In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Shoreline Financial Corporation as of September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. FASB Standard No. 114 was adopted at January 1, 1995. Under this standard, loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral, by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as bad debt expense. The effect of adopting this standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements of Shoreline Financial Corporation. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shoreline Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shoreline Bank. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES Securities are classified into held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those which the Corporation may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset- liability management or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Trading securities are bought principally for sale in the near term, and are reported at fair value with -5- unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. The Corporation did not hold any securities considered for this category at any time during the third quarter of 1995. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the specific security sold. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, the proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $5,629,808, with gross realized gains of $33,133 and gross realized losses of $125,308 from those sales. For this period, the change in net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities was an increase of $3.7 million. There were no sales or transfers of securities classified as held-to-maturity. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net value of tangible assets acquired and related core deposit intangibles identified in branch acquisitions. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis for a period of ten years. The related core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated life of the deposits acquired. Goodwill totaled $192,437 and $222,290 at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. Core deposit intangibles totaled $2,207,785 and $2,369,038 at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. These amounts are included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 is based upon the liability method, according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Certain income tax and expense items are reported in different time periods for tax purposes. Deferred or prepaid taxes are recorded in the balance sheet for these temporary differences. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common equivalent shares with a dilutive effect. On May 4, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend, payable June 15, 1995, to shareholders of record on June 1, 1995. Common equivalent shares are shares which may be issuable to employees upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The average number of shares was 5,261,001 in the third quarter of 1995, and 5,217,122 in the third quarter of 1994. The average number of shares was 5,250,956 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 5,209,870 in the nine months ended September 30, 1994. -6- NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES Components for the provision of federal income taxes are as follows: September 30, 1995 Taxes currently payable $ 3,427,000 Deferred tax benefit (1,084,000) Income Tax Expense $ 2,343,000 The deferred income taxes are due primarily to the temporary difference related to depreciation, bad debt deductions, mark-to-market of securities held-for-sale and deferred loan fees. The difference between the provision for income taxes shown on the statement of income and amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before tax expense is as follows: September 30, 1995 Income tax calculated at statutory federal rate of 34% $ 2,996,000 Increase (decrease) due to tax effect of Tax-exempt income (845,000) Nondeductible expense and other 192,000 Income Tax Expense $ 2,343,000 The components of the net deferred tax asset recorded in the balance sheet as of September 30, 1995 are as follows: Total deferred tax liabilities $ (1,270,000) Total deferred tax assets 3,023,000 Total valuation allowance 0 Net Deferred Tax Asset $ 1,753,000 -7- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Total deposits averaged $575.6 million during the third quarter of 1995. This represents a modest increase of approximately $700,000 over the second quarter's average of $574.9 million. A comparison of the quarterly averages for the first three quarters in 1995 follows: Avg Bal Avg Bal Avg Bal (000S) 3rd Qtr 95 2nd Qtr 95 1st Qtr 95 Non-Interest Bearing Demand Deposits $ 67,912 $ 64,894 $ 62,454 Interest-Bearing Demand Deposits 70,550 70,441 67,907 Savings Deposits 185,431 184,261 184,703 Time Deposits 251,736 255,390 247,797 Total $ 575,629 $ 574,986 $ 562,861 In comparison to the second quarter of 1995, average demand deposits increased $3 million which helped to offset the $3.6 million decline in time deposits. The third quarter decline in time deposits was seen primarily in the less than $100,000 category. Interest-bearing demand deposits remained unchanged while average savings accounts increased by a modest $1.2 million. At September 30, 1995, total deposits had increased to $581.4 million as a result of certain large corporate and municipal depositor activity. Deposits totaled $566.1 million on December 31, 1994. Average total loans increased to $447.6 million during the third quarter of 1995 compared to the previous quarter's average of $441.8 million. Shoreline's average mortgage loan portfolio increased $5 million during the third quarter of 1995, partially due to the seasonality of home buying activity. The consumer loan portfolio increased approximately $3 million during the third quarter which helped to offset the $2.3 million decline in commercial loans during the same period. At September 30, 1995, total loans amounted to $455.7 million, an increase of $19.2 million over December 31, 1994. Total investments averaged $161.1 million in the third quarter of 1995. This compares to the second quarter's average of $164.4 million. Average federal funds sold declined approximately $9.6 million during the third quarter and averaged $11.3 million or 1.7% of total average assets. US Treasury and Government Agency securities increased approximately $8.2 million during the third quarter while municipal securities declined $2 million. -8- Shoreline continues to experience favorable trends in its level of non-performing assets. Total non-performing assets at September 30, 1995 were $1.4 million, which represents .32% of Shoreline's total loan portfolio at that date. This level of non-performing assets compares to June 30, 1995's ratio .40% and December 31, 1994's ratio of .51%. Non- performing assets include loans that are classified for regulatory purposes as contractually past due 90 days or more, on non-accrual status or "troubled debt restructurings" and other real estate owned. During the third quarter of 1995, Shoreline experienced net loan charge-offs of only $30,074, which represents less than .01% of total average loans. As a result of this favorable experience, the Corporation lowered its quarterly provision for loan losses from $200,000 in both the first and second quarters of 1995 to $175,000 in the third quarter of 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net charge-offs amounted to $48,333 or .01% of total average loans. At September 30, 1995, the Corporation's allowance for loan losses amounted to $6,478,636 which represents 1.42% of total loans and provides a coverage of over four times the level of non-performing assets identified at September 30, 1995. At December 31, 1994, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.36%. FUTURE TRANSACTIONS During the third quarter, regulatory authorities approved outstanding agreements to purchase the South Haven, Michigan branch from Great Lakes Bancorp and the Adamsville, Michigan branch from Old Kent Bank. It is anticipated the Adamsville transaction will be consummated during the fourth quarter of 1995. However, with the delay experienced in obtaining regulatory approval, negotiations over the South Haven branch have broken down and it is anticipated the transaction will not occur. LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY During the third quarter of 1995, Shoreline's loan to deposit ratio was 77.75%. This represents a slight increase from the second quarter ratio of 76.8%. As noted previously, during the third quarter, average federal funds sold represented 1.7% of the Corporation's total assets, which compares to the second quarter's ratio of 3.2%. Approximately $79.7 million or 53.1% of Shoreline's total securities portfolio was classified as available-for-sale on September 30, 1995 and $386,000 of loans were classified as held-for-sale. On September 30, 1995, Shoreline had commitments to make or purchase loans, including the unused portion of lines of credit, totaling $67.1 million. On September 30, 1995, the cumulative funding gaps of interest- earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected maturity periods are illustrated as follows: -9- Repriceable or Maturing Within: 0 to 3 0 to 12 0 to 5 (000S) Months Months Years Interest-earning assets Loans $ 157,534 $ 238,300 $ 409,543 Securities 10,920 28,986 107,877 Federal funds sold 11,575 11,575 11,575 Total $ 180,029 $ 278,861 $ 528,995 Interest-bearing liabilities Time deposits $ 55,989 $ 159,894 $ 250,203 Demand deposits 75,556 75,556 75,556 Savings deposits 186,535 186,535 186,535 Other borrowings 4,759 4,759 9,759 Total $ 322,839 $ 426,744 $ 522,053 Asset/(Liability) Gap $(142,810) $(147,883) $ 6,942 This table indicates that total liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceed assets maturing or repricing within one year by $147.9 million. The same presentation as of December 31, 1994 produced a liability gap of $115.9 million. Competitive pressures and other influences may cause certain assets and liabilities to mature or reprice in other periods or at different volumes than indicated above. Specifically, all demand and savings accounts are presented as repricing in the 0-3 month period. Management believes that these types of accounts are not as sensitive to changes in interest rates in the short term as this presentation would indicate and that the positive funding gap in the 0-5 year period is more reflective of the Corporation's experience during 1994 and 1995. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity amounted to $62.5 million on September 30, 1995. Included in this total are net unrealized gains on available-for- sale securities of $1.5 million. During the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved and paid a cash dividend of $.18 per share. A summary of Shoreline's capital position follows: -10- September 30, 1995 December 31, 1994 Equity to assets 9.52% 9.02% Tier I leverage 8.96% 8.65% Risk-based: Tier I Capital 14.14% 13.62% Total Capital 15.70% 14.87% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $2,331,206, an increase of 21.7% over the same period in 1994. Increased net interest income along with a significant reduction in other expenses produced the increase in earnings over the prior year. Shoreline's net income for the preceding quarter was $2,096,309. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net income totaled $6,470,056, which represents an increase of $1,204,269 or 22.9% over the same period in 1994. Again, increased net interest income and reduced other expenses helped to produce the improved results. The following table illustrates the effect that changes in rates and volumes of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income: Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 1994 (000S) Interest Income (taxable equivalent) $ 13,330 $ 11,774 Interest Expense 6,058 4,755 Net Interest Income $ 7,272 $ 7,019 Average Volume: Interest-Earning Assets $ 608,686 $ 576,595 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 516,427 500,212 Net Differential $ 92,259 $ 76,383 Average Yields/Rates: Yield on earning assets 8.69% 8.10% Rate paid on liabilities 4.65% 3.77% Interest Spread 4.04% 4.33% Net Interest Margin 4.74% 4.83% -11- The change in net interest income (in thousands) is attributable to the following: Volume Rate Inc/(Dec) Interest-Earning Assets $ 674 $ 882 $ 1,556 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 159 1,144 1,303 Net Interest $ 515 $ (262) $ 253 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 1994 (000S) Interest Income (taxable equivalent) $ 39,271 $ 33,322 Interest Expense 17,736 13,524 Net Interest Income $ 21,535 $ 19,798 Average Volume: Interest-Earning Assets $ 603,604 $ 573,382 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 515,971 498,182 Net Differential $ 87,633 $ 75,200 Average Yields/Rates: Yield on earning assets 8.70% 7.75% Rate paid on liabilities 4.60% 3.62% Interest Spread 4.10% 4.11% Net Interest Margin 4.77% 4.60% The change in net interest income (in thousands) is attributable to the following: Volume Rate Inc/(Dec) Interest-Earning Assets $ 1,789 $ 4,160 $ 5,949 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 523 3,689 4,212 Net Interest $ 1,266 $ 471 $ 1,737 -12- The Corporation expensed $175,000 for the provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 1995, reduced from the previous quarter's provision of $200,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, Shoreline has provided $575,000 for the provision for loan losses which compares to $550,000 during the first nine months in 1994. The provision for loan losses is based upon loan loss experience and such other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses. Total other income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 amounted to $930,134, a decrease of $318,469 from the third quarter in 1994. A decline of approximately $322,000 in other income accounted for this variance. The sale of the Corporation's credit card portfolio in December of 1994 eliminated corresponding fee income in this area in 1995. This change accounted for over $250,000 of the variance in the other income category. A decline of $51,322 of deposit service charge income in comparison to the third quarter of 1994 added to the overall decline in other income. Increased securities gains in the third quarter of 1995 in comparison to the third quarter of 1994 helped to partially offset the declines noted above. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, total other income amounted to $3,061,964, which is a decline of $415,479 from the same period in 1994. Losses from the sale of securities totaling $24,549 were recorded during the first nine months of 1995, which compares to gains recorded during the same period in 1994 of $105,169, a reduction of over $129,718. In addition, the sale of Shoreline's credit card portfolio in December of 1994 has resulted in a $327,657 reduction in related fee income through the first nine months of 1995. Total other expense amounted to $4,418,972 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. This represents a significant reduction of over $695,000 or 13.6% from the same period in 1994. The reduction in the FDIC insurance premiums from $.23 to $.04 per $100 of deposits retroactive to June 1, 1995 reduced Shoreline's FDIC expense in the third quarter to zero. FDIC insurance expense during the third quarter of 1994 was approximately $305,000. Advertising and public relations expense decreased approximately $160,000 from the third quarter of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995. The expense in 1994 was increased as a result of the advertising campaign associated with the merger of Shoreline's two affiliate banks. Finally, credit card processing expense decreased approximately $161,000 from the third quarter of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995. As mentioned above, the sale of the Corporation's credit card portfolio caused this decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, total other expense amounted to $14,175,015, which compares to $14,723,922 recorded during the same period in 1994, a decrease of $548,907 or 3.7%. Personnel expense remained virtually unchanged in comparison to the same period in 1994. Occupancy and equipment expense increased 5.8% through the first nine months of 1995 primarily the result of increased equipment depreciation -13- and amortization. This increase was more than offset by the $667,613 decrease in other expense. As mentioned previously, reduced FDIC insurance premiums, advertising and public relations and credit card processing expense accounted for the majority of this decrease in comparison to the first nine months in 1994. Shoreline's ratio of total other expenses to total average assets decreased from 3.19% during the nine months ended September 30, 1994 to 2.94% in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Over the same period of time, Shoreline's efficiency ratio has declined from 63.20% to 57.00%. Currently, legislators are contemplating a special one-time assessment on deposits covered by the Savings Association Insurance Fund that are held by financial institutions which, if enacted during the fourth quarter, would negatively impact Shoreline's efficiency ratio. In summary, Shoreline's net income of $2,331,206 for the third quarter of 1995 produced a return on average shareholders' equity of 15.20% and a return on average assets of 1.42%. This compares to the prior year's ratios of 13.65% and 1.22%, respectively. On a year-to-date basis, Shoreline's return on average shareholders' equity stands at 14.48% and its return on average assets is 1.34%. This compares to the prior year's ratios of 12.86% and 1.14%, respectively. Earnings per share through September 30, 1995 were $1.23 and dividends per share were $.53, which produces a dividend payout ratio of 43.1%. Earnings per share through September 30, 1994 were $1.01 and dividends per share were $.46. -14- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
