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 March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and its cash flows for the three months then ended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. On January 1, 1996, Shoreline adopted several new accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," establishes guidance in determining impairment of long-lived and intangible assets and related treatment if the value is determined to be impaired. SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage-Servicing Rights," changes the accounting for mortgage servicing rights when servicing rights are retained for loans originated and subsequently sold. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires disclosure of the fair value and pro forma net income effect of granting stock options. The effect of adopting these standards 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 -8- 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 unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. The Corporation did not hold any securities considered for this category at any time during the first quarter of 1996. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the specific security sold. During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the proceeds from sales of available for sale securities were $701,131, with gross realized gains of $34,763 and gross realized losses of $2,024 from those sales. For this period, the change in net unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities was a decrease of $956,000. 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 $172,524 and $182,477 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Core deposit intangibles totaled $2,399,287 and $2,459,916 at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. These amounts are included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 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. Common equivalent shares are shares which may be issuable to employees upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The average number of shares was 5,249,093 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 5,242,174 in the three months ended March 31, 1995. -9- NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES Components for the provision of federal income taxes are as follows: MARCH 31, 1996 Taxes currently payable $1,300,000 Deferred tax benefits (409,000) Income Tax Expense $ 891,000 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: MARCH 31, 1996 Income tax calculated at statutory federal rate of 34% 1,105,000 Increase (decrease) due to tax effect of Tax-exempt income (241,000) Nondeductible expense and other 27,000 Income Tax Expense $ 891,000 The components of the net deferred tax asset recorded in the balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 are as follows: Total deferred tax liabilities $(1,252,000) Total deferred tax assets 4,208,000 Total valuation allowance 0 Net Deferred Tax Asset $ 2,956,000 -10- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Total deposits averaged $594.9 million during the first quarter of 1996. This represents an increase of $16.4 million or 2.8% over the previous quarter's average of $578.4 million. Approximately $8 million of this increase resulted from the acquisition of the Adamsville, Michigan branch from Old Kent Bank. A comparison of the quarterly averages for the past two quarters follows: AVG BAL AVG BAL 1ST QTR 96 4TH QTR 95 (000S) Non-Interest Bearing Demand Deposits $ 65,158 $ 68,666 Interest-Bearing Demand Deposits 82,067 72,627 Savings Deposits 178,755 177,587 Time Deposits 268,875 259,528 Total $594,855 $578,408 In comparison to the fourth quarter of 1995, interest-bearing demand deposits increased $9.4 million. Shoreline Bank's Super Public Fund NOW account continues to attract increased usage from municipal customers, accounting for the majority of this increase. The increase in time deposit average balances during the first quarter reflects both the branch acquisition in December and a $3.2 million increase in time deposits greater than $100,000. On March 31, 1996, deposits totaled $603.4 million which compares with the December 31, 1995 total of $592.3 million. Total loans averaged $473.7 million during the first quarter of 1996 which compares to the previous quarter's average of $458.5 million. While all three loan portfolios contributed to this increase, Shoreline's mortgage loan portfolio provided the majority of the increase. Average mortgage loans increased $11.3 million caused by a combination of increased originations, slightly reduced sales to the secondary market and reduced principal reductions. The commercial and consumer loan portfolios increased $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in comparison to the fourth quarter of 1995. At March 31, 1996, total loans amounted to $483.4 million, an increase of $17.4 million over December 31, 1995. Total investments averaged $159.2 million in the first quarter of 1996. This compares to the previous quarter's average of $155.9 million. Increased average federal funds provided the growth in this area. Federal funds sold averaged $10.2 million or 1.5% of total average assets. -11- Total non-performing assets at March 31, 1996 were $1.5 million, which represented .31% of Shoreline's total loan portfolio at that date. This level of non-performing assets compares to December 31, 1995's ratio of .35%. 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 first quarter of 1996, Shoreline experienced net loan charge-offs of $66,826 which represents only .01% of total average loans. As a result, the Corporation lowered its quarterly provision for loan losses from $175,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995 to $150,000 in the first quarter of 1996. At March 31, 1996, Shoreline's allowance for loan losses amounted to $6,687,325 which represents 1.38% of total loans and provides a coverage of over 4 times the level of non-performing assets identified at March 31, 1996. At December 31, 1995, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.42%. LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY During the first quarter of 1996, Shoreline's loan to deposit ratio was 79.6%. This represents a slight increase from the previous quarter's ratio of 79.3%. As previously noted, during the first quarter, average federal funds sold represented 1.5% of Shoreline's total assets. Approximately $100 million or 68.8% of Shoreline's total securities portfolio was classified as available for sale on March 31, 1996 and $646,000 of loans were classified as held for sale. On March 31, 1996, Shoreline had commitments to make or purchase loans, including the unused portion of lines of credit, totaling $105 million. -12- On March 31, 1996, the cumulative funding gaps of interest- earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected maturity periods are illustrated as follows: REPRICEABLE OR MATURING WITHIN: 0 TO 3 0 TO 12 0 TO 5 (000S) MONTHS MONTHS YEARS Interest-earning assets Loans $ 166,901 $ 231,232 $425,674 Securities 14,156 29,789 116,852 Federal funds sold 14,825 14,825 14,825 Total $ 195,882 $ 275,846 $557,351 Interest-bearing liabilities Time deposits $ 66,726 $ 178,277 $270,252 Demand deposits 89,695 89,695 89,695 Savings deposits 174,738 174,738 174,738 Other borrowings 3,573 7,573 12,573 Total $ 334,732 $ 450,283 $547,258 Asset/(Liability) Gap $(138,850) $(174,437) $ 10,093 This table indicates that total liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceed assets maturing or repricing within one year by $174.4 million. The same presentation as of December 31, 1995 produced a liability gap of $156.6 million for the same time period. 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 1-5 year period is more reflective of the Corporation's experience. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity amounted to $64.9 million on March 31, 1996. Included in this total are net unrealized gains on securities available for sale totaling $1.5 million. During the first quarter of 1996, Shoreline's Board of Directors approved and paid a cash dividend of $.20 per share. A summary of Shoreline's capital position follows: -13- MARCH 31, 1996 DECEMBER 31, 1995 Equity to assets 9.43% 9.59% Tier I leverage 8.86% 8.91% Risk-based: Tier I Capital 14.22% 14.56% Total Capital 15.48% 15.81% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $2,357,558, an increase of 15.4% over the same period in 1995. Increased net interest income resulting from increased volume along with reduced other expenses produced the increase in earnings over the prior year. 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 MARCH 31 1996 1995 (000S) Interest Income (taxable equivalent) $ 13,508 $ 12,551 Interest Expense 6,172 5,569 Net Interest Income $ 7,336 $ 6,982 Average Volume: Interest-Earning Assets $632,926 $589,134 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 541,443 507,798 Net Differential $ 91,483 $ 81,336 Average Yields/Rates: Yield on earning assets 8.56% 8.64% Rate paid on liabilities 4.57% 4.45% Interest Spread 3.99% 4.19% Net Interest Margin 4.65% 4.80% -14- The change in net interest income (in thousands) is attributable to the following: VOLUME RATE INC/(DEC) Interest-Earning Assets $1,060 $(103) $957 Interest-Bearing Liabilities 428 175 603 Net Interest Income $ 632 $(278) $354 Shoreline expensed $150,000 for the provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 1996, reduced from the previous quarter's provision of $175,000. 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 March 31, 1996 amounted to $986,517, a decrease of $61,702 from the first quarter in 1995. Increased trust and security transaction income did not offset declines in service charge and other income. Trust income increased $40,121 or 12.1% over the first quarter of 1995. Increased trust assets managed helped to produce this increase. Gains from securities transactions totaled $70,639 during the first three months of 1996 compared to net losses of $30,856 during the three months ended March 31, 1995. Deposit service charge income declined $39,552 from the prior year. Emphasis on relationship business contributed to this decline. Other income totaled $125,458 in the first quarter of 1996 which compares to $289,224 in the first quarter in 1995. The resulting decline of $163,766 was caused primarily by two items. First, in the first quarter of 1995, Shoreline recorded $99,419 of income from credit card activities. However, during this same quarter, Shoreline discontinued the majority of its credit card operations. The discontinuance of this operation produced a decline of $90,345 in this area. Second, Shoreline incurred losses of $61,867 from the sale of mortgage loans in first quarter of 1996, which compares to net losses of $9,847 during the same period in 1995. Total other expense amounted to $4,639,615 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. This represents a reduction of $104,218 or 2.2% from the same period in 1995. A decline of $387,343 in other expense contributed to the overall decline in overhead expense. Reduced FDIC insurance, marketing and credit card expense produce the decline in other expense. Personnel expense increased 7.8% or $191,077 over the first quarter of 1995. Increased full time equivalent levels resulting in increased salary expense was the primary contributor to the overall increase in personnel expense. Total occupancy and equipment expense increased $92,048 or 12.6% in comparison to the first quarter of 1995. Increased repairs and maintenance -15- expense along with increased equipment depreciation expense contributed to this increase in expense. Shoreline's ratio of total other expenses to total average assets decreased from 2.76% during the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 2.60% in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Over the same period of time, Shoreline's efficiency ratio has declined from 59.24% to 55.98%. In summary, Shoreline's net income of $2,357,558 for the first quarter of 1996 produced a return on average shareholders' equity of 14.45% and a return on average assets of 1.40%. This compares to the prior year's ratios of 14.22% and 1.31%, respectively. Earnings per share through March 31, 1996 were $.45 and dividends per share were $.20, which produces a dividend payout ratio of 44.4%. Earnings per share through March 31, 1995 were $.39 and dividends per share were $.17. -16- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
