CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of financial statements. 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 ("Shoreline" or the "Corporation") as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and its cash flows for the nine months then ended. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This pronouncement revises the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. SFAS No. 125, as amended by SFAS No. 127, is effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. The effect of adopting this standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements of Shoreline Financial Corporation. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which revises the accounting requirements for calculating earnings per share. Effective beginning with year-end 1997, basic earnings per share will be calculated solely on average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share will reflect the potential dilution of stock options and other common stock equivalents. All prior calculations will be restated to be comparable to the new methods. Since the Corporation has not had significant dilution from stock options, the new calculation methods will not significantly affect future basic earnings per share or diluted earnings per share. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenue, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized -8- under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Income tax effects must also be shown. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Corporation. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Corporation. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shoreline Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Shoreline Bank, together referred as "Shoreline." 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 Shoreline has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Available for sale securities are those which Shoreline 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 unrealized gains or losses included in earnings. Shoreline did not hold any securities considered for this category at any time during the third quarter of 1997. Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of the specific security sold. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the proceeds from sales of available for sale securities were $15,771,748, with gross realized gains of $120,634 and gross realized losses of $10,040 from -9- those sales. Gross gains of $12,094 were realized on calls of securities during the same period. For this period, the change in net unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities was an increase of approximately $212,000. 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 acquisitions. Goodwill is expensed on the straight-line method over no more than 25 years. The related core deposit intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated life of the deposits acquired. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles totaled approximately $12,077,000 and $2,377,000 at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of SJS Bancorp, Inc. as discussed below. These amounts are included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheets. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense for the periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is based upon the asset and liability method. Shoreline records income tax expense based on the amount of taxes due on its tax return plus deferred taxes computed based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates. 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 outstanding was 5,904,372 in the third quarter of 1997 and 5,803,970 in the third quarter of 1996. The average number of shares outstanding was 5,882,553 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 5,794,082 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION On June 13, 1997, Shoreline completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of SJS Bancorp, Inc. ("SJS"), headquartered in St. Joseph, Michigan, for approximately $24.8 million in cash. The acquisition is accounted for as a purchase. Intangibles are amortized under various methods over their estimated lives. The fair values of assets and liabilities assumed were as follows (in thousands): -10- Cash acquired, net of cash paid for acquisition $ (20,436) Securities 28,794 Loans, net 112,293 Premises and equipment, net 2,173 Acquisition intangibles 10,619 Other assets 301 Deposits (110,743) FHLB advances (21,686) Other liabilities (1,315) NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES Components of the provision for federal income taxes are as follows: SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 ------------------ Taxes currently payable $ 3,350,000 Deferred tax expense 40,500 ------------- Income tax expense $ 3,390,500 ============= 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 income taxes is as follows: SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 ------------------ Income tax calculated at statutory federal rate of 34% $ 3,888,000 Increase (decrease) due to tax effect of Tax-exempt income (643,000) Nondeductible expense and other 145,500 ------------- Income tax expense $ 3,390,500 ============= -11- The components of the net deferred tax asset recorded in the balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 are as follows: Total deferred tax liabilities $ (1,281,000) Total deferred tax assets 3,606,000 Total valuation allowance 0 -------------- Net deferred tax asset $ 2,325,000 ============== ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion compares the financial condition of Shoreline Financial Corporation ("Shoreline") at September 30, 1997 to December 31, 1996 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 with the same periods in 1996. The acquisition of SJS Bancorp, Inc. ("SJS") in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 is reflected in the balance sheet of Shoreline with the addition of approximately $134 million in market valued assets and liabilities (see Note 2). As such, average balance comparisons normally used in the balance sheet discussion provide limited usefulness due to the SJS transaction. Therefore, the discussion relating to the financial condition of Shoreline compares actual balances of selected items. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets of Shoreline were $876.7 million as of September 30, 1997, a 22.4% increase compared to the balance of $716.1 million at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of SJS accounted for $133.7 million of such growth. Total deposits on September 30, 1997 were $738.0 million, an increase of $121.5 million from December 31, 1996. Deposits added to the balance sheet as a result of the SJS acquisition totaled $110.7 million. Approximately 75% of these deposits were interest-bearing time deposits. Only $1.3 million of the SJS deposits were noninterest-bearing. Without considering the SJS deposits, total deposits have increased $10.8 million from December 31, 1996. The majority of this increase ($9.0 million) occurred in the third quarter of 1997. Growth in Shoreline's Super Public Fund account, an interest-bearing demand deposit account geared toward municipalities, as well as increases in core deposit accounts including demand deposits and personal checking accounts provided retail funding sources. Gains in the Super Public Fund account can be attributed to seasonal funding patterns of the municipalities. Growth in these deposits was partially offset by declines in money market, savings and certificates of deposit accounts during the third quarter of 1997. -12- Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLB") increased to $50.3 million as of September 30, 1997 from $18.0 million as of December 31, 1996. The majority of this increase resulted from the addition of $21.7 million in outstanding borrowings of SJS. Shoreline has also taken advantage of its membership in the FHLB by increasing its borrowings as an alternative source of funds throughout 1997. This source of wholesale funding provides an alternative to conventional retail funding at comparable or reduced cost. Total loans increased $117.4 million to $618.0 million as of September 30, 1997 from $500.6 million as of December 31, 1996. Of this increase, $112.3 million was attributable to the acquisition of SJS. Eliminating this effect, Shoreline's loan portfolios increased $5.1 million over the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997. The majority of this increase occurred in the commercial loan portfolio, where volume rose $15 million - $10.6 million of which occurred in the third quarter of 1997. Eliminating the impact of the SJS merger, consumer loans increased $6.7 million primarily as a result of a promotional program held early in the second quarter and repeated in the third quarter of 1997. The mortgage loan portfolio declined $16.6 million primarily due to ongoing sales of originated fixed rate loans in the secondary market in conformity with the bank's asset-liability policy and the block sale of $8.8 million of low rate 30 year loans in the third quarter of 1997. This sale was comprised of all secondary market eligible loans with rates ranging from 6.75% through 7.475%. Management believes this transaction will allow Shoreline to more effectively manage and distribute the mix of its assets through prudent asset-liability management. Management believes reinvestment of these assets is enhanced by the transaction. Total investment securities were $168.3 million as of September 30, 1997, an increase of $30.4 million from December 31, 1996. The SJS transaction added $28.8 million to Shoreline's securities portfolio, of which $27.6 million were U.S. Government Agency securities designated as available for sale. Shoreline's short-term investments were impacted by the payment of $24.8 million for the purchase of all of the outstanding common stock of SJS. Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997, approximating the level at year end 1996, is representative of the level at which Shoreline will normally operate. Other assets increased $11.1 million to $23.1 million as of September 30, 1997 from $12.0 million as of December 31, 1997. The purchase accounting method was used in the acquisition of SJS, resulting in the addition of related intangibles totaling $10.6 million. -13- Total non-performing assets at September 30, 1997 were $2.8 million, which represents .47% of Shoreline's total loan portfolio at that date. 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 1997, Shoreline recorded charge-offs net of recoveries totalling $47,309. Total net charge-offs on a fiscal year-to-date basis were only $74,024, which represents .01% of average total loans for the same period. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 1997 was $180,000, an increase of $60,000 over the second quarter of the year. Management believes the increased provision provides stability to the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans after the addition of loans from SJS. At September 30, 1997, Shoreline's allowance for loan losses was $7,781,515, which provides a coverage ratio of 2.8 times the level of non-performing assets identified at that date. The SJS transaction added approximately $540,000 to Shoreline's allowance. This amount, as well as the increased provision in the third quarter of 1997, raised Shoreline's allowance as a percentage of total loans to 1.24% at September 30, 1997 from 1.23% at June 30, 1997. Management believes the level of the loan loss reserve is adequate to cover the risk associated with its loan portfolio. LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY During the third quarter of 1997, Shoreline's loan to deposit ratio was 85.1%, up from the previous quarter's ratio of 81.4%. During the third quarter of 1997, average interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold represented 1.7% of Shoreline's total assets. Shoreline built its level of interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold to a much higher level during the second quarter of 1997 in anticipation of the cash purchase of SJS in June. Approximately $125 million or 74% of Shoreline's total securities portfolio was classified as available for sale on September 30, 1997 and $1,751,000 of loans were classified as held for sale. On September 30, 1997, Shoreline had commitments to make or purchase loans, including the unused portions of lines of credit, totaling approximately $116 million. On September 30, 1997, the cumulative funding gaps of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for selected maturity periods are illustrated as follows: -14- REPRICEABLE OR MATURING WITHIN: ------------------------------------ 0 TO 3 0 TO 12 0 TO 5 (000S) MONTHS MONTHS YEARS ------ ------- ------ Interest-earning assets Loans $ 160,274 $ 271,178 $ 558,700 Securities 18,225 32,777 94,318 Federal funds sold 14,625 14,625 14,265 Interest-earning deposits 10,232 10,232 10,232 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 203,356 $ 328,812 $ 677,875 ========= ========= ========= Interest-bearing liabilities Time deposits $ 80,025 $ 241,555 $ 368,575 Demand and savings deposits 288,448 288,448 288,448 Other borrowings 20,134 33,884 59,143 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 388,607 $ 563,887 $ 716,166 ========= ========= ========= Asset/(liability) gap $(185,251) $(235,075) $ (38,291) ========= ========= ========= As shown, Shoreline had a cumulative liability gap position of $235.1 million within the one-year maturity period. At September 30, 1996, Shoreline reported a liability gap position in the same maturity period of $170.4 million. The increase reflects the addition of SJS rate sensitive assets and liabilities. This position suggests that if market interest rates decline in the next 12 months, Shoreline has the potential to earn more net interest income. A limitation of the traditional static gap analysis, however, is that it does not consider the timing or magnitude of noncontractual repricing. In addition, the static gap analysis treats demand and savings accounts as resistant to rate sensitivity. Because of these and other limitations of the static gap analysis, Shoreline's Asset/Liability Committee utilizes simulation modeling as its primary tool to project how changes in interest rates will impact net interest income. These models indicate, and management believes, that Shoreline is positioned such that changes in rates within anticipated ranges and under anticipated circumstances would not severely alter operating results. CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity was $74.8 million on September 30, 1997. Included in this total are net unrealized gains on securities available for sale totaling $1.5 million, an increase of approximately $140,000 from December 31, 1996. During the third quarter of 1997, Shoreline's Board of Directors approved and paid a cash dividend of $.22 -15- per share. Shoreline's capital ratios declined from December 31, 1996 reflecting the impact of its purchase of SJS. However, Shoreline's capital position still remains strong and is well above minimum regulatory standards. Shoreline remains classified as a "well-capitalized" institution under these standards. SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 DECEMBER 31, 1996 ------------------ ----------------- Equity to assets 8.53% 9.69% Tier I leverage 7.08% 9.30% Risk-based: Tier I Capital 11.59% 15.10% Total Capital 12.83% 16.33% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $2,852,797, an increase of 22.2%, or $517,453, over the same period in 1996. Revenue growth, both in net interest income and noninterest income, was the primary reason behind the improved profitability. The following table illustrates the effect that changes in rates and volumes of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996: THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 1997 1996 ---- ---- (000S) Interest income (taxable equivalent) $ 17,306 $ 14,075 Interest expense 8,426 6,340 ---------- --------- Net interest income $ 8,880 $ 7,735 ========== ========= Average volume Interest-earning assets $ 804,361 $ 654,693 Interest-bearing liabilities 709,240 557,376 ---------- --------- Net differential $ 95,121 $ 97,317 ========== ========= Average yields/rates: Yield on earning assets 8.54% 8.55% Rate paid on liabilities 4.71% 4.53% ========== ========= Interest spread 3.83% 4.02% ========== ========= Net interest margin 4.38% 4.70% ========== ========= -16- The change in net interest income (in thousands) is attributable to the following: VOLUME RATE INC/(DEC) ------ ---- -------- Interest-earning assets $ 3,247 $ (16) $ 3,231 Interest-bearing liabilities 1,821 265 2,086 ---------- --------- --------- Net interest income $ 1,426 $ (281) $ 1,145 ========== ========= ========= Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $8,044,520, an increase of 13.5% over the same period in 1996. Increased revenue from net interest income and other income provided this increase. The following table illustrates the effect that changes in rates and volumes of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 1997 1996 ---- ---- (000S) Interest income (taxable equivalent) $ 46,328 $ 41,359 Interest expense 22,084 18,702 ------------ ------------ Net interest income $ 24,244 $ 22,657 ============ ============ Average volume Interest-earning assets $ 730,045 $ 645,290 Interest-bearing liabilities 633,137 550,952 ------------ ------------ Net differential $ 96,908 $ 94,338 ============ ============ Average yields/rates: Yield on earning assets 8.48% 8.56% Rate paid on liabilities 4.66% 4.53% ============ ============ Interest spread 3.82% 4.03% ============ ============ Net interest margin 4.44% 4.69% ============ ============ The change in net interest income (in thousands) is attributable to the following: -17- VOLUME RATE INC/(DEC) ------ ---- -------- Interest-earning assets $ 5,360 $ (391) $ 4,969 Interest-bearing liabilities 2,834 548 3,382 ----------- --------- ---------- Net interest income $ 2,526 $ (939) $ 1,587 =========== ========= ========== Shoreline expensed $180,000 for the provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 1997, up $60,000 from the previous quarter. 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, 1997 was $1,513,284, an increase of $364,188, or 31.7% over the third quarter in 1996. Increased other income accounted for approximately $247,000 of this increase. Increased gains from the sale of mortgage loans as well as increased ATM fee income provided the majority of the increase in other income. Increased deposit service charge income contributed $75,000 to the increase in total other income. For the nine months ended September 30, total other income was $4,132,134 in 1997 compared to $3,197,920 in 1996. This is an increase of 29.2% or $934,214. Again, increased other income provided the majority of growth in this area. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $1,215,671, an increase of $698,853 over same period in 1996. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans accounted for $338,957 of this increase, with ATM fee income and investment and insurance sale income also contributing to the $710,706 increase. Deposit service charge income increased $226,222 or 17.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Trust fee income provided an additional $77,000 in 1997 year-to-date. As a percentage of average assets, other income for the first nine months in 1997 totaled .69% compared to .59% in 1996. Total other expense was $5,731,619 during the third quarter of 1997, an increase of $564,661 or 10.9% over the same period in 1996. Assimilation of the SJS merger, including increased personnel costs which amount to over 50% of the increased expense, contributed to the total. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, total other expense was $15,826,119, which is an increase of 7.4% or $1,096,508 over the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Increased use of professional services related to outsource arrangements and consulting projects along with increased advertising, personnel and other expenses related to the SJS acquisition contributed to the increase. As a percentage of average assets, total other expense was 2.71% through September 1997. This compares to the -18- prior year's ratio over the same time period of 2.86%. Shoreline's efficiency ratio also declined from 57.2% in the first nine months of 1996 to 55.7% in the first nine months of 1997. In summary, Shoreline's net income of $2,852,797 in the third quarter of 1997 produced a return on average shareholders' equity of 15.31% and a return on average assets of 1.31%. On a year-to-date basis, Shoreline's return on average shareholders' equity was 14.94% and its return on average assets was 1.38% for 1997 which favorably compare to 1996 ratios of 14.39% and 1.38%, respectively. Earnings per share through September 30, 1997 was $1.37 and dividends per share was $.63. These compare to earnings per share and dividends per share through September 30, 1996 of $1.22 and $.56, respectively. -19- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
