Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K 13 SIGNATURES 14 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-Q Quarterly Report and the documents incorporated in this report by reference contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, that economy, and about Shoreline Financial Corporation (Shoreline) itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "projects," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Year 2000 related remediation, cost and risk assessments are necessarily statements of belief as to the outcome of future events, based in part on information provided by vendors and others that Shoreline has not independently verified. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood, and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied, or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Future factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulations; changes in tax laws; and changes in prices, levies, and assessments. Additionally, the impact of technological advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behaviors as well as their ability to repay loans; the ability of the companies on which Shoreline relies to make their computer systems Year 2000 compliant; the ability to locate and convert all relevant computer codes and data; the vicissitudes of the national economy; the possibility that expected cost savings from mergers might not be fully realized within the expected time frame; and similar uncertainties could also cause a difference between an actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. Shoreline undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify the expected time frame or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. 2 PART I.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected Shoreline's financial condition and results of operations during the periods specified in the condensed consolidated financial statements included earlier in this filing. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Shoreline's net income was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 1999, up 2.4% compared with $3.0 million for the same period in 1998. Diluted earnings per share for both quarters were $.34. Total assets were $951 million at March 31, 1999 and $955 million at December 31, 1998. Return on average assets was 1.32% for the first quarter of 1999 and 1.40% for the same period in 1998. Return on equity, for the same comparable periods, was 14.50% and 15.73%, respectively. Shoreline's net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $9.1 million, a 6.4% increase over the $8.5 million recorded for the same quarter of 1998 as the mix within earning assets and deposits was modified for improved profitability. The net interest margin, annualized, was 4.09% for the 1999 period and 4.16% for the 1998 period. The main reason for the net interest margin decline was the lower interest rate environment, which caused both the yields on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities to decline. Asset quality improvement, as indicated by the decrease experienced in the non-performing assets to loans ratio (.27% versus .43% a year ago), combined with slower than anticipated loan growth allowed management to decrease the provision for loan losses to $120,000 from the $150,000 reported for March 31, 1998. Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, increased 3.5% over the year ago quarter as trust income and service charges on deposit accounts were up $85,000 and $64,000, respectively. Included in 1998's operating income was a $138,000 gain on the sale of other assets. If this nonrecurring event were excluded, other income would have increased 12.1%. Securities gains, net, for the first quarter of 1999 were $246,000 compared with gains of only $3,000 for the same period a year ago. Non-interest expense was up 12.2%, as anticipated, for the quarter to quarter comparison mainly as a result of ongoing investments in technology and product enhancements to better serve Shoreline's customers. Salary and benefits were up $464,000 due to normal merit increases and the additional 13 staff added to support new and expanded product lines. Occupancy costs, including furniture and equipment, remained basically unchanged from last year's levels while total other expense increased as a result of higher advertising, telephone and goodwill amortization expenses. BALANCE SHEET CHANGES Total interest earning assets at March 31, 1999 were down from year end as interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold decreased a combined $6.8 million. Loans, however, increased $750,000 overall. Total deposits were down $9.2 million primarily from decreases in demand and time deposits. Savings deposits, however, were up from year-end 1998. Borrowings increased $6.0 million in order to help fund loan growth and to allow for investment in various opportunities such as a $5.1 million portfolio of mortgage loans purchased at the end of February. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit withdrawals. Shoreline's liquidity sources consist of securities available for sale, maturing loans and short term investments. Shoreline's liquidity is also supported by is core deposits base. At March 31, 1999, shareholders' equity was $86.0 million compared with the $87.2 million recorded on December 31, 1998. The reasons for the decrease in shareholders' equity were the repurchase of 89,297 shares of common stock at an average price of $25.82, the quarterly dividend paid to all common shareholders on March 15, 1999 and a $797,000 decrease in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale. See the notes to the financial statements earlier in this document for additional information regarding the shares authorized for repurchase. The table below represents Shoreline's consolidated regulatory capital position as of March 31, 1999. Regulatory Minimum Well-Capitalized March 31, 1999 Risk based: Tier 1 capital 4.00% 6.00% 12.13% Total capital 8.00% 10.00% 13.37% Tier 1 leverage 4.00% 5.00% 7.50% 14 YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE SHORELINE'S STATE OF READINESS - Shoreline does not develop or write its own software systems. It utilizes off-the-shelf systems developed by third-party vendors. In addition, it relies on third-party vendors for various hardware and other services in executing daily operations. A total inventory of all third-party systems and services has been prepared. Using this inventory, Shoreline has asked for and received responses from all third-party software, hardware and service providers as to their Year 2000 readiness and an assessment of those responses has been completed. In the majority of cases, Shoreline's vendors have indicated their systems or services to be Year 2000 compliant. Shoreline has successfully completed comprehensive testing on its mainframe software and hardware systems and believes that the favorable responses received from the third-party providers were appropriate. In addition, Shoreline has successfully completed testing of the majority of the other systems management considers critical to its Year 2000 state of readiness. It is anticipated that testing of these systems will be completed during the second quarter of 1999. COSTS - Shoreline incurred expenses throughout 1998 related to this project and continues to incur expenses in 1999. Based on available information, these expenses are not expected to have a materially adverse impact on operating results, financial condition, or liquidity. Significant portions of these expenses are represented by existing staffs that have been redeployed to this project. Estimates of incremental costs for remediation over the remaining period of this project are $250,000. RISKS - Shoreline believes its management has taken, and will continue to take, all prudent actions needed to address Year 2000 issues. In addition, it is acting to comply with directives provided by its regulators with respect to the Year 2000 and has received on-site examinations from its regulators to determine its readiness. While management anticipates successful implementation of its Year 2000 Readiness Plan and believes its current estimates of cost reasonable, it cannot guarantee actual results will not materially differ from those anticipated, as it cannot assure that all third parties upon which Shoreline relies will not have business interruptions due to Year 2000 issues. CONTINGENCY PLANS - Management is in the process of incorporating contingency plans specific and unique to Year 2000 issues into its overall disaster recovery plan. It is anticipated that this comprehensive contingency plan will be completed by the end of the second quarter of 1999. In addition to reviewing its own computer operating systems and applications, Shoreline has initiated formal communications with its 15 significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which Shoreline's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to resolve their Year 2000 issues. There is no assurance that the systems of other companies on which Shoreline's systems rely will be timely converted. If such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have an adverse impact on the operations of Shoreline. The costs of the project and the date on which Shoreline believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause differences include, but are not limited to, the ability of other companies on which Shoreline's systems rely to modify or convert their systems to be Year 2000 compliant, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties. This Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure is based upon and partially repeats information provided by Shoreline's outside consultants, vendors and others regarding the Year 2000 readiness of Shoreline and its customers, vendors and other parties. Although Shoreline believes this information to be accurate, it has not in each case independently verified such information. The Year 2000 statements contained in this report and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Shoreline are "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in Shoreline's Form 10-K Annual Report for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, is incorporated herein by reference Shoreline faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the values of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. Shoreline manages this risk with static GAP analysis and simulation modeling. Throughout the first three months of 1999, the results of these measurement techniques were within Shoreline's policy guidelines. Shoreline does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of Shoreline's primary market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which Shoreline is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to Shoreline. As of the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, Shoreline does not know of or expect there to be any material change in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term. 16 The methods used by Shoreline to manage its primary market risk exposures, as described in the sections of its annual report incorporated herein by reference in response to this item have not changed materially during the current year. As of the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, Shoreline does not expect to change its methods used to manage its market risk exposures in the near term. However, Shoreline may change those methods in the future to adapt to changes in circumstances or to implement new techniques. Shoreline's market risk exposure is mainly comprised of its vulnerability to interest rate risk. Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships in the future will be primarily determined by market factors which are outside of Shoreline's control. All information provided in response to this item consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned "Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of this document for a discussion of the limitations on Shoreline's responsibility for such statements. 17 PART II.
