MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Bancorp") was incorporated
for the purpose of becoming the holding company for The Waldoboro Bank,
F.S.B. (the "Bank") a federally-chartered savings association. The results
of the Company essentially represent the operations of the Bank. The Bank
converted to stock form in 1989, and issued 237,500 shares of common stock at
$8.00 per share. On March 31, 1998 the Bank completed a three-for-one stock
split and on December 31, 1999 the Bank paid a 5% stock dividend. As of
December 31,1999 the Bank had 753,463 shares outstanding.
The Bank had total assets of $76.4 million as of December 31, 1999.
The Bank conducts its business through an office located in Waldoboro, Maine,
where it was originally founded in 1891 as a Maine building and loan
association, and three branches located in Belfast, Jefferson and Rockland,
Maine. The Bank received its federal charter on August 9, 1983 and its
deposits are currently insured up to applicable limits by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Bank considers its primary market area to be located in Waldoboro,
Rockland, Belfast and Jefferson including the surrounding communities in
Waldo, Knox and Lincoln counties, Maine.
The Bank's business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and
profitable community bank dedicated to financing loans secured by residential
and commercial real estate, enabling borrowers to refinance, construct or
improve property. The Bank has implemented this strategy by: (i) closely
monitoring the needs of customers and providing quality service; (ii)
originating residential mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial real
estate loans, consumer loans, and by offering checking accounts and other
financial services and products; (iii) focusing on expanding the volume of
the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial lending activities to serve
the needs of the small business community; and (iv) focusing on expanding the
volume of the Bank's mortgage loan servicing portfolio.
The Company's results of operations reflects the Bank's efforts to
structure its balance sheet to expand its commercial loans, commercial real
estate loans and commercial transactional deposit relationships. From this
strategy, the Bank anticipates that the growth in net interest income and non
interest income will positively impact the results of operations. Waldoboro's
earnings are primarily dependent upon its net interest income, which is
determined by (i) the difference between yields on interest-earning assets
and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (known as the interest rate
spread) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding.
The Bank and the entire financial services industry are significantly
affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and
regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs,
housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number
of factors including interest rates on money market funds and other competing
investments, account maturities and levels of personal income and savings.
Lending activities are influenced by, among other things, the demand for and
supply of housing, conditions in the construction industry and the
availability and cost of funds, and loan refinancing in response to declining
interest rates. Sources of funds for lending activities include deposits,
loan payments, proceeds from sales of loans and investments, investment
returns and borrowings.
Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. is headquartered at 1768 Atlantic Highway in
Waldoboro, Maine, (207) 832-7521. The Company's stock trades on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market under the symbol "MCBN."
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31,1999 and March 31,1999
Total assets increased $5.7 million or 8.0% to $76.4 million at
December 31, 1999 from $70.8 million at March 31, 1999. The growth in assets
is primarily due to an increase in deposits, which were used to fund the
purchase of investments and originate loans.
Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased $4.5 million, or
7.9%, from $56.6 million to $61.1 million at December 31, 1999.
The following table shows loans held for sale and loans at December 31,
1999 and March 31, 1999, the net change and the percentage of change:
December 31, 1999 March 31, 1999 Change % change

Installment, passbook, and other 4,488,299 3,846,995 641,304 16.7
-------------------------------------------------------
Total $61,072,178 $56,608,522 $4,463,656 7.9%
-------------------------------------------------------
Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate residential mortgage loans to be
sold in the secondary market. The growth in other commercial loans and
consumer loans has been primarily a result of the Bank's branch expansion
during 1998, a positive economic climate in the Bank's market area and active
solicitation of the business by the Bank's lending team.
Investments, including Time Deposits, increased $1.8 million to $9.3
million at December 31, 1999. Time Deposits increased $100,000 or 4.8% and
investments available for sale increased $1.7 million or 32.4%. The increase
in the investment portfolio reflects management's decision to maximize the
yield relating to deposit growth which was not currently used to fund loan
growth.
At December 31, 1999, total liabilities increased $5.5 million to $70.9
million. Demand deposits (non-interest bearing deposits) increased $1.2
million or 37.8%, NOW, Savings and Money Market accounts increased $3.8
million or 22.9%, and Certificates of Deposit increased $422,425 or 1.3%. The
$5.4 million growth in deposits for the nine month period and $386,205 growth
for the three month period ended December 31, 1999 reflect the results from
the Bank's branch expansion during 1998 and the favorable economic climate of
the Bank's market area. The increase in transaction accounts (non
Certificates of Deposit) reflects the Bank's successful strategy to expand
it's marketing efforts to attract such deposits.
Total Stockholders' Equity increased $175,533 to $5.5 million at
December 31, 1999. The increase in equity is attributable to net income of
$370,005, for the nine months ended December 31,1999 which is partially
offset by the payment of cash dividends of $142,611 and the decline in
accumulated other comprehensive income of $87,915, due to a decline in market
value of investments available for sale.
Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1999 total loans contractually past
due 90 days or more amounted to $143,131 or 0.25% of loans and $153,566 or
0.25%, respectively. Non-accrual of interest on these loans totaled $7,253
at March 31, 1999 and $2,100 at December 31, 1999. At March 31, 1999, the
Bank had $69,580 of accruing loans, which were 90 days or more delinquent as
compared to $101,710 at December 31, 1999.
The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes
delinquent and in management's opinion is deemed uncollectible in whole or in
part as to principal and/or interest. In these cases, interest on such loans
is recognized only when received. It is the policy of the Bank to generally
place all loans that are 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status,
unless in management's judgment the loan is well secured and in the process
of collection. Management determined that the $101,710 of loans which were 90
days delinquent at December 31, 1999 are well secured and did not deemed it
necessary to place the loans on nonaccrual status.
Total non-performing assets totaled $143,131 or 0.20% of total assets
at March 31, 1999 compared to $153,566 or 0.20% at December 31, 1999.
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $463,794 at December 31, 1999
compared to $404,385 at March 31, 1999. The increase in allowance for loan
losses is primarily due to the current periodic provision for loan losses of
$55,000 and net recoveries of $4,409. The Bank's allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of total loans was 0.76% at December 31, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Net Income
Mid-Coast recorded net income of $127,771 or $0.17 per share (fully
diluted) for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and $370,005 or $0.50
per share (fully diluted) for the nine months ended December 31, 1999. Net
income for the three month period increased $54,093 or 73.4% and for the nine
month period increased $177,398 or 92.1% when compared to the same periods in
1998.
The increase in net income has resulted from increases to total
interest income, relatively level total interest expense, and increases in
fee income, net of increases in the provision for loan losses, non-interest
expense and applicable income taxes. Discussion of all of these components
follows.
These results are attributed to a number of factors including, the
Bank's 1998 branch expansion to Belfast and Jefferson, increased and
consistent marketing efforts and a positive economic climate in Mid- Coast
Maine.
Interest Income
Total interest income amounted to $1,438,323 and $4,171,975 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively. These amounts
represent increases of $103,359 or 7.7% for the three month period and
$243,129 or 6.2% for the nine month period when compared to the same periods
in 1998. The increases in total interest income are attributable to the
growth in interest earning assets.
The following table shows total interest earning assets, and the
percentage of total interest earning assets to total assets at the dates
indicated:
Total interest % of
earning assets total assets
------------------------------
At:
December 31, 1999 $72,565,470 94.9%
September 30, 1999 72,186,155 95.3
June 30, 1999 68,216,254 94.5
March 31, 1999 67,051,798 94.7
December 31, 1998 66,358,855 93.5
The yield on average interest earning assets amounted to 7.88% and 7.85% for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense amounted to $721,727 and $2,119,906 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1999, respectively These amounts
represent an increase of $15,014 or 2.1% for the three month period and a
decrease of $2,596 or 0.1% for the nine month period.
The changes in interest expense have been negatively impacted by an
increasing trend on rates paid on deposits and Advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank and positively impacted by the Bank's emphasis on increasing lower
costing transaction accounts.
The cost of funds (total annualized interest expense as a percentage of
average funding) was 4.08% and 4.15% for the three months and nine months
ended December 31, 1999, respectively.
The following table shows balances of Certificates of deposit,
Transaction deposit accounts (Demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings
accounts, and money market accounts) and Advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank and their respective percentage to total funding at the dates indicated:

Net Interest Income
As a result of increases in total interest income and relatively level
total interest expense, net interest income increased $88,345 or 14.1% for
the three month period and increased $245,725 or 13.6% for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1999, respectively, when compared to the same
periods in 1998.Net interest margin (annualized net interest income as a
percentage of average earning assets) was 3.93% and 3.86% for the three
months and nine months ended December 31, 1999.
When compared to the prior quarter, net interest income increased
$31,586 or 4.6%. This increase is primarily due to an increase in total
interest income created by the increase in volume of interest earning assets
and increases in interest rates used as indices for the Bank's adjustable
rate portfolio.
Changes in net interest income occur from volume changes in interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the mix of these components,
and changes in interest rates. Loans, the primary component of interest
earning assets, are comprised of products having fixed rates of interest over
the life of the loan and variable rates of interest that change periodically
as changes in the prime lending rate and other indices change. As of December
31, 1999, approximately $40.8 million or 67.0% of total loans had adjustable
rates of interest.
As of December 31, 1999 the weighted average interest rate of the
Bank's adjustable rate loan portfolio was 8.45% and the fixed rate loan
portfolio was 8.24%.
Provisions for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for
loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan
portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous
factors including general economic conditions, loan portfolio compositions,
prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral
and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan
loss allowance. The Bank's provision for loan losses amounted to $18,000 and
$55,000 for the three-month and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999,
respectively, compared to $18,000 and $49,000 for the same periods in 1998.
Non Interest Income
Total non-interest income increased $10,769 or 9.7% for the three month
period and increased $39,866 or 12.5% for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999, when compared to the same periods in 1998. These increases
are primarily attributable to the growth in transaction deposit account fees
and the growth in loan servicing fees offset by decreases in gain on sale of
loans due to reduced volume of origination and sale of loans held for sale.
When compared to the prior quarter, non-interest income decreased $537
as the increase in transaction deposit account fees was offset by a decrease
in miscellaneous income.
As of December 31, 1999, loans serviced for others amounted to $12.5
million, compared to $11.7 million at March 31, 1999 and $10.7 million at
December 31, 1998.
Non Interest Expenses
Total non-interest expenses increased $15,891 or 2.6% for the three
month period and increased $21,961 or 1.2% for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1998.
These increases are the net effect of increases in compensation related
expenses (including benefits) associated with the increase in staff related
to the 1998 branch expansion and the growth in lending personnel to implement
the Bank's strategy to increase its commercial loan and deposit business,
decreases in marketing and other promotional expenses related to the branch
expansion and increases in other expenses related to the overall growth in
business.
When compared to the prior quarter, total non-interest expenses
increased $13,596 or 2.2% primarily due to a $40,000 increase in Professional
fees & stockholder services associated with corporate planning.
Asset/Liability Management
Like many other financial institutions, the Bank's most significant
form of market risk is interest rate risk. The Bank is subject to interest
rate risk to the degree that the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities,
primarily deposits with short and medium-term maturities, mature or reprice
at different rates than the Bank's interest-earning assets. The Bank
believes it is critical to manage the relationship between interest rates and
the effect on the Bank's net portfolio value ("NPV"). This approach
calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows
from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as
well as cash flows from off-balance sheet contracts. The Bank manages assets
and liabilities within the context of the marketplace, regulatory limitations
and within limits established by the Bank's Board of Directors on the amount
of change in NPV which is acceptable given certain interest rate changes.
An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time
period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Bank's
assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than the Bank's
liabilities, the Bank's net portfolio value and net interest income would
tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during
periods of falling interest rates. Conversely, if the Bank's assets mature
or reprice more slowly or to a lessor extent than the Bank's liabilities, the
Bank's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease
during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of
falling interest rates. The Bank's policy has been to mitigate the interest
rate risk inherent in the historical savings institution business of
originating long-term loans funded by short-term deposits by pursuing certain
strategies designed to decrease the vulnerability of the Bank's earnings to
material and prolonged changes in interest rates. In this regard, the Bank's
attempts to minimize interest rate risk by, among other things, emphasizing
the origination and retention of adjustable-rate loans and loans with shorter
maturities and the sale of long-term one-to-four family fixed-rate loans in
the secondary market.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 31, 1999, the Holding Company's stockholders' equity was
$5,549,153 or 7.26% of total assets compared to $5,373,620 or 7.59% at March
31, 1999.
The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") requires savings institutions
such as Waldoboro to maintain a specified ratio of cash and short-term
investment securities to new withdrawal deposits and borrowings with
maturities of one year or less. This minimum OTS required liquidity ratio is
currently 4%. This rate may vary from time to time, depending upon general
economic conditions and deposit flows. As a part of its asset/liability
management program, Waldoboro has historically maintained liquidity in excess
of regulatory requirements to better match its short-term liabilities. At
December 31, 1999, Waldoboro's liquid assets amounted to $8,148,967,
resulting in a liquidity ratio of 14.31%, compared to 15.57% at December 31,
1998. Historically, the Bank maintains a liquidity ratio of approximately
15%.
The minimum capital standards set by the OTS have three components: (1)
tangible capital; (2) leverage ratio or "core" capital; and (3) risk-based
capital. The tangible capital requirement is 1.5% and the leverage ratio or
"core" capital requirement is 3% of an institution's adjusted total assets.
The risk-based capital requirement is 8% of risk-weighted assets. The
institution is also subject to the capital requirements outlined under the
FDIC Improvement Act that requires Tier 1 (Core) Capital of 4.0%. The amount
of an institution's risk-weighted assets is determined by assigning a "risk-
weighted" value to each of the institution's assets. Under the regulations,
the "risk-weighting" of a particular type of asset depends upon the degree of
credit risk that is deemed to be associated with that type of asset.
At December 31, 1999, Waldoboro had tangible capital of $5,519,000 or
7.18% of adjusted total assets, which exceeds the minimum required tangible
capital and leverage ratio or "core" capital requirements. Waldoboro had
risk-based capital of $5,983,000 or 13.08% of risk-weighted assets at
December 31, 1999.
Year 2000
The Holding Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to
identify the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has
developed a plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 issue is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define
the applicable year. Any of the Holding Company's programs that have time-
sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations.
The Holding Company presently believes that because of the conversion
to new software in fiscal 1997, the year 2000 problem will not pose
significant operational problems for the Holding Company's and the Bank's
computer systems. Also, the Bank's loan portfolio is not significantly
concentrated with any single borrower (at December 31, 1999, the largest
commercial loan relationship approximated $709,000) and consists largely of
loans secured by real estate. These factors help mitigate year 2000 risks
pertaining to the valuation of the loan portfolio. The Bank has contacted
its significant loan customers regarding their Year 2000 efforts and
believes, based on the information provided, that its significant loan
customers are compliant. To date the Bank has spent approximately $27,000 on
the Year 2000 issue primarily due to the purchase of computer hardware,
related installation cost and overtime for key employees.
To date the Company has not experienced any problems related to the
change over to the year 2000, nor have any problems been identified with
customers, vendors or suppliers.
Financial Services Modernization Bill
Landmark financial services legislation, titled the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act was signed into law by President Clinton on November 12, 1999. The
legislation modernizes the financial services industry by establishing a
comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks,
insurance companies and other financial service providers. Generally, the
legislation (i) repeals the historical restrictions and eliminate many
federal and state law barriers to affiliations among banks and securities
firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers, (ii)
provides a uniform framework for the activities of banks, savings
institutions and their holding companies, (iii) broadens the activities that
may be conducted by national banks, banking subsidiaries of bank holding
companies and their financial subsidiaries, (iv) provides an enhanced
framework for protecting the privacy of consumers' information, (v) adopts a
number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate
governance and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan
Bank system, (vi) modifies the laws governing the implementation of the
Community Reinvestment Act and (vii) addresses a variety of other legal and
regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term
activities of financial institutions, including the functional regulation of
securities and insurance activities conducted in a financial holding
company.
In particular, the legislation restricts certain of the powers that
unitary savings and loan holding companies currently have. Unitary savings
and loan holding companies that are "grandfathered," i.e., became a unitary
savings and loan holding company pursuant to an application filed with the
OTS before May 4, 1999, (such as the Company) retain their authority under
current law. All other savings and loan holding companies are limited to
financially related activities permissible for bank holding companies, as
defined under the new law. The legislation also prohibits non-financial
companies from acquiring savings and loan holding companies.
Bank holding companies are permitted to engage in a wider variety of
financial activities, particularly with respect to insurance and securities
activities. In addition, in a change from current law, bank holding
companies may be owned, controlled or acquired by any company engaged in
financially related activities.
We do not believe that the legislation will have a material adverse
effect on our operations in the near term. However, to the extent the
legislation permits banks, securities firms and insurance companies to
affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further
consolidation. This could result in a growing number of larger financial
institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than we
currently offer and that can aggressively compete in the markets we
currently serve.
