ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements include, however, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals), which in the opinion of management, are considered
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations for the periods shown.
On March 27, 1998, Midwest Federal Financial Corp. (Midwest) merged into the
company. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests, however,
the size of the transaction was not material to the Company's consolidated
financial statements. Therefore, results previous to the date of acquisition
were not restated. On February 17, 1998, Investors Management Group, LTD (IMG)
was acquired by the Company. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase.
The results of IMG's operations have been included in the Company's operating
results since February 17, 1998.
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form
10-K Annual Report of AMCORE Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company")
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding. The weighted average common shares
outstanding were 28,252,000 and 29,047,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, and 28,363,000 and 28,078,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution using the treasury stock method that could occur if stock
options granted pursuant to incentive stock plans were exercised or converted
into common stock, and any shares contingently issuable, that then shared in the
earnings of the Company. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding were
28,659,000 and 29,635,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and 28,800,000 and 28,608,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 6-SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's operations include three business segments: Banking, Trust and
Asset Management, and Mortgage Banking. The Banking segment provides commercial
and personal banking services through its 66 banking locations in northern
Illinois and south-central Wisconsin, and the Consumer Finance subsidiary. The
services provided by this segment include lending, deposits, cash management,
safe deposit box rental, automated teller machines, and other traditional
banking services. The Trust and Asset Management segment provides trust,
investment management and brokerage services. It also acts as an advisor and
provides fund administration to the Vintage Mutual Fund family and offers a
complete line of commercial and individual insurance products. These products
are distributed nationally (i.e. Vintage Equity Fund is available through
Charles Schwab), regionally to institutional investors and corporations, and
locally through AMCORE's 66 banking locations. The Mortgage Banking segment
originates residential mortgage loans for sale to the secondary market and
AMCORE's banking affiliates, as well as providing servicing of these mortgage
loans.
The Company's three reportable segments are strategic business units that are
separately managed as they offer different products and services. The Company
evaluates financial performance based on several factors, of which the primary
financial measure is segment profit before remittances to the banking
affiliates. The Company accounts for intersegment revenue, expenses and
transfers at current market prices.

AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis focuses on the significant factors which
affected AMCORE Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries ("AMCORE") Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of June 30, 1999 as compared to December 31, 1998 and the results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
same periods in 1998. This discussion is intended to be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this report.
This review contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the results
of operations and businesses of AMCORE. Contemplated or projected, forecasted or
estimated results in such forward-looking statements involve certain risks and
uncertainties including, among others, the following possibilities: (I)
heightened competition, including specifically the intensification of price
competition, the entry of new competitors and the formation of new products by
new and existing competitors; (II) adverse state and federal legislation and
regulation; (III) failure to obtain new customers and retain existing customers;
(IV) inability to carry out marketing and/or expansion plans; (V) loss of key
executives; (VI) changes in interest rates including the effect of prepayment;
(VII) general economic and business conditions which are less favorable than
expected; (VIII) unanticipated changes in industry trends; (IX) changes in
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies; (X) inability to realize cost savings
anticipated with the new organizational structure, mergers or data processing
outsourcing; (XI) higher than expected costs or other difficulties associated
with merger integration, data processing conversion or year 2000 compliance
solutions; and (XII) changes in the final organizational structure.
OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS
AMCORE's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $7.1 million, a
decrease of 36.6% from the $11.2 million in the 1998 comparable period. The
decrease was caused primarily by $3.8 million of after-tax charges related to
the new organizational structure (the "Restructuring Charge") taken in the
second quarter of 1999. Excluding these charges, second quarter 1999 net income
would have been $10.9 million, a decrease of 3.1% from the same period in 1998.
The earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $17.2 million, a
decrease of $173,000 or 1.0% from the $17.3 million reported in 1998. Net income
from operations, which excludes the $3.8 million Restructuring Charge in the
second quarter of 1999 and $3.3 million of after-tax merger-related charges (the
"Merger Charge") in the first quarter of 1998, was $20.9 million and $20.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This
represents an increase of $287,000 or 1.4% in net income from operations, when
comparing the first six months of 1999 and 1998.
12
Diluted earnings per share were $0.25 and $0.60 for the three and six-month
periods, respectively, ended June 30, 1999. Diluted earnings per share from
operations was $0.38 for both the second quarter of 1999 and 1998. Diluted
earnings per share from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 were $0.73 and $0.72, respectively, an increase of 1.4%.
Excluding the Restructuring Charge, AMCORE's annualized return on average equity
was 13.92% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to 14.21% for the same period
in 1998. The second quarter return on average assets, excluding the
Restructuring Charge, was 1.04% in 1999 versus 1.11% in 1998.
Net interest income and non-interest income for the second quarter of 1999
increased 4.6% and 8.5%, respectively, over the same period a year ago. A
variety of factors contributed to the increase in net interest income. Average
loans increased 16%, leading to an increase in average earning assets of 3.4%.
In addition, net interest margin improved by 3 basis points to 3.53 percent,
primarily the result of lower average rates on interest-bearing liabilities.
Non-interest income growth was mainly the result of a 29% increase in trust and
asset management revenues, primarily driven by favorable investment performance
and strong sales results.
The improvements in net interest income and non-interest income were offset by
increased provision for loan losses as a result of the loan growth, higher data
processing expenses and investment related expenditures.
On March 31, 1999, AMCORE acquired Wellmark Capital Value, Inc. ("WCV") of Des
Moines, Iowa for $50,000 in cash. An additional $174,000 may be paid over the
next two years, contingent upon the level of customer assets under management.
WCV provides complete recordkeeping and other administrative services to 401(k)
and other tax-qualified retirement plans. The acquisition of WCV will enable
AMCORE to bring plan administration services in-house where it can enhance its
recordkeeping ability and strengthen the relationship with plan sponsors. The
transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
On April 27, 1999, AMCORE announced a new "Customer Focused Organizational
Structure" that is expected to improve efficiency, enhance responsiveness to
local markets and increase shareholder value. The new structure will increase
the ability of bank presidents, directors and salespeople to focus on serving
customers and their communities by centralizing or regionalizing certain support
functions. To accomplish this, AMCORE will operate under one charter, while
still preserving its super community banking philosophy. AMCORE expects to have
its new organizational structure in place in the fourth quarter of 1999. The
Restructuring Charge is estimated at $6.4 million pre-tax, of which $6.1 million
was accrued or incurred in the second quarter of 1999. The largest components of
the Restructuring Charge are related to employee severance, professional fees,
and other costs to to combine the bank subsidiaries into one bank and to
integrate their systems. Of the $6.1 million Restructuring Charge included in
the second quarter results of operation, $808,000
13
was incurred or paid during the second quarter of 1999.
AMCORE's subsidiary banks continue to be "well capitalized" as defined by
regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 1999, AMCORE'S total capital to risk weighted
assets was 12.85%, which is in excess of regulatory requirements.
YEAR 2000
A critical issue has emerged in the banking industry and for the economy overall
regarding how existing application software programs, operating systems and
other systems can accommodate the date value for the year 2000. The year 2000
issue is pervasive, as almost all date-sensitive systems will be affected to
some degree by the rollover to the two-digit year from 99 to 00. Potential risks
of not addressing this issue include business interruption, financial loss,
reputation loss and/or legal liability.
AMCORE has undertaken an enterprise-wide initiative to address the Year 2000
issue. The company has established a project team that reports directly to the
Board of Directors and has developed a comprehensive plan to prepare, as
appropriate, its computer and other systems to recognize the date change on
January 1, 2000. An assessment of the readiness of third parties that AMCORE
interfaces with, such as vendors, counterparties, customers, payment systems,
and others, is ongoing to mitigate potential risks that Year 2000 poses. In
addition, AMCORE is assessing the readiness of companies that have borrowed from
AMCORE's subsidiaries to insure that incremental Year 2000-related credit risks
are addressed. AMCORE's objective is to try to insure that all aspects of the
Year 2000 issue, including those related to efforts of third parties, will be
fully resolved in time. However, it is not possible to be sure that all aspects
of the Year 2000 issue which may affect AMCORE, including those related to the
effects of customers, suppliers, or other third parties with whom we conduct
business, will not have a material impact on AMCORE's results of operation or
financial condition. AMCORE has consistently maintained contingency plans for
mission critical systems and business processes to protect assets against
unplanned events that would prevent normal operations. The millennium changeover
presents unique risks, some of which may not be effectively addressed by the
existing plans. AMCORE is examining these risks and developing additional plans
to mitigate the effect of potential impacts and insure continuity of operations
throughout the Year 2000 and beyond.
The outsourcing of the core mainframe system to ALLTEL during 1998 addresses the
primary operating systems of AMCORE. The testing of all mission critical systems
was substantially completed as of March 31, 1999. All Year 2000-specific
contingency plans were substantially completed by June 30, 1999 with related
testing to continue throughout the year. At this point, the costs associated
with the Year 2000 issue during 1998 and 1999 are estimated at approximately
$2.3 million, of which $1.3 million is for replacement hardware and software.
These items are not anticipated to have a material impact on future results of
operations. Through June 30, 1999, $2.2 million of the $2.3 million total
estimated costs have been incurred or paid since the inception of the project.

EARNINGS REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
AMCORE's internal reporting and planning process has identified three business
segments: Banking, Trust and Asset Management, and Mortgage Banking.
The financial results of each segment are presented as if operated on a
stand-alone basis. There are no comprehensive authorities for management
accounting equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore,
the information provided is not necessarily comparable with similar information
from other financial institutions. Additionally, methodologies may change from
time to time as the process is enhanced.
BANKING SEGMENT
The Banking segment provides commercial and personal banking services through
its 66 banking locations in northern Illinois and south-central Wisconsin, and
the Consumer Finance subsidiary. The services provided by this segment include
lending, deposits, cash management, automated teller machines, and other
traditional banking services.
The Banking segment's operating profit for the second quarter of 1999 was $10.4
million before the Restructuring Charge, a decrease of $940,000 from the same
period in 1998. While 1999's second quarter net-interest income increased over
the same period in 1998, it was more than offset by a reduction in non-interest
income, increased loan loss provisions and higher operating expenses.
Net interest income improved by $871,000 net of tax, primarily the result of a
3.4% increase in average earning assets and a 3 basis point improvement in the
interest rate spread. The growth in average earning assets can be attributed to
strong loan growth offset by decreased levels of investment securities related
to the winding down of the investment leveraging program. Average loans
increased $346.5 million or 15.7% when comparing the second quarters of 1999 and
1998. Investment securities decreased $222.2 million on average, or 14.0%
quarter-to-quarter.
Non-interest income decreased by $988,000 net of tax. The decrease is primarily
the result of lower loan and lease sales and less security gains in the second
quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998. In addition, 1998
included mortgage revenues related to the pre-aquisition mortgage operations of
the Wisconsin banks. These portfolios have since been integrated into and are
now managed by the Mortgage Segment.
The provision for loan and lease losses increased $305,000 net of tax from the
second quarter of 1999 over the same period in 1998. The increase in provision
relates to the growth in total loans noted above. Operating expenses increased
$351,000 net of tax quarter-to-quarter. In addition to normal increases, the
increase includes costs to upgrade AMCORE's internal network, the development of
an on-line banking product and Year 2000 expenditures previously mentioned.
15
The Banking segment represented 82.9% and 88.0% of total segment profit before
the Restructuring Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Year-to-date, the Banking segment represented 83.6% and 88.0% of total segment
profit before the Restructuring Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and the
Merger Charge in the first quarter of 1998.
TRUST AND ASSET MANAGEMENT SEGMENT
The Trust and Asset Management segment provides trust, investment management and
brokerage services. It also acts as an advisor to and provides fund
administration to the Vintage Mutual Funds and offers a complete line of
commercial and individual insurance products. These products are distributed
nationally ( i.e. Vintage Equity Fund is available through Charles Schwab
OneSource(TM)), regionally to institutional investors and corporations, and
locally through AMCORE's 66 banking locations.
The Trust and Asset Management segment's profit increased $656,000 to $1.7
million in the second quarter of 1999. The increase is primarily attributable to
strong sales efforts and favorable investment performance. These increases are
partially offset by the expansion of the trust and asset management staff
resulting from the growth of the segment, which includes a new program to
provide asset management services to high net worth individuals (the "Private
Client Group") and the WCV acquisition previously mentioned.
As of June 30, 1999, trust assets under management total $4.4 billion, including
nearly $1.4 billion related to the Vintage Mutual Fund family.
The Trust and Asset Management segment represented 13.9% and 8.4% of total
segment profit before the Restructuring Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and
1998, respectively. Year-to-date, the Trust and Asset Management segment
represented 11.8% and 8.8% of total segment profit before the Restructuring
Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and the Merger Charge in the first quarter
of 1998.
MORTGAGE BANKING SEGMENT
The Mortgage Banking segment originates residential mortgage loans for sale to
AMCORE'S banking affiliates and the secondary market, and provides servicing of
these mortgage loans.
The Mortgage Banking segment's profit for the second quarter of 1999 was
$400,000, a decrease of $63,000 from the same period a year ago. The decrease
relates mainly to a decline in originations to $70.1 million compared to the
$107.9 million in the second quarter of 1998. The decrease was largely offset by
the previously mentioned transfer of the pre-aquisition related mortgage
operations from the Wisconsin banks to the mortgage segment.
The Mortgage Banking segment represented 3.2% and 3.6% of total segment profit
before the Restructuring Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Year-to-
16
date, the Mortgage Banking segment represented 4.6% and 3.3% of total segment
profit before the Restructuring Charge in the second quarter of 1999 and the
Merger Charge in the first quarter of 1998.
CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS ANALYSIS
The analysis below discusses by major components the changes in net income when
comparing the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest earning
assets and the interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The
interest income on certain loans and municipal securities is not subject to
federal income tax. For analytical purposes, the interest income and rates on
these types of assets are adjusted to a "fully taxable equivalent" basis. The
fully taxable equivalent adjustment was calculated using the statutory federal
income tax rate of 35%. Adjusted interest income is presented on the following
table (in thousands):

--------------------------------------------------------
Net Interest Income Taxable Equivalent Basis
$35,205 $33,762 $69,499 $65,173
========================================================
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $1.4 million
or 4.3% during the second quarter of 1999 over the same period in 1998. The
improvement in net interest income results mainly from a 3.4% increase in
average earning assets and a 3 basis point improvement in the interest rate
margin.
The growth in average earning assets can be attributed to strong loan growth
offset by decreased levels of investment securities related to the winding down
of the investment leveraging program. Average loans increased $346.5 million or
15.7% when comparing the second quarters of 1999 and 1998. Investment securities
decreased $222.2 million on average, or 14.0% quarter-to-quarter.
The net interest spread is the difference between the average rates on
interest-earning
17
assets and the average rates on interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate
margin represents net interest income divided by average earning assets. These
ratios can also be used to analyze net interest income. Since a significant
portion of the Company's funding is derived from interest-free sources,
primarily demand deposits and stockholders' equity, the effective rate paid for
all funding sources is lower than the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
alone.
As the table below indicates, the interest rate spread increased 7 basis points
to 2.93% in the second quarter of 1999 when compared to the 2.86% during the
same period in 1998. The net interest margin was 3.53% during the second quarter
of 1999, an increase of 3 basis points from the comparable period in 1998.

The level of net interest income is the result of the relationship between total
volume and mix of interest-earning assets and the rates earned, and the total
volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities and the rates paid. The rate and
volume components associated with interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities are segregated in the table above to analyze the changes in net
interest income. Because of changes in the mix of the components of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the computations for
each of the components do not equal the calculation for interest-earning assets
as a total and interest-bearing liabilities as a total.
The table below presents an analysis of the changes in net interest income for
the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998.

The above table shows the changes in interest income (tax equivalent) and
interest expense attributable to volume and rate variances. The change in
interest income (tax equivalent) due to both volume and rate has been allocated
to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute
dollar amounts of the change in each.
1. The interest on tax-exempt investment securities and tax-exempt loans is
calculated on a tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 35%.
2. The average balance of the investments are based on amortized historical
cost.
3. The yield-related fees recognized from the origination of mortgage loans held

4. The balances of non-accrual loans are included in average loans outstanding.
Interest on loans includes yield-related loan fees.
The increase in net interest income, when comparing the second quarter of 1999
to the second quarter of 1998, is mainly due to a favorable change in average
volume. Average loans increased 15.7% while average investment securities
decreased 14.0%. The net
20
effect was a 3.4% increase in earning assets. This increase was partially offset
by a 3.3% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities needed to fund the
growth in earning assets.
There was also a small increase in net interest income due to changes in average
interest rates. While the yield on interest-earning assets decreased 33 basis
points, this was more than offset by a 40 basis point decrease on total average
interest-bearing liabilities. The decreased funding costs were the result of a
shift from higher cost borrowings to lower cost deposits, coupled with lower
average interest rates on deposits. The decreased reliance on higher cost
borrowings is the result of the winding down of the leverage program, while the
lower rates on deposits is the result of overall market conditions and declining
interest rates when comparing the second quarter of 1999 with the second quarter
of 1998.

the first six months of 1999 compared to the first six months of 1998.

The increase in net interest income, when comparing the first six months of 1999
to the first six months of 1998, is due to a favorable change in average volume.
Average loans increased 20.5% while average investment securities decreased
10.0%. The net effect was a 7.7% increase in earning assets. This increase was
partially offset by a 7.7% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities
needed to fund the growth in earning assets.
The volume increase was partially offset by a decrease in net interest income
due to changes in average interest rates. The yield on both interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities decreased 38 basis points. Both
decreases are the result of overall market conditions and declining interest
rates when comparing the first six months of 1999 with the first six months of
1998.
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
Management determines an appropriate provision for loan losses based upon its
regular evaluation of individual loans and groups of loans, historical loss
experience, and the size and nature of the loan portfolios. Other factors
include the current economic and industry environment, concentration
characteristics of the loan portfolio and the composition and underlying
collateral of problem loans.
The provision for loan and lease losses was $2.2 million during the second
quarter of 1999 an increase of $509,000 or 31.0% from the same period in 1998.
The increase in provision relates to a growth in total loans and a higher level
of charge-offs.
Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 0.38% in the second quarter of
1999 versus 0.14% in 1998. The increase is primarily related to the partial
charge-off in the amount of $1.2 million of an agricultural credit in the second
quarter of 1999.
The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 1999 was $4.4 million,
an increase of $590,000 or 15.6% from the same period in 1998. The increase in
provision relates to a growth in total loans and a higher level of charge-offs.
The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.07%, 1.09% and
1.08% at June 30, 1999 and 1998 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Total non-interest income was $15.1 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $1.2 million or 8.5% from the same period in 1998. On a year-to-date
basis, the increase in non-interest income is $2.0 million or 7.4%.
Trust and asset management income increased 28.6% or $1.7 million to total $7.7
million for the second quarter of 1999 versus the same period in 1998. The
increase is primarily
22
attributable to strong sales efforts and favorable investment performance. Total
managed assets, which includes fee-based accounts and Vintage Fund balances,
rose 2.5% during the quarter and at June 30, 1999 stands at $4.4 billion.
Service charges on deposits increased $223,000 or 10.2% from the second quarter
of 1998 to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 1999.
Mortgage revenues declined $480,000 or 19.7% from the second quarter of 1998 to
$2.0 million for the second quarter of 1999. The decrease relates mainly to a
decline in originations to $70.1 million compared to the $107.9 million in the
second quarter of 1998.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expense totaled $36.5 million during the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $8.6 million or 30.6% from the same period in 1998. The second
quarter of 1999 included a $6.1 million pre-tax Restructuring Charge previously
mentioned. Excluding the Restructuring Charge, operating expenses increased $2.5
million or 8.8%. This increase is primarily related to increased compensation,
equipment and data processing expenses.
Excluding the Restructuring Charge, the efficiency ratio for the second quarter
of 1999 was 60.5% compared to 58.6% for the second quarter of 1998. The increase
was the result of core operating expenses increasing 8.8% while revenues
increased 5.8%. Year-to-date, excluding the Restructuring Charge in the second
quarter of 1999 and the Merger Charge in the first quarter of 1998, the
efficiency ratio increased to 60.8% from 60.2%. The increase was the result of
core operating expenses increasing 8.0% while revenues increased 7.2%.
Excluding $2.2 million in severance and other personnel costs included in the
Restructuring Charge, salaries and wages increased $988,000 or 7.7% when
comparing the second quarter of 1999 with the same period in 1998. The increase
relates primarily to annual merit increases and the expansion of the trust and
asset management segment associated with the formation of the Private Client
Group and the WCV acquisition previously mentioned.
Equipment expense was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 1999 and represents
an increase of $485,000 or 24.5% from the same period in 1998. Excluding $1.3
million of systems integration costs included in the Restructuring Charge, data
processing expense increased $1.1 million when comparing the second quarter of
1999 with the same period in 1998. These increases primarily relate to the
upgrade of AMCORE's internal LAN-based reporting systems, the development of an
on-line banking product, outsourcing the core mainframe system to ALLTEL
including post-conversion programming and Year 2000 expenditures previously
mentioned.
Professional fees increased $1.6 million quarter-to-quarter. The increase
primarily relates to legal and consulting expenses included in the Restructuring
Charge.
23
Other operating expenses increased $844,000 quarter-to-quarter. The increase
relates to outplacement, customer communications and other miscellaneous costs
included in the Restructuring Charge.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1999 decreased $2.3 million from
the second quarter of 1998 to $2.0 million. The decrease is primarily the tax
benefit associated with the Restructuring Charge. The second quarter of 1999
effective tax rate of 28.3%, after adjusting for the Restructuring Charge,
compares to a 27.7% effective tax rate for the same period in 1998. This
increase in effective tax rate is largely the result of higher state income
taxes.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis regarding market risk was
disclosed in the Company's December 31, 1998 Form 10K. There have been no
material changes in the assumptions used or results obtained regarding market
risk.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets were $4.2 billion at June 30, 1999, an increase of $60.5 million or
1.5% from December 31, 1998. Total earning assets increased $77.3 million from
December 31, 1998. This increase was funded by a $100.8 million increase in
borrowings, which also offset a $23.1 million decrease in deposits.
ASSET QUALITY REVIEW
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The allowance for loan and lease losses was $27.6 million at June 30,1999, an
increase of $1.2 million from December 31, 1998. The allowance represented 1.07%
of total loans and 154.5% of non-performing loans at June 30, 1999. The
comparable ratios were 1.08% and 145.2% at December 31, 1998.
Net charge-offs were $2.4 million during the second quarter of 1999 versus
$800,000 for the same quarter of 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 net charge-offs were $3.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The
increase of $1.6 million for the second quarter and $1.9 million for the six
month period relate primarily to the partial charge-off in the amount of $1.2
million of an agricultural credit in the second quarter of 1999. The remaining
balance of the agricultural credit is classifed as non-performing.
