MITCHELL BANCORP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Mitchell Bancorp, Inc.
----------------------
Mitchell Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of North Carolina for the purpose of becoming the savings and
loan holding company of Mitchell Savings Bank, SSB (the "Savings Bank") in
connection with the Savings Bank's conversion from a state chartered mutual
savings bank to a state chartered stock savings bank (the "Conversion"),
pursuant to its Plan of Conversion. The Company commenced on May 8, 1996, a
Subscription Offering of its shares in connection with the Conversion. On
July 12, 1996, the Conversion was completed (see Note 4). The financial
statements of the Savings Bank are presented on a consolidated basis with
those of the Company.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are for the Company,
the Savings Bank and the Savings Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Mitchell
Mortgage and Investment Co.(MMI). The impact of MMI on the consolidated
financial statements is insignificant. MMI has no operating activity other
than to own stock in the third-party service bureau.
2. Basis of Preparation
--------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared
in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore, do not
include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the
consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income,
consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, and consolidated
statements of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The statement of income for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996 is not necessarily indicative of the results which
may be expected for the entire year.
It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and note
thereto for the Company for the year ended June 30, 1996.
3. Earnings Per Share
------------------
Earnings per share amounts for the three and six month periods ended
December 31, 1996 are based on the average number of shares outstanding
throughout the periods, except that the initial issue has been given an
effective date of June 30, 1996. No comparative amounts have
7
MITCHELL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, Continued
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
been presented for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995
because no shares were outstanding during that period. Unallocated ESOP
shares are not considered as outstanding for purposes of this calculation.
4. Stockholders' Equity
--------------------
In connection with the Conversion, which was consummated on July 12, 1996,
the Company issued and sold 979,897 shares of common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share for total net proceeds of approximately $9.2 million after
conversion expenses of approximately $585,000. The Company retained
one-half of the net proceeds and used the remaining net proceeds to
purchase the newly issued capital stock of the Savings Bank. The net
conversion proceeds of approximately $9.2 million and over-subscription
proceeds of approximately $523,000 were held in withdrawable accounts at
the Savings Bank at June 30, 1996. Since the conversion was essentially
consummated prior July 12, 1996, the conversion has been accounted for as
being effective as of June 30, 1996, with the net conversion offering
proceeds of approximately $9.2 million shown on the statements of
stockholders' equity as proceeds from the sale of common stock and stock
oversubscription proceeds of approximately $523,000 recorded as a
liability. The oversubscription proceeds were refunded, with accrued
interest, by July 12, 1996.
On January 29, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the Company's
Stock Option Plan and Management Recognition Plan at the Company's annual
meeting. Shares issued to directors and employees under these plans may be
from authorized but unissued shares of common stock or they may be
purchased in the open market. In the event that options or shares are
issued under these plans such issuances will be included in the earnings
per share calculation, thus, the interests of existing stockholders would
be diluted.
The Savings Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect
thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below either the amounts
required for the liquidation account discussed below or the regulatory
capital requirements imposed by federal and state regulations.
At the time of conversion, the Savings Bank established a liquidation
account in an amount equal to its retained income as reflected in the
latest consolidated balance sheet used in the final conversion prospectus.
The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account
holders who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the Savings Bank
after conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Savings
Bank (and only in such an event), eligible depositors who continue to
maintain accounts shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the
liquidation account before any liquidation may be made with respect to the
Company's common stock.

MITCHELL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, Continued
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
------------------------------------
As part of the conversion discussed in Note 4, an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) was established for all employees who have attained the age of
21 and have been credited with at least 500 hours of service during a
12-month period. The ESOP borrowed approximately $784,000 from the Company
and used the funds to purchase 78,391 shares of common stock of the Company
issued in the conversion. The loan will be repaid principally from the
Company's discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of 15
years. On December 31, 1996, the loan had an outstanding balance of
approximately $770,000 and an interest rate of 8.25%. The loan obligation
of the ESOP is considered unearned compensation and, as such, recorded as a
reduction of the Company's stockholders' equity. Both the loan obligation
and the unearned compensation are reduced by an amount of the loan
repayments made by the ESOP. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are
held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is
repaid. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense
account are allocated among participants on the basis of compensation in
the year of allocation. Benefits become fully vested at the end of seven
years of service under the terms of the ESOP Plan. Benefits may be payable
upon retirement, death, disability, or separation from service. Since the
Company's annual contributions are discretionary, benefits payable under
the ESOP cannot be estimated. Compensation expenses are recognized to the
extent of the fair value of shares committed to be released.
For the three and six months ending December 31, 1996, compensation from
the ESOP of approximately $17,000 and $32,000, respectively, was expensed.
Compensation is recognized at the average fair value of the ratably
released shares during the accounting period as the employees performed
services. At December 31, 1996, the ESOP had approximately 2,600 allocated
shares and 75,791 unallocated shares.
The ESOP administrators will determine whether dividends on allocated and
unallocated shares will be used for debt service. Any allocated dividends
used will be replaced with common stock of equal value. For the purpose of
computing earnings per share, all ESOP shares committed to be released
have been considered outstanding.
6. Deposit Insurance Assessment
----------------------------
The special SAIF assessment for deposit insurance premiums of
approximately $137,000 has been reflected in operations for the six months
ending December 31, 1996 with an after tax impact on net income of
approximately $85,000. The FDIC collected the assessment in late November
and effective January 1, 1997 the Company began paying reduced premium
assessments in accordance with the BIF/SAIF legislation.
9
MITCHELL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, Continued
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Tax Bad Debt Reserves
---------------------
With the repeal of the reserve method of accounting for thrift bad debt
reserves for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995, the Company will
have to recapture its post-1987 excess reserves over a six-year period. The
amount of the post-1987 excess is approximately $55,000. The tax effect of
this excess had been previously recorded as deferred income taxes and,
therefore, will have no impact on income when recaptured.
8. Asset Quality
-------------
At December 31, 1996, the Company had total nonperforming loans and real
estate owned of approximately $796,000. Of the $696,000 of nonperforming
loans, 68% or $475,000 were the result of loan customers in Chapter 13
bankruptcy. As a percentage of net loans at December 31, 1996,
nonperforming loans was 2.6%. Total nonperforming assets as a percent of
total assets at December 31, 1996 was 2.3%.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding
the financial condition and the results of operations of the Company.
References to the "Company" include Mitchell Bancorp, Inc. and/or Mitchell
Savings Bank, Inc. SSB, as appropriate.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996
The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by approximately $2.6
million or 7.0% from $36.8 million at June 30, 1996 to $34.2 million at
December 31, 1996. The decrease in assets for the period was primarily
attributable to the decrease in deposits and the repayment of stock
oversubscriptions.
The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been materially
affected by market conditions between June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996. Net
loans increased $3.2 million, or 13.7%. This increase resulted from the
Company's origination of loans to satisfy increased demand for fixed rate
mortgage loans, as well as funding a $1.2 million commercial loan, and was
funded with cash provided from the stock conversion. The commercial loan
which is secured by a retail strip mall bears interest at 8% and has a 15
year maturity.
Consistent with its historical lending practices, virtually all of the
Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 1996 consisted of fixed rate loans
with maturities up to sixteen (16) years. Consequently, the Company is exposed
to a high degree of interest rate risk in a rising interest rate environment.
The Company has historically accepted this risk in light of its relatively
high capital levels. See Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussion below.
Deposits decreased $2.0 million or 9.7%, from $20.3 million at June 30, 1996
to $18.4 million at December 31, 1996. The decrease in deposits was primarily
attributable to the withdrawal of deposits in certificate accounts, which the
Company attributes to other competitive investment alternatives available to
its customers. The Company also repaid approximately $500,000 in stock
oversubscription and $350,000 in accounts payable for stock conversion cost.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31,
1995 and 1996
Net Income. Net income increased $279,000 or 198% from a net loss of
$(141,000) for the three months ended December
11
31, 1995 to net income of $138,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1996. The increase was primarily the result of the combined increase in net
interest income and the decrease in non-interest expense. The return on
average assets was 1.58% for the three months ended December 31, 1996.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $156,000 or 56.7% from
$275,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995 to $431,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1996. The improvement in net interest income
primarily reflects an increase in average interest-earning assets over average
interest-bearing liabilities for the Company of $8.6 million or 138% for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 as a result of the
proceeds from the stock offering. The interest rate spread increased from
2.72% for three months ending December 31, 1995 to 2.78% for the three months
ending December 31, 1996. In addition, interest earned on investments in
overnight funds held by the Company increased by $41,000 for the three months
ending December 31, 1996 over 1995.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased $111,000 from $568,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1995 to $679,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1996. Interest on loans increased $70,000, or 14.1% and
interest on overnight funds increase by $41,000. Interest on investments
remained constant.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $45,000 from $293,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 to $248,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996. The decrease for the three months ending December 31, 1996
was the result of a $2.3 million decrease in the average deposit outstanding
combined with a 28 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for three month
periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 was $42,000 and $6,000, respectively.
Historically, management has emphasized the Company's loss experience over
other factors in establishing provisions for loan losses. However, management
has reviewed the allowance for loan losses in relation to the Company's
composition of its loan portfolio and observations of the general economic
climate and loan loss expectations. The ratio of allowance to non-performing
loans at December 31, 1996 was 25.5 %.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an insignificant
source of income for the Company. This income remained at consistently the
same level during both periods.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $254,000 from $456,000
for the three months ending December 31, 1995 to $202,000 for 1996. The
primary reason for the decrease was as a result of significant benefit plan
cost recognized in the second quarter of 1995 with no comparable amounts
recognized in 1996. This decrease was offset by additional operating expense
as a public company and the effect of increased compensation from the
recognition of allocated ESOP shares at fair market value. During the three
month period ending December 31, 1996, the Company recognized $17,000 of
compensation expense related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Other
non-interest expense items remained relatively stable with anticipated
inflationary increases. Non-interest expense is expected to increase in future
periods as a result of the implementation of the Company's Management
Recognition Plan is expected to increase.
12
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ending December 31, 1996
was $86,000 compared to income tax benefit of ($79,000) for the same period in
1995. The increase was the result of pre-tax income increasing by $444,000.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 1995
and 1996
Net Income. Net income increased $237,000 or 431% from a net loss of
($55,000) for the six months ended December 31, 1995 to $182,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996. Included in operations for the six months
ending December 31, 1996 was $137,000 for the SAIF premium assessment signed
into law on September 30, 1996. The after tax effect of the one-time
assessment was approximately $85,000. The return on average assets was 1.04%
for the six months ended December 31, 1996.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $273,000 or 49.5% from
$551,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995 to $824,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996. The improvement in net interest income
primarily reflects an increase in average interest-earning assets over average
interest-bearing liabilities for the Company of $8.6 million or 136% for the
six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to 1995 as a result of the
proceeds from the stock offering. The interest rate spread decreased from
2.80% for six months ending December 31, 1995 to 2.78% for the six months
ending December 31, 1996. In addition, interest earned on investments in
overnight funds held by the Company increased by $122,000 for the six months
ending December 31, 1996 over 1995.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased $210,000 from $1,136,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1995 to $1,346,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996. Interest on loans increased $88,000, or 8.8%. Interest on
overnight funds invested by the Company also increased. Interest on
investments remained constant.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $63,000 from $585,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 to $522,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1996. The decrease for the six months ending December 31, 1996 was the
result of a $2.0 million decrease in average deposits outstanding and a 9
basis point decrease in the average cost of funds.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the six month
periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 was $48,000 and $12,000,
respectively. Historically, management has emphasized the Company's loss
experience over other factors in establishing provisions for loan losses.
However, management has reviewed the allowance for loan losses in relation to
the Company's composition of its loan portfolio and observations of the
general economic climate and loan loss expectations.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an insignificant
source of income for the Company. This income remained at consistently the
same level during both periods.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $71,000 from $593,000
for the six months ending December 31, 1995 to $522,000 for 1996. This
decrease was the direct result of less employee benefit expense during the six
months of 1996 offset by additional operating expense as a public company, by
the effect of increased compensation from the recognition of allocated ESOP
shares at fair market value and by the recognition of the SAIF special
assessment. During the six month period ending December 31, 1996, the Company
recognized $32,000 of compensation expense related to the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and $137,000 for additional deposit insurance premiums. Other
non-interest expense items remained relatively stable with anticipated
inflationary increases. Non-interest expense is expected to increase in future
periods as a result of the implementation of the Company's Management
Recognition Plan.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the six months ending December 31, 1996
was $110,000 compare to income tax benefit of ($31,000) for the same period in
1995. The increase was the result of pre-tax income increasing by $378,000 for
the six months in 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds are
deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans. While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of
funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company's
primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains
liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities,
deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At December 31, 1996,
there were no material commitments for capital expenditures and the Company
had unfunded loan commitments of approximately $861,000. At December 31, 1996,
management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that will
have or are reasonably likely to have material effects on the liquidity,
capital resources or operations of the Company. Further at December 31, 1996,
management was not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect.
The Savings Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at December 31,
1996. The Savings Bank had the following capital ratios at December 31, 1996:
December 31, 1996
