(4) BAY AREA BANCSHARES & SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS All adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial condition at September 30, 1997, results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and the statement of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 have been included. These adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations and statement of cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year's activity. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies reflected in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1996. In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earning per Share." This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock. This statement simplifies the standards for computing EPS previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share", and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statements for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier application is not permitted. Management does not believe that the application of this statement will have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 131 specifies revised guidelines for determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial information to be disclosed. SFAS No. 130 and 131 are effective for financial statements issued for periods beginnng after December 15, 1997. Management does not believe that the application of these statements will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. All references to the "Bank" are in reference to the Company's sole, and wholly owned, subsidiary Bay Area Bank. (5) BAY AREA BANCSHARES & SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Item 2A Financial Condition Liquidity Liquid assets (Cash, Federal Funds Sold, Time Deposits with other Financial Institutions and Investments) increased $5.6 million or 17% to $38.2 million over the nine month period from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997. At year-end, total liquid assets as a percentage of total assets was 31.6%, whereas on September 30, 1997 it had increased slightly to 31.8%. Cash & due from banks increased $1.4 million over the first nine months of 1997 to $12.5 million at September 30, 1997. During the first nine months of 1997 cash and due from banks averaged $11.6 million. The portion of the total cash & due from banks representing ATM ("Automatic Teller Machine") network cash inventory has averaged approximately $3.6 million during 1997 and at September 30, 1997 ATM cash was approximately $3.3 million. The increase in total liquid assets, during the first nine months of 1997, was primarily a result of an increase in deposits and advances of $15.5 million or 17%, offset in part by an increase in gross loans of $12.3 million or 18%. Deposits have averaged $98.6 million thus far in 1997 while they averaged $88.1 million during the twelve month period ending December 31, 1996. Gross loans outstanding have averaged $74.2 million thus far in 1997 as compared to $66.2 million averaged throughout 1996. Management believes current liquid assets and current available credit lines are adequate to cover the working capital requirements of the Company and any reasonable needs arising from deposit withdrawals. Capital Consolidated equity capital plus reserves increased $1.4 million in the first nine months of 1997 from $10.8 million or 10.3% of total gross assets at December 31, 1996 to $12.3 million or 10.0% of total gross assets at September 30, 1997. Bank capital plus reserves totaled $11.8 million on September 30, 1997 or 9.7% of total assets as compared to capital plus reserves of $10.8 million or 10.3% of total adjusted assets at December 31, 1996. At September 30, 1997 the Bank maintained a tier one capital ratio of 11.7% and a tier two capital ratio of 12.9% as compared to a tier one capital ratio of 11.9% (6) and a tier two capital ratio of 13.1% at December 31, 1996. On May 27,1997 the Company announced it had adopted a stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to 5% of the Company's outstanding stock or $500,000 (whichever is less). The Company did repurchase 3,000 shares in the open market in July at a price of approximately $21.00 per share. The Bank's capital level continues to exceed State and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation requirements and satisfies the Federal Reserve Board's current risk-based capital Guidelines. The Bank has declared $450,000 in dividends to the Parent company in the first nine months of 1997 and the Company also declared cash dividends to common shareholders of $.09 per share in March, June and September of 1997. The third quarter dividend represents twenty four consecutive quarterly cash dividends declared by the Parent company to shareholders. Item 2B Results of Operations Results of Operations Consolidated operating profits were $470,000 ($.49 per fully diluted share vs. $.39 in the prior year) for the third quarter of 1997, the highest third quarter earnings in the Company's history. This represents a $96,000 or 25.7% increase over the third quarter of 1996 when net income was $374,000. Consolidated operating profits were $1,314,000 ($1.37 per fully diluted share vs. $1.13 in the prior year) for the first nine months of 1997, the highest nine month total in the Company's history. This represents a $252,000 or 24% increase over the first nine months of 1996 in which net income was $1,062,000. The increase in third quarter earnings in 1997 versus the third quarter of 1996 is a result of an increase in pretax earnings of $182,000 which is comprised of an increase in net interest income of $233,000 and a decrease in loan loss provisions of $90,000, offset in part by a decrease in noninterest income of $53,000 and an increase in non interest expense of $88,000. The increase in earnings for the first nine months of 1997 versus the first nine months of 1996 is a result of an increase in pretax earnings of $437,000 which is comprised of an increase in net interest income of $514,000 and a decrease in loan loss provisions of $205,000, offset in part by a decrease in noninterest income of $249,000 and a increase in noninterest expense of $33,000. The growth in net interest income of 15.5% in the third quarter of 1997 and 11.7% in the first nine months of 1997 is primarily a result of growth in total earning assets offset in part by a decrease in net interest margin. Average earning assets in the third quarter of 1997 were $103.2 million, a $14.9 million or 16.9% increase over the third quarter of 1996 when earning assets averaged $88.3 million. Net interest margin in the third quarter of 1997 was approximately 6.71% as compared to 6.79% in the third quarter of 1996. (7) Average earning assets in the first nine months of 1997 were $97.4 million, a $10.5 million or 13.4% increase over the first nine months of 1996 when earning assets averaged $85.9 million. Net interest margin in the first nine months of 1997 was approximately 6.72% as compared to 6.82% in the first half of 1996. The yield on earning assets rose slightly in the third quarter of 1997 to 9.75% as compared to 9.74% in the third quarter of 1996. The yield on earning assets was down in the first nine months of 1997 to 9.65% as compared to 9.74% in the first nine months of 1996. The cost of the Bank's deposits and advances (including demand deposits ) which averaged $103.9 million in the third quarter of 1997 rose to 3.02% as compared to 2.88% in the third quarter of 1996 when the deposits and advances averaged $90.3 million. Throughout the first nine months of 1997 deposits and advances have averaged $98.9 million and cost 2.88% while in the first nine months of 1996 the average was $86.7 million and cost 2.89%. The decrease in loan loss provisions throughout 1997, despite the 18% growth in loans outstanding since December 31, 1996, is primarily a result of improved loan portfolio performance. Non performing assets at September 30, 1997 were $707,000 or .59% of total assets and 45% of loan loss reserves. Non performing assets at December 31, 1996 were $1.67 million or 1.61% of total assets and 112% of loan loss reserves. There have been $113,000 in loans charged off during the first nine months of 1997 as compared to $467,000 during the first nine months of 1996. Loan loss reserves of $1.59 million at September 30, 1997 represent a ratio of 2.04% of gross loans outstanding as compared to a loan loss reserve of $1.49 million or 2.14% of gross loans at December 31, 1996. The reduction in non interest income of $53,000 in the third quarter of 1997 and $249,000 in the first nine months of 1997 was a result of the closing of the Bank's mortgage department in February 1997. The department was closed primarily as a result of intense competition which affected the profit margins for such loans sold in the marketplace. The department never reached its budgeted performance goals or contributed a satisfactory return given the risk of operations or the time that was committed by Bank management. The Bank's ATM revenues were relatively flat in the third quarter, up $4,000 or 1% over the third quarter of 1996, but up $157,000 or 11% for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The lack of revenue growth in the third quarter can be attributed to a reduction in machines in operation. Average revenue per machine was up from $9,700 per machine in the third quarter of 1996 to $11,700 per machine in the third quarter of 1997. There was an average of 55 machines in operation in the third quarter of 1996 but just 46 operating in the third quarter of 1997. The reduction in machine was a result of certain contracts that expired in 1997. The Bank hopes to find acceptable machines sites to redeploy all or some of the excess machines in the coming months. The department has contributed $249,000 to pretax profits in the first nine months of 1997 as compared to $173,000 in the first nine months of 1996. Non interest expense was up $88,000 or 6.2% in the third quarter but up only $33,000, less than 1%, for the first none months of 1997.
