(the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lakeview Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"), Branchview, Inc., and its 90% owned subsidiary, Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the statement of financial condition, statement of operations, and statement 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 and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year July 31, 1998 or any other interim period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1997. (2) Net Income per Share Net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of total common stock shares and average number of common stock equivalents outstanding during the three month periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1996. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter ended October 31, 1997, was 4,822,350. Per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 10% stock dividends paid during 1995, 1996 and 1997. On September 4, 1997, Lakeview Financial Corp. declared a two for one stock split payable on October 15, 1997. Share data has been adjusted to reflect the stock split. At October 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively, the weighted average number of shares outstanding include 198,570 and 108,608 shares committed to be released for the Savings Bank's ESOP. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. SFAS 128 replaces 7 presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement 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. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted and requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. The pro forma basic EPS for the three month period ended October 31, 1997 was $.31 per share. The diluted EPS is not expected to be materially different from the earnings per share disclosed in the income statement. (3) Non Performing Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses Non-performing assets (loans 90 days or more delinquent, non-accrual loans, real estate owned and other non-performing assets) totaled $5.9 million or 1.14% of total assets at October 31, 1997, as compared to $5.7 million or 1.13% of total assets at July 31, 1997. Non performing loans at October 31, 1997, and July 31, 1997, are as follows: October 31, 1997 July 31,1997 ---------------- ------------ Loans delinquent 90 days or more $4,146,671 $3,810,868 As a percentage of total loans 1.8% 1.7% An analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the three month period ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows: For the three For the three months ended months ended October 31, 1997 October 31, 1996 ---------------- ---------------- Balance at beginning of period $3,411,461 $3,073,158 Provision charged to operations 300,518 105,000 Charge-offs, (183,031) (39,965) Recoveries 10,754 10,981 --------- --------- Balance at end of period $3,539,702 $3,149,174 ========== ========== 8 (4) Borrowings Federal Home Loan Bank line of credit increased $15.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997. The line of credit is at an interest rate of 5.81% and maturity is due on November 3, 1997. The line of credit the Savings Bank had entered into with one major national broker/dealer increased $7.4 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997. The line of credit is at an interest rate of 8.25%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $1.0 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997. The weighted average interest rate is 5.73%. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview - -------- Lakeview Financial Corp. (the "Company") is organized as a unitary savings and loan holding company and owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Lakeview Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"). The business of the Savings Bank and therefore, the Company, is the acceptance of savings deposits from the general public and the origination and purchase of mortgage loans in Northern New Jersey. The Savings Bank has eight office locations located in Bergen and Passaic Counties, New Jersey. The Company also has investments in two service corporations, Branchview, Inc. and Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. Comparison of Financial Condition at October 31, 1997 and July 31, 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets increased $12.1 million, or 2.4%, to $518.0 million at October 31, 1997, from $505.9 million at July 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to increases in loans receivable, net, of $9.0 million, $250 thousand in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, $3.5 million in investment securities available for sale, and $3.1 million in investment securities held to maturity, offsetting declines of $4.3 million in mortgage-backed securities held to maturity. Investment securities available for sale ("investment securities") increased $3.5 million to $109.1 million at October 31, 1997 from $105.6 million at July 31, 1997. The increase was mainly attributable to the purchase of investment securities in the amount of $6.4 million, offset by a decrease in market value of $457 thousand (before tax), sales of $2.0 million and principal repayments of $569 thousand. Pursuant to SFAS 115, investment securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported net of income tax, as a separate component of equity. Mortgage backed securities held to maturity decreased $4.2 million, or 4.2%, to $98.0 million at October 31, 1997, from $102.2 million at July 31, 1997. This was attributed to principal repayments of $4.2 million. The funds were primarily used to fund the growth in loans receivable. Loans receivable increased $8.9 million, or 4.0%, to $233.5 million at October 31, 1997, from $224.6 million at July 31, 1997. The increase was the result of the concerted efforts of a seasoned branch staff and specialized lending officers and senior management. Deposits, after interest credited, decreased $1.7 million, or .47%, to $369.1 million at October 31, 1997, from $370.8 million at July 31, 1997. The decrease was due to a net decrease in deposits before interest of $5.2 million, offset by interest credited to deposits of $3.5 million. 10 Borrowings increased $22.2 million, or 36.2%, to $83.5 million at October 31, 1997, from $61.3 million at July 31, 1997. This was primarily due to the increase in the Federal Home Loan Bank line of credit of $15.8 million, or 78.2% to $36.0 million at October 31, 1997, from $20.2 million at July 31, 1997. The line of credit the Savings Bank entered into with one major national broker increased $7.4 million, or 370.0% to $9.4 million at October 31, 1997 from $2.0 million at July 31, 1997. Offsetting the increase, Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $1.0 million, or 2.6% to $38.0 million at October 31, 1997 from $39.0 million at July 31, 1997. During the period ended October 31, 1997, the Savings Bank used borrowings and principal repayments on mortgage backed securities held to maturity to fund the growth in loans receivable, investment securities held to maturity, investment securities available for sale, and the repurchase of common stock. Shareholders' equity decreased $6.5 million during the three months ended October 31, 1997, to $55.4 million. This was primarily due to the repurchase of $7.7 million in common stock, decrease in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $167 thousand, and cash dividends of $140,000, offsetting the decrease was net income of $1.3 million and amortization of ESOP shares of $243 thousand. Comparison of Operating Results For The Three Months Ended October 31, 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 1996 - -------- Interest Income: Total interest income increased $912 thousand to $9.0 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997, compared to $8.1 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1996. The increase was mainly due to growth in the level of interest earning assets, primarily in loans receivable, net, and an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets from 7.46% to 7.48%. The average balance in interest earning assets for the three months ended October 31, 1997, increased $47.9 million, or 11.1% to $479.6 million from $431.7 million for the same period in 1996. Interest Expense: Total interest expense increased $428 thousand to $4.6 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997, compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1996. The increase was due to growth in the level of interest bearing liabilities, and a increase in the average cost. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $20.5 million or 5.1% to $419.2 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1997, from $398.7 million for the quarter ended October 31, 1996. The cost increased 20 basis points to 4.42% for the three months ended October 31, 1997 from 4.22% for the same period in 1996. Net Interest Income: Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $485 thousand or 12.6%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 1997, from $3.8 million for the same period in 1996. 11 Provision For Loan Losses: For the comparison period, the provision for loan losses increased $196,000, or 186.2%, to $300,518 compared to $105,000 for the same period ended October 31, 1996, due to loan growth and a change in the mix of the loan portfolio. Management of the Savings Bank regularly accesses the credit risk of the loan portfolio based on information available at such times, including trends in the local real estate market and levels of the Savings Bank's non-performing loans and assets. The assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involve subjective judgement regarding future events and thus there can be no assurance that additional provision for loan losses will not be required in future periods. Other Income: Other income decreased $869 thousand during the comparison period to $745 thousand or 53.8%, from $1.6 million. The decline was primarily due to the recognition of $204,000 in non-recurring gains from the sale of a subsidiary and $764,000 in gains from the sale of investments during the quarter ended October 31, 1996 and a loss of $13,000 from the investment securities available for sale portfolio at October 31, 1997. The loss on the sale of investment securities available for sale for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1998. The Savings Bank elected not to participate in the sale of investments during the period ended October 31, 1997. Other Expense: For the comparison period, other expense decreased $2.0 million, or 41.2%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 1997, from $4.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 1996. Other expense primarily decreased due to the recognition for the three months ended October 31, 1996 of a $2.2 million special assessment required to recapitalize the SAIF. The decrease was offset by an increase in compensation expense of $254,000 and a $22,000 increase in net loss from real estate owned activities as compared to the same period in 1996. Compensation increased $254 thousand, or 20.2% to $1.5 million at October 31, 1997 as compared to $1.3 million at October 31, 1996. The increase was mainly attributed to the amortization of the ESOP of $76 thousand due to the increase of market value of the Company's stock and $155,000 in compensation due to an increase cost and increased staff for the Company's subsidiary Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. Net loss on real estate owned operations increased $22 thousand, or 112.1% to $41 thousand at October 31, 1997 as compared to $20 thousand at October 31, 1996. Management will continue to liquidate real estate owned whenever possible. 12 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds includes savings deposits, loan repayments and prepayments, cash flow from operations and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB"). The Savings Bank uses its capital resources principally to fund loan origination and purchases, repay maturing borrowings, purchase of securities, and for short and long-term liquidity needs. The Savings Bank expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its commitments and long-term liabilities. The Savings Bank's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in highly liquid short-term investments. The level of these assets are dependent on the Savings Bank's operating, financing and investment activities during any given period. At October 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,482,274. The Savings Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments. As of October 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had commitments to fund loans of $6,647,250. The Savings Bank had leverage, Tier 1 and risk-based capital ratios of 7.6%, 13.2%, and 14.5% at October 31, 1997, which exceeded the FDIC's respective minimum requirements of 4.00%, 4.00% and 8.00%. The Savings Bank was classified as a "well capitalized" institution by the FDIC as of October 31, 1997. 13 LAKEVIEW FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES PART II ITEM 1.
