Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Since management's judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future events, the actual results could differ from those estimates which will have a positive or negative effect on future period results. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. Income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents (when dilutive) outstanding during each period after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends declared. The common share equivalents of options and warrants in the computation of primary earnings per share is computed utilizing the Treasury Stock method. For purposes of this computation, the average market price of common stock during each three-month quarter included in the period being reported upon, is used, when dilutive. The ending market price of common stock is used, however, for fully diluted income per share if the ending price is higher than the average price. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Carnegie Bank, N.A., its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. NOTE B -- INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company classifies its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," ("SFAS 115"). SFAS 115 requires that an enterprise classify its investments in debt securities as either securities held to maturity (carrying amount equals amortized cost), securities available for sale (carrying amount equals estimated fair value; unrealized gains and losses recorded in a separate component of stockholder's equity, net of taxes) or trading securities (carrying amount equals estimated fair value; unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of net income). The Company has evaluated all of its investments in debt securities and has classified them as either held to maturity or available for sale. Any security which is a U.S. Government security, U.S. Government agency security, and agency mortgage-backed security, or an obligation of a state or political subdivision may be placed in the held-to-maturity category if acquired with the intent and ability to maintain the security in the portfolio until maturity. Premiums and discounts on these securities are amortized or accreted on a basis that approximates the effective yield method. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities available for sale are determined on a specific identification cost basis. 6 CARNEGIE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)--(Continued) Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, a majority of the Company's investment securities was classified as available for sale. Due to this classification, the Company's stockholders' equity will be affected by changing interest rates which affect the market price of the Company's securities available for sale. At June 30, 1997, no investment securities were classified as trading securities. The following tables present the book values, market values and gross unrealized gains and losses of the Company's investment securities portfolio as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

At June 30, 1997, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized totaled $5,625,000 of which $1,070,000 related to loans with no valuation allowance because the Bank expects repayment in full and $4,555,000 is related to loans with a corresponding valuation allowance of $479,000. The total amount of impaired loans measured using the present value of expected future cash flows amounted to $2,177,000 and the total amount of impaired loans measured using the fair value of the loan's collateral amounted to $3,448,000. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $5,410,000. The Company recognized $30,000 in income on impaired loans during the portion of the year that they were impaired. At December 31, 1996, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized totaled $4,175,000 of which $1,070,000 related to loans with no valuation allowance because the Bank expects repayment in full and $3,105,000 is related to loans with a corresponding valuation allowance of $315,000. 8 CARNEGIE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)--(Continued) The total amount of impaired loans measured using the present value of expected future cash flows amounted to $714,000 and the total amount of impaired loans measured using the fair value of the loan's collateral amounted to $3,461,000. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $3,523,000. The Company recognized $15,000 of interest on impaired loans on a cash basis, during the portion of the year that they were impaired. NOTE E -- RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the financial statements presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. NOTE F -- DIVIDENDS The Board of Directors declared both a stock dividend and a cash dividend in January, 1997. Stockholders of record on February 12, 1997 received a 5% stock dividend on March 19, 1997 and stockholders of record on February 19, 1997 received a $.14 per share cash dividend, paid on March 19, 1997. Weighted average shares outstanding and earnings per share have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock dividend. The Board of Directors declared a second quarter cash dividend of $.14 per share on April 23, 1997. The dividend was paid on June 18, 1997 to shareholders of record on May 21, 1997. On July 16, 1997, the Board of Directors also declared a third quarter cash dividend of $.14 per share. The dividend will be payable on September 17, 1997 to shareholders of record on August 27, 1997. NOTE G -- STOCK WARRANTS On August 16, 1994 the Company issued, through a public offering, 690,000 units. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $15.09 for a period of three years from the date of issuance. At June 30, 1997 there were 507,757 warrants outstanding. As adjusted for the Company's 1995, 1996, and 1997 5% stock dividends these warrants are convertible into 587,792 shares of common stock which is equivalent to an effective price per share of approximately $13.04. 9 CARNEGIE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)--(Continued) NOTE H -- SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS The composition of short-term borrowings follows: June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 -------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Overnight Federal funds purchased -- balance............................................ $ -- $1,000 -- weighted average rate.............................. -- 7.38% -- maturity date...................................... -- 1/02/97 Term borrowing from FHLB-NY -- balance............................................ $10,000 $ -- -- weighted average rate.............................. 6.267% -- -- maturity date...................................... 4/22/98 -- NOTE I -- LONG-TERM DEBT The composition of long-term debt follows: June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 -------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) 6.27% fixed rate term borrowing with Federal Home Loan Bank-NY, due 4/22/98......................... $ -- $10,000 6.50% fixed rate repurchase agreement with Salomon Bros., due 4/19/99................................ 4,425 4,425 ------ ------- $4,425 $14,425 ====== ======= NOTE J -- MERGER AGREEMENT TERMINATED On January 15, 1997 Carnegie Bancorp announced the termination of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger that had provided for the merger of Regent Bancshares Corp. into Carnegie Bancorp and the concurrent merger of each company's respective subsidiary banks. NOTE K -- RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES. FASB has issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of SFAS 125", effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted. This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 10 CARNEGIE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)--(Continued) EARNINGS PER SHARE. Issued in March, 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. This Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share 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 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. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. This Statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ABOUT CAPITAL STRUCTURE. FASB has also issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", establishing standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. This Statement continues the previous requirements to disclose certain information about an entity's capital structure found in APB Opinions No. 10, "Omnibus Opinion - 1966", and No. 15, "Earnings per Share", and FASB Statement No. 47, "Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations", for entities that were subject to the requirements of those standards. This Statement eliminates the exemption of nonpublic entities from certain disclosure requirements on Opinion No. 15 as provided by FASB Statement No. 21, "Suspention of the Reporting of Earnings per Share and Segment Information by Nonpublic Enterprises". It supersedes specific disclosure requirements of Opinions No. 10 and No. 15 and Statement No. 47 and consolidates them in this Statement for ease of retrieval and for greater visibility to nonpublic entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. It contains no change in disclosure requirements for entities that were previously subject to the requirements of Opinions No. 10 and No. 15 and Statement No. 47 and therfore its adoption will have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 11 CARNEGIE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This financial review presents Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere herein. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at June 30, 1997 increased by $28.2 million, or 8.2%, to $371.6 million compared to $343.4 million at December 31, 1996. Total assets averaged $362.3 million in the first six months of 1997, a $76.5 million, or 26.8%, increase from the 1996 full year average of $285.8 million. Average loans increased $64.2 million, or 31.2%, to $269.7 million in the first six months of 1997, from the 1996 full year average of $205.5 million. Average investment securities increased by $6.7 million, or 10.7%, to $69.2 million; average Federal funds sold increased by $5.6 million, or 280.0%, to $7.6 million; and the average of all other assets increased by $.8 million, or 4.4%, to $18.9 million during the first six months of 1997 compared to the full year 1996 averages. These increases in average assets were funded primarily by a $85.7 million, or 36.9%, increase in average deposits, as average deposits during the first six months of 1997 increased to $317.8 million from the full year 1996 average of $232.1 million. The decrease in average borrowed funds from $30.9 million for the 1996 full year average to $17.8 million during the first six months of 1997, an average decrease of $13.1 million, or 42.4%, was also attributable to the increase in average deposits. It is the intention of management to use both its borrowing capacity and deposit raising capacity in a proportion that best controls cost, meets liquidity needs, and satisfies asset/liability management objectives. During 1996, the Company utilized borrowed funds to temporarily fund loan growth, as well as for asset/liability management purposes. During the first six months of 1997, the Company utilized deposits generated both from recently opened branch offices and from promotional programs in the Bank's existing offices to fund securities purchases and to repay borrowings. LENDING ACTIVITY Total loans at June 30, 1997 were $272.6 million, a 2.3%, or $6.1 million increase from December 31, 1996. Average loans increased by $64.2 million, or 31.2%, to $269.7 million in the first six months of 1997 compared to the 1996 full year average. Changes in the composition of the average loan portfolio during the period included increases of $58.9 million in commercial loans and commercial mortgages, $2.3 million in residential mortgages and $3.0 million in other installment loans. The 33.8% increase in average commercial loans and commercial mortgages over the 1996 full year averages is partially attributable to the greater penetration of the marketplace and an improvement in the general economic environment in New Jersey and partially to the purchase of $32.8 million of loan participations from Regent National Bank in September and October, 12 1996, with Carnegie's purchase of the remaining balance of $3.3 million in these loans in January, 1997. Carnegie opened a new branch office in Toms River, New Jersey in the fourth quarter of 1995 amd during the first six months of 1996, a new office in Montgomery and Flemington, New Jersey and a new office in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Having regional lenders on site in these offices has helped to provide the growth Carnegie has experienced during 1996 and has contributed to the higher average loan volume in late 1996 and early 1997. Management intends to continue to pursue quality loans in all lending categories within the Company's market area. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses was $2.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans, at June 30, 1997 compared to $2.7 million, or 1.00% of total loans, at December 31, 1996. The balance of non-performing loans, which includes non-accrual loans was $5.0 million, or 1.8% of total loans at June 30, 1997. This compares to non-performing loans, excluding accruing loans past due 90 days or more of $839 thousand, of $3.3 million, or 1.2% of total loans at December 31, 1996. The majority of the Company's loans are collateralized by real estate and personal guarantees. Asset quality is a major corporate objective and management believes that the total allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio, although future changes in economic conditions, borrowers ability to repay their loans, regulatory requirements and other factors may require future additions to the allowance. INVESTMENT SECURITIES ACTIVITY Average investment securities increased by $6.7 million in the first six months of 1997 compared to the 1996 full year average. At period end June 30, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996, investments increased $17.3 million, or 32.4%. During 1996, some of the proceeds of securities sales, principal paydowns and maturities were used to fund loan growth rather than to fund additional purchases of investment securities. Strong deposit growth during the fourth quarter of 1996 and first quarter of 1997 was primarily used to reduce borrowed funds, and secondarily to increase the investment securities portfolio. During the first six months of 1997, proceeds from the sales of securities available-for-sale amounted to $35.8 million, resulting in a $91 thousand loss on the sales, and was offset by the purchase of $54.7 million in securities, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. These purchases were funded primarily by a net increase in deposits of $24.3 million during the same period. During the first six months of 1996, proceeds from the sale of securities available-for-sale were $27.4 million, and the Company purchased $28.0 million of securities, of which $3.0 million were classified as available-for-sale and $25.0 million as held-to-maturity. At June 30, 1997, net unrealized losses in the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio amounted to $157 thousand and net unrealized losses in the held-to-maturity securities portfolio amounted to $28 thousand. Net unrealized losses of $98 thousand, net of a tax benefit of $59 thousand, were reported as a reduction to stockholders' equity at June 30, 1997. 13 DEPOSITS Average total deposits increased by $85.7 million, or 36.9%, to $317.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the 1996 full year average of $232.1 million. The growth in deposits during this period was primarily due to the expansion of the Company's branch system and its aggressive pricing on certificates of deposit in comparison to the Company's marketplace. Additionally, a new product was introduced in September 1996, a seven month "no penalty" certificate of deposit that allows for complete or partial withdrawals without penalty. This product is reflected in the Company's "savings deposits" which grew from $77.1 million at June 30, 1996 to $171.7 million at June 30, 1997. Changes in the average deposit mix include an $18.0 million, or 17.5%, increase in certificates of deposit; a $10.0 million, or 18.8%, decrease in money market deposit accounts; a $72.6 million, or 372.8%, increase in savings deposits, including the Company's "no penalty" certificate of deposit; a $3.0 million, or 18.4%, increase in NOW account deposits; and a $2.1 million, or 5.2%, increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits. The dramatic increase in savings deposits reflects the increase in the Company's new "no penalty" seven month certificate of deposit. Deposits are obtained primarily from the market areas which the Company serves. As of June 30, 1997 the Company did not have any brokered deposits and neither solicited nor offered premiums for such deposits. LIQUIDITY Liquidity is a measurement of the Company's ability to meet present and future funding obligations and commitments. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, repayment of borrowings, when applicable, and the funding of loan commitments. The Company also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives. Principal sources of liquidity are deposit generation, access to purchased funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, maturities and repayments of loans and investment securites, net interest income and fee income. Liquid assets (consisting of cash, Federal funds sold and investment securities classified as available-for-sale) comprised 18.8% and 13.6% of the Company's total assets at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. As shown in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, the Company's primary source of funds at June 30, 1997 was from deposit growth, which was used primarily to fund purchases of securities available-for-sale and secondarily to fund loan growth. Deposits increased $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, and primarily funded a net increase in investment securities of $17.3 million and secondarily a net increase in loans of $6.4 million. Proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale amounted to $35.8 million and $27.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. These funds were re-invested in securities which supported the Company's asset/liability management philosophy, and generally reduced the average maturity of the securities portfolio. During 1996, the Company utilized borrowed funds as a temporary funding source for loan growth, as well as for asset/liability management purposes, until sufficient deposits were generated from the market areas which the Company serves. 14 The Company also has several secondary sources of liquidity. Many of the Company's loans are originated pursuant to underwriting standards which make them readily marketable to other financial institutions or investors in the secondary market. In addition, in order to meet liquidity needs on a temporary basis, the Bank has lines of credit in the amount of $5.5 million for the purchase of Federal funds with other financial institutions and may borrow funds at the Federal Reserve discount window, subject to the Bank's ability to supply collateral. In addtion, the Bank has an overnight line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank-New York ("FHLB-NY") in the amount of $16.2 million. In aggregate with the overnight line, subject to certain requirements the Bank may also obtain term advances with FHLB-NY of up to 25% of the Bank's assets. The Company believes that its liquidity position is sufficient to provide funds to meet future loan demand or the possible outflow of deposits, in addition to being able to adapt to changing interest rate conditions. Long term debt of $4.4 million and short-term borrowings of $10 million as of June 30, 1997 are matched against specific loans or investments, for asset and liability management purposes. The short-term borrowing consists of $10 million of FHLB-NY term advances maturing April 22, 1998, and the long term debt of $4.4 million consists of repurchase agreements from Salomon Brothers with a maturity date of April 19, 1999. CAPITAL RESOURCES Stockholder's equity increased by $2.5 million at June 30, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996. The changes in stockholders' equity during the six months ended June 30, 1997 were comprised of an increase from net income of $1.6 million, an increase of $106 thousand (net of tax provision) due to decreased unrealized holding losses in the Company's portfolio of securities available-for-sale, as a $204 thousand unrealized loss became a $98 thousand unrealized loss, a reduction by cash dividends paid of $592 thousand, and an increase of $1.4 million in proceeds from exercised options and warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company paid $592 thousand, or 37.6% of net income, in cash dividends compared to $432 thousand, or 36.9% of net income in cash dividends for the same period in 1996. The Company's primary regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (which regulates bank holding companies), has issued guidelines classifying and defining bank holding company capital into the following components: (1) Tier I Capital, which includes tangible stockholders' equity for common stock and certain qualifying preferred stock, and excludes net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and deferred tax assets that are dependent on projected taxable income greater than one year in the future, and (2) Tier II Capital (Total Capital), which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses and certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock that does not qualify for Tier I Capital. The risk-based capital guidelines require financial institutions to apply certain risk factors ranging from 0% to 100%, against assets to determine total risk-based assets. The minimum Tier I and the combined Tier I and Tier II capital to risk-weighted assets ratios are 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The Federal Reserve Bank also has adopted regulations which supplement the risk-based capital guidelines to include a minimum leverage ratio of Tier I Capital to total assets of 3.0% to 5.0%. Regulations have also been issued by the Bank's primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, establishing similary ratios. 15 The following table summarizes the risk-based and leverage capital ratios for the Company and the Bank at June 30, 1997, as well as the regulatory required minimum capital ratios: June 30, 1997 Regulatory Requirements ---------------- ----------------------------- Company Bank Minimum "Well Capitalized" ------- ---- ------- ------------------ Risk-based Capital: Tier I capital ratio... 9.44% 9.32% 4.00% 6.00% Total capital ratio.... 10.50% 10.38% 8.00% 10.00% Leverage ratio........... 7.08% 6.98% 3.00%-5.00% 5.00% or greater As noted in the above table, the Company's and the Bank's capital ratios exceed the regulatory requirements of a "well-capitalized' institution. 16 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 NET INCOME The Company earned $1.6 million, or $0.68 net income per share on a primary basis and $0.67 net income per share of a fully diluted basis, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.56 for both primary and fully diluted net income per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $403 thousand, or 34.4%. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $1.5 million, or 24.4%, increase in net interest income, and a $197 thousand, or 40.0%, decrease in provision for loan losses; these items were partially offset by a reduction in non-interest income of $498 thousand, or 56.1%, a $583 thousand, or 12.0%, increase in non-interest expenses and a $219 thousand, or 39.8%, increase in income tax provision. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") basis, which adjusts for the tax-exempt status of income earned on certain investments to express such income as if it were taxable, increased $1.4 million, or 22.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same prior year period. Interest income on a "FTE" basis, increased $4.2 million, or 37.5%, to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $11.1 million for the same period in 1996. The improvement in interest income was primarily due to volume increases in the loan portfolio as Carnegie benefited from strong loan demand and the purchase of $32.8 million in loan participations from Regent National Bank during the last two quarters of 1996 and $3.3 million in the first quarter of 1997, which produced a volume related increase in interest income on loans of $4.5 million. Volume related interest income was further increased by $172 thousand due to increased Federal funds sold and decreased by $55 thousand due to reduced investment securities as proceeds on sales of investment securities were used to fund loan growth and to reduce borrowed funds. The $4.2 million volume related increase in total interest income was reduced by $346 thousand resulting primarily from rate related reductions amounting to $486 thousand as loan interest rates repriced to lower current yields and was offset by investment securities rate related increases amounting to $133 thousand as lower yielding securities were replaced with higher yielding securities, and Federal Funds sold rate related increases of $7 thousand. Total interest income was further reduced by $60 thousand due to one additional day during the first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1997. Interest expense for the first six months of 1997 increased $2.7 million, or 57.4%, compared to the same prior year period. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to net volume increases in deposits which accounted for $1.7 million, and net rate increases which accounted for $1.1 million, and was offset by a decrease of $26 thousand attributable to one less day during the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. The interest expense rate and volume increases are the result of pricing decisions made by management in response to the need for cost effective sources of funds, primarily to provide for loan growth. Interest on loans to and obligations of states, municipalities and other public entities is not subject to Federal income tax. As such, the stated (pre-tax) yield on these assets is lower than 17 the yields on taxable assets of similar risk and maturity. In order to make the pre-tax income and resultant yields comparable to taxable loans and investments, a tax-equivalent basis adjustment was added to interest income in the following tables. This adjustment has been calculated using the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 34%. The following table summarizes the amount that has been added to interest income as presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

The provision is the result of management's review of several factors, including increased loan balances and management's assessment of economic conditions, credit quality and other factors that would have an impact on future possible losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans, and 58.8% of non-performing loans, and non-performing loans totaled $5.0 million, or 1.8% of total loans at June 30, 1997. The moderate provision for loan losses during the first six months of 1997 is a result of normal loan growth and management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income was $389 thousand for the first six months of 1997 compared to $887 thousand for the first six months of 1996, a decrease of $498 thousand, or 56.1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to net losses on securities sales amounting to $91 thousand during the first six months of 1997 compared to net gains on securities sales of $223 thousand during the first six months of 1996, offset by higher first six months of 1997 service fees on deposits of $28 thousand and higher other fees and commissions of $82 thousand. The increase in service fees on deposits was due to normal deposit growth and the increase in other fees and commissions was primarily due to $85 thousand for an investment security placement fee collected during the first quarter of 1997. Non-interest income for the first six months of 1996 was further increased by $294 thousand in gains on sale of other real-estate owned compared to $0 for the comparable 1997 period. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Total non-interest expenses increased $583 thousand, or 12.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was due primarily to increased employment expense resulting from staff expansion as the Company increased loan production staff and other department support staff and fully staffed its new branches, as well as increases in occupancy expenses, equipment expenses and other expenses generally attributable to the Company's growth. Of this increase, employment costs increased $321 thousand, or 14.1%, and reflected increases in the average number of employees from 112 full-time equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to an average of 122 full-time equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as well as merit and cost of living adjustments. The actual number of full-time equivalent employees was 124 at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997. The lack of staff growth is due primarily to reduced loan demand during the first six months of 1997, as adequate staffing was in place at the beginning of 1997. Occupancy expenses increased $75 thousand, or 11.3%, for the first six months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was attributable primarily to increased lease expense of $38 thousand, increased leasehold depreciation expenses of $20 thousand, increased maintenance and utilities expenses of $25 thousand, and was offset by reduced other occupancy expenses of $8 thousand. These increases were due to two newly opened branch offices as well as normal annual lease increases on other office facilities, and increased leasehold depreciation due to the new facilities. 22 Furniture and equipment expenses increased $101 thousand, or 22.7%, for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996 due primarily to depreciation and maintenance costs on purchases of enhanced computer equipment, depreciation on replacements of other furniture and equipment, as well as depreciation and maintenance costs associated with the new facilities. Other expenses increased $86 thousand, or 5.9%, for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. The increase was attributable to increased other expenses resulting from the continued growth of the Company, as costs of supplies, communications, advertising, insurance, professional fees and miscellaneous other expenses increased. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The Company recognized an income tax provision, which includes both Federal and State taxes, of $769 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 1997, for an effective income tax rate of 32.8%. This compared to $550 thousand, for an effective income tax rate of 32.0% for the same period in 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 NET INCOME The Company earned $806 thousand, or $0.35 net income per share on a primary basis and $0.34 on a fully diluted basis for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to $564 thousand, or $0.27 for both primary and fully diluted net income per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $242 thousand, or 42.9%. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $723 thousand, or 22.9% increase in net interest income and a reduction in provision for loan losses of $171 thousand, or 53.3%; and was offset by a reduction in non-interest income of $386 thousand, or 65.6%; higher non-interest expenses which increased $170 thousand, or 6.6%; and increased income taxes of $96 thousand, or 32.9% NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the second quarter of 1997, on a "FTE" basis, increased $732 thousand, or 22.7%, compared to the second quarter of 1996. This improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from a higher level of earning assets, primarily loans, and was offset by lower loan rates and higher rates paid on deposits, as the net interest margin decreased from 5.04% to 4.44%. The decrease in the net interest margin resulted from lower yielding loans as rates generally declined. New loan volume, however, was generally funded by the higher yielding seven month "no penalty" certificate of deposit, which management has found to be the most cost effective funding source. Average earning assets for the second quarter of 1997 increased by $100.7 million, or 39.3%, compared to the second quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of a $84.7 million, or 45.2% increase in average loans; and a $10.6 million, or 15.5% increase in average investment securities; and further increased by a $5.5 million increase in average Federal Funds sold. Funding for the growth in loans and investment securities came from deposit growth generated by the Company's maturing branch offices and from the promotion of the seven month "no penalty" certificate of deposit, as average deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 23 to $324.8 million compared to $221.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, an increase in average deposits of $103.8 million, or 47.0%. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $150 thousand in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $321 thousand in the same period of 1996. The provision for loan losses is a result of loan growth and management's assessment of economic conditions, credit quality, loan administration effectiveness and other factors that would have an impact on possible losses in the loan portfolio. Asset quality is a major corporate objective and management believes that the total allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income decreased $386 thousand, or 65.6%, to $202 thousand for the second quarter of 1997 compared to $588 thousand for the same quarter of 1996. The decrease is attributable to net gains on investment securities sales amounting to $95 thousand and $294 thousand attributable to a gain on sale of other real-estate owned during the second quarter of 1996, compared to no net security gain and no gains on sale of other real-estate owned during the second quarter of 1997. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Total non-interest expense increased $170 thousand, or 6.6%, for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996. The increase is primarily due to increased employment expenses, as well as increases in occupancy expenses, equipment expenses and other expenses generally attributable to the Company's growth. Employment costs increased $65 thousand, or 5.4%, for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996 due primarily to merit and cost of living adjustments. The actual number of full-time equivalent employees was 124 at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997. Occupancy expenses increased $34 thousand, or 10.1%, for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996. The increase is attributable primarily to increased lease expense of $13 thousand incurred for normal annual lease increases on branch facilities, an increase of $9 thousand in leasehold depreciation on these facilities, and higher utilities and maintenance costs of $12 thousand. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $42 thousand, or 18.0%, due primarily to depreciation on purchases of new computer equipment and other furniture and equipment, which amounted to $38 thousand. Other expenses increased $29 thousand, or 3.7%, for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996. The minimal increase was attributable to increased other expenses resulting from the continued growth of the Company, as costs of supplies, communications, advertising, insurance, professional fees and miscellaneous other expenses increased. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The Company recognized an income tax provision, which includes both Federal and State taxes, of $388 thousand for the second quarter of 1997, for an effective income tax rate of 32.5%. This compared to $292 thousand, for an effective income tax rate of 34.1%, for the same quarter in 1996. 24 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - NONE Item 2.
