Our industry lead the world markets as the industry with the most "deals" in 1998. With literally millions of Americans affected by these buyouts, the question remains, what is the long-term effect of these transactions? Time will help determine the answer. At Enterprise, we believe time will favor those who remain focused on the customer and continually evolve in anticipation of future challenges. Maintaining customer loyalty during these turbulent times is even more important. The results for 1998 confirm this strategy. We continued to experience excellent asset and loan growth in 1998. Total assets at December 31, 1998 were $375 million, an increase of 29% over total assets of $291 million at year-end 1997. Outstanding loans at December 31, 1998 were $274 million, an increase of 21% over total loans at the end of 1997. Operating results for 1998 produced net income of $3 million, an increase of 36% over net income of $2.2 million in 1997. Fully diluted earnings per share increased to $1.20 for 1998, a $0.20 increase over 1997. We attribute the performance to several factors. First, asset quality remained very good in 1998 resulting in net loan losses of $21,000, or 0.01%, of average loans and contributing to record earnings for our banking franchise. Second, our customers took advantage of a low interest rate environment by refinancing their home mortgages resulting in significant fee income from our mortgage division. Lastly, Enterprise Merchant Banc contributed $433,000 in gross revenue from merchant banking activities compared to $162,000 in 1997. While we are pleased with our growth in assets and earnings, we believe such measures only tell part of the story. In keeping with our business strategy of continually investing in future opportunities, we are happy to provide an update on the growth in each of our business units. ENTERPRISE BANKING Our commercial banking operation continues to be the cornerstone of our Company. We are happy to report that we now have three profitable banking units. Our Sunset Hills and St. Peters locations opened in late 1997 and are fully operational and profitable. We remain focused on customer needs, innovative product lines, and exceptional service that is second to none. In the St. Louis market, Enterprise Banking is becoming synonymous with quality, and anyone that banks with us does not have to ask why! page two 4 ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL ADVISORS In the beginning of 1998, our clients told us they could benefit greatly from financial consulting and trust services. With an entrepreneurial spirit that touches every aspect of our Company, Enterprise Financial Advisors (EFA) took on a life of its own. EFA now has six employees and an independent advisory board of directors with many years of combined experience in investments, trust and estate planning, banking and business management! In addition, since inception in August of 1998, EFA now has over $33 million in assets under management in the financial consulting and trust divisions combined. ENTERPRISE MERCHANT BANC Enterprise Merchant Banc has been very busy as well. Fund I has grown rapidly, and we are raising capital for a new, larger fund. Many investors, both private and corporate, are excited about the vast array of opportunities that will be presented with this second Fund. In 1998 the Merchant Banc exited two businesses creating a profit on both investments. Merchant Banking activity also generated fee income in 1998. These fees directly impacted the net income for the Company, and we greatly appreciate all of the talent and dedication it takes to make these transactions a reality. [GRAPH] page three 5 We truly are evolving into a complete financial services company serving the lifetime financial needs of our clients. As can be seen in the diagram on the previous page, we have three distinct businesses that are joined together by common philosophies and corporate structure. Each of them a separate business growing in an entrepreneurial environment, benefiting from and contributing to one another, and each of them necessary to complete the whole. Our financial performance indicates that we are successfully implementing our strategy to create dedicated stand-alone businesses that together add material value to the Company. As lines continue to blur between financial service companies, we believe this autonomous yet interdependent structure will provide the flexibility and creativeness necessary to differentiate us from others still focused on size as the ultimate measure. This structure creates dedicated employees, customer loyalty, and ultimately shareholder value, aptly reflected in our stock price. As of March 24, 1999, the last known trade was at $37.50 per share, up from $25.75 a year ago and $15.50 two years ago! J.A. Glynn and Company has been instrumental in providing a market where interested buyers and sellers can transact in our Common Stock. Since J.A. Glynn began providing this service in 1997, the volume of transactions and our price per share have both increased significantly. Technology continually reshapes the way we, and our customers, do business. We want to make sure that we keep pace with technological developments. This is exemplified most recently in our banking business. To deepen our relationships and broaden our product lines, we implemented an online Internet Banking product and telephone voice-response system that will be offered to our customers in the next few months. Soon, Enterprise Banking customers will be able to call a voice-response line or visit http://www.enterprisebank.com 24-hours a day, 7-days a week to conduct - ----------------------------- business. We are also in the final stages of the Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance process. Fortunately, we planned well and positioned ourselves so that Y2K compliance has had very little impact on our financial performance. We are very proud of the technological advances we made in the past few years as we continue to remain competitive in the financial sector. We appreciate the contributions from our shareholders, customers, directors and employees who helped us achieve our results in 1998. We embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and look forward to another prosperous year together! /s/ RONALD E. HENGES /s/ KEVIN C. EICHNER /s/ FRED H. ELLER RONALD E. HENGES KEVIN C.
