Results of Operations Midwest Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") had net earnings of $247,000, or $0.66 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to net earnings of $235,000, or $0.61 per share, for the same period in 1996. The increase in net earnings for the three month period was primarily due to a $30,000 increase in fees and service charges as a result of a revised fee structure on certain deposit services, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expenses. More detailed comparisons are discussed below. Net Interest Income Net interest income decreased $9,000, for the three months ended March 31, l997 over the comparable period in 1996. The Company's net interest rate spread and net interest margin on interest-earning assets were 2.60% and 2.87%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 2.68% and 2.97% for the comparable period in 1996. Interest income increased by $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996. Average interest-earning assets increased by approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in loans outstanding and securities available for sale. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 7.63% for both the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Interest income would have been approximately $13,000 higher if interest had been collected on the three non-performing multi-family participation loans discussed in the annual Form 10-KSB. These three loans total $874,000, and the lead lender and the Association now have an agreement with the borrower which will bring the loans current by September 1997 if the agreement is complied with. Interest expense increased by $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by approximately $2.8 million for the three months over the comparable period in 1996, due to increases of $1.8 million and $1.0 million in average deposits and borrowings from the FHLB, respectively. The average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 8 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 1997 over the comparable period in 1996. Page 5 MIDWEST BANCSHARES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations (continued) Provision for Losses on Loans The provision for losses on loans was $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The amount of provision was a result of the determination by management to maintain the allowance for losses on loans at an adequate level to absorb potential loan losses. At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company's allowance for losses on loans totaled $698,000 and $651,000, respectively, or 0.84% and 0.85% of total loans, excluding mortgage-backed securities, and 61.28% and 369.89% of total non-performing loans. The latter ratio was impacted by an $874,000 increase in non-performing multi-family loans, primarily due to three multi-family loan which are on non-accrual status. Management does not anticipate a material loss on the resolution of these loan delinquencies as there is now an agreement in place to bring these loans current. The Company had no net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $37,000 of net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Non-interest income Total non-interest income increased by $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to a revised fee structure on certain deposit services. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income was a $9,000 special dividend received from the Association's data processor in February 1997, with no comparable dividend in the three months ended March 31, 1996. Non-interest expense Total non-interest expense increased by $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was primarily composed of increases of $25,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $7,000 in office property and equipment and $33,000 in other expenses. The increased compensation and benefit expense was a result of collecting $9,000 less loan fees to offset the cost of loan production, primarily compensation and benefits, and due to the hiring of a regulatory compliance officer and normal cost of living increases in compensation and benefits. The increase in office property and equipment was primarily a result of the Company's expanded ATM network and computer equipment. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increased marketing expenses related to the expanded ATM network and introduction of a new product, the home equity line of credit, and due to a $7,000 increase in net real estate owned expenses. Partially offsetting these increases was a $57,000 decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums, as a result of the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 which was passed on September 30, 1996. Taxes on Income Taxes on income were $6,000 more for the three months ended March 31, 1997 than the comparable period in 1996. The increase was primarily due to increased taxable income as the effective combined federal and state tax rate remained constant at approximately 37%. Page 6 MIDWEST BANCSHARES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition The Company's total assets at March 31, 1997 were $139.0 million, increasing from $136.4 million at December 31, 1996. The increase was due to an intentional increase in interest-earning assets in an effort to increase net interest income. The increase of approximately $2.6 million was primarily due to the purchase of $4.0 million of securities available for sale, the purchase of $1.1 million of mortgage-backed securities to be held to maturity, and the purchase of $2.0 million in loans receivable, partially offset by principal repayments of $1.6 million from mortgage-backed securities, a net decrease in loans receivable, exclusive of purchased loans, of $0.6 million and a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million. The net increase in total assets was primarily funded by an increase of $2.5 million of deposits. Total stockholders' equity increased $42,000 due to the $247,000 net earnings for the three months less $52,000 in dividends declared, partially offset by the $123,000 change in net unrealized losses on investments available for sale (due to increased market rates of interest) and a $30,000 increase in treasury stock. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits and advances from FHLB, amortization and prepayment of loan principal (including mortgage-backed securities), sales or maturities of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and short-term investments and operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Company generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance, but has from time to time decided not to pay deposit rates that are as high as those of its competitors, and, when necessary, to supplement deposits with longer term and/or less expensive alternative sources of funds. Federal regulations require the Association to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets consisting of cash and other eligible investments. The required percentage is currently 5% of net withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during the preceding calendar quarter. For March 1997, the Association's liquidity ratio was 8.4% compared to 9.8% for December 1996. The decrease was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities which, because of their maturity term, did not qualify as liquid investments and due to the use of liquid assets to fund an increase in the loan portfolio. Assuming market interest rates are stable or decrease, a high level of liquidity may have a negative effect on the Association's interest rate spread due to a larger amount of the Association's assets earning the then-current lower rates of interest. However, a high level of liquidity positions the Association to respond to possible higher interest rates by providing the Association with the ability to deploy liquid assets into higher yielding assets as rates increase. The Association has, and intends to continue to deploy liquid assets by increasing its loan portfolio; however, its ability to do so depends on the loan demand in its market areas, competition for such loans, to the extent they meet the Association's underwriting guidelines, and opportunities for participating in and purchasing loans in nearby markets. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. The Association adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (iv) the objectives of its asset/liability management strategy. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Association requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Page 7 MIDWEST BANCSHARES, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued) The Association anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan and purchase commitments. At March 31, 1997, the Association had outstanding commitments to extend credit totaling $3.0 million and commitments to purchase loans of $0.7 and investments of $2.4 million. At March 31, 1997, the Association had tangible and core capital of $9.0 million, or 6.47% of total adjusted assets which exceeded the regulatory requirements of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, by $6.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The risk-based capital requirement is currently 8% of risk-weighted assets. As of March 31, 1997, the Association had risk-weighted assets of $61.3 million, a risk-based requirement of $4.9 million and risk-based capital of $9.7 million, or 15.77%, which exceeds the requirement by $4.8 million. The Association's regulatory capital information is shown in the table below. Regulatory Capital Table (In thousands) Tangible Core Risk-based Capital Capital Capital ---------------------------------- Association's capital $8,961 $8,961 $8,961 Additional capital - general allowances -- -- 698 ------ ------ ------ Regulatory capital 8,961 8,961 9,659 Minimum capital requirement 2,078 4,155 4,901 ------ ------ ------ Excess regulatory capital $6,883 $4,806 $4,758 ====== ====== ====== The unrealized (loss) appreciation on securities available for sale, which is a component of stockholders' equity, is a result of the implementation of Statement No. 115 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. At March 31, 1997, the net unrealized loss of $71,000, down from a net gain of $52,000 at December 31, 1996, consisted primarily of the net unrealized market loss, net of tax, due to increased market interest rates, on certain GNMA mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Agency securities, and marketable equity securities which have been identified as available for sale by management.
