NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1996 NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting for instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114 requires that a creditor continue to follow loan classification on the balance sheet unless the creditor receives physical possession of the collateral. The Company had no in-substance foreclosures in foreclosed assets to transfer to nonperforming loans and no related reserve for losses to transfer to the reserve for possible loan losses. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and trends affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. OVERVIEW The Company reported net income of $ 822,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $ 770,000 for the same period of 1995. On a per share basis, the net income was $ 6.85 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $ 6.42 for the same period of 1995. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $ 0 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net interest income decreased 4.2% to $ 2,228,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to $ 2,325,000 for the same period of 1995. Total assets were $ 60,784,000 at September 30, 1996, an increase of $ 2,690,000 from September 30, 1995. Loans increased by $ 1,163,000 or 4.5 % from $ 26,032,000 at September 30, 1995 to $ 27,195,000 at September 30, 1996. Deposits also increased from $ 50,873,00 at September 30, 1995 to $ 52,981,000 at September 30, 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $ 2,228,000, a $ 97,000 decrease from the same period in 1995. Factors contributing to this decrease include an increase in both the average balance and average rate paid on time deposits. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of tax-exempt securities. The overall effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was unfavorable. PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for possible loan losses for both the first nine months of 1996 and 1995. The absence of a provision is the result of continued improvements in asset quality and low net charge offs of loans. As a percentage of outstanding loans, the allowance for possible loan losses was 2.23 % and 2.33 % at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. NONINTEREST INCOME. There has been immaterial variances in noninterest income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The $ 11,000 decrease in noninterest income for the first nine months of 1996 is the result of a $ 13,000 decrease in total service charges on deposit account as compared to the same period of 1995. There were no securities gains in the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first nine months of 1996 noninterest expense decreased $ 51,000 or 3.0% compared to the same period in 1995. Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense, decreased by $ 44,000 or 5.3 % for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Employee medical insurance expense decreased by $ 48,000 for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. This decrease is reflective of a decrease in medical claim experience for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Other expenses decreased by $ 23,000 or 5.5 % for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The most significant variance was a decrease in FDIC assessment expense of $ 53,000 due to a reduction in the FDIC assessment rates. The other categories in non-interest expense experienced normal variations between the first nine months of 1996 and 1995. INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $ 245,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $ 354,000 for the same period of 1995. Upon filing the 1995 federal tax return the company was able to utilize tax credits of $ 96,000 carried forward. These tax credits were included in deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1995, however, a deferred tax valuation reserve was also recorded due to uncertainty of realizable value. 10 FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS. Loans were $ 27,195,000 at September 30, 1996; up by $ 1,163,000 or 4.5 % from September 30, 1995. TABLE I - COMPOSITION OF LOAN PORTFOLIO - --------------------------------------- Sept. 30, 1996 Sept. 30, 1995 -------------- --------------- Commercial, Financial and Agricultural $ 6,093 $ 5,812 Real Estate Construction 348 85 Real Estate Mortgage 16,010 15,857 Consumer Loans 4,793 4,154 Industrial Revenue Bonds 571 746 ------- ------- TOTAL LOANS $27,815 $26,654 Allowance for possible loan losses 620 622 Unearned income 0 0 ------- ------- $27,195 $26,032 ======= ======= SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY. Securities held to maturity were $ 17,028,000 at September 30, 1996; down by $ 1,474,000 from September 30, 1995. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Securities available for sale were $ 6,789,000 at September 30, 1996; up by $ 2,350,000 or 53 % from September 30, 1995. Securities classified as available for sale are primarily mortgage backed securities and municipal securities.

Restructured loans are loans which, due to a deteriorated financial condition of the borrower, have a below market yield. Interest payments received on nonperforming loans are applied to reduce principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. Certain nonperforming loans are current as to principal and interest payments are classified as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full collectibility of both principal and interest. Sept. 30, 1996 Sept. 30, 1995 Non-Performing Loans: -------------- --------------- Loans on Non-Accrual $511 $ 2 Loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, but not on non-accrual 104 8 Loans & leases restructured and in compliance with terms 26 18 ---- --- $641 $28 Other Real Estate and repossessed assets received in complete or partial satisfaction of debt 14 14 ---- --- TOTAL NONPERFORMING ASSETS $655 $42 ==== === Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, which addresses the accounting treatment of certain impaired loans. The Company makes an assessment of impairment when and while loans are on nonaccrual or when the loans are restructured. The Company primarily bases the measurement of impaired loans on the fair value of the collateral reduced by costs to sell. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes impairment by creating or adjusting an existing allocation of the allowance for loan losses. The following table reflects the recorded investment in impaired loans and the related SFAS No. 114 allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1996. Recorded Related Investment in Allowance Impaired Loans for Losses -------------- --------- Impaired loans requiring a SFAS No. 114 allowance: Consumer loans $ 511 $ 170 ============== ========== Total interest income recognized on loans designated as impaired for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $ 8,000. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $218,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 12 TABLE IV - ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - ------------------------------------------------ Sept. 30, 1996 Sept. 30, 1995 -------------- -------------- Beginning balance $624 614 Charge-offs: Commercial, financial and agricultural - - Real estate - construction - - Real estate - mortgage - - Installment loans to individuals 12 6 ---- ----- Total charge-offs 12 6 ---- ----- Recoveries: Commercial, financial and agricultural 5 6 Real estate - construction - - Real estate - mortgage 1 - Installment loans to individuals 2 7 ---- ----- Total recoveries 8 13 ---- ----- Net charge-offs 4 (7) ---- ----- Provision charged against income - - ---- ----- Balance at end of period $620 621 ==== ===== Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period 0.01% (.03%) ==== ===== The present level of the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to absorb future potential loan losses. In making this determination, management considered asset quality, the level of net loan charge-offs, as well as current economic conditions and market trends. TABLE V - ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - ----------------------------------------------------- The allowance for possible loan losses has been allocated according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within the following categories of loans.

As of September 30, 1996 total deposits have increased by $ 2,108,000 or 4.1% from September 30, 1995. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased by $ 1,776,000 or 10.9 % from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996. Interest bearing deposits increased by $ 3,884,000 or 11.2 % from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996. CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $ 7,540,000 at September 30, 1996, compared to $ 6,671,000 at September 30, 1995. The increase is primarily the result of net income over the most recent 12 months. Risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and the bank subsidiary exceed the ratios required for the designation as a "well-capitalized" institution under regulatory guidelines. TABLE VI - CAPITAL RATIOS - ------------------------- September 30, ---------------------------- AMERICAN BANK & TRUST COMPANY 1996 1995 (Bank subsidiary) ------------- -------------- Risk-based capital: Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 24.24% 22.17% Total risk-based capital ratio 25.50% 23.42% Leverage ratio 12.40% 11.00% INSIDERS. Directors, executive officers and 10 % shareholders and their related interest had loans outstanding totaling $ 1,544,000 at September 30, 1996. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. In the normal course of business, the bank becomes involved in legal proceedings. It is the opinion of management that the resulting liability, if any, for pending litigation is negligible. 14 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized to sign on behalf of the registrant.
