AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS -------------------- Emerald Financial Corp. (Emerald or Company) is a unitary thrift holding company formed in 1996 which became the parent company of The Strongsville Savings Bank (Strongsville or Bank) on March 6, 1997, through a tax-free exchange of shares of Strongsville for shares of Emerald. The Company's primary holding is The Strongsville Savings Bank. The Bank conducts its principal activities from its Community Financial Centers located in southwestern Cuyahoga, Lorain and Medina counties. The Bank's principal activities include residential lending and retail banking. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Emerald and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Strongsville Savings Bank and Emerald Development Corp. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996; (b) the financial condition at September 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996; and (c) the statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain prior period data has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. 3. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS ------------------------ For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, Emerald considers all cash and deposits with banks with maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE ------------------ Primary and diluted earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of shares of capital stock and capital stock equivalents outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of shares of capital stock outstanding has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effective May 15, 1997 for shareholders of record on May 1, 1997. 5 7 5. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ------------------------ STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, was effective January 1, 1997. SFAS 125 amends portions of SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, amends and extends to all servicing assets and liabilities the accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights provided by SFAS No. 65, and supersedes SFAS No. 122. SFAS No. 125 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings based on a financial-components approach. Under the financial-components approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 127 defers the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 until January 1, 1998, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 1997 the FASB issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS previously found in Accounting Principles Board 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. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. In February 1997 the FASB also issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 129, Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure. This statement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. It supersedes specific disclosure requirements of APB Opinions No. 10, Omnibus Opinion-1966, and No. 15, Earning Per Share, and FASB Statement No. 47, Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations, and consolidates them in this statement for ease of retrieval and for greater visibility to nonpublic entities. SFAS No. 129 is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. It contains no changes in disclosure requirements for entities that were previously subject to the requirements of Opinions 10 and 15 and Statement 47 and, therefore, is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 6 8 In June 1997, the FASB issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general- purpose financial statments. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. 7 9 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 1996 (a) 1997 1996 (a) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unaudited (Dollars in thousands, except per-share data) ANNUALIZED RETURNS AND OPERATING RATIOS Earnings per share - primary $ 0.31 $ 0.24 $ 0.90 $ 0.72 Earnings per share - fully diluted 0.30 $ 0.24 0.87 0.72 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 5,065,383 5,061,600 5,062,875 5,061,600 Common stock equivalents 5,252,275 5,099,344 5,249,767 5,099,344 Dividends per share $ 0.06 $ 0.06 $ 0.18 $ 0.175 Return on Average Assets 1.04% 0.91% 1.02% 0.95% Return on Average Equity 13.68% 11.49% 13.50% 11.55% Noninterest expense to average assets 1.51% 1.77% 1.53% 1.81% Efficiency ratio 48.79% 56.98% 49.20% 56.66% OTHER SELECTED FINANCIAL RATIOS Interest rate spread 2.48% 2.56% 2.53% 2.65% Net yield on interest-earning assets 2.84% 2.93% 2.89% 3.03% Yield on average interest-earning assets 7.76% 7.74% 7.74% 7.80% Cost of average interest-bearing liabilities 5.28% 5.18% 5.21% 5.15% Non-performing loans to total loans 0.31% 0.51% 0.31% 0.51% Non-performing assets to total assets 0.24% 0.42% 0.24% 0.42% Net recoveries (charge-offs) to average loans 0.00% -0.02% 0.00% -0.02% Capital ratios of thrift subsidiary: Tangible capital ratio 7.52% 7.61% 7.52% 7.61% Core capital ratio 7.52% 7.61% 7.52% 7.61% Risk-based capital ratio 12.65% 12.77% 12.65% 12.77% Shareholders' Equity per share $ 9.28 $ 8.53 $ 9.28 $ 8.53 Tangible Equity per share 9.13 8.39 9.13 8.39 Average total assets 603,756 535,617 592,043 515,775 Average loans, net (includes held for sale) 458,261 416,668 446,754 383,679 Average interest-earning assets 590,068 522,241 579,156 502,378 Average deposits 520,151 466,385 511,535 448,766 Average advances from the FHLB 30,063 18,313 27,997 17,086 Average shareholders' equity 46,093 42,622 44,945 42,193 Annualized asset growth 0.27% 9.83% 8.46% 13.57% <FN> (a) The effect of the one-time SAIF premium assessed on September 30, 1996 is excluded from all relevant calculations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996. 8 10 Part I, Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL - ------- Emerald Financial Corp. (Emerald or Company), a unitary thrift holding company, became the holding company of The Strongsville Savings Bank (Strongsville or Bank) in a tax-free exchange of shares of the Bank for shares of Emerald on March 6, 1997. As a result, Emerald owns and operates the Bank. All references to the Company or Emerald, unless otherwise indicated, refer to the Bank and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis. Strongsville was founded in 1961 as an Ohio-chartered, federally insured savings association whose business activities are concentrated in the greater Cleveland, Ohio area. The Company conducts its business through its home office in Strongsville and its thirteen additional full-service Community Financial Centers located in Cuyahoga, Lorain and Medina counties. The Company formed Emerald Development Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary, on June 3,1997. The development company was formed to take advantage of opportunities to develop real estate as well as to enter into joint real estate development ventures in the future. The Company's principal business has historically been attracting deposits from the general public and making loans secured by first mortgage liens on residential and other real estate. The Bank and the banking industry in general are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, the general level and trend of interest rates as well as by government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------------------------------- Emerald's total assets were $603.5 million at September 30, 1997, representing an increase of $36.0 million, or 8.46%, annualized, for the nine month period and $61.3 million, or 11.3% for the twelve month period ended September 30, 1997. The increase in assets was primarily concentrated in the loan portfolio. Emerald's loan portfolio increased $43.4 million during the nine months and $42.7 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 1997. The increases in loans were funded primarily by increases in deposits. The Company's deposits were $522.7 million at September 30, 1997, representing an increase of $29.2 million, or 7.8% during the nine month period and $48.1 million, or 10.1% for the twelve month period ended September 30, 1997. Net interest income was $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $0.4 million over the third quarter of 1996. The increase in interest-earning assets, partially offset by a reduction in interest rate spread, caused the improvement. 9 11 Average interest-earning assets increased $67.9 million from $522.2 million for the third quarter of 1996 to $590.1 million for the third quarter of 1997. The Bank's interest rate spread decreased 8 basis points from 2.56% during the third quarter of 1996 to 2.48% during the third quarter of 1997. Net income for the third quarter of 1997, at $1.6 million, was $0.4 million more than the $1.2 million for the same period in 1996, as adjusted. The third quarter 1996 net income was adjusted for the effect of the one-time SAIF premium assessed on September 30, 1996, an after-tax charge to income of $1.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net interest income. Net interest income was $12.5 million for the first nine months of 1997, an increase of $1.1 million over the first nine months of 1996. The increase in interest-earning assets, partially offset by a reduction in interest rate spread, caused the improvement. Average interest-earning assets increased $76.8 million from $502.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $579.2 million for the like period in 1997. The Bank's interest rate spread decreased 12 basis points from 2.65% during the first nine months of 1996 to 2.53% during the like period in 1997. Net income for the first three quarters of 1997, at $4.5 million, was $0.9 million more than the $3.6 million for the same period in 1996, as adjusted. 1996 net income was adjusted for the effect of the one-time SAIF premium assessed on September 30, 1996, an after-tax charge to income of $1.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the increase in net interest income. 10 12 Tables 1(a) and 1(b) present information regarding the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and their average yields and the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and their average rates. Table 1 also presents net interest income, interest-rate spread, net interest margin and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of average interest-earning assets. Average balance calculations were based on daily and monthly balances.

Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1997 - ---------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Net interest income: Current period $ 4,189 $ 12,535 Prior period 3,830 11,406 - ---------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- -------------------------------- Dollar change from prior period $ 359 $ 1,129 ============================================== ================================= ================================ Percent change from prior period 9.37% 9.90% ============================================== ================================= ================================ Interest income - --------------- Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997, was $11.5 million, compared to $10.1 million for the third quarter of 1996, an increase of $1.4 million or 13.27%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets as demonstrated on Table 2(a). Average interest-earning assets increased to $590.1 million for the third quarter of 1997 from $522.2 million for the third quarter of 1996. The effect of the increase in interest-earning assets was enhanced by the 2 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.76% for the third quarter of 1997 from 7.74% for the like period in 1996. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $33.6 million, compared to $29.4 million for the like period in 1996, an increase of $4.2 million or 14.42%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets as demonstrated on Table 2(b). Average interest-earning assets increased to $579.2 million for the first nine months of 1997 from $502.4 million for the first nine months of 1996. The effect of the increase in interest-earning assets was offset somewhat by the 6 basis point decline in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.74% for the first three quarters of 1997 from 7.80% for the like period in 1996. Interest expense - ---------------- Interest expense increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $65.5 million, or 13.52%, combined with an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $550.2 million 14 16 and $484.7 million for the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 10 basis points to 5.28% for the third quarter of 1997 from 5.18% for the same period in 1996. Interest expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $73.6 million, or 15.82%, combined with an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $539.5 million and $465.9 million for the first three quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 6 basis points to 5.21% for the first three quarters of 1997 from 5.15% for the same period in 1996. Provision for loan losses - ------------------------- The provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, were $108,000 and $277,000, respectively; compared to $285,000 and $313,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1996. The provisions for all periods were commensurate with management's estimate of the credit risk in the loan portfolio. Economic conditions in the Bank's market area were stable. Further discussion and other information relating to loan losses and nonperforming assets are included in the section titled "Asset Quality." NONINTEREST INCOME - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Noninterest income: Current period $ 598 $ 1,529 Prior period 745 1,655 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dollar change from prior period $(147) $ ( 126) =============================================================================================================== Percent change from prior period (19.75)% (7.60)% =============================================================================================================== Noninterest income consists primarily of fees earned for servicing loans, providing services for customers and from gains on loan sales. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily due to decreased gains on sales of assets. The Company realized a gain on sale of a building in September 1996 of $290,000. Fee based income increased $134,000 for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1996. Fee based income increased $276,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the like period in 1996. 15 17 NONINTEREST EXPENSE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Noninterest expense: Current period $ 2,287 $ 6,857 Prior period, excluding the one-time SAIF premium 2,401 7,116 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dollar change from prior period $ (114) $ (259) ============================================================================================================== Percent change from prior period (4.79)% (3.65)% ============================================================================================================= The decrease in noninterest expense is primarily due to the reduction in the federal deposit insurance premium from 23(cent) per $100 of deposits during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, to 6.5(cent) per $100 of deposits for the same periods in 1997. Management is pleased with the efficiency ratio of 48.79%, which has improved from the 56.98% for the third quarter of 1996. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company provided $815,000 and $2,381,000 for federal income tax during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively; compared to the $(179,000) and $1,132,000 provided for federal income taxes during the like periods in 1996. Net income before the provision for federal income taxes increased for the compared periods resulting in a corresponding increase in the provision for federal income taxes. FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, maturities of investment securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, FHLB advances and funds generated through earnings. The primary uses for such funds are to originate loans, maintain liquidity requirements and manage interest rate risk. For an analysis of Emerald's cash flows, refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 3. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements. The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to 5% of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable accounts and borrowed funds due in one year or less. The Bank's September 1997 monthly average of eligible liquid assets was 6.91%. 16 18 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' equity was $47.1 million at September 30, 1997, an increase of $3,923,000, or 9.09%, annualized, during the first three quarters of 1997. This increase was primarily the result of net income offset by dividends paid. Emerald paid dividends in the first three quarters of 1997 of 18(cent) per share, an increase of 2.86% over the 17.5(cent) per share dividend paid in the like period in 1996. The Company's return on average assets was 1.02% and return on average equity was 13.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997, the Company's primary subsidiary, The Strongsville Savings Bank, was in excess of all capital requirements specified by federal regulations as shown by the following table. TANGIBLE CAPITAL CORE CAPITAL RISK-BASED CAPITAL ----------------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) Capital amount -- Actual $ 45,255 $45,255 $ 46,938 Capital amount -- Required 9,027 18,055 29,692 =========================================================== Amount in excess of requirement $36,228 $27,200 $17,246 =========================================================== Capital ratio -- Actual 7.52% 7.52% 12.65% Capital ratio -- Required 1.50% 3.00% 8.00% ----------------------------------------------------------- Amount in excess of requirement 6.02% 4.52% 4.65% =================================================-========= Strongsville Savings' capital levels at September 30, 1997, qualify it as a "well-capitalized" institution, the highest of five tiers under applicable federal definitions. QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Savings associations insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are required to maintain 65% of total portfolio assets in Qualified Thrift Investments. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank had 84.26% of total assets invested in Qualified Thrift Investments. 17 19 ASSET QUALITY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 3 sets forth information regarding non-performing assets at September 30, 1997, December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996. -
