Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Highlights
During the third quarter of 1997, Triangle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company")
completed its purchase of eight branches of United Carolina Bank and two
branches of Branch Bank & Trust located in south central and eastern North
Carolina (the "Branch Acquisition") with $195 million in deposits and $61
million in loans. This acquisition was accounted for using purchase
accounting.
On October 2, 1997 the Company completed its acquisition of Bank of
Mecklenburg ("Mecklenburg") which operates three branch offices in
Charlotte, North Carolina and had $271 million in total assets as of
September 30, 1997. On October 31, 1997, the Company completed its
acquisition of Coastal Leasing Company ("Coastal"), Greenville, North
Carolina, which had total assets of $13 million as of September 30, 1997.
These acquisitions will be accounted for using the pooling of interests
method of accounting. Since these acquisitions took place after September
30, 1997, they are not included in the attached financial information.
Continuing its growth strategy, on October 16, 1997, the Company announced
the signing of a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the capital
stock of Guaranty State Bancorp ("Guaranty"), parent of Guaranty State
Bank, Durham, North Carolina. As of September 30, 1997, Guaranty had $104
million in total assets. Pending regulatory and Guaranty shareholder
approval, the acquisition is expected to be completed during the second
quarter of 1998. Including the Mecklenburg, Coastal and Guaranty
transactions, the Company will have over $1.6 billion in total assets.
In May 1997, the Company created a Delaware statutory business trust
subsidiary which issued corporation-obligated manditorily redeemable
capital securities ("Trust Securities") in the amount of $19.33 million to
eight qualified institutional buyers, and $619,000 in trust common
securities to the Company, both sales occurring on June 3, 1997. The Trust
Securities have a maturity of 30 years, pay dividends at the rate of
9.375% and may be treated as tier 1 capital by the Company. To fund the
trust, the Company sold to the trust $19.95 million of junior subordinated
notes with a yield and maturity identical to the Trust Securities. Holders
of the Trust Securities are entitled to receive preferential cumulative
cash distributions accumulating from the date of original issuance and
payable semi-annually in
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
arrears on the first day of June and December of each year. The proceeds
from the issuance of the junior subordinated debt are being used for
general corporate purposes.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$3,415,000, compared to earnings of $2,922,000 for the same period in
1996, an increase of $493,000 or 17%. Earnings per share were $0.31
compared to $0.27 for the same period in 1996.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997 the annualized returns on
average assets and equity were 1.22% and 14.56%, respectively compared to
1.23% and 13.95% for the same period in 1996.
The quarterly results include after-tax, non-recurring expenses relating
to mergers and acquisitions of $194,000 and $82,000 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding these charges,
earnings per share were $0.33 and $0.28, return on average assets was
1.29% and 1.26%, and return on average equity was 15.38% and 14.34% for
the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Core earnings for the period were positively impacted by an increase in
net interest income due to an increase in the volume of earning assets.
The net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$11,672,000 compared to $10,369,000 for the same period in 1996 an
increase of $1,303,000 or 13%. The net interest margin was 4.56% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 4.77% for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in margin was due to a
decrease in the yield on earning assets as loan yields declined 12 basis
points and the mix of earning assets reflecting a higher volume of lower
yielding assets than the prior year quarter. The change in the mix of the
earning assets primarily reflects the receipt of funds related the Branch
Acquisition. The Company's strategy is to employ these funds into higher
yielding assets over time. The cost of interest bearing liabilities
increased slightly primarily as a result of the issuance of the Trust
Securities in June 1997.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, a loan loss provision of
$1,040,000 was made compared to a provision of $300,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in provision was made to maintain the loan
loss reserve at appropriate levels due to growth in the loan portfolio.
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$2,401,000 compared to $2,104,000 for the same period in 1996 an increase
of $297,000 or 14%. The increase of noninterest income is due to increases
in almost all categories of noninterest income including service charges
on deposit accounts of $108,000, commissions from the Bank's investment
services subsidiary of $75,000 and gains on asset sales of $90,000.
Noninterest expenses increased by $205,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 or 3%. Increases
were seen in advertising, office expenses and occupancy due to the general
growth of the Company. Amortization expense increased $220,000 due to the
deposit premium from the Branch Acquisition. Professional
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
fees increased due to legal fees associated with general corporate
litigation as well as an increase in outside services such as consulting.
The increases noted above were offset by a decrease in salary expense due
to an increase during the first quarter of 1997 in personnel costs
deferred required by SFAS 91 to more accurately reflect the cost of
originating loans as well as an increase in loan production. This resulted
in a decrease in salaries and employee benefits in 1997 compared to 1996.
A decrease was also seen in other expenses and Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) deposit insurance expense. Other expenses declined for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
1996 due to a recovery of other real estate owned expenses in the third
quarter of 1997, a decline in deposit charge-offs in 1997 and a loss taken
in 1996 for a facility write down.
Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$11,167,000, compared to $8,370,000 for the same period in 1996. This
represents an increase of $2,797,000 or 33%. Earnings per share were $1.02
compared to $0.78 for the same period in 1996.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 the annualized returns on
average assets and equity were 1.44% and 16.56%, respectively, compared to
1.23% and 13.66% for the same period in 1996.
The year to date results include after-tax, non-recurring gains for the
sale of certain branches of $1.3 million and $352,000 and after-tax,
non-recurring expenses relating to mergers and acquisitions of $252,000
and $115,000 for the year to date ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Excluding these charges, earnings per share were $0.92 and
$0.75, return on average assets was 1.31% and 1.19%, and return on average
equity was 15.05% and 13.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.
Core earnings for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 were
positively impacted by an increase in net interest income due to an
increase in the volume of net earning assets which increased by $36
million. The net interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $33,339,000 compared to $29,687,000 for the same period in 1996,
an increase of $3,652,000 or 12%. The net interest margin was 4.67% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 versus 4.75% for the same period
in 1996. The decrease in net margin was due to an increase in the volume
of interest bearing liabilities including the Trust Securities issued in
June 1997 as well the change in the mix of the earning assets reflecting
the receipt of funds related the Branch Acquisition.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a loan loss provision of
$2,370,000 was made compared to a provision of $1,335,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in the provision was made to maintain the
loan loss reserve at an appropriate level due to loan growth.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$8,502,000 compared to $6,680,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase
of $1,822,000 or 27%. The
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
sale of two branch offices in 1997 resulted in a gain of $2,000,000, an
increase of $1,442,000 over the gain on the branch sale in 1996. Increases
were also seen in gains on sales of assets, service charges on deposit
accounts and commissions from the Bank's investment services subsidiary as
the Company has grown and placed greater emphasis on fee income producing
activities.
Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased only $113,000, less than 1%, over the same period in 1996.
Increases were seen in professional fees over the same period in 1996 due
to general corporate litigation as well as an increase in outside service
fees. Merger expenses also increased in 1997 due to the Branch Acquisition
as well as the Mecklenburg acquisition.
Office expenses, advertising and public relations and occupancy expenses
increased due to the increase in the size of the bank. In September 1997,
the bank had 56 branches compared to 40 branches at September 30, 1996.
Amortization expense increased $220,000 due to the deposit premium from
the Branch Acquisition. The increases sighted above were offset by a
decrease in salary expenses due to an increase during the first quarter of
1997 in personnel costs deferred required by SFAS 91 to more accurately
reflect the cost of originating loans as well as loan production
increases. A decrease was also seen in furniture and equipment expense and
FDIC deposit insurance expense.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $235 million or 24%, to $1.20 billion at September
30, 1997 versus $971 million at December 31, 1996. The asset growth was
due to internal growth as well as the purchase in August of $195 million
in deposits and $61 million in loans in the Branch Acquisition.
Specifically, loans increased $137 million, investments increased $65
million and intangible assets (deposit premium) increased $16 million.
These increases were funded by the purchased deposits as well as Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances discussed below.
The Company continued to maintain strong loan loss reserves during the
period with the loan loss reserves at September 30, 1997 being 1.48% of
total loans and 181% of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans to total
loans plus other real estate owned were .82% on September 30, 1997
compared to .66% as of December 31, 1996. Net charge-offs were .19% for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 versus .001% in the same
period in 1996. Even though the Company has experienced increases in
nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, the amounts are well within
industry standards. The primary reason for the increase relates to
increasing bankruptcies on loans which are adequately collateralized. A
summary of certain information related to the loan loss reserves and
nonperforming assets as of September 30, 1997 follows:

Part 1, Item 2 (Continued)
Financial Condition (Continued)
Total deposits were $1.03 billion as of September 30, 1997 compared to
$848 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $179 million or 21%. As
stated above, the Company acquired $195 million in deposits in the Branch
Acquisition to account for this growth. Prior to this acquisition, through
deliberate pricing strategy, deposit growth had been limited and, in June
of 1997, the Company divested of $23.5 million in deposits with the sale
of two branch locations.
Short-term debt and other borrowings increased $27 million from December
31, 1996 to September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily represented by
a $20 million borrowing from the FHLB. Masternotes, a new borrowing
product offered by the Company beginning in February of 1997, had a
balance of $11.5 million as of September 30, 1997 while Federal funds
purchased decreased to $0 from $3.9 million at December 31, 1996.
Capital
The adequacy of capital is reviewed regularly, in light of current plans
and economic conditions, to ensure that sufficient capital is available
for current and future needs, to minimize the Company's cost of capital
and to assure compliance with regulatory requirements. In June 1997, the
Company formed a Delaware business trust subsidiary which issued $20
million in Trust Securities, all of which may be counted as Tier 1 capital
by the Company. The Company considers the Trust Securities, which bear
interest at the rate of 9.375% per annum and have a maturity of 30 years,
to be a relatively inexpensive source of capital. The Company's capital
ratios as of September 30, 1997 were as follows:
Actual Required Excess
Percent Percent Percent
------- ------- -------
Tier 1 Capital to Risk Based Assets 9.77% 4.00% 5.77%
Total Capital to Risk Based Assets 11.02% 8.00% 3.02%

TRIANGLE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
(Unaudited)
1. Financial statement presentation and management representation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of
operations of Triangle Bancorp, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Triangle Bank, Triangle Bank Leasing Corporation and Triangle Capital
Trust. Triangle Capital Trust was formed under Delaware law on May 28,
1997 as a statutory business trust to issue capital securities. Triangle
Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Triangle Investment Services, Inc.
which provides discount brokerage services and Tricorp, Inc. which was
formed under Delaware law on August 25, 1997 and holds certain investment
securities. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts are
eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited. In the
opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. For the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996,
$305,000 and $131,000, respectively, in pre-tax non-recurring expenses
relating to mergers and acquisitions. The results for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of what results will be for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
2. Capital Securities
On June 3, 1997, Triangle Capital Trust issued $20 million in 9.375%,
30-year capital securities. Interest is payable June 1 and December 1 of
each year beginning December 1, 1997. The proceeds of the issuance were
used to acquire 9.375%, 30-year junior subordinated debentures from the
Company. The proceeds of the issuance of the junior subordinated
debentures are being used for general corporate purposes including
financing branch purchases, other acquisitions, repurchase of outstanding
common stock of the Company and investments in or extensions of credit to
subsidiaries.
3. Earnings Per Share
The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" on December 31, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires
the Company to change its method for computing, presenting and disclosing
earnings per share information. Upon adoption, all prior period data
presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 128 for the period ended September 30,
1997, the following computation would have been presented on the
consolidated statements of income:

-------------------------
4. Reporting Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" was issued and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 requires the disclosure of
an amount that represents total comprehensive income and the components of
comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of income. The adoption
of SFAS 130 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Company.
5. Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
In June 1997, SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" was issued and is effective for financial statements
for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131 established
standards for determining an entity's operating segments and the type and
level of financial information to be disclosed in both the annual and
interim financial statements. It also established standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 is not expected to have a material
impact on the financial statements of the Company.
6. Subsequent Event
On October 2, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Bank of
Mecklenburg ("Mecklenburg") headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Mecklenburg is being operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
and had 3 branch offices and $271 million in total assets as of September
30, 1997. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and
accordingly, the Company's future historical consolidated financial
statements will be restated to reflect the accounts and results of
operations of Mecklenburg as if the merger had been effective as of the
earliest period presented. In connection with the acquisition, 1.0 shares
of the Company's stock were issued for each share of Mecklenburg's
outstanding stock or approximately 2.1 million shares.
The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the combined results of
operations of the Company and Mecklenburg as if the acquisition had been
completed as of September 30, 1997.
