Eagle BancGroup, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and therefore do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. 2. Earnings Per Share and Dividends Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 1,094,920 and 1,199,753 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding of 1,107,838 and 1,200,849 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Common share equivalents assume exercise of stock instruments and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market price for the period. The Company has not yet paid any dividends. 3. Comprehensive Income The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which requires disclosure of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The Company has included this disclosure in the statements of income. Comprehensive income consists of the net income or loss of the entity plus or minus the change in equity of the entity during the period fom the transaction, other events and circumstances resulting from non-owner sources. The statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 has been restated to include disclosure of comprehensive income for the period. Eagle BancGroup, Inc. Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL: Eagle BancGroup, Inc. (the 'Company') recorded net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of $201,000, or $0.18 per share, compared to net income of $126,000, or $0.10 per share, for the same period in 1997. The increase in net income resulted primarily from an increase in gains on loans sold in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income was $1,036,000 in the first quarter of 1998 compared to $1,011,000 in the same period in 1997. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company obtained $9,000,000 in new FHLB advances for the purpose of repaying $7,000,000 of FHLB advances that mature in the second quarter of 1998. The new advances carry interest rates well below the rates on the maturing advances. The advance proceeds were temporarily invested in short-term securities which resulted in an increase in average interest- earning assets to $171,648,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $163,979,000 in the same period in 1997. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased to $155,140,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $146,371,000 in the same period in 1997. The increase in the advance portfolio and the short-term investment of the proceeds resulted in a decrease in the net interest margin, net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, to 2.45% in the first quarter of 1998 from 2.50% in the same period in 1997. The interest rate spread, the yield on average interest-earning assets less the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities, was 1.93% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1.92% in the same period in 1997. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 7.31% and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was 5.38% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 7.36% and 5.44%, respectively, in the first quarter of 1997. The Company continued to restructure the interest-earning asset and interest- bearing liability portfolio, in addition to the changes related to the new advances, in the first quarter of 1998. Originations of commercial, commercial real estate and direct consumer loans, primarily home equity loans, increased to $11,000,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $3,400,000 in the same period of 1997. Mortgage originations increased to $25,700,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $15,100,000 in the same period in 1997. Loans sold in the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $19,700,000 compared to $1,500,000 in the same period in 1997. Since the third quarter of 1997, the Company has sold most residential mortgage originations in the secondary market. At March 31, 1998, loans totaling $660,000 were contractually past due 90 days or more and were classified as non-accrual. No interest income is accrued on such loans and income is only recognized upon cash receipt. Cash interest payments of $11,000 were included in interest income in the first quarter of 1998 related to these loans. Additional income of $18,000 would have accrued had these loans not been past due 90 days or more. No other loans were past due 90 days or more at March 31, 1998. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS: The provision for loan loss was $60,000 in both the first quarter of 1998 and 1997. The amount of the provision is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed adequate to absorb future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. At March 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was $942,000, or .77% of total loans compared to $935,000, or .76% of total loans, at December 31, 1997. In the first quarter of 1998, loans totaling $58,000 were charged against the allowance while $4,000 was added to the allowance from recoveries of loans previously charged off. Non-performing loans, consisting entirely of non-accrual loans, were $660,000, or .54% of total loans, at March 31, 1998. NON-INTEREST INCOME: Non-interest income increased to $319,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $99,000 in the same period in 1997 due to the increase in gains on sales of loans in 1998. Loans sold increased over $18,000,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from the same period in 1997 resulting in an increase in gains on loans sold to $237,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $17,000 in the first quarter of 1997. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE: Non-interest expense increased to $984,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $859,000 in the same period in 1997 due primarily to salaries and employee benefits, which increased to $568,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $479,000 in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to staff increases, higher costs related to employee benefit programs and other normal increases in employee costs. Federal deposit insurance expense increased to $20,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $4,000 in the first quarter of 1997 due to a one-time special premium credit in 1997. Other non-interest expense increased to $191,000 in the first quarter of 1998 from $173,000 in the first quarter of 1997 due primarily to increased advertising in 1998. INCOME TAX EXPENSE: The provision for income taxes increased to $110,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $65,000 in the same period in 1997 due to the increase in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 35% and 34% in the first quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased to $180,211,000 at March 31, 1998 from $171,137,000 and December 31, 1997 due primarily to the new FHLB advances obtained in the first quarter and investment of the proceeds. FHLB advances increased to $26,000,000 at March 31, 1998 from $18,000,000 at December 31, 1997 while investment and mortgage-backed securities increased to $46,861,000 at March 31, 1998 from $37,633,000 at December 31, 1997. Net loans decreased to $121,137,000 at March 31, 1998 from $122,409,000 at December 31, 1997 as increases in commercial and consumer loans were offset by a decrease in mortgage loans, which resulted from the refinance of portfolio loans that were subsequently sold in the secondary market. Deposits increased slightly to $132,105,000 at March 31, 1998 from $131,452,000 at December 31, 1997 due to increased demand deposits. Stockholders' equity increased to $20,670,000, or 11.5% of total assets, at March 31, 1998 from $20,305,000, or 11.9% of total assets, at December 31, 1997. The increase in stockholders' equity was due to first quarter net income and a reduction in the net unrealized loss on investments from year end to March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1998, the Company's savings institution subsidiary had a risk-based capital to risk weighted assets ratio of 16.01%, a core capital to tangible assets ratio of 9.61% and a tangible core capital to adjusted tangible assets ratio of 9.61%. At December 31, 1997, these ratios were 16.30%, 9.99% and 9.99%, respectively. Regulatory minimum levels for these ratios are 8.00%, 3.00% and 1.50%, respectively. The Company's savings institution subsidiary must also maintain a minimum 4% liquidity ratio measured as the ratio of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and certain long-term investments to deposits and certain borrowed funds. At March 31, 1998, the liquidity ratio was 14.66% compared to 12.07% at December 31, 1997. Funds committed for loan originations and loans in process totaled $1,325,000 and unused lines of credit totaled $3,652,000 at March 31, 1998. Funds to meet these commitments are available from cash and cash equivalents, scheduled principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities, new deposits and borrowed funds. Funds are primarily invested in residential mortgage, commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities and are also used for deposit interest payments, maturities and withdrawals.
