Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Subsidiaries (tables in thousands) Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. Prior period financial information has been restated for the merger with Overton Bancshares, Inc. ("Overton") which was consummated in the second quarter of 1998 and accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests" transaction. Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Corporation and Overton at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Allowance for Possible Loan Losses An analysis of the transactions in the allowance for possible loan losses is presented below. The amount charged to operating expense is based on management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance to absorb future possible loan losses. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Nine Months Ended September 30 -------------------- (in thousands) 1998 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> Balance at beginning of the period $48,073 $42,821 Provision for possible loan losses 7,734 6,869 Loan loss reserve of acquired institutions 1,250 2,105 Net charge-offs: Losses charged to the allowance (9,690) (6,965) Recoveries 4,626 2,904 ------- ------- Net (charge-offs) (5,064) (4,061) ------- ------- Balance at the end of period $51,993 $47,734 ======= ======= </TABLE> Impaired Loans A loan within the scope of SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. At September 30, 1998, the majority of the impaired loans were real estate loans and collectibility was measured based on the fair value of the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectibility of the principal amount is fully assured, in which case interest is recognized on the cash basis. Interest revenue recognized on impaired loans as of September 30, 1998 and 1997 was $70,000 and $14,000, respectively. The total allowance for possible loan losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 114 and activity related to other loan loss allowances determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5.
The following is a summary of loans considered to be impaired: <TABLE> <CAPTION> September 30 ------------------- (in thousands) 1998 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> Impaired loans with no valuation reserve $2,642 $1,348 Impaired loans with a valuation reserve 2,798 3,053 ------ ------ Total recorded investment in impaired loans $5,440 $4,401 ====== ====== Average recorded investment in impaired loans $6,577 $5,551 Valuation reserve 1,646 1,833 </TABLE> Earnings Per Common Share In accordance with SFAS 128, the reconciliation of earnings per share follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30 September 30 ------------------------ ------------------------ 1998 1997 1998 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Numerators for both basic and diluted earnings per share, net income $21,998,000 $18,895,000 $52,867,000 $54,020,000 =========== =========== =========== =========== Denominators: Denominators for basic earnings per share, average outstanding common shares 26,654,524 26,391,690 26,532,414 26,544,187 Dilutive effect of stock options 710,508 896,801 769,620 831,320 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share 27,365,032 27,288,491 27,302,034 27,375,507 =========== =========== =========== =========== Earnings per share: Basic $ .83 $ .72 $ 1.99 $ 2.04 Diluted .80 .69 1.94 1.97 </TABLE> Capital The table below reflects various measures of regulatory capital at September 30, 1998 and 1997. As a result of the Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc. acquisition in January 1998 and the Corporation's stock repurchase program, which expired during the second quarter of 1998, all the regulatory capital ratios are down when compared to the third quarter of 1997. <TABLE> <CAPTION> September 30, 1998 September 30, 1997 ------------------- ------------------- Capital Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Risk-Based Tier 1 Capital $ 493,553 12.26% $ 461,179 13.34% Tier 1 Capital Minimum requirement 160,989 4.00 138,314 4.00 Total Capital $ 543,884 13.51% $ 504,458 14.59% Total Capital Minimum requirement 321,978 8.00 276,628 8.00 Risk-adjusted assets, net of goodwill $4,024,731 $3,457,847 Leverage ratio 7.96% 8.20% Average equity as a percentage of average assets 7.65 7.87 </TABLE> The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") established five capital tiers for depository institutions and final rules relating to these tiers were adopted by the federal banking agencies. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Corporation's subsidiary banks were considered "well capitalized" as defined by FDICIA, the highest rating, and the Corporation's capital ratios were in excess of "well capitalized" levels. A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0 percent or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater, and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific level for any capital measure. The Corporation is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Bank. Regulators can initiate certain mandatory actions, if the Corporation fails to meet the minimum requirements, that could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. The Corporation and its subsidiary banks currently exceed all minimum capital requirements. During the second quarter of 1998, the shareholders of the Corporation voted to increase authorized common shares to 90 million from 60 million and to reduce the par value of the Corporation's common stock from $5 to $.01 per share. Income Taxes The tax expense for the third quarter of 1998 was $11,728,000. This amount consisted of current tax expense of $13,400,000 and deferred tax benefit of $1,672,000. Year-to-date tax expense is $30,545,000, consisting of current tax expense of $34,341,000 and deferred tax benefit of $3,796,000. Net deferred tax assets were $7,774,000 with no valuation allowance. The deferred tax assets were supported by taxes paid in prior years. The tax expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $10,107,000. Income tax payments for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997 were $30,421,000 and $26,916,000, respectively. Merger and Acquisitions On May 29, 1998, the Corporation completed the merger of Overton Bancshares, Inc., in Fort Worth, Texas, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Overton Bank & Trust, N.A. The merger, which was accounted for as a "pooling-of- interests" transaction, is the Corporation's first entry into the Fort Worth market. With the merger, the Corporation has twelve locations in Fort Worth/Arlington and two in Dallas. The Corporation issued approximately 4.38 million common shares as part of this transaction. As a result of the transaction, the Corporation recorded a merger related charge of $12.2 million primarily consisting of severance payments and investment banking fees. In addition, shortly after the merger was consummated the Corporation reclassified approximately $116 million of held to maturity securities of Overton Bancshares, Inc. to available for sale securities. On January 2, 1998, the Corporation paid approximately $55.3 million to acquire Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc., including its subsidiary Harrisburg Bank in Houston, Texas. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase with total cash consideration being funded through currently available funds. The purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Such estimates may be subsequently revised. The Corporation acquired loans of approximately $125 million and deposits of approximately $222 million. Total intangibles associated with the acquisition amounted to approximately $34.2 million. This acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's 1998 net income. On March 7, 1997, the Corporation paid approximately $32.2 million to acquire Corpus Christi Bancshares, Inc., including its subsidiary Citizens State Bank, based in Corpus Christi, Texas. Total intangibles associated with the acquisition were approximately $20.9 million. The Corporation acquired loans of approximately $108 million and deposits of approximately $184 million. This acquisition did not have a material impact on the Corporation's 1997 net income. Pending Acquisition On October 9, 1998, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Keller State Bank, including its three banking offices located in Tarrant County, which have deposits of approximately $65 million and loans of $38 million. The Corporation agreed to pay approximately $18.65 million. The acquisition is expected to be completed by early 1999 following shareholder and regulatory approval. This transaction will be accounted for as a purchase with total cash consideration being funded through internal sources. Accounting Changes As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130). SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the Corporation's net income or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the Corporation's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity to be included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130.
Comprehensive income was $29,756,000 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $21,261,000 for the third quarter of 1997. For the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income was composed of net income of $21,998,000 and $18,895,000, respectively, and unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $7,758,000 and $2,366,000, respectively, net of tax and reclassification adjustment. Comprehensive income was $60,525,000 (including merger related charge) for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $55,703,000 for the first nine months of 1997. (See Statement of Changes in Shareholder's Equity on page 4) For the first nine months of 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income was composed of net income of $52,867,000 and $54,020,000, respectively, and unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $7,658,000 and $1,683,000, respectively, net of tax and reclassification adjustment. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131). The statement establishes standards for the method that public entities use to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographical areas and major customers. The provisions of SFAS No. 131 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Adoption in interim financial statements is not required until the year after initial adoption; however, comparative prior year information is required. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on the disclosures included in its annual and interim period financial statements. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No.132, "Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits." This statement revises employer's disclosures about pension and other post retirement benefit plans but does not change the measure of recognition of those plans. The statement standardizes the disclosure requirements to the extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets that will aid financial analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer useful. SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Interim period application in the year of adoption is not required. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on the disclosures included in its annual financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement requires that all derivatives be marked-to-market on an on-going basis. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. These market value adjustments are to be included either in the income statement or stockholders' equity, depending on the nature of the transaction. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management has not completed its review of SFAS No. 133, and has not determined the impact, if any, that adoption of this statement will have on the Corporation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Review Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Subsidiaries (taxable-equivalent basis - tables in thousands) Results of Operations The results of operations are included in the material that follows. During the second quarter of 1998 the Corporation completed the merger with Overton Bancshares, Inc., ("Overton") which was accounted for using the "pooling-of-interests" accounting method. Historical amounts have been restated to reflect the merger. In addition, the Corporation completed an acquisition during the first quarter of 1998 and one in 1997. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchase transactions, and as such, their related results of operations are included in the financial information that follows from the date of acquisition. The merger and acquisitions are outlined in the footnotes to the financial statements on page eight. All balance sheet figures are presented in averages unless otherwise noted. Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. reported net income of $22.0 million or $.80 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $18.9 million or $.69 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 1997. After-tax operating earnings resulted in $21.0 million or $.77 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 1998 which exclude the merger related charge of $12.2 million before tax associated with the merger of Overton. Return on average assets and average equity increased to 1.38 percent and 17.76 percent for the third quarter of 1998. Reported net income for the nine months ending September 30, 1998 was $52.9 million or $1.94 per diluted common share. After-tax operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $62.4 million or $2.28 per diluted common share compared to $54.0 million or $1.97 per diluted common share for the same period of 1997. Operating earnings exclude the after-tax impact of the merger related charge. Operating return on average assets and average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased to 1.32 percent and 17.29 percent compared to 1.29 percent and 16.39 percent for 1997. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Summary of Operations ------------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended --------------------------- September 30 1998 1997 ----------------- ------------------ ------- 1998 1997 Sept 30 June 30 Sept 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Taxable-equivalent net interest income $199,802 $175,321 $68,430 $66,869 $60,204 Taxable-equivalent adjustment 1,852 1,445 760 647 502 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Net interest income 197,950 173,876 67,670 66,222 59,702 Provision for possible loan losses 7,734 6,869 2,555 2,600 2,303 Non-Interest income: Net gain on securities transactions 211 22 67 71 6 Other 104,264 89,892 35,942 34,933 30,855 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total non-interest income 104,475 89,914 36,009 35,004 30,861 Non-Interest expense: Intangible amortization 10,007 8,891 3,299 3,360 3,062 Merger related charges 12,244 12,244 Other 189,028 164,593 64,099 63,424 56,196 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total non-interest expense 211,279 173,484 67,398 79,028 59,258 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Income before income taxes 83,412 83,437 33,726 19,598 29,002 Income Taxes 30,545 29,417 11,728 8,142 10,107 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- Net Income $ 52,867 $ 54,020 $21,998 $11,456 $18,895 ======== ======== ======= ======= ======= Net income per diluted common share:$ 1.94 $ 1.97 $ .80 $ .42 $ .69 Return on Average Assets 1.12% 1.29% 1.38% .73% 1.31% Return on Average Equity 14.65 16.39 17.76 9.51 16.68 </TABLE>
Net Interest Income Net interest margin was 5.01 percent for the third quarter of 1998 compared to 4.96 percent and 4.88 percent for the second quarter of 1998 and third quarter of 1997, respectively. The net interest spread of 4.07 percent increased 1 basis point from the second quarter of 1998 and 9 basis points from the third quarter of 1997. The increases in net interest margin and spread from the second quarter of 1998 and the third quarter of 1997 were due to strong loan growth and a redeployment of investable funds out of Federal funds sold and into investment securities, as well as, restructuring of the investment portfolio. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Change in Net Interest Income (Taxable Equivalent) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Quarter Third Quarter Year-to-Date 1998 1998 1998 vs. vs. vs. Third Quarter Second Quarter Year-to-Date 1997 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Amount Amount - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Due to volume $ 9,106 $ 1,343 $27,178 Due to interest rate spread (880) 218 (2,697) ------- ------- ------- $ 8,226 $ 1,561 $24,481 ======= ======= ======= </TABLE> Non-Interest Income Growth in non-interest income was favorably impacted by the acquisitions of Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc. and Corpus Christi Bancshares, Inc. in the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------------ September 30 1998 1997 ------------------ -------------------- ------- Non-Interest Income 1998 1997 Sept 30 June 30 Sept 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Trust fees $ 35,420 $32,427 $11,759 $11,625 $11,473 Service charges on deposit accounts 39,791 35,219 14,218 13,118 12,156 Other service charges, collection and exchange charges, commissions and fees 11,621 8,341 4,088 3,948 3,041 Net gain on securities transactions 211 22 67 71 6 Other 17,432 13,905 5,877 6,242 4,185 -------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total $104,475 $89,914 $36,009 $35,004 $30,861 ======== ======= ======= ======= ======= </TABLE> For the third quarter 1998... Total non-interest income was up $1.0 million, an increase of 11.5 percent annualized, compared to the second quarter of 1998 and up $5.1 million, an increase of 16.7 percent compared to the third quarter of 1997. Trust fee income increased $134,000 or 4.6 percent annualized compared to last quarter and increased $286,000 or 2.5 percent from the third quarter of 1997. Trust fees have increased even though general market conditions have been volatile throughout 1998. The market value of trust assets at the end of the third quarter of 1998 was $11.1 billion compared to $11.9 billion at the end of the second quarter and $10.5 billion a year ago. Service charges on deposit accounts for the second quarter of 1998 increased $1.1 million or 33.5 percent annualized from the second quarter of this year and $2.1 million or 17.0 percent from the third quarter of 1997. Most of these increases occurred as the result of some fee increases and broad based deposit growth that generated increases in overdraft charges, cash management fees on commercial and individual deposits, as well as increases in ATM income. Other service charges were up $140,000 or 14.2 percent annualized for the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1998 and $1 million or 34.4 percent from the same quarter a year ago. The cash accelerator product (accounts receivable factoring), as well as mutual fund and origination fees, continued to lead the way in growth in this category of non-interest income. Other non-interest income decreased $365,000 from the second quarter of this year and increased $1.7 million or 40.4 percent compared to the third quarter of 1997. The third quarter of 1998 was down in comparison to the second quarter due to a non-recurring recovery of $936,000 on a loan that was carried at a discount which was recognized in the second quarter. In comparing to the third quarter a year ago the $1.7 million increase is due primarily to gains on the disposition of foreclosed assets, Visa check card income, and marketing gains on the sale of student and mortgage loans offset by a decrease in mineral interest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998... Non-interest income was up $14.6 million or 16.2 percent compared to the same period last year. Trust income increased $3.0 million or 9.2 percent from the same period a year ago. Trust fee income has increased even though general market conditions have been volatile throughout 1998. The market value of trust assets have increased to $11.1 billion at the third quarter compared to $10.5 billion a year ago. The growth in market assets was supported by growth in the number of accounts as well. Service charges on deposits increased $4.6 million or 13.0 percent compared to the same period one year ago. Some fee increases and broad based deposit growth generated increases in overdraft charges, cash management fees on commercial deposits, as well as increases in ATM income. Other service charge income increased $3.3 million or 39.3 percent from the same period last year. Primary contributors to this growth were the cash accelerator product (accounts receivable factoring), mutual fund fees and origination fees. Other income was up $3.5 million or 25.4 percent relative to the same period last year. Main contributors were gains on the disposition of foreclosed assets, Visa check card income, marketing gains on the sale of student and mortgage loans, as well as, mineral interest income. Non-Interest Expense The acquisitions of Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc., and Corpus Christi Bancshares, Inc., in the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, impacted the growth in expenses. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------------ September 30 1998 1997 ------------------ ------------------- ------- Non-Interest Expense 1998 1997 Sept 30 June 30 Sept 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Salaries and wages $ 82,609 $ 72,217 $27,645 $27,757 $25,236 Pension and other employee benefits 16,405 14,857 5,345 5,462 4,715 Net occupancy of banking premises 18,760 16,818 6,540 6,112 5,753 Furniture and equipment 13,956 11,725 4,868 4,647 4,013 Intangible amortization 10,007 8,891 3,299 3,360 3,062 Merger related charge 12,244 12,244 Other 57,298 48,976 19,701 19,446 16,479 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- Total $211,279 $173,484 $67,398 $79,028 $59,258 ======== ======== ======= ======= ======= </TABLE> For the third quarter 1998... Excluding the merger-related charge of $12.2 million during the second quarter of 1998 which was associated with the merger of Overton, non-interest expense increased $614,000 or 3.7 percent annually compared to last quarter and increased $8.1 million or 13.7 percent compared to the third quarter of 1997. Salaries and wages decreased $112,000 with the second quarter of 1998 and were up $2.4 million or 9.5 percent from the third quarter of 1997 as a result of higher staffing levels (acquisition) and merit increases. Personnel expenses decreased from last quarter due primarily to the attrition of some employees after the second quarter closing of the Overton merger. Net occupancy of banking premises expense increased $428,000 or 28 percent annualized from the second quarter of 1998 and increased $787,000 or 13.7 percent from the third
quarter of 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to higher property taxes and increased utilities expense due to an exceptionally hot summer. Furniture and equipment expense increased $221,000 or 19 percent annualized compared to the second quarter of 1998 and increased $855,000 or 21.3 percent from the same quarter last year mostly due to higher rental equipment, service contracts and amortized software. Intangible amortization decreased $61,000 or 1.8 percent from the second quarter of 1998 and increased $237,000 or 7.7 percent compared to the third quarter of 1997 due to the Harrisburg acquisition. Other non-interest expenses increased $255,000 or 1.3 percent and $3.2 million or 19.6 percent from the second quarter of 1998 and third quarter of 1997, respectively, mainly due to other professional expenses, Visa check card expenses, guard services and outside computer services. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998... Excluding the merger-related charge, total non-interest expense was up $25.6 million or 14.7 percent compared to the same period one year ago. Salaries and wages were up $10.4 million or 14.4 percent compared to the same period one year ago primarily because of higher staffing levels (acquisition) and merit increases. Pension and other benefits also increased, up $1.5 million or 10.4 percent from the same period last year. Net occupancy of banking premises was up $1.9 million or 11.5 percent compared to a year ago. This increase is attributable to higher property taxes, lease and depreciation expense on buildings, as well as, other professional expenses. Furniture and equipment expense increased $2.2 million or 19.0 percent due to higher depreciation expense, rental equipment, amortized software and service contracts. Intangible amortization increased $1.1 million or 12.6 percent from the same period a year ago due to acquisitions. Also included in 1998 was a $12.2 million merger related charge associated with the merger of Overton Bancshares, Inc. Of the $12.2 million charge approximately 39 percent related to severance payments and 27 percent related to investment banking fees. Other non-interest expenses increased $8.3 million or 17 percent, primarily due to growth in the number of banking locations (guard service), other professional expenses and other technology initiatives designed to enhance and support growth. Income Taxes The Corporation's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1998 and the second and third quarters of 1997 approximated the statutory rate of 35 percent. The effective rate for the second quarter of 1998 is impacted by the merger-related charge of Overton and approximates 42 percent. Cash Earnings The Corporation has historically paid cash and used the purchase method of accounting for the majority of its acquisitions which has resulted in the creation of intangible assets. These intangible assets are deducted from capital in the determination of regulatory capital. Thus, "cash" or "tangible" earnings represents regulatory capital generated during the year and can be viewed as net income excluding intangible amortization, net of tax. While the definition of "cash" or "tangible" earnings may vary by company, we believe this definition is appropriate as it measures the per share growth of regulatory capital, which impacts the amount available for dividends and acquisitions.

Excluding the merger related charge, the Corporation's cash earnings for the nine months ending September 30, 1998 were $69.9 million or $2.56 per diluted common share compared with $2.21 per diluted common share for the same period last year. For the third quarter of 1998 cash earnings were $24.5 million or $.90 per diluted common share compared with $.78 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 1997. Cash earnings return on assets and return on equity for the third quarter were 1.54 percent and 19.78 percent, respectively. Balance Sheet Average assets of $6.3 billion were flat from the second quarter of 1998 and up $600 million or 10.5 percent from the third quarter of 1997 respectively, primarily because of the Harrisburg acquisition. Total deposits averaged $5.4 billion for the current quarter, flat from the previous quarter and up 10.2 percent when compared to the third quarter of 1997. Average loans for the third quarter of 1998 were $3.5 billion. This represents an increase in average loans of 9.5 percent on an annualized basis from the second quarter of 1998 and 17.0 percent from the third quarter of last year.

Approximately 76 percent of the increase in loans from a year ago resulted from internally generated growth. Compared to a year ago, all loan categories have increased. Real Estate Loans Real estate loans at September 30, 1998, were $1.7 billion or 46.8 percent of period-end loans compared to 45.1 percent a year ago. Residential permanent mortgage loans at September 30, 1998, were $638 million compared to $560 million at June 30, 1998, and $508 million at September 30, 1997. Real estate loans classified as "other" are essentially amortizing commercial and industrial loans with maturities of less than five years secured by real property. The majority of all commercial real estate loans are owner occupied or have a major tenant (National or Regional company). Historically these type of loans have resulted in lower risk, provided financial stability and are less susceptible to economic swings. At September 30, 1998, real estate loans 90 days past due (excluding non- accrual and restructured loans) were $4,024,000, compared with $2,649,000 at June 30, 1998, and $2,427,000 at September 30, 1997. <TABLE> <CAPTION> 1998 1997 ------------------------ -------- Real Estate Loans Percentage Period-End Balances Sept 30 of Total Sept 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Construction $ 276,584 16.7% $ 178,734 Land 56,700 3.4 60,010 Permanent mortgages: Commercial 334,719 20.2 256,110 Residential 637,930 38.5 508,481 Other 350,269 21.2 355,022 ---------- ------ ---------- $1,656,202 100.0% $1,358,357 ========== ====== ========== Non-accrual and restructured $ 7,435 .4% $ 7,021 </TABLE>
Mexico The Corporation's cross border outstandings to Mexico, excluding $18,723,000 in loans secured by assets held in the United States, totaled $50,344,000 at September 30, 1998, or 1.4 percent of total loans, down from $51,378,000 at June 30, 1998 and up compared to $22,343,000 last year. The increase from a year ago represents the additional usage of lines of credit extended to Mexican firms to support trade related transactions. Of the trade- related credits, approximately 91 percent are related to companies exporting from Mexico. In addition, loans insured by the Export Import Bank were made to Mexican businesses to purchase goods from the United States. As of September 30, 1998, none of the Mexican related loans were on non-performing status. <TABLE> <CAPTION> MEXICAN LOANS ----------------------- Percentage of September 30, 1998 Amount Total Loans - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> Loans to financial institutions $39,029 1.1% Loans to private firms or individuals 11,315 .3 ------- ---- $50,344 1.4% ======= ==== </TABLE> Non-Performing Assets <TABLE> <CAPTION> NON-PERFORMING ASSETS -------------------------- Real September 30, 1998 Estate Other Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Non-accrual and restructured loans $ 7,435 $5,694 $13,129 Foreclosed assets 3,868 511 4,379 ------- ------ ------- Total $11,303 $6,205 $17,508 ======= ====== ======= As a percentage of total non-performing assets 64.6% 35.4% 100.0% </TABLE> Non-performing assets totaled $17,508,000 at September 30, 1998 up 8.1 percent from $16,195,000 at September 30, 1997 and down 11.2 percent from $19,710,000 at June 30, 1998. Non-performing assets as a percent of total loans and foreclosed assets decreased to .49 percent at September 30, 1998 from .54 percent one year ago. Foreclosed assets consist of property which has been formally repossessed. Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the loan balance or estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market indications and applicable regulations. Write-downs are provided for subsequent declines in value. Expenses related to maintaining foreclosed properties are included in other non-interest expense. The after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) of lost interest from non-performing assets was $274,000 or $.01 per common share for the third quarter of 1998, compared to approximately $245,000 or $.01 per common share for the third quarter of 1997 and $297,000 or $.01 per common share for the second quarter of 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) was approximately $846,000 or $.03 per common share, compared with approximately $689,000 or $.03 per common share for the comparable period last year. Total loans 90 days past due (excluding non-accrual and restructured loans) were $7,875,000 at September 30, 1998, compared to $10,502,000 at September 30, 1997, and $7,012,000 at June 30, 1998. Allowance for Possible Loan Losses The allowance for possible loan losses was $51,993,000 or 1.47 percent of period-end loans at September 30, 1998, compared to $47,734,000 or 1.59 percent at September 30, 1997 and $51,115,000 or 1.48 percent at June 30, 1998. The allowance for possible loan losses as a percent of non-accrual and restructured loans was 396.0 percent at September 30, 1998,
compared to 394.8 percent at September 30, 1997 and 352.3 percent at the end of the second quarter of 1998. The Corporation recorded a $2,555,000 provision for possible loan losses during the third quarter of 1998. This compares to $2,303,000 provision for possible loan losses during the third quarter of 1997 and $2,600,000 for the second quarter of 1998. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 1998 totaled $1,677,000, compared to net charge-offs of $1,366,000 and $1,183,000 for the third quarter of 1997 and for the second quarter of 1998, respectively. <TABLE> <CAPTION> NET CHARGE-OFFS (RECOVERIES) ---------------------------- 1998 1997 ------------------ ------- Third Second Third Quarter Quarter Quarter - ------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> Real estate $ (587) $ (303) $ 27 Commercial and industrial 1,145 (100) 80 Consumer 1,150 1,600 1,250 Other, including foreign (31) (14) 9 ------- ------- ------- $ 1,677 $ 1,183 $ 1,366 ======= ======= ======= Provision for possible loan losses $ 2,555 $ 2,600 $ 2,303 Allowance for possible loan losses 51,993 51,115 47,734 </TABLE> Capital and Liquidity At September 30, 1998, shareholders' equity was $505,831,000 compared to $448,583,000 at September 30, 1997 and $483,326,000 at June 30, 1998. The Corporation had an unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes, of $16.6 million as of September 30, 1998 compared to a $9.8 million unrealized gain as of September 30, 1997, reflecting a change of $6.8 million. This increase is primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates. Currently, under regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale is not included in the calculation of risk-based capital and leverage ratios. See page seven for a discussion of the Corporation's regulatory capital ratios. The Corporation paid a cash dividend of $.30 per common share for the third and second quarters of 1998 compared to $.25 per common share in the second quarter of 1997. Excluding the merger related charge this equates to a dividend payout ratio of 36.3 percent, 38.4 percent and 33.6 percent for the third and second quarters of 1998 and the third quarter of 1997, respectively. Funding sources available at the holding company level include a $7,500,000 short-term line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding from this source at September 30, 1998. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable, pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. These include cash, short-term time deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Liability liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, principally core deposits and Federal funds purchased. Additional sources of liability liquidity include brokered deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase. The liquidity position of the Corporation is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Year 2000 The Corporation's Year 2000 compliance program includes modifying or replacing appropriate hardware and software utilized by the Corporation. Currently, the Corporation estimates that the dollar amount to be spent on incremental costs to remediate its Year 2000 issues will be approximately $3.5 million over the three year period beginning in 1997, funded out of its earnings with approximately $2.7 million spent through the third quarter of 1998. These costs are being expensed as incurred and were approximately $624,000 and $646,000 for the third and second quarters, respectively. Additionally, the corporation is spending about 30% of its annual technology budget to facilitate the attainment of
compliance. The cost of compliance and completion dates is based upon management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain resources. Management expects all mission critical systems to be installed and certified by the fourth quarter of 1998 and believes that its program is producing the appropriate level of preparedness. Regardless of the Year 2000 compliance of the Corporation's systems, there is no complete assurance that the Corporation will not be adversely affected to the extent that other entities not affiliated with the Corporation are unsuccessful in properly addressing the issue. In an effort to minimize this possibility, active communication has been on-going between the Corporation and its external service providers and intermediaries. The Corporation plans to complete external testing with these service providers by the end of the first quarter of 1999. The Corporation is actively assessing the risk of Year 2000 business disruption for its core processes, where appropriate contingency plans are being developed. Management expects to complete these plans by year-end 1998; however, year 2000 risks will be continually evaluated and these plans will be updated as appropriate throughout 1999. Additionally, a risk reduction program was initiated in 1997 that addresses potential Year 2000 exposure in the loan portfolio. The Corporation has hosted public awareness sessions for customers and suppliers in our marketplace during 1997 and 1998. Forward-Looking Statements The Corporation may from time to time make forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) with respect to earnings per share, credit quality, expected Year 2000 compliance program, corporate objectives and other financial and business matters. The Corporation cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including economic conditions; actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board; legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; competition; as well as other reasons, all of which change over time. Actual results may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
