Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------
September 30, 1997
------------------
(Unaudited)
---------
Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date. The accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. The statements should be
read in conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes
to consolidated financial statements included in the Registrant's
annual report for the year ended December 31, 1996. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Note B - Securities Portfolio
- -----------------------------
In accordance with FAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities", as of September 30, 1997 the securities in
the "Available for Sale" category included $4.37 million in unrealized
gains. Accordingly, total securities and total stockholders' equity
were increased by $4.37 million and $2.66 million (net of taxes),
respectively, at September 30, 1997, to reflect the adjustment of the
securities portfolio to market. The calculation of book value per share
reflects these mark-to-market unrealized losses, whereas the
calculation of ROA and ROE do not, because the unrealized gains are not
included in net income. The fair value of the "Held to Maturity"
category was $956.5 million at September 30, 1997.
Note C - Floating Rate Capital Trust Pass-through Securities
- ------------------------------------------------------------
In March, 1997, the Company issued $49,875,000 in Floating Rate Capital
Trust Pass-through Securities ("Capital Securities"). The proceeds of
this issue are being used by the Company for general corporate purposes
and may be counted as Tier I capital.
Note D - Effect of FASB Statement No. 128
- -----------------------------------------
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted
on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to
change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to
restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating
primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will
be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of primary
earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share is not expected
to be material.
Note E - Effect of FASB Statement No. 131
- -----------------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the reporting of
financial information from operating segments using the management
approach in annual and interim financial statements. This Statement
requires that financial information be reported on the basis that it is
reported internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how
to allocate resources to segments. Because this Statement addresses how
supplemental financial information is disclosed in annual and interim
reports, the adoption will have no material impact on the financial
statements. SFAS No. 131 will become effective in 1998.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. Reference should be
made to the consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) for
an understanding of the following discussion and analysis. In this discussion,
net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable
equivalent basis. All per share data is adjusted to reflect all stock dividends
and stock splits declared through September 30, 1997.
This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements which
may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prospective investors are cautioned that any
such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future performance and
involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially
from those comtemplated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors
currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements include significant
fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, economic recession, significant
changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environment, significant
underperformance in the Company's portfolio of outstanding loans, and
competition in the Company's markets. The Company undertakes no obligation to
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the
occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future results over time.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Following is a comparison of the September 30, 1997, and December 31,
1996, consolidated balance sheets. Total deposits decreased by $5 million or
.2%, principally as a result of a $69 million or 12.2% decrease in certificates
of deposit of $100,000 or more, a $16 million or 5.9% decrease in money market
checking accounts, and a $16 million or 1.6% decrease in money market savings
accounts. Partially offsetting these decreases, non-interest bearing deposits
increased $23 million or 6.6% and certificates of deposit less than $100,000
increased $73 million or 10.0%.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased $153 million or 51.4% from year-end 1996 levels. This
category of liabilities fluctuates with the availability of overnight funds
purchased from downstream correspondent banks.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $29 million or 7.3% from
December 31, 1996. This increase is principally the result of asset/liability
management decisions related to the current interest rate environment.
Long-term debt increased $50 million or 32.1%, reflecting management's
decision to issue floating-rate Capital Trust Pass-through Securities in March,
1997. The proceeds of this issue are being used by the Company for general
corporate purposes and may be counted as Tier 1 capital.
Total loans, net of unearned discounts, increased by $259 million or
11.0% compared to December 31, 1996 levels. Commercial loans increased by $1
million or 0.3% and real estate construction loans increased by $50 million or
29.7%, reflecting current demand. Real estate mortgage loans increased by $161
million or 26.9%, reflecting an increased emphasis on promoting home equity
loans. Consumer loans increased $42 million or 3.9%, while lease financing loans
increased $7 million or 28.4% due to the Company's recent purchase of two
leasing companies.
Securities increased by $56 million or 3.7% from year-end 1996.
Securities held to maturity increased by $145.3 million or 17.8%, and securities
available for sale decreased $89.1 million or 12.7%, reflecting current
portfolio investment strategies, and current market conditions.
7
<PAGE>
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
increased by $3 million or 25.3% from December 31, 1996 levels, reflecting
excess funds that otherwise were not employed in loans or securities at
September 30, 1997.
Trading account securities decreased by $11 million or 33.4% from
year-end 1996 levels. This decrease reflects the trading activity generated by
NBC Capital Markets, Group, Inc., the Company's broker/dealer subsidiary, which
fluctuates from time to time.
Broker/dealer customer receivables increased $2 million or 19.7% and
payables decreased $1 million or 100.0% reflecting levels of activity.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended September 30, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income was $18,045,000 for the third quarter of 1997, a 22.5%
increase over the $14,725,000 reported for the same period a year earlier.
Earnings per share were $.36, compared to $.30 per share in 1996, up 20.0%.
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans
and investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased by
$7,656,000 or 22.1% for the third quarter of 1997 compared to third quarter
1996. This increase reflects an $14,613,000 or 19.8% increase in total interest
income that more than offsets a $6,957,000 or 17.8% increase in interest
expense. Interest income increased in 1997 due to an increase of $581,632,000 or
15.9% in total average earning assets, and an increase in the yield on average
earning assets from 8.00% in the third quarter of 1996 to 8.25% in the third
quarter of 1997. The increased volume of earning assets positively impacted
interest income by approximately $12,000,000, while the increased yield
positively impacted interest income by approximately $2,600,000. Interest
expense increased in the third quarter of 1997, reflecting an increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities of $537,820,000 or 16.7%, and an increase
in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 4.81% to 4.84%. The increase in
the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities had a minimal effect on interest
expense, and the increase in average outstandings negatively affected interest
expense by approximately $7,000,000. The net interest margin (taxable equivalent
net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets) was 3.95% in
third quarter 1997, compared to 3.76% in third quarter of 1996.
The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 1997 was
$4,280,000, versus $4,149,000 for the third quarter of 1996. Net charge-offs
were $2,479,000, or .38% of average loans compared to $1,797,000 or .33% of
average loans in 1996. The allowance for loan losses totaled $39,911,000 at
September 30, 1997, representing 1.53% of quarter-end net loans, compared to
$34,827,000 or 1.55% of quarter-end net loans at September 30, 1996.
Following is a comparison of non-earning assets and loans past due 90
days or more for the quarters ended September 30, 1997, June 30, 1997, and
September 30, 1996 (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled
$20,010,000 for the quarter, an increase of $1,356,000, or 7.3%, from last
year's third quarter. Included in third quarter, 1996 non-interest income was a
pre-tax gain of $1.8 million relating to bank facilities. Excluding this gain,
non-interest income increased $3,156,000 or 18.7% for the third quarter compared
to third quarter 1996. The Company's broker/dealer revenue decreased $1,482,000
versus third quarter 1996, reflecting current market conditions. All other
sources of non-interest income, including service charge income, trust service
income, fuel card processing income, and supermarket sublicense income increased
a net of $1,674,000 or 11.0%. Securities gains totaled $2,000 in third quarter
1997, compared to securities gains of $194,000 in third quarter 1996.
Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses)
increased by $4,088,000 or 16.0% in third quarter, 1997, primarily reflecting
increased employment and occupancy expenses relating to new products and
locations and increased promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering
campaigns.
The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity
were 1.60% and 21.38% respectively, for third quarter of 1997. These compared
with 1996 third quarter returns of 1.52% and 19.98%, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997, Compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income totaled
$49,269,000, a 18.0% increase over the $41,764,000 for the first nine months of
1996. Earnings per share were $.97, compared to $.83 for the same period in
1996, a 16.9% increase. For the nine-month period, return on average assets and
return on average stockholders' equity were $1.50% and 19.95% respectively.
These compared with 1996 nine month returns of 1.49% and 19.01%.
Net interest income increased by $18,054,000 or 17.4% for the first
nine months of 1997. This increase reflects a $39,468,000 or 18.4% increase in
total interest income that more than offsets a $21,414,000,000 or 19.4% increase
in interest expense. Interest income increased in 1997 due to an increase of
$581,393,000 or 16.4% in total average earning assets and an increase in the
yield on average earning assets from 8.06% in 1996 to 8.21% in 1997. The
increased volume of earning assets positively impacted interest income by
approximately $35,000,000, and the increased yield positively impacted interest
income by approximately $4,000,000. Interest expense increased in the first nine
months of 1997, reflecting an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities
of $558,369,000 or 18.0%, with the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increasing from 4.77% to 4.82% in 1997. The increase in average outstandings
negatively impacted interest expense by approximately $20,000,000 while the
increased rate negatively impacted expense by approximately $1,500,000. The net
interest margin was 3.94% in the first nine months of 1997, compared to 3.90% in
the first nine months of 1996.
The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 1997 was
$11,285,000, versus $11,444,000 for the first nine months of 1996. Net
charge-offs were $7,513,000, compared to $5,224,000 in 1996.
Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled
$56,426,000 for the first nine months of 1997, compared to a total of
$52,703,000 for the first nine months of 1996, an increase of 7.1%. Included in
1996 non-interest income was a $1.2 million gain on the sale of certain assets,
primarily loans, of the Company's Commerce Finance subsidiary, and the
previously mentioned $1.8 million gain relating to bank facilities transactions.
Excluding these gains, non-interest income increased $6,723,000 or 13.5%. The
Company's broker-dealer revenue increased $273,000 or 3.6%, reflecting current
market conditions. Other sources of non-interest income, including service
charge income, trust service income, fuel card processing income, supermarket
sublicence income increased a net of $6,450,000 or

15.3%. Securities gains totaled $31,000 in 1997, compared to $38,000 in
securities losses in 1996.
Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses)
increased by $10,878,000 or 14.1% for the first nine months of 1997. Increased
employment and occupancy expenses relating to new products and locations, and
increased promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering campaigns were
the primary reasons for the increase.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, trading account
securities, and securities available for sale are the principal sources of
short-term asset liquidity. Other sources of short-term liquidity include
federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, credit lines with other
banks, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan
Bank. Maturing loans and securities are the principal sources of long-term asset
liquidity.
Total realized stockholders' equity increased by $30,074,000 from
December 31, 1996. Retained earnings accounted for the majority of the increase.
Through September 30, 1997, 2,428,201 shares had been repurchased and cancelled
under a stock repurchase program initiated in January, 1996 and are used to fund
employee benefit plans.
