NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
1. ACQUISITIONS
On February 15, 1996, the Company acquired three branches of Compass
Bank in North Florida's Nassau County. The Company received cash,
loans, and property and equipment with fair values of approximately
$22,982,000 while assuming deposit and other liabilities totaling
approximately $23,709,000. The excess of liabilities assumed over
net assets acquired was recorded as a deposit premium.
<PAGE>
SOUTHEASTERN BANKING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Southeastern Banking Corporation (the Company) is a bank holding
company headquartered in Darien, Georgia. Its two subsidiaries, Southeastern
Bank and Southeastern Bank of Florida, operate full-service banking offices in
southeast Georgia and northeast and central Florida. Southeastern Bank (SEB), a
state banking association incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia,
operates from its main office in Darien and its branch offices in Douglas,
Eulonia, Folkston, Hazlehurst, Hoboken, Kingsland, Nahunta, Nicholls, St. Marys,
and Woodbine. At March 31, 1996, Southeastern Bank had total assets of
approximately $265,459,000.* Southeastern Bank of Florida (SEBF), a state
banking association incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida,
operates from its main office in Alachua and its branch offices in Callahan,
Gainesville, Hilliard, Jonesville, and Yulee. At March 31, 1996, Southeastern
Bank of Florida had total assets of approximately $69,017,000.* Both banks
provide traditional deposit and credit services to individual and corporate
customers.
On October 14, 1994, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
common stock of United Citizens Bank of Alachua County, Alachua, Florida under
the name Southeastern Bank of Florida (SEBF). The aggregate consideration paid
for SEBF was approximately $5,139,000.00. The results of operations of SEBF have
been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition forward.
On February 15, 1996, the Company acquired the Callahan,
Hilliard, and Yulee offices of Compass Bank in North Florida's Nassau County.
Geographically, Nassau County borders Camden and Charlton Counties in South
Georgia where the Company has existing offices. The Company received
approximately $22,982,000 in assets and assumed approximately $23,709,000 in
deposit and other liabilities.
Earning assets, which consist of federal funds sold, investment
securities,** and loans, grew approximately $34,039,000 since December 31, 1995.
The acquisition of the Nassau County branches and deposit growth were the main
factors in the current period increase. The Company received a considerable
amount of funds from the Nassau County branches because of their low net loans
to deposit ratio. The excess funds from these branches and funds from other
deposit growth were invested primarily in federal funds sold and investment
securities. Federal funds sold were up $13,540,000 from year-end 1995 while
investment securities were up $12,294,000. Virtually all of the securities
purchased were U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations.
Net loans grew $8,205,000 or 4.96% at March 31, 1996 compared to
December 31, 1995. Loans acquired from Compass accounted for $2,041,054 or
24.88% of the current period increase. The net loans to deposit ratio was 60.11%
compared to 63.72% at December 31, 1995. Nonaccrual loans totaled $608,000 or
.35% of net loans at March 31, 1996, down from 1995 levels. During the first
quarter of 1995, net loans increased a mere $340,710 or .22% from December 31,
1994. The loan balances a year ago primarily reflected the repayment of several
large commercial loans.
The allowance to net loans ratio was 2.11% at March 31, 1996
compared to 2.23% and 2.14% at March 31, 1995 and 1994. Net charge-offs totaled
$173,603, up $114,879 from the first quarter of 1995. The provision provided
from income was $300,000 for each of the first quarters of 1996 and 1995.
Gross premises and equipment increased during the current quarter
due to the acquisition of the Nassau County branches; the purchase of the
Jonesville office which was previously leased; and the purchase of additional
proof equipment for the centralized proof center.
Intangible assets increased during the current quarter due to the
deposit premium associated with the Nassau County branches. Other assets
declined $14,570 or .26%. The increase in deferred taxes on unrealized gains and
losses on investment securities was offset by a $345,242 decline in foreclosed
real estate. Management continues to market the other real estate parcels held;
at March 31, 1996, foreclosed real estate balances totaled $1,048,031.
*Stand-alone basis
**At amortized cost
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is managed to ensure sufficient cash flow to satisfy
demands for credit, deposit withdrawals, and other corporate needs. The Company
meets most of its daily liquidity needs through the management of cash and
federal funds sold. Additional liquidity is provided by payments and maturities
of the loan and investment securities portfolios. The investment portfolio has
also been structured to meet liquidity needs prior to asset maturity when
necessary.
The Company's core deposit base is the foundation for its liquidity
position. Deposits grew $29,236,138 or 11.26% at March 31, 1996, with
approximately $2,914,000 and $26,322,000 of the growth being attributable to SEB
and SEBF, respectively. Deposits assumed from the Nassau County branches
accounted for most of the growth in SEBF's deposits during the current quarter.
Interest-bearing deposits grew $32,909,015 while noninterest-bearing deposits
declined $3,672,877, representing 17.98% of total deposits at quarter-end versus
21.42% at December 31, 1995. Savings were the largest-growing component of
interest-bearing deposits, accounting for $22,053,897 of the growth since
year-end 1995. The growth in savings deposits resulted primarily from the March
1996 introduction of our new SMARTSAVER Account that pays a 6% annual percentage
yield. Certificates of deposit and interest-bearing demand deposits accounted
for the remaining $10,516,953 and $338,165 growth in interest-bearing deposits.
During the first three months of 1995, deposits grew $1,241,902 or .49%.
<PAGE>
In addition to deposits and the other liquidity sources mentioned
above, the Company's capital position has enabled it to make arrangements with
correspondent banks to handle any unusual short-term liquidity needs.
The Company continued to prepay on its note payable, paying $300,000
during the first quarter. Principal payments of $425,000 are due annually.
Besides assuming deposit liabilities, the Company did not incur any debt in
connection with its acquisition of the Nassau County branches.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to minimize
the effect of interest rate changes on net interest margin while maintaining net
interest income at acceptable levels. The Company attempts to accomplish this
objective by structuring the balance sheet so that repricing opportunities exist
for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately
the same time intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any time
constitute interest rate sensitivity. An indicator of interest rate sensitivity
is the difference between interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate
sensitive liabilities; this difference is known as the interest rate sensitivity
gap.
The Company's interest rate sensitivity position at March 31, 1996
is set forth in the table below:

* Distribution of maturities for available for sale securities is based on
amortized cost. Additionally, distribution of maturities for mortgage-backed
securities is based on expected final maturities which may be different from the
contractual terms. Equity securities are excluded.
<PAGE>
At March 31, 1996, the gap analysis indicates a negative cumulative
gap position through the one year time interval of $9,447,000. A negative gap
position indicates that the Company's rate sensitive liabilities will reprice
faster than its rate sensitive assets, with 78% of rate sensitive liabilities
and 52% of rate sensitive assets repricing within one year. Overall changes in
the Company's gap position since December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995 were
insignificant.
The interest rate sensitivity table presumes that all loans and
securities* will perform according to their contractual maturities when, in many
cases, actual loan terms are much shorter than the original terms and securities
are subject to early redemption. In addition, the table does not necessarily
indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on net interest margin
since the repricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject
to competitive pressures and customer needs. The Company monitors and adjusts
its exposure to interest rate risks within specific policy guidelines based on
its view of current and expected market conditions.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Realized stockholders' equity increased $921,865 or 3.02% during the
first quarter of 1996, an increase in book value of $0.77 per share. Unrealized
stockholders' equity declined $567,406 since year-end 1995; this decline
reflects the impact of market interest rates on investment securities classified
as available for sale. Consistent with our objectives, the Company maintains
capital ratios well above regulatory requirements. Our capital ratios for the
most recent periods are presented in the table below.
Capital adequacy is measured with a framework that makes capital
requirements sensitive to the risk profiles of individual banking companies.
Regulatory guidelines define capital as either Tier 1 (primarily stockholders'
equity) or Tier 2 (certain debt instruments and a portion of the allowance for
loan losses). The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a minimum Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4% and a total capital (Tier 1 plus
Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%. Additionally, the Company is
subject to a Tier 1 leverage ratio that measures the ratio of Tier 1 capital to
average quarterly assets. Unrecognized gains and losses on investment securities
are excluded from the calculation of risk-based capital.
The regulatory agencies have defined "well-capitalized" institutions
as those whose capital ratios equal or exceed the following ratios: Tier 1
capital ratio of 6%, total risk-based capital of 10%, and Tier 1 leverage ratio
of 5%. At March 31, 1996, the Company's Tier 1 capital, total risk-based
capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 15.26%, 16.52%, and 9.23%. As expected,
our capital ratios have declined since year-end 1995 due to our acquisition of
the Nassau County branches.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the quarter totaled $1,136,713 or $0.95 per share, up
$114,106 or 11.16% over the same period in 1995 which was up 23.39% over 1994.
The return on beginning equity was 14.88% at March 31, 1996 versus 14.98% at
March 31, 1995. The improvement in net income resulted from increases in net
interest and other income and overall declines in operating expenses. The loan
portfolio was the primary factor in the interest income improvement. For the
first three months of 1996, interest and fees on loans were up $325,053 or
7.34%. This increase resulted from higher average balances, because loan yields
remained consistent with 1995 levels. The yield on loans was 11.56% at March 31,
1996. Because the loans acquired from Compass were not significant to the total
loan portfolio, they had little impact on our March 31, 1996 operating results.
After giving effect to the increase in interest and fees on loans resulting from
SEBF, whose operating results were included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition forward, interest income on loans
increased $785,030 or 25.29% at March 31, 1995 compared to March 31, 1994. The
improvement in interest and fees on loans during the prior year was marked by a
16.90% increase in average loan balances at SEB.
Interest income on taxable investment securities increased $173,349
or 17.53% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase in interest
earnings on investment securities resulted from higher average balances and
higher yields. The higher average balances were a direct result of the excess
funds received from the Nassau County branches and the funds generated by other
deposit growth. The yield on taxable investment securities was 6.01% at March
31, 1996, up 32 basis points from March 31, 1995. Interest income on tax-exempt
securities declined $39,363 or 11.09% during the current period. The calls and
maturities of these securities have exceeded recent purchases. In addition, the
yield on tax-exempt securities declined 15 basis points from March 31, 1995 to
9.16% at March 31, 1996. After giving effect to the increase attributable to
SEBF, interest income on taxable investment securities declined $135,543 or
13.72% during the quarter ended March 31, 1995; interest income on tax-exempt
securities declined $39,085 or 9.92%.
Though the average balances of federal funds sold increased 6.05%,
the interest earnings on federal funds sold declined $5,630 or 3.41% at March
31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. This decline resulted from a 51 basis point
drop in yield at March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. During the first
quarter of 1995, SEBF contributed $35,060 in interest income on federal funds
sold. The remaining $72,062 increase in earnings on federal funds sold in the
prior year was attributable to higher average balances and yields at SEB.
Because of higher average balances and higher rates, the interest
expense on deposits was up $397,323 or 17.90% during the current quarter. For
the first three months of 1996, the average interest paid on deposits was 4.85%,
up 45 basis points from the same period last year. Approximately 47% of the
increase was due to SEBF, including the Nassau County branches. Because the
SmartSaver deposit program was not introduced until March 1996, it did not have
a significant effect on first quarter interest expense. Interest expense on
deposits increased $560,676 or 33.78% at March 31, 1995. Approximately 50.40% of
the increase last year was due to SEBF. Because the Company continues to prepay
the principal on the term loan, interest expense on long-term debt declined
$27,113 during the first quarter of 1996. The average interest paid on the term
loan during the first quarter of 1996 was 7.42%, down 41 basis points from last
year.
In summary, net interest income increased $85,409 or 2.35% during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. During the same
period last year, net interest income increased $756,259 or 26.32%. SEBF
contributed $493,389 in net interest income during the first quarter of 1996
compared to $427,160 during the first quarter of 1995.
OTHER INCOME
Other income grew $93,589 or 10.82% during the first quarter of 1996
compared to the first quarter of 1995. Increases in service charges on deposit
accounts and gains versus losses on investment securities were the primary
factors in the current results. SEBF added $90,135 in noninterest income during
the first quarter of 1995. The remaining $22,832 improvement at March 31, 1995
resulted from increases in service charges on deposit accounts and commissions
from the sale of credit life insurance; these increases offset declines in book
gains on sales of other real estate owned and realized losses on sales of
investment securities.
OTHER EXPENSE
The change in salaries and employee benefits was not significant at
March 31, 1996 compared to March 31, 1995. Salaries and employee benefits were
up $365,894 or 30.63% during the same period in 1995. Approximately 57% of the
prior year increase was attributable to SEBF; the remaining increase was
attributable to increased benefit accruals at SEB. Increases in net occupancy
and equipment expense at March 31, 1996 resulted largely from increased computer
maintenance costs and the additional depreciation and other occupancy expenses
associated with the Nassau County locations. Other operating expenses declined
$125,213 or 15.78% at March 31, 1996 compared to 1995. The $139,496 decline in
FDIC insurance premiums was partially offset by the start-up costs associated
with the acquisition of the Nassau County branches. Net occupancy and equipment
expense and other operating expense increased 23.81% and 12.01% during the first
quarter of 1995 compared to 1994. Virtually all of last year's increase in net
occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expense was attributable to
SEBF.
