FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements that are
based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates
and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and
about Old Kent Financial Corporation ("Old Kent" or the "Corporation")
itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects,"
"forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "judgment," "projects," variations
of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Management judgments relating to, and discussion of the provision
and allowance for credit losses involve judgments as to future events and
are inherently forward looking statements. Assessments that Old Kent is
Year 2000 "compliant" are necessarily statements of belief as to the outcome
of future events, based in part on information provided by vendors and
others which Old Kent has not independently verified. These statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions which are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent,
likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes
may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted
in such forward-looking statements. Future factors that could cause a difference
between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement
include changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand
for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and
non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulations; changes in
tax laws; changes in prices, levies, and assessments; the impact of technological
advances; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending
and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behaviors as
well as their ability to repay loans; the ability of the companies on which
Old Kent relies to make their computer systems Year 2000 compliant; the
ability to locate and convert all relevant computer codes and data; the
vicissitudes of the national economy; the possibility that expected cost
savings from mergers might not be fully realized within the expected time
frame; and similar uncertainties. Old Kent undertakes no obligation to
update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events, or otherwise.

OLD KENT FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. 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, 1998.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current periods' financial statements.
NOTE B: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Old Kent uses certain off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, Treasury futures and options, and interest rate caps and floors in connection with risk management activities. Provided these instruments meet specific criteria, they are considered hedges and accounted for under the accrual or deferral methods, as more fully discussed below.
Old Kent uses interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Amounts receivable or payable under these agreements are included in net interest income. There is no recognition on the balance sheet for changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument. Gains or losses on terminated interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized to interest income or expense over the remaining life of the hedged item.
Old Kent uses forward sale agreements and options on forward sale agreements to protect the value of residential loan commitments, loans held-for-sale and related mortgage backed securities held in the trading account. The market value of the financial hedges associated with loan origination commitments and loans held-for-sale are included in the aggregate valuation of mortgages held-for-sale. Premiums paid for options are deferred as a component of other assets and amortized against gains on sale of loans over the contract term. Forward sale agreements associated with mortgage backed securities held in the trading account are considered when marking those securities to market, with the corresponding adjustment recorded to gains on sale of loans.
From time to time, Old Kent uses Treasury futures and options on Treasury futures to help protect against market value changes in the mortgage servicing right ("MSR") portfolio. The fair value of the hedges are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the MSR with a corresponding adjustment to cash or other receivables or payables. If terminated, the realized gain or loss on the hedge is included in MSR amortization over the estimated life of the loan servicing that had been hedged. Option premiums paid or received are deferred as a component of other assets and amortized as MSR amortization over the contract term.
Derivative financial instruments, such as caps and floors,
that do not meet the required criteria are carried on the balance sheet
at fair value with realized and unrealized changes in that value recognized
in earnings. If the hedged item is sold or its outstanding balance otherwise
declines below that of the related hedging instrument, the derivative product
(or applicable excess portion thereof) is marked-to-market and the resulting
gain or loss is included in earnings.
OLD KENT FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (Unaudited)
September 30, 1999
NOTE C: ADOPTION OF FASB 133
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended by SFAS 137, Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133. The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.
Statement 133 is effective beginning January 1, 2001. A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance. Statement 133 cannot be applied retroactively. Statement 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1998 (and, at Old Kent's election, those issued or acquired before January 1, 1999).
Old Kent has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on the consolidated financial statements and has not determined the timing of or method of adoption of Statement 133. However, the Statement could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

At September 30, 1999, the Corporation's management has identified loans totaling approximately $17.4 million as potential problem loans. These loans are not included as nonperforming assets in the table above. While these loans were in compliance with repayment terms at September 30, 1999, other circumstances caused management to seriously doubt the ability of the borrowers to continue to remain in compliance with existing loan repayment terms.

NOTE H: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In June, 1999, the Board of Directors of Old Kent Financial Corporation declared a 5% stock dividend payable July 19, 1999, to shareholders of record on June 29, 1999. All per share amounts included in this report have been adjusted to reflect this dividend.
At that same meeting, Old Kent's Directors authorized management, at its discretion, to purchase up to 3.0 million shares of the Corporation's common stock. It is anticipated that these shares will be purchased by the Corporation in a systematic program of open market or privately negotiated purchases over the ensuing twelve month period. They will be reserved for later reissue in connection with potential future stock dividends, the dividend reinvestment plan, employee benefit plans, and other general corporate purposes. To date, 750,000 shares have been purchased by the corporation under this authorization.
NOTE I: REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS
Under the provisions of "SFAS No. 131," Old Kent has six reportable operating segments: Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Community Banking, Investment and Insurance Services, Mortgage Banking and Treasury. Old Kent's reportable segments are strategic business units that are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies, and also differs in product emphasis.

operating segments' profit for the three month period ended September 30,

Old Kent Mortgage Company actively manages prepayment risks associated with mortgage servicing rights through its significant loan origination and replenishment capacity, customer retention initiatives, recurring bulk sales of mortgage servicing rights, and use of financial hedges. Old Kent Mortgage Company has entered into an agreement to sell mortgage serving rights associated with $4.5 to $9.0 billion of mortgage loans during 1999 and $2.5 to $5.0 billion during 2000. This forward bulk servicing sale agreement provides for quarterly sales of newly originated conventional mortgage servicing rights.

respectively, ending September 30, 1999. The average market price of Old
Kent's common stock was less than the exercise price of these options for
those periods. Under the treasury stock method of computing the impact
of these options the result would be anti-dilutive and therefore is not
included for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

On January 31, 1997, Old Kent issued a floating rate junior subordinated debenture (the "Debenture") having a principal amount of $103,092,784 to Old Kent Capital Trust I (the "Trust"). Cumulative interest on the principal sum of the Debenture accrues from January 31, 1997, and it is payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of February, May, August and November of each year at a variable rate per annum equal to LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) plus .80% until paid. Interest is computed on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of twelve 30 day months. The Debentures rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness (as defined) of Old Kent. The Debenture matures on February 1, 2027, but may be redeemed in whole or in part beginning on February 1, 2007, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain special events defined in the Indenture governing the Debenture.
On January 31, 1997, the Trust sold Floating Rate Subordinated Capital Income Securities ("Preferred Securities") having an aggregate liquidation amount of $100 million to investors and issued Common Capital Securities ("Common Securities") having an aggregate liquidation amount of $3,092,784 to Old Kent. All of the proceeds from sale of Preferred Securities and Common Securities were invested in a Debenture issued by Old Kent. Preferred Securities and Common Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Debenture, which is the sole asset of the Trust. Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities are entitled to receive distributions from the Trust on terms which correspond to the interest and principal payments due on the Debenture. Payment of distributions by the Trust and payments on liquidation of the Trust or redemption of Preferred Securities are guaranteed by Old Kent to the extent the Trust has funds available (the "Guarantee"). Old Kent's obligations under the Guarantee, taken together with its obligations under the Debenture, the Indenture, the applicable Declaration of Trust and Old Kent's agreement to pay all fees and expenses related to the trust and all ongoing costs, expenses and liabilities of the Trust for so long as the trust holds the Debenture, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee of all of the Trust's obligations under the Preferred Securities issued by the Trust. Because the Common Securities held by Old Kent represent all of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust (in the absence of a default or other specified event), the Trust is considered to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Kent for reporting purposes and its accounts are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Old Kent.
The Preferred Securities qualify as Tier I capital for
regulatory capital purposes. Issuance of the Preferred Securities by the
Trust had the effect of increasing Old Kent's regulatory capital. Proceeds
from the sale of the Debenture to the Trust were available for general
corporate purposes, including repurchase of shares.
Item 2. | Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations. |
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected Old Kent's financial condition and results of operations during the periods included in the consolidated financial statements included in this filing.
As discussed in Note M to the Financial Statements, Old Kent completed the mergers of CFSB Bancorp, Inc. as of July 9, 1999 and Pinnacle BancGroup, Inc. as of September 3, 1999 into Old Kent. These mergers were accounted for as pooling-of-interests and all financial information in this report has been adjusted to reflect these business combinations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Old Kent's net income was $52.8 million for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $61.9 million for the same period of 1998. Third quarter diluted earnings per share was $.44, a 12% decrease from $.50 for the same period last year. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, net income was $181.3 million compared to $181.4 million a year ago and diluted earnings per share was $1.51, a 4.9% increase over $1.44 for 1998 year to date.
During the third quarter of 1999, Old Kent recognized $17.6 million of after-tax, merger related charges which had the effect of reducing diluted earnings per share by $.15. Excluding these merger charges, diluted earnings per share was $.59 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 or 18% better than the same period for 1998. Third quarter 1999 operating net income was $70.4 million or 13.7% greater than net income of $61.9 million for the same period for 1998.
Total assets were $17.6 billion at quarter-end compared to $18.6 billion at December 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily a result of a reduction in mortgages held-for-sale. Return on average equity for the third quarter of 1999 was 16.9% compared to 18.6% for the third quarter of 1998. Return on average assets was 1.18% for the third quarter of 1999 compared to 1.42% for the third quarter of 1998.
Old Kent's net interest income for the third quarter of 1999 was $174.3 million, an 8.9% increase over the $160.1 million recorded in the same period of 1998. For the third quarter of 1999, the net interest margin was 4.33% compared to 4.07% a year ago. These increases are due to a favorable change in the asset mix as well as a decrease in costs of funds. On the asset side, higher yielding commercial and consumer loans grew $1.4 billion, while lower yielding securities and mortgages held-for-sale decreased $1.6 billion. On the funding side, savings and DDA combined grew $464 million and wholesale borrowing grew $338 million to offset decreases of $444 million in consumer time and negotiable and foreign deposits. The net of these changes increased the margin by 26 basis points compared to third quarter, 1998.
The provision for credit losses was $6.8 million in the
third quarter of 1999 and $8.7 million in the third quarter of 1998. Net
credit losses were $2.2 million or .07% of average loans for the third
quarter of 1999 compared to $8.4 million or .33% of average loans for the
same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower net charge
offs in the consumer and commercial portfolios. This improvement was directly
attributable to strong credit quality policies as well as emphasis in reducing
loan balances with undesirable credit risk through sale transactions or
through exits of the credit relationship. The allowance for credit losses
as a percent of loans and leases outstanding was 1.65% at September 30,
1999 and 1.76%
Total other operating income, (other income, excluding securities transactions and other nonrecurring income) increased 14% or $12.8 million during the third quarter of 1999 over the same period a year ago. The mortgage banking business contributed $6.4 million of this increase, primarily as a result of growth and expansion of Old Kent Mortgage Company, along with a generally favorable economy. Investment management and trust revenues increased 11.9% or $2.0 million as a result of focused sales initiatives and business development efforts. Service charges on deposits increased 10.2% or $1.7 million. All other service charges and fees increased $2.7 million over the same period a year ago.
Old Kent sold approximately $2.8 billion of residential mortgage loans during the quarter. Old Kent's residential third party mortgage servicing portfolio was $15.1 billion at September 30, 1999, and $14.0 billion at December 31, 1998.
Total net securities gains for the third quarter of 1999 were $3 thousand compared to gains of $3.9 million for the same period of 1998.
Total operating expenses excluding merger related charges for the third quarter of 1999 increased $10.1 million, or 6.6%, over the same period in 1998. These increases are primarily attributable to the growth in Mortgage Banking. Old Kent Mortgage Company operated 152 branches in 31 states as of September 30, 1999 compared to 136 branches in 32 states as of September 30, 1998 and 167 branches in 32 states as of June 30, 1999.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased $4.9 million
or 6.0% for the third quarter of 1999 over the third quarter of 1998 largely
as a result of increased staffing in the Mortgage Company. The number of
full-time equivalent employees for the Corporation increased by 406 over
a year ago, to 8,304 at September 30, 1999.

During the third quarter of 1999 compared to the same period a year ago, occupancy expenses increased 6.6%, and equipment expenses increased 8.2%. Other operating expenses increased by 58.3% or $29.7 million over the prior year including $26 million in merger related charges.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
The Corporation is currently in the process of addressing
a significant issue facing all users of automated information systems.
The problem is that many computer systems that process transactions based
on two digits representing the year of transaction may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The problem could
affect a wide variety of automated information systems such as
The Corporation initiated its Year 2000 analysis in early 1995. The assessment included an inventory of software applications, communications with third party vendors and suppliers, and certification of compliance from third party providers. The Corporation has a comprehensive written plan which is regularly updated and monitored by technical and non-technical management and personnel. Plan status is regularly reviewed by management of the Corporation and reported upon to the Board of Directors.
The Corporation utilizes vendor supplied software packages for its "mission critical" applications. All "mission critical" systems were Year 2000 ready with the current releases installed and tested for all applications and were in production on December 31, 1998. In addition, the Corporation has acquired testing tools which were used during a second phase of testing completed on June 30, 1999. System dates were reset and validation took place in an integrated event level testing environment.
The testing of the remediated systems was very successful with no significant failures experienced when processing data beyond December 31, 1999. The Corporation has also updated its business resumption plans to include contingency actions for Year 2000 issues. With these measures in place, the Corporation expects no materially adverse failures in its data processing systems as a result of the century change. As of September 30, 1999, Old Kent management believes that it is compliant on all material applications.
Diagnosis, reprogramming and other remedies are expected to result in expenditures of approximately $16 million, over the four years ended December 31, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, approximately $15.2 million of these expenditures have been recognized as incurred by Old Kent since 1995.
In addition to reviewing its own computer operating systems and applications, the Corporation has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers (operating risk) and large customers (credit risk) to determine the extent to which Old Kent is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to resolve their own Year 2000 issues. There is no assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Corporation's systems rely will be timely converted. If such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have an adverse impact on the operations of the Corporation. The Corporation's Year 2000 contingency plans for each line of business will address alternative processing methods for all critical functions including lending, transaction processing, liquidity and service delivery methods.
This Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure is based upon and partially repeats information provided by Old Kent's outside consultants, vendors and others regarding the Year 2000 readiness of Old Kent and its customers, vendors and other parties. Although management believes this information to be accurate, it has not in each case independently verified such information.
BALANCE SHEET CHANGES
Total interest-earning assets decreased 4.6% or $781 million
from December 31, 1998. Loans increased $1.0 billion or 10% since year
end 1998. Total securities decreased $810 million since year-end 1998.
Mortgages held-for-sale decreased 35.9% or $812 million. Other interest-earning
assets, primarily
primarily representing securitized mortgages classified as trading account securities, decreased $291 million since year end 1998. Total deposits decreased $842 million or 5.8% from year-end 1998; non-interest-bearing deposits decreased 10.4% or $234 million and interest-bearing deposits decreased 5.0% or $608 million. Other borrowed funds decreased $75 million from December 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit withdrawals. Old Kent Bank's liquidity sources consist of securities available-for-sale, maturing loans and securities held-to-maturity, and other short-term investments. Liquidity has also been obtained through liabilities such as customer-related core deposits, funds borrowed, certificates of deposit and public funds deposits.
Old Kent has filed a shelf registration to issue $250 million of common stock, preferred stock, depository shares, debt securities or warrants and a shelf registration to issue an additional $200 million of trust preferred securities. In addition, Old Kent has a $150 million committed line of credit from a syndicate of commercial banks. Sales of securities under these registration statements or advances against the line of credit could also be used as sources of liquidity and capital if and as needed.
At September 30, 1999, shareholders' equity was $1,238.1
million compared to $1,321.9 million at December 31, 1998. The changes
in total shareholders' equity and book value per common share are summarized

As shown in the table below, the Corporation repurchased
approximately 750 thousand shares of its common stock during the three
months ended September 30, 1999. A portion of these shares were repurchased pursuant
to previously announced authorizations by Old Kent's board of directors.
The repurchase of these shares had a beneficial effect on earnings per
common share and return on average equity for the three month period ended
September 30, 1999.

For a number of years, Old Kent has been authorized by its board of directors to repurchase shares in connection with the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Plans, and on a quarterly basis has systematically maintained a level of shares equivalent to permissible needs.
At September 30, 1999, Old Kent held 1.5 million shares of its common stock reserved for reissuance as detailed in the table above. These shares were repurchased under a June, 1999 Board of Directors authorization allowing management to repurchase up to 3.0 million shares of Old Kent Common Stock intended for future reissuance in connection with stock dividends, dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans, and other corporate purposes. Under the authorization, approximately 1.5 million of the total 3.0 million shares authorized are intended for anticipated future stock dividends. These shares will be repurchased in a systematic pattern (on a quarterly ratable basis) of open market and privately negotiated transactions. The remaining 1.5 million shares of the authorization are intended for reissue in connection with the Corporation's dividend reinvestment and employee stock plans, as well as other unspecified corporate purposes such as business acquisitions accounted for as purchases.
At Old Kent's Annual Shareholders meeting in April 1999, the Stock Incentive Plan of 1999 was approved. Stock options have been an important component of Old Kent's executive incentive programs for many years. This new plan awards options to a much broader group of employees. The management of Old Kent believes that stock options are inherently performance-based compensation, in that they depend entirely on growth in stock price for their value. As of June 21, 1999, the Compensation Committee of the Old Kent Board of Directors approved grants of approximately 1.8 million stock options (adjusted for the 5% stock dividend) to employees.
In June, 1999, the Board of Directors of Old Kent Financial Corporation declared a 5% stock dividend payable July 19, 1999, to shareholders of record on June 29, 1999. All per share amounts included in this report have been adjusted to reflect this dividend.
Total equity at September 30, 1999, was decreased by an
after-tax unrealized loss of $35 million on securities available-for-sale.
Shareholders' equity as a percentage of total assets as of September 30,
1999, was 7.02%.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
The information concerning quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained and incorporated by reference in Item 7A of the Corporation's Form 10-K Annual Report for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, is here incorporated by reference.
Old Kent faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Corporation manages this risk with three tools: static GAP analysis, simulation modeling, and economic value of equity estimation. Throughout the first nine months of 1999, the results of these three measurement techniques were within the Corporation's policy guidelines. The Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the Corporation's primary market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Corporation is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Corporation. As of the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, the Corporation does not know of or expect there to be any material change in the general nature of its primary market risk exposure in the near term.
The methods by which the Corporation manages its primary market risk exposures, as described in the sections of its Form 10-K Annual Report incorporated by reference in response to this item, have not changed materially during the current year. As of the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, the Corporation does not expect to change those methods in the near term. However, the Corporation may change those methods in the future to adapt to changes in circumstances or to implement new techniques.
The Corporation's market risk exposure is mainly comprised
of its vulnerability to interest rate risk. Prevailing interest rates and
interest rate relationships are primarily determined by market factors
which are outside of Old Kent's control. All information provided in response
to this item consists of forward looking statements. Reference is made
to the section captioned "Forward Looking Statements" at the beginning
of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for a discussion of the limitations
on Old Kent's responsibility for such statements. In this discussion, "near
term" means a period of one year following the date of the most recent
balance sheet contained in this report.
