Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the
Results of Operations.
Financial Condition
Net changes in loans contributed $139,000 to cash during the first quarter of
1998. This compares to loan growth of $1,312,000 in the first quarter of 1998.
Deposits also contributed to cash during the quarter as the bank experienced
strong growth in demand deposit categories. Investments activities also
contributed to cash as payments on mortgage-backed securities and most maturing
loans were not reinvested. The Corporation continued to maintain its 75% loan to
deposit ratio.
Results of Operations
Net income for the quarter increased 2.7% over the first quarter of 1997.
Earnings per share reached $1.29. Non interest income and expense categories
remained at levels consistent with the Corporation's recent performance.
Risk Factors
Loan quality remains high. The reserve for loan losses to gross loans ratio is
1.59%. The non performing loans to total loans ratios is 1.07%. This ratio
compares loans past due 90 days or more and loans in non-accrual status to total
loans. This is an historically low ratio and indicates a high quality portfolio.
The Corporation remains liability sensitive in relation to the risk of changes
in interest rates. The demand for residential mortgages remains strong in the
market area. Options to maintain both repricing opportunities for assets and
market tendencies for deposits are under constant review.
Capital
Strong net income performance and conservative dividend payments result in
increased capital. The moderate growth results in improving capital ratios. The
Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a one time $4.00 per share
dividend payable April 24, 1998 to shareholders of record on April 10, 1998 at
the March 18, 1998 meeting. This action recognizes the high levels of capital,
acknowledges the support of the shareholder and maintains adequate protection
for the depositors.
