NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Allegiant Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries:
Allegiant Bank and Edge Mortgage Services, Inc. ("Edge"). The results
of operations of Edge are included through March 19, 1999, the date Edge
was sold to a former officer of our Company. The sale had no material
effect on our consolidated financial statements. The terms "Allegiant,"
"company," "we" and "our" as used in this report refer to Allegiant
Bancorp, Inc. and our subsidiaries as a consolidated entity, except
where it is made clear that it means only Allegiant. Also, sometimes we
refer to our bank subsidiary as the "bank."
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Article 10 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 three-
month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2000.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Comprehensive Income
During the third quarter of 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive
income amounted to $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Year-to-
date total comprehensive income for 2000 and 1999, was $5.5 million and
$3.1 million, respectively.
Trust Preferred Securities
In August 1999, we completed a public offering of 1,725,000 9.875%
Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities
were issued by our subsidiary, Allegiant Capital Trust I, a Delaware
statutory business trust. The Trust Preferred Securities have a
liquidation amount of $10 per security and represent preferred undivided
interests in the assets of the trust which consist solely of the
debentures described below, and payments in respect thereof.
The trust utilized the proceeds from the sale of the trust
preferred securities to purchase at par approximately $17.3 million
aggregate principal amount of 9.875% junior subordinated debentures
issued by us. The junior subordinated debentures bear interest at the
rate of 9.875% per annum, payable quarterly, and mature in August 2029,
subject to earlier repayment
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
at our option at a date no earlier than August 2004. In addition, we may
redeem the junior subordinated debentures prior to such date within 90
days after the occurrence of certain tax events; the trust being deemed
to be an investment company; or there is an adverse change in the
treatment of the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital for bank
regulatory purposes. We have the right to defer payments of interest on
the junior subordinated debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters,
but not beyond their stated maturity date. During any period of interest
deferral, we may not declare or pay cash dividends on, or redeem our
capital stock or repay any debt securities which rank junior to the
junior subordinated debentures.
We used the proceeds from the sale of the junior subordinated
debentures, after payment of expenses of approximately $1.0 million, to
infuse approximately $8.0 million of capital into the bank and to repay
approximately $2.5 million of corporate indebtedness, including $2.0
million which was used to repurchase shares of our common stock. The
balance of the proceeds is being used for general corporate purchases,
including possible future repurchases of our common stock.
Common Stock Repurchase
In July 1999, we repurchased 233,219 shares of our common stock in
a privately negotiated transaction. The aggregate purchase price was
$2.3 million, which was funded by a $2.0 million borrowing under our
revolving line of credit and by cash on hand. We repaid the revolving
line of credit in August 1999 with the proceeds of our trust preferred
securities offering and we also prepaid $500,000 of our term loan with
such proceeds.
On September 15, 1999, we announced a share repurchase program of
up to 5%, or approximately 319,000 shares of our common stock. We
intend to utilize shares repurchased under the plan to meet obligations
under our stock option plans and other stock based plans while
minimizing dilution of shareholders. By March 31, 2000, we had
purchased all 319,000 shares authorized under the repurchase program.
Recent Developments
On July 26, 2000, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Equality Bancorp, Inc. Equality Bancorp is the parent company of
Equality Savings Bank, a Missouri state-chartered savings bank
headquartered in St. Louis with seven locations (including a facility in
Fenton that has not yet been opened), primarily in the Southern half of
the greater St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. The acquisition is
expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2000. Under the terms of the
agreement, we will exchange a total of approximately 2.7 million shares
of our common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of Equality
Bancorp. Subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, each share of
Equality Bancorp is to be exchanged for 1.118 shares of our common
stock.
Equality Bancorp reported assets of $298.4 million at September
30, 2000. Following the merger, we expect to have consolidated total
assets exceeding $1.1 billion, more than $800.0 million of both loans
and deposits and total equity and loan loss allowance in excess of
$100.0 million. Equality Bancorp recently entered into a memorandum of
understanding with its banking regulators, but we do not believe that
the issues raised therein will have a material adverse effect on the
combined company after the acquisition is complete.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business
of us and our subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties. For example, by accepting deposits at
fixed rates, at different times and for different terms, and lending
funds at fixed rates for fixed periods, a bank accepts the risk that the
cost of funds may rise and interest on loans and investment securities
may be at a fixed rate. Similarly, the cost of funds may fall, but a
bank may have committed by virtue of the term of a deposit to pay what
becomes an above-market rate. Investments may decline in value in a
rising interest rate environment. Loans have the risk that the borrower
will not repay all funds in a timely manner as well as the risk of total
loss. Collateral may or may not have the value attributed to it. The
loan loss reserve, while believed adequate, may prove inadequate if one
or more large borrowers, or numerous smaller borrowers, or a combination
of both, experience financial difficulty for individual, national or
international reasons. Because the business of banking is highly
regulated, decisions of governmental authorities, such as the rate of
deposit insurance, can have a major effect on operating results. All of
these uncertainties, as well as others, are present in a banking
operation and shareholders are cautioned that management's view of the
future on which it prices its products, evaluates collateral, sets loan
reserves and estimates costs of operation and regulation may prove to be
other than anticipated.
OVERVIEW
The profitability of our operations depends on our net interest
income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest
expense. Net interest income is the difference between the income we
receive on our loan and investment portfolios and our cost of funds,
which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The
provision for loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in our loan
portfolio. Non-interest income consists primarily of service charges on
deposit accounts and fees for ancillary banking services and, to a
lesser extent, revenues generated from our mortgage banking, securities
brokerage, insurance brokerage and trust operations. Non-interest
expense includes salaries and employee benefits as well as occupancy,
data processing, marketing, professional fees, insurance and other
expenses.
Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields of
interest earning assets compared to the amounts and rates on interest
bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in
market rates of interest and our asset/liability management procedures
in managing those changes. The provision for loan losses is dependent on
increases in the loan portfolio, management's assessment of the
collectibility of the loan portfolio and loss experience, as well as
economic and market factors.
Since the beginning of 1998, we have focused primarily upon
improving the profitability of our banking operations. As a result we
have reduced the amount of one- to four-family mortgages we hold in our
loan portfolio, while increasing the amount of higher yielding
commercial loans. We also have hired several seasoned banking
professionals with experience in the St. Louis metropolitan area. We
have refined our market focus to concentrate exclusively on
opportunities in the higher-growth St. Louis metropolitan area and,
accordingly, we sold three retail banking offices in northeastern
Missouri in December 1998. We also have implemented company-wide cost-
control efforts to enhance efficiencies at our entire operations.
7
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Our primary financial objectives are to continue to grow our loan
portfolio while maintaining high asset quality, expand our core deposit
base to provide a cost-effective and stable source of funding our loan
portfolio and increase non-interest income while maintaining strong
expense controls. We believe we have maintained high asset quality while
managing growth both internally and by acquisition. We also believe our
history of strong credit quality has resulted from sound credit
practices.
On July 26, 2000, we entered into an agreement to acquire Equality
Bancorp, Inc., a savings and loan holding company located in St. Louis,
and its subsidiary bank, Equality Savings Bank, in exchange for
approximately 2.7 million shares of our common stock. The acquisition
is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2000 and will be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting. Subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances, each share of Equality Bancorp common stock will
be exchanged for 1.118 shares of our common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.7
million, a 21% increase over the $1.4 million earned for the third
quarter of 1999. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased 27% to
$0.28 for the third quarter of 2000 compared to $0.22 for the third
quarter of 1999. The annualized return on average assets for the third
quarter of 2000 was 0.81% compared to 0.86% reported for the third
quarter of 1999. The return on average equity on an annualized basis
was 13% for the third quarter of 2000 compared to 12% for the third
quarter of 1999.
Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 was
$4.9 million, a 29% increase over the $3.8 million earned for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1999. Basic earnings per share
increased 40% to $0.81 from $0.58 and diluted earnings per share also
increased 40% to $0.80 from $0.57 in the respective nine-month periods.
The annualized return on average assets was 0.82% and the annualized
return on average equity was 13% for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. This compares to, on an annualized basis, a return on average
assets of 0.80% and a return on average equity of 10% for the
corresponding period in 1999.
We have utilized the purchase method of accounting to reflect our
business combinations. The purchase method results in the recording of
goodwill that is amortized as a non-cash charge to operating expenses.
Goodwill amortization included as an operating expense totaled $237,000
and $712,000, for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively, and $250,000 and $752,000, for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. Cash net income,
which adjusts earnings to exclude goodwill amortization, was $1.9
million and $5.6 million, for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2000, respectively, and $1.7 million and $4.5 million, for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.
Diluted cash earnings per share increased 23% to $0.32 in the third
quarter of 2000 compared to $0.26 in the third quarter of 1999. Diluted
cash earnings per share increased 33% to $0.92 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $0.69 in the 1999 period.
Total assets at September 30, 2000 increased to $876.2 million
from $728.5 million at December 31, 1999. Asset growth during the
period was primarily in loans which, before allowance for loan losses,
increased $125.5 million, or 20%. Deposit balances increased $109.2
million, or 20%, during the first nine months of 2000. Certificates of
deposit increased $102.6 million representing the majority of the net
deposit growth during the period. This growth was a result of
certificate of deposit promotions during the first nine months of 2000.
Non-
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
interest bearing deposits also increased $17.1 million during the first
nine months of 2000 while NOW accounts decreased $5.2 million and money
market accounts decreased $3.9 million during the period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 was $7.8 million, a 18% increase compared to
the $6.5 million reported for the third quarter of 1999. This $1.3
million increase was attributable to an increase of $165.8 million in
average earning assets and a 79 basis point increase in the yield on
earning assets. The $5.0 million increase in interest income was
partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in interest expense. The
increase in interest expense was the result of a $160.0 million increase
in average interest bearing liabilities and an increase of 98 basis
points in the average interest rate paid between the periods.
Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2000 decreased 17
basis points compared to the third quarter of 1999. The earning assets
yield increased 79 basis points while the overall interest rate paid on
interest bearing deposits increased 98 basis points. The net interest
spread decreased 18 basis points comparing the third quarter 2000 to the
third quarter 1999.
Interest expense on deposits increased $3.0 million due to a
$131.8 million increase in average interest bearing deposits and due to
an increase in the rate paid on deposits from 4.54% in the third quarter
of 1999 to 5.60% for the comparable period in 2000. The increase in
interest expense on deposits consisted primarily of a $3.0 million
increase in interest expense on certificates of deposit and a $72,000
increase in interest expense on money market and NOW accounts. The
average balance in certificates of deposit increased by $154.3 million
from the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999 and
average money market and NOW accounts decreased $20.5 million in
comparing these periods. We continue to build our deposit base while
maintaining our focus on personal service. The growth in certificates
of deposit has been the result of special promotions of these products
during 2000.
Interest expense on other interest bearing liabilities increased
$659,000 in the third quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. We issued $17.2
million of trust preferred securities in August 1999 and the interest
expense in the third quarter of 2000 on these securities totaled
$443,000 compared to $290,000 in 1999. Average short-term borrowings
increased $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the
third quarter of 1999. Average long-term borrowings decreased $6.4
million in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of
1999. The average rate on short-term borrowings increased 101 basis
points while the rate paid on long-term borrowings in the third quarter
of 2000 as compared to the third quarter of 1999 increased 18 basis
points.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was $22.5 million, a 22% increase compared to the $18.4 million reported
for the corresponding period in 1999. This $4.1 million increase was
attributable to an increase of $155.9 million in average earning assets
and a 63 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. The $13.4
million increase in interest income was partially offset by a $9.3
million increase in interest expense. The increase in interest expense
was the result of a $153.2 million increase in average interest bearing
liabilities and an increase of 76 basis points in the average interest
rate paid.
Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2000 decreased 13
basis points compared to the corresponding period in 1999. The earning
assets yield increased 63 basis points while the overall interest rate
paid on interest bearing deposits increased 72 basis points.

The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the changes
in interest income and interest expense which were attributable to change
in average volume and changes in average rates. Volume variances are
computed using the change in volume multiplied by the previous year's
rate. Rate variances are computed using the changes in rate multiplied
by the previous year's volume. The change in interest due to both rate
and volume has been allocated between the factors in proportion to the
relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Other Income. Other income increased $379,000, or 31%, to $1.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the
third quarter of 1999. Service charge income for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 increased $183,000, or 106%, compared to the
third quarter of 1999. Overdraft fee income for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 increased $136,000, or 52%, compared to the
third quarter of 1999. The increase in these two categories was
attributable to an increased deposit base and our focus on revenue
enhancement programs. In March 2000, we made an investment in bank
owned life insurance that resulted in $217,000 of income for the third
quarter of 2000. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000 mortgage
banking revenue was $136,000 compared to $182,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. The change was the result of a general slow down in
mortgage refinancings.
Other income increased by $796,000, or 22%, from $3.7 million to
$4.4 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and
2000, respectively. The variations in other income categories discussed
above for the three-month periods resulted from similar trends for the
year-to-date amounts.
Other Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to the third quarter of 1999, other expenses increased $1.1
million, or 23%, to $5.8 million from $4.7 million. The increase in
other expenses includes increased salaries and benefit expense and the
costs associated with our opening of our new branches in Ballwin,
Chesterfield and the Jefferson Arms in Downtown St. Louis.
Salaries and employee benefits increased 9% to $2.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.5 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1999. We had 214 full-time
equivalent employees at September 30, 2000 compared to 229 full-time
equivalent employees at September 30, 1999. Total annualized cost per
full-time equivalent employee was $50,311 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $42,792 for the corresponding period of
1999.
Expenses associated with premises and equipment also increased for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999, with occupancy expense increasing $39,000, or 12%, and
furniture and equipment increasing $19,000, or 5%. The increase in
these expense categories includes the additional costs associated with
our Ballwin and Chesterfield branches. Advertising and business
development expenses increased by $226,000 for the third quarter of 2000
compared to the third quarter of 1999 due to increased efforts to
promote our company and attract new business.
Our efficiency ratio was 61.6% for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 compared to 61.4% for the third quarter of 1999. The efficiency
ratio remained relatively unchanged even though this year's expenses
include the costs associated with the opening of the Chesterfield and
Jefferson Arms branches in 2000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 other expenses
increased $2.1 million, or 15%, to $16.3 million from $14.2 million for
the corresponding period in 1999. The variance in expense categories
discussed above for the three-month periods reflected similar trends for
the year-to-date amounts. Our efficiency ratio was 60.6% for the first
nine months of 2000 compared to 64.3% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This improvement reflected our commitment to
improving our overall efficiency by continuing to emphasize revenue
growth while maintaining control over our operating costs as we continue
to expand our banking franchise.

Securities Portfolio. Our securities portfolio consists of
securities classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. We
designate these securities upon purchase into one of these two
categories. At September 30, 2000, held-to-maturity securities amounted
to $5.4 million representing those securities we intended to hold to
maturity. Securities designated as available-for-sale totaled $58.4
million representing securities which we may sell to meet liquidity
needs or in response to significant changes in interest rates or
prepayment patterns.
For purposes of this discussion, held-to-maturity and available-
for-sale securities are described as the securities portfolio. At
September 30, 2000, the securities portfolio totaled $63.8 million, an
increase of $3.0 million from December 31, 1999. We maintain a
traditional short-term laddered portfolio investment strategy to afford
adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk.
The carrying values of the securities portfolio at the dates
indicated were as follows:

Loans. Loans historically have been the primary component of
earning assets. At September 30, 2000, loans totaled $740.7 million, an
increase of 20% from year-end 1999. Substantially all of these loans
were originated in our market area. At September 30, 2000, we had no
foreign loans and only a minimal amount of participations purchased.
The largest increase in loans involved real estate construction
loans, which increased $54.6 million, or 84%. The increase was primarily
due to loans made to home builders. As a result of this emphasis, real
estate construction loans comprised 16% of the loan portfolio at
September 30, 2000, as compared to 11% at December 31, 1999. Multi-
family and commercial real estate mortgage loans showed the second
largest increase of $52.7 million, or 22% during the first nine months
of 2000. The increase in these loans reflected our efforts to grow our
commercial loan portfolio, including loans originated by our expanded
commercial lending staff. Multi-family and commercial real estate
mortgage loans comprised 39% of the portfolio at September 30, 2000
compared to 38% at year-end 1999.

portfolio at the dates indicated:

Asset Quality. Non-performing assets consist of the following:
non-accrual loans on which the ultimate collectibility of the full
amount of interest is uncertain; loans which have been renegotiated to
provide for a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of
a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower; and loans
past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest and other real
estate owned. Non-performing assets increased to $1.7 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 1999. At
September 30, 2000, non-performing assets represented 0.22% of total
assets compared to 0.14% at December 31, 1999. Non-accrual loans
totaled $1.2 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $606,000 at
December 31, 1999. The increase in non-performing loans includes a few
loans which the bank has identified as potential problems through our
ongoing loan review procedures. We do not anticipate any losses which
have not already been allocated on these specific loans and we have
proactively increased our collection efforts in order to receive
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
repayment in full or to move these loans out of the bank through
refinance with another institution.
We continually analyze our loan portfolio to identify potential
risk elements. The loan portfolio is reviewed by lending management and
the bank's internal loan review staff. As an integral part of their
examination process, the various regulatory agencies periodically review
our allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was
$1.6 million during the first nine months of 2000 compared to $1.0
million for the first nine months of 1999. Net charge-offs were
$301,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
$369,000 for the first nine months of 1999. Net charge-offs for the
first nine months of 2000 represented 0.05% of average loans, compared
to 0.07% of average loans for the first nine months of 1999.
The allowance for loan losses increased to $10.0 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $7.5 million at September 30, 1999. As a
percentage of loans outstanding, the allowance represented 1.35% of
loans at September 30, 2000, 1.35% at December 31, 1999 and 1.31% at
September 30, 1999.

were the result of the change in the composition of the loan portfolio
and the shift in our lending focus to higher yielding commercial
relationships. This shift, while providing higher earnings potential,
does entail greater risk than traditional residential mortgage loans.
Additional weight has been given to the increased risks associated with
the commercial real estate portfolio. Specific allowances have been
increased on certain commercial real estate loans based on individual
revenues of these loans and an estimate of the borrower's ability to
repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of
cash flow and collection options available to us. The specific review
of these commercial real estate loans resulted in the increase in the
percentage of allowances allocated to this loan category.
The allowance for loan losses is provided at a level considered
adequate to provide for potential losses and, among other things, is
based on management's evaluation of the anticipated impact on the loan
portfolio of current economic conditions, changes in the character and
size of the loan portfolio, evaluation of potential problem loans
identified based on existing circumstances know to management. We
continually monitor the quality of the loan portfolio to ensure the
timely charge-off of problem loans and to determine the adequacy of the
level of the allowance for loan losses. We presently believe that our
asset quality, as measured by the statistics in the following table,
continues to be very high and that our allowance was adequate to absorb
potential losses inherent in the portfolio at September 30, 2000.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $109.2 million, or 20% during
the first nine months of 2000. The increase in deposits consisted
primarily of a $102.6 million increase in certificates of deposit.
Much of this growth was the result of certificate of deposit promotions
during the first nine months of 2000. Non-interest bearing deposits
increased by $17.1 million, or 33%, to $68.9 million at September 30,
2000 while our NOW and money market accounts decreased by $9.6 million,
or 5%, during the first nine months of 2000. We have been successful
in expanding our overall deposit base while maintaining our focus on
personal service. Our lending officers have increased commercial
deposits while our retail banking staff continues efforts to increase
our core deposits.
The following table summarizes deposits as of the dates
indicated:
