HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter of 1997, Triangle Bancorp ("the Company")
continued it's strategy of growth with the signing of a Letter of
Intent to acquire Bank of Mecklenburg, Charlotte, North Carolina on
March 27, 1997. Bank of Mecklenburg has $274 million in assets as of
March 31, 1997; this transaction is discussed further in Part II, Item
5. The Company's subsidiary, Triangle Bank ("Triangle") opened a de
novo branch in Raleigh and entered the in-store delivery market in
April with plans for additional in-store locations throughout 1997.
Also in the first quarter of 1997, the Company surpassed the one
billion dollar mark in total assets.
OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$3,042,000 compared to $2,547,000 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of 19%. Earnings per common share were $0.28 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $0.24 per common share for the
same period in 1996.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the annualized returns on
average assets and equity were 1.25% and 14.01%, respectively, compared
to 1.18% and 12.69%, respectively for the same period in 1996.
Core earnings for the period were positively impacted by an increase in
net interest income due to an increase in the volume of earning assets.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$10,600,000 compared to $9,442,000 for the same period in 1996 an
increase of $1,158,000 or 12%. Average earning assets increased $114
million, primarily in loans ($78 million) and investment securities
($30 million). Average costing liabilities increased by $97 million,
$31 million in savings and money market deposits and $61 million in
time deposits less than $100,000. The net yield on interest earning
assets decreased slightly to 4.74% at March 31, 1997 from 4.78% as of
March 31, 1996.
For the three months ended March 31, 1997, a loan loss provision of
$500,000 was made compared to a provision of $312,000 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in provision was due to growth in the loan
portfolio and a continued commitment to maintaining adequate loan loss
reserves.
<PAGE>
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$1,988,000 compared to $2,048,000 for the same period in 1996 a
decrease of $60,000 or 3%. Increases were seen in income from
investment services and the sale of loans. However, they were offset by
a decrease in service charge income primarily in overdraft charges; a
decrease in fees related to mortgage originations and associated fees
due to a decrease in volume; and a decrease in other income which
included a loss of $104,000 on the sale of a vacant facility.
Noninterest expenses were relatively flat with an increase of $116,000,
or 1.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same
period in 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, personnel costs
deferred associated with SFAS 91 were adjusted upward to more
accurately reflect the cost of originating loans. This resulted in a
decrease in salaries and employee benefits compared to the first
quarter of 1996. Increases in occupancy and office expenses were
incurred due to the net addition of four branches over the first
quarter of 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $1.01 billion as of March 31, 1997 an increase of $39
million from December 31, 1996. The increase from December 31, 1996 to
March 31, 1997 is in the loan portfolio as well as securities available
for sale. This growth was funded by a $32 million increase in deposit
accounts primarily in savings and money market and time deposits less
than $100,000.
The Company continued to maintain strong loan loss reserves during the
period. As a result of loan growth, the provision was increased to
$500,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $312,000 for
same period in 1996. Nonaccrual loans were $2,011,000 at March 31, 1997
versus $1,120,000 at March 31, 1996. This increase reflect is the
results of two relationships as well as loan growth of 14%. The loan
loss reserves at March 31, 1997 were 1.52% of gross loans and 226% of
nonperforming assets and other real estate owned compared to 1.49% and
311%, respectively, at March 31, 1996. Although nonaccrual loans have
increased from the year ago period, management feels loan loss reserves
are adequate. A summary of certain information related to the loan loss
reserves and nonperforming assets as of March 31, 1997 follows:

than $100,000.

First Quarter Report
1997
Dear Shareholders
The first quarter of 1997 was another quarter of record profits for Triangle
Bancorp. Net income for the quarter was $3.0 million, an increase of 20% over
the $2.5 million reported for the first quarter of 1996. Earnings per share
increased by 17%, growing from $.24 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to
$.28 for the same period in 1997. Returns on average assets and average equity
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were 1.25% and 14.01%, respectively,
compared to 1.18% and 12.69%, respectively, for the same period in 1996.
We are especially pleased to announce that total assets on March 31, 1997
surpassed the one billion dollar mark, ending the period at $1,010 million, a
13% increase over the $897 million in assets reported on March 31, 1996. This
is a significant milestone in the history of our Company, and was achieved
less than ten years from the date we opened for business in January 1988. For
the quarter, gross loans grew to $682 million, an increase of 14% over the
$596 million reported in 1996, while at the same time deposits grew to $879
million from $763 million, an increase of 15%.
On March 27th, we announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire the
Bank of Mecklenburg which operates three offices in Charlotte, N.C. and had $270
million in total assets as of December 31, 1996. This will be an excellent
addition to our community bank franchise, and we're excited about entering the
dynamic Charlotte market. We plan to execute the definitive agreement in
April, and complete the merger in the fall of this year.
During the quarter, our stock price increased appreciably from $16.38 on
December 31, 1996 to $19.13 on March 31, 1997, an increase of 16%. The price of
our stock has increased by 28% during the past twelve months, from $15.00 to
$19.13. During the same twelve month period, the quarterly cash dividend
increased by 43%, growing from $.07 per share on March 31, 1996 to $.10 per
share on March 31, 1997.
We hope you are pleased with our first quarter results, especially the
attainment of over $1 billion in assets, along with our continued growth in
quarterly net income. We are optimistic that we will continue to report positive
results for your Company for the remainder of 1997.
Thank you for your support of Triangle Bancorp. We encourage your attendance
at our annual shareholder meeting to be held in Greenville, N.C. on April 28,
1997.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Patterson
President and CEO
