Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
September 30, 2002
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
- -----------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Community
Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First
Community Bank & Trust, a state chartered bank (the "Bank") and First Community
Real Estate Management, Inc. ("FCREMI"). FCREMI holds and manages real estate
used by the Company and the Bank. A summary of significant accounting policies
is set forth in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the December
31, 2001, Annual Report to Stockholders. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The interim consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2002, and for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, have not been audited
by independent accountants, but reflect, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
such periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. The consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
of the Company as of that date.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- ------- and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
The Bank is a subsidiary of the Company and operates as an Indiana commercial
bank. In 1998, the Company formed a new subsidiary, First Community Real Estate
Management, Inc. whose purpose is to purchase and lease back to the Bank
properties originally owned by the Bank thereby allowing the Bank to redeploy
its capital to other uses. The Bank makes monthly lease payments to FCREMI as
lessee of these locations. These lease payments are sufficient to service the
debt incurred by FCREMI to purchase these properties. As a bank holding company,
the Company depends upon the operations of its subsidiaries for all revenue and
reports its results of operations on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries.
The Bank's profitability depends primarily upon the difference between the
income on its loans and investments and the cost of its deposits and borrowings.
This difference is referred to as the spread or net interest margin. The
difference between the amount of interest earned on loans and investments and
the interest incurred on deposits and borrowings is referred to as net interest
income. Interest income from loans and investments is a function of the amount
of loans and investments outstanding during the period and the interest rates
earned. Interest expense related to deposits and borrowings is a function of the
amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the period and the interest
rates paid.
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
The notes to the consolidated financial statements contain a summary of the
Company's significant accounting policies presented on pages F-7 through F-9 of
the Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain
of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or
subjective judgements, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently
uncertain. At this time management believes that its critical accounting
policies include determining the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate that can and does change
based on management's assumptions about specific borrowers and current general
economic and business conditions, among other
10
factors. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on at
least a quarterly basis. The evaluation by management includes consideration of
past loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the
current condition and amount of loans outstanding, identified problem loans and
the probability of collecting all amounts due.
The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the
economic environment and market conditions. A worsening or protracted economic
decline would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and
market risk and could create the need for additional loss reserves.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Total assets increased $1.9 million, or 1.3%, to $149.3 million at September 30,
2002, from $147.4 million at December 31, 2001. Net loans increased from $126.1
million on December 31, 2001 to $127.1 million on September 30, 2002. Deposits
increased from $117.7 million on December 31, 2001 to $121.4 million on
September 30, 2002, an increase of 3.1%. FHLB advances decreased $2.0 million or
12.9% during the same time frame. Stockholders' equity was $10.5 million at
September 30, 2002 as compared to $10.2 million at December 31, 2001.
The Bank has experienced demand in both its commercial and installment sections
of the loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The
increase in net loans of $1.0 million was primarily funded by deposit growth.
Management may seek out alternative funding sources, such as FHLB advances, from
time to time when the terms of these funding sources outperform traditional
deposit terms in the Bank's primary markets or for asset-liability matching
purposes.
Results of Operations Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2002
and September 30, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company had a net income of $420,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002 compared to net income of $273,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001, an increase of $147,000 or 54%. This increase in net income is a
result of continued lowered interest rates and management's focus on increasing
non-interest income.
The Bank's net interest income increased from $1.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 to approximately $1.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2002, an increase of $71,000. This increase is primarily due
to the interest rate reductions that occurred during 2001 with interest rates
remaining at these lower levels throughout 2002. The Bank's deposits were able
to reprice in a higher proportion to the interest-earning assets, which repriced
during this same time frame.
The Company made a $60,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $119,000 for three months ended September 30,
2001, or a decrease of $59,000. The loan loss reserve calculations are reviewed
monthly by both the Bank's senior lending officer and the board of directors.
The calculations consider all loans in the portfolio, with special consideration
given to classified loans and non-performing loans. The Company believes the
current loan loss reserve levels are adequate at this time.
Management continued to focus on increasing non-interest income and holding
steady or reducing non-interest expenses during the quarter ended September 30,
2002. As a result of these efforts, non-interest income increased $185,000 or
63% from $296,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $481,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2002. This increase was primarily due to:
11
o Increased service charges on deposit accounts of $41,000
o Increased realized gain on sale of loans of $52,000
o Increased other operating income of $76,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002.
The increase in service charges on deposit accounts is attributable to more
demand deposit accounts being serviced by the Bank coupled with fee change
differences between periods. The increases in other operating income is
primarily due to credit card merchant and interchange fees, and cash surrender
value increases on Company owned life insurance.
Non-interest expenses increased $80,000 during the quarter ended September 30,
2002, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase
between periods was in primarily due to salaries and employee benefits expenses,
which increased to $649,000 at for the quarter ending September 30, 2002
compared to $601,000 for the same period ending September 30, 2001. Data
processing fees also increased to $188,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002 from $168,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. These
increases are primarily related to servicing more demand deposit, savings
accounts, and loan accounts. Management has made a commitment to continue to
monitor all non-interest expenses to further reduce expenses when practicable.
Income taxes increased $87,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
when compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to an increase in pretax
income over the same period last year.
Results of Operations Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company reported net income of $451,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, a decrease of $213,000 or 32% from the $664,000 reported for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest income increased, $398,000, to
$4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $4.0
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This represents a 10%
increase between the two periods.
The Company made a $922,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to a $222,000 provision for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. An increased provision was taken during the second quarter
and allocated to the commercial loan portfolio, which was necessary primarily
due to continued weakness in the general economy of the Indianapolis metro area
and due to the charge off of two loans that were partially unreserved. The
Company believes that there is potential for recovery of these charged off
loans, but the recoveries may be over several quarters. As previously discussed,
loan loss reserves are reviewed monthly by both the Bank's senior lending
officer and the board of directors.
Non-interest income increased by $336,000 or 41% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to the year earlier period. Increases in number of
demand deposit and savings accounts being serviced along with operational
procedural changes have led to this improvement. The Company was servicing more
demand deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the
year ago period. This increased volume in deposit servicing, coupled with fee
structural changes, have increased service charges collected on deposit accounts
by $72,000. The Company also recognized gains on the sale of loans of $113,000
during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a gain on the sale
of loans of $12,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in other operating income is primarily attributable to increases in
credit card merchant and interchange fees, and cash surrender value of Company
owned life insurance polices.
Non-interest expenses were $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, compared to $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The Company has seen increases in salaries,
12
premises, data processing, printing and office supplies, legal, and other
expenses while experiencing decreases in advertising, FDIC insurance, and
telephone expenses during the comparable periods. The increased data processing
fees can be attributed to servicing more demand, savings, and loan accounts. The
primary increase in non-interest expense is in salaries and benefits expense,
which increased $191,000 to $2.0 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2002, compared to $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2001. Management is continuing to monitor all expense areas and implementing
systems or procedural changes when deemed beneficial to the Company.
Income taxes decreased $89,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
when compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in pretax
income caused by an increased loan loss provision recorded in the second quarter
of 2002.
Asset Quality
- -------------
The Bank currently classifies loans as "substandard", "doubtful" and "loss" to
assist management in addressing collection risks and pursuant to regulatory
requirements, which are not necessarily consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles. Substandard loans represent credits characterized by the
distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if deficiencies are not
corrected. Doubtful loans possess the characteristics of substandard loans, but
collection or liquidation in full is doubtful based upon existing facts,
conditions and values. A loan classified as a loss is considered uncollectible.
As of September 30, 2002, the Bank had $4.4 million of loans classified as
substandard, none as doubtful and none as loss. The allowance for loan losses
was $1.3 million, or .98% of net loans receivable at September 30, 2002 compared
to $1.1 million or .88% of net loans receivable at December 31, 2001. A portion
of classified loans are non-accrual loans. First Community had non-accrual loans
totaling $1.8 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $1.6 million at December
31, 2001. All non-accrual loans are considered substandard.
Asset/Liability Management
- --------------------------
One of the actions undertaken by the Company's management has been to adopt
asset/liability management policies in an attempt to reduce the susceptibility
of the Company's net interest spread to the adverse impact of volatile interest
rates. This goal can be achieved by attempting to match maturities (or
time-to-repricing) of assets with maturities or repricing of liabilities and
then actively managing any mismatch. Accomplishing this objective requires
attention to both the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet. The
difference between maturity of assets and maturity of liabilities is measured by
the interest-rate gap.
At September 30, 2002, the Company's one-year cumulative interest-rate gap as a
percent of total assets was a negative 4.9%. This negative interest-rate gap
represents substantial risk for the Company in an environment of rising interest
rates. A negative interest-rate gap means the Company's earnings are vulnerable
in periods of rising interest rates because during such periods the interest
expense paid on liabilities will generally increase more rapidly than the
interest income earned on assets. Conversely, in a falling interest-rate
environment, the total interest expense paid on liabilities will generally
decrease more rapidly than the interest income earned on assets. A positive
interest-rate gap would have the opposite effect.
Asset management goals have been directed toward obtaining a suitable balance of
asset quality, liquidity and diversification in order to stabilize and improve
earnings. The asset management strategy has concentrated on shortening the
maturity of its loan portfolio by increasing adjustable-rate loans and
short-term installment and commercial loans. However, increasing short-term
installment and commercial loans increases the overall risk of the loan
portfolio. Such risk relates primarily to collection and to the loans that often
are secured by rapidly depreciating assets. The Company's ratio of
non-performing assets to total assets was 1.79% at September 30, 2002 and 1.37%
at December 31, 2001.
13
The primary goal in the management of liabilities has been to extend the
maturities and improve the stability of deposit accounts. Management has
attempted to combine a policy for controlled growth with a strong, loyal
customer base to control interest expense.
The following schedule illustrates the interest-rate sensitivity of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 2002.
Mortgages which have adjustable or renegotiable interest rates are shown as
subject to change every one to three years based upon the contracted-for
adjustment period. This schedule does not reflect the effects of possible
prepayments or enforcement of due-on-sale clauses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Liquidity refers to the ability of a financial institution to generate
sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet savings deposit withdrawals
and pay operating expenses. The primary sources of liquidity are cash,
14
interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, marketable
securities, loan repayments, increased deposits and total institutional
borrowing capacity.
Cash and interest-bearing deposits, when combined with investments, have
remained a relatively constant percent of total assets, while increasing in
dollar volume. Management's goal is to maintain approximately fifteen percent
(15%) to twenty percent (20%) of total assets in cash, interest-bearing deposits
and investments in order to satisfy the Company's need for liquidity and other
short-term obligations.
Management believes that it has adequate liquidity for the Company's short- and
long-term needs. Short-term liquidity needs resulting from normal
deposit/withdrawal functions are provided by the Company retaining a portion of
cash generated from operations in a Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") daily
investment account. This account acts as a short-term liquidity source while
providing interest income to the Company. Long-term liquidity and other
liquidity needs are provided by the ability of the Company to borrow from the
FHLB. The balance of its FHLB advances was $13.5 million at September 30, 2002
and $15.5 million at December 31, 2001.
At September 30, 2002, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage ratio of approximately
7.36% and a total risk-based capital ratio of approximately 10.22%. The
regulatory tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital requirements are 4.0%
and 8.0% respectively.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ---------------------------------------
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation.
The primary assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature.
Consequently, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on
performance than the effects of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not
necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the
liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are
critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
