4. Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 "Business Combinations" (FAS 141) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). FAS 141 requires all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.
Under FAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not
deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of FAS 142 apply
to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to
goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company was
required to adopt FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new
accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (FAS
143). FAS 143 requires liability recognition for retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets. The obligations included within the
scope of FAS 143 are those for which a company faces a legal obligation for
settlement. The initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation is to be
at fair value. The asset retirement cost equal to the fair value of the
retirement obligation is to be capitalized as part of the cost of the related
long-lived asset and amortized to expense over the useful life of the asset. FAS
143 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company
does not believe that FAS 143 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and
Disposal of Long-lived Assets" (FAS 144). This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
FAS 144 supercedes FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets
and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of the business previously defined
in that opinion. FAS 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements" to eliminate the exception to consolidation
for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company does
not believe that FAS 144 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FAS 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FAS 13, and Technical Corrections" (FAS 145). This statement
updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements with
respect to the accounting for gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt.
FAS 4 required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related
tax effect. As a result of the rescission of FAS 4, the criteria in APB Opinion
No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The provisions of
this statement are applicable to transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The
Company does not believe that FAS 145 will have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS 146). This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principal
difference between this Statement and Issue 94-3 relates to its requirements for
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under
Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized
at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental
conclusion reached by the Board in this Statement is that an entity's
commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others
that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, this Statement eliminates
the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3.
This Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial
measurement of the liability. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with
early application encouraged. The Company does not believe that FAS 146 will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS - Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to June 30, 2001.
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition, changes
in financial condition, and results of operations of Southside Bancshares, Inc.
(the "Company"), and should be read and reviewed in conjunction with the
financial statements, and the notes thereto, in this presentation and in the
Company's latest report on Form 10-K.
The Company reported an increase in net income for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Net income for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.4 million and $6.1 million
compared to $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the same period in 2001.
All share data has been adjusted to give retroactive recognition to stock splits
and stock dividends.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements of other than historical fact that are contained in this
document and in written material, press releases and oral statements issued by
or on behalf of the Company may be considered to be "forward-looking statements"
as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements may include words such as "expect," "estimate," "project,"
"anticipate," "should," "intend," "probability," "risk," "target," "objective"
and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant
risks and uncertainties and the Company's actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For example,
certain market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model
characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. See
"Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations." By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures
are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs
in the future. As a result, actual income gains and losses could materially
differ from those that have been estimated. Other factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to general economic conditions, either nationally or in the
State of Texas, legislation or regulatory changes which adversely affect the
businesses in which the Company is engaged, changes in the interest rate
environment which reduce interest margins and may impact prepayments on the
mortgage-backed securities portfolio, changes effecting the leverage strategy,
significant increases in competition in the banking and financial services
industry, changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits,
technological changes, the Company's ability to increase market share and
control expenses, the effect of compliance with legislation or regulatory
changes, the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices and the
costs and effects of unanticipated litigation.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $16.5 million, an
increase of $1.6 million or 10.6% for the six months when compared to the same
period in 2001. Average interest earning assets increased $58.5 million or 5.2%,
while the net interest spread increased from 2.14% at June 30, 2001 to 2.66% at
June 30, 2002 and the net margin increased from 2.93% at June 30, 2001 to 3.17%
at June 30, 2002. The increase in net interest spread and margin is primarily a
result of the decrease in interest expense on the brokered Certificates of
Deposit (CD's) called during the first six months of 2001.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Average Loans, funded primarily by
the growth in average deposits and average FHLB Dallas advances, increased $44.8
million or 9.1%, compared to the same period in 2001. The average yield on loans
decreased from 8.59% at June 30, 2001 to 7.37% at June 30, 2002 reflective of
the overall decrease in interest rates during the year.
Average Securities increased $13.3 million or 2.2% for the six months ended June
30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. This increase was a direct
result of the leverage strategy implemented in 1998. The overall yield on
Average Securities decreased to 5.58% during the six months ended June 30, 2002
from 6.76% during the same period in 2001. The decrease is reflective of overall
lower interest rates, increased prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities
which led to increased amortization expense and a restructuring of a portion of
the securities portfolio in an effort to lower duration.
Income from equity securities, interest income from federal funds and other
interest earning assets decreased $243,000 or 39.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 when compared to 2001 as a result of the decrease in the
9
average yield from 5.13% in 2001 to 3.04% at June 30, 2002, due to lower
interest rates.
Total interest expense decreased $7.0 million or 27.5% to $18.5 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $25.6 million during the same
period in 2001. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in the average yield
on interest bearing liabilities from 5.40% at June 30, 2001 to 3.69% at June 30,
2002. Average Interest Bearing Deposits increased $37.7 million or 6.9% while
the average rate paid decreased from 5.14% at June 30, 2001 to 2.88% at June 30,
2002, which is due in part to the call of the higher cost long-term brokered CDs
during 2001.
During March 2001, the Company notified CD holders that $24.6 million of
brokered CDs were being called April 12, 2001. The Company recorded $195,000 of
additional interest expense associated with the call of the CDs during the first
quarter ended March 31, 2001. During April 2001, the Company notified CD holders
that the remaining $30.0 million of brokered CDs would be called May 24, 2001.
An additional $357,000 of expense was incurred during the second quarter ending
June 30, 2001, associated with the call of the brokered CDs. These CDs were
replaced with long-term advances from the FHLB at an average rate of
approximately 5.40% and an average life of approximately 4.9 years. The
Company's current policy allows for a maximum of $100 million in brokered CDs.
The potential of higher interest cost and lack of customer loyalty are risks
associated with the use of brokered CDs. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
the Company had no brokered CDs and brokered CDs represented zero percent of
deposits
Average Short-term Interest Bearing Liabilities, consisting primarily of FHLB
Dallas advances and Federal Funds Purchased, decreased $4.0 million or 2.4% as
compared to the same period in 2001. Average Long-term Interest Bearing
Liabilities consisting of FHLB Dallas advances increased $25.0 million or 12.1%
compared to $206.1 million at June 30, 2001. The advances were obtained from
FHLB Dallas as part of the Company's balance sheet leverage strategy and
partially to fund long-term loans. FHLB Dallas advances are collateralized by
FHLB Dallas stock, securities and nonspecified real estate loans.
The Company has adopted a balance sheet strategy going forward in which it will
attempt to gradually reduce Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as a percentage of
deposits. On the asset side, the Company will attempt to gradually reduce the
securities portfolio as a percentage of earning assets. The leverage strategy
the Company has in place is designed to enhance net income and shareholder
return with as minimal interest rate risk as possible. The leverage strategy is
dynamic in nature and requires continuous management as the Company's balance
sheet changes and the interest rate environment changes. The Company does not
maintain the leverage strategy for any other reason at this time. One of the
risks associated with the asset structure the Company maintains is a lower net
interest rate spread and margin when compared to peers. This asset structure,
spread and margin increases the need to monitor the Company's interest rate
risk.
Average Long-Term Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures decreased from
$17.0 million at June 30, 2001 to $16.1 million at June 30, 2002. During the six
months ended June 30, 2002, 187,994 convertible trust preferred shares were
converted into 197,393 shares of the Company's common stock. During the second
quarter ended June 30, 2002, 183,494 convertible trust preferred shares were
converted into 192,668 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to June
30, 2002, an additional 29,200 convertible trust preferred shares were converted
into 30,660 shares of the Company's common stock. The total convertible trust
preferred shares converted to date represents 12.8% of the convertible trust
preferred issue.
Average Long Term Junior Subordinated Debentures remained the same at $20
million from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002.

liabilities together with the average yield on the interest earning assets and

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002
compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2001. Deposit services income
increased $573,000 or 12.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Deposit
services income increased primarily as a direct result of the overdraft
privilege program and also due to increased numbers of deposit accounts and
increased deposit activity from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Other
noninterest income increased $896,000 or 92.9% for the six months ended June 30,
2002 primarily as a result of increases in bank owned life insurance income and
mortgage servicing release fee income. During the six months ended June 30,
2002, the Company had gains on the sale of securities of $1.0 million compared
to $2.3 million for the same period in 2001. The Company sold available for sale
securities during 2002 to restructure a portion of the securities portfolio.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (FAS 133). As
allowed by FAS 133, at the date of initial application of this statement, the
Company transferred held to maturity securities with an amortized cost of $155.2
million into the available for sale category. In addition, the Company
transferred held to maturity securities with an amortized cost of $99.8 million
and a market value of $98.3 million into the trading category. The effect of
adopting FAS 133 is shown as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle and reduced net income by $994,000 (net of taxes) during the first
quarter of 2001. The Company sold the securities transferred into the trading
category along with previously existing available for sale securities which
resulted in realized gains of $1.8 million or an after tax gain of $1.2 million.
These separate transactions allowed the Company to reposition the investment
portfolio while having a positive impact of $302,000 or $199,000 (net of taxes)
on consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2001.
The market value of the entire securities portfolio at June 30, 2002 was $654.6
million with a net unrealized gain on that date of $10.2 million. The net
unrealized gain is comprised of $10.9 million in unrealized gains and $0.7
million in unrealized losses.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
compared to $14.5 million for the same period of 2001, representing an increase
of $2.5 million or 17.0%.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $2.0 million or 22.8% during the six
months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. The Company
has opened five new branches during this time period. These openings combined
with normal payroll increases and higher benefit costs were the primary reasons
for the increase. Direct salary expense and payroll taxes increased $1.6 million
or 22.1% as a result of personnel additions for the six months ended June 30,
2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. Branch expansion combined with
normal payroll increases accounted for this increase. Retirement expense
increased $226,000 or 35.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared
to the same period in 2001, primarily as a result of the increase in the number
of participants, level of performance of retirement plan assets and actuarial
assumptions. Health insurance expense increased $191,000 or 19.7% for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001. The Company
has a self-insured health plan which is supplemented with stop loss insurance
policies. During the six month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company
experienced higher costs associated with this plan.
Net occupancy expense increased $304,000 or 18.9% for the six months ended June
30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, largely due to branch expansion,
higher real estate taxes and depreciation expense.
Other expense increased $220,000 or 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002
compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to increases in vehicle
expense, bank analysis fees and collection fee expense.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for the income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002
was 12.1% compared to 23.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease
in the effective tax rate and income tax expense is due to the increase in tax
free income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The Company expects its tax free income as a
percentage of total income to gradually begin to decrease which should gradually
increase the Company's effective tax rate.
12
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity for the Company at June 30, 2002, of $73.4 million
was up $4.8 million from December 31, 2001, and represented 5.61% of total
assets at June 30, 2002 compared to 5.37% of total assets at December 31, 2001.
Increases to shareholders' equity during the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
net income of $6.1 million and common stock (283,804 shares) issued primarily
through the conversion of convertible trust preferred shares and the Company's
dividend reinvestment and incentive stock option plans of $2.4 million and an
increase of $735,000 in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale.
Decreases to shareholders' equity consisted of $1.3 million in dividends paid to
shareholders and the purchase of 222,600 shares of the Company's common stock
for $3.4 million.
Under the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding
companies, the minimum ratio of total capital to risk-adjusted assets (including
certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is currently
eight percent. The minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets is four
percent. A portion of the $20 million trust preferred securities is considered
Tier 1 capital by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Board also
requires bank holding companies to comply with the minimum leverage ratio
guidelines. The leverage ratio is a ratio of bank holding company's Tier 1
capital to its total consolidated quarterly average assets, less goodwill and
certain other intangible assets. The guidelines require a minimum average of
four percent for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria.
Failure to meet minimum capital regulations can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulation, that if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. At June
30, 2002, the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital
requirements.
The Federal Reserve Deposit Insurance Act requires bank regulatory agencies to
take "prompt corrective action" with respect to FDIC-insured depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. A depository
institution's treatment for purposes of the prompt corrective action provisions
will depend on how its capital levels compare to various capital measures and
certain other factors, as established by regulation.
It is management's intention to maintain the Company's capital at a level
acceptable to all regulatory authorities and future dividend payments will be
determined accordingly. Regulatory authorities require that any dividend
payments made by either the Company or the Bank not exceed earnings for that
year.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Liquidity management involves the ability to convert assets to cash with a
minimum of loss. The Company must be capable of meeting its obligations to its
customers at any time. This means addressing (1) the immediate cash withdrawal
requirements of depositors and other funds providers; (2) the funding
requirements of all lines and letters of credit; and (3) the short-term credit
needs of customers. Liquidity is provided by short-term investments that can be
readily liquidated with a minimum risk of loss. Cash, Interest Earning Deposits,
Federal Funds Sold and short-term investments with maturities or repricing
characteristics of one year or less continue to be a substantial percentage of
total assets. At June 30, 2002, these investments were 21.8% of Total Assets.
Liquidity is further provided through the matching, by time period, of rate
sensitive interest earning assets with rate sensitive interest bearing
liabilities. The Company has three lines of credit for the purchase of federal
funds. Two $15.0 million and one $10.0 million unsecured lines of credit have
been established with Bank of America, Frost Bank and Texas Independent Bank,
respectively. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating
net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of new interest income
through periods of changing interest rates. Through this process, market value
volatility is also a key consideration.
The Asset Liability Management Committee of the Bank closely monitors various
liquidity ratios, interest rate spreads and margins, interest rate shock reports
and market value of portfolio equity (MVPE) with rates shocked plus and minus
200 basis points to ensure a satisfactory liquidity position for the Company. In
addition, the Bank utilizes a simulation model to determine the impact of net
interest income under several different interest rate scenarios. By utilizing
this technology, the Bank can determine changes that need to be made to the
asset and liability mixes to minimize the change in net interest income under
these various interest rate scenarios.
On November 2, 2000, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, Southside
Capital Trust II, (the "junior subordinated convertible issuer"), sold 1,695,000
cumulative convertible preferred securities (the "junior subordinated
convertible debentures") at a liquidation amount of $10 per convertible
preferred security for an aggregate amount of $16,950,000. These securities have
a convertible feature that allows the owner to convert each security to a share
of
13
the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $9.52 per common share. The
debentures have a distribution rate of 8.75% per annum payable at the end of
each calendar quarter.
The proceeds received by the Company from the Trust II Issuer continues to be
used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, capital
contributions to the Bank to support growth, for working capital, the repurchase
of shares of the Company's common stock and acquisitions by the Company.
Composition of Loans
The Company's main objective is to seek attractive lending opportunities in East
Texas and adjoining counties. Total Average Loans increased $44.8 million or
9.1% from the six months ended June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. The majority of
the increase is in loans to municipalities and school districts. The increase in
Municipal Loans is due to a strong commitment in municipal lending.
Loan Loss Experience and Reserve for Loan Losses
The loan loss reserve is based on the most current review of the loan portfolio
at that time. An internal loan review officer of the Company is responsible for
an ongoing review of the Bank's entire loan portfolio with specific goals set
for the volume of loans to be reviewed on an annual basis.
A list of loans which are graded as having more than the normal degree of risk
associated with them are maintained by the internal loan review officer. This
list is updated on a periodic basis but no less than quarterly by the servicing
officer in order to properly allocate necessary reserves and keep management
informed on the status of attempts to correct the deficiencies noted in the
credit.
While management is aware of certain risk factors within segments of the loan
portfolio, reserve allocations have been made on an individual loan basis. An
additional reserve is maintained on the remainder of the portfolio of at risk
loans that is based on tracking of the Company's loan losses on loans that have
not been previously identified as problems.
For the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, loan charge-offs were
$828,000 and $1,172,000 and recoveries were $60,000 and $166,000, respectively,
resulting in net charge-offs of $768,000 and $1,006,000. For the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2001, loan charge-offs were $409,000 and $607,000
and recoveries were $297,000 and $436,000, respectively, resulting in net
charge-offs of $112,000 and $171,000.
Net charge-offs increased for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due to
increases in the loan portfolio over the last three to four years and slight
changes in the economic conditions of the market area. As a result of this and
other factors, the necessary provision expense was estimated at $1.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Nonperforming Assets
The categories of nonperforming assets consist of delinquent loans over 90 days
past due, nonaccrual and restructured loans, other real estate owned and
repossessed assets. Delinquent loans over 90 days past due represent loans for
which the payment of principal or interest has not been received in a timely
manner. The full collection of both the principal and interest is still expected
but is being withheld due to negotiation or other items expected to be resolved
in the near future. Generally, a loan is categorized as nonaccrual when
principal or interest is past due 90 days or more, unless, in the determination
of management, the principal and interest on the loan are well secured and in
the process of collection. In addition, a loan is placed on nonaccrual when, in
the opinion of management, the future collectibility of interest and principal
is in serious doubt. When a loan is categorized as nonaccrual, the accrual of
interest is discontinued and any remaining accrued interest is reversed in that
period; thereafter, interest income is recorded only when actually received.
Restructured loans represent loans which have been renegotiated to provide a
reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of deterioration in the
financial position of the borrowers. Categorization of a loan as nonperforming
is not in itself a reliable indicator of potential loan loss. Other factors,
such as the value of collateral securing the loan and the financial condition of
the borrower must be considered in judgments as to potential loan loss. Other
Real Estate Owned (OREO) represents real estate taken in full or partial
satisfaction of debts previously contracted.
Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2002 were $3.6 million, up $1.2 million
or 49.4% from $2.4 million at December 31, 2001. Other real estate increased
$942,000 or 1,449.2% to $1.0 million from December 31, 2001 to
14
June 30, 2002. Of this total, 54% consist of five residential dwellings, 28% is
the construction of a residential dwelling and 18% is a commercial building. The
Company is actively marketing all properties and none are being held for
investment purposes. From December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002, nonaccrual loans
increased $644,000 or 71.9% to $1.5 million. Of this total, 19% are construction
and land development loans, 18% are residential real estate loans, 8% are
commercial real estate loans, 31% are commercial loans and 24% are loans to
individuals. Loans 90 days past due or more decreased $265,000 or 28.0% to
$680,000. Restructured loans decreased $3,000 or 1.1% to $ 280,000. Repossessed
assets decreased $132,000 or 62.0% to $81,000.
Expansion
During the first six months of 2002 the Company opened five new full service
branches. Two of the branches are located in Whitehouse, two in Tyler and one in
Longview. Four of the full service branches are located in grocery stores.
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 "Business Combinations" (FAS 141) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). FAS 141 requires all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method.
Under FAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no
longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment
indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not
deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful
lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of FAS 142 apply
to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to
goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the Company was
required to adopt FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this new
accounting pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (FAS
143). FAS 143 requires liability recognition for retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets. The obligations included within the
scope of FAS 143 are those for which a company faces a legal obligation for
settlement. The initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation is to be
at fair value. The asset retirement cost equal to the fair value of the
retirement obligation is to be capitalized as part of the cost of the related
long-lived asset and amortized to expense over the useful life of the asset. FAS
143 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company
does not believe that FAS 143 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and
Disposal of Long-lived Assets" (FAS 144). This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
FAS 144 supercedes FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets
and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the
Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a
Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and
Transactions," for the disposal of a segment of the business previously defined
in that opinion. FAS 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements" to eliminate the exception to consolidation
for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The Company does
not believe that FAS 144 will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FAS 4, 44, and 64,
Amendment of FAS 13, and Technical Corrections" (FAS 145). This statement
updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements with
respect to the accounting for gains and losses from the extinguishments of debt.
FAS 4 required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related
tax effect. As a result of the rescission of FAS 4, the criteria in APB Opinion
No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The provisions of
this statement are applicable to transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The
Company does not believe that FAS 145 will have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
15
In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS 146). This Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The principal
difference between this Statement and Issue 94-3 relates to its requirements for
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under
Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized
at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental
conclusion reached by the Board in this Statement is that an entity's
commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others
that meets the definition of a liability. Therefore, this Statement eliminates
the definition and requirements for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3.
This Statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial
measurement of the liability. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with
early application encouraged. The Company does not believe that FAS 146 will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the banking industry, a major risk exposure is changing interest rates. The
primary objective of monitoring the Company's interest rate sensitivity, or
risk, is to provide management the tools necessary to manage the balance sheet
to minimize adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the
direction and level of interest rates. Federal Reserve Board monetary control
efforts, the effects of deregulation and legislative changes have been
significant factors affecting the task of managing interest rate sensitivity
positions in recent years.
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management
closely monitors the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. Management
maintains an asset/liability committee which meets regularly and reviews the
Company's interest rate risk position and makes recommendations for adjusting
this position. In addition, the Board reviews on a monthly basis the Company's
asset/liability position. The Company primarily uses two methods for measuring
and analyzing interest rate risk: Net income simulation analysis and market
value of portfolio equity modeling. Through these simulations the Company
attempts to estimate the impact on net interest income of a 200 basis point
parallel shift in the yield curve. Policy guidelines limit the estimated change
in net interest income to 10 percent of forecasted net income over the
succeeding 12 months and 200 basis point parallel rate shock. Policy guidelines
limit the change in market value of equity in a 200 basis point parallel rate
shock to 20 percent of the base case. The results of the valuation analysis as
of June 30, 2002, were within policy guidelines. This type of stimulation
analysis requires numerous assumptions including but not limited to changes in
balance sheet mix, prepayment assumptions and changes in spreads. Assumptions
are based on management's best estimates but may not accurately reflect actual
results under certain changes in interest rates.

The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Except for the
effects of prepayments and scheduled principal amortization, the table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by the
contractual term to maturity. Nonaccrual loans are not included in the loan
totals. All instruments are classified as other than trading.

Residential fixed rate loans are assumed to have annual prepayment rates between
7% and 35% of the portfolio. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans are
assumed to prepay at an annualized rate between 10% and 39%. Consumer loans are
assumed to prepay at an annualized rate between 10% and 45%. Fixed and
adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities, including Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations ("CMOs") and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits ("REMICs"),
have annual payment assumptions ranging from 6% to 50%. At June 30, 2002, the
contractual maturity of substantially all of the Company's mortgage-backed or
related securities was in excess of ten years. The actual maturity of a
mortgage-backed or related security is less than its stated maturity due to
regular principal payments and prepayments of the underlying mortgages.
Prepayments that are faster than anticipated may shorten the life of the
security and affect its yield to maturity. The yield to maturity is based upon
the interest income and the amortization of any premium or discount related to
the security. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
premiums and discounts are amortized over the estimated lives of the loans,
which decrease and increase interest income, respectively. The prepayment
assumptions used to determine the amortization period for premiums and discounts
can significantly affect the yield of the mortgage-backed or related security,
and these assumptions are reviewed periodically to reflect actual prepayments.
Although prepayments of underlying mortgages depend on many factors, including
the type of mortgages, the coupon rate, the age of mortgages, the geographical
location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general
levels of market interest rates, the difference between the interest rates on
the underlying mortgages and the prevailing mortgage interest rates generally is
the most significant determinant of the rate of prepayments. During periods of
falling mortgage interest rates, if the coupon rate of the underlying mortgages
exceeds the prevailing market interest rates offered for mortgage loans,
refinancing may increase and accelerate the prepayment of the underlying
mortgages and the related security. At June 30, 2002, of the $484.8 million of
mortgage-backed and related securities held by the Company, an aggregate of
$481.5 million were collateralized by fixed-rate mortgage loans and an aggregate
of $3.3 million were collateralized by adjustable-rate mortgage loans.
The Company assumes 70% of savings accounts and transaction accounts at June 30,
2002, are core deposits and are, therefore, expected to roll-off after five
years. The Company assumes 30% of Money Market accounts at June 30, 2002 are
core deposits and are, therefore, expected to roll-off after five years. The
Company does not consider any of its Platinum Money Markets accounts as core
deposits. No roll-off rate is applied to certificates of deposit. Fixed maturity
deposits reprice at maturity.
In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain limitations
inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be
considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees
to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market
rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have
features which restrict changes in interest rates, prepayment and early
withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating
the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. The Company considers all of
these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.
