NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED

(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Texas Capital Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments and the disclosures made are adequate to make interim financial information not misleading.

Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31, 2005, the Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost for options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended, to stock-based employee compensation.

                 
    Three months ended March 31  
    2005     2004  
     
Net income as reported
  $ 5,276     $ 3,937  
Add: Total stock-based employee compensation recorded, net of related tax effects
    391       175  
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects
    (616 )     (370 )
     
Pro forma net income
  $ 5,051     $ 3,742  
     
 
               
Basic income per share:
               
As reported
  $ .21     $ .16  
Pro forma
  $ .20     $ .15  
 
               
Diluted income per share:
               
As reported
  $ .20     $ .15  
Pro forma
  $ .19     $ .14  

The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes value option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for 2005 and 2004, respectively: a risk free interest rate of 3.57% and 3.56%, a dividend yield of 0%, a volatility factor of .291 and .286, and an estimated life of five years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because

Table of Contents

changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement requires an entity to recognize the cost of employee services received in share-based payment transactions and measure the cost on a grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will be effective for the financial statements issued for years beginning after June 15, 2005. We anticipate adopting the provisions of this statement January 1, 2006. The methodology has not yet been determined, but we anticipate that the results will not vary materially from the proforma fair value numbers that have been presented in the table above.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (dollars in thousands except per share data):

                 
    Three months ended March 31  
    2005     2004  
     
Numerator:

Denominator:
               
Denominator for basic earnings per share-weighted average shares

Effect of dilutive securities:
               
Employee benefit plans (1)
    1,100,355       967,009  
     
Denominator for dilutive earnings per share-adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversions
    26,622,813       26,075,755  
     
 
               
Basic earnings per share
  $ .21     $ .16  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ .20     $ .15  


(1)   Stock options outstanding of 19,000 in 2005 and 8,000 in 2004 have not been included in diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price is higher than the current market price of the Company’s common stock.

(3) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Results of Operations

Summary of Performance

The Company recorded net income of $5.3 million or $.20 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $3.9 million or $.15 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2004. Return on average equity was 10.89% and return on average assets was .82% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to 8.96% and .71%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2004.

The increase in net income and improvement in return on assets in 2005 are attributed to growth in net interest income, which came from continued earning asset growth, as well as an improvement in net interest margin. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2005 increased by $5.1 million, or 30.2%, from $16.6 million to $21.7 million over the first quarter of 2004. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in average earning assets of $386.9 million or 18.6%, with a 37 basis point increase in net interest margin.

Non-interest income increased $864,000, or 26.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2004. The Company benefited from growth in fees related to deposits and wealth management, and gain on sale of mortgage loans, which is related to our residential mortgage lending division that was started in the third quarter of 2003.

Non-interest expense increased $4.5 million or 33.9% compared to the first quarter of 2004. The increase is primarily related to a $3.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits to $11.5 million from $8.1 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from an increase in the total number of

employees related to general business growth, substantial additions to staffing for the Houston office, expansion of the residential mortgage lending division and increased incentive compensation reflective of the Company’s performance.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $21.7 million for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $16.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. The increase was due to an increase in average earning assets of $386.9 million as compared to the first quarter of 2004 and a 37 basis point increase in net interest margin. The increase in average earning assets included a $324.4 million increase in average loans held for investment, an increase of $20.8 million in loans held for sale and a $19.7 million increase in average securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, average net loans and securities represented 67% and 32%, respectively, of average earning assets compared to 63% and 37% in the same quarter of 2004.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $271.7 million from the first quarter of 2005, which included a $357.9 million increase in interest bearing deposits offset by an $86.2 million decrease in other borrowings. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased from 1.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to 2.49% for the same period of 2005, reflecting rising market interest rates.

Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets, was 3.61% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to 3.24% for the first quarter of 2004. The improvement in net interest margin resulted primarily from a 95 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets offset by a 76 basis point increase in the cost interest bearing liabilities from the prior year.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $864,000 compared to the same quarter of 2004. The increase is primarily related to a $1.3 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans to $1.8 million from $463,000. Trust fee income increased $149,000, due to continued growth of trust assets. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in cash processing fees, which were $587,000 lower in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. These fees are related to a special project that has occurred in the first quarter of 2002, 2003 and 2004.

While management expects continued growth in non-interest income, the future rate of growth could be affected by increased competition from nationwide and regional financial institutions. In order to achieve continued growth in non-interest income, we may need to introduce new products or enter into new markets.

Any new product introduction or new market entry would likely place additional demands on capital and managerial resources.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 increased $4.5 million, or 33.9%, to $17.9 million from $13.3 million, and is primarily related to a $3.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits to $11.5 million from $8.1 million. The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from an increase in the total number of employees related to general business growth, additions to staffing for the Houston office, expansion of the residential mortgage lending division and increased incentive compensation reflective of the Company’s performance. Of the increase, approximately $842,000 is related to commissions in the residential mortgage lending division and represents a variable component of compensation expense directly related to residential loan production, sales and gains on the sale of mortgage loans reflected in non-interest income.

Net occupancy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased by $349,000 or 26.2% compared to the same quarter in 2004 and is related to our continued general growth and expansion of the residential mortgage lending division.

Marketing expense increased $165,000 or 30.9%. Marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included $57,000 of direct marketing and promotions and $320,000 for business development compared to direct marketing and promotions of $28,000 and business development of $247,000 during the same period for 2004. Marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 also included $313,000 for the purchase of miles related to the American Airlines AAdvantage® program compared to $258,000 for the same period for 2004. Our direct marketing may increase as we seek to further develop our brand, reach more of our target customers and expand in our target markets.

Legal and professional expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $304,000 or 38.3% compared to the same quarter in 2004 mainly related to growth and increased cost of compliance with laws and regulations. Communications and data processing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 decreased $204,000 or 23.8% compared to the same quarter in 2004.

We continue to lend primarily in Texas. As of March 31, 2005, a substantial majority of the principal amount of the loans in our portfolio was to businesses and individuals in Texas. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. We originate substantially all of the loans in our portfolio, except in certain instances we have purchased individual leases and loan and lease pools (primarily commercial and industrial equipment and vehicles), as well as selected loan participations and USDA government guaranteed loans.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The reserve for loan losses, which is available to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, totaled $18.7 million at March 31, 2005, $18.7 million at December 31, 2004 and $18.0 million at March 31, 2004. This represents 1.12%, 1.20% and 1.37% of loans held for investment (net of unearned income) at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the reserve for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the loan portfolio in light of current economic conditions and market trends. Due to continued improvement in key measures of credit quality, the Company did not record a provision for possible loan losses during the first quarter of 2005, down from $200,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $750,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The provision for losses necessary to maintain reserve adequacy decreased due to the continued improvement in indicators of credit quality in 2005, such as net charge-offs and non-performing loans.

14


Table of Contents

The reserve for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves for impaired loans and an estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, but not yet identified with specified loans. We regularly evaluate our reserve for loan losses to maintain an adequate level to absorb estimated loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the credit worthiness of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral, and general economic conditions. All loan commitments rated substandard or worse and greater than $1,000,000 are specifically reviewed and a specific allocation is assigned based on the losses expected to be realized from those loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. Credit grades are assigned to all loans greater than $50,000. Each credit grade is assigned a risk factor, or reserve allocation percentage. These risk factors are multiplied by the outstanding principal balance and risk-weighted by product type to calculate the required reserve. A similar process is employed to calculate that portion of the required reserve assigned to unfunded loan commitments.

The reserve allocation percentages assigned to each credit grade have been developed based on an analysis of the Company’s historical loss rates and historical loss rates at selected peer banks, adjusted for certain qualitative factors. Qualitative adjustments for such things as general economic conditions, changes in credit policies and lending standards, and changes in the trend and severity of problem loans, can cause the estimation of future losses to differ from past experience. The unallocated portion of the general reserve serves to compensate for additional areas of uncertainty and considers industry trends. In addition, the reserve considers the results of reviews performed by independent third party reviewers as reflected in their confirmations of assigned credit grades within the portfolio.

The methodology used in the periodic review of reserve adequacy, which is performed at least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and anticipated future credit losses. The changes are reflected in the general reserve and in specific reserves as the collectibility of larger classified loans is evaluated with new information. As our portfolio matures, historical loss ratios are being closely monitored, and our reserve adequacy will rely primarily on our loss history. Currently, the review of reserve adequacy is performed by executive management and presented to our board of directors for their review, consideration and ratification on a quarterly basis.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and leases, accruing loans 90 or more days past due, restructured loans, and other repossessed assets. The table below summarizes our non-accrual loans by type:

Total non-accrual loans
  $ 6,047     $ 5,850     $ 6,953  
     

At March 31, 2005, we had $18,000 in loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest. At March 31, 2005, we had $127,000 in other repossessed assets.

Generally, we place loans on non-accrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized on a cash basis as long as the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. If collectibility is questionable, then cash payments are applied to principal. As of March 31, 2005, approximately $4.0 million of our non-accrual loans were earning on a cash basis.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the terms of the loan agreement. Reserves on impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral.

Securities Portfolio

Securities are identified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale based upon various factors, including asset/liability management strategies, liquidity and profitability objectives, and regulatory requirements. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Available-for-sale securities are securities that may be sold prior to maturity based upon asset/liability management decisions. Securities identified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on mortgage-backed securities is periodically adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Our unrealized gain on the securities portfolio value decreased from a gain of $4.0 million, which represented .50% of the amortized cost at December 31, 2004, to a loss of $6.9 million, which represented .91% of the amortized cost at March 31, 2005.

The following table discloses, as of March 31, 2005, our investment securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 or more months (in thousands):

We believe the investment securities in the table above are within ranges customary for the banking industry. The number of investment positions in this unrealized loss position totals 30. We do not believe these unrealized losses are “other than temporary” as (1) we have the ability and intent to hold the investments to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; (2) it is not probable that we will be unable to collect the amounts contractually due; and (3) no decision to dispose of the investments were made prior to the balance sheet date. The unrealized losses noted are interest rate related due to rising rates in 2005 and late 2004 in relation to previous rates in early 2004 and 2003. We have not identified any issues related to the ultimate repayment of principal as a result of credit concerns on these securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our cash needs. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies, which are formulated and monitored by our senior management and our Balance Sheet Management Committee (BSMC), and which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. For the year ended December 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005, our principal source of funding has been our customer deposits, supplemented by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are considered to be smaller than our bank).

Since early 2001, our liquidity needs have primarily been fulfilled through growth in our core customer deposits. Our goal is to obtain as much of our funding as possible from deposits of these core customers, which as of March 31, 2005, comprised $1,935.0 million, or 97.6%, of total deposits. These deposits are generated principally through development of long-term relationships with customers and stockholders and our retail network which is mainly through BankDirect.

In addition to deposits from our core customers, we also have access to incremental deposits through brokered retail certificates of deposit, or CDs. As of March 31, 2005, brokered retail CDs comprised $46.7 million, or 2.4%, of total deposits. Our dependence on retail brokered CDs is limited by our internal funding guidelines, which as of March 31, 2005, limited borrowing from this source to 10-20% of total deposits.

Additionally, we have borrowing sources available to supplement deposits and meet our funding needs. These borrowing sources include federal funds purchased from our downstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are smaller than our bank) and from our upstream correspondent bank relationships (which consist of banks that are larger than our bank), securities sold under repurchase agreements, treasury, tax and loan notes, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB. As of March 31, 2005, our borrowings consisted of a total of $281.7 million of securities sold under repurchase agreements, $147.7 million of downstream federal funds purchased, $1.3 million from customer repurchase agreements, and $1.0 million of treasury, tax and loan notes. Credit availability from the FHLB is based on our bank’s financial and operating condition and borrowing collateral we hold with the FHLB. At March 31, 2005, we had no borrowings from the FHLB. Our unused FHLB borrowing capacity at March 31, 2005 was approximately $245.0 million. As of March 31, 2005, we had unused upstream federal fund lines available from commercial banks of approximately $227.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, our average other

borrowings from these sources were $534.8 million or 22.4% of average total fundings, which is well within our internal funding guidelines, which limit our dependence on borrowing sources to 35% of total fundings. The maximum amount of borrowed funds outstanding at any month-end during the first three months of 2005 was $519.0 million, or 21.8%, of total fundings.

As of March 31, 2005, our significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties were as follows:

Due to the nature of our unfunded loan commitments, including unfunded lines of credit, the amounts presented in the table above do not necessarily represent amounts that we anticipate funding in the periods presented above.

Our equity capital averaged $196.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $176.8 million for the same period in 2004. This increase reflects our retention of net earnings during this period. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since we commenced operations and have no plans to do so in the near future.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently issued guidance for the disclosure of “critical accounting policies”. The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The more significant of these policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2004 filed with the SEC. Not all these significant accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. However, the policies noted below could be deemed to meet the SEC’s definition of critical accounting policies.

Management considers the policies related to the allowance for loan losses as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for loan losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain classified loans and general reserves. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the credit-worthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For purposes of determining the general reserve, the portfolio is segregated by product types in order to recognize differing risk profiles among categories, and then further segregated by credit grades. See “Summary of Loan Loss Experience” for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

Management considers the policies related to income taxes to be critical to the financial statement presentation. The Company utilizes the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the values of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation reserve is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized. In 2003, as a result of a reassessment of our ability to generate sufficient earnings to allow the utilization of our deferred tax assets, we believed it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, in compliance with SFAS No. 109, we reversed the valuation allowance and certain related tax reserves during the period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices. Additionally, the financial instruments subject to market risk can be classified either as held for trading purposes or held for other than trading.

We are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on our portfolio of assets held for purposes other than trading. The effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and/or equity prices do not pose significant market risk to us.

The responsibility for managing market risk rests with the BSMC, which operates under policy guidelines established by our board of directors. The negative acceptable variation in net interest revenue due to a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates is generally limited by these guidelines to +/- 5%. These guidelines also establish maximum levels for short-term borrowings, short-term assets, and public and brokered deposits. They also establish minimum levels for unpledged assets, among other things. Compliance with these guidelines is the ongoing responsibility of the BSMC, with exceptions reported to our board of directors on a quarterly basis.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is illustrated in the following table. The table reflects rate-sensitive positions as of March 31, 2005, and is not necessarily indicative of positions on other dates. The balances of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities are presented in the periods in which they next reprice to market rates or mature and are aggregated to show the interest rate sensitivity gap. The mismatch between repricings or maturities within a time period is commonly referred to as the “gap” for that period. A positive gap (asset sensitive), where interest rate sensitive assets exceed interest rate sensitive liabilities, generally will result in the net interest margin increasing in a rising rate environment and decreasing in a falling rate environment. A negative gap (liability sensitive) will generally have the opposite results on the net interest margin. To reflect anticipated prepayments, certain asset and liability categories are shown in the table using estimated cash flows rather than contractual cash flows.

The table above sets forth the balances as of March 31, 2005 for interest bearing assets, interest bearing liabilities, and the total of non-interest bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity. While a gap interest table is useful in analyzing interest rate sensitivity, an interest rate sensitivity simulation provides a better illustration of the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Earnings are also affected by the effects of changing interest rates on the value of funding derived from demand deposits and stockholders’ equity. We perform a sensitivity analysis to identify interest rate risk exposure on net interest income. We quantify and measure interest rate risk exposure using a model to dynamically simulate the effect of changes in net interest income relative to changes in interest rates and account balances over the next twelve months based on three interest rate scenarios. These are a “most likely” rate scenario and two “shock test” scenarios.

The “most likely” rate scenario is based on the consensus forecast of future interest rates published by independent sources. These forecasts incorporate future spot rates and relevant spreads of instruments that are actively traded in the open market. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds target affects short-term borrowing; the prime lending rate and the London Interbank Offering Rate are the basis for most of our variable-rate loan pricing. The 10-year mortgage rate is also monitored because of its effect on prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities. These are our primary interest rate exposures. We are currently not using derivatives to manage our interest rate exposure.

The two “shock test” scenarios assume a sustained parallel 200 basis point increase or decrease, respectively, in interest rates. As short-term rates continued to fall since 2001 we could not assume interest rate changes of 200 basis points as the results of the decreasing rates scenario would be negative rates. Therefore, our “shock test”

22


Table of Contents

scenarios with respect to decreases in rates now assume a decrease of 100 basis points in the current interest rate environment. We will continue to evaluate these scenarios as interest rates change, until short term rates rise above 3.0%.

Our interest rate risk exposure model incorporates assumptions regarding the level of interest rate or balance changes on indeterminable maturity deposits (demand deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts) for a given level of market rate changes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. Changes in prepayment behavior of mortgage-backed securities, residential, and commercial mortgage loans in each rate environment are captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon segments of the portfolio. The impact of planned growth and new business activities is factored into the simulation model. This modeling indicated interest rate sensitivity as follows:


TABLE 7 – INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
(Dollars in thousands)
                 
    Anticipated Impact Over the Next Twelve Months  
    as Compared to Most Likely Scenario  
    200 bp Increase     100 bp Decrease  
    March 31, 2005     March 31, 2005  
Change in net interest income
  $ 6,719     $ (2,682 )

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions regarding the effect of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of repricing characteristics, future cash flows, and customer behavior. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005 and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors known to us that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to their evaluation, nor any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. While we believe that our existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish these objectives, we intend to continue to examine, refine and formalize our disclosure controls and procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in this area.
