BANKNORTH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2002
(In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and predominant practices within the banking industry. Banknorth Group, Inc. (Banknorth) has not changed its accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its 2001 Annual Report, except for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets as discussed in Note 2 and No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assetsas discussed in Note 7. There have been no significant changes in the methods or assumptions used in the accounting policies which require material estimates and assumptions.
Effective January 1, 2002, Banknorth completed the consolidation of eight of its banking subsidiaries and its subsidiary trust company into its Maine-based banking subsidiary, Peoples Heritage Bank NA, which was renamed Banknorth, NA in connection with these transactions.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year ending December 31, 2002. Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Note 2 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Banknorth adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the date of adoption, we had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $409.3 million, and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $57.3 million, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142. Banknorth has completed the transitional impairment test on goodwill assets and has concluded that the amount of recorded goodwill was not impaired as of January 1, 2002. Banknorth does not currently have any other indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, no material reclassifications or adjustments to the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets were made as a result of adopting the new standard. The full impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $11.0 million, or approximately $.07 per diluted share in 2002, as a result of no longer having to amortize goodwill. At June 30, 2002, Banknorth had $48.8 million in unamortized identifiable intangible assets consisting of core deposit intangibles, SFAS 72 intangibles and other intangibles. Total amortization expense associated with these intangible assets in the second quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and $6.2 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Note 7 Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of, among other things. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 was adopted on January 1, 2002 with no impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Note 8 Pending Acquisitions
On April 11, 2002, Banknorth announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Bancorp Connecticut, Inc. (Bancorp) for $28.00 per share in cash. At June 30, 2002, Bancorp had total assets of $671 million and shareholders equity of $62 million. Bancorp is the parent company of Southington Savings Bank. The definitive agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Banknorth and Bancorp and all required regulatory approvals have been received. The consummation of the merger is subject to the receipt of the approval of the shareholders of Bancorp and other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2002.
On July 26, 2002, Banknorth completed its acquisition of Massachusetts-based Ipswich Bancshares, Inc. (Ipswich) for total consideration of $19.9 million in cash and $20.0 million of Banknorth common stock. Approximately 842,000 shares of Banknorth common stock will be issued in this transaction following the completion of post-closing election and allocation procedures. Ipswich had $324 million in assets and $16.7 million in shareholders equity at June 30, 2002. Under terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Ipswich was converted into the right to receive $20.50 in cash or a number of whole shares of Banknorth common stock determined by dividing $20.50 by the average closing prices of the Banknorth common stock during a specified period preceding the merger, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest, subject to election and allocation procedures which are intended to ensure that 51% of the outstanding shares of Ipswich common stock will be
10
converted into the right to receive Banknorth common stock and 49% of the outstanding Ipswich common stock will be converted into cash.
On July 2, 2002, the Company acquired Community Insurance Agencies, Inc. (Community) in exchange for approximately 213,000 shares of Company common stock. Community is headquartered in South Glens Falls, New York and has 57 employees and had $24 million of premium revenue in 2001. Community will be combined with and managed by Banknorth Insurance Group, the insurance agency division of Banknorth, NA.
On August 8, 2002, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Massachusetts-based Warren Bancorp, Inc. (Warren), parent company of Warren Five Cents Savings Bank. Warren had $460 million in assets and $44 million in shareholders equity at June 30, 2002. Under terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Warren will be converted into the right to receive $15.75 in cash or a number of whole shares of Banknorth common stock determined by dividing $15.75 by the average closing prices of Banknorth common stock during a specified period preceding the merger, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest, subject to election and allocation procedures which are intended to ensure that 50% of the outstanding shares of Warren common stock will be converted into the right to receive Banknorth common stock and 50% of the outstanding Warren common stock will be converted into cash. The agreement has been approved by Banknorth and Warren Boards of Directors. The consummation of the merger is subject to the receipt of the approval of the shareholders of Warren and all required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Note 9 State Tax Assessment
In June 2002, a notice of intent to assess tax plus interest for the years ended 1999 and 2000 was received from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR). The assessment notices relate to Massachusetts banks which have been acquired by the Company through July 2002 and had a real estate investment trust (REIT) in their corporate structure. The DOR contends that dividend distributions from a REIT to a parent company are fully taxable in Massachusetts. The Company disagrees with the position of the DOR and contends that Massachusetts law provides for a 95% dividends-received deduction. The Company intends to appeal the assessment and defend its position. Should the DOR prevail, the potential assessment for 1999, 2000 and 2001 (we have not yet been assessed for 2001) of tax is approximately $4.5 million, net of Federal benefit, exclusive of interest and penalties. Such tax assessment would be accounted for as an adjustment to the purchase price for the acquisition of these banks and would increase goodwill.

BANKNORTH GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Companys financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 reflect the acquisitions of Andover Bancorp, Inc. (Andover) and MetroWest Bank (MetroWest), both of which closed on October 31, 2001. Because these mergers were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, periods prior to October 31, 2001 have not been restated. Therefore, combined operations are presented only from October 31, 2001, and operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 include only Banknorth. The acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest increased the Companys total assets by approximately $2.7 billion, or 15%. The operational conversions of the Andover and MetroWest systems were completed in the first quarter of 2002; related personnel and expense reductions were also substantially completed in the first quarter of 2002.
SUMMARY
We reported consolidated net income of $75.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2002 as compared with $59.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 16% on a per share basis. Results in the second quarter of 2002 were diminished by the effect of special charges, which consist of merger-related charges, charter consolidation costs, certain asset write-downs and branch closing costs while the second quarter of 2001 included goodwill amortization which ceased January 1, 2002 under new accounting rules. Special charges totaled $690 thousand (after-tax), or $.01 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2002. There were no special charges in the second quarter of 2001. Goodwill amortization totaled $2.5 million (after-tax), or $.02 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2001. There was no goodwill amortization (or impairment) in the second quarter of 2002.
Annualized return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 1.44% and 17.18%, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and were 1.32% and 17.85%, respectively, for the comparable quarter one year ago.
Annualized operating cash return on average equity (Operating Cash ROE) and operating cash return on average assets (Operating Cash ROA) were 24.21% and 1.53%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and were 22.11% and 1.44%, respectively, for the comparable quarter one year ago. Operating cash ROE and operating cash ROA exclude the after-tax effect of special charges and the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets.
Results for the second quarter of 2002 improved over the second quarter of 2001 due largely to increased net interest income tempered by higher expenses; credit quality remained strong. Net interest income grew by 20% as a result of increased net interest margins and the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest. The net interest margin increased by 22 basis points due to a decline in short-term interest rates resulting from Federal Reserve Board rate cuts during 2001 and growth in higher-margin core deposits and commercial loans. Non-interest expenses increased by 14% due in large part to the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest and increased incentive compensation expense. The efficiency ratio was 52.86% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 54.57% in the comparable period last year. For a description of the methodology we use to calculate the cash efficiency ratio, see Note 5 to Table 1. Selected quarterly data, ratios and per share data are provided in Table 1.
For the first six months of 2002 consolidated net income was $142.3 million, or $0.95 per diluted share as compared with $115.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the first six months of the prior year. Results in each period were diminished by the effect of special charges which totaled $6.0 million (after-tax), or $.04 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $3.7 million (after-tax), or $.03 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2001. (See Table 5 for special charge activity for the six months ended June 30, 2002). The first six months of 2001 were burdened with goodwill amortization of $5.1 million (after-tax), or $.04 per diluted share. Under new accounting rules, there was no goodwill amortization (or impairment) in the six months of 2002. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 23% from the same period last year primarily due to a 35 basis point increase in net interest margin and the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest. The provision for loan and lease losses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 38% over the same period last year mostly due to higher net charge-offs and
12
increased loans outstanding. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 7% compared to the same period last year while noninterest expense increased 15%.
Annualized operating cash return on average equity (Operating Cash ROE) and operating cash return on average assets (Operating Cash ROA) were 23.84% and 1.53%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and were 22.12% and 1.44%, respectively, for the comparable period one year ago. Operating cash ROE and operating cash ROA exclude the after-tax effect of special charges and the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. Annualized return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 1.44% and 17.18%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and were 1.32% and 17.85%, respectively, for the comparable quarter one year ago.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans, leases and securities, and interest expense paid on liabilities such as deposits and borrowings, and continues to be our largest revenue source. Net interest income is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and by changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2002 increased $33.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2001 while the net interest margin increased from 3.96% to 4.18% for the respective periods. Approximately two-thirds of the $33.5 million increase in net interest income was due to the acquisition of Andover and MetroWest, while the balance of the increase and the improved margins were due mainly to the cost of funds falling faster than the yields on earning assets. Average net earning assets increased $2.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest. The rate decreases were reflective of the Federal Reserve rate cuts during 2001. Average loans as a percent of average earning assets was 67% and 65% for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Average loans and leases increased by $2.0 billion, or 18%, compared to the second quarter of 2001 due primarily to the acquisition of Andover and MetroWest in the fourth quarter of 2001 and internal loan growth.
Our fully-taxable equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $73.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 primarily for the same reasons as the increase during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as discussed above. The net interest margin increased from 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily due to a 173 basis point decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities compared to a 119 basis point decrease in interest rates earned on earning assets. Average net earning assets increased $488.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due in part to the acquisition of Andover and MetroWest in the fourth quarter of 2001. Table 2 shows quarterly average balances, net interest income by category and rates for each of the quarters in 2002 and 2001 and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Table 3 shows the changes in fully-taxable equivalent net interest income by category due to changes in rate and volume. See also Asset-Liability Management below.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average cost; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets). For purposes of the tables and the following discussion, (i) income from interest-earning assets and net interest income is presented on a fully-taxable equivalent basis primarily by adjusting income and yields earned on tax-exempt interest received on loans to qualifying borrowers and on certain of our securities to make them equivalent to income and yields earned on fully-taxable investments, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%, and (ii) nonaccrual loans have been included in the appropriate average balance loan category, but unpaid interest on nonaccrual loans has not been included for purposes of determining interest income. Average balances are based on average daily balances during the indicated periods.

Noninterest Income
Second quarter noninterest income totaled $63.0 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 9%, from the second quarter of 2001. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $124.6 million, a 7% increase from the comparable period of 2001. These increases were primarily due to increases in loan fee income, merchant and electronic banking income and deposit services income. These increases were partially offset lower mortgage banking services income. Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, as a percent of total income was 24% and 26% for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decline was attributable in large part to the acquisition of Andover and MetroWest, which had a combined ratio of noninterest income as a percent of total income of 8%.
Deposit services income increased by $1.5 million, or 8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year, and by $2.9 million, or 8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, deposit services income amounted to $38.9 million and $35.9 million, respectively. These increases were primarily attributable to volume-driven increases in checking account, ATM and overdraft fees which in part were due to the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest.
Mortgage banking services income was $489 thousand and $1.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Residential mortgage sales income decreased $869 thousand as compared to the second quarter of last year due to lower gains on the sale of mortgage loans as a result of the retention of 15-year and 20-year fixed-rate loans as well as all variable-rate loans in our loan portfolio in 2002. Mortgage loan originations remained strong in the second quarter of 2002, as loan refinancings continued in the favorable rate environment. Residential mortgage loan originations were $301.0 million, $376.9 million and $361.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, March 31, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Included in mortgage banking services income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 is amortization expense of $925 thousand on capitalized mortgage servicing rights resulting from the acquisition of Andover in the fourth quarter of 2001. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights increased $595 thousand from the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due to continued high prepayment levels in this low interest rate environment. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, mortgage banking services income amounted to $2.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily for the same reasons as the decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as discussed above, and a $706 thousand gain on the sale of mortgage servicing rights in the first quarter of 2001. The amount of loans serviced for others was $847.5 million, $964.0 million and $303.6 million at June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights amounted to $7.6 million at June 30, 2002, $8.5 million at December 31, 2001 and $0.5 million at June 30, 2001. The increase in mortgage servicing rights was due to the servicing rights acquired in connection with the acquisition of Andover in the fourth quarter of 2001. See Table 4 for a summary of mortgage banking services income by quarter for 2002 and 2001.

Trust and investment management services income amounted to $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of 2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, trust and investment management services income amounted to $16.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively, a decrease of 4%. Assets under management decreased to $8.0 billion at June 30, 2002 from $8.6 billion at June 30, 2001 as a result of broad-based declines in the stock markets.
Investment planning services income increased $1.2 million, or 68%, in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, investment planning services income amounted to $5.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, an increase of 64%. These increases were primarily attributable to higher sales of fixed annuities.
Insurance brokerage commissions income amounted to $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of 9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, insurance brokerage commissions income amounted to $20.2 million and $19.2 million, respectively. Approximately two-thirds of the increase was due to rate increases on existing policies while one-third of the increase was due to new business.

Bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) income represents life insurance on the lives of certain employees of Banknorth and its subsidiaries. Most of the BOLI is invested in the general account of quality insurance companies. Standard and Poors rated all such companies AA or better at June 30, 2002. We purchased $40 million of BOLI in the first quarter of 2002. The BOLI investment provides a means to finance increasing employee benefit costs. BOLI income was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2002, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of 2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, BOLI income amounted to $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively. For the second quarter of 2002, the average carrying value of BOLI was $366 million compared to $310 million for the second quarter of 2001. BOLI represented 20.83% of capital and reserves at June 30, 2002.
Merchant and electronic banking income was $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 21%. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, merchant and electronic banking income amounted to $17.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively, an increase of 20%. This income represents fees and interchange income generated by the use of debit cards issued by us and charges to merchants for credit card transactions processed, net of third-party costs directly attributable to handling these transactions. The increases were due to increases in the volume of transactions processed.
Loan fee income was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $2.1 million, or 71%. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, loan fee income amounted to $10.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively, an increase of $4.8 million, or 85%. Loan fee income includes early payoff charges, letter of credit fees, late charges and other loan related fees. The increases in fee income in 2002 were primarily due to increased volumes and refinancing activities.
Net securities gains amounted to $350 thousand and $45 thousand during the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, net securities gains amounted to $369 thousand and $803 thousand, respectively. Gains from the sale of securities are subject to market and economic conditions and, as a result, there can be no assurance that gains reported in prior periods will be achieved in the future.
Other noninterest income decreased $901 thousand, or 49%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same quarter last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, other noninterest income amounted to $3.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The declines were primarily due to losses on venture capital investments and funded executive retirement plans, which were partially offset by increases in income on covered call options.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $138.5 million and $121.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which represented an increase of $16.7 million, or 14%. The increase was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits expense ($12.9 million), occupancy expense ($1.7 million) and other noninterest expense ($1.5 million.) which were partially offset by a decrease in goodwill amortization expense of $2.8 million. The cash efficiency ratio was 51.34% and 52.16% for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For a description of the methodology we used to calculate the cash efficiency ratio, see Note 5 to Table 1. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, noninterest expense amounted to $283.2 million and $246.7 million, respectively, an increase of 15%. The increase was due to additional expenses from the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest and increased incentive compensation.
Salaries and benefits expense of $75.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $12.9 million, or 21%, from the same quarter of last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, salaries and benefits expense amounted to $151.0 million and $124.6 million, respectively, also a 21% increase. These increases were primarily due to additional employees from the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest in the fourth quarter of 2001 and increased incentive compensation. The total number of full-time equivalent employees was approximately 6,100 at June 30, 2002 compared to 5,600 at June 30, 2001. Pension expense under the defined benefit pension plan (which is included in salaries and benefits expense) was $1.7 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. An important component in the annual determination of pension expense is the fair value of assets in the pension plan at the end of the year. The fair value of plan assets as of June 30, 2002 was $128.7 million as compared to $141.0 million at December 31, 2001. The year-to-date return on plan assets was minus 5% primarily
23
due to broad-based declines in the stock markets. It is not possible to determine whether the fair value of plan assets will increase, decrease, or stay the same by the next measurement date (December 31, 2002.)
Data processing expense of $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased $926 thousand, or 10%, from the same quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, data processing expense amounted to $20.4 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Continued investments in information technology and increased transaction volume contributed to the increases.
Occupancy expense of $12.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.7 million, or 15%, from the same quarter in 2001 due to the cost of additional facilities from two acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, occupancy expense amounted to $25.3 million and $22.9 million respectively, a 11% increase.
Equipment expense of $9.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.2 million, or 13%, from the second quarter of last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, equipment expense amounted to $19.6 million and $16.9 million, respectively, an increase of 16%. These increases were primarily due to depreciation relating to new technology equipment and software.
Amortization of goodwill was $0 and $2.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. The amortization of other intangible assets (principally core deposit intangibles and FAS 72 intangibles) increased by $263 thousand due largely to the amortization of core deposit intangibles recorded in connection with the two acquisitions consummated during the fourth quarter of 2001. Amortization of goodwill amounted to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 while there was no amortization expense in 2002.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, special charges of $1.1 million ($690 thousand after-tax) included merger-related expenses for the two acquisitions effected in the fourth quarter of 2001 and costs related to consolidating the charters of our eight national bank subsidiaries and trust subsidiary to a single national bank charter effective January 1, 2002. There were no special charges recorded in the second quarter of 2001. Special charges for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $9.3 million ($6.0 million after-tax) and $5.6 million ($3.7 million after-tax) respectively. The following table summarizes the detail of special charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Taxes
The effective tax rate was 34% and 35% for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 34% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
On January 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which sets accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. We recognized an after-tax loss of $290 thousand from the cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS No. 133. This was recorded as an unrealized loss on forward sale commitments which hedged residential mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2000.
Stock Option Accounting
The Company currently accounts for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation cost is recognized related to options if the exercise price of the option is greater than
26
or equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Under an alternative method, the fair value method, the cost of the option is estimated using an option valuation model and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the option. Any change from the intrinsic value method to the fair value method of accounting for stock options is required to be applied prospectively for options granted after the date of change in method which must be as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The Company generally awards stock options annually with a grant date in October. In 2001 the Company granted 3,193,168 options with a weighted average fair value of $6.10 using the Black- Scholes option pricing model; these options vest ratably over a 3 year period. Had the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options effective as of January 1, 2001, the options granted in 2001 would have resulted in compensation expense (after tax effect) of $0.9 million in 2001, $4.2 million in 2002, $4.2 million in 2003, and $3.3 million in 2004. Assuming stock options were issued annually after October 31, 2001, the after-tax compensation expense attributable to stock options would continue to increase annually through 2004 and then level off. The accounting standard-setters are contemplating changes to the transition requirements with respect to the adoption of the fair market value method.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income amounted to $177.7 million and $149.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, which were different from our reported net income during the respective periods as a result of changes in the amount of unrealized gains and losses on our portfolio of securities available for sale and on our derivative contracts (primarily forward sales commitments) that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. For additional information, see Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
Our available for sale investment portfolio had unrealized gains (losses), net of applicable income tax effects, of $76.4 million, $40.3 million and ($510) thousand at June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. At June 30, 2002, the net unrealized gains of $117.5 million, before related tax effect, represented 2% of securities available for sale. We attempt to balance the interest rate risk of assets with liabilities (see Interest Rate Risk and Asset Liability Management). However, the change in value of our liabilities, which tend to fall in rising interest rate environments and rise in falling interest rate environments, is not included in other comprehensive income.
27
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our consolidated total assets amounted to $21.3 billion and $21.1 billion at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Total average assets were $20.9 billion and $20.7 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $18.2 billion and $18.1 billion for the comparable periods of 2001; these increases were largely due to the Andover and MetroWest acquisitions on October 31, 2001. Shareholders equity totaled $1.8 billion at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
Securities and Other Earning Assets
The securities portfolio averaged $6.3 billion during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to $5.9 billion in the second quarter of 2001. The securities portfolio consisted primarily of mortgage-backed securities, most of which were seasoned 15-year federal agency securities and U.S. Government and agency securities. Other securities in the portfolio were collateralized mortgage obligations, which included securitized residential real estate loans held in a REMIC, and asset-backed securities. The majority of securities available for sale were rated AAA or equivalently rated. The average yield on securities was 5.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 6.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. With the exception of the securitized residential real estate loans held in a REMIC that were classified as held to maturity and carried at cost, all of our securities are classified as available for sale and carried at market value. Securities available for sale had an after-tax unrealized gain of $76.4 million and $40.3 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The increase was primarily due to lower prevailing long-term rates at June 30, 2002.
Loans and Leases
Total loans and leases (including loans held for sale) averaged $12.9 billion during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $2.0 billion, or 18%, from the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of $1.9 billion of loans and leases in connection with the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest in the fourth quarter of 2001. Average loans as a percent of average earning assets was 67% during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to 65% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Average residential real estate loans (which include mortgage loans held for sale) of $2.6 billion during the second quarter of 2002 increased $363 million from the second quarter of last year. Excluding the fourth quarter of 2001 acquisitions, average residential loans decreased $458 million. Increased refinancing activity and prepayments in a lower interest rate environment caused residential loans to decline. Mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $52.1 million and $75.1 million at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $117.7 million at December 31, 2001. We are currently selling substantially all of the 30-year fixed-rate loans we originate while all new 15-year and 20-year fixed-rate loans and all adjustable-rate loans are originated for our portfolio.
Average commercial real estate loans of $4.2 billion increased $1.2 billion, or 39%, from the second quarter of last year. Excluding the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001, average commercial real estate loans increased $530 million. The majority of the increase was in the Massachusetts market. The average yield on commercial real estate loans during the second quarter of 2002 was 7.07%, as compared to 8.58% in the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of 151 basis points. The lower yield reflects the effect of the Federal Reserve Board rate cuts in 2001 on variable-rate loans as well as fixed-rate loans which have refinanced at lower rates.
Commercial business loans and leases averaged $2.6 billion during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $273 million, or 12%, over the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001, average commercial business loans and leases increased $140 million. The largest increases were in New York, Maine and Massachusetts. The yield on commercial business loans and leases decreased to 6.08% in the second quarter of 2002 from 8.03% in the second quarter of 2001 due to repricing of variable-rate loans in response to the Federal Reserve Board rate cuts and to competition for new loans.
Average consumer loans and leases of $3.5 billion during the second quarter of 2002 increased $188 million, or 6%, from the second quarter of 2001. Acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001 accounted for approximately $150
28
million (or 5%) of the increase while internal loan growth accounted for approximately $38 million (or 1%) of the increase. Although the internal increase is seemingly small, origination levels have offset significant prepayment activity as proceeds of mortgage loans refinancings have been used to pay down consumer loans. The average yield on consumer loans and leases decreased to 7.06% in the second quarter of 2002 from 8.42% in the second quarter of 2001, which also reflected the Federal Reserve Board rate cuts in 2001.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans (which do not include accruing loans 90 days or more overdue), other real estate owned, repossessed assets and certain securities available for sale. As shown in Table 8, nonperforming assets were $72.2 million at June 30, 2002, or 0.34% of total assets, compared to $81.2 million, or 0.39% of total assets, at December 31, 2001 and to $73.3 million, or 0.40% of total assets, at June 30, 2001. Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans (excluding residential real estate loans held for sale) was 0.51%, 0.59% and 0.62% at June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. We continue to focus on asset quality issues and allocate significant resources to the key asset quality control functions of credit policy and administration and loan review. We maintain an internal rating system which provides a mechanism to regularly monitor the credit quality of our loan portfolio.
Residential real estate loans accounted for 19% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2002, as compared with 21% at December 31, 2001. Residential loans are generally secured by single-family homes (one to four units) and have a maximum loan to value ratio of 80%, unless they are protected by mortgage insurance. At June 30, 2002, 0.28% of the residential loans were nonperforming, as compared with 0.32% at December 31, 2001 and 0.46% at June 30, 2001.
Commercial real estate loans accounted for 33% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2002 and 32% at December 31, 2001. Commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by income-producing commercial real estate (including office and industrial buildings), service industry real estate (including hotels and health care facilities), multi-family (over four units) residential properties and retail trade real estate (including food stores). These loans generally are secured by properties located in the New England states and upstate New York, particularly Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. At June 30, 2002, 0.47% of the commercial real estate loans were nonperforming, as compared with 0.42% at December 31, 2001 and 0.41% at June 30, 2001.
Commercial business loans and leases accounted for 21% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2002 and 19% at December 31, 2001. Commercial business loans and leases are not concentrated in any particular industry, but reflect the broad-based economies of New England and upstate New York. Commercial loans consist primarily of loans secured by various equipment, machinery and other corporate assets, as well as loans to provide working capital to businesses in the form of lines of credit. Our commercial business loans and leases are generally to small and medium size businesses located within our geographic market area. We generally do not emphasize the purchase of participations in syndicated commercial loans. At June 30, 2002, we had $147 million of participations in syndicated commercial loans and commitments to purchase an additional $244 million of such participations. At June 30, 2002, 1.25% of commercial business loans and leases were non-performing, as compared with 1.64% at December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001.
Consumer loans and leases accounted for 27% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2002 and 28% at December 31, 2001. We have a diversified consumer loan and lease portfolio consisting of home equity, automobile, mobile home, boat and recreational vehicles and education loans, as well as loans to finance certain medical /dental procedures (vision, dental and orthodontia fee plan loans). At June 30, 2002 and 2001, 0.17% of our consumer loans and leases were nonperforming, as compared with 0.27% at December 31, 2001.
At June 30, 2002, we had $2.7 million of accruing loans which were 90 days or more delinquent, as compared to $6.2 million of such loans at December 31, 2001 and $5.8 million at June 30, 2001. The decrease was due to a reduction in delinquent consumer loans, particularly guaranteed student loans and fee plan loans.

Provision/Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
We provided $10.8 million and $9.3 million for loan and lease losses in the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As shown in Table 9, net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2002 were $8.3 million, or 0.26% of average loans outstanding, compared to $7.6 million, or 0.28% of average loans outstanding, for the second quarter of 2001. The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 reflect higher levels of net charge-offs and increased loans outstanding, as compared to the second quarter of 2001. At June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $193.4 million, or 1.48% of total portfolio loans and leases, as compared to $155.3 million, or 1.43%, at June 30, 2001. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans was 289% at June 30, 2002 and 231% at June 30, 2001.
Provisions are made to the allowance for loan and lease losses in order to maintain the allowance at a level which management believes is reasonable and reflective of the overall risk of loss inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Management considers the allowance appropriate and adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio based on the current economic environment. During 2002, we have not changed our overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and there have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses in the current period.
Provisions for loan and lease losses are attributable to managements ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, which includes, among other factors, consideration of the character and size of the loan and lease portfolio, such as internal risk ratings and credit concentrations, trends in nonperforming loans, delinquency trends and charge-off experience, portfolio migration data, the volume of new loan originations and other asset quality factors. Although management utilizes its judgment in providing for probable losses, there can be no assurance that we will not have to change our provisions for loan and lease losses in future periods. Changing economic and business conditions in
30
our market areas, fluctuations in local markets for real estate, future changes in nonperforming asset trends, large movements in market-based interest rates or other reasons could affect our future provisions for loan and lease losses.

Deposits
Total deposits averaged $14.2 billion during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $2.0 billion from the second quarter of 2001. Excluding deposits of Andover and MetroWest acquired in the fourth quarter of 2001, deposits were essentially unchanged from the second quarter of last year. However, the deposit mix changed favorably. Certificates of deposit and brokered deposits (which tend to pay higher rates) as a percent of total deposits declined from 37% in the second quarter of 2001 to 32% in the second quarter of 2002. The ratio of loans to deposits was 91% and 89% at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
Average non-interest bearing deposits of $2.5 billion during the second quarter of 2002 increased $419.6 million, or 20%, from the second quarter of 2001, including approximately $294.0 million from Andover and MetroWest. The increase in non-interest bearing deposits reflected strong growth in commercial, government and personal accounts.
Average interest-bearing deposits of $11.7 billion during the second quarter of 2002 increased $1.5 billion from the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to the acquisition of Andover and MetroWest in the fourth quarter of 2001. Andover and MetroWest had combined interest-bearing deposits of approximately $1.7 billion. The net decrease in interest-bearing deposits, exclusive of acquisitions, was primarily due to the planned run-off of brokered deposits and, to a lesser extent, certificates of deposit run-off related to relatively low market rates. The average rates paid on NOW and money market accounts decreased 130 basis points from 2.82% in the second quarter of 2001 to 1.52% in the second quarter of 2002 due largely to lower prevailing interest rates. The average rates paid on all deposit types decreased by 170 basis points from 3.81% in the second quarter of 2001 to 2.11% in the second quarter of 2002, reflecting the decline in prevailing interest rates during 2001.
Included within the deposit categories above are government banking deposits, which averaged $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2002 and $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2001. Government banking deposits include deposits received from state and local governments, school districts, public colleges/universities, utility districts, public housing authorities and court systems in our market area. Many of these deposits exceed the FDIC insurance coverage amounts and require us to pledge specific collateral or maintain private insurance.
Other Funding Sources
Other than deposits, our primary sources of funds are borrowings. Our principal borrowing sources are advances from Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Other borrowing sources which we have used include the U.S. Treasurys Note Option Treasury, Tax and Loan program, overnight borrowings from other banks, trust preferred securities, and public/private debt offerings. Average total borrowings in the second quarter of 2002 were $4.8 billion, an increase of $356 million from the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily the result of borrowings assumed in the acquisitions of Andover and MetroWest. Average total borrowings in the first six months of 2002 were $4.6 billion, an increase of $148 million from the comparable period of 2001.
Significant transactions related to borrowings from the second quarter of 2001 through June 30, 2002 include the issuance of $200 million of subordinated debt by a subsidiary bank in June 2001, the assumption of approximately $480 million of borrowings in the Andover and MetroWest acquisitions, the prepayment of approximately $175 million of FHLB advances in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the issuance of $200 million of trust preferred securities in February 2002.
Average FHLB borrowings for the second quarter of 2002 were $2.5 billion, which decreased $489 million or 16% from the second quarter of 2001. Collateral for FHLB borrowings consists primarily of first mortgage loans secured by 1 - 4 family properties, certain unencumbered securities and other qualified assets. These borrowings had an average cost of 4.50% during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 5.15% for the comparable period last year. The 65 basis point decrease was due to the Federal Reserve Board rate cuts during 2001 and prepayment of $174.6 million of FHLB borrowings with a weighted average cost of 5.62%. At June 30, 2002, FHLB borrowings amounted to $2.5 billion and our additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $1.8 billion.
32
Average balances for securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.6 billion and $1.1 billion for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, an increase of $473.3 million. Our borrowings under wholesale repurchase agreements increased while our FHLB borrowings decreased because of better pricing on the wholesale repurchase agreements. Borrowings under repurchase agreements had a weighted average rate of 2.35% and 4.14% for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and are secured by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government obligations.
In June 2001, Banknorth, NA issued $200 million of 7.625% subordinated notes due in 2011. Interest is payable semi-annually in June and December. The notes qualify as Tier 2 capital.
In January 2002, we renewed an existing line of credit in the amount of $80 million at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.625%. The average outstanding balance on this line for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $4.3 million.
In February 2002, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC which allows us to sell up to $1.0 billion of debt securities, preferred stock, depository shares, common stock, and warrants and which allows subsidiary trusts to sell capital securities. In February 2002, Banknorth Capital Trust II issued $200 million of 8% trust preferred securities (Securities) to the public under the shelf registration. These Securities pay interest quarterly and are mandatorily redeemable on April 1, 2032 and may be redeemed by the Trust at par any time on or after April 1, 2007. The Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The primary goal of our risk management program is to determine how certain existing or emerging issues facing us or the financial services industry affect the nature and extent of the risks faced by us. Based on a periodic self-evaluation, we determine key issues and develop plans and/or objectives to address risk. The Board of Directors (the Board) and management believe that there are seven applicable risk categories, consisting of credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Each risk category is viewed from a quantity of risk perspective (high, medium or low) coupled with a quality of risk perspective. In
33
addition, an aggregate level of risk is assigned as a whole as well as the direction of risk (stable, increasing or decreasing). Each risk category and the overall risk level is compared to regulatory views on a regular basis and then reported to the Board with an accompanying explanation of any differences. The risk program includes risk identification, measurement, control and monitoring.
The Board has established the overall strategic direction. It approves the overall risk policies and oversees the overall risk management process. The Board has delegated authority to two Board Committees, consisting of Audit and Board Risk Management, and has charged each Committee with overseeing key risks. In addition, there is a management Operational Risk Committee, which is comprised of senior officers in key business lines, which identifies and monitors key operational risks. The Operational Risk Committee reports to the Board Risk Management Committee on a regular basis.
ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The goal of asset-liability management is the prudent control of market risk, liquidity and capital. Asset-liability management is governed by policies reviewed and approved annually by the Board and monitored periodically by a committee of the Board. The Board delegates responsibility for asset-liability management to the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO), which is comprised of members of senior management who set strategic directives that guide the day-to-day asset-liability management of our activities. The ALCO also reviews and approves all major risk, liquidity and capital management programs, except for product pricing. Product pricing is reviewed and approved by the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of a subset of ALCO members and regional presidents.
Market Risk
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. We have no trading operations and thus are only exposed to non-trading market risk.
Interest-rate risk, including mortgage prepayment risk, is by far the most significant non-credit risk to which we are exposed. Interest-rate risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates, as well as fluctuations in the level and duration of assets and liabilities, affect net interest income, our primary source of revenue. This risk arises directly from our core banking activities lending, deposit gathering and loan servicing. In addition to directly impacting net interest income, changes in the level of interest rates can also affect (i) the amount of loans originated and sold by the institution, (ii) the ability of borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans, (iii) the average maturity of loans, (iv) the rate of amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights and premiums paid on securities, (v) the amount of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and (vi) the fair value of our saleable assets and derivatives and the resultant ability to realize gains.
The primary objective of interest-rate risk management is to control our exposure to interest-rate risk both within limits approved by the Board and guidelines established by the ALCO. These limits and guidelines reflect our tolerance for interest-rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We attempt to control interest-rate risk by identifying, quantifying and, where appropriate, hedging our exposure.
We quantify and measure interest-rate exposure using a model to dynamically simulate net interest income under various interest rate scenarios over a 12-month period. Simulated scenarios include deliberately extreme interest rate shocks and more gradual interest rate ramps. Key assumptions in these simulation analyses relate to behavior of interest rates and spreads, increases or decreases of product balances and the behavior of our deposit and loan customers. The most material assumptions relate to the prepayment of mortgage assets (including mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage servicing rights). The risk of prepayment tends to increase when interest rates fall. Since future prepayment behavior of loan customers is uncertain, the resultant interest rate sensitivity of loan assets cannot be determined exactly. Complicating our efforts to measure interest rate risk is the uncertainty of the maturity, repricing and/or runoff of some of our assets and liabilities.
34
To cope with these uncertainties, we give careful attention to our assumptions. For example, many of our interest-bearing deposit products (e.g. interest checking, savings and money market deposits) have no contractual maturity and based on historical experience have only a limited sensitivity to movements in market rates. Because we believe we have some control with respect to the extent and timing of rates paid on non-maturity deposits, certain assumptions regarding rate changes are built into the model. In the case of prepayment of mortgage assets, assumptions are derived from published dealer median prepayment estimates for comparable mortgage loans or from a vendor supported loan prepayment model that is periodically tested using observed loan prepayment behavior.
We manage the interest-rate risk inherent in our core banking operations primarily using on-balance sheet instruments, which sometimes contain embedded options, mainly fixed-rate portfolio securities and borrowed funds. When appropriate, we utilize interest rate instruments such as interest-rate swaps, interest rate floors and interest rate corridor agreements, among other instruments. As of June 30, 2002, there were no such agreements in effect. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the ALCO, Corporate Credit Committee and Board Risk Management Committee approved a pilot program to offer interest rate derivative hedging products to commercial customers, provided these products are in turn hedged. The program is geared to putting variable rate commercial loans on the balance sheet while allowing the customer to synthetically fix the rate by purchasing a variable to fixed interest rate swap. The Bank would enter into an exact offsetting fixed to variable interest rate swap with a broker. The programs success depends on the receptiveness of commercial customers, but it is anticipated that interest rate derivatives will reduce interest rate risk. As of June 30, 2002, there were no such agreements in effect.
We manage the interest-rate risk inherent in our mortgage banking operations by entering into forward sales contracts and, to a lesser extent, by using purchased mortgage-backed security options. An increase in market interest rates between the time we commit to terms on a loan and the time we ultimately sell the loan in the secondary market will have the effect of reducing the gain (or increasing the loss) we record on the sale. We attempt to mitigate this risk by entering into forward sales commitments in amounts sufficient to cover all closed loans and approximately 80% of loan commitments on rate-locked loans. Purchased mortgage-backed security options are used to hedge a percentage of rate-locked loans.
The average balances during the second quarter of 2002 of residential mortgage loans held for sale and related average hedge positions are summarized below (in millions):

$ | 53,033 | ||

Our policy on interest-rate risk simulation specifies that if interest rates were to shift gradually up or down 2%, estimated net interest income for the subsequent 12 months should decline by less than 5%. Our gradual 2% rising rate scenario was within compliance guidelines at June 30, 2002. However, the gradual 2% falling rate scenario was slightly outside guidelines. Given the slight exception to the guidelines, historically low rates and the steep yield curve, which is thought to imply that further significant rate reductions are unlikely, we have not taken immediate corrective action to bring the falling rate exposure within guidelines. Rather, we continue to focus on strategies that prove beneficial to income should rates rise or the yield curve flattens without worsening exposure to falling rates.
The following table sets forth the estimated effects on our net interest income over a 12-month period following the indicated dates in the event of the indicated increases or decreases in market interest rates.
35
200 Basis Point | 100 Basis Point | 100 Basis Point | 200 Basis Point | |||||||||||||

The results implied in the above table indicate estimated changes in simulated net interest income for the subsequent 12 months assuming a gradual shift up or down in market rates of 100 and 200 basis points across the entire yield curve. Assuming a downward shift in rates, savings, money market and NOW accounts have implied interest rate floors and it is assumed that the related interest expense on these accounts will not decrease in proportion to the downward shift in rates. Assuming an upward shift in rates of 200 basis points, the simulated increase in interest income would be more than the simulated increase in interest expense because total adjustable earning assets will reprice more quickly than will total adjustable cost liabilities. It should be emphasized, however, that the results are dependent on material assumptions such as those discussed above. For instance, asymmetrical rate behavior can have a material impact on the simulation results.
The most significant factors affecting market risk exposure of net interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2002 were (i) the shape of the U.S. Government securities and interest rate swap yield curve, (ii) changes in the composition and prepayment speeds of mortgage assets, (iii) reduction of deposit interest expense, and (iv) changes in the wholesale borrowings portfolio structure. Since March 2002, the yield curve fell most significantly in the 2-year term (approximately 90 basis points) and in the 10-year term (approximately 60 basis points). As a result, projected mortgage and loan prepayments were faster in the second quarter of 2002 than in the first quarter of 2002. Overall total loans and securities available for sale effective duration estimates became slightly shorter due to increased prepayment estimates. To help protect against rising rates, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, $200 million of wholesale borrowings were replaced with variable-rate borrowings with interest rates tied to three-month LIBOR with caps ranging from 3% to 6%. The above table reflects the impact of these changes. There was little net change in the estimated sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates during the second quarter of 2002 as a result of these factors. We remain asset sensitive and project net interest income to increase if short and long interest rates move symmetrically higher.
In connection with the Andover and MetroWest acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001, we recorded $8.8 million of mortgage servicing rights at market value at the date of acquisition. Mortgage servicing rights as of June 30, 2002 totaled $7.6 million compared to $8.5 million as December 31, 2001. New mortgage servicing rights from originations are sold on a flow basis shortly after the mortgages are sold. As a result, future earnings exposure to changes in the value of mortgage servicing rights is not expected to be material.
Our earnings are not directly and materially impacted by movements in foreign currency rate or commodity prices. Virtually all transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar. Movements in equity prices may have an indirect but modest impact on earnings by affecting the volume of activity or the amount of fees from investment-related businesses.
LIQUIDITY
Parent Company
On a parent-only basis at June 30, 2002, our debt service requirements consisted primarily of junior subordinated debentures issued to three subsidiaries: $103 million to Peoples Heritage Capital Trust I, $31 million to Banknorth Capital Trust I and $200 million to Banknorth Capital Trust II, in connection with the issuance of 9.06% Capital Securities due 2027, 10.52% Capital Securities due 2027 and 8% Capital Securities due 2032, respectively. The principal sources of funds for us to meet parent-only obligations are dividends from our banking subsidiary, which are subject to regulatory limitations, income from its small investment securities portfolio and borrowings, including draws on a $80 million unsecured line of credit which is renewable every 364 days and, if used, carries interest at LIBOR plus 0.625%. Our subsidiary bank had $213.5 million available for dividends that could be paid without prior
36
regulatory approval. The average balance outstanding on the line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $4.3 million. In addition, the parent company had $181.6 million in cash or cash equivalents at June 30, 2002.
Banking Subsidiary
For our banking subsidiary, Banknorth, NA, liquidity represents the ability to fund asset growth and accommodate deposit withdrawals and meet other funding requirements. Liquidity risk is the danger that Banknorth, NA cannot meet anticipated or unexpected funding requirements or can meet them only at excessive cost. Liquidity is measured by the ability to raise cash when needed at a reasonable cost. Many factors affect a banks ability to meet liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served, its asset-liability mix, its reputation and credit standing in the market and general economic conditions.
In addition to traditional retail deposits, Banknorth NA has various other liquidity sources, including proceeds from maturing securities and loans, the sale of securities, asset securitizations and borrowed funds such as FHLB advances, reverse repurchase agreements and brokered deposits.
We continually monitor and forecast our liquidity position. There are several interdependent methods which we use for this purpose, including daily review of fed funds positions, monthly review of balance sheet changes, monthly review of liquidity ratios, periodic liquidity forecasts and periodic review of contingent funding plans.
As of June 30, 2002, Banknorth, NA had in the aggregate $2.7 billion of immediately accessible liquidity, defined as cash that could be raised within 1-3 days through collateralized borrowings or security sales. This represents 19% of deposits, as compared to a current policy minimum of 10% of deposits.
Also as of June 30, 2002, Banknorth, NA had in the aggregate potentially volatile funds of $1.4 billion. These are funds that might flow out of the bank over a 90-day period in an adverse environment. Management estimates this figure by applying adverse probabilities to its various credit-sensitive and economically-sensitive funding sources.
As of June 30, 2002, the ratio of immediately accessible liquidity to potentially volatile funds was 190%, versus a policy minimum of 100%.
In addition to the liquidity sources discussed above, we believe that our residential and consumer loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales or securitizations. We believe we also have significant untapped access to the national brokered deposit market. These sources are contemplated as secondary liquidity in our contingent funding plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements.
CAPITAL
At June 30, 2002, shareholders equity amounted to $1.8 billion, or 8.54% of total assets. In addition, through subsidiary trusts, we had outstanding at such date $293.8 million of capital securities, of which $93.8 million mature in 2027 and $200 million mature in 2032, which qualify as Tier 1 Capital. We also have $200 million of 7.625% subordinated notes due in 2011 which qualify as Tier 2 capital.
We paid a $0.145 per share dividend on our common stock during the second quarter of 2002. In February 2002, the Board authorized 8 million shares to be repurchased in the open market in addition to the 13 million share repurchase program authorized in 2001. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we repurchased 5.8 million shares at an average price of $24.25. As of June 30, 2002, a total of 7.8 million shares were available for repurchase under these authorizations.
Capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board require us to maintain certain ratios, set forth in Table 9. As indicated in such table, our regulatory capital currently substantially exceeds all applicable requirements.

Banknorth NA is also subject to federal regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2002, Banknorth NA was deemed to be well capitalized under the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of Currency of the United States and in compliance with applicable capital requirements.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies 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). SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This Statement is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this standard is not expected to materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statement Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 rescinds Statement No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Upon adoption of Statement No. 145, companies will be required to apply the criteria in 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 in determining the classification of gains and losses resulting from the extinguishment of debt. Additionally, SFAS No. 145 amends SFAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS No. 145 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early adoption of the provisions related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 encouraged. Upon adoption, enterprises must reclassify prior period items that do not meet the extraordinary item classification criteria in Opinion No. 30. We have not yet adopted this standard. In the fourth quarter of 2001, under the provisions of SFAS No. 4, we recorded an extraordinary item from the early extinguishment of debt of $3.9 million after-tax, or $.03 per diluted share. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 145, this will no longer qualify for extraordinary treatment and must be reclassified.
In August, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 provides additional implementation guidance and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of. It is effective for financial
38
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Adoption of this standard did not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows.
