UNIZAN FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002 (Unaudited)
(In thousands, except per share data)
The consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of Unizan Financial Corp. (Company), the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Reference should be made to UNB Corp.s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and BancFirst Ohio Corp.s audited financial statements included as an exhibit to Companys March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q for additional disclosures, including a summary of the Companys accounting policies. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
1) | BASIS OF PRESENTATION: | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise indicated, dollars are in thousands except per share data. | ||
2) | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method. This statement applies to business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The merger between BancFirst Ohio Corp. and UNB Corp. was accounted for as a purchase. SFAS No. 142, which was adopted January 1, 2002, addresses the accounting for such assets arising from prior and future business combinations. Since the adoption of this Statement, goodwill arising from business combinations will no longer be amortized, but rather will be assessed regularly for impairment, with any such impairment recognized as a reduction to earnings in the period identified. Other identified intangible assets, such as core deposit intangible assets, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. As of June 30, 2002, goodwill of $1,084 generated from branch purchase transactions will continue to be amortized and the remaining goodwill of $92,885 will not be amortized, but rather will be tested for impairment. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company recognized $1,392 in expense for the impairment of goodwill from prior acquisitions by both BancFirst Ohio Corp. and UNB Corp. Net income adjusted to remove the effect of the goodwill amortization expense recognized would have been $4,243, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2001 and $8,371, or $.72 diluted earnings per share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. | ||
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which amends SFAS No. 121 by addressing business segments accounted for as a discontinued operation under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The effect of this Statement on the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation is not expected to be material. | ||
The FASB recently issued Statements 145 and 146. Statement 145 covers debt extinguishments and leases, and made some minor technical corrections. Gains and losses on extinguishments of debt, always treated as an extraordinary item under a previous standard, will now no longer be considered extraordinary, except under very limited conditions. If a capital lease is modified to an operating, then it will now be treated as a sale leaseback instead of a new lease. Statement 146 covers accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, such as lease termination costs or employee severance costs. The Statement replaces EITF 94-3, and is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. It requires these costs to be recognized when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Management does not expect the effects of adoption of these statements to be material. |

3) | MERGER | |
On March 7, 2002, the Company completed a merger between BancFirst Ohio Corp, and UNB Corp. In connection with the merger, UNB Corp. issued 1.325 shares of common stock in exchange for each share of BancFirst common stock. The purchase price was valued at $175 million and the value of the 11.6 million shares issued was based on the average price of UNB Corp. stock for three days before and two days after the terms of the merger were agreed to and announced. Cash was paid for any fractional shares. | ||
The merger is being accounted for as a purchase of UNB Corp. Accordingly, UNB Corp.s results of operations have been included from the date of the merger. The merger creates a financial services holding company with total assets of $2.6 billion, and deposits of $1.9 billion. As a result of the merger, management believes that the combination of the companies is a complementary strategic fit of the existing businesses and enables Unizan to compete more effectively with other financial institutions in the Companys existing markets. In addition, the Company entered into the merger for the following reasons: |
| expands market area and creates critical mass | ||
| enhances ability to compete and broadens product range | ||
| expected to be accretive to per share earnings | ||
| increases liquidity for the sale of common stock | ||
| provides an additional platform for further growth and improves cross selling opportunities. |
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. Unizan is in the process of obtaining valuations of certain intangible assets; thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement. |

$ | 174,581 | |||
The core deposit intangible is subject to amortization on an accelerated basis over an estimated life of ten years. The goodwill will not be amortized, but will be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. Because the merger was structured as a tax free exchange, none of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. | ||
The following table summarizes the pro-forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 as if UNB Corp. had been acquired as of the beginning of such period: |

The pro-forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 include merger related expenses recognized by UNB Corp. prior to the merger. | ||
4) | COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE | |
The computation of earnings per share is as follows. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the exchange of one BancFirst share for 1.325 shares of UNB Corp. stock. |

10
utilized by the Trust to invest in $20,619 of 9.875% Junior Subordinated Debentures (the Debentures) of the Company. The Debentures are unsecured obligations and rank subordinate and junior to the right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Capital Securities is cumulative and payable semi-annually in arrears. The Company has the right to optionally redeem the Debentures prior to the maturity date of October 15, 2029, on or after October 15, 2009 at 104.938% (declining annually thereafter to 100% after October 15, 2019) of the stated liquidation amount, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, to the redemption date. Under the occurrence of certain events, specifically a Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment Event as more fully defined in the BFOH Capital Trust I Prospectus dated October 13, 1999, the Company may redeem in whole, but not in part, the Debentures prior to October 15, 2009. Proceeds from any redemption of the Debentures would cause a mandatory redemption of the Capital Securities and the common securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the principal amount of the Debentures redeemed. The Companys liability is fully recorded on the balance sheet at June 30, 2002. | ||
The Trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has no independent operations and has issued securities that contain a full and unconditional guarantee of its parent, the Company. The Trust is exempt from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. | ||

ITEM 2:
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
UNIZAN FINANCIAL CORP.
For a comprehensive understanding of the Companys financial condition and performance, this discussion should be considered in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes, and other information contained elsewhere herein.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involves risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which the Company and its Banking Subsidiary operate); competition for the Companys customers from other providers of financial services; government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to time and over which the Company has no control); changes in interest rates; prepayments of loans and securities; material unforeseen changes in the liquidity, results of operations, or other financial position of the Companys customers, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company.
Overview
Unizan Financial Corp. was formed as a result of the merger between BancFirst Ohio Corp. and UNB Corp. that was completed on March 7, 2002. This merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the financial results include Unizans results since March 7, 2002, and BancFirst Ohio Corp.s results prior to the merger. The historical numbers reported for comparison purposes reflect BancFirst Ohio Corp.s results.
The reported results of the Company primarily reflect the operations of the Companys bank subsidiary. The Companys results of operations are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the industry, governmental policies and regulations and conditions in the markets for financial assets. Like most financial institutions, the primary contributor to the Companys income is net interest income, which is defined as the difference between the interest the Company earns on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest the Company pays on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Companys operations are also affected by non-interest income, such as checking account and trust fees and gains from sales of loans. The Companys principal operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy costs, and other general and administrative expenses.
Average Balances and Yields
The following table presents, for each of the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and percentage rates, and the net interest margin. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) by total interest-earning assets. The net interest margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE income includes tax-exempt income, restated to a pre-tax equivalent, based on the statutory federal income tax rate. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accruing loans are included in average loan balances.

Comparison of Operating Results For The Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
Net Income. Net income for the second quarter was $9,007, or $.40 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $3,962, or $.34 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2001. The second quarter of 2002 results were impacted by the merger between BancFirst Ohio Corp. and UNB Corp. Since the transaction was accounted for as a purchase of UNB Corp. by BancFirst, the operating results include the operations of BancFirst for the entire year and only the operating results of UNB from March 8, 2002 through June 30, 2002. During the second quarter, net interest income increased by 98.8% and non-interest income increased by 118.0%, as compared to the same period in 2001. The net interest margin increased to 3.95% for the second quarter of 2002, compared to 3.18% for the same period in 2001. Also, the net interest margin continued to increase from 3.60% in the first quarter of 2002, to 3.95% in the second quarter of 2002. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily from lower cost of funds due to the decline in market interest rates. The Companys return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.39% and 12.38%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2002, compared to 1.01% and 14.35%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2001.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased 33.3% to $39,555 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $29,674 for the second quarter of 2001. The increase was primarily related to the increase in average interest-earning assets added from the merger with UNB Corp. During the second quarter of 2002, the yield on interest-earning assets declined by 133 basis points from the same period in 2001. The Companys yield on average loans was 7.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 8.63% for the comparable year ago period. Yields on the securities portfolio decreased from 7.22% during the second quarter of 2001 to 6.04% during the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in the yields on loans and securities resulted primarily from lower market rates throughout 2002.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased 7.8% to $16,803 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $18,229 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Interest expense decreased due to a 212 basis point decrease in the Companys cost of funds. The Companys cost of funds decreased to 3.23% in the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 5.35% in the same period of 2001. The decrease in cost of funds was primarily from decreased market rates combined with the maturing of higher costing certificates of deposit that are being renewed at lower current rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $622 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $495 in the second quarter of 2001. The increased provision in 2002 resulted primarily from the Companys review of general economic conditions and uncertainties and an updated analysis of the Companys loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was considered sufficient by management for maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $3,973 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period a year ago. The following table sets forth the Companys non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Trust and custodian fees increased by $1,408 to $1,954 in the second quarter of 2002 from $546 in the second quarter of 2001, and financial planning fees increased to $448 in the second quarter of 2002 from $258 from the same period a year ago. The increase in trust and financial planning fees was primarily related to the fee income added from the merger with UNB Corp.
Customer service fees, representing service charges on deposits and fees for other banking services, increased by $918 to $1,564 in the second quarter of 2002 from $646 in the second quarter of 2001. The increase was attributed to
15
the merger with UNB Corp.
Gains on sales of loans totaled $1,058 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $888 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company sold $7.6 million of the guaranteed portion of its SBA and other government guaranteed loan originations in the secondary market compared to $8.9 million during the second quarter of 2001, realizing gains of $685 in 2002 and $637 in 2001. Also, the Company recorded gains of $373 from the sales of residential loans during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $251 in 2001. Residential loan sale activity increased in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the year ago period as a result of lower market rates.
The Company intends to continue to place emphasis on its small business lending activities, including the evaluation of expansion into new markets. The nature of the political climate in Washington, D.C. may periodically subject many existing government programs to much scrutiny and possible cutbacks. It is not currently known whether the government guaranteed loan programs will be impacted. Management believes that any such cutbacks could negatively affect the Companys activities in the government guaranteed lending programs as well as the planned expansion of such activities.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company sold approximately $5.3 million of securities, realizing gains of $92. The Company had no sales of securities during the second quarter of 2002.
Other income increased by $1,409 to $2,335 for the second quarter of 2002 from $926 in the second quarter of 2001. Within other operating income, income from bank owned life insurance increased by $566, merchant fee income increased by $312 and interchange income increased by $130. Of the increase in bank owned life insurance, $291 was related to a death benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2002 and the remaining increases were attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $8,021 to $16,419 in the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $8,398 in the three months ended June 30, 2001. The following table sets forth the Companys non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

Salaries and employee benefits increased to $8,245 and represented approximately 53.4% of total operating expenses (non-interest expense less amortization of intangibles) for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 56.9% in the second quarter of 2001. The increase is attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Net occupancy expense increased to $913 in the second quarter of 2002 from $479 in the second quarter of 2002 primarily due to additional expenses attributed to facilities acquired from the merger with UNB Corp.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment expense increased to $535 in the second quarter of 2002 from $294 in the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to depreciation expense attributed to fixed assets added by the merger with UNB Corp.
Taxes other than income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $280 compared with $254 in the second quarter 2001.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets increased by $483 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to
16
the year ago period. The increase was mainly attributed to the core deposit amortization related to the merger with UNB Corp. which was partially offset by the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002.
Other non-interest expenses increased $3,084, to $5,462 during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $2,378 in the second quarter of 2001. Of this increase, $117 was related to losses on sales of other real estate owned that were acquired through loan foreclosures. Also, the increase includes $566 of marketing and legal expenses related to the merger with UNB Corp. The remaining increase is attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Companys provision for Federal income taxes was $4,044, or 31.0% of pretax income, for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1,957, or 33.1% of pretax income, for the same period in 2001. The effective tax rate for each period differed from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of tax-exempt income from obligations of states and political subdivisions, non-taxable loans and earnings on bank-owned life insurance.
Comparison of Operating Results For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $7,755, or $.41 per diluted share compared with net income of $7,810, or $.67 per diluted share for the same period in 2001. Year-to-date 2002 results were significantly impacted by $4,200 of one time merger related expenses and a provision for loan loss expense of $6,209. The 2002 results were also impacted by the merger between BancFirst Ohio Corp. and UNB Corp. Since the transaction was accounted for as a purchase of UNB Corp. by BancFirst, the operating results include the operations of BancFirst for the entire year and only the operating results of UNB from March 8, 2002 through June 30, 2002. During the first six months of 2002, net interest income increased by 64.8% and non-interest income increased by 70.0%, as compared to the same period in 2001. For the six month period ended June 30, 2002, non-interest expense, excluding one time merger related expenses and the impairment of goodwill, totaled $26,495, an increase of 59.1% from the same period a year ago. The net interest margin increased to 3.81% for the first six months of 2002, compared to 3.15% for the same period in 2001. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily from lower cost of funds due to the decline in market interest rates. The Companys return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.71% and 6.79%, respectively, in 2002, compared to 1.01% and 14.30%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased 14.3% to $68,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $59,959 for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily related to the increase in average interest-earning assets added from the merger with UNB Corp. During 2002, the yield on interest-earning assets declined by 131 basis points from the same period in 2001. The Companys yield on average loans was 7.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 8.72% for the comparable year ago period. Yields on the securities portfolio decreased from 7.44% during the first six months of 2001 to 6.05% during the same period in 2002. The decrease in the yields on loans and securities resulted primarily from lower market rates throughout 2002.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased 16.1% to $31,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $37,468 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Interest expense decreased due to a 198 basis point decrease in the Companys cost of funds. The Companys cost of funds decreased to 3.55% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 5.53% in the same period of 2001. The decrease in cost of funds was primarily from decreased market rates combined with the maturity of higher costing certificates of deposit that are being renewed at lower current rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $6,209 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $960 in the same period in 2001. The increased provision in 2002 resulted primarily from the Companys review of general economic conditions and uncertainties and a continual analysis of the Companys loan portfolio. This led to an increase in specific allocations recognized based on deterioration in credit quality of specific credits and an increase in the non-specific allocation based on managements analysis of current economic conditions. Also, it was managements intention to reduce non-performing loans of the combined company which resulted in a reevaluation of expected losses as it works to cure non-performing assets quicker than previously anticipated. The provision for loan losses was considered sufficient by management for maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income was $11,480 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $6,752 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Trust and custodian fees increased by $1,792 to $2,930 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $1,138 in the same period in 2001, and financial planning fees increased to $720 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $557 from the same period a year ago. The increase in trust and financial planning fees was primarily related to the fee income added from the merger with UNB Corp.

Customer service fees, representing service charges on deposits and fees for other banking services, increased by $1,156 to $2,436 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $1,280 for the same period in 2001. The increase was attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Gains on sales of loans totaled $1,842 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $1,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. During 2002, the Company sold $13.1 million of the guaranteed portion of its SBA and other government guaranteed loan originations in the secondary market compared to $15.1 million during the first six months of 2001, realizing gains of $1,183 in 2002 and $1,237 in 2001. Also, the Company recorded gains of $659 from the sales of residential loans during the first six months of 2002 compared to $360 in 2001. Residential loan sale activity increased during 2002 compared to the year ago period as a result of lower market rates. Also, the increase was attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Securities gains of $195 were realized during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the Company has had no sales of securities during 2002.
Other income increased by $1,410 to $3,416 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $2,006 during the same period in 2001. Within other operating income, income from bank owned life insurance increased by $662, merchant fee income increased by $408 and interchange income increased by $158. Of the increase in bank owned life insurance, $291 was related to a death benefit recognized in 2002 and the remaining increases were attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $14,311 to $30,960 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $16,649 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding one time merger related expenses and impairment of goodwill of $4,466, non-interest expense increased by $9,845 to $26,494 for the first six months of 2002.
Salaries and employee benefits increased to $15,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $8,908 for the same period of 2001. The increase includes $980 of severance and benefit plan expenses and the remaining increase is attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Net occupancy expense increased to $1,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $989 in the same period of 2001 primarily due to additional expenses attributed to UNB Corp.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment expense increased to $869 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $585 in the same period of 2001 primarily due to depreciation expense attributed to fixed assets added by the merger with UNB Corp.
Taxes other than income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1,523 compared with $498 in the same period of 2001. The increase was due to the recognition of the full year of Ohio Franchise tax expense for First National Bank of Zanesville to correspond with the ending of the Bank charter.
Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets increased by $91 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the year ago period. The increase was attributed to the core deposit amortization related to the merger with UNB Corp. which was partially offset by the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Also, as part of SFAS No. 142, an expense of $1,392 was recognized for the impairment of goodwill related to the write down of $1,392 associated with prior acquisitions.
Other non-interest expenses increased $4,773, to $9,439 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $4,666 in the same period in 2001. Of this increase, $1,072 was related to losses on sales and write down of other real estate owned that were acquired through loan foreclosures. Also, the increase includes $736 of marketing, legal and other miscellaneous expenses related to the merger with UNB Corp. The remaining increase is attributed to the merger with UNB Corp.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Companys provision for Federal income taxes was $3,611, or 31.8% of pretax income, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3,824, or 32.9% of pretax income, for the same period in 2001. The effective tax rate for each period differed from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of tax-exempt income from obligations of states and political subdivisions, non-taxable loans and earnings on bank-owned life insurance.
18
Asset Quality
Non-performing Assets. To maintain the level of credit risk of the loan portfolio at an appropriate level, management sets underwriting standards and internal lending limits and provides for proper diversification of the portfolio by placing constraints on the concentration of credits within the portfolio. In monitoring the level of credit risk within the loan portfolio, management utilizes a formal loan review process to monitor, review, and consider relevant factors in evaluating specific credits in determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses. The Companys banking subsidiary formally documents its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and the evaluation is reviewed and discussed with its board of directors.
Failure to receive principal and interest payments when due on any loan results in efforts to restore such loan to current status. Loans are classified as non-accrual when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and accrued interest is in doubt. Continued unsuccessful collection efforts generally lead to initiation of foreclosure or other legal proceedings. Property acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as other assets owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. The Company owned $2,610 of such property at June 30, 2002 compared to $1,762 at June 30, 2001.
Non-performing loans totaled $14,288, or 0.75% of total loans, at June 30, 2002, compared to $9,460, or 0.87% of total loans, at June 30, 2001. Non-performing assets totaled $16,898, or 0.88% of loans and other assets owned at June 30, 2002, compared to $11,222, or 1.17%, at June 30, 2001. Non-accrual loans were mainly comprised of $6,694 of residential mortgage loans, $1,037 of commercial loans, $2,326 of commercial real estate loans and $2,069 of SBA loans, of which $1,345 is guaranteed by the government. The increase resulted primarily from delinquency trends in general. Management of the Company is not aware of any material amounts of loans outstanding, not disclosed in the tables below, for which there is significant uncertainty as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present payment terms. The following is an analysis of the composition of non-performing assets and restructured loans:

0.88 | % | 1.17 | % |
Restructured loans consist of one loan that was restructured in May 1999 and has been performing in accordance with its restructured terms since such time. The restructured loan is not included in non-performing assets.
As of June 30, 2002, impaired loans were $53,805 compared with $28,844 at March 31, 2002. The increase in impaired loans was attributed to the downgrade of several commercial loans after a complete review and analysis of the borrowers primary source of repayment and documentation related to that source of repayment.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company records a provision necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to provide for probable incurred credit losses. The provision is charged against earnings when it is established. An allowance for loan losses is established based on managements best judgment, which involves a continuing review of prevailing national and local economic conditions, changes in the size and composition of the portfolio and review of individual problem credits. Growth of the loan portfolio, loss experience, economic conditions, delinquency levels, credit mix, and an evaluation of selected credits are factors that affect judgments concerning the adequacy of the allowance. Actual losses on loans are charged against the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $26.8 million at June 30, 2002, representing 1.40% of total loans, compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2001, or 1.03% of total loans. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2002
19
were $2,182, compared to net charge-offs of $847 for the same period in 2001. The increase in net charge-offs for the 2002 period compared to 2001 is partially attributed to a weakening in economic conditions from the fourth quarter 2001 and write downs of impaired loans within the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios, which reflects managements philosophy to reduce non-performing loans and assets.
Charge-offs have been made in accordance with the Companys standard policy and have occurred primarily in the commercial, commercial real estate and mortgage loan portfolios.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 187.5% at June 30, 2002, compared to 108.5% at June 30, 2001. Although used as a general indicator, the coverage ratio is not a primary factor in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance by management, particularly given the extent to which the Companys non-performing loans consist of single-family residential mortgage loans.
Comparison of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 Financial Condition
Total assets were $2.64 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of $1.17 billion from December 31, 2001. Total securities increased by $104.0 million to $407.3 million from December 31, 2001. Both of these increases were primarily due to the merger with UNB Corp. The Companys general investment strategy is to manage the portfolio to include rate sensitive assets, matched against interest sensitive liabilities to reduce interest rate risk. In recognition of this strategy, as well as to provide a secondary source of liquidity to accommodate loan demand and possible deposit withdrawals, the Company has chosen to classify the majority of its securities as available-for-sale. At June 30, 2002, 98.2% of the total securities portfolio was classified as available-for-sale, while those securities that the Company intends to hold to maturity represented the remaining 1.8%. This compares to 96.9% and 3.1% classified as available-for-sale and held to maturity, respectively, at December 31, 2001.
Total loans increased $880.7 million to $1.91 billion at June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily due to the merger with UNB Corp.
Total deposits increased to $1.83 billion at June 30, 2002 from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase was due to the merger with UNB Corp. The Company continues to emphasize growth in its existing retail deposit base, provided incremental deposit growth is cost effective compared to alternative funding sources. Total interest-bearing deposits accounted for 90.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2002, compared to 92.4% at December 31, 2001.
Short-term borrowings, including federal funds purchased, increased $97.3 million to $98.3 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due sweep repurchase agreements added from the Merger with UNB Corp. and short term funding needs. Other borrowings increased $140.1 million to $359.7 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $219.6 million at December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to the merger with UNB Corp. This increase was partially offset by the payoff of the $7.0 million term loan.

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of funds to accommodate customer loan demand as well as deposit withdrawals while continuously seeking higher yields from longer term lending and investing opportunities. This is accomplished principally by maintaining sufficient cash flows and liquid assets along with consistent stable core deposits and the capacity to maintain immediate access to funds. These immediately accessible funds may include federal funds sold, unpledged marketable securities, reverse repurchase agreements or available lines of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), or other financial institutions. An important factor in the preservation of liquidity is the maintenance of public confidence, as this facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits.
The Companys principal source of funds to satisfy short-term liquidity needs comes from cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and borrowing capabilities through the FHLB as well as other sources. Changes in the balance of cash and due from banks are due to changes in volumes of federal funds sold, and the float and reserves related to deposit accounts, which may fluctuate significantly on a day-to-day basis. The securities portfolio serves as an additional source of liquidity for the Company. Securities with a market value of $399,822 were classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2002, representing 98.2% of the total securities portfolio. Classification of securities as available-for-sale provides for flexibility in managing net interest margin, interest rate risk, and liquidity.

The Companys bank subsidiary is a member of the FHLB. Membership provides an opportunity to control the banks cost of funds by providing alternative funding sources, to provide flexibility in the management of interest rate risk through the wide range of available funding sources, to manage liquidity via immediate access to such funds, and to provide flexibility through utilization of customized funding products to fund various loan and investment products and strategies.
On October 18, 1999, the Company completed an offering of $20.0 million aggregate liquidation amount of 9.875% Capital Securities, Series A, due 2029. These securities represent preferred beneficial interests in BFOH Capital Trust I, a special purpose trust formed for the purpose of the offering. The proceeds from the offering were used by the Trust to purchase Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Debentures) from the Company. Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, these Capital Securities may represent up to 25% of a bank holding companys Tier 1 capital. The holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions at the annual rate of 9.875% of the liquidation amount. Distributions are payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2000. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the Capital Securities, and payment of distributions on the Capital Securities. The Trust is required to redeem the Capital Securities on or, in certain circumstances, prior to October 15, 2029. There are no significant covenants or limitations with respect to the business of the Company that are contained in the instruments which govern the Capital Securities and the Debentures.
Shareholders equity at June 30, 2002 was $293.6 million, compared to shareholders equity at December 31, 2001 of $116.5 million, an increase of $177.1 million. The merger with UNB Corp. contributed $174.6 million to shareholders equity. Shareholders equity also increased by net income of $7.8 million, an increase of $1.3 in other comprehensive income and these increases were partially offset by cash dividends paid of $5.8 million. The Companys Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program authorizing management to repurchase up to 550,000 common shares. The company expects to purchase shares from time to time in the open market as market conditions warrant.
Under the risk-based capital guidelines, a minimum capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% is required, of which, at least 4.0% must consist of Tier 1 capital (equity capital net of goodwill). Additionally, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 3.0% must be maintained. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.80%, of which 9.56% consisted of Tier 1 capital. The leverage ratio for the Company at June 30, 2002, was 7.94%.
Cash dividends declared and paid to shareholders of the Company totaled $5.8 million, or $0.26 per share, during the first six months of 2002. This compares to dividends of $2.6 million, or $0.22 per share, for the same period in 2001.
Considering the Companys capital adequacy, profitability, available liquidity sources and funding sources, the Companys liquidity is considered by management to be adequate to meet current and projected needs.

Item 3:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk caused by the differences in cash flows and repricing characteristics that occur in various assets and liabilities as a result of changes in interest rates. The asset and liability management process is designed to measure and manage that risk to maintain consistent levels of net interest income and net present value of equity under any interest rate scenario.
The Corporation uses a dynamic computer model to generate earnings simulations, duration and net present value forecasts and gap analyses, each of which measures interest rate risk from a different perspective. The model incorporates a large number of assumptions, including the absolute level of future interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, various spread relationships, prepayment speeds, repricing opportunities, cash flow characteristics of instruments without contractual maturity dates and changes in the volumes of multiple loan, investment and deposit categories. Management believes that individually and in the aggregate these assumptions are reasonable, but the complexity of the simulation modeling process results in a sophisticated estimate, not a precise calculation of exposure.
One of the most significant assumptions is the assignment of deposit balances without a stated maturity date to specific time frames. Since these deposits are subject to withdrawal on demand, and have rates that can be changed at any time, they could be considered immediately repriceable and assigned to the shortest maturity, resulting in a significant level of liability sensitivity. However, actual practice indicates that balances are withdrawn and replaced over a much longer time frame, and rates are modified less frequently and in smaller increments than changes which occur in financial market rates. Although the Corporation prefers to use a statistical analysis of historical deposit behavior to derive appropriate distributions of deposit balances over the simulation time horizon, in the current data non-maturity deposits are assigned a one-month maturity. The combined deposits of the merged company will be reanalyzed to provide a more accurate depiction of interest rate risk.
The model then applies a predetermined immediate parallel increase or decrease in the level of interest rates to forecast the impact on both net interest income and capital one year forward. While this methodology provides a comprehensive appraisal of interest rate risk, it is not necessarily indicative of actual or expected financial performance. Changes in interest rates that affect the entire yield curve equally at a single point in time are not typical. The residential mortgage prepayment assumptions are based on industry medians and could differ from the Corporations actual results due to non-financial prepayment incentives and other local factors. The behavior of depositors is based on an analysis of historical changes in balances and might not fully reflect current attitudes toward other investment alternatives. Moreover, the model does not include any interim changes in strategy the Corporation might instate in response to shifts in interest rates.
At June 30, 2002, assuming an immediate, parallel 200 basis point shift in market yields, the Corporations net interest income for the next twelve months was calculated to decline if rates fell or if rates rose. Since interest rates on deposit products are very low, the Corporation would not realize any significant future benefit from lower rates, but could see a continuing decrease in earning asset rates. The net present value of equity is defined as the difference between the present value of the Corporation assets and liabilities. In general, the present value of fixed rate financial instruments declines as market rates increase and increases as rates fall. Using the yield scenario defined above, the net present value of equity was forecasted to decline in a rising rate environment and to rise in a falling rate scenario. The duration of total assets was 37.9 months, compared to a duration of total liabilities of 13 months, indicating that liabilities will both reprice faster than assets and change in value by a smaller amount than the assets over a similar time frame.
Interest rate risk can be managed by using a variety of techniques, including selling existing assets or repaying liabilities, pricing loans and deposits to attract preferred maturities and developing alternative sources of funding or structuring new products to hedge existing exposures. In addition to these balance sheet strategies, the Corporation can also use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors to minimize the potential impact of adverse changes in interest rates. During the second quarter, the Corporation continued to lengthen the duration of its liabilities by extending the term of maturing borrowings to minimize the effect of rising rates on future net interest income.
The Corporation has four interest rate swaps on which it pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate. One swap was executed as a hedge against fixed rate mortgages, which are held in the Corporations portfolio. The net cash flows and market value of the swaps move inversely with those of the fixed rate loans in the portfolio, which reduces the Corporations exposure to changing interest rates. If rates rise, the Corporation receives net cash flows from the swap which compensates for the opportunity loss of holding an asset with a below market yield. Alternatively, the increase in the market value of the swap would balance the loss on the mortgage loans if the loans were sold. If rates fall, the net cash
22
flows given up are offset by the increased value of assets with an above market yield. The gain that would be realized on the sale of the loans would counteract the loss on the termination of the interest rate swap. Three other swaps were executed to convert variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate, which reduces the risk of increased interest expense in a rising rate environment. The Corporation also maintains a portfolio of options on the S & P 500 to offset five-year certificate of deposit liabilities that are contractually linked to the index. At the end of June, the derivatives portfolio had a net loss of $2,883 on outstanding notional principal of $62,483.
