Cavalry Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
Cavalry Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), a Tennessee corporation, is the holding company for Cavalry Banking (the "Bank") a state chartered Federal Reserve member commercial bank. Miller & Loughry Insurance and Services, Inc. (Miller & Loughry), an independent insurance agency, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Miller & Loughry, the Bank and the Company. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002.
2. Stock Options
The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS 123 requires entities which continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to provide pro-forma earnings per share disclosure for stock option grants made in 1995 and subsequent years as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
50; Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB No. 123, provides that an entity that has transitioned to the accounting treatment prescribed by SFAS 123 may use the intrinsic value method in lieu of the fair value based method for determining the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. SFAS 148 requires disclosure in addition to SFAS 123 if APB opinion No. 25 is currently being applied.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 (APB), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the plan because the stock option price is equal to or greater than the fair value at the grant date. Following is a reconciliation of reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended:

5. Business Segments
The Company and its subsidiary provide community oriented financial services to individuals and businesses primarily within Davidson, Rutherford and Bedford counties in Middle Tennessee.
The Companys segments are identified by the products and services offered, principally distinguished as banking, trust, insurance, and mortgage banking operations. The majority of loans originated for sale are sold with the servicing rights attached.
Segment information is derived from the internal reporting system utilized by management with accounting policies and procedures consistent with those described in Note 1 of the 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. Segment performance is evaluated by the Company based on profit or loss before income taxes. Revenue, expense, and asset levels reflect those which can be specifically identified and those assigned based on internally developed allocation methods. These methods have been consistently applied.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts, rather statements based on the Company's current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as expects, feels, believes, anticipates, intends, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results, performance, and achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences inc
lude, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; changes in market conditions in the Companys principal market area; adverse changes in the financial condition of the loan loss reserves; competitive pressures on loan or deposit terms; legislative and regulatory changes; and other factors disclosed periodically in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
The Companys critical accounting policies are set forth in the Managements Discussion an Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
Total assets were $457.6 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $464.4 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $6.8 million or 1.46%. This decline was primarily a result of a decline in total deposits reflecting a seasonal decline in public deposits. As a result of the decline in deposits, cash and cash equivalents decreased from $73.2 million at December 31, 2002, to $64.7 million at March 31, 2003. Investment securities available-for-sale increased from $37.9 million at December 31, 2002, to $38.1 million at March 31, 2003. Loans receivable, net increased $15.3 million from $300.5 million at December 31, 2002, to $315.8 million at March 31, 2003 as a result of continued loan demand. Loans available for sale declined from $17.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $3.3 million at March 31, 2003. This decline wa
s a result of faster funding by purchasers of these loans. Office properties and equipment increased from $18.1 million at December 31, 2002 to $18.6 million at March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily a result of construction in progress on the branch office on Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna, Tennessee in Rutherford County. This location is expected to be open for business in June of 2003.
Deposit accounts decreased $10.3 million from $407.8 million at December 31, 2002, to $397.5 million at March 31, 2003. Certificates of deposit decreased $2.6 million from $151.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $149.2 million at March 31, 2003. Savings deposits increased $2.0 million from $16.6 million at December 31, 2002 to $18.6 million at March 31, 2003. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $12.2 million from $181.9 million at December 31, 2002 to $169.7 million at March 31, 2003. Non-interest bearing accounts increased $2.6 million from $57.3 million at December 31, 2002 to $59.9 million at March 31, 2003. Management feels that these declines are temporary, and will continue to market deposit relationships.
Shareholders equity increased by $1.1 million from $49.7 million at December 31, 2002, to $50.8 million at March 31, 2003. This increase was a result of net income of $1.2 million and the release of ESOP shares of $367,000. These increases were partially offset by common stock repurchases of $137,000 in Company common stock, a decrease in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $37,000, net of taxes, and dividends of $298,000.
Non-performing assets were $733,000 at December 31, 2002 and $672,000 at March 31, 2003. Reflecting this reduction in non-performing assets, the allowance for loan losses was $4,634,000 at March 31, 2003, down slightly from $4,657,000 at December 31, 2002.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002.
Net Income. Net income was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Return on average assets increased from 1.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 1.06% for the same period in 2003. Return on average equity also increased from 9.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 9.44% for the same period in 2003. Earnings per share increased from $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $0.18 per diluted share for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily a result of higher non-interest income and a lower provision for loan losses. These increases were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a lower net interest income.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $100,000 from $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $3.9 million for the same period in 2003. Interest rate spread decreased from 4.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 3.73% for the same period in 2003. Net interest margin decreased from 4.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 3.98% for the same period in 2003. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 111.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 115.89% for the same period in 2003.
Interest income decreased 8.5% to $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $5.9 million for the same period in 2002. Interest on loans decreased from $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $5.0 million for the same period in 2003. Average loans outstanding increased from $281.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $314.9 million for the same period in 2003. The average yield decreased from 7.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 6.47% for the same period in 2003, as a result of declining interest rates. Income on all other investments consisting of mortgage backed securities, other investments, Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock, bank deposits and federal funds decreased from $692,000 for the three months ended March 31, 200
2, to $409,000 for the same period in 2003. Average investments decreased from $82.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $81.7 million for the same period in 2003. The average yield decreased from 3.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 2.03% for the same period in 2003.
Interest expense decreased from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $1.5 million for the same period in 2003. Average interest-bearing deposits increased from $325.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $339.3 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was a result of continuing efforts to increase market share of deposits. The average cost of deposits decreased from 2.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 1.82% for the same period in 2003. Average borrowings increased from $989,000 at an average cost of 2.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $2.9 million at an average cost of 3.32% for the same period in 2003. The total cost of funds decreased from 2.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 1.83% for the same period in 2003. Avera
ge interest-bearing liabilities increased from $326.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $342.2 million for the same period in 2003.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provision for loan losses are charges to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as adequate to provide for estimated loan losses based on managements evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. Management also considers the level of problem assets, giving greater weight to the level of classified assets than to the level of nonperforming assets because classified assets include not only nonperforming assets but also performing assets that otherwise exhibit, in managements judgment, potential credit weaknesses.
The provision for loan losses decreased from $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $56,000 for the same period in 2003. Management deemed the allowance for loan losses adequate at March 31, 2003.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $3.6 million for the same period in 2003. In the mortgage banking segment, net gain on sale of loans increased from $569,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $1.3 million for the same period in 2003. The higher gain in 2003 was a result of increased volume. Loan servicing fees increased slightly from $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $71,000 for the same period in 2003. In the banking segment, deposit fees and other operating incomes increased from $879,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $1.1 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was a result of growth in the number of transaction accounts and increased charges. In the trust segment, trus
t fees decreased from $256,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $246,000 for the same period in 2003 as a result of declines in market values of trust assets under management. Commissions and other non-banking fees increased from $459,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $616,000 for the same period in 2003 as result of increased volumes.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $5.6 million for the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits increased from $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $3.6 million for the same period in 2003 primarily as a result of increased staffing. Increased mortgage loan production and insurance sales resulted in increased commissions and related benefits. The increases in other expenses were primarily due to increased loan and deposit activity.
Income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $727,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $778,000 for the same period in 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments, sale of loans, maturing securities and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are influenced greatly by general interest rates, other economic conditions, and competition. The Company and the Bank generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents totaled $64.7 million or 14.14% of total assets, and investment securities availableforsale totaled $38.1 million. At March 31, 2003, the Bank also maintained, but did not draw upon, a line of credit with the
FHLB of Cincinnati in the amount of $10.0 million.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company and the Banks regulatory capital ratios were in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2003, under the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, the Banks actual leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and risked-based capital ratios were 9.22%, 12.72% and 13.97%, respectively, compared to requirements of 3.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2003, under the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, the Companys actual leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and risked-based capital ratios were 10.95%, 15.31%, and 16.56%, respectively.
At March 31, 2003, the Bank had loan commitments of approximately $39.7 million. In addition, at March 31, 2003, the unused portion of lines of credit extended by the Bank was approximately $6.8 million for consumer loans and $22.4 million for commercial loans. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had $5.5 million of letters
of credit outstanding. The adoption of the requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of or for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Companys operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Companys performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a financial institution, the Companys primary component of market risk is interest rate risk. Ultimately, fluctuations in interest rates will impact liquidity, the level of income and expense recorded on most of the Companys assets and liabilities, and the market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company is not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets.
Interest rate risk is managed by management in accordance with policies approved by the Banks Board of Directors. Management formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, management considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional economy, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. Management meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market value of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sales activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments. Management uses an analysis of relationships betwe
en interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to manage interest rate risk.
The following table presents the Company's repricing gap at March 31, 2003. The table indicates that at March 31, 2003 the Company was asset sensitive up to six months and had a positive cumulative GAP for the time periods up to and including one year. This would indicate an increase in earnings in a rising rate environment.

The gap analysis provides the basis for more detailed analysis in a simulation model. Also gap results are popular rate risk indicators. However, to truly evaluate the impact of rate change on income, simulation is the best technique because variables are changed for various rate conditions. Each categorys interest change is calculated as rates ramp up and down. In addition the prepayment speeds and repricing speeds are changed.
Rate Shock is a method for stress testing the Net Interest Margin (NIM) over the next four quarters under several rate change levels. These levels span four 100 basis point increments up and down from the current interest rates. In order to simulate activity, maturing balances are replaced with new balances at the new rate level and repricing balances are adjusted to the new rate shock level. The interest is recalculated for each level along with the new average yield. NIM is then calculated and a margin risk profile is developed. This simulation reveals that the Bank will experience a loss in Net Interest Income if rates decline in the next year. The magnitude and severity of potential loss for a 100 basis point decline in rates under projected growth conditions would be a decline of 13 basis points.
