IBERIABANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) include all wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The principal business of the Company is conducted through its bank subsidiaries headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana with operations in south central Louisiana, north Louisiana and the greater New Orleans area.

 

All normal, recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Note 2 – Earnings Per Share

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, basic earnings per share were based on 5,822,158 weighted average shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share were based on 6,305,583 weighted average shares outstanding. For the same period, the calculations for both basic and diluted shares outstanding exclude: (a) the weighted average unreleased shares owned by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) of 95,154; (b) the weighted average shares owned by the Management Recognition Plan and Trust (“MRP”) of 135,618; and (c) the weighted average shares purchased in Treasury Stock of 1,665,924.

 

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for decisions made (1) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to FAS 133, (2) in connection with other Board projects dealing with financial instruments and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative. This Statement clarifies several issues and will result in more consistent reporting of contracts. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. The provisions of this Statement are to be applied prospectively.

 

Note 4 – Compensation Cost for Stock-Based Incentives

 

In October 1995, the FASB issued FAS 123, which requires disclosure of the compensation cost for stock-based incentives granted after January 1, 1995 based on the fair value at grant date for awards. The Company uses the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion 25 to account for stock options granted.

Note 5 – Pro Forma Statements of Acquisition

 

The Company completed the acquisition of Acadiana Bancshares, Inc. (“Acadiana”) at the close of business on February 28, 2003. This acquisition enhances the Company’s position as a leading financial services provider in its primary market base area and in the state of Louisiana.

 

The consolidated statement of income includes the results of operations for Acadiana from the acquisition date. The transaction resulted in $24 million of goodwill, $4 million of core deposit intangibles and $300 thousand of other intangibles. The amount allocated to the core deposit intangible was determined by an independent valuation and is being amortized over the estimated useful life of eight years using a double declining method. The amount allocated to other intangibles represents the estimated value assigned to mortgage servicing rights and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years using an interest method.

 

In the acquisition, shareholders of Acadiana received total consideration of $39.38 per outstanding share of Acadiana common stock in a combination of the Company’s common stock and cash. The combination was accounted for as a purchase with the purchase price allocated as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company during the first three months of the year. This discussion and analysis highlights and supplements information contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly the preceding consolidated financial statements and notes. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which would cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services.

 

FIRST QUARTER OVERVIEW

 

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company earned $5.2 million, or $.83 per share on a diluted basis. This is a 19% increase over the $4.4 million, or $.72 per diluted share, earned for the first quarter of 2002. Earnings performance for the current quarter was influenced by the acquisition of Acadiana at the close of business on February 28, 2003, and many other factors, the key components of which are summarized below.

 

  Net interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 10%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. This was largely attributable to an increased volume of earning assets. The corresponding net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis declined to 4.18% from 4.41% as the related spreads associated with the earning asset increase trended down.

 

  Improvement in noninterest income of $1.3 million, or 36%, for the first quarter of this year as compared to the same period of 2002, was mainly driven by increased service charge revenues on deposit accounts, increased cash surrender values on bank-owned life insurance policies and gains on the sales of mortgage loans.

 

  Noninterest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 14%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same quarter last year. This was due in part to the absorption of expenses for the last month of the quarter related to the acquisition of Acadiana. Additionally, other increases for the first quarter of this year as compared to the same period last year were infrastructure improvements and Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) related charges, largely the result of writedowns on one specific OREO property.

 

  The Company provided $1.6 million for possible loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2002 to bring the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans to 1.23% at the end of the quarter. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2003 were $1.1 million, or 0.38% of average loans on an annualized basis compared to $.9 million, or 0.37% a year earlier. Nonperforming assets decreased $.5 million during the first quarter of this year as compared to year-end 2002.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Earning Assets

 

Earning assets are composed of any interest or dividend-bearing asset, including loans, securities, short-term investments and loans held for sale. Interest income associated with earning assets is the Company’s primary source of income. At March 31, 2003, total average earning assets of the Company amounted to $1.6 billion, an increase of $231.0 million, or 17.1%, from December 31, 2002.

 

Loans and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses The loan portfolio increased $263.3 million, or 25.2%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2003, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2002. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio at March 31, 2003 was 87.8% compared to 84.1% at December 31, 2002. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

The increase in loans since year-end 2002 was due to $192.2 million obtained through the acquisition of Acadiana, as well as internal growth of $71.1 million. Commercial real estate loans increased $66.8 million, or 26.2%, and commercial business loans increased $31.9 million, or 20.3%. Growth in the commercial loan segment came primarily from traditional commercial, private banking and institutional loans. Growth in residential mortgage loans was $120.9 million, or 54.1%. The Company continues to sell the majority of fixed rate mortgage loan originations and recognize the attendant up front income rather than assume the rate risk associated with a longer term asset. Total consumer loans increased $43.8 million, or 10.8%, during the first three months of this year. Indirect automobile loans were up $8.8 million, or 4.0%, home equity loans increased $24.4 million, or 19.9%, and all other consumer loans increased $10.6 million, or 16.4%. The Company maintains a focus on prime, or low risk, indirect paper. Excluding the effect of the purchase accounting transaction, total commercial loans would have increased $28.1 million, total residential mortgage loans would have increased $31.0 million and consumer loans would have increased $12.0 million.

 

The Company has worked aggressively in transitioning the loan portfolio to be more representative of a commercial bank and recognizes that there is the potential for higher charge-off and nonperforming levels, but also a higher level of returns for investors. As a result, management has assertively worked to improve the risk-adjusted level of return within the loan portfolio. The Company has significantly increased the allowance for loan losses, tightened underwriting guidelines and procedures, improved the underwriting risk/return dynamics, adopted more conservative consumer loan charge-off and nonaccrual guidelines, rewritten the loan policy and established an internal loan review function.

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed property, amounted to $6.1 million, or 0.31% of total assets at March 31, 2003, compared to $6.6 million, or 0.42% of total assets at December 31, 2002. Based on the Company’s normal loan loss reserve analysis, the Company is adequately reserved for the risk of loss in the loan portfolio at this time. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $16.1 million, or 1.23% and 402.9% of total loans and total nonperforming loans, respectively, at March 31, 2003 compared to 1.25% and 301.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2002. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s nonperforming assets, including accruing loans past due 90 days or more, as of the dates indicated.

Most categories of nonperforming assets reflected improvement since the end of 2002. The decrease in nonperforming assets of $469,000 during this period was largely due to an improvement in the amount of loans past due. Foreclosed properties, representing approximately 35% of total nonperforming assets, are principally composed of one commercial real estate property carried at values below recent appraisals. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of this year were $1.1 million, or 0.38% of average loans on an annualized basis as compared to $.9 million for the same quarter last year, or 0.37%. At March 31, 2003, management was not aware of any information regarding a borrower’s inability to comply with loan repayment terms on any material credit not classified as a nonperforming asset.

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the potential risk of loss in the loan portfolio. The Company’s policy is to establish reserves for estimated losses on delinquent and other problem loans when it is determined that losses are expected to be incurred on such loans and leases. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on various factors, including an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, composition of the portfolio, the amount of the Company’s classified assets, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the status of past due principal and interest payments, and other relevant factors. Provisions for loan losses, which are charged against income, increase the allowance. Management of the Company presently believes that its allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31,

Table of Contents

2003, based on facts and circumstances available, to cover any potential losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. However, future adjustments to this allowance may be necessary, and the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumption used by management in making its determinations in this regard.

 

Investment Securities – The Company’s investment securities available for sale increased $41.6 million, or 13.4%, to $351.2 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $309.6 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was due to securities of $40.0 million obtained through the acquisition of Acadiana and purchases of $90.5 million, which were partially offset by sales of $54.6 million, principal amortizations, maturities and calls totaling $32.5 million, and a decrease of $966,000 in the market value of the portfolio.

 

The Company’s investment securities held to maturity increased $16.3 million, or 27.9%, to $74.8 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $58.5 million at December 31, 2002. This increase was due to securities of $17.9 million obtained through the acquisition of Acadiana and purchases of $5.1 million, which were partially offset by principal amortizations, maturities and calls totaling $6.7 million.

 

Short-term InvestmentsShort-term investments result from excess funds that fluctuate daily depending on the funding needs of the Company and are currently invested overnight in an interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas, the total balance of which earns interest at the ending FHLB discount rate. The balance in interest-bearing deposits at other institutions increased $18.3 million, or 67.2%, to $45.5 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $27.2 million at December 31, 2002.

 

Mortgage Loans Held for SaleLoans held for sale increased $3.1 million, or 35.8%, to $11.8 million at March 31, 2003 compared to $8.7 million at December 31, 2002. Loans held for sale have primarily been fixed rate single-family residential mortgage loans under contract to be sold in the secondary market. In most cases, loans in this category are sold within thirty days.

 

Other Assets – Included in this category are cash and due from banks, premises and equipment, goodwill and acquisition intangibles and other assets. From December 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003, cash and due from banks increased $12.3 million, or 33.5%, premises and equipment increased $9.6 million, or 53.1%, and other assets increased $17.1 million, or 37.9%. Also included in this category is the increase in goodwill and acquisition intangibles of $28.0 million, or 79.1%, as a result of the acquisition of Acadiana.

 

Funding Sources

 

The Company’s principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes has traditionally come from deposits obtained from clients in its primary market areas. The Company attracts local deposit accounts by offering a wide variety of accounts, competitive interest rates and convenient branch office locations and service hours. Increasing core deposits through the development of client relationships is a continuing focus of the Company. Other funding sources include short-term and long-term borrowings, subordinated debt and shareholders’ equity. The following discussion highlights the major changes in the mix during the first three months of the year.

 

Deposits – Total end of period deposits increased $247.6 million, or 19.9%, to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2003, compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2002. The growth in deposits for the first quarter of 2003 includes the effect of deposits acquired in a purchase accounting transaction with Acadiana which was completed during the first quarter of 2003. The purchase of Acadiana resulted in the addition of $210.0 million in total deposits. From December 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003, noninterest-bearing checking accounts increased $29.9 million, or 18.8%, interest-bearing checking account deposits increased $26.0 million, or 9.2%, savings and money market accounts increased $47.4 million, or 14.8%, and certificate of deposit accounts increased $144.3 million, or 29.9%. Excluding the effect of the purchase accounting transaction, noninterest-bearing checking accounts would have increased $8.9 million, or 5.6%, interest-bearing checking account deposits would have decreased $11.3 million, or 4.0%, savings and money market accounts would have increased $33.7 million, or 10.5%, and certificates of deposit accounts would have increased $6.3 million, or 1.3%.

Short-term Borrowings – Short-term borrowings increased $30.2 million, or 31.2%, to $127.0 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $96.8 million at December 31, 2002. The Company’s short-term borrowings at March 31, 2003 were comprised of $104.0 million in FHLB advances with maturities of six months or less, $21.4 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and $1.6 million outstanding on a $15.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The level of short-term borrowings can fluctuate significantly on a daily basis depending on funding needs and which source of funds are used to satisfy these needs.

 

Long-term Borrowings – Long-term borrowings increased $81.0 million, or 107.4%, to $156.5 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $75.5 million at December 31, 2002. At March 31, 2003, the Company’s long-term borrowings were comprised primarily of fixed-rate advances from the FHLB. Additionally, there was a balance of $10.0 million of junior subordinated debt as a result of a $10.0 million trust preferred offering, which closed in November 2002. The primary reason for the increase in long-term debt was due to the purchase accounting transaction with Acadiana in which the Company acquired FHLB fixed-rate advances totaling $69.5 million.

 

Shareholders’ Equity – Shareholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and provides the Company with a cushion to withstand unforeseen adverse developments. At March 31, 2003, total shareholders’ equity totaled $182.3 million, an increase of $42.7 million, or 30.6%, compared to $139.6 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in shareholders’ equity for the first three months of the year was the result of the Company’s net income of $5.2 million, $482,000 of common stock released by the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) trust, $166,000 of common stock earned by participants of the Company’s Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) trust, $106,000 from the reissuance of treasury stock for stock options exercised and $39.2 million for the issuance of common stock as a result of the purchase accounting transaction with Acadiana. Such increases were partially offset by cash dividends declared on the Company’s common stock of $1.3 million, repurchases of $458,000 of the Company’s common stock that were placed into treasury and a $691,000 reduction in other comprehensive income.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company reported net income of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $4.4 million earned during the first three months of 2002, an increase of $831,000, or 18.9%. The Company’s interest income increased $438,000, interest expense decreased $1.0 million, the provision for loan losses increased $375,000, noninterest income increased $1.3 million, noninterest expense increased $1.4 million and income tax expense increased $140,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the first three months of 2002. Included in earnings are the results of operations of Acadiana from the acquisition date forward.

 

Net Interest Income As the primary driver of core earnings, net interest income is subject to constant evaluation. The rate of return and relative risk associated with earning assets are weighed to determine the appropriateness and mix of earning assets. Additionally, the need for lower cost funding sources is weighed against relationships with clients and future growth requirements. Net interest income is the difference between interest realized on earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s average interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.91% during the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to 4.02% for the comparable period in 2002. The Company’s net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis, which is net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.18% during the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to 4.41%, for the comparable period in 2002.

 

Net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 10.1%, to $15.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase was due to a $1.0 million, or 13.3%, decrease in interest expense, together with a $438,000, or 2.0%, increase in interest income. The increase in interest income was the result of a $245.6 million, or 18.3%, increase in the average balance of earning assets which was partially offset by an 86 basis point decrease in the yield earned on earning assets. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a 75 basis point decrease in the cost of

interest-bearing liabilities, which was partially offset by a $221.4 million, or 19.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Management believes that the Company is not significantly affected by changes in interest rates over an extended period of time. Under traditional measures of interest rate gap positions, the Company is moderately liability sensitive in the short-term. As of March 31, 2003, the Company’s financial model indicated that an immediate and sustained 100 basis point rise in rates over the 12 months would approximate a 2.0% increase in net interest income, while a 100 basis point decline in rates over the same period would approximate a 1.5% decrease in net interest income from an unchanged rate environment. Computations of interest rate risk do not necessarily include certain actions that management may undertake to manage this risk in response to anticipated changes in interest rates.

 

The Company will continue to monitor investment opportunities and weigh the associated risk/return. The Company has also engaged in interest rate swap transactions, which are a form of a derivative financial instrument, to modify the indicated net interest sensitivity to levels deemed to be appropriate. Through this instrument, interest rate risk is managed by hedging with an interest rate swap contract designed to pay fixed and receive floating interest. The interest rate swaps of the Company were executed to modify net interest sensitivity to levels deemed appropriate. Additionally, less aggressive repricing of the maturing certificate of deposit portfolio in the current low rate environment has allowed the Company to reduce funding costs and thereby offset the negative impact of recent FRB rate reductions.

Provision For Loan Losses Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on various factors as they relate to the collectability of the Company’s loan portfolio. Management of the Company assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as deemed appropriate in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged against income.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the provision for loan losses was $1.6 million as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2002. The higher provision is attributable to loan growth and changes in the mix of loans from period to period as well as net charge-offs to the previously established reserves. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was 1.23% at March 31, 2003 and 2002, compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2002.

 

Noninterest Income The Company’s total noninterest income was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2002. Noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 35.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. The primary reasons for the increase in noninterest income was due to a $639,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $337,000 increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market, a $67,000 increase in gains on the sale of investment securities, a $62,000 increase in earnings and cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, a $60,000 increase in ATM fee income from improved usage, a $19,000 increase in gains on sale of assets, and a $101,000 increase in other net noninterest income.

 

Noninterest Expense Expense management is part of the Company’s corporate culture. Discretionary expenses, staffing levels and compensation are regularly reviewed. Noninterest expense includes costs related to salary and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, communication and delivery, marketing and business development, amortization of acquisition intangibles and other expenses. Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 13.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003, to $11.7 million, compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in noninterest expense was partly due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $383,000, due largely to the increased staffing levels associated with the Acadiana acquisition. In addition, the Company also experienced a rising cost associated with the increased market value of the Company’s common stock as it relates to the Company’s ESOP. Other expense increases included, $68,000 in building and occupancy expense, $52,000 in marketing and business development expense, $123,000 in the franchise and share tax assessments, $112,000 in data processing expense, primarily as a result of improvements in technology, $143,000 in OREO related charges, primarily related to writedowns, $289,000 in legal and professional expense and $67,000 in communication and delivery expense. Other net noninterest expenses increased by $164,000.

 

Income Tax Expense Income tax expense increased $140,000, or 6.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $2.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was 30.3% and 32.7%, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to the increase in income before income taxes. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relates to variances in items that are either nontaxable or nondeductible, mainly the nondeductible portion of the ESOP compensation expense, nontaxable portion of municipal investments and nontaxable portion of bank owned life insurance policies.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company manages its liquidity with the objective of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. The primary sources of funds for the Company are deposits, borrowings, repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as well as funds provided from operations. While scheduled cash flows from the amortization and maturities of loans and securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and investment security

Table of Contents

prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The FHLB provides an additional source of liquidity to make funds available for general requirements and also to assist with the variability of less predictable funding sources. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $248.8 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Dallas. The Company and IBERIABANK also have various funding arrangements with commercial banks providing up to $35 million in the form of federal funds and other lines of credit. At March 31, 2003, the Company had $1.6 million outstanding on a $15.0 million line of credit with a correspondent bank. The Company has also explored other alternative funding sources such as the issuance of trust preferred securities, which may be included in Tier 1 capital up to 25% of the total of the Company’s core capital elements, including the trust preferred securities.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments and fund loan commitments. At March 31, 2003, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $22.7 million. At the same time, commitments under unused lines of credit, including credit card lines, amounted to $271.1 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in twelve months or less at March 31, 2003 totaled $390.5 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as borrowings and anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its liquidity requirements.

 

At March 31, 2003, the Company and its subsidiary banks had regulatory capital that was in excess of regulatory requirements. The Company’s actual levels and current requirements as of March 31, 2003 are detailed below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are presented at December 31, 2002 in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003. Management believes there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2002.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision, and with the participation of, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the disclosure controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and the CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Disclosure controls include internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are properly authorized, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use and transactions are properly recorded and reported.

 

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls’ cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.
