PACIFIC CREST CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2002
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Pacific Crest Capital, Inc., without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Crest Capital, Inc. ("Pacific Crest" or the "Parent") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pacific Crest Bank (the "Bank") and PCC Capital I ("PCC Capital"), which together are referred to as the "Company". All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current period presentation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. The results of operations for this current interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent period or for the full year.
Note 2. Two-For-One Stock Split
On October 17, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 2-for-1 stock split, to be effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders received one additional share of common stock for each share that they held on the record date of October 30, 2002. The additional shares were distributed on November 12, 2002.
The stock split resulted in the issuance of 2,986,530 shares of common stock. Par value of the stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded the transaction by transferring $29,865 from "Additional paid-in capital" to "Common stock" on November 12, 2002. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in "Common stock" and "Additional paid-in capital" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as in all share and per share amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 3. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information
For purposes of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include "Cash" and "Securities purchased under resale agreements." Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information is as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The tables below present the computation of tangible book value per common share as of the dates indicated (in thousands, except share data):

Tangible book value per common share(1) | $ | 8.87 | $ | 7.85 | |||
Note 5. Computation of Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted earnings per common share were determined by dividing net income by the applicable basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. For the diluted earnings per share computation, the basic weighted average common shares outstanding were increased to include additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive stock options had been exercised. The dilutive effect of stock options was calculated using the treasury stock method.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company wrote down to market value one of its corporate debt securities in order to reflect an other than temporary decline in the market value of that security. The write-down was based on a variety of factors, including a recent rating agency downgrade of the security's debt rating. This write-down totaled $682,000 and is included in "Gain (loss) on sale of investment securities" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company's investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2002 consisted of fixed rate investments in U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, as well as adjustable rate investments in corporate debt securities. The Company's entire investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2002 was scheduled to mature after ten years. U.S. government sponsored agency securities with market values totaling $16.6 million and $47.3 million were pledged to secure borrowings aggregating $10.0 million and $40.0 million at September 30, 2002 and at December 31, 2001, respectively.

Note 10. Federal Income Tax Refund
In April of 2002, the Company received a payment from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") in connection with a refund claim filed by the Company for a prior year's income taxes. The total amount of the payment was $1,218,000, which was comprised of $804,000 for income taxes and $414,000 for interest. The $804,000 was applied as a reduction of "Deferred income taxes, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the $414,000 was applied to a receivable included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets". The Company had accrued as "Other income" $300,000 of the interest during the fourth quarter of 2001 and accrued the remaining $114,000 during the first quarter of 2002.
Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, and addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 was effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt ("SFAS 4"), and an amendment of that SFAS, SFAS No. 64, Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. SFAS 145 also rescinds SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. Further, SFAS 145 amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases ("SFAS 13"), to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or described their applicability under changed conditions. This pronouncement requires gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be classified as an extraordinary item only if the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, have been met. Further, lease modifications with economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions must be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the rescission of SFAS 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to SFAS 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In July of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when they are incurred, and applies prospectively to such activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In October of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions ("SFAS 147"), which provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisitions of a financial institution. This statement requires that the excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination represents goodwill that
9
should be accounted for under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and other Intangible Assets. Thus, the specialized accounting guidance in paragraph 5 of SFAS No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, will not apply after September 30, 2002. If certain criteria in SFAS 147 are met, the amount of the unidentifiable intangible asset will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of the statement. Financial institutions meeting conditions outlined in SFAS 147 will be required to restate previously issued financial statements. Additionally, the scope of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, is amended to include long-term customer-relationship intangible assets such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. This statement is effective beginning October 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 147 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the period ended September 30, 2002. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited financial statements and notes as set forth in this report.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain matters discussed under this caption may constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that the results described or implied in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be achieved and actual results, performance, and achievements could differ materially because the business of the Company involves inherent risks and uncertainties. These risks include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions nationally and in California, unanticipated credit losses in the Company's loan portfolio, rapid changes in interest rates, and other risks discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Two-For-One Stock Split
On October 17, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 2-for-1 stock split, to be effected in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders received one additional share of common stock for each share that they held on the record date of October 30, 2002. The additional shares were distributed on November 12, 2002.
The stock split resulted in the issuance of 2,986,530 shares of common stock. Par value of the stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Accordingly, the Company recorded the transaction by transferring $29,865 from "Additional paid-in capital" to "Common stock" on November 12, 2002.
The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in "Common stock" and "Additional paid-in capital," as well as in all share and per share amounts, in the financial tables and text of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Capital
As of September 30, 2002, Pacific Crest's leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 10.01%, 12.59%, and 14.57%, respectively. The Bank's leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.86%, 12.37%, and 13.63%, respectively. These ratios placed Pacific Crest and the Bank in the "well-capitalized" category as defined by federal regulations, which require corresponding capital ratios of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, to qualify for that designation.
Dividends
On October 17, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share on a post-split basis for the fourth quarter of 2002. The dividend will be paid on December 13, 2002, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2002.
On July 26, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share on a pre-split basis, or $0.05 on a post-split basis, for the third quarter of 2002. The dividend was paid on September 13, 2002 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2002. During the first six months of 2002, the Company declared and paid cash
11
dividends of $0.08 per common share on a post-split basis. The total amount of cash dividends paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $632,000.
Stock Repurchase Plan
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, pursuant to its common stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 88,200 shares of its common stock at an average cost per share of $13.86 on a post-split basis. The total amount paid for these shares was approximately $1.2 million. During the same period, the Company utilized repurchased shares for all of its common stock issuances under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, non-employee directors stock purchase plan, and employee stock option plan, which totaled 86,284 shares on a post-split basis. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had 80,800 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under its common stock repurchase program on a post-split basis.
Sale of Interest Rate Cap Agreement
On February 8, 2000, the Company sold its interest rate cap agreement and recognized a deferred gain of $1.8 million, which was reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the caption, "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities". The deferred gain is being amortized as a credit to "Interest expensedeposits" over the remaining life of the original interest rate cap agreement, which had a maturity date of June 8, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, the amount of deferred gain amortization totaled $415,000, which resulted in a reduction in interest expense on deposits. As of September 30, 2002, the remaining, unamortized deferred gain totaled $380,000 and will be amortized as follows: $140,000 for the last three months of 2002 and $240,000 for the first six months of 2003.
Preferred Lender Status
In September of 2002, the Company was awarded "Preferred Lender" status in the San Francisco SBA district by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA"). This district includes the following 14 California counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, and Sonoma. The Company was previously awarded "Preferred Lender" status in the San Diego SBA district (which includes San Diego and Imperial counties), the Los Angeles SBA district (which includes Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties), the Santa Ana SBA district (which includes Orange County), and the Portland SBA district (which covers the entire state of Oregon). "Preferred Lender" status is the highest designation granted lenders by the SBA.
FHLB Credit Line Expansion and Recent Long-Term Advances
In July of 2002, the FHLB approved an increase in Pacific Crest Bank's available credit line from 20% of total assets to 35% of total assets. As a result, the Bank's credit line increased by $81.5 million, to $190.2 million, based on total assets at that time. All FHLB advances must be secured by eligible loans and/or eligible securities. The FHLB credit facility serves as an excellent source of low cost funding and is an important component of the Company's strategy to reduce funding costs. The Company is focusing on using the FHLB credit facility primarily for fixed rate advances with 12-36 month terms as part of its hedging strategy to insulate the Company from potentially higher interest rates in 2003 and 2004.
During the third quarter of 2002 and in October of 2002, the Company obtained a total of $80.0 million in long-term, fixed rate advances from the FHLB, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.81%, in order to take advantage of favorable long-term borrowing rates.
12
The advances were obtained as follows:
Corporate Governance
The following are some of the key corporate governance practices at the Company, which are oriented to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest and that the Company is operated in the best interest of shareholders:
Additionally, one of the Company's directors, Rudolph I. Estrada, is a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors and Chairman of the Company's Nominating and Governance Committee.
Declining Interest Rate Environment
During the first nine months of 2002, the Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate unchanged at 1.75%. However, during 2001, the Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate by a total of 475 basis points, to 1.75%. The impact of this cumulative reduction led to a lower interest rate environment in 2001, which continued into the first nine months of 2002, and resulted in (i) issuer calls of $219.2 million and Company sales of $10.0 million of the Company's fixed rate, U.S. government sponsored agency callable bonds (the "callable bonds"), (ii) downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans, and (iii) the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products. Additionally, the interest rates declined on the Company's adjustable rate investments and borrowings.

16
increase in net occupancy expenses was primarily due to a cost of approximately $110,000 related to a defalcation at one of the Company's branches. The reduction in legal, audit, and other professional fees was primarily due to the $175,000 reversal in the first quarter of 2002 of a portion of an accrual originally taken in the fourth quarter of 2001 for estimated expenses relating to (i) obtaining a favorable ruling on an IRS income tax refund claim, and (ii) settling a legal claim brought against the Bank.

Net Interest IncomeThree Months Analysis
On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $1.4 million, to $6.2 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a $2.3 million decline in interest expense, which was principally attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Company's deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the reduction of 475 basis points, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve in 2001. Partially offsetting the
24
decline in interest expense was a $839,000 drop in interest income, which was primarily due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds in 2001.
On a volume and rate analysis basis, the $1.4 million growth in net interest income was due to increases of $852,000 and $581,000 attributable to changes in volume and interest rates, respectively. The $852,000 increase attributable to changes in volume was principally due to a $1.1 million increase in interest income attributable to loan growth, and a $0.6 million decrease in interest expense resulting from deposit run-off. Partially offsetting these factors was a $0.8 million reduction in interest income resulting from the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds.
The $581,000 increase in net interest income attributable to changes in interest rates was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense resulting from the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits. This factor was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest income on loans, which resulted from the downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. All of these factors resulted from a lower interest rate environment attributable to a cumulative 475 basis point reduction, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.
The impact of the federal funds rate decreases in 2001 caused downward repricing on the Company's adjustable rate loans, especially those tied to the prime rate. The federal funds rate is the rate at which banks lend to each other in the overnight market. Reductions in the federal funds rate generally result in reductions of the prime rates offered by major banks, including Bank of America. The Company's prime rate loans are priced at a margin above either Bank of America's prime lending rate or the published Wall Street Journal prime lending rate. As of September 30, 2002, 85.1% and 41.4% of the Company's loan portfolio consisted of adjustable rate loans and prime rate loans, respectively.
The downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans was partially offset by the impact of the interest rate floors that exist on most of the Company's adjustable rate loans. Interest rate floors protect the Company in a declining interest rate environment, as affected loans do not reprice downward to their fully indexed rate when interest rates fall. Another offsetting factor was that the Company's adjustable rate loans generally can reprice only up to a maximum of 200 basis points in a year, and thus did not reprice downward the full 475 basis points of the federal funds rate.
The net interest rate spread grew by 109 basis points, to 4.20%, during the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to a decrease of 180 basis points, to 3.34%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 71 basis points, to 7.54%, in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the previously mentioned lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, partially offset by a change in the composition of the Company's average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in the yield on loans, partially offset by a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities, which resulted principally from the calls and sales of the callable bonds.
Total Interest IncomeThree Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest income decreased by $839,000, to $10.5 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets,
25
which decreased interest income by $1.3 million, partially offset by the growth in the balance of these assets, which increased interest income by $440,000.
Average total interest-earning assets grew by $7.3 million, to $551.7 million, during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to increases of $52.9 million and $15.0 million in average loans and average mortgage-backed securities, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $51.7 million in average callable bonds. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities. The percentage of average loans to average total interest-earning assets increased to 84.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 76.0% during the same period in 2001.
The reduction in average callable bonds of $51.7 million, to zero, was due to the liquidation of the Company's fixed rate callable bond portfolio during the first nine months of 2001. The liquidation occurred primarily through issuer calls of $219.2 million, as well as Company sales of $10.0 million. The issuer calls were attributable to the declining interest rate environment caused by the Federal Reserve's 350 basis point lowering of the federal funds rate during the first nine months of 2001.
The increase in average mortgage-backed securities of $15.0 million, to $73.5 million, was primarily due to fixed rate purchases of $25.5 million in March of 2002, as well as $22.2 million in late July and August of 2002, partially offset by principal payments received on these securities.
The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 71 basis points, to 7.54%, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2001, which continued into the first nine months of 2002:
Partially offsetting the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities.
Total Interest ExpenseThree Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest expense decreased by $2.3 million, to $4.3 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and the related deposit run-off. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased interest expense by $1.9 million.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities grew by $2.9 million, to $508.7 million, during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was primarily due to an increase of
26
$52.2 million in average borrowings, partially offset by a reduction of $49.3 million in average deposits. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 26.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 16.0% during the same period in 2001.
The decline in average deposits of $49.3 million, to $375.4 million, during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to reductions of $40.1 million and $9.8 million in average certificates of deposit and average savings accounts, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in response to the lower interest rate environment resulting from the 475 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.
The changes in the average balances of the Company's deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Company's strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 39.3% during the third quarter of 2002, from 36.9% during the same period in 2001.
The growth in average borrowings of $52.2 million, to $133.3 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to increases of $12.6 million and $75.2 million in average short-term and long-term FHLB advances, respectively. The Company started using short-term, variable rate FHLB advances in April of 2002. The Company obtained long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances of $40.0 million, $30.0 million, and $20.0 million in November of 2001, July of 2002, and August of 2002, respectively. The increase in FHLB advances was partially offset by decreases of $20.9 million and $2.9 million in short-term average State of California borrowings and average securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively, as well as a decrease of $11.7 million in average term borrowings. The short-term borrowings matured at various times during 2001 and were paid off by the Company primarily using the proceeds from the calls and sales of the callable bonds. The average term borrowings declined due to maturities of $10.0 million in April of 2002 and $20.0 million in late September of 2002. These matured term borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 6.63%. The Company paid off these borrowings using lower rate, short-term FHLB advances.
The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 180 basis points, to 3.34%, during the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to the reduction of 195 basis points, to 2.95%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 190 basis points, to 4.43%, in the rate on average borrowings. Partially offsetting these factors was a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits.
The 195 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 133 basis points, 138 basis points, and 223 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was a change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.
The Company anticipates that the rate on its average certificates of deposit will decline in the fourth quarter of 2002, from the 3.63% average rate for the third quarter of 2002, as older, higher rate certificates mature and are replaced by newer, lower rate certificates. The current tiered certificate of deposit rates offered by the Company as of September 6, 2002, the date of the Company's most recent
27
rate changes, are 92 basis point to 165 basis points below the 3.63% average rate for the 2002 third quarter, and are listed as follows:
The 190 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to the change in the composition of average borrowings resulting from (i) the payoffs and maturities during 2001 of short-term securities sold under repurchase agreements and State of California borrowings, bearing higher average rates of 3.94% and 3.61%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2001, (ii) the addition of short-term, variable rate FHLB advances bearing a lower weighted average rate of 1.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and (iii) the addition of long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances bearing a lower weighted average rate of 2.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Net Interest IncomeNine Months Analysis
On an overall basis, net interest income grew by $3.4 million, to $17.1 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to a $7.9 million decline in interest expense, which was principally attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and related deposit run-off. The decreases in interest rates on the Company's deposits resulted from a lower interest rate environment due to the reduction of 475 basis points, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve in 2001. Partially offsetting the decline in interest expense was a $4.5 million drop in interest income, which was primarily due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds in 2001.
On a volume and rate analysis basis, the $3.4 million growth in net interest income was due to increases of $1.9 million and $1.5 million attributable to changes in volume and interest rates, respectively. The $1.9 million increase attributable to changes in volume was principally due to increases in interest income of $3.8 million and $0.7 million attributable to growth in loans and mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense resulting from
31
deposit run-off. Partially offsetting these factors was a $4.9 million reduction in interest income resulting from the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds.
The $1.5 million increase in net interest income attributable to changes in interest rates was primarily attributable to a $5.8 million decrease in interest expense resulting from the Company's lowering of the interest rates on its deposits. This factor was partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in interest income on loans, which resulted from the downward repricing of the Company's adjustable rate loans and the weighted average interest rate on loan payoffs exceeding the weighted average interest rate on loan originations. All of these factors resulted from a lower interest rate environment attributable to a cumulative 475 basis point reduction, to 1.75%, in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.
The net interest rate spread grew by 107 basis points, to 3.92%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to a decrease of 184 basis points, to 3.75%, in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of 77 basis points, to 7.67%, in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the rate paid on average total interest-bearing liabilities was principally attributable to the previously mentioned lowering by the Company of the interest rates on its deposits, as well as a change in the composition of the Company's average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The decrease in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in the yield on loans, partially offset by a change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities, which resulted principally from the calls and sales of the callable bonds.
Total Interest IncomeNine Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest income decreased by $4.5 million, to $31.3 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the calls and sales of the Company's callable bonds. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest income was due to a decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets, which decreased interest income by $4.3 million, as well as to a reduction in the balance of these assets, which decreased interest income by $245,000.
Average total interest-earning assets declined by $21.4 million, to $545.4 million, during first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to a reduction in average callable bonds of $99.4 million, partially offset by increases of $59.1 million and $17.9 million in average loans and average mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The changes in average investment securities and average loans resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities. The percentage of average loans to average total interest-earning assets increased to 84.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 71.2% during the same period in 2001.
The reduction in average callable bonds of $99.4 million, to zero, was due to the liquidation of the Company's fixed rate callable bond portfolio during the first nine months of 2001. The liquidation occurred primarily through issuer calls of $219.2 million, as well as Company sales of $10.0 million. The issuer calls were attributable to the declining interest rate environment caused by the Federal Reserve's 350 basis point lowering of the federal funds rate during the first nine months of 2001.
The increase in average mortgage-backed securities of $17.9 million, to $66.5 million, was primarily due to fixed rate purchases of $25.5 million, in March of 2002, as well as $22.2 million in late July and August of 2002, partially offset by principal payments received on these securities.
The yield earned on average total interest-earning assets decreased by 77 basis points, to 7.67%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due
32
to the following decreases in yields attributable to the declining interest rate environment during 2001, which continued into the first nine months of 2002:
Partially offsetting the decline in the yield earned on average total interest-earning assets was the change in the composition of average total interest-earning assets to higher yield loans from lower yield investment securities.
Total Interest ExpenseNine Months Analysis
On an overall basis, total interest expense decreased by $7.9 million, to $14.2 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, primarily due to the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposits and the related deposit run-off. On a volume and rate analysis basis, the decrease in interest expense was due to a decline in the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased interest expense by $5.8 million, as well as to a reduction in the balance of these liabilities, which reduced interest expense by $2.1 million.
Average total interest-bearing liabilities declined by $24.8 million, to $504.3 million, during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was primarily due to a decrease of $58.0 million in average deposits, partially offset by an increase of $33.2 million in average borrowings. The changes in average deposits and average borrowings resulted in a shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits. The percentage of average borrowings to average total interest-bearing liabilities increased to 22.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 15.0% during the same period in 2001.
The decline in average deposits of $58.0 million, to $391.7 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to reductions of $50.9 million and $8.5 million in average certificates of deposit and average savings accounts, respectively. These decreases were primarily attributable to the Company's lowering of interest rates on all of its deposit products in response to the lower interest rate environment resulting from the 475 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve during 2001.
The changes in the average balances of the Company's deposit products resulted in a shift in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit. This reflected the Company's current strategy and efforts to help reduce the overall cost of its deposits. The percentage of average checking and savings accounts to average deposits rose to 38.0% during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from 34.7% during the same period in 2001.
The growth in average borrowings of $33.2 million, to $112.6 million, during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, was principally due to increases of $10.3 million and $51.9 million in average short-term and long-term FHLB advances, respectively. The Company started
33
using short-term, variable rate advances in April of 2002. The Company started using long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances in November of 2001. The increase in FHLB advances was partially offset by decreases of $17.0 million and $5.1 million in short-term average State of California borrowings and average securities sold under repurchase agreements, respectively, as well as a decrease of $6.9 million in average term borrowings. The short-term borrowings matured at various times during 2001 and were paid off by the Company primarily using the proceeds from the calls and sales of the callable bonds. The average term borrowings declined due to maturities of $10.0 million in April of 2002 and $20.0 million in late September of 2002.
The rate on average total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 184 basis points, to 3.75%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and was principally due to the reduction of 197 basis points, to 3.40%, in the rate on average deposits, as well as the reduction of 179 basis points, to 4.96%, in the rate on average borrowings. Partially offsetting these factors was the shift in the mix of average total interest-bearing liabilities to higher rate borrowings from lower rate deposits.
The 197 basis point decline in the rate on average deposits reflected the Company's lowering of interest rates on its deposit products, which resulted in reductions of 152 basis points, 179 basis points, and 196 basis points in the rates on average checking accounts, average savings accounts, and average certificates of deposit, respectively. Contributing to the decrease in the rate on average deposits was the previously mentioned change in the composition of average deposits to lower rate checking and savings accounts from higher rate certificates of deposit.
The 179 basis point decrease in the rate on average borrowings was primarily due to the change in the composition of average borrowings resulting from (i) the payoffs and maturities during 2001 of short-term securities sold under repurchase agreements and State of California borrowings, bearing higher average rates of 5.54% and 4.73%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, (ii) the addition of short-term, variable rate FHLB advances, bearing a lower weighted average rate of 1.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and (iii) the addition of long-term, fixed rate FHLB advances, bearing a lower weighted average rate of 3.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Provision for Loan Losses
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company increased its provision for loan losses by $25,000, to $175,000, compared to the same period in 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company increased its provision for loan losses by $195,000, to $425,000, compared to the same period in 2001. The Company uses the provision for loan losses to establish the allowance for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 grew by $8,000, to $544,000, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $635,000 and $180,000 in gain on sale of SBA 504 loans and broker fee income and loan prepayment and late fee income, respectively, partially offset by a $788,000 reduction in gain on sale of investment securities.
Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 grew by $401,000, to $2.0 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $838,000 and $327,000 in gain on sale of SBA 504 loans and broker fee income and loan prepayment and late fee income, respectively, partially offset by a $777,000 reduction in gain on sale of investment securities.
The increases in gain on sale of SBA 504 loans and broker fee income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were primarily due to increases in broker fee income of $485,000 and $780,000, respectively, which were attributable to the growth in brokered SBA 504 loans.
The increases in loan prepayment and late fee income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 reflected higher prepayment fees attributable to a lower interest rate environment and a resulting greater amount of loan payoffs. Such payoffs grew by 195.5% and 126.1%, to $26.3 million and $74.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001.
The reductions in gain on sale of investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were due to a $682,000 write-down to market value on one of the Company's corporate debt securities during the third quarter of 2002.
Gain on sale of SBA 7(a) loans decreased by $70,000 and $184,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001, due to reduced loan sales by the Company. The Company bases its SBA 7(a) loan sales on the level of SBA 7(a) loan originations, the premiums available in the secondary market for the sale of such loans, and general liquidity considerations of the Company.
35
Other income grew by $51,000 and $197,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2001. This was primarily due to $42,000 and $92,000 of dividend income that the Company recorded on its investment in FHLB stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The increase in other income for the first nine months of 2002 was also attributable to $114,000 of interest income that the Company recorded in connection with a favorable IRS ruling that the Company received on an income tax refund claim.

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 grew by $774,000, to $3.6 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $734,000 and $69,000 in salaries and employee benefits and net occupancy expenses, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $103,000 in legal, audit, and other professional fees.
Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 grew by $1.9 million, to $10.0 million, compared to the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to increases of $1.7 million and $188,000 in salaries and employee benefits and net occupancy expenses, respectively, partially offset by a reduction of $170,000 in legal, audit, and other professional fees.
The increases in salaries and employee benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, was primarily due to the following factors:
36
The increase in net occupancy expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, was primarily due to a cost of approximately $110,000 related to a defalcation at one of the Company's branches.
The reduction in legal, audit, and other professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001, was primarily due to the $175,000 reversal in the first quarter of 2002 of a portion of an accrual originally taken during the fourth quarter of 2001 for estimated expenses relating to (i) obtaining a favorable ruling on an IRS income tax refund claim, and (ii) settling a legal claim brought against the Bank.

Total assets grew by $16.0 million, to $560.8 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to increases of $26.3 million and $2.5 million in investment securities and other assets, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $12.3 million in cash and cash equivalents.
The $26.3 million increase in investment securities, to $85.2 million, was principally due to mortgage-backed securities purchases of $25.5 million in March of 2002 and $22.2 million in late July
38
and August of 2002. Partially offsetting this increase were principal payments on mortgage-backed securities totaling $21.9 million.
The $12.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, to $6.4 million, was principally due to the redemption of securities purchased under resale agreements to fund purchases of mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities and proceeds received from FHLB advances.
Net loans declined slightly by $417,000, to $453.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to $76.8 million of loan payoffs and principal payments and $6.4 million of SBA loan sales, partially offset by $78.3 million of loan originations and $4.9 million of loan purchases. The significant amount of loan payoffs was due to a high level of refinance activity attributable to a lower interest rate environment.
On a gross loan by category basis, commercial real estate loans and other loans decreased by $11.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, offset by a $12.0 million growth in SBA loans. The decline in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to $73.7 million of loan payoffs and principal payments, partially offset by $57.2 million of loan originations and $4.9 million of loan purchases. The increase in SBA loans was primarily due to $21.1 million of loan originations, partially offset by $6.4 million in loan sales and $2.7 million of loan payoffs and principal payments.
Total liabilities grew by $11.1 million, to $517.9 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase of $71.0 million in FHLB advances, partially offset by reductions of $29.3 million and $30.0 million in certificates of deposit and term borrowings, respectively. The additional FHLB advances consisted of (i) $21.0 million of short-term, variable rate advances, with an interest rate of 2.01% at September 30, 2002, which the Company started using in April of 2002, and (ii) $50.0 million of long-term, fixed rate advances, which were obtained in late July and August of 2002, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.66% and maturities ranging from 1.5 years to 3.0 years.
The lower rate FHLB advances were principally used to (i) replace maturing higher rate certificates of deposit, (ii) payoff $30.0 million in maturing term borrowings, bearing a higher weighted average interest rate of 6.63%, and (iii) purchase mortgage-backed securities.
Shareholders' equity increased by $4.9 million, to $42.9 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Changes in shareholders' equity were due to the following factors:

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses increased by $637,000, to $8.6 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, due to $425,000 in provision for loan losses and $212,000 in net recoveries. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.86% at September 30, 2002, as compared to 1.72% at December 31, 2001.
The overall economic factors and conditions affecting the Company's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002, are consistent with the various factors that the Company has experienced over the last 15 to 24 months. While the economy declined during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, the economy recorded growth during the first three quarters of 2002. However, the economy has continued to show signs of weakness within specific segments and industries, such as telecommunications and manufacturing.
The Company's management considered the following recent loan loss and credit experience in evaluating the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2002:
In addition to recent loan loss and credit experience, management considers historical loan loss experience as well as changes within the loan portfolio in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Changes in the loan portfolio include (i) the growth in SBA lending, (ii) changes in geographic concentration, (iii) changes in the collateral mix of the loan portfolio, and (iv) the debt service ability of borrowers. In addition, management attempts to factor in the changes that relate to the economy in specific cities or locations. Most of these factors (geographic concentration, collateral concentration, debt service coverage of borrowers, and current vacancy rates) are favorable to the Company's current loan portfolio as compared to the loan portfolio of the 1991 - 1994 economic period. Management believes that the ability to predict the direction of the current U.S. economy is difficult given the continued risk of possible terrorism, the continued negative impact of declines in corporate earnings and the stock market, and the loss of consumer confidence. Management feels that the economy may only experience slow to modest growth during the remainder of 2002 and possibly into 2003. In considering all of the above factors, management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2002 is adequate.
Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Company changed its non-accrual loan policy to place loans on non-accrual status starting at 90 days past due, rather than at 61 days past due. However, the Company may place a loan on non-accrual status sooner if management determines that the collectibility of principal or interest is unlikely prior to the loan becoming 90 days past due. This change was made in order to be consistent with general banking industry practice.
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and payments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled principal amortization on loans are a reasonably predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. As a measure of protection against these uncertainties, the Company maintains borrowing relationships with several brokers, whereby the Company is able to borrow funds that are secured by pledging specific amounts of certain U.S. government sponsored agency securities. The Company is generally able to borrow up to 98% of the market value of these securities. As of September 30, 2002, the market values of U.S. government sponsored agency securities that were available for collateral purposes totaled $65.6 million.
41
The Bank also has a fixed rate borrowing facility with the State of California Treasurer's Office under which the Bank can borrow an amount not to exceed its unconsolidated total shareholder's equity. Borrowing maturity dates under this program cannot exceed one year. The State of California requires collateral with a value of at least 110% of the outstanding borrowing amount. The Bank has pledged specific amounts of certain U.S. government sponsored agency securities to meet the collateral requirement under this borrowing facility. As of September 30, 2002, the Bank's unconsolidated total shareholder's equity was $55.7 million and the Bank had no outstanding borrowings from the State of California.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Bank became a member of the FHLB, which serves as a source of both fixed rate and adjustable rate borrowings, with maturities ranging from one day to 30 years. Under the FHLB's borrowing program, the Bank is able to borrow an FHLB-approved percentage of the Bank's unconsolidated total assets. All FHLB advances must be secured by eligible collateral, subject to FHLB guidelines and limitations. Such collateral may consist of either commercial real estate loans, multi-family residential loans, or U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, or a combination thereof. For pledged commercial real estate loans, the FHLB will lend up to 55% on an individual loan basis and up to 20% of the Bank's unconsolidated total assets on an aggregate basis. For multi-family residential loans, the FHLB will lend up to 80% on an individual basis. For mortgage-backed securities, the FHLB will lend up to 97% of the market value.
As of September 30, 2002, the Bank's FHLB credit line totaled $193.0 million, based on 35% of its unconsolidated total assets of $551.3 million. However, total commercial real estate and multi-family residential loan secured advances were limited to $129.8 million at September 30, 2002, primarily due to the 20% of assets aggregate limitation on commercial real estate loans. The Bank had $111.0 million of outstanding advances as of September 30, 2002.
As a Delaware corporation, Pacific Crest may pay common dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, from net profits for the current and preceding fiscal year. Pacific Crest, on an unconsolidated basis, had approximately $3.3 million in cash and investments less current liabilities and short-term debt at September 30, 2002. However, these funds are necessary to pay future operating expenses of Pacific Crest, service all outstanding debt, including the $17.25 million junior subordinated debentures payable to PCC Capital, and fund possible future capital infusions into the Bank. Without dividends from the Bank, Pacific Crest must rely solely on existing cash, investments, and the ability to secure borrowings.
The Bank's ability to pay dividends to Pacific Crest is restricted by California state law, which requires that sufficient retained earnings be available to pay the dividend. On September 13, 2002, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $800,000 to Pacific Crest for the third quarter of 2002. During the first six months of 2002, the Bank declared and paid cash dividends of $1.6 million to Pacific Crest. At September 30, 2002, the Bank had retained earnings of $25.1 million available for future dividend payments.
On October 17, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per common share on a post-split basis for the fourth quarter of 2002. The dividend will be paid on December 13, 2002, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 29, 2002.
On July 26, 2002, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share on a pre-split basis, or $0.05 on a post-split basis, for the third quarter of 2002. The dividend was paid on September 13, 2002 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2002. During the first six months of 2002, the Company declared and paid cash
42
dividends of $0.08 per common share on a post-split basis. The total amount of cash dividends paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $632,000.
The Company's objective is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset growth, provide for anticipated credit risks, and ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards are met. Pacific Crest and the Bank are subject to certain minimum capital adequacy and minimum well capitalized category guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. These guidelines relate primarily to the leverage ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the total risk-based capital ratio. The minimum well capitalized required ratios are 5.00% leverage, 6.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 10.00% total risk-based capital. The minimum capital adequacy required ratios are 4.00% leverage, 4.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital, and 8.00% total risk-based capital. At September 30, 2002, Pacific Crest and the Bank were in compliance with all such capital requirements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time to maximize income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability committee. Tools used by management include an interest rate shock analysis and, to a lesser extent, the standard GAP report, which measures the estimated difference between the amount of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities anticipated to mature or reprice during future periods, based on certain assumptions. In general, the GAP report presents the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in a particular period based on either the date that they first reprice, for variable rate products, or the maturity date, for fixed rate products. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes and is not currently engaged in transactions involving derivative financial instruments. Management believes that the Company's market risk is reasonable at this time.

The one-year GAP increased by $102.2 million during the first nine months of 2002, principally due to an increase in one-year assets of $11.8 million and a decrease in one-year liabilities of $90.4 million.
The growth in one-year assets was primarily due to a $25.1 million increase in the one-year loan category, partially offset by a $13.0 million decline in securities purchased under resale agreements. The increase in one-year loans was principally due to loans that moved into the one-year category from longer term categories because they were initially fixed rate for a period of one to five years and have now converted to the adjustable rate period of their terms. Additionally, the Company's loan originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily consisted of adjustable rate loans.
The $13.0 million decrease in short-term securities purchased under resale agreements was principally attributable to the redemption of such securities to purchase long-term, fixed rate mortgage-backed securities. This factor was partially offset by the investment into these short-term securities of cash proceeds received from principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.
The decline in one-year liabilities was primarily due to decreases of $79.0 million and $30.0 million in one-year certificates of deposit and term borrowings, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $21.0 million in short-term, adjustable rate FHLB advances.
The Company has assumed, for purposes of the GAP table below, that its checking and savings accounts reprice immediately.
In October of 2002, the Company obtained a $30.0 million fixed rate FHLB advance with an interest rate of 3.06% and a maturity of 3.0 years. This advance replaced the following items which were included in the "Within 6 months" category on the GAP table at September 30, 2002: (i) $21.0 million of short-term, variable rate FHLB advances, and (ii) $10.0 million of term borrowings that matured in October of 2002.
While the Company's one-year GAP at September 30, 2002 indicates that interest-sensitive assets exceed interest-sensitive liabilities, GAP analysis is an imprecise measure of the impact of rising or falling interest rates because variable rate assets and liabilities are tied to different interest rate indices and/or are affected by different market forces. Additionally, the Company has certain variable rate loans included in the under one-year asset categories which are at their contractual interest rate floors, and therefore will not immediately adjust after an interest rate increase. The Company is attempting to mitigate the effect on net interest income of this loan floor issue by extending the maturities of its interest-sensitive liabilities beyond one year wherever practical. Such efforts primarily involve the replacement of maturing certificates of deposit and term borrowings with fixed rate FHLB advances and certificates of deposit, which generally have terms of 12 to 36 months.
