SUN BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1 — Basis of Interim Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sun Bancorp, Inc. (“Sun”), the parent company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: SunBank, Mid-Penn Insurance Associates, Inc., Sentry Trust Company, SUBI Investment Company, Beacon Life Insurance Company, and Sun Bancorp Statutory Trust I.  Sun also holds thirty percent ownership in Sun Abstract and Settlement Services.  The transactions of Beacon Life Insurance Company and Sun Abstract and Settlement Services are not material to the consolidated financial statements.  The parent and subsidiaries are reported as one unit within the financial statements.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are the same as those followed on an annual basis.  These policies are presented on pages 18 through 21 of the 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Note 2 – Stock Options

 

Sun has three common stock plans for employees and directors.  The 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, administered by a Board of Directors committee of independent directors, allows for 716,625 shares of common stock to be issued for key officers and other management employees in the form of qualified options, non qualified options, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock.  The 1998 Independent Directors Stock Option Plan allows 115,763 shares of common stock to be issued for non-employee directors.  Options under those plans expire ten years after the grant date.  Both of these plans terminate in 2008.

 

The 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which permits all employees to purchase common stock at a price per share not less than 85% of the market value on the exercise date was allocated 248,063 shares.  Options granted to date have been awarded at 90% of the market value on the exercise date.  Each option under the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan expires no later than five years from the grant date.  This plan terminates in 2008.

 

Sun applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion Number 25 and related interpretations to account for its common stock plans.  Accordingly, Sun does not recognize compensation expense under these plans when the options are granted.  Had compensation expense been determined based on fair values at the grant dates (pursuant to SFAS 123), Sun’s net income and basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 would have been:

Note 3 – Investment Securities

 

SunBank holds one bond within other corporate obligations that has experienced a 10% unrealized loss at March 31, 2004 and a 12% unrealized loss at December 31, 2003.  The amortized cost of the bond was $223 and $236 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.  Management believes this loss is temporary, due to the continued AAA rating of the bond and the continued receipt of principal and interest payments.  There are no other investments with an unrealized loss greater than one year as of March 31, 2004.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, were as follows:

Note 5 – Net Income Per Share

 

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding for each period presented.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” requires presentation of two amounts, basic and diluted net income per share.  Basic earnings per share calculates net income divided by the average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share calculates net income divided by the sum of the average number of shares outstanding and the number of shares of common stock which would be issued, assuming the exercise of stock options during each period using the treasury method.

 

The following data shows the amounts used in computing net income per share and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive stock options for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

Note 9 – Employee Benefit Plans

 

Sun provides a defined contribution pension plan that covers substantially all employees.  Sun’s contributions are based on employee contribution and compensation.  The contributions are accrued and funded to the employee’s account once a year with the employee’s accounts once a year with a employee maintaining control over the allocation of the funds between stock and bonds.

 

In addition tot he defined contribution plan, Sun also has a defined benefit plan, which provides supplemental payments to certain key employees upon retirement.  The supplemental payment expense included interest of $1 for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  With the Guaranty acquisition in 2001 and the Steclton acquisition in 2003, Sun will also provide supplemental payments to certain former directors.  Life insurance contracts are being used to fund this supplemental payment to the former directors.  Expenses related to these plans and the carrying value of the defined plan for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were:

Note 10 – Off –Balance Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, Sun is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit containing, in varying degrees, credit and interest rate risk exceeding the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  There were no material loss contingencies at March 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003.

 

Credit risk from nonperformance by counterparties to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Sun uses the same credit policies to guide commitments and conditional obligations as it does for direct, funded loans.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as no contract conditions are violated. Commitments generally include fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and certain fee payments. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The collateral amount obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral types vary but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments that guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support borrowing arrangements and related transactions. Terms vary from one month to 24 months and may have renewal features.   Credit risk differs little from direct loans to customers.  When warranted, Sun holds collateral against those commitments.  Sun recognizes a liability for financial guarantees at the inception of the contract.  This liability is equivalent to the premium received and is amortized over the life of the guarantee.

 

The following represents outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

Note 11 – Hedging Activities

 

Sun maintains an overall interest rate risk-management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Sun’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain balance sheet liabilities so that movements in interest rates do not, on a material basis, adversely affect the fair values of these liabilities. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, hedged fixed-rate liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in market value. The effect of this unrealized appreciation or depreciation is expected to be substantially offset by Sun’s gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged liabilities. Another result of interest rate fluctuations is that the interest expense of hedged variable-rate liabilities will increase or decrease. The effect of this variability in earnings is expected to be substantially offset by Sun’s derivative instruments that are linked to these hedged liabilities. Sun considers its strategic use of derivatives to be a prudent method of managing interest-rate sensitivity, as it reduces the exposure to earnings from undue risk posed by changes in interest rates.

 

Sun uses interest rate swaps as part of the interest rate risk-management strategy. These interest rate swaps have indices related to the pricing of specific balance sheet liabilities. As a matter of policy, Sun does not use highly leveraged derivative instruments for interest rate risk management. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable-rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. The derivative instruments entered into by Sun gives Sun the right to enter into additional interest rate swaps with the writer of the option in the event that the liabilities are repriced by the issuer.

 

By using derivative instruments, Sun exposes itself to credit and market risk. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, Sun’s credit risk will equal the fair value gain in a derivative. Generally, when the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, this indicates that the counterparty owes Sun, thus creating a credit risk for Sun. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, Sun owes the counterparty and, therefore, assumes no credit risk. Sun minimizes the credit (or repayment) risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically by Sun’s Asset/Liability Committee.

 

Market risk is the adverse effect that a change in interest rates, currency, or implied volatility might have on the value of a financial instrument. Sun manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits for the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. Sun’s derivative activities are monitored by its Asset/Liability Committee as part of that committee’s oversight of Sun’s asset/liability position. The Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for approving hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data derived from financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into Sun’s overall interest rate risk-management strategy.

 

As of March 31, 2004, Sun has used four pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps with a $100,000 total notional amount to hedge changes in the fair value of certain Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) long-term borrowings. The swaps also contain an embedded option to enter into an interest rate swap with opposite terms in the event the FHLB long-term borrowings convert to a

 

18



 

variable rate. This occurrence would effectively fix the rate being paid on the borrowings at approximately the original coupon and would reduce the net interest volatility caused in a rising interest rate environment. Sun includes all components of each derivative gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Sun recognizes the change in fair value of the hedge and associated borrowings through the income statement within other income. The cost of the swaption is embedded within the rate of its host, the fixed to variable swap. The cost of the swaption will increase interest expense. Premiums/discounts are reflected in the rates received/paid and thus reflected in interest expense. Because this swaption is a fair value hedge, Sun reports changes in the fair value of the swaption in other income/other expense during the applicable period. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, there was a change in value recognized in the hedge and associated long-term FHLB borrowings of $2,816 to $2,340 at March 31, 2004 from $5,156 at December 31, 2003 due to the change in interest rates. Sun also recognized a reduction of $372 in interest expense on long-term FHLB borrowings as a result of the hedge transaction during the three months ended March 31, 2004.  Sun had no hedge transactions outstanding as of March 31, 2003.  A summary of Sun’s fair value hedges at March 31, 2004 follows:

Note 12 – Acquisitions

 

During February 2004 Sun completed the acquisition of Sentry Trust Company.  Sentry provides Sun an entry into south central Pennsylvania, while further diversifying Sun’s revenue stream.  As of March 31, 2004, Sentry had approximately $460,162 in assets under management.  Based on the guidance provided by FASB 141, Business Combinations, management believes that this transaction did not have a material effect on consolidated financial results and, therefore, does not require pro-forma presentation at this time.

Note 13 – Subsequent Event

 

On April 20, 2004, Sun announced that a definitive merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Sun and Omega Financial Corporation (Omega).  The agreement provides that Sun be merged with and into Omega (which would survive the merger as the surviving corporation).  Pursuant to this agreement, each share of Sun common stock would be converted into either ..664 shares of Omega common stock or cash in the amount of $23.25.  Holders of Sun common stock will be entitled to elect their preference, subject to prorata allocation, such that 20% of the total deal consideration will be paid in cash, and 80% will be paid in the form of Omega common stock. The transaction is anticipated to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Item 2.             Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Forward Looking Statements (FLSs)

 

In addition to historical information, this report and the reports and documents incorporated by reference in this report contain statements relating to future events and Sun’s future results. These statements are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to projections of future results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or other financial items, discussions of estimated future revenue enhancements and cost savings, and potential exposure to various types of market risk, including interest rate risk and credit risk.  These statements may also relate to Sun’s business strategy, goals and expectations concerning its market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Generally, words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, “should”, “will” and similar terms and phrases are used to identify forward-looking statements in this report and in the documents incorporated in this report by reference.   These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report.

 

Readers should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in the documents incorporated by reference in this report, could affect the future financial results of Sun and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. These factors include:

 

                                          operating, legal and regulatory risks;

                                          economic, political and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset management and credit services businesses; and

                                          the risk that management’s analysis of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.

 

Sun undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that Sun files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources, and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for Sun, a financial holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SunBank, Mid-Penn Insurance Associates, Inc., Sentry Trust Company, Beacon Life Insurance Company, SUBI Investment Company, and Sun Bancorp Statutory Trust I.  Sun Bancorp, Inc. also holds thirty percent ownership in Sun Abstract and Settlement Services.  Sun Bancorp, Inc.’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of SunBank’s financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with Sun’s 2003 Annual Report. Current performance does not guarantee or assure similar performance in the future, and may not be indicative of future results.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003

 

Sun’s earnings of $1,509 or $0.21 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $525 or $0.07 per share basic and diluted lower than the three months ended March 31, 2003.  Excluding security gains, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 would have increased $390 or $0.05 per share basic from the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

 The earnings resulted in annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of 0.59% compared to 0.84% for the same period in 2003.  Annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was 6.87% compared to 9.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

Comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is impacted by the acquisitions of Mid-Penn Insurance Associates, Inc. in April 2003, Steelton Bancorp in April 2003, and Sentry Trust Company in February 2004.

 

Net interest income increased 9.8% to $6,089 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $5,548 for the same period of 2003.  Total interest and dividend income decreased $505 to $11,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  Interest and fees on loans and leases remained relatively flat with a 2.0% increase to $9,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period of 2003 despite net loan and lease growth of $63,250 since March 31, 2003.  The limited growth in interest and fees on loans reflects the impact of significant loan prepayments with higher coupons and the scheduled principal payments.  Interest and dividends on available for sale securities decreased $663 or 25.1% to $1,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due in part to accelerated amortization of premiums on asset backed securities caused by prepayments on the underlying assets and lower outstanding balances.   In addition, many of the higher coupon bonds in Sun’s investment portfolio that were realizing accelerated prepayments and that had a shortened average life of less than one year were sold during 2003 and the proceeds were reinvested to distribute cash flows evenly over the next three years.   Interest on deposits in banks decreased $39 or 75.0% to $13 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily due to decreased interest rates. Total interest expense decreased 15.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to the same period of 2003.  This overall decrease corresponds to a general decline in market rates and the maturity of certificates of deposits, which were written during a period of higher interest rates.  Interest on deposits decreased 24.9%, or $780 primarily due to lowered offered rates for the three months ended March 31, 2004 in comparison to rates offered during the three months ended March 31, 2003.  The decrease in aggregate interest expense outpaced the decrease in interest income.   Other borrowed funds that carried a weighted average cost of 4.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 5.69% for 2003 limited the decrease in aggregate interest expense.  To alleviate the impact of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) term borrowings, the Bank entered into $100,000 total notional value interest rate swap agreements in June of 2003.

 

Non-interest income, excluding security gains, increased $1,092 or 45.6% to $3,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the corresponding period of 2003.  Increased service

charges on deposits accounted for $194 of the increase.  The increase in service charges was primarily the result of improved performance related to SunBank’s overdraft honor program, which provides overdraft protection.  This increase was also attributable to service fees on accounts obtained through the April 2003 acquisition of Steelton Bancorp.  Income from Sun’s insurance subsidiary increased $638 primarily resulting from the acquisition of Mid-Penn Insurance in April 2003.  The acquisition of Sentry Trust Company and Sun’s focus on increasing fee income resulted in growth of $113 in trust income and $141 in investment product sales. Other income increased $275 with the increase resulting from Sun entering into operating lease agreements with its customers.  The rental income generated from these leases is reported as other income.  Gains on the sale of loans decreased $227 to $34 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as the three months ended March 31, 2003 included a gain of $160 related to a sale of a pool of SBA loans.  Sun recognized security gains of $109 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $1,496 for the corresponding period of 2003 as Sun continued to restructure the investment portfolio composition.

 

Non-interest expenses increased $956 or 14.6% to $7,519 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period of 2003.  All categories of non-interest expense have been impacted by the acquisitions of Mid-Penn Insurance Associates, Inc. and Steelton Bancorp in April 2003 and Sentry Trust Company during 2004.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $327 or 10.3% due to the acquisitions and increased employee benefit costs.  Net occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expenses increased $98 or 11.3% due to acquisitions and, to a lesser extent, infrastructure improvements.  Other expenses increased 16.7% or $423 due to increases in normal business expenses, acquisitions, and depreciation related to operating leases.  The depreciation related to the operating leases accounted for $287 or 67.8% of the increase in other expenses.  Amortization of intangibles increased $108 due to the amortization of customer relationship intangibles from the Mid Penn Insurance and Sentry acquisitions and the amortization of core deposit intangibles from the Steelton and Mellon branch acquisition.  Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding intangibles.

 

Balance Sheet – March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003

 

Total assets remained relatively constant at $1,037,218 at March 31, 2004, an increase of $8,965 from $1,028,253 at December 31, 2003.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4,123, or 14.5% from $28,421 at December 31, 2003 as cash was utilized as a component of the consideration paid for Sentry Trust Company (cash $6,674, stock $9,291).  The investment portfolio decreased $9,221 or 4.1%, as cash flows from the portfolio were used to reduce short-term borrowing levels and also to provide cash for the Sentry acquisition.  The growth in net loans outstanding of $3,568 occurred primarily in the auto and equipment lease categories.  The allowance for loan and lease losses increased $681 and is discussed in greater detail in the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.  The increases in fixed assets, intangibles, and other assets are the result of the previously mentioned acquisitions.

 

23



 

Total liabilities remained relatively constant at $947,679 at March 31, 2004 compared to $949,071 at December 31, 2003.  Total deposits increased $33,055 to $647,605, with core deposits (non-time deposits) contributing $10,900 to the increase.  Since December 31, 2003, savings and money market accounts have increased $2,162 and $12,011 respectively, while NOW accounts have decreased $3,427.  The increase in money market accounts is the result of a deposit gathering campaign that places particular emphasis on money market accounts.  Time deposit increased $22,155 from December 31, 2003 as Sun has placed emphasis on gathering time deposit with a maturity greater than two years.  Since December 31, 2003, non-interest-bearing deposits have remained stable at $69,794.  Short-term borrowings decreased $38,600 from December 31, 2003, due to the payoff of short-term FHLB borrowings.  The funds used to payoff the short-term borrowings were from the increase in deposits and a reduction of investment securities available for sale.

 

Sun’s total shareholders’ equity increased $10,357 from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004.  The increase is the result of several factors.  First, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $950 to $979 at March 31, 2004 due to an increase in the market value of Sun’s investment portfolio. Second, while net income of $1,509 increased shareholders’ equity, the increase was offset by the payment of $1,394 in dividends to shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The final cause of the increase was the acquisition of Sentry Trust Company.  The acquisition resulted in an increase of $9,291 as Sun issued approximately a half million shares in total from authorized, non-issued, and treasury as a component of the purchase price.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

Sun maintains an Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) in an effort to provide for losses inherent in its loan and lease portfolio. Loan and lease losses are charged against the ALLL in the period in which they have been determined uncollectible. Recoveries of previously charged-off loans and leases are credited to the ALLL when received. Management believes the ALLL is adequate as of March 31, 2004.

 

Sun’s methodology for calculating its ALLL consists of three components:

  specific allocations for loans evaluated by management and deemed to have an increased level of inherent risks;

 

  a general allocation, which varies for each type of homogenous loan pool within the portfolio; and qualitative factors which are discussed below.

 

Specific reserves are established for loans of all types that management deems to be risk-rated as Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) or lower. The allocation based on specific risk-rated credits is calculated by applying a risk factor (from 3% to 100%) against the loan based on the severity of risk-rating.  All loans are risk-rated; however, consumer loans and residential mortgages generally receive a favorable rating unless and until a history of delinquency becomes evident. Commercial loans are continuously reviewed and a specific reserve is allocated once a loan has fallen to OAEM or lower status.

 

Loans of all types, for which there are no specific reserves, are evaluated as a homogeneous group based on common characteristics. Management determines the general allocation by applying Sun’s charge-off rate for each loan group based on the experience of the previous five complete years and the current partial year.

 

Sun’s assessment of the ALLL also considers additional qualitative factors reflective of economic conditions, management’s lending policies, the nature and volume of loan portfolio changes, credit management, credit review, risk profile, classified assets, historic collection and charge-off practices, portfolio concentrations, and external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements.

 

Sun’s loan review and underwriting process includes risk-based pricing in the loan structuring process.  Sun also utilizes a loan quality committee, comprised of members of senior management and representatives of the Board of Directors, that meets monthly overseeing overall credit quality.

 

Management continued to closely monitor credit quality during the first quarter of 2004. The ALLL, as a percentage of total loans and leases, increased to 1.23% at March 31, 2004 from 1.14% of total loans at December 31, 2003. The increase was due to the changing mix of loans within the portfolio and an increase in specific reserve for several watch list loans.  A significant improvement in net charge-offs compared to prior periods limited the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.  Changes in the composition of the loan and lease portfolio affected the allocation within

 

25



 

ALLL. Most notably, commercial and industrial loans and real estate collateralized commercial loans, included within the real estate category, have become an increasing percentage of the overall loan portfolio as Sun has been selling new residential mortgages on the secondary market within seven days of closing. Accordingly, because commercial and industrial loans and real estate collateralized commercial loans are generally associated with a higher element of risk compared to residential mortgages, a higher percentage of the ALLL is directed toward commercial and industrial loans. Moreover, increases in auto leases have required a higher general allocation in the ALLL because of the historically higher industry wide loss rates on this type asset.

 

Sun’s ALLL reflects periodic provisions for loan and lease losses determined through the application of Sun’s ALLL methodology discussed above. The provision for loan and lease losses is the expense necessary to maintain the ALLL at a level adequate to encompass management’s best estimate of possible losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management increased the provision for loan and lease losses to $435 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $405 in 2003. The provision was increased in 2004 based on a larger loan portfolio, in part due to a merger with Steelton Bancorp during 2003, due to the changing mix of loans within the portfolio as discussed above, and several watch list loans requiring an increase specific reserve.

 

Determining the level of the ALLL at any given period is difficult, particularly during deteriorating or uncertain economic periods. Management must make estimates using information and assumptions that are often subjective and rapidly changing. Management continues to review the loan and lease portfolios in light of a changing economy and the dynamics of the banking and regulatory environment.

 

Management cannot precisely quantify that amount due to many uncertainties, including future global, national, and local economic conditions and other factors. As a result, unforeseen developments may require management to increase the ALLL. Such developments could include changing economic conditions or negative developments with borrowers. In addition, bank regulators periodically assess Sun’s ALLL and may, consistent with examination guidelines and current information, require an increased ALLL. As a result, any number of factors may materially change management’s analysis in the future.

Deposits

 

Sun’s total deposits increased $33,055 or 5.4%, to $647,605 at March 31, 2004, compared to $614,550, at December 31, 2003.  This increase is the result of Sun’s focus on growing low cost core deposits (all deposits excluding time deposits) and building relationships with local municipalities, colleges, and businesses.  The focus on obtaining core deposits resulted in a core deposit increase of 3.2% or $10,900, to $350,220 at March 31, 2004, compared to $339,320, at December 31, 2003.  As part of this process, Sun began a marketing and pricing program to attract money market accounts during the first quarter of 2004.  The result was a $12,011 or 53.5% increase in money market accounts since December 31, 2003.  Sun also initiated a time deposit gathering campaign that places emphasis on attracting time deposits, which have a maturity greater than two years. The net result of this campaign was $22,155 or 8.0% increase during the first quarter of 2004.  Over the same time period, demand deposit, savings, and NOW accounts have remained constant with each category having less than a 3% balance fluctuation.

Other Funding

 

Sun continued using borrowed funds to supplement deposits during 2004 and 2003.  At March 31, 2004, Sun had $259,766 in long term debt funding.  This funding consisted primarily of $229,000 in variable rate FHLB borrowings with maturities between 2005 and 2013.  Sun also had $11,900 in long-term repurchase agreements at March 31, 2004.  In addition, Sun had $18,866 in long term subordinated debentures, at March 31, 2004, that consisted of $16,500 in trust preferred securities with a maturity of February 22, 2031 and an initial call of February 22, 2011.  The issuer of these securities, Sun Bancorp Statutory Trust I, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company and as such, Sun Bancorp fully and unconditionally guarantees these securities.  The remaining $2,366 was the result of a note issued for the purchase of Guaranty Bank, N.A., during 2001 and carries a rate of 6% and matures in 2006.

 

Other funding sources for short-term money include deposit customers’ cash management accounts (classified as securities sold under agreements to repurchase), Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option, repurchase agreements, and FHLB overnight borrowings.  At March 31, 2004, Sun’s short-term borrowings consisted primarily of cash management accounts in the amount of $21,763.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

 

Net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense, is the largest component of Sun’s earnings.  Net interest margin (NIM) measures the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the aggregate funding cost.  NIM is calculated as taxable equivalent net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.

 

Sun’s NIM increased by 7 basis points to 2.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to 2.78%, for the same period of 2003.  The increase is primarily the result of two actions.  The first action was the entering into four swap contracts on June 30, 2003, involving the FHLB advances.  The second action centered around Sun’s evaluation of the rates being paid on deposit accounts.  These actions countered a continued decline in yield of the loan and investment portfolios, which declined due to prepayments and scheduled payments of higher coupon paper.  As rates continued to decline throughout 2003, these payments have been reinvested in lower yielding loans and investments.

 

The previously mentioned swaps were entered into to partially remediate the volatility in net interest income in an up or down interest rate environment.  The contracts, which involve the FHLB advances, increased net interest income by $372 (NIM by 16 basis points) for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.  Embedded in each swap is an option to reverse the original swap (receive fixed-pay variable), at any time, to pay fixed-receive variable if the FHLB notifies the Bank that it is going to exercise the option to increase the Bank’s interest rate on the debt.  Thus, in a rising rate environment the Bank has locked in a fixed rate.  Despite being able to lock in a fixed rate, an upward movement in the 90-day LIBOR rate will reduce the positive NIM impact of the swap and will cause a negative NIM impact during the period that 90-day LIBOR is above 2.65% and the point at which the FHLB would reprice the debt.  Readers are encouraged to refer to Note 11 for further information on Sun’s hedging activities.

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income, excluding security gains, increased $1,092 or 45.6% to $3,486, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period of 2003.  Increased service charges on deposits accounted for $194 of the increase.  Improved performance related to Sun’s overdraft honor program, which provides overdraft protection, was the main source of the growth.  The increase was also attributable to increased service fees from deposit accounts resulting from the April 2003 Steelton Bancorp acquisition.  In addition, income from insurance fees increased $638 primarily as the result of Sun’s acquisition of Mid-Penn Insurance in April 2003.  Income from investment product sales and trust income increased $141 and $113, respectively due in part to the acquisition of Sentry Trust Company during the first quarter of 2004 and a focus on increasing fee income.  Other income increased $275 principally due to rental income from operating leases.  Gains on sales of loans decreased $227 as the three months ended March 31, 2003 included $160 from the sale of a pool of SBA loans.  Net security gains decreased $1,387, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.  During the first quarter of 2003, Sun realigned its portfolio to better serve its needs in the current interest rate environment resulting in significant gains on sales during that period.

Non-interest Expenses

 

Non-interest expenses increased $956 or 14.6% to $7,519, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period of 2003.  The acquisitions of Mid-Penn Insurance, Steelton Bancorp, and Sentry significantly impacted all categories of non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 2003.  In the aggregate, MPI and Sentry represented $593 or 62.0% of the total increase.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $327 or 10.3%, primarily due to the acquisitions and increased employee benefit costs.  Net occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expenses increased $98 or 11.3% due to the acquisitions and certain infrastructure improvements.  Other expenses increased $423 or 16.7% due to increases in normal business expenses, acquisitions, and depreciation expense related to Sun’s auto lease program.  Intangible amortization of $108 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is the result of the creation of customer relationship intangibles and core deposit intangibles related to the acquisitions (Refer to Note 7 for additional information).

Capital Adequacy

 

Sun Bancorp and SunBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could prompt regulatory action that, if undertaken, might materially affect Sun’s financial statements.  Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, Sun Bancorp and SunBank must meet specific capital requirements involving quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items (calculated using regulatory accounting practices).  All related factors are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of March 31, 2004, that Sun Bancorp and the SunBank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

     Sun is currently, and has been in the past, designated as a well-capitalized institution.  Shareholders’ equity increased $10,357 to $89,539, at March 31, 2004, from $79,182, at December 31, 2003.  This increase is attributable to the acquisition of Sentry Trust Company which resulted in an increase of $9,291 as Sun issued approximately a half million shares from treasury and authorized shares as a component of the purchase.

Liquidity

 

Management must ensure sufficient liquidity to meet current and future business needs, including customer cash withdrawals and loan fundings. In addition, management must maintain additional contingency liquidity sources to meet unexpected needs. Sun’s liquidity depends on its ability to acquire funds or convert assets to cash without material loss. Sun’s primary liquidity sources include regular principal and interest payments on loans and securities, short-term securities, and various borrowing sources. Supplemental liquidity sources include longer-term securities, lines of credit, and additional sources for new deposits. Notably, management does not consider cash and due from banks amounts to be liquidity sources. Those amounts are typically needed by banks for daily operations.

 

Management believes that Sun has adequate financial resources to meet its ongoing cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures, as well as its other financial obligations.

 

Regulatory and Industry Merger Activity

 

From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of Sun and SunBank.  It cannot be predicted whether such legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, how such legislation would affect the business of Sun.  As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, Sun’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal legislation and regulations that may increase the costs of doing business.  Future legislation, rules or regulations if implemented, could have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations. The general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, a negative impact on Sun’s results of operations.

 

Further, the business of Sun is also affected by the state of the financial services industry in general.  As a result of legal and industry changes, management expects the industry to continue to experience an increase in consolidation as the financial services industry strives for greater cost efficiencies and firms seek to gain market share.  Management also expects the financial services industry including Sun to increase diversification of financial products and services offered. Management believes that industry consolidation and product and service diversification present opportunities for Sun to enhance its competitive position.

 

On April 20, 2004, Sun announced that a definitive merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Sun and Omega Financial Corporation.  Please refer to Note 13 for further information on Sun’s merger with Omega Financial Corporation.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market Risk

 

For Sun, market risk results predominantly from interest rate risk and equity price risk. Although Sun’s market risks may change in the future, management currently focuses its risk management efforts on those two components.

 

Interest Rate Risk (IRR)

 

IRR represents the potential current or future earnings and capital volatility due to interest rate changes. Interest rate fluctuations affect earnings by changing net interest income and other interest-sensitive income and expense levels. Interest rate changes affect capital by altering banks’ economic value of equity (EVE). EVE represents the net present value of all asset, liability, and off-balance sheet cash flows. Interest rate fluctuations change the present values of those cash flows.

 

As financial intermediaries, banks cannot completely avoid IRR. However, excessive IRR can threaten earnings, capital, liquidity, and solvency. IRR has many components, including repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, option risk, and price risk. Sun’s primary, but not sole, IRR source is balance sheet optionality from residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. Those assets may prepay principal at changing speeds depending on interest rate levels and other factors beyond Sun’s control. When prepayments occur, management must reinvest those cash flows at current market rates (in loans or securities). Thus, future interest levels and paths may negatively (or positively) affect Sun’s net interest income.

 

Sun seeks to minimize net interest income volatility by carefully measuring, monitoring, and controlling IRR. Sun is implementing a comprehensive market risk management program to dramatically enhance management’s ability to measure, monitor, and control risk. Market risk can result in fluctuating net interest income due to interest rate and other economic changes. Using simulation models, Sun can measure market risk by forecasting net interest income volatility under various interest rate scenarios. However, these models depend on many significant assumptions that may not accurately reflect future conditions.

 

To minimize interest income volatility, on June 30, 2003 Sun entered into four pay-variable receive-fixed interest rate swaps ($100,000 notional total) to hedge changes in fair value of certain FHLB long-term borrowings (other borrowed funds).  The swaps also contain an embedded option to reverse the swap to pay-fixed receive-variable in the event that the FHLB long-term borrowings reprice and become variable rate.  The exercise of the option would effectively fix the rate Sun pays on the borrowings at approximately the original coupon and would reduce the net interest income volatility caused in an increasing interest rate environment.  Sun includes all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  Sun recognizes the change in fair value of the hedge and associated borrowings through the income statement.  There was a change in value recognized in the hedge and associated long-term FHLB borrowings of $2,816 to $2,340 at March 31, 2004 from $5,156 at December 31, 2003, due to the mark to market adjustment. The change in value of the FHLB borrowings is included within long-term borrowings, while the change in the swap value is included within accrued interest and other liabilities.   Sun also

recognized a reduction of $372 in interest expense on long-term FHLB borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of the hedge transaction.  A summary of Sun’s fair value hedges appears below:

Equity Securities Risk

 

Sun’s equity securities consist of marketable equities and restricted stock.  Marketable equities consist entirely of common stock of bank and financial holding companies.   Because Federal Home Loan Bank stock is redeemable at par, Sun carries it at cost and periodically evaluates the stock for impairment.  Possible impairment factors include potential dramatic changes to the housing and residential mortgage industry or the related regulatory environment.  Management currently does not believe any factors exist to suggest potential impairment.

 

Bank and financial holding company stocks are subject to general industry risks, including competition from non-bank entities, credit risk, interest rate risk, and other factors.  Individual stocks could suffer price decreases due to circumstances at specific banks.  In addition, Sun’s bank stock investments are concentrated in Pennsylvania entities, so these investments could decline in value if there were a downturn in the state’s economy.

Reference is also made to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk in Sun’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2003.

 

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

 

Management maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition.  An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Sun’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of Sun’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, Sun’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that Sun’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  No significant changes were made to Sun’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
