TRINITY CAPITAL CORPORATION &
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated balances and results of operations of Trinity Capital Corporation (Trinity or the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Los Alamos National Bank (the Bank) and Title Guaranty & Insurance Company (the Title Company), collectively referred to as the Company. Trinity Capital Trust I (Trust I) and Trinity Capital Trust II (Trust II and, together with Trust I, the Trusts), which are also wholly owned subsidiaries of Trinity, are not consolidated in these financial statements. The business activities of the Company consist solely of the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys December 31, 2003 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income, as well as the change in net unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale, net of tax. Comprehensive income was $2.5 million and $3.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The amendments (i) reflect decisions of the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG), (ii) reflect decisions made by the FASB in conjunction with other projects dealing with financial instruments and (iii) address implementation issues related to the application of the definition of a derivative. SFAS 149 also modifies various other existing pronouncements to conform with the changes made to SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provisions applied prospectively. Adoption of SFAS 149 on July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances. Such financial instruments include (i) financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; (ii) financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuers equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; (iii) financial instruments that embody an obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuers equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuers equity shares; and (iv) certain freestanding financial instruments. SFAS 150 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, on November 7, 2003, the FASB issued FSP FAS 150-3, Effective Date, Disclosures, and Transition for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests under FASB Statement No. 150. The effect of this FSP was to defer the effective date of SFAS 150 indefinitely.
In March, 2004 the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 105, Application of Accounting Principals to Loan Commitments. This SAB summarizes the views of the SEC regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principals to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments. Under this SAB, banks will no longer be able to record interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) as assets, but only record any liabilities resulting from these IRLCs. Currently, the Company follows industry practice in recording these IRLCs as assets or liabilities, depending on the net position the Company has on these IRLCs. As of April 1, 2004, the Company will adopt this SAB. Management believes that this will not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, was revised in December 2003. The provisions of this statement do not change the measurement and recognition provisions of previous statements, but adds disclosures about retirement plan assets, employer obligations, key assumptions in these measurements and the measurement date(s) used to determine pensions and other postretirement benefit measurements that make up at least the majority of plan assets and benefit obligations. These provisions are effective for annual and interim financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement as of January 1, 2004 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

The Company had Federal Home Loan Bank advances with maturity dates greater than one year of $65.6 million and $37.7 million as of March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. As of March 31, 2004, the advances have fixed interest rates ranging from 2.16% to 6.34%.

Note 6. Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to Unconsolidated Trusts
In March 2000 and November 2001, Trust I and Trust II, both Delaware statutory business trusts, issued $10 million and $6 million, respectively, of 10.875% and 9.95%, respectively, trust preferred securities (the trust preferred securities). These securities represent preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trusts. The trust preferred securities will mature on March 8, 2030 and December 8, 2031, respectively, and are redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time after March 8, 2010 and December 8, 2006, with the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and in whole at any time upon the occurrence of certain events affecting their tax or regulatory capital treatment. The Trusts also issued $310 thousand and $186 thousand of common equity securities to Trinity. The Trusts used the proceeds of the offering of the trust preferred securities to purchase $10.3 million and $6.2 million of 10.875% and 9.95% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the debentures) issued by the Company, which have terms substantially similar to the trust preferred securities. The Company has the right to defer payments of interest on the debentures at any time or from time to time for a period of up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods with respect to each interest payment deferred. Under the terms of the debentures, in the event that under certain circumstances there is an event of default under the debentures or the Company has elected to defer interest on the debentures, the Company may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its capital stock or purchase or acquire any of its capital stock. The Company used the majority of the proceeds from the sale of the debentures to support its growth.
Trinity owns all of the outstanding common stock of the Trusts. The Trusts are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (FIN) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, as revised. Prior to FIN 46, VIEs were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity. Under FIN 46, a VIE should be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The Company implemented FIN 46 during the fourth quarter of 2003. Because Trinity is not the primary beneficiary of the Trusts, the financial statements of the Trusts are no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Companys prior financial statements have been reclassified to de-consolidate the Companys investment in the Trusts.
The trust preferred securities are currently included in the Tier 1 capital of Trinity for regulatory capital purposes. However, because the Trusts are no longer a part of the Companys financial statements, the Federal Reserve Board may in the future disallow inclusion of the trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. In July 2003, the Federal Reserve Board issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary. The Federal Reserve Board intends to review the regulatory implications of the change in accounting treatment of subsidiary trusts that issue trust preferred securities and, if necessary or warranted, provide further appropriate guidance. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to permit institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes. As of March 31, 2004, assuming the Company was not permitted to include the $16 million in trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts in its Tier 1 capital, the Company would still exceed the regulatory required minimums for capital adequacy purposes. If the trust preferred securities were no longer permitted to be included in Tier 1 capital, the Company would also be permitted to redeem the capital securities without penalty.
Payments of distributions on the trust preferred securities and payments on redemption of the trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company on a limited basis. The Company also entered into an agreement as to expenses and liabilities with the Trusts pursuant to which it agreed, on a subordinated basis, to pay any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trusts other than those arising under the trust preferred securities. The obligations of the Company under the junior subordinated debentures, the related indenture, the trust agreement establishing the Trusts, the guarantee and the agreement as to expenses and liabilities, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trusts obligations under the trust preferred securities.
Issuance costs of $537 thousand related to the trust preferred securities were deferred and are being amortized over the period until mandatory redemption of the securities in March 2030 and December 2031, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, $4 thousand and $5 thousand of these issuance costs were amortized. Unamortized issuance costs were $476 thousand and $494 thousand at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Dividends accrued and unpaid to securities holders totaled $265 thousand on March 31, 2004 and 2003.

Note 7. Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Activities
Credit-related financial instruments: The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Companys exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

Mortgage loans sold with recourse are loans sold to outside investors, with the Company retaining servicing and responsibility for collection in the event of a default. For 2004 and 2003, no such defaults occurred or were expected to occur.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on managements credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not necessarily be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Companys potential obligations under these guarantees. The fair value of these commitments is approximately equal to the fees collected when granting these letters of credit. These fees collected were $20 thousand as of March 31, 2004, and are included in other liabilities on the Companys balance sheet.
Concentrations of credit risk: The majority of the loans, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in Los Alamos and surrounding communities. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its loans are made to businesses and individuals associated with, or employed by, Los Alamos National Laboratory (the Laboratory). The ability of such borrowers to honor their contracts is predominately dependent upon the continued operation and funding of the Laboratory. Investments in securities issued by states and political subdivisions involve governmental entities within the state of New Mexico. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
Contingencies: In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after consulting with counsel, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Pro Forma Impact of Stock-Based Compensation Plans
As allowed under SFAS No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
the Company measures stock-based compensation cost in accordance with the
methods prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
As stock options are granted at fair value, there are no charges to earnings
associated with stock options granted. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for grants made to date. Had compensation cost been
determined based on the fair value method prescribed in FASB Statement No. 123,
reported net income and earnings per common share would have been reduced to
the pro forma amounts shown below:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion is intended to focus on certain financial information regarding the Company and the Bank and is written to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of its financial statements. The following discussion and analysis of the Companys financial position and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and the annual audited consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of our management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, plan, intend, estimate, may, will, would, could, should or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following:
The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct our operations which may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of our assets.
The economic impact of any future terrorist threats or attacks, and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.
The effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, insurance and monetary and financial matters.
The effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of changes in the rate of prepayments of the Companys assets) and the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Our ability to compete with other financial institutions as effectively as we currently intend due to increases in competitive pressures in the financial services sector.
Our inability to obtain new customers and to retain existing customers.
The timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet.
Technological changes implemented by us and by other parties, including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to us and its customers.
Our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems.
Our ability to retain key executives and employees and the difficulty that we may experience in replacing key executives and employees in an effective manner.
Consumer spending and saving habits which may change in a manner that affects our business adversely.
Business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses which may be more difficult or expensive than expected.
The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.
10
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Our ability to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company and our business, including other factors that could materially affect our financial results, will be included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical Accounting Policies
Allowance for Loan Losses: Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. As such, selection and application of this critical accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the value of underlying collateral, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to make additions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available at the time of their examinations.
We maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. Three methods are used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses: (1) historical loss experience, based on loss experience by quality classification in the previous twelve calendar quarters; (2) specific identification, based upon managements assessment of loans and the probability that a charge off will occur in the upcoming quarter; and (3) loan concentrations, based on current or expected economic factors in the geographic and industry sectors where management believes we may eventually experience some loan losses.
Mortgage Servicing Right (MSR) Assets: Servicing residential mortgage loans for third-party investors represents a significant business activity of the Bank. As of March 31, 2004, mortgage loans serviced for others totaled $887.1 million. The MSRs on these loans totaled $7.4 million as of March 31, 2004. The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the value of MSRs. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. In determining the fair value of the MSRs, mortgage interest rates, which are used to determine prepayment rates and discount rates, are held constant over the estimated life of the portfolio. Fair values of the MSRs are provided by an independent third-party broker of MSRs on a monthly basis. The values given by the broker are based upon current market conditions and assumptions, which incorporate the expected life of the loans, estimated costs to service the loans, servicing fees to be received and other factors. MSRs are carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or fair value.
The fair value of the MSRs is driven primarily by the effect current mortgage interest rates have on the likelihood borrowers will prepay the underlying mortgages by refinancing at a lower rate. Accordingly, higher interest rates decrease the likelihood of repayment, extending the life of the MSRs and increasing the value of these assets. Lower interest rates increase the likelihood of repayment, contracting the life of the MSRs and decreasing the value of these assets. This can have a significant impact on our income. In the first three months of 2004, we recognized an expense of $364 thousand due to the lower values of these MSRs; in 2003, we recognized an expense of $754 thousand for these assets. We can have no certainty on the direction and amount of interest rate changes looking forward, and therefore, we can have no certainty on the amount or direction of the change in valuation.

Income Statement Analysis
Net Income-General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $2.5 million, compared to $3.5 million for the same period of 2003. Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.17 to $0.36 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $0.53 for the same period of 2003. This represented a decrease in earnings per share of 32.1%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in gains on loans sold of $2.2 million due to the decline in mortgage loan refinancing activity. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $531 thousand. The effect of these items, net of taxes, was a decline in unaudited net income of approximately $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003.
The profitability of the Companys operations depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between total interest earned on interest earning assets and total interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The Companys net income is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as other income and other expenses. The provision for loan losses reflects the amount thought to be adequate to cover probable credit losses in the loan portfolio. Non-interest income or other income consists of mortgage loan servicing fees, loan and other fees, service charges on deposits, gain on sale of loans, gain on sale of securities and other operating income. Other expenses include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, data processing expenses, marketing, amortization and valuation of mortgage servicing rights, supplies expense and other expenses.
The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets, the level of interest rates earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities, and the level of interest rates paid on those interest bearing liabilities. The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and managements assessment of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, as well as economic and market conditions. Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expense. Growth in the number of accounts affects other income including service fees as well as other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and other miscellaneous expenses.

Net Interest Income. The following tables present, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities, and the resultant costs, expressed both in dollars and rates. Borrowings made by the Companys Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) from outside parties are not included in this analysis, as the interest expense on this borrowing is born by the ESOP. Funding for the ESOP is recognized as part of compensation expense:

(1) Non-accrual loans and held for sale loans are included in average loans.
(2) Interest income includes loan origination fees of $730 thousand and $952 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
(3) Non-taxable investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis, adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and associated disallowed interest expense. The effective tax rate was 37% and 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Disallowed expense was $85 thousand and $57 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
(4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities and is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis.
(5) Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets.

For the first quarter of 2004, net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $558 thousand to $9.1 million from $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2003. The increase in net interest income resulted from a decrease in interest expense of $1.0 million (19.8%), while interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased $448 thousand (3.3%). Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities of 65 basis points, which accounted for a decrease in interest expense of $1.3 million. This was partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $52.8 million, which accounted for an increase in interest expense of $321 thousand. Interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased due to a decrease in the average rate on interest earning assets of 76 basis points, which accounted for a decrease in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis of $1.6 million. This was partially offset by an increase in the average volume of interest earning assets of $60.2 million (7.1%), which accounted for an increase of $1.1 million in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. The net interest margin expressed in a fully tax equivalent basis decreased 10 basis points to 3.96% for 2004 from 4.06% for 2003.
Volume, Mix and Rate Analysis of Net Interest Income. The following tables present the extent to which changes in volume, changes in interest rates, and changes in the interest rates times the changes in volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected our interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided on changes in each category due to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume times the prior period interest rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in interest rate (changes in rate times the prior period volume); and (iii) changes attributable to changes in rate/volume (changes in interest rate times changes in volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionally to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate:

In the first quarter of 2004, other income decreased by $1.8 million (37.5%) to $3.0 million from $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2003. Gain on loans sold decreased $2.2 million due to a drop in mortgage loan refinance activity from historically high activity in the first quarter of 2003. This drop in refinancing was expected and was experienced generally in the financial services industry. In the first quarter of 2004, other income also included a gain of $272 thousand on the sale of securities. Loan and other fees increased $170 thousand (43.9%) from 2003 to 2004, mainly due to an increase in trust fees related to the generation of more trust business.

For the first quarter of 2004, other expenses increased $567 thousand (8.1%) to $7.5 million in 2004 from $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2003. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expenses, increased by $290 thousand (8.1%), due to an increase in staff over the past 12 months of 20 full-time equivalent employees (7.4%), most of whom were officer and supervisor level employees in the loan department. The increase in staff was necessary because of the extremely high mortgage loan refinancing volume during the year. Amortization and valuation of mortgage servicing rights increased $219 thousand (28.5%), due to both an increase in volume of mortgage servicing rights resulting in higher amortization and a decline in interest rates resulting in higher impairment of these mortgage servicing rights. Data processing expenses increased $134 thousand (44.5%), mainly due to the additional software depreciation expense related to the Banks new online banking system and other new software systems.
Income Taxes. In the first quarter of 2004, income tax expense decreased $715 thousand (32.5%) over the first quarter of 2003 to a total of $1.4 million compared to $2.2 million. The effective tax rate decreased to 37.1% in the first quarter of 2004, compared to 38.0% in the first quarter of 2003.
Balance SheetGeneral. Total assets at March 31, 2004 remained at $1.0 billion, following a slight decrease of $1.2 million (0.1%) from December 31, 2003. During the same period, total liabilities decreased $4.2 million (0.4%) to a total of $936.5 million on March 31, 2004 from $940.7 on December 31, 2003. The decline in total liabilities was primarily due to a decline in short-term borrowings of $4.4 million. Stockholders equity (including stock owned by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan) increased $3.0 million (4.5%) to $69.1 million on March 31, 2004 compared to $66.1 million on December 31, 2003.

Investment Securities. The primary purposes of the investment portfolio are to provide a source of earnings, for liquidity management, to provide collateral to pledge against public deposits and to control interest rate risk. In managing the portfolio, the Company seeks to obtain the objectives of safety of principal, liquidity, diversification and maximized return on funds. For an additional discussion with respect to these matters, see Liquidity and Capital Resources under Item 2 and Asset Liability Management under Item 3 below.

Net loans increased $89.6 million (13.3%) to $761.5 million at March 31, 2004 from $671.9 million at March 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily to growth in the Companys commercial real estate, construction and residential real estate loan portfolios.

At March 31, 2004, total non-performing assets increased $3.6 million (54.5%) to $10.2 million from $6.6 million at March 31, 2003 due to increases in other real estate owned of $2.8 million and increases in non-performing loans of $775 thousand. The increases in other real estate owned was primarily due to two large construction loans placed into other real estate owned totaling $6.3 million. This was partially offset by the sale of a commercial property and a construction loan totaling $3.1 million. Non-performing loans increased primarily due to two loans to a single customer totaling $927 thousand that were classified as non-accrual in 2004.
At March 31, 2004, total non-performing assets decreased $773 thousand (7.1%) to $10.2 million from $10.9 million at December 31, 2003, primarily due to decreases in other real estate owned of $540 thousand. The decreases in other real estate owned was primarily due to the sale of a commercial real estate property valued at $1.3 million in 2004, which was partially offset by the acquisition of other real estate owned.
Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Companys financial condition and results of operations. As such, selection and application of this critical accounting policy involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the value of underlying collateral, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process regulatory agencies periodically review the Companys allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available at the time of their examinations.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31 totaled $234 thousand, a decrease of $387 thousand (62.3%) from $621 thousand from the three months ended March 31, 2003. The majority of the charge-offs were residential real estate and personal loans. The provision for loan losses remained the same for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, due to managements analysis of current non-performing loans and other factors.
The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans.

The portion of the allocation that was based upon historical loss experience increased by $235 in 2004, from $2.3 million in 2003 to $2.5 million in 2004. This was largely due to an increase in the allocation for construction real estate loans which increased by $701 thousand and the allocation for installment and other loans which increased $148 thousand. This was partially offset by a decrease in the allocation for commercial loans of $569 thousand. Concentration allocation increased slightly, from $4.7 million in 2003 to $4.8 million in 2004. This was due to an increase in the allocation for mortgages of $191 thousand, which was partially offset by a lower allocation in construction loans (a decline of $132 thousand). The allocation for specifically identified loans increased slightly, from $325 thousand to $345 thousand.
18
Management anticipates continued growth in the loan portfolio due to a strengthened local economy, a stabilized Los Alamos National Laboratory budget of over $2 billion and the expectation of a slight increase in interest rates. The volume of commercial real estate and construction loans is also anticipated to increase as the industry continues to strengthen and the recovery in capital spending boosts production and profits into 2004. Although record mortgage financing peaked in 2003, the housing market for new construction and resale homes is expected to remain strong, especially in the under $500 thousand market, which should remain constant. Residential real estate for property worth greater than $1.5 million is expected to be as soft as during the last several years. Losses in the first quarter of 2004 were less than expected due to the absence of any commercial charge-offs. Management believes losses will remain close to the last three years averages or trend slightly downward in 2004.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses, are determined based on a variety of factors, as indicated above. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual future loan losses.
Potential Problem Loans. The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. At scheduled Board of Directors meetings every quarter, a list of total adversely classified assets is presented, showing other real estate owned, other repossessed assets, and all loans listed as Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. All non-accrual loans are classed either as Substandard or Doubtful and are thus included in total adversely classified assets. A separate watch list of loans classified as Special Mention is also presented. An asset is classified Substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible and viewed as non-bankable assets, worthy of charge-off. Assets that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses that may or may not be within the control of the customer are deemed to be Special Mention.
The Companys determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Banks primary regulators, which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The Comptroller of the Currency, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies, has adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of adequate allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that (i) institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; (ii) management has analyzed all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and (iii) management has established acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. Management believes it has established an adequate allowance for probable loan losses. The Company analyzes its process regularly, with modifications made if needed, and reports those results quarterly at Board of Directors meetings. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Companys loan portfolio, will not request the Company to materially increase its allowance for loan losses at a future time. Although management believes that adequate specific and general loan loss allowances have been established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may become necessary.
The following table shows the amounts of adversely classified assets and special mention loans as of the periods indicated:

Total adversely classified assets increased $8.3 million (76.9%) from March 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. The main reason for the increase was an increase of $5.4 million in loans classified as substandard and an increase of $2.8 million in other real estate owned. The increase in loans classified as substandard (and offsetting decrease in special mention loans) was due to the re-classification of one large borrower relationship of $5.7 million consisting of commercial, commercial real estate, consumer and residential mortgages from special mention to substandard.
Sources of Funds
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
The Companys cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(2.5) million and $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities increased $30.6 million in the first three months of 2004 compared to the first three months of 2003 largely due to a decline in the sale of loans held for sale by $117.8 million over the first three months of 2003, which was partially offset by the origination of loans held for sale that decreased $87.4 million in the same period. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $15.3 million and $(34.2) million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $49.5 million increase in cash provided by investing activities was largely due to the sale of $28.4 million in investment securities, as well as the increase of cash provided by maturities and paydowns of securities of $14.1 million. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(2.2) million and $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $14.3 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was mainly due to a decrease in new deposit growth of $9.7 million from the first three months of 2003 compared to the first three months of 2004.
The Company expects to have available cash to meet its liquidity needs. Liquidity management is monitored by the Asset/Liability committee of the Bank, which takes into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed, the Company has established relationships with several large regional banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. The Company has borrowed, and management believes that the Company could again borrow, up to $84.0 million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. Additionally, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. The Company may also have up to 25% of its Tier 1 capital in the form of trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2004, the Company could borrow an additional $6 million in trust preferred securities. Subsequently, in April of 2004, the Company issued an additional $6.0 million in trust preferred securities, generating additional liquidity and increasing Tier 1 capital. These trust preferred securities were issued primarily to help support the continued growth of the Company and insure that it has sufficient Tier I capital to remain well-capitalized. As a contingency plan for significant funding needs, the Asset/Liability committee may also consider the sale of investment securities, selling securities under agreement to repurchase, sale of certain loans and/or the temporary curtailment of lending activities.
At March 31, 2004, the Companys total risk-based capital ratio was 11.74%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.76%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.42%. The Bank was categorized as well-capitalized under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, the Companys total risk-based capital ratio was 11.61%, the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.64%, and the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio was 8.05%.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Companys book value per common share was $10.27 and $9.86, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Asset Liability Management
The Companys net interest income is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that it can vary based on changes in the general level of interest rates. It is the Companys policy to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The strategy employed by the Company to manage its interest rate risk is to measure its risk using an asset/liability simulation model and adjust the maturity of securities in its investment portfolio to manage that risk.
Interest rate risk can also be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, therefore, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.
The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2004, which are anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined based on the earlier of the term to repricing or the term to repayment of the asset or liability. The table is intended to provide an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2004 on the basis of contractual maturities and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be reinvested and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Loan and investment securities contractual maturities and amortization reflect modest prepayment assumptions. While NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts have adjustable rates, it is assumed that the interest rates on these accounts will not adjust immediately to changes in other interest rates. Therefore, the table is calculated assuming that these accounts will reprice based upon an historical analysis of rate changes of these particular accounts, with repricing assigned to these accounts from six to fourteen months.
Borrowings made by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) are not included below, as the Company does not recognize interest expense on these borrowings. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP to service this debt, and these contributions are recognized as compensation expense.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Therefore, the Company does not rely solely on a gap analysis to manage its interest rate risk, but rather it uses what it believes to be the more reliable simulation model relating to changes in net interest income.
22
Based on simulation modeling at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Companys net interest income would change over a one-year time period due to changes in interest rates as follows:

Simulations used by the Company assume the following:
1. Changes in interest rates are immediate.
2. It is the Companys policy that interest rate exposure due to a 2.00% interest rate rise or fall be limited to 15.0% of the Companys annual net interest income, as forecasted by the simulation model. As demonstrated by the table above, the Companys interest rate risk exposure was within this policy at March 31, 2004.
Changes in net interest income between the periods above reflect changes in the composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, related interest rates, repricing frequencies, and the fixed or variable characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Projections of income given by the model are not actual predictions, but rather show our relative interest rate risk. Actual interest income may vary from model projections.
23
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls.
The majority of lawsuits the Company and the Bank are involved in are foreclosure and collection proceedings due to loan default which arise in the normal course of business. However, because the Bank acts as a depository of funds, from time to time it is named as a defendant in lawsuits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts and in other actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that there is currently any pending or threatened proceeding against either the Company or the Bank which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
