NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the C&F Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

In the opinion of C&F Financial Corporation’s management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2003, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C&F Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Citizens and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), with all significant intercompany transactions and accounts being eliminated in consolidation.

 

Stock Compensation Plans: The Company has three stock-based compensation plans that are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Note 2

 

Net income per share assuming dilution has been calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the applicable periods.

 

Note 3

 

During the first six months of 2003, the Company repurchased 80,000 shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions at prices between $28.00 and $28.50 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the first six months of 2002.

 

Note 4

 

On September 1, 2002, the Bank acquired Moore Loans, Inc. Moore Loans is a leading regional finance company providing automobile loans in Richmond, Roanoke and Hampton Roads, Virginia and portions of eastern Tennessee. Under the terms of the acquisition, the outstanding shares of Moore Loans’ common stock were purchased for $11.0 million in cash, $3.0 million in subordinated notes of the Bank, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and up to an additional $3.0 million in cash contingent on Moore Loans attaining certain financial goals within the next three years, of which $337,000 was earned in 2002. Also, the Company has guaranteed a stock price of $30 per share for shares still held by the sellers on the three-year anniversary date of the transaction. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of $16.3 million was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

Note 5

 

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business activities: retail banking, mortgage banking and consumer finance. Revenues from retail banking operations consist primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities. Mortgage banking operating revenues consist principally of interest earned on mortgage loans held for sale, gains on sales of loans in the secondary mortgage market and loan origination fee income. Revenues from consumer finance activities consist primarily of interest earned on automobile loans. The Company also has investment and title company subsidiaries that derive revenues from brokerage and title insurance services, respectively. The results of these other subsidiaries are not significant to the Company as a whole and have been included in “Other.” The following table presents segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

The Retail Banking segment provides the Mortgage Banking segment with the funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the Mortgage Banking segment interest at the daily FHLB advance rate plus 50 basis points. The Retail Banking segment also provides the Consumer Finance segment with a portion of the funds needed to originate loans and charges the Consumer Finance segment interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. These transactions are eliminated to reach consolidated totals. Certain corporate overhead costs incurred by the Retail Banking segment are not allocated to the Mortgage Banking, Consumer Finance and Other segments.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws. These statements may address issues that involve estimates and assumptions made by management, risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from historical results or those anticipated by such statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislation and regulations, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products including residential home mortgages, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.

 

The following discussion supplements and provides information about the major components of the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of C&F Financial Corporation (the “Company”). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans while taking into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions which may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan (or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price) or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of delay in payment if the ultimate collectibility of all amounts due is expected. A valuation allowance is maintained to the extent that the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment.

Valuation of Derivatives: The Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (i.e., rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment and closing and sale of the loan generally ranges from 45 to 120 days. For such rate lock commitments, the Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby an investor commits to buy the loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the investor has assumed the interest rate risk on the loan.

 

The Company does not hold any derivative instruments in its securities portfolio nor has it entered into any other derivative hedging transactions.

 

Overview

 

Net income increased 53.6% to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $2.3 million for the same period of 2002. Earnings per diluted share were $.94 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, up 46.9% from $.64 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Net income increased 65.4% to $6.8 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $4.1 million for the same period of 2002. Earnings per diluted share were $1.81 for the first six months of 2003, up 58.8% from $1.14 per diluted share for the first six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

Performance as measured by the Company’s annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 2.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 2.26% for the same period of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, ROA was 2.56% compared to 2.03% for the first six months of 2002. Another key indicator of performance, the annualized return on average equity (ROE), was 23.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 19.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, ROE was 23.37% compared to 17.63% for the first six months of 2002.

 

The increase in net income and earnings per share for both the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted from an increase in the earnings of the Mortgage Banking segment, the inclusion of the earnings of the Consumer Finance segment, which was acquired in September 2002, and an increase in the recurring earnings of the Retail Banking segment, as summarized below.

 

Retail Banking: Earnings for the Retail Banking segment were $1.2 million and $2.5 million for the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2003, as compared to $1.4 million and $2.4 million for the second quarter and the first six months, respectively, of 2002. Included in earnings for 2002 was a non-recurring tax-free insurance benefit of $277,000. Excluding this benefit, recurring earnings for the Retail Banking segment increased approximately $81,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in recurring earnings is a result of higher average earning assets, principally funded by growth in deposits, and an increase in recurring non-interest income, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense. The increase in average earning assets is a result of a higher average balance of loans by the Retail Banking segment to the Mortgage Banking and the Consumer Finance segments, as well as an increase in loans to third party customers. The increase in recurring non-interest income is primarily a result of the new overdraft program implemented by the Bank during 2002 and the gain on calls of securities that resulted from the low interest rate environment. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily a result of an increase in salaries and benefits as the Bank continues to add staff to support growth.

Mortgage Banking: Earnings for the Mortgage Banking segment increased approximately $914,000 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and increased approximately $1.5 million to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in earnings is a result of the continued low interest rate environment and strong demand for mortgage loans, as well as the October 2002 addition of a new loan production office in Fredericksburg, Virginia and an increase in loan officers at existing loan production offices. Income at C&F Mortgage Corporation is generally correlated to changes in interest rates and new and resale home purchases. The low interest rates and strong home sales have resulted in strong demand for both mortgage loans to refinance existing loans as well as mortgage loans for new and resale home purchases. For the second quarter of 2003, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancing was $176.4 million compared to $39.0 million for the second quarter of 2002. Loans for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $144.3 million and $116.0 million, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, the amount of loan originations at C&F Mortgage resulting from refinancing was $304.6 million compared to $94.0 million for the same period of 2002. Loans for new and resale home purchases for these two time periods were $258.1 million and $199.0 million, respectively. C&F Mortgage would expect that future loan volume will be affected by changes in interest rates and demand for new and resale home sales.

 

Consumer Finance: Earnings for the Consumer Finance segment, consisting solely of Moore Loans, Inc., totaled $534,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. As discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Bank acquired Moore Loans on September 1, 2002. Therefore, there was no comparable Consumer Finance segment reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002.

Net Interest Income

 

The following table presents the average balances of interest-earning assets with related yields and interest-bearing liabilities with related rates. Loans include loans held for sale. Loans placed on a non-accrual status are included in the balances and in the computation of yields, upon which they had an immaterial effect. The yields on tax-exempt earning assets are on a taxable-equivalent basis, which converts the income on tax-free loans and investments to the equivalent yield as if taxes were paid using the federal corporate income tax rate of 34%.

Table of Contents

Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $7.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 70.4%, from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $15.5 million, an increase of $6.3 million or 68.4% from $9.2 million for the comparable period in 2002. These increases resulted from higher average interest earning assets, which increased 30.1% for the second quarter of 2003 and 30.5% for the first six months of 2003, and from increases in the net interest margin, which increased to 6.43% for the second quarter of 2003 from 4.93% for the same period in 2002 and to 6.38% for the first six months of 2003 from 4.95% for the first six months of 2002. The increases in average earning assets for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 were a result of an increase in the average balance of loans, offset in part by a decrease in the average balance of interest earning deposits at other banks (primarily at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)).

 

The increase in average loans is a result of an increase in loans at the Bank, the acquisition of Moore Loans and an increase in loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage. The increase in average loans at the Bank approximated $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $23.4 million for the first six months of 2003. This increase was a result of overall growth due to loan demand. The average balance of loans at Moore Loans, which was acquired September 1, 2002, was $74.0 million for the second quarter of 2003 and $71.2 million for the first six months of 2003. The increase in average loans at C&F Mortgage approximated $39.3 million and $32.6 million for the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of 2003, which resulted from an increase in originations at C&F Mortgage. Loans originated and loans sold at C&F Mortgage for the second quarter of 2003 were $320.7 million and $311.0 million, respectively, compared to $154.1 million and $157.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2002. Loans originated and loans sold at C&F Mortgage for the first six months of 2003 were $562.7 million and $570.9 million, respectively, compared to $292.7 million and $314.3 million, respectively, for the comparable period in 2002.

 

The decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 resulted from maturities and calls of higher-yielding securities. Funds provided from the decline in securities available for sale and from the reduction in lower-yielding interest-bearing deposits at other banks were deployed into higher-yielding loans.

 

The increase in the Company’s net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 was a result of an increase in the yield on interest earning assets to 8.27% from 7.09%, coupled with a decrease in the cost of funds to 2.22% from 2.66%. Similarly, the Company’s net interest margin on a taxable equivalent basis for the first six months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 increased as a result of an increase in the yield on interest earning assets to 8.27% from 7.30%, coupled with a decrease in the cost of funds to 2.27% from 2.88%. The increase in the yield on interest earning assets was a result of the higher yield on average loans at Moore Loans relative to the Bank and C&F Mortgage. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003, Moore Loans had average loans of $74.0 million and $71.2 million, respectively, with individual loan rates ranging from 15% to 20%. The favorable impact of Moore Loans’ yield was reduced by a decrease in the yield on loans held by the Bank resulting from the low interest rate environment and an increase in the average balance of lower yielding loans held for sale at C&F Mortgage. The taxable-equivalent yield on the Company’s securities portfolio declined from 7.50% for the second quarter of 2002 to 7.09% for the second quarter of 2003 and from 7.55% for the first six months of 2002 to 7.26% for the comparable period in 2003 as a result of the maturities and calls of higher-yielding securities.

 

The decrease in the cost of funds for the Company was a result of the falling interest rate environment and the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit at lower rates, offset in part by hgher-cost funds related to Moore Loans. Moore Loans has a line of credit with an unrelated third party,

which bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. In addition, as part of the acquisition of Moore Loans, the Bank borrowed $15 million from the FHLB at rates between 2.8% and 3.3% and $5 million from an unrelated third party, which bears interest at 6.0%. As part of the purchase price of Moore Loans, the Bank issued $3 million in subordinated debt to the former shareholders of Moore Loans, which bears interest at 8.0%.

Total non-interest income increased $3.1 million or 62.5% to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total non-interest income increased $5.9 million or 64.9% to $14.9 million for the first six months of 2003 from $9.1 million for the same period in 2002. The three month and six month increases in 2003 are mainly attributable to an increase in gains on the sale of loans and other service charges and fees resulting from an increase in volume of loans closed and sold by C&F Mortgage. The increase in service charges at the Retail Banking segment is a result of the Bank’s new overdraft program that was started at the beginning of 2002, and the increase in gains on calls of available for sale securities is a result of the calls of higher-yielding securities. These increases at the Bank were more than offset by a non-recurring insurance benefit of $277,000 received in the second quarter of 2002.

Total non-interest expense increased $3.5 million, or 57.6%, to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total non-interest expenses increased $6.4 million, or 54.8%, to $18.2 million for the first six months of 2003 from $11.8 million for the first six months of 2002. The three month and six month increases in 2003 are mainly attributable to the acquisition of Moore Loans in September 2002, coupled with higher commissioned salaries and employee benefits expense and other operating expenses at C&F Mortgage Corporation resulting from the increase in loan production. In addition, the increase in personnel expenses at the Retail Banking segment is a result of an increase in operations and administrative personnel, coupled with higher employee benefits expense, which are attributable to continued growth and higher pension and health care costs.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $1.8 million, an effective tax rate of 33.6%, compared to $826,000, or 26.4%, for the second quarter of 2002. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2003 totaled $3.4 million, an effective tax rate of 33.1%, compared to $1.5 million, or 27.0%, for the first six months of 2002. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 is a result of a decrease in earnings from tax exempt assets as a percentage of total income mainly resulting from the increased earnings at C&F Mortgage and Moore Loans and to the receipt of a non-recurring insurance benefit in the second quarter of 2002 that was not subject to income taxes.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The following table summarizes the allowance activity for periods indicated:

The Consumer Finance segment, consisting solely of Moore Loans, accounts for the majority of the activity in the allowance for loan losses during the second quarter and the first six months of 2003. Moore Loans serves customers who have limited access to traditional automobile financing. Moore Loans’ typical borrowers have experienced prior credit difficulties or have modest incomes. Because Moore Loans serves customers who are unable to meet the credit standards imposed by most traditional automobile financing sources, Moore Loans expects to sustain a higher level of credit losses than traditional automobile financing sources. As Moore Loans provides financing in a relatively higher risk market, Moore Loans generally charges interest at higher rates than those charged by traditional financing sources.

 

In addition to maintaining the allowance for loan losses, Moore Loans retains dealer reserves that are established at the time a loan is made and is specific to each individual dealer. Loans charged off at Moore Loans are first charged to the dealer reserves, to the extent that an individual dealer has reserves, and the remainder is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Dealer reserves are a liability of Moore Loans and payable to individual dealers upon the termination of the relationship with Moore Loans and the payment of outstanding loans associated with a specific dealer. The following table summarizes the dealer reserves activity (dollars in 000’s):

During periods of economic slowdown or recession, delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and losses generally increase at the consumer finance segment. These periods also may be accompanied by decreased consumer demand for automobiles and declining values of automobiles securing outstanding loans, which weakens collateral coverage and increases the amount of a loss in the event of default. Significant increases in the inventory of used automobiles during periods of economic recession may also depress the prices at which repossessed automobiles may be sold or delay the timing of these sales.

There has been no substantive change in non-performing assets of the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segment, which increased to $2.8 million at June 30, 2003 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in accruing loans past due for 90 days or more is largely a result of a $2.5 million commercial loan secured by real estate. Management is closely monitoring this relationship and believes that assets securing this loan are adequate at this time. Real estate owned consists primarily of two commercial properties, and there are active negotiations with a third-party purchaser for one of these properties. The allowance for loan losses was $4.1 million at June 30, 2003 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2002, which approximates 1.50% and 1.40%, respectively, of total loans and real estate owned. Management believes that the current allowance is adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible in the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segment.

 

Non-performing assets of the Consumer Finance segment increased to $872,000 at June 30, 2003 from $688,000 at December 31, 2002. The corresponding allowance for loan losses was $3.4 million at June 30, 2003 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2002, and dealer reserves were $2.2 million at June 30, 2003 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2002. Because Moore Loans focuses on non-prime borrowers, the actual rates of delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and losses on these loans are higher than those experienced in the general automobile finance industry and could be more dramatically affected by a general economic downturn. While Moore Loans seeks to manage the higher risk inherent in loans made to non-prime borrowers through underwriting criteria and collection methods it employs, no assurance can be given that these criteria or methods will afford adequate protection against these risks. However, management believes that the current allowance for loan losses and dealer reserves are adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans in the Consumer Finance segment, which may become uncollectible.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company had total assets of $554.4 million compared to $551.9 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is principally a result of an increase in loans held for investment. At June 30, 2003, loans held for investment amounted to $339.3 million compared to $328.6 million at December 31, 2002. Loans held by the Consumer Finance segment increased $8.0 million from $64.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $72.2 million at June 30, 2003. Loans held by the combined Retail and Mortgage Banking segment increased $2.7 million from $264.4 million at December 31, 2002 to $267.1 million at June 30, 2003. These increases were offset in part by a decline in loans held for sale to $99.0 million at June 30, 2003 from $107.2 million at December 31, 2002. This balance fluctuates based on originations and loan sales at C&F Mortgage. During the first six months of 2003, loan sales were $570.9 million and loan originations were $562.7 million.

Investment Securities

 

At June 30, 2003, total investment securities were $59.9 million compared to $60.6 million at December 31, 2002. Mortgage backed securities represented 5.9% of the total securities portfolio, obligations of state and political subdivisions were 80.1%, U.S. government agency notes were 3.7% and preferred stocks were 10.3% at June 30, 2003. Mortgage backed securities represented 7.2% of the total securities portfolio, obligations of states and political subdivisions were 83.5% and preferred stocks were 9.3% at December 31, 2002.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits totaled $402.7 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $383.5 million at December 31, 2002. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $60.3 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $53.4 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in deposits is primarily a result of an increase in deposits at branches that were opened in the last quarter of 2001, and the result of investors moving funds from stocks and mutual funds to banks.

Other Borrowings

 

Borrowings totaled $72.3 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $94.5 million at December 31, 2002. This decrease occurred in short-term borrowings from the FHLB. There were no short-term advances from the FHLB outstanding on June 30, 2003 compared to $29.0 million outstanding on December 31, 2002. The decrease in short-term advances was primarily a result of the decline in loans held for sale, which are funded in part by FHLB advances, and an increase in deposits. The decline in FHLB advances was offset in part by a $7.5 million increase in the bank line of credit that partially funds loans at Moore Loans.

 

Liquidity

 

At June 30, 2003, cash, securities classified as available for sale and interest-bearing deposits were 15.6% of total earning assets compared to 15.3% at December 31, 2002. Asset liquidity is also provided by managing the investment maturities.

 

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include the Bank’s capacity to borrow additional funds through an established federal funds line with a regional correspondent bank, an established line with the FHLB and a revolving line of credit with a third party bank.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. Adoption of the Statement did not result in an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

The effect of changing prices on financial institutions is typically different from other industries as the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Interest rates are significantly impacted by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes is directly related to price level indices. Impacts of inflation on interest rates, loan demand and deposits are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There have been no significant changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. No significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
