FNB Corp. and Subsidiaries

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

FNB Corp. is a multi-bank holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries are the First National Bank and Trust Company (“First National Bank”), Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc. (“Rowan Bank”) and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”). First National Bank and Rowan Bank are collectively referred to as the “subsidiary banks”. First National Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, First National Investor Services, Inc. Through its subsidiaries, FNB Corp. offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. The subsidiary banks have offices in Cabarrus, Chatham, Guilford, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan and Scotland counties in North Carolina. Dover Mortgage Company operates seven mortgage production offices in North Carolina at Charlotte, Carolina Beach, Goldsboro, Greenville, Lake Norman, Raleigh and Wilmington.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without audit, include the accounts of FNB Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.

 

The organization and business of FNB Corp., accounting policies followed by the Corporation and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Corporation’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.

 

For comparative purposes, certain income statement amounts for 2003 have been restated to conform with the presentation in 2004.

 

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

3. Merger Information

 

On April 1, 2003, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Operating as a separate subsidiary of FNB Corp., Dover originates, underwrites and closes mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. Mortgage production is sold on a service-released basis to a number of national lenders who in turn service the loans. At the date of the merger, Dover operated six offices and, based on estimated fair values, had $47,001,000 in total assets and $5,823,000 in shareholders’ equity.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, 50% of the outstanding shares of Dover common stock were converted into FNB Corp. common stock and the remaining 50% were converted into cash. The aggregate purchase price was $5,567,000, consisting of $2,908,000 of cash payments and 126,140 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $2,659,000. Subject to a maximum total payment, Dover shareholders will be entitled to additional cash consideration over the four-year period following closing, based on a percentage of Dover’s pretax net income during that four-year period. Any additional cash consideration paid to Dover shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, additional cash consideration of $10,000 was paid to Dover shareholders and recorded as an adjustment of goodwill.

 

The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dover were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of April 1, 2003, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. There were no adjustments to the estimate of fair values during that one-year period. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Dover since April 1, 2003.

 

4. Earnings Per Share (EPS)

 

Basic net income per share, or basic EPS, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Corporation’s dilutive stock options were exercised. The numerator of the basic EPS computation is the same as the numerator of the diluted EPS computation for all periods presented. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

5. Stock Options

 

The Corporation accounts for awards under employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for such awards in the consolidated financial statements. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as if the compensation cost that would have been determined under the fair value method had been recorded in the consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, is disclosed as follows, for stock option grants in 1995 and subsequent years.

As previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Corporation expects to contribute $600,000 to its pension plan in 2004. As of June 30, 2004, no contribution has been made. The other postretirement benefit plans are unfunded plans, and there are no cash contribution requirements except for the direct payment of benefits.

 

10. Derivatives and Financial Instruments

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended by SFAS Nos. 137, 138 and 149, establishes

 

10


accounting and reporting standards for derivative and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those derivatives are reported in current earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting.

 

In connection with its asset/liability management objectives, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap on a $7,000,000 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance during the three months ended June 30, 2004 that converts the fixed rate cash flow exposure on the FHLB advance to a variable rate cash flow. As structured, the pay-variable, receive-fixed swap is evaluated as being a fair value hedge with no ineffectiveness; and, consequently, the difference in cash flows in each period between the variable rate interest payments that the Corporation makes and the fixed rate interest payments received is currently reported in earnings.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the interest rate swap resulted in net reductions of $38,000 and $49,000, respectively, in the interest expense that would otherwise have been reported for the FHLB advance. The fair value of the swap at June 30, 2004 was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a liability in the amount of $237,000, offset by a valuation adjustment in the same amount to the FHLB advance.

 

The Corporation has also identified the following derivative instruments which were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004: commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and forward sales commitments.

 

Dover Mortgage Company originates certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that Dover enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential mortgage loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Corporation is subject to variability in market prices related to these commitments. The Corporation believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the future sales of these loans by entering into forward sales commitments and commitments to deliver loans into a mortgage-backed security. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and the forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in income from mortgage loan sales. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans totaled $19,827,000 at June 30, 2004. The related forward sales commitments totaled $19,827,000 at June 30, 2004. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net asset of $12,000 at June 30, 2004. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $13,263,000 at June 30, 2004. The related forward sales commitments totaled $13,263,000 at June 30, 2004. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net liability of $31,000 at June 30, 2004.

 

The subsidiary banks had loans held for sale of $3,366,000 at June 30, 2004. Binding commitments of the subsidiary banks for the origination of mortgage loans intended to be held for sale at June 30, 2004 were not material.

 

11. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

 

On March 9, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments (“SAB No. 105”). SAB No.

 

11


105 provides recognition guidance for entities that issue loan commitments that are required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB No. 105 indicates that the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan and any other internally developed intangible assets should not be considered when recognizing a loan commitment at inception or through its life. SAB No. 105 also discusses disclosure requirements for loan commitments and is effective for loan commitments accounted for as derivatives and entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SAB No. 105 effective April 1, 2004, resulting in a change in its accounting for loan commitments issued by Dover Mortgage Company. The application of SAB No. 105 creates a timing difference in the recognition of certain income recorded as income from mortgage loan sales, deferring the recognition from the current accounting period to a subsequent period. The effect of adoption of SAB No. 105 on the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was a $356,000 reduction in Dover’s income from mortgage loan sales.

 

12. Business Segment Information

 

Prior to the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003, the chief operating decision maker had reviewed the results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as a single enterprise. There are now considered to be two principal business segments: the full-service subsidiary banks, First National Bank and Rowan Bank, and the mortgage banking subsidiary, Dover Mortgage Company. Dover originates, underwrites and closes loans for sale into the secondary market. Financial performance for each segment is detailed in the following tables. Included in the “Other” column are amounts for other corporate activities and eliminations of intersegment transactions.

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

 

The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to assist in the understanding and evaluation of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of FNB Corp. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First National Bank and Trust Company (“First National Bank”), Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc. (“Rowan Bank”) and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), collectively referred to as the “Corporation”. First National Bank and Rowan Bank are collectively referred to as the “subsidiary banks”. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Overview

 

Description of Operations

 

FNB Corp. is a multi-bank holding company with two full-service subsidiary banks, First National Bank and Rowan Bank, that offer a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. The subsidiary banks have offices in Cabarrus, Chatham, Guilford, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan and Scotland counties in North Carolina.

 

Additionally, FNB Corp. has a mortgage banking subsidiary, Dover Mortgage Company, that originates, underwrites and closes loans for sale into the secondary market. Dover operates seven mortgage production offices in North Carolina at Charlotte, Carolina Beach, Goldsboro, Greenville, Lake Norman, Raleigh and Wilmington.

 

For business segment information related to the financial performance of the full-service subsidiary banks and Dover Mortgage Company, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Merger Acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company in 2003

 

On April 1, 2003, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Operating as a separate subsidiary of FNB Corp., Dover originates, underwrites and closes mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. Mortgage production is sold on a service-released basis to a number of national lenders who in turn service the loans. At the date of the merger, Dover operated six offices and, based on estimated fair values, had $47,001,000 in total assets and $5,823,000 in shareholders’ equity. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, 50% of the outstanding shares of Dover common stock were converted into FNB Corp. common stock and the remaining 50% were converted into cash. The aggregate purchase price was $5,567,000, consisting of $2,908,000 of cash payments and 126,140 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $2,659,000. Subject to a maximum total payment, Dover shareholders will be entitled to additional cash consideration over the four-year period following closing, based on a percentage of Dover’s pretax net income during that four-year period. Any additional cash consideration paid to Dover shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, additional cash consideration of $10,000 was paid to Dover shareholders and recorded as an adjustment of goodwill. The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dover were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of April 1, 2003, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. There were no adjustments to the estimate of fair values during that one-year period. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Dover since April 1, 2003.

Primary Financial Data for 2004

 

The Corporation’s earnings declined sharply in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, affected by the significant factors discussed below. Earnings were $116,000 for the second quarter of 2004 and $2,068,000 for the first six months of 2004, decreases from the same periods of 2003 of 95.7% and 58.2%, respectively. Basic earnings per share for the second quarter decreased from $.48 to $.02 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $.45 to $.02. For the first six months of 2004, basic earnings per share decreased from $.89 to $.36 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $.85 to $.35. As noted above, Dover Mortgage Company was acquired as a subsidiary through merger effective April 1, 2003, impacting income and the calculation of earnings per share since the acquisition date and also the comparability of operating results on a year-to-date basis between 2004 and 2003 (see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Total assets were $833,237,000 at June 30, 2004, up 3.0% from June 30, 2003 and 7.8% from December 31, 2003. Loans amounted to $613,673,000 at June 30, 2004, increasing 9.4% from June 30, 2003 and 11.2% from December 31, 2003. Total deposits were up 4.1% from June 30, 2003 and 3.6% from December 31, 2003, amounting to $619,500,000 at June 30, 2004. A significant portion of the asset growth in the first six months of 2004 was funded by advances totaling $22,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank that were obtained primarily to help fund loan growth. Loans were impacted during that period by the sale of $12,535,000 of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans previously classified as held for investment as discussed in “Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004”.

 

Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004

 

Earnings were negatively impacted in the second quarter and first six months of 2004 by increases in the provision for loan losses of $1,950,000 and $1,970,000, respectively. As previously reported by management in the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, certain loans were identified subsequent to March 31, 2004 that were expected to be either wholly or partially charged off in the second quarter of 2004, resulting in charge-offs in an estimated range up to $2,500,000. Actual charge-offs in the 2004 second quarter amounted to $2,574,000. The determination of the second quarter provision for loan losses took into account the actual charge-offs, the significant growth in loans held for investment during the second quarter, amounting to $31,521,000, and the level of nonperforming loans, which increased to $7,026,000 at June 30, 2004 compared to $5,725,000 at March 31, 2004. Although the level of nonperforming loans was initially reduced during the 2004 second quarter by the charge-offs recorded, other loans totaling approximately $3,600,000 were evaluated as nonperforming during that period and moved to a nonaccrual status.

 

On March 9, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments (“SAB No. 105”). SAB No. 105 provides recognition guidance for entities that issue loan commitments that are required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB No. 105 indicates that the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan and any other internally developed intangible assets should not be considered when recognizing a loan commitment at inception or through its life. SAB No. 105 also discusses disclosure requirements for loan commitments and is effective for loan commitments accounted for as derivatives and entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SAB No. 105 effective April 1, 2004, resulting in a change in its accounting for loan commitments issued by Dover Mortgage Company. The application of SAB No. 105 creates a timing difference in the recognition of certain income recorded as income from mortgage loan sales, deferring recognition from the current accounting period to a subsequent period. The effect of adoption of SAB No. 105 on the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was a $356,000 reduction in Dover’s income from mortgage loan sales.

The comparison of income from mortgage loan sales on a year-to-date basis in 2004 to 2003 has been affected by the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003. In addition, income from mortgage loan sales has been negatively impacted in 2004 by the increase in long-term conforming mortgage rates from the historical lows that prevailed through most of 2003 and especially by the resulting slowdown in mortgage refinancing activity. Compared to 2003, income from mortgage loan sales, including the impact of adoption of SAB No. 105 as discussed above, declined $2,617,000 in the 2004 second quarter and $1,987,000 in the first six months of 2004. The effect of this decline was offset somewhat by the reduction in compensation and other expenses related to the mortgage operations. Income from mortgage loan sales further benefited in the first quarter of 2004 as a result of the $233,000 in income from the sale of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans totaling $12,535,000 that were previously classified as loans held for investment at December 31, 2003 but transferred to loans held for sale in the 2004 first quarter.

 

Net interest income has not increased in proportion to the increase in earning assets in 2004 compared to 2003, reflecting the continuing effect of the historically low level of interest rates. The net interest margin, as a percentage of earning assets, decreased 20 basis points from 3.98% in the first six months of 2003 to 3.78% in the same period of 2004 and decreased 13 basis points from 3.87% to 3.74% in comparing second quarter periods.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Of these significant accounting policies, the Corporation considers its policy regarding the allowance for loan losses to be its most critical accounting policy, because it requires management’s most subjective and complex judgments. In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Corporation has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Corporation’s assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the results of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers that is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. For additional discussion concerning the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and related matters, see “Asset Quality”.

 

Earnings Review

 

The Corporation’s net income decreased $2,564,000 or 95.7% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 and decreased $2,874,000 in comparing six-month periods. In general, earnings were impacted most significantly in the second quarter of 2004 by a $1,950,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and by a $2,518,000 decrease in noninterest income. Similarly, earnings for first six months of 2004 were impacted by a $1,970,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and by a $1,681,000 decrease in noninterest income. Certain factors specifically affecting the elements of income and expense were discussed above in “Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004”.

 

On an annualized basis, return on average assets decreased from 1.27% in the first six months of 2003 to .51% in the first six months of 2004. Return on average shareholders’ equity decreased from 12.90% to 4.98% in comparing the same periods. In the first six months of 2004, return on tangible assets and equity (calculated by deducting average goodwill from average assets and from average equity) amounted to .52% and 6.21%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investments, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in interest rates and in the volume, or average dollar level, and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Net interest income was $13,238,000 in the first six months of 2004 compared to $13,532,000 in the same period of 2003. This decrease of $294,000 or 2.2% resulted primarily from a decline in the net yield on earning assets, or net interest margin, from 3.98% in the first six months of 2003 to 3.78% in the same period of 2004, the effect of which was partially offset by a 2.9% increase in the level of average earning assets. In comparing second periods, net interest income decreased $69,000 or 1.00% reflecting a decrease in the net interest margin from 3.87% to 3.74%, the effect of which was significantly offset by a 2.2% increase in average earning assets. On a taxable equivalent basis, the decrease in net interest income in the first six months and second quarter of 2004 were $323,000 and $92,000, respectively, reflecting changes in the relative mix of taxable and non-taxable earning assets in each period.

 

Table 1 on page 29 and Table 2 on Page 30 set forth for the periods indicated information with respect to the Corporation’s average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income (taxable equivalent basis) from earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, resultant rates earned or paid, net interest income, net interest spread and net yield on earning assets. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net yield on earning assets, or net interest margin, refers to net interest income divided by average earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, as measured by volume and rate variances, are also analyzed in Tables 1 and 2. Volume refers to the average dollar level of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Changes in the net interest margin and net interest spread tend to correlate with movements in the prime rate of interest. There are variations, however, in the degree and timing of rate changes, compared to prime, for the different types of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Following the significant declines in 2001, interest rates have tended to stabilize in a generally low-rate environment for rates both earned and paid by the Corporation. After reductions in the prime rate totaling 4.75% in 2001, there were additional rate cuts of .50% in November 2002 and ..25% in June 2003, resulting in the prime rate of 4.00% that was effective through June 30, 2004. Due to concern about increasing inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve took action to raise the level of interest rates at the end of June 2004, causing the prime rate to increase to 4.25% in July 2004. The prime rate averaged 6.99% in 2001, falling to 4.67% in 2002 and 4.12% in 2003.

 

The Corporation’s net interest margin and net interest spread were negatively impacted in 2003 due in part to the prime rate reductions in November 2002 and June 2003 but also because of the cumulative effect of the reductions in yields on fixed rate earning assets over an extended period. While there has been some continuing erosion of the margin and spread in the first six months of 2004, the prime rate increase in July 2004 should have a positive effect on the yields of earning assets starting in the 2004 third quarter.

 

The prime rate averaged 4.00% in the first six months of 2004 compared to 4.24% in the first six months of 2003. The prime rate averaged 4.00% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to 4.23% in the

 

18


second quarter of 2003.The net interest spread, in comparing six-month periods, declined by 18 basis points from 3.73% in 2003 to 3.55% in 2004, reflecting the effect of a decrease in the average total yield on earning assets that more than offset the decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or cost of funds. The yield on earning assets decreased by 58 basis points from 5.94% in 2003 to 5.36% in 2004, while the cost of funds decreased by 40 basis points from 2.21% to 1.81%. In comparing second quarter periods, the net interest spread decreased by 12 basis points from 3.63% to 3.51%, as the yield on earning assets decreased by 48 basis points while the cost of funds decreased by 36 basis points.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

This provision is the charge against earnings to provide an allowance or reserve for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of each period’s charge is affected by several considerations including management’s evaluation of various risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance (see “Asset Quality”), actual loan loss experience and loan portfolio growth. Earnings were negatively impacted in the second quarter and first six months of 2004 by increases in the provision for loan losses of $1,950,000 and $1,970,000, respectively. As previously reported by management in the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, certain loans were identified subsequent to March 31, 2004 that were expected to be either wholly or partially charged off in the second quarter of 2004, resulting in charge-offs in an estimated range up to $2,500,000. Actual charge-offs in the 2004 second quarter amounted to $2,574,000. The determination of the second quarter provision for loan losses took into account the actual charge-offs, the significant growth in loans held for investment during the second quarter, amounting to $31,521,000, and the level of nonperforming loans, which increased to $7,026,000 at June 30, 2004 compared to $5,725,000 at March 31, 2004. Although the level of nonperforming loans was initially reduced during the 2004 second quarter by the charge-offs recorded, other loans totaling approximately $3,600,000 were evaluated as nonperforming during that period and moved to a nonaccrual status.

 

The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 1.10% at June 30, 2004, 1.17% at June 30, 2003 and 1.14% at December 31, 2003. The allowance percentage has decreased from June 30, 2003 due to charge-offs of impaired loans which were specifically reserved.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income for the first six months and second quarter of 2004 decreased $1,681,000 or 20.4% and $2,581,000 or 46.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2003, due primarily to declines of $1,987,000 and $2,617,000, respectively, in income from mortgage loan sales as discussed above in “Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004”.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense was $697,000 or 5.2% higher in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003, due primarily to the effect of the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003 on this comparison. While the 2003 first quarter did not contain any noninterest expense attributable to Dover, such expense in the 2004 first quarter amounted to $861,000. In comparing second quarter periods, which were comparable with respect to the inclusion of Dover operations, noninterest expense was lower by $387,000 or 5.2%, due primarily to the reduction in mortgage loan sales activity as discussed above in “Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004” and the effect of that reduction on compensation and other expenses related to the mortgage operations. Exclusive of the impact of the mortgage operations, the general level of personnel expense was affected in 2004 by increased staffing requirements, by normal salary

adjustments and by higher costs of fringe benefits. The cost of data processing services was higher in the first six months of 2003 because of the outside data processing services employed by Rowan Bank until the conversion to an in-house system in March 2003, with the conversion project separately resulting in $140,000 in expenses. Other expense has been affected in 2004 by higher levels of advertising and marketing expenditures, by higher communications expenses and by increased expenses related to credit administration and foreclosed properties.

 

Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate decreased from 31.5% in the first six months of 2003 to 19.6% in the same period of 2004 due principally to the significant decrease in the ratio of taxable to non-taxable income.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity for the subsidiary banks refers to their continuing ability to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is immediately available from five major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks, (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold, (c) lines for the purchase of federal funds from other banks, (d) the lines of credit established at the Federal Home Loan Bank, less existing advances against those lines, and (e) the investment securities portfolio. All debt securities are of investment grade quality and, if the need arises, can be promptly liquidated on the open market or pledged as collateral for short-term borrowing.

 

Consistent with the general approach to liquidity, loans and other assets of the subsidiary banks are based primarily on a core of local deposits and the subsidiary bank’s capital position. To date, the steady increase in deposits, retail repurchase agreements and capital, supplemented by Federal Home Loan Bank advances, has been adequate to fund loan demand in each subsidiary bank’s market area, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity and a substantial investment securities portfolio available for both immediate and secondary liquidity purposes.

 

Liquidity for Dover Mortgage Company refers to its continuing ability to fund mortgage loan commitments, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is principally available from a line of credit with another financial institution.

 

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

In the normal course of business, various commitments are outstanding that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Significant commitments at June 30, 2004 are discussed below.

 

Commitments of the subsidiary banks to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. At June 30, 2004, total commitments to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit amounted to $173,759,000. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on the credit evaluation of the borrower.

 

20


The subsidiary banks issue standby letters of credit whereby the subsidiary bank guarantees the performance of a customer to a third party if a specified triggering event or condition occurs. The guarantees generally expire within one year and may be automatically renewed depending on the terms of the guarantee. All standby letters of credit provide for recourse against the customer on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued, and this recourse may be further secured by a pledge of assets. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit was $6,214,000 at June 30, 2004 and $6,222,000 at June 30, 2003. Due to insignificance, the Corporation has recorded no liability at June 30, 2004 for the current carrying amount of the obligation to perform as a guarantor.

 

In connection with its asset/liability management objectives, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap on a $7,000,000 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance during the three months ended March 31, 2004 that converts the fixed rate cash flow exposure on the FHLB advance to a variable rate cash flow. As structured, the pay-variable, receive-fixed swap is evaluated as being a fair value hedge with no ineffectiveness; and, consequently, the difference in cash flows in each period between the variable rate interest payments that the Corporation makes and the fixed rate interest payments received is currently reported in earnings.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the interest rate swap resulted in net reductions of $38,000 and $49,000, respectively, in the interest expense that would otherwise have been reported for the FHLB advance. The fair value of the swap at June 30, 2004 was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a liability in the amount of $237,000, offset by a valuation adjustment in the same amount to the FHLB advance.

 

Dover Mortgage Company originates certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that Dover enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential mortgage loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Corporation is subject to variability in market prices related to these commitments. The Corporation believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the future sales of these loans by entering into forward sales commitments and commitments to deliver loans into a mortgage-backed security. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and the forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in income from mortgage loan sales. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans totaled $19,827,000 at June 30, 2004. The related forward sales commitments totaled $19,827,000 at June 30, 2004. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net asset of $12,000 at June 30, 2004. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $13,263,000 at June 30, 2004. The related forward sales commitments totaled $13,263,000 at June 30, 2004. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net liability of $31,000 at June 30, 2004.

 

The subsidiary banks had loans held for sale of $3,366,000 at June 30, 2004. Binding commitments of the subsidiary banks for the origination of mortgage loans intended to be held for sale at June 30, 2004 were not material.

 

The Corporation does not have any special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity positions, or gaps; however, this method addresses only the magnitude of timing differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios in order to more accurately measure interest rate risk.

 

The Corporation’s balance sheet was asset-sensitive at June 30, 2004. An asset-sensitive position means that, for cumulative gap measurement periods of one year or less, there are more assets than liabilities subject to immediate repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive interest-bearing liabilities, the earnings position could improve in a rising rate environment and could deteriorate in a declining rate environment, depending on the correlation of rate changes in these two categories. Included in interest-bearing liabilities subject to rate changes within 90 days is a portion of the interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits. These types of deposits historically have not repriced coincidentally with or in the same proportion as general market indicators.

 

Capital Adequacy

 

Under guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, capital adequacy is currently measured for regulatory purposes by certain risk-based capital ratios, supplemented by a leverage capital ratio. The risk-based capital ratios are determined by expressing allowable capital amounts, defined in terms of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, which are computed by measuring the relative credit risk of both the asset categories on the balance sheet and various off-balance sheet exposures. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, net of goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, which is limited to the total of Tier 1 capital, includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory convertible debt, preferred stock and the allowance for loan losses. Tier 3 capital, applicable only to financial institutions subject to certain market risk capital guidelines, is capital allocated to support the market risk related to a financial institution’s ongoing trading activities. At June 30, 2004, FNB Corp. and each of the subsidiary banks were not subject to the market risk capital guidelines and, accordingly, had no Tier 3 capital allocation. Total capital, for risk-based purposes, consists of the sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Under current requirements, the minimum total capital ratio is 8.00% and the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 4.00%. At June 30, 2004, FNB Corp. had a total capital ratio of 10.51% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.51%. First National Bank and Rowan Bank had total capital ratios of 12.00% and 10.76%, respectively, and Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.00% and 9.64%, respectively.

 

The leverage capital ratio, which serves as a minimum capital standard, considers Tier 1 capital only and is expressed as a percentage of average total assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction of those assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.00%. At June 30, 2004, FNB Corp. had a leverage capital ratio of 7.74%. First National Bank and Rowan Bank had leverage capital ratios of 9.16% and 7.45%, respectively.

 

First National Bank and Rowan Bank are also required to comply with prompt corrective action provisions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. To be categorized as well-capitalized, a bank must have a minimum ratio for total capital of 10.00%, for Tier 1 capital of 6.00%

 

22


and for leverage capital of 5.00%. As noted above, both First National Bank and Rowan Bank met all of those ratio requirements at June 30, 2004 and, accordingly, are well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

 

Balance Sheet Review

 

Total assets at June 30, 2004 were $24,455,000 or 3.0% higher than at June 30, 2003 and were $59,992,000 or 7.8% higher than at December 31, 2003. By similar comparison, deposits were ahead by $24,308,000 or 4.1% and $21,575,000 or 3.6%. The level of total assets is directly affected by the level of loans held for sale which are largely supported by borrowings obtained strictly for this purpose. At June 30, 2003, loans held for sale amounted to $44,143,000 compared to $8,567,000 at December 31, 2003, $14,636,000 at March 31, 2004 and $16,629,000 at June 30, 2004. Consequently, the growth in assets exclusive of loans held for sale was significantly higher at June 30, 2004 compared to June 30, 2003 than the amount indicated by the comparison of total assets noted above. The level of total assets was also affected at June 30, 2004 compared to both June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003 by additional advances totaling $22,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank that were obtained primarily to help fund loan growth. Affected by the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003 as discussed in the “Overview”, average assets increased 3.4% in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003, while average deposits increased 2.8%, the second quarter increases being 2.2% and 4.1%, respectively.

 

Investment Securities

 

Additions to the investment securities portfolio depend to a large extent on the availability of investable funds that are not otherwise needed to satisfy loan demand. In general, because of loan funding needs, proceeds from investment maturities and calls were diverted to this purpose, leading to a reduction in the level of investment securities at June 30, 2004 of $17,867,000 or 12.1% compared to June 30, 2003 and $14,700,000 or 10.2% compared to December 31, 2003 Investable funds not otherwise utilized are temporarily invested as federal funds sold or as interest-bearing balances at other banks, the level of which is affected by such considerations as near-term loan demand and liquidity needs.

 

Loans

 

The Corporation’s primary source of revenue and largest component of earning assets is the loan portfolio. In total, loans increased $52,506,000 or 9.4% during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004. As noted above in the “Balance Sheet Review”, the level of loans held for sale can significantly impact the comparison of total assets from period to period and hence the comparison of total loans. As further noted, there was a relatively high level of loans held for sale at June 30, 2003 compared to subsequent periods. Consequently, loans held for investment, excluding loans held for sale, grew by the much greater amount of $80,020,000 or 15.5% during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase in total loans during the first six months of 2004, which was affected by the sale in the first quarter of 2004 of loans totaling $12,535,000 previously classified as held for investment as discussed above in “Significant Factors Affecting Earnings in 2004”, was $61,760,000 or 11.2%. Affected by the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003 as discussed in the “Overview”, average loans were $52,467,000 or 9.8% higher in the first six months of 2004 than in the same period of 2003 and were $43,363,000 or 7.8% higher in the second quarter comparison. The ratio of average loans to average deposits, in comparing six-month periods, increased from 90.0% in 2003 to 96.1% in 2004. The ratio of loans to deposits at June 30, 2004 was 99.1%.

 

While the level of the entire loan portfolio has been adversely affected for an extended period by the general slowdown in the economy, the portfolios related to construction loans and commercial and other real

 

23


estate loans experienced significant gains during both the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004 and the first six months of 2004. The balance of the 1-4 family residential mortgage loan portfolio, exclusive of the initial impact of the Dover Mortgage Company acquisition, continued to be affected during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004 by the high level of refinancing activity that commenced in 2001 and extended through approximately the end of 2003, since many refinanced loans that were previously included in the “held for investment” category were sold as part of the refinancing process, and was also affected, as discussed above, by the direct sale in the 2004 first quarter of certain loans previously classified as held for investment.

 

Asset Quality

 

Management considers the asset quality of the subsidiary banks to be of primary importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is used to identify and monitor problem loans. As part of the loan review function, a third-party assessment group is employed to review the underwriting documentation and risk grading analysis.

 

In determining the allowance for loan losses and any resulting provision to be charged against earnings, particular emphasis is placed on the results of the loan review process. Consideration is also given to a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, and economic conditions in the market areas of the subsidiary banks. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses of each of the subsidiary banks. Such agencies may require the subsidiary banks to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

 

At June 30, 2004, the Corporation had no loans considered impaired. At June 30, 2003, the Corporation had impaired loans which totaled $1,233,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $533,000. At December 31, 2003, the Corporation had impaired loans which totaled $1,963,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $1,133,000.

 

At June 30, 2004, nonperforming loans were $7,026,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $5,867,000 and $1,159,000, respectively. At June 30, 2003, nonperforming loans were $6,661,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $4,564,000 and $2,097,000, respectively. At December 31, 2003, nonperforming loans were $5,993,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $5,235,000 and $758,000, respectively. At March 31, 2004, nonperforming loans were $5,725,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $4,668,000 and $1,057,000, respectively.

 

A model that considers both allocated and unallocated components of the allowance for loan losses is used on a quarterly basis to analyze the adequacy of the allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Homogeneous pools of loans are segregated, and classifications of individual loans within certain of these pools are identified using risk grades derived from regulatory guidelines. Allocations of estimated reserves are assigned to the most adversely classified loans based upon an individual analysis of

 

24


present-value repayment and/or liquidation projections of each loan. The reserve is allocated to each pool, and remaining classifications within pools, based upon a two-year historical loss ratio of First National Bank, concentrations within industries, economic and industry-specific trends, portfolio trends, and other subjective factors. An additional portion of the reserve is unallocated to any specific portion of the loan portfolio, and is based upon the mix and weight of the several homogeneous pools. The determination within the allowance model of allocated and unallocated components is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire balance of the allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio.

 

Earnings were negatively impacted in the second quarter and first six months of 2004 by increases in the provision for loan losses of $1,950,000 and $1,970,000, respectively. As previously reported by management in the Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, certain loans were identified subsequent to March 31, 2004 that were expected to be either wholly or partially charged off in the second quarter of 2004, resulting in charge-offs in an estimated range up to $2,500,000. Actual charge-offs in the 2004 second quarter amounted to $2,574,000. The determination of the second quarter provision for loan losses took into account the actual charge-offs, the significant growth in loans held for investment during the second quarter, amounting to $31,521,000, and the level of nonperforming loans, which increased to $7,026,000 at June 30, 2004 compared to $5,725,000 at March 31, 2004. Although the level of nonperforming loans was initially reduced during the 2004 second quarter by the charge-offs recorded, other loans totaling approximately $3,600,000 were evaluated as nonperforming during that period and moved to a nonaccrual status.

 

The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 1.10% at June 30, 2004, 1.17% at June 30, 2003 and 1.14% at December 31, 2003. The allowance percentage has decreased from June 30, 2003 due to charge-offs of impaired loans which were specifically reserved.

 

Management believes the allowance for loan losses of $6,579,000 at June 30, 2004 is adequate to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio; however, assessing the adequacy of the allowance is a process that requires considerable judgment. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current events which it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance or that future increases in the allowance will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the allowance, thus adversely affecting the operating results of the Corporation.

 

The following table presents an analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits

 

The level and mix of deposits is affected by various factors, including general economic conditions, the particular circumstances of local markets and the specific deposit strategies employed. In general, broad interest rate declines tend to encourage customers to consider alternative investments such as mutual funds and tax-deferred annuity products, while interest rate increases tend to have the opposite effect.

 

The level and mix of deposits has been specifically affected by the following factors. Reflecting new deposit products and extensive promotion efforts, noninterest-bearing demand deposits had significant growth during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004, increasing $7,286,000 during that period and $3,548,000 during the first six months of 2004. Interest-bearing transactional deposits, including demand, savings and money market deposits, have had similarly strong growth, increasing $7,566,000 during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004 and $4,088,000 during the first six months of 2004. The level of time deposits has been negatively affected in recent years by the continuing effect of interest rate declines. Time deposits did increase $9,456,000 during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004 and $13,939,000 during the first six months of 2004 due primarily to brokered time deposits of $ 7,570,000 obtained during the first six months of 2004 and to the increase in time deposits obtained from governmental units, such deposits amounting to $55,758,000, $39,981,000 and $49,605,000 at June 30, 2004, June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Business Development Matters

 

As discussed in the “Overview” and in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation completed a merger on April 1, 2003 for the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.

 

In August 2003, First National Bank received regulatory approval for relocation of its existing branch offices in Laurinburg and Randleman, North Carolina. The new Laurinburg office opened for business in July 2004, while construction of the new Randleman office is expected to be complete in 2005. The Laurinburg office replaces a leased facility, while the Randleman office represents a move from an owned facility that is expected to be disposed of.

 

In January 2004, First National Bank received regulatory approval for establishment of a new branch office in Greensboro, North Carolina. A loan production office was initially opened in February 2004 with a full-service banking office to follow.

 

In March 2004, Rowan Bank opened a new loan production office in Concord, North Carolina.

 

In April 2004, Dover Mortgage Company opened a new mortgage production office in Carolina Beach, North Carolina.

 

On July 23, 2004, the Corporation announced that Janet D. Abernethy, Senior Vice President of Rowan Bank, had been named as the interim CEO by its Board of Directors. This action was taken following the resignation of Bruce D. Jones, who had served as the President and CEO of Rowan Bank and as a Vice President and member of the Board of Directors for FNB Corp.

Accounting Pronouncement Matters

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (“SFAS No. 132”), which, similar to original SFAS No. 132, revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits”, and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”. Revised SFAS No. 132 retains the disclosure requirements contained in original SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”, which it replaces. Revised SFAS No. 132 requires additional disclosures to those in original SFAS No. 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The provisions of original SFAS No. 132 remain in place until the provisions of revised SFAS No. 132 are adopted. Certain provisions of revised SFAS No. 132 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 while others are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Additionally, certain provisions are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Corporation has adopted the disclosure provisions specifically effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003 and will adopt the remaining disclosure provisions as they become effective.

 

On March 9, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments (“SAB No. 105”). SAB No. 105 provides recognition guidance for entities that issue loan commitments that are required to be accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB No. 105 indicates that the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan and any other internally developed intangible assets should not be considered when recognizing a loan commitment at inception or through its life. SAB No. 105 also discusses disclosure requirements for loan commitments and is effective for loan commitments accounted for as derivatives and entered into subsequent to March 31, 2004. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SAB No. 105 effective April 1, 2004, resulting in a change in its accounting for loan commitments issued by Dover Mortgage Company. The application of SAB No. 105 creates a timing difference in the recognition of certain income recorded as income from mortgage loan sales, deferring the recognition from the current accounting period to a subsequent period. The effect of adoption of SAB No. 105 on the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was a $356,000 reduction in Dover’s income from mortgage loan sales.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Corporation’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in their analysis of the Corporation’s performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude average goodwill from the calculations of return on average assets and return on average equity. Management believes presentations of financial measures excluding the impact of goodwill provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Corporation’s core businesses. In addition, certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Management believes that the presentation of net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis aids in the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Cautionary Statement for Purpose of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “plans”, “projects”, “goals”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “should”, or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon of comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, from time to time, the Corporation or its representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Corporation. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results. The Corporation wishes to caution the reader that factors, such as those listed below, in some cases have affected and could affect the Corporation’s actual results, causing actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement. These factors include: (i) expected cost savings from the Corporation’s acquisition described in the Overview may not materialize within the expected time frame, (ii) revenues following the acquisition may not meet expectations, (iii) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business of the company acquired may be greater than anticipated, (iv) competitive pressure in the banking industry or in the Corporation’s markets may increase significantly, (v) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins, (vi) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration, (vii) changes may occur in banking legislation and regulation, (viii) changes may occur in general business conditions and (ix) changes may occur in the securities markets. Readers should also consider information on risks and uncertainties contained in the discussions of competition, supervision and regulation, and effect of governmental policies contained in the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market price and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods.

 

The Corporation’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of the Corporation’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. The Corporation does not maintain a trading account nor is the Corporation subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Corporation’s asset/liability management function, which is discussed above in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity”.

 

Management does not believe there has been any significant change in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and estimated fair values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2004, the end of the period covered by this report, FNB Corp. carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the company’s management, including FNB Corp.’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of FNB Corp.’s disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the company’s disclosure controls and procedures, FNB Corp. and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and FNB Corp.’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by FNB Corp. in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. No significant changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, FNB Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting. FNB Corp. reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal controls over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness. The internal controls at Dover Mortgage Company, which FNB Corp. acquired on April 1, 2003 and was not previously a public reporting company, are an area of particular focus and FNB Corp. has engaged a third-party consultant to review those controls with the aim of identifying and making any necessary or appropriate changes.
