Main Street Banks, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note A – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation: The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company Main Street Banks, Inc. (“Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Main Street Bank (“the Bank”) Main Street Insurance Services, Inc. (“MSII”), Piedmont Settlement Services, Inc. (“Piedmont”) and MSB Payroll Solutions, LLC. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States followed within the financial services industry for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for interim periods have been included.

 

The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. These financial statements and related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

 

Note B - Acquisitions

 

On January 2, 2004, MSII acquired substantially all of the assets of Banks Moneyhan Hayes Insurance Agency, Inc. (“BMIA”), an insurance agency headquartered in Conyers, Georgia. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the results of operations of BMIA are included from the acquisition date. The Company issued 271,109 shares of its common stock as consideration. The value of the 271,109 shares issued was determined based on the Company’s closing market price of $25.82 on December 5, 2003, the date the acquisition was announced. Goodwill of $4.7 million and Intangible Assets of $2.8 million were created as a result of the transaction. Intangible assets will be amortized over a 15 year period. This acquisition also includes an “earn-out” provision of $1.2 million to be paid in 5 annual installments of $240,000 if certain annual performance criteria are met. Summarized below is an initial allocation of assets and liabilities acquired (in thousands):

On May 22, 2003, the Company completed its acquisition of First Colony Bancshares, Inc., parent of First Colony Bank, a $320 million asset bank headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination and accordingly, the results of operations of First Colony Bank are included from the acquisition date. The Company issued 2.6 million shares of its common stock and paid $45.0 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of First Colony Bancshares. The value of the 2.6 million shares issued was determined based on the Company’s closing market price of $19.61 on December 11, 2002, the date the acquisition was announced. Goodwill and Intangible Assets of $74.8 million were created as a result of the transaction. Summarized below is an allocation of assets and liabilities acquired (in thousands):

Note C - Current Accounting Developments

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 states that if a business enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of the activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the business enterprise. This interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interest in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate the entity. FIN 46 also requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks will be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. Due to the significant implementation concerns, the FASB revised Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN46R”) in December 2003. Management has evaluated the Company’s investment in variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities or transactions, particularly in trust preferred securities structures because these entities constitute the Company’s primary exposure.

The Company determined that certain trusts created by it to issue trust preferred securities required deconsolidation due to the provisions of FIN 46R. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2004, the Company was required to deconsolidate these trusts. The deconsolidation required the Company to remove $50.0 million in trust preferred securities from the consolidated statements and to record junior subordinated debentures payable to these trusts of $51.5 million and record the Company’s investment in the trusts of $1.5 million in other assets. In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes until further notice. The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary, provide further guidance. However, there can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

 

Currently, other than the impact described above from the deconsolidation of the trust preferred securities, the adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the financial condition or the operating results of the Company. Prior periods have not been restated for this change in accounting methods. Interpretive guidance relating to FIN 46 and FIN 46R is continuing to evolve and the Company’s management will continue to assess various aspects of consolidation and variable interest entity accounting as additional interpretative guidance becomes available.

 

Note D - - Earnings per Common Share

 

The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (“Statement 128”). Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adding to the shares outstanding the additional net effect of employee stock options that could be exercised into common shares. The computation of diluted earnings per share is as follows:

Note E – Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

 

The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as are used for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Note G - Stock Options and Long-term Compensation Plans

 

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No.148, requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share for companies not adopting its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. The pro-forma disclosure below uses the fair value method of SFAS 123 to measure compensation expense for stock-based employee compensation plans. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options granted is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information follows (in thousands except per share data):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003 and operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. These comments should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing elsewhere herein.

 

Overview

 

The Company’s total assets increased $175.4 million or 8.90% since December 2003. Federal funds sold decreased $31.1 million primarily due to an increase in loan demand. Loans increased 10.46% or $151.0 million since December 2003, while the investment portfolio increased $26.4 million. Goodwill increased by $7.1 million, as a result of the BMIA acquisition. Total deposits increased by 7.40% or $107.9 million due primarily to an ongoing deposit campaign, use of brokered and national deposits, and seasonal public funds.

 

Return on average equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was 13.8% and 14.1% on average equity of $215.1 million and $212.5 million, respectively. This compares to 16.5% and 16.8% on average equity of $154.8 million and $145.4 million for the same periods in 2003. Return on average assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were 1.41% and 1.47%. This compares to 1.57% and 1.63% for the same periods in 2003.

 

During the second quarter of 2004 there were several events that occurred that had an impact on the financial statements of the Company:

 

  Conversion to a new platform operating system and related write-off of obsolete equipment

 

  Elimination of 38 positions

 

  Write-off of a contract for ATM / EFT services

 

Each of the preceding items will be discussed in more detail in the “Results of Operations” included in this report on Form 10-Q.

 

Operating System Conversion

 

During the second quarter the Company completed its conversion to a new operating system platform. The conversion was done primarily to replace a number of different independent systems with one fully integrated processing platform. This was done to improve reporting and processing efficiencies.

 

Preparation for the system conversion has been ongoing for the past two years. During that time the Company has capitalized most of the cost associated with the conversion into projects-in-process on our balance sheet. Other related items were expensed as they were incurred and will not be capitalized. It was also necessary for the Company to write-off the remaining book balance of software and hardware systems that were no longer necessary due to the conversion. The Company expects a $2.7 million increase in fixed assets during 2004 due to the conversion to the new system.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Summary

 

During the second quarter the Company had several events that effected earnings for the period. These events include an elimination of 38 jobs, sale of investment securities, and the effect of acquisitions.

 

The Company eliminated 38 positions on June 10, 2004. The Company eliminated these 38 positions mainly due to recent acquisitions and anticipated efficiencies made available with the core system conversion and other productivity initiatives implemented during the quarter. The Bank also reorganized other positions within the Company in order to improve efficiencies. All affected employees were paid through June 30, 2004 including the payment of severance packages and accrued benefits. The effect of the elimination of 38 positions and subsequent payouts increased compensation expense for the second quarter by $332,000.

 

As part of normal business processes, the Company will, from time to time, sell investment securities available for sale and recognize the associated gain or loss as part of non-interest income. During the second quarter, the Company sold investment securities available for sale totaling $11,686,267 and recognized a gain on the sale of these securities of $490,481. The weighted average coupon rate on the securities sold was 5.721%.

 

The MSII acquired BMIA on January 1, 2004. During the second quarter the business generated by BMIA increased insurance agency income by $839,842. For the six month period, BMIA has increased insurance agency income by $2.1 million.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $28.5 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 18.26% compared to $24.1 million for the same period in 2003. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of First Colony and net loan growth of $211.5 million from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004. Interest on federal funds sold decreased due to the Company’s decision to use the funds to purchase investment securities to earn a higher yield. Average earning assets for the three month period increased $386.3 million to $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2004 compared to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2003. Yield on average earning assets decreased 49 basis points to 6.14% from 6.63% for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $8.3 million, a $2.4 million, or 40.68% increase from June 30, 2003. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of First Colony. While average interest bearing liabilities increased $424.2 million to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2003, the yield on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 13 basis points to 1.77% from 1.64% as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased $2.0 million, or 10.99% to $20.2 million compared to $18.2 million for the same period ending June 30, 2003. The increase was mainly attributable to the Company’s ability to manage the effects of the Federal Reserve’s rate reductions. The Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 4.55% as of June 30, 2003.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Many of the asset indicators used to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve have continued to improve since December of 2003. These indicators include criticized assets, non-performing assets, monthly annualized charge-offs and the over 30 day past due percentage. Overall real estate market conditions in Atlanta appear to be stable to improving and the national economy improved during the quarter. Management believes that the present allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income was $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 an increase of $1.8 million, or 32.14% compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The major components of the increase were insurance agency income and gain on sales of investment securities. Insurance agency income increased $1.2 million, or 100.00% to $2.4 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. A gain on sales of investment securities of $549,000 was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $132,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2003.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense increased $3.3 million or 25.78% to $16.1 million from $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of First Colony, personnel required to accommodate the Company’s growth over the same period in 2003 and the additional expenses associated with the elimination of 38 positions in June of 2004. Salaries were $7.7 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 24.19% from the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 58.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 53.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Income Taxes

 

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of nondeductible interest expense, and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the provision for taxes was $2.8 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 27.50% compared to 30.55% for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ending June 30, 2004 is lower than for the same period in 2003 due to a tax refund received in 2004 that has been credited against the income tax expense for 2004.

 

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $56.2 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 22.98% compared to $45.7 million for the same period in 2003. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of First Colony and net loan growth of $211.5 million from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004. Interest on federal funds sold decreased due to the Company’s decision to use the funds to purchase investment securities to earn a higher yield. Average earning assets for the six month period increased $449.3 million to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2004 compared to $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2003. Yield on average earning assets decreased 61 basis points to 6.21% from 6.82% for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense on deposits and other borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $16.0 million, a $3.6 million, or 29.03% increase from June 30, 2003. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of First Colony. While average interest bearing liabilities increased $484.6 million to $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003, the yield on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 38 basis points to 1.77% from 2.15% as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased $6.8 million, or 20.42% to $40.1 million compared to $33.3 million for the same period ending June 30, 2003. The increase was mainly attributable to growth in the loan portfolio. The Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 4.99% as of June 30, 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Many of the asset indicators used to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve have continued to improve since December of 2003. These indicators include criticized assets, non-performing assets, monthly annualized charge-offs and the over 30 day past due percentage. Overall real estate market conditions in Atlanta appear to be stable to improving and the national economy improved during the second quarter of 2004. Management believes that the present allowance for loan losses is adequate.

 

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income was $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 an increase of $4.4 million, or 40.37% compared to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The major components of the increase were insurance agency income, gain on sales of investment securities and mortgage banking income. Insurance agency income increased $2.7 million, or 112.50% to $5.1 million from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Income from bank owned life insurance increased $0.5 million, or 55.55% to $1.4 million from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Mortgage banking income increased $0.2 million, or 13.33% to $1.7 million from $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. A gain on sales of investment securities of $853,000 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $316,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Non-interest expense increased $7.8 million or 32.64% to $31.7 million from $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was largely attributable to the acquisition of First Colony, additional personnel required to accommodate the Company’s growth and the additional expenses associated with the elimination of 38 positions in June of 2004. Salaries were $15.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 33.05% from the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 57.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 54.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Income Taxes

 

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of taxable income, the amount of tax-exempt income, the amount of nondeductible interest expense, and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the provision for taxes was $5.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the $5.3 million provided for in the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 28.01% compared to 30.22% for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the six months ending June 30, 2004 is lower than for the same period in 2003 to a tax refund received in 2004 that has been credited against the income tax expense for 2004.

 

Capital

 

Capital management consists of providing equity to support both current and future operations. The Company is subject to capital adequacy requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to capital adequacy requirements imposed by the FDIC and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance.

 

Both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk-based capital requirements for assessing bank holding company and bank capital adequacy. These standards define and establish minimum capital requirements in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure, adjusted for credit risk. The risk-based capital standards currently in effect are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among bank holding companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2004, the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank were well capitalized based on regulatory minimum capital requirements. The minimum capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies require a leverage capital to total assets ratio of at least 4%, core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 4% and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. The following table provides a comparison of the Company’s and the Bank’s leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios as of June 30, 2004 to the minimum and well-capitalized regulatory standards:

In December 2003, the Board of Directors approved a $100.0 million shelf offering. The Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 became effective on January 15, 2004. The net proceeds from the sale of the securities, if sold, would be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include repurchasing shares of our common stock, acquisitions of other companies, and extending credit to, or funding investments in, our subsidiaries. The precise amounts and timing of the use of the net proceeds will depend upon the Company and its subsidiaries funding requirements and the availability of other funds. Until the Company uses the net proceeds from the sale of any of our securities for general corporate purposes, the Company would use the net proceeds to reduce short-term indebtedness or for temporary investments. The Company expects that it will, on a recurrent basis, engage in additional financings as the need arises to finance our growth, through acquisitions or otherwise, or to fund subsidiaries of the Company.

 

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

At June 30, 2004, loans, net of unearned income, were $1.594 billion, an increase of $151.0 million or 10.46% over net loans at December 31, 2003 of $1.443 billion. The growth in the loan portfolio was attributable to a consistent focus on quality loan production and strong loan markets in the state. Residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans increased $97.3 million or 9.92% from December 31, 2003 while real estate construction loans increased $44.7 million or 14.70% over the same period. The Company continues to monitor the composition of the loan portfolio to ensure that the market risk to the balance sheet is not adversely affected by the impact of changes in the economic environment on any one segment of the portfolio.

 

The Company primarily focuses on the following loan categories: (1) commercial and industrial, (2) real estate construction, (3) residential mortgage, (4) commercial real estate, and (5) consumer loans. The Company’s management has strategically located its branches in high growth markets and has taken advantage of a surge in residential and industrial growth in metropolitan Atlanta.

 

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of non-performing and past due loans, historical trends of charged-off loans and recoveries, prevailing economic conditions and other factors management deems appropriate. The Company’s management has established an allowance for loan losses which it believes is adequate for inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Based on a credit evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses to the Company’s Board of Directors. The review that management has developed primarily focuses on risk by evaluating the level of loans in certain risk categories. These categories have also been established by management and take the form of loan grades. These loan grades closely mirror regulatory classification guidelines and include pass loan categories 1 through 4 and special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss categories of 5 through 8, respectively. By grading the loan portfolio in this manner the Company’s management is able to effectively evaluate the portfolio by risk, which management believes is the most effective way to analyze the loan portfolio and thus analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management also reviews charge-offs and recoveries on a monthly basis to identify trends.

Table of Contents

The Company’s risk management processes include a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio and insure credit grade accuracy. The credit review department is independent of the loan function and reports to the Executive Vice President of Risk Management. Through the loan review process, the Company maintains a classified loan watch list which, along with the delinquency report of loans, serves as a tool to assist management in assessing the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as a highly leveraged position, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources, deterioration in underlying collateral values, or poor financial condition which may jeopardize recoverability of the debt. Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans that have characteristics similar to substandard loans but have an increased risk of loss, or at least a portion of the loan may require being charged-off. Loans classified as “loss” are those loans that are in the process of being charged-off.

 

For the six month period ending June 30, 2004, net charge-offs totaled $0.9 million or 0.12% (annualized) of average loans outstanding for the period, net of unearned income, compared to $1.4 million or 0.26 % in net charge-offs for the same period in 2003. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.9 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2003. The allowance for loan losses totaled $23.1 million or 1.45% of total loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2004, compared to $21.2 million or 1.47% of total loans at December 31, 2003.

Non-Performing Assets

 

The Company has several procedures in place to assist management in maintaining the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Company has established written guidelines contained in its Lending Policy for the collection of past due loan accounts. These guidelines explain in detail the Company’s policy on the collection of loans over 30, 60, and 90 days delinquent. Generally, loans over 90 days delinquent are placed in a non-accrual status.

 

However, if the loan is deemed to be in process of collection, it may be maintained on an accrual basis. The Company’s management conducts continuous training and communicates regularly with loan officers to make them aware of its lending policy and the collection policy contained therein. The Company’s management has also staffed its collection department with properly trained staff to assist lenders with collection efforts and to maintain records and develop reports on delinquent borrowers. Management is not aware of any loans that meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as of June 30, 2004. The Company records real estate acquired through foreclosure at the lesser of the outstanding loan balance or the fair value at the time of foreclosure, less estimated costs to sell.

Table of Contents

The Company usually disposes of real estate acquired through foreclosure within one year; however, if it is unable to dispose of the foreclosed property, the property’s value is assessed annually and written down to its fair value less costs to sell.

 

Non-performing assets decreased by $6.3 million since December 31, 2004. The Bank was able to reduce its non-performing assets during the first two quarters of 2004 through the sale of property securing our largest non-performing loan, refinance of another large non-performing loan by another bank, and the liquidation of collateral obtained through foreclosure. The following table presents information regarding non-performing assets at the dates indicated:

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

 

Asset Liability Management

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposures are credit (as discussed previously), interest rate risk and to a lesser degree, liquidity risk. The Bank operates under an Asset Liability and Risk Management policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank through the Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The policy outlines limits on interest rate risk in terms of changes in net interest income and changes in the net market values of assets and liabilities over certain changes in interest rate environments. These measurements are made through a simulation model which projects the impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s assets and liabilities. The policy also outlines responsibility for monitoring interest rate risk, and the process for the approval, implementation and monitoring of interest rate risk strategies to achieve the Bank’s interest rate risk objectives.

 

The Bank’s ALCO is comprised of senior officers of the Bank. The ALCO makes all tactical and strategic decisions with respect to the sources and uses of funds that may affect net interest income, including net interest spread and net interest margin. The ALCO’s decisions are based upon policies established by the Bank’s Board of Directors, which are designed to meet three goals: manage interest rate risk, improve interest rate spread and maintain adequate liquidity.

 

The ALCO has developed a program of action which includes, among other things, the following: (i) selling substantially all conforming, long-term, fixed rate mortgage originations, (ii) originating and retaining for the portfolio shorter term, higher yielding loan products which meet the Company’s underwriting criteria; and (iii) actively managing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The normal course of business activity exposes the Company to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset and liability framework for the Company. The principal objectives of asset and liability management are to guide the sensitivity of net interest spreads to potential changes in interest rates and enhance profitability in ways that promise sufficient reward for recognized and controlled risk. Funding positions are kept

within predetermined limits designed to ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. The Company employs sensitivity analysis in the form of a net interest income simulation to help characterize the market risk arising from changes in interest rates. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates usually result in changes in the fair market value of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. The Company’s interest rate risk position is managed by ALCO.

 

The Company uses a simulation modeling process to measure interest rate risk and evaluate potential strategies. The Company’s net interest income simulation includes all financial assets and liabilities. This simulation measures both the term risk and basis risk in the Company’s assets and liabilities. Term risk in the result of repricing and maturity timing mismatches. This is caused when the rates of deposits are changed at different times than when the rates of loans and investments change. Basis risk is caused by the differences in the amounts by which interest rates change from one instrument to another. The simulation also captures the option characteristics of products, such as caps and floors on floating rate loans, the right to pre-pay mortgage loans without penalty and the ability of customers to withdraw deposits on demand. These options are modeled through the use of primarily historical customer behavior and statistical analysis. Other interest rate-related risks such as prepayment, basis and option risk are also considered. Simulation results quantify interest risk under various interest rate scenarios. Management then develops and implements appropriate strategies. The Board of Directors regularly reviews the overall rate risk position and asset and liability management strategies.

 

The Company uses three standard scenarios—rates unchanged, rising rates, and declining rates—in analyzing interest rate sensitivity. The rising and declining rate scenarios cover a 100 basis points upward and downward rate shock. The following table illustrates the expected effect a given interest rate shift would have on the fair market value of the Balance Sheet and the annualized projected net interest income of the Company as of June 30, 2004.

 

Change in Interest Rates


  

Increase / (Decrease) in

Increase / (Decrease) in

Net Interest Income


 

+ 100 basis points

   2 %   2 %

- 100 basis points

   -4 %   -1 %

 

These simulated computations should not be relied upon as indicative of actual future results. Further, the computations do not contemplate certain actions that management may undertake in response to future changes in interest rates.

 

In fiscal 2004, the Company has continued to face term risk and basis risk. If interest rates rise, net interest income may actually increase if deposit rates lag increases in market rates. The Company could, however, experience significant pressure on net interest income if there is a substantial increase in deposit rates relative to market rates. A declining interest rate environment might result in a decrease in loan rates, while deposit rates remain relatively stable, which could also create significant risk to net interest income. ALCO’s subcommittee, the pricing committee, meets weekly to establish interest rates on loans and deposits and review interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions.

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 149”), as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by SFAS 133, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

 

19


Table of Contents

For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

 

The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to net interest income and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and floors as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts over the life of the agreement if the Prime interest rate decreases below a certain rate.

Liquidity

 

Liquidity involves the Company’s ability to raise funds to support asset growth or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis. During the past three years, the Company’s liquidity needs have primarily been met by growth in core deposits, advances from Federal Home Loan Bank, and raised capital. The Company’s cash and Federal Funds sold and cash flows from amortizing investment and loan portfolios have generally created an adequate liquidity position. Executive management reviews liquidity monthly. This review is from a regulatory as well as static and a four-quarter forecasted standpoint.

 

Market and public confidence in the financial strength of the Company and financial institutions in general will determine the Corporation’s access to supplementary sources of liquidity. The Company’s capital levels and asset quality determine levels at which the Company can access supplementary funding sources.

 

The Company relies primarily on customer deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements and shareholders’ equity to fund interest-earning assets. The Atlanta Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) is also a major source of liquidity for the Bank. The FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible collateral to satisfy their liquidity requirements.

 

Federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company’s incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.

Table of Contents

Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs in the present economic environment. The Company has not received any recommendations from regulatory authorities that would materially affect liquidity, capital resources or operations.

 

Maintaining a steady funding base is achieved by diversifying funding sources, competitively pricing deposit products, and extending the contractual maturity of liabilities. This reduces the Company’s exposure to roll over risk on deposits and limits reliance on volatile short-term purchased funds.

 

Short-term funding needs arise from funding of loan commitments and requests for new loans and from declines in deposits or other funding sources. The Company’s strategy is to fund assets to the maximum extent possible with core deposits that provide a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. Core deposits include all deposits, except certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over.

During the second quarter of 2004 there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that may have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
