ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

GENERAL

Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Texas in 1979.  The Corporation is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), and became a financial holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”) in February 2002.  The Corporation maintains its principal executive offices at 3880 Hulen Street, Suite 300, Fort Worth, Texas 76107.  At December 31, 2004, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $989.1 million, consolidated total loans of $702.6 million, consolidated total deposits of $792.3 million and consolidated total shareholders’ equity of $74.5 million.

The Corporation’s principal activity is the ownership and management of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Summit Delaware Financial Corporation, Summit Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and SIA Insurance Agency, Inc. (“SIA”).  The Corporation provides advice and services to the Bank and coordinates its activities in the areas of financial accounting controls and reports, internal audit programs, regulatory compliance, financial planning and employee benefit programs, although the Bank operates under the day-to-day management of its own officers and directors.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to federal and state laws applicable to financial institutions and businesses generally. This regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, and not for the protection of shareholders and creditors of the Corporation.  The following summary of statutory and regulatory provisions is not intended to be a complete description of all of the statutes and regulations to which the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes and regulations.  Any change in applicable statutes, regulations or policies of regulatory authorities could have a material effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Corporation

General.  As a bank holding company and a financial holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation under the BHC Act, the GLB Act and to inspection, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”).   Under the BHC Act, the GLB Act and other federal laws, regulations and policies, the Corporation is subject to restrictions on the types of activities in which it may engage and is subject to regulatory enforcement actions for any violations of such laws, regulations and policies.

Scope of Permissible Activities.  The BHC Act generally prohibits the Corporation from directly or indirectly engaging in, or from directly or indirectly acquiring 5.0% or more of any class of voting securities of any company engaged in any activities other than banking, managing or controlling banks or other activities determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.  Some activities that the FRB has determined to be closely related to banking include making or servicing loans, performing certain data processing services, acting as an investment or financial adviser and providing certain securities brokerage services.

The GLB Act amended the BHC Act in November 1999 to permit the creation of a “financial holding company,” a new type of bank holding company with powers exceeding those of a traditional bank holding company.  As a financial holding company under the GLB Act, the Corporation may provide a wide variety of financial services previously reserved for insurance companies and securities firms, including services such as lending, investing for others, safeguarding money or securities, underwriting insurance, issuing annuities, acting as an insurance principal, agent or broker and providing financial or investment advice.

Under the GLB Act, the Corporation may also engage in, and acquire and retain shares of any company engaged in any activity that the FRB determines to be financial in nature or incidental thereto or complementary to a financial activity, provided that such activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.  The GLB Act also generally permits the Corporation to invest in non-financial companies as a part of a bona fide underwriting or merchant or investment banking activities if it holds an investment only for a period of time to enable its sale or disposition on a reasonable basis consistent with the financial viability of the foregoing activities.

Source of Strength to the Bank.  Under FRB regulations, the Corporation is expected to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and, under appropriate circumstances, commit resources to its support.  This support may be required at times when the Corporation may not be able to provide such support.  If the Corporation fails to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, the FRB may find the Corporation to be engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking practice and in violation of FRB regulations.

Restrictions on Payment of Dividends.  Under FRB regulations, the FRB has the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in activities that the FRB considers unsafe or unsound banking practices.  Under certain circumstances, the FRB may take the position that payment of dividends by the Corporation would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice in light of the financial condition of the Corporation.  Under FRB policies, a bank holding company should pay cash dividends on its common stock only out of income available over the past year and should not pay cash dividends if such payment would undermine its ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.  The Corporation’s ability to pay cash dividends is further limited by its obligation to maintain adequate levels of capital in accordance with the FRB’s capital adequacy guidelines.  See “Business - The Corporation - Capital Adequacy Requirements.”

Capital Adequacy Requirements.  The FRB has established guidelines to assess the capital adequacy of bank holding companies.  The guidelines impose two sets of capital adequacy requirements on bank holding companies: (i) risk-based capital guidelines, which require bank holding companies to maintain a specified minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets, and (ii) leverage ratios, which require bank holding companies to maintain a specified minimum ratio of capital to total assets.  Failure to comply with these capital adequacy guidelines could subject the Corporation to a variety of enforcement actions as well as certain limitations on its business, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the payment of dividends to its shareholders.

Under the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB requires bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be in the form of Tier 1 capital).  A bank holding company’s qualifying total capital represents the sum of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital (with Tier 2 capital being limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital), less investments in certain unconsolidated subsidiaries.  Tier 1 capital generally includes common shareholders’ equity, qualifying preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill, intangible assets and certain other adjustments.  Tier 2 capital generally includes certain other preferred stock, qualifying debt instruments and allowances for loan losses.  Risk-weighted assets are calculated by multiplying asset balances by corresponding risk weights generally based on perceived credit risk.  At December 31, 2004, the Corporation’s ratios of Tier 1 and qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets were 10.1% and 11.4%, respectively, both of which exceeded regulatory minimums.

4


The FRB guidelines also require bank holding companies with high regulatory ratings to maintain minimum leverage ratios of at least 3.0%, which are calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted average total consolidated assets.  Other bank holding companies with supervisory, financial or managerial weaknesses, as well as those anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain leverage ratios in excess of 3.0%.  At December 31, 2004, the Corporation’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total consolidated assets was 7.9%, which exceeded the regulatory minimum.

Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires bank regulators to take “prompt corrective action” against an insured depository institution if that institution does not meet certain capital adequacy guidelines.  In the event an insured depository institution becomes “undercapitalized” under the FDICIA capital adequacy guidelines, it must submit a capital restoration plan to its federal regulatory agency.  Before regulatory authorities will approve an undercapitalized institution’s capital restoration plan, each company that controls the institution must guarantee, up to certain limits, the institution’s compliance with the capital restoration plan.  Because the Bank is an insured depository institution under FDICIA that is controlled by the Corporation, the Corporation would be required to guarantee the Bank’s compliance with a capital restoration plan in the event the Bank becomes undercapitalized under the FDICIA capital adequacy guidelines.  See “Business - the Bank - Capital Adequacy Requirements” for additional information regarding the FDICIA capital adequacy guidelines. 

Under FDICIA, liability for the fulfillment of any such guarantee could extend up to 5.0% of the undercapitalized institution’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the undercapitalized institution into compliance with the capital adequacy guidelines.  In addition, a bank holding company controlling an undercapitalized institution may be required to obtain FRB approval prior to paying cash dividends or engaging in other activities.  Under certain circumstances, the FRB may also require a bank holding company to divest itself of an undercapitalized institution or other affiliates of the bank holding company.

Liability of Commonly Controlled Institutions.  The Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) contains a “cross-guarantee” provision under which commonly controlled insured depository institutions can be held liable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) for any losses incurred, or reasonably expected to be incurred, by the FDIC due to the default of an insured depository institution, and for any assistance provided by the FDIC to an insured depository institution that is in danger of default.  A FDIC “cross-guarantee” claim against an insured depository institution for administrative expenses and claims of such institution’s depositors (including the FDIC, as subrogee of such depositors) has priority over the rights of such institution’s shareholders and other creditors.

Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies.  Under the BHC Act, prior FRB approval is required before a bank holding company merges or consolidates with, or acquires direct or indirect control of more than 5.0% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or substantially all of the assets of, any bank or bank holding company.  In approving any of the foregoing transactions, the FRB is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the banks and bank holding companies concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served and other various competitive factors.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Interstate Banking Act”) provides that the FRB may approve an application of an adequately capitalized and managed bank holding company to acquire banks located in other states, regardless of whether the acquisition would be prohibited by applicable state laws.  Any such approval, however, would be subject to applicable state age laws.  An out-of-state bank holding company seeking to acquire ownership or control of a bank located in Texas must obtain the prior approval of both the FRB and the Banking Commissioner of Texas (the “Commissioner”) if the Texas bank has not been in existence for five years.  If the FRB approves an acquisition that the Commissioner disapproves, the Commissioner may accept the FRB decision or attempt to have the decision overturned by a federal court.

The Interstate Banking Act also provides that a bank holding company and its affiliates may not acquire a bank located in Texas if, as a result of the acquisition, the bank holding company and its affiliates would control more than 10.0% of total deposits in insured depository institutions nationwide or 30.0% or more of total deposits in insured depository institutions in the home state of the bank to be acquired.  However, states may adopt deposit concentration caps that are more restrictive than those set forth in the Interstate Banking Act, and Texas has adopted a deposit concentration cap of 20.0% of in-state insured deposits that will apply in connection with acquisitions of banks located in Texas.

Acquisitions of Bank Holding Companies.  The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 (the “CBC Act”) prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company unless the FRB has been given prior notice and has not disapproved the acquisition.  For purposes of the CBC Act, the acquisition of 25.0% or more of any class of voting securities of a bank holding company constitutes an acquisition of control.  The FRB presumes that the acquisition of 10.0% or more of any class of voting securities of a bank holding company constitutes acquisition of control if either the bank holding company has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or if no other person will own or control a greater percentage of that class of securities immediately after the acquisition.  This presumption can be rebutted by showing that the acquisition will not in fact result in an acquisition of control of the bank holding company under the CBC Act. 

Enforcement.  The FRB has broad supervisory enforcement authority over bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries.  The FRB may seek various administrative remedies in connection with activities and practices of bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries that constitute violations of federal laws and FRB regulations, including issuing cease and desist orders that may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct improper conditions, restitution, reimbursement, indemnification, guaranty against loss, restrictions on growth, disposal of certain assets or such other action as the FRB determines to be appropriate.

5


FIRREA significantly expanded the FRB’s enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries.  Under FIRREA, the scope of individuals and entities against whom enforcement may be sought and penalties assessed was expanded to include, among others, directors, officers, employees or controlling shareholders of bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries.  FIRREA also increased the amount of civil penalties that the FRB and other regulatory agencies may assess for knowingly or recklessly committing certain activities that cause a substantial loss to a depository institution.

The Bank

General.  The Bank is a national banking association organized under the National Bank Act, as amended (the “National Bank Act”), and is subject to supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).  The OCC regulates national banks with respect to, among other matters, capital adequacy, reserves, loan portfolios, investments and management practices, and the OCC may seek various administrative remedies in connection with activities and practices of national banks that are unsafe or unsound or constitute violations of law.  The Bank is also subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC because the Bank’s deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) of the FDIC.  The FRB also has supervisory and regulatory authority over the activities and practices of the Bank.

Scope of Permissible Activities.  Under the National Bank Act, a national bank may engage in making, arranging, purchasing or selling loans, purchasing, holding and conveying real estate under certain conditions, dealing in investment securities under certain circumstances and, generally, engaging in the business of banking and activities that are incidental thereto.  Activities that are deemed to be incidental to the business of banking include, among others, borrowing and lending of money, receiving deposits, holding or selling securities or other property acquired in connection with security on a loan, discounting and negotiating evidences of debt,  issuing letters of credit to or on behalf of its customers, operating a safe deposit business, providing check guarantee plans, issuing credit cards, operating a loan production office, selling loans under repurchase agreements and verifying and collecting checks.

Branching.  National banks with a main office or a branch in Texas may establish branches anywhere in Texas with prior OCC approval.  In acting on a branch application of a national bank, the OCC considers a number of factors, including the bank’s financial history, capital adequacy and earnings prospects, the character of its management and needs of the community.

The Interstate Banking Act also permits banks to merge across state lines and thereafter have interstate branches by continuing to operate, as a main office or a branch, any office of any bank acquired in connection with an interstate bank acquisition.  The Interstate Banking Act also allows a bank to open new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations if the laws of that state permit a de novo branch of an out-of-state bank.  A “de novo branch” is a branch office of a bank that was originally established as a branch rather than as a result of an acquisition or merger.  Under Texas law, an out-of-state bank may establish a de novo branch in Texas if the laws of the home state of the out-of-state bank permit a Texas bank to establish a de novo branch in such state.  An out-of-state bank that has established or acquired a branch in Texas may establish or acquire additional in-state branches to the same extent as a Texas bank.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates.  The Bank is subject to federal statutes which limit transactions between the Bank and its affiliates.  Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act places limitations on the Bank’s ability to make loans to, purchase assets from and make investments in, its affiliates, and it also requires certain levels of collateral for loans made by the Bank to its affiliates.  Transactions between the Bank and its affiliates are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which requires, among other things, that certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates must be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies.

The Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation O also impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank and its affiliates to make loans to their directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests.  These restrictions include limits on loans to one borrower and conditions that must be met before such loans can be made.  There is also an aggregate limitation on all loans to insiders and their related interests.  In the aggregate, these loans generally may not exceed the institution’s total unimpaired capital and surplus.  Directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of these restrictions.

Interest Rate Limits and Lending Regulations.  The Bank is subject to various state and federal statutes relating to the extension of credit and the making of loans.  The National Banking Act generally defers to state law for the maximum rate of interest which may be charged by national banks.  The maximum legal rate of interest that the Bank may charge on a loan under Texas law depends on a variety of factors, including the type of borrower, the purpose of the loan, the amount of the loan and the date on which the loan is made.  Penalties are provided by law for charging interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate.

Loans made by banks located in Texas are subject to numerous other federal and state laws and regulations, including the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Texas Finance Code, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act.  Failure to comply with these laws could result in certain remedies for borrowers and penalties for lenders.    The scope and requirements of these and similar laws and regulations have expanded in recent years and, as a result, claims by borrowers under these laws and regulations may increase in the future.

Restrictions on Payment of Dividends.  The principal source of the Corporation’s revenues is cash dividends received from the Bank.  The National Bank Act provides that the Bank may pay dividends out of its current or retained net profits but may not pay dividends out of its paid-in capital.  The National Bank Act further restricts the Bank’s payment of dividends by prohibiting the Bank from declaring a dividend until its surplus fund equals the amount of its capital stock or, if its surplus fund does not equal the amount of its capital stock, until one-tenth of the Bank’s net profits for the preceding half year, in the case of quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or the preceding two half-year periods, in the case of annual dividends, are transferred to the surplus fund.  OCC approval is required prior to the

6


payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the two preceding years.  The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is further restricted by the FDICIA capital adequacy guidelines.  See “Business - The Bank - Capital Adequacy Requirements.”  In addition, certain regulatory authorities are authorized to prohibit the Bank from paying dividends if any such payment would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

Capital Adequacy Requirements.  FDICIA established a system of supervision of the capital adequacy of insured depository institutions based upon minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios which are similar to those established by the FRB for bank holding companies.  The OCC regulations establish five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.”  A depository institution is considered “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.  A depository institution is considered “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0% or greater if the institution was given the highest rating in its most recent report of examination) and the institution does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized” institution.  A depository institution is considered “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% if the institution received the highest rating in its most recent report of examination).  An institution is “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%.   A depository institution is “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.  At December 31, 2004, the Bank qualified as a “well capitalized” institution under the OCC regulations.

Prompt Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies.  FDICIA requires federal banking regulators to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to capital-deficient insured depository institutions with the overall goal of limiting losses to the BIF.  With certain exceptions, a depository institution is prohibited from making capital distributions or paying management fees to its bank holding company if the payment of such distributions or fees will cause the institution to become undercapitalized.  Furthermore, an undercapitalized institution must file a capital restoration plan with the OCC, which must be guaranteed by each company that controls such institution.  See “Business - The Corporation - Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries.”  Undercapitalized institutions also are subject to restrictions on growth, acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business unless they have an approved capital restoration plan that otherwise permits such activities.  An institution that is not well capitalized may not accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval and will be subject to limitations on interest rates that it offers on its deposits.  In addition, the OCC may, among other things, require an undercapitalized institution to issue securities or other obligations to raise funds to recapitalize the institution or, under certain circumstances, divest one or more of its subsidiaries for such purpose.

The OCC and other Federal banking agencies are authorized by FDICIA to take various enforcement actions against any significantly undercapitalized institution and action may be taken against an institution that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a capital restoration plan approved by the OCC.  Such actions may include, among other things, prohibiting asset growth or requiring asset reduction, restricting interest rates paid, requiring FRB prior approval of any capital distributions by any bank holding company which controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring an election of new directors of the institution and requiring the dismissal of its directors and officers.

Critically undercapitalized institutions may be subject to more extensive control and supervision.  A critically undercapitalized institution may be prohibited from, among other things, entering into any material transaction not in the ordinary course of business, amending its charter or bylaws or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates.  In addition, critically undercapitalized institutions generally will be prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on outstanding subordinated debt.  Within 90 days of the date on which an institution becomes critically undercapitalized, the OCC must appoint a receiver or conservator unless certain findings are made with respect to the prospect for the institution’s continued viability.

Deposit Insurance Assessments.  Under FDICIA, the FDIC is required to assess premiums on an insured depository institution’s deposits in order to adequately fund the BIF.  The FDIC has established a risk-based insurance premium assessment system that is used to calculate deposit insurance assessments made on BIF member banks.  Under the assessment system, each insured depository institution is assigned to one of nine risk classifications based upon certain capital and supervisory measures and, depending upon its classification, assessed insurance premiums on its deposits.  Insured depository institutions are required to pay insurance premiums ranging from 0% of insured deposits to 0.27% of insured deposits.  The Bank currently qualifies for the 0% insurance premium assessment.

7


Under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the “Funds Act”), banks insured under the BIF were required to pay a part of the interest on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) in the late 1980s to recapitalize the defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.  Before the Funds Act, FICO payments were made only by depository institutions which were members of the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the “SAIF”).  Prior to January 1, 2000, the Funds Act provided that BIF members were assessed for FICO payments at only one-fifth the rate of assessment on SAIF members.  However, beginning January 1, 2000, the Funds Act provided that all BIF- and SAIF- insured institutions must pay FICO assessments at the same rate.  For the first quarter of 2005, FICO rates have been set at .0144% for both BIF and SAIF members.  The FICO assessment rates for both BIF and SAIF members for 2004 were as follows:

Community Reinvestment Act.  The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) and the regulations issued by the OCC  thereunder are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks.  These regulations also provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the needs of its service area when considering applications to establish branches, merger applications and applications to acquire the assets of another bank.  FIRREA requires federal banking agencies to publicly disclose the rating of a bank’s performance under the CRA.  In the case of a bank holding company, the CRA performance record of its subsidiary bank is reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of securities or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company.  An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction.  A less than satisfactory CRA rating can limit the extent to which a bank holding company and its affiliates can take advantage of the expanded range of activities permitted by the GLB Act.

Customer Privacy

Under the GLB Act, federal banking regulators have adopted rules limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers.  These rules require each financial institution to establish an information security program and a written plan containing policies and procedures designed to prevent the disclosure of nonpublic information about consumers.  The plan must be adjusted on a continuing basis for changes in technology, the sensitivity of consumer information and internal and external threats to information security.  A financial institution’s policy for protecting nonpublic information about consumers must be disclosed to the customer at the time the customer relationship is established and at least annually thereafter.

Changing Regulatory Structure

Various proposals relating to the regulation of banks and other financial institutions are introduced from time to time by Congress, states and other regulatory authorities.  If enacted or otherwise adopted, any of such proposals could significantly change the regulation of banks and other financial institutions in substantial and unexpected ways.  The Corporation cannot predict whether any such proposals will be enacted or otherwise adopted or, if enacted or adopted, the extent to which such proposals would affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation or the Bank.

Monetary Policy and Economic Controls

The business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and the Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policies of the FRB.  An important function of the FRB is to promote orderly economic growth by influencing interest rates and the supply of money and credit.  Among the methods that have been used by the FRB to achieve this objective are open market operations in United States government securities, control of borrowings at the “discount window,” changes in the discount rate for member bank borrowing, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits and certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates and the placement of limitations on interest rates that member banks may pay on time and savings deposits.  FRB monetary policies have materially affected the business, results of operations and financial condition of banks and other financial institutions in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.  The Corporation cannot predict the nature of any future monetary policies or the effect that such policies may have on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and the Bank.

ITEM 7.

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

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and may contain certain forward-looking statements that are based on current management expectations.  Generally, verbs in the future tense and the words, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “opinion,” “potential” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  Examples of this forward-looking information can be found in, but are not limited to, the expected effects of accounting pronouncements and government regulation applicable to the Corporation’s operations, the discussion of allowance for loan losses, litigation and any quantitative and qualitative disclosure about market and interest rate risk.  The actual results of the Corporation could differ materially from those management expectations.  Further information concerning the Corporation and its business, including additional risk factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are set forth below.  These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  The forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, except as may be required by applicable law and regulation, the Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly update or revise such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. 

Overview.  The Corporation’s business has been conducted primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank, Summit Delaware Financial Corporation, SIA and SBI Trust.  As of December 31, 2004, the Bank operated its branch offices in twelve locations in Tarrant County, Texas.  At December 31, 2003, the Bank had seven branch offices.  The increase during 2004 was due to the May 2004 acquisition of the four branches of Arlington National Bank and the October 2004 opening of a branch in Euless, Texas.  In May 2004, the Corporation completed its acquisition of ANB Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arlington National Bank (collectively, “ANB”), and ANB’s results of operations have been included in the Corporation’s results of operations since the acquisition date.  On December 31, 2004, the Corporation effected a two-for-one stock split on its common stock payable in the form of a 100% stock dividend, and all share and per share data included herein has been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

The Corporation’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Results of operations are also affected by the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses, investment activities, loan servicing fees and other fees.  The Corporation’s non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, advertising, data processing expense and other expenses.

Net income for 2004 was $10.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 10.2%, compared to $9.8 million recorded for 2003.  On a weighted average share basis, net income for 2004 was $0.85 per diluted share as compared to $0.77 per diluted share for 2003, an increase of 10.4%.  The increase in earnings during 2004 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $6.3 million over 2003.  The increase in net interest income during 2004 was primarily due to growth in average loans of 28.4%, which more than offset the impact of the low interest rate environment and a declining net interest margin during 2004 compared to 2003.  Excluding ANB, which added $40.8 million to average loans in 2004, average loans increased 20.3% over 2003.  Non-interest income in 2004 increased $1.2 million, or 20.1% over 2003.  ANB accounted for $1.0 million of this increase.  Non-interest expenses increased $4.7 million during 2004 compared to 2003.  The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to ANB, the Euless location and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs which added $2.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to the 2004 expenses.  In addition, the expense for the provision for loan losses in 2004 increased $0.9 million over 2003, virtually matching the increase in net charge-offs over 2003.  Net charge-offs for 2004 remain at low levels relative to the Corporation’s five-year average. 

Continuing to reflect an improving economy in the Corporation’s market area as well as the ANB acquisition, total loans at December 31, 2004 were $702.6 million, which represented an increase of 26.9% over total loans for 2003.  Total funding (deposits and borrowings) for 2004 also experienced growth, increasing 25.8% over the prior year period to $910.4 million.  Shareholders’ equity was $74.5 million at December 31, 2004, which represented an increase of 8.5% compared to December 31, 2003.

Net income for 2003 was $9.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 4.8%, compared to $9.3 million recorded for 2002.  On a weighted average share basis, net income for 2003 was $0.77 per diluted share as compared to $0.73 per diluted share for 2002, an increase of 6.2%.  The increase in earnings during 2003 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $1.0 million over 2002.  The increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in average loans of 8.9%, which more than offset the impact of the low interest rate environment and a declining net interest margin.  The increase in non-interest expenses during 2003 was primarily attributable to strategic investment in new technology, new branches, new support facilities and additional lending staff.  These expenses were offset during 2003 by a significant reduction in the provision for loan losses as compared to 2002.  In 2003, loan recoveries exceeded loan losses, as credit quality and the local economy both continued to improve.

The return on average assets ratio is calculated by dividing net income by average total assets for the year.   Management believes the Corporation’s return on average assets ratio of 1.16% in 2004 is comparable to the return on average assets ratio of other financial institutions in the Corporation’s peer group, which averaged 1.27% in 2004.  The Corporation’s peer group is comprised of other publicly traded bank holding companies headquartered in Texas and was selected by management of the Corporation.

The return on average shareholders’ equity ratio is calculated by dividing net income by average shareholders’ equity for the year.  Management believes the Corporation’s return on average shareholders’ equity ratio of 15.04% in 2004 compares favorably to the return on average shareholders’ equity ratio of other financial institutions in the Corporation’s peer group, which averaged 14.23% in 2004.

The shareholders’ equity to assets ratio is calculated by dividing average shareholders’ equity by average total assets for the year. Management believes the Corporation’s average shareholders’ equity to average assets ratio of 7.74% in 2004 is comparable to the return on average shareholders’ equity to average asset ratio of other financial institutions in the Corporation’s peer group, which averaged 8.95% in 2004.  The Corporation’s ratio is lower than its historical levels due to the ANB acquisition and the significant increase in assets added.   With the ANB acquisition being a cash acquisition, it resulted in the leveraging of the Corporation’s capital position, thus creating a lower shareholders’ equity to assets ratio than what the Corporation has historically reported.

The dividend payout ratio is determined by dividing the total dividends paid by net income for the year.  In 2004, the Corporation’s dividend payout ratio resulted in a yield-to-market price return comparable to the average dividend payout ratio of the Corporation’s peer group.

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average total earning assets.  Management believes the Corporation’s net interest margin ratio of 4.31% in 2004 compares favorably to the net interest margin ratio of other financial institutions in the Corporation’s peer group, which was 4.10% in 2004.

The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expenses by the sum of total non-interest income and net interest income for the year.  The efficiency ratio provides a measure of the extent to which the Corporation’s revenues are absorbed by its non-interest expenses.  Management believes the Corporation’s efficiency ratio of 58.55% in 2004 compares favorably to the weighted average efficiency ratio of other financial institutions in the Corporation’s peer group, which was 60.32% in 2004. 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned by the Corporation on its earning assets and the interest paid by the Corporation for the funds, primarily deposits, supporting those assets.  The largest category of the Corporation’s earning assets consists of loans to businesses and individuals.  The second largest category of the Corporation’s earning assets is investment securities.  Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and sources of funds supporting those assets, affect net interest income.  Interest rates primarily are determined by national and international market trends, as well as competitive pressures in the Corporation’s operating markets.  For analytical purposes, income from tax-exempt assets, which consists primarily of securities issued by or loans made to state and local governments, is adjusted by an increment which equates income from tax-exempt assets to income from taxable assets.

Net interest income (tax equivalent) for 2004 was $37.5 million, which represented an increase of $6.3 million, or 20.0%, compared to 2003.  The net increase in net interest income in 2003 reflected a $8.3 million increase in interest income which was offset by a $2.0 million increase in interest expense. 

The increases in interest income and interest expense in 2004 were due to significant increases (partly attributable to ANB) in the Corporation’s loans and deposits which offset decreases in the Corporation’s yield on earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities.  The yield on earning assets decreased to 5.40% for 2004 from 5.54% for 2003, and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.49% for 2004 from 1.50% for 2003.  These decreases resulted in the net interest margin decreasing to 4.31% in 2004 from 4.48% for 2003.  The decreases reflect the maturities of earning assets and time deposits originated in prior periods when market rates were higher.   Market rates began increasing during the second quarter of 2004, as measured by the increase in the average prime rate from 2003 to 2004 (as published by the Wall Street Journal) of 21 basis points.

The increase in net interest income for 2004 was primarily due to the 28.4% growth in average loans and the 20.9% growth in average deposits during the same period, which offset the 17 basis point decline in net interest margin between the years of 2004 and 2003.  Average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percent of average total deposits increased to 28.9% in 2004 from 28.4% in 2003.

14


Net interest income (tax equivalent) for 2003 was $31.2 million, which represented an increase of $1.0 million, or 3.3%, compared to 2002.  The net increase in net interest income in 2003 reflected a $0.1 million decrease in interest income which was offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense. 

The decreases in interest income and interest expense in 2003 were primarily due to decreases in the Corporation’s yield on earning assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities.  The yield on earning assets decreased to 5.54% for 2003 from 6.15% for 2002, and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.50% for 2003 from 1.91% for 2002.  These decreases resulted in the net interest margin decreasing to 4.48% in 2003 from 4.80% for 2002.  The decreases in the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities reflect the decline in market rates from 2002 to 2003, as measured by the decline in average prime rates over the same period (as published by the Wall Street Journal) of 55 basis points.

The increase in net interest income for 2003 was primarily due to the 8.9% growth in average loans and the 8.2% growth in average deposits during the same period, which offset the 32 basis point decline in net interest margin.  Average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percent of average total deposits increased to 28.4% in 2003 from 27.9% in 2002.

Summary of Earning Assets and Interest-Bearing Liabilities    

Although the year-end detail provides satisfactory indicators of general trends, management believes the daily average balance sheets are more meaningful for analytical purposes than year-end data because averages reflect the day-to-day fluctuations that are common to bank balance sheets.  Average balances for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities also can be related directly to the components of interest income and interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.  This data provides the basis for analyzing rates earned and paid as well as sources of increases and decreases in net interest income as derived from changes in volumes and rates.  The following table presents average balance sheets for the most recent three years in a format that highlights the Corporation’s earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities over such periods:

Loan interest income includes fees and loan volumes include loans on non-accrual.  The loan fees include loan origination fees which are considered adjustments to interest income.  These fees aggregated $1,469,000,  $1,248,000, and $1,097,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.  Related loan origination costs are not separately allocated to loans, but are charged to non-interest expense.  For the purpose of calculating loan yields, average loan balances include non-accrual loans with no related interest income.

 

 

(2)

Presented on a tax equivalent basis (“T/E”) using a federal income tax rate of 34% in all three years.

Net interest margin was 4.31% for 2004, which represented a decrease of 17 basis points from 2003.  This decrease in net interest margin in 2004 reflected a 14 basis point decrease in yield on earning assets from 2003 to 2004, which was offset by a 1 basis point decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 2003 to 2004.  The decrease in net interest margin also reflected less earned income from the Corporation’s investment in earning assets that are funded by its non-interest fundings (demand deposits and shareholders’ equity) in 2004 compared to 2003 due to the lower interest rate environment during this period.    

Net interest margin was 4.48% for 2003, which represented a decrease of 32 basis points from 2002.  This decrease in net interest margin in 2003 reflected a 61 basis point decrease in yield on earning assets from 2002 to 2003, which was offset by a 41 basis point decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 2002 to 2003.  The decrease in net interest margin also reflected less earned income from the Corporation’s investment in earning assets that are funded by its non-interest fundings (demand deposits and shareholders’ equity) in 2003 compared to 2002 due to the lower interest rate environment during this period. 

16


If market rates increase during 2005, management expects that the net interest margin would increase from 2004 levels.

In the event that the Corporation’s average loans continue to grow during 2005 and the Corporation is unable to fund any such growth through the generation of additional deposits, the Corporation may be required to obtain funding from secondary sources, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank, which could have a negative impact on its net interest margin as compared to funding from deposits.

The table below analyzes the increase in net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2004.  Non-accruing loans have been included in assets for these computations, thereby reducing yields on total loans.  The changes in interest due to both rate and volume in the rate/volume analysis table below have been allocated to volume or rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.

Net interest income for 2004 increased $6.3 million, or 20.0%, compared to 2003.  In this same period, total interest income increased 21.5% and total interest expense increased 27.8%, primarily due to significant increases in average loan and deposit volumes, partly attributable to ANB.  The increase in net interest income in 2004 was achieved, despite the decline in the net interest margin, due to the 28.4% growth in average loans and the 20.9% growth in average deposits over 2003. 

Net interest income for 2003 increased $1.0 million, or 3.3%, compared to 2002.  In this same period, total interest income decreased 0.2% and total interest expense decreased 12.6%, primarily due to declines in market interest rates.  The increase in net interest income in 2003 was achieved, despite the decline in market rates, due to the 8.9% growth in average loans and the 8.2% growth in average deposits over 2002. 

Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income is an important contributor to net income.  The major component of the Corporation’s non-interest income is various charges and fees earned by the Corporation on deposit accounts and related services.  The following table summarizes the changes in non-interest income during the past three years (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest income for 2004 was $7.2 million, which represented an increase of $1.2 million, or 20.1%, compared to 2003.  $1.0 million of this increase was attributable to the additions of branches acquired from ANB.  In addition, service charges on deposits from existing locations increased in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in insufficient funds charges on deposit accounts.  The non-recurring income in 2004 resulted from the gain of $167,000 on the sale of an asset previously carried in Other Assets and a gain of $37,000 on the partial sale of land carried in Premises and Equipment that was previously held for future branch expansion.  The increase in other non-interest income in 2004 was primarily due to increases in income from debit card and ATM fees, printed check fees, trust fees, interest recovered on loans previously on non-accrual, gains on sales of student loans and insurance sales commissions.  Insurance

17


sales commissions were derived from SIA and totaled $72,000 in 2004. The increase in printed check fees was due to a contractual rebate received from a new check provider.  These increases were partially offset by declines in mortgage brokerage fees which declined during 2004 primarily as a result of a reduction in mortgage re-financings due to rising rates in the latter half of 2004 and a decline in letter of credit fees which were lower in 2004 due to the loss of a significant relationship during 2003.  The Corporation derived $336,000 of revenues in 2004 from the sale of investment brokerage services which was less than that recorded in 2003 primarily due to revenue lost in 2004 due to the merger of several banks in Tarrant County involving banks that were previously investment services customers.

Non-interest income for 2003 was $6.0 million, which represented an increase of $0.6 million, or 10.3%, compared to 2002.  Service charges on deposits increased in 2003 primarily as a result of an increase in insufficient funds charges on deposit accounts and an increase in account analysis income on commercial accounts due to the reduction in the earnings credit rate on those accounts.  The increase in other non-interest income in 2003 was primarily due to an increase in income from ATM fees, mortgage brokerage fees and insurance sales commissions.  Mortgage brokerage fees increased during 2003 primarily as a result of the low interest rate environment and its impact on new mortgage originations and mortgage re-financings.  Insurance sales commissions were derived from SIA and totaled $35,000 in 2003.  The Corporation derived $419,000 of revenues in 2003 from the sale of investment brokerage services.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense includes all expenses of the Corporation other than interest expense, the provision for loan losses and income tax expense.  The following table summarizes the changes in the non-interest expenses for the past three years (dollars in thousands):

Total non-interest expense increased $4.7 million, or 22.1%, in 2004 over 2003 reflecting increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, legal and professional fees, item processing expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.  Total non-interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 17.2%, in 2003 over 2002 reflecting increases in salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, insurance expenses, supplies expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.  As a percent of average assets, total non-interest expenses were 2.83%, 2.90% and 2.74% in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 

The increase in salaries and employee benefits for both years of 2004 and 2003 were due to salary merit increases, additions to staff, employee bonus expenses and increases in the cost of employee insurance.  In addition, $1.3 million of the increase in salaries and benefits for 2004 was attributable to the addition of the ANB staff.  In 2004 and 2003, the bonus expense was $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  The average number of full-time equivalent employees increased in 2004 and 2003 by 31.2 and 11.6, respectively, to an average full-time equivalent staff of 244.3 and 213.1, respectively.  At year-end 2004, the full-time equivalent staff was 254 as compared to 225 at the same time of 2003.  The impact of the ANB acquisition on 2004 full-time equivalent staff represented an increase of 23.9 on the full year average and 31 to the year end total.

Occupancy expenses increased in 2004 due to the addition of the ANB locations, which added $0.3 million to this expense, the addition of the Euless branch facility and a full year of expenses related to the facility leased in May 2003 to house the Corporation’s administrative, credit and data processing departments as well as the Hulen branch personnel.  The increase in occupancy expense in 2003 was due to the addition of two new branch facilities and the relocation and centralization of the support groups previously mentioned into a new facility which was leased beginning in May 2003.  Rental expense for the Corporation has increased each year from 2002 to 2004, increasing from nearly $0.6 million in 2002 to $1.0 million in 2003 and $1.1 million in 2004 due to the added facilities mentioned above.

18


The increase in equipment expense in 2004 was primarily related to an increase in depreciation expense due to a 11.0% increase in average furniture and equipment assets during 2004.  The increase in 2004 was also attributable to the ANB acquisition which added $0.3 million to furniture and equipment assets plus the facility for the support functions mentioned above.  The increase in equipment expense in 2003 was primarily related to an increase in depreciation expense due to a 62.7% increase in furniture and equipment assets during 2003.  The increase in 2003 also included the full year impact of the investment in new hardware and software related to a core system data processing conversion made in October 2002, the cost of equipment added in new branches and the new facility for the support functions mentioned above and the cost of a new telephone system.

The increase in the amortization of core deposit intangibles during 2004 was related to the ANB acquisition.  As discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a premium of $10.7 million was paid in connection with the acquisition of ANB, $2.7 million of which was identified as core deposit intangible.  The core deposit intangibles will be amortized over their estimated useful life of 8 years using a straight line method.

Legal and professional fees increased significantly in 2004 compared to the prior year as a result of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other corporate governance functions plus the cost of consultants related to compensation and asset-liability management issues.

Item processing expenses increased in 2004 over 2003 due to the addition of ANB and the conversion to a new internet banking system.  These expenses increased in 2003 compared to 2002 as a result of the full year impact of the October 2002 core data processing system conversion.

Insurance expense increased in 2003 primarily due to the additional cost of directors and officers liability insurance which increased $50,000 over the cost of this insurance in 2002. 

The increase in supplies expense in 2003 was related to the initial starting cost of the Davis and Hulen branches and new forms required due to the centralization of departments to a new facility.

The increase in other miscellaneous expenses in 2004 was primarily due to ANB which added $188,000 of expense in this category (primarily ATM, loan collection and telephone expenses).  The increase in other miscellaneous expense in 2003 was due to a $319,000 insurance settlement received during 2002 related to other foreclosed assets.

Federal Income Tax Expense.  The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of tax expense.  The Corporation expensed $5,851,000, $5,017,000 and $4,846,000 for federal income taxes for the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  These amounts resulted in an effective tax rate of 35.0% for 2004, 34.0% for 2003 and 34.2% for 2002. 

Investment Securities.  The following table presents the consolidated investment securities portfolio at amortized cost as of December 31, 2004, all of which are classified as Available-for-Sale (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of this designation), by stated maturity and with the weighted average interest yield for each range of maturities.  The yields on tax-exempt obligations are computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis using statutory rates for federal income taxes.

The yield on the investment securities portfolio of the Corporation at December 31, 2004 was 3.80% and the weighted average life of the portfolio on that date was approximately 3.0 years.  At December 31, 2003, the yield of the portfolio was 3.98% and the weighted average life was approximately 3.7 years.  The average life of the portfolio decreased during 2004 as a significant amount of mortgage backed securities were sold during the year due to the rise in market rates in the last half of the year and the related negative impact on the market values of these securities.  Mortgage backed securities typically have a longer life than the other types of securities within the portfolio.  As of December 31, 2004, there was a net unrealized loss of $719,000 in the portfolio, or (0.3)% of the amortized cost of those securities.

The preceding loan distribution table reflects that total loans increased $148.9 million, or 26.9%, from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, and $84.6 million, or 18.0%, from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003.  Although these dollar increases were significant, the Corporation is continuing to apply stringent credit criteria on all loan applications.  At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, loans represented 88.7%, 86.3% and 80.6%, respectively, of deposits, reflecting a somewhat slower growth in deposits compared to loans over these periods.  For the years 2004, 2003 and 2002, average loans represented 88.0%, 82.9% and 82.3%, respectively, of average deposits.

The commercial loan customers of the Corporation are primarily small to medium-sized businesses and professionals and executives.  The Corporation offers a variety of commercial loan products that include revolving lines of credit, letters of credit, working capital loans and loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  Generally, these commercial loans have floating rates of interest with terms of maturity of three years or less.

A significant portion of the Corporation’s commercial real estate mortgage portfolio in 2004 and 2003 represented loans to finance owner-occupied real estate.  The growth in 2004 and 2003 was partially attributable to significant new customer relationships formed during those years.  At December 31, 2004 and 2003, $145.4 million and $109.1 million of loans, respectively and approximately 64.7% and 68.6%, respectively, of the commercial real estate mortgage portfolio, had been made for this purpose.  At both December 31, 2004 and 2003, approximately 52% of the loans in the commercial real estate mortgage portfolio have variable rates of interest with a significant portion of the remaining portfolio having balloon terms of five to seven years and/or rate adjustment clauses.

Real estate construction loans are made primarily to finance construction of single family residences in the Corporation’s market area of Tarrant County, Texas.  Construction loans generally are secured by first liens on real estate and have floating interest rates.  The Corporation’s lending activities in this area are primarily with borrowers that have been in the building trade for many years and with which the Corporation has long standing relationships.  The Corporation’s lending officers meet quarterly with consultants that track the residential building activities within the market.  The Corporation adjusts its construction lending activities based on the trends of housing starts and absorption rates in the market.

20


The Corporation also lends to consumers for purchases of various consumer goods, such as automobiles and boats, and for home improvements.  The terms of these loans typically are five years or less and are well secured with liens on products purchased or other assets.  These loans are primarily made to customers who have other relationships with the Corporation.  The Corporation does not issue credit cards and does not have any credit card loans outstanding.

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Corporation had no concentration, by Standard Industrial Classification Code, in any single industry that exceeded 10% of total loans at such dates.

The following table presents commercial loans and real estate construction loans at December 31, 2004, based on scheduled principal repayments and the total amount of loans due after one year classified according to sensitivity to changes in interest rates (in thousands):

Of the loans maturing after one year, all have fixed rates of interest, with many having rate adjustment clauses during the remaining term of the loan that allow for periodic adjustments to rates.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  Each loan carried by the Corporation involves some degree of inherent risk.  This risk is reflected in the consolidated financial statements through the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses. 

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb future charge-offs of existing loans that may become uncollectible.  Loans, or portions thereof, are charged against the allowance when management believes that full collection of the principal and interest is unlikely, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance when received.  Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are reported in the period during which such adjustments become known or are reasonably estimable.

The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to income in the form of a provision for loan losses when it is probable that all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.  The amount of the provision for loan losses is a reflection of management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and is based upon management’s evaluation of a number of factors, including past loan loss experience, current and projected economic conditions, delinquency ratios and management’s review of the value of discounted cash flows associated with impaired loans.

The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosure.” These standards specify how allowances for certain impaired loans should be determined and the accounting for in-substance foreclosures.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses in 2004 from 2003 resulted from the increase in provision for loan loss expense which primarily reflected the growth in total loans plus the increase in net charge-offs in 2004 from 2003.  In addition, the allowance for loan losses acquired in the ANB acquisition contributed to the growth in the balance of the allowance as of December 31, 2004.  Asset quality remained strong (in part due to the performance of the Chief Credit Officer who is responsible for monitoring loan quality by ensuring that the quality is sustained, that individual loans perform as agreed and that the Bank receives an appropriate return for the risk in the portfolio) and the local economy continued to improve.

The decrease in provision for loan losses in 2003 from 2002 primarily reflected a continued improvement in asset quality, improvement in the local economy and a higher loan charge-off rate in 2002 compared to 2003.

The allocations are comprised of specific allocations that are determined by providing specific reserves against each loan that is “criticized” (as defined on page 30 under “Critical Accounting Policies”) as being weak, plus a general allocation against the remaining balance of the portfolio based on experience factors.  Management of the Corporation believes that the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2004 is adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio.  There can be no assurance that the Corporation will not sustain loan losses in future periods which could be substantial in relation to, or exceed, the size of the current allowance.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any loan.

Non-Performing Assets.  Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans, other real estate and other foreclosed assets.  Non-accrual loans are those on which the accrual of interest has been suspended and on which the interest is recorded as earned when it is received.  Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not both well-secured and in the process of collection, or immediately, if in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is doubtful.  At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously recorded but not collected is reversed and charged against current interest income.

Renegotiated loans are loans on which the interest and/or the principal have been reduced due to a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition.  Even though these loans are actually performing, they are included in non-performing assets because of the loss of revenue related to the reduction of interest and/or principal.

Other real estate is real estate acquired through foreclosure or through partial settlement of debts and which is awaiting sale and disposition.  At the time of acquisition, other real estate is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs or the loan balance or settlement agreement with any write-down charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Any further write-downs, expenses related to the property and any gain or loss resulting from the sale of the property are recorded in current operating expenses.

Other foreclosed assets are other types of collateral (such as autos, shares of stock and equipment) acquired through foreclosure or through partial settlement of debts which are awaiting sale and disposition.  At the time of acquisition, other foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs or the loan balance or settlement agreement with any write-down charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Any further write-downs, expenses related to the asset and any gain or loss resulting from the sale of the asset are recorded in current operating expenses.

The Corporation is required, by regulatory authorities, to have other real estate and other foreclosed assets evaluated periodically.  In the event the new evaluation value is less than the carrying value of the property, the excess is written off to expense.  Some properties or foreclosed assets are written down below their evaluation values when management believes the economic value has declined below the evaluation value.

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2004, were comprised of $1,841,000 in commercial loans, $469,000 in real estate mortgages, $119,000 in interim construction loans and $158,000 in consumer loans.  Of the total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2004 of $2,587,000, $1,190,000 was SBA guaranteed.  There was no Other Real Estate and Other Foreclosed Assets as of December 31, 2004. 

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003, were comprised of $1,763,000 in commercial loans, $388,000 in real estate mortgages, $65,000 in interim construction loans and $135,000 in consumer loans.   Of the total non-accrual loans at December 31, 2003 of $2,351,000, $964,000 was SBA guaranteed.  There was no Other Real Estate and Other Foreclosed Assets as of December 31, 2003.

Loans are graded on a system similar to that used by the banking industry regulators (as described on page 30 under “Critical Accounting Policies”).  In addition to the above grading system, the Corporation maintains a separate “watch list” which further aids the Corporation in monitoring loan quality.  Watch list loans show warning elements where the present status portrays one or more deficiencies that require attention in the short run or where pertinent ratios of the loan account have weakened to a point where more frequent monitoring is warranted.

Non-accrual loans normally include weaker Substandard loans and loans that are considered to be Doubtful (which are defined later in this section).

An independent third party loan review was completed in late 2004.  In addition, a regulatory examination was completed in early 2004.  Based on the findings of these reviews and exams, management considers the loan portfolio to be adequately reserved.

Criticized loans (loans classified as OAEM, Substandard or Doubtful as noted on page 30) have increased since 2000.  A significant portion of this year-over-year increase is due to enhanced classification procedures and the performance of the Chief Credit Officer employed by the Corporation in the third quarter of 2001 to assist in monitoring loan quality.  In addition, $3.4 million of the increase in criticized loans from 2003 to 2004 is attributable to criticized loans within the ANB portfolio.  Our aggressiveness in recognizing any weakness in our borrowers is the primary reason for the increase in criticized loans year-over-year since 2000.  The Corporation remains diligent in its efforts to identify any loan that might reflect weakness of the borrower as soon as possible.  Management is not aware of any potential loan problems that have not been disclosed to which serious doubts exist as to the ability of the borrower to substantially comply with the present repayment terms and the Corporation does not anticipate any significant losses from these downgraded credits.

Deposits.  The primary source of the Corporation’s funds is deposits.  The majority of the Corporation’s deposits are considered “core” deposits.  Core deposits are those that are not subject to material changes due to customer withdrawal because of market rate changes.  Average demand deposits increased $39.7 million, or 23.0%, from 2003 to 2004, and increased $15.9 million, or 10.1%, from 2002 to 2003.  Demand deposits from the acquired ANB locations added $19.5 million to the 2004 average.  Average demand deposits represented 28.9% and 28.4% of average total deposits during 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Average interest-bearing deposits increased $87.6 million, or 20.1%, from 2003 to 2004, and increased $30.3 million, or 7.5%, from 2002 to 2003.  Interest-bearing deposits from the ANB locations added $47.7 million to the 2004 average.  The deposit types’ daily average balance and related average rates paid during each of the last three years are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The shift, reflected in the above table, toward longer maturities from 2002 to 2004 is due to the Corporation paying a premium on certificates of deposit with three year maturities to offset some of the loan growth with similar maturities during this period.

Also, the Corporation has available a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”), which allows it to borrow on a collateralized basis at a fixed term.  The borrowings are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all first mortgage loans (which totaled $183.4 million at December 31, 2004), the FHLB capital stock owned by the Corporation and any funds on deposit with the FHLB.  At December 31, 2004, $60.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit at an average rate of 2.11%, $40.0 million of which matures during 2005 and $20.0 million of which matures in April 2006.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Corporation had average borrowings of $67.7 million under this line of credit with the FHLB.  The increase in FHLB borrowings in 2004 coincided with the significant increase in loans during the year.  At December 31, 2003, the Corporation had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at an average rate of 1.52%, $45.0 million of which matured during 2004 and $5.0 million of which matures in April 2005.

In addition, from time to time the Corporation purchases Federal Funds from correspondent banks to meet periodic liquidity needs.

Notes Payable.  On September 15, 2004, the Corporation obtained a line of credit from a bank under which the Corporation may borrow $10.0 million at a floating rate (three month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%).  The line of credit is secured by stock of the Bank and matures on September 15, 2005, whereupon, if balances are outstanding, the line converts to a term note having a five year term.  The Corporation will not pay a fee for any unused portion of the line.  At December 31, 2004, $1.75 million had been borrowed under this line.  The rate on this line at December 31, 2004 was 4.02%.  The purpose of the line was to provide an additional liquidity source and the current amount outstanding was used to help fund the acquisition of ANB.

Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures.  On May 3, 2004, the Corporation formed SBI Trust and SBI Trust subsequently issued $12.0 million of floating rate (three month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.65%) Capital Securities (the “Trust Capital Securities”).  Concurrent with the issuance of the Trust Capital Securities, SBI Trust issued trust common securities to the Corporation in the aggregate liquidation value of $372,000.  The proceeds of the issuance of the Trust Capital Securities and trust common securities were invested in the Corporation’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures (the “Deferrable Debentures”), which mature on July 7, 2034 and have a call feature that permits the Corporation to redeem any or all of the securities after July 7, 2009.  The interest rate on the Deferrable Debentures at December 31, 2004 was 4.72%.  The Deferrable Debentures, which are the only assets of SBI Trust, are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture dated May 3, 2004) of the Corporation.

26


Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Commitments, Guarantees and Contractual Obligations.  In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets.  The Corporation enters into these transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. 

The Corporation enters into contractual loan commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes.  Substantially all of the Corporation’s commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding.  The Corporation minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.  Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance for possible loan losses. 

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Corporation would be required to fund the commitment.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Corporation could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment.  If the commitment is funded, the Corporation would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer.  The Corporation’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements. 

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands).  Payments for borrowings do not include interest.  Payments related to leases are based on actual payments specified in the underlying contracts.  Loan commitments and standby letters of credit are presented at contractual amounts; however, since many of these commitments are expected to expire unused or only partially used, the total amounts of these commitments do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

Interest Rate Sensitivity.  The objectives of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk of the balance sheet are to contribute to earnings by minimizing adverse changes in net interest income as a result of changes in the direction and level of interest rates and to provide liquidity to satisfy cash flow requirements to meet customers’ fluctuating demands.

Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in the market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities.

An asset-sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets than liabilities being subject to repricing; therefore, market interest-rate changes will be reflected more quickly in asset rates.  If interest rates decline, such a position will have an adverse effect on net interest income.  Conversely, in a liability-sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a decline in market rates will benefit net interest income.

A mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in which relatively equal volumes reprice each period represents a matched interest sensitivity “GAP” position; any excess of these assets or liabilities results in an interest sensitive GAP.

In the preceding table under the “Repriced after 1 Year or Non-Rate Sensitive” category, $105.4 million in investment securities will reprice or mature within one to three years and another $73.0 million will reprice or mature within three to five years.  The average maturity of the investment portfolio is approximately 3.0 years.  Also, the above table reflects the call dates versus maturity dates and periodic principal amortization of investment securities.

The preceding static GAP report reflects a cumulative liability sensitive position during the one year horizon.  An inherent weakness of this report is that it ignores the relative volatility any one category may have in relation to other categories or market rates in general.  For instance, the rate paid on certain interest-bearing transaction accounts typically adjusts less quickly than the three month T-Bill.  Management attempts to capture this relative volatility by utilizing a simulation model with a “beta factor” adjustment which estimates the volatility of rate sensitive assets and/or liabilities in relation to other market rates.

Beta factors are an estimation of the long term, multiple interest rate environment relation between an individual account and market rates in general.  For instance, NOW, savings and money market accounts, which are repriceable within 30 days will have considerably lower beta factors than variable rate loans and most investment categories.  Taking this into consideration, it is quite possible for a bank with a negative cumulative GAP to total asset ratio to have a positive “beta adjusted” GAP risk position.  As a result of applying the beta factors established by the Corporation’s management to the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in the static GAP report via a simulation model, the Corporation’s cumulative GAP to total assets ratio at one year of (3.98%) was reversed to a positive 28.67% “beta adjusted” GAP position.  Management feels that the “beta adjusted” GAP risk technique more accurately reflects the Corporation’s GAP position. 

In addition to GAP analysis, the Corporation uses an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet, respectively.  Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio.  Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for non-maturity deposit accounts.  Based on the December 31, 2004 simulation analysis, it is estimated that a 100 basis point rise in interest rates over the next 12 month period would have an impact of approximately a 7.0% increase on net interest income for the period, while a 100 basis point decline in interest rates over the same period would have an impact of approximately an (8.1%) decrease on net interest income for the period.  These varying results are primarily a product of the manner in which interest rates on demand, money market and savings deposits change.  The Corporation has found that historically, interest rates on these deposits change more slowly in a rising rate environment than in a declining rate environment.  This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a GAP analysis.  The analysis does not contemplate any actions that the Corporation might undertake in response to changes in market interest rates.  Accordingly, this analysis is not intended to be and does not provide a forecast of the effect actual changes in market rates will have on the Corporation.

Capital Resources.  At December 31, 2004, shareholders’ equity totaled $74.5 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 8.5%, compared to 2003. This increase reflected an increase in retained earnings offset by the impact of dividends and repurchases of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.  In 2004, the Corporation repurchased 47,766 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of $0.7 million.  At December 31, 2003, shareholders’ equity totaled $68.7 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 5.8%, compared to 2002.  This increase reflected an increase in retained earnings offset by the impact of dividends and repurchases of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation.  In 2003, the Corporation repurchased 86,276 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of $1.0 million.  The ability of the Corporation to repurchase shares of Common Stock is subject to various banking laws, regulations and policies as well as rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Corporation and the Bank are subject to capital adequacy guidelines established by the FRB and other regulatory authorities.  See “Business - The Corporation - Capital Adequacy Requirements,” “Business - The Bank - Capital Adequacy Requirements” and Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding levels of required capital and risk weighted assets and other information relating to the capital adequacy guidelines.  The table below illustrates the Corporation’s and the Bank’s compliance with the capital adequacy guidelines as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands):

The Corporation had an unrealized loss on Available-for-Sale securities, net of deferred tax benefit, of $0.5 million at December 31, 2004 and an unrealized gain on Available-for-Sale securities, net of deferred taxes, of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2003.  Under regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on Available-for-Sale securities is not included in the calculation of risk-based capital.   The decline in the percentages between the years is primarily due to the growth in loans as a percent of assets during 2004.  Loans are generally classified in the 100% risk category for the purpose of these calculations.

As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Corporation and the Bank exceeded the risk-based capital and leverage requirements set by regulatory authorities and satisfied the criteria for classification as a “well capitalized” institution under the rules of FDICIA.  See Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these classifications.

Liquidity.  Liquidity is defined as the Corporation’s ability to meet deposit withdrawals, provide for the legitimate credit needs of customers and take advantage of certain investment opportunities as they arise.  While maintaining adequate liquid assets to fulfill these functions, it must also maintain compatible levels of maturity and rate concentrations between its sources of funds and earning assets.  The liability structure of the Corporation is short-term in nature and the asset structure is likewise oriented towards short maturities.

The Corporation’s primary “internal” sources of liquidity consist of the federal funds that it sells and its portfolio of marketable investment securities, particularly those with shorter maturities.  Federal funds sold and investment securities maturing within 30 days represented $15.3 million, or 1.5%, of total assets as of December 31, 2004.  Additionally, the Corporation’s ability to sell loan participations, purchase federal funds and obtain advances from the FHLB serve as secondary sources of liquidity.  The Bank has approved federal funds lines at other banks.

29


The Corporation has available a line of credit with the FHLB that allows it to borrow on a collateralized basis at a fixed term.  At December 31, 2004, $60.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under this line of credit at an average rate of 2.11%, $40.0 million of which matures during 2005 and $20.0 million of which matures in April 2006.  In addition, on September 15, 2004, the Corporation obtained a line of credit from a bank under which the Corporation may borrow $10.0 million at a floating rate.  At December 31, 2004, $1.75 million had been borrowed under this line and the rate on this line was 4.02%.

On May 3, 2004, SBI Trust issued $12.0 million of Trust Capital Securities as well as trust common securities in the aggregate liquidation value of $372,000.  The proceeds from the issuance of these securities were invested in the Deferrable Debentures of the Corporation, which mature on July 7, 2034 and have a call feature that permits the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Deferrable Debentures after July 7, 2009.  At December 31, 2004, the interest rate on the Deferrable Debentures was 4.72%.

The liquidity of the Corporation is enhanced by the fact that 89.9% of its total deposits at December 31, 2004 were “core” deposits.  For this purpose, core deposits are defined as total deposits less public funds and certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.  Also, the Corporation’s loan to deposit ratio averaged 88.0% for the year.

In the event that the Corporation’s average loans continue to grow during 2005 and the Corporation is unable to fund such growth through the generation of additional deposits, the Corporation may be required to obtain funding from secondary sources, including purchasing federal funds, obtaining advances from the FHLB or other secondary sources.  In such event, the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

The Corporation’s income, which provides funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders and for other corporate purposes, is derived from its investment in the Bank. 

Impact of Inflation.  The effects of inflation on the local economy and on the Corporation’s operating results have been relatively modest for the past several years.  Since substantially all of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, such as cash, investments, loans and deposits, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates, which do not necessarily change in accordance with inflation rates.  The Corporation attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities.

Related Party Transactions.  The Bank has made transactions in the ordinary course of business with certain of its and the Corporation’s officers, directors and their affiliates.  All loans included in such transactions are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and all loans are current as to principal and interest payments.  Total loans outstanding to such parties amounted to approximately $8,537,000 at December 31, 2004 and $9,389,000 at December 31, 2003. 

Subsequent Events.  On December 31, 2004, the Corporation effected a two-for-one stock split payable in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2004.  On January 18, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share to be paid on February 14, 2005 to shareholders of record on January 28, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies.  The Corporation’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition.  The Corporation has identified its policy with respect to allowance for loan losses as critical because it requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  The Corporation, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has reviewed and approved this critical accounting policy, which is further described under the caption “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing assessment of the potential losses inherent in its loan portfolio based on evaluations of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, current loan portfolio quality, present and future economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses generally associated with bank lending inherent in its current loan portfolio.  In making these evaluations, management and the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors take into account past loan loss experience, delinquency ratios and the analysis of third party loan review specialists. 

The allocation of the allowance is determined by providing specific reserves against each loan that is “criticized” as being weak plus a general allocation against the remaining balance of the portfolio based on experience factors.  The loans are graded on a system similar to that used by the banking industry regulators.  The first level of criticized loans is “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (OAEM).  These loans are fundamentally sound but have potential weaknesses which may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date.  The second level is “Substandard,” which are loans inadequately protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity or pledged collateral of the borrower.  The last level of criticized loans, before they are charged-off, is “Doubtful.”  Doubtful loans are considered to have inherent weaknesses because collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable.  The general allocation is based upon the Corporation’s loss experience over a period of years and is adjusted for subjective factors such as economic trends, performance trends and concentrations of credit.  At December 31, 2004, the general allocation rate of the allowance was .93%.

30


These evaluations are inherently subjective because, even though they are based on objective data, it is management’s interpretation of that data that determines the amount of the appropriate allowance.  Therefore, from time to time (but at least quarterly), management reviews the actual performance and write-off history of the loan portfolio and compares that to previously determined allowance coverage percentages.  In this manner, management evaluates the impact the previously mentioned variables may have had on the loan portfolio to determine which changes, if any, should be made to the assumptions and analyses.  Recent analysis has indicated that projections of estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio has approximated actual write-off experience during the current economic environment.

Actual results could differ materially from estimates as a result of changes in economic or market conditions and other factors.  Changes in the Corporation’s evaluations and the assumptions underlying these evaluations could result in a material change in the allowance.  While the Corporation believes that the allowance for loan losses has been established and maintained at levels adequate to reflect the risks inherent in the loan portfolio, future increases may be necessary if economic or market conditions and other factors differ substantially from the conditions that existed at the time of the initial determinations.

Factors That May Affect Future Results.  This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements concerning the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The forward-looking statements are based upon management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events.  Such expectations and assumptions have been expressed in good faith, and management believes that there is a reasonable basis for them.

A number of risks and uncertainties could cause the Corporation’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

 

changes in, or the effects of, competition for the Corporation’s products and services;

 

 

 

 

the Corporation’s ability to effectively manage interest rate risk and other market, credit and operation risks;

 

 

 

 

the Corporation’s ability to develop competitive new products and services in a timely manner and the acceptance of such products and services by the Corporation’s customers and potential customers;

 

 

 

 

the costs and effects of litigation involving the Corporation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation;

 

 

 

 

the Corporation’s ability to successfully integrate, and to achieve anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements with respect to, acquired businesses and operations;

 

 

 

 

the Corporation’s ability to attract and retain key employees;

 

 

 

 

changes in general local, regional and international economic conditions;

 

 

 

 

changes in, or the effects of, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations, including interest rate policies, of the FRB and other regulatory authorities;

 

 

 

 

changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and savings habits;

 

 

 

 

changes in laws, regulations and policies applicable to the Corporation; and

 

 

 

 

political instability and acts of war or terrorism.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Summit Bancshares, Inc.
Fort Worth, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2004.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Summit Bancshares, Inc. at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Summit Bancshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting

The management of the Corporation is responsible for the preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, related financial data and other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s estimates and judgment where appropriate.  Financial information appearing throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

In meeting its responsibility both for the integrity and fairness of these financial statements and information, management depends on the accounting systems and related internal accounting controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurances that transactions are authorized and recorded in accordance with established procedures and that assets are safeguarded and that proper and reliable records are maintained.

The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal controls should not exceed the related benefits.  As an integral part of the system of internal controls, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries retains independent auditors who monitor compliance with, and evaluate the effectiveness of, the Corporation’s system of internal controls and coordinates audit coverage with the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of directors independent of management of the Corporation, meets regularly with management, regulatory examiners, internal auditors, the loan review consultants and independent auditors to discuss financial reporting matters, internal controls, regulatory reports, internal auditing and the nature, scope and results of audit efforts.  The banking regulators, internal auditors and independent auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P., independent auditors, who render an independent opinion on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.  The appointment of Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P. has been approved by the Audit Committee.  Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P.’s audit provides an additional assessment of the degree to which the Corporation’s management meets its responsibility for financial reporting.  The opinion of Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P. on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements is based on auditing procedures, which include its consideration of the internal control structure and performance of selected tests of transactions and records, as it deems appropriate.  These auditing procedures are designed to provide an additional reasonable level of assurance that the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in all material respects.

SUMMIT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Summit Bancshares, Inc. are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the prevailing practices within the banking industry.  A summary of the more significant policies follows:

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Summit Bancshares, Inc. (hereinafter, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Corporation”), include its accounts and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Summit Delaware Financial Corporation, Summit Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and SIA Insurance Agency, Inc. (“SIA”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. 

Cash and Due From Banks
The Bank is required to maintain certain non-interest-bearing cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank based on its level of deposits.  During 2004, the average cash balance maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank was approximately $2,218,000.  Compensating balances held at correspondent banks, to minimize service charges, averaged approximately $21,880,000 during the same period.

Investment Securities
The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” At the date of purchase, the Corporation is required to classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale.  At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed.  Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost in the financial statements only if management has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.  Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  Investments not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as available-for-sale and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized.

The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold to maturity its investment securities classified as held-to-maturity; accordingly, no adjustment has been made for the excess, if any, of amortized cost over market.  In determining the investment category classifications at the time of purchase of securities, management considers its asset/liability strategy, changes in interest rates and prepayment risk, the need to increase capital and other factors.  Under certain circumstances (including the deterioration of the issuer’s creditworthiness, a change in tax law, or statutory or regulatory requirements), the Corporation may change the investment security classification.  In the periods reported for 2004 and 2003, the Corporation held no securities that would have been classified as trading securities.

All investment securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded to income over the contractual maturity or estimated life of the individual investment on the level yield method.  Gain or loss on sale of investments is based upon the specific identification method and the gain or loss is recorded in non-interest income.  Income earned on the Corporation’s investments in state and political subdivisions is not taxable.

Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value.  The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding less unearned discount, deferred fees and the allowance for loan losses.  Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method approximating the interest method.  Interest income on all other loans is recognized based upon the principal amounts outstanding, the simple interest method.  Loan origination fee income, net of direct loan origination costs, is deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan.  The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is doubt about the ability of the borrower to pay interest or principal.  Interest previously earned, but uncollected on such loans, is written off.  After loans are placed on non-accrual, all payments received are applied to principal and no interest income is recorded until the loan is returned to accrual status or the principal has been reduced to zero.

The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure.”  Under this standard, the allowance for loan losses related to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with Statement No. 114 (impaired loans) is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.

39


NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

The allowance for loan losses is comprised of amounts charged against income in the form of a provision for loan losses for certain loans when it is probable that all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected.  In these situations, a reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.  Income on impaired loans is recognized based on the collectibility of the principal amount.  Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will be reported in the period such adjustments become known or are reasonably estimable.

The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s continuing assessment of the potential losses inherent in its loan portfolio based on its evaluation of a number of factors, including the Bank’s loss experience in relation to outstanding loans and the existing level of the allowance, prevailing and prospective economic conditions, and management’s continuing review of the discounted cash flow values of impaired loans and its evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.

The evaluation of the adequacy of loan collateral is often based upon estimates and appraisals.  Because of changing economic conditions, the valuations determined from such estimates and appraisals may also change.  Accordingly, the Corporation may ultimately incur losses which vary materially from management’s current estimates. 

Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to forty years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to non-interest expense.  Renewals and betterments are added to the asset accounts and depreciated over the periods benefited.  Depreciable assets sold or retired are removed from the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the income and expense accounts.

Other Real Estate
Other real estate is foreclosed property held pending disposition and is valued at the lower of its fair value or the recorded investment in the related loan.  At foreclosure, if the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, of the real estate acquired is less than the Corporation’s recorded investment in the related loan, a write-down is recognized through a charge to the allowance for loan losses.  Any subsequent reduction in value is recognized by a charge to income.  Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and gains and losses on their disposition are included in non-interest expense.

Federal Income Taxes
The Corporation joins with its subsidiaries in filing a consolidated federal income tax return.  The subsidiaries pay to the parent a charge equivalent to their current federal income tax based on the separate taxable income of the subsidiaries.

The Corporation and the subsidiaries maintain their records for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes on the accrual basis of accounting.  Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Deferred income taxes are provided for accumulated temporary differences due to basic differences for assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes.

Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be realized.  The amount of the net deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, clearings and exchanges, and balances due from correspondent banks. 

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2004 presentation.

Earnings Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (“SFAS 128”), “Earnings Per Share,” requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  Net income per common share for all periods presented has been calculated in accordance with SFAS 128.  Outstanding stock options issued by the Corporation represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Corporation accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the intrinsic value based method recommended by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  The impact on the financial statements of using this method is disclosed below. 

40


NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS 123”), requires pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share for companies not adopting its fair value accounting method for stock-based compensation.  The pro forma disclosures presented below use the fair value method of SFAS 123 to measure compensation expense for stock-based compensation plans.

The Corporation accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” under which no compensation cost has been recognized for options granted.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders’ equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners and treasury stock transactions.  Besides net income, the other component of the Corporation’s comprehensive income is the after tax effect of changes in the fair value of securities available-for-sale.  Comprehensive income for 2004, 2003 and 2002 is reported in Note 27, “Comprehensive Income.”

NOTE 2 – Acquisitions

On May 3, 2004, the Corporation completed its merger with ANB Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Arlington National Bank of Arlington, Texas (collectively, “ANB”).  Under the terms of the merger agreement with ANB, the Corporation acquired ANB for approximately $16.0 million in cash.  ANB was privately held and operated four (4) banking offices in Arlington, Texas.  On May 1, 2004, ANB had total assets of $89.0 million, loans of $59.4 million, deposits of $83.6 million and shareholder’s equity of $3.1 million.  This acquisition was partially funded through the formation of SBI Trust and its subsequent issuance of $12.0 million of its floating rate Capital Securities and $372,000 of trust common securities.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At December 31, 2004, the forty five securities with unrealized losses have depreciated 1.3% from the Corporation’s amortized cost basis.  These securities are guaranteed by either the U.S. Government or other governments.  These unrealized losses related principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.  As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

Loans are net of unearned income of $893,000 and $690,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the total recorded investment in loans on non-accrual amounted to $2,587,000 and $2,351,000, respectively, and the total recorded investment in loans past due ninety days and still accruing interest amounted to $19,000 and $55,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 was $1,826,000 and $1,623,000, respectively.  These loans were on non-accrual status.  The related allowance for loan losses for these loans was $154,000 and $343,000, respectively.  The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $1,661,000 and $1,621,000, respectively.  For 2004 and 2003, the Corporation recognized no interest income on any loan classified as impaired.

Loans on which accrued interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to approximately $2,587,000, $2,351,000 and $2,135,000 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  If interest on these loans had been recorded in accordance with their original terms such income would have approximated $221,000 for 2004, $162,000 for 2003 and $171,000 for 2002.  Interest income on those loans included in net income was $72,000 for 2004, $75,000 for 2003 and $99,000 for 2002.

NOTE 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting.  The Corporation has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142 (FAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  FAS 142 eliminates amortization of goodwill associated with business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.  Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.  The Corporation bases its evaluation on such impairment factors as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements, as well as other external market conditions or factors that may be present.  On May 3, 2004, the Corporation completed its acquisition of ANB.  A premium of $10.7 million was paid in connection with the acquisition of ANB, $2.7 million of which was identified as core deposit intangibles.  The remaining $8.0 million has been recorded as goodwill.  In accordance with FAS 142, the goodwill will not be amortized.  The core deposit intangibles are being amortized using a straight line method over their estimated useful life of 8 years.  Amortization expense of $219,000 has been recorded on the core deposit intangibles through December 31, 2004.

The Corporation has available a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which allows it to borrow on a collateralized basis at a fixed term.  The borrowings are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all first mortgage loans (which totaled $183.4 million at December 31, 2004), the FHLB capital stock owned by the Corporation and any funds on deposit with FHLB.  At December 31, 2004, $60.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit at an average rate of 2.11%, $40.0 million of which matures during 2005 and $20.0 million of which matures during 2006.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Corporation had average borrowings of $67.7 million.  The increase in FHLB borrowings in 2004 coincided with the significant increase in loans during the year.  At December 31, 2003, the Corporation had $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at an average rate of 1.52%, $45.0 million of which matured during 2004 and $5.0 million of which matures in April 2005.  For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Corporation had average borrowings of $30.5 million.

NOTE 10 – Notes Payable

On September 15, 2004, the Corporation obtained a line of credit from a bank under which the Corporation may borrow $10.0 million at a floating rate (three month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00%).  The line of credit is secured by stock of the Bank and matures on September 15, 2005, whereupon, if balances are outstanding, the line converts to a term note having a five year term.  The Corporation will not pay a fee for any unused portion of the line.  At December 31, 2004, $1.75 million had been borrowed under this line.  The rate on this line at December 31, 2004 was 4.02%.

NOTE 11 – Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures

          On May 3, 2004, the Corporation formed SBI Trust and SBI Trust subsequently issued $12.0 million of floating rate (three month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.65%) Capital Securities (the “Trust Capital Securities”).  Concurrent with the issuance of the Trust Capital Securities, SBI Trust issued trust common securities to the Corporation in the aggregate liquidation value of $372,000.  The proceeds of the issuance of the Trust Capital Securities and trust common securities were invested in the Corporation’s Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Debentures (the “Deferrable Debentures”), which mature on July 7, 2034 and have a call feature that permits the Corporation to redeem any or all of the securities after July 7, 2009.  The interest rate on the Deferrable Debentures at December 31, 2004 was 4.72%.  The Deferrable Debentures, which are the only assets of SBI Trust, are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture dated May 3, 2004) of the Corporation.

NOTE 15 - Stock Option Plans

The Corporation has two Incentive Stock Option Plans, the 1993 Plan and the 1997 Plan, (the “Plans”).  Each Plan has reserved 1,200,000 shares (adjusted for two-for-one stock splits in 1995, 1997 and 2004) of common stock for grants thereunder.  The Plans provide for the granting to executive management and other key employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries incentive stock options, as defined under the current tax law.  The options granted under the Plans will be exercisable for ten years from the date of grant and generally vest ratably over a five year period.  Options will be and have been granted at prices which will not be less than 100-110% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

The following is a summary of transactions during the periods presented:

The options outstanding at December 31, 2004, have exercise prices between $2.63 and $15.88 with a weighted average exercise price of $7.89 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.97 years.  At December 31, 2004, there remained 642,500 shares reserved for future grants of options under the 1997 Plan.  Stock options have been adjusted retroactively for the effects of stock splits.

The Corporation accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” under which no compensation cost has been recognized for options granted.  The table in Note 1 under “Stock-Based Compensation” illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to stock-based compensation.  The fair value of the options granted in 2004 and 2003 were estimated as of the date of grant using an accepted options pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.28% and 2.48%, respectively; expected dividend yield of 2.07% and 3.53%, respectively; expected volatility of 26.31% and 26.75%, respectively; and expected life of 5.00 years and 5.08 years, respectively.

NOTE 16 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Corporation 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 loan commitments, standby letters of credit and documentary letters of credit.  The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party of these loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The total contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk are as follows (in thousands):

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

50


NOTE 16 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (cont’d.)

Since many of the loan commitments and letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, owner-occupied real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

The Corporation originates real estate, commercial and consumer loans primarily to customers in the Tarrant County area.  Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the local economy and the real estate market.

The Corporation maintains funds on deposit at correspondent banks which at times exceed the federally insured limits.  Management of the Corporation monitors the balance in these accounts and periodically assesses the financial condition of correspondent banks.

NOTE 17 - Earnings per Share

NOTE 18 - Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan
The Corporation implemented a 401(k) plan in December 1997 covering substantially all employees.  The Corporation made matching contributions to the participant’s deferrals of compensation up to 100% of the employee contributions not to exceed 6% of the employee’s annual compensation for the years 2004, 2003 and 2002.

The Corporation expensed $490,000, $411,000 and $427,000 during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in support of the plan.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
In 2002, the Corporation established a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to provide key employees with retirement, death or disability benefits.  For currently employed employees, the plan replaces the previous Management Security Plan.  The current plan is a defined contribution plan and the expense charged to earnings relating to this plan for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $175,000, $202,000 and $180,000, respectively.

Employment Contracts
The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation has entered into a severance agreement providing for salary and fringe benefits in the event of termination under certain changes in control or for other than cause.

Other Post Retirement Benefits
The Corporation provides certain health care benefits for certain retired employees who bear all costs of these benefits.  These benefits are covered under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.

Compensated Absences
Employees of the Corporation are entitled to paid vacation, paid sick days and other personal days off, depending on job classification, length of service and other factors.  It is impracticable to estimate the amount of compensation for future absences, and accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.  The Corporation’s policy is to recognize the costs of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.

51


NOTE 19 - Dividends from Subsidiaries

The primary source of funds for the Corporation is cash dividends received from the Bank.  The amount of dividends that the Bank may pay in any one year, without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, is the sum of the retained net profits for the preceding two years plus its total of the net profits for the current year.  Under this formula, in 2005, the Bank can legally initiate dividend payments of $11,104,000 plus an additional amount equal to its net profits, as defined, for 2005 to the date of any such dividend payment.  The Bank is also restricted from paying dividends that would cause the Bank to be under-capitalized.

Internal dividend policies limit dividends paid by the Bank if its equity capital levels fall below certain minimums determined by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

NOTE 20 - Litigation

The Corporation is involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management, after reviewing such actions with outside legal counsel, that the settlement of these matters will not materially affect the Corporation’s financial position.

NOTE 21 - Stock Split

In December 2004, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a two-for-one stock split of the Corporation’s common stock effected as a 100% stock dividend and paid on December 31, 2004.  All references in the accompanying financial statements regarding stock options, dividends and per share data for prior periods have been restated to reflect the stock split.

NOTE 22 - Stock Repurchase Plan

On April 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan.  After giving effect to the December 2004 stock split, the plan authorized management to purchase up to 615,360 shares of the Corporation’s common stock over the next twelve months through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.  In 2004 and 2003, 47,766 and 86,276 shares, respectively, were purchased by the Corporation through the open market.

Under similar programs approved by the Board in the years 1994 through 2003, 1,778,172 shares in the aggregate were purchased in those years, reflecting two-for-one stock splits in years 1995, 1997 and 2004.

NOTE 23 - Regulatory Capital Compliance

The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Bank regulatory authorities have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations.  The objective of these efforts is to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to reflect the level of risk associated with holding various categories of assets.  The guidelines define Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.  The components of Tier 1 capital for the Corporation and the Bank include equity capital excluding unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, goodwill and other intangible assets.  In addition, Tier I capital for the Corporation includes the $12.0 million of Capital Securities issued by SBI Trust.  Tier 2 Capital includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses.  These two components combine to become Total Capital.  The guidelines also stipulate that four categories of risk weights (0, 20, 50 and 100 percent), primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty, be applied to the different types of balance sheet assets.  Risk weights for all off-balance sheet exposures are determined by a two step process, whereas the face value of the off-balance sheet item is converted to a “credit equivalent amount” and that amount is assigned to the appropriate risk category.  Off-balance sheet items at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 included unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.  The minimum ratio for qualifying Total Capital is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital. 

The Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency also have a capital to total assets (leverage) guideline.  These guidelines establish a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3.0%.  A banking organization operating at or near these levels is expected to have well-diversified risk, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and, in general, be considered a strong banking organization.  Organizations not meeting these characteristics are expected to operate well above these minimum capital standards.  Thus, for all but the most highly rated organizations, the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio is to be 3.0% plus minimum additional cushions of at least 100 to 200 basis points.  At the discretion of the regulatory authorities, additional capital may be required.

In addition to the minimum guidelines stated above, the regulatory authorities have established minimums for an institution to be classified as “well capitalized.”  A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.  The Corporation and the Bank currently exceed all minimum capital requirements and are considered to be “well capitalized,” the highest rating, by the regulatory authorities.  Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would have changed the Corporation’s capital rating since December 31, 2004.

NOTE 25 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”        SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities, in most circumstances.  Such financial instruments include (i) financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable; (ii) financial instruments that embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or are indexed to such an obligation, and that require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets; (iii) financial instruments that embody an obligation that the issuer may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is predominantly based on a fixed amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares or variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; and (iv) certain freestanding financial instruments.  SFAS 150 was effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, however, in October 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the application of certain provisions of SFAS 150 as they apply to mandatorily redeemable minority interests.  Adoption of SFAS 150 on July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  The amendments (i) reflect decisions of the Derivatives Implementation Group, (ii) reflect decisions made by the FASB in conjunction with other projects dealing with financial instruments and (iii) address implementation issues related to the application of the definition of a derivative.  SFAS 149 also modifies various other existing pronouncements to conform with the changes made to SFAS 133.  SFAS 149 was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provisions

53


NOTE 25- Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d.)

applied prospectively.  Adoption of SFAS 149 on July 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Revised 2003).” SFAS 132R was issued by the FASB in an effort to improve financial statement disclosures for defined benefit plans.  SFAS 132R requires companies to provide additional details about plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and other relevant information.  Companies will also be required to report the various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis in interim financial statements.  The new disclosure requirements were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, and for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003.  Adoption of SFAS 132 on December 15, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

SFAS No. 123, “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004).” SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity (i) exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, or (ii) incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of the equity instruments.          FAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the date of the grant.  SFAS 123R is effective for the Corporation on July 1, 2005.  The Corporation will transition to fair value based accounting for stock-based compensation using a modified version of prospective application (“modified prospective application”).  Under modified prospective application, as it is applicable to the Corporation, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after July 1, 2005. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to non-vested awards) that are outstanding as of July 1, 2005 must be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS 123R.  The attribution of compensation cost for those earlier awards will be based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for the pro forma disclosures required for companies that did not adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation.  Based on the stock-based compensation awards outstanding as of December 31, 2004 for which the requisite service is not expected to be fully rendered prior to July 1, 2005, the Corporation expects to recognize additional pre-tax, quarterly compensation cost of approximately $51,000 beginning in the third quarter of 2005 as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R.  Future levels of compensation cost recognized related to stock-based compensation awards (including the aforementioned expected costs during the period of adoption) may be impacted by new awards and/or modifications, repurchases and cancellations of existing awards before and after the adoption of this standard.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretations

FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (Revised December 2003).”  FIN 46, establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (VIE) that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE entity is the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receives a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a VIE.  Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, VIE’s were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity.  The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003.  If a VIE existed prior to February 1, 2003, FIN 46 was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  However, subsequent revisions to the interpretation deferred the implementation date of FIN 46 until the first period ending after December 15, 2003.  The Corporation adopted FIN 46 in connection with its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.  The implementation of FIN 46 required the Corporation to de-consolidate its investment in Summit Bancshares, Inc. Statutory Trust I because the Corporation is not the primary beneficiary.  All prior financial statements have been restated to reflect this de-consolidation.  There was no impact on shareholders’ equity, income from continuing operations or net income.

FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others — an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.”  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 were applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and were adopted in the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.  Implementation of the remaining provisions of FIN 45 on January 1, 2003 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issues

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.”  EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other-than-temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss.  An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost.  Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (i) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (ii) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary.  If impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value.  Certain disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 were adopted in 2003 and the Corporation began presenting the new disclosure requirements in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003.  The recognition and measurement provisions were initially effective for other-than-temporary impairment

54


NOTE 25- Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d.)

evaluations in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004.  However, in September 2004, the effective date of these provisions was delayed until the finalization of a FASB Staff Position to provide additional implementation guidance.

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.”  SAB 105 summarizes the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments.  SAB 105 provides that the fair value of recorded loan commitments that are accounted for as derivatives under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” should not incorporate the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan.  In addition, SAB 105 requires registrants to disclose their accounting policy for loan commitments.  The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004.  The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statements of Position

Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.”  SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between the contractual cash flows of certain loans and debt securities and the cash flows expected to be collected when loans or debt securities are acquired in a transfer and those cash flow differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality.  As such, SOP 03-3 applies to loans and debt securities acquired individually, in pools or as part of a business combination and does not apply to originated loans.  The application of SOP 03-3 limits the interest income, including accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans and debt securities.  Additionally, SOP 03-3 does not allow the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected to be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance, such as the allowance for possible loan losses.  SOP 03-3 requires that increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan or debt security over its remaining life.  Decreases in expected cash flows should be recognized as impairment.  In the case of loans acquired in a business combination where the loans show signs of credit deterioration, SOP 03-3 represents a significant change from current purchase accounting practice whereby the acquiree’s allowance for loan losses is typically added to the acquirer’s allowance for loan losses.  SOP 03-3 is effective for loans and debt securities acquired by the Corporation beginning January 1, 2005.  The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

NOTE 26 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (“SFAS 107”), “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value tables or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks and federal funds sold approximate those assets’ fair values.

 

 

 

Investment securities (including mortgage backed securities):  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

 

 

 

Loans:  For variable rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values.  The fair values for fixed rate loans such as mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) and installment loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

 

 

 

Deposit liabilities:  The fair value disclosed for interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing demand deposits, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date or their carrying amounts.  Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

 

 

 

Short term borrowings:  The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their fair values.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by the Corporation’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the Corporation’s fourth fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2004, management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee for Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the assessment, management determined that the Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on those criteria.

Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P., the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.  The report, which expresses unqualified opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is included in this Item under the heading “Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Stovall, Grandey, & Whatley, L.L.P.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Summit Bancshares, Inc.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Summit Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).  The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

59


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Summit Bancshares, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria.  Also, in our opinion, Summit Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 of Summit Bancshares, Inc. and our report dated March 4, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
