PENNSYLVANIA COMMERCE BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2001 (Unaudited) Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pennsylvania Commerce Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries Commerce Bank/Harrisburg, N.A. ("the Bank") and Commerce Capital Harrisburg Trust I. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral "forward-looking statements", including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including the annual report and Form 10-K and the exhibits thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). The words may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others could cause the Company's financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policy, including interest rate policies of the Board of the Federal Reserve System; inflation; interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of competitive new products and services by the Company and the acceptance of such products and services by customers; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors' products and services and vice versa; the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance); technological changes; future acquisitions; the expense savings and revenue enhancements from acquisitions being less than expected; the growth and profitability of the Company's noninterest or fee income being less than expected; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. 7 The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Pennsylvania Commerce Bancorp, Inc., Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2000. Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Stock Dividends and Per Share Data On January 19, 2001, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend on common stock outstanding, paid on February 16, 2001, to stockholders of record on February 2, 2001. Payment of the stock dividend resulted in the issuance of 83,492 additional common shares and cash of $6,403 in lieu of fractional shares. The effect of the 5% common stock dividend has been recorded as of December 31, 2000. Recently Issued FASB Statements In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This Statement replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same name. It revises the standards of securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The Statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. This Statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other than these exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting provision is not permitted. The adoption of the Statement did not have significant impact on the Company. In July of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations", and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method off accounting as use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. In addition, this Statement requires that negative goodwill that exists after the basis of certain acquired assets is reduced to zero should be recognized as an extraordinary gain. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement No. 142 prescribes that goodwill associated with a business combination and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually. The Statement requires intangibles that are separable from goodwill and that have a determinable useful life to be amortized over the determinable useful life. The provisions of this Statement will become effective for the Company in January of 2002. Upon adoption of this statement, goodwill and other intangible assets arising from acquisitions completed before July 1, 2001 should be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this statement. This transition provision 8 could require a reclassification of a previously separately recognized intangible to goodwill and vice versa if the intangibles in question do not meet the new criteria for classification as a separately recognizable intangible. Adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank's financial condition or results of operations. Note 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to certain routine legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. It is management's opinion that the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Future Branch Facilities The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase the parcel of land at 3109 Cape Horn Road, Red Lion, Pennsylvania, and has begun construction of a full-service branch office on this land. The Company plans Grand Opening Ceremonies for this branch in October 2001. The Company has also amended an existing lease (originally dated February 1996) at the Operations Center located at 3 Crossgate Drive, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The amendment expands the square footage under this lease from 5,453 square feet to 7,629 square feet. The amendment became effective May 1, 2001 and has similar terms and options as the original lease. Additional annual rent payments vary based on the purpose of the space used but shall not exceed the pricing stated in the original existing lease agreement. The additional annual rent that commenced on 5/1/01 is $12,331. Rent is subject to change on terms set forth in the agreement. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of the Company's balance sheets and statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes. OVERVIEW Net income for the quarter increased 24% to $1,068,000 as compared to $863,000 for the second quarter of 2000 and total revenues increased by 26% to $7.0 million for the quarter. Diluted net income per common share increased 17% to $0.54 from $0.46 per share in the second quarter a year ago (after adjusting for a 5% common stock dividend paid in February 2001). At June 30, 2001, the Company had total assets of $528.0 million, total loans (including loans held for sale) of $316.6 million, and total deposits of $491.4 million. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Average Balances and Average Interest Rates Interest earning assets averaged $484.8 million for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to $371.7 million for the same period in 2000. Approximately $68.0 million, or 60%, of this increase was in average loans outstanding and $45.1 million, or 40%, was in average securities and federal funds sold. The yield on earning assets for the second quarter of 2001 was 7.85%, a decrease of 32 basis points (bps) over the comparable period in 2000. This decrease was mainly the result of six decreases in short-term interest rates totaling 275 bps by the Federal Reserve Board during the first six months of 2001. The growth in interest earning assets was funded primarily by an increase in the average balance of deposits of $108.7 million. Interest-bearing liabilities increased from $306.2 million during the second quarter of 2000 to $399.6 million during the second quarter of 2001. Average savings deposits increased $29.6 million over second quarter a year ago, average public funds deposits increased $22.5 million and average time deposits increased by $27.4 million. Also, average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $20.4 million. The average rate paid on these liabilities for the second quarter of 2001 was 4.06%, a decrease of 25 basis points from the comparable period in 2000. The Company's aggregate cost of funding sources was 3.35% for the second quarter of 2001, a decrease of 20 basis points over the prior year. This is the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on total interest bearing deposits. Interest earning assets for the first six months averaged $472.4 million versus $358.0 for the comparable period in 2000. The yield on earning assets decreased to 7.95% during the first half of 2001, from 8.08% for the first half of 2000. The level of average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $294.7 million for the first half of 2000 to $393.3 million for the first six months of 2001. The Company's cost of funds for the first half of 2001 was 3.57%, up 12 basis points over 3.45% for the comparable period in the prior year. 10 Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense incurred on liabilities used to fund those assets. Interest earning assets primarily include loans and securities. Liabilities used to fund such assets include deposits, borrowed funds, and long-term debt. Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction between the volume and composition of earning assets, related yields and associated funding costs. Interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 26%, over the second quarter of 2000. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2001 increased by $764,000, or 23%, compared to the second quarter of 2000. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2001 increased by $1.2 million, or 27%, over the same period in 2000. Changes in net interest income are frequently measured by two statistics: net interest rate spread and net interest margin. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents the difference between interest income, including net loan fees earned, and interest expense, reflected as a percentage of average earning assets. The Company's net interest rate spread was 3.79% during the second quarter of 2001 compared to 3.86% during the same period of the previous year. The net interest margin decreased by 12 basis points from 4.62% for the second quarter 2000 to 4.50% during the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months ended June 30, 2001, interest income increased by $4.2 million, or 29%, over the same period in 2000. Interest expense for the first six months of 2001 totaled $8.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 36%, over the first six months of 2000. Net interest income for the first six months of 2001 increased by $2.0 million, or 25%, over the same period in 2000. The Company's net interest margin decreased from 4.63% for the first half of 2000, to 4.36% for the first six months of 2001. Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2001 increased by $271,000, or 20%, over the same period in 2000. Recurring core noninterest income increased by 23% from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2001. The increase is attributable to service charges and fees associated with servicing a higher volume of deposit accounts and transactions. Included in noninterest income for the first six months of 2001 is nonrecurring income of $233,000, as a result of a $102,000 gain on the sale of student loans, a $79,000 gain from the sale of a Small Business Administration loan, and a $52,000 gain on the sale of securities available for sale. Included in noninterest income for the first six months of 2000 is nonrecurring income of $179,000, comprised of an $87,000 gain on the sale of student loans and a $92,000 gain from the sale of Small Business Administration loans. Excluding these transactions, recurring core noninterest income for the first six months of 2001 totaled $3.1 million as compared to $2.3 million for the first half of 2000, an increase of 32%. The increase is mainly attributable to additional service charges and fees associated with servicing a higher volume of deposit accounts and transactions. Noninterest Expenses For the second quarter of 2001, noninterest expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 27%, over the same period in 2000. Staffing levels and related expenses 11 increased as a result of servicing more deposit and loan customers and processing a higher volume of transactions. Staffing and occupancy expenses also increased as a result of opening three branch offices in June 2000, October 2000, and March 2001, respectively. A comparison of noninterest expense for certain categories for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and June 30, 2000, is presented in the following paragraphs. Salary expenses and employee benefits, which represent the largest component of noninterest expenses, increased by $574,000, or 31%, for the second quarter of 2001 over the second quarter of 2000. This increase is consistent with increases in staff levels necessary to handle Company growth from second quarter 2000 to second quarter 2001, including the additional staff of the branch offices opened in June 2000, October 2000, and March 2001. Occupancy expenses of $551,000 were $124,000, or 29%, higher for the second quarter of 2001 than for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Increased occupancy expenses primarily are a result of the two branch offices opened in 2000 and one branch opened in 2001. The Bank also opened a loan production office in Carlisle, PA on January 2, 2001. The Bank leases the office space and constructed leasehold improvements at its own expense. Furniture and equipment expenses of $369,000 were $137,000, or 59%, higher for the second quarter of 2001 than the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase was the result of higher levels of depreciation costs for furniture and equipment incurred with the addition of the two branch offices opened in 2000, the branch opened in 2001, and the Carlisle loan production office opened in 2001, as well as the upgrade of computer equipment at all Commerce locations during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. Advertising and marketing expenses totaled $390,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $30,000 from the second quarter of 2000. Data processing expenses of $311,000 were $39,000, or 14%, higher in the second quarter of 2001 than the three months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was due to a combination of increased costs associated with processing additional transactions (due to growth in number of accounts) and an increase in data processing support costs. Postage and supplies expense of $198,000 represented a $35,000, or 21%, increase over the second quarter of the prior year. This was due to a combination of increased usage of supplies with the addition of three new branches and due to growth in the volume of customers and customer transaction statements. Audits and regulatory fees increased by $12,000, or 14%, from $86,000 for the second quarter of 2000 to $98,000 for the second quarter of 2001. This increase is a result of higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) assessments. Both assessment calculations, which are based upon deposit size, continue to increase as the Company's deposit balances grow. Other noninterest expenses increased by $197,000, or 35%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase includes higher loan expenses due to an increase in loan volume, increased costs associated with the Bank's telephone banking product, telephone service for four new locations, increased correspondent bank charges due to increases in transaction volume, checkbook printing, and higher provisions for non-credit related losses. It also includes costs associated with processing coin for Penny Arcade Coin counters, installed in first and second quarters of 2000, which is offered at no charge to all customers and non-customers. 12 For the first six months of 2001, total noninterest expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 29% over the comparable period in 2000. A comparison of noninterest expense for certain categories for these two periods is discussed below. Salary expense and employee benefits increased by $1.2 million, or 32%, over the first six months of 2000. The increase was due to normal increases and additional salary and benefits costs due to an increase in the level of full-time equivalent employees from 269 at June 30, 2000 to 316 at June 30, 2001 as well as the addition of new staff to operate the new branches opened in June 2000, October 2000, and March 2001. Occupancy and furniture & equipment expenses for the first six months of 2001 were $451,000, or 34%, higher for the first half of 2001 over the similar period in 2000. The increase is the result of costs associated with the opening of new branch offices and the addition of the Carlisle LPO which occurred during the past 12 months as well as the upgrade of computer equipment at all Commerce locations during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the first quarter of 2001. Data processing expenses increased $153,000, or 33%, for the first six months of 2001 as compared to the first six months of 2000. The increase in data processing is the result of increased costs associated with processing higher volumes of customer transactions along with the increase in data processing support costs. Postage and office supplies increased $88,000, or 27%, over the first six months of 2000. The increase in postage expenses resulted from the growth in number of account statements mailed to customers. The increase in supplies expense is a result of increased usage of such items related to additional staff levels as well as an increase in the number of accounts serviced. Audit and regulatory fees increased by $27,000, or 16%, for the first six months of 2001 over the same period in 2000. This increase is a result of higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) assessments, both of which are calculated on levels of deposits. Other noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2001 were $1.5 million compared to $1.1 million for the similar period in 2000. Telephone expenses increased $86,000 due to added telephone service for four new locations along with an increase in call volume. Loan expenses increased $44,000 over the first six months in 2000, as a result of the increase in volume in the loan portfolio. The remaining increase was associated with other general costs over similar expenses during the first six months of 2000. One key measure used to monitor progress in controlling overhead expenses is the ratio of net noninterest expenses to average assets. Net noninterest expenses equal noninterest expenses (excluding other real estate expenses) less noninterest income (exclusive of nonrecurring gains), divided by average assets. This ratio equaled 2.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, less than the 2.77% reported for the three months ended June 30, 2000, and 2.74% for the six months of 2001 compared to 2.81% for the first half of 2000. Another productivity measure is the operating efficiency ratio. This ratio expresses the relationship of noninterest expenses (excluding other real estate expenses) to net interest income plus noninterest income (excluding nonrecurring gains). For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the operating efficiency ratio was 72.7%, 13 compared to 73.1% for the similar period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, this ratio was 74.9% compared to 73.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Provision for Federal Income Taxes The provision for federal income taxes was $533,000 for the second quarter of 2001 as compared to $444,000 for the same period in 2000. For six months ended June 30, the provision was $994,000 and $846,000 for 2001 and 2000, respectively. The effective tax rate, which is the ratio of income tax expense to income before income taxes, was 33.3% for the first six months of 2001 and 34.1% for the same period in 2000. Net Income and Net Income Per Share Net income for the second quarter of 2001 was $1.1 million, an increase of $205,000, or 24%, over the $863,000 recorded in the second quarter of 2000. The increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million, an increase in noninterest income of $271,000, offset partially by an increase in noninterest expenses of $1.1 million, an increase of $60,000 in the provision for loan losses, and an increase of $89,000 in the provision for income taxes. Net income for the first six months of 2001 was $2.0 million as compared to $1.6 million recorded in the first six months of 2000. The increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $2.0 million, an increase in noninterest income of $803,000, offset partially by an increase in noninterest expenses of $2.2 million, an increase of $90,000 in the provision for loan losses, and an increase of $148,000 in the provision for income taxes. Basic earnings per common share, after adjusting for a 5% common stock dividend paid in February 2001, increased to $0.59 per common share for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $0.49 for the same period in 2000. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.54 for the second quarter of 2001 and $0.46 for the same period in 2000. Basic earnings per common share, for the first six months of the year, after adjusting for a 5% common stock dividend paid in February 2001, increased to $1.11 per common share for the first half of 2001 compared to $0.92 per common share for the comparable period in 2000. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.00 for the first six months of 2001 and $0.86 for the same period in 2000. Return on Average Assets and Average Equity Return on average assets (ROA) measures the Company's net income in relation to its total average assets. The Company's annualized ROA for the second quarter of 2001 was 0.82% as compared to 0.86% for the second quarter of 2000. The ROA for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 was 0.79% and 0.85%, respectively. For purposes of calculating ROA, average assets have been adjusted to exclude gross unrealized appreciation or depreciation on securities available for sale. Return on average equity (ROE) indicates how effectively the Company can generate net income on the capital invested by its stockholders. ROE is calculated by dividing net income by average stockholders' equity. For purposes of calculating ROE, average stockholders' equity includes the effect of unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of income taxes, on securities available for sale. The annualized ROE for the second quarter of 2001 was 14.85%, as compared to 16.36% for the second quarter of 2000. The annualized ROE for the first six months of 2001 was 14.24%, as compared to 15.82% for the first six months of 2000. 14 FINANCIAL CONDITION Securities During the first six months of 2001, securities available for sale decreased by $1.3 million (net of unrealized appreciation) from $92.9 million at December 31, 2000 to $91.6 million at June 30, 2001. This resulted from the purchase of $21.3 million in mortgage-backed securities, trust preferred debt securities, and AAA Whole Loan CMO securities, offset by $15.9 million in principal repayments, and $7.5 million of securities sold. The portfolio also had an unrealized gain of $799,000 in the first half of 2001. During the first quarter, Bank management implemented a small portfolio restructuring strategy in response to the dramatic decrease in interest rates during the quarter. Management sold $7.5 million of 7.00% and 7.50% coupon mortgage-backed securities (MBS's) and replaced these with 6.00% and 6.50% coupon MBS's to partially mitigate the Bank's risk to prepayments on the higher coupon securities. The sale of these securities resulted in a net pre-tax gain of $52,180. The securities available for sale portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury Notes, U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, AAA Whole Loan CMO securities, trust preferred debt securities, and equity securities. The weighted average life of the securities available for sale portfolio was 7.7 years at June 30, 2001 with a weighted average yield of 6.76%. During the first six months of 2001, securities held to maturity increased from $33.8 million to $77.1 million primarily as a result of the purchase of $49.1 million in securities, offset by principal repayments of $5.8 million. The securities held in this portfolio include U.S. Government agency securities, tax-exempt municipal bonds, AAA Whole Loan CMO securities, trust preferred debt securities, corporate debt securities, and mortgage-backed securities. The weighted average life of the securities held to maturity portfolio was 7.6 years at June 30, 2001 with a weighted average yield of 6.70%. Federal funds sold decreased by $19.8 million during the first six months of 2001. Total securities and federal funds sold aggregated $171.8 million at June 30, 2001, and represented 33% of total assets. The average yield on the combined securities portfolio for the first six months of 2001 was 6.73%, as compared to 6.64% for the similar period of 2000. The average yield earned on federal funds sold during the first six months of 2001 was 5.19%, down 99 basis points from 6.18% earned during the first six months of 2000. The decrease in the yield on federal funds sold is a result of six decreases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve Bank for a total of 275 bps between January 1, 2001 and June 30, 2001. Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale are comprised of student loans, Small Business Administration loans, and residential mortgage loans which the Company originates with the intention of selling in the future. During the first six months of 2001, total loans held for sale increased by $2.6 million, from $5.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $7.9 million at June 30, 2001. The increase was the result of the sale of $6.8 million of student loans, the sale of $3.2 million of Small Business Administration loans, and the sale of $22.8 million of residential loans, offset by originations of $35.4 million in new loans held for sale. Loans held for sale represented 1% of total assets at December 31, 2000 and at June 30, 2001. 15 Loans Receivable During the first six months of 2001, total loans receivable increased by $18.4 million from $290.3 million at December 31, 2000, to $308.7 million at June 30, 2001. Loans receivable represented 63% of total deposits and 58% of total assets at June 30, 2001, as compared to 65% and 60%, respectively, at December 31, 2000. Loan and Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses Total nonperforming assets (nonperforming loans and other real estate, excluding loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest) at June 30, 2001, were $1.5 million, or 0.27%, of total assets as compared to $875,000, or 0.18%, of total assets at December 31, 2000. Other real estate owned totaled $12,000 at June 30, 2001, $42,000 as of December 31, 2000, and $12,000 at June 30, 2000. The summary table below presents information regarding nonperforming loans and assets as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 2000.

Interest Rate Sensitivity The management of interest rate sensitivity seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to provide consistent net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. The Company's risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments, or market risk, is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The primary objective of the Company's asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is 17 responsible for establishing policies to limit exposure to interest rate risk, and to ensure procedures are established to monitor compliance with those policies. The guidelines established by ALCO are reviewed by the Company's Board of Directors. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market interest rates. Historically, the most common method of estimating interest rate risk was to measure the maturity and repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time (GAP), typically one year. Under this method, a company is considered liability sensitive when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets within the one year horizon. However, assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics may not reprice at the same time or to the same degree. As a result, the Company's GAP does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates on net interest income. Management believes the simulation of net interest income in different interest rate environments provides a more meaningful measure of interest rate risk. Income simulation analysis captures not only the potential of all assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Income simulation also attends to the relative interest rate sensitivities of these items, and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. Finally, income simulation permits management to assess the probable effects on the balance sheet not only of changes in interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to them. The Company's income simulation model analyzes interest rate sensitivity by projecting net interest income over the next 24 months in a flat rate scenario versus net income in alternative interest rate scenarios. Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk management process in response to the changing economic climate. Currently, the Company's model projects a proportionate 200 basis point change during the next year, with rates remaining constant in the second year. The Company's ALCO policy has established that income sensitivity will be considered acceptable if overall net income volatility in a plus or minus 200 basis point scenario is within 15% of net income in a flat rate scenario in the first year and 30% using a two year planning window. At June 30, 2001, the Company's income simulation model indicates net income would increase 2.8% in the first year and 4.3% over a two year time frame if rates decreased as described above. The model projects that net income would decrease by 2.5% in the first year and decrease 1.5% over a two year time frame if rates increased as described above. All of these forecasts are within an acceptable level of interest rate risk per the policies established by ALCO. Management also monitors interest rate risk by utilizing a market value of equity model. The model assesses the impact of a change in interest rates on the market value of all the Company's assets and liabilities, as well as any off balance sheet items. The model calculates the market value of the Company's assets and liabilities in excess of book value in the current rate scenario, and then compares the excess of market value over book value given an immediate 200 basis point change in rates. The Company's ALCO policy indicates that the level of interest rate risk is unacceptable if the immediate 200 basis point change would result in the loss of 60% or more of the excess of market value over book value in the current rate scenario. At June 30, 2001, the market value of equity model indicates an acceptable level of interest rate risk. 18 Liquidity Liquidity management involves the ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to support asset growth and reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals, to maintain reserve requirements, and to otherwise operate the Company on an ongoing basis. Liquidity needs are generally met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of additional funding, mainly deposits. Liquidity sources from asset categories are provided primarily by cash and federal funds sold, and the cash flow from the amortizing securities and loan portfolios. The primary source of liquidity from liability categories is the generation of additional core deposit balances. Additionally, the Company has established secondary sources of liquidity consisting of federal funds lines of credit, repurchase agreements, and borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank, which can be drawn upon if needed. As of June 30, 2001, the total potential liquidity for the Company through these secondary sources was $125 million. In view of the primary and secondary sources as previously mentioned, management believes that the Company is capable of meeting its anticipated liquidity needs. Capital Adequacy At June 30, 2001, stockholders' equity totaled $29.5 million, up 10.6% over stockholders' equity of $26.7 million at December 31, 2000. Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2001 included $148,000 unrealized losses, net of income taxes, on securities available for sale. Excluding this unrealized loss, gross stockholders' equity increased by $2.3 million from $27.3 million at December 31, 2000, to $29.6 million at June 30, 2001 due principally to retained net income. On June 15, 2000, the Company issued $5.0 million of 11.00% Trust Capital Securities to Commerce Bancorp, Inc. through Commerce Harrisburg Capital Trust I, a newly formed Delaware business trust subsidiary of the Company. Proceeds of this offering were downstreamed to Commerce Bank/Harrisburg, N.A., the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, to be used for additional capitalization purposes. All $5.0 million of the Trust Capital Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes. Risk-based capital provides the basis for which all banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. The risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4% and total capital, including Tier 1 capital, of at least 8% of risk-adjusted assets. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders' equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with related surpluses and retained earnings. Total capital may be comprised of total Tier 1 capital plus limited life preferred stock, qualifying debt instruments, and the allowance for loan losses. The following table provides a comparison of the Company's risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios to the minimum regulatory requirements for the periods indicated:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective June 30, December 31, For Capital Adequacy Action Provisions 2001 2000 Purposes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Risk-Based Capital Ratios: Tier 1 9.24% 9.90% 4.00% 6.00% Total 10.35 11.04 8.00 10.00 Leverage Total 6.62 6.92 4.00 5.00 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 At June 30, 2001, the consolidated capital levels of the Company and of the subsidiary bank (Commerce) met the definition of a "well capitalized" institution. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's exposure to market risk has not changed significantly since December 31, 2000. The market risk principally includes interest rate risk, which is discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis above. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to certain routine legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. It is management's opinion the ultimate resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders The Annual Meeting of the Company's Shareholders was held on May 18, 2001. The items of business approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting were (i) the election of nine directors for a one-year term, and (ii) the approval of an amendment to the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable under the 1996 Plan by 200,000 shares.
