Note C Business Combination On January 5, 2000, the Company acquired Saratoga Bancorp, the parent company of Saratoga National Bank, pursuant to a merger of Saratoga Bancorp with and into the Company. Saratoga National Bank, headquartered in Saratoga, California, operated three branches and as of the acquisition date had $142 million in assets and $103 million in deposits. Saratoga National Bank's San Jose office, which was located near SJNB's San Jose office was consolidated into SJNB's San Jose office in January 2000. The shareholders of Saratoga received 0.70 shares of the Company's common stock for each outstanding share of Saratoga common stock. Total shares issued were 1,175,743. Based on the closing price of the Company's stock on January 5, 2000 of $29.125 the transaction is valued at approximately $34.2 million, excluding the value of any unexercised options, and each Saratoga shareholder received SJNB common stock valued at $20.39 per share. The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The condensed consolidated financial statements and selected financial data present the combined results of the Company and Saratoga Bancorp on a pooling of interests basis, as if the combination had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The results of operations previously reported by the separate companies and the combined amounts presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below: For the quarter ended September 30, 1999 ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ SJNB Saratoga Combined ------------------------------ ---------------------------- ----------- Net interest income $5,729 $1,433 $7,162 Net income 1,498 486 1,984 For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Net interest income $15,949 $4,259 $20,208 Net income 4,204 1,434 5,638 Note D Segment Reporting SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires certain information about the operating segments of the Company. The objective of requiring disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information is to provide information about the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages and the different economic environments in which it operates to help users of financial statements better understand its performance; better assess its prospects for future cash flows and make more informed judgments about the enterprise as a whole. The Company has determined it has three segments, general commercial banking, leasing, and factoring/asset based financing. Neither leasing nor factoring/asset based financing meet the required thresholds for disaggregation and therefore the disclosures and related information about such segments has not been included in the consolidated financial statements. At such time these segments meet the required thresholds, such disclosures and other information will be included. Note E Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of Effective Date. This Statement deferred the effective date to the fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company expects to adopt this Statement on January 1, 2001. Management believes the Statement should not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its consolidated statement of operations. Item 2.

(the "Company") is the holding company for San Jose National Bank ("SJNB" or the "Bank"), and the Bank's subsidiary, Epic Funding Corp. ("Epic").

Summary of Financial Results The Company reported net income of $2,769 or $0.72 per share - diluted for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This compares with net income of $1,984 or $0.53 per share - diluted for the third quarter of 1999. The increase in net income compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was primarily the result of the increase in net interest income, offset somewhat, by an increase in other expense. See the specific sections below for details regarding these changes. The Company reported net income of $5,661 or $1.48 per share - diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. After excluding merger related costs, net of tax, net income was $7,809 or $2.04 per share - diluted. This compares with net income of $5,638 or $1.50 per share - diluted for the nine months of 1999. The increase in operating net income (which is net income excluding the merger related costs, net of tax) compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily the result of the increase in net interest income, offset somewhat, by an increase in the loan loss provision, increase in net security losses (other income) and an increase in other expense. See the specific sections below for details regarding these changes. Net Interest Income Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, increased $1.4 million as compared to the same quarter a year ago. The Bank's average earning assets for the same period increased by $77 million, as the result of growth in the Bank's investment securities and money market investments of $30 million and in the loan and lease portfolio of $47 million. In addition, the net interest margin increased from 5.63% in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to 5.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The increase in the net interest margin was the result of interest rate increases during 1999 and 2000. During the third quarter of 1999 the prime rate averaged 8.15% while in the third quarter of 2000 it averaged 9.50% while cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.14% in 1999 to 4.92% in 2000. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, increased $4.7 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The Bank's average earning assets for the same period increased by $85 million, as the result of growth in the Bank's investment securities and money market investments of $31 million and in the loan and lease portfolio of $54 million. In addition, the net interest margin increased from 5.65% in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 5.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily the result of interest rate increases during 1999 and 2000. During the first nine months of 1999 the prime rate averaged 7.87% while in the first nine months of 2000 it averaged 9.15% while cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.06% in 1999 to 4.70% in 2000. Due to the nature of the Company's lending markets, in which loans are generally tied to the Prime Rate, it is believed an increase in interest rates should positively affect the Company's future earnings, while a decline in interest rates would have a negative impact. Should interest rates decline in the future, management believes that net interest income could be negatively impacted and it is not feasible to provide an accurate measure of such a change because of the many factors (many of which are uncontrollable) influencing the result. Economic conditions in Northern California have remained relatively strong in 2000, although there are indications that this economic strength could be threatened by increasing inflationary pressures, the continued tightness of the skilled labor force in Santa Clara County and the potential for the real estate market to slow down. During the last nine months the domestic equity markets have shown an increase in volatility, affecting all companies, but more significantly the high technology companies. The impact of this volatility is not certain at this time but could affect the equity wealth factor of those who have investments in such companies, the future infusion of venture capital and the ability of such companies to raise capital in public markets. These factors could have a serious effect on economic conditions of Santa Clara County. In addition, the competitive environment within the Bank's marketplace continues to be aggressive and the competition among banks for additional loans, leases and deposits has caused more competitive pricing. The following tables shows the composition of average earning assets and average funding sources, average yields and rates and the net interest margin, on an annualized basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses The level of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the related provision reflect management's judgment as to the inherent risk of loss associated with the loan and lease portfolios as of September 30, 2000 and 1999 based on information available to management as of said dates. Based on management's evaluation of such risks, an addition of $150 was made to the allowance for loan and lease losses in the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to an addition of $150 for the third quarter of 1999. An addition of $525 to the allowance for loan lease losses was made in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to an addition of $316 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. See "Loan and Lease Portfolio." Other Income The following table sets forth the components of other income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999:
OTHER INCOME (dollars in thousands) Quarter ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service charges on deposits $261 44.77% $297 63.46% $826 82.60% $761 48.88% Other operating income 322 55.23 222 47.44 761 76.10 847 54.40 Net loss on securities available for ----- ----- (51) (10.90) (587) (58.70) (51) (3.28) sale ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $583 100.00% $468 100.00% $1,000 100.00% $1,557 100.00% =============================================================================================================================
The decrease in the service charges on deposits of $36 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999, is due mainly to a change in the method of assessing certain service charges on deposit accounts in 1999. During 2000 the customers impacted by this change have begun to alter their banking procedures to minimize the service charge and therefore causing the reduction in the third quarter of 2000. The increase in other operating income of $100 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999 is mainly due to the impact of the estimated increase in cash surrender value of life insurance purchased in connection with a supplemental retirement plan for executive officers and directors. The decrease in other operating income of $86 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999, is due to two offsetting items. During 1999 a specific reserve of $255 was reversed relating to an acquired SBA loan which was paid in full. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 income in the amount of $188 has been recognized for the increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance purchased. Other Expenses The following schedule summarizes the major categories of expense as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000:

Total other expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased $227 from the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of a net increase in salary and benefits of $122. The third quarter 1999 expense includes the operations of Saratoga Bancorp prior to its merger with SJNB Financial Corp. on January 5, 2000. Subsequent to the merger management estimates that the combined savings in salaries and benefits on a quarterly basis was approximately $150. After taking into consideration the impact of these savings, salaries and benefits increased approximately $255. This is mainly due to increased incentives accruals and salary increases necessitated by the competitive environment for personnel and supplemental retirement programs instituted by Saratoga in 1999 and by SJNB in 2000. Total other expenses for the nine months of 2000 increased $4.0 million from the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of nonrecurring merger costs of $3.4 million, in addition to increased incentive accruals and salary increases necessitated by the competitive environment for personnel and supplemental compensations programs instituted by Saratoga in 1999 and by SJNB in 2000. As a percent of average assets, excluding nonrecurring merger costs, actual expenses were 2.73% and 2.70% in the third quarter 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to 3.03% and 3.04% in the third quarter of 1999 and the nine months ended June 30, 1999. This is mainly due to the combination of SJNB and Saratoga National Bank on January 5, 2000. Income Tax Provision The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 39% and for year ended December 31, 1999 it was 41%. The rate is impacted by several items, the most significant of which are the amortization of intangibles, tax exempt income, the California Franchise tax, the California Franchise Tax Enterprise Tax Zone Credit and the impact of the Bank's investment in Low Income Housing Tax Credit funds. Financial Condition and Earning Assets Consolidated assets increased to $650 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $568 million at December 31, 1999. The increase related primarily to an increase in cash, investment securities, money market investments, loans and other assets, all of which was funded by an increase in deposits of $76 million. See "Funding." Federal Funds Sold and Money Market Investments Federal funds sold and money market investments were $19.9 million at September 30, 2000 as compared to $12.7 million at December 31, 1999. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in the Bank's deposits. See "Funding." Securities The following table shows the composition of the securities portfolio at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. There were no issuers of securities (except U.S. Government Securities) for which the book value of securities of any issuer held by the Bank exceeded 10% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

Unrealized losses generally result from the impact of current market rates being greater than those rates in effect at the time the Bank purchased the securities. The unrealized loss on securities available for sale as of September 30, 2000 was $1.1 million as compared to an unrealized loss of $2.2 million as of December 31, 1999. The decrease in unrealized losses is partially due to the inverse shape of the yield curve in addition to the recognition of $587 in losses taken in the second quarter of 2000. The losses were taken to restructure the portfolio to take advantage of the interest rate environment at that time. The Bank's weighted average maturity of the available for sale portfolio was approximately 5.0 years as of September 30, 2000, and 6.7 years at December 31, 1999. Management estimates that for each 1% change in interest rates, the value of the Company's available for sale securities will change by approximately 3.0%. The unrealized loss on securities held to maturity was $741 as of September 30, 2000, as compared to an unrealized loss of $1.5 million as of December 31, 1999. The decrease in the unrealized loss from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000 was due, in part, to the reduction in interest rates in addition to the appreciation in value of the state and municipal securities. This appreciation in the state and municipal securities is due to several reasons, the most significant is the impact of the inverted yield curve (where rates on longer term instruments are less than those of shorter duration) and a heavy demand for California and its subdivisions issues which make up the most significant portion of the state and municipal security portfolio. The Bank's weighted average maturity of the held to maturity investment portfolio was approximately 8.91 years as of September 30, 2000, while at December 31, 1999 it was 10.4 years. Management estimates that for each 1% change in interest rates, the value of the Company's securities held to maturity will change by approximately 5.9%. The maturities and yields of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2000 are shown below:

Loan and Lease Portfolio The following table provides a breakdown of the Company's consolidated loans and leases by type of borrower:

Consolidated loans and leases increased to $434 million at September 30, 2000, from $403 million at December 31, 1999 or approximately a 7.7% growth rate for the nine months. The growth was primarily due to increases in SBA lending, leasing volumes, real estate term and consumer. The Bank has elected not to aggressively seek or renew loans where, in management's opinion, the Bank's underwriting criteria is not satisfied; this has caused a slow down in loan production and an increase in payoffs when the Bank has not met competitive pressures. Competition for commercial and other loans remains highly competitive within the Bank's marketing area. Growth in SBA, leasing and real estate term, which are primarily transactional lending with competitive industry pricing, relate to the Bank's ability to penetrate the market. The growth in consumer relates to the development of a competitive product associated with the Bank's on-line banking program. Approximately 50% of the loan and lease portfolio is directly related to real estate or real estate interests, including real estate construction loans, real estate term, mortgage warehouse lines (0.6%, included in the Commercial and other category), real estate equity lines (1.5%, included in the Consumer category), loans to real estate developers for short-term investment purposes (2.9%) and loans for real estate investment purposes made to non-developers (.6%). The latter two types of loans are included in the Commercial and other category. Approximately 28% of the loan and lease portfolio is made up of commercial loans; however, in management's view, no particular industry represents a significant portion of such loans. The following table shows the maturity and interest rate sensitivity of commercial, real estate construction and real estate term loans at September 30, 2000. Approximately 77% of the commercial, SBA and real estate loan portfolio have floating interest rates which, in management's opinion, generally limits the exposure to interest rate risk on long-term loans and leases but can have a negative impact when rates decline.

The Company utilizes a method of assigning a minimum and maximum loss ratio to each grade of loan or lease within each category of borrower (commercial, real estate term, real estate construction, factoring/asset-based lending, consumer, SBA, etc.) and leases. Loans and leases are graded on a ranking system based on management's assessment of the loan or lease's credit quality. The assigned loss ratio is based upon, among other things, the Company's prior experience, industry experience, delinquency trends and the level of nonaccrual loans and leases. Loans secured by real estate are evaluated on the basis of their underlying collateral in addition to using the assigned loss ratios. The methodology also considers (and assigns a risk factor for) current economic conditions, off-balance sheet risk (including SBA guarantees and servicing and letters of credit) and concentrations of credit. In addition, each loan and lease is evaluated on the basis of whether or not it is impaired. For impaired loans and leases, the expected cash flow is discounted on the basis of the loan's interest rate. The methodology provides a systematic approach believed by management to measure the risk of possible future loan and lease losses. Management and the Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine the desired level of the allowance considering objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge of the borrowers' business, valuation of collateral and exposure to potential losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses was approximately $7.2 million at September 30, 2000, or 1.65% of total loans and leases outstanding on such date. The allowance for loan and lease losses is a general reserve available against the total loan and lease portfolio and off-balance sheet credit exposure. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to provide additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The following schedule provides an analysis of the allowance for loan and lease losses:

During the third quarter of 2000, the Bank wrote-off $22 in loans and had recoveries of $338 for a total net recovery of $316. During the third quarter of 1999, the Bank wrote-off $1 in loans and had recoveries of $79 for a total of $78 in net recoveries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company had total charge-offs of $408 compared to $27 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $640 as compared to $209 for the same period in the prior year. The allowance for loan and lease losses was 753% of nonperforming loans and leases at September 30, 2000 compared to 296% at December 31, 1999. The increase in the percentage of allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases was due to the reduction in nonperforming loans and an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. See "Nonperforming Loans and Leases." Nonperforming Loans and Leases Nonperforming loans and leases consist of loans and leases for which the accrual of interest has been suspended, restructured loans and leases and other loans and leases with principal or interest contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing. At September 30, 2000, there was approximately $943 in loans and leases for which the accrual of interest had been suspended and $9 of loans and leases with principal or interest contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing for a total of $952 of nonperforming loans and leases. At December 31, 1999 there was approximately $2,148 in loans for which the accrual of interest had been suspended plus $15 with principal or interest contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing for a total of $2,163 in nonperforming loans and leases. As of September 30, 2000, nonperforming loans and leases consisted of two loans and two leases. The two loans amount to $80 and one is secured by real estate and one has an SBA guarantee. The leases in the amount of $663 are for printing presses and together with a vendor's holdback management believes the collateral has sufficient value to recover any potential loss. Management does not consider the loss exposure on these loans and leases to be significant at September 30, 2000. Management conducts an ongoing evaluation and review of the loan and lease portfolio in order to identify potential nonperforming loans and leases. Management considers loans and leases which are classified for regulatory purposes, and loans and leases which are graded as classified by the Bank's outside loan review consultant and internal personnel, as to whether they (i) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii) represent material credit information about which management is aware which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Based on such reviews as of September 30, 2000, management has not identified any significant loans or leases not mentioned above with respect to which known information causes management to have serious doubts about the borrowers' abilities to comply with present repayment terms, such that the loans and leases might subsequently be classified as nonperforming. Changes in world, national or local economic conditions or specific industry segments (including declining exports), rising interest rates, declines in real estate values, declines in securities markets and acts of nature could have an adverse effect on the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and leases and the value of real estate and other collateral securing such loans and leases. The Bank is committed on a letter of credit in the amount of $650, which relates to a real estate loan, which was written off during the first quarter of 2000. The letter of credit supports the necessary required infrastructure relating to the real estate project. It is estimated that 80% of such infrastructure has been completed. The estimated exposure for this letter of credit has been specifically identified in the Bank's allowance for loan and lease losses. Other Assets Other assets increased approximately $13 million to $25 million at September 30, 2000 from the December 31, 1999 amount of $12. The increase is primarily due to the purchase of approximately $10 million in life insurance policies on key executives and directors of the Company and the investment in a low income housing tax credit investment fund of $1.0 million. Funding The following table provides a breakdown of deposits by category as of the dates indicated:
DEPOSIT CATEGORIES (dollars in thousands) September 30, 2000 December 31, 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percentage Percentage Total of Total Total of Total Amount Deposits Amount Deposits ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest-bearing demand $126,824 23.1% $94,687 20.0% Interest-bearing demand 78,184 14.2 78,523 16.6 Money market and savings 148,207 27.0 140,871 29.8 Certificates of deposit: Less than $100 56,832 10.4 54,172 11.4 $100 or more 138,592 25.3 105,480 22.3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $548,639 100.0% $473,733 100.0% =============================================================================================================================
Deposits as of September 30, 2000 were $549 million compared to $474 million at December 31, 1999. The source of deposit growth was from all areas, except interest-bearing demand deposits and represented the dynamic economic environment of Silicon Valley, including a strong real estate market, venture capital fundings, and the continued strength of the initial public offering market. Management believes that non-interest bearing deposits could decrease as a percent of the total, in part, due to competitive pressures and changes in the deposit products being utilized by the Bank's customers, which has caused a shift to higher-yielding interest-bearing products. See "Capital and Liquidity-Liquidity." Asset/Liability Management The Company's balance sheet position is asset-sensitive (based upon the significant amount of variable rate loans and the repricing characteristics of its deposit accounts). This balance sheet position generally provides a hedge against rising interest rates, but has a detrimental effect during times of interest rate decreases. Net interest income is negatively impacted in the short term by a decline in interest rates. Conversely, an increase in interest rates should have a short-term positive impact on net interest income. As of July 7, 2000, the Bank entered into a three-year interest rate swap, as a partial hedge against its prime rate variable loan portfolio, where the Bank will receive 9.6% and pay the daily average prime rate. The Bank believes this will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge under FAS No. 133, as amended. Capital and Liquidity Capital The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines require that total capital be in excess of 8% of total assets on a risk-weighted basis. Under the guidelines for a bank holding company, capital requirements are based upon the composition of the Company's asset base and the risk factors assigned to those assets. The guidelines characterize an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital (defined to be principally shareholders' equity less intangible assets) and "Tier 2" capital (defined to be principally the allowance for loan losses, limited to one and one-fourth percent of gross risk weighted assets). The guidelines require the Company to maintain a risk-based capital target ratio of 8%, one-half or more of which should be in the form of Tier 1 capital. The Comptroller of the Currency also requires SJNB to maintain adequate capital. The Comptroller's current regulations require national banks to maintain Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to at least 3% to 5% of total assets, depending on the Comptroller's evaluation of the Bank. The Comptroller also has adopted risk-based capital requirements. Similar to the Federal Reserve Bank's guidelines, the amount of capital the Comptroller requires a bank to maintain is based upon the composition of its asset base and risk factors assigned to those assets. The guidelines require the Bank to maintain a risk-based capital target ratio of 8%, one-half or more of which should be in the form of Tier 1 capital. The capital ratios of the Bank are similar to the capital ratios of the Company. The table below summarizes the various capital ratios of the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

Liquidity Management strives to maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to meet customer requirements for loan and lease funding and deposit withdrawals in an economically feasible manner. Liquidity requirements are evaluated by taking into consideration factors such as deposit concentrations, seasonality and maturities, loan and lease demand, capital expenditures, and prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. SJNB's business is generated primarily through customer referrals and employee business development efforts; however SJNB could utilize purchased deposits to satisfy temporary liquidity needs. The Bank's source of liquidity consists of its deposits with other banks, overnight funds sold to correspondent banks and other short-term investments, short-term securities held to maturity, and securities available for sale less short-term borrowings. At September 30, 2000, consolidated net liquid assets totaled $135 million or 21% of consolidated total assets as compared to $93 million or 16% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 1999. In addition to the liquid asset portfolio, SJNB also has available $27 million in informal lines of credit with three major commercial banks, a collateralized repurchase agreement with a maximum limit of $30 million, the guaranteed portion of the SBA loan portfolio of approximately $32 million, and a credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank based on loans secured by real estate for approximately $7.3 million. SJNB is primarily a business and professional bank and, as such, its deposit base may be more susceptible to economic fluctuations than other potential competitors. Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits. Commercial clients in their normal course of business maintain balances in large certificates of deposit, the stability of which hinge upon, among other factors, market conditions, interest rates and business' seasonality. Large certificates of deposit amounted to 25% and 22% of total deposits on September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Liquidity is also affected by portfolio maturities and the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the marketability of both assets and liabilities. The loan and lease portfolio consists primarily of floating rate, short-term loans. On September 30, 2000, approximately 28% of total consolidated assets had maturities less than one year and 67% of total consolidated loans and leases had floating rates tied to the prime rate or similar indexes. The short-term nature of the loan and lease portfolio, and loan and lease agreements which generally require monthly interest payments, provide the Company with a secondary source of liquidity. There are no material commitments for capital expenditures in 2000. The Company's liquidity is maintained by cash flows stemming from dividends and management fees from the Bank and the exercise of stock options issued to the Bank's employees and directors. The amount of dividends from the Bank is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Subject to said restrictions, at December 31, 1999, up to $8.9 million could have been paid to the parent Company by the Bank without regulatory approval. Dividends of $3.8 million were paid to the parent company during 1999. Effects of Inflation The most direct effect of inflation on the Company is higher interest rates. Because a significant portion of the Bank's deposits are represented by non-interest-bearing demand accounts, changes in interest rates have a direct impact on the financial results of the Bank. See "Asset/Liability Management." Another effect of inflation is the upward pressure on the Company's operating expenses. Inflation did not have a material effect on the Bank's operations in 1999 or the first nine months of 2000. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company defines interest rate sensitivity as the measurement of the mismatch in repricing characteristics of assets, liabilities and off balance sheet instruments at a specified point in time. This mismatch (known as interest rate sensitivity gap) represents the potential mismatch in the change in the rate of interest income and interest expense that would result from a change in interest rates. Mismatches in interest rate repricing among assets and liabilities arise primarily from the interaction of various customer businesses (i.e., types of loans and leases versus the types of deposits maintained) and from management's discretionary investment and funds gathering activities. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to interest rate sensitivity. However, due to its size and direct competition from the major banks, the Company must offer products which are competitive in the market place, even if less than optimum with respect to its interest rate exposure. The Company's balance sheet position at September 30, 2000 was asset-sensitive on a short-term basis, based upon the significant amount of variable rate loans and the repricing characteristics of its deposit accounts. This position provides a hedge against rising interest rates, but has a detrimental effect during times of interest rate decreases. Net interest revenues are negatively impacted by a decline in interest rates. The interest rate gap is a measure of interest rate exposure and is based upon the known repricing dates of certain assets and liabilities and assumed repricing dates of others. Management believes there has been no significant change in the Bank's market risk exposures disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Summary of Financial Results - Net Interest Income." Commencing in the third quarter of 1999, the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") began a process of increasing interest rates to offset the possible increase in inflation and to slow down consumer spending. Through September 30, 2000, the FOMC had increased interest rates 175 basis points. During this period the Bank has experienced an increase in its net interest margin. The effect of possible interest rate changes is not precisely determinable due to the many factors influencing the Bank's net interest margin, including repricing of deposits, a change in mix of the loan, lease and deposit portfolios and other borrowings, changes in relative volumes, the speed in which fixed rate loans and leases are repriced, discretionary investment activities and other factors. Although, there is a positive change in the Bank's net interest margin, during this period the Bank also experienced significant growth in its higher cost funding sources, such as money market savings and certificates of deposits. The growth in these deposits and a larger proportional investment of funds in investment securities had the impact of offsetting a portion of the increase in the net interest margin. In evaluating the Company's exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to reprice, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Further, certain earning assets have features, which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. The Company considers the anticipated effects of these various factors when implementing its interest rate risk management activities, including the utilization of certain interest rate hedges.
