See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 FNB Corp. and Subsidiary NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Basis of Presentation FNB Corp. is a one-bank holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiary is the First National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Bank, which has one wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Investor Services, Inc., offers a complete line of financial services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment and trust services, to individual and business customers primarily in the region of North Carolina that includes Chatham, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Richmond and Scotland counties. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without audit, include the accounts of FNB Corp. and the Bank (collectively the "Corporation"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The chief operating decision maker reviews the results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiary as a single enterprise. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As discussed in Note 3 below, the Corporation in 2000 completed a merger for the acquisition of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Historical financial information included in these consolidated financial statements has been restated to include the account balances and results of operations of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. 2. Cash and Cash equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. 3. Merger Information On April 10, 2000, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. ("Carolina Fincorp"), holding company for Richmond Savings Bank, Inc., SSB ("Richmond Savings"), headquartered in Rockingham, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, all historical financial information included in these consolidated financial statements has been restated to include the account balances and results of operations of Carolina Fincorp. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Carolina Fincorp common stock was converted into .79 of a share of FNB Corp. common stock, for a total issuance of 1,478,398 FNB Corp. shares. On June 26, 2000, Richmond Savings was merged into First National Bank and Trust Company. At 5 March 31, 2000, Carolina Fincorp operated five offices through Richmond Savings and had approximately $125,943,000 in total assets, $108,848,000 in deposits and $16,332,000 in shareholders' equity. Merger-related expenses of $2,796,000 were recorded in the second quarter of 2000. 4. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 On January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as further amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Financial Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 138" (collectively referred to as "SFAS No. 133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, on January 1, 2001, the Corporation transferred all of its securities from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio as follows:
Securities Transferred -------------------------------------------- Amortized Estimated Pretax Cost Fair Gain Value (Loss) ---------- ---------- --------- (in thousands) U.S. Government agencies and corporations $36,089 $35,759 $(330) Mortgage-backed securities 483 488 5 State, county and municipal 19,735 20,352 617 Other debt securities 3,054 3,128 74 ------- ------- ----- Total $59,361 $59,727 $ 366 ======= ======= =====
As of January 1, 2001, the transfer of the securities had a net of tax effect of $242,000 on other comprehensive income. On January 1, 2001, the Corporation had no embedded derivative instruments requiring separate accounting treatment and had identified fixed rate conforming loan commitments as its only freestanding derivative instruments. The fair value of these commitments was not material and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. The fair value of these commitments at March 31, 2001 was not material to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. 5. Earnings Per Share (EPS) Basic net income per share, or basic earnings per share (EPS), is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Corporation's dilutive stock options were exercised. The numerator of the basic EPS computation is the same as the numerator of the diluted EPS computation 6 for all periods presented. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to assist in the understanding and evaluation of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of FNB Corp. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), collectively referred to as the "Corporation". This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. Overview On April 10, 2000, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. ("Carolina Fincorp"), holding company for Richmond Savings Bank, Inc., SSB ("Richmond Savings"), headquartered in Rockingham, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Carolina Fincorp common stock was converted into .79 of a share of FNB Corp. common stock, for a total issuance of 1,478,398 FNB Corp. shares. On June 26, 2000, Richmond Savings was merged into First National Bank and Trust Company. At March 31, 2000, Carolina Fincorp operated five offices through Richmond Savings and had approximately $125,943,000 in total assets, $108,848,000 in deposits and $16,332,000 in shareholders' equity. Merger-related expenses of $2,796,000 were recorded in the second quarter of 2000. Upon the change in control, the Carolina Fincorp ESOP plan terminated according to its terms and unvested MRP shares became fully vested. Included in merger-related expenses were $385,000 of expense related to the termination of these plans. Additionally, approximately $450,000 of the total provision for loan losses of $835,000 in the second quarter was related to aligning the credit risk methodologies of FNB Corp. and Carolina Fincorp. Historical financial information included in the consolidated financial statements has been restated to include the account balances and results of operations of Carolina Fincorp. In the 2000 fourth quarter, management adopted a balance sheet restructuring project to reduce the level of lower yielding, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans by selling those loans and redeploying the funds in other types of assets, including specific purchases of bank owned life insurance and a more general redeployment to other loan programs and investment securities. 1-4 family residential mortgage loans totaling $20,938,000 were transferred to loans held for sale, and of that amount, $12,199,000 were sold in 2000 and the remainder were sold in the first quarter of 2001. In December 2000, single premium purchases of life insurance amounting to $10,000,000 were recorded as bank owned life insurance in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Income relating to the bank owned life insurance is being recorded as noninterest income, while the loans sold had generated interest income. The effective reduction of interest income will tend to lower the net yield on earning assets and net interest spread in future periods. Management believes that the income resulting from the bank owned life insurance, which is not subject to income tax, will produce a greater contribution to net income than did the income from the loans sold. The Corporation earned $1,682,000 in the first quarter of 2001, a 13.6% increase over the same period in 2000. Basic earnings per share increased from $.30 to $.33 in comparing these first quarter periods and diluted earnings per share increased from $.29 to $.33. Total assets were $581,391,000 at March 31, 2001, up 9.0% from March 31, 2000 and 2.8% from December 31, 2000. Loans, affected by the balance sheet restructuring project, amounted to $388,524,000 at March 31, 2001, increasing 3.2% from March 31, 2000 and decreasing 1.8% from December 31, 2000. Total deposits grew 6.9% from March 31, 2000 and 1.3% from December 31, 2000 to $478,639,000 at March 31, 2001. 8 Largely reflecting the utilization of proceeds from loan sales related to the restructuring project and advances totaling $10,000,000 obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the first quarter of 2001, investment securities, which amounted to $151,920,000 at March 31, 2001, increased $32,051,000 or 26.7% in the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001 and $19,536,000 or 14.8% in the first quarter of 2001. Earnings Review The Corporation's net income increased $201,000 or 13.6% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period of 2000. Earnings were positively impacted in the first quarter of 2001 by an increase of $333,000 in noninterest income and by decreases of $109,000 in noninterest expense and $37,000 in the provision for loan losses. These gains were partially offset, however, by a $274,000 or 5.3% decrease in net interest income, which reflected the effects of interest rate declines during the first quarter of 2001 and the balance sheet restructuring project discussed in the "Overview". The interest rate declines, resulting from actions taken by the Federal Reserve, caused a greater reduction in the average yield on earning assets than in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. As noted in the discussion of the restructuring project, non-taxable income related to bank owned life insurance, which replaced a portion of certain loans sold, is recorded as noninterest income, while income on loans sold was recorded as interest income. Income on bank owned life insurance amounted to $157,000 in the 2001 first quarter. The net gain on loans sold, which amounted to $254,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $7,000 in the same period of 2000, included a $151,000 net gain in 2001 related to loans sold in connection with the restructuring project. On an annualized basis, return on average assets increased from 1.13% in the first quarter of 2000 to 1.18% in the first quarter of 2001. Return on average shareholders' equity increased from 11.24% to 11.89% in comparing the same periods. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investments, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in interest rates and in the volume, or average dollar level, and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was $4,908,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $5,182,000 in the same period of 2000. This decrease of $274,000 or 5.3% resulted primarily from a decline in the net yield on earning assets, or net interest margin, from 4.38% in the first quarter of 2000 to 3.88% in the same period of 2001, the effect of which more than offset the benefit of a 7.5% increase in the level of average earning assets. As noted in the "Overview", the level of earning assets was reduced in December 2000 through reinvestment of $10,000,000 of the proceeds from the sale of certain loans in bank owned life insurance, which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and, accordingly, generates noninterest income rather than interest income. On a taxable equivalent basis, the decrease in net interest income in the first quarter of 2001 was $260,000, reflecting changes in the relative mix of taxable and non-taxable earning assets in each period. Table 1 on page 18 sets forth for the periods indicated information with respect to the Corporation's average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income (taxable equivalent basis) from earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, resultant rates earned or paid, net interest income, net interest spread and net yield on earning assets. Net interest spread refers to 9 the difference between the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net yield on earning assets, or net interest margin, refers to net interest income divided by average earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, as measured by volume and rate variances, are also analyzed in Table 1. Volume refers to the average dollar level of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in the net interest margin and net interest spread tend to correlate with movements in the prime rate of interest. There are variations, however, in the degree and timing of rate changes, compared to prime, for the different types of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The prime rate of interest has remained in a fairly narrow band in recent years, averaging 9.21%, 7.99% and 8.37% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This situation has tended to create a degree of stability in the interest rates both earned and paid by the Bank. Nonetheless, the actual level of the prime rate has changed with some frequency as the Federal Reserve has responded to various economic scenarios. Due to concern about inflationary pressures that appeared to be building in the economy, the Federal Reserve elected to raise the level of interest rates in the third and fourth quarters of 1999, resulting in three 25 basis point increases in the prime rate that increased it from 7.75% to 8.50%, thereby effectively reversing similar rate reductions that had occurred in 1998. Continued concerns about possible inflationary pressures caused the Federal Reserve to further raise the level of interest rates in the first six months of 2000, resulting in two additional 25 basis point increases and one 50 basis point increase in the prime rate that raised it to the 9.50% level. While the Corporation tended to see some improvement in the average total yield on earning assets due to the prime rate increases, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by a greater amount, negatively impacting the net interest margin and net interest spread. Due to a general slowdown in the economy that began to be perceived in the 2000 fourth quarter, the Federal Reserve acted to provide a stimulus through a series of interest rate reductions commencing in the 2001 first quarter, resulting in three 50 basis point reductions in the prime rate that lowered it to the 8.00% level at March 31, 2001. This decrease in the prime rate, through the reduction of the average yield on earning assets without a commensurate reduction in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, has tended to negatively impact the net interest margin and net interest spread. Following the increases in 1999, the prime rate averaged 8.66% in the first quarter of 2000. The subsequent increase to a 9.50% prime rate followed by reductions in 2001 to the 8.00% level resulted in an average prime rate of 8.75% in the first quarter of 2001. The net interest spread, in comparing first quarter periods, declined by 51 basis points from 3.70% in 2000 to 3.19% in 2001, reflecting the effect of an increase in the average total yield on earning assets that was more than offset by an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or cost of funds. The yield on earning assets increased by 14 basis points from 8.12% in 2000 to 8.26% in 2001, while the cost of funds increased by 65 basis points from 4.42% to 5.07%. Provision for Loan Losses This provision is the charge against earnings to provide an allowance or reserve for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of each period's charge is affected by several considerations including management's evaluation of various risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance (see "Asset Quality"), actual loan loss experience and loan portfolio growth. Earnings were positively impacted the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 by a $37,000 decrease in the provision. 10 The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans outstanding and reflecting the restatement of historical information for the merger, amounted to 1.13% at March 31, 2001, .92% at March 31, 2000 and 1.13% at December 31, 2000. The increase in the allowance percentage from March 31, 2000 to December 31, 2000 resulted largely from the provision component of approximately $450,000 for the second quarter of 2000 to align the credit risk methodologies of FNB Corp. and Carolina Fincorp. Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased $333,000 or 30.5% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, reflecting in part the general increase in the volume of business. The increase was primarily due to a $247,000 increase in the net gain on sales of loans and to income of $157,000 on bank owned life insurance. As discussed in the "Overview", a balance sheet restructuring project resulted in single premium purchases of life insurance amounting to $10,000,000 in December 2000. Income resulting from the bank owned life insurance is not subject to income tax. The net gain on sales of loans of $254,000 in the first quarter of 2001 included a $151,000 net gain related to loans sold in connection with the restructuring project. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to the improved fee collection efforts that became effective in 2000 subsequent to the first quarter. The decrease in annuity and brokerage commissions largely related to sales of annuity products. Other income was higher in 2000 due mainly to gains on sales of other real estate. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $109,000 or 2.8% lower in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, due in part to the successful implementation of synergies following the merger with Carolina Fincorp on April 10, 2000 as discussed in the "Overview". The decrease in furniture and equipment expense was due mainly to the reduction in depreciation expense related to computer networks that became fully depreciated in the third and fourth quarters of 2000. The cost of data processing services was higher in 2000 than in 2001 because of the outside data processing services employed by Richmond Savings until its merger into First National Bank and Trust Company on June 26, 2000. Other expense benefited in 2001 from a $59,000 reduction in advertising and marketing expense. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate decreased from 31.8% in the first quarter of 2000 to 29.2% in the same period of 2001 due principally to a decrease in the ratio of taxable to tax-exempt income. Liquidity Liquidity refers to the continuing ability of the Bank to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is immediately available from five major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks, (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold, (c) lines for the purchase of federal funds from other banks, (d) the $69,700,000 line of credit established at the Federal Home Loan Bank, less existing advances against that line, and (e) the investment securities portfolio, all of which is categorized as available-for-sale securities. All debt securities are of investment grade quality and, if the need arises, can be promptly liquidated on the open market or pledged as collateral for short-term borrowing. 11 Consistent with its approach to liquidity, the Bank as a matter of policy does not solicit or accept brokered deposits for funding asset growth. Instead, loans and other assets are based primarily on a core of local deposits and the Bank's capital position. To date, the steady increase in deposits, retail repurchase agreements and capital, supplemented by Federal Home Loan Bank advances, has been adequate to fund loan demand in the Bank's market area, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity and a substantial investment securities portfolio available for both immediate and secondary liquidity purposes. Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Senstivity One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity positions, or gaps; however, this method addresses only the magnitude of timing differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios in order to more accurately measure interest rate risk. The Bank's balance sheet was liability-sensitive at March 31, 2001. A liability-sensitive position means that in gap measurement periods of one year or less there are more liabilities than assets subject to immediate repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive interest-bearing liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets, the earnings position could improve in a declining rate environment and could deteriorate in a rising rate environment, depending on the correlation of rate changes in these two categories. Included in interest-bearing liabilities subject to rate changes within 90 days is a portion of the interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits. These types of deposits historically have not repriced coincidentally with or in the same proportion as general market indicators. Capital Adequacy Under guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, capital adequacy is currently measured for regulatory purposes by certain risk-based capital ratios, supplemented by a leverage capital ratio. The risk-based capital ratios are determined by expressing allowable capital amounts, defined in terms of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, which are computed by measuring the relative credit risk of both the asset categories on the balance sheet and various off-balance sheet exposures. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders' equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, net of goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, which is limited to the total of Tier 1 capital, includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory convertible debt, preferred stock and the allowance for loan losses. Tier 3 capital, applicable only to financial institutions subject to certain market risk capital guidelines, is capital allocated to support the market risk related to a financial institution's ongoing trading activities. At March 31, 2001, FNB Corp. and the Bank were not subject to the market risk capital guidelines and, accordingly, had no Tier 3 capital allocation. Total capital, for risk-based purposes, consists of the sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Under current requirements, the minimum total capital ratio is 8.00% and the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 4.00%. At March 31, 2001, FNB Corp. and the Bank had total capital ratios of 15.25% and 14.78%, respectively, and Tier 1 capital ratios of 14.16% and 13.69%. The leverage capital ratio, which serves as a minimum capital standard, considers Tier 1 capital only and is expressed as a percentage of average total assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction of those 12 assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.00%. At March 31, 2001, FNB Corp. and the Bank had leverage capital ratios of 9.92% and 9.59%, respectively. The Bank is also required to comply with prompt corrective action provisions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must have a minimum ratio for total capital of 10.00%, for Tier 1 capital of 6.00% and for leverage capital of 5.00%. As noted above, the Bank met all of those ratio requirements at March 31, 2001 and, accordingly, is well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Balance Sheet Review Total assets at March 31, 2001 were higher than at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 2000 by $48,053,000 or 9.0% and $15,752,000 or 2.8%, respectively; deposits were ahead by $30,934,000 or 6.9% and $6,191,000 or 1.3%. A portion of the asset growth was funded by advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank which at March 31, 2001 had increased by $10,000,000 or 66.7% compared to both March 31, 2000 and December 31, 2000. The level of funds provided by retail repurchase agreements at March 31, 2001 had increased by $1,988,000 or 18.8% from March 31, 2000 and by $1,384,000 or 12.4% from December 31, 2000. Average assets increased 8.9% in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, while average deposits increased 7.9%. Investment Securities Additions to the investment securities portfolio depend to a large extent on the availability of investable funds that are not otherwise needed to satisfy loan demand. In general, because the growth in total assets exceeded that for loans during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001, the level of investment securities was increased $32,051,000 or 26.7%, with a net increase of $19,536,000 or 14.8% occurring in the first quarter of 2001. This growth in investment securities also relates to certain balance sheet strategies, including a restructuring project that commenced in the 2000 fourth quarter (see "Overview") whereby certain loans were sold with the reinvestment of such funds planned for other asset categories including investment securities. Additionally, the funds obtained from advances totaling $10,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the first quarter of 2001 were primarily utilized for the purchase of investment securities. Investable funds not otherwise utilized are temporarily invested on an overnight basis as federal funds sold, the level of which is affected by such considerations as near-term loan demand and liquidity needs. Loans The Corporation's primary source of revenue and largest component of earning assets is the loan portfolio. Loans increased $12,167,000 or 3.2% during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001, with a net loan decrease of $7,213,000 or 1.8% occurring in the first quarter of 2001. Average loans were $27,204,000 or 7.4% higher in the first quarter of 2001 than in the same period of 2000. The ratio of average loans to average deposits, in comparing first quarter periods decreased from 83.7% in 2000 to 83.4% in 2001. The ratio of loans to deposits at March 31, 2001 was 81.2%. The commercial and agricultural loan portfolio experienced strong gains during both the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001 and the first quarter of 2001. Otherwise, the level of the loan portfolio has been affected by the balance sheet restructuring project adopted in the 2000 fourth quarter and discussed 13 in the "Overview". The specific aim of the restructuring project was to reduce the level of lower yielding, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans by selling those loans and redeploying the funds in other types of assets, including specific purchases of bank owned life insurance and a more general redeployment to other loan programs and investment securities. 1-4 family residential mortgage loans totaling $20,938,000 were transferred to loans held for sale, and of that amount, $12,199,000 were sold in 2000 and the remainder were sold in the first quarter of 2001. Funds obtained from these sales were primarily redeployed to single premium purchases of life insurance amounting to $10,000,000 in December 2000 and to purchases of investment securities. Asset Quality Management considers the Bank's asset quality to be of primary importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is used to identify and monitor problem loans. As part of the loan review function, a third party assessment group is employed to review the underwriting documentation and risk grading analysis. In determining the allowance for loan losses and any resulting provision to be charged against earnings, particular emphasis is placed on the results of the loan review process. Consideration is also given to historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, and economic conditions in the Bank's market area. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of the appropriate level of reserve to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Considerations in determining the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses include general economic and lending trends and other factors. Management's policy in regard to past due loans is conservative and normally requires a prompt charge-off to the allowance for loan losses following timely collection efforts and a thorough review. Further efforts are then pursued through various means available. Loans carried in a nonaccrual status are generally collateralized and the possibility of future losses is considered in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The following table presents an analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses.
Three Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------- 2001 2000 ------- ------- (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $4,352 $3,289 Charge-offs 121 40 Recoveries 43 43 --------- --------- Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) 78 (3) Provision for loan losses 120 157 Allowance adjustment for loans sold (43) - --------- --------- Balance at end of period $4,351 $3,449 ========= =========
14 At March 31, 2001, the Bank had impaired loans which totaled $808,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $206,000. At March 31, 2001, nonperforming loans were $3,791,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $3,280,000 and $511,000, respectively. At March 31, 2000, nonperforming loans were $2,173,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $1,841,000 and $332,000, respectively. Deposits The level and mix of deposits is affected by various factors, including general economic conditions, the particular circumstances of local markets and the specific deposit strategies employed. In general, broad interest rate declines tend to encourage customers to consider alternative investments such as mutual funds and tax-deferred annuity products, while interest rate increases tend to have the opposite effect. The Bank's level and mix of deposits has been specifically affected by the following factors. Time deposits, reflecting the effect of promotions for premium-rate certificates of deposit, grew $32,546,000 during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001 and $2,528,000 during the first quarter of 2001. Money market deposits also gained, increasing $5,894,000 during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2001 and $4,659,000 during the first quarter of 2001. Further, the level of time deposits obtained from governmental units fluctuates, amounting to $44,473,000, $46,393,000 and $46,800,000 at March 31, 2001, March 31, 2000 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Business Development Matters As discussed in the "Overview" and in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation completed a merger on April 10, 2000 for the acquisition of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. ("Carolina Fincorp"), holding company for Richmond Savings Bank, Inc., SSB ("Richmond Savings"), headquartered in Rockingham, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. As discussed in the "Overview", management adopted a balance sheet restructuring project in the 2000 fourth quarter that has affected loans and other balance sheet categories in both the 2000 fourth quarter and the 2001 first quarter. In the 1998 fourth quarter, the Bank received regulatory approval for establishment of a new branch office in Trinity, North Carolina. Construction of the permanent Trinity facility is expected to be complete in 2001, resulting in a total capital outlay of approximately $1,000,000, of which approximately one-third was recorded in 1998 related to the purchase of land. Prior to completion of the permanent facility, a temporary mobile office, which opened in August 1999, is being operated at this site. Accounting Pronouncement Matters On January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as further amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Financial Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 138" (collectively referred to as "SFAS No. 133"). This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires 15 that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, on January 1, 2001, the Corporation transferred all of its securities from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio as follows:
Securities Transferred --------------------------------------------- Amortized Estimated Pretax Cost Fair Gain Value (Loss) ---------- ---------- --------- (in thousands) U.S. Government agencies and corporations $36,089 $35,759 $(330) Mortgage-backed securities 483 488 5 State, county and municipal 19,735 20,352 617 Other debt securities 3,054 3,128 74 ------- ------- ----- Total $59,361 $59,727 $ 366 ======= ======= =====
As of January 1, 2001, the transfer of the securities had a net of tax effect of $242,000 on other comprehensive income. On January 1, 2001, the Corporation had no embedded derivative instruments requiring separate accounting treatment and had identified fixed rate conforming loan commitments as its only freestanding derivative instruments. The fair value of these commitments was not material and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, did not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. The fair value of these commitments at March 31, 2001 was not material to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 140"). This statement replaces SFAS No. 125 ("Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities") and revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 without consideration. SFAS No. 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities, based on application of a financial components approach that focuses on control. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 2001. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 140 on April 1, 2001 with no material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Cautionary Satement for Purpose of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "plans", 16 "projects", "goals", "estimates", "may", "could", "should", or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon of comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, from time to time, the Corporation or its representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing.

18 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market price and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods. The Bank's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. The Bank does not maintain a trading account nor is the Bank subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Bank's asset/liability management function, which is discussed above in Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity". Management does not believe there has been any significant change in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and estimated fair values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. 19 PART II.
