NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Basis of Presentation

FNB Corp. is a multi-bank holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiaries are the First National Bank and Trust Company (“First National Bank”), Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc. (“Rowan Bank”) and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”). First National Bank and Rowan Bank are collectively referred to as the “subsidiary banks”. First National Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Investor Services, Inc. Through its subsidiaries, FNB Corp. offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. The subsidiary banks have offices in Chatham, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan and Scotland counties in North Carolina. Dover Mortgage Company operates six mortgage production offices in North Carolina at Charlotte, Goldsboro, Greenville, Lake Norman, Raleigh and Wilmington.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without audit, include the accounts of FNB Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

Rowan Bancorp, Inc.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Rowan Bancorp common stock was converted into either 2.3715 shares of FNB Corp. common stock or $36.00 in cash or a combination of stock and cash, the overall conversion to stock being limited to 45% of Rowan Bancorp shares. The aggregate purchase price was $21,830,000, consisting of $11,205,000 of cash payments, 603,859 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $9,094,000 and outstanding Rowan Bancorp stock options valued at $1,531,000.

The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Rowan Bank were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of August 1, 2002, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The only adjustment recorded during that one-year period related to accrued acquisition costs and resulted in an $18,000 reduction of the amount initially recorded for goodwill. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Rowan Bank since August 1, 2002. Premiums and discounts that resulted from recording the Rowan Bancorp assets and liabilities at their respective fair values are being amortized using methods that approximate an effective yield over the life of the assets and liabilities. The net amortization increased net income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 by $89,000 and $240,000, respectively.

Dover Mortgage Company

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, 50% of the outstanding shares of Dover common stock were converted into FNB Corp. common stock and the remaining 50% were converted into cash. The aggregate purchase price was $5,567,000, consisting of $2,908,000 of cash payments and 126,140 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $2,659,000. Subject to a maximum total payment, Dover shareholders will be entitled to additional cash consideration over the four-year period following closing, based on a percentage of Dover’s pretax net income during that four-year period. Any additional cash consideration paid to Dover shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dover were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of April 1, 2003, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Dover since April 1, 2003.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of merger based on the information currently available is as follows (in thousands):

	April 1, 2003
Assets
Cash and due from banks	$	1,821
Interest-bearing bank balances		907
Loans held for sale		39,593

Other assets acquired		830

Total assets acquired		47,001

Liabilities
Borrowed funds	$	38,947
Other liabilities		2,487

Total liabilities assumed		41,434

Net Assets Acquired and Purchase Price	$	5,567

The portion of the purchase price allocated to goodwill is presented below (in thousands):

	April 1, 2003
Purchase price	$	5,567
Tangible shareholders’ equity of Dover		2,719

Excess of purchase price over carrying value of net tangible assets acquired		2,848
Direct acquisition costs		568

Goodwill	$	3,742

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of FNB Corp. and Dover as if the merger had occurred as of the beginning of the period for each period presented. Net income for Dover prior to the merger does not include a provision for income taxes since Dover had been operating as a Subchapter S corporation and hence was not subject to Federal and state income taxes. The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had FNB Corp. and Dover constituted a single entity during such periods.

	(in thousands)
Investment banking and professional fees	$	568	$	551	$	17

4.	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 for all periods presented. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2003	2002	2003	2002
Basic EPS denominator—Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	5,669,435	5,151,852	5,581,606	4,890,662
Dilutive share effect arising from assumed exercise of stock options	288,363	220,973	284,516	158,950

Diluted EPS denominator	5,957,798	5,372,825	5,866,122	5,049,612

For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, there were 0 and 5,500 stock options, respectively, that were antidilutive since the exercise price exceeded the average market price, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, there were 1,658 and 7,060 stock options, respectively, that were antidilutive. These common stock equivalents were omitted from the calculations of diluted EPS for their respective periods.

5.	Stock Options

The Corporation accounts for awards under employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for such awards in the consolidated financial statements. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as if the compensation cost that would have been determined under the fair value method had been recorded in the consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, is disclosed as follows, for stock option grants in 1995 and subsequent years.

Derivatives and Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended by SFAS Nos. 137, 138 and 149, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those derivatives are reported in current earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting.

The Corporation has identified the following derivative instruments which were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2003: commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and forward sales commitments.

$18,885,000 at September 30, 2003. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net asset of $333,000 at September 30, 2003. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $24,396,000 at September 30, 2003. The related forward sales commitments totaled $18,184,000 at September 30, 2003. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net liability of $52,000 at September 30, 2003. The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk and market risk on the $6,212,000 in loans held for sale for which it does not have forward sales commitments at September 30, 2003.

The subsidiary banks had loans held for sale of $7,516,000 at September 30, 2003. Binding commitments of the subsidiary banks for the origination of mortgage loans intended to be held for sale at September 30, 2003 were not material.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement—Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FASB Interpretation No. 45”), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FASB Interpretation No. 45 requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee, such as the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are effective for all guarantees within the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 45 issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

The subsidiary banks issue standby letters of credit whereby the Corporation guarantees the performance of a customer to a third party if a specified triggering event or condition occurs. The guarantees generally expire within one year and may be automatically renewed depending on the terms of the guarantee. All standby letters of credit provide for recourse against the customer on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued, and this recourse may be further secured by a pledge of assets.

At September 30, 2003, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit was $6,221,000. Due to insignificance, the Corporation has recorded no liability at September 30, 2003 for the current carrying amount of the obligation to perform as a guarantor.

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 subsidiaries, First National Bank and Trust Company (“First National Bank”), Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc. (“Rowan Bank”) and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), collectively referred to as the “Corporation”. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

On August 1, 2002, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Rowan Bancorp, Inc. (“Rowan Bancorp”), holding company for Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc. (“Rowan Bank”), headquartered in China Grove, North Carolina. Per the terms of the merger agreement, Rowan Bank will be operated as a separate subsidiary of FNB Corp. for a period of not less than 24 months; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of Rowan Bank may elect to cause Rowan Bank to merge with First National Bank or another subsidiary of FNB Corp. prior to the termination of the 24-month period. At the date of merger, Rowan Bank operated three offices and, based on estimated fair values, had $134,208,000 in total assets, $95,738,000 in loans and $101,205,000 in deposits. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Rowan Bancorp common stock was converted into either 2.3715 shares of FNB Corp. common stock or $36.00 in cash or a combination of stock and cash, the overall conversion to stock being limited to 45% of Rowan Bancorp shares. The aggregate purchase price was $21,830,000, consisting of $11,205,000 of cash payments, 603,859 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $9,094,000 and outstanding Rowan Bancorp stock options valued at $1,531,000. The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Rowan Bank were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of August 1, 2002, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The only adjustment recorded during that one-year period related to accrued acquisition costs and resulted in an $18,000 reduction of the amount initially recorded for goodwill. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Rowan Bank since August 1, 2002.

On April 1, 2003, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Operating as a separate subsidiary of FNB Corp., Dover originates, underwrites and closes mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. Mortgage production is sold on a service-released basis to a number of national lenders who in turn service the loans. At the date of the merger, Dover operated six offices and, based on estimated fair values, had $47,001,000 in total assets and $5,823,000 in shareholders’ equity. Pursuant to the terms of the merger, 50% of the outstanding shares of Dover common stock were converted into FNB Corp. common stock and the remaining 50% were converted into cash. The aggregate purchase price was $5,567,000, consisting of $2,908,000 of cash payments and 126,140 shares of FNB Corp. common stock valued at $2,659,000. Subject to a maximum total payment, Dover shareholders will be entitled to additional cash consideration over the four-year period following closing, based on a percentage of Dover’s pretax net income during that four-year period. Any additional cash consideration paid to Dover shareholders will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Dover were recorded based on a preliminary estimate of fair values as of April 1, 2003, subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Dover since April 1, 2003.

The Corporation earned $6,475,000 in the first nine months of 2003, an 8.4% increase over earnings of $5,972,000 in the same period in 2002. Basic earnings per share decreased from $1.22 to $1.16 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $1.18 to $1.10 for percentage decreases of 4.9% and 6.8%, respectively. For the 2003 third quarter, earnings amounted to $1,533,000, which represents a 33.1% decrease from earnings of $2,293,000 in the 2002 third quarter. Basic earnings per share in comparing third quarter periods decreased from $.45 to $.27 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $.43 to $.26 for percentage decreases of 40.0% and 39.5%, respectively. As noted above, Rowan Bank and Dover Mortgage Company were acquired as subsidiaries through mergers effective August 1, 2002 and April 1, 2003, respectively, impacting both net income and the calculation of earnings per share since the acquisition dates. Earnings were significantly affected in the 2003 third quarter by items affecting both income from mortgage loan sales and income tax expense as discussed in the “Earnings Review” below. Total assets were $795,275,000 at September 30, 2003, up 7.1% from September 30, 2002 and 5.4% from December 31, 2002, due primarily to the Dover acquisition. Loans amounted to $567,861,000 at September 30, 2003, increasing 14.5% from September 30, 2002 and 13.0% from December 31, 2002. Total deposits were up 3.3% from September 30, 2002 and 1.2% from December 31, 2002, amounting to $599,383,000 at September 30, 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Of these significant accounting policies, the Corporation considers its policy regarding the allowance for loan losses to be its most critical accounting policy, because it requires management’s most subjective and complex judgments. In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Corporation has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Corporation’s assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers which is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. For additional discussion concerning the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and related matters, see “Asset Quality”.

Earnings Review

The Corporation’s net income increased $503,000 or 8.4% in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 and decreased $760,000 or 33.1% in comparing third quarter periods, reflecting in part the acquisitions of Rowan Bank and Dover Mortgage Company on August 1, 2002 and April 1, 2003, respectively, as discussed above. Apart from two specific items that significantly affected earnings in the 2003 third quarter as discussed in the following paragraph, earnings were positively impacted by a $1,239,000 or 6.7% increase in net interest income in the first nine months of 2003, although a $190,000 or 2.8% reduction occurred in the third quarter, and by increases for the first nine months and third quarter of 2003 in noninterest income of $6,918,000 or 124.4% and $1,039,000 or 47.5%, respectively. The net $8,157,000 gain in income from operations for the first nine months of 2003 was significantly offset, however, by increases of $7,496,000 in noninterest expense and $210,000 in the provision for loan losses, while the net $849,000 gain in income for the 2003 third quarter was more than offset by increases of $2,286,000 in noninterest expense and $170,000 in the provision for loan losses. Noninterest income has been significantly augmented by the increase in income from mortgage loan sales following the Dover acquisition, except as noted in the following paragraph. Additionally, noninterest income has been further augmented by the increase in service charges on deposit accounts resulting from the implementation of an overdraft protection program in July 2002 and by

the increased level of income from mortgage loan sales by the subsidiary banks as long-term conforming mortgage rates have remained at historical lows. Noninterest expense has been impacted significantly by the Dover acquisition and also by the Rowan Bank acquisition.

Two items significantly affected the 2003 third quarter results. The Corporation sustained a reduction of approximately $1,250,000 in income from mortgage loan sales of Dover Mortgage Company as a result of the failure to properly obtain forward sales commitments when certain interest rate locks or commitments to lend were entered into with potential borrowers. Failure to adhere to policies in connection with forward sales commitments, along with steep increases in conforming mortgage interest rates, created the reduction in income enumerated above. The Corporation is continuing to review and enhance the controls and procedures in place at this recently acquired subsidiary, which had not been subject to public reporting company requirements previously. The second item, which positively affected the 2003 third quarter results by $213,000, is due to the reduction in income tax expense for the change in the valuation allowance for state deferred income tax assets as a result of management’s judgment that these will now be realized in future periods.

On an annualized basis, return on average assets decreased from 1.27% in the first nine months of 2002 to 1.09% in the first nine months of 2003. Return on average shareholders’ equity decreased from 13.11% to 11.07% in comparing the same periods. In comparing third quarter periods, return on average assets decreased from 1.34% to 0.76% and return on average shareholders’ equity decreased from 13.46% to 7.59%. Return on tangible assets and equity (calculated by deducting average goodwill from average assets and from average equity) for the first nine months of 2003 amounted to 1.11% and 13.72%, respectively, and for the 2003 third quarter amounted to 0.77% and 9.51%.

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 $19,712,000 in the first nine months of 2003 compared to $18,473,000 in the same period of 2002. This increase of $1,239,000 or 6.7% was largely due to the acquisitions of Rowan Bank and Dover Mortgage Company on August 1, 2002 and April 1, 2003, respectively, as discussed above, which was the primary factor resulting in a 24.6% increase in the level of average earning assets, the effect of which was partially offset by a decline in the net yield on earning assets, or net interest margin, from 4.49% in the first nine months of 2002 to 3.83% in the same period of 2003. In comparing third quarter periods, net interest income decreased $190,000 or 2.8% as the effect of the decrease in the net interest margin from 4.44% to 3.70% more than offset the benefit of a 17.3% increase in average earning assets. On a taxable equivalent basis, the increase in net interest income in the first nine months 2003 was $1,224,000 and the decrease in the 2003 third quarter was $169,000, reflecting changes in the relative mix of taxable and non-taxable earning assets in each period.

Table 1 on page 29 and Table 2 on page 30 set 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 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 Tables 1 and 2. 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.

Until the significant interest rate declines in 2001, there had been a much greater degree of stability for several years in the interest rates both earned and paid by the Corporation. After rate cuts totaling 4.75% in 2001 and an additional rate cut of .50% in 2002, the prime rate averaged 6.99% in 2001 and 4.67% in 2002 compared to the average prime rates of 9.21%, 7.99% and 8.37% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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 eight 50 basis point reductions and three 25 basis point reductions in the prime rate that lowered it to the 4.75% level at December 31, 2001. The reductions in the prime rate tended to negatively impact the net interest margin and net interest spread until the 2001 third quarter when these measures began to improve. An additional rate cut of 50 basis points in November 2002 further lowered the prime rate to the 4.25% level at December 31, 2002. In 2003, a rate cut of 25 basis points in June lowered the prime rate to 4.00%.

The Corporation’s net interest margin and net interest spread have been negatively impacted in 2003 due in part to the prime rate reductions in November 2002 and June 2003 but also because of the cumulative effect of the reductions in yields on fixed rate earning assets over an extended period.

The prime rate averaged 4.16% in the first nine months of 2003 compared to 4.75% in the first nine months of 2002. The prime rate averaged 4.00% in the third quarter of 2003 compared to 4.75% in the 2002 third quarter. The net interest spread, in comparing nine-month periods, declined by 53 basis points from 4.12% in 2002 to 3.59% in 2003 reflecting the effect of a decrease in the average total yield on earning assets that more than offset the decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or cost of funds. The yield on earning assets decreased by 116 basis points from 6.87% in 2002 to 5.71% in 2003, while the cost of funds decreased by 63 basis points from 2.75% to 2.12%. In comparing third quarter periods, the net interest spread decreased by 65 basis points from 4.12% to 3.47%, as the yield on earning assets decreased by 128 basis points while the cost of funds decreased by 63 basis points.

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 negatively impacted in the first nine months and third quarter of 2003 by increases in the provision of $210,000 and $170,000, respectively. The 2003 third quarter provision of $455,000 reflected increases in classified assets due to economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 1.14% at September 30, 2003, 1.18% at September 30, 2002 and 1.22% at December 31, 2002. The percentage relationship of the allowance to loans held for investment decreased to 1.14% due to charge-offs of impaired loans which were specifically reserved.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first nine months and third quarter of 2003 increased $6,918,000 or 124.4% and $1,039,000 or 47.5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002, reflecting in large part the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003, as discussed above, and to a lesser extent the acquisition of Rowan Bank on August 1, 2002, as discussed above, and the general increase in the volume of business. The increase, in comparing nine-month periods, was primarily due to a $4,981,000 increase in income from mortgage loan sales and a $1,172,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. Similarly, in comparing third quarter periods, there was a $739,000 increase in income from mortgage loan sales and a $108,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The increase in income from mortgage loan sales was largely due to the Dover acquisition but there was also an increase in the level of income from mortgage loan sales by the subsidiary banks as long-term conforming mortgage rates have remained at historical lows. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to the implementation of an overdraft protection program in July 2002. The increase in annuity and brokerage commissions was largely related to the general increase in the volume of sales of annuity products.

As additionally discussed in the “Earnings Review” in connection with the 2003 third quarter results, the Corporation sustained a reduction of approximately $1,250,000 in income from mortgage loan sales of Dover Mortgage Company as a result of the failure to properly obtain forward sales commitments when certain interest rate locks or commitments to lend were entered into with potential borrowers.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $7,496,000 or 52.6% higher in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 and for the third quarter was $2,286,000 or 43.3% higher, due primarily to the acquisitions of Rowan Bank and Dover Mortgage Company on August 1, 2002 and April 1, 2003, respectively, as discussed above, with the Dover acquisition being the most significant factor with regard to the higher level of noninterest expense after the 2003 first quarter. The largest factor resulting in higher noninterest expense was the generally increased level of personnel expense, which was impacted by increased staffing requirements in addition to what was attributable to the acquisitions of Rowan Bank and Dover, by normal salary adjustments and by higher costs of fringe benefits. The cost of data processing services was higher in the 2003 first quarter because of the outside data processing services employed by Rowan Bank until the conversion to an in-house system in March 2003, with the conversion project separately resulting in $140,000 in expenses. Other expense has been affected commencing in the third quarter of 2002 by expenses related to the new overdraft protection program (see “Noninterest Income”), such expenses amounting to $92,000 in the third quarter of 2002 and $250,000 and $92,000, respectively, in the first nine months and third quarter of 2003.

Income Taxes

As noted in the “Earnings Review”, the 2003 third quarter results were positively affected by a $213,000 reduction in income tax expense for the change in the valuation allowance for state deferred income tax assets as a result of management’s judgment that these will now be realized in future periods. Exclusive of the change in the valuation allowance for state deferred income tax assets, the effective income tax rate

increased slightly from 29.4% in the first nine months of 2002 to 29.7% in the same period of 2003. Due to the decrease in the ratio of taxable to non-taxable income in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002 as a result of the substantially lower level of pre-tax income in 2003, the effective quarterly income tax rate, exclusive of the change in the valuation allowance, decreased from 30.51% in 2002 to 22.0% in 2003.

Liquidity

Liquidity for the subsidiary banks refers to their continuing ability 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 lines of credit established at the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $102,400,000, less existing advances against those lines, and (e) the investment securities portfolio. 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.

Consistent with the general approach to liquidity, loans and other assets of the subsidiary banks are based primarily on a core of local deposits and the subsidiary 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 each subsidiary 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.

Liquidity for Dover Mortgage Company refers to its continuing ability to fund mortgage loan commitments, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the parent company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is principally available from a line of credit with another financial institution.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, various commitments are outstanding that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Significant commitments at September 30, 2003 are discussed below.

Commitments of the subsidiary banks to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. At September 30, 2003, total commitments to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit amounted to $166,669,000. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on the credit evaluation of the borrower.

Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the subsidiary banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At September 30, 2003, the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit was $6,221,000. Due to insignificance, the Corporation has recorded no liability at September 30, 2003 for the current carrying amount of the obligation to perform as a guarantor. All standby letters of credit provide for recourse against the customer on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued, and this recourse may be further secured by a pledge of assets.

Dover Mortgage Company originates certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that Dover enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential mortgage loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Corporation is subject to variability in market prices related to these commitments. The Corporation believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the future sales of these loans by entering into forward sales commitments and commitments to deliver loans into a mortgage-backed security. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and the forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in income from mortgage loan sales. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans totaled $18,885,000 at September 30, 2003. The related forward sales commitments totaled $18,885,000 at September 30, 2003. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net asset of $333,000 at September 30, 2003. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $24,396,000 at September 30, 2003. The related forward sales commitments totaled $18,184,000 at September 30, 2003. The fair value of these commitments was recorded as a net liability of $52,000 at September 30, 2003. The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk and market risk on the $6,212,000 in loans held for sale for which it does not have forward sales commitments at September 30, 2003.

The Corporation does not have any special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the 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 Corporation’s balance sheet was asset-sensitive at September 30, 2003. An asset-sensitive position means that, for cumulative gap measurement periods of one year or less, there are more assets than liabilities subject to immediate repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive interest-bearing liabilities, the earnings position could improve in a rising rate environment and could deteriorate in a declining 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 September 30, 2003, FNB Corp. and each of the subsidiary banks 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 September 30, 2003, FNB Corp. had a total capital ratio of 11.42% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.39%. First National Bank and Rowan Bank had total capital ratios of 12.86% and 13.40%, respectively, and Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.84% and 12.16%, respectively.

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 assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.00%. At September 30, 2003, FNB Corp. had a leverage capital ratio of 7.82%. First National Bank and Rowan Bank had leverage capital ratios of 9.47% and 8.55%, respectively.

First National Bank and Rowan Bank are also required to comply with prompt corrective action provisions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. To be categorized as well-capitalized, a 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, both First National Bank and Rowan Bank met all of those ratio requirements at September 30, 2003 and, accordingly, are well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $52,685,000 or 7.1% higher than at September 30, 2002 and were $40,905,000 or 5.4% higher than at December 31, 2002, due primarily to the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003. Similarly, loans were ahead by $71,763,000 or 14.5% and $65,519,000 or 13.0%, reflecting not only the Dover acquisition but internal loan growth also. Deposits were up by $19,133,000 or 3.3% and $7,029,000 or 1.2%. Affected by both the Dover acquisition and the acquisition of Rowan Bank on August 1, 2002, average assets increased 26.5% in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, while average loans increased 33.8% and average deposits rose 17.0%, the third quarter increases being 18.4%, 25.4% and 8.7%, respectively.

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 of loan funding needs, proceeds from investment maturities and calls were diverted to this purpose, leading to a $23,314,000 or 13.6% reduction in the level of investment securities compared to September 30, 2002. Investable funds not otherwise utilized are temporarily invested as federal funds sold or as interest-bearing balances at other banks, 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. Due largely to the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company on April 1, 2003 as discussed in the “Overview” but also reflecting internal loan growth, loans increased $71,763,000 or 14.5% during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2003. The loan increase during the first nine months of 2003 was $65,519,000 or 13.0%. Affected by both the Dover acquisition and the acquisition of Rowan Bank on August 1, 2002, average loans were $138,421,000 or 33.8% higher in the first nine months of 2003 than in the same period of 2002 and were $116,325,000 or 25.4% higher in the third quarter comparison. The ratio of average loans to average deposits, in comparing nine-month periods, increased from 80.6% in 2002 to 92.3% in 2003. The ratio of loans to deposits at September 30, 2003 was 94.7%.

While the level of the entire loan portfolio has been adversely affected for an extended period by the general slowdown in the economy, the portfolios related to commercial and agricultural loans and commercial and other real estate loans experienced gains during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2003. These same portfolios also experienced gains during the first nine months of 2003. The balance of the 1-4 family residential mortgage loan portfolio, exclusive of the initial impact of the Dover Mortgage Company acquisition, has been affected by the high level of refinancing activity, especially since certain loans previously included in the “held for investment” category were refinanced and subsequently sold.

Asset Quality

Management considers the asset quality of the subsidiary banks 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 a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, and economic conditions in the market areas of the subsidiary banks. 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. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses of each of the subsidiary banks. Such agencies may require the subsidiary banks to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

At September 30, 2003, the Corporation had impaired loans which totaled $904,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $558,000. At September 30, 2002, the Corporation had impaired loans which totaled $1,560,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $610,000. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had impaired loans which totaled $3,211,000 and were also on nonaccrual status. The related allowance for loan losses on these loans amounted to $1,401,000.

At September 30, 2003, nonperforming loans were $6,410,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $5,370,000 and $1,040,000, respectively. At September 30, 2002, nonperforming loans were $5,150,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $4,552,000 and $598,000, respectively. At December 31, 2002, nonperforming loans were $6,212,000 in total, nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounting to $4,944,000 and $1,268,000, respectively.

A model that considers both allocated and unallocated components of the allowance for loan losses is used on a quarterly basis to analyze the adequacy of the allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Homogeneous pools of loans are segregated, and classifications of individual loans within certain of these pools are identified using risk grades derived from regulatory guidelines. Allocations of estimated reserves are assigned to the most adversely classified loans based upon an individual analysis of present-value repayment and/or liquidation projections of each loan. The reserve is allocated to each pool, and remaining classifications within pools, based upon a two-year historical loss ratio of First National Bank, concentrations within industries, economic and industry-specific trends, portfolio trends, and other subjective factors. An additional portion of the reserve is unallocated to any specific portion of the loan portfolio, and is based upon the mix and weight of the several homogeneous pools. The determination within the allowance model of allocated and unallocated components is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire balance of the allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses of $6,098,000 at September 30, 2003 is adequate to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio; however, assessing the adequacy of the allowance is a process that requires considerable judgment. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current events which it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance or that future increases in the allowance will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the allowance, thus adversely affecting the operating results of the Corporation.

The following table presents an analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses.

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 level and mix of deposits has been specifically affected by the following factors. Interest-bearing demand deposits had the most significant growth of any component of deposits, increasing $21,620,000 during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2003 and $4,307,000 during the first nine months of 2003. By similar comparison, money market deposits have also grown significantly, increasing $11,850,000 during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2003 and $5, 222,000 during the first nine months of 2003. Time deposits decreased $22,505,000 during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2003 and $10,173,000 during the first nine months of 2003, reflecting the effect of interest rate declines. Additionally, the level of time deposits obtained from governmental units fluctuates, amounting to $48,401,000, $47,002,000 and $42,323,000 at September 30, 2003, September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Business Development Matters

As discussed in the “Overview” and in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation completed a merger on August 1, 2002 for the acquisition of Rowan Bancorp, Inc., holding company for Rowan Savings Bank SSB, Inc., headquartered in China Grove, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.

As also discussed in the “Overview” and in Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation completed a merger on April 1, 2003 for the acquisition of Dover Mortgage Company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.

In the 1998 fourth quarter, First National Bank received regulatory approval for establishment of a new branch office in Trinity, North Carolina. Construction of the permanent Trinity facility was completed in February 2002, resulting in a total capital outlay of approximately $1,400,000. Prior to completion of the permanent facility, a temporary mobile office, which opened in August 1999, was operated at this site.

In April 2002, First National Bank received regulatory approval for establishment of a new branch office in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The office, located in a leased facility which had previously been used as a banking office by another financial institution, was renovated and then opened for business in October 2002.

In August 2003, First National Bank received regulatory approval for relocation of its existing branch offices in Laurinburg and Randleman, North Carolina. Construction of the new offices is expected to be complete by the end of 2004. The Laurinburg office will replace a leased facility, while the Randleman office represents a move from an owned facility that is expected to be disposed of.

Accounting Pronouncement Matters

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS No. 146”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. SFAS No. 146 applies to costs associated with an exit activity that does not involve an entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity covered by SFAS No. 144. Those costs include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) termination benefits provided to current employees that are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a benefit arrangement that, in substance, is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred compensation contract (hereinafter referred to as one-time termination benefits), (b) costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease and (c) costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees. SFAS No. 146 does not apply to costs associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset covered by SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. A liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is incurred when the definition of a liability is met. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 with no effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS No. 148”). SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also requires prominent disclosure about the effects of reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. These provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. Finally, SFAS No. 148 amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. The Corporation has adopted the disclosure provisions.

guarantee, such as the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. The disclosure requirements are effective for interim and annual financial statements ending after December 15, 2002. The initial recognition and measurement provisions are effective for all guarantees within the scope of FASB Interpretation No. 45 issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Corporation issues standby letters of credit whereby the Corporation guarantees performance if a specified triggering event or condition occurs. The guarantees generally expire within one year and may be automatically renewed depending on the terms of the guarantee. Information concerning standby letters of credit is presented in “Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk” and in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (FASB Interpretation No. 46”), which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, an enterprise that holds significant variable interest in a variable interest entity but is not the primary beneficiary is required to disclose the nature, purpose, size and activities of the variable interest entity, its exposure to loss as a result of the variable interest holder’s involvement with the entity, and the nature of its involvement with the entity, and date when the involvement began. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is required to disclose the nature, purpose, size and activities of the variable interest entity, the carrying amount and classification of consolidated assets that are collateral for the variable interest entity’s obligations, and any lack of recourse by creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of a consolidated variable interest entity to the general creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of a consolidated variable interest entity to the general credit of the primary beneficiary. FASB Interpretation No. 46 is effective for the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Corporation adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 with no effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 149”), which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS No. 133”). SFAS No. 149 clarifies when a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, clarifies when a derivative instrument contains a financing component, amends the definition of an underlying to conform it to language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45. SFAS No. 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS No. 149 is effective for most contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. For contracts with forward purchases or sales of TBA-type securities or other securities that do not yet exist, SFAS No. 149 is effective for both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS No. 150”), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting

the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150 with no effect on its consolidated financial statements.

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 Corporation’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of the Corporation’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 Corporation does not maintain a trading account nor is the Corporation subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Corporation’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, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Corporation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Corporation, however, is continuing to review and enhance the disclosure controls and procedures in place at Dover Mortgage Company, which it acquired in the second quarter of 2003 and which was not subject to public reporting company requirements prior to the acquisition, to ensure that they are consistent with the controls and procedures in place at FNB Corp.’s other subsidiaries.

There were no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. However, the Corporation is continuing to review and enhance the controls and procedures in place at its recently acquired subsidiary, Dover Mortgage Company, which was not subject to public reporting company requirements prior to the acquisition.

EX-10.24 3 dex1024.htm INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT Incentive Stock Option Agreement

EXHIBIT 10.24

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of , 20 , by and between FNB Corp., a North Carolina corporation having its principal office in Asheboro, North Carolina (the “Company”), and , a key employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (hereinafter called the “Option Holder”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted, and the shareholders of the Company have approved, the FNB Corp. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (hereinafter called the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the value to it of the services of the Option Holder as an employee and desires to furnish him with added incentive and inducement to contribute to the success of the Company; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has authorized the grant of an Incentive Stock Option to the Option Holder on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and the Option Holder desires to accept the option on such terms and conditions;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:

1. Grant of Option. Subject to the Plan, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company hereby grants to the Option Holder an Incentive Stock Option to purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, all or any part of an aggregate of shares of the Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share, of the Company at the purchase price of $ per share (the “Option”), exercisable in the amounts and at the times set forth in this paragraph l. Unless sooner terminated as provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and all rights of the Option Holder hereunder shall expire, on , 20 .

The Option may be exercised in installments as follows:

(a) up to shares (20% of the total shares subject to the Option) on and at any time after , 20 and prior to termination of the Option;

(b) up to shares (40% of the total shares subject to the Option), less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option, on and at any time after , 20 and prior to termination of the Option;

(c) up to shares (60% of the total shares subject to the Option), less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option, on and at any time after , 20 and prior to termination of the Option;

(d) up to shares (80% of the total shares subject to the Option), less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option, on and at any time after , 20 and prior to termination of the Option;

(e) all shares, less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option, on and at any time after , 20 ;

provided, however, that not less than 100 shares may be purchased at any one time unless the number purchased is the total number that may be purchased under the Option at that time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 3(b) of this Agreement, the Option shall become immediately exercisable as to all shares subject to the Option, less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option, on and at any time after the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company and prior to termination of the Option.

2. Nontransferability of Option. The Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than upon the death of the Option Holder by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

3. Termination of Option. The Option shall terminate and be no longer exercisable after , 20 ; provided, however, that the Option shall sooner terminate as follows:

(a) If the Option Holder’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminates for any reason other than the Option Holder’s death or permanent and total disability, then the Option shall terminate on the date that is three months after the effective date of the Option Holder’s termination of employment.

(b) If the Option Holder’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminates because of his permanent and total disability, then the Option shall terminate on the date that is one year after the effective date of the Option Holder’s termination of employment due to disability.

(c) If the Option Holder’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminates by reason of death, then the Option shall terminate on the date that is one year after the date of the Option Holder’s death. The Option may be exercised during this one-year period by the person or persons to whom the Option Holder’s rights under the Option pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(d) If the Company shall be a party to any merger or consolidation in which it is not the surviving corporation or pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company exchange their Common Stock, or if the Company shall dissolve or liquidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets, then in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 1 of this Agreement, the Option Holder shall be provided the opportunity to participate in the transaction on the same basis as other shareholders of the Company with respect to all shares subject to the Option (less any shares previously purchased pursuant to the Option), but if the Option Holder elects not to participate on the same basis as other shareholders, the Option shall terminate on the effective date of such merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or sale; provided, however, that the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may, prior to such effective date, accelerate the time at which the Option may be exercised, may authorize a payment to the Option Holder that approximates the economic benefit that would be realized if the Option were exercised immediately before the effective date, may authorize a payment in such other amount as it deems appropriate to compensate the Option Holder for termination of the Option, or may arrange for the granting of a substitute option to the Option Holder.

Any Option that may be exercised for a period following termination of the Option Holder’s employment may be exercised only to the extent it was exercisable immediately before such termination and in no event after the Option would expire by its terms without regard to such termination.

4. Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercised by the tender of payment in accordance with this Section 4 and delivery to the Company at its principal place of business of a written notice, which shall:

(a) state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised;

(b) be signed by the Option Holder or his personal representative and, if by his personal representative, accompanied by proof of the personal representative’s appointment and qualification.

After receipt of such notice in a form satisfactory to the Company and receipt of payment in full, the Company shall deliver to the Option Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares purchased hereunder, provided, that if any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the shares specified in such notice before the issuance thereof, the date of delivery of such shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action. Payment of the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised must be in the form of (i) cash or certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) nonforfeitable, unrestricted shares of Common Stock that have been owned by the Option Holder for at least six months and have a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) at the time of exercise that is equal to the purchase price, together with any applicable withholding taxes, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing.

5. Tax Matters. The Option Holder acknowledges that, in the event of certain dispositions of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option, he will recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes (generally in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the option price paid therefor) and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. Consequently, the Option Holder agrees that, in the event of any disposition of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of the Option within two years from the date of the grant of the Option or within one year after the delivery of a stock certificate evidencing such shares, he will (a)promptly notify the Company of such disposition, of the name of the transferee and, in the case of a sale, of the sale price for such shares, and (b) pay, or make arrangements to pay, to the Company an amount equal to any income and other taxes that it is required to withhold as a result of the disposition and, unless such payment or arrangement is made, the Company shall be entitled to withhold, from other sums payable to him, the amount of such income and other taxes.

6. Compliance with Securities Laws. The Option Holder recognizes that any registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Option under applicable federal and state securities laws, or actions to qualify for applicable exemptions from such registrations, shall be at the option of the Company. The Option Holder acknowledges that, in the event that no such registrations are undertaken and the Company relies on exemptions from such registrations, the shares shall be issued only if the Option Holder qualifies to receive such

shares in accordance with the exemptions from registration on which the Company relies and that, in connection with any issuance of certificates evidencing such shares, the Board of Directors may require appropriate representations from the Option Holder and take such other action as the Board of Directors may deem necessary, including but not limited to placing restrictive legends on such certificates and delivering stop transfer instructions to the Company’s stock transfer agent, or delivering such instructions to the Company’s transfer agent, in order to assure compliance with any such exemptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, (a) no shares will be issued upon any exercise of the Option unless and until such shares have been registered under all applicable federal and state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, all actions necessary to qualify for exemptions from such registrations shall have been taken and (b) the Company shall have no obligation to undertake such registrations or such actions necessary to qualify for exemptions from registrations and shall have no liability whatsoever for not doing so except to refund any option price tendered to the Company. The Option Holder further acknowledges that, notwithstanding registration, if, at the time of exercise of the Option, he is deemed an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any shares purchased upon exercise of the Option will nevertheless be subject to sale only in compliance with Rule 144 (but without any holding period), and that the Company may take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to assure such compliance, including placing restrictive legends on certificates evidencing such shares and delivering stop transfer instructions to the Company’s stock transfer agent.

7. Rights of a Shareholder. The Option Holder shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by this Option unless this Option shall have been exercised and the exercise price paid in the manner provided herein. Except as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights where the record date is prior to the date of exercise and payment. Upon the exercise of the Option and the issuance of the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock received, except as otherwise provided herein, the Option Holder shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company including the rights to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to such shares.

8. No Right to Employment. Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any existing contractual arrangement to the contrary, to terminate the Option Holder’s employment at any time for any reason whatsoever.

9. Construction. Whenever the words “Option Holder” are used in any provision of this Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to (i) the estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom this Option may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) the guardian or legal representative of the Option Holder acting pursuant to a valid power of attorney or the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, then the term “Option Holder” shall be construed to include such estate, personal representative, beneficiary, guardian or legal representative.

10. Successor and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successors or assigns of the Company and of the Option Holder.

11. Notices. Notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when personally delivered, (ii) when delivered by Federal Express or another private carrier which maintains records showing delivery information, (iii) when sent via facsimile but only if a written facsimile acknowledgment of receipt is received by the sending party, or (iv) on the third day following deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom such notice is being given. Any notice to be given to the Company shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at 101 Sunset Avenue, Asheboro, North Carolina 27203.

12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina.

13. Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Option Holder and the Company have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
