First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Second Quarter 2002 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note A Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. as of and for each of the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2001 First Citizens BancShares, Inc. Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference on Form 10-K. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with statement presentations for 2002. However, the reclassifications have no effect on shareholders' equity or net income as previously reported. At January 1, 2002, management reviewed the estimated useful lives of all amortizing intangible assets, including intangibles accounted for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 72 (FAS 72 goodwill). As a result of this review, management determined that, in certain instances, a shorter life was appropriate. Accordingly, the estimated useful lives were shortened, and the carrying value of FAS 72 goodwill is being amortized over the respective asset's estimated remaining useful life. First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Second Quarter 2002 Note B New Accounting Standards On January 1, 2002, BancShares fully adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (Statement 142), which provides guidance for the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimated useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and be reviewed for impairment in accordance with existing accounting guidance. Certain provisions of Statement 142 were effective on July 1, 2001, and the statement was fully adopted by BancShares on January 1, 2002. In connection with Statement 142's transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, we have completed an assessment to determine whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. Based on the initial assessment, there was no evidence of impairment, and there was no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill. In the future, BancShares will annually review goodwill for impairment under the provisions of Statement 142. In accordance with the provisions of Statement 142, BancShares discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. Set forth below is a summary of goodwill activity during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, all of which relates to a single reporting unit, FCB:
2002 2001 ------------------------------ Balance, January 1 $ 41,240 $ 46,340 Amortization - 2,550 ============================== Balance, June 30 $ 41,240 $ 43,790 ==============================
The following information relates to other intangible assets, all of which are being amortized:
June 30, December 31, June 30, 2002 2001 2001 ---------------------------------------------- Amortized intangible assets $ 63,678 $ 70,328 $ 73,529
During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, BancShares recorded amortization expense of $3,215 and $1,628 related to these intangible assets. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, BancShares recorded amortization expense of $6,650 and $3,218 related to these intangible assets. Based on current estimated useful lives and current carrying values, BancShares anticipates amortization expense for intangible assets in subsequent periods to be:
Projected amortization expense: Year ended December 31, 2002 $ 13,080 Year ended December 31, 2003 12,195 Year ended December 31, 2004 10,859 Year ended December 31, 2005 9,490 Year ended December 31, 2006 8,283
The following table describes the impact of the adoption of Statement 142 on net income and net income per share:
Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Addition of goodwill amortization - 1,275 - 2,550 ================================================================ Adjusted net income $ 23,130 $ 23,279 $ 46,328 $ 47,413 ================================================================ Net income per share $ 2.21 $ 2.09 $ 4.42 $ 4.27 Addition of goodwill amortization - 0.12 - 0.24 ================================================================ Adjusted net income per share $ 2.21 $ 2.21 $ 4.42 $ 4.51 ================================================================
First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Second Quarter 2002 Note C Operating Segments BancShares conducts its banking operations through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, FCB and ASB. Although FCB and ASB offer similar products and services to customers, each entity operates in distinct geographic markets and each entity has a separate management group. Additionally, the financial results and trends of ASB reflect the de novo nature of its growth. FCB is a mature banking institution that operates from a single charter from its branch network in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. ASB began operations in 1997 and currently operates branches in Georgia and Florida under a federal thrift charter. ASB has announced plans to expand its branch network into the Austin, Texas and Scottsdale, Arizona markets before the end of 2002. ASB's significance to BancShares' consolidated financial results continues to grow. Accordingly, management has determined that FCB and ASB are reportable business segments. In the aggregate, FCB and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are integral to its branch operation, and ASB account for more than 90 percent of consolidated assets, revenues and net income. Other includes activities of the parent company, two subsidiaries that are the issuing trusts for outstanding preferred securities, Neuse, Incorporated, a subsidiary that owns real property used in the banking operation and American Guaranty Insurance Corporation, a property insurance company. The adjustments in the accompanying tables represent the elimination of the impact of certain inter-company transactions. The adjustments to interest income and interest expense neutralize the earnings and cost of inter-company borrowings. The adjustments to noninterest income and noninterest expense reflect the elimination of management fees and other services fees paid by one company to another within BancShares' consolidated group.

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Second Quarter 2002 INTRODUCTION Management's discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial data are presented to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("BancShares"). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes presented within this report. The focus of this discussion concerns our two banking subsidiaries. First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company ("FCB") operates branches in North Carolina, West Virginia, and Virginia. Atlantic States Bank ("ASB") operates offices in Georgia and Florida and has recently announced plans to expand into the Austin, Texas and Scottsdale, Arizona markets. ASB's expansion into these new markets will be accomplished through its new division IronStone Bank. SUMMARY BancShares realized an increase in earnings during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001. Consolidated net income during the second quarter of 2002 was $23.1 million, compared to $22.0 million earned during the corresponding period of 2001. The $1.1 million or 5.1 percent increase during 2002 results from growth in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by the impact of higher noninterest expense and provision for loan losses. Net income per share during the second quarter of 2002 totaled $2.21, compared to $2.09 during the second quarter of 2001. Return on average assets was 0.79 percent for the second quarter of 2002, unchanged from the same period in 2001. Return on average equity for the second quarter of 2002 was 10.12 percent compared to 10.52 percent during the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months of 2002, we recorded net income of $46.3 million, compared to $44.9 million earned during the first six months of 2001. The $1.5 million or 3.3 percent increase was the result of higher net interest income and noninterest income, the benefit of which more than offset the impact of higher noninterest expense and provision for loan losses. Net income per share for the first six months of 2002 was $4.42, compared to $4.27 during the same period of 2001. We returned 0.80 percent on average assets during the first six months of 2002 compared to 0.83 percent during the corresponding period of 2001. Return on average equity for the first six months of 2002 was 10.32 percent compared to 10.91 percent during the same period of 2001. Various profitability, liquidity and capital ratios are presented in Table 1. To understand the changes and trends in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, refer to the average balance sheets presented in Table 4 for the second quarter and Table 5 for the first six months of 2002 and 2001. INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS Interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2002 averaged $10.49 billion, an increase of $539.1 million or 5.4 percent from the second quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, earning assets averaged $10.42 billion, an increase of $637.5 million or 6.5 percent over the same period of 2001. Increases during the second quarter and the first six months of 2002 resulted primarily from growth in investment securities. Loans. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, gross loans totaled $7.43 billion and $7.06 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2001, gross loans were $7.20 billion. The $376.6 million growth in loans from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002 results from growth within real estate lending. As of June 30, 2002, we had $3.2 million in residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale. All loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Table 2 details outstanding loans by type for the past five quarters. During the second quarter of 2002, loans averaged $7.31 billion, an increase of $172.8 million or 2.4 percent from the comparable period of 2001. Growth among EquityLine customers has remained strong, while demand among commercial customers was more modest. Demand for other products was sluggish. For the year-to-date, gross loans have averaged $7.26 billion for 2002 compared to $7.12 billion for the same period of 2001. This $139.8 million or 2.0 percent increase reflects the growth in commercial real estate loans and retail home equity loans. BancShares has experienced weak loan demand among other loan categories throughout its market areas during the past year. Management anticipates continued growth among EquityLine loans and more modest growth among commercial-purpose loans during the remainder of 2002. We project consumer loans will be essentially unchanged due to weak demand for automobile loans. Growth projections are largely dependent on economic conditions, as the sluggish economy has caused many commercial customers to delay business expansion and concerns about unemployment have caused many retail customers to defer purchases of large-ticket items that would normally require purchase money financing. Investment securities. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, investment securities held to maturity totaled $2.33 billion and $1.95 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2001, the held-to-maturity portfolio was $2.66 billion. The $328.5 million or 12.4 percent decrease in the portfolio of investment securities held to maturity since December 31, 2001 resulted from the growth in loans outpacing the growth in deposits. All securities that are classified as held-to-maturity reflect our ability and positive intent to hold those investments until their scheduled maturity. Investment securities available for sale totaled $134.4 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $132.4 million at December 31, 2001 and $42.0 million at June 30, 2001. Growth in available-for-sale securities results from purchases with the liquidity generated during the fourth quarter of 2001 from the issuance of $100 million in trust-preferred securities. Investment securities available for sale are reported at their aggregate fair value. Table 3 presents detailed information relating to the investment securities portfolio. Investment securities averaged $2.64 billion during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $598.9 million or 29.3 percent over the same period of 2001. For the first six months of 2002, investment securities averaged $2.67 billion, compared to $1.95 billion during the same period of 2001, an increase of $723.6 million or 37.1 percent. Increases during the second quarter and first six months of 2002 above the respective periods of 2001 result from strong growth in deposits during 2001 and early 2002, when loan demand was very limited. We anticipate reductions among investment securities held to maturity during the remainder of 2002 as maturing securities are used to fund anticipated loan demand. Sales of investment securities available for sale are possible as BancShares begins to deploy to its banking subsidiaries the capital generated through the trust-preferred securities issued during 2001. Overnight investments. Overnight investments totaled $538.9 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $501.9 million at December 31, 2001 and $936.4 million at June 30, 2001. These investments, which include federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks, averaged $537.5 million during the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $232.6 million or 30.2 percent from the second quarter of 2001. Income on Interest-Earning Assets. Interest income amounted to $151.8 million during the second quarter of 2002, a $30.9 million or 16.9 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2001. The reduction in interest income reflects the net impact of a 157 basis point reduction in the taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the 5.4 percent increase in average earning assets. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets declined from 7.38 percent in the second quarter of 2001 to 5.81 percent in the second quarter of 2002, more than offsetting the impact of the growth among earning assets. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, interest income totaled $307.9 million, a reduction of $63.8 million or 17.2 percent from the same period of 2001. The taxable-equivalent yield on all interest-earning assets fell from 7.68 percent during the first six months of 2001 to 5.96 percent during the same period of 2002, a 172 basis point reduction. Loan interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $123.0 million, a reduction of $22.1 million or 15.2 percent from the second quarter of 2001 due to loan yield reductions. The taxable-equivalent yield on the loan portfolio was 6.76 percent during the second quarter of 2002, compared to 8.18 percent during the same period of 2001, the reduction resulting from lower market rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, loan interest income was $247.2 million, a decrease of $48.9 million or 16.5 percent from the same period of 2001. The decrease in interest income reflects the decline in loan yields. Income earned on investment securities was $26.5 million during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $29.2 million during the second quarter of 2001. Much of the decrease can be attributed to lower yields, which decreased 171 basis points from the second quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2002, more than offsetting the impact of growth in the investment securities portfolio. The yield on average investment securities was 5.74 percent during the second quarter of 2001 and 4.03 percent during the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, income earned on the investment securities portfolio amounted to $56.7 million in 2002 compared to $58.2 million during the same period of 2001, a decrease of $1.5 million or 2.6 percent. This decrease is the result of a 175 basis point decline in the taxable-equivalent yield. The investment securities portfolio's taxable-equivalent yield decreased from 6.03 percent in 2001 to 4.28 percent in 2002. INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES At June 30, 2002 and 2001, interest-bearing liabilities totaled $9.12 billion and $8.81 billion, respectively, compared to $9.21 billion as of December 31, 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, interest-bearing liabilities averaged $9.08 billion, an increase of $353.7 million or 4.1 percent over the second quarter of 2001. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, interest-bearing liabilities averaged $9.07 billion, an increase of $477.3 million or 5.6 percent over the same period of 2001. For both the quarter and the six-month periods, the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities primarily resulted from growth in money market accounts and long-term obligations. Deposits. At June 30, 2002, total deposits were $10.07 billion, an increase of $585.1 million or 6.2 percent over June 30, 2001. Compared to the December 31, 2001 balance of $9.96 billion, total deposits have increased $103.6 million or 1.0 percent. Average interest-bearing deposits were $8.29 billion during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $7.90 billion during the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $388.1 million or 4.9 percent. Much of the increase is due to growth among money market accounts, which increased $560.4 million or 33.4 percent from the second quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2002. Average Checking With Interest deposits increased $109.8 million or 9.6 percent from the second quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2002. Average time deposits decreased $316.0 million or 7.1 percent between the two periods. Time deposits of $100,000 or more averaged 10.90 percent of total average deposits during the second quarter of 2002, compared to 11.37 percent during the same period of 2001. Interest-bearing deposits averaged $8.25 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $7.79 billion during the same period of 2001, an increase of $461.6 million or 5.9 percent. Average money market deposits increased $507.0 million or 30.5 percent during 2002, while average time deposits decreased $192.4 million or 4.4 percent. We attribute much of the growth among non-time deposits during the second quarter and the first six months of 2002 to strong demand for traditional bank deposits by customers who are fearful of riskier investment options. We believe the reduction in time deposits results from customer avoidance of investing at a fixed-rate during a period of historically low deposit yields. In the near-term, as economic conditions remain strained, we anticipate continued demand for bank deposit products with moderate growth in outstanding deposits. As economic conditions improve, we anticipate deposit run-off as investors return to more aggressive investment strategies. Short-term Borrowings. At June 30, 2002, short-term borrowings totaled $507.0 million compared to $611.4 million at December 31, 2001 and $677.2 million at June 30, 2001. For the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, short-term borrowings averaged $522.4 million and $664.3 million, respectively. This $141.8 million or 21.4 percent decrease resulted from lower master note and federal fund borrowings. For the six-month periods ended June 30, short-term borrowings averaged $552.1 million and $654.7 million during 2002 and 2001, respectively, a $102.6 million or 15.7 percent reduction. Long-term Obligations. Long-term obligations were $254.0 million, $284.0 million and $154.8 million at June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively. These borrowings averaged $262.2 million during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $107.4 million or 69.4 percent over the first quarter of 2001. The growth in average long-term obligations relates to the October 2001 issuance of $100.0 million in trust-preferred securities. The rate on long-term obligations during the second quarter of 2002 was 8.23 percent, unchanged from the same period of 2001. Expense on Interest-Bearing Liabilities. Our interest expense amounted to $55.0 million during the second quarter of 2002, a $36.4 million or 39.8 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2001. The lower interest expense was the result of the reduction in interest rates. The rate on these average liabilities was 2.43 percent during the second quarter of 2002 compared to 4.21 percent during the same period of 2001, a 178 basis point reduction. For the year to date, interest expense was $114.2 million, compared to $187.9 million for the same period of 2001. The 39.2 percent decrease results from a 187 basis point reduction in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities. The blended rate fell from 4.41 percent during the first six months of 2001 to 2.54 percent during the same period of 2002. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income totaled $96.7 million during the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $5.5 million or 6.1 percent from the $91.2 million recorded during the second quarter of 2001. The growth in net interest income during the second quarter of 2002 was volume-driven, as the aggregate impact of changes in interest rates yielded a reduction in net interest income. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.71 percent for the second quarter of 2002, an increase of 2 basis points from the 3.69 percent reported for the second quarter of 2001. The taxable equivalent interest rate spread for the second quarter of 2002 was 3.38 percent compared to 3.17 percent for the same period of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net interest income totaled $193.7 million, an increase of $10.0 million or 5.4 percent from the same period of 2001. Like the second quarter, the increase in year-to-date net interest income resulted from balance sheet growth, the impact of which was greater than the impact of falling interest rates. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.76 percent for the first six months of 2002, a 5 basis points reduction from the 3.81 percent reported for the first six months of 2001. The taxable equivalent interest rate spread for the first six months of 2002 was 3.42 percent compared to 3.27 percent for the same period of 2001. A principal objective of our asset/liability management function is to manage interest rate risk or the exposure to changes in interest rates. We maintain portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with maturities or repricing opportunities that will protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, thereby limiting, to the extent possible, the ultimate interest rate exposure. Management is aware of the potential negative impact that movements in market interest rates may have on net interest income. Market risk is the potential economic loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk can either result in diminished current fair values or reduced net interest income in future periods. As of June 30, 2002, our market risk profile has not changed significantly from December 31, 2001. ASSET QUALITY Reserve for loan losses. We continuously analyze the growth and risk characteristics of the total loan portfolio under current economic conditions in order to evaluate the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses. Such factors as the financial condition of the borrower, fair market value of collateral and other considerations are considered in establishing the reserve for loan losses. We continually review the assumptions imbedded within the model used to calculate the loan loss reserve. Business loans are generally graded, and those credit grades become the basis for the loss estimates based on historical experience. For all other loans, loss estimates are made by management based on historical data and current economic trends. Based on the model, at June 30, 2002, the reserve for loan losses amounted to $110.5 million, compared to $107.1 million at December 31, 2001 and $105.0 million at June 30, 2001. In each period, the reserve represented 1.49 percent of loans outstanding. We consider the established reserve adequate to absorb losses that relate to loans outstanding at June 30, 2002, although future adjustments to the reserve may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the reserve for loan losses. These agencies may require the recognition of adjustments to the reserve based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. The provision for loan losses charged to operations during the second quarter of 2002 was $7.8 million, compared to $5.4 million during the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $2.4 million or 45.0 percent. For the six-month periods ended June 30, total provision for loan losses was $13.8 million for 2002 and $11.1 million for 2001, increases of $2.7 million or 24.7 percent. The increase during the second quarter and first six months of 2002 results from higher levels of net charge-offs and nonperforming assets and general economic uncertainty. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $6.0 million, compared to net charge-offs of $3.4 million during the same period of 2001, an increase of $2.6 million or 76.8 percent. On an annualized basis, these net charge-offs represent 0.33 percent and 0.19 percent of average loans outstanding during the respective periods. Net charge-offs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 totaled $10.4 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 31.5 percent over the $7.9 million recorded during the same period of 2001. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the losses represent 0.29 percent for 2002 and 0.22 percent for 2001 on an annualized basis. Gross charge-offs totaled $12.7 million and $9.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively. Gross recoveries were $2.2 million and $1.7 million for the respective periods. During 2002, as a result of the recessionary economy, we have experienced an increase in commercial and leasing charge-offs, although those losses have been partially offset by recoveries of amounts previously charged off. Among retail loans, we have noted higher levels of direct installment charge-offs and losses among real estate loans secured by first mortgage loans and revolving home equity loans. We are encouraged that our credit card and other retail unsecured losses have remained largely unchanged from 2001. Table 6 provides details concerning the reserve and provision for loan losses over the past five quarters and for the year-to-date for 2002 and 2001. Nonperforming assets. At June 30, 2002, our nonperforming assets amounted to $28.0 million or 0.38 percent of gross loans plus foreclosed properties, compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2001, and $15.5 million at June 30, 2001. Nonaccrual loans totaled $17.4 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $14.0 million at December 31, 2001 and $12.7 million at June 30, 2001. The $3.4 million increase in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002 results from higher levels of commercial nonaccrual loans. At June 30, 2002, the balance of other real estate includes $6.1 million that we transferred from premises and equipment to other real estate during the first quarter when management elected to classify the property as held for sale. FCB has entered into an agreement to sell this property, subject to the satisfaction of various contingencies, during the third quarter of 2002. Despite the volatility in recent quarters, we view these levels of nonperforming assets as further evidence of strong asset quality. Management continues to closely monitor nonperforming assets, taking necessary actions to minimize potential exposure. NONINTEREST INCOME During the first six months of 2002, noninterest income was $109.5 million, compared to $107.5 million during the same period of 2001. The $2.0 million or 1.9 percent increase was primarily due to growth in service charges on deposit accounts and cardholder and merchant services income, partially offset by lower income from securities transactions. During the first six months of 2002, total service charges on deposits were $37.4 million, compared to $33.3 million earned during the same period of 2001. This increase resulted from higher bad check and over draft fees and commercial service charges. Cardholder and merchant services income increased $2.8 million from $20.7 million earned in the first six months of 2001 to $23.4 million in the first six months of 2002. This 13.3 percent increase in cardholder income was due to higher merchant discount income and higher interchange income from credit and debit card transactions. Commission income contributed an additional $1.5 million during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. This increase represents a 15.1 percent increase over the same period of 2001, primarily due to higher commissions generated by First Citizens Investor Services. Fees from processing services increased $1.1 million to $9.4 million over the $8.3 million during the first half of 2001, an increase of 13.3 percent, the result of higher processing rates that became effective during 2002. Partially offsetting the impact of these increases in noninterest income was a reduction in income generated from securities transactions. During the first six months of 2002, BancShares recognized a net loss of $86,000, compared to a net gain of $7.0 million during the first six months of 2001. The loss during 2002 was the net result other than temporary impairment losses that were recorded on equity securities classified as available for sale and gains recognized on the exchange of investments during the first quarter of 2002. The large gains we recognized during 2001 resulted from the exchange and subsequent sale of available-for-sale securities in companies represented in our equity securities portfolio. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense was $217.7 million for the first six months of 2002, a 4.3 percent increase over the $208.7 million recorded during the same period of 2001. The $9.0 million increase in noninterest expense primarily relates to higher personnel costs. Salary expenses increased $3.6 million during 2002 when compared to the same period of 2001. This 4.1 percent increase reflects the impact of annual salary increases that were effective for most associates on July 1, 2001. Employee benefits expense increased $2.5 million or 14.0 percent during the first six months of 2002, compared to the corresponding period of 2001 due to increased health insurance and pension costs. Occupancy expense increased $358,000 to $18.0 million during the first six months of 2002. This 2.0 percent increase resulted from higher building depreciation. Equipment expense increased $809,000 or 4.0 percent during the first six months of 2002, the result of higher software depreciation and maintenance costs. The $1.7 million or 2.7 percent increase in other expenses resulted from higher credit card processing costs and core deposit amortization. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (Statement 142), which we fully adopted on January 1, 2002, we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. During the first six months of 2001, BancShares recognized goodwill amortization expense of $2.5 million. During the first quarter of 2002, we also reviewed the estimated useful lives of our other intangible assets, including goodwill accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 72 (FAS 72 goodwill). As a result of adjustments to shorten the estimated useful lives of FAS 72 goodwill, during the first six months of 2002, we recorded amortization expense of $6.7 million, compared to $3.2 million during the same period of 2001. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense amounted to $25.4 million during the first six months of 2002, compared to $26.6 million during the same period of 2001, a 4.5 percent decrease. The effective tax rates for these periods were 35.38 percent and 37.19 percent, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate resulted from the adoption of Statement 142 at January 1, 2002, at which time we discontinued the amortization of goodwill. Since this amortization expense was non-deductible for income tax purposes, the expense reduction resulting from the change did not generate additional income tax expense. LIQUIDITY Management relies on the investment portfolio as a source of liquidity, with maturities designed to provide needed cash flows. Further, retail deposits generated throughout the branch network have enabled management to fund asset growth and maintain liquidity. In the event additional liquidity is needed, BancShares maintains readily available sources to borrow funds through its correspondent network. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY BancShares maintains an adequate capital position and exceeds all minimum regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the leverage capital ratio of BancShares was 9.12 percent and 7.95 percent, respectively, surpassing the minimum level of 3 percent. As a percentage of risk-adjusted assets, BancShares' Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.24 percent at June 30, 2002, and 10.64 percent as of June 30, 2001. The minimum ratio allowed is 4 percent of risk-adjusted assets. The total risk-adjusted capital ratio was 14.56 percent at June 30, 2002 and 11.94 percent as of June 30, 2001. The minimum total capital ratio is 8 percent. BancShares and its subsidiary banks exceed the capital standards established by their respective regulatory agencies. SEGMENT REPORTING BancShares conducts its banking operations through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, FCB and ASB. Although FCB and ASB offer similar products and services to customers, each entity operates in distinct geographic markets and each entity has separate management groups. Additionally, the financial results and trends of ASB reflect the de novo nature of its growth. Atlantic States Bank. ASB's total assets increased from $748.0 million at June 30, 2001 to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of $261.4 million or 35.0 percent. This growth resulted from loan growth and an expanding branch network. ASB's net interest income increased $6.4 million or 77.3 percent during the first six months of 2002, when compared to the same period of 2001, the result of balance sheet growth. Provision for loan losses increased $905,000 or 65.7 percent due to higher levels of nonperforming assets, higher historical net charge-offs and loan growth. ASB's noninterest income increased $525,000 or 28.4 percent during the first six months of 2002, primarily the result of higher service charge income. Noninterest expense increased $2.5 million or 16.7 percent during 2002. Higher personnel, occupancy and equipment costs reflect the impact of the expanded branch network. ASB recorded a net loss of $1.7 million during the first six months of 2002 compared to a net loss of $3.9 million during the same period of 2001. This represents a $2.2 million or 57.2 percent reduction in the net loss. Substantially all of ASB's growth has been on a de novo basis, and ASB continues its efforts to build a customer base in its highly competitive markets. We continue to seek new growth opportunities for ASB, including the recently announced expansion into the Austin, Texas and Scottsdale, Arizona markets. Our early investments in these new markets will result in higher levels of noninterest expense in the coming quarters. First Citizens Bank. FCB's total assets increased from $10.37 billion at June 30, 2001 to $10.73 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of $362.4 million or 3.5 percent. This growth resulted from strong deposit growth during 2001, much of which was invested in the securities portfolio due to weak loan demand. FCB's net interest income increased $6.5 million or 3.6 percent during the first six months of 2002, the result of growth in interest-earning assets. Provision for loan losses increased $1.8 million or 18.8 percent due to higher net charge-offs and nonperforming assets. FCB's noninterest income increased $8.6 million or 8.5 percent during the first six months of 2002, primarily the result of higher service charge and cardholder and merchant services income. Noninterest expense increased $9.3 million or 4.8 percent during the first six months of 2002, primarily due to higher personnel costs. FCB recorded net income of $52.6 million during the first six months of 2002 compared to $49.8 million during the same period of 2001. This represents a $2.8 million or 5.7 percent increase in net income. ACCOUNTING MATTERS Except for those provisions that became effective and were adopted by BancShares during 2001, we adopted the provisions of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 (Statement 142) on January 1, 2002. During the second quarter of 2002, we completed our initial goodwill impairment review, and no impairment was identified. Further discussion related to the adoption of Statement 142 is found under the caption Noninterest Expense and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (Statement 144), which supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." Statement 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by a sale. We adopted the provisions of Statement 144 on January 1, 2002. The implementation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of our operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (Statement 146), which becomes effective prospectively for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Under Statement 146, we will record a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value. In periods after initially recording a liability, we will adjust the liability to reflect revisions to the expected timing or amount of estimated cash flows, discounted at the appropriate interest rate originally used to measure the liability. Statement 146 also establishes accounting standards for employee and contract termination costs. The impact from the adoption of Statement 146 is dependent on the nature and extent of exit and disposal activities. Consequently, at this time, we are unable to estimate the ultimate impact from the adoption of Statement 146. Management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital ratios, or results of operations. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This discussion may contain statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualifying words (and their derivatives) such as "expect," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "project," "anticipate," or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of BancShares and its management about future events. Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of BancShares' customers, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates, and general economic conditions.
