4 CENTRAL COAST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 (Unaudited) 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of Management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Central Coast Bancorp's (the "Company's") consolidated financial position at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Untied States of America have been omitted. These interim consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 may not necessarily be indicative of the operating results for the full year. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the carrying value of other real estate owned. Management uses information provided by an independent loan review service in connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management has determined that since all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Community Bank of Central California, its bank subsidiary (the "Bank"), all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business there are outstanding various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of approximately $135,537,000 and standby letters of credit of $4,475,000 at September 30, 2000. However, all such commitments will not necessarily culminate in actual extensions of credit by the Company during 2000. Outstanding loan commitments of approximately $24,988,000 at September 30, 2000 were for real estate construction loans and are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each potential borrower and the necessary collateral are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets. Stand-by letters of credit are commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are issued primarily relating to purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. 5 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period (6,887,000 and 6,974,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, and 7,103,000 and 7,069,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999). Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options and stock purchase warrants were exercised. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of options and warrants (197,000 and 195,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 194,000 and 254,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999). 4.

5. STOCK DIVIDEND On January 31, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a ten percent stock dividend, which was distributed on February 28, 2000, to shareholders of record as of February 14, 2000. All share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock dividend. 6 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In addition to the historical information contained herein, this report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. The reader of this report should understand that all such forward-looking statements are subject to various uncertainties and risks that could affect their outcome. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets, loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on securities investments, rates paid on deposits, competition effects, fee and other noninterest income earned, general economic conditions, nationally, regionally and in the operating market areas of the Company and the Bank, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in business conditions and inflation, changes in securities markets, as well as other factors. This entire report should be read to put such forward-looking statements in context. To gain a more complete understanding of the uncertainties and risks involved in the Company's business this report should be read in conjunction with Central Coast Bancorp's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest income, net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE) within the Management's Discussion and Analysis. Business Organization --------------------- Central Coast Bancorp (the "Company") is a California corporation organized in 1994, and is the parent company for Community Bank of Central California, a state-chartered bank, headquartered in Salinas, California (the "Bank"). Other than its investment in the Bank, the Company currently conducts no other significant business activities, although it is authorized to engage in a variety of activities which are deemed closely related to the business of banking upon prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB"), the Company's principal federal regulator. The Bank offers a full range of commercial banking services, including a diverse range of traditional banking products and services to individuals, merchants, small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and agribusiness enterprises located in the counties of Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz, which are in the central coastal area of California. Overview -------- Central Coast Bancorp recorded net income of $2,253,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, which was a 12.5% increase over the $2,003,000 reported for the same period of 1999. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2000 was $0.32 versus $0.27 reported in the year earlier period. The return on equity (ROE) and the return on assets (ROA) for the third quarter of 2000 were 15.8% and 1.36% as compared to 15.4% and 1.38% for the same period in 1999. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $6,571,000 and $5,722,000 with diluted earnings per share of $.92 and $.78, respectively. For the first nine months of 2000, ROE was 15.9% and ROA was 1.40% as compared to 14.7% and 1.38% for the same period in 1999. The earnings per share for the 1999 periods have been adjusted for the 10% stock dividend distributed in February 2000. Year over year balance sheet growth reflects a $55,399,000 (9.4%) increase in total assets, a $57,312,000 (15.0%) increase in loans and a $59,993,000 (11.6%) increase in deposits at September 30, 2000 from the ending balances at September 30, 1999. Assets totaled $642,928,000 at September 30, 2000. This was down $5,889,000 from the June 30, 2000 ending balance as the Bank returned $18,000,000 of the $20,000,000 of State of California certificates of deposit placed in the Bank in February 2000. Central Coast Bancorp ended the third quarters of 2000 and 1999 with Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.8% and total risk-based capital ratios of 13.0%. 7 On October 16, 2000, the Bank continued to expand its service area by opening its 10th full service branch in the city of Hollister in San Benito County. The economic environment in San Benito County is similar to the agricultural communities the Bank serves in Monterey County. As previously reported, in the second quarter of 2000, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan for 5% of the then outstanding shares. Under this plan, the Company may repurchase up to approximately 348,000 shares. As of October 16, 2000, the Company had repurchased 167,605 shares at an average price of $16.07 with a total value of $2,694,000. The following table provides a summary of the major elements of income and expense for the periods indicated.

Net interest income / net interest margin ----------------------------------------- Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings, is the principal component of the Bank's earnings. Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Third quarter 2000 net interest income of $8,876,000 was a 19.5% increase of $1,450,000 over the same period in 1999. The interest income component was up $2,826,000 (25.8%). Average loan balances were $60,684,000 (16.6%) higher in the third quarter of 2000 versus the year earlier period. This volume difference added $1,407,000 to interest income. The average loan yield for the third quarter of 2000 was 93 basis points higher than the average yield in the year earlier quarter. The higher yield increased interest income by $966,000. There have been six rate increases implemented by the Bank in the past twelve months as a result of the rate tightening by the Federal Reserve Board. The last rate increase was on May 16, 2000. The average balance of investment securities in the third quarter of 2000 was slightly lower by $1,227,000 (0.8%) from the third quarter of 1999. Since yields on securities were somewhat higher, the investments contributed an additional $85,000 in interest income. Average balances for Federal funds sold for these two periods increased $22,492,000 to $24,459,000. Interest income for Federal funds sold increased $368,000 on a period over period basis. Interest expense was up $1,376,000 (39.0%) on a quarter over quarter basis. The average balances on interest bearing liabilities were $54,493,000 (14.0%) higher in the third quarter of 2000 versus the same quarter in 1999. The higher balances accounted for $750,000 of the increase in interest expense. Rates paid on interest bearing 8 liabilities for the third quarter 2000 averaged 4.39%. This was an increase of 80 basis points from the like quarter last year and accounted for $626,000 of the interest expense increase. It was also a 17 basis point increase from the average rate paid in the second quarter of 2000. As the longer term certificates of deposit mature, it is expected that there will be some continuing upward pressure on interest expense. This may result in a decline in the net interest margin the Bank is able to generate in future quarters. Net interest margin for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999 were 5.82% and 5.62%, respectively. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000, net interest income increased $4,101,000 (19.7%) over the first nine months of 1999. The interest income component increased $7,534,000 to $38,352,000. Average balances of earning assets were $77,182,000 (15.4%) higher in the first nine months of 2000 than the same period in 1999. The average balance of loans was $71,110,000 higher, which accounted for $4,922,000 of the increase in interest income. The average yield received on loans in the first nine months of 2000 was 64 basis points higher than the 9.22% received in the year earlier period. The higher yield on loans added $1,987,000 to interest income. The average balance of investment securities in the first nine months of 2000 was lower by $7,655,000 (4.8%) over the year earlier period. Average balances for Federal funds sold for these two periods increased $13,727,000 to $16,556,000. Interest income for the investing activities increased $625,000 on a period over period basis. As mentioned in the quarterly analysis above, the Federal Reserve Board increased interest rates six times for a total of 150 basis points since June 30, 1999. As a result, the average yield of 8.87% received on all earning assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 64 basis points higher than the yield received in the first nine months of 1999. Interest expense for the nine-month period increased $3,433,000 (34.4%) from the expense in the same 1999 period. Volume increases in deposits and borrowings added $2,112,000 of interest expense. Overall average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the first nine months of 2000 increased 63 basis points to 4.22% from the same period in 1999. The interest expense increase attributable to the higher rates was $1,321,000. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 2000 was 5.77% versus 5.57% in the year earlier period. The first two following tables provide a summary of the components of net interest income and the changes within the components for the periods indicated. The second two tables set forth a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense from changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates. 9

12 Provision for Loan Losses ------------------------- The provision for loan losses was $1,530,000 for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to $418,000 in the third quarter of 1999 and $800,000 in the second quarter of 2000. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Bank provided $2,856,000 versus $955,000 in the year earlier period. Loan balances increased $13,765,000 in the third quarter of 2000 and are up $57,312,000 on year over year basis. Industry experience indicates that higher provisions may be required in circumstances when there has been significant loan growth and/or there are credit concentrations in loan categories, industries or geographical area. The loan portfolio of the Bank is reflective of all of these factors and the provision for loan losses has been adjusted accordingly. In particular, the agricultural sector in the Bank's service area has been under pricing pressures for the last few years. Continuing weaknesses in these markets could have a negative impact on the local economy and consequently on the economic viability of some of the Bank's borrowers. Besides providing an allowance for loan losses for the preceding factors during the year, an additional loan loss provision of approximately $1.4 million was needed for some specific loan classifications made in the third quarter. At September 30, 2000 non-performing assets were $591,000 as compared to $2,219,000 at the same date in 1999. The ratios of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets on those two dates were 1419% and 238%, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.91% and 1.38% at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Noninterest Income ------------------ Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and fees for miscellaneous services. Noninterest income totaled $672,000 in the third quarter of 2000, which was up $143,000 (27.0%) over the same period in 1999. Income from service charges on deposit accounts was $156,000 higher mostly due to higher volumes and new business account fees. The higher interest rates in 2000 have resulted in significantly lower fees generated from mortgage originations. These fees were down $28,000 (53.3%) in the third quarter of 2000 versus the same period last year. For the first nine-months of 2000, noninterest income was $1,849,000 versus $1,662,000 in the same period last year. Service charges on deposits were up $295,000 (30.2%) due to higher volumes and new business account fees. As discussed in the previous paragraph, due to the higher interest rates the activity in residential mortgage lending slowed significantly in 2000. Consequently, the fees generated from mortgage originations decreased $101,000 (49.3%) in the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Noninterest Expense ------------------- Noninterest expenses increased $186,000 (4.5%) to a total of $4,297,000 in the third quarter of 2000 versus the third quarter of 1999. Salary and employee benefits increased $267,000 (11.6%) because of additional staff due to growth, higher benefit costs, and normal salary increases. On a quarter over quarter basis, premises and fixed asset expenses were higher by $169,000 (27.3%). Ongoing costs associated with two branch relocations and remodel of office space in the second half of 1999 plus the addition of the Watsonville branch in June of 2000 were the major factors contributing to the increased premises and fixed asset expenses. Other expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were down $249,000 (20.8%) from the prior year quarter. In the third quarter of 1999 the Bank incurred approximately $190,000 in one time costs associated with merging Bank of Salinas and Cypress Bank together. The efficiency ratios (fully taxable equivalent) for the 2000 and 1999 third quarters were 45.0% and 51.7%, respectively. Noninterest expenses for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 were $12,754,000 versus $11,758,000 for the same period in 1999. Salaries and benefits increased $533,000 (7.8%) due to increased staffing levels, higher benefit costs and normal salary progressions. Premises and fixed asset expenses were up $485,000 (27.2%) due to the items as detailed in the previous paragraph. Other expenses were down $22,000 (0.7%). In the first nine months of 1999, approximately $284,000 of one-time costs were incurred for the merger discussed in the above paragraph. By eliminating the effect of the one-time expenses the other expenses were up $262,000 (9.3%) in 2000. These higher expenses are attributable to higher volumes due to growth, opening the Watsonville office and price increases. The efficiency ratio (fully taxable equivalent) for the first nine-months of 2000 was 47.6% as compared to 52.2% in the same period of 1999. 13 Provision for Income Taxes -------------------------- The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine-months of 2000 were 36.0% and 38.0%, respectively, versus 38.0% in the same two periods of 1999. Securities ---------- At September 30, 2000, available-for-sale securities had a market value of $140,220,000 with an amortized cost basis of $145,868,000. The pretax unrealized loss of $5,648,000 at September 30, 2000 was a decrease of $2,051,000 from the unrealized loss at June 30, 2000. The lower unrealized loss resulted from a decrease in the interest rates in the securities markets in the third quarter. For other than short-term commercial paper, the Bank's purchase of investment securities during the third quarter of 2000 was minimal. Loans ----- Ending loan balances at September 30, 2000 were $439,838,000, which was an increase of $44,241,000 (11.1%) from year-end 1999 balances and $57,312,000 (15.0%) from September 30, 1999 balances. All categories of loans were higher on a year over year basis. Loan demand has remained brisk and the current pipeline would indicate that the demand is continuing into the fourth quarter. Nonperforming Assets -------------------- Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans delinquent 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal, loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, and other real estate which has been acquired through foreclosure and is awaiting disposition. Unless well secured and in the process of collection, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to interest or principal, when the payment of interest or principal in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan becomes uncertain or when a portion of the principal balance has been charged off. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method thereafter, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and remaining principal is considered collectible or when the loan is both well secured and in process of collection. Real estate and other assets acquired in satisfaction of indebtedness are recorded at the lower of estimated fair market value net of anticipated selling costs or the recorded loan amount, and any difference between this and the amount is treated as a loan loss. The costs of maintaining other real estate owned and gains or losses on the subsequent sale are reflected in current earnings. 14 The following is a summary of nonperforming assets:
(In thousands, except percentages) September 30, December 31, 2000 1999 ------------------ ------------------ Past due 90 days or more and still accruing : Real estate $ - $ 303 Commercial 70 51 Consumer and other - - ------------------ ------------------ 70 354 ------------------ ------------------ Nonaccrual: Real estate 10 1,565 Commercial 411 11 Consumer and other - - ------------------ ------------------ 421 1,576 ------------------ ------------------ Total nonperforming loans 491 1,930 ------------------ ------------------ Other real estate owned 100 180 ------------------ ------------------ Total nonperforming assets $ 591 $ 2,110 ================== ================== Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans 1709% 290% Nonperforming loans to total loans 0.11% 0.49%
Nonperforming loans decreased $1,439,000 during the first nine months of 2000 with $207,000 of that in the third quarter. This decrease coupled with the year-to-date increase of the provision for the allowance for loan losses resulted in improvement in the coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans from 290% at year-end to 1,709%. At September 30, 2000, the recorded investment in loans that are considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $1,930,000 of which $387,000 is included in nonaccrual loans above. At December 31, 1999, the recorded investment in loans that were considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $2,165,000 of which $1,586,000 is included in nonaccrual loans above. Such impaired loans had valuation allowances totaling $617,000 and $821,000 at the two dates, respectively. The amount of impaired loans includes all restructured loans. Management is not aware of any potential problem loans, which were accruing and current at September 30, 2000, where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms. Allowance for Loan Losses ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses reflects management's judgement as to the level considered adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by loan charge-offs net of recoveries. Management determines an appropriate provision based upon information currently available to analyze loan loss potential, including (1) the loan portfolio balance in the period; (2) a comprehensive grading and review of new and existing loans outstanding; (3) actual previous charge-offs; and, (4) changes in economic conditions. In determining the provision for estimated losses related to specific major loans, management evaluates its allowance on an individual loan basis, including an analysis of the creditworthiness, cash flows and financial status of the borrower, and the condition and the estimated value of the collateral. Specific valuation allowances for secured loans are determined by the excess of recorded investment in the loan over the fair market value or net realizable value where appropriate, of the collateral. In determining overall general valuation allowances to be maintained and the loan loss allowance ratio, management evaluates many factors including prevailing and forecasted economic conditions, regular reviews of the quality of loans, industry experience, historical loss experience, composition and geographic concentrations of the loan portfolio, the borrowers' ability to repay and repayment performance and estimated collateral values. 15 Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 is adequate, based on information currently available. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in future years can be made with any certainty. The following table summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

Liquidity --------- Liquidity management refers to the Company's ability to provide funds on an ongoing basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the Company's liquidity position. Federal funds lines, short-term investments and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The Bank assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and individual client funding needs. Commitments to fund loans and outstanding standby letters of credit at September 30, 2000 were approximately $135,537,000 and $4,475,000, respectively. Such loan commitments relate primarily to revolving lines of credit and other commercial loans, and to real estate construction loans. The Company's sources of liquidity consist of its deposits with other banks, overnight funds sold to correspondent banks, unpledged short-term, marketable investments and loans available for sale. On September 30, 2000, consolidated liquid assets totaled $101.5 million or 15.8% of total assets as compared to $91.1 million or 15.4% of total consolidated assets on December 31, 1999. In addition to liquid assets, the Bank maintains lines of credit with correspondent banks for up to $80,000,000 available on a short-term basis. Informal agreements are also in place with various other banks to purchase participations in loans, if necessary. The Company serves primarily a business and professional customer base and, as such, its deposit base is susceptible to economic fluctuations. Accordingly, management strives to maintain a balanced position of liquid assets to volatile and cyclical deposits. Capital Resources ----------------- The Company's total shareholders' equity was $56,940,000 at September 30, 2000 compared to $53,305,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulations issued by the Board of Governors and the FDIC which require maintenance of a certain level of capital. A banking organization's total qualifying capital includes two components, core capital (Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital). Core capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities and minority interests, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan losses (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities, certain other capital instruments and term subordinated debt. The Company's major capital components are shareholders' equity in core capital, and the allowance for loan losses in supplementary capital. 16 The following table shows the Company's actual capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 as well as the minimum capital ratios for capital adequacy under the regulatory framework:
For Capital Actual Adequacy Purposes: (In thousands, except percentages) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- As of September 30, 2000 ------------------------ Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): $ 65,706 13.0% $ 40,370 8.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): 59,396 11.8% 20,185 4.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): 59,396 9.1% 26,202 4.0% As of December 31, 1999: ------------------------ Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): $ 62,489 13.8% $ 36,125 8.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets): 56,938 12.6% 18,062 4.0% Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets): 56,938 9.7% 23,593 4.0%
Year 2000 --------- During 1998 and 1999, management of the Company focused the appropriate resources to address the potential problems that could arise regarding the Year 2000 (Y2K) century date change. The Company's mission critical systems were evaluated, modified as required and contingency plans were put into place should the systems have experienced any failures. The Y2K readiness of vendors and customers was also evaluated and monitored. The century date change passed without any operational difficulties for the Company, its vendors or its customers. There are certain dates within the year 2000 that have been identified as critical processing dates. The first was January 31, the end of the first month of the year. The second was February 29, leap year day. The third was March 31, the end of the first quarter. The fourth was October 10, the first date to require an 8-digit field (10/10/2000) (This date has passed as of the date of this report.) The Company did not experience any processing problems on those dates. The one remaining date is December 31, the end of the year. The December 31 date was tested as part of the Y2K project. The Company does not anticipate having any processing problems at year end, however failure by third parties to adequately remediate Y2K issues could have an impact upon the Company, which is impossible to quantify. Nevertheless, the Company currently expects that its Y2K compliance efforts will be successful without material adverse effects on its business. Item 3. MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Overview. The goal for managing the assets and liabilities of the Bank is to maximize shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet without exposing the Bank to undue interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the Company's interest rate risk management policies. The Bank has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) which establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Asset/Liability Management. Activities involved in asset/liability management include but are not limited to lending, accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities and issuing debt. Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are correlated and contribute to earnings even in periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin and market value of equity under changing interest environments. The Bank uses simulation models to forecast earnings, net interest margin and market value of equity. 17 Simulation of earnings is the primary tool used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes. Using computer modeling techniques, the Company is able to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on earnings. A balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan, securities and interest bearing liabilities (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base. The forecast balance sheet is processed against three interest rate scenarios. The scenarios include a 200 basis point rising rate forecast, a flat rate forecast and a 200 basis point falling rate forecast which take place within a one year time frame. The net interest income is measured during the first year of the rate changes and in the year following the rate changes. Based on a forecast using August 31, 2000 balances and measuring against a flat rate environment, in a one-year horizon an increase in interest rates of 200 basis points would result in an increase of $2,374,000 in net interest income. Conversely, a 200 basis point decrease would result in a decrease of $3,010,000 in net interest income. The simulations of earnings do not incorporate any management actions, which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. Therefore, they do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of interest rate risk. Accounting Pronouncements ------------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an exposure draft of a proposed statement, "Business Combinations and Intangibles," in September 1999 which included the elimination of "pooling of interest" accounting. The result of this accounting change would be that all mergers consummated after a designated date would be accounted for as "purchase" transactions, resulting in the recognition of goodwill in any merger where the purchase price exceeds the asset value of the acquired company. The Board is in the process of researching and discussing the accounting for goodwill and its impact on the future reported income of merged companies. Additionally, in bank mergers, the goodwill in a purchase accounting transaction would not be included in the calculation of regulatory capital requirements. The Board will redeliberate the related issue of whether to retain the pooling method, but not until it has reached a set of tentative decisions with respect to the accounting for goodwill that will best meet the concerns of investors, creditors, and other users of financial statements-as well as companies that prepare those reports. The Board expects to issue a final statement near the end of the first quarter of 2001. 18 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal proceedings. None. Item 2. Changes in securities. None. Item 3.
