Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are in thousands, except per share data.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UNB Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries United National Bank & Trust Co., United Banc Financial Services, Inc. and United Insurance Agency Inc. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of UNB Corp. at September 30, 2000, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Annual Report for UNB Corp. for the year ended December 31, 1999, contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

For consolidated financial statement classification and cash flow reporting purposes, cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand and non-interest bearing deposits with banks. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and September 30, 1999, UNB Corp. paid interest in the amount of $31,355 and $22,833, respectively. For the same nine month period federal income taxes paid totaled $5,260 and $5,605, respectively.

The Corporation classifies securities as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. Securities classified as held to maturity are those that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as available for sale are those that management intends to sell or that could be sold for liquidity, investment management, or similar reasons, even if there is not a present intention for such a sale. Trading securities are purchased principally for sale in the near term and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Corporation held no trading securities during the periods reported.

Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Gains or losses on dispositions are based on net proceeds and the amortized cost of securities sold, using the specific identification method.

Management analyzes loans on an individual basis and classifies a loan as impaired when an analysis of the borrower’s operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total and are excluded from reported impaired loans. Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences, residential construction loans and consumer automobile, boat, RV, home equity and credit card loans with balances less than $300. In addition, loans held for sale and leases are excluded from consideration as impaired.

Impaired loans are fully or partially charged off when in management’s opinion an event or events have occurred which provide reasonable certainty that a loss is probable. When management determines that a loss is probable, a full or partial

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

charge off is recorded for the amount the book value of the impaired loan exceeds the present value of the cash flows or the fair value of the collateral, for collateral dependent loans.

Loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. Any reduction in carrying value through impairment or any change in impairment based on cash payments received or revised cash flow estimates as determined on a quarterly basis would be applied against the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses and become a specific allocation of the allowance or as an addition to the provision for loan losses if the unallocated portion of the allowance was insufficient to cover the impairment.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share are based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share show the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under stock options assuming the exercise of stock options less the treasury shares assumed to be purchased from the proceeds using the average market price of UNB Corp.’s stock for the periods presented.

Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Note 5 — Concentrations of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Corporation offers commercial, residential mortgage and consumer credit products to customers within Stark and its contiguous counties with the exception of the Aircraft Finance Group which serves a national market. The Corporation maintains a diversified loan portfolio, with commercial loans and leases, commercial real estate loans, aircraft loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans comprising 13.2%, 13.6%, 15.5%, 29.8% and 27.9%, respectively, at September 30, 2000. Within the consumer loan portfolio, indirect loans accounted for 58.6% of all consumer loans and 16.3% of total loans at September 30, 2000. The dealer network from which indirect loans were purchased includes 107 relationships thus far in 2000, the largest of which was responsible for 6.2% of the total indirect dollar volume for the nine months of 2000.

Within the commercial real estate portfolio, real estate is mainly held as collateral while the cash flows of the business are considered the primary source of repayment on the loans. With all loan types, management attempts to balance credit risk versus return by employing conservative credit standards and comprehensive underwriting guidelines in addition to the loan review function which monitors credits during and after the approval process.

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These instruments are required in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments are not included in the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2000, the contract or notional amounts of these instruments, which primarily include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, and interest rate swaps totaled $273,813.

At September 30, 2000, the Corporation held two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $300 and $13,392. The notional amount of an interest rate swap does not represent an amount exchanged by the parties and is not a measure of the Corporation’s exposure through its use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the interest rate swap. The following table summarizes the terms of each of the swaps in effect:

         
Swap #1 Swap #2


Notional amount
  $300   $13,392
Final expiration
  November 20, 2000   June 18, 2003
Variable rate in effect, September 30, 2000
  6.68%   6.66%
Fixed rate
  2.88%   5.86%
Market value, September 30, 2000
  $3   $191

Variable interest payments received are based on the three month LIBOR rate which is adjusted on a quarterly basis. The net income from these agreements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 was $79. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, net expense of $61 was recorded. Under the terms of these contracts, future changes in LIBOR will affect the payments received, the income or expense generated by each swap and their market value.

Note 6 — Long Term Debt

Long term debt consists of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, two line of credit borrowing arrangements and a capital lease. The majority of long-term debt at September 30, 2000 is comprised of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati. Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by all FHLB stock and qualifying first mortgage loans.

At September 30, 2000, FHLB advances outstanding are comprised of the following:

                   
Maturity Interest Rate Amount

2000
    6.00%-7.32%     $ 1,329  
2001
    6.10%-7.32%       4,524  
2002
    5.95%-7.32%       31,159  
2003
    6.25%-7.32%       1,235  
2004
    6.28%-7.32%       660  
2005
    7.32%       47  

 
Total
          $ 38,954  

Based on the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock, the maximum dollar amount of FHLB advance borrowings available to the Bank is $163,620.

The Corporation has maximum borrowing arrangements of $18 million with a national financial institution consisting of two lines of credit. The total

outstanding balance at September 30, 2000 was $13 million. United Banc Financial Services, Inc. (UBFS) arranged a $8 million line of credit to partially pay off its line of credit with United National Bank and Trust Co. and fund future loan growth. The interest on each draw is variable and is priced off one of several indexes plus a spread, at the option of UBFS. The loan agreement calls for quarterly interest payments and is secured by a first security agreement on UBFS receivables, the unconditional guarantee of UNB Corp., and an intercreditor agreement with United National Bank and Trust Co. The outstanding balance on this facility consists of the following draws:

             
Interest Rate Amount


  7.97 %   $ 3,500  
  7.94       1,000  
  7.83       500  
  7.93       1,000  

The Parent Company arranged an unsecured $10 million line of credit for liquidity purposes and to facilitate additional investment in subsidiaries. At September 30, 2000, the outstanding balance was $7 million with an interest rate of 7.4%. The interest on each draw is variable, is paid at least quarterly and is priced off one of several indexes plus a spread, at the option of UNB Corp.

In 1997, the Bank entered into a capital lease to finance the acquisition of computer hardware and related software with an original amount of $252. The lease terms call for sixty monthly payments of approximately $5 with the last payment due in March, 2002. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2000 was $80.

Note 7 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (FAS 133) is effective for all fiscal years beginning July 1, 2000 or later. All derivative instruments will be recorded at their fair values. If the derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item will be included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges will be recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in income currently.

UNB Corp. holds derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps hedging fixed rate mortgage loans (see Note 5). Management expects these interest rate swaps to be recorded at fair value on the financial statements of the Corporation at the adoption of FAS 133.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

INTRODUCTION

The following areas of discussion pertain to the consolidated financial statements of UNB Corp. at September 30, 2000, compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ending September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods in 1999. It is the intent of this discussion to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules, and should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements and schedules.

UNB Corp. is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that might have a material effect on the soundness of operations; neither is UNB Corp. aware of any proposed recommendations by regulatory authorities which would have a similar effect if implemented.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $1,027,239, an increase of $56,710, or 5.8%, from year-end 1999. Total earning assets at September 30, 2000 of $982,901 increased from year-end 1999 by $73,165, or 8.0%. The ratio of earning assets to total assets also increased from 93.7% at December 31, 1999 to 95.7% at September 30, 2000. Highly liquid balances, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits with banks, decreased by $15,003, or 30.7%, from year-end 1999. The reduction in highly liquid balances and the increase in earning assets are mainly the result of the cash balances that were held at 1999 year-end for Year 2000 liquidity contingencies being converted back into interest bearing assets.

SECURITIES

Balances in the investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios declined from 1999 year-end balances by $14,640, or 11.0%. The reduction was mainly due to the maturity of U.S. Government and Agency securities invested with fairly short-term maturities, which were available for sale as potential liquidity sources at year-end for Year 2000 considerations. Net reductions in these securities were used to partially fund the growth in outstanding loans. Cash flows from mortgage-backed securities were reinvested in like securities eligible as collateral to pledge against borrowings with a corresponding increase in yield as market rates increased. Proceeds from the sale of equity securities in the Corporation’s Holding Company during the first half of 2000 were used in the Corporation’s stock buy back program and for other Corporate liquidity needs.

LOANS

For the nine months of 2000, total loans grew by $83,668, or 10.8%. The aircraft lending area experienced growth of $17,979, or 15.6%, from 1999 year-end levels. This growth was the result of renewed calling and sales efforts in the central U.S. market as well as reductions in payoffs due to the rising rate environment. Growth slowed in the second and third quarter of the year due to rising interest rates dampening demand as well as competitive pricing pressures and an inventory shortage of good collateral in the loan size of the Bank’s target market.

The commercial lending area experienced growth of $14,716, or 14.9%, from year-end 1999 levels, with the increase the result of seasonal line of credit usage and the addition of new borrower relationships. Commercial real estate balances increased by $16,688, or 16.7%, from year-end balances due largely to advances

under previously approved construction commitments, which converted to permanent financing and the purchase of commercial real estate participations.

Residential real estate balances increased by $20,205, or 8.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was the result of increased seasonal activity in the residential construction market and the impact of rising market rates slowing the volume of payoffs and refinancings in the existing portfolio.

Consumer loans increased by $14,080, or 6.3%, from year-end 1999, with the majority of the increase, $12,028, in the home equity product which is being promoted with lower introductory rates tiered to the amount borrowed. Direct and indirect installment lending remained flat from year-end 1999 due to the Bank exiting the indirect boat and recreational vehicle markets to focus on indirect automobile loans. Loan activity has been concentrated in high-end used automobiles, as new automobile financing has been dominated by leasing and manufacturers’ financing alternatives.

LIABILITIES

Total liabilities increased by $54,158 or 6.0%, from year-end 1999 levels. Deposits, the main component of liabilities, increased by $62,765, or 8.2%, from December 31, 1999. The following table shows deposit composition and change in deposit mix between the periods ended September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999:

                   
September 30, 2000 December 31, 1999


Non-interest bearing checking
  $ 100,800     $ 90,790  
Interest bearing checking
    76,928       77,555  
Savings
    264,881       217,304  
Certificates of deposit and other time
    384,390       378,585  
     
     
 
Total deposits
  $ 826,999     $ 764,234  
     
     
 

The category with the most significant change is savings deposits, which includes the Money Market Access product in which balances grew by $53 million, or 41.0%, from December 31, 1999. Certificates of deposit generated through the branch network increased by $21,239, more than offsetting the maturity of $15,067 in brokered certificates. Short-term borrowings, which is mainly comprised of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, declined by $5,563 from December 31, 1999 due to a reduction of federal funds purchased which were used to fund Y2K cash balances. This reduction was partially offset by an increase in repurchase agreements. Long-term debt decreased by $2,298 or 4.2%, primarily due to the maturing of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The decrease in advances was partially offset by increased bank line of credit borrowings which were used to fund loan growth in United Banc Financial Services, Inc. and to fund additional treasury stock purchases by UNB Corp.’s parent company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2000 was $73,226, an increase of $2,552, or 3.6%, from year-end 1999. The growth in shareholders’ equity was influenced by year-to-date net income of $11,043. This increase was partially offset by reductions in shareholders’ equity as the result of $3,796 in cash dividends paid and an increase in treasury stock of $4,034. Shareholders’ equity also decreased by $661 mainly due to the reduction in unrealized gains, net of deferred tax, on available for sale securities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

UNB Corp.’s capital ratios at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 along with the ratios required for the Corporation to be adequately and well capitalized under regulatory guidelines are as follows:

                         
Minimum regula-
tory requirements
September 30, December 31, for adequately/
2000 1999 well capitalized



Total capital to risk weighted assets
    9.91%       10.38%       8.0%/10.0%  
Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets
    8.58%       8.94%       4.0%/ 6.0%  
Tier 1 capital to average assets
    6.92%       7.02%       4.0%/ 5.0%  

All ratios as of September 30, 2000 exceeded the required ratios for an adequately capitalized financial institution. At December 31, 1999 all ratios exceeded the requirements for a well capitalized financial institution. The ratio of equity-to-assets at September 30, 2000 was 7.13% versus 7.28% at December 31, 1999.

For the nine months of 1999 and 2000, the cash dividends were $0.36 per share. Cash dividends paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 represent 34.4% of year-to-date net income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UNB Corp.’s third quarter 2000 net income was $3,607 or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with $3,397, or $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 1999. This represents an increase in earnings of 6.2% and an increase in diluted earnings per share of 9.7%. Year-to-date net income of $11,043 was $203, or 1.8%, below the same period in 1999. Despite higher earnings in 1999 as a result of a larger net gain from the sale of securities, earnings per diluted share for 2000 were $1.04, or 2.0% greater than the same period in 1999 due to the decrease in the number of shares outstanding as a result of UNB Corp.’s stock repurchase program. In the nine months of 2000 and 1999 pre-tax gains of $1,008 and $4,127, respectively, were recognized on the sale of equity securities from UNB Corp.’s Holding Company portfolio. Operating earnings for the two periods, excluding the after-tax effect of these transactions and related expenses taken in anticipation of the gains, were $10,387 and $9,599 for the nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase of $788, or 8.2%.

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the third quarter of 2000 were 1.41% and 19.82%, respectively, compared with 1.49% and 19.40%, respectively, for the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, return on average assets and return on average equity for 2000 were 1.48% and 20.68%, respectively, compared to 1.70% and 21.39%, respectively, for the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, adjusted for the impact of the net securities gains, return on average assets was 1.39% for 2000 versus 1.45% for 1999. Return on average equity was 19.45% for 2000 compared to 18.26% for 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the Corporation’s most significant source of earnings and is the difference between interest income and related loan fees earned on interest earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities. For this discussion, net interest income is presented on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. Interest on tax exempt securities and loans is

15


Table of Contents

U N B   C O R P.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

restated on a fully taxable basis using the tax rate of 35% adjusted for non-deductible interest expense incurred in the acquisition of tax-free assets.

For the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2000, net interest income increased by $359 and $1,160, or 3.9% and 4.3%, respectively, over the same periods in 1999. Total interest income increased by 20.3% and 19.8% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, while interest expense increased by 39.3% and 38.6%, respectively, for the same periods. The growth in net interest income was primarily the result of growth in average earning assets of 12.5% and 13.2%, respectively from the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2000 compared with the same periods in 1999.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

The net interest margin is net interest income (FTE) divided by average earning assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the net interest margin was 3.96%, versus 4.30% for the same period in 1999, a reduction of 34 basis points. Yields on earning assets increased by 46 basis points, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities increased by 85 basis points. Asset yields were significantly impacted by rising market rates, including the increase in prime rate of 175 basis points between the second quarter of 1999 and the end of the third quarter of 2000. Asset yields were also impacted by changes in loan mix from consumer installment and residential mortgages to the relatively higher yielding aircraft and commercial loans. The cost of interest bearing liabilities was impacted by the increasing cost of the Money Market Access account which is tied to the three month Treasury rate, by the impact of increasing market rates on the cost of short-term liabilities and the use of more costly bank borrowings to purchase treasury stock, thus replacing interest free equity with interest bearing debt in the funding of earning assets.

OTHER INCOME

Other income for the third quarter of 2000 was $2,805, an increase of 9.0% from the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, other income was $9,621, a decrease of $2,829, or 22.7% over the same period in 1999. Excluding security gains on marketable equity securities of $1,008 and $4,127 taken in the nine months of 2000 and 1999 respectively, other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased from the same period in 1999 by $290.

On a year-to-date basis, the Trust Department recorded earnings of $4,162, an increase of $546, or 15.1%, from the same period in 1999. This was accomplished through an increase in assets managed from September 30, 1999 to September 30, 2000 of 16.4%. Gains on loans sold in the secondary market declined to $160, or by $325, from the same nine month period in 1999 due to rising interest rates limiting the volume of fixed rate mortgage loans available for sale. Service charges on deposits and other operating income remained fairly constant between the two periods. Within other operating income, merchant service fees increased by 27.5% while loan brokerage income on non-conforming consumer and mortgage and aircraft loans declined by 34.4%. The decline in brokerage income is mainly due to loans secured by residential real estate being retained in United Banc Financial Services, Inc. loan portfolio and due to a sharp decline in the average dollar amount of each loan sold.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the third quarter were $6,689, an increase of $687, or 11.4%, from the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, other expenses remained constant between the two periods. Salary, wages and benefits declined by $386, or 3.8%, from the same nine month period in 1999. Increases due to annual merit increases for 2000 along with several additions to staff were more than offset by reductions in pension, incentive compensation accruals needed for the ROE incentive model and reduced employer contributions to the 401K plan.

Occupancy expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by 3.4% from the same period in 1999 due to an increase in rent expense from the opening of two new branches.

Equipment expenses increased by 3.9% for the nine months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. These increases were the result of increased maintenance costs on the Corporation’s mainframe and personal computer networks, expenses related to several branch transformations into more customer friendly sales environments and increased costs of outside computer software services.

Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were $2,101, an increase of $719, or 52.0%, from the same period in 1999. In the third quarter of 1999, reduction in accruals related to Year 2000 compliance, marketing, donations and consulting were made upon the reevaluation and elimination of anticipated projects. Excluding these items, other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were above the same period in 1999 by $215 due to an increase in franchise taxes and loan related expenses. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by $240, or 3.8%, from the same period in 1999 due to increases in franchise taxes and loan related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in other miscellaneous expenses due to one time expenditures in the areas of Year 2000 compliance, sales training for retail personnel and other efficiency and productivity enhancements that were taken in 1999.

The Bank continued in its efforts to resolve the legal proceedings and dispose of the environmentally contaminated seven and one half acre parcel of real estate acquired through foreclosure. The property is located in the northwest quadrant of Stark County. Unsuccessful attempts have been made to contact the State of Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tanks (BUSTER) as well as the large national petroleum company, which owned the facility at the time it was taken out of service and is responsible for the contamination cleanup, to obtain an engineering status report on the condition and remediation of the contaminated ground. Negotiations are currently under way for the sale of the property. The proposed sale price is subject to a 90 day review and one 90 day renewal, which would put the tentative closing date in January, 2001. The first 90 day option expired October 15, 2000 and the 90 day renewal has been exercised. Estimated cleanup costs, should they become the responsibility of United Bank, are not material to the business or financial condition of the Bank and have been set up as an allowance against the property’s value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2000 was $128, a decrease of $433, or 77.2%, from the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, the provision for loan losses was $498, a decrease of $1,351, or 73.1%, from the same period in 1999. At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding was 1.47% compared to 1.70% at December 31, 1999.

Management continues to review the amount of provision for loan losses charged to earnings on a regular basis, based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio’s credit quality, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses under current economic conditions and current and anticipated loan growth. Due to improved underwriting, early detection systems and increased collection efforts, the December 31, 1999 ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding reached its lowest levels in the last ten years at 0.06%.

Net charge-offs for the period ending September 30, 2000 were 0.13% as compared to 0.04% for the same period in 1999. This increase was the result of increased seasonal charge-offs of indirect boat and recreational vehicle loans and charge-offs of commercial loans. A detailed analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and September 30, 1999, is as follows:

The allowance for loan losses is allocated among the major loan categories based on historical loss factors as well as the level and trends in delinquencies, chargeoffs and recoveries. The following table sets forth the Corporation’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999:

ASSET QUALITY

At September 30, 2000, impaired loans were $4,517, an increase of $3,566 from December 31, 1999. The amount of allowance allocated to impaired loans increased from $665 at December 31, 1999 to $989 at September 30, 2000 due to a number of loans being reclassified during the second quarter of 2000 as a result of an early

detection program instituted in the loan review system. Nonperforming assets, which include non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other real estate owned were $1,931 at September 30, 2000 compared to $2,337 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of $406, or 17.4%. The following table presents the amounts of nonperforming assets and pertinent ratios as of the dates indicated:

                         
September 30, December 31, September 30,
2000 1999 1999



Non-accrual loans

    0.22 %     0.30 %     0.30 %

The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans outstanding at September 30, 2000 of 0.18% is an eight basis point improvement from year-end 1999. Also, this ratio compares favorably to the ratio for the Corporation’s peers, all bank holding companies with consolidated assets between $1 billion and $3 billion, which stands at 0.62% at June 30, 2000, the most current data available.

LIQUIDITY

Management ensures the liquidity position of the Corporation is adequate to meet the credit needs and cash demands of its borrowers and depositors as well as maintain reserve requirements. This is accomplished through the Corporation’s ability to readily convert assets to cash and raise funds in the market place in a timely and cost effective manner. Total cash, federal funds sold, investments and mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $146,348 represent 14.2% of total assets at September 30, 2000. Of the investments available for sale, $22,584 are held in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, 64.4% of which mature within one year. Approximately $105,090 of total Corporate securities are pledged as collateral to secure public fund deposits, sweep or term repurchase agreements or other obligations. The Corporation’s ability to raise funds in the market place is provided by the Bank’s branch network, in addition to the availability of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance borrowings, brokered deposits, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.

The liquidity needs of the Parent Company, primarily cash dividends, treasury stock purchases and vendor and tax payments, are met through cash, investments in the Parent Company, dividends from the Bank and borrowings from a third party financial institution.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

MARKET RISK

The Corporation’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is defined as the potential loss of income or capital as a result of changes in interest rates. The differences in the cash flows and repricing characteristics that occur in various assets and liabilities that are available in the banking industry means that some level of interest rate risk will always be present, but the Corporation has the responsibility to manage that risk to minimize the negative impact on both earnings and capital. Evaluating the Corporation’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the management process used to control interest rate risk and the calculated level of risk. The Corporation maintains the appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls as required by the Joint Agency Policy Statement on Risk. The Asset and Liability Management Committee meets regularly to monitor the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate risk and to assess strategies to manage that risk.

The Corporation uses a number of methods to calculate and measure interest rate risk. The asset/liability gap compares the dollar amounts of assets and liabilities that will mature or reprice in a given time period to determine the level and direction of interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation is considered asset sensitive if more assets than liabilities mature or reprice in the specified time frame and liability sensitive if more liabilities than assets mature or reprice in that same period. Asset sensitivity, or a positive gap, indicates that the Corporation’s exposure is to falling rates, since more assets than liabilities could reprice or require reinvestment at lower interest rates. Liability sensitivity, or a negative gap, means that the Corporation’s exposure is to rising rates since more liabilities than assets could reprice at higher rates.

The Corporation makes a number of assumptions when calculating its gap position. The most significant assumption is the assignment of deposit balances without a stated maturity date to specific time frames. Since these deposits are subject to withdrawal on demand, and have rates that can be changed at any time, they could be considered immediately repriceable and assigned to the shortest maturity, resulting in a significant level of liability sensitivity. However, actual practice indicates that balances are withdrawn and replaced over a much longer time frame, and rates are modified less frequently and in smaller increments than changes which occur in financial market rates. To compensate for these extremes, the Corporation uses multiple deposit distribution assumptions to provide a range of interest rate risk measurements that it uses as a guide for managing various assets and liabilities. As of September 30, the Corporation’s modified twelve month cumulative gap was at –3.02% compared to –3.98% in the previous period, indicating a moderately liability sensitive position.

One of the shortcomings of the gap analysis is that the use of a static balance sheet results in a measure of interest rate risk at one specific point in time. Simulation analysis provides a more dynamic interpretation of the impact of rates on the Corporation’s forecasted income and net present value of assets, liabilities and capital. The Corporation makes certain assumptions regarding the level of interest rates, prepayments on assets with imbedded options including

21

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (continued)

loans and asset backed securities, and the behavior of deposits without contractual maturity dates. These assumptions, in addition to actual rates and maturity and repricing dates on loans, investments and deposits, are incorporated into a computer model which calculates forecasted net income and discounts the projected cash flows of rate sensitive assets and liabilities to determine the present value of the Corporation’s capital. The model then applies a predetermined immediate parallel increase or decrease in the level of interest rates to forecast the impact on both net interest income and capital one year forward. While this methodology provides a more comprehensive appraisal of interest rate risk, it is not necessarily indicative of actual or expected financial performance. Changes in interest rates that affect the entire yield curve equally at a single point in time are not typical. The residential mortgage prepayment assumptions are based on industry medians and could differ from the Corporation’s actual results due to non-financial prepayment incentives and other local factors. The behavior of depositors is based on an analysis of historical changes in balances and might not fully reflect current attitudes toward other investment alternatives. Moreover, the model does not include any interim changes in strategy the Corporation might instate in response to shifts in interest rates.

At September 30, 2000, the Corporation’s interest rate shock analysis forecasted a 6.22% increase in the market value of equity in response to a decrease of 200 basis points in market rates and a 4.77% decrease in the market value of equity based on a corresponding increase in market rates. The model results indicate that the Corporation would benefit from a decrease in rates, subject to the limitations and assumptions previously discussed.

Interest rate risk can be managed by using a variety of techniques, including selling existing assets or repaying liabilities, pricing loans and deposits to attract preferred maturities and developing alternative sources of funding or structuring new products to hedge existing exposures. In addition to these balance sheet strategies, the Corporation can also use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, and floors to minimize the potential impact of adverse changes in interest rates.

The Corporation has two pay-fixed amortizing interest rate swaps executed as hedges against fixed rate mortgages held in the portfolio, one initiated in 1993 and the other in 1998. The net cash flows and market values of the swaps move inversely with those of the fixed rate loans in the portfolio, which reduces the Corporation’s exposure to changing interest rates. If rates rise, the Corporation receives net cash flows from the swaps which compensates for the opportunity loss of holding an asset with a below market yield. Alternatively, the increase in the market value of the swaps would balance the loss on the mortgage loans if the loans were sold. If rates fall, the net cash flows given up are offset by the increased value of assets with an above market yield. The gain that would be realized on the sale of the loans would counteract the loss on the termination of the interest rate swaps. At the end of September, the swaps had a combined net gain of $194 on outstanding notional principal of $13,692.
