FIRST CENTRAL BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 1999 and 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
First Central Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated
in 1993 for the purpose of becoming a one bank holding company.
On April 3, 1993, the Company acquired 100% of First Central
Bank (the Bank) through a share exchange agreement approved by
the shareholders of the Bank. The investment in First Central
Bank represents virtually all of the assets of First Central
Bancshares, Inc.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Central Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary,
First Central Bank. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of the
Company's management, the disclosures made are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading, and the consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1999,
results of operations for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and cash flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
The results of operations for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
In February 1998, the Company distributed a ten percent (10%)
dividend to its stockholders by issuing an additional 46,526
shares of common stock. The Company used a fair market value of
$25.00 per share and credited common stock $5.00 per share or
$232,630, additional paid in capital $20.00 or $930,520, and
charged retained earnings a total of $1,163,150. No stock
dividends have been declared during 1999.
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 the weighted average number of
shares was 513,281 (504,895 in 1998). During the period ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 the Company did not have any
dilutive securities.
NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement amends FASB Statement No. 52,
Foreign Currency Translation, to permit a special accounting
for a
hedge of a foreign currency forecasted transaction with a
derivative. It supersedes FASB Statements No. 80, Accounting
for Future Contracts, No. 105, Disclosure of Information about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial
Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk, and No. 119,
Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair
Value of Financial Instruments. It amends FASB Statement No.
107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to
included in statement No. 107 the disclosure provisions about
concentrations of credit risk from Statement No. 105. In June
1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133. SFAS 137 amends SFAS 133 to defer the
effective data until June 15, 2000. The Statement is required
to be applied retroactively to consolidated financial
statements of prior periods. The Bank is currently assessing
the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial
statements and will adopt the statement during 2000.
In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities after Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise. SFAS No. 134 amends FASB
Statement No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking
Activities, which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for certain activities of mortgage banking
enterprises and other enterprises that conduct operations that
are substantially similar to the primary operations of a
mortgage banking enterprise. The Bank is not currently
entering into any transactions related to securitization of
mortgage loans, nor does the Bank anticipate entering into any
transactions of this nature in the future. Therefore, SFAS No.
134 will not have any effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Bank continued its plans to be ready in all respects for
the new millennium. A Y2K committee including executive
management has been in place for approximately twenty-one
months. The board of directors is updated monthly of progress.
A comprehensive evaluation and testing schedule was finalized
in 1998 as well as a detailed contingency backup plan. All
equipment that was not Y2K compliant was replaced and a new
operating system was installed through our data processing
server in 1998. Testing of all mission critical systems
including the primary and backup operating system was
implemented and completed during the second quarter. Testing
for all mission critical systems and all other systems/software
was completed in the second quarter of 1999. The contingency
plans detail specific steps to be taken in the unlikely event
of a disruption in our systems or other aspects of operations
within our control as well as critical services outside our
control such as power, water, and communications. We are on
schedule to be compliant in all respects to Y2K. Management
remains confident that there will be no interruptions in our
ability to continue to provide efficient service to our
customers and shareholders in the year 2000 and beyond.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS - COMPARISON AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 TO
DECEMBER 31, 1998
Assets totalled $111.5 million as of September 30, 1999, as
compared to $110.8 million as of December 31, 1998, an increase
of 0.63%.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities were $28.6 million or 25.6% of total
assets, as of September 30, 1999 an increase of $1.5 million
from $27.1 million as of December 31, 1998. During the nine
month period there were $9.4 million in calls, maturities, and
principal paydowns offset by the purchase of $12.0 million in
agency securities.
The investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government and
federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities
issued by various federal agencies. Mortgage-backed issues
comprised 16.89% of the portfolio as of September 30, 1999 and
17.39% as of December 31, 1998.
As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Bank's
entire investment portfolio was classified as available for
sale and reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses reported in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), net of
any deferred tax effect. The unrealized loss on securities
available for sale, net of tax was approximately $673,000 as of
September 30, 1999, a change of approximately $718,000 from
December 31, 1998, a result of deterioration in the bond
market. The fair value of securities fluctuates with the
movement of interest rates. Generally, during periods of
decreasing interest rates, the fair values increase whereas the
opposite may hold true during a rising interest rate
environment.
LOANS
During the first nine months of 1999, total gross loans
outstanding increased by approximately $8.3 million to $70.8
million as of September 30, 1999 from $62.5 million as of
December 31, 1998 attributable primarily to $20.9 million in
originated loans offset by amortization and payoffs of
approximately $12.6 million. As of September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, net loans outstanding represented 62% and
55% of total assets, respectively. Table 1 summarizes the
Bank's loan portfolio by major category as of September 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998.

equity, letters of credit and other credit lines in the amount

Loans are carried net of the allowance for loan losses. The
allowance is maintained at a level to absorb possible losses
within the loan portfolio. As of September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the allowance had a balance of approximately
$625,000 and $594,000, respectively. There were no loans on
which the accrual of interest had been discontinued as of
September 30, 1999 or at December 31, 1998, and there were
approximately $45,000 in loans specifically classified as
impaired as defined by SFAS No. 114. Table 2 summarizes the

CAPITAL
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999,
stockholders' equity increased by $32,000 to $8.5 million, due
to net income for the period of $750,000 offset by the decline
in value of securities available for sale of $718,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of liquidity are deposit balances,
available-for-sale securities, principal and interest payments
on loans and investment securities and FHLB advances.
As of September 30, 1999, the Bank held $28.6 million in
available-for-sale securities and during the first nine months
of 1999 the Bank received $9.4 million in proceeds from
maturities, redemptions and principal payments on its
investment portfolio. Deposits increased by $653,000 during
the same nine month period.
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati (FHLB) and is eligible to obtain both short and long
term credit advances. Borrowing capacity is limited to the
Bank's available qualified collateral which consists primarily
of certain 1-4 family residential mortgages and certain
investment securities. The Bank had no advances outstanding
from the FHLB at September 30, 1999.
The Bank can also enter into repurchase agreement transactions
should the need for additional liquidity arise. At September
30, 1999, the Bank had $1,721,000 of repurchase agreements
outstanding.
As of September 30, 1999, the Bank had capital of $8.5 million,
or 7.6% of total assets, as compared to $8.4 million, or 7.6%,
at December 31, 1998. Tennessee chartered banks that are
insured by the FDIC are subject to minimum capital
requirements. Regulatory guidelines define the minimum amount
of qualifying capital an institution must maintain as a
percentage of risk-weighted assets and total assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMB
ER 30, 1999 AND 1998
GENERAL
The Bank reported net income of $750,000, or $1.46 per share
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared
with $722,000 or $1.43 per share for the same period in 1998,
an increase of 3.88%.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income increased by $500,000 to $3.5 million for
the nine month period in 1999 from the comparable period in
1998. Contributing to this increase was an increase in average
interest earning assets. Average interest earning assets, at a
yield of 8.37% totalled $103.3 million as of September 30,
1999. In comparison in 1998, average interest earning assets,
at a yield of 8.68%, totalled $90.0 million.
Interest income increased by $623,000 for the nine month period
in 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This improvement
is primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $13.3
million, or 14.8%, in the volume of average earning assets
during the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 compared
to the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. Interest
income on loans increased by $376,000 over the same two periods
primarily as a result of an increase of approximately $8.3
million in average loans outstanding. Over the same two
periods, interest on investments increased by $493,000 due to
an increase of approximately $10.5 million or 59.0% in the
volume of investments during the nine month period. Interest
income on Federal Funds Sold decreased by $246,000 due to a
decrease in the average yield on Federal Funds Sold outstanding
during the nine month period from 5.29% in 1998 to 4.79% in
1999, and also a decrease in the average balance outstanding of
$5.5 million over the same period in 1998.
Total interest expense increased $123,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998. Interest on deposits increased as a result of an
increase of approximately $11.7 million in average deposits
over the same period in 1998. The average rate on interest-
bearing liabilities decreased to 4.52% for the nine month
period in 1999 from 5.00% in the comparable period of 1998.

OTHER INCOME
Total other income was $555,000 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to $398,000 for the same period
in 1998, an increase of $157,000. Other income is comprised
primarily of customer service fees and other items.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Total operating expenses were $2,762,000, or 2.48% of average
total assets, for the nine month period ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $2,128,000, or 2.07%, for the same period
in 1998. Both the salaries and employee benefits and occupancy
and equipment categories of expenses increased when comparing
the two periods. Salaries and employee benefits increased by
$393,000 or 38% over the first nine months of 1999 due to
normal salary increases and additional branch personnel.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased approximately
$53,000 when compared to expenses at September 30, 1998, an
increase of 12.41%. Contributing to the increase in occupancy
and equipment expenses was the opening of the Alcoa branch
during the fourth quarter of 1998 and the Sweetwater branch
during the first quarter of 1999.
INCOME TAXES
The Bank recognizes income taxes using the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
established for the temporary differences between the
accounting basis and the tax basis of the Bank's assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when
the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized
or settled. The Bank's deferred tax asset is reviewed quarterly
and adjustments to such asset are recognized as deferred income
tax expense or benefit based on management's judgment relating
to the realizability of such asset.
During the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, the
Bank recorded $427,000 in tax expense which resulted in an
approximate effective rate of 36.28%. Comparably, in 1998, the
Bank recorded $439,000 in tax expense, resulting in an
approximate effective rate of 37.8%.
