Net interest income increased 5% for the year and less than 1% for the three months ended December 31, 2000, compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily the result of 16% and 14% annualized internal loan growth for the year and quarter, respectively. The net interest margin remained relatively stable for the fourth quarter 2000 at 3.62% compared to 3.65% for the third quarter 2000. As with other banks, the Companys net interest margin reflects a decline from the 4.00% in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Noninterest income increased 22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 and 18% year-to-date compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily from wealth management services income, electronic banking fees and merchant/cardholder fees. Noninterest expenses increased 5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 and 7% year-to-date as compared to the same periods last year.
Asset quality remains excellent with non-performing assets at .54% of loans and other real estate owned compared to 0.55% at December 31, 1999. Annualized net charge-offs remained low at 0.20% of loans for the quarter. Year to date net charge-offs
4
of 0.21% of loans were equal to the 0.21% experienced for 1999. Colonial continues to focus its efforts on relationship-based lending to known customers in its geographical market areas. Loan provisions for the current quarter were $7,858,000 compared to $9,239,000 in the fourth quarter 1999. These provisions exceeded net charge-offs by $3,304,000 in 2000 and $4,241,000 in 1999. For the full year 2000 provisions exceeded net charge-offs by $11,172,000.
The Companys Alabama markets have experienced 5% annualized loan growth and 5% deposit growth, while the Companys higher growth markets have contributed 25% loan growth and 12% deposit growth during this year. Excluding one-to-four family residential loans, Colonials loan growth has been primarily in the companys Florida, Georgia and Dallas markets at 26%, 32% and 26%, respectively.
I believe Colonial ended 2000 and is poised to begin 2001 with sound asset quality, stable and potentially improving net interest margins and solid if somewhat slower loan growth. These factors should allow Colonial to continue its growth in operating income even if the concern over a slow down of the national economy is realized, said Mr. Lowder.
In July 2000, the Company announced definitive plans to exit the mortgage banking business. As of December 31, 2000 all sales of servicing rights and transfers of underlying loans have been completed. The financial results for this line of business have been separately reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. The following table reflects

income from continuing operations and net income, which includes income or loss from discontinued operations as well as the estimated loss from disposal of this line of business:

8-K Supplemental
Net Interest Margins
Net interest margins were relatively stable at 3.62% for the fourth quarter compared to 3.65% for the third quarter. Annualized loan growth of 14% between the two periods more than offset this decline and resulted in an increase of $551,000 or 1.0% growth in net interest income.
The Federal Reserve reduced the Federal funds rate 50 basis points in early January. The Company expects that this rate reduction and perhaps others to follow will have a modest (less than 10 basis points) favorable long-term impact on the Company's net interest margin.
Loan Growth
Loan growth was strong in the fourth quarter at a 14% annualized internal loan growth rate. This growth has been primarily in the Companys Florida and Georgia markets at an annualized rate of 24%, and 17%, respectively. In addition, the Companys mortgage warehouse lending unit ended 2000 with $376,995,000 in loans outstanding, an increase of $204,386,000 or 118% over the beginning of the year and a 27% increase over the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This unit provides short-term funding to mortgage origination companies for single-family residential mortgages, which are being sold into secondary markets. The volumes for Colonials warehouse lending unit are likely to increase with declining interest rates and are typically seasonal with higher volumes from April through December and lowest volumes in the first quarter of the year.
Shared National Credits
Colonial has fourteen credits with commitments (funded and unfunded) of $193 million that fall within our regulators definition of a Shared National Credit (generally defined as a total loan commitment in excess of $20 million that is shared by three or more lenders). Our largest outstanding amount to any single borrower is under $30 million with the smallest credit being
14
approximately $190,000.
Although by definition these are considered Shared National Credits, Colonial loan officers have established long-term relationships with each of these borrowers. These commitments are comprised of the following:
| 51% - commercial real estate projects located within our existing markets | |
| 16% - international credits which are comprised of unfunded short-term commitments to tier one correspondent banks | |
| 18% - mortgage warehouse lines to two large institutions (our mortgage warehouse department conducts its own audits of these borrowers) | |
| 15% - operating facilities to two large national corporations headquartered in our Florida markets |
Colonial participates heavily in the management of each of the 14 relationships. Management believes that these are sound participations involving credits that fit within Colonial's lending philosophy and meet it's conservative underwriting guidelines. Furthermore, none of these credits were adversely classified in the last federal bank regulatory examination of Shared National Credits and these loans are currently in full compliance with all terms and agreements.
Discontinued Operations
As noted in prior quarters, in July 2000 the Company decided to exit the mortgage servicing business and discontinue the operations of Colonial Mortgage as a separate operating unit. As of December 31, 2000, all loan transfers were completed and the mortgage servicing rights have been removed from the Companys balance sheet. In addition, the escrow and custodial deposits related to those servicing rights have been transferred out of Colonial Bank resulting in a $207 million reduction in average noninterest deposit accounts from third quarter 2000 to fourth quarter 2000. At December 31, 2000 the balance sheet of the Company includes approximately $19 million in receivables and other advances related to the various transfers of servicing. These receivable and advance balances represent the expected recoverable amounts once all documentation supporting the transferred loans is provided to the new servicer.
15
The anticipated costs of providing the necessary documents have been accrued. However, due to the volume of loans transferred and the costs and complexity in providing certain documentation, the amounts recovered or costs incurred may vary from the Companys current estimate.
Future Earnings Outlook
The January 3, 2001 reduction in the federal funds rate of 50 basis points by the Federal Reserve should have a modest benefit over the course of 2001 in the net interest margin. However, the size and timing of the reduction and the current expectation of further rate cuts may indicate greater softening of the national economy than previously perceived. Therefore, the benefit of lower rates may be somewhat offset by a potential increase in credit issues resulting from the softening economy.
The Company continues to expect the pace of loan growth to slow somewhat in 2001 to a 10% to 12% growth rate in several of the Companys banking markets. The Companys growth rate however may be higher due to previously discussed anticipated growth in mortgage warehouse lending.
As of December 31, credit quality remained good however, the national economic slowdown provides some concern over the potential for increased credit losses. Currently the economic conditions in the Companys growth markets remains strong with only slight softness occurring.
The net impact of anticipated lower rates, slower loan demand and maintenance of strong loan loss reserves currently result in earnings per share expectations to remain in the $1.10 to $1.18 range for 2001.
