Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Legends Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Legends Financial”) or (“the Company”), Legends Bank (“Legends Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Legends Financial Services, Inc. On February 27, 2002, the stockholders of Legends Bank voted to exchange their stock for stock in Legends Financial. Effective July 1, 2002, Legends Financial became a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. For quarters after June 30, 2002, Legends Bank will be included in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Legends Financial, which is subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction has been treated as a reorganization for accounting purposes. For comparative purposes, all financial information of Legends Bank prior to the reorganization has been presented or included in all financial information of Legends Financial.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior period financial information has been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and disclosures necessary to summarize fairly the financial position of the Legends Financial as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, comprehensive earnings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the December 31, 2002 financial statements presented in Legends Financial’s December 31, 2002 Annual Report to Stockholders. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the complete fiscal year.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Continued
The provision for loan losses was $135,000 and $257,000 for the first six months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The provision for loan losses is based on past loan experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors includes growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific loan problems, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management has in place a system designed to identify and monitor problems on a timely basis.
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A formal review is prepared quarterly by the Loan Review Committee to assess the risk in the portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The review includes analysis of historical performance, the level of non-performing and adversely rated loans, specific analysis of certain problem loans, loan activity since the previous assessment, reports prepared by the Loan Review Committee, consideration of current economic conditions, and other pertinent information. The level of the allowance to net loans outstanding will vary depending on the overall results of this quarterly assessment. The review is presented to and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.
Acquisition
Effective March 24, 2003, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of NBC Bank in the Clarksville, Tennessee area. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase summarized as follows:

Stock Option Arrangement
In December, 1998, the Board of Directors of Legends Bank approved the Legends Bank 1998 Stock Option Arrangement (the “1998 Arrangement”). The Arrangement provides for the granting of stock options, and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options, for up to 74,400 shares of common stock to officers of Legends Bank and up to 33,600 shares of common stock to the Directors of Legends Bank. At June 30, 2003, 108,000 shares have been granted at $8.33 per share (720 shares have been forfeited and reallocated to plan participants and 23,100 shares have been exercised). At March 31, 2003, 84,900 shares have been granted and not exercised. Of these shares 63,780 are exercisable as of June 30, 2003.

Stock Option Arrangement, Continued
Under the Stock Option Arrangement, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options, and are generally exercisable for up to five years following the date such option award are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.
In April of 2001 the Board of Directors of Legends Bank approved the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”). The 2001 Plan provides for the granting of 215,998 shares of stock available for options. Under the 2001 Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options and are exercisable over three to six years. At June 30, 2003, 177,380 shares of the options had been granted at $18.75 per share (3,480 shares have been forfeited and no shares have been exercised). At June 30, 2003, 177,380 shares had been granted and not exercised of which 117,659 were exercisable.
Legends Financial’s stockholders approved Legends Bank 1998 Stock Option Arrangement and 2001 Stock Option Plan. Legends Financial agreed with Legends Bank that it would exchange its options to the holders of stock options under the 1998 Arrangement and the 2001 Plan on an option-for-option basis. Thus options that were outstanding under the 1998 Arrangement and the 2001 Plan have been exchanged for options under Legends Financial’s Stock Option Plan.
On September 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of Legends Financial approved a stock-split effected in the form of a one-for-five stock dividend. The stock dividend also applied to all option arrangements and as such the number of options, exercise prices and related earnings per share disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock-split effected in the form of a dividend.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” sets forth the methods for recognition of cost of arrangements similar to those of Legends Financial. As is permitted, management has elected to continue accounting for the arrangement under APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its arrangement. However, under SFAS No. 123, Legends Financial is required to make proforma disclosures as if cost had been recognized in accordance with the pronouncement. Had compensation cost for Legends Financial’s stock option arrangement been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the arrangement consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, Legends Financial’s net earnings and basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share would have been reduced to the proforma amounts indicated below.

Stock Option Arrangement, Continued
The Company uses the fair value method to calculate the compensation reported in the proforma earnings. The fair value of options granted in 2002 was $1.41 for each option. The 2002 respective weighted average assumptions used to calculate the minimum value were as follows: risk free rate at 4.70%; expected life of five years; volatility of .01%; and dividend yield of 2.88%. The dividend yield was computed assuming an 18% return on equity with a 30% dividend to earnings payout ratio.
Earnings Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 138 “Earnings Per Share” establishes uniform standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with the presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the Bank the computation of diluted earnings per share begins with the basic earnings per share plus the effect of common shares contingently issuable from stock options and warrants.
The following is a summary of components comprising basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The purpose of this discussion is to provide insight into the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements. Reference should also be made to the Company’s December 31, 2002 financial statements included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Form 10-K, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 22, 2003 for a more complete discussion of factors that impact liquidity, capital and the results of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Management’s discussion of the Company and management’s analysis of the Company’s operations and prospects, and other matters, may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other provisions of federal and state securities laws. Although management believes that the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. The use of such words as expect, anticipate, forecast, and comparable terms should be understood by the reader to indicate that the statement is “forward-looking” and thus subject to change in a manner that can be unpredictable. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results anticipated, but not guaranteed, in this Report, include (without limitation) economic and social conditions, competition for loans, mortgages, and other financial services and products, changes in interest rates, unforeseen changes in liquidity, results of operations, and financial conditions affecting the Company’s customers, as well as other risks that cannot be accurately quantified or completely identified. Many factors affecting the Company’s financial condition and profitability, including changes in economic conditions, the volatility of interest rates, political events and competition from other providers of financial services simply cannot be predicted. Because these factors are unpredictable and beyond the Company’s control, earnings may fluctuate from period to period. The purpose of this type of information (such as in Item 2, as well as other portions of this Report) is to provide Form 10-QSB readers with information relevant to understanding and assessing the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, and not to predict the future or to guarantee results. Management is unable to predict the types of circumstances, conditions, and factors that can cause anticipated results to change.

The Company had net earnings of $209,000 and $385,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $109,000 and $210,000 in earnings for the same period in 2002. The increase in earnings is the result of continued growth in the assets of the Company. On a per share basis, the net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, resulted in basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.15 and basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.28 and $0.27, respectively. For the same period in 2002, the net earnings resulted in basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.08 and $0.15, respectively.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $3,338,000 and $2,911,000, respectively. Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $867,000 and $1,078,000, respectively. This resulted in an increase in net interest income of $638,000 or 34.8% during the first six months of 2003 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $1,730,000 and $1,523,000, respectively. Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 was $439,000 and $511,000. The foregoing resulted in an increase in net interest income of $279,000 or 27.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to continued growth of the Bank and a decrease in higher yielding time deposits during 2002. Interest rates are expected to remain relatively stable or increase slightly in 2003. Management believes that a satisfactory level of loans and deposits can be originated or repriced during the remainder of 2003 to provide for greater net interest margin. Management also believes they are adequately positioned to maintain profitability if interest rates fluctuate.
Provision for Possible Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for possible loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for estimated losses on outstanding loans and to provide for uncertainties in the economy. The provision for loan losses during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2003 was $49,000 and $135,000, respectively, as compared to $210,000 and $257,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2002. The provision for loan losses raised the allowance for possible loan losses to $1,034,000 at June 30, 2003, an increase of 17.6% from $879,000 at December 31, 2002. The level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involve evaluation of uncertainties and matters of judgment. Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses at June 30, 2003 to be adequate. The allowance for loan losses was 1.24% and 1.13% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Non-Interest Income
The Company’s non-interest income consists of service charges on deposit accounts, other fees and commissions and security gains. Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, increased $133,000 or 38.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $49,000 or 27.1% as compared to the same period in 2002. The increases were due primarily to increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other fees and commissions and the addition of lock box services. Management projects that other fees and commissions and service charges on deposit accounts will continue to increase during the remainder of 2003 due to growth of the Company.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee costs, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, data processing expense, advertising expense and other operating expenses. Non-interest expense increased $436,000 or 25.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $234,000 or 26.8% as compared to the same period in 2002. The increases in non-interest expense are attributable primarily to increases in salaries and benefits, an increase in occupancy expenses due to continued growth of the Company, and opening of a new branch in 2003. Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased to $553,000 from $399,000 for the first six months of 2002. These expenses include taxes, supplies, communications and general operating costs which increased as a result of continued growth of the Company.
Financial Condition
Balance Sheet Summary. The Company’s total assets increased 14.0% to $130,569,000 at June 30, 2003 from $114,534,000 at December 31, 2002. Loans, net of allowance for possible loan losses, totaled $82,042,000 at June 30, 2003, a 6.7% increase compared to $76,901,000 at December 31, 2002. Investment securities increased $10,753,000 or 43.7% to $35,346,000 at June 30, 2003. The increase in securities included a net unrealized gain of $111,000 during the six month period ending June 30, 2003. Federal funds sold decreased to $53,000 at June 30, 2003. The Federal funds sold were used primarily to provide funding for loan growth and security purchases.
Total liabilities increased by 15.7% to $116,476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $100,687,000 at December 31, 2002. This increase was composed primarily of a $13,867,000 increase in total deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures”. These pronouncements apply to impaired loans except for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment including credit card, residential mortgage, and consumer installment loans.
A loan is impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company shall recognize an impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses.

Financial Condition, Continued
The Company’s first mortgage single family residential and consumer loans which total approximately $17,528,000 and $4,209,000, respectively at June 30, 2003, are divided into various groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and thus are not subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118. Substantially all other loans of the Company are evaluated for impairment under the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.
The Company considers all loans subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 that are on nonaccrual status to be impaired. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt as to timely collection of principal or interest exists, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Delays or shortfalls in loan payments are evaluated with various other factors to determine if a loan is impaired. Generally, delinquencies under 90 days are considered insignificant unless certain other factors are present which indicate impairment is probable. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, liquidation value, and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
Generally, at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued on the loan in the current fiscal year is reversed from income, and all interest accrued and uncollected from the prior year is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Thereafter, interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as interest income only to the extent that cash is received and future collection of principal is not in doubt. If the collectibility of outstanding principal is doubtful, such interest received is applied as a reduction of principal. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accruing status when principal and interest are no longer past due and unpaid and future collection of principal and interest on a timely basis is not in doubt. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had $319,000 and $268,000, respectively, of loans on nonaccrual status.
Other loans may be classified as impaired when the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, is viewed as inadequate. In those cases, such loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status.
Generally the Company also classifies as impaired any loans the terms of which have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Interest is accrued on such loans that continue to meet the modified terms of their loan agreements. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no loans that have had the terms modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans is similar to its charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged-off in the month when they are considered uncollectible.
As of June 30, 2003, the Company had impaired loans totaling $1,864,000. A specific allocation of $384,000 has been established by management related to these loans. The total amount of interest recognized during the period on impaired loans approximated $10,000 and the average recorded investment for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $199,000. At December 31, 2002, impaired loans totaled $2,013,000 and had specific allowance for possible loan losses of $244,000 allocated. The impaired loans are generally commercial loans and have been classified as substandard and special mention by management’s internal grading system. The total collateral of these loans approximates $2,161,000.
The following schedule details selected information as to non-performing loans of the Bank at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002:

Liquidity and Asset Management
The Company’s management seeks to maximize net interest income by managing the Company’s assets and liabilities within appropriate constraints on capital, liquidity and interest rate risk. Liquidity is the ability to maintain sufficient cash levels necessary to fund operations, meet the requirements of depositors and borrowers and fund attractive investment opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term more liquid earning assets and higher interest expense involved in extending liability maturities.
The Company maintains a formal asset and liability management process to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk and to assist management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. The Company accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding and pricing strategies designed to maximize net interest income under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.

Liquidity and Asset Management, Continued
Analysis of rate sensitivity and rate gap analysis are the primary tools used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Included in the analysis are cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing and deposit volume and mix. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, net interest income cannot be precisely estimated nor can the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income be precisely predicted. Actual results will differ due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and managements strategies, among other factors.
The Company’s primary source of liquidity is expected to be a stable core deposit base. In addition, short-term investments, loan payments and investment security maturities provide a secondary source.
The Company’s securities portfolio consists of earning assets that provide interest income. Securities classified as available-for-sale include securities intended to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and/or securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rate, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase capital and similar economic factors. Securities totaling $2,315 million mature or will be subject to rate adjustments within the next twelve months.
A secondary source of liquidity is the Company’s loan portfolio. At June 30, 2003, loans of approximately $36.6 million either will become due or will be subject to rate adjustments within twelve months from the respective date.
As for liabilities, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater of approximately $16.5 million will become due during the next twelve months. Management anticipates that there will be no significant reductions from withdrawable accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand accounts, demand deposit and regular savings accounts in the future.
At the present time, there are no known trends or any known commitments, demands, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity changing in any material way.
Capital Position and Dividends
At June 30, 2003, total stockholders’ equity was $14,093,000 or 10.8% of total assets, which compares with $13,847,000 or 12.1% of total assets at December 31, 2002. The dollar increase in stockholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2003 results from the Bank’s income of $385,000, a net $68,000 unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities which was offset by a dividend paid of $207,000.

Capital Position and Dividends, Continued
The Bank’s principal regulators have established minimum risk-based capital requirements and leverage capital requirements for the Bank. These guidelines classify capital into two categories of Tier I and Total risk-based capital. Total risk-based capital consists of Tier I (or core) capital (essentially common equity less intangible assets) and Tier II capital (essentially qualifying long-term debt, of which the Bank has none, and a part of the allowance for possible loan losses). In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned risk-weights of 0% to 100%, depending on regulatory assigned levels of credit risk associated with such assets. The risk-based capital guidelines require the Bank to have a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% and a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0%. At June 30, 2003, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.61% and its Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 14.52%. At December 31, 2002, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.6% and its Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 15.6%. The required Tier I leverage capital ratio (Tier I capital to average assets for the most recent quarter) for the Bank is 4%. At June 30, 2003, the Bank had a leverage ratio of 10.66% compared to 12.1% at December 31, 2002. The ratios are high when compared to industry averages and result from the fact that the Bank is a newly chartered institution. The emphasis will be on asset quality and growth in core deposits both of which should be aided by the large stockholder base.
There is no established trading market for the Company’s stock. From time to time the Company may acquire shares of its stock to provide some liquidity in the shares. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company did not issue or redeem any shares of its voting common stock. No shares of the Company’s voting common stock were redeemed for the year ending December 31, 2002. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued no shares in connection with its stock option plan. Privately negotiated trades may not be reliable indicators of value.
On March 25, 2003, the Board of Directors recommended a dividend be declared at the Annual Shareholders meeting on April 15, 2003. The recommendation was to set the dividend rate for 2003 at 35% of 2002 earnings. On May 15, 2003, the dividends were paid in the amount of $207,000 or $.15 per share of voting common stock.
The Company opened a branch in Clarksville, Tennessee in the first quarter of 2003 and will open an additional branch in Dover, Tennessee in the fourth quarter of 2003 at an estimated cost of $1,000,000. Investments in facilities can be detrimental to the Company’s earnings.
Impact of Inflation
Although interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, the inflation rate is immaterial when reviewing the Bank’s results of operations.
