As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002, and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 have been prepared by Greater Bay Bancorp (“Greater Bay” on a parent-only basis, and “we”, “our” or “the Company” on a consolidated basis) and are not audited. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2002 is unaudited; however, in our opinion, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2002.
Organization and Nature of Operations
Greater Bay is a financial holding company with 11 bank subsidiaries (the “Banks”): Bank of Petaluma, Bank of Santa Clara, Bay Area Bank, Bay Bank of Commerce, Coast Commercial Bank, Cupertino National Bank, Golden Gate Bank, Mid-Peninsula Bank, Mt. Diablo National Bank, Peninsula Bank of Commerce, and San Jose National Bank. Greater Bay also owns ABD Insurance and Financial Services, Inc. (“ABD”), a commercial insurance brokerage firm.
We also conduct business through the following divisions: CAPCO, Greater Bay Bank Contra Costa Region, Greater Bay Bank Fremont Region, Greater Bay Bank Carmel, Greater Bay Bank Marin, Greater Bay Bank Santa Clara Valley Group, Greater Bay Bank SBA Lending Group, Greater Bay Corporate Finance Group, Greater Bay International Banking Division, Greater Bay Trust Company, Matsco, Pacific Business Funding and the Venture Banking Group.
We provide a wide range of commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, real estate developers, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. We operate community banking offices throughout the San Francisco Bay Area including Silicon Valley, San Francisco and the San Francisco Peninsula, the East Bay, Santa Cruz, Marin, Monterey, and Sonoma Counties, with 45 offices located in Aptos, Blackhawk, Capitola, Carmel, Cupertino, Danville, Fremont, Hayward, Lafayette, Los Gatos, Millbrae, Milpitas, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Pleasanton, Point Reyes Station, Redwood City, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, San Mateo, San Rafael, San Ramon, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Saratoga, Scotts Valley, Sunnyvale, Valley Ford, Walnut Creek and Watsonville. Certain of our divisions’ operations extend beyond the San Francisco Bay Area. ABD provides commercial insurance brokerage, employee benefits consulting and risk management solutions to business clients throughout the United States. CAPCO’s office is located in Bellevue, Washington and operates in the Pacific Northwest. Matsco markets its dental and veterinarian financing services nationally.
We have completed three mergers or acquisitions since December 31, 2000. The merger with SJNB Financial Corp. which resulted in the acquisition of San Jose National Bank was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, all of our financial information for the periods prior to the merger has been restated as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The acquisitions of CAPCO Financial Company, Inc. (“CAPCO”) and ABD were accounted for using the purchase accounting method and accordingly CAPCO and ABD’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Greater Bay and its subsidiaries and its operating divisions. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and the prevailing practices within the banking industry.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Insurance Agency Commissions and Fees
Commission income is recorded as of the effective date of insurance coverage or the billing date, whichever is later. Contingent commissions and commissions on premiums billed and collected directly by insurance companies are recorded as revenue when received, which is our first notification of amounts earned. Fee income is recognized ratably as services are rendered. The income effects of subsequent premium and fee adjustments are recorded when the adjustments become known.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill generated from purchase business combinations consummated prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS No. 142”) was amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired as a result of a business combination and the recognition of and measurement of those assets subsequent to acquisition. Under the new standard, goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but instead they will be tested at least annually for impairment. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we did not identify any existing intangible assets to be separated from goodwill.
SFAS No. 142 also requires an analysis of impairment of goodwill annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events. During the second quarter of 2002, we completed the required initial impairment tests of goodwill. We have no indefinite-lived intangible assets. Based upon this initial evaluation, our goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2002.

Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires us to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. The changes to the balances of accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows:

Segment Information
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS No. 131”), we use the “management approach” for reporting business segment information. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

This amount included an initial payment on consummation of the merger of $72.5 million in convertible preferred stock and $59.1 million in cash, and the present value of an earnout payment of approximately $63.6 million in convertible preferred stock (or common stock in certain instances) and cash contingent upon ABD meeting specified performance goals during 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. ABD’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
We have allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was $95.6 million, which was recorded as goodwill. Asset acquired included other intangibles of $50.4 million, representing the fair value of ABD’s book of business at the acquisition date. Prospectively, goodwill will be evaluated for possible impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Based upon our initial evaluation, as of June 30, 2002, no impairment exists. The other intangible assets will be amortized using a method that approximates the anticipated utilization of the expirations which will cover a period of ten years.
On October 23, 2001, SJNB Financial Corp., the holding company of San Jose National Bank, merged with and into Greater Bay. Upon consummation of the merger, the outstanding shares of SJNB Financial Corp. were converted into an aggregate of approximately 6,944,000 shares of Greater Bay’s common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The financial information presented herein has been restated to reflect the merger with SJNB Financial Corp. on a pooling-of-interests basis.
On March 30, 2001, we completed an acquisition of CAPCO for a purchase price of $8.5 million in cash and 44,820 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, CAPCO’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the merger. The source of funds for the acquisition was a $6.9 million advance on an existing credit line and our available cash.
We have allocated the purchase price for the CAPCO merger to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, totaling $5.7 million, was recorded as goodwill, and through December 31, 2001 amortized using the straight-line method over twenty years. Prospectively, goodwill will be evaluated for possible impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Based upon our initial evaluation, as of June 30, 2002, no impairment exists.
NOTE 3—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
We adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be amortized. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was amortized using the straight-line method over twenty years. Had goodwill not been amortized for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, six months ended June 30, 2001, or the year ended December 31, 2001, net income would have increased by $220,000, $395,000, and $844,000, or $0.00, $0.01, and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively. There was no amortization of goodwill prior to 2001.

As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
We recorded additional goodwill of $95.6 million and expirations of $50.4 million in connection with the ABD acquisition. Expirations represent the estimated fair value of ABD’s existing customer list (or “book of business”) that ABD has developed over a period of years as of the date of acquisition by Greater Bay. The expirations are estimated to have a life of 10 years. Amortization for intangibles for 2002 and each of the next four years is estimated to range between $5.0 million and $6.5 million per year. Additional goodwill of $1.5 million was recognized in connection with prior acquisitions upon satisfaction of certain contingencies.
Other intangible assets at June 30, 2002 were as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | Gross carrying amount | Accumulated amortization | |||||
Expirations | $ | 50,375 | $ | (2,176 | ) |
SFAS No. 142 also requires an analysis of impairment of goodwill annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events. During the second quarter of 2002, we completed the required initial impairment tests of goodwill. We have no indefinite-lived intangible assets. Based upon this initial evaluation, our goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2002.
Pro forma financial information for the CAPCO and ABD acquisitions have not been provided as these acquisitions do not meet the requirements for such reporting prescribed under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, the average balance of securities sold under short term agreements to repurchase was $368.2 million and $210.4 million, respectively, and the average interest rates during those periods were 2.22% and 3.51%, respectively. Securities sold under short term agreements to repurchase generally mature within 90 days from date of purchase.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001, the average balance of federal funds purchased was $336.0 million and $128.4 million, respectively, and the average interest rates during those periods were 2.21% and 4.43%, respectively. There was no such balance outstanding at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
The FHLB advances are collateralized by loans and securities pledged to the FHLB. The following is a breakdown of rates and maturities:
(Dollars in thousands) | Short Term | Long Term | ||||||
Amount | $ | 1,291,704 | $ | 332,494 | ||||
Maturity | 2003 | 2004-2011 | ||||||
Average Rates | 2.84 | % | 3.99 | % |
As of June 30, 2002, we had a short-term, unsecured credit facility in the amount of $50.0 million. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, we had advances outstanding of $10 million and $0 under these facilities. The average rate paid on these advances was approximately LIBOR + 0.50%. In addition, we were in compliance with all related financial covenants for these credit facilities.
NOTE 5—ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDITORILY REDEEMABLE CUMULATIVE TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUST HOLDING SOLELY JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
On April 10, 2002, we completed a $5.0 million trust preferred securities private offering. We issued the trust preferred securities through a newly created trust subsidiary, GBB Capital VII, to a qualified institutional buyer. The trust preferred securities bear an interest rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 3.70% payable semi-annually. GBB Capital VII used the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities to purchase Greater Bay’s junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. Greater Bay invested a portion of the net proceeds in several of our subsidiary banks to increase their capital levels and intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purpose. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, all of the trust preferred securities qualify as Tier II Capital. As of June 30, 2002, we have a total of $223.0 million trust preferred securities. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, $202.7 million of the trust preferred securities qualify as Tier I Capital and $20.3 million of the trust preferred securities qualify as Tier II Capital.

NOTE 6—ZERO COUPON SENIOR CONVERTIBLE CONTINGENT DEBT SECURITIES (“CODES”)
On April 24, 2002, we received approximately $195 million in net proceeds through a private placement of Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Contingent Debt Securities (the “CODES”). The CODES have a yield to maturity of 2.25%. The offered notes have a maturity of 20 years, are callable after five years and are putable by the holder at the end of years 2, 5, 10 and 15. The CODES are convertible into common stock of Greater Bay contingent on certain circumstances. We will use the net proceeds from the sale of the CODES for general corporate purposes, which include advances to or investments in our subsidiaries, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, repayment of trust preferred securities and repayment of existing indebtedness. Pending the final utilization of the proceeds, we have invested the funds in investment securities that are expected to yield 3% to 4% in excess of the cost of the debt securities. On July 22, 2002, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the CODES and the underlying common stock. The registration statement has not yet become effective.
NOTE 7—FORMATION OF MPB INVESTMENT TRUST
During the first quarter of 2002, we formed and funded MPB Investment Trust (“MPBIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mid-Peninsula Bank (“MPB”). MPBIT provides MPB with flexibility in raising capital. MPB contributed loans with a net book value of $318.2 million, and $500,000 in cash to MPBIT, in exchange for 100% of the common and preferred stock of MPBIT. As of June 30, 2002, the net income, assets and equity of MPBIT are eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 8—PER SHARE DATA
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders and assumed conversions by the weighted average number of common shares plus common equivalent shares outstanding including dilutive stock options and convertible preferred stock. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

NOTE 9—ACTIVITY OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The accounting policies of the segments are described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment data includes intersegment revenue, as well as charges allocating the appropriate corporate-headquarters costs to each of our operating segments. Intersegment revenue is recorded at prevailing market terms and rates and is not significant to the results of the segments. This revenue is eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate the performances of our segments and allocate resources to them based on net interest income, non-interest income, net income before income taxes, total assets and deposits.
We are organized primarily along community banking, insurance agency services and trust business segments. We have aggregated thirteen operating divisions into the “community banking” segment. Community banking provides a range of commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, real estate developers, property managers, business executives, professional and other individuals. The trust division is shown as the “trust operations” segment. We conduct our business within the United States; foreign operations are not material.
The following table shows each segment’s key operating results and financial position for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

We provide a wide range of commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, real estate developers, property managers, business executives, professionals and other individuals. We operate community banking offices throughout the San Francisco Bay Area including Silicon Valley, San Francisco and the San Francisco Peninsula, the East Bay, Santa Cruz, Marin, Monterey, and Sonoma Counties, with 45 offices located in Aptos, Blackhawk, Capitola, Carmel, Cupertino, Danville, Fremont, Hayward, Lafayette, Los Gatos, Millbrae, Milpitas, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Pleasanton, Point Reyes Station, Redwood City, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, San Mateo, San Rafael, San Ramon, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Saratoga, Scotts Valley, Sunnyvale, Valley Ford, Walnut Creek and Watsonville. Certain of our divisions’ operations extend beyond the San Francisco Bay Area.

At June 30, 2002, we had total assets of $8.5 billion, total loans, net, of $4.6 billion and total deposits of $5.3 billion.
We have completed three mergers or acquisitions since December 31, 2000. The merger with SJNB Financial Corp. which resulted in the acquisition of San Jose National Bank was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, all of our financial information for the periods prior to the merger has been restated as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The acquisitions with CAPCO and ABD were accounted for using the purchase accounting method and accordingly CAPCO’s and ABD’s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater details of our results of operations and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial data included elsewhere in this document. Certain statements under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include but are not limited to economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations, fluctuation in interest rates, credit quality and government regulation and other factors discussed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Quarter to Date
The 40.1% increase in net income during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001 was the result of growth in loans and investments and an increase in insurance agency commissions and fees resulting from the acquisition of ABD in March 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, net interest income increased 21.6% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to a 28.7% increase in average interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period of 2001. Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 203.9%, primarily as a result of the ABD acquisition. The increases in loans and deposits also contributed to the 9.0% increase in loan and international banking fees and service charges and other fees. The revenue increases were partially offset by an increase in operating expenses which resulted from the ABD acquisition and increases incurred as required to service and support our growth. As a result, revenue increases were partially offset for the three months ended June 30, 2002 by a 69.2% increase in operating expenses, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding ABD, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, our operating expenses increased by 17.6% as compared to the same period last year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Year to Date
The 26.1% increase in net income during the first six months of 2002 as compared to the same period of 2001 was the result of growth in loans and investments and an increase in insurance agency commissions and fees resulting from the ABD acquisition in March 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net interest income increased 22.4% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to a 35.0% increase in average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 2001. Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 153.9%, primarily as a result of the ABD acquisition. The increases in loans and deposits also contributed to the 3.8% increase in loan and international banking fees and service charges and other fees. The revenue increases were partially offset by an increase in operating expenses which resulted from the ABD acquisition and increases incurred as required to service and support our growth. As a result, revenue increases were partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2002 by a 53.8% increase in operating expenses, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding ABD, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, our operating expenses increased by 18.2% as compared to the same period last year.
Net Interest Income—Overview
We have been able to effectively manage our net interest margin, expressed as net yield on interest-earning assets, over the last year as market interest rates declined 475 basis points during 2001. Our second quarter 2002 margin declined only 28 basis points from the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2001. Our asset sensitive balance sheet caused the decline in the net interest margin in 2001; however, active management of the balance sheet mitigated the impact. Falling market interest rates place pressure on our net interest margin, while during periods of rising market interest rates, our net interest margin will expand. Because the majority of our loans have interest rates tied to the prime rate, interest rates on those loans move upward immediately upon a market interest rate increase, compared to our interest bearing liabilities, which do not reprice as quickly, nor do they reprice to the same levels as the interest rate sensitive loans. In response to those conditions, we changed our balance sheet mix and composition as we shifted the funding source of our specialty finance businesses, which consist of the CAPCO, Corporate Finance, Matsco and Pacific Business Funding divisions, from a core deposit base to a wholesale funding strategy. This funding shift corresponded with our original strategy for financing these niche specialty finance businesses. The impact of this change has allowed us to also restructure and increase the size of our investment securities portfolio by funding a substantial portion of it with the deposits which previously supported the specialty finance business units. The overall impact of this funding change has been threefold. First, it has increased the overall net interest income from operations, second it has allowed us to improve liquidity and reduce the duration of our investment portfolio and third it has slightly reduced the asset sensitivity of our balance sheet. On a combined basis, this change has positioned us to slightly reduce our exposure to declining interest rates, while also effectively restructuring our balance sheet to take advantage of market interest rates when they move upward.
On the basis of information available to us, we believe it is likely that the Federal Reserve Board will not increase interest rates for the remainder of 2002. On a prospective basis, we believe that our net interest margin will increase approximately 3 to 6 basis points for every 25 basis point increase in market interest rates.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased 21.6% to $93.7 million for the second quarter of 2002 from $77.0 million for the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily due to the $1.7 billion, or 28.7%, increase in average interest-earning assets and was partially offset by the 28 basis point decrease in our net yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest income increased 1.2% in the second quarter of 2002 from $92.5 million from the first quarter of 2002. This increase was primarily due to the $205.4 million, or 2.7%, increase in average interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by the 13 basis point decrease in our net yield on interest-earning assets.
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, our condensed average balance sheet information together with interest income and yields earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The most significant impact on our net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of, and rate earned or paid on, interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of interest-earning asset dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in the net interest income between periods. Changes in interest income and expense which are not attributable specifically to either volume or rate are allocated proportionately between both variances. Nonaccrual loans are excluded in average loans. The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of the changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates (rate).

The Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to June 30, 2001
Interest income in the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased 4.9% to $130.8 million from $124.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. This was primarily due to the increase in interest-earning assets which was partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on average interest-earning assets.
Average interest-earning assets increased $1.7 billion, or 28.7%, to $7.7 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $6.0 billion in the same period for 2001. Average loans increased $310.2 million, or 7.3%, to $4.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $4.2 billion in the same period for 2001. Average investment securities, Federal funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 79.1% to $3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2002 from $1.8 billion in the same period for 2001.
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 154 basis points to 6.77% in the second quarter of 2002 from 8.31% in the same period of 2001, reflecting the 200 basis point decline in the Federal Funds rate during the second half of 2001 and the decrease in the percentage of our assets comprised of loans as compared to the lower yielding investment securities. Loans represented approximately 58.6% of total interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 70.3% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in loans as a percentage of total interest-earning assets was a result of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The average yield on loans decreased 170 basis points to 7.35% in the same period of 2002 from 9.05% for the same period in 2001.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2002 decreased 22.1% to $37.1 million from $47.6 million for the same period of 2001. This decrease was due to lower interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 167 basis points to 2.29% in the second quarter of 2002 from 3.96% in the same period of 2001. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits decreased 176 basis points to 1.95% in the same period of 2002 from 3.71% in the same period of 2001. The decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by an increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 34.8% to $6.5 billion in the second quarter of 2002 from $4.8 billion in the same period of 2001. The increase was due primarily to the increase in time deposit accounts and short term borrowings.
During the second quarter of 2002, average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $923.7 million from $977.0 million in the same period of 2001.
As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread increased to 4.48% in the second quarter of 2002 from 4.35% in the same period of 2001. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased in the second quarter of 2002 to 4.85% from 5.13% in the same period of 2001.
The Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to March 31, 2002
Interest income increased 1.1% to $130.8 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $129.4 million in the previous quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased 2.7% to $7.7 billion in the first quarter of 2002 from $7.5 billion in the previous quarter primarily as a result of an increase in investment securities. The yield on the higher volume of average interest-earning assets declined 19 basis points to 6.77% in the second quarter of 2002 from 6.96% in the previous quarter. The average yield on loans decreased 19 basis points to 7.35% in the second quarter of 2002 from 7.54% in the previous period. Average investment securities, Federal Funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 3.3% to $3.2 billion in the second quarter of 2002 from $3.1 billion in the previous quarter.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2002 increased 0.6% to $37.1 million from $36.9 million in the previous quarter as a result of an increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities which was partially offset by a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points to 2.29% in the second quarter of 2002 from 2.41% in the previous quarter. The average yield on interest bearing deposits decreased 11 basis points to 1.95% in the second quarter of 2002 from 2.06% in the previous quarter. Corresponding to the growth in average interest-earning assets, average interest-bearing liabilities increased 4.5% to $6.5 billion in the second quarter of 2002 from $6.2 billion in the previous quarter.
During the second quarter of 2002, average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $923.7 million from $935.4 million in the previous quarter.
As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread decreased to 4.48% in the second quarter of 2002 from 4.56% in the previous quarter. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 4.85% in the second quarter of 2002 from 4.98% in the previous quarter.

The Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 6.0% to $260.2 million from $245.4 million in the same period of 2001. This was primarily due to the increase in interest-earning assets which was partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on average interest-earning assets.
Average interest-earning assets increased $2.0 billion, or 35.0%, to $7.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $5.7 billion in the same period of 2001. Average loans increased $320.9 million, or 7.7%, to $4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $4.2 billion in the same period of 2001. Average investment securities, Federal Funds sold and other short-term securities, increased 111.1% to $3.2 billion in the six months ended 2002 from $1.5 billion in the same period of 2001.
The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 187 basis points to 6.87% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 8.74% in the same period of 2001, reflecting the 200 basis point decline in the Federal Funds rate during the second half of 2001 and the decrease in the percentage of our assets comprised of loans as compared to the lower yielding investment securities. Loans represent approximately 58.8% of total interest-earning assets in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 73.6% for the same period in 2001. The decrease in loans as a percentage of total interest-earning assets was a result of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The average yield on loans decreased 204 basis points to 7.45% in the same period of 2002 from 9.49% for the same period of 2001.

Interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased 20.7% to $74.0 million from $93.3 million for the same period of 2001. This decrease was due to lower interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 186 basis points to 2.35% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 4.21% in the same period of 2001. The average yield on interest bearing deposits decreased 201 basis points to 2.01% in the same period of 2002 from 4.02% in the same period 2001. The decline in rates paid on interest bearing-liabilities was partially offset by an increase in the balance of those liabilities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 42.5% to $6.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $4.5 billion in the same period of 2001. The increase was due primarily to the increase in borrowings which was a result of the implementation of our wholesale funding strategy, described above. The increase in borrowing was augmented by deposit growth resulting from the efforts of our relationship managers in generating core deposits from their client relationships.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, average noninterest-bearing deposits decreased to $929.5 million from $996.5 million in the same period of 2001.
As a result of the foregoing, our interest rate spread decreased to 4.52% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from 4.53% in the same period of 2001. The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2002 to 4.92% from 5.42% in the same period of 2001.

We incurred client service expenses with respect to our noninterest-bearing deposits. These expenses include courier and armored car services, check supplies and other related items that are included in operating expenses. If we had included these expenses in interest expense, our net yield on interest-earning assets would have been as follows for each of the periods presented.

The impact on the net yield on interest-earning assets is determined by offsetting net interest income by the cost of client service expense, which reduces the yield on interest-earning assets. The cost for client service expense reflects our efforts to control interest expense.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents the current period credit cost associated with maintaining an appropriate allowance for credit losses. The loan loss provision for each period is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, management’s assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral on problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market area. Periodic fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates.
The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2002 was $9.0 million, compared to $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2001. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $25.0 million, compared to the $17.4 million for the same period of last year. Our ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans at June 30, 2002 was 2.68%, as compared to 2.77% at December 31, 2001. Non-performing assets at June 30, 2002 were $42.9 million, or 0.50% of assets, compared to $31.0 million, or 0.39% of assets, at December 31, 2001. For further information on nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses and a description of our systematic methodology employed in determining an adequate allowance for loan losses, see “Financial Condition—Nonperforming Assets” and “Financial Condition—Allowance for Loan Losses”.

Non-Interest Income
Total recurring non-interest income increased to $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared to $22.6 million for the first quarter of 2002 and $12.5 million for the second quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our recurring non-interest income increased to $62.1 million as compared to $24.0 million for the same period last year.

Non-interest income increased during the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the first quarter of 2002, and the second quarter of 2001, primarily due to the increase in insurance agency commissions and fees. As a result of the ABD acquisition in March 2002, our second quarter results included three months of insurance agency commissions and fees totaling $27.6 million as compared to the one month total of $10.9 million recorded during the first quarter of 2002.
During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded a $210,000 gain on sale of loans, compared to $496,000 for the first quarter of 2002, and $375,000 gain in the second quarter of 2001.
During the second quarter of 2002, we recorded a $2.7 million gain on sale of investments, compared to a $200,000 gain for the first quarter of 2002, and a $3.9 million gain in the second quarter of 2001. The gain on sale of investments in the second quarter of 2002 was the result of sales undertaken to manage interest rate risk and in anticipation of forthcoming increases in prepayment rates. The gain on sale of investments in the second quarter of 2001 was the result of a program to consolidate the investment portfolios of our ten subsidiary banks. As a result of this program, we liquidated a number of our smaller investment positions.

Other income for the second quarter of 2002, first quarter of 2002 and fourth quarter of 2001 includes $297,000, $149,000 and $636,000, respectively, in income recognized on derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”). These derivative instruments had previously been treated as interest rate hedges and the unrealized gains and losses on those instruments had been included in other comprehensive income. There was no such income prior to the fourth quarter of 2001.
For the second quarter of 2001, there was $504,000 in warrant income, which is net of related employee incentives of $216,000. There was no such income during the second quarter of 2002 or the first quarter of 2002. At June 30, 2002, we held approximately 126 warrant positions. We occasionally receive warrants to acquire common stock from companies that are in the start-up or development phase. The timing and amount of income derived from the exercise and sale of client warrants typically depend upon factors beyond our control, and cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy and are likely to vary materially from period to period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Operating expenses totaled $70.5 million for the second quarter of 2002, compared to $55.0 million for the first quarter of 2002 and $41.7 million for the second quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our operating expenses totaled $125.5 million as compared to $81.6 million for the same period last year. The ratio of operating expenses to average assets was 3.36% in the second quarter of 2002, 2.78% in the first quarter of 2002, and 2.60% in the second quarter of 2001.
The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total operating expenses by net interest income and non-interest income. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same (or greater) volume of income while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. Our efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2002 was 52.95%, compared to 47.77% in the first quarter of 2002 and 46.28% in the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the addition of ABD and other nonrecurring items, our efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2002 was 46.61%, compared to 45.64% in the first quarter of 2002 and 46.54% in second quarter of 2001.
Operating expenses increased $15.5 million during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. This increase is primarily due to the three months of ABD’s operating expense as compared to one month in the previous quarter. Excluding the addition of ABD, operating expenses, excluding nonrecurring costs would have increased $1.5 million. Our total operating expenses to average assets before merger and other nonrecurring items and excluding ABD was 2.40% as compared to 2.42% for the first quarter of 2002. As compared to second quarter of 2001, operating expenses during the second quarter of 2002 increased $28.8 million. This increase was due to our acquisition of ABD and CAPCO and the additions in personnel made during 2001 and 2002 to accommodate our growth.
Compensation and benefits expenses increased in the second quarter of 2002 to $38.6 million, compared to $28.6 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2001. This increase is primarily as a result of our acquisition of ABD. Compensation and benefits expenses for ABD were $15.2 million and $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2001, respectively.
The expense for dividends on Trust Preferred Securities and preferred stock of the real estate investment trust was $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2002, compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 and $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2001. This increase reflects the issuance of $123.5 million in Trust Preferred Securities in 2001 and 2002; and $15.6 million in the preferred stock of CNB Investment Trust II, a real estate investment trust subsidiary of the Cupertino National Bank. On July 22, 2002, we redeemed all of the outstanding trust preferred securities, totaling $20.0 million, of GBB Capital I, a trust subsidiary owned by Greater Bay that was formed on March 30, 1997. We believe that the Trust Preferred Securities and preferred stock of the real estate investment trusts expense primarily represents a cost of capital, as opposed to traditional operating expense.
During the second quarter of 2002, legal and other professional fees increased to $1.9 million, compared to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2001.

Our amortization of intangibles totaled $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2002, compared to $562,000 for the first quarter of 2002, and compared to $366,000 for the second quarter of 2001. The amortization for 2002 primarily relates to expirations recorded with the ABD acquisition. Amortization of other intangible assets for 2002 through 2006 is estimated to range between $5.0 million and $6.5 million annually.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter and six months ended of 2002 and 2001 was 37.5%. The effective rates were lower than the statutory rate of 42% due to tax exempt income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased 8.2% to $8.5 billion at June 30, 2002, compared to $7.9 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily due to increases in our loans and investment securities funded by growth in deposits and other borrowings.
Investment Securities
Investment securities increased 7.1% to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2001. We manage our investment portfolio to meet our liquidity needs through proceeds from scheduled maturities and to manage our interest rate risk. The portfolio is utilized for pledging requirements for deposits of state and local subdivisions, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate debt instruments and a modest amount of equity securities, including Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB stock. We do not include Federal Funds sold and certain other short-term securities as investment securities. These other investments are included in cash and cash equivalents. Investment securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value, while investment securities classified as held to maturity are recorded at cost. Unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities, net of the deferred tax effect, are reported as increases or decreases in shareholders’ equity.
Loans
Total gross loans at June 30, 2002 was $4.7 billion, compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 2001 and $4.3 billion at June 30, 2001.
Our loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial (primarily manufacturing, service and technology) and real estate lending, with the balance in leases and consumer loans. While no specific industry concentration is considered significant, our lending operations are located in a market area that is dependent on the technology and real estate industries and supporting service companies. Thus, a downturn in these sectors of the economy could adversely impact our borrowers. This could, in turn, reduce the demand for loans and adversely impact the borrowers’ abilities to repay their loans, while also decreasing our net interest margin.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, total loans increased $187.9 million or 4.17%, with nearly all of the growth occurring during the second quarter. Our pipeline of loans declined from the end of September 2001 through January 2002. In February 2002, we saw a slight increase in the loan pipeline and, beginning in March, our pipeline was once again growing. However, even with the pipeline increase, we are continuing to see that our corporate borrowers’ usage of their lines of credit is low compared to prior periods, indicating they are cautious about debt levels during a period of economic uncertainty. We are also continuing to see slowing in the commercial construction market, as builders postpone or delay projects. This factor is accentuated as we continue to take a conservative posture related to credit underwriting, which we believe is a prudent course of action. We are continuing to focus our attention on our quality client relationships and avoid growth on the fringe during these uncertain times.
Of our loan growth for the first six months of 2002, $88.9 million or just under half of our total growth, occurred in our commercial loan portfolio. During that same period, real estate loans increased by $124.7 million. The growth was offset by a contraction of $25.7 million in consumer and other loans. During the recent economic down turn and continuing through quarter end, we have seen super regional and money center banks make the decision not to serve certain market segments, including real estate loan markets in parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. This pull out of the market by larger banks creates a unique opportunity for community banks to attract high quality credits which might not be available to them at other times. We believe that our Regional Community Banking Philosophy will enable us to take advantage of this opportunity to originate new, high quality, real estate loans while also continuing our focus on growing our commercial loans portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets
We generally place loans on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued and not collected is generally reversed from income. Loans are charged off when management determines that collection has become unlikely. Restructured loans are performing loans where we have granted a concession on the interest paid or original repayment terms due to financial difficulties of the borrower. Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the related collateral underlying defaulted loans.
The following table sets forth information regarding nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

Non-performing assets at June 30, 2002 totaled $42.9 million, or 0.50% of assets, compared to $28.8 million, or 0.35% of assets at March 31, 2002 and $31.0 million, or 0.39% of assets, at December 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2002, our peer group average ratio of nonperforming asset to total assets was 0.97% based on the Uniform Bank Holding Company Performance Report. While we recognize that the economic slowdown can impact our clients’ financial performance and ultimately their ability to repay their loans, we continue to be cautiously optimistic about the key credit indicators from our loan portfolio. We believe we are proactive in managing credit risk to ensure we have a strong and well-reserved balance sheet to manage through slowing economic periods.

At June 30, 2002, $14.9 million of the nonperforming loans were from our Shared National Credit (“SNC”) portfolio, $4.8 million were venture banking credits and $9.6 million were related to the real estate loan portfolio.
As June 30, 2002, the non-relationship SNC portfolio has been reduced to approximately $70 million or 1.5% of total loans. We are exploring options to reduce this portfolio either through individual loan sales or a bulk portfolio sale. As we have previously disclosed, we have not funded a non-relationship SNC loan in over 30 months and we do not expect to re-enter this market in the foreseeable future. In addition, no losses were incurred in our venture lending portfolio during the second quarter of 2002. This portfolio is now down to approximately $72 million. At June 30, 2002, our SNC and venture lending portfolios combined represent approximately 3.0% of total loans.
For the second quarter of 2002, we had $9.6 million in non-performing real estate loans which represents 0.38% of the real estate loan portfolio. We believe that each of these non-performing loans has adequate collateral coverage. During the second quarter of 2002, we sold one OREO property totaling $972,000 at no loss. During the second quarter of 2002, we also foreclosed on a second property with a carrying value of $509,000. This property was sold for a slight gain following the end of the second quarter of 2002. The nonperforming real estate loans are primarily comprised of two loans each with current balances between $4.0 million and $5.0 million. We have obtained a current appraisal on the larger of these loans which indicates a loan to value ratio of approximately 80% and we are in the process of updating the valuation of the collateral on the second loan. We believe our relationship management focus combined with our proactive credit management strategies will minimize the impact of the real estate market on our non-performing loans, OREO and resulting net charge-offs. We anticipate the possibility of some additional risk rating migration of real estate loans if the economy fails to improve as expected during the remainder of 2002.
We performed a market sensitivity and property status analysis on all 77 individual real estate loans in excess of $5.0 million, representing 30% of all real estate loans. Through our analysis we have identified four loans that, based on the results of our analysis, could be at risk. A sale of the property is pending on one of these loans with no loss anticipated to us. For two of the loans we have negotiated for additional funds to be brought in. The remaining loan identified as being at risk is one where we are working with the borrower to bring in additional funds. However, based on current analysis, we are unsure if the funds will be received. Therefore, we have included this loan in our disclosure of loans having a higher than normal risk of becoming nonperforming. We have begun an expanded sensitivity analysis for loans between $2.0 million and $5.0 million and have completed the analysis on over 40% of the 90 loans in this expanded group. When completed, this expanded analysis will cover an additional 15% of our real estate portfolio. To date, we have not identified any loans in this category that would result in significant loss exposure. Based on these results, we currently believe we do not have any systemic areas of concern in our real estate loan portfolio.
For the balance of the portfolio under $2.0 million we continue to look at late payments and operating statements to evaluate areas of concern. We are not seeing signs of delinquencies in specific areas of the portfolio and we attribute this to our relationship style of lending and conservative underwriting standards. While we are pleased with these results we continue to be vigilant in monitoring this portfolio of loans.
The balance of loans past due 90 days or more and accruing increased to $6.7 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 2001. In addition to the loans disclosed above as nonaccrual or restructured, management has also identified two loans totaling approximately $11.8 million that on the basis of information known to us were judged to have a higher than normal risk of becoming nonperforming. One of the loans is a real estate loan discussed above totaling $7.8 million, with the balance being one SNC loan totaling $3.9 million that we determined had, subsequent to June 30, 2002, been graded as a nonperforming loan during the regulatory exam at the lead agent bank. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which economic conditions may worsen or other factors may impact our borrowers and our loan portfolio. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that other loans will not become 90 days or more past due, be placed on nonaccrual, become restructured loans, or other real estate owned in the future.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of risk inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged against current earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Loans are charged off when they are deemed to be uncollectable; recoveries are generally recorded only when cash payments are received.
The following table sets forth information concerning our allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the period indicated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
We employ a systematic methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses, which includes a monthly review process and monthly adjustment of the allowance. Our process includes a periodic loan by loan review for loans that are individually evaluated for impairment as well as detailed reviews of our other loans, either individually or in pools. This includes an assessment of known problem loans, potential problem loans, and other loans that exhibit indicators of deterioration.
Our methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements and borrowers’ sensitivity to quantifiable external factors including commodity and finished goods prices as well as acts of nature (earthquakes, fires, etc.) that occur in a particular period.
Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our marketplace, and in particular, the state of the technology industries based in the Silicon Valley and other key industries in the San Francisco Bay Area. The size and complexity of individual credits in relation to lending officers’ background and experience levels, loan structure, extent and nature of waivers of existing loan policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in our methodology.
Our methodology is, and has been, consistently followed. However, as we add new products, increase in complexity, and expand our geographic coverage, we will enhance our methodology to keep pace with the size and complexity of the loan portfolio. In this regard, we have periodically engaged outside firms to independently assess our methodology, and on an ongoing basis we engage outside firms to perform independent credit reviews of our loan portfolio. Management believes that our systematic methodology continues to be appropriate given our size and level of complexity.
While this methodology utilizes historical and other objective information, the establishment of the allowance for loan losses, is to some extent, based on the judgment and experience of management. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30, 2002 to cover known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. However, future changes in circumstances, economic conditions or other factors could cause management to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as necessary.
At June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $126.1 million, consisting of a $106.6 million allocated allowance and a $19.5 million unallocated allowance. The unallocated allowance recognizes the model and estimation risk associated with the allocated allowances, and management’s evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in determining the allocated allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss regarding these conditions involves a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated allowance include the following at the balance sheet date:
• | The current business cycle and existing general economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas; economic and business conditions affecting our key lending portfolios; |
• | Seasoning of the loan portfolio, growth in loan volumes and changes in loan terms; and |
• | The results of bank regulatory examinations. |

Deposits
We emphasize developing total client relationships in order to increase our core deposit base. Deposits reached $5.3 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of 6.2% compared to December 31, 2001. Approximately 90% of this increase was related to growth in money market demand accounts and is a result of the success of the promotion of our Treasury Plus program to attract new deposits.
In this economic environment, we believe our clients are more likely to utilize deposits and cash-on-hand rather than other funding sources. This is particularly evidenced in our venture banking unit, as our business clients focus more on managing current operations than business expansion, which has resulted in a reduction in their borrowing needs. The economic slowdown has also impacted our Trust unit as the general market conditions have reduced investments in our money market accounts.
Our noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts decreased 2.1% to $933.5 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $954.0 million at December 31, 2001.
Money market deposit accounts (“MMDA”), negotiable order of withdrawal accounts (“NOW”) and savings accounts were $2.6 billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2001.
MMDA, NOW and savings accounts were 48.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2002 as compared to 45.7% at December 31, 2001. Time certificates of deposit totaled $1.8 billion, or 34.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2002 compared to $1.8 billion or 35.2% of total deposits at December 31, 2001.
Liquidity and Cash Flow
The objective of our liquidity management is to maintain each Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our clients who either wish to withdraw funds or require funds to meet their credit needs. We must manage our liquidity position to allow the Banks to meet the needs of their clients while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment expectations of our shareholders. We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. In addition to liquidity from core deposits and repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Banks have the ability to sell securities under agreements to repurchase, obtain FHLB advances or purchase overnight Federal Funds.

Greater Bay is a company separate and apart from the Banks and therefore it must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses, Greater Bay is responsible for the payment of the interest on the outstanding issues of trust preferred securities and is directly responsible for the contingent interest on the zero coupon senior convertible contingent debt securities, and the dividends paid on our common stock and the 7.25% convertible preferred stock. Substantially all of Greater Bay’s revenues are obtained from management fees, interest received on its investments and dividends declared and paid by our subsidiaries. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that limit the ability of ABD and the Banks to pay dividends to Greater Bay. At June 30, 2002, the subsidiaries had approximately $83.7 million in the aggregate available to be paid as dividends to Greater Bay. Management of Greater Bay believes that such restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of Greater Bay to meet our ongoing cash obligations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Greater Bay raised approximately $200 million through a private offering of zero coupon senior convertible contingent debt securities. As of June 30, 2002, Greater Bay did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $106.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $44.0 million for the same period in 2001. Cash used for investing activities totaled $483.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $1.3 billion in the same period of 2001. The funds used for investing activities primarily represent increases in loans and investment securities for each period reported.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash provided by financing activities was $426.6 million, compared to $1.0 billion in the same period of 2001. Historically, our primary financing activity has been through deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, deposit gathering activities generated cash of $309.1 million and $129.2 million, respectively. This represents a total of 72.4% and 12.6% of the financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2001, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, net change in short term and long term borrowings was $113.5 million and $902.2 million, respectively. The cash provided by borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was the result of our loan and investment growth exceeding deposit growth. The large change in borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was the result of the implementation of our wholesale funding strategy.

Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2002 increased to $609.8 million from $463.7 million at December 31, 2001. Greater Bay declared dividends of $0.125, and $0.43 per share during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, excluding dividends paid by subsidiaries prior to the completion of their mergers.
A banking organization’s total qualifying capital includes two components: core capital (Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital). Core capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common shareholders’ equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities and preferred stock of real estate investment trust subsidiaries of the Banks, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan losses, (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities, certain other capital instruments and term subordinated debt. Our major capital components are shareholders’ equity and Trust Preferred Securities in core capital, and the allowance for loan losses in supplementary capital.
At June 30, 2002, the minimum risk-based capital requirements to be considered adequately capitalized were 4.0% for core capital and 8.0% for total capital. Federal banking regulators have also adopted leverage capital guidelines to supplement risk-based measures. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital as defined under the risk-based guidelines by average total assets (not risk-adjusted) for the preceding quarter. The minimum leverage ratio is 3.0%, although certain banking organizations are expected to exceed that amount by 1.0% or more, depending on their circumstances.
Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. Our capital levels at June 30, 2002 and the two highest levels recognized under these regulations are as follows:
Leverage ratio | Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio | Total risk-based capital ratio | |||||||
Greater Bay Bancorp | 7.77 | % | 10.66 | % | 12.26 | % | |||
Well-capitalized | 5.00 | % | 6.00 | % | 10.00 | % | |||
Adequately capitalized | 4.00 | % | 4.00 | % | 8.00 | % |
In addition, at June 30, 2002, each of our subsidiary banks had levels of capital that exceeded the well-capitalized guidelines.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Our financial performance is impacted by, among other factors, interest rate risk and credit risk. We do not utilize derivatives to mitigate our credit risk, relying instead on an extensive loan review process and our allowance for loan losses. See “—Allowance for Loan Losses” herein.
Interest rate risk is the change in value due to changes in interest rates. This risk is addressed by our Asset & Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact to the net portfolio of equity value and net interest income from potential changes to interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages our balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net portfolio value and net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors and the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine our change in net portfolio value in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. If potential changes to net portfolio value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct management to adjust our asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board-approved limits.
In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we have implemented strategies to more closely match our overall balance sheet composition. Our investment portfolio strategy continues to be focused on investing in securities which are less susceptible to extension risk in the event of an increase in interest rates (i.e., have shorter and less volatile duration—currently approximately 2 years on average). Average lives of new investments are approximately 3 years on average. Correspondingly we have utilized short-term borrowings to shorten the effective duration of our liabilities.
We, along with the assistance of an independent third party firm, have reviewed the company’s exposure to rising and falling interest rates and have performed several simulation model analyses utilizing various interest rate scenarios including:
• | An instantaneous flattening of the yield curve with short term rates (yield curve 1 year and under) increasing 200 basis points with a subsequent instantaneous interest rate increase/decrease of 100 basis points |
• | An gradual (ramp) change in rates equally over a 12 month period—200 bps increase over 12 months and a 100 bps decrease over 12 months. |
• | An instantaneous rate increase and decrease of 100 bps |
The result of all of these simulation analyses on our net interest income (and therefore net income) as well as market value of portfolio equity is not material, as the consolidated balance sheet has been structured to withstand a variety of movements in interest rates and still provide quality net interest income as well as maintain a stable market value of portfolio equity. All of these scenarios assumed our mix of assets and liabilities remained relatively constant with the continued forecast growth in both loans and deposits consistent with our performance targets. The following table provides an overview of the results of our analyses on net interest income over the next 12 months.
Rate Scenario | -100 bps | Flat | +100 bps | ||||||
Flattening Yield Curve | (1.15 | %) | (0.40 | %) | 0.10 | % | |||
Ramp Analysis | (3.28 | %) | — | 1.21 | %* | ||||
Instantaneous Rates Change | (3.61 | %) | — | 1.35 | % |
* Results indicate of impact from a 200 bps change ratably over 12 months.
In addition to the simulation analyses above, we also evaluated alternatives to reduce the size of the investment portfolio and its impact on net interest income. The results of this analysis indicate that interest rate risk in the balance sheet would actually increase in a flat or down rate environment, while improving the margins slightly in an up rate environment. However, in executing such a potential strategy (which has a bias toward increasing interest rates) we would be exposed to a decline in net interest income and ultimately net income.
We continue to actively monitor our interest rate risk position in the context of the overall balance sheet and will implement a strategy we believe will support our long term goals, which are to continue to provide quality earnings to our shareholders while mitigating interest rate risk.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Market Value of Portfolio Equity
Interest rate sensitivity is computed by estimating the changes in net portfolio of equity value, or market value over a range of potential changes in interest rates. The market value of equity is the market value of our assets minus the market value of our liabilities plus the market value of any off-balance sheet items. The market value of each asset, liability, and off-balance sheet item is the net present value of expected cash flows discounted at market rates after adjustment for rate changes. We measure the impact on market value for an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase and decrease (shock) in interest rates. The following table shows our projected change in net portfolio value for this set of rate shocks as of June 30, 2002.
Change in interest rates (Dollars in millions) | Net portfolio value | Projected change | ||||||||
Dollars | Percentage | |||||||||
100 basis point rise | $ | 1,195.7 | $ | 5.1 | 0.4 | % | ||||
Base scenario | 1,190.6 | — | — | |||||||
100 basis point decline | 1,160.4 | (30.2 | ) | -2.5 | % |
The preceding table indicates that as of June 30, 2002 an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our net portfolio value by approximately 0.4%.
The market value of portfolio equity is based on the net present values of each product in the portfolio, which in turn is based on cash flows factoring in recent market prepayment estimates from public sources. The discount rates are based on recently observed spread relationships and adjusted for the assumed interest rate changes. Some valuations are provided directly from independent broker quotations.
Net Interest Income Simulation
The impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income are measured using income simulation. The various products in our balance sheet are modeled to simulate their income (and cash flow) behavior in relation to interest rates. Income for the next 12 months is calculated for current interest rates and for immediate and sustained rate shocks.
The income simulation model includes various assumptions regarding the repricing relationships for each product. Many of our assets are floating rate loans, which are assumed to reprice immediately, and to the same extent as the change in market rates according to their contracted index. Our non-term deposit products reprice more slowly, usually changing less than the change in market rates and at our discretion. As of June 30, 2002, the analysis indicates that our net interest income for the next 12 months would increase 1.35% if rates increased 100 basis points, and decrease by 3.61% if rates decreased 100 basis points.
The above +/-100 basis points net interest income analysis is a static analysis that does not consider likely expected balance sheet mix changes in an actual rate change scenario. A 100 basis points increase in rates would be commensurate with an improving economy and is expected to increase loan and deposit growth rates.
Based on conservative estimates of balance sheet mix changes in rate up 100 basis points as discussed above, we expect that net interest income would increase by approximately 2.5%–3.5%. Additionally, in rates up 200 basis points, we believe that net interest income would increase by approximately 5%–7%.
This analysis indicates the impact of change in net interest income for the given set of rate changes and assumptions. It assumes the balance sheet grows modestly, but that our structure is to remain similar to the structure at year-end. It does not account for all the factors that impact this analysis including changes by management to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes or secondary impacts such as changes to our credit risk profile as interest rates change. Furthermore loan and investment prepayment rate estimates and spread relationships change regularly. Interest rate changes create changes in actual loan and investment prepayment rates that will differ from the market estimates incorporated in the analysis. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in our portfolio could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease below current levels. Changes that vary significantly from the assumptions may have significant effects on our net interest income.

Gap Analysis
In addition to the above analysis, we also perform a gap analysis as part of the overall interest rate risk management process. This analysis is focused on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics over future periods. An effective interest rate risk management strategy seeks to match the volume of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing during each period. Gap sensitivity is measured as the difference between the volume of assets and liabilities in our current portfolio that is subject to repricing at various time horizons. The main focus is usually for the one-year cumulative gap. The difference is known as interest sensitivity gaps.

The foregoing table indicates that we had a one year negative gap of $(1.5) billion, or (18.1)% of total assets, at June 30, 2002. In theory, this would indicate that at June 30, 2002, $1.5 billion more in liabilities than assets would reprice if there were a change in interest rates over the next 365 days. Thus, if interest rates were to decline, the gap would indicate a resulting increase in net interest margin. However, changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the interest rate spread between an asset and our supporting liability can vary significantly while the timing of repricing of both the asset and our supporting liability can remain the same, thus impacting net interest income. This characteristic is referred to as a basis risk and, generally, relates to the repricing characteristics of short-term funding sources such as certificates of deposit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gap analysis has certain limitations. Measuring the volume of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities does not always measure the full impact on the portfolio value of equity or net interest income. Gap analysis does not account for rate caps on products; dynamic changes such as increasing prepay speeds as interest rates decrease, basis risk, or the benefit of non-rate funding sources. The relation between product rate repricing and market rate changes (basis risk) is not the same for all products. The majority of our loan portfolio reprices quickly and completely following changes in market rates, while non-term deposit rates in general move more slowly and usually incorporate only a fraction of the change in rates. Products categorized as non-rate sensitive, such as our noninterest-bearing demand deposits, in the gap analysis behave like long term fixed rate funding sources. Both of these factors tend to make our actual behavior more assets sensitive than is indicated in the gap analysis. In fact, we experience higher net interest income when rates rise, opposite what is indicated by the gap analysis. In fact, during the recent period of declines in interest rates, our net interest earning assets has declined. See “Results of Operations Net Interest Income—The Quarter Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to March 31, 2002”. Therefore, management uses income simulation, net interest income rate shocks and market value of portfolio equity as our primary interest rate risk management tools.
Recent Events
On July 22, 2002, we redeemed all of the outstanding trust preferred securities, totaling $20.0 million, of GBB Capital I, a trust subsidiary owned by Greater Bay that was formed on March 30, 1997. As a result, during the second quarter of 2002, there was a $975,000 cost related to this early extinguishment of GBB Capital I. Upon redemption of the trust preferred securities, we do not expect a significant change in our subsidiary banks’ capital level. This redemption will reduce our trust preferred securities expense by $488,000 per quarter on a prospective basis.
