5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142) on January 1, 2002. As
of the date of adoption, the corporation had unamortized goodwill of $150.183
million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets of $49.765 million, all
of which are subject to the transition provisions of SFAS 142. The corporation
did not acquire or dispose of any goodwill during the first six months of 2002,
and in accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer being amortized, but
instead is to be tested for impairment at least annually. The corporation has
evaluated its goodwill and other intangible assets and determined that there is
no impairment as of June 30, 2002. Substantially all of the identifiable
intangible assets are core deposit premiums and there was no adjustment to the
useful lives of these assets as a result of adopting SFAS 142. The carrying
amount of amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2002, and the actual and
expected amortization expense are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
QUARTERLY RESULTS:
First Virginia Banks, Inc. reported a 26% increase in 2002 second quarter
earnings per share from recurring operations to $.97 or $46.566 million
compared to $.77 or $35.532 million earned in the second quarter of 2001. The
prior year's second quarter total earnings of $.81 per share included an after-
tax gain of $.04 per share or $1.853 million from the sale of the corporation's
interest in an electronic switch network. Excluding the gain in the 2001
second quarter, the return on average assets increased to 1.72% compared to
1.47% in the prior year, and the return on average shareholders' equity
increased to 15.65% compared to 13.83%. Cash basis recurring income, which
excludes both the effects of intangible assets and their related amortization
and the gain on the sale of the switch network in the 2001 second quarter,
equaled $48.091 million or $1.00 per share compared to $38.583 million or $.83
per share in the prior year's second quarter. Cash basis recurring income
produced a return on average tangible assets of 1.81% in the second quarter and
a return on average tangible shareholders' equity of 19.37%, placing First
Virginia among the best performing banks in the country.
For the first six months of 2002, earnings per share from recurring
operations increased 20% to $1.84 or $88.785 million compared to $1.53 or
$71.059 million earned in the comparable period of 2001. Excluding the gain in
the first half of 2001 of $.14 per share or $6.588 million from the sale of the
corporation's interest in the electronic switch network mentioned above, the
return on average assets increased to 1.66% compared to 1.49% in the prior
year, and the return on average shareholders' equity increased to 15.06%
compared to 13.98%. Cash basis recurring income produced a return on average
tangible assets of 1.75% for the first six months of 2002 and a return on
average tangible shareholders' equity of 18.72% compared to 1.64% and 17.88%,
respectively, in the prior year.
Total assets and deposits achieved new highs and have increased 13% in the
past year. Total assets at June 30, 2002, were $10.951 billion compared to
$9.706 billion a year ago. Spurring the growth in total assets was a strong
growth in deposits, particularly in lower-cost transaction-oriented accounts.
Average total deposits increased 12% to $8.874 billion in the second quarter of
2002 compared to $7.907 billion in the prior year's second quarter. Average
money market accounts led the growth in deposits, advancing 46% over the prior
year's second quarter, followed by a 16% growth in average demand deposits and
a 14% growth in average interest checking deposits. Despite a significant
downward repricing in interest rates for maturing certificates of deposit,
which lowered the average cost of the total portfolio of consumer certificates
by 152 basis points in the second quarter, average balances in this category
declined less than 1% compared to the prior year's quarter.
Average loans increased 5% in the second quarter compared to the prior
year's second quarter. Most of the increase came in real estate loans, which
increased 28% as consumers took advantage of historically low interest rates
and refinanced existing mortgages into the corporation's 10- and 15-year fixed-
rate products. Average installment loans to consumers advanced modestly
compared to the prior year's second quarter, but declined slightly compared to
the first quarter, as a faster pace of repayment of home equity loans exceeded
the growth of automobile loans. Average commercial loans increased at a 5%
annualized pace over the first quarter.
An increase of 20 basis points drove the corporation's net interest margin
to 5.04% in the second quarter compared to 4.84% in 2001, and to 5.00% for the
first six months of the year compared to 4.86% in 2001. Contributing to the
improvement in the net interest margin in the second quarter was a decline in
the cost of funds of 30 basis points compared to the first quarter and a
decline of 126 basis points compared to the previous year's second quarter.
The cost of consumer certificates of deposit also declined as higher-rate
certificates issued in previous years matured in the first half of the year.
The corporation will likely continue to benefit in the third quarter from this
continued reduction in the cost of maturing certificates, but by the end of the
quarter the majority of higher-rate certificates will have been repriced and
the decline in yields on earning assets will limit further improvements in the
net interest margin. The yield on earning assets declined 16 basis points
compared to the first quarter of 2002 and was down 77 basis points compared to
the prior year's second quarter. First Virginia has historically maintained an
interest rate neutral position in its assets and liabilities so market rate
swings do not have a dramatic impact on the net interest margin. The
corporation has achieved a net interest margin in excess of 5.00% for 23 of the
past 25 years.
First Virginia's asset quality continues to be one of the best among the
100 largest banks in the United States. During the second quarter,
nonperforming assets declined 13% compared to the first quarter and achieved a
new record low of .26% of outstanding loans compared to .30% at the end of the
previous quarter and .29% at June 30, 2001. Total nonperforming assets at June
30, 2002 were $17.278 million compared to $19.898 million at March 31, 2002,
and $17.992 million at the end of the prior year's second quarter. Net loan
charge-offs also remain low and were $2.837 million or .17% of average loans in
the second quarter compared to $2.631 million or .16% in the first quarter and
$2.382 million or .15% of loans in the prior year's second quarter. These
rates are less than one-half the level of First Virginia's peer group of banks.
First Virginia lends to only the most highly qualified individuals and
organizations in the communities in which it operates to effectively control
risk and limit its exposure to losses, and it has no exposure to international
or national shared credits. At June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses
represented 1.11% of outstanding loans and covered annualized net charge-offs
6.71 times compared to 1.10% and 7.42 times at the end of June 2001. The
provision for loan loss expense increased to $3.359 million in the second
quarter of 2002 compared to $2.138 million in the prior year's second quarter
and is up 129% in the first six months of 2002 primarily as a result of the
growth that occurred in the loan portfolio compared to a year ago when
outstanding loans were declining. Loans past due 90 days or more were
virtually unchanged from the end of the first quarter of 2002 and the second
quarter of 2001 and totaled $11.022 million or .17% of outstanding loans at
June 30, 2002.
A summary of nonperforming and delinquent loans is as follows:
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30 2002 2001
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonaccruing loans $14,701 $13,600
Restructured loans 535 929
Properties acquired by foreclosure 2,042 3,463
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total nonperforming assets $17,278 $17,992
=============================================================================
Percentage of total loans and foreclosed real estate .26% .29%
Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest $11,022 $11,057
Percentage of total loans .17% .18%
=============================================================================
Excluding a $3.032 million gain on the sale of the corporation's interest
in the electronic switch network in the prior year's second quarter,
noninterest income increased 12% in the second quarter of 2002. The
corporation continued to have significant increases in the sales and usage of
its electronic banking products, with income from this area increasing 16% in
the second quarter. The sale of insurance products, spurred by increased sales
of annuities, title insurance on real estate, and commercial lines to
businesses in the corporation's market area, has been particularly strong,
rising 36% in the second quarter. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased 8% in the second quarter, primarily from the fees generated by
commercial customers. The corporation has developed a specialty in providing
cash processing and deposit services to large multi-location retail businesses
operating in its markets. In the second quarter a new remittance facility was
established, utilizing the latest technology for high-speed, high-volume
payment processing, to further enhance the corporation's presence in this
market.
Continued efforts to control costs resulted in further improvements in the
corporation's efficiency ratio. Total noninterest expense was down slightly
from the first quarter despite the growth in the corporation's sales and, as a
consequence, the efficiency ratio declined to 51.7% compared to 55.5% in the
prior year's second quarter and outperformed a peer group average of 58.4% in
2001. The corporation has fewer employees today than it did in 1994 despite a
39% increase in assets and several acquisitions. This has been accomplished
through gradual improvements in technology and operating procedures and without
the layoffs and reductions in service so frequently seen in other companies
today.
Total shareholders' equity was $1.216 billion at June 30, 2002, compared
to $1.037 billion at June 30, 2001. Net book value per share increased 13% to
$25.39 compared to $22.46 at the end of the prior year's second quarter.
Despite the growth in total assets and deposits, First Virginia, already one of
the best capitalized banks in the nation, increased its capital ratios further
over the past year. The corporation's Tier 1 capital leverage ratio at June
30, 2002, was 9.58%, a 26-basis-point increase compared to 9.32% at the end of
the second quarter of 2001. During the second quarter, the corporation
repurchased 4,500 shares of stock, leaving 1.595 million shares remaining in
its currently authorized share repurchase program. At June 30, 2002, there
were 47.876 million shares outstanding.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accounting and reporting policies of the corporation are in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and conform with general practices in the banking industry. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with these principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and
assumptions are based on information available at the date of the financial
statements and could differ from actual results. The more critical of the
accounting policies involves the determination of the allowance for loan
losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents
management's best estimate of credit losses for specifically identified loans
as well as losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. The
allowance is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased by the provision
for loan losses and recoveries of previous losses. The provision for loan
losses is charged to earnings and is the periodic cost of maintaining an
appropriate allowance. Estimates for determining the proper level of the
allowance for loan losses are based on historical loss rates, changes in credit
quality, business conditions affecting key lending areas, collateral values,
loan volumes and internal credit reviews. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the corporation's allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the
corporation to record additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their
judgements about information available to them at the time of their
examination. While management believes that the assumptions and judgements
used in developing these estimates are accurate as of the date of the financial
statements, changes in any of the factors affecting the allowance for loan
losses could result in material changes in the corporation's financial position
and results of operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Certain statements in this discussion may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks
including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business
conditions, interest-rate fluctuations, competition within and without the
banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risks
inherent in making loans, including repayment risks and fluctuating collateral
values, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and
regulations applicable to the corporation. Although the corporation believes
that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business
and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or
achievements of the corporation will not differ materially from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements.
