NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company")
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake City Bank (the "Bank"). All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Also included is the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, LCB Investments Limited
("LCB Investments").
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring
in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ending June 30,
2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2004. The 2003 Lakeland Financial Corporation
Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these
statements.
NOTE 2. RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Trust Preferred Securities. On May 6, 2004, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Board") issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in
which it proposed to allow the continued inclusion of trust preferred
securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies, subject to
stricter standards. The Board is proposing to limit the aggregate amount of a
bank holding company's cumulative perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred
securities and other minority interests to 25% of the company's core capital
elements, net of goodwill. Current regulations do not require the deduction of
goodwill. The proposal also provides that amounts of qualifying trust
preferred securities and certain minority interests in excess of the 25% limit
may be included in tier 2 capital but would be limited, together with
subordinated debt and limited-life preferred stock, to 50% of tier 1 capital.
The proposal provides a three-year transition period for bank holding
companies to meet these quantitative limitations. At this time, it is not
possible to predict the impact that this proposal would have on the Company.
7
Bank Sales of Securities. On June 17, 2004, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") issued a Proposed Rule in which it described the
parameters under which banks may sell securities to their customers without
having to register as broker-dealers with the SEC in accordance with Title II
of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The proposal, which is designated as
Regulation B, clarifies, among other things: (i) the limitations on the amount
that unregistered bank employees may be compensated for making referrals in
connection with a third-party brokerage arrangement; (ii) the manner by which
banks may be compensated for effecting securities transactions for its
customers in a fiduciary capacity; and (iii) the extent to which banks may
engage in certain securities transactions as a custodian. At this time, it is
not possible to predict the impact that this proposal would have on the
Company and its subsidiaries.
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is based upon weighted-average common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share show the dilutive effect of
additional common shares issueable.
Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the
intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net
income at the time of grant, as all options granted had an exercise price
equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at
date of grant. No additional options were granted in the first six months of
2004. Had compensation cost for stock options been recorded in the financial
statements, net income and earnings per share would have been the pro forma
amounts indicated below. The pro forma effect may increase in the future if
more options are granted.

LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
and
RESULTS OF OPERATION
June 30, 2004
OVERVIEW
Lakeland Financial Corporation is the holding company for Lake City Bank.
The Company is headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana and operates 43 offices in 12
counties in northern Indiana. The Company earned $6.8 million for the first
six months of 2004, versus $7.3 million in the same period of 2003, a decrease
of 5.8%. Earnings were negatively impacted by a $1.0 million decrease in
noninterest income and an $808,000 decrease in net interest income. Offsetting
these negative impacts were decreases of $886,000 in the provision for loan
losses and $135,000 in noninterest expense. Basic earnings per share for the
first six months of 2004 were $1.17 per share versus $1.25 per share for the
first six months of 2003. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential
dilutive impact of stock options granted under the stock option plan. Diluted
earnings per share for the first six months of 2004 were $1.13 per share,
versus $1.22 per share for the first six months of 2003.
Net income for the second quarter of 2004 was $3.3 million, a decrease of
10.8% versus $3.7 million for the comparable period of 2003. Basic earnings
per share for the second quarter of 2004 were $0.57 per share, versus $0.65
per share for the second quarter of 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the
second quarter of 2004 were $0.55 per share, versus $0.63 per share for the
second quarter of 2003.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, net interest income totaled
$20.5 million, a decrease of 3.8%, or $808,000 versus the first six months of
2003. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, net interest income
totaled $10.3 million, a decrease of 4.3%, or $465,000 over the same period of
2003. Net interest income decreased in both the six-month and three-month
periods of 2004 versus the comparable periods of 2003, primarily due to
declines in the net interest margin. For the six-month period ended June 30,
2004, the net interest margin declined 36 basis points to 3.56%, versus the
comparable period of 2003. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, the
net interest margin declined 37 basis points to 3.52%, versus the comparable
period of 2003. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, average earning
assets increased by $69.6 million, or 6.2%, to $1.195 billion, and average
11
noninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $33.4 million, or 20.3%, to
$197.6 million, versus the same period in 2003. For the three-month period
ended June 30, 2004, average earning assets increased by $76.0 million, or
6.7%, to $1.213 billion, and average noninterest bearing demand deposits
increased by $37.1 million, or 21.7%, to $208.2 million.
Given the Company's mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities at June 30, 2004, the net interest margin could be expected to
increase in a rising rate environment. Management expects the net interest
margin to improve during the second half of 2004, as the effects of the recent
rate increase by the Federal Reserve Bank are felt.
During the first six months of 2004, total interest and dividend income
decreased by $2.7 million, or 8.7% to $28.3 million, versus $31.0 million
during the same six months of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004,
interest and dividend income decreased $1.4 million, or 9.0%, to $14.1
million, versus $15.5 million during the same quarter of 2003. The tax
equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased by 68 basis points to
4.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 versus the same period of
2003. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, the yield decreased 67
basis points to 4.8% from the yield for the three-month period ended June 30,
2003.
The average daily loan balances for the first six months of 2004
increased 7.9% to $904.3 million, over the average daily loan balances of
$838.1 million for the same period of 2003. During the same period, loan
interest income declined by $997,000, or 4.2%, to $23.0 million. The decrease
was the result of a 53 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on
loans to 5.1% from 5.7% in the first six months of 2003. The average daily
loan balances for the second quarter of 2004 increased $78.3 million, or 9.3%,
to $924.8 million, versus $846.5 million for the same period of 2003. During
the same period, loan interest income declined by $485,000, or 4.0%, to $11.7
million versus $12.1 million during the second quarter of 2003. The decrease
was the result of a 52 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on
loans, to 5.1%, versus 5.6% in the second quarter of 2003.
The average daily securities balances for the first six months of 2004
increased $8.5 million, or 3.1%, to $281.1 million, versus $272.6 million for
the same period of 2003. During the same periods, income from securities
declined by $1.6 million, or 28.1%, to $5.2 million versus $6.9 million during
the first six months of 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 126
basis point decline in the tax equivalent yields on securities, to 4.2% versus
5.4% in the first six months of 2003. The average daily securities balances
for the second quarter of 2004 increased $10.2 million, or 3.8%, to $280.2
million, versus $269.9 million for the same period of 2003. During the same
periods, income from securities declined by $880,000, or 26.4%, to $2.5
million versus $3.3 million during the second quarter of 2003. The decrease
was primarily the result of a 138 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent
yield on securities, to 4.0%, versus 5.3% in the second quarter of 2003.
12
Total interest expense decreased $1.9 million, or 19.3%, to $7.8 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, from $9.7 million for the
comparable period in 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 42 basis
point decrease in the Company's daily cost of funds to 1.31%, versus 1.73% for
the same period of 2003. Total interest expense decreased $937,000, or 19.6%,
to $3.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, from $4.8
million for the comparable period in 2003. The decrease was primarily the
result of a 41 basis point decrease in the Company's daily cost of funds to
1.28%, versus 1.69% for the same period of 2003. On an average daily basis,
total deposits (including demand deposits) increased $41.7 million, or 4.4%,
to $992.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, versus $951.2
million in the same period in 2003. The average daily deposit balances for the
second quarter of 2004 increased $48.9 million, or 5.1%, to $1.017 billion
from $968.1 million during the second quarter of 2003. On an average daily
basis, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $33.4 million, or 20.3%
and $37.1 million, or 21.7% for the six and three-month periods ended June 30,
2004, versus the same periods in 2003. When comparing the six months ended
June 30, 2004 with the same period of 2003, the average daily balance of time
deposits, which pay a higher rate of interest compared to demand deposit and
transaction accounts, decreased $79.3 million and the rate paid on such
accounts declined by 4 basis points versus the same period in 2003. In the
second quarter of 2004, the average daily balance of time deposits decreased
by $61.6 million and the rate paid on such accounts increased by three basis
points versus the same period in 2003. The increase was primarily the result
of a time deposit promotion that ran during the first quarter of 2004, as well
as the general increase in interest rates. Management believes that it is
critical to grow demand deposit accounts in both the dollar volume and total
number of accounts. These accounts typically provide the Company with
opportunities to expand into ancillary activities for both retail and
commercial customers. In addition, they represent low cost deposits.
Furthermore, the Company is focused on growing transaction money market
accounts which also provide a reasonable cost of funds and generally represent
relationship accounts. Average daily balances of borrowings increased $31.9
million, or 18.2%, to $207.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004
versus $175.5 million for the same period in 2003, and increased $31.0
million, or 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The rate on
borrowings decreased 88 basis points and 103 basis points, respectively, when
comparing the six and three month periods of 2004 with the same periods of
2003. On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits)
and purchased funds increased 6.5% and 7.0%, respectively, when comparing the
six and three month periods ended June 30, 2004 versus the same periods in
2003. The following tables set forth consolidated information regarding
average balances and rates.

Provision for Loan Losses
Based on management's review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, provisions for losses on loans of $498,000 and $246,000 were recorded
during the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004, versus
provisions of $1.4 million and $717,000 recorded during the same periods of
2003. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the periods ended June
30, 2004 reflected a number of factors, including the level of charge-offs,
management's overall view on current credit quality, the amount and status of
impaired loans and the amount and status of past due accruing loans (90 days
or more), as discussed in more detail below in the analysis relating to the
Company's financial condition.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income categories for the six and three-month periods ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003 are shown in the following table:

========== ========== ==========
Trust fees increased $287,000 and $136,000, respectively, in the
six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 versus the same periods
in 2003. The increases in 2004 were primarily in living trust, agency, IRA and
employee benefit plan fees, and were derived principally from the Company's
December 1, 2003 acquisition of Indiana Capital Management. Brokerage fees
increased $57,000 and $79,000 respectively, in the six-month and three-month
periods ended June 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003.
Credit card fee income increased by $255,000 and $115,000, respectively,
in the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 versus the same
periods in 2003. The increases were driven by higher volume activity in
interchange and merchant fee income.
Other income consists of normal recurring fee income such as mortgage
service fees, insurance income and fees, valuation of mortgage servicing
rights and safe deposit box rent, as well as other income that management
classifies as non-recurring. Other income increased $407,000 and $136,000,
respectively, in the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004
versus the same period of 2003. The primary drivers behind the increase in the
six-month period were a reduction of $240,000 in the non-cash impairment of
the Bank's mortgage servicing rights portfolio, and a $242,000 increase in
operating lease income. The primary drivers behind the increase in the
three-month period were a reduction of $258,000 in the non-cash impairment of
the Bank's mortgage servicing rights portfolio, and a $76,000 increase in
operating lease income.
The decrease in profits from the sale of mortgages reflected both the
timing of mortgage sales into the secondary market as well as a decrease in
the volume of mortgages sold during both the six-month and three-month periods
ended June 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003. During the first six
19
months of 2004, the Company sold $34.1 million in mortgages versus $84.1
million in the comparable period of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004,
the Company sold $20.8 million in mortgages versus $43.2 million in the second
quarter of 2003. The decreases in volume in 2004 were primarily the result of
rising mortgage rates during the second half of 2003 and the second quarter of
2004, which has resulted in decreased mortgage refinance activity and
decreased demand for home mortgages during 2004. Management does not expect
that the high level of mortgage sales gains experienced during 2003 will be
repeated during 2004.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense categories for the six and three-month periods ended
June 30, 2004, and 2003 are shown in the following table:

Other expense 2,229 2,104 5.9
---------- ---------- ----------
Total noninterest expense $ 9,195 $ 9,267 (0.8)%
========== ========== ==========
The slight increase in salaries and employee benefits in the first six
months of 2004 was primarily due to higher health care costs. Total employees
remained stable with 477 at June 30, 2004, compared to 471 at June 30, 2003.
20
The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense reflected lower property
taxes, as well as lower depreciation expense due to the fact that much of the
equipment purchased for significant technology upgrades in 1998 and 1999 and
to ensure no interruption from Year 2000 issues, is now fully depreciated.
Credit card interchange fees increased during the six-month and
three-month periods ended June 30, 2004, due to an increase in processing
costs charged by VISA and increased credit card usage by Bank customers during
those periods versus the same periods of 2003.
Other expense includes corporate and business development, data
processing fees, telecommunications, postage, and professional fees such as
legal, accounting, and directors' fees. Other expense increased slightly in
the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2004 versus the
comparable periods in 2003 primarily due to increases in corporate and
business development expense related to advertising.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased $388,000, or 10.4%, for the first six months
of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Income tax expense for the
second quarter of 2004 decreased $310,000, or 15.9%, compared to the same
period of 2003. The combined state franchise tax expense and the federal
income tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax expense
decreased to 32.8% during the first six months of 2004 compared to 33.9%
during the same period in 2003. It decreased to 32.9% for the second quarter
of 2004, versus 34.2% for the second quarter of 2003. The decreases were the
result of a higher percentage of income being derived from tax-exempt
securities and loans during the six-month and three-month periods ended June
30, 2004, versus the comparable periods in 2003.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Certain of the Company's accounting policies are important to the
portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management
to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate
to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these
policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts
and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect
these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the
economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that
its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan
losses, determining the fair value of securities and other financial
21
instruments and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. The Company's
critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in the Annual Report for
the year ended December 31, 2003 (incorporated by reference as part of the
Company's 10-K filing).
Total assets of the Company were $1.338 billion as of June 30, 2004, an
increase of $66.7 million, or 5.2%, when compared to $1.271 billion as of
December 31, 2003.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $9.5 million, or 16.5%, to
$66.9 million at June 30, 2004 from $57.4 million at December 31, 2003.
Total securities available-for-sale decreased by $3.5 million, or 1.2%,
to $277.9 million at June 30, 2004 from $281.4 million at December 31, 2003.
The decrease was a result of a number of transactions in the securities
portfolio. Paydowns totaling $34.7 million were received, and the amortization
of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts totaled $1.9 million.
Maturities and calls of securities totaled $873,000. Additionally, the fair
market value of the securities portfolio declined by $4.1 million. The market
value decrease was driven by the rising interest rate environment during the
second quarter of 2004. These decreases were offset by securities purchases
totaling $38.1 million. The investment portfolio is managed to limit the
Company's exposure to risk by containing mostly CMO's and other securities
which are either directly or indirectly backed by the federal government or a
local municipal government.
Real estate mortgages held-for-sale increased by $2.4 million, or 71.0%,
to $5.9 million at June 30, 2004 from $3.4 million at December 31, 2003. The
balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability
depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of
loan sales into the secondary market. During the six months ended June 30,
2004, $36.6 million in real estate mortgages were originated for sale and
$34.1 million in mortgages were sold.
Total loans, excluding real estate mortgages held-for-sale, increased by
$58.7 million, or 6.7%, to $929.6 million at June 30, 2004 from $870.9 million
at December 31, 2003. The mix of loan types within the Company's portfolio was
unchanged, reflecting 78% commercial, 5% real estate and 17% consumer loans at
both June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial
real estate loans, most of which are extended to small or medium-sized
businesses. Commercial loans represent higher dollar loans to fewer customers
and therefore higher credit risk. Pricing is adjusted to manage the higher
credit risk associated with these types of loans. The majority of fixed rate
mortgage loans, which represent increased interest rate risk, are sold in the
secondary market, as well as some variable rate mortgage loans. The remainder
of the variable rate mortgage loans and a small number of fixed rate mortgage
loans are retained. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a
level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio.
22
However, as a result of the slow economic recovery, certain borrowers may
experience difficulty and the level of non-performing loans, charge-offs, and
delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for
loan losses.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management
believes that the uncollectibility of the principal is confirmed. Subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount
that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit
losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation as
well as other probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified
loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of
general allowance is determined based on the application of loss percentages
to graded loans by categories. Federal regulations require insured
institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations
provide for three categories of classified loans - substandard, doubtful and
loss. The regulations also contain a special mention category. Special mention
is defined as loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a
sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit
deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention.
Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to
establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof
is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specified
allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset
classified loss, or charge off such amount. At June 30, 2004, on the basis of
management's review of the loan portfolio, the Company had $30.2 million of
assets classified special mention, $24.7 million classified as substandard,
$1.5 million classified as doubtful and $0 classified as loss as compared to
$41.9 million, $27.7 million, $869,000 and $0 at December 31, 2003.
Allowance estimates are developed by management in consultation with
regulatory authorities, taking into account actual loss experience, and are
adjusted for current economic conditions. Allowance estimates are considered a
prudent measurement of the risk in the Company's loan portfolio and are
applied to individual loans based on loan type. In accordance with FASB
Statements 5 and 114, the allowance is provided for losses that have been
incurred as of the balance sheet date and is based on past events and current
economic conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on
specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or
expected changes in economic conditions. The following table summarizes the
loan loss reserve and nonperforming assets at June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.

Total nonperforming assets $ 4,737 $ 8,189
============== ==============
Total impaired loans increased by $1.1 million to $4.1 million at June
30, 2004 from $3.0 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in the impaired
loans category resulted primarily from the addition of two commercial credits
and one mortgage loan to the impaired category. The impaired loan total
included $1.3 million in nonaccrual loans. A loan is impaired when full
payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated
in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential
mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for
other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be
allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated
future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of
collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
Total deposits increased by $95.9 million, or 10.4%, to $1.022 billion at
June 30, 2004 from $926.4 million at December 31, 2003. The increase resulted
from increases of $75.1 million in certificates of deposit, $24.7 million in
demand deposits, $5.9 million in savings accounts and $317,000 in NOW
accounts. Offsetting these increases were declines of $9.7 million in money
market accounts and $397,000 in Investors' Money Market accounts.
Total short-term borrowings decreased by $11.1 million, or 6.0%, to
$173.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $184.8 million at December 31, 2003. The
decrease resulted primarily from declines of $12.6 million in securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and $12.0 million in federal funds purchased.
24
Offsetting these decreases were increases of $15.0 million in other
borrowings, primarily short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis.
Long-term borrowings decreased by $20.0 million, or 66.6%, to $10.0
million at June 30, 2004 from $30.0 million at December 31, 2003. Long-term
borrowings are primarily long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis.
Total stockholders' equity increased by $2.9 million, or 3.2%, to $92.9
million at June 30, 2004 from $90.0 million at December 31, 2003. Net income
of $6.8 million, minus the decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive
income of $2.5 million, less dividends of $2.4 million, plus $1.1 million for
stock issued through options exercised and stock option expense, minus $88,000
for the cost of treasury stock purchased, comprised most of this increase.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's risk based capital
regulations require that all banking organizations maintain an 8.0% total risk
based capital ratio. The FDIC has also established definitions of "well
capitalized" as a 5.0% Tier I leverage capital ratio, a 6.0% Tier I risk based
capital ratio and a 10.0% total risk based capital ratio. All of the Company's
ratios continue to be above "well capitalized" levels. As of June 30, 2004,
the Company's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio
and total risk based capital ratio were 9.1%, 11.6% and 12.6%, respectively.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk represents the Company's primary market risk exposure.
The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange
risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments
and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The board of directors annually
reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy
was last reviewed and approved in May 2004. The policy sets guidelines for
balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the
impact that interest rate changes could have on net income, but does not
necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company,
through its Asset/Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by
monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios
and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk
parameters by attempting to generate the type of loans, investments, and
deposits that currently fit the Company's needs, as determined by the
Asset/Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net
interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the
next 12 months. If the change in net interest income is less than 3% of
primary capital, the balance sheet structure is considered to be within
acceptable risk levels. At June 30, 2004, the Company's potential pretax
25
exposure was within the Company's policy limit, and not significantly
different from December 31, 2003.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) as of June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Company's
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls.

may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other
things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of the Company's
assets.
26
o The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war
or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such
threats and attacks.
o The effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws,
regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, insurance and
monetary and financial matters.
o The effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of
changes in the rate of prepayments of the Company's assets) and the
policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
o The ability of the Company to compete with other financial institutions
as effectively as the Company currently intends due to increases in
competitive pressures in the financial services sector.
o The inability of the Company to obtain new customers and to retain
existing customers.
o The timely development and acceptance of products and services, including
products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such
as the Internet.

expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to
the Company and its customers.

electronic systems.

difficulty that the Company may experience in replacing key executives
and employees in an effective manner.

affects the Company's business adversely.
o Business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses, which
may be more difficult or expensive than expected.
o The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.
o Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state
and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board.
27
o The ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the
foregoing as well as anticipated.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its business,
including other factors that could materially affect the Company's financial
results, is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
