FCB/NC CAPITAL TRUST I Notes to financial statements (Dollars in thousands) Note 1. Description of Trust and Management Opinion The Trust FCB/NC Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), was created February 27, 1998 and funded on March 5, 1998. The Trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") of Raleigh, North Carolina. The Trust is a statutory business trust created under Delaware law, the result of the filing of a certificate of trust with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Trust is governed by a trust agreement between BancShares, as Depositor; Bankers Trust (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee; Bankers Trust, as Property Trustee; the Administrators (as named herein); and the holders, from time to time of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust. Two individuals have been selected by the holders of the Trust's Common Securities, to act as administrators with respect to The Trust (the "Administrators"). BancShares, as the holder of the Common Securities, has selected two individuals who are officers of BancShares to serve as the Administrators. The Trust exists for the following exclusive purposes: (i) to issue and sell the Trust Securities, (ii) to use the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Securities to acquire the Junior Subordinated Debentures and (iii) to engage in only those other activities necessary, convenient or incidental thereto (such as registering the transfer of Trust Securities). Accordingly, the Junior Subordinated Debentures are, and will be, the sole assets of the Issuer Trust, and payments under the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be the sole source of revenue of the Trust. Management Opinion The financial statements in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (none of which were other than normal accruals) necessary for fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the period presented have been included. Note 2. INCOME TAXES In the opinion of the Trust's tax counsel, under current law and assuming compliance with terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trust is classified as a grantor trust and not as an association, taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The preceding not withstanding, the Trust will file a consolidated federal tax return with its parent company, BancShares, beginning in 1998. It is BancShares' policy not to allocate income taxes to the Trust. NOTE 3. CAPITAL SECURITIES Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement for the Trust, the Trustees of the Trust have issued the Capital Securities and the Common Securities. The Capital Securities represent preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust and holders thereof are entitled to a preference in certain circumstances with respect to Distributions and amounts payable on redemption or liquidation over the common securities, as well as other benefits as described in the Trust Agreement. NOTE 4. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES The Junior Subordinated Debentures were issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, under which Bankers Trust Company is the Debenture Trustee. Concurrently with the issuance of the Capital Securities, the Trust invested the proceeds thereof, together with the consideration paid by BancShares for the Common Securities, in Junior Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") issued by BancShares. The Debentures bear interest, and have accrued interest from the date of original issuance, at a rate of 8.05%, payable in arrears semi-annually, beginning September 1, 1998. It is anticipated that, until the liquidation, if any, of the Trust, each Debenture will be registered in the name of the Trust and held by the Property Trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities. The amount of interest payable for any period less than a full interest period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period. The amount of interest payable for any full interest period will be computed by dividing the rate per annum by four. If any date on which the interest is payable on the Debentures is not a business day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day. Accrued interest that is not paid on the applicable interest date will bear additional interest on the amount thereof (to the extent permitted by law) at a rate equal to 8.05% per annum, compounded quarterly and computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period. The amount of additional interest payable for any interest period will be computed by dividing the rate per annum by two. The Debentures mature March 1, 2028. The Debentures are unsecured and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of BancShares. The Debentures are not subject to a sinking fund and are not eligible as collateral for any loan made by BancShares. Item - 2 Not Required FCB/NC CAPITAL TRUST I MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in thousands) The excess of revenues over expenses for the period of March 5, 1998 through September 30, 1998 was $214. During this period the Trust accrued $7,158 in interest revenue and $6,944 in interest expense. On September 1, 1998, the Trust made its first interest payment to holders of the Capital Securities. Other than the original funding of the Trust on March 5, there was no other financial activity. The Trust does not own any computers or equipment and all Year 2000 (Y2K) issues are being handled by BancShares and its subsidiaries. Therefore, there are no assessments of Y2K issues, costs or contingency plans for the Trust. Part II.
