CORPORTION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Weststar Financial Services Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company with one subsidiary, The Bank of Asheville, a state chartered commercial bank incorporated in North Carolina on October 29, 1997. Common shares of The Bank of Asheville were exchanged for common shares of the Company on April 29, 2000. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The accounting policies followed are set forth in Note 1 to the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders (Form 10-KSB) on file with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 2. Loans at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 classified by type are as follows: June 30, December 31, 2000 1999 ------------ ----------- Real Estate: Construction $ 8,853,209 $ 7,152,238 Mortgage 24,199,749 16,963,594 Commercial, financial and agricultural 13,831,650 9,926,255 Consumer 922,609 562,765 ------------ ----------- Subtotal 47,807,217 34,604,852 Net deferred loan origination fees (199,994) (144,128) ------------ ----------- Total $47,607,223 $34,460,724 =========== =========== 3. At December 31, 1999, the Company had a $543,000 valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for which, in the opinion of management, realization was not reasonably assured. Based upon the taxable income being generated in 2000 and management expectations of continued profitability, management now believes that realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not. The valuation allowance was reversed in the first quarter of 2000, thereby providing a deferred tax benefit. 4. In the normal course of business there are various commitments and contingent liabilities such as commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected on the financial statements. The unused portion of lines to extend credit were $9,800,142 and $5,536,642 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. 5. Basic earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding of 633,298 and 607,567 for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively and 633,298 and 607,566 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. There were no potentially dilutive securities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000. 8 6. The Company's capital at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 to risk weighted assets totaled 14.42% and 21.09%, respectively. Current federal regulations require that the Company maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 8%, with at least 4% being in the form of Tier 1 capital, as defined in the regulations. In addition, the Company must maintain a leverage ratio of 4%. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company's capital exceeded the current capital requirements. 7. The SEC has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), as amended on June 26, 2000, titled "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements". SAB 101 provides SEC guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the financial statements. The Company must implement any applicable provisions of SAB 101 no later than the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company has determined that implementation of the applicable provisions of SAB 101 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements and current disclosures. However, the SEC has recently indicated that it intends to issue further guidance with respect to adoption of specific issues addressed by SAB 101. Until such time as this additional guidance is issued, the Company is unable to assess the impact, if any, it may have on the Company's financial statements and current disclosures. 9 Weststar Financial Services Corporation & Subsidiary Management's Discussion and Analysis CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1999 During the period from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000 total assets increased $17,853,750 or 41%. This increase, reflected primarily in the cash and loan portfolios, was funded primarily by deposit growth. Securities, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing balances with other financial institutions at June 30, 2000 totaled $4,223,368 compared to $4,615,195 at December 31, 1999. Securities available for sale remained relatively flat when compared to December 31, 1999 as funds were allocated to the loan portfolio. During 1999, the Company gained access to the Federal Home Loan Bank system. This access grants the Company additional sources of funds for lending and liquidity. An initial equity investment of $58,100 was required to gain access to the Federal Home Loan Bank's resources. During the six month period of 2000, an additional investment of $87,500 was required by the Federal Home Loan Bank. Federal funds sold totaled $2,210,000. These funds are temporary investments, which provide liquidity and funding for longer-term investments and loans. The loan portfolio constituted 78% of the Company's total assets. Loans increased $13,146,499 from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000. The increase in loan demand resulted from market penetration into the small business, professional and consumer bases within the Company's market. Management places a strong emphasis on loan quality. At June 30, 2000, there were no loans that (i) represented or resulted from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects to materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii) represented material credits about which management was aware of any information which caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. The adequacy of the loan loss reserve is monitored by management through an internal loan review process. Among the factors determining the level of the reserve are loan growth, projected net charge-offs, the amount of non-performing and past due loans, and the current and anticipated economic condition. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were 1.44% and 1.53%, respectively, of gross loans outstanding. Management believes the loan loss reserve to be adequate. However, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or the circumstances of individual borrowers which may impact the borrowers' ability to repay their loans. Deposits increased $17,109,807 during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The growth was found in all categories of deposits. Transaction and savings accounts accounted for $13,016,268 or 76% of growth, while time deposits accounted for $4,093,539 or 24% of growth. The Company's capital at June 30, 2000 to risk weighted assets totaled 14.42%. Current federal regulations require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 8%, with at least 4% being in the form of Tier 1 capital, as defined in the regulations. In addition, the Company must maintain a leverage ratio of 4%. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's capital exceeded the current regulatory capital requirements. 10 The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. While in the process of organizing the Company, management reviewed all proposed systems for Year 2000 compliance. Systems that were either not compliant or substantially compliant were removed from further consideration. The Company has tested its software and does not believe it has any significant systems that require modification. The Company inquired of certain major customers and vendors regarding Year 2000 compliance; however, no assurances were given as to such compliance by its customers and vendors. The Company also developed contingency plans, where were based on actual testing experience and assessments of outside risk. No significant expenditures were incurred by the Company to develop or test the systems relative to Year 2000 issues. As of August 14, 2000, the Company has not encountered any unforeseen complications or issues not previously addressed in its assessment. If any unforeseen complications or issues arise, additional resources would be committed to complete the necessary conversions in the required time frame. However, since the Company has no reason to believe that it will need to use additional resources, no estimate as to their cost has been made. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999 Net interest income, the principal source of the Company's earnings, is the amount of income generated by earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) less the total interest cost of the funds obtained to carry them (primarily deposits and other borrowings). The volume, rate and mix of both earning assets and related funding sources determine net interest income. COMPARATIVE THREE MONTHS Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 totaled $736,453 compared to $357,448 in 1999. This increase is attributable to growth in net earning assets and improved net interest margins. The Company's net interest margin was approximately 5.7% and 4.4% for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance considered to be adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other risks. During the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, management allocated $100,000 and $129,825, respectively, to the loan loss reserve. Non-interest income for the June 30, 2000 and 1999 quarters totaled $113,910 and $101,897, respectively. The growth in service charge income increased commensurate with growth in transaction related deposit accounts. Non-interest expense totaled $593,908 compared to $455,797 in 1999. Non-interest expense increased primarily as a result of Company wide asset growth and the costs of servicing a larger loan and deposit base of customers. Additional increased costs related directly to insurance, supplies, audit, tax and legal fees as well as a sundry of other items. Income (loss) before income taxes totaled $156,455 and $(126,277) for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income taxes totaled $56,936 and none for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net income (loss) after income taxes totaled $99,519 and $(126,277) for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The other comprehensive income (loss), which is the change in shareholders' equity excluding transactions with shareholders', totaled $527 and ($2,210) in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 11 Comprehensive income totaled $100,046 compared to a loss of $128,487 for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. COMPARATIVE SIX MONTHS Net interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 totaled $1,322,171 compared to $624,722 in 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to growth in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's net interest margin was approximately 5.4% and 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance considered to be adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other risks. During the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, management allocated $157,200 and $204,285, respectively, to the loan loss reserve. The recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired in accordance with criteria set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board was $509,299 and $90,544 at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The average recorded balance of impaired loans during 2000 and 1999 was not significantly different from the balance June 30, 2000 and 1999. The related allowance for loan losses determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114 for impaired loans was $60,262 and $51,823 at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company recognized interest income from impaired loans of approximately $15,603 and $4,044, respectively. Non-interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 totaled $232,985 and $156,959, respectively. The growth in service charge income increased commiserate with growth in transaction related deposit accounts. Non-interest expense totaled $1,189,940 compared to $904,025 in 1999. Non-interest expense increased primarily as a result of additional staffing, premises and equipment purchases related to growth. Additional increased costs related directly to insurance, supplies, audit, tax and legal fees as well as a sundry of other items. The net operating income (loss) before a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and income tax benefit was $208,106 and ($326,629) for June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $473,676 primarily related to the release of a valuation allowance previously recorded against deferred tax assets. Net income after the tax benefit totaled $681,692. The other comprehensive income (loss), which is the change in shareholders' equity excluding transactions with shareholders', totaled $727 and $(3,676) in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net operating income (loss) after other comprehensive loss totaled $682,419 compared to $(401,631) in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 12 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 4 - OTHER INFORMATION None ITEM 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K A.)
