Significant Accounting Policies and Interim Reporting The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") and it's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank (the "Bank") and Capital Bank Investment Services ("CBIS"). The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying footnotes in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the 2000 Capital Bank Corporation annual report. 2. Comprehensive Loss Income Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes to the Company's equity, with the exception of transactions with shareholders ("other comprehensive income"). The Company's only components of other comprehensive income relate to realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of the applicable income tax effect. The Company's comprehensive net income and information concerning the Company's other comprehensive income items for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are as shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. 3. Earnings Per Share The Bank is required to report both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For loss periods, diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS due to the fact that including common stock equivalents computed as a result of the 160,148 stock options outstanding in the calculation of diluted EPS would not be dilutive. For periods where the Bank has positive earnings, diluted EPS are presented due to the effect of those same options using the Treasury Stock method. The following tables provide a computation and reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. -6- 2001 2000 ---------------------------------- (In thousands except number of shares) (Unaudited) Three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000: Income available to stockholders - basic and diluted $ 937 $ 400 ========== ========== Shares used in the computation of earnings per share: Weighted average number of shares outstanding - basic 3,732,840 3,709,005 Incremental shares from assumed exercise of stock options 21,260 806 ---------- ---------- Weighted average number of shares outstanding - diluted 3,754,100 3,709,811 ========== ========== An aggregate of approximately 375,395 options were not included in the diluted calculation because the option exercise price exceeded the average fair market value of the associated shares. 4. Income Taxes Prior to the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the Corporation recorded minimal income tax expenses. This was due primarily to the generation of consolidated net operating losses during the start up phase and the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets until such time as the Company demonstrated the ability to utilize those deferred tax assets in the future. Since the Company has had eight successive quarters of profitability since March, 1999, management determined during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 that the Company will be able to utilize those assets in the future. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2001, the remaining valuation allowances were reversed and all reserved deferred tax assets were recorded on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, resulting in a one time net tax benefit of $356,000. In the future, the Company will be fully taxable. 5. New Accounting Pronouncements In April 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44") which clarifies the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 for certain transactions. The interpretation addresses many issues related to granting or modifying stock options including changes in accounting for modifications of awards (increased life, reduction of exercise price, etc.). It was effective July 1, 2000 but certain conclusions cover specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The effects of applying the interpretation are to be recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. FIN 44 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company. -7- Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------ The following discussion presents an overview of the unaudited financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 for Capital Bank Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank and Capital Bank Investment Services, Inc. This discussion and analysis is intended to provide pertinent information concerning financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and related footnotes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Information set forth below contains various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which statements represent the Company's judgment concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual operating results to differ materially. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", or "continue", or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. The Company cautions that such forward-looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause the Company's actual operating results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, as well as the factors set forth in the Company's periodic reports and other filings with the SEC. Overview Capital Bank Corporation is a financial holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina on August 10, 1998. The Company's primary function is to serve as the holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank and Capital Bank Investment Services, Inc. Capital Bank was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on May 30, 1997, and commenced operations as a state-chartered banking corporation on June 20, 1997. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System and has no subsidiaries. At a special meeting of shareholders held on March 26, 1999, the shareholders of Capital Bank approved the reorganization of Capital Bank into Capital Bank Corporation. In the holding company reorganization, the shareholders of Capital Bank each received a right to one share of Company stock for each share of Capital Bank stock that they owned. Prior to April 14, 2000, the Bank operated primarily throughout the central part of North Carolina with branch facilities located in Raleigh (1), Cary (2), Sanford (3), and Siler City (1). In April, 2000, the Bank acquired 5 branches from another area financial institution which was accounted for as a purchase transaction. The transaction included branches in the eastern part of North Carolina including Oxford (2), Warrenton (1), Seaboard (1), and Woodland (1). In June, 2000, the Bank opened a new branch and moved its corporate headquarters to an office on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, North Carolina. In January 2001, the Bank opened an additional branch in Raleigh bringing the total to 3 branches in Raleigh. On March 1, 2001, Capital Bank Corporation announced that it had formed Capital Bank Investment Services, Inc., an investment services subsidiary and agreed to acquire an independent branch brokerage office located in Raleigh, North Carolina. -8- CBIS will make available a full range of non-deposit investment services to individuals and corporations, including the customers of the Bank. These investment services will include full-service securities brokerage, asset management, financial planning and retirement services, such as 401(k) plans, all provided exclusively through a strategic alliance with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. ("Raymond James"). These services will be available in the offices of Capital Bank through registered investment representatives. As used in this report, the term "Company" refers to Capital Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries, Capital Bank and Capital Bank Investment Services, Inc., after the holding company reorganization. The Company has no operations other than those of its subsidiaries, Capital Bank and Capital Bank Investment Services, Inc. The Bank is a full-service community bank and the Investment Company is a full service brokerage firm. The Company's profitability depends principally upon the net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expenses of the Bank and the net commissions generated by CBIS. Financial Condition Total consolidated assets of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were $362.8 million compared to $343.6 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $19.2 million, or 5.6%. On March 31, 2001, loans were $261.7 million, up $19.5 million, or 8.0%, compared to December 31, 2000. Investment securities were $70.9 million and federal funds sold were $557,000 at March 31, 2001. During the three month period ended March 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, decreased by $9.6 million due primarily to the increase in loans, which is an outlay of cash, exceeding the increase in deposits by $9.6 million. Earning assets represented 93% of total assets on March 31, 2001. The allowance for loan losses on March 31, 2001 was $3.8 million and represented approximately 1.43% of total loans. Management believes that the amount of the allowance is adequate at this time. Deposits on March 31, 2001 were $289.0 million, an increase of $9.9 million or 3.6% from December 31, 2000. In addition to the increase in total deposits, there was a large shift in deposit mix as total Certificates of Deposit balances declined and demand deposit and interest bearing demand deposit account balances increased. During the three month period ended March 31, 2001, Certificates of Deposit decreased by $2.9 million, or 1.53% from $190.0 million to $187.1 million. At the same time, non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts increased $6.3 million, or 30.9%, from $20.3 million to $26.6 million and savings and interest bearing demand deposit accounts increased $6.5 million, or 9.5%, from $68.7 million to $75.5 million. The overall change in deposit mix was the result of a conscious effort on management's part to attract lower cost core deposits such as money market and interest bearing checking accounts along with an effort to reduce the overall rates paid on Certificates of Deposit while still remaining price competitive. Borrowings increased from $15.0 million at December 31, 2000 to $25.0 million at March 31, 2001, as the Company took advantage of the low rates currently being offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank and leveraged those additional borrowings into higher yielding investments. Total consolidated shareholders' equity was $36.0 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of $1.0 million from December 31, 2000, due primarily to net income. -9- Results of Operations For the three month period ended March 31, 2001, the Company reported net income of $937,000 or $.25 per share compared to $400,000 or $.11 per share for the same period in 2000. Net interest income in the first quarter of 2001 was $2.9 million, up 34.5% compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2000. The increase was primarily due to increased loan and deposit balances as compared to previous periods and the resulting net interest spread on those balances. The Company's net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets) was 3.51% for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, compared to 3.82% in the same period in 2000. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2001. This provision was used to build the allowance for loan losses to a prudent level to support the Company's loan growth. At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was 1.43% of total loans. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $404,000 and represented .15% of total loans on March 31, 2001. Non-interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, was $796,000 , compared to $377,000 for the same period in 2000. The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to increases in fees associated with deposit accounts relative to the overall increase in deposits and a large increase in fees associated with the mortgage loan origination department, which had a large increase in activity as the result of the lower interest rate environment. Mortgage loan origination fees increased from $167,000 in the first quarter of 2000 to $375,000 in the first quarter of 2001. Non-interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, was $2.8 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2000. Salaries and employee benefits, representing the largest expense category during the period, increased from $973,000 for the three month period in 2000 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2001. These increases reflect an increase in the number of personnel employed by the Company to maintain adequate staffing levels to meet customer needs and keep pace with its expected growth. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had 124 full-time equivalent employees compared to 77 for the same period in 2000. Occupancy costs, the second highest component of non-interest expenses, increased from $138,000 for the three month period in 2000 to $274,000 for the same period in 2001. This increase is primarily associated with the acquisition of 5 branches and the opening of two new branches in Wake County. Although management expects non-interest expense to increase on an absolute basis as the Company continues its growth, these expenses as a percentage of asset size and operating revenue are anticipated to decrease over time. At March 31, 2001, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1.9 million resulting from timing differences associated with the deductibility of certain expenses reflected on the financial statements. Due to prior net operating losses, a valuation allowance was established against deferred tax assets until such time as the Company demonstrated the ability to utilize those deferred tax assets in the future. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company was able to use deferred tax benefits and to record deferred tax assets only to the extent those amounts offset current taxes. During the period ended March 31, 2001, the remaining valuation allowances were reversed and all reserved deferred tax assets were recorded on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, resulting in a one-time net tax benefit of $356,000. In the future, the Company will be fully taxable. -10- Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquidity management involves planning to meet the Company's anticipated funding needs at a reasonable cost. Liquidity management is guided by policies formulated by the Company's senior management and the Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company had $18.8 million in its most liquid assets, cash and cash equivalents at quarter end. The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and capital. Core deposits (total deposits less certificates of deposits in the amount of $100,000 or more), one of the most stable sources of liquidity, together with equity capital funded 78% of total assets at March 31, 2001. In addition, the Company has the ability to take advantage of various other funding programs available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Shareholders' equity was $36.0 million or $9.85 per share at March 31, 2001. Management believes this level of shareholders' equity provides adequate capital to support the Company's growth for at least the next 12 months and to maintain a well-capitalized position. At March 31, 2001, Capital Bank had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.2%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.4%, and a leverage ratio of 9.0%. These ratios exceed the federal regulatory minimum requirements for a "well-capitalized" bank. Management's challenge is to use this capital to implement a prudent growth strategy of branch and bank acquisitions while growing the existing branch structure through quality service and responsiveness to its customers' needs, although there is no assurance that the Company will meet these objectives. Effects of Inflation Inflation can have a significant effect on the operating results of all industries. However, management believes the inflationary factors are not as critical to the banking industry as they are to other industries, due to the high concentration of relatively short-duration monetary assets in the banking industry. Inflation does, however, have some impact on the Company's growth, earnings and total assets, and on its need to closely monitor capital levels. Interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but it is difficult to assess the impact, since neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in the various inflation indices coincides with changes in interest rates. Inflation does impact the economic value of longer-term interest-bearing assets and liabilities, but the Company attempts to limit its long-term assets and liabilities. Recent Accounting Developments In April 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 ("FIN 44") which clarifies the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 for certain transactions. The interpretation addresses many issues related to granting or modifying stock options including changes in accounting for modifications of awards (increased life, reduction of exercise price, etc.). It was effective July 1, 2000 but certain conclusions cover specific events that occurred after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The effects of applying the interpretation are to be recognized on a prospective basis from July 1, 2000. FIN 44 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company. -11- Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - ------ ---------------------------------------------------------- The Company has not experienced any material change in its portfolio risk from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.
