Like all Americans, we at Coastal Financial Corporation have been deeply saddened by the tragic events of September 11th. At this time of national sorrow, and in attempting to grasp the enormity of the needs faced by so many of those directly impacted by this tragedy, we decided to reduce our planned expenditure for the production of this document and to use those savings to make a challenge pledge, through the Waccamaw Community Foundation, to the September 11th Fund. This fund was created by the United Way and the New York Community Trust to help the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks by mobilizing financial resources to respond to the pressing needs of the victims and their families and all those affected by this tragedy. Our pledge was to match contributions to the September 11th Fund, made through the Waccamaw Community Foundation, up to a maximum of $10,000. Thanks to our funding and the generous financial donations from concerned local citizens, the Waccamaw Community Foundation has made a $23,250 contribution to assist the victims, their families and others affected by the September 11th tragedy. Well before the events of September 11th changed many of the elements of life as we have come to know it, our 2001 operations had, far more effectively than in any prior year, focused our organizational initiatives on the Transformational element of our Vision 2005 Plan. This critical part of our strategic plan is the essential ingredient for ensuring that our culture continues to evolve systemically toward the attainment of Our Basic Corporate Objective Of Maximizing The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment by making continual progress toward Our Long-Term Goal Of Being The Best Financial Services Company In Our Marketplace. Our overriding commitment to our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE operating philosophy and our Vision 2005 Plan has again produced outstanding results for our Shareholders and we are absolutely convinced that this approach will help to insure that our best years are yet to come.

While the significant changes which have taken place globally have shaken our nation and the world, the Transformation of Coastal Financial Corporation was an outgrowth of our 1998 strategic planning initiative. The workproduct of this effort, our Vision 2005 Plan, has provided a solid foundation for ensuring that our culture continues to evolve systemically toward the attainment of our Basic Corporate Objective Of Maximizing The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment by making continual progress toward Our Long-Term Goal Of Being The Best Financial Services Company In our Marketplace. With the creation of our Vision 2005 Plan, we have articulated a view of Coastal Financial Corporation as we envision it through the year 2005. And, through that exercise, we have determined that the realization of that vision can only be achieved by a very successful Transformation of Coastal Financial Corporation to a Sales Organization. Our definition of a Sales Organization is worlds away from the stereotypical image of high-pressure "forced" selling. Rather, we use the term Sales Organization to describe our vision of Coastal Financial Corporation as an organization which has such strong relationships with both its internal and external Customers that its financial services offerings are always in alignment with its Mission of being totally committed to Exceeding the Expectations of its Customer. This concept envisions the attraction, development and retention of the very best people, who are supported by the very best resources and aligned with the goal of attracting, developing and retaining exceptionally profitable Customer relationships. The creation of this Transformational element of our Vision 2005 Plan resulted from our firm belief that, with the rapid changes occurring throughout the financial services industry, it was imprudent to attempt to envision its evolution by the use of conventional wisdom. The logic which followed that premise led us to conclude that the only course of action which could ensure that our best days were always before us, was to allocate significant resources toward initiatives which were designed to ensure a very successful Transformation of Coastal Financial Corporation to a Sales Organization. The strong foundation and lever for this paradigm shifting strategic planning initiative was our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy. Through the establishment of our principles and values, we were able to think creatively, and in varying degrees of abstraction, about the possibilities for Transforming Coastal Financial Corporation into an organization which would be continually focused on achieving a better understanding of the present and future financial services needs of our Customers. The team that created this roadmap to the future in 1998 has since guided this Company through three more exceptional years of Transformation and achievement, the most current of which yielded another year of excellent financial results. Coastal Financial Corporation's net income for 2001 totaled $9.3 million, compared to $8.5 million in 2000. On a fully diluted basis, these results equated to a 13.3% increase, from $0.75 per share in 2000 to $0.85 per share in 2001. The Transformation in our balance sheet during 2001 was quite obvious, with deposits derived from the residents and businesses of the Communities we serve increasing by approximately $150 million, or 41.6%, and commercial loan portfolio growth of 6.3%. Offsetting that significant commercial loan portfolio growth was a decline in our residential loan portfolio caused by the substantial decrease in long-term interest rates. The net result was a negligible decrease in total assets at the close of this year. Despite the very challenging business environment resulting from the varying and complex dynamics of this year, asset quality remained excellent compared to both industry standards and historical norms. In addition to our excellent operating results, the market price of Coastal Financial's common stock, at September 30, 2001, was 90.5% higher than the market price at September 30, 2000. Equally as impressive is the fact that, since 1990, our operating earnings have increased at a compound annualized rate in excess of 17.9%. One of the best indicators of performance is Return On Shareholders' Equity, and this measure for 2001 was, again, outstanding. Our Return On Average Shareholders' Equity measure of 17.75% ranks us among the top performing financial services companies in America. In addition to our own sense of satisfaction with these financial results, during 2001, we continued to receive significant public recognition of our progress toward the attainment of our Basic Corporate Objective Of Maximizing The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment and Our Long-Term Goal Of Being The Best Financial Services Company In Our Marketplace. Two very good examples follow: o Coastal Financial Corporation received national attention in the July 2001 edition of U.S. Banker Magazine. This publication featured a listing of the Community Banking companies in the United States with assets between $673 million and $1.12 billion, ranked in order, based upon return on equity and growth in per-share earnings over the past five years. Coastal Financial placed 1st in the Carolinas and 5th nationally in these measures. o Coastal Federal, for the fourth consecutive year, placed 1st in voting by the readers of the (Myrtle Beach) SUN NEWS in the Financial Institutions category of the SUN NEWS Best Of The Beach Competition for 2001. We are extremely proud of these forms of recognition because each, in its own way, represents tangible evidence that our Customers are well-satisfied with our focus on Exceeding Their Expectations in the presentation, sale and delivery of financial services. 4 - ------------------------------------------------------------ 2001 OUR BEST YEAR This was indeed a year of significant Transformation for Coastal Financial Corporation. Our never-ending quest to better understand and exceed the Expectations of our Associates, our Customers and our Communities continues to pay significant dividends and has enabled the financial performance during fiscal 2001 to, again, meet our high expectations and well positions us to aggressively pursue future opportunities.

In considering whether we have made real progress toward the attainment of Our Basic Corporate Objective Of Maximizing The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment during this period, it is both illustrative and revealing to compare the share price performance of Coastal Financial Corporation to the share price performance of other publicly traded financial services companies operating within our marketplace, and to the equity markets as a whole. In the following graphs, we have compared the share price performance of Coastal Financial Corporation to the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Indices, and to (TSFG) The South Financial Group, the parent company of Carolina First Bank, (WB) Wachovia Corporation, the parent company of Wachovia and First Union banks, which have recently been merged, (SNV) Synovus Financial Corporation, the parent company of NBSC, (BBT) BB&T Corporation, the parent company of BB&T, (BAC) Bank of America Corporation, the parent company of Bank of America, (FFCH) First Financial Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association and First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Charleston, and (COOP) Cooperative Bankshares, Inc., the parent company of Cooperative Bank. 11 Year Peer Group Price Performance As demonstrated by these graphic representations, which take a look back over our history as a publicly owned company, the price of Coastal Financial Corporation's shares has significantly outperformed the price of the shares of the other publicly traded banks in our marketplace, as well as the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Indices. These historical results may not be indicative of future stock price performance. 2001 really was quite a year. Our operating and share price performance results clearly put Coastal Financial among the top performing financial services companies in the nation, our business prospered and our Associates flourished, growing both personally and professionally as never before. But, as good as these results are, it's always the future that we are most interested in, and it always leads to the question we're most often asked: "Can we keep it up?" We continue to believe the answer is a resounding "Yes," as long as we remain focused on our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy and the goals established under the Transformational element of our Vision 2005 Plan. That's what really sets us apart from the competition. CFCP Relative Price Performance 6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ A LOOK BACK Two of my favorite adages, the first by an anonymous author, "What lies behind us is nothing compared to what lies within us and ahead of us," and the second by Steven R. Covey, "If we live out of our memory, we're tied to the past and to that which is finite. When we live out of our imagination, we're tied to that which is infinite," each, in its own way, describes the Transformation process. . . the way we, as individuals, perceive, understand and interpret the surrounding world and how we adapt and respond to the challenges we face. Our culture, as a learning organization, is founded on the concept of embracing change as the essential ingredient for growth and progress by establishing as unchanging, those principles and values which are the cornerstones of our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy. Consequently, we have learned that, if we want to achieve significant results, we must first Transform the way we think so as to understand that we, as individuals, are not in control, but rather, that principles are in control. A significant part of our Vision 2005 Plan relates to initiatives which are designed to teach our Leadership Group and Associates those principles which are essential in achieving the objectives of our Shareholders' by better understanding and serving the financial needs of our Customers. The paradigm shift resulting from this Transformation has enabled our Associates to grow, both personally and professionally, toward the attainment of their full potential and further leveraged our ever-increasing ability to work together as a team toward Exceeding The Expectations Of Our Customers. We believe this approach is both fundamental and essential to assuring that our best days are yet to come. This formula for success is clearly defined in Our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy, further developed and articulated through our Vision 2005 Plan and taught through course offerings at Coastal Federal University. This well focused and comprehensive curriculum teaches our Leaders that it all begins with our commitment to building durable and profitable relationships with our Associates, our Customers, and our Communities, and ends with added value for all of our stakeholders. Over the three years which have passed since this exceptional team created our Vision 2005 Plan, many good things have happened in preparing our Company for the future. Some of the 2001 initiatives, aimed at increasing the long-term value of the Company by maximizing our ability to capitalize on opportunities in the years ahead, were: o COASTAL FEDERAL UNIVERSITY The further expansion of Coastal Federal University ensures that we continue to advance our philosophy of becoming a learning organization. The Mission of Coastal Federal University is to foster a learning environment, centered around Coastal Financial Corporation's QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy. And, during 2001, we have continued to invest in that Mission with the addition of very qualified faculty members, bringing the total number of full-time educators to three with three part time assistant instructors. Also, several "Degree of Excellence" and other "on campus" and outsourced offerings have been added to our curriculum. With the support of strong Leadership example and our Letters of Expectation Performance Alignment system, our educational offerings through Coastal Federal University have significantly increased our individual and organizational production capability and aided immeasurably in the creation of an empowered culture with a true competitive distinction. o 2002 TACTICAL PLAN The completion of an in-depth assessment of our progress to-date toward the goals established in our Vision 2005 Plan provided a comprehensive review of the Philosophical, Transformational, Linear and Financial elements of our Vision 2005 Plan. The product of this endeavor has provided us with the foundational information and diagnostics necessary for the development of our 2002-2003 Tactical Planning initiatives. A similar review process will be undertaken prior to the 2004-2005 Planning process. o COMMUNITY Our recent partnership with the Waccamaw Community Foundation in sponsoring a vehicle for local residents to make financial contributions to the September 11th Fund for the victims of the September 11th tragedy and their families, together with our commitment to the approximately 300 other charitable causes which we support annually with our time, talent and resources, reflects our strong belief that Community members have a basic responsibility to take care of their Communities and each other. 7 A LOOK BACK -------------------------------------------------------------------- o DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS Significant progress toward the objectives established in the Linear Element of our Vision 2005 Plan was evidenced by the continued expansion of our financial services franchise. During 2001, we established our second grocery store banking facility in the Socastee BI-LO in Socastee, South Carolina, expanded our Wilmington, North Carolina Lending Office into a full service banking facility, and established new full service banking facilities in Southport, North Carolina and downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Another important component of our distribution channel expansion efforts occurred with the introduction of our completely redesigned website portal offering. Accessing www.coastalfederal.com now provides Customers with the tools and flexibility to personalize Community-centric sources of information for not only the complete array of financial services provided through Coastal Financial Corporation, but also virtually any level of information about their Community or the world. In addition, though special links and the addition of on-line product sign-up webpages, we have made it easier for our Customers to access and acquire specific banking services, such as mortgage loans, credit card offerings, investment services and Business Cash Management services. These activities are consistent with our efforts to expand our presence and market awareness along the South Carolina coast and build a significant presence in coastal North Carolina. o COASTAL INVESTOR SERVICES / COASTAL FEDERAL The continued synergy resulting from the effective execution of our Vision 2005 Plan initiatives relating to the better alignment of the activities of Coastal Investor Services and Coastal Federal has resulted in the improvement of Coastal Investor Services national ranking from #21 in 1999, to #8 in 2000, to #3 in 2001 out of over 600 branch offices in the Raymond James Financial Services system. This progress by Coastal Investor Services has produced a significant increase in the level of assets under management during this period and enabled Coastal Investor Services to realize a 103.8% increase in net income from 2000 to 2001. And, as previously noted, Coastal Financial Corporation received national attention in the July 2001 edition of U.S. Banker Magazine. This publication featured a listing of the Community Banking companies in the United States with assets between $673 million and $1.12 billion, ranked in order, based upon return on equity and growth in per-share earnings over the past five years. Coastal Financial placed 1st in the Carolinas and 5th nationally in these measures. In the July 2000 edition of U.S. Banker Magazine, Coastal Financial was ranked #1 in the Carolinas and #16 in the nation in these same measures over the past three years. The continuing success of Coastal Financial in offering the businesses and residents of the Communities we serve a comprehensive financial planning service and full array of financial services, which are easily accessed through conveniently located financial Sales Centers, and our Internet Banking channel, is the result of our never-ending focus on Our Long-Term Goal of Being the Best Financial Services Company in Our Marketplace. o ALIGNMENT Progress toward the goals established in the Transformational element of our Vision 2005 Plan allowed us to identify many new ways to better enable our concept of operating as a series of Community banks and resulted in numerous operational efficiencies and improvements during 2001. We believe these enhancements to our processes and systems have provided new clarity, focus and direction for the entire Company and will provide even greater support for our commitment to local decision-making and more responsive, reliable and empathetic Customer service. This progress is directly linked to the commitment of our entire organization to the concept of "Empowerment," as the key to a great future, by enabling all of our Associates to Exceed the Expectations of our Customers at each opportunity. These initiatives well reflect our culture of viewing change and constant improvement as essential to the achievement of our long-term objectives. 8 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- LOOKING AHEAD Looking ahead, we see a future filled with even more opportunity than the past and firmly believe that we can achieve the goals established in our Vision 2005 Plan, if we maintain our values and continually Transform ourselves and our business. Our pledge to our Shareholders is to do exactly that . . . to do everything in our power to remain focused on our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE Operating Philosophy as the Guiding Vision and unchanging value system . . . and to view change and constant improvement as the catalysts for reaching our full potential. We have the best team imaginable. I just can't thank our Board Of Directors, Leadership Group Members and Associates enough for all they do for all of us on a daily basis. Our 2001 results speak volumes about their commitment to Our Basic Corporate Objective Of Maximizing The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment by being focused on Our Long-Term Goal Of Being The Best Financial Services Company In Our Marketplace. Both revenue and earnings reached record levels in 2000 and 2001. In fact, in these two years alone, our net income has grown over 20%. In the last five years, our net income has increased by more than 150%. Since becoming a publicly owned Company in 1990, we have roughly doubled our earnings every 4 years. And we still have significant potential for further gains. Everyone in the Coastal Financial family is very proud of these achievements and looks forward to even greater accomplishments in the years ahead. And while we make no attempt to predict the future, we take great comfort in the fact that we have dedicated Associates, great markets, excellent products, tremendous momentum and unshakable confidence in our ability, as a team, to continue to Transform our organization toward building even stronger relationships with our Customers and our Communities and to continue to achieve superior returns for our Shareholders in the future. All of us at Coastal Financial Corporation appreciate your continued encouragement, loyalty and support, and look to the future with great enthusiasm and excitement. Michael C. Gerald President and Chief Executive Officer 9 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors Coastal Financial Corporation Myrtle Beach, South Carolina We have audited the consolidated statements of financial condition of Coastal Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2000 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. In addition, they affect the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. (a) Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coastal Financial Corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Coastal Federal Mortgage, Inc., Coastal Investor Services, Inc. and Coastal Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Coastal Federal Holding Company (and Coastal Federal Holding Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Coastal Real Estate Investment Corporation) and Coastal Mortgage Bankers and Realty Co., Inc. (and Coastal Mortgage Bankers and Realty Co. Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shady Forest Development Corporation, Sherwood Development Corporation, Ridge Development Corporation, 501 Development Corporation and North Beach Investments, Inc.). In consolidation, all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Coastal Financial Corporation is a unitary thrift holding company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from banks, short-term interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the carrying amount of such instruments is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. (c) Investment and Mortgage-backed Securities Investment and mortgage-backed securities are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Investments are classified into three categories as follows: (1) Held to Maturity - debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, which are reported at amortized cost; (2) Trading - debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings and (3) Available for Sale - debt and equity securities that may be sold under certain conditions, which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of income taxes. The Company determines investment and mortgage-backed securities classification at the time of purchase. Premiums and discounts on securities are accreted or amortized as an adjustment to income over the estimated life of the security using a method which approximates a level yield. Unrealized losses on securities, reflecting a decline in value judged by the Company to be other than temporary, are charged to income in the consolidated statements of operations. The cost basis of securities sold is determined by specific identification. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. (d) Allowance for Loan Losses The Company provides for loan losses on the allowance method. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries are credited to the allowance. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to operations based on various factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating losses. Such factors considered by management include the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, loss experience, delinquency trends, and local and regional economic conditions. Management evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject to adjustment upon their examination. 15 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -Continued (d) Allowance for Loan Losses -Continued The Company follows SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," for determining impairment on loans. SFAS No. 114 requires that nonhomogenous impaired loans and certain restructured loans be measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A specific reserve is set up for each impaired loan. Accrual of interest income on loans (including impaired loans) is suspended when in management's judgment, doubt exists as to the collectibility of principal and interest. If amounts are received on loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, a determination is made as to whether payments received should be recorded as a reduction of the principal balance or as interest income depending on management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal. The loan is returned to accrual status when, in management's judgment, the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make periodic interest and principal payments on a timely basis. (e) Loans Receivable Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations. At September 30, 2000 and 2001, the Company had approximately $10.2 million and $16.3 million in mortgage loans held for sale, respectively. (f) Real Estate Owned Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is initially recorded at the lower of cost or net fair value (less estimated costs to sell). If cost exceeds net fair value, the asset is written down to net fair value with the difference being charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, such assets are carried at the lower of cost or net fair value with any additional write downs being charged as real estate losses. (g) Office Properties and Equipment Office properties and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Estimated lives range up to thirty years for buildings and improvements and up to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements which extend the lives of the respective assets are capitalized. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. (h) Uncollected Interest The Company maintains an allowance for the loss of uncollected interest primarily on loans which are ninety days or more past due. This allowance is reviewed periodically and necessary adjustments, if any, are included in the determination of current interest income. (i) Loan Fees and Discounts The net of origination fees received and direct costs incurred in the origination of loans are deferred and amortized to interest income over the contractual life of the loans adjusted for actual principal repayments using a method approximating a level yield. (j) Income Taxes Deferred taxes are provided for differences in the financial reporting basis for assets and liabilities as compared to their tax bases. A current tax liability or asset is established for taxes presently payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset is established for future taxable (deductible) items. 16 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -Continued (k) Loan Sales Gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized when control has been surrendered over these assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The resulting servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value. (l) Drafts Outstanding The Company invests all excess funds on deposit at other banks (including amounts on deposit for payment of outstanding disbursement checks) on a daily basis in an overnight interest-bearing account. Accordingly, outstanding checks are reported as a liability. (m) Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase The Company maintains collateral for certain customers who wish to deposit amounts greater than $100,000. These agreements function similarly to a certificate of deposit in that the agreement is for a fixed length of time at a fixed interest rate. However, these deposits are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), but are collateralized by an interest in the pledged securities. The Company has classified these borrowings separately from deposits. (n) Stock Based Compensation The Company follows the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". The statement permits the Company to continue accounting for stock based compensation as set forth in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", provided the Company discloses the proforma effect on net income and earnings per share of adopting the full provisions of SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, the Company continues to account for stock based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and has provided the required proforma disclosures. (o) Comprehensive Income SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and net unrealized gains (losses) on securities and is presented in the statements of stockholders' equity and comprehensive income. (p) Disclosures Regarding Segments SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" establishes standards for the way that public businesses report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 in fiscal 1999 without any impact on its consolidated financial statements. (q) Derivative Instruments and Hedging SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133" establishes comprehensive accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective October 1, 2000 with no material impact on its financial statements. (r) Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1999 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation. Such reclassifications did not change net income or equity as previously reported. 17 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued (2) INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available for sale at September 30, 2000 is summarized as follows: 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- (In thousands) U.S. Government and agency obligations: Due after one but within five years ........................ $1,310 4 (1) 1,313 Due after five years ....................................... 7,359 32 (156) 7,235 ------ ---- ------ ----- $8,669 36 (157) 8,548 ====== ==== ====== ====== The amortized cost and market value of investment securities available for sale at September 30, 2001 is summarized as follows: 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ---- ----- ------ ----- (In thousands) U.S. Government and agency obligations: Due after one but within five years ....................... $ -- -- -- -- Due after five years ...................................... 1,893 107 -- 2,000 ------ ---- ------ ----- $1,893 107 -- 2,000 ====== ==== ====== ====== The Company had gross realized gains of $73,000 and there were no gross realized losses for the year ended September 30, 1999.

For the year ended September 30, 2001, gross realized gains were $17,000 and gross realized losses were $73,000.

As disclosed in note 8, certain mortgage loans are pledged to secure advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta. The Bank offers mortgage and consumer loans to its directors, and Associates for the financing of their personal residences and for other personal purposes. The Bank also offers commercial loans to companies affiliated with directors. These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and, in management's opinion, are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and companies. Management does not believe these loans involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. At September 30, 2001, such loans were current with respect to their payment terms.

The Bank has adopted the policy of pledging excess collateral to facilitate future advances. At September 30, 2001, the excess first mortgage loan collateral pledged to the FHLB will support additional borrowings of approximately $63.9 million. At September 30, 2001, included in the one, two and four years maturities were $109.0 million subject to call provisions. Call provisions are more likely to be exercised by the FHLB when rates rise. During fiscal 2001, the Company prepaid approximately $37.7 million of advances from FHLB and incurred gross penalties of approximately $1.1 million which was recorded as an extraordinary loss in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value of the FHLB advances at September 30, 2000 and 2001 is $224.4 million and $137.2 million.

The valuation allowance relates to the state loss carryforwards which may not be ultimately realized to reduce taxes of the Company. A portion of the change in the net deferred tax asset relates to unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. A current period deferred tax expense of $3.1 million for the unrealized gains on securities available for sale has been recorded directly to stockholders' equity. The balance of the change in the deferred tax liability results from the current period deferred tax expense of $187,000. Income taxes of the Company attributable to income before extraordinary items differ from the amounts computed by applying the Federal income tax rate of 34% for the years ended September 30 to earnings before income taxes as follows: 1999 2000 2001 ---- ---- ---- (In thousands) Computed federal income taxes ................................... $ 4,116 4,473 5,338 State tax, net of federal benefit ............................... 287 218 197 Other, net ...................................................... (13) 7 153 ------- ------- ------- Total income tax expense ........................................ $ 4,390 4,698 5,688 ======= ======= ======= The Bank has been permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct an annual addition to the tax reserve for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to certain limitations. This addition may differ significantly from the bad debt expense for financial reporting purposes and was based on either 8% of taxable income (the "Percentage of Taxable Income Method") or actual loan loss experience (the "Experience Method") for the years prior to 1997. As a result of recent tax legislation, the Bank will be required to recapture tax bad debt reserves in excess of pre-1988 based year amounts over a period of approximately six to eight years. In addition, for the period ending September 30, 1997, the Bank was required to change its overall tax method of accounting for bad debts to the experience method. Retained earnings at September 30, 2001 includes approximately $5.2 million representing pre-1988 tax bad debt base year reserve amounts for which no deferred income tax liability has been provided since these reserves are not expected to reverse until indefinite future periods and may never reverse. Circumstances that would require an accrual of a portion or all of this unrecorded tax liability are a reduction in qualifying loan levels relative to the end of 1987, failure to meet the tax definition of a savings bank, dividend payments in excess of current year or accumulated tax earnings and profits, or other distributions in dissolution, liquidation or redemption of the Bank's stock. 24 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued (11) Benefit Plans The Company participates in a multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all Associates.

Plan assets exceeded the present value of accumulated plan benefits at June 30, 2001, the latest actuarial valuation date. The Company has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all Associates. The Company matches Associate contributions based upon the Company meeting certain return on equity operating results. Matching contributions made by the Company were approximately $251,000, $255,000 and $245,000 for fiscal years 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. (12) REGULATORY MATTERS At September 30, 2001, the Bank's loans-to-one borrower limit was approximately $9.1 million.

The initial balance of this liquidation account was equal to the Bank's net worth defined by OTS regulations as of the date of the latest statement of financial condition contained in the final offering circular. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank (and only in such event) each eligible holder shall be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from this account in the amount of the then current adjusted balance for deposits then held, before any liquidation distribution may be made to the stockholders.

(14) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of dilutive stock options determined using the treasury stock method and the average market price of common stock. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated for all common stock dividends.

Changes in market interest and prepayment rates since September 30, 2000 and 2001, could have a significant impact on the fair value presented and should be considered when analyzing this financial data. The Company had $60.6 million of off-balance sheet financial commitments as of September 30, 2001, which are commitments to originate loans, unused consumer lines of credit and undisbursed portion of loans in process. Since these obligations are based on current market rates, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company originates certain fixed rate residential loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that the Company enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Company is subject to variability in the market prices related to these commitments. The Company believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the sales through forward sales of "to be issued" mortgage backed securities and loans ("forward sales commitments"). The commitment to originate fixed rate residential loans and forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not generally qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in net gains on sale of loans. The commitments to originate fixed rate conforming loans totaled $13.2 million at September, 30 2001. The fair value of these commitments was a gain of $177,000 at September 30, 2001. The forward sales commitments totaled $13.0 million at September 30, 2001. The fair value of these commitments was a loss of $148,000 at September 30, 2001. Fair value estimates are made at the dates indicated above, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in any of these assumptions used in calculating fair value would also significantly affect the estimates. Changes in market interest rates and prepayment assumptions could significantly change the fair value. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, the Company has significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities including deposit franchise value, loan servicing portfolio, real estate, deferred tax liabilities, premises and equipment, and goodwill. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. (22) SALE OF FLORENCE OFFICE In the second fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company sold its Florence, South Carolina office to First Federal Savings Association of Cheraw ("First Federal"). The office had deposits of $24.9 million. The Company received a deposit premium from First Federal and recorded a gain, net of selling expenses, of $1.7 million. The Company funded the sale of the deposits through the sale of loans, associated with this office of $10.9 million and increased borrowings, primarily through brokered deposits. The Company recorded a gain on sale of loans of $60,000 related to this sale. In conjunction with the sale of the Florence office, the Company has agreed not to compete in the Florence market for a period of four years. (23) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has a $16.0 million outstanding line of credit with a commercial bank. The line of credit is secured by 100% of the stock of the Bank. At September 30, 2001, the outstanding balance was approximately $2.1 million. 31 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis Forward Looking Statements This report may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that represent Coastal Financial Corporation's (the Company) expectations or beliefs concerning future events. Such forward-looking statements are about matters that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could influence the matters discussed in certain forward-looking statements include the timing and amount of revenues that may be recognized by the Company, continuation of current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting charge-offs and provisions for loan losses), absence of unforeseen changes in the Company's markets, legal and regulatory changes, and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by the Company). Because of the risks and uncertainties inherent in forward looking statements, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them, whether included in this report or made elsewhere from time to time by the Company or on its behalf. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward looking statements. General The Company reported $9.3 million in net income for the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to $8.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. Net interest income increased $2.5 million as a result of increased interest income of $2.2 million offset by a decrease of $313,000 in interest expense. Provision for loan losses decreased from $978,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000, to $955,000 for the year ended September 30, 2001. Other income increased from $5.9 million in fiscal 2000, to $7.9 million in 2001. General and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million or 12.3%, for fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000. Total assets decreased from $768.8 million at September 30, 2000 to $763.2 million at September 30, 2001, or .73%. Liquid assets, consisting of cash, interest-bearing deposits, and securities, increased from $215.0 million at September 30, 2000, to $226.9 million at September 30, 2001. Loans receivable decreased 4.5% from $511.7 million at September 30, 2000, to $488.8 million at September 30, 2001. Total loan originations for fiscal 2001 were $296.1 million as compared to $247.2 million for fiscal 2000. The growth in liquid assets was funded by increased deposits of $124.1 million. This was offset by decreased advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta of $85.2 million and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $57.2 million. As a result of increased Sales Centers and a strong emphasis on growing local deposits during fiscal 2001, deposits increased from $406.2 million at September 30, 2000, to $530.4 million at September 30, 2001. During this same period, transaction deposits (defined as noninterest bearing checking accounts and NOW accounts) increased $20.9 million, money market checking accounts increased $73.5 million and certificate accounts increased $32.7 million. As a result of $9.3 million in net earnings, less the cash dividends paid to shareholders of approximately $2.0 million, treasury stock repurchases of approximately $2.1 million, and the net change in unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of income tax of $5.0 million, stockholders' equity increased from $46.9 million at September 30, 2000 to $57.2 million at September 30, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, the Company has maintained its liquidity at levels believed by management to be adequate to meet requirements of normal operations, potential deposit outflows and strong loan demand and still allow for optimal investment of funds and return on assets. The principal sources of funds for the Company are cash flows from operations, consisting mainly of mortgage, consumer and commercial loan payments, retail customer deposits, repurchase agreements securitized by mortgage-backed securities and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. The principal use of cash flows is the origination of loans receivable. The Company originated loans receivable of $256.4 million, $247.2 million and $296.1 million for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. A large portion of these loan originations were financed through loan principal repayments which amounted to $128.8 million, $139.9 million and $186.5 million for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company has generally sold conforming fixed rate mortgage loans to correspondent financial institutions in the secondary market to finance future loan originations. For the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company sold loans amounting to $60.8 million, $33.7 million and $75.7 million, respectively. The Company experienced 32 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued increased sales as a result of lower interest rates during fiscal 2001. Should interest rates continue at their historical low levels, this trend may continue. During 2001, the Company used deposit growth to restructure and reduce its debt. In fiscal 2001 deposits increased from $406.2 million at September 30, 2000, to $530.4 million at September 30, 2001. During fiscal 2001, the Company prepaid approximately $37.7 million of advances from FHLB and incurred gross penalties of approximately $1.1 million which was recorded as an extraordinary item in the statement of operations. As a result of this and the repayment of other short-term advances, the weighted average rate on FHLB advances decreased to 5.46% at September 30, 2001, compared to 6.44% at September 30, 2000. In addition, the Company paid off approximately $57.2 million in reverse repurchase agreements during fiscal 2001. At September 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to originate $14.8 million in loans and $34.4 million in unused lines of credit, which the Company expects to fund from normal operations. Traditionally, a significant portion of the unused lines of credit may never be used by the Customer. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $162.3 million of certificates of deposit which were due to mature within one year. Based upon previous experience, the Company believes that a major portion of these certificates will be redeposited. At September 30, 2001, the Company had excess collateral pledged to the FHLB which would support additional FHLB advance borrowings of $63.9 million. Additionally, at September 30, 2001, the Company had repurchase agreement lines of credit and available collateral consisting of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of $113.5 million as well as federal funds lines available of $10.0 million. As a condition of deposit insurance, current FDIC regulations require that the Bank calculate and maintain a minimum regulatory capital requirement on a quarterly basis and satisfy such requirement at the calculation date and throughout the ensuing quarter. The Bank's tangible and core capital approximated $55.3 million at September 30, 2001, exceeding the Bank's tangible and core requirements by $43.8 million and $24.7 million, respectively. At September 30, 2001, the Bank's capital exceeded its current risk-based minimum capital requirement by $24.2 million. The risk-based capital requirement may increase in the future. Also see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended September 30, 2000 and 2001 General Net earnings were $9.3 million ($0.85 per diluted share) for the year ended September 30, 2001, an increase of 10.0% compared to $8.5 million ($0.75 per diluted share) for the year ended September 30, 2000. As a result of share repurchases, diluted earnings per share increased 13.3%. Net interest income increased $2.5 million primarily as a result of an increase in interest income of $2.2 million which was accompanied by a decrease in interest expense of $313,000. Interest Income Interest income for the year ended September 30, 2001, increased 3.7% to $60.3 million as compared to $58.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 2000 was 8.34% compared to 8.26% for the year ended September 30, 2001. The average yield on loans receivable for fiscal year 2001 was 8.80% compared to 8.74% in 2000. The yield on investments which includes Investments, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Overnight Funds and Federal Funds, decreased to 7.00% for the fiscal year 2001 from 7.33% for fiscal year 2000. Total interest-earning assets for fiscal year 2001 averaged $738.5 million compared to $705.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The increase in average interest-earning assets is primarily due to an increase in average loans receivable of approximately $18.3 million and mortgage-backed and investment securities of approximately $12.6 million. 33 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued Interest Expense Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $33.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $33.6 million in fiscal 2000. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.62% for the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to 4.84% in fiscal year 2000. The average cost of deposits for the year ended September 30, 2001, was 4.03% compared to 3.88% for the year ended September 30, 2000. The cost of FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements for fiscal 2001 was 5.90% and 5.65%, respectively, compared to 6.12% and 6.38%, respectively, for fiscal 2000. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased 3.4% from $694.5 million at September 30, 2000, to $717.9 million at September 30, 2001. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities is due to an increase in average deposits of approximately $75.3 million and in average FHLB advances of $10.8 million. This was offset by a decrease in average reverse repurchase agreements of $62.3 million. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $26.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $2.5 million, compared to $24.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The net interest margin increased to 3.64% for fiscal 2001 compared to 3.50% for fiscal 2000. Average interest-earning assets increased $33.5 million while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $23.4 million. During fiscal 2001, interest rates have decreased significantly. At September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001, the prime rate of interest was 9.50% and 6.0%, respectively. With the reduction in interest rates, resulting from the Federal Reserve Board's decision to reduce the prime rate by 350 basis points, it is expected that the Company's yield on interest earning assets and cost of deposits and borrowing will decline in fiscal 2002. Consequently, it is expected that a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio will be subject to refinancing at lower rates. Should, as a result of continued rate reductions by the Federal Reserve, refinancing of loans at lower rates and repricing of loans tied to prime or treasury rates outpace the repricing of deposits and borrowings the Company could experience a significantly reduced net interest margin in the future. Provision for Loan Losses The Company's provision for loan losses decreased from $978,000 for fiscal 2000 to $955,000 for fiscal 2001. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.42% at September 30, 2001 compared to 1.35% at September 30, 2000. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were .64% of total loans at September 30, 2001, compared to .92% at September 30, 2000. The allowance for loan losses was 220% of loans delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 2001, compared to 148% at September 30, 2000. Management believes that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate considering the composition of the loan portfolio, the portfolio's loss experience, delinquency trends, current regional and local economic conditions and other factors. Also see "Nonperforming Assets" and "Allowance for Loan Losses." Other Income In fiscal 2001, total other income increased from $5.9 million for the period ended September 30, 2000, to $7.9 million for the period ended September 30, 2001. Fees and service charges on loans and deposit accounts was $2.6 million for fiscal 2001, compared to $2.1 million for fiscal 2000. Due to a decreasing long-term interest rate environment which has resulted in increased fixed-rate mortgage originations, gain on sale of loans was $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to $631,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000. Gain on sale of mortgage-backed securities, net was $727,000 for fiscal 2001, compared to losses of $1.6 million for fiscal 2000. This was a result of the restructuring of a portion of the available for sale investment portfolio. The losses were offset by a gain on the sale of the Florence office deposits of $1.7 million in fiscal 2000. Other income increased from $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, to $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. Other Expense General and administrative expenses were $18.2 million for fiscal 2001 as compared to $16.2 million for fiscal 2000. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $10.5 million for fiscal 2001 as compared to $9.1 million for fiscal 2000, or 15.3%, primarily due to normal increases and the costs of staffing for four new offices. Also as a result of the four office additions, net occupancy, furniture and fixtures and data processing expense increased $83,000 for fiscal 2001, as compared to fiscal 2000. Other expenses increased from $3.0 million in fiscal 2000 to $3.5 million in fiscal 2001. The increase is primarily due to increased expenses related to the servicing of deposit accounts. Income Taxes Income taxes increased from $4.7 million in fiscal 2000 to $5.7 million in fiscal 2001 as a result of increased earnings before income taxes. 34 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended September 30, 1999 and 2000 General Net earnings were $8.5 million ($0.75 per diluted share) for the year ended September 30, 2000, an increase of 9.6% compared to $7.7 million ($0.68 per diluted share) for the year ended September 30, 1999. Net interest income increased $1.9 million primarily as a result of an increase in interest income of $8.5 million which was offset by an increase in interest expense of $6.6 million. Interest Income Interest income for the year ended September 30, 2000, increased 17.2% to $58.1 million as compared to $49.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 primarily due to a 10.7% increase in average interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 1999 was 7.88% compared to 8.34% for the year ended September 30, 2000. The average yield on loans receivable for fiscal year 2000 was 8.74% compared to 8.55% in 1999. The yield on investments which includes Investments, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Overnight Funds and Federal Funds, increased to 7.33% for the fiscal year 2000 from 6.15% for fiscal year 1999. Total interest-earning assets for fiscal year 2000 averaged $705.0 million compared to $637.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. The increase in average interest-earning assets is due to an increase in average loans receivable of approximately $52.4 million and mortgage-backed and investment securities of approximately $10.0 million. Interest Expense Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $33.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $27.0 million in fiscal 1999. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.84% for the year ended September 30, 2000, compared to 4.32% in fiscal year 1999. The average cost of deposits for the year ended September 30, 2000, was 3.88% compared to 3.77% for the year ended September 30, 1999. The cost of FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements for fiscal 2000 was 6.12% and 6.38%, respectively, compared to 5.28% and 5.30%, respectively, for fiscal 1999. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased 12.1% from $619.4 million at September 30, 1999, to $694.5 million at September 30, 2000. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities is due to an increase in average deposits of approximately $18.0 million, FHLB advances of $16.8 million and reverse repurchase agreements of $40.6 million. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $24.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $1.9 million, compared to $22.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. The net interest margin decreased slightly to 3.50% for fiscal 2000 compared to 3.55% for fiscal 1999. Average interest-earning assets increased $67.9 million while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $75.1 million. During fiscal 2000, interest rates have increased significantly. At September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000, the prime rate of interest was 8.25% and 9.50%, respectively. Should interest rates continue to increase, certain of the Bank's adjustable rate loans may reach their lifetime interest rate change cap. At September 30, 2000, $3.8 million of the Bank's adjustable rate loans were within 200 basis points of their cap. In addition, a high percentage of the Company's assets are adjustable rate mortgage loans which reprice annually; whereas, many of the Company's liabilities reprice in 60 to 180 days. The Company expects that as a result of this rapidly rising interest rate environment, its net interest margin may decrease materially in fiscal 2001. Provision for Loan Losses The Company's provision for loan losses increased from $750,000 for fiscal 1999 to $978,000 for fiscal 2000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.35% at September 30, 2000, compared to 1.36% at September 30, 1999. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were .92% of total loans at September 30, 2000, compared to .30% at September 30, 1999. The allowance for loan losses was 148% of loans delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 2000, compared to 449% at September 30, 1999. Management believes that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate considering the composition of the loan portfolio, the portfolio's loss experience, delinquency trends, current regional and local economic conditions and other factors. Also see "Nonperforming Assets" and "Allowance for Loan Losses." 35 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued Other Income In fiscal 2000, total other income increased from $5.6 million for the period ended September 30, 1999, to $5.9 million for the period ended September 30, 2000. Fees and service charges on loans and deposit accounts was $2.1 million for fiscal 2000, compared to $2.0 million for fiscal 1999. Due to an increasing long-term interest rate environment which has resulted in decreased mortgage originations, gain on sale of loans was $631,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000, compared to $979,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999. Loss on sale of securities was $1.6 million for fiscal 2000, compared to gains of $264,000 for fiscal 1999. This is a result of the restructuring of a portion of the available for sale investment portfolio. The losses were offset by a gain on the sale of the Florence office deposits of $1.7 million. Other income increased from $973,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999, to $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. Other Expense General and administrative expenses were $16.2 million for fiscal 2000 as compared to $15.3 million for fiscal 1999. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $9.1 million for fiscal 2000 from $8.6 million for fiscal 1999, or 6.3%, primarily due to staffing for four new offices. Also as a result of the four office additions, net occupancy, furniture and fixtures and data processing expense increased $383,000 for fiscal 2000, as compared to fiscal 1999. Other expenses increased slightly from $2.9 million in 1998 to $3.0 million in 2000. Income Taxes Income taxes increased from $4.4 million in fiscal 1999 to $4.7 million in fiscal 2000 as a result of increased earnings before income taxes. Non-performing Assets Non-performing assets were $5.6 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased from $4.8 million at September 30, 2000, to $3.3 million at September 30, 2001. Real estate acquired through foreclosure increased from $867,000 at September 30, 2000, to $2.4 million at September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2001, impaired loans totaled $3.4 million. There were $1.4 million in impaired loans at September 30, 2000. Included in the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2001 was $281,000 related to impaired loans compared to $345,000 at September 30, 2000. The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the year ended September 30, 2001 was $3.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. Interest income recognized on impaired loans in fiscal 2001 was $120,000. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans in fiscal 2000. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and an allowance for uncollectable interest is established on loans where collection is questionable, generally when such loans become 90 days delinquent. Loan balances for which interest amounts have been reserved and all loans more than 90 days delinquent are placed on non-accrual status. Typically, payments received on a non-accrual loan are applied to the outstanding principal or recognized as interest based upon the collectability of the loan as determined by management. Allowance for Loan Losses The Company's management evaluates the need to establish additional allowances against losses on loans quarterly. Such an evaluation includes a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated market value of the underlying collateral of problem loans, composition of the loan portfolio, prior loss experience, economic conditions, etc. The Company established provisions for loan losses for the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, of $750,000, $978,000 and $955,000, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Company had net charge-offs of $100,000, $319,000 and $860,000, respectively. Net charge offs as a percentage of average outstanding loans were .02%, .06%, and .17% for fiscal years ended 1999, 2000 and 2001. During fiscal 2001, the markets the Company serves began experiencing an economic slow down in the areas of tourism and real estate development. As a result of the economic slow down, the Company has experienced an increase in charge-offs from its consumer loan and credit card portfolios. In addition, the Company had a $153,000 charge-off related to one commercial relationship. At September 30, 2001, the Company had an allowance for loan losses of $7.2 million, which was 1.42% of net loans compared to 1.35% at September 30, 2000. 36 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued Allowance for Loan Losses - Continued Management believes that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is presently adequate considering the composition of the loan portfolio, the portfolio's loss experience, delinquency trends, current regional and local economic conditions and other factors. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject to adjustment upon their examination. Interest Rate Risk Disclosure The Bank's Asset Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") monitors and considers methods of managing exposure to interest rate risk. The ALCO committee consists of members of the Board of Directors and Senior Leadership of the Company and meets quarterly. The Bank's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the Bank's change in net portfolio value in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. The ALCO is charged with the responsibility to maintain the level of sensitivity of the Bank's net portfolio value within Board approved limits. Net portfolio value (NPV) represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items over a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The Bank's Board of Directors has adopted an interest rate risk policy which establishes maximum allowable decreases in NPV in the event of a sudden and sustained one hundred to four hundred basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates. The following table presents the Bank's projected change in NPV as computed by the OTS for the various rate shock levels as of September 30, 2001. Board Limit Board Limit Market Value Market Value Minimum NPV Maximum Of Assets Portfolio Equity NPV Change in Interest Rates Ratio Decline in NPV 9/30/01 9/30/01 Ratio - ------------------------ ----- -------------- ------- ------- ----- 300 basis point rise 5.00% 400 BPS $ 775,684 $ 97,637 12.59% 200 basis point rise 6.00% 300 BPS $ 786,740 $ 103,258 13.12% 100 basis point rise 6.00% 250 BPS $ 797,161 $ 105,914 13.29% No Change 6.00% $ 805,251 $ 107,483 13.35% 100 basis point decline 6.00% 250 BPS $ 809,913 $ 106,549 13.16% 200 basis point decline 6.00% 300 BPS $ 813,963 $ 105,881 13.01% 300 basis point decline 6.00% 350 BPS N/A N/A N/A The preceding table indicates that at September 30, 2001, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market interest rates, the Bank's NPV would be expected to decrease, and that in the event of a sudden decrease in prevailing market interest rates, the Bank's NPV would be expected to change minimally. Values for the 300 basis point decline are not indicated due to the current level of interest rates. At September 30, 2001, the Bank's estimated changes in NPV were within the limits established by the Board of Directors. Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the ALCO could undertake in response to sudden changes in interest rates. The Bank also uses interest rate sensitivity gap analysis to monitor the relationship between the maturity and repricing of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest-rate-sensitive liabilities. Generally, during a period of rising rates, a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would result in a decrease in net interest income. It is management's goal to maintain reasonable balance between exposure to interest rate fluctuations and earnings. 37 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Management's Discussion and Analysis - Continued Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those derivatives are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138, on October 1, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on October 1, 2000 as well as the impact of applying SFAS No. 133 for the year ended September 30, 2001 was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This new statement replaces SFAS No. 125 and provides further standards on accounting and reporting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS No. 140 was effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The Company adopted this statement on July 1, 2001 and the impact was not material to its financial statements. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 will require that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 will also require that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS statement No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The Company adopted statement 141 in July 2001 and plans to adopt statement 142 on October 1, 2001. The Company does not have any intangible assets affected by these standards. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impaiment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, it retains many of the fundamental provisions of that Statement. The provisions of SFAS 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt SFAS 144 on October 1, 2002 and has not yet determined the impact from adoption. Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, without consideration of change in the relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily change in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services. Capital Standards and Regulatory Matters The Bank's capital standards include: (1) a leverage limit requiring all OTS chartered financial institutions to maintain core capital in an amount not less than 4% of the financial institution's total assets; (2) a tangible capital requirement of not less than 1.5% of total assets; and (3) a risk-based capital requirement of not less than 8.0% of risk weighted assets. For further information concerning the Bank's capital standards, refer to Note 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 38 Board of Directors Coastal Financial Corporation Coastal Federal Savings Bank Coastal Investor Services, Inc.
