PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements (continued)
CCBT FINANCIAL COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited)
Business
CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 8, 1998 under the name of CCBT
Bancorp, Inc. at the direction of the Board of Directors and management of Cape
Cod Bank and Trust Company ("Bank") for the purpose of becoming a bank holding
company for the Bank. On February 11, 1999, Bancorp became the holding company
for the Bank by acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of the Bank's common
stock in a 1:1 exchange for Bancorp common stock. During 1999, the Company's
name was changed to CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. The Bank's charter was
converted to that of a national bank effective September 1, 1999. Currently, the
Company's business activities are conducted primarily through the Bank.
During the second quarter of 2000, the Company, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company N.A., acquired 51% of the stock of
Murray & MacDonald Insurance Services, Inc. (the "Agency") of Falmouth,
Massachusetts, a full service insurance Agency offering property, casualty,
life, accident and health products to clients on Cape Cod. The Agency has been
in business since 1972 and has license agreements with more than thirty
insurance firms.
In addition to the acquisition of Murray & MacDonald Insurance Services,
Inc., the Company also completed its acquisition of two branch banking offices,
in Falmouth and Wareham, Massachusetts, from Fleet Bank during the second
quarter of 2000. These branches added approximately $55 million in deposits at a
15.5% premium, at June 30, 2000.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals for complete
financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified in the September
30, 2001 financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting principally of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current
fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
On June 30, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations,"
and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires that
the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, effective
January 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its
estimated useful life, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for
impairment by applying a fair value based test. The first impairment evaluation
was completed by June 30, 2002, and no impairment was identified. Additionally,
under SFAS No. 142, acquired intangible assets (such as core deposit
intangibles) should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible
asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the
intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged,
regardless of intent to do so. Unidentified intangible assets pertaining to
branch acquisitions will continue to be amortized as such transactions are
outside the scope of SFAS No. 142. As a result, effective January 1, 2002, the
Company's goodwill is no longer being amortized but is evaluated for impairment,
and the Company's core deposit intangibles continue to be amortized over their
estimated useful lives.
Contingency
In June 2002, the Bank received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Department of Revenue ("DOR"), a Notice of Intent to Assess additional state
excise taxes of $3,102,504 plus interest of $462,797 through July 2, 2002. The
assessment is based on a desk review of the financial institution excise return
filed by the Bank for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000. The 2001 tax
return had not yet been filed by the Bank as of the time of the DOR desk review.
In September 2002, the Bank filed the 2001 tax return, excluding from its income
$20.3 million of dividend distributions received from its real estate investment
trust subsidiary.
The DOR contends that dividend distributions which the Bank received from
its real estate investment trust subsidiary, CCBT Preferred Corp., are fully
taxable in Massachusetts. The Bank believes that 95% of these distributions are
excludable from its income under Massachusetts tax law. Accordingly, no
provision has been made in the Bank's consolidated financial statements for the
7
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements (continued)
amounts assessed or additional amounts that might be assessed in the future. The
Bank intends to vigorously appeal the assessment and to pursue all available
means to defend its position. Assessed amounts ultimatley paid, if any, would be
deductible expenses for federal income tax purposes.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that may be considered
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result, among other factors, of
changes in general, national or regional economic conditions, changes in loan
default and charge-off rates, reductions in deposit levels necessitating
increased borrowing to fund loans and investments, changes in interest rates,
changes in the size and nature of the Company's competition, and changes in the
assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included within this
report. Given that the Company's principal activity currently is ownership of
the Bank, for ease of reference, the term "Company" in this item generally will
refer to the investments and activities of the Company and the Bank except where
otherwise noted.
CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. is a bank holding company. Its main
operating subsidiary, Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company, N.A. is the largest
commercial bank headquartered in Barnstable County. It offers a wide range of
commercial banking services for individuals, businesses, non-profit
organizations, governmental units and fiduciaries. The Bank receives
substantially all of its deposits from and makes substantially all of its loans
to individuals and businesses on Cape Cod, although the Bank has some loans on
properties outside its market area, including some sizable participations in
commercial mortgages. The Bank's core market is comprised of retail, wholesale,
and manufacturing businesses; primary households (including a significant
retirement population); and a growing number of second homeowners. In addition,
a substantial non-core vacation population contributes to seasonal deposit
growth.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 vs. September 30, 2001
Source and Use of Funds
Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.1 million or 1.5% when
comparing the third quarter of 2002 with the same period in 2001. A decline in
average time certificates of deposit of $71.9 miilion or 30.0% was offset by
increases in all other interest bearing deposits (NOW accounts, money market
accounts and regular savings accounts). Money market accounts, on average,
increased $40.0 million or 15.5%, regular savings increased $17.3 million or
24.7%, and NOW accounts increased $15.6 million or 10.9%. Average non-interest
bearing demand deposits increased $12.5 million or 5.5%. As compared to the same
period in 2001, average borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank declined
during the third quarter of 2002 by $20.5 million or 5.2% while other short-term
borrowings also declined slightly by $1.1 million or 3.5%. The issuance of $5
million of Trust Preferred Securities during the third quarter of 2001 by CCBT
Statutory Trust I, a subsidiary of the Company, provided an additional source of
funds.
When compared to the third quarter of 2001, average securities increased
$39.1 million or 7.9% during the third quarter of 2002. This growth was led by
an increase in U.S. Government agencies of $33.9 million or 265.5% and an
increase in CMOs of $23.2 million or 12.3%. Other securities also increased
slightly by $1.6 million or 0.64%. These increases were partially offset by
declines in mortgage backed securities of $11.4 million or 57.2%. During the
third quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001, average loans decreased $30.6 million
or 3.3%. This decrease can be attributed to the decline in residential mortgages
of $74.1 million or 17.2% as a result of payoffs as well as the Company's policy
of selling fixed rate mortgages upon origination. Other categories of loans
experiencing a decrease include residential construction, down $2.9 million or
6.0%, and consumer loans, down $2.4 million or 28.5%. These declines were
partially offset by the increase in commercial construction and mortgage loans
of $33.6 million or 11.0%.
Net interest income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $12.7
million, which represented a decrease of 1.7% compared to the $13.0 million
reported for the same period in 2001. The interest rate spread and net interest
margin were 3.02% and 3.55%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30,
2002 as compared to 2.92% and 3.63%, respectively, for the comparable period in
2001. Consistent with the current low interest rate environment, the variable
rate costs of interest bearing liabilities has been reduced while, by contrast,
the proportion of fixed and intermediate term adjustable rate earning assets
has caused the gross yield on earning assets to decrease at a slower pace.
Provision for loan losses
Recoveries on loans previously charged off exceeded charge-offs during the
three months ended September 30, 2002 by $35,000. Management's assessment of the
risks in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2002 as well as the Company's
recent loss experience, whereby recoveries have actually exceeded charge-offs
since 1997, resulted in no provision for loan losses during the third quarter of
2002.
Non-interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income totaled $5.8 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2002, a decrease of 8.8% or $565 thousand compared to the $6.4 million
earned during the comparable period in 2001. In addition to a $230 thousand loss
on the sale of a fixed asset included in other income (loss), there was a
significant decrease in the net gain on sales of loans, down $1.2 million
compared to the third quarter of 2001 results which included the effect of a
large sale of residential mortgages. Partially offsetting these decreases were
increases in net gain on sales of securities of $246 thousand and electronic
banking fees, up $253 thousand, due to increased transaction volume as well as
new product offerings. In addition, insurance commissions increased $228
thousand as a result of planned growth in this area.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, non-interest expense totaled
$12.6 million, an increase of 8.9% or $1.0 million over the $11.6 million
expended during the same period in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $1.1 million or 17.3% with a significant portion of this increase
attributable to a performance-based bonus program and incentive program. The
remainder of the increase is due to normal salary increases, increased insurance
costs and additional staff for new locations.

Income taxes
Applicable State and Federal income tax expense of $2.0 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 was 25.9% less than the $2.7 million recorded
for the same quarter in 2001, a reflection of lower pretax net income. The
combined effective State and Federal tax rate was 34% and 35% of pretax net
income for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Net income
Consolidated net income was $3.9 million representing earnings per share of
$0.45 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $5.0 million
or $0.58 per share for the comparable three months ended September 30, 2001.
Annualized returns on average assets and average equity were 1.05 % and 12.87%,
respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 1.35%
and 18.59%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 vs. September 30, 2001
Source and Use of Funds
On average, interest bearing deposits decreased $43.9 million or 5.9% when
comparing the first nine months of 2002 with the same period in 2001. This
decline can be attributed to time certificates of deposit which decreased $108.8
million or 37.7% as a result of the maturity of a significant amount of one year
certificates of deposit during the third quarter of 2001 as well as the
reduction of interest rates being offered on these products. Partially
offsetting the decrease in time deposits were increases in NOW accounts of
$14.1 million or 10.2%, regular savings up $14.6 million or 22.1%, and money
market accounts up $36.2 million or 14.7%. Average non-interest bearing demand
deposits also increased $13.2 million or 6.4% for the first nine months of 2002
as compared to 2001. Average Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings declined by $26.0
million or 6.8% during the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the same
period in 2001. An additional source of funds was the issuance of $5.0 million
of Trust Preferred Securities during the third quarter of 2001 by CCBT Statutory
Trust I, a subsidiary of the Company.
Average loans decreased $7.3 million or 0.8% during the first nine months
of 2002 as compared to 2001. On average, residential construction and mortgage
loans declined by $55.3 million or 11.9% as a result of sales of residential
mortgages while commercial construction and mortgage loans grew by $32.0 million
or 11.0%. Average home equity loans increased 40.4% or $17.0 million, in large
part due to lower rates on this prime-based product. Additional loan growth, on
average, occurred in commercial loans, up $1.2 million or 1.4% while consumer
loans declined $2.0 million or 23.3%. When compared to the first nine months of
2001, average securities declined in 2002 by $30.0 million or 5.9%. Substantial
decreases in mortgage-backed securities, down $19.3 million or 61.8%, and
CMO's, down $16.8 million or 9.1%, can be attributed to prepayments on these
securities as a result of the decline in interest rates. Partially offsetting
these decreases is an increase in U.S. Government agencies of 70.7% or $12.0
million.
Net interest income
Net interest income was $37.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 as compared to $38.7 million for the same period in 2001, a decline of
2.2%. The spread and net interest margin ratios were 3.15% and 3.71%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to 2.91%
and 3.69%, respectively, for the comparable 2001 period. The effect of lower
interest rates on net interest income has been tempered somewhat by the maturity
of higher-yield time certificates of deposit since the prior year. Also,
consistent with the current low interest rate environment, the variable rate
costs of interest bearing liabilities has been reduced while, by contrast, the
proportion of fixed and intermediate term adjustable rate earning assets has
caused the gross yield on earning assets to decrease at a slower pace. The
improved interest rate spread and net interest margin results are also affected
by the high proportion of transaction deposits having little or no interest cost
as well as the Company's practice of match-funding 3 to 5 year fixed rate
commercial loans with similar term FHLB Advances. This portfolio totalled $193
million at September 30, 2002 as compared with $171 million one year ago.
Provision for loan losses
Recoveries on loans previously charged off exceeded charge-offs during the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 by $170,000. Management's assessment of the
risks in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2002 as well as the Company's
recent loss experience, whereby recoveries have exceeded charge-offs since 1997,
resulted in no provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2002.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.42% and 1.39% of total loans at September
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Non-interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income of $19.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, represented an increase of 16.0% compared to the $16.7 million earned
during the same period in 2001. Net gain on sales of securities contributed $2.0
million to this increase while electronic banking fees increased $503 thousand
as a result of increased volume of electronic transactions as well as new
product offerings. Insurance commissions accounted for $887 thousand of the
increase inclusive of a $398 thousand adjustment in the second quarter for the
recognition of deferred insurance commissions for which no deferral is required.
Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in net gain on sales of
loans, down $546 thousand from 2001 results which included the gain on a
significant sale of residential mortgages as well as a $230 thousand loss on the
sale of a fixed asset.
During the first nine months of 2002, non-interest expenses totaled $36.5
million, an increase of 8.5% or $2.9 million over the $33.7 million expended
during the comparable period last year. Salaries and employee benefits rose $2.4
million or 13.1%.
13
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
Approximately $500 thousand of this increase is attributable to expenses
associated with an early retirement package offered to certain long-term
employees during the second quarter of 2002. The remainder of this increase is a
factor of normal salary increases, planned additions to staff, increased
insurance costs and increases attributable to performance based bonus and
incentive programs. The increase of $480,000 or 39.6% in the all other expenses
category is, in large part, attributable to an increase in expenses associated
with the higher volume of electronic transactions as well as the offering of new
electronic banking products. Also included in all other expenses in 2002 is a
$50 thousand payment to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue
for a sales/use tax assessment. Buildings and equipment increased $481 thousand
or 11.5%, as a result of increased expenses due to the addition of three new
financial service offices and two new branches during the last year.
Income taxes
Applicable State and Federal income tax expense of $7.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 6.0% less than the $7.4 million
recorded for the same period in 2001, a reflection of lower pretax net income.
The combined effective State and Federal tax rate was 34% of pretax net income
for each period presented.
Net income
Consolidated net income was $13.5 million representing earnings per share
of $1.56 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $14.2
million or $1.65 per share for the comparable nine months ended September 30,
2001. Annualized returns on average assets and average equity were 1.26% and
15.25%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared
to 1.29% and 18.43%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED PERIOD-END ASSETS,
LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL
The Company had $1.62 billion consolidated total assets, $973.9 million
deposits and $119.4 million stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002. Its
capital to assets ratio was 7.4%, exceeding all regulatory requirements. As
compared to reported balances at December 31, 2001, securities available for
sale increased $127.6 million or 29.1%, gross loans decreased $12.3 million or
1.4%, deposits increased $70.5 million or 7.8% and borrowed funds increased
$29.4 million or 7.1%.
Securities
The adjusted cost and estimated market values of investment securities,
which the Company classified as available for sale, at September 30, 2002 and

Securities available for sale increased $127.6 million, from $438.3 million
at December 31, 2001 to $566.0 million at September 30, 2002. Net gains from
sales were $538 thousand and $3.2 million during the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2002, respectively, compared to net gains of $292 thousand
and $1.1 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2001.
The investment securities portfolio is subject to changing valuations
resulting from both changes in interest rates, and in credit quality during weak
economic periods. Gross unrealized losses on other collateralized mortgage
obligations and other debt securities increased from $0.5 and $1.1 million at
June 30, 2002 to $2.8 and $2.9 million at September 30, 2002, respectively. Each
of these categories includes an individual security that experienced a
significant decrease in fair value as a result of market factors within the
quarter. Collateralized mortgage obligations include an inverse interest-only
security with an amortized cost of $3.0 million and a fair value of $0.9
million. Other debt securities include an asset-backed security with an
amortized cost of $4.8 million and a fair value of $2.8 million for which there
has been a credit downgrade. This security is supported by subordinate tranches
that must absorb all credit losses before this security would be affected. This
security is not in default as to either principal or interest, and if payments
continue as they have been, it is anticipated that the security will pay out
entirely within one year. Although management's assessment of these securities
at September 30, 2002 supports their amortized costs, changes in future market
conditions may result in the recognition of loss.

As shown in the table above, total loans decreased $12.3 million or 1.39%
to $872.0 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001,
despite significant growth in the commercial mortgage, equity lines of credit
and construction loan portfolios, up $15.9, $10.5 and $7.2 million,
respectively. New residential mortgage originations of $39.3 million fixed rate
and $34.0 million adjustable rate were achieved in the third quarter 2002.
During the same period, the Company, consistent with its strategy of generally
selling fixed rate mortgages, sold $46.2 million residential mortgages,
producing net gains of $571.4 thousand.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the amount necessary to
absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance consists of
specific, general and unallocated components. Commercial real estate and
commercial business loans are evaluated
15
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
individually for allowance purposes. Other categories of loans are generally
evaluated as a group. The specific component relates to loans that are
classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. Loans classified as
doubtful are considered impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 114, and an
allowance is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. Loss factors
for substandard loans are based on a loss migration database, while loss factors
for all other categories of loans are based on the Company's historical loss
experience with similar loans of similar quality as determined by the Company's
internal rating system. Loss factors are then adjusted for additional points
that consider qualitative factors such as current economic trends (both local
and national), concentrations, growth and performance trends, and the results of
risk management assessments. Accordingly, increases or decreases in the amount
of each loan category as well as the ratings of the loans within each category
are considered in calculating the overall allowance. The allowance is an
estimate, and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments
become necessary, they are reported in earnings of the periods in which they
become known.
In addition, the Company's allowance for loan losses is periodically
reviewed by the OCC as part of their examination process. The OCC may require
the Company to make additions to the allowance based upon judgments different
from those of management.
Non performing assets and loan loss experience
As shown in the following table non-performing assets were $3.5 million or
..22% of total assets at September 30, 2002 compared to $3.3 million or .23% of
total assets at December 31, 2001. Accrual of interest income on loans is
discontinued when it is questionable whether the borrower will be able to pay
the principal and interest in full and/or when loan payments are 60 days past
due, or 90 days past due if the loan is fully secured by real estate or other
collateral held by the Bank.

Recoveries on loans previously charged off exceeded charge-offs therefore
management determined that additions to the allowance for loan losses were
unnecessary in 2002. The allowance represented 1.42% of total loans at September
30, 2002, 1.39% at December 31, 2001, and 1.39% at September 30, 2001. Although
management believes that upon review of loan quality and payment statistics, the
allowance is adequate to cover losses likely to result from loans in the current
portfolio at September 30, 2002, there can be no assurance that the allowance is
adequate or that additional provisions might not become necessary.

Total deposits $973,888 $903,391

Reflecting somewhat the seasonal nature of Cape Cod economy as discussed in
"Liquidity" on page 18 herein, total deposits at September 30, 2002 are $70.5
million or 7.8% higher than total deposits at December 31, 2001. Generally, the
Company's strategy is to price deposits according to local market rates,
offering higher alternative rates based on increasing amounts deposited.
Interest rates paid are frequently reviewed and are modified to reflect changing
conditions.
Borrowed Funds
Historically, the Company has selectively engaged in short and long term
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, and has sold securities
under agreements to repurchase, to fund loans and investments. At September 30,
2002, borrowed funds totaled $444.4 million, up 7.1% or $29.4 million compared
to borrowed funds at December 31,2001.
During the third quarter of 2001, CCBT Statutory Trust I was formed for the
purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds of the
sale of these securities in subordinated debentures issued by the Company. A
total of $5 million of floating rate Trust Preferred Securities were issued and
are scheduled to mature in 2031, callable at the option of the Company after
7/31/06. Distributions on these securities are payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of April, July, October and January. The Trust Preferred Securities
are presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition of the
Company as Subordinated Debt. The Company records distributions payable on the
Trust Preferred Securities as Interest on subordinated debt in its consolidated
statements of income.

Stockholders' Equity
The Company's capital to assets ratio was 7.37% at September 30, 2002
compared to 7.93% at December 31, 2001.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Company and/or the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. Holding companies, such as the Company, are not subject to prompt
corrective action provisions. The capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation
to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
The following schedule displays these capital guidelines and the ratios of the
Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2002.
Minimum September 30, 2002
Regulatory -----------------------
Guidelines Company Bank
-------------------------------------------
Tier 1 leverage capital 4.00% 8.01% 7.88%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 4.00% 11.14% 10.95%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 8.00% 12.30% 12.11%
The Company's book value at September 30, 2002 was $13.90 per share
compared to $13.38 per share at December 31, 2001.
LIQUIDITY
The Company normally experiences a wide swing in its liquidity each year as
a result of the seasonal nature of the economy in its market area. Liquidity is
usually at its high in late summer and early fall and the annual low point is
usually in the early spring. The Bank's investment securities could be sold if
necessary to meet liquidity needs. In that event, a gain or loss would be
realized if the market value of the securities sold was not equal to their cost,
adjusted for the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. The Bank can
also borrow funds using investment securities as collateral and it has a line of
credit of $5,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. The Bank has
also established a line of credit of $7,000,000 for the purchase of federal
funds from SunTrust Bank and may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank if
necessary.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which is
comprised of several Directors with senior management, is responsible for
managing interest rate risk in accordance with policies approved by the Board of
Directors regarding acceptable levels of interest rate risk, liquidity and
capital. The committee meets monthly and sets the rates paid on deposits,
approves loan pricing and reviews investment transactions.
Given the substantial liquidity from cash flow and maturities of the
Company's investment portfolio, the sizable proportion of rate sensitive loans
to total loans, and the large core deposit base, ALCO believes the Company to be
moderately asset-sensitive to changes in interest rates. Nevertheless, the
Company's strategy has included the funding of certain fixed rate loans with
medium term borrowed funds in order to mitigate a margin squeeze should interest
rates rise.
The Cape Cod market is one in which competing financial institutions
frequently offer a wide range of yields for similar deposit products. Within
this market, the Company finds it necessary, from time to time, to offer higher
rates than it would otherwise justify, thereby increasing pressure on net
interest income. In order to offset this pressure somewhat, the Company is
strategically focusing on customer relationship profitability.
