PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements (continued)
CCBT FINANCIAL COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (Unaudited)
1. Business
CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on October 8, 1998 and is the bank holding
company for Cape Cod Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), a national bank.
Currently, the Company's business activities are conducted primarily through the
Bank.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 principles for complete
financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified in the March 31,
2002 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 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, 2002.
3. Retroactive Change in Massachusetts Tax Law
The Company accrued a liability in the first quarter of 2003 of
approximately $5.1 million, representing an estimate of the additional state tax
liability, including interest (net of any federal and state tax deductions
associated with such taxes and interest), relating to the deduction for
dividends received from a real estate investment trust subsidiary (a "REIT") for
the 1999 through 2001 fiscal years, and the previously anticipated deduction for
fiscal 2002, thus reducing earnings by $5.1 million in the first quarter of
2003. The accrued liability is the result of new legislation signed March 5,
2003 by the Governor of Massachusetts that amends Massachusetts law to expressly
disallow the deduction for dividends received from a REIT. This amendment
applies retroactively to tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999. As a
result of the enactment of this legislation, the Company has ceased recording
the tax benefits associated with the dividends received deduction effective for
the 2003 tax year and accrued the liability described above.
CCBT Preferred Corp. ("CCBT Preferred") is a REIT formed by the Bank in
the second quarter of 1999. Since that time and prior to the enactment of the
new legislation discussed above, the Bank has taken a tax deduction under a
Massachusetts statute that provides for a dividends received deduction equal to
95% of certain dividend distributions made by CCBT Preferred to the Bank. As
previously announced, the Bank received notices of assessment from The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("DOR") for tax years ended
December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001 based on the DOR's contention that dividend
distributions by CCBT Preferred to the Bank are fully taxable in Massachusetts.
The Company is aware that the DOR has also sent similar notices to numerous
other financial institutions in Massachusetts that reported a deduction for
dividends received from a REIT on their Massachusetts financial institution
excise tax returns.
The Company believes that this legislation will be challenged, especially
the retroactive provisions, on constitutional and other grounds. The Company
would support such a challenge and otherwise intends to defend vigorously its
position.
4. Stock Compensation Plans
At March 31, 2003, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation
plans, which are described more fully in Note 6 of the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company accounts for its
stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
7
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Financial Statements (continued)
Had the Company applied SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock -Based
Compensation", for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the additional net
after-tax expense of $64,000 would have resulted in pro-forma basic and diluted
loss per share to be reported as ($.18) as compared to ($.17) per share. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2002, the additional net after-tax expense of $52,000
would have resulted in pro-forma basic earnings per share to be reported as $.58
as compared to the $.59 per share reported, while diluted earnings per share
would have remained unchanged at $.58 per share.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
This Form 10Q 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 consolidated financial statements and selected consolidated
financial data 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, Massachusetts. It offers a
wide range of banking and financial 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 and
wholesale businesses; primary households (including a significant retirement
population); and a growing number of second homeowners. In addition, a
substantial non-core vacation population causes seasonal deposit growth.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
Source and Use of Funds. Average deposits increased $34.3 million or 3.9%,
during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. This growth was led by an increase in transaction accounts of $37.6
million or 10.9% with additional growth occurring in regular savings and money
market accounts, up $15.1 million or 20.0% and $18.8 million or 6.9%,
respectively. Time deposits, the only category of deposits experiencing a
decline, were down $37.2 million or 19.1% as a result of the low interest rate
environment. Average borrowings decreased $69.8 million or 17.3% year to date in
2003 when compared to the same period in 2002. Short-term borrowings decreased
$9.0 million or 33.7%, on average, while borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank declined, on average, by $60.7 million or 16.4% during the first three
months of 2003 as compared to 2002. The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings includes the prepayment of $20.3 million of borrowings scheduled to
mature in 2005 as well as the repayment of maturing advances.
On average, securities increased by $40.7 million or 8.8% during the first
quarter of 2003 when compared to the first quarter of 2002. This increase can be
attributed to the increase in other securities of $43.2 million or 17.5% due to
increased holdings of asset-backed securities. Other categories of securities
experiencing significant fluctuations during the same period were
mortgage-backed securities, which as a result of significant prepayments
decreased $10.7 million or 60.4% while US Government agencies rose by $6.8
million or 38.9%. Average loans declined in the first quarter of 2003 by $77.3
million or 8.8% as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result of
significant prepayments in the residential mortgage portfolio as well as the
Company's decision not to hold long-term fixed rate residential mortgages,
residential mortgages has declined by $102.5 million or 27.6%, on average,
compared to the prior year. Partially offsetting this decrease was the growth in
commercial real estate loans, up $24.2 million or 7.6%. Additionally, home
equity loans continued to increase, up $13.1 million or 23.9%, on average, over
prior year as consumers continued to take advantage of this low interest rate
product.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $10.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $12.0 million for the same period in
2002, a decrease of 10%. In the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company's net
interest income was negatively affected by a penalty of $286 thousand on a $2.0
million FHLBB advance pre-payment and a decline of $1.6 million in interest
income applicable to an interest only CMO, as amortization of premium was
accelerated due to underlying pre-payments. The decline in net interest income
is also attributed to the continued low interest rate environment resulting in
ongoing pre-payments of residential mortgages and mortgage related securities,
thereby reducing total average earning assets. The net interest spread and net
interest margin ratios were 2.9% and 3.4%, respectively, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, as compared to 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively, for the prior year.
Provision for Loan Losses. Recoveries on loans previously charged off
exceeded charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2003 by $212,000.
Management's assessment of the risks in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2003 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 first quarter of 2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
total loans increased to 1.62% from 1.40% at March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, representing management's consideration of qualitative factors,
primarily the ongoing weakness in local and national economic trends.
Other Income and Expense. Non-interest income of $6.7 million reflected a
modest decline of $23 thousand during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to
the corresponding period in the prior year as the decrease in the discretionary
net gain on securities of $1.7 million was offset by increases in several other
categories. Increases in financial advisor fees of $199 thousand, insurance
commissions of $277 thousand, and electronic banking fees of $251 thousand
reflect the Company's efforts to increase fee-based revenue through the
expansion of the Company's products and expertise. Additionally, sales of
residential mortgages resulted in an increase of $932 thousand in the net gain
on sales of loans.
Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million or 9.2% from the first quarter
of 2002 to the same period in 2003. A significant portion of this increase can
be attributed to the accrual of $802 thousand of interest on a state tax
assessment which is the result of a retroactive amendment to state tax law
during the first quarter of 2003. Increases in salaries, up $107 thousand or
2.6%, are related to annual merit increases as well as the expansion in
financial service offices.
Net Income before Taxes. Net income before taxes was $5.3 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $7.5 million for the corresponding
period in 2002.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased by
170.2% from $2.5 million in the prior year to $6.8 million in 2003. This
increase is principally due to the amendment, in March of 2003, of
Massachusetts' law that expressly disallows the deduction for dividends received
from a real estate investment trust subsidiary. This resulted in an accrual of
10
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
$4.6 million of additional retroactive tax liability after federal tax
benefit, on state taxes of $7.1 million. The effective tax rate for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003, after adjusting for the retroactive tax liability would
have been 40.2% as compared to 33.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This
increase relates principally to the disallowance of the dividends received
deduction applicable to the REIT. Although the Company has accrued the
additional tax liability in response to the new legislation, the Company
believes this legislation will be challenged on constitutional and other
grounds, and would support such a challenge.
Net (Loss) Income. Net loss of $1.5 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2003 was the result of the, previously mentioned, March 5, 2003 amendment of
Massachusetts law that disallowed the deduction for dividends received from a
real estate investment trust subsidiary (REIT). A total after-tax liability of
$5.1 million was accrued in the first quarter of 2003, representing an estimate
of the additional state tax liability of $7.1 million and including interest
expense of $802,000. The net loss represents a decrease of $6.5 million compared
to 2002 results. In 2003, basic and diluted earnings per share of $(.17)
represent a decrease of $.76 and $.75, respectively, for basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share when compared to 2002 results.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SELECTED PERIOD-END ASSETS,
LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL
The Company had $1.33 billion consolidated total assets, $946.5 million
deposits and $111.9 million in stockholders' equity at March 31, 2003. Its
capital to assets ratio was 8.41%, exceeding all regulatory requirements. As
compared to reported balances at December 31, 2002, gross loans decreased $26.2
million or 3.26%, deposits increased $4.3 million or .45% and borrowed funds
decreased $138.9 million or 35.3%.

========= =========
As shown in the table above, total loans decreased $26.2 million or 3.3%
to $775.2 million at March 31, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002, with
balanced growth between commercial loans and equity lines of credit, up $6.0 and
$3.3 million, respectively. New residential mortgage originations of $61.2
million fixed rate and $29.7 million adjustable rate were achieved in the first
quarter 2003. During the same period, the Company sold $82.4 million residential
mortgages, producing net gains of $1.5 million.
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 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 $3.8 million or
..29% of total assets at March 31, 2003 compared to $2.8 million or .19% of total
assets at December 31, 2002. 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, unless the
loan is fully secured by real estate or other collateral and in the process of
collection.

Recoveries on loans previously charged off exceeded charge-offs therefore
management determined that additions to the allowance for loan losses were
unnecessary in 2003. The allowance represented 1.62% of total loans at March 31,
2003, 1.55% at December 31, 2002, and 1.40% at March 31, 2002. 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 March 31, 2003, there can be no assurance that the allowance is
adequate or that additional provisions might not become necessary.
The Company had outstanding commitments to originate new residential and
commercial mortgages of $34.5 million at March 31, 2003 and $44.0 million at
December 31, 2002 which are not reflected on the consolidated statement of
financial condition. Additional unadvanced loan funds are summarized as follows
for the indicated periods:

Reflecting somewhat the seasonal nature of the Cape Cod economy as
discussed in "Liquidity" on page 15 herein, total deposits at March 31, 2003 are
$4.3 million or .45% higher than total deposits at December 31, 2002. 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 March 31,
2003, borrowed funds totaled $259.0 million, down 34.9% or $138.9 million
compared to borrowed funds at December 31, 2002.
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 July 31, 2006.
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 balance sheets 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 8.41% at March 31, 2003 compared
to 7.99% at December 31, 2002.
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 March 31, 2003.
Minimum March 31, 2003
Regulatory -------------------
Guidelines Company Bank
---------- ------- ----
Tier 1 leverage capital 4.00% 8.16% 8.10%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 4.00% 10.76% 10.67%
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 8.00% 11.96% 11.88%
The Company's book value at March 31, 2003 was $13.17 per share compared
to $13.79 per share at December 31, 2002.
LIQUIDITY
The Company normally experiences changes 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 spring.
In general, investment securities could also 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.

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (cont.)
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 fee income growth from increasing customer
relationship cross-selling.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For a discussion of the Company's management of market risk exposure, see
"Asset/Liability Management" in Item 2 of Part I of this report and Item 7A of
Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002 (the "2002 Annual Report").
For quantitative information about market risk, see Item 7A of Part II of
the Company's 2002 Annual Report.
There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative
disclosures about market risk as of March 31, 2003 from those presented in the
Company's 2002 Annual Report.
