This investment in the future of our Associates will help to assure 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 by focusing on the personal and professional development of the real source of our success, our Great People. What a remarkable year 1997 was. It was a truly successful year and reflects well on our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE operating philosophy and our Great People. Our Basic Corporate Objective is To Maximize The Value Of Our Shareholders' Investment. And, in that regard, 1997 was a remarkably rewarding year, with our stock price up 60%, following an increase of 56% for fiscal 1996. Since becoming a publicly owned company in 1990, Coastal Financial Corporation's stock has grown at a compound annual rate of over 54%, taking our market capitalization from $4.6 million in October 1990, the date of our initial public offering, to $106.3 million at the close of this fiscal year. Put another way, an initial investment of $1,000 in October of 1990 would have grown to $21,700 at September 30, 1997. The attainment of our Basic Corporate Objective is correlated closely with our Long-Term Goal of Being The Best Financial Services Company In Our Marketplace. Evidence of our success in this measure is reflected in our record earnings and Coastal Federal's continued #1 ranking, by the 1997 SHESHUNOFF MARKET SHARE REPORT, in deposit market share for Horry County, South Carolina, the second fastest growing Metropolitan Statistical Area in the nation. 1997 marked the continuation of increased dividends for each consecutive year since 1992, the year we began paying cash dividends. Net income for 1997 totaled $5.8 million, an increase of 23% over our record operating earnings performance of 1996. Since 1990, our operating earnings have increased at a compound annualized rate in excess of 16%. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Noteworthy Financial Results for Fiscal 1997: o The market price of Coastal Financial Corporation's stock increased 60%. This compares with an 37.2% increase in the NASDAQ Bank Index during the same period. oThe value of Coastal Financial Corporation's common stock has grown at a compound annual rate of over 51% during the past five years. o An increase of 9.1% in cash dividends paid per common share. o The payment of a 4 for 3 stock split in the form of a 33% stock dividend. 3 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] oNet earnings of $5.8 million or $1.19 per share. Net operating earnings for fiscal 1997 increased 23% over the prior year. o Shareholders' equity advanced 17.0% to $32.4 million. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] o Book value per share grew 15.6% to $6.97 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] o A 7.5% growth in total assets to $494.0 million. o Loans receivable increased 9.0% to $403.6 million. o Deposits were up 10.7% to the highest level in the Com- pany's history. o Transaction deposits grew by 18.8% in fiscal 1997. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] o Non-performing Assets to Total Assets decreased 41.2% to 0.10%. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] o Allowance for Loan Losses to Net Loans increased to 1.19%. o The Company had Loan Charge Offs of .04% in 1997. 4 One of the best indicators of performance is Return On Average Equity and this ratio for 1997 was, again, outstanding. Our Return On Average Equity measure of 19.4% ranks us among the top performing financial services companies in the nation. We are extremely proud of the performance evidenced by these results and are especially proud of the Great People who worked so hard to achieve them. 1997. . . OUR BEST YEAR YET [GRAPHIC OMITTED] This year was remarkable in terms of the dramatic gains we achieved in both Shareholder value and operating earnings. The restructuring of our operating environment to create a stronger focus on the sales and marketing of financial services in fiscal 1996 has continued to pay significant dividends, particularly in the areas of loan, deposit and investment product sales. Our financial performance during fiscal 1997 again met our high expectations and well positions us to aggressively pursue future opportunities. Since becoming a publicly owned company in 1990, we have achieved dramatic gains in virtually all measures of our performance. But, despite these historical results, it's the future that we are most interested in. As our performance continues to accelerate, the question we continually ask ourselves is, "Can we keep it up?" The future looks good. That is not to say the future is without challenge. But with Great People, excellent products, great markets, strong financial resources and our philosophy of viewing change and constant improvement as essential to the achievement of our long-term objectives, we are confident that the answer is an unequivocal "Yes." Those attributes really set us apart from the competition, and enabled another record performance during 1997. A LOOK AT 1997 While 1997 really was quite a remarkable year for Coastal Financial from a financial performance perspective, the financial results are only partially indicative of the real growth we experienced this past year. Some of the initiatives and achievements aimed at increasing the value of the Company and maximizing our ability to capitalize on opportunities in the years ahead were: oThe creation of Coastal Federal University to assure that we remain on the cutting edge of professional development education programs. In support of that initiative and our overall growth needs, we have recently acquired the Mall Plaza property just across Oak Street from our Corporate Offices. The addition of this 17,500 square foot facility, which currently houses our Coastal Federal University Main Campus, Human Resources, Marketing and Public Relations Groups, will provide space for our corporate facilities expansion needs well into the future. o The introduction of our "FLY FREE ON US...and more" line of Credit Cards. Through this recent offering, we have rounded out our core banking product offerings and have been extremely pleased with the degree of Customer enthusiasm for this valuable travel and gift awards program. 5 o The introduction of our internet web site at: http://www.coastalfederal.com. This addition allows us to offer information about our full array of financial services to technology users across the country and around the world, as well as providing a vehicle for the solicitation of on-line applications for financial services, general information about Coastal Federal and relocation packages. Our On-Line PC Banking program is currently in the final phases of testing and will be released in fiscal 1998. These initiatives are designed to allow technology users to benefit from our programs while encouraging all of our Customers to come into our lobbies and experience our commitment to providing exceptional banking services through the efforts of our warm, friendly and well trained professionals. oThe construction of a full service banking office in Brunswick County, North Carolina. This Sales Center, which is scheduled to open in early December, will better position us to expand our financial services offerings to the individuals and businesses of the rapidly growing and dynamic Brunswick County area. oThe expansion of our array of residential mortgage lending products coupled with a well conceived and executed advertising and marketing campaign, has increased our loan origination volume and further supported our commitment to being the leading provider of residential mortgage loans in each of the markets we serve. oOur leadership role in serving as the Major Corporate Sponsor for the Horry County March of Dimes WalkAmerica Campaign For Healthier Babies continued to evidence our support for the communities we serve. In addition to this initiative, we encourage our Associates to be involved in other civic and charitable events to further support the needs of the communities we serve. Each year, Coastal Financial Corporation and its Great People, give generously of their time, talents and financial resources in support of hundreds of community organizations which contribute significantly to the quality of life, health and welfare of our neighborhoods. Our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE operating philosophy, which is embodied in our culture of viewing change and constant improvement as essential to the achievement of our long-term objectives, is well reflected in these initiatives. GREAT PEOPLE Coastal Financial has more than 200 Great People, and they are the reason for our success. Their dedication and ever increasing ability to work together as a team toward Exceeding The Expectations Of Our Customers gives us the confidence that, together, we can do anything. Several years ago, we recognized the valuable [GRAPHIC OMITTED] role that each of our Career Associates plays in our organization by offering a 401-k profit sharing plan to our Associates. Many have taken advantage of this opportunity and today, thanks to the results that we, as a team, have achieved, this plan is one of the most appreciated parts of our excellent benefits package. The introduction of Coastal Federal University further recognizes the significant capabilities of each of our Great People and, through this initiative, we will challenge them to achieve their full potential. By teaching Coastal Financial Corporation's core philosophies and successful business strategies to our Associates, we will, as an organization, be well prepared for the 21st century. This initiative will reinforce our commitment to the philosophies which 6 have made us unique and successful, allow our Associates the opportunity to become much more valuable to the organization, position us to deliver even greater service to our Customers and, ultimately, create enhanced value to our Shareholders, many of whom are our Associates. [GRAPHIC OMITTED] COASTAL FEDERAL UNIVERSITY Sir Francis Bacon once said, "A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds." For our Associates, taking advantage of the educational opportunities afforded by Coastal Federal University is one very good way of assuring that. Coastal Federal University, with its focus on our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE operating philosophy, will continue our journey toward building a culture which is "Totally Committed To Exceeding The Expectations Of Our Customer" by offering unique, innovative and powerful professional development opportunities. Here, our Great People can experience a stimulating community of people and ideas, offering a rich variety of professional development and enrichment experiences. Through enrolling in the programs offered through Coastal Federal University, they will learn about Service, Teamwork, Operations, Leadership, Management, our Corporate Philosophy and innovative ways to make our business even more successful. Our curriculums will stress development of the skills required for their success over a career in business and will, in addition to preparing our Associates to be Career Associates, prepare them to continue to learn over those careers. We are extremely excited about this initiative and believe that it demonstrates that we are not complacent about, nor satisfied with our current success, but, rather, are dedicating ourselves to building an even stronger foundation for the future. COASTAL FINANCIAL'S FUTURE Looking ahead, we see a future filled with even more opportunity than the past and firmly believe that we can achieve our Corporate goals if we maintain our values and continually renew ourselves and our business. Our pledge to our Shareholders is to do exactly that...to do everything in our power to remain youthful in our approach and spirit...and continue to view change and constant improvement as the catalyst for reaching our fullest potential. I just can't thank our Great People enough. Our Board Of Directors, Leadership Group and Associates are simply the best imaginable. They go above and beyond the call of duty in serving our Customers every day and are totally committed to Exceeding their Expectations on every occasion. Our QUEST FOR EXCELLENCE operating philosophy, our Great People and our commitment to helping each of them achieve their full potential through Coastal Federal University...we believe it's the best formula possible to assure a great 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. /S/Michael C. Gerald -------------------- Michael C. Gerald President 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS General Coastal Financial Corporation (the "Company"), reported $5.8 million in net income for the year ended September 30, 1997, compared to $3.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. Net earnings for the year ended September 30, 1996 included a special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of $1.6 million, and a related reduction in income taxes of $615,000. Excluding the one-time SAIF assessment in fiscal 1996, operating earnings in fiscal 1997 increased 23% over fiscal 1996. Net interest income increased $2.3 million as a result of increased interest income of $3.3 million offset by an increase of $1.1 million in interest expense. Provision for loan losses decreased slightly from $790,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996, to $760,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997. Other income increased slightly from $4.6 million in fiscal 1996, to $4.7 million in 1997. General and administrative expenses decreased $870,000 for fiscal 1997, as compared to fiscal 1996. Included in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996, is a $1.6 million special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF Insurance Fund. Total assets increased from $459.7 million at September 30, 1996 to $494.0 million at September 30, 1997, or 7.5%. Liquid assets, consisting of cash, interest-bearing deposits, and securities, decreased from $65.3 million at September 30, 1996 to $62.6 million at September 30, 1997. Loans receivable increased 9.0% from $370.4 million at September 30, 1996, to $403.6 million at September 30, 1997. Total loan originations for fiscal 1997 were $178.5 million as compared to $160.4 million for fiscal 1996. Mortgage-backed securities decreased from $27.0 million at September 30, 1996, to $23.0 million at September 30, 1997. The growth in loans was funded by increased deposits of $33.7 million and loan repayments. The Company's strategy is to increase its reliance on core transaction deposits as opposed to certificates of deposit and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). During fiscal 1997, deposits increased from $313.4 million at September 30, 1996, to $347.1 million at September 30, 1997. During this same period, transaction deposits increased $26.4 million and certificate accounts increased $10.6 million. As a result of $5.8 million in net earnings, less the cash dividends paid to shareholders of approximately $1.6 million, stockholders' equity increased from $27.7 million at September 30, 1996 to $32.4 million at September 30, 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources In accordance with OTS regulations, the Company is required to maintain specific levels of cash and liquid investments in qualifying types of United States treasury and Federal agency securities and other investments generally having maturities of five years or less. The required level of such investments is calculated on a liquidity base, consisting of net withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings, and is equal to 5.0% of such base amount. Short-term liquid assets may not be less than 1.0% of the liquidity base. 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 liquidity ratio, as calculated for regulatory purposes, was 7.3%, 8.0%, and 6.1% for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company expects to continue to maintain liquidity at approximately the same level as 1997. 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 and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta. The principal use of cash flows is the origination of loans receivable. The Company originated loans receivable of $141.0 million, $160.4 million and $178.5 million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. A large portion of these loan originations were financed through loan principal repayments which amounted to $104.2 million, $93.6 million and $109.9 million for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. In addition, the Company has sold certain loans in the secondary market to finance future loan originations. The increase in originations and sales of mortgage loans can be primarily attributed to the purchase of Coastal Federal Mortgage ("CFM"), in November 1995. CFM specializes in originating conforming mortgage loans which are then sold to correspondent financial institutions. For the year ended September 30, 1997, CFM originated $40.6 million of loans and sold $38.4 million of loans. For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company sold loans amounting to $2.8 million, $40.7 million and $44.2 million, respectively. During 1997, the Company used deposit growth to fund the majority of its loan growth. In fiscal 1997, deposits increased from $313.4 million at September 30, 1996, to $347.1 million at September 30, 1997. The increase was attributed to transaction accounts which increased approximately $26.4 million, and certificate accounts which increased $10.6 million. This was offset by a decrease in passbook accounts of $3.4 million. At September 30, 1997, the Company had commitments to originate $3.2 million in loans and $31.4 million in unused lines of credit, which the Company expects to fund from normal operations. At September 30, 1997, the Company had $111.9 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. Additionally, at September 30, 1997, the Company had excess collateral pledged to the FHLB which would support additional FHLB advance borrowings of $59.0 million. 8 As a condition of deposit insurance, current FDIC regulations require that Coastal Federal Savings Bank (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 $31.2 million at September 30, 1997, exceeding the Bank's tangible and core requirements by $23.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's capital exceeded its current risk-based minimum capital requirement by $9.6 million. The risk-based capital requirement may increase in the future. Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 General Net earnings were $5.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared to $3.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. Included in net earnings for 1996, is a special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF of $1.6 million, and a related reduction in income taxes of $615,000. Excluding this special assessment, net income increased 23% in 1997. Net interest income increased $2.3 million primarily as a result of an increase in interest income of $3.3 million which was offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million. Interest Income Interest income for the year ended September 30, 1997, increased 9.6% to $38.1 million as compared to $34.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to the constant yield on assets and a 8.9% increase in average interest-earning assets. The net yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 was 8.46%. The average yield on loans receivable for fiscal year 1997 was 8.70% compared to 8.57% in 1996. The increase in yield on loans receivables resulted from the repricing of teaser rate ARMs originated in previous years and the continued growth of the commercial real estate loan portfolio which has a higher yield than the mortgage loan portfolio. The yield on investments which includes Investments, Overnight Funds and Federal Funds, increased to 6.70% for the fiscal year 1997 from 6.55% for fiscal year 1996. Total interest-earning assets for fiscal year 1997 averaged $452.5 million compared to $415.5 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. Interest Expense Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $20.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $19.1 million in fiscal 1996. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.57% for the year ended September 30, 1997, compared to 4.70% in fiscal year 1996. The increase in interest expense of 5.5% primarily resulted from a growth in deposits and a slight increase in overall market rates paid on deposits. The average cost of deposits for the year ended September 30, 1997, was 4.15% compared to 4.08% for the year ended September 30, 1996. The cost of FHLB advances for fiscal 1997 was 5.95% compared to 6.27% for fiscal 1996. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased 8.0% from $406.2 million at September 30, 1996, to $438.6 million at September 30, 1997. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $17.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1997, compared to $15.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. The net interest margin increased to 3.89% for fiscal 1997 compared to 3.76% for fiscal 1996. Average interest-earning assets increased $37.0 million while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $32.4 million. At September 30, 1997, the yield on the one year treasury security was approximately 5.5%, compared to approximately 6.1% which was the yield on the 10 year treasury security. Should the yield curve continue to remain relatively flat, the Company may continue to experience a high amount of mortgage loan repayments and refinancings and may experience a declining net interest margin in fiscal 1998. Provision for Loan Losses The Company's provision for loan losses decreased slightly from $790,000 for fiscal 1996 to $760,000 for fiscal 1997. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.19% at September 30, 1997, compared to 1.11% at September 30, 1996. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were .06% of total loans at September 30, 1997, compared to .12% at September 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses was 1,906% of loans delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 1997, compared to 938% at September 30, 1996. 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 1997, total other income increased slightly from $4.6 million for the period ended September 30, 1996, to $4.7 million for the period ended September 30, 1997. Fees and service charges on loans and deposit accounts increased $178,000, or 12.6%, for the year ended September 30, 1997, as a result of growth in core deposits and loans. Income from real estate operations decreased $204,000 from the prior fiscal year due to expenses related to a real estate owned commercial property. This was partially offset by a gain on a land sale that occurred 9 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 by one of the Bank's subsidiaries. Other income increased from $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1996, to $1.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 primarily as a result of increased fees related to ATM and debit card transactions. Other Expense General and administrative expenses were $12.7 million for fiscal 1997 as compared to $13.6 million for fiscal 1996. Included in general and administrative expense in 1996 is the $1.6 million assessment for capitalization of the SAIF. Salaries and employee benefits were $6.8 million for fiscal 1997 as compared to $6.2 million for fiscal 1996, or a 10.8% increase. Approximately a third of this increase is attributable to increased group insurance costs, 401K benefits, and increased bonuses and incentives due to increased return on equity and increased loan production. Normal salary increases and increased lending personnel accounted for a significant portion of the remaining increase. Net occupancy, furniture and fixtures and data processing expense increased $60,000 for fiscal 1997, as compared to fiscal 1996. FDIC insurance premiums decreased from $622,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $283,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997 as a result of the SAIF assessment paid in fiscal 1996. Other expenses increased from $2.3 million in 1996 to $2.7 million in 1997. This increase is primarily related to increased marketing expense, legal fees, employment services, expenses related to debit cards and expenses related to transaction accounts. Income Taxes Income taxes increased from $2.2 million in fiscal 1996 to $3.4 million in fiscal 1997 as a result of increased earnings before income taxes. Results of Operations Comparison of the Years Ended September 30, 1995 and 1996 General Net earnings were $3.7 million for the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996. Included in net earnings for 1996, is a special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF of $1,620,000, and a related reduction in income taxes of $615,000. Excluding this special assessment, net income increased 27.0% in 1996. Net interest income increased $2.6 million primarily as a result of an increase in interest income of $4.4 million which was offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.8 million. Provision for loan losses increased $588,000. Other income increased from $3.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1995, to $4.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. General and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million when compared to fiscal 1995. Included in general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996, is a $1.6 million special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF Insurance Fund. Interest Income Interest income for the year ended September 30, 1996, increased 14.5% to $34.7 million as compared to $30.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1995 primarily due to the increased yield on assets and a 11.7% increase in average interest-earning assets. The net yield on interest-earning assets for the year ended September 30, 1996, was 8.46% compared to a net yield of 8.27% in the prior year. The increase in net yield primarily resulted from the repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans and growth in commercial real estate loans which have a higher yield. The average yield on loans receivable for fiscal year 1996 was 8.57% compared to 8.39% in 1995. The yield on investments which includes Investments, Overnight Funds and Federal Funds, increased to 6.55% for the fiscal year 1996 from 5.14% for fiscal year 1995. Total interest-earning assets for fiscal year 1996 averaged $406.2 million compared to $371.9 million for the year ended September 30, 1995. Interest Expense Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $19.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $17.3 million in fiscal 1995. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.70% for the year ended September 30, 1996, compared to 4.75% in fiscal year 1995. The increase in interest expense of 10.5% primarily resulted from a growth in deposits and a slight increase in overall market rates paid on deposits. The average cost of deposits for the year ended September 30, 1996, was 4.08% compared to 3.96% for the year ended September 30, 1995. The cost of FHLB advances for fiscal 1996 was 6.27% compared to 6.53% for fiscal 1995. Total average interest-bearing liabilities increased 11.7% from $363.7 million at September 30, 1995, to $406.2 million at September 30, 1996. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $15.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1996, compared to $13.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1995. The net interest margin increased to 3.76% for fiscal 1996 compared to 3.52% for fiscal 1995. Average interest-earning assets increased $43.5 million while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $42.4 million. At September 30, 1996, the cost of one month advances was approximately 5.5%, compared to approximately 6.7% which was the yield on the 10 year treasury security. Should the yield curve continue to remain relatively flat, the Company may continue to experience a high amount of loan prepayments and refinancings and may experience a declining net interest margin in fiscal 1997. 10 Provision for Loan Losses The Company's provision for loan losses increased from $202,000 for fiscal 1995 to $790,000 for fiscal 1996. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.11% at September 30, 1996, compared to 1.00% at September 30, 1995. During fiscal 1996, commercial real estate and construction loans increased 16.3%. As a result of the increase in loans which may possess a higher degree of risk, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were .12% of total loans at September 30, 1996, compared to .37% at September 30, 1995. The allowance for loan losses was 937% of loans delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 1996, compared to 270% at September 30, 1995. 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 1996, total other income increased to $4.6 million as compared to $3.3 million for the period ended September 30, 1995. Fees and service charges on loans and deposit accounts increased $364,000 for the year ended September 30, 1996, as a result of growth in core deposits and loans. Income from real estate operations decreased $531,000 from the prior fiscal year due to reduced sales of real estate at the Bank's subsidiaries. This was offset by increased gains on sales of loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities of $951,000 and $189,000, respectively, primarily due to increased mortgage banking activities of CFM which was acquired in November 1995. Other income increased from $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1995, to $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1996. The increase is attributed to an increase of fee income from ATMs of $85,000, fee income from debit cards of $53,000, gains on the sale of assets of $44,000, miscellaneous income of $44,000 and higher revenues from sales of alternative investment products at the Company's subsidiary, Coastal Investments Corporation, of $154,000. Other Expense General and administrative expenses were $13.6 million for fiscal 1996 as compared to $10.2 million for fiscal 1995. Salaries and employee benefits were $6.2 million for fiscal 1996 as compared to $5.3 million for fiscal 1995, or a 16.3% increase. Approximately a third of this increase is attributable to increased group insurance costs, 401K benefits, and increased bonuses and incentives. In addition, personnel at CFM accounted for approximately a third of the increase. Normal salary increases and increased lending personnel accounted for a significant portion of the remaining increase. Net occupancy, furniture and fixtures and data processing expense increased $498,000 for fiscal 1996, as compared to fiscal 1995 primarily as a result of enhancements to technology and the addition of CFM. FDIC insurance premiums, excluding the special SAIF assessment, increased from $566,000 for fiscal 1995, to $622,000 for fiscal 1996 as a result of the 14.8% growth in deposits. Other expenses increased from $1.9 million in 1995 to $2.3 million in 1996. In addition, in 1996 the Company recorded a special assessment from the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF of $1,620,000. Income Taxes Although fiscal 1996 net income was slightly higher than fiscal 1995, income taxes were slightly lower due to increased tax exempt interest. Non-performing Assets Non-performing assets were $507,000 at September 30, 1997 compared to $768,000 at September 30, 1996. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased from $445,000 at September 30, 1996, to $257,000 at September 30, 1997. Real estate acquired through foreclosure decreased from $323,000 at September 30, 1996, to $250,000 at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997, approximately 40% of the loans 90 days past due are secured by residential mortgage loans. 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 considered to be on a non-accrual basis. 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, 1995, 1996 and 1997, of $202,000, $790,000 and $760,000, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company had net charge-offs (recoveries) of ($23,000), $196,000 and $140,000, respectively. At September 30, 1997, the Company had an allowance for loan losses of $4.9 million, which was 1.19% of net loans compared to 1.11% at September 30, 1996. 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 11 to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for possible loan losses are subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject to adjustment upon their examination. Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share (EPS), which is effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. This statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, Earnings per Share. The purpose of this statement is to simplify current reporting and make U.S. reporting comparable to international standards. The statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex capital structures (as defined by the statement). The Company anticipates that adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on EPS. Also, in February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of information about Capital Structure, which is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, l997. This statement applies to both public and nonpublic entities. The new statement requires no change for entities subject to the existing requirements. The Company anticipates that adoption of the standard will not have a material affect on the Company. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Enterprises are required to classify items of "other comprehensive income" by their nature in the financial statement and display the balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for both interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is permitted. Comparative financial statements provided for earlier periods are required to be reclassified to reflect the provisions of this statement. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way public business enterprises are to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is encouraged. In the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years is to be restated, unless it is impractical to do so. SFAS No. 131 need not be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but comparative information for interim periods in the initial year of application shall be reported in financial statements for interim periods in the second year of application. It is not anticipated that this standard will materially effect the Company. 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. 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 the Company's 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), absence of unforeseen changes in the Company's markets, legal and regulatory changes, and general changes in economy (particularly in the markets served by the Company). 12 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, 1996 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1997. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. 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. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ------------------------ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Greenville, South Carolina October 17, 1997 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION September 30, 1996 and 1997 1996 1997 ASSETS ------------ ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Cash and amounts due from banks ...................................................... $ 15,639 $ 12,852 Short-term interest-bearing deposits ................................................ 5,222 559 Investment securities held to maturity (market value of $332 at September 30, 1996) ... 330 -- Investment securities available for sale ............................................. 17,141 26,171 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale ....................................... 27,029 23,023 Loans receivable (net of allowance for loan losses of $4,172 at September 30, 1996 and $4,902 at September 30, 1997) ........................................................ 370,368 403,570 Loans receivable held for sale ...................................................... 6,803 8,359 Real estate acquired through foreclosure, net ....................................... 323 250 Office property and equipment, net ................................................... 5,736 7,561 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, at cost .......................................... 5,228 5,618 Accrued interest receivable on loans ................................................ 2,444 2,814 Accrued interest receivable on investment securities ................................. 526 452 Other assets ........................................................................ 2,923 2,774 ---------- -------- $ 459,712 $494,003 ========== ======== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Liabilities: Deposits ........................................................................... 313,430 347,116 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ....................................... 3,365 2,666 Advances from FHLB .................................................................. 104,553 101,478 Other borrowings ..................................................................... 1,968 2,193 Drafts outstanding .................................................................. 1,922 1,018 Advances by borrowers for property taxes and insurance .............................. 1,435 1,409 Accrued interest payable ............................................................ 798 952 Other liabilities .................................................................. 4,560 4,780 ---------- -------- Total liabilities .................................................................. 432,031 461,612 ---------- -------- Stockholders' equity: Serial preferred stock, 1,000,000 shares authorized and unissued ..................... -- -- Common stock $.01 par value, 5,000,000 shares authorized; 4,590,155 shares at September 30, 1996 and 4,646,534 shares at September 30, 1997 issued and outstanding ................................. 46 46 Additional paid-in capital ......................................................... 8,698 8,698 Retained earnings, restricted ...................................................... 20,015 23,402 Treasury stock, at cost (54,161 and 9,760 shares, respectively) .....................

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 Investments Corporation and Coastal Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coastal Mortgage Bankers and Realty Co., Inc. (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shady Forest Development Corporation, Sherwood Development Corporation, Ridge Development Corporation, 501 Development Corporation, North Beach Investments, Inc. and North Strand Property Management, 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. The Company's subsidiaries operations consist primarily of the sales of financial products. (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. In November 1995, the FASB issued a guide to implementation of SFAS No. 115 on accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities which allows for the one time transfer of certain investments classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The Company reclassified its investments classified as held to maturity to the available for sale classification in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. 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. The Bank maintained liquid assets in excess of the amount required by regulations during all periods included in these consolidated financial statements. The required amount is 5% of the average daily balances of deposits and short-term borrowings. Liquid assets consist principally of cash, including time deposits and investment securities. (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 portfolios, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, loss experience, delinquency trends, and local and regional economic conditions. Management evaluates the carrying 18 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued 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 possible loan losses is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject to adjustment upon their examination. 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. Also on October 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS No. 118 amends SFAS No. 114 in the areas of disclosure requirements and methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan. Under SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, when the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement first to principal then to interest income. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone. Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off. (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, 1996 and 1997, the Company had approximately $6.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, in mortgage loans held for sale. The aggregate market value of loans receivable held for sale exceeded the aggregate carrying value at September 30, 1996 and 1997. (f) Real Estate Owned and Investments in Real Estate Partnerships Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, it is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less selling costs. Market values of real estate owned are reviewed regularly and allowances for losses are established when it is determined that the carrying value of real estate exceeds the fair value less selling costs. Costs relating to the development and improvement of such property are capitalized, whereas those costs relating to holding the property are charged to expense. Real estate purchased for development and sale and investments in real estate partnerships are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs directly related to such real estate are capitalized until construction required to bring these properties to a salable condition is completed. Capitalized costs include real estate taxes, interest, and other direct costs incurred during the improvement period. Gains on the sale of real estate purchased for development and sale are recorded at the time of sale provided certain criteria relating to property type, cash down payment, loan terms, and other factors are met. If these criteria are not met at the date of sale, the gain is deferred and recognized using the installment or cost recovery method until they are satisfied, at which time the remaining deferred gain is recorded as income. Market values of real estate purchased for development and sale are reviewed regularly and allowances for losses are established when the carrying value exceeds the estimated net realizable value. In determining the estimated net realizable value, the Company deducts from the estimated selling price the projected cost to complete and dispose of the property and the estimated cost (i.e. interest, property taxes, etc.) to hold the property to an expected date of sale. (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. 19 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (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 bases 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 items. A valuation allowance, if applicable, is established for deferred tax assets that may not be realized. (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. 125 "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 to 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 FDIC but are insured by a security interest in the security. The Company has classified these amounts separately from deposits. (n) Stock Based Compensation In 1996, the Company adopted 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 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 25 and has provided the required proforma disclosures. (o) Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or retained earnings as previously reported. 20 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (2) INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and market value of investment securities available for sale at September 30, 1996 is summarized as follows: 1996 --------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Gross Gains Losses Value ----------- ------------ ------------ ------- (In thousands) U.S. Government and agency obligations: Due within one year .................. $ -- -- -- -- Due after one but within five years 13,037 -- (150) 12,887 Due after five years ............... 4,297 -- (43) 4,254 ---------- ------------ ---- ------ $ 17,334 -- (193) 17,141 ========== ============ ==== ====== The amortized cost and market value of investment securities available for sale at September 30, 1997 is summarized as follows: 1997 --------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value ----------- ------------ ------------ ------- (In thousands) U.S. Government and agency obligations: Due within one year .................. $ -- -- -- -- Due after one but within five years 9,996 17 -- 10,013 Due after five years ............... 16,128 30 -- 16,158 --------- -- ------------ ------ $26,124 47 -- 26,171 ========= == ============ ====== There were no realized gains or losses during the year ended September 30, 1995.

For the year ended September 30, 1997, gross realized losses were $58,000 and gross realized gains were $65,000. Certain investment and mortgage-backed securities are pledged to secure other borrowed money and customer deposits in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.

However, because there is no active market for many of the above financial instruments, management believes such information is of limited value and has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented above would be indicative of the value which could be negotiated during an actual sale. Furthermore, this information is as of September 30, 1996 and 1997. Changes in market interest and prepayment rates since September 30, 1996 and 1997 would have significant impact on the fair value presented and should be considered when analyzing this financial data. A portion of the credit lines and commercial loans have interest rate floors which may increase the value of these loans. No increase in fair market value was assigned for these interest rate floors. At September 30, 1997, excluding single family home loans and the fact that the majority of the loan portfolio is located in the Company's immediate market area, there were no concentrations of loans in any type of industry, type of property, or to one borrower that exceeded 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio. The Company does have 190 loans aggregating approximately $9.7 million which were originated on individual income producing condominium units in two projects in which the Bank's subsidiaries were a partner. At September 30, 1997, one loan in the amount of $56,000 was over sixty days delinquent. The majority of these loans have been outstanding greater than four years and management does not believe that they represent a significant risk in the loan portfolio. Approximately $1.7 million of these loans have been sold to other financial institutions. At September 30, 1996 and 1997, the Company had commitments outstanding to originate loans totaling approximately $9.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, (excluding undisbursed portion of loans in process). Commitments on loan originations are made at prevailing market interest rates, and are generally limited to 60 days from date of application. Additionally, at September 30, 1996 and 1997, the Company had undisbursed lines of credit of approximately $32.0 million and $31.4 million, respectively. Loans serviced for the benefit of others amounted to approximately $110.7 million, $115.1 million and $104.5 million at September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. As disclosed in note 9, certain mortgage loans are pledged to secure advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"). (5) INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS The Bank's subsidiaries are general partners in real estate partnerships, with ownership interests ranging up to 50%, organized for the purposes of constructing and marketing residential real estate. Condensed combined financial information for the partnerships at or for the year ended at September 30 is summarized as follows: 1996 1997 ------ ----- (In thousands) Assets, net .............................. $113 25 ===== == Liabilities .............................. 5 1 ----- -- Partners' equity: Bank's subsidiaries ..................... 46 8 Others ................................. 62 16 ----- -- 108 24 ----- -- Liabilities and partners' equity ...... $113 25 ===== == 23 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (5) INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS -- Continued 1995 1996 1997 -------- --------- -------- (In thousands) Sales ....................................... $2,016 523 -- Cost of sales .............................. 885 140 -- ------- --- -- Gross profit on sales ..................... 1,131 383 -- Other (expense) income, net ............... 78 (223) (36) ------- ---- --- Net income ................................. $1,209 160 (36) ======= ==== === Bank's equity in partnership's income ...... $ 611 115 (12) ======= ==== === (6) OFFICE PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET Office property and equipment, net at September 30 consisted of the following: 1996 1997 --------- ------- (In thousands) Land .................................... $ 1,132 1,981 Building and improvements ............... 4,990 5,647 Furniture, fixtures and equipment ...... 5,964 7,105 -------- ----- 12,086 14,733 Less accumulated depreciation ......... 6,350 7,172 -------- ------ $ 5,736 7,561 ======== ====== The Company leases office space and various equipment.

At September 30, 1997, the excess first mortgage loan collateral pledged to the FHLB will support additional borrowings of approximately $59.0 million. The estimated fair value of the FHLB advances at September 30, 1996 and 1997 is $104.2 million and $101.0 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 $194,000 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 asset results from the current period deferred tax expense of $394,000. Income taxes of the Company 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: 1995 1996 1997 ------ ----- ------- (In thousands) Computed federal income taxes ......... $2,024 2,001 3,108 State tax, net of federal benefit ...... 201 173 247 Other, net .............................. 7 (10) (4) ------ ----- ----- Total income tax expense ............... $2,232 2,164 3,351 ====== ===== ===== 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 ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 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, 1996 and 1997 includes approximately $5,200,000 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 27 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (10) INCOME TAXES -- Continued a reduction in qualifying loan levels relative to the end of 1987, failure to meet the tax definition of a 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. (11) BENEFIT PLANS The Company participates in a multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. Separate actuarial valuations are not available for each participating employer, nor are plan assets segregated. Pension expense for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was minor. Plan assets exceeded the present value of accumulated plan benefits at June 30, 1997, the latest actuarial valuation date. The Company has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees. The Company matches employee contributions based upon the Company meeting certain return on equity operating results. Matching contributions made by the Company were approximately $28,000, $149,000 and $245,000 for fiscal years 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. (12) REGULATORY MATTERS At September 30, 1997, the Bank's loans-to-one borrower limit was approximately $5.2 million. At September 30, 1997, the Bank is in compliance with the core, tangible and risk-based capital requirements and loans-to-one borrower limits. On September 30, 1996, the Bank recorded a $1,620,000 special assessment to the FDIC for the recapitalization of the SAIF. Beginning January 1, 1997, the Bank began paying 6.4 cents per $100 of deposits insured. Previously the Bank had been paying approximately 23 cents per $100 of deposits insured. It is expected that the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") members and SAIF members will begin paying the same amount to the insurance fund in fiscal year 2000. The ability of the Company to pay dividends depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The regulatory requirements for the Bank and the Bank's compliance with such requirements at September 30, 1996 and 1997 is as follows.

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. The Bank is prohibited from declaring cash dividends or repurchasing its capital stock if it would cause a reduction in the Bank's net worth below either the liquidation account or the statutory net worth requirements set by the OTS. (14) EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997 are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common share equivalents outstanding during the year. Common share equivalents include, if applicable, dilutive stock option share equivalents determined by using the treasury stock method. All share and per share data have been retroactively restated for all common stock dividends. 29 COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued (15) STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company's stock option plan provides for stock options to be granted primarily to directors, officers and other key Associates. Options granted under the stock option plan may be incentive stock options or non-incentive stock options. The remaining shares of stock reserved for the stock option plan at September 30, 1997 amounted to approximately 253,000 shares. All outstanding options have been retroactively restated to reflect the effects of the common stock dividends. The stock option plan is administered by three non-management directors of the Company. At September 30, 1997, the Company had the following options outstanding: Options Average Options Available for Option Grant Date (Calendar Year) Granted Exercise Price Expiration Date - ---------------------------- --------- --------------- -------- ---------------- 1990 ............... 159,921 100% $ 1.07 2000 1991 ............... 6,651 100 1.47 2001 1992 ............... 23,872 100 2.83 2002 1994 ............... 23,985 60 9.17 2004 1995 ............... 162,493 40 9.07 2005 1996 ............... 66,642 20 15.19 2006 1997 ............... 41,245 -- 15.09 2007 During the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, options for 45,369, 76,863, and 60,473 shares, at an average of $1.07, $1.46, and $3.61 per share, respectively, were exercised.

Since these obligations are based on current market rates, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, 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. Further, the fair value estimates were calculated as of September 30, 1997. 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) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has a $8 million outstanding line of credit with a commercial bank. The line of credit is secured by 51% of the stock of the Bank. At September 30, 1997, the outstanding balance was $500,000. 34 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOARD OF DIRECTORS COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION DIRECTORS James C.
