GENERAL The accounting and reporting policies of Fidelity Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust (the "Bank") conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to predominant practices within the thrift industry. The Company has not changed its accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company conducts no business other than holding the common stock of the Bank. Consequently, its net income is derived from the operations of the Bank. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 2001 and the results of its consolidated operations and cash flows for the period then ended, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The Statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a foreign currency hedge. Entities may reclassify securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category at the time of adopting SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2000 and, accordingly, would apply to the Company beginning on January 1, 2001. The Company has not engaged in derivatives and hedging activities covered by the new standard, and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. As stated in the previous paragraph, the Company has not engaged in derivative and hedging activities covered by this standard and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which replaces the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. The statement also requires reclassification of financial assets pledged as collateral in the statement of financial position separately from other assets not so encumbered or disclosure of such assets in footnotes to the financial statements based on certain criteria. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after June 30, 2001. This statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. <page> In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not yet determined the impact, of any, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the September 30, 2001 presentation. 2. REORGANIZATION AND SECOND STEP CONVERSION The Company completed the mutual-to-stock conversion of its mutual holding company parent on May 15, 2001 and the related common stock offering resulted in the Company selling 8,695,943 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share to certain customers of Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, its benefit plans, including the employee stock ownership plan, and to existing public stockholders of Fidelity Bankshares, Inc. In addition, 7,048,207 shares were issued to the existing stockholders based on an exchange rate of 2.4165 new shares of common stock for each existing share. At the completion of the conversion, the Company had 15,744,150 shares outstanding The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with no subsequent change in the historical basis of the Company's assets, liabilities and equity. All references in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to share data (including number of shares and per-share amounts) have been restated giving retroactive recognition to the exchange rate. 3.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General. Fidelity Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") is the parent company of Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust ("Fidelity Federal" or the "Bank"). The Company conducts no business other than holding the common stock of the Bank. Consequently, its net income is derived from the Bank. The Bank's net income is primarily dependent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its investments in mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, other investment securities and loans, and its cost of funds consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The Bank's net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as by the amount of other income, including income from fees and service charges, net gains and losses on sales of investments, and operating expense such as employee compensation and benefits, deposit insurance premiums, occupancy and equipment costs, and income taxes. Earnings of the Bank also are affected significantly by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities, which events are beyond the control of the Bank. In particular, the general level of market interest rates tends to be highly cyclical. Forward-Looking Statements. When used in this report, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. Recent Developments. The Company completed the mutual-to-stock conversion of its mutual holding company parent on May 15, 2001 and the related common stock offering resulted in the Company selling 8,695,943 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share to certain customers of Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, its benefit plans, including the employee stock ownership plan, and to existing public stockholders of Fidelity Bankshares, Inc. In addition, 7,048,207 shares were issued to the existing stockholders based on an exchange rate of 2.4165 new shares of common stock for each existing share. At the completion of the conversion, the company had 15,744,150 shares outstanding The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with no subsequent change in the historical basis of the Company's assets, liabilities and equity. All references in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto to share data (including number of shares and per-share amounts) have been restated giving retroactive recognition to the exchange rate. Other Comprehensive Income/Loss. Other Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $3.8 million, representing an increase of $5.1 million compared to the same 2000 period. This increase in income resulted from an increase in the market value of assets classified as available for sale which was caused by a decrease in market interest rates for comparable instruments. Other Comprehensive Income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $1.6 million, representing an increase of $537,000 compared to the same 2000 period. This increase in the income resulted from an increase in the market value of assets classified as available for sale which was caused by a decrease in market interest rates for comparable instruments. <page> Changes in Financial Condition. The Company's assets increased by $179.0 million to $2.1 billion at September 30, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. Net loans receivable increased by $151.1 million, while cash and assets available for sale increased by $24.7 million. In addition, the Bank increased its investment in office properties and equipment, primarily for new office sites, by $6.6 million, while all other assets decreased by $3.5 million. Funds for the increase in assets were provided primarily as a result of the completion of the mutual-to-stock conversion and related common stock offering which raised $79.5 million, net of issuance costs. Also the Bank increased its deposits by $64.4 million, together with increases in other liabilities, principally other borrowed funds, of $29.2 million The Company's equity at September 30, 2001 increased by $85.4 million from December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the net conversion proceeds of $79.5 million. Other Comprehensive Income increased by $5.1 million. Also affecting equity was net income for the nine months of $4.2 million, which was offset by dividends declared of $3.8 million. Results of Operations. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $4.2 million, representing a decrease of $2.4 million compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2000. One of the primary reasons for this decrease, which are more fully described below, was a one-time charge of $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 relating to the Company's computer upgrade. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 included non-recurring income of approximately $2.4 million from the receipt of common stock in connection with the demutualization of the John Hancock Financial Services Company. The provision for loan losses increased by $461,000 in September 2001 compared to 2000. A decrease in provision for income taxes of $1.4 million offset these amounts. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $2.3 million, representing an increase of $466,000 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2000. This increase, which is more fully described below, was principally the result of an increase in net interest income of $3.2 million. Offsetting this increase was an increase in operating expense of $2.4 million, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $395,000. Interest Income. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, totaled $104.2 million, representing an increase of $6.7 million or 6.9% compared to the same period in 2000. The Bank's interest income from loans increased by $10.5 million, primarily as a result of an increase of 14.6% in the average balance of loans to $1.4 billion from $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income from investment securities also increased to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $2.9 million for the 2000 period. This increase was due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $30.6 million, which was slightly offset by a decrease in the average yield of such securities to 6.13% in 2001 from 6.88% in 2000. Another contributing factor was an increase in other investments of $139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the 2000 period. Offsetting these increases was a decline in interest income from mortgage-backed and other securities of $5.0 million principally resulting from a decrease in the average balance of these securities to $303.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $357.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, totaled $34.7 million, representing an increase of $248,000 or .72% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The primary reason for this increase was an increase in the Bank's interest income from loans of $2.8 million, which resulted from an increase of 18.6% in the average balance of loans to $1.5 billion from $1.3 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest income from investment securities also increased to $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.3 million for the 2000 quarter. This increase was due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities of $30.6 million, which was slightly offset by a decrease in the average yield of such securities to 5.82% in 2001 from 7.17% in 2000. Offsetting these increases, interest income from mortgage-backed and other securities decreased by $2.3 million as the average balance of these securities declined to $286.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $347.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Interest income also decreased on other investments by $392,000 to $573,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $965,000 for the same quarter in 2000. <page> Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, totaled $64.6 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 3.3% from the same period in 2000. The principal cause for this increase was an increase in interest expense on deposits of $2.3 million. The average balance of deposits increased to $1.5 billion for the nine ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.4 billion for the same period in 2000, but the cost of those deposits declined to 4.28% compared to 4.49% for the same periods. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased by $238,000 caused primarily by a decrease in the average balance of such funds to $328.4 million from $330.9 million and a decrease in the average cost to 6.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 6.37% for the comparable 2000 period. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, totaled $19.7 million, a decrease of $2.9 million or 12.8% from the same quarter in 2000. The principal cause for this decrease was a decline in interest expense on deposits of $1.9 million. This resulted in the average yield on deposits decreasing to 3.81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to 4.69% for the same quarter in 2000. Also contributing, was a decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds of $992,000, as the average balance of such funds decreased to $330.5 million from $372.9 million and the average cost decreased to 6.18% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from 6.54% for the comparable 2000 quarter. Net Interest Income. While the Company's interest income increased by $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period in 2000, interest expense also increased by $2.1 million, resulting in net interest income of $39.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This represents a $4.6 million or 13.2% increase in net interest income when compared to the same period in 2000. . During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, the Company's interest income increased by $248,000 compared to the same quarter in 2000, while interest expense decreased by $2.9 million, resulting in net interest income of $15.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, $3.2 million or 26.7% more than realized in 2000. Provision for Loan Losses. Our provision for loan losses increased by $461,000 to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $928,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting the increased credit risk associated with increased originations of commercial real estate mortgages, consumer loans and commercial business loans along with an additional specific loan loss provision of $280,000 relating to a non-performing commercial loan credit. The Bank's total allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2001 of $6.2 million is maintained at a level that represents management's best estimate of losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date that were both probable and reasonably estimable. The Bank's ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .32% and .39% at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $483,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, compared to $363,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 also reflects the increased credit risk associated with increased originations of commercial real estate mortgages, consumer loans and commercial business loans. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, allowances for loan losses are based on management's estimate of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We provide both general valuation allowances (for unspecified, probable losses) and specific valuation allowances (for known losses) in our loan portfolio. General valuation allowances are added to the Bank's capital for purposes of computing the Bank's regulatory risk-based capital. We regularly review our loan portfolio, including impaired loans, to determine whether any loans require classification or the establishment of appropriate valuation allowances. Since we are increasing our origination of commercial business loans and commercial real estate mortgages and since such loans are deemed to have more credit risk than residential mortgage loans, our provision for loan losses is likely to increase in future periods. <page> Other Income. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $9.1 million, a decrease of $590,000 compared to the nine months period ended September 30, 2000. We received approximately $2.4 million of common stock in connection with the demutualization of John Hancock Financial Services during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. No such amounts were received in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, which results in a comparative decline in other income. The decline was partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in fees for other banking services as well as an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $866,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $3.2 million, an increase of $202,000 compared to the same quarter in 2000. This increase is principally due to increases in fees for other banking services of $408,000 and service charges on deposits of $279,000. Slightly offsetting these increases were decreases in gain on sale of loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities and other miscellaneous income of $460,000 and $25,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Operating Expense. Operating expenses increased by $7.3 million to $40.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we incurred a one-time charge of $1.1 million in other operating expense in connection with our plans to upgrade our data processing services. In addition, employee compensation and benefits increased by $3.3 million or 16.8%. This increase, which includes normal salary increases, was primarily due to the 11.8% increase in the number of full time equivalent employees from 553 at September 2000 to 618 at September 2001. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $1.2 million due in part to additional depreciation expenses relating to new computer equipment and new branch facilities. Also contributing to this increase were increases in marketing costs of $528,000 and other operating expense of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to 2000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, operating expenses increased by $2.4 million to $13.8 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2000. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $1.2 million. This increase as stated above, is due largely to the increase in the number of full time equivalent employees. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $511,000 due in part, as explained above, to additional depreciation expenses relating to new computer equipment and new branch facilities. Also contributing to this increase were increases in marketing costs of $179,000 and other operating expense of $507,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to 2000. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in gain on real estate owned of $20,000. Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in income before provision for income taxes of $3.8 million to $6.9 million in 2001 from $10.7 million in 2000. These expenses approximate the rates paid by the Company for Federal and state income taxes applied to the Company's pre-tax income. The income tax provision was $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. These expenses approximate the rates paid for Federal and state income taxes applied to the Company's pre-tax income. <page> Market Risk Analysis. As a holding company for a financial institution, the Company's primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Since the majority of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities and nearly all of the Company's interest-earning assets are held by the Bank, virtually all of the Company's interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed by management of the Bank. Based upon the nature of the Bank's operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Bank's loan portfolio is concentrated primarily in Palm Beach, Martin and Broward Counties in Florida and is therefore subject to risks associated with the local economy. As of September 30, 2001, the Company does not own any trading assets, other than $889,000 of assets held by the SMPIAP Trust which can be actively traded by and are held for the benefit of senior management. Income in these accounts accrues to and losses are solely absorbed by senior management. At September 30, 2001, the Company does not have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps and caps. Asset and Liability Management-Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature which subjects the Company to significant interest rate risk. As stated above, the majority of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities and nearly all of the Company's interest-earning assets are held by the Bank and therefore virtually all of the Company's interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. The Bank monitors interest rate risk by various methods including analyzing changes in its Market Value of Portfolio Equity ("MVPE"). MVPE is generally defined as the difference between the market value of the Bank's assets and the market value of the Bank's liabilities. The Bank uses an internal model that generates estimates of the Bank's MVPE over a range of interest rate scenarios. The model calculates MVPE essentially by discounting the cash flows from the Bank's assets and liabilities to present value using current market rates and adjusting those discount rates accordingly for various interest rate scenarios. The following table sets forth the Bank's estimated internal calculations of MVPE as of September 30, 2001. Changes in Rates Net Market Value of Portfolio Equity (Rate Shock) $ Amount $ Change %Change ---------------- ------------------------------------ +200bp 229,791 (40,706) (15.0%) +100bp 252,054 (18,443) ( 6.8%) -0- 270,497 - - -100bp 272,406 1,909 0.7% -200bp 268,820 (1,677) (0.6%) In preparing the MVPE table above, the Bank has estimated prepayment rates for its loans ranging from 8% to 22% depending on interest rate scenario. These rates are management's best estimate based on prior repayment experience. <page> Decay rates for liabilities indicate an assumed annual rate at which an interest-bearing liability will be withdrawn in favor of an account with a more favorable interest rate. Decay rates have been assumed for demand deposits, NOW accounts, passbook and money market deposits. During 1999, the Bank contracted with a third party consultant to perform an analysis of its core deposit accounts. The purpose of this analysis was to obtain an estimate of the actual deposit balance trends over various interest rate scenarios in the Bank's previous five years and to use that data to provide a forecast of future balance trends over various interest rate scenarios. The following decay rates are based on this analysis. 6 Months 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years Through Through Through Through Over 10 0-6 Months 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years Years ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now accounts .88% .88% .68% .67% 1.69% 100.00% Passbook, club accounts .00% .00% .27% .77% 10.29% 100.00% Money market deposit accounts 1.56% 1.56% .00% .00% 36.55% 100.00% The above assumptions are estimates of annual percentages based on remaining balances and while management believes these rates to be a reasonable analysis of future deposit trends based on past performance, they should not be regarded as indicative of the actual prepayments and withdrawals that may be experienced by the Bank in any given period. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in MVPE requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect how actual yields and costs respond to changes in market rates. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of or lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. Moreover, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may possibly deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the above table. Management has also made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, due to the fact that there is no quoted market for many of the assets and liabilities, management has no definitive basis to determine whether the fair values presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale. <page> Accordingly, while the above table provides an estimate of the Bank's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, it is not intended to provide a precise forecast of the effect of market changes on the Bank's MVPE and net interest income, as actual results may vary. Under OTS risk-based capital regulations, savings associations are required to calculate the MVPE. These calculations are based upon data concerning interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and other rate sensitive assets and liabilities provided to the OTS on schedule CMR of the quarterly Thrift Financial Report. Commencing June 30, 1994, for purposes of measuring interest rate risk, the OTS began using the MVPE calculations which essentially discount the cash flows from an institution's assets and liabilities to present value, using current market rates. There are significant differences between the Bank's internal assumptions used to calculate the previously presented MVPE and those used by the OTS. For example, the Bank's internal decay rates for NOW, passbook and money market accounts produce an average expected life for these instruments of 16.63 years, 12.45 years and 10.30 years, respectively. The OTS standard assumptions for these same instruments at December 31, 2000 result in an expected average life of 2.9 years, 3.3 years and 0.6 years, respectively. Accordingly, the Bank's previously presented MVPE calculations are not representative of those which would be produced by the OTS. The Bank's policy in recent years has been to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk generally by better matching the maturities of its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and by originating ARM loans and other adjustable rate or short-term loans, as well as by purchasing short-term investments. However, particularly in a low interest rate environment, borrowers typically prefer fixed rate loans to ARM loans. The Bank does not solicit high-rate jumbo certificates or brokered funds. Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which varies from time to time depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio currently is 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratio averaged 16.60% during the month of September 2001. Liquidity ratios averaged 18.48% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs of loan originations, deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes on mortgage loans, and repayment of borrowings and loan commitments. The Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet its asset and liability management objectives. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities and other short-term investments, as well as earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. In addition, the Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Short-term interest-bearing deposits with the FHLB of Atlanta amounted to $53.8 million at September 30, 2001. Other assets qualifying for liquidity at September 30, 2001, including unpledged mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, were $236.7 million. For additional information about cash flows from the Company's operating, financing and investing activities, see Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Financial Statements. The primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, increases in deposit accounts and advances from the FHLB. <page> Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. At September 30, 2001, the Bank had $257.0 million in advances from the FHLB. At September 30, 2001, the Bank had commitments outstanding to originate or purchase loans of $165.3 million. This amount does not include the unfunded portion of loans in process. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at September 30, 2001, totaled $711.1 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. FASB Statement on Derivatives and Hedging Activities - In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The Statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a foreign currency hedge. Entities may reclassify securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category at the time of adopting SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2000 and, accordingly, would apply to the Company beginning on January 1, 2001. The Company has not engaged in derivatives and hedging activities covered by the new standard, and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities. As stated in the previous paragraph, the Company has not engaged in derivative and hedging activities covered by this standard and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 138 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which replaces the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on a financial-components approach that focuses on control. The statement also requires reclassification of financial assets pledged as collateral in the statement of financial position separately from other assets not so encumbered or disclosure of such assets in footnotes to the financial statements based on certain criteria. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after June 30, 2001. This statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not yet determined the impact, of any, the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. <page> FIDELITY BANKSHARES, INC.
