UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002, the unaudited consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared by the management of First Community Bancshares, Inc. ("FCBI", the "Company", "Registrant" or the "Corporation"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of FCBI and subsidiaries at June 30, 2002 and its results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 have been made. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations that might be expected for the full calendar year. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been extracted from audited financial statements included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2001 Annual Report of FCBI. NOTE 2. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts reflected in the December 31, 2001 balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the balance sheet presentation used in preparation of the June 30, 2002 financial statements that are included in this periodic report on Form 10Q. The reclassification had no effect on net income or stockholders equity. NOTE 3. STOCK DIVIDEND On February 19, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend to shareholders of record as of March 1, 2002, which was distributed March 28, 2002. Average shares outstanding and per share amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give effect to the stock dividend. Stockholders equity beginning balances as of December 31, 2001 have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 10% stock dividend. Fractional share adjustments are reflected in the current period ended June 30, 2002. NOTE 4. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On December 7, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of four branches of Branch Banking and Trust Company of Virginia ("BB&T") and F & M Bank - Southern Virginia ("F&M") located in Clifton Forge, Emporia, and Drakes Branch, Virginia. The total consideration paid of $3.6 million resulted in goodwill and identified intangible assets of approximately $3.8 million. The consummation of this transaction resulted in a $77 million cash payment to the Company (buyer) for the assumption of $114 million in new deposits and the purchase of approximately $31 million in loans. NOTE 5. BORROWINGS Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings and other indebtedness are comprised of $100 million in convertible and callable advances and $20 million of noncallable term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The callable advances may be called (redeemed) in quarterly increments after various lockout periods. These call options may substantially shorten the lives of these instruments. If these advances are called, the debt may be paid in full, converted to another FHLB credit product, or converted to an adjustable rate advance. The contractual maturity of the callable advances is 2010 and coupon rates are 5.47% to 6.02%. The above referenced noncallable term borrowings with the FHLB of $20 million as of June 30, 2002 carry terms as follows: $10 million due in December 2002 at 4.30%; $8 million due in September 2003 at 5.95%; and $2 million due in September 2008 at 6.27%. NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims involving lending and collection activities and other matters arising in the normal course of business. While the Company and legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, they are of the belief that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. In October 2000, the Circuit Court of Mercer County, West Virginia entered a directed verdict in favor of the Registrant in a case styled "Ann Tierney Smith, as Executrix of the Estate of Katherine B. Tierney, Ann Barclay Smith and Laurence E. 7 Tierney Smith vs. FCFT, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 97-CV-408-K". On June 4, 2002, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, by a vote of 3 to 2, granted Plaintiffs and a defendant, Gentry, Locke, Rakes and Moore, a hearing on an appeal of the Circuit Court's decision. A hearing date for this appeal has not been set. Legal Counsel and management are both confident that the Registrant will prevail in this matter. A motion for one of the Supreme Court Justices to recuse himself from hearing this matter has been filed, due to an alleged conflict of interest stemming from the Justice's personal pending lawsuit against the Registrant as a dissenting shareholder of a predecessor bank acquired by the Registrant. The Company conducts mortgage banking operations through United First Mortgage, Inc., ("UFM") a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Community Bank, N. A. The majority of loans originated by UFM are sold to larger national investors on a Service Released basis. Loans are sold under a Loan Sales Agreement which contains various repurchase provisions. These repurchase provisions give rise to a contingent liability for loans which may subsequently be submitted to the company for repurchase. The principal events which could result in a repurchase obligation are i.) the discovery of fraud or material inaccuracies in a sold loan file and ii.) a default on the first payment due after a loan is sold to the investor, coupled with a ninety day delinquency in the first year of the life of the loan. Other events and variations of these events could result in a loan repurchase under terms of other Loan Sales Agreements. The volume of loan repurchases is dependent on the quality of loan underwriting and systems employed by UFM for quality control in the production of mortgage loans. To date, only one such loan totaling $140,000 has been submitted for repurchase. Accordingly, loan repurchases have not had a material adverse effect on the financial position of UFM or the Company. UFM also originates government guaranteed FHA and VA loans which are also sold to third party investors. The department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) periodically audits loan files of government guaranteed loans and may require UFM to execute indemnification agreements on loans which do not meet certain predefined underwriting guidelines. To date, UFM has been required to execute only three such indemnification agreements for defaults which may occur over the five-year period following the indemnification. No losses have occurred under such agreements; accordingly loan indemnifications have not had a material adverse effect on the financial position of UFM or the Company. NOTE 7. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company currently has one component of other comprehensive income, which includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and is detailed as follows: Six Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30 June 30 June 30 June 30 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- (Amounts in Thousands) (Amounts in Thousands) Other Comprehensive Income: Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period $ 6,943 $ 3,686 $ 8,630 $ (589) Tax (expense) benefit (2,783) (1,475) (3,452) 233 ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period, net of tax 4,160 2,211 5,178 (356) Reclassification adjustment for (gains) losses realized in net income (186) (44) (9) 7 Tax (benefit) expense of reclassification 74 18 3 (2) ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- Other comprehensive income (loss) 4,048 2,185 5,172 (351) Beginning accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) 755 (1,538) (369) 998 ----------- --------- ----------- ---------- Ending accumulated other comprehensive income $ 4,803 $ 647 $ 4,803 $ 647 =========== ========= =========== ========== NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates two business segments: community banking and mortgage banking. These segments are primarily identified by their products and services and the channels through which they are offered. The Community Banking segment consists of the Company's full-service bank that offers customers traditional banking products and services through various delivery channels. The Mortgage Banking segment consists of mortgage brokerage facilities that originate, acquire, and sell residential mortgage products into the secondary market. In connection with those mortgage activities, the Company enters into forward commitments or derivatives to manage interest rate risk inherent in interest rate lock commitments made to prospective borrowers. The inventory of loans and loan commitments are hedged to protect the Company from fluctuations in the cash flows derived upon settlement of the loans with secondary market purchasers, and consequently, to achieve a desired margin upon delivery. The hedge transactions are used for risk mitigation and are not for trading purposes. The derivative 8 financial instruments derived from these hedging transactions are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the changes in fair value are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Information for each of the segments is presented below.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS On June 29, 2001, the FASB approved Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (Statement 141) and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142). These Statements significantly change the accounting for business combinations, goodwill, and intangible assets. 9 Statement 141 eliminated the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. The requirements of Statement 141 were effective for any business combination accounted for by the purchase method that was completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 superseded APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. Under Statement 142, certain goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. An indefinite lived intangible asset is required to be tested for impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change indicating that the asset might be impaired. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives, for which Statement 142 does not impose a limit. Currently, goodwill within the scope of Statement 72 continues to be amortized. Effective January 1, 2002, FCBI ceased amortization of certain goodwill in accordance with FASB Statement 142. The following table depicts the effect of Statement 142 on earnings and earnings per share for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

The impairment test involves identifying separate reporting units based on the reporting structure of the Corporation, then assigning all assets and liabilities, including goodwill, to these units. Goodwill is assigned based on the reporting unit benefiting from the factors that gave rise to the goodwill. Each reporting unit is then tested for goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its book value, no goodwill impairment exists. However, if the book value of the reporting unit is greater than its determined fair value, goodwill impairment may exist and further testing is required to determine the amount, if any, of the actual impairment loss. Any impairment loss determined with this transitional test would be reported as a change in accounting principle. The Corporation has completed its transitional impairment test of goodwill and based on current information, does not expect to record an impairment loss as a result of this test. NOTE 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.59 and $1.21 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. For the corresponding periods of 2001, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.46 and $0.91 (adjusted from $0.51 and $1.00, respectively, to reflect the 10% stock dividend). For the periods ending June 30, 2002, dilutive shares of 48,654 and 46,481 for the three and six month periods, respectively, did not have an impact on the Company's earnings per share. NOTE 11. PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company's lending strategy stresses quality growth diversified by product, geography, and industry. All loans made by the Company are subject to a common credit underwriting structure. Loans are also subject to an annual review process based on the loan size and type. The Company also utilizes an ongoing review process to evaluate loans for changes in credit risk. This process serves as the primary means by which the Company evaluates the adequacy of loan loss allowances. The total loan loss allowance is divided into three categories: i) specifically identified loan relationships which are on non-accrual status, ninety days past due or more and loans with elements of credit weakness, ii) formula allowances, and iii) special allocations addressing other qualitative factors including industry concentrations, economic conditions, staffing and other conditions. Specific allowances are established to cover loan relationships, which are identified with significant cash flow weakness and for which a collateral deficiency may be present. The allowances established under the specific identification method are judged based upon the borrower's estimated cash flow or projected liquidation value of related collateral. Formula allowances, based on historical loss experience, are available to cover homogeneous groups of loans not individually evaluated. The formula allowance is developed and evaluated against loans in general by specific category (commercial, mortgage, and consumer). To determine the amount of allowance needed for each loan category, an estimated loss percentage is developed based upon historical loss percentages. The calculated percentage is used to determine the estimated allowance excluding any relationships specifically identified and individually evaluated. While allocations are made to specific loans and classifications within the various categories of loans, the allowance is available for all loan losses. In developing the allowance for loan losses, the Company also considers various inherent risk factors, such as current economic conditions, the level of delinquencies and nonaccrual loans, trends in the volume and term of loans, anticipated impact from changes in lending policies and procedures, and any concentration of credits in certain industries or geographic areas. 11 Management continually evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and makes specific adjustments to the reserve based on the results of risk analysis in the credit review process, the recommendation of regulatory agencies, and other factors, such as loan loss experience and prevailing economic conditions. Management considers the level of allowance adequate based on the current risk profile in the loan portfolio. 12 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors First Community Bancshares, Inc. We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of First Community Bancshares, Inc. (First Community) as of June 30, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001and the consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of First Community as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Charleston, West Virginia July 16, 2002 13 FIRST COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company's financial condition and results of operations, which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements included in this report. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders and the other financial information included in this report. First Community is a multi-state bank holding company headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia with total assets of $1.46 billion at June 30, 2002. First Community through its community banking subsidiary, First Community Bank, N. A. ("FCBNA"), provides financial, mortgage brokerage and origination and trust services to individuals and commercial customers through 38 full-service banking locations in West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina as well as 11 mortgage brokerage facilities operated by United First Mortgage, Inc. ("UFM") a wholly owned subsidiary of FCBNA. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS First Community Bancshares, Inc. ("FCBI", the "Company", "Registrant" or the "Corporation") may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements", including statements contained in the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Exhibits hereto and thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Corporation, which are made in good faith by the Corporation pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to the Corporation's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond the Corporation's control). The words "may", "could", "should", "would", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Corporation's financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Corporation conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of competitive new products and services of the Corporation and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors' products and services for the Corporation's products and services and vice versa; the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; the growth and profitability of the Corporation's noninterest or fee income being less than expected; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Corporation at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Corporation does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Corporation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Year to date 2002 net income totaled $12.1 million, $3.0 million, or 33% higher than net income of $9.1 million reported for the corresponding period in 2001. Net income for the first six months of the current and prior year resulted in basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.21 versus $0.91 (adjusted for the 10% stock dividend), a 32.97% increase. The largest factors contributing to this increase are a $5.5 million increase in net interest income (largely attributable to a $2.7 million increase in investment security income and a $3.3 million decrease in interest expense), and a $1.1 million increase in mortgage banking income. Partially offsetting these increases was an increase of approximately $1.9 million in salaries and benefits and a $1.4 million increase in other operating expenses. Net income for the second quarter of 2002 of $5.9 million increased $1.3 million over second quarter 2001 income. Reflected in this increase were a $1.6 million increase in investment security income and a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense, with net interest income increasing by $2.9 million. Total noninterest income decreased slightly but remained relatively consistent with the second quarter 2001 while total noninterest expense increased $1.1 million when comparing the second quarter of 2002 to that of 2001. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.59 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.46 for the same period of 2001. 14 NET INTEREST INCOME-SIX MONTH COMPARISON (SEE TABLE I) Net interest income (NII), the largest contributor to earnings was $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared with $24.2 million for the corresponding period in 2001. For purposes of this discussion, comparison of NII is done on a tax equivalent basis which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable. Table I on page 16 displays taxable equivalent yields on earning assets and taxable equivalent Net Interest Spread (NIS) and Net Interest Margin (NIM). As indicated on Table I, tax equivalent net interest income totaled $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 an increase of $5.8 million from the $25.8 million reported in the first half of 2001. This increase in net interest income stems from an increase in average earning assets of $213.2 million. The yield on earning assets decreased 97 basis points between 2001 and 2002 but was offset by a 127 basis point decline in the cost of funds. The impact of these rate and volume changes was an increase in the net interest rate spread from 3.91% to 4.21% as of June 30, 2002, a 30 basis point increase in the spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities over June 30, 2001. The Company's tax equivalent net interest margin of 4.70% for June 30, 2002 reflects an increase of 13 basis points compared to the first half of 2001 when the tax equivalent net interest margin for the six months ended was 4.57%. As indicated in Table I, the overall tax equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased 97 basis points from 8.44% to 7.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to June 30, 2001. Compared to the same period of 2001, average loans held for investment for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $91.6 million while the overall tax equivalent loan yield decreased 98 basis points from the prior year to 7.96%. Likewise, the average loans held for sale balance increased $12.5 million and the yield decreased by 57 basis points to 6.88%. Decreases in key lending rates, (throughout 2001, there were 11 reductions in the Federal Funds rate with an associated 475 basis point reduction in the prime loan rate) led the reduction in the Company's overall loan yield. The increase in average outstanding loans was funded largely through increases in the level of customer deposits and, to a lesser degree, through wholesale borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, the taxable equivalent yields on securities available for sale decreased 70 basis points to 6.06% while the tax equivalent yield on investment securities held to maturity remained almost the same at 8.16%, a 3 basis point decrease. The yield on interest-bearing balances with banks decreased substantially to 1.65% in concert with the above referenced 11 cuts in the Federal Funds rate. The $127.6 million increase in the average balance of securities available for sale when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2002 to 2001, was largely the result of investment of funds received from new deposit growth in existing markets and deposits obtained in the acquisition of the four new BB&T and F&M branches in the last quarter of 2001. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 127 basis points from 4.53% for the first six months of 2001 to 3.26% for the same period of 2002 while the average volume increased $175.5 million. Average FHLB borrowings increased by $8.3 million compared to the prior year while the rate paid decreased 11 basis points to 5.96% from 6.07%. The rate paid on other borrowings remained virtually the same compared to the rate paid in the same period last year. The average balances of interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $49.4 and $29.8 million, respectively, while the corresponding average rate on these deposits declined 76 and 38 basis points. Average time deposits increased $60.2 million while the average rate paid decreased 164 basis points from 5.66% in 2001 to 4.02% in 2002. Average Fed Funds and repurchase agreements increased $27.7 million when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2001 while the average rate decreased 176 basis points. Additionally, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $28.8 million in 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. NET INTEREST INCOME -QUARTERLY COMPARISON (SEE TABLE II) NII for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $15.2 million, up $2.9 million from the comparable quarter in 2001 as indicated in the Consolidated Statements of Income. A comparison of the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2001 on a taxable equivalent basis (refer to Table II) reflects an increase in net interest income of $3.0 million. A 128 basis point decrease in rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities offset an 86 basis point decline in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, increasing the net interest margin 24 basis points to 4.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. When comparing the two quarters, average earning assets increased $195.3 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001, which included increases in average securities available for sale of $136.7 million and average loans held for investment of $91.3 million. In the second quarter of 2002, average interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $34.7 million and average loans held for sale increased $4.7 million when compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Total interest-bearing liabilities increased $164.9 million with average interest-bearing deposits increasing $128.9 million, while the average rate paid on these deposits dropped 140 basis points. For the same periods, average Fed Funds purchased and repurchase agreements increased $29.4 million as the average rate paid decreased 159 basis points. 15 TABLE I AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS AND NET INTEREST INCOME ANALYSIS (Dollars in Thousands) Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 June 30, 2001 Average Interest Yield/Rate Average Interest Yield/Rate Balance (1) (2) (2) Balance (1) (2) (2) --------------------------- ---------- ---------------------------- ---------- Earning Assets: Loans (3) Loans Held for Sale $ 48,941 $ 1,670 6.88% $ 36,464 $ 1,347 7.45% Loans Held for Investment: Taxable 909,227 35,875 7.96% 816,535 36,125 8.92% Tax-Exempt 6,452 268 8.38% 7,509 410 11.01% ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------- ------------ ---------- Total 915,679 36,143 7.96% 824,044 36,535 8.94% Allowance for Loan Losses (14,448) (12,513) ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ Net Total 901,231 36,143 811,531 36,535 Securities Available For Sale: Taxable 257,761 6,928 5.42% 152,765 4,768 6.29% Tax-Exempt 94,219 3,654 7.82% 71,615 2,759 7.77% ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------- ------------ ---------- Total 351,980 10,582 6.06% 224,380 7,527 6.76% Held to Maturity Securities: Taxable 1,992 71 7.19% 2,786 103 7.46% Tax-Exempt 39,563 1,611 8.21% 39,747 1,624 8.24% ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------- ------------ ---------- Total 41,555 1,682 8.16% 42,533 1,727 8.19% Interest Bearing Deposits 10,025 82 1.65% 25,577 577 4.55% Fed Funds Sold - - 0.00% - - 0.00% ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------- ------------ ---------- Total Earning Assets 1,353,732 50,159 7.47% 1,140,485 47,713 8.44% ------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ Other Assets 106,460 101,303 ------------- -------------- Total $ 1,460,192 $ 1,241,788 ============= ============== Interest-Bearing Liabilities: Demand Deposits $ 188,700 992 1.06% $ 139,302 1,256 1.82% Savings Deposits 160,282 923 1.16% 130,472 999 1.54% Time Deposits 575,339 11,482 4.02% 515,094 14,452 5.66% Fed Funds Purchased & Repurchase Agreements 81,939 929 2.29% 54,210 1,090 4.05% FHLB Convertible, Callable Advances 133,619 3,949 5.96% 125,276 3,770 6.07% Other Borrowings 10,108 300 5.99% 10,175 301 5.97% ------------- ------------ ---------- -------------- ------------ ---------- Total Interest-bearing Liabilities 1,149,987 18,575 3.26% 974,529 21,868 4.53% Demand Deposits 155,810 127,053 Other Liabilities 15,592 14,649 Stockholders' Equity 138,803 125,557 ------------- -------------- Total $ 1,460,192 $ 1,241,788 ============= ============== Net Interest Income $31,584 $25,845 ============ ============ Net Interest Rate Spread (3) 4.21% 3.91% ========== ========== Net Interest Margin 4.70% 4.57% ========== ========== (1) Interest amounts represent taxable equivalent results for the first six months of 2002 and 2001.

The provision and underlying allowance for loan losses are quantified through a series of objective measures, review of economic indications, and the estimation of levels of losses within various loans and loan types that portray inherent weaknesses. To maintain a balance in the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb probable loan losses, charges are made to the provision for loan losses. The year to date and second quarter 2002 provisions of $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compare to the $1.7 million and $985,000 for the corresponding periods in 2001. The respective provisions are a result of management's formal analysis to establish the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to cover loan growth, absorb current period net charge-offs and to account for an increasing trend in national charge offs as supported by statistically compiled industry data suggesting that current economic conditions will continue to reflect an increase in national loss trends for the near term. FCBI's allowance for loan loss activity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 is as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended June 30 June 30 (Amounts in Thousands) (Amounts in Thousands) 2002 2001 2002 2001 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- Beginning balance $ 14,271 $ 12,408 $ 13,952 $ 12,303 Provision 1,022 985 1,959 1,732 Charge-offs (1,243) (1,045) (2,061) (1,906) Recoveries 144 340 344 559 ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- Ending Balance $ 14,194 $ 12,688 $ 14,194 $ 12,688 ============= ============ ============= ============= Based on the allowance for loan losses of approximately $14.2 million and $12.7 million at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the allowance to loans held for investment ratios were 1.53% and 1.50% at the respective dates. Net charge-offs for the three and six months of 2002 were $1.1 million and $1.7 million compared with $705,000 and $1.3 million for the corresponding periods in 2001. Expressed as a percentage of average loans held for investment, net charge-offs were .12% and .19% for the three and six month periods of 2002, and ..08% and .16% for the same periods of 2001. The $370,000 increase in net charge-offs between the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 was largely due to a $273,000 commercial loan charge-off of a loan made to a single borrower in the residential development business. Consumer loan charge offs reflected little change for the comparable periods. As of June 30, 2002, the allowance as a percentage of non-performing loans was 324% compared to 280% at December 31, 2001. The increase in this coverage ratio reflects the $242,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses and a $600,000 decrease in nonperforming loans since December 31, 2001. Following the events of September 11, 2001 the Company reviewed credits with particular exposure to new weaknesses in the economy. In particular, the Company has reviewed loans to the hospitality industry. The Company currently has $51.2 million in loans to owners/operators of hotels and motels. One credit totaling $5.1 million has displayed signs of weakness and vulnerability to prevailing lower occupancy rates. Although this loan continues to perform, the Company has considered the current inherent risk of this loan in its monthly allowance for the loan loss analysis. NONINTEREST INCOME Non-interest income consists of all revenues, which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Total non-interest income increased approximately $1.6 million, or 17.32% from $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $10.8 million for the corresponding period in 2002. The largest portion of this increase, $1.1 million, resulted from the mortgage brokerage operations of UFM, which recognized approximately $5.4 million of other income in 2002 versus $4.3 million for the comparable six-month period in 2001. This increase is directly tied to the increased loan production of UFM in late 2001 and the first half of 2002 compared to production in the corresponding period of 2001. When comparing the first six months of 2002 to that of 2001 exclusive of UFM, noninterest income increased $530,000, or 10.75%. This increase is largely attributable to a $461,000, or a 16.42% increase in service charges on deposit accounts (primarily the result of a new customer-sensitive overdraft program that allows well-managed customer deposit accounts greater flexibility in managing overdrafts and that, in turn, produced higher levels of overdraft charges 18 with minimal charge-offs of overdrawn accounts), and a $142,000 increase in security gains both of which were partially offset by a $66,000 decrease in fiduciary income. Fiduciary earnings correspond to the asset management fees recorded and have declined from the prior year as a direct result of a reduction in estate and trust management activity and lower market values and yields on assets under management. Second quarter trust revenues did, however, return to a level comparable to the second quarter of 2001. Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001 remained relatively the same, decreasing by only $39,000 (less than 1%), even though certain individual income statement items reflected larger fluctuations. Mortgage banking income and other operating income decreased $437,000 and $77,000, respectively, while service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges, commissions and fees increased $303,000 and $156,000, respectively. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense totaled $21.5 million in the first six months of 2002, increasing $2.9 million over the corresponding period in 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to a $1.9 million increase in salaries and benefits, $510,000 of which was due to the acquisition of the four BB&T & F&M branches in the fourth quarter of 2001, along with a $614,000 increase in salaries and commissions in the mortgage operations of UFM (mostly due to increased loan production) and a general increase in salaries as staffing needs at several locations were satisfied in order to support new infrastructure and continued growth. Also impacting the increase in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 2001 were increased other operating costs associated with UFM of $347,000 (again, largely tied to increased loan production), increases in other operating expenses of $163,000 and an increase of $92,000 in OREO expenses. Increased costs such as data communications, supplies, advertising and other service fees account for a large portion of the remaining increase. In the first half of 2002, occupancy expense increased by $85,000 when compared to the first half of 2001, $69,000 of which was due to the new branches while additional occupancy expenses of UFM were largely responsible for the remainder. Furniture, fixtures and equipment expense increased $106,000, $48,000 of which was attributable to the new branches and UFM, with the majority of the remaining increase due to additional depreciation on new software and hardware utilized in the Information Technology department and throughout the Company. With the adoption of FASB Statement No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of certain goodwill beginning January 1, 2002, as required by the Statement. Cessation of such amortization decreased goodwill expense by $714,000; however, additional amortization associated with the new branches was recorded and resulted in a net decrease of $539,000 during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period last year. On a quarterly basis, the net effect of the adoption of FASB Statement 142 along with the additional of goodwill associated with the new branches was a decrease in amortization expense of $270,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $10.7 million, a $1.1 million dollar increase over the $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. As in the year to date discussion, the majority of this increase was a $752,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits which is largely attributed to the branches acquired in December 2001 ($278,000), increases due to higher loan origination activity ($91,000) of UFM in 2002 and a general increase in salaries along with the addition of personnel Company-wide accounting for the difference. Other operating expenses increased $499,000 largely due to increased data communication costs and equipment installation at the new branches and increased advertising costs associated with a series of campaigns targeted at increasing deposits and the Company's rollout of its internet banking product. Furniture and equipment expense increased $66,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to June 30, 2001. As discussed earlier, this additional expense was associated with the new branches and increased costs associated with data processing and communication equipment. The effective income tax rate has been impacted by the Company's continued emphasis on the utilization of tax-exempt municipal securities and the discontinuance of amortization of goodwill that was not deductible for income tax purposes. Municipal securities have offered an attractive tax equivalent yield, helped counter the effect of the declining interest rate environment and have lowered the Company's effective tax rate. FINANCIAL POSITION SECURITIES Investment securities, which are purchased with the intent to hold until maturity, totaled $41.3 million at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $557,000 from December 31, 2001. This 1.3% decrease is largely the result of maturities and calls within the portfolio during the first half of 2002. The market value of investment securities held to maturity was 105.2% and 103.6% of book value at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The market value of fixed rate debt securities reacts 19 inversely to rising interest rates; consequently, recent trends in interest rates have had a positive effect on the underlying market value since December 31, 2001, due to a general shift in market offering rates for similar securities, and as a result of the securities markets current bias toward the interest rate environment. However, the target Federal Funds rate and the prime loan rates have remained unchanged since year-end 2001. Securities available for sale were $338.6 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $354.0 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $15.4 million. This change reflects the purchase of $32.5 million in securities, $20.5 million in maturities and calls, the sale of $13.9 million in securities as well as the continuation of larger pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities and CMO's triggered by the rate environment. Securities available for sale are recorded at their estimated fair market value. The unrealized gain or loss, which is the difference between amortized cost and market value, net of related deferred taxes, is recognized in the Stockholders' Equity section of the balance sheet as either accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The unrealized gains after taxes of $4.8 million at June 30, 2002, represents an increase from the $755,000 gain at December 31, 2001 due to market value increases in the first six months of 2002. LOAN PORTFOLIO LOANS HELD FOR SALE The relative size of the portfolio of loans originated by the Company's mortgage brokerage division, UFM, and held for sale was impacted greatly by the refinancing activity that occurred during 2001. Average loans held for sale (see Table I) increased $12.5 million during the first half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001 due to a substantial increase in mortgage purchase and refinance activity prompted by the lower interest rate environment. Due to the increased volume of loans delivered to investors in the first six months of 2002, the actual loans funded and in the process of delivery declined from year-end 2001 by $13.4 million to $52.1 million at June 30, 2002 despite the year to date average increase of $12.5 million. The loan to deposit ratio (including loans held for sale) increased slightly from the year-end 2001 ratio of 89.96% to 90.67% on June 30, 2002, however, both of these ratios remain well below the June 30, 2001 94.75%. The lower levels of loans to deposits are due, in part, to the lower loan to deposit ratios of the branches acquired in the fourth quarter of 2001. LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT Total loans held for investment increased $24.0 million from $904.5 million at December 31, 2001 to $928.5 million at June 30, 2002. However, the substantial increase in deposits during the latter half of 2001 and the first half of 2002 has lowered the loan to deposit ratio from its June 30, 2001 level. The loan to deposit ratio, using only loans held for investment (excluding loans held for sale), was 85.86% on June 30, 2002, 83.88% on December 31, 2001 and 91.05% on June 30, 2001. Average loans held for investment (see Table I) increased $91.6 million when comparing the first six months of 2002 to the same period of 2001, the result of sales and marketing efforts, a concentration on relationship management and development, and the acquisition of approximately $31 million of loans in December 2001 as part of the BB&T and F&M branches. The held for investment loan portfolio continues to be diversified among loan types and industry segments. Commercial and commercial real estate loans represent the largest segment of the portfolio, comprising $406.8 million or 43.82% of total loans at June 30, 2002 compared to $421.9 million or 46.65% of total loans at December 31, 2001. Residential real estate loans increased to $308.0 million or 33.17% of total loans at June 30, 2002 compared to $267.1 million or 29.53% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2001. Loans to individuals also decreased slightly to $131.9 million or 14.20% of total loans at June 30, 2002 from $137.1 million or 15.16% of total loans at December 31, 2001. Construction loans were $80.7 million at June 30, 2002 or 8.69% of total loans compared to $77.4 million at December 31, 2001 or 8.56% of total loans. The construction loan segment includes multifamily residential properties and commercial real estate development properties. A portion of these loans will move into the commercial real estate portfolio as the projects are completed. Other loans were $1.2 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $961,000 at December 31, 2001. 20 Loan Portfolio Overview (Dollars in Thousands) June 30, 2002 December 31, 2001 June 30, 2001 ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ----------------------------- Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent -------------- --------- --------------- --------- ---------------- --------- Loans Held for Investment: Commercial and Agricultural $ 131,672 14.18% $ 162,173 17.93% $ 93,101 11.01% Commercial Real Estate 275,155 29.64% 259,717 28.72% 237,775 28.14% Residential Real Estate 307,990 33.17% 267,139 29.53% 305,358 36.12% Construction 80,661 8.69% 77,402 8.56% 73,716 8.72% Consumer 131,879 14.20% 137,104 15.16% 134,780 15.94% Other 1,184 0.13% 961 0.11% 660 0.08% ---------- --------- ----------- --------- ------------ --------- Total $ 928,541 100.00% $ 904,496 100.00% $ 845,390 100.00% ========== ========= =========== ========= ============ ========= Loans Held for Sale $ 52,095 $ 65,532 $ 34,303 ========== =========== ============ NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets are comprised of loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and other real estate owned ("OREO"). Non-performing assets were $6.8 million at June 30, 2002, $7.4 at March 31, 2002 and $8.0 million at December 31, 2001, or 0.73%, 0.81% and 0.88% of total loans and OREO, respectively. The following schedule details non-performing assets by category at the close of each of the last five quarters: (In Thousands of Dollars) June 30 March 31 December 31 September 30 June 30 March 31 2002 2002 2001 2001 2001 2001 ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- ------------ ------------ Nonaccrual $ 4,131 $ 4,644 $ 3,633 $ 5,361 $ 5,167 $ 5,192 Ninety Days Past Due 254 192 1,351 1,418 1,442 1,393 Other Real Estate Owned 2,452 2,538 3,029 2,595 2,614 2,591 ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- ------------ ------------ $ 6,837 $ 7,374 $ 8,013 $ 9,374 $ 9,223 $ 9,176 ============= ============= ============== ============== ============ ============ Restructured loans performing in accordance with modified terms $ 440 $ 523 $ 449 $ 443 $ 445 $ 446 ============= ============= ============== ============== ============ ============ At June 30, 2002, nonaccrual loans decreased $513,000 from March 31, 2002, while ninety day past due loans increased only $62,000. Ongoing activity within the classification and categories of non-performing loans continues to include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures and movements into or out of the non-performing classification as a result of changing customer business conditions. The $513,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans in the second quarter is largely attributable to a single charge off for $227,000. OREO decreased $86,000 during the second quarter of 2002 from March 31, 2002. The decrease in OREO is due to the foreclosure and disposition of several properties with no large additions in the second quarter of 2002. The parcels of other real estate owned are generally carried at the lesser of their estimated realizable fair market value or cost. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Total stockholders' equity reached $143.9 million at June 30, 2002 increasing $10.9 million through earnings and comprehensive income (net of dividends of $5.0 million) over the $133.0 million, reported at December 31, 2001. The Federal Reserve's risk based capital guidelines and leverage ratio measure capital adequacy of banking institutions. Risk-based capital guidelines weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments based on inherent risks associated with the respective asset types. At June 30, 2002, the Company's total risk adjusted capital-to-asset ratio was 12.91% versus 12.10% in December 31, 2001. The Company's leverage ratio at June 30, 2002 was 7.89% compared with 7.93% at December 31, 2001. Both the risk adjusted capital-to-asset ratio and the leverage ratio exceed the current well-capitalized levels prescribed for banks of 10% and 5%, respectively. 21 LIQUIDITY The Company maintains a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalent balances ($31.7 million), investment securities available for sale ($338.6 million) and Federal Home Loan Bank credit availability of approximately $305.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents as well as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs and operations of the Company. Investment securities available for sale represent a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. The Company also maintains approved lines of credit with correspondent banks as backup liquidity sources. The Company has adopted a Liquidity Contingency Plan as a means to further manage liquidity risk. The Plan is designed as a tool for the Company to detect liquidity issues promptly in order to protect depositors, creditors and shareholders. The Plan includes monitoring various internal and external indicators such as changes in core deposits and changes in market conditions. It provides for timely responses to a wide variety of funding scenarios ranging from changes in loan demand to a decline in the Company's quarterly earnings to a decline in the market price of the Company's stock. The Plan calls for specific responses designed to meet a wide range of liquidity needs based upon assessments on a recurring basis by management and the Board of Directors. RECENT LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Act"). The stated goals of the Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Act generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to many of the Act's new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined. The Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General. The Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. This Act addresses, among other matters: audit committees; certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer; the forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period covered by restated financial statements; a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers (excluding Federally insured financial institutions); expedited filing requirements for stock transaction reports by officers and directors; disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code; "real time" filing of periodic reports; the formation of a public accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws. The Act contains provisions which became effective upon enactment on July 30, 2002 and provisions which will become effective from within 30 days to one year from enactment. Effective July 30, 2002, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of a company must certify in a written statement that its periodic report filed with the SEC, containing financial statements, fully comply with the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act and that the information contained in the report fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial condition and results of operations of the company. 22 PART I. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk (IRR) and Asset/Liability Management While the Company continues to strive to decrease its dependence on net interest income, the Bank's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its ability to manage its net interest margin. The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds. Specific strategies for management of IRR have included shortening the amortized maturity of fixed-rate loans and increasing the volume of adjustable rate loans to reduce the average maturity of the Bank's interest-earning assets. The Bank seeks to control its IRR exposure to insulate net interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure its exposure to IRR, the Bank performs quarterly simulations using financial models which project net interest income through a range of possible interest rate environments including rising, declining, most likely, and flat rate scenarios. The results of these simulations indicate the existence and severity of IRR in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet position and assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities and management's estimate of yields attainable in those future rate environments and rates which will be paid on various deposit instruments and borrowings. The Company's risk profile continues to reflect a slightly asset sensitive position. The substantial level of prepayments and calls consistent with the declining rate environment that occurred in the prior year, as well as the success of deposit funding campaigns instituted in the prior year have lead to an increase in the banks overall liquidity position as reflected in the level of cash reserves, due from balances and Fed Funds Sold of approximately $31.7 million. The Company continues to reinvest the funds generated from asset paydowns and prepayments within a framework that attempts to maintain an acceptable net interest margin in the current interest rate environment. In addition, the mortgage operations of UFM use investments commonly referred to as "forward" transactions or derivatives to balance the risk inherent in interest rate lock commitments (also deemed to be derivatives) made to prospective borrowers. The pipeline of loans is hedged to mitigate unusual fluctuations in the cash flows derived upon settlement of the loans with secondary market purchasers and, consequently, to achieve a desired margin upon delivery. The hedge transactions are used for risk mitigation and are not for trading purposes. The derivative financial instruments derived from these hedging transactions are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the changes in fair value are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2002, UFM held an investment in the underlying notional value of investments in securities ("forward commitments") of $82.0 million and had option adjusted interest rate lock commitments and closed loan inventory being hedged of $84.0 million. As of June 30, 2002 the change in the market value of investments in hedge securities reflected a decline in value of $511,000 while the interest rate lock commitments reflect an appreciation in value of $1,382,000. The combined net change in market values of the commitments on forwards and loan commitments being hedged as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are $871,000 and $480,000, respectively. The increase in the fair value is due to an increase in the volume and the change in pricing of the forward commitments from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002. This hedging strategy is managed through a series of mathematical tools that are used to quantify the exposure to changes in interest rates and UFM simultaneously enters into forward transactions to minimize the potential volatility to earnings as rates change. The Company's earnings sensitivity measurements completed on a quarterly basis indicate that the performance criteria, against which sensitivity is measured, are currently within the Company's defined policy limits. A more complete discussion of the overall interest rate risk is included in the Company's annual report for December 31, 2001. 23 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings (a) The Company is currently a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims involving lending and collection activities and other matters in the normal course of business. While the Company and legal counsel are unable to assess the ultimate outcome of each of these matters with certainty, they are of the belief that the resolution of these actions should not have a material adverse affect on the financial position of the Company. In October 2000, the Circuit Court of Mercer County, West Virginia entered a directed verdict in favor of the Registrant in a case styled "Ann Tierney Smith, as Executrix of the Estate of Katherine B. Tierney, Ann Barclay Smith and Laurence E. Tierney Smith vs. FCFT, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 97-CV-408-K". On June 4, 2002, the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, by a vote of 3 to 2, granted Plaintiffs and a defendant, Gentry, Locke, Rakes and Moore, a hearing on an appeal of the Circuit Court's decision. A hearing date for this appeal has not been set. Legal Counsel and management are both confident that the Registrant will prevail in this matter. A motion for one of the Supreme Court Justices to recuse himself from hearing this matter has been filed, due to an alleged conflict of interest stemming from the Justice's personal pending lawsuit against the Registrant as a dissenting shareholder of a predecessor bank acquired by the Registrant. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds (a) N/A (b) N/A (c) On July 10, 2002, the Registrant sold 5,500 shares of common stock then held in Treasury to its Director Emeritus, Sam Clark, pursuant to its Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") at the stated Plan option price of $23.91 per share. The shares under the Directors' Stock Option Plan had been previously registered under a Form S-8 filed by the Registrant on December 14, 2001. The proceeds of this sale totaled one hundred thirty-one thousand, five hundred five dollars ($131,505). The proceeds were not earmarked for any specific use and remain available for general business needs of the Registrant. (d) N/A Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities (a) N/A (b) N/A Item 4.
