LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Bank is involved in various legal proceedings incidental to its business. After review with legal counsel, management does not believe resolution of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of the Bank. In one litigation matter, the Bank was awarded a $4.2 million judgment in 1997. The Bank prevailed on this appeal. The Bank expects to collect this judgment, at least in substantial part, which would have a material favorable impact on the Bank's financial statements. Post judgment interest accrues from the date of this judgment and approximates $2.3 million at December 31, 2002. However, collectibility of post judgment interest in addition to the $4.2 million award has not yet been determined. In another litigation matter, the Bank was awarded $1.1 million by a jury verdict, during the fourth quarter 1999, in a legal case where the Bank sought to recover damages from loans previously charged off. In 2000, the court entered final judgment for approximately $1.8 million, which includes post judgment accrued interest. This award has been appealed by defendants and collectibility of this award is subject to this appeal and other contingencies. This case was heard by the appellate court on December 11, 2002. A decision by the court has not been rendered as of March 31, 2002. It is management's opinion that the timing and final amounts to be collected cannot be determined at this time. Accordingly, no recognition of these judgments has been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. PART II ITEM 5.
