The Corporation completed the first step of the impairment testing of its
goodwill as of January 1, 2002. The Corporation concluded that there was no
impairment.
In August, 2001, Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets," was issued to
supercede Statement No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment and for Long-lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions." Statement No. 144 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged.
The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
"Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). This legislation impacts corporate governance of public
companies, affecting their officers and directors, their audit committees, their
relationships with their accountants, and the audit function itself. Certain
provisions of the Act became effective on July 30, 2002. Others will become
effective as the SEC adopts appropriate rules.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act implements a broad range of corporate governance and
accounting measures for public companies designed to promote honesty and
transparency in corporate America and better protect investors from corporate
wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's principal legislation includes: the
creation of an independent accounting oversight board to oversee the audit of
public companies and auditors who perform such audits; auditor independence
provisions which restrict nonaudit services that independent accountants may
provide to their audit clients; additional corporate governance and
responsibility measures, including (i) requiring the chief executive officer and
chief financial officer to certify financial statements, (ii) prohibiting
trading of securities by officers and directors during periods in which certain
employee benefit plans are prohibited from trading; (iii) requiring a company's
chief executive officer and chief financial officer to forfeit salary and
bonuses, including profits on the sale of company securities, in certain
situations; and (iv) protecting whistleblowers and informants; expansion of the
power of the audit committee, including the requirements that the audit
committee have direct
9 of 30
control of the engagement of the outside auditor, be able to hire and fire the
auditor, and approve all nonaudit services; expanded disclosure requirements,
including accelerated reporting of stock transactions by insiders and the
prohibition of most loans to directors and executive officers of non-financial
institutions; mandatory disclosure by analysis of potential conflicts of
interest; and a range of enhanced penalties for fraud and other violations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition
of First Busey Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Corporation") at September 30,
2002, (unaudited) when compared with December 31, 2001, and the results of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and 2001 (unaudited)
and the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and
2001 (unaudited). The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the First Busey Corporation consolidated financial
statements and related notes appearing in the 2001 annual report previously
filed on Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2001
Total assets increased $101,399,000, or 7.8%, to $1,402,088,000 at September 30,
2002, from $1,300,689,000 at December 31, 2001. Securities available for sale
increased $20,289,000, or 9.6%, to $231,158,000 at September 30, 2002, from
$210,869,000 at December 31, 2001. Loans increased $65,096,000 or 6.7%, to
$1,043,202,000 at September 30, 2002, from $978,106,000 at December 31, 2001,
primarily due to increases in real estate construction and 1-4 family
residential mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease
in commercial loans.
Total deposits increased $64,779,000, or 5.9%, to $1,170,778,000 at September
30, 2002, from $1,105,999,000 at December 31, 2001. Non-interest bearing
deposits increased $2,297,000 or 1.7% to $140,982,000 at September 30, 2002,
from $138,685,000 at December 31, 2001. Interest-bearing deposits increased
$62,482,000 or 6.5% to $1,029,796,000 at September 30, 2002, from $967,314,000
at December 31, 2001.
The Corporation had no short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2002, as
compared to $2,000,000 at December 31, 2001. Long-term debt increased
$33,000,000 or 70.2% to $80,021,000 at September 30, 2002, as compared to
$47,021,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in long-term debt is due to
increases in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances outstanding which were used
primarily to fund loan growth.
In the first nine months of 2002, the Corporation repurchased 155,368 shares of
its common stock at an aggregate cost of $3,353,000. The Corporation is
purchasing shares for the treasury as they become available in order to meet
future issuance requirements of previously granted non-qualified stock options
and pursuant to the Board-approved Stock Repurchase Plan. During the first nine
months of 2002, 229,000 stock options were granted at an exercise price of
$21.84 per share. During the first nine months of 2002, there were 48,600
outstanding options exercised. As of September 30, 2002, there were 236,200
outstanding options currently exercisable with exercise prices ranging between
$12.13 and $20.06 per share. There were an additional 350,792 stock options
outstanding but not currently exercisable with exercise prices ranging between
$16.75 and 21.84 per share.
The following table sets forth the components of non-performing assets and past
due loans.

The ratio of non-performing assets to loans plus non-performing assets increased
to 0.76% at September 30, 2002, from 0.23% at December 31, 2001. This was due
primarily to an increase in the balance of other real estate owned. The increase
in other real estate owned is due primarily to the addition of $4.0 million for
one large commercial credit in the hotel industry. Busey Bank became mortgagee
in possession on June 28, 2002, and will remain so pending completion of
foreclosure proceedings which are expected to be completed during the first
quarter of 2003. Busey Bank has added $360,000 to the balance of this property
within other real estate owned for renovation work performed on the property.
Loans past due and still accruing at September 30, 2002, were $955,000 or 0.09%
of total loans, compared to $959,000 or 0.10% of total loans as of December 31,
2001. These loans are in the process of collection, and management believes that
sufficient collateral value securing these loans exists to cover contractual
interest and principal payments on the loans.
RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Corporation maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level management
believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans based on
an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. The
allowance is calculated using a risk rating system which involves judgments,
estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. This risk rating
system is based on continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans, current and anticipated
economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay, historical
loan loss experience and other factors, which, in management's opinion, deserve
current recognition in estimating loan losses. Changes in these factors or
conditions could have significant impact on the Corporation's financial
condition or results of operation.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS
Potential problem loans are those loans which are not categorized as impaired,
non-accrual, past due or restructured, but where current information indicates
that the borrower may not be able to comply with present loan repayment terms.
Management assesses the potential for loss on such loans as it would with other
problem loans and has considered the effect of any potential loss in determining
its provision for possible loan losses. Potential problem loans totaled $706,000
at September 30, 2002 as compared to $889,000 as of December 31, 2001. There are
no other loans identified which management believes represent or result from
trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially
impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources. There are no
other credits identified about which management is aware of any information
which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such
borrower(s) to comply with the loan repayment terms.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
SUMMARY
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $1,563,000 or
13.0% to $13,549,000 as compared to $11,986,000 for the comparable period in
2001. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.11 or 12.5% to $0.99 for the first
nine months of 2002, as compared to $0.88 for the same period in 2001.
Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense,
were $13,206,000, or $0.97 per share for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, as compared to $11,337,000, or $0.83 per share for the same period in
2001.
The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.38% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, as compared to 1.22% for the comparable period in 2001. The
return on average assets from operations of 1.34% for
11 of 30
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 19 basis points higher than the
1.15% level achieved in the comparable period of 2001.
EARNING ASSETS, SOURCES OF FUNDS, AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Average earning assets for the first nine months of 2002 were $1,228,683,000,
down $9,453,000 or 0.8% from $1,238,136,000 for the same period in 2001. The
average balance of loans grew $31,855,000 or 3.3% to $999,053,000 for the first
nine months of 2002 as compared to $967,198,000 for the same period in 2001. The
increase in average loan balances outstanding was partially offset by decreases
in the average balances in Federal funds sold, U.S. Government obligations, and
other securities. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1,069,549,000 for the
nine months ending September 30, 2002, a decrease of $23,305,000 or 2.1% from
the average of $1,092,854,000 for the same period in 2001. Runoff in interest
bearing transaction, time deposits and short-term borrowings was replaced by
growth in savings and money market deposits as well as long-term debt.
The Corporation's net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average
earning assets stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.79% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, or 18 basis points higher than the 3.61%
for the same period in 2001. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage
of average total assets, also on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.54% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, or 15 basis points higher than the to
3.39% for the same period in 2001.
Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, decreased $12,896,000 or 18.3% to $57,740,000 from $70,636,000 for the
comparable period in 2001. The decrease in interest income resulted due to the
decline in the rates earned on all categories of average earning assets,
partially offset by increases in the average balances of obligations of states
and political subdivisions and loans. The average yield on interest-earning
assets decreased to 6.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from
7.63% for the same period in 2001, due to decreases in the yields on all
categories of interest-earning assets.
Interest expense decreased $14,346,000 or 38.5% to $22,898,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to $37,244,000 for the prior year
period. This decrease resulted partially from changes in the mix of funding
sources but primarily is the result of the decline in rates paid on all
categories of interest-bearing liabilities.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses of $2,055,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 is $910,000 more than the provision of $1,145,000 for the comparable
period in 2001. The provision and the net charge-offs of $1,476,000 for the
period resulted in the reserve representing 1.37% of total loans and 597% of
non-performing loans at September 30, 2002, as compared to the reserve
representing 1.40% of total loans and 615% of non-performing loans at December
31, 2001. The adequacy of the reserve for loan losses is consistent with
management's consideration of the composition of the portfolio, non-performing
asset levels, recent credit quality experience, historic charge-off trends, and
prevailing economic conditions among other factors. The net chargeoff ratio (net
chargeoffs as percentage of average loans) was 0.15% for the nine months ending
September 30, 2002, an increase from 0.05% for the same period in 2001.
Like many other financial institutions, the Corporation is concerned about the
continued weakening of the economy in 2002. Should the economic climate continue
to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of
non-performing loans, chargeoffs, and delinquencies could rise and require
further increases in the provision for loan losses, which may cause the
Corporation's net income to decrease.
OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Corporation recognized
security gains of approximately $343,000, after income taxes, representing 2.5%
of net income. During the same period in 2001, security gains of $649,000, after
income taxes, were recognized, representing 5.4% of net income.
12 of 30
Total other income, excluding security gains, increased $399,000 or 2.6% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001.
Growth in service charge income and gains on the sale of loans offset declines
in net commissions from travel services and other operation income. In December,
2001, the Corporation sold the customer list of its travel agency subsidiary. As
a result of this sale, no commissions from travel services have been recognized
in the nine months ending September 30, 2002, as compared to $707,000 for the
comparable period in 2001.
Gains of $2,383,000 were recognized on the sale of $154,224,000 of pooled loans
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to gains of $1,634,000
on the sale of $174,944,000 of pooled loans in the prior year period. Management
anticipates continued sales from the current mortgage loan production of the
Corporation in order to maintain the asset/liability structure the Corporation
is trying to effect. The Corporation may realize gains and/or losses on these
sales dependent upon interest rate movements and upon how receptive the debt
markets are to mortgage backed securities.
Total other expenses decreased $957,000 or 3.3% to $27,968,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $28,925,000 for the same period
in 2001.
Salaries and wages expense decreased $55,000 or 0.4%, and employee benefits
expense increased $84,000 or 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
as compared to the same period last year. The Corporation had 470 full time
equivalent employees as of September 30, 2002 as compared to 490 as of September
30, 2001.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses decreased $414,000 or 8.0% to
$4,793,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $5,207,000 in the
prior year period.
The Corporation's net overhead expense, total non-interest expense less
non-interest income, excluding security gains, divided by average assets,
decreased to 1.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 1.36% in
the prior year period as a result of the income and expense items described
above.
The Corporation's efficiency ratio is defined as operating expenses divided by
net revenue. More specifically, it is defined as non-interest expense expressed
as a percentage of the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and
non-interest income, excluding security gains. The consolidated efficiency ratio
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 55.1% as compared to 59.1% for
the prior year period.
Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 decreased to
$6,788,000 as compared to $6,922,000 for the comparable period in 2001. As a
percent of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes decreased to
33.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 36.6% for the same
period in 2001. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before
taxes has decreased due to the addition of income from bank owned life
insurance, which is nontaxable to the Corporation, and to the reduction in
nondeductible amortization expense.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AS COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
SUMMARY
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $711,000 or
18.4% to $4,572,000 as compared to $3,861,000 for the comparable period in 2001.
Diluted earnings per share increased $0.05 or 17.9% to $0.33 for the quarter
ending September 30, 2002, as compared to $0.28 for the same period in 2001.
Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense,
were $4,514,000, or $0.33 per share for the three months ended September 30,
2002, as compared to $3,738,000, or $0.27 per share for the same period in 2001.
13 of 30
The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.34% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, as compared to 1.17% achieved for the comparable period in
2001. The return on average assets from operations of 1.32% for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 is 18 basis points higher than the 1.14% level achieved
in the comparable period of 2001.
EARNING ASSETS, SOURCES OF FUNDS, AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Average earning assets for the three months ending September 30, 2002, were
$1,267,704,000, an increase of $42,472,000 or 3.5% from $1,225,232,000 for the
same period in 2001. The average balance of loans outstanding increased
$71,149,000 or 7.5% to $1,022,300,000 for the three months ending September 30,
2002, as compared to $951,151,000 for the same period in 2001. Growth in average
loans and obligations of states and political subdivisions was partially offset
by declines in the average balances of Federal funds sold, U.S. Government
obligations, and other securities.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $35,357,000 or 3.3% to
$1,106,560,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2002, from
$1,071,203,000 for the same period in 2001. Growth in savings deposits, money
market deposits, and long-term debt contributed additional funding for the loan
growth. This growth was partially offset by runoff in interest-bearing
transaction deposits, time deposits, and short-term borrowing.
The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average earning assets was
3.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, or 15 basis points higher
than the 3.59% level achieved for the like period in 2001. The net interest
margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets was 3.49% for the three
months ended September 30, 2002, or 12 basis points higher than the 3.37% for
the same period in 2001.
Interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased $2,641,000 or
11.8% to $19,684,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from the same
period in 2001. The average rate earned on all categories of interest-earning
assets declined 107 basis points to 6.16% for the three months ending September
30, 2002, compared to 7.23% for the same period in 2001. Yields for all
categories of interest-earning assets were lower in the third quarter of 2002
compared to the same period in 2001. Growth in the average balances of
obligations of state and political subdivisions and loans partially offset the
decline in interest income.
Total interest expense decreased $3,502,000, or 31.2% to $7,737,000, for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $11,239,000 for the prior
year period. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 139
basis points to 2.77% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 4.16% for the
third quarter of 2001. Declines in the rates paid on all categories of
interest-bearing liabilities were partially offset by the changes in the mix of
funding sources.
OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Corporation recognized
security gains of approximately $58,000, after income taxes, representing 1.3%
of net income. During the same period in 2001, security gains of approximately
$123,000, after income taxes, were recognized, representing 3.2% of net income.
Total other income, excluding security transactions, increased $54,000 or 1.0%
to $5,340,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to
$5,286,000 for the same period in 2001. Growth in service charge income and
gains on the sale of pooled loans offset the declines in net commissions from
travel services and other operating income. Gains of $1,027,000 were recognized
on the sale of $54,658,000 of pooled loans for the three months ended September
30, 2002 as compared to gains of $668,000 on the sale of $77,519,000 of pooled
loans in the prior year period.
Total other expenses decreased 2.3% or $222,000 to $9,573,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $9,795,000 during the same period
in 2001.
Salaries and wages expense decreased $54,000 or 1.2% and employee benefits
expense increased $64,000 or 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
as compared to the same period last year. Occupancy and furniture and equipment
expenses decreased $142,000 or 8.3% to $1,564,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 from $1,706,000 in the prior year period.
14 of 30
The consolidated efficiency ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2002
was 55.4% as compared to 59.8% for the prior year period.
Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2002 remained relatively
constant at $2,331,000 as compared to $2,336,000 for the comparable period in
2001. As a percent of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes
decreased to 33.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 37.7% for
the same period in 2001. The provision for income taxes as a percentage of
income before taxes decreased due to the addition of income from bank owned life
insurance, which is nontaxable to the Corporation, and to the reduction in
nondeductible amortization expense.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet all present and future financial
obligations arising in the daily operations of the business at a minimal cost.
These financial obligations consist of needs for funds to meet extensions of
credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing.
The sources of short-term liquidity utilized by the Corporation consist of
non-reinvested asset maturities, deposits and capital funds. Long-term liquidity
needs will be satisfied primarily through retention of capital funds. The
Corporation has not dealt in or relied on brokered deposits as a source of
liquidity. The Corporation generally does not rely upon the purchases of federal
funds for liquidity needs. Additional liquidity is provided by bank lines of
credit, repurchase agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve
Bank and the Federal Home Loan Banks of Chicago and Atlanta. The Corporation has
an operating line with American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in
the amount of $10,000,000 with all of which was available as of September 30,
2002.
The Corporation's dependence on large liabilities (defined as time deposits over
$100,000 and short-term borrowings) decreased to 8.0% at September 30, 2002 from
8.6% at December 31, 2001. This is the ratio of total large liabilities to total
liabilities, and is low in comparison to the Corporation's peers. This decrease
was due to a change in the composition of total liabilities. Total large
liabilities fell just $277,000 or 0.3% to $102,807,000 as of September 30, 2002,
compared to $103,084,000 as of December 31, 2001, yet total liabilities grew
$94,531,000 or 7.9% to $1,289,430,000 as of September 30, 2002, compared to
$1,194,899,000 as of December 31, 2001.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Other than from the issuance of common stock, the Corporation's primary source
of capital is retained net income. During the nine months ended September 30,
2002, the Corporation earned $13,549,000 and paid dividends of $6,102,000 to
stockholders, resulting in a retention of current earnings of $7,447,000. The
Corporation's dividend payout for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
45.0%.
The Corporation and the Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal and state banking agencies. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Corporation and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve the
quantitative measure of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Quantitative measures
established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and
the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below)
of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2002, that the Corporation
and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the volatility of the net interest
margin as a consequence of changes in market rates. The rate-sensitivity chart
shows the interval of time in which given volumes of rate-sensitive, earning
assets and rate-sensitive interest-bearing liabilities would be responsive to
changes in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or terms
for repricing. It is, however, only a static single-day depiction of the
Corporation's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to
changes in forecasted interest rates.

Cumulative ratio (cumulative

=====================================================================================
The foregoing table shows a negative (liability sensitive) rate-sensitivity gap
of $121.3 million in the 1-30 day repricing category as there were more
liabilities subject to repricing during that time period than there were assets
subject to repricing within that same time period. The volume of assets subject
to repricing exceeds the volume of liabilities subject to repricing for all time
periods beyond 30 days. On a cumulative basis, however, the gap remains
liability sensitive through one year. The composition of the gap structure as of
September 30, 2002, will benefit the Corporation more if interest rates decrease
during the next year by allowing the net interest margin to grow as liability
rates would reprice more quickly than the rates on rate-sensitive assets. After
one year, a rate increase would benefit the Corporation because the volume of
rate-sensitive assets subject to repricing would exceed the volume of
rate-sensitive liabilities subject to repricing.
The funds management policies of Busey Bank and Busey Bank Florida require the
banks to maintain a cumulative rate-sensitivity ratio of .75 - 1.25 in the
90-day, 180-day, and 1 year time periods. As of September 30, 2002, the banks
and the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, are within those guidelines.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation includes forward looking statements that are intended to be
covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements include but are not limited
to comments with respect to the objectives and strategies, financial condition,
results of operations and business of the Corporation.
These forward looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks
and uncertainties, both general and specific, and the risk that predictions and
other forward looking statements will not be achieved. The Corporation cautions
you not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements as a number
of important factors could cause actual future results to differ materially from
the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such
forward looking statements.
These risks, uncertainties and other factors include the general state of the
economy, both on a local and national level, the ability of the Corporation to
successfully complete acquisitions, the continued growth of geographic regions
served by the Corporation, and the retention of individuals who currently are
very important in the management structure of the Corporation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying
market rates and prices. Interest-rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital
arising from movements in interest rates. Interest-rate risk is the most
significant market risk affecting the Corporation as other types of market risk,
such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not
arise in the normal course of the Corporation's business activities.
The Corporation's banks have asset-liability committees which meets monthly to
review current market conditions and attempts to structure the Bank's and
Thrift's balance sheets to ensure stable net interest income despite potential
changes in interest rates with all other variables constant.
The asset-liability committee uses gap analysis to identify mismatches in the
dollar value of assets and liabilities subject to repricing within specific time
periods. The Funds Management Policies established by the asset-liability
committees and approved by the Corporation's board of directors establishes
guidelines for maintaining the ratio of cumulative rate-sensitive assets to
rate-sensitive liabilities within prescribed ranges at certain intervals.
The committee does not rely solely on gap analysis to manage interest-rate risk
as interest rate changes do not impact all categories of assets and liabilities
equally or simultaneously. The asset-liability committee supplements gap
analysis with balance sheet and income simulation analysis to determine the
potential impact on net interest income of changes in market interest rates. In
these simulation models the balance sheet is projected out over a one-year
period and net interest income is calculated under current market rates, and
then assuming permanent instantaneous shifts in the yield curve of -175 basis
points, +/- 100 basis points, and + 200 basis points. These interest-rate
scenarios indicate the interest rate risk of the Corporation over a one-year
time horizon due to changes in interest rates, as of September 30, 2002, is as
follows:
Basis Point Changes
------------------------------------------------
-175 -100 +100 +200
------------------------------------------------
Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate change
in interest rates over a one-year period -3.20% -0.02% 2.02% 3.96%

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Corporation's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, the Corporation's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the
Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms.
In addition, since their evaluation, there have been no significant changes to
the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
