NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Murfreesboro Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Bank of Murfreesboro.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management,
the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and
disclosures necessary to summarize fairly the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the results of
operations for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
comprehensive earnings for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
and changes in cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and
1998. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements
presented in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders. The results
of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the complete fiscal year.
(2) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," was adopted by the Company on January
1, 1998. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive
income. Comprehensive income includes net income and other
comprehensive net income which is defined as non-owner related
transactions in equity. The following table sets forth the amounts of
other comprehensive income included in equity along with the related
tax effect for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was 907,609. The effect of
dilutive common stock options was 17,800 shares for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. There were no dilutive items outstanding during the
quarter ending March 31, 1998.

(4) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
During 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5) Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.
Under SOP 98-5, all start-up costs should be expensed as incurred which
differed from the prior method of capitalization of such costs and
amortizing using the straight-line-method over a sixty month term. In
accordance with SOP 98-5, the Company expensed organizational costs of
approximately $38,000 with no tax benefit recorded as a full allowance
for deferred tax assets had been established as of the beginning of the
quarter. This change in Accounting Principle increased the loss per
share by $0.04 for both basic and dilutive purposes.
(5) YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUE
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of
the Company's programs that have time sensitive software may recognize
the date as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result
in a major system failure or miscalculations. The Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council recognizes five phases that banks must
complete to achieve Year 2000 readiness: 1) Awareness of the potential
risks associated with Year 2000; 2) Assessment of all information and
environmental systems needing enhancements; 3) Renovation of the
systems that are not Year 2000 ready; 4) Validation of the renovated
systems to assure Year 2000 readiness; and 5) Implementation of the
renovated product into the ongoing operations. The Corporation has
completed the Awareness, Assessment and Renovation phases and is
currently in the process of validating its core processing systems for
Year 2000 readiness. At this time it is not expected that expenses to
address year 2000 issues will materially impact future operating
results.
The following section contains forward-looking statements, which
involve risks and uncertainties. The actual impact of the Year 2000
issue on the Bank could materially differ from that which is
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors identified below.
Company's State of Readiness
Management is aware of the possibility of exposure by banks to a
computer problem known as the "Year 2000 Problem" or the "Millennium
Bug" (the inability of some computer programs to distinguish between
the year 1900 and the year 2000). If not corrected, some computer
applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year
2000. This could cause entire system failures, miscalculations, and
disruptions of normal business operations including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send statements,
or engage in similar day to day business activities. The extent of the
potential impact of the Year 2000 Problem in not yet known, and if not
timely corrected, it could affect the global economy.
Management has assessed the extent of vulnerability of the Bank's
computer systems to the problem. The Company entered into a contract
with Financial Data Technologies, Inc. (FiData) of Franklin, Tennessee
to handle data processing functions. FiData uses Information
Technology, Inc. (ITI) software and a Unisys mainframe computer.
Management studied ITI and FiData's Year 2000 preparation when
selecting a data processor. Unisys and ITI have been doing internal
testing of their equipment and FiData is presently testing their
computer system using the Bank's data. Management performed testing in
1998 and plans further testing in 1999.
Risk Assessment of Year 2000
The Company believes that, with modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose a
significant operational problem for the
6
8
Company. However, because most computer systems are, by their very
nature, interdependent, it is possible that non-compliant third party
computers could impact the Company's computer systems.
Additionally, the Company has taken steps to communicate with the third
parties, such as wire transfer systems, telephone systems, electric
companies and other utility companies with which it deals to coordinate
Year 2000 compliance but could be adversely affected if it or the
unrelated third parties are unsuccessful. The Company is also assessing
the impact, if any, the Year 2000 may have on its large loan (credit
risk) and deposit customers.
Cost of Year 2000
As described above, our primary systems are Year 2000 compliant;
therefore, little programming costs will be incurred. Most of the costs
incurred in addressing this problem are related to planning and
internal testing and validation, which are expected to be expensed as
incurred. The financial impact to the Company of Year 2000 compliance
has not been and is not anticipated to be material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations for 1998 or 1999. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not
limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this
area, the replacement of noncompliance of third party vendors, and
similar uncertainties.
Contingency Plans
Management, in conjunction with its Year 2000 and Disaster Recovery
consultants, is in the process of modifying its disaster recover plans
to include the response to a Year 2000 problem in a most likely worst
case scenario. The Company's preliminary contingency plans involve the
use of manual labor to compensate for the loss temporary of certain
automated computer systems or third party vendors.

PART I
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the information and
tables which follow.
SUMMARY
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $211,000 and the net income
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $53,000.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Earning Assets. Average earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
totaled $32,587,000, which represented 91.8% of average total assets. Earning
assets totaled $39,360,000 at March 31, 1998. Average earning assets for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled $71,502,000, which represented 93.0% of
average total assets. Earning assets totaled $73,030,000 at March 31, 1999.
Loan Portfolio. The Company's average loans for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
were $9,876,000 and for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $41,019,000. The
balance in total loans at March 31, 1998 was $14,473,000 and $45,510,000 at
March 31, 1999.
Investment Portfolio. The Company's investment securities portfolio averaged
$17,619,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and $28,041,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. The portfolio totaled $22,322,000 at March 31, 1998 and
$24,033,000 at March 31, 1999.
The Company maintains an investment strategy of seeking portfolio yields within
acceptable risk levels, as well as providing liquidity. The Company maintains
two classifications of investment securities: "Held to Maturity" and "Available
for Sale." The "Available for Sale" securities are carried at fair market value,
whereas the "Held to Maturity" securities are carried at amortized book value.
At March 31, 1998, unrealized losses in the "Available for Sale" portfolio
amounted to $3,000 and there was an unrealized loss of $23,000 at March 31,
1999. The average balance of securities "Available for Sale" during the quarter
ended March 31, 1998 was $16,599,000 and the balance at March 31, 1998 was
$18,771,000. The average balance of securities "Held to Maturity" during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $1,020,000 and the balance at March 31, 1998
was $3,551,000. The average balance of securities "Available for Sale" during
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $19,192,000 and the balance at March 31,
1999 was $14,656,000. The average balance of securities "Held to Maturity"
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $8,849,000 and the balance at March
31, 1999 was $9,377,000.
Deposits. The Company's average deposits were $26,759,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. This included average non-interest-bearing deposits of
$1,154,000, average certificates of deposit of $12,082,000, average saving
deposits of $90,000 and average interest-bearing transaction accounts of
$13,433,000. The Company's average deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
were $65,157,000. This included average non-interest-bearing deposits of
$2,822,000, average certificates of deposit of $33,928,000, average savings
deposits of $259,000 and average interest-bearing transaction accounts of
$28,148,000. Deposits at March 31, 1998 were $33,603,000 and $65,672,000 at
March 31, 1999.
Capital Resources. Shareholders' equity totaled $8,561,000 at of March 31, 1999.
This included $9,068,000 of common stock and additional paid-in-capital less a
deficit of $493,000 and other comprehensive income in the form of an unrealized
loss on securities available for sale of $14,000.

BALANCE SHEET MANAGEMENT
Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability of a company to convert assets
into cash without significant loss and to raise funds by increasing liabilities.
Liquidity management involves having the ability to meet the day-to-day cash
flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to
withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs.
The primary function of asset/liability management is not only to assure
adequate liquidity in order for the Company to meet the needs of its customer
base, but to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets
and interest-sensitive liabilities so that the Company can profitably deploy its
assets. Both assets and liabilities are considered sources of liquidity funding
and both are, therefore, monitored on a daily basis.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through
investments in federal funds and maturities of investment securities. Additional
sources of liquidity are loan repayments and possible prepayments from the
mortgage-backed securities from the investment portfolio.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various
interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit accounts. At March 31, 1998
and March 31, 1999, the Company had $2,300,000 of federal funds purchase lines
available at three correspondent banks. None of these lines were drawn at March
31, 1999 or March 31, 1998.
Because of the level of capital obtained in formation, no additional capital
funds or notes payable are anticipated to be deemed necessary during the next
twelve months.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the principal component of a
financial institution's income stream and represents the spread between interest
and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on
deposits. The following discussion is on a fully taxable equivalent basis.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 totaled $194,000. This
was the result of interest income of $538,000 and interest expense of $344,000.
Interest income produced by the loan portfolio totaled $206,000, interest income
on investment securities totaled $260,000, and interest income on federal funds
totaled $72,000. Interest expense included $173,000 of interest expense on
certificates of deposit, interest expense of $125,000 on interest-bearing
transaction accounts, interest expense of $45,000 on money market demand
accounts, and savings accounts of $1,000.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled $573,000. This
was the result of interest income of $1,273,000 and interest expense of
$700,000. Interest income produced by the loan portfolio totaled $846,000,
interest income on investment securities totaled $397,000 and interest income on
federal funds totaled $30,000. Interest expense included $432,000 of interest
expense on certificates of deposit, interest expense of $159,000 on
interest-bearing transaction accounts, interest expense of $79,000 on money
market demand accounts, interest expense on savings accounts of $1,000 and
interest expense on repurchase agreements of $29,000.

11
The trend in net interest income is commonly evaluated in terms of average rates
using the net interest margin and the interest rate spread. The net interest
margin, or the net yield on earning assets, is computed by dividing fully
taxable equivalent net interest income by average earning assets. This ratio
represents the difference between the average yield on average earning assets
and the average rate paid for all funds used to support those earning assets.
The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 2.38%. The net
cost of funds, defined as interest expense divided by average-earning assets,
was 4.28% and the yield on earning assets was 6.60% for the quarter ended March
31, 1998. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
3.25%. The net cost of funds for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was 3.97% and
the yield on earning assets was 7.22%.
The interest rate spread measures the difference between the average yield on
earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing sources of funds.
The interest rate spread eliminates the impact of non-interest bearing funds and
gives a direct perspective on the effect of market interest rate movements.
During recent years, the net interest margins and interest rate spreads have
been under intense pressure to maintain historical levels, due in part to tax
laws that discouraged investment in tax-exempt securities and intense
competition for funds with non-bank institutions. The interest rate spread for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 1.23% and for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 was 2.86%.
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses. Lending officers are responsible for the
ongoing review and administration of each loan. They make the initial
identification of loans that present some difficulty in collection or where
there is an indication that the probability of loss exists. Lending officers are
responsible for the collection effort on a delinquent loan. Senior management is
informed of the status of delinquent and problem loans on a monthly basis.
Senior management makes recommendations monthly to the board of directors as to
charge-offs. Senior management reviews the allowance for possible loan losses on
a quarterly basis. The Company's policy is to discontinue interest accrual when
payment of principal and interest is 90 days or more in arrears, unless there is
sufficient collateral to justify continued accrual.
The allowance for possible loan losses represents management's assessment of the
risks associated with extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the
loan portfolio. Management analyzes the loan portfolio to determine the adequacy
of the allowance for possible loan losses and the appropriate provisions
required to maintain a level considered adequate to absorb anticipated loan
losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management reviews the size,
quality and risk of loans in the portfolio. Management also considers such
factors as loan loss experience, the amount of past due and non-performing
loans, specific known risk, the status and amount of non-performing assets,
underlying collateral values securing loans, current and anticipated economic
conditions and other factors which affect the allowance for potential credit
losses.
While it is the Company's policy to charge off in the current period the loans
in which a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future
losses that cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or
classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy,
management's judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily
approximate and imprecise.
Management believes that the $473,000 at December 31, 1998 and $569,000 at March
31, 1999 in the allowance for possible loan losses are adequate to absorb known
risks in the portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse
economic circumstances will not result in increased losses in the loan
portfolio, and require greater provisions for possible loan losses in the
future.
10
12
Non-performing Assets. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and
foreclosed real estate held for sale. Non-performing loans include loans
classified as non-accrual or renegotiated. The Company's policy is to place a
loan on non-accrual status when it is contractually past due 90 days or more as
to payment of principal or interest unless there is reason to believe the
collection of principal and interest is fairly certain. At the time a loan is
placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Inflation generally increases the cost of funds and operating overhead and to
the extent loans and other assets bear variable rates, the yields on such
assets. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a
financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally
have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects
financial institutions' cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of
salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and similar items. Inflation and
related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of
investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings and
stockholders' equity. Mortgage originations and refinancings tend to slow as
interest rates increase and can reduce the Company's earnings from such
activities and the income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the
secondary market.

INVESTMENT POLICY
The objective of the Company's investment policy is to invest funds not
otherwise needed to meet the loan demand of the Bank's market area to earn the
maximum return for the Bank, yet still maintain sufficient liquidity to meet
fluctuations in the Bank's loan demand and deposit structure. In doing so, the
Company balances the market and credit risk against the potential investment
return, makes investments compatible with the pledge requirements of the Bank's
deposits of public funds, maintains compliance with regulatory investment
requirements, and assists the various public entities with their financing
needs. The Investment Committee is comprised of the president and three other
directors. The President is authorized to execute security transactions for the
investment portfolio and to make decisions on purchases and sales of securities.
All the investment transactions occurring since the previous board of directors'
meeting are reviewed by the board at its next monthly meeting. Limitations on
the Committee's investment authority include: (a) investment in any one
municipal security may not exceed 20% of equity capital; (b) the entire
investment portfolio may not increase or decrease by more than 10% in any one
month; (c) investments in obligations of the State of Tennessee may not exceed
30% of equity capital; and (d) investment in mortgage-backed securities may not
exceed more than 40% of equity capital. The investment policy allows portfolio
holdings to include short-term securities purchased to provide the Bank's needed
liquidity and longer-term securities purchased to generate stable income for the
Bank during periods of interest rate fluctuations.

LOAN POLICY
All lending activities of the Bank are under the direct supervision and control
of the Bank's Board with secondary authority vested in the Executive Committee.
The Senior Loan Committee, which consists of the president, one other director
and two senior lending officers, enforces loan authorizations for each officer,
decides on loans exceeding such limits, services all requests for officer
credits to the extent allowable under current laws and regulations, administers
all problem credits, and determines the allocation of funds for each lending
division. The loan portfolio consists primarily of real estate, commercial,
small business, residential construction and consumer installment loans.
Maturity of term loans is normally limited to 15 years. Conventional real estate
loans may be made up to 80% of the appraised value or purchase cost of the real
estate for no more than a 30-year term. Installment loans are based on the
earning capacity and vocational stability of the borrower.
The Bank board at its regularly scheduled meetings reviews all new loans made
the preceding month and discusses and approves any loans that exceed a loan
officer's authority. Loans that are 30 days or more past due are reviewed
monthly.
The Loan Committee of the Bank periodically reviews the loan portfolio,
particularly nonaccrual and renegotiated loans. Each loan officer is responsible
for monitoring and collecting his or her own loan portfolio. Loan Committee
review may result in a determination that a loan should be placed on a
nonaccrual status for income recognition, subject to Bank Board approval. In
addition, to the extent that management identifies potential losses in the loan
portfolio and reduces the book value of such loans through charge-offs, to their
estimated collectible value, the Company's policy is to classify as nonaccrual
any loan on which payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due,
unless there is adequate collateral to cover principal and accrued interest and
the loan is in the process of collection. No concessions are granted and late
fees are collected. In addition, a loan will be classified as nonaccrual if, in
the opinion of the Loan Committee, based upon a review of the borrower's or
guarantor's financial condition, collateral value or other factors, payment is
questionable, even though payments are not 90 days or more past due.
When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, any unpaid interest is reversed against
current income. Interest is included in income thereafter only to the extent
received in cash. The loan remains in a nonaccrual classification until such
time as the loan is brought current, when it may be returned to accrual
classification. When principal or interest on a nonaccrual loan is brought
current, if in management's opinion future payments are questionable, the loan
would remain classified as nonaccrual. After a nonaccrual or renegotiated loan
is charged off, any subsequent payments of either interest or principal are
applied first to any remaining balance outstanding, then to recoveries and
lastly to income.
The large number of consumer installment loans and the relatively small dollar
amount of each make an individual review impracticable. It is the Company's
policy to charge off any consumer installment loan that is past due 90 days or
more and are not adequately collateralized.
In addition, mortgage loans secured by real estate are placed on nonaccrual
status when the mortgagor is in bankruptcy, or foreclosure proceedings are
instituted
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
Credit risk and exposure to loss are inherent parts of the banking business.
Management seeks to manage and minimize these risks through its loan and
investment policies and loan review procedures. Management establishes and
continually reviews lending and investment criteria and approval procedures that
it believes reflect the risk sensitive nature of the Company. The loan review
procedures are set to monitor adherence to the established criteria and to
ensure that on a continuing basis such standards are enforced and maintained.
Management's objective in establishing lending and investment standards is to
manage the risk of loss and to provide for income generation through pricing
policies. To effectuate this policy, the Company makes
23
25
commercial real estate loans with a three-year or less fixed maturity, which may
be amortized over a maximum of 15 years.
The loan portfolio is regularly reviewed and management determines the amount of
loans to be charged-off. In addition, such factors as the Company's previous
loan loss experience, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, industry
concentrations and the overall quality of the loan portfolio are considered.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
real estate owned, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on
changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance
for possible losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may require
the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments
about information available at the time of their examinations. In addition, any
loan or portion thereof which is classified as a "loss" by regulatory examiners
is charged-off.
The allowance for possible loan losses is increased by provisions charged to
operating expense. The allowance for possible loan losses is reduced by charging
off loans or portions of loans at the time they are deemed by management to be
uncollectible and increased when loans previously charged off are recovered. The
resulting allowance for possible loan losses is viewed by management as a
single, unallocated reserve available for all loans and, in management's
opinion, is adequate to provide for reasonably foreseeable potential loan
losses. The risk associated with loans varies with the creditworthiness of the
borrower, the type of loan (consumer, commercial or real estate) and its
maturity. Cash flow adequate to support a repayment schedule is an element
considered for all types of loans. Real estate loans are impacted by market
conditions regarding the value of the underlying property used as collateral.
Commercial loans are also impacted by the management of the business as well as
economic conditions. Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses
is adequate to absorb such anticipated charge-offs.
Rules and formulas relative to the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan
losses, although useful as guidelines to management, are not rigidly applied.
The allowance for possible loan losses was $569,000 as of March 31, 1999 or
1.25% of loans outstanding. The allowance for possible loan losses was $473,000
as of December 31, 1998, or 1.25% of loans outstanding. No loans were
charged-off (nor any recoveries made) during 1999. The provision for possible
loan losses charged against earnings during 1999 was $96,000. Loans totaling
$1,000 were charged-off (with no recoveries made) during the year ended December
31, 1998. The provision for possible loan losses charged against earnings during
the year ended December 31, 1998 was $406,000.
There were no non-performing loans of the Company on at March 31, 1999 or at
December 31, 1998. This includes non-accrual loans and restructured loans.
Accrual of interest is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the
full, timely collections of interest or principal. When a loan becomes
contractually past due ninety (90) days with respect to interest or principal,
it is reviewed and a determination is made as to whether it should be placed on
non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest
previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest
income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is
received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest
accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with
respect to principal and interest and when, in the judgment of management, the
loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to principal and interest.
Restructured loans are those loans on which concessions in terms have been
granted because of a borrower's financial difficulty. Interest is generally
accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms. There was no other real
estate owned or foreclosed, any repossessed assets or impaired loans at March
31, 1999 or at December 31, 1998. There was $3,000 of loans past due ninety or
more days at December 31, 1998 and still accruing interest and $8,000 of loans
past due ninety or more days at March 31, 1999 and still accruing interest.
LIQUIDITY
Of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators is the ability to
have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities. The
Company's liquidity, represented by cash and cash due from banks, is a result of
its operating, investing and financing activities. In order to insure funds are
24
26
available at all times, the Company devotes resources to projecting on a monthly
basis the amount of funds that will be required and maintains relationships with
a diversified customer base so funds are accessible. Liquidity requirements can
also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term
assets, which are generally matched to correspond to the maturity of
liabilities.
The Company has a formal liquidity policy, and in the opinion of management, its
liquidity levels are considered adequate. Neither the Company nor the Bank is
subject to any specific regulation liquidity requirements imposed by regulatory
authorities. The Bank is subject to general FDIC guidelines, which do not
require a minimum level of liquidity. Management believes its liquidity ratios
meet or exceed these guidelines. Management does not know of any trends or
demands that are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material manner. The ratio for average loans to average
deposits for 1998 was 51.1% and for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was 63.0%.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital required to sustain asset growth
over time and to absorb losses. The objective of the Company's management is to
maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to take advantage of
profitable growth opportunities while meeting regulatory requirements. This is
achieved by improving profitability through effectively allocating resources to
more profitable businesses, improving asset quality, strengthening service
quality, and streamlining costs. The primary measures used by management to
monitor the results of these efforts are the ratios of average equity to average
assets, average tangible equity to average tangible assets, and average equity
to net loans. The Federal Reserve Board and FDIC have adopted capital guidelines
governing the activities of bank holding companies and banks. These guidelines
require the maintenance of an amount of capital based on risk-adjusted assets so
that categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more
capital backing than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks and bank holding
companies are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis,
certain off-balance sheet activities such as loan commitments.
The capital guidelines classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier I
and Tier II. Under risk-based capital requirements, total capital consists of
Tier I capital, which is generally common shareholders' equity less goodwill and
excess tax assets, and Tier II capital which is primarily the qualifying portion
of the allowance for possible loan losses and certain qualifying debt
instruments. In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned
risk-weights of 0% to 100%, depending primarily on the regulatory assigned
levels of credit risk associated with such assets. Off-balance sheet items are
considered in the calculation of risk-adjusted assets through conversion factors
established by the regulators. The framework for calculating risk-based capital
requires banks and bank holding companies to meet the regulatory minimums of 4%
Tier I and 8% total risk-based capital. In 1990 regulators added a leverage
computation to the capital requirements, comparing Tier I capital to total
average assets less goodwill and excess tax assets.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
established five capital categories for banks and bank holding companies. The
bank regulators adopted regulations defining these five capital categories in
September 1992. Under these new regulations each bank is classified into one of
the five categories based on its level of risk-based capital as measured by Tier
I capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier I leverage ratios and its
supervisory ratings. The following table lists the five categories of capital
and each of the minimum requirements for the three risk-based capital ratios.
Total Risk-Based Tier I Risk-Based Leverage
