REDDING BANCORP & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in
Redding Bancorp's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The statements include the
accounts of Redding Bancorp ("the Company"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Redding Bank of Commerce ("the Bank") and Redding Service Corporation. All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
financial information contained in this report reflects all adjustments that in
the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on
hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and repurchase agreements.
Federal funds sold and repurchase agreements are generally for one day periods.
On September 19, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a cash divided of .65
cents per share and a 10% stock dividend on the Company's Common Stock. Both the
cash and stock dividend will be paid on October 23, 2000 to shareholders of
record as of October 1, 2000. All share and per share amounts have been restated
to give retroactive effect to the 10% stock dividend.
2. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table displays the
computation of net income per share for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. All share and per share amounts have been restated
to give retroactive effect to the 10% stock dividend.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: commercial banking and credit
card services. The Company conducts a general commercial banking business in the
counties of El Dorado, Placer, Shasta, and Sacramento, California. The principal
commercial banking activities include a full-array of deposit accounts and
related services and commercial lending for businesses and their interests.
Credit card services are limited to those revenues and data processing costs
associated with its agreement with an Independent Sales Organization (ISO),
pursuant to which the Bank provides credit and debit card processing services
for merchants solicited by the ISO or the Bank who accept credit and debit cards
as payments for goods and services.

In April 1993, the Bank entered into an agreement (the "Merchant Services
Agreement") with Cardservice International, Inc. ("CSI"), an independent sales
organization ("ISO") and nonbank merchant credit card processor, pursuant to
which the Bank has agreed to provide credit and debit card processing services
for merchants solicited by CSI who accept credit and debit cards as payment for
goods and services. Pursuant to the Merchant Services Agreement, the Bank acts
as a clearing bank for CSI and processes credit or debit card transactions into
the Visa(R) or MasterCard(R) system for presentment to the card issuer. As a
result of the Merchant Services Agreement, the Bank has acquired electronic
credit and debit card processing relationships with merchants in various
industries on a nationwide basis.
The Merchant Services Agreement with CSI was renewed in 1997 for a period of
four years, which expires on April 1, 2001. During the course of negotiations
the Company has determined that the continuation of the contract will be at
substantially reduced revenues. CSI and the Company have come to an agreement on
renewal terms of the contract. The pricing of the contract renewal is 2 basis
points of transaction processing and one-half of the earnings on the deposit
relationship. The contract renewal represents a significant decline in revenues
from merchant credit card processing .
Refer to management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and hedging activities. The statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities. The effective date for the statement has been postponed
until the year 2001. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of
SFAS No. 133 on the Company's financial statements.

statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report are condensed
and unaudited.
GENERAL
Redding Bancorp ("The Company") is a financial services holding
company ("FHC") with its principal offices in Redding, California. A financial
services holding company may engage in a commercial banking, insurance,
securities business and offer other financial products to consumers. The Company
received notification from the Federal Reserve Board approving the election to
change to a financial holding company on April 22, 2000. The election to change
to a financial holding company has had no impact to date on the operations of
the Company. The Company engages in a general commercial banking business in
Redding and the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Shasta, and Sacramento,
California. The Company considers Northern California to be the Company's major
market area. The Company conducts its business through the Redding Bank of
Commerce ("The Bank"), its principal subsidiary. The services offered by the
Company include those traditionally offered by commercial banks of similar size
and character in California, such as checking, interest-bearing checking ("NOW")
and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, commercial, construction,
real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and other installment and
term loans, travelers checks, safe deposit boxes, collection services, telephone
and internet banking.
9
10
The primary focus of the Company is to provide financial services to the
business and professional community of its major market area including Small
Business Administration ("SBA") loans, commercial building financing, payroll
and benefit accounting packages and merchant credit card acquisition. The
Company does not offer trust services or international banking services and does
not plan to do so in the near future.
On November 12, 1999 President Clinton signed into law the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or the Financial Services Act of 1999 (the "FSA") which
became effective on March 11, 2000. The FSA repeals provisions of the
Glass-Steagall Act, which had prohibited commercial banks and securities firms
from affiliating with each other and engaging in each other's businesses. Thus,
many of the barriers prohibiting affiliations between commercial banks and
securities firms have been eliminated.
The BHCA is also amended by the FSA, to allow new "financial holding
companies" ("FHC") to offer banking, insurance, securities and other financial
products to consumers. Specifically, the FSA amends section 4 of the BHCA in
order to provide for a framework for the engagement in new financial activities.
Bank holding companies ("BHC") may elect to become a financial holding company
if all its subsidiary depository institutions are well-capitalized and
well-managed. If these requirements are met, a BHC may file a certification to
that effect with the Federal Reserve Bank and declare that it chooses to become
a FHC. After the certification and declaration is filed, the FHC may engage
either de novo or though an acquisition in any activity that has been determined
by the FRB to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity.
The Company derives its income from two principal sources: (i) net
interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it receives
on interest-earning assets and the interest expense it pays on interest-bearing
liabilities, and (ii) fee income, which includes fees earned on deposit
services, income from SBA lending, electronic-based cash management services and
merchant credit card processing services. Management considers the business of
the Company to be divided into two segments: (i) commercial banking and (ii)
credit card services. Credit card services are limited to those revenues, net of
related data processing costs, associated with the Merchant Services Agreement
and the Bank's agreement to provide credit and debit card processing services
for merchants solicited by the Bank who accept credit and debit cards as
payments for goods and services.
In April 1993, the Bank entered into an agreement (the "Merchant Services
Agreement") with Cardservice International, Inc. ("CSI"), an independent sales
organization ("ISO") and nonbank merchant credit card processor, pursuant to
which the Bank has agreed to provide credit and debit card processing services
for merchants solicited by CSI who accept credit and debit cards as payment for
goods and services. Pursuant to the Merchant Services Agreement, the Bank acts
as a clearing bank for CSI and processes credit or debit card transactions into
the Visa(R) or MasterCard(R) system for presentment to the card issuer. As a
result of the Merchant Services Agreement, the Bank has acquired electronic
credit and debit card processing relationships with merchants in various
industries on a nationwide basis. The Merchant Services Agreement with CSI was
renewed in 1997 for a period of four years, which expires on April 1, 2001. CSI
and the Company have recently reached an agreement on the renewal of the
contract. Effective April 1, 2001, pricing of the contract renewal is 2 basis
points of transaction processing and one-half of the earnings on the deposit
relationship. The current pricing of the contract in effect is 135 basis points
of transaction processing and the full earnings on the deposit relationship. The
contract renewal represents a significant decline in revenues from merchant
credit card processing. If the new pricing had been in effect for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, revenue would have been $960,000 less than the
actual amount recorded of $1,247,000. The Company is pursuing various strategies
to offset the decline in revenues, including expansion of the Roseville Banking
Center, enhancing the merchant credit card sales team in the Roseville and
Redding markets, and projecting aggressive growth in the loan markets.
Merchant bankcard processing services are highly regulated by credit card
associations such as Visa. In order to participate in the credit card program,
Redding Bank of Commerce must comply with the credit card association's rules
and regulations that may change from time to time. During November 1999, Visa
adopted several rule changes to reduce the risk profile in high-risk acquiring
programs and these rule changes affect the Bank's Merchant Services business
segment. These changes include a requirement that an acquiring processor's
reported fraud ratios be no greater than three times the national average.
10
11
Redding Bank of Commerce's overall fraud ratio was below the Visa
requirement. Other Visa changes announced included the requirement that total
processing volume in certain high-risk categories (as defined by Visa) be less
than 20% of total processing volume.
At September 30, 2000 the Bank's total Visa transactions within these
certain high-risk categories were 18% of Visa total processing volume. Although
these merchants are categorized as high-risk, precautions have been taken such
as requiring higher deposit reserves, daily monitoring and aggressive fraud
control, and to date has not seen extraordinary losses in these categories.
Additionally Visa announced a requirement that weekly average Visa volumes
be less than 60% of an institutions tangible equity capital, and a requirement
that the aggregate charge-backs for the previous six months be less than 5% of
the institutions tangible equity capital. Previous guidelines allowed the weekly
average Visa volumes to be four times equity capital.
At September 30, 2000 the Bank's average weekly Visa volume was 85% of
tangible equity capital, slightly above the prior guidelines, and aggregate
charge-backs for the previous six months were 11% of tangible equity capital. A
written plan has been submitted and approved by Visa to allow for attrition to
bring the processing volumes into line with the new guidelines.
Participants in the merchant bankcard acquiring program, such as the Bank,
must comply with these new Visa rules by filing a compliance plan with Visa by
February 12, 2000. The Bank met the deadline of February 12, 2000, and Visa has
accepted the plan to gradually reduce the concentration of high-risk merchant
processing.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets at the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $256 million, a
$24 million or 10.2% increase over total assets at December 31, 1999. The growth
is centered in the loan portfolio, totaling $187 million at September 30, 2000
compared to $173 million at December 31, 1999, an 8.2% increase. The growth has
been funded in part by an increase in time deposits of 15.2% over December 31,
1999, and maturities of investment securities.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, deposits increased
$21 million or 10.1% to $219 million compared with $198 million at December 31,
1999. The increase in deposits is a result of increases in time deposits,
savings deposits and money market accounts partially offset by a decrease in
demand deposits. The increase in deposits is attributable to the full service
conversion of the Roseville Banking Center, and internal growth in the Redding
market. During the same period, total loans increased $14 million or 8.2%
compared with $173 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in loans is
primarily the result of increases in the commercial real estate portfolio, and
to a lesser degree in the commercial portfolio. The increases were partially
offset by decreases in the construction real estate portfolio.
Total Investment securities decreased $7 million or 21.3% to $25 million
at September 30, 2000 compared with $32 million at December 31, 1999, and
federal funds sold increased $16 million or 207% to $23 million at September 30,
2000 compared with $7 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease in investment
securities was the result of increased loan demand. The increase in federal
funds sold was the result of a planned build-up of federal funds for liquidity
purposes to assist in the growth of the Roseville Banking Center.
EARNINGS RESULTS
The Company reported earnings of $1,225,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 ($0.41 per share diluted) compared to $1,157,000 ($0.37 per
share diluted) for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of 5.9%.
Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was $3,630,000 ($1.19 per
share, diluted), compared to $3,190,000 ($1.01 per share, diluted) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.
Factors contributing to the increase in operating results include an
increase in the volume of earning assets, coupled with a decrease in other
non-interest expense, and partially offset by an increase in the cost of
funding.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the primary source of income for the Bank. Net
interest income represents the excess of interest and fees earned on
interest-earning assets (loans, investments and Federal Funds sold) over the
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net
interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. For the
three months ended September 30, 2000, interest income increased $751,000
(17.1%) over the same period in 1999. Interest expense on deposit accounts and
borrowings increased $624,000 (36.7%) over the same three-month period in 1999.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, interest income increased
$2,185,000 or 17.3% over the same nine-month period in 1999. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings
increased $1,671,000 or 36% over the same period in 1999.
The combined effect of the increase in volume of earning assets and
increase in yield on earning assets, coupled with increases in cost of funding
sources resulted in an increase of $514,000 (6.4%) in net interest income for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 over the same period in 1999. Net
interest margin decreased 03 basis points to 5.11% from 5.14% for the same
period a year ago. The net interest margin decrease is attributed to an
increased cost of funding where the average cost of funding has increased to
4.79% from 4.01% a year ago. The higher costs are primarily related to the
growth in higher yielding time certificates of deposit.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
The Company's noninterest income consists of processing fees for merchants
who accept credit card payments for goods and services, service charges on
deposit accounts, and other service fees.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, noninterest income
increased $33,000 over the same period in 1999. Credit card processing income
decreased $28,000 (5.5%) while other income increased $60,000 (45%) over the
same period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, noninterest
income decreased $25,000 (1.2%) over the same period in 1999. Service charges
decreased $34,000 (17%) over the same period in 1999, partially offset by
increases in credit card income of $10,000 (.7%) and other income of $58,000
(10.6%).
Contributing to the decrease in noninterest income are reductions in the
volume of overdraft processing resulting in a reduction of fee income collected
and losses on sales of investment securities. Contributing to the increase in
other income are increases in ATM fees collected of $36,000 or (30%) and
non-deposit investment fees of $20,828 (100%) over the same period in 1999.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits,
occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing fees, professional fees,
directors' fees and other operating expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000, noninterest expense
increased $145,000 (9.7%) over the same period in 1999. Recoveries of legal
expense during 1999 reduced expenses to $99,000 for the third quarter 1999. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, noninterest expense decreased $89,000
(1.8%) over the same nine months ended 1999. Salary and benefit expenses have
decreased $91,000 (3.2%) over the prior year and are attributable to increased
collection of loan costs offsetting salary expenses. Data processing and
professional fees have decreased $32,000 (8.1%), and insurance coverage costs
decreased $25,000 (42%) over the prior year.

INCOME TAXES
The Company's provision for income taxes includes both federal and state
income taxes and reflects the application of federal and state statutory rates
to the Company's net income before taxes. The principal difference between
statutory tax rates and the Company's effective tax rate is the benefit derived
from investing in tax-exempt securities. Increases and decreases in the
provision for taxes reflect changes in the Company's net income before tax.
The following table reflects the Company's tax provision and the related
effective tax rate for the periods indicated.

The Company's effective tax rate varies with changes in the relative
amounts of its non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses. The increase in
the Company's tax provision is attributable to increases in the Company's
pre-tax income.
ASSET QUALITY
The Company concentrates its lending activities primarily within Shasta,
El Dorado, Placer and Sacramento Counties, California, and the location of the
Bank's three full service branches.
The Company manages its credit risk through diversification of its loan
portfolio and the application of underwriting policies and procedures and credit
monitoring practices. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a
significant portion of its borrowers' ability to repay the loans is dependent
upon the professional services and residential real estate development industry
sectors. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate or other assets and are
expected to be repaid from the cash flows of the borrower or proceeds from the
sale of collateral.
The following table sets forth the amounts of loans outstanding by
category as of the dates indicated:
(Dollars in thousands) September 30, 2000 December 31, 1999

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one
of the following events occurs: (i) any installment of principal or interest is
90 days or more past due (unless in management's opinion the loan is well
secured and in the process of collection). (ii) Management determines the
ultimate collection of principal or interest to be unlikely or (iii) the terms
of the loan have been renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower's
financial condition. Nonperforming loans are loans that are on nonaccrual, are
90 days past due and still accruing or have been restructured.
Net portfolio loans increased $14 million or 8.4% at September 30, 2000
over $169.8 million at December 31, 1999. The portfolio mix remains stable with
the mix at December 31, 1999, with commercial and financial loans of
approximately 33%, real estate construction of 19% and commercial real estate at
48%.

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable that the Bank will not
be able to collect all amounts due under the original terms of the contract. The
Bank had outstanding balances of $1,224,000 and $394,000 in impaired loans that
had impairment allowances of $456,547 and $315,000 as of September 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively. The Bank had average balances of $693,685 and
$612,411 in impaired loans for the nine months ended as of September 30, 2000
and for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The following table sets forth a summary of the Company's nonperforming
assets as of the dates indicated:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's nonaccrual loans increased from $394,000 to $1,224,000 in
the first nine months of 2000. The increase is attributed to one credit placed
in nonaccrual status. OREO properties were sold during the second quarter 2000.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES (ALLL)
The Company makes provisions to the ALLL on a regular basis through
charges to operations that are reflected in the Company's statements of income
as a provision for loan losses. When a loan is deemed uncollectible, it is
charged against the allowance. Any recoveries of previously charged-off loans
are credited back to the allowance. There is no precise method of predicting
specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off on particular
categories of the loan portfolio.
Similarly, the adequacy of the ALLL and the level of the related provision
for possible loan losses is determined on a judgment basis by management based
on consideration of (i) economic conditions, (ii) borrowers' financial
condition, (iii) loan impairment, (iv) evaluation of industry trends, (v)
industry and other concentrations, (vi) loans which are contractually current as
to payment terms but demonstrate a higher degree of risk as identified by
management, (vii) continuing evaluation of the performing loan portfolio, (viii)
monthly review and evaluation of problem loans identified as having loss
potential, (ix) quarterly review by the Board of Directors, (x) off balance
sheet risks and (xi) assessments by regulators and other third parties.
Management and the Board of Directors evaluate the allowance and determine its
desired level considering objective and subjective measures, such as knowledge
of the borrowers' business, valuation of collateral, the determination of
impaired loans and exposure to potential losses.
The ALLL is a general reserve available against the total loan portfolio
and off balance sheet credit exposure. It is maintained without any
interallocation to the categories of the loan portfolio, and the entire
allowance is available to cover any loan losses. While management uses available
information to recognize losses on loans, 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 Bank's ALLL. Such agencies may require the Bank to
provide additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information
available to them at the time of their examination. There is uncertainty
concerning future economic trends. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict
the effect future economic trends may have on the level of the provision for
possible loan losses in future periods.
The ALLL should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in
future periods will occur in the stated amounts or proportions.
The adequacy of the ALLL is calculated upon three components. First is
the dollar weighted risk rating of the loan portfolio, including all outstanding
loans and leases, off balance sheet items, and commitments to lend. Every
extension of credit is assigned a risk rating based upon a comprehensive
definition intended to measure the inherent risk of lending money. Each rating
has an assigned a risk factor expressed as a reserve percentage.
16
17
Central to this assigned risk (reserve) factor is the five-year
historical loss record of the bank. Secondly, established specific
reserves are available for individual loans currently on management
watch and high-grade loan lists. These are the estimated potential losses
associated with specific borrowers based upon the collateral and event(s)
causing the risk rating.
The third component is unallocated. This reserve is for qualitative
factors that may effect the portfolio as a whole, such as those factors
described above.
Management believes the assigned risk grades and our methods for
managing changes are satisfactory. Management believes the loan portfolio
performance has improved as reflected by the stable and low delinquency ratio.
Watch list and high-grade loans have increased somewhat over the past year,
primarily due to management's plan to move more susceptible although performing
accounts to attention.
The following table summarizes the activity in the ALLL reserves for the
periods indicated.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Total investment securities decreased $7 million in the first nine months
of 2000 or 21.3%. The decrease represents maturities of $4.3 million, purchases
of $2.0 million and sales of $4.4 million. The Company recorded gross losses of
$59,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from sales of investment
securities. Proceeds from the sales of investment securities were used to fund
loan commitments.
LIQUIDITY
With respect to assets, liquidity is provided by cash and money market
investments such as interest-bearing time deposits, federal-funds sold,
investment securities available-for-sale and principal and interest payments on
loans. With respect to liabilities, the Company's core deposits, shareholders'
equity and the ability of the Bank to borrow funds and to generate deposits,
provide asset funding.
Because estimates of the liquidity needs of the Bank may vary from actual
needs, the Bank maintains a substantial amount of liquid assets to absorb short
term increases in loans or reductions in deposits.
The Company's liquid assets (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold
and available-for-sale investment
17
18
securities) totaled $54,294,000, or 21.2% of
total assets, at September 30, 2000 compared to $44,540,000 or 19.2% of total
assets at December 31, 1999.
In April 1993, the Bank entered into an agreement (the "Merchant Services
Agreement") with Cardservice International, In. ("CSI"), and independent sales
organization ("ISO") and nonbank merchant credit card processor, pursuant to
which the Bank has agreed to provide credit and debit card processing services
for merchants solicited by CSI who accept credit cards for payment of goods and
services. Pursuant to the Merchant Services Agreement, Cardservice
International, Inc. maintains demand deposit accounts of approximately
$12,000,000 or 41.4% of the Company's capital at September 30, 2000. The
Merchant Services Agreement with CSI was renewed in 1997 for a period of four
years, which expires on April 1, 2001. CSI and the Company have recently reached
an agreement on the renewal of the contract. Effective April 1, 2001, pricing of
the contract renewal is 2 basis points of transaction processing and one-half of
the earnings on the deposit relationship. The current pricing of the contract in
effect is 135 basis points of transaction processing and the full earnings on
the deposit relationship. The contract renewal represents a significant decline
in revenues from merchant credit card processing. If the new pricing had been in
effect for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, revenue would have been
$960,000 less than the actual amount recorded of $1,247,000. The Company is
pursuing various strategies to offset the decline in revenues, including
expansion of the Roseville Banking Center, enhancing the merchant credit card
sales team in the Roseville and Redding markets, and projecting aggressive
growth in the loan markets.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overall capital adequacy is monitored by the Company's management and
reported to the Company's Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The Bank's
regulators measure capital adequacy by using a risk-based capital framework and
by monitoring compliance with minimum leverage ratio guidelines. Under the
risk-based capital standard, assets reported on the Company's balance sheet and
certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which
is assigned a risk weight.
This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1"
capital (defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity) and "Tier 2"
capital (defined as principally comprising the qualifying portion of the ALLL).
The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets,
including certain off-balance sheet items, is 8%. At least one-half (4%) of the
total risk-based capital (Tier 1) is to be comprised of common equity; the
balance may consist of debt securities and a limited portion of the ALLL.
The following table sets forth the Company's capital ratio as of the dates
indicated.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company's primary component of market risk is interest rate
volatility. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level
of interest income and interest expense recorded on a large portion of the
Company's assets and liabilities, and the fair market value of interest earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short
term to maturity. Because the Company's interest bearing liabilities and
interest earning assets are with the Bank, the Company's interest rate risk
exposure is in connection with the operations of the Bank. Consequently, all
significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank
level.
Based upon the nature of its operations, the Bank is not subject to
foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The fundamental objective of
the Bank's management of its assets and liabilities is to enhance the economic
value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and an exposure to
interest rate risk deemed acceptable by the Company's management.
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk through adherence
to maturity, pricing and asset mix policies and procedures designed to mitigate
the impact of changes in market interest rates. The Bank's profitability is
dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the
difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans
and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such
as deposits and borrowings.
The formal policies and practices adopted by the Bank to monitor and
manage interest rate risk exposure measure risk in two ways: (i) repricing
opportunities for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (ii)
changes in net interest income for declining interest rate shocks of 100 and 200
basis points.
Because of the Bank's capital position and noninterest-bearing demand
deposit accounts, the Bank is asset sensitive. As a result, management
anticipates that, in a declining interest rate environment, the Company's net
interest income and margin would be expected to decline, and, in an increasing
interest rate environment, the Company's net interest income and margin would be
expected to increase. However, no assurance can be given that under such
circumstances the Company would experience the described relationships to
declining or increasing interest rates.
Because the Bank is asset sensitive, the Company is adversely affected by
declining rates rather than rising rates. During a period of declining rates,
short-term liabilities may be repriced to provide an advantage to the Company;
however, this benefit will not be sustainable over the long-term.
To estimate the effect of interest rate shocks on the Company's net
interest income, management uses a model to prepare an analysis of interest rate
risk. Such analysis calculates the change in net interest income given a change
in the federal funds rate of 100 or 200 basis points up or down. All changes are
measured in dollars and are compared to projected net interest income.
At September 30, 2000, the estimated annualized reduction in net interest
income attributable to a 100 and 200 basis point decline in the federal funds
rate was $373,000 and $740,000, respectively. A similar and opposite result
would be attributable to a 100 or 200 basis point increase in the federal funds
rate. At December 31, 1999, the estimated annualized reduction in net interest
income attributable to a 100 and 200 basis point decline in the federal funds
rate was $359,000 and $718,000, respectively, with a similar and opposite result
attributable to a 100 and 200 basis point increase in the federal funds rate.
Management does not believe that the change from year-end is significant or
represents a known trend toward more interest rate risk sensitivity in the
Company's financial position.
The model utilized by management to create the analysis described in the
preceding paragraph uses balance sheet simulation to estimate the impact of
changing rates on the annual net interest income of the Bank. The model
considers a number of factors, including (i) change in customer and management
behavior in response to the assumed rate shock, (ii) the ratio of the amount of
rate change for each interest-bearing asset or liability to assumed changes in
the federal funds rate based on local market conditions for loans and core
deposits and national market conditions for other assets and liabilities and
(iii) timing factors related to the lag between the rate shock and its effect on
other interest-bearing assets and liabilities.
20

Actual results will differ when actual customer and management behavior and
ratios differ from the assumptions utilized by management in its model. In
addition, the model has limited usefulness for the measurement of the effect on
annual net interest income resulting from rate changes other than 100 or 200
basis points. Management believes that the short duration of its rate-sensitive
assets and liabilities contributes to its ability to reprice a significant
amount of its rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and mitigates the impact of
rate changes more than 200 basis points. The model's primary benefit to
management is its assistance in evaluating the impact that future strategies
with respect to the Bank's mix and level of rate-sensitive assets and
liabilities will have on the Company's net interest income.
