As of March 3, 1995, Security Capital had 11,780,086 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 3,100 stockholders of record. The following table presents for the periods indicated the high and low sales prices, as reported by NASDAQ, of the common stock of Security Capital. 1994 1993 HIGH LOW High Low First Quarter $14.25 $13.00 $14.75 $11.00 Second Quarter 15.25 13.00 13.75 12.50 Third Quarter 16.25 13.25 14.75 13.00 Fourth Quarter 18.25 15.00 14.75 13.25 The Board of Directors of Security Capital declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend on each share of common stock amounting to $.44 and $.39 per share for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The ability of Security Capital to pay dividends is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993 NET INCOME Security Capital and its subsidiaries (collectively herein, "Security Capital") earned $6,634,000, or $.57 per share, compared with net income of $14,839,000, or $1.26 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1993. This decrease is primarily attributable to the recognition of a one-time charge of approximately $5,600,000 as a result of Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries change in tax accounting method to the specific charge-off method for bad debts during 1994. This decrease in net income was also impacted by the recognition of significant non-recurring charges by Security Capital during the third quarter of 1994 in connection with its acquisition of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Charlotte ("First Federal"). Security Capital's return on average assets decreased to .67% in 1994 from 1.62% in 1993. Return on average equity decreased to 5.32% in 1994 from 12.26% in 1993. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased $2,125,000, or 5.9%, to $38,213,000. Total interest income increased $3,313,000, or 5.2%, in 1994. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 7.25%, while the average volume increased by $62,821,000. Total interest expense increased $1,188,000, or 4.2%, in 1994. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities fell 19 basis points to 3.71%, while the average volume increased by $70,005,000. The increase in interest income and interest expense is primarily attributable to the acquisition of First Federal on September 23, 1994, which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Also, during 1994 the Federal Reserve changed its monetary policy and began raising interest rates in an effort to control inflation and slow the national economy. This overall rise in interest rates impacted interest income and interest expense at Security Capital. This rise in interest rates had a positive impact by increasing interest income for the repricing of adjustable rate interest-earning assets along with increased yields on new loans and investments. While rates in general increased, the impact on Security Capital was reduced due to the investment of funds in 1993 and early 1994 at yields significantly less than the yields on maturing investments and existing portfolio loans refinanced at lower fixed rates. Likewise, the rise in interest rates had a negative impact due to increased yields being offered on deposit products to remain competitive. These higher costs on deposits were effective primarily toward the end of 1994 and therefore did not fully impact the 1994 results. Accordingly, the net interest rate spread as of December 31, 1994 was 3.32% compared to a net interest rate spread of 3.54% for the year ended December 31, 1994. In future periods, Security Capital could experience a reduction in interest income should prepayments occur and/or mortgage loans price downward. LOAN ORIGINATION AND SALE ACTIVITY Proceeds from the sales of loans were approximately $21,375,000 in 1994 compared to approximately $85,700,000 in 1993, resulting in gains of $190,000 and $1,384,000, respectively. The reductions in loan sales and related gains reflect the higher interest rate environment previously discussed. Security Capital has continued to sell the majority of its current production of fixed rate mortgage loans through its secondary marketing program. Security Capital retained the servicing rights on all fixed rate mortgage loans sold during 1994. These servicing rights represent a continuing source of future fee income. Fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 1994, amounted to $2,697,000. Proceeds from the sales of loans, along with loan repayments, were used to fund loan originations, which decreased $57,081,000 (22.0%) to approximately $202,119,000 in 1994, and to increase the investment portfolio, which increased a total of $43,901,000 (11.9%) in 1994. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $359,000 for 1994 compared to $653,000 for 1993. Charge-offs decreased 20.6% to $581,000 while recoveries decreased 35.0% to $258,000. This resulted in the allowance for loan losses increasing $36,000, excluding the $2,054,000 increase from the acquisition of First Federal. In total, the allowance for loan losses increased $2,090,000 (28.9%) to $9,317,000 at December 31, 1994. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1994, represents 1.44% of period-end loans and 1.55 times non-performing assets. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. In addition, in the opinion of management, asset quality remains high, with total non- performing assets totaling $6,009,000, one-half of one percent (0.52%) of total assets at December 31, 1994. Security Capital does not have any material loans outstanding classified as "doubtful" or "loss." Additionally, its loan portfolio does not contain any highly leveraged transactions or foreign loans. 3 OTHER INCOME Other income decreased $2,163,000 (20.6%) to $8,356,000 in 1994. As noted above, net gain on sales of loans decreased $1,194,000 (86.3%) to $190,000 in 1994 from $1,384,000 in 1993, primarily due to the increase in interest rates during 1994. Deposit and other service charge income decreased $545,000 (11.0%) to $4,431,000. This decrease was partially due to a decline in deposit accounts, excluding the effects of the First Federal Acquisition. In 1994, there was a ($70,000) loss on sales of investment securities compared to a $310,000 gain in 1993. The 1994 loss was primarily due to the repositioning of several available for sale investment securities into higher yielding instruments. The gain in 1993 was due to the sale and merger of Atlantic States Bankcard Association, Inc., and the exercise of call provisions by the issuers of several municipal securities. Other decreased $382,000 (36.4%) to $667,000 in 1994 primarily due to losses on sales of several real estate owned properties at amounts less than anticipated and the write-down of other properties to net realizable value. Loan servicing and other loans fees increased $89,000 (6.4%) due to an increase in loans fees, charge card fees, and late charges. Brokerage commissions increased $249,000 (17.7%) due to an increase in volume, which can be attributed to the expansion of the operations along with depositors continuing to seek higher yields through alternative investments throughout most of 1994. OTHER EXPENSE Other expense increased $3,858,000 (16.2%) to $27,700,000 in 1994. This increase was primarily attributable to the non-recurring charges recognized in connection with the First Federal Acquisition and related to severance, professional fees, marketing, and discontinued contracts, along with the increased expenses associated with operating the branch network acquired as part of the First Federal acquisition. INCOME TAXES Income taxes increased $4,603,000 (63.3%) to $11,876,000 in 1994, while income before income taxes decreased $3,602,000 (16.3%) to $18,510,000 in 1994 from $22,112,000 in 1993. This increase in income taxes was primarily due to the recognition of a one-time charge of approximately $5,600,000 to record deferred tax liabilities discussed above. In accordance with accounting requirements, Security Capital adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement 109") effective January 1, 1993. Adoption of Statement 109 resulted in a net benefit to Security Capital of approximately $388,000 in 1993. Excluding the impact of adoption of Statement 109, income taxes for 1993 would have been $7,661,000, or 34.6% of income before income taxes, compared to $6,276,000, or 33.9% of income before income taxes in 1994, excluding the one-time charge of $5,600,000. COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992 NET INCOME Security Capital earned $14,839,000, or $1.26 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1993, an increase of 49.0% from 1992 net income of $9,961,000, or $.84 per share. On June 30, 1992, Omni Capital Group, Inc. ("Omni"), a multi-thrift holding company, merged with and into First Security Capital Corporation ("FSFC"), a bank holding company (the "Merger"). Upon completion of the merger, FSFC's name was changed to Security Capital Bancorp. This increase in 1993 net income was primarily a result of the one-time merger-related expenses and restructuring charges recognized by FSFC and Omni in connection with the 1992 merger. These charges amounted to $4,100,000 consisting of approximately $600,000 of merger-related expenses and $3,500,000 of nonrecurring restructuring charges. As noted above, adoption of Statement 109 resulted in a net benefit to Security Capital of approximately $388,000 in 1993. Security Capital's return on average assets increased to 1.62% in 1993 from 1.09% in 1992. Return on average equity increased to 12.26% in 1993 from 8.81% in 1992. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income decreased $636,000 (1.7%) to $36,088,000 in 1993. Total interest income decreased $7,630,000, or 10.6%, and total interest expense decreased $6,994,000, or 19.9%, in 1993. The average yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities both decreased in 1993 along with the average volume for these areas. Also impacting the decrease in interest income was a decrease in loans receivable. Total loans decreased $37,227,000 (7.3%) to $473,202,000 at December 31, 1993. This decrease was primarily the result of the continuation of the selling of current production of fixed rate mortgage loans through Security Capital's secondary marketing program. While investment securities increased $29,749,000 (8.8%) to $368,353,000 at December 31, 1993, the yields on new investments were significantly less than the yields on maturing investments and existing portfolio mortgage loans refinanced at lower rates in 1993, thus also negatively impacting interest income. 4 LOAN ORIGINATION AND SALE ACTIVITY Proceeds from the sales of loans were approximately $85,700,000 in 1993 compared to approximately $85,100,000 in 1992, resulting in gains of $1,384,000 and $738,000, respectively. As noted above, Security Capital continued to sell its current production of fixed rate mortgage loans during 1993. Security Capital retained the servicing rights on all fixed rate mortgage loans sold during 1993. Proceeds from the sales of loans, along with other funds, were used to fund loan originations and to increase the investment portfolio. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses was $653,000 for 1993 compared to $1,848,000 for 1992. In 1992, the provision included $1,500,000 recognized in connection with the Merger. Charge-offs decreased 28.5% in 1993 to $732,000 while recoveries decreased 39.5% to $397,000. This resulted in the allowance for loan losses increasing $318,000 (4.6%) to $7,227,000 at December 31, 1993, from $6,909,000 at December 31, 1992. OTHER INCOME Other income increased $1,571,000 (17.6%) to $10,519,000 in 1993. As noted above, net gain on sales of loans increased $646,000 (87.5%) to $1,384,000 in 1993 from $738,000 in 1992. Brokerage commissions increased $411,000 (41.4%) to $1,404,000 in 1993. This increase was due to an increase in volume, which was attributed to an expansion of the operation in 1993, along with depositors seeking higher yields through alternative investments. Net securities gains increased to $310,000 in 1993 from $8,000 in 1992. These gains were the result of the sale of Security Capital's investment in Atlantic States Bankcard Association, Inc., and the exercise of call provisions by the issuers of several municipal securities. Other increased $446,000 (74.0%) due to several smaller increases within this category. OTHER EXPENSE Other expense decreased $3,698,000 (13.4%) to $23,842,000 in 1993. For the year ended December 31, 1992, Security Capital had approximately $2,600,000 of merger-related expenses. These merger-related expenses were reflected in the personnel, net occupancy, professional and other services, and other categories for 1992. Federal and other insurance premiums decreased $194,000 (9.6%) during 1993 due to a decline in the average deposit accounts and the consolidation of other insurance coverage. During 1993, Security Capital experienced additional increases in efficiencies of operations due to the Merger which were reflected in various categories. INCOME TAXES Income taxes increased $950,000 (15.0%) for the year ended December 31, 1993, while income before income taxes increased $5,828,000 (35.8%) to $22,112,000 in 1993. Excluding the impact of adoption of Statement 109, income taxes would have been $7,661,000, or 34.6% of income before income taxes, compared to 38.8% in 1992. This decrease was largely due to a portion of the 1992 provision for thrift loan losses for which a benefit could not be recognized. In 1993, as allowed by Statement 109, an income tax benefit was recognized for the provision for loan losses. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1993, included the effect of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (the "Act"). The overall effect of the Act was an increase in income taxes of approximately $200,000, primarily due to the increased corporate tax rate. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets of Security Capital at December 31, 1994, were $1,165,614,000, an increase from December 31, 1993, of $236,679,000 (25.5%). This increase, along with the other balance sheet increases noted below, is primarily due to the acquisition of First Federal on September 23, 1994, which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Total assets of $302,163,000, net loans of $135,819,000, and deposits of $250,929,000, were purchased in connection with the First Federal acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents increased $11,946,000 at December 31, 1994 primarily due to cash and cash equivalents acquired in the First Federal acquisition. Excluding the effects of the First Federal acquisition, net loans receivable, including loans held for sale, were $505,792,000 an increase of $21,408,000, or 4.4%, over the December 31, 1993 amount. This increase is the result of increases in various types of loans. Security Capital recorded intangible assets, with a balance of $16,634,000 at December 31, 1994, in connection with the acquisition of First Federal. Deposit accounts decreased $23,240,000, or 3.0%, from the comparable December 31, 1993 amount, excluding the effects of the First Federal acquisition. This decrease is primarily attributable to depositors continuing to seek higher yields through alternative investments. Total stockholders' equity was $119,760,000, or 10.3% of total assets, at December 31, 1994. Total stockholders' equity included an unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale of 5 ($6,372,000) at December 31, 1994 in connection with Security Capital's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," on January 1, 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The principal sources of liquidity for Security Capital's banking subsidiaries are deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment securities, and fees. Deposit accounts are considered a primary source of funds supporting the banking subsidiaries' lending and investment activities. At December 31, 1994, the Security Capital banking subsidiaries were in compliance with all regulatory liquidity requirements. Management believes that Security Capital had adequate sources of liquidity as of December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1994, Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements. The following table compares Security Capital's regulatory capital as of December 31, 1994, with the minimum capital standards established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB").

On November 4, 1994, Security Capital and CCB Financial Corporation, Durham, North Carolina ("CCB"), entered into a definitive agreement of combination pursuant to which Security Capital will merge with and into CCB, with CCB as the surviving corporation and continuing to operate under its present name (the "Combination").

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a description of the more significant accounting and reporting policies which Security Capital Bancorp and subsidiaries ("Security Capital") follow in preparing and presenting their consolidated financial statements: (a) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND REPORTING The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Capital Bancorp, a North Carolina corporation organized as a multi-bank holding company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Security Capital Bank, formerly Security Bank and Trust Company, Salisbury, North Carolina ("Security Bank"), OMNIBANK, Inc., A State Savings Bank, Salisbury, North Carolina ("OMNIBANK"), Citizens Savings, Inc., SSB, Concord, North Carolina ("Citizens"), Home Savings Bank, Inc., SSB, Kings Mountain, North Carolina ("Home Savings"), and Estates Development Corporation, Salisbury, North Carolina ("EDC"). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the statement presentation for 1994. The reclassifications have no effect on stockholders' equity or net income as previously reported. All dollar amounts except share and per share amounts in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands. (b) SECURITIES As more fully described in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, Security Capital adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," on January 1, 1994. The classification of securities is determined at the date of purchase. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at market value with a corresponding adjustment net of tax recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. Security Capital intends to hold these securities for an indefinite period of time but may sell them prior to maturity. Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Security Capital intends and has the ability to hold such securities until maturity. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized when realized, with cost being determined by the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are amortized into interest income using a level yield method. Regulations require the savings bank subsidiaries (i.e. OMNIBANK, Citizens, and Home Savings) to maintain cash and approved securities in an amount equal to a prescribed percentage (10% at December 31, 1994) of total assets. (c) LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market as determined by the outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements calculated on the aggregate loan basis. Gains or losses resulting from sales of loans are recognized when the proceeds are received from the investors. (d) LOAN INTEREST INCOME Loan interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on all loans that become 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless collection of both principal and interest is assured by way of both collateralization, guarantees, or other security, and the loan is in the process of collection. Security Capital provides an allowance for uncollected accrued interest income if, in the opinion of management, collectibility of that accrued interest income is doubtful. This allowance is netted against accrued interest income, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Interest income foregone on nonaccrual and restructured loans for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994 was not significant. 11 (e) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Security Capital provides for loan losses on the allowance method. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to operations based on various factors that, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating losses inherent in the portfolio. Such factors considered by management include the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, delinquency trends and economic conditions. Management evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such regulatory agencies may require the financial institution subsidiaries to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. (f) REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate owned is included in other assets and represent other real estate that has been acquired through loan foreclosures or deed received in lieu of foreclosure. Such properties are generally appraised annually and are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less applicable selling costs. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to expense. (g) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are recorded at cost, and depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets principally on a straight-line basis. Estimated lives are ten to fifty years for buildings, building components and improvements; five to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment; and three years for automobiles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated life or the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements are capitalized. The costs and accumulated depreciation relating to premises and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income. (h) INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 20-year period. Deposit base premiums and mortgage servicing rights are being amortized over 10 years using the sum-of-the-years digits method. (i) LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the contractual life of the related loan as an adjustment of the loan yield using a level yield method. Direct costs of unsuccessful loans and indirect costs are expensed as incurred. (j) INCOME TAXES Security Capital adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Standard No. 109") during 1993 and has applied the provisions of the statement without restating prior years' financial statements. Prior to the adoption of Standard No. 109, Security Capital accounted for income taxes using the deferred method required by APB Opinion 11. Standard No. 109 has changed Security Capital's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and liability method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of Security Capital's assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based upon available evidence. The cumulative effect of adopting Standard No. 109 as of January 1, 1993 was not material, and therefore no cumulative effect was presented in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1993. 12 Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which applied in 1992 and prior years, deferred income taxes are recognized for income and expense items that are reported in different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of the calculation. Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not adjusted for subsequent changes in tax rates. (k) NET INCOME AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, as adjusted retroactively for stock splits and stock dividends. Due to the pooling-of-interests merger in 1992, as discussed in note 2, dividends per share for 1992 was computed by dividing dividends paid by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, as adjusted retroactively for stock splits and stock dividends. (l) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing balances in other banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, cash and cash equivalents are considered to have maturities of three months or less. (m) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In December 1991 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("Statement No. 107"). Statement No. 107 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth in note 17. (n) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (Statement No. 106), which requires during an employee's active years of service, accrual of expected costs of providing postretirement benefits, principally health care and life insurance, to employees and their beneficiaries and dependents. Statement No. 106 was effective for 1993, but there was no material impact on Security Capital's consolidated financial statements since Security Capital generally does not provide such benefits. (2) ACQUISITIONS AND PENDING MERGER Effective September 23, 1994, Security Capital purchased the outstanding stock of First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Charlotte ("First Federal") from Fairfield Communities, Inc. for approximately $41,000,000 in cash. The acquisition is being accounted for by the purchase method. Concurrent with the purchase, First Federal was merged into Security Bank. Immediately prior to the acquisition, First Federal had assets of $302,163,000, net loans of $135,819,000, deposits of $250,929,000, stockholders' equity of $29,434,000, and net income for the period from January 1, 1994, through September 23, 1994, of $855,000. As a result of the acquisition, goodwill, deposit base premium, and mortgage servicing rights were increased by $12,597,000, $3,222,000, and $1,042,000, respectively. These amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years for goodwill and over 10 years using the sum-of-the-years digits method for deposit base premium and mortgage servicing rights. The information below indicates, on a pro forma basis, amounts as if First Federal had been purchased as of the beginning of each period presented. [CAPTION] Years Ended December 31, 1994 1993 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) Net interest income $42,067 $39,447 Net income $ 4,754 $11,776 Net income per share $ 0.40 $ 1.00 During the second quarter of 1994, Security Capital completed the purchase of First Citizens Bank and Trust Co.'s ("First Citizens") Bessemer City office and the sale of Home Savings' Gastonia office to First Citizens. With the transaction, Home Savings assumed approximately $2,700 in deposits in Bessemer City and First Citizens assumed approximately $6,400 in deposits in Gastonia. 13 On June 30, 1992, Omni Capital Group, Inc. ("Omni"), a multiple thrift holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina and the former parent of OMNIBANK, Citizens, Home Savings, and EDC, merged with and into First Security Financial Corporation ("FSFC"), a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina and the parent of Security Bank (the "Merger"). Upon the completion of the Merger, FSFC's name was changed to "Security Capital Bancorp". Pursuant to the Agreement of Combination and the related Plan of Merger, which were approved by the stockholders of both FSFC and Omni, 5,681,216 shares of Security Capital common stock, no par value per share, were issued in exchange for the surrender of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Omni, par value of $1.00 per share, at an exchange ratio of 2.25 shares of Security Capital common stock for each such share of Omni common stock. The Merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and, accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Merger were restated to combine the accounts of FSFC and Omni. On November 4, 1994, Security Capital and CCB Financial Corporation, Durham, North Carolina ("CCB"), entered into a definitive Agreement of Combination pursuant to which Security Capital will merge with and into CCB, with CCB as the surviving corporation and continuing to operate under its present name (the "Combination"). To effect the Combination, CCB will issue .50 of a share of its common stock, par value $5.00 per share, in exchange for each outstanding share of Security Capital's common stock, no par value. In connection with the Combination, Security Capital's banking subsidiaries will merge into Central Carolina Bank and Trust Company, a subsidiary of CCB. The Combination is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1995. (3) INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE A summary of investment securities available for sale follows: DECEMBER 31, 1994 GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED MARKET COST GAINS LOSSES VALUE (Dollars in Thousands) U.S. Government obligations $ 194,612 134 (6,106) 188,640 U.S. Government agency obligations 70,661 18 (3,688) 66,991 Mortgage-backed Securities 960 10 (43) 927 Other 66 33 -- 99 $ 266,299 195 (9,837) 256,657 Total proceeds from sales or issuer calls of investment securities available for sale during 1994 were $71,430. There were gross gains of $6 and gross losses of $76 realized in 1994. Investment securities available for sale with an aggregate par value of $1,075 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by various agencies. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," that requires debt and equity securities held: (i) to maturity be classified as such and reported at amortized cost; (ii) for current resale be classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in current earnings; and (iii) for any other purpose be classified as securities available for sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from current earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. On January 1, 1994, Security Capital adopted the provisions of Standard No. 115 and classified approximately $329,799 of securities as investment securities available for sale. Security Capital recorded a fair value adjustment for this change in accounting principle amounting to $6,075 for the unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale, an increase to deferred income taxes of $2,039, and an increase to stockholders' equity of $4,036. At December 31, 1994, Security Capital recorded a fair value adjustment amounting to ($15,717) for the change in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available for sale during the year, a deferred tax benefit of $5,309, and a decrease to stockholders' equity of $10,408. 14 (4) INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY A comparative summary of investment securities held to maturity follows: DECEMBER 31, 1994 GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED MARKET COST GAINS LOSSES VALUE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) U.S. Government obligations $ 54,328 -- (1,953) 52,375 U.S. Government agency obligations 76,931 -- (3,412) 73,519 Mortgage-backed securities 8,659 6 (301) 8,364 State and municipal obligations 15,679 180 (327) 15,532 $ 155,597 186 (5,993) 149,790 December 31, 1993 Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) U.S. Government obligations $ 305,180 5,762 183 310,759 US Government agency obligations 40,409 304 345 40,368 Mortgage-backed securities 12,676 459 -- 13,135 State and municipal obligations 10,022 676 -- 10,698 Other 66 20 -- 86 $ 368,353 7,221 528 375,046 There were no sales or issuer calls of investment securities held to maturity during 1994. Total proceeds from sales or issuer calls of investment securities held to maturity during 1993 and 1992 were $5,860, and $11, respectively. There were gross realized gains of $310 and $8, respectively, and no gross realized losses in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Investment securities held to maturity with an aggregate par value of $18,050 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by various agencies. (5) LOANS RECEIVABLE A comparative summary of loans receivable follows: [CAPTION] December 31, 1994 1993 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Real estate mortgage (principally single family dwellings, 1-4 units) $447,452 338,562 Real estate construction 14,396 10,085 Commercial, financial, and agricultural 126,291 64,739 Installment 62,681 62,341 Unearned income (2,691) (2,698) Premium on loans sold 102 173 $648,231 473,202 Nonaccrual and restructured loans included above $ 1,903 1,759 Accruing loans past due 90 days were $2,402 and $420 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Accrued interest receivable at December 31, 1994 and 1993, consisted of the following: [CAPTION] December 31, 1994 1993 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Loans $ 5,512 3,430 Investment securities 6,879 6,041 Other 94 70 $12,485 9,541 Certain real estate loans are pledged as collateral for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") as set forth in note 8. 15 Loans serviced for others approximated $314,692, $203,403 and $174,884 at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Included in other assets are foreclosed properties (real estate owned) of $1,704 and $951 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Security Capital's banking subsidiaries offer mortgage and consumer loans to their officers, directors, and employees for the financing of their personal residences and for other personal purposes. These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and management believes they are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons. Management does not believe these loans involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The following is a reconciliation of loans outstanding in excess of $60 to Security Capital's executive officers, directors, and their immediate families for the year ended December 31, 1994: (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Balance at December 31, 1993 $3,172 New loans 120 Repayments (1,219) Balance at December 31, 1994 $2,073 The FASB has issued Standard No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that all creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement at either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or if more practical, the market price or value of collateral. This Standard is required to be implemented prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The FASB has also issued Standard No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures", that amends Standard No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired loans. This Standard is to be implemented concurrently with Standard No. 114. At this time, management does not anticipate a material impact to the consolidated financial statements of Security Capital upon the adoption of these Standards.

The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income taxes of $388 as of January 1, 1993 is reflected in the 1993 financial statements as a reduction of income tax expense. Financial statements for the periods prior to 1993 have not been restated to apply the provisions of Standard No. 109. Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, was as follows: Current Deferred Total (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1994: FEDERAL $6,824 4,010 10,834 STATE 506 536 1,042 $7,330 4,546 11,876 1993: Federal 7,019 (132) 6,887 State 403 (17) 386 $7,422 (149) 7,273 1992: Federal 6,745 (839) 5,906 State 417 -- 417 $7,162 (839) 6,323 The income tax expense of Security Capital for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, was different from the amount computed by applying the federal income tax rate to income before income taxes because of the following: [CAPTION] 1994 1993 1992 Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Income tax expense at federal rate $6,479 35.0% $7,739 35.0% $5,537 34.0% Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: Adjustment to deferred tax assets and liabilities for enacted changes in tax laws and rates -- -- (48) (.2) -- -- Change in beginning-of-the-year deferred tax assets valuation allowance (92) (.5) (46) (.2) -- -- Tax-exempt interest (247) (1.3) (301) (1.3) (361) (2.2) Thrift bad debt provision for financial reporting purposes in excess of current year loan losses -- -- -- -- 504 3.1 Thrift bad debt reserve recapture 4,906 26.5 -- -- -- -- State income tax expense, net of federal income tax benefit 677 3.7 251 1.1 275 1.7 Other, net 153 .8 (322) (1.5) 368 2.2 $11,876 64.2% $7,273 32.9% $6,323 38.8% For the year ended December 31, 1992, deferred income tax benefits resulted from timing differences in the period in which revenues and expenses were recognized for income tax and financial statement purposes. The sources of these differences and the tax effects of each are presented below: [CAPTION] 1992 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Deferred compensation $ (327) Accrued expenses, not deductible until paid (258) Other, net (254) $ (839) 18 The sources and tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax liabilities (assets) at December 31, 1994 and 1993, are presented below: 1994 1993 (Dollars in Thousands) Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation $ 925 987 FHLB Stock -- book basis greater than tax basis 881 869 Prepaid FDIC premium 502 -- Prepaid pension expense 231 232 Bank bad debt recapture 116 204 FHLMC discount accretion 151 207 Thrift bad debt reserve recapture 5,627 -- Other 97 98 Total gross deferred tax liabilities 8,530 2,597 Deferred tax assets: Unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale (3,886) -- Provision for loan losses, net (2,934) (1,687) Net deferred loan fees (522) (603) Accrued expenses, deductible when paid (1,902) (1,711) Intangible assets tax basis greater than book basis (39) -- Other (197) (298) Total gross deferred tax assets (9,480) (4,299) Deferred tax assets valuation allowance 725 201 Net deferred tax asset $ (225) (1,501) A portion of the change in the net deferred tax asset relates to unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale. The related current period deferred tax benefit of $3,270, net of a charge of $616 to the valuation allowance, has been recorded directly to stockholders' equity. The balance of the change in the net deferred tax asset results from the current period deferred tax expense of $4,546. The realization of net deferred tax assets may be based on utilization of carrybacks to prior taxable periods, anticipation of future taxable income in certain periods, and the utilization of tax planning strategies. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset can be supported by carrybacks to federal taxable income and by expected future taxable income which will far exceed amounts necessary to fully realize remaining deferred tax assets resulting from the scheduling of temporary differences. The valuation allowance primarily relates to certain state temporary differences. At January 1, 1993, the valuation allowance was $247. The change in the valuation allowance during 1994 and 1993 was a net increase (decrease) of $524 and $(46), respectively. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries are allowed a special bad debt deduction related to additions to tax bad debt reserves established for the purpose of absorbing losses. A reduction of such reserves for purposes other than bad debt losses will create income for tax purposes only, which will be subject to the then current corporate income tax rates. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 23, a deferred tax liability is not currently recognized for temporary differences resulting from a savings bank's base year tax bad debt reserve. At December 31, 1993, the potential deferred tax liability related to the recapture of this portion of the tax bad debt reserve was approximately $5,600. As a result of the savings bank subsidiaries change in tax accounting method to the specific charge-off method for bad debts during 1994, Security Capital has recorded an additional federal and state income tax expense in 1994 of $5,600 to fully recapture prior amounts. At December 31, 1994, there are no remaining amounts included in retained earnings for which a provision for federal or state income tax has not been made. In 1994, the Internal Revenue Service examination of Security Capital's 1992 federal income tax return was settled with no material impact on Security Capital's financial position or results of operations. Income tax returns subsequent to 1992 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities. 19 (10) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY At the time of their conversions to stock ownership, liquidation accounts were established for each of Security Capital's savings bank subsidiaries in amounts equal to their respective regulatory capital. Each eligible deposit account holder, as described in the respective plans of conversion, is entitled to a proportionate share of this account in the event of a complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, and only in such event. This share will be reduced if the account holder's balance in the related deposit account falls below the amount in such account on the date(s) of record, and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation accounts will never be increased despite any increase after the conversions in the related balance of an account holder. Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries must comply with certain regulatory capital requirements established by the FRB and the FDIC. At December 31, 1994, these standards required Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to total risk-weighted assets and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets (as defined) of 3.00% to 5.00%, depending upon the specific institution's composite ratings as determined by its regulators. At December 31, 1994, Security Capital and its banking subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the aforementioned capital requirements. Security Capital also has authorized 5,000,000 shares of no par value preferred stock, none of which is issued and outstanding at December 31, 1994. (11) PENSION, PROFIT SHARING, AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS Security Capital had a profit sharing plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan") covering certain of Security Bank's employees. In 1993 Security Capital merged the Profit Sharing Plan into an Employees' Incentive Profit Sharing and Savings (401k) Plan (the "Incentive Plan") for the benefit of the eligible employees of Security Capital and its subsidiaries. As a result, Security Capital made contributions to the Incentive Plan in 1993 rather than to the Profit Sharing Plan. Contributions to the Incentive Plan are based on a percentage of Security Capital's profits, as computed by a formula set by the Board of Directors. The maximum allowable contribution is 15% of the participating employee's compensation. Profit sharing costs charged to expense approximated $360 in 1994, $694 in 1993, and $329 in 1992. Security Bank sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit plan which covered substantially all the employees of Security Bank and Security Capital sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the savings bank subsidiaries (the "Plans"). The Plans were merged into one defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees of Security Capital and its subsidiaries as of January 1, 1993. Benefits for the Plan are based on years of service and the employee's annual compensation during his or her term of employment. Security Capital's funding policy is to contribute annually to the Plan the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The following table sets forth the Plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993. [CAPTION] 1994 1993 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Plans' assets at fair value, primarily short-term investments and U.S. Treasury securities $ 7,660 7,028 Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation for service rendered to date 7,921 9,503 Plans' assets less than projected benefit obligation (261) (2,475) Unrecognized net transition asset being recognized over 18 years (443) (487) Unrecognized net (gain) loss (349) 1,693 Unrecognized prior service cost 1,490 1,628 Prepaid pension cost included in other assets $ 437 359 20 The actuarial present value of the accumulated benefit obligation amounted to $6,095 in 1994 and $6,341 in 1993, including vested benefits of $5,924 in 1994 and $6,135 in 1993. Net periodic pension cost for the Plans for the three years ended December 31, 1994 included the following components: [CAPTION] 1994 1993 1992 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Service cost -- benefits earned during the period $ 410 374 403 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 596 586 367 Return on Plans' assets (334) (467) (390) Net amortization and deferral (160) 14 -- Net periodic pension cost $ 512 507 380 The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 8.0% in 1994, 7.0% in 1993 and 7.75% in 1992. The expected rate of increase in future compensation levels was 5.0% in 1994, 6.0% in 1993 and 6.5% to 8.0% in 1992. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.0% in 1994 and 1993 and 7.0% to 8.0% in 1992. Prior to the acquisition, First Federal had a defined contribution plan where eligible employees would receive a contribution on their behalf in an amount equal to 15% of annual compensation. Security Capital made a contribution to this plan for remaining eligible employees in the amount of $66 in 1994. Management plans to terminate this plan in early 1995. (12) STOCK OPTION PLANS Security Capital has continued in effect the Omni Capital Group, Inc. 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan pursuant to which options to purchase Security Capital common stock may be granted to certain full-time officers and employees at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Such options are exercisable for a ten year period. An aggregate of 675,000 shares of common stock is reserved for issuance under this plan. In the case of an employee who owns more than 10% of Security Capital's outstanding common stock at the time the option is granted, the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, and shall be exercisable after the expiration of six months and before the expiration of five years from the date of grant. Security Capital has also continued in effect the Omni Capital Group, Inc. 1988 Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which certain non-employee members of the boards of directors of Security Capital and its subsidiaries have been granted options to purchase Security Capital common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under this plan must be exercised within five years from the date of grant. On March 15, 1988, OMNIBANK adopted two stock option plans, the Home Federal Savings Bank 1988 Amended and Restated Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and the Home Federal Savings Bank 1988 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Home Option Plans"), which plans became effective upon the completion of its conversion from a mutual savings and loan association to a capital stock savings bank. Home Federal Savings Bank was subsequently renamed OMNIBANK. Security Capital has continued the Home Option Plans. An aggregate number of shares amounting to 337,500 has been reserved by Security Capital to be issued upon the exercise of stock options which have been granted to certain directors, officers, and employees of Security Capital under the Home Option Plans. No more options may be granted under the Home Option Plans. All stock options outstanding at the time of the Merger were converted into options to acquire common stock of Security Capital. The shareholders of Security Capital approved an Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan at the 1994 annual meeting. The plan added 300,000 shares of common stock available to be granted to key employees and officers of Security Capital or its subsidiaries. Options are priced at 100% or more of the fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted. These options are first subject to vesting on the second anniversary of the date of grant and vest over the next five years in annual increments of 20%. 21 The following table reflects the combined status of all of the above stock option plans at December 31, 1994: Available Shares for Subject to Price Future Outstanding per Grants Options Exercisable Share Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans: (1) Balance outstanding at December 31, 1992 72,947 108,016 -- $ 3.56-7.67 Granted -- -- -- -- Exercised -- (65,834) -- $ 3.56-5.78 Balance outstanding at December 31, 1993 72,947 42,182 42,182 3.56-7.67 GRANTED -- -- -- -- EXERCISED -- (35,095) -- 4.08-5.78 BALANCE OUTSTANDING AT DECEMBER 31, 1994 72,947 7,087 7,087 $ 7.67 Incentive Stock Option Plans: (2) Balance outstanding at December 31, 1992 247,500 435,936 -- $ 3.56-7.11 Granted -- -- -- -- Exercised -- (71,031) -- 3.56-7.11 Balance outstanding at December 31, 1993 247,500 364,905 364,905 3.56-7.11 GRANTED -- -- -- -- EXERCISED -- (57,935) -- 3.56-7.11 BALANCE OUTSTANDING AT DECEMBER 31, 1994 247,500 306,970 306,970 $ 3.56-7.11 1994 Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan: Balance outstanding at December 31, 1993 -- -- -- -- Common stock available to be granted 300,000 -- -- -- GRANTED (71,000 ) 71,000 -- $ 13.625-15.375 EXERCISED -- -- -- -- BALANCE OUTSTANDING AT DECEMBER 31, 1994 229,000 71,000 -- $ 13.625-15.375 (1) INCLUDES THE HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AMENDED AND RESTATED 1988 DIRECTORS' NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN AND THE OMNI CAPITAL GROUP, INC. 1988 DIRECTORS' NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION PLAN. (2) INCLUDES THE HOME FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK 1988 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN AND THE OMNI CAPITAL GROUP, INC, 1988 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN. (13) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Security Capital continued Omni's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") for the benefit of the former employees of Omni and its subsidiaries. Contributions to the ESOP were made on a discretionary basis and were allocated to each eligible employee based on his/her salary in relation to total employee compensation expense. At retirement or termination of employment, each employee will receive an amount equal to his/her vested interest in the ESOP in the form of cash or common stock. In connection with the mutual to stock conversions of the savings bank subsidiaries, the ESOP borrowed funds to purchase Omni common stock for the ESOP. Upon the Merger, the shares of Omni common stock held in the ESOP were exchanged for shares of Security Capital common stock. During 1992, Security Capital repurchased sufficient remaining unallocated shares of Security Capital common stock held by the ESOP to eliminate the remaining balance of the related debt. In 1994 and 1993, Security Capital made contributions to the Incentive Plan discussed in Note 11 rather than to the ESOP. Security Capital plans to officially terminate the ESOP in 1995. ESOP costs charged to expense amounted to $5, $10 and $334 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. (14) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK Security Capital is a defendent in various litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters will not result in a material adverse effect on Security Capital's financial position. In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 1994, outstanding loan commitments approximated $2,591 (Fixed Rate -- $349, Variable Rate -- $2,242), preapproved but unused lines of credit for loans 22 totalled $95,198 and standby letters of credit aggregated $675. These amounts represent Security Capital's exposure to credit risk, and in the opinion of management have no more than the normal lending risk that Security Capital's banking subsidiaries commit to their borrowers. If these commitments are drawn, Security Capital's banking subsidiaries will obtain collateral if it is deemed necessary based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, and commercial or residential real estate. Management expects that these commitments can be funded through normal operations. In addition, Security Capital has no off-balance sheet derivative commitments. Security Capital's banking subsidiaries make primarily commercial, real estate and installment loans to customers throughout their market areas, which consists primarily of the south central and western Piedmont regions of North Carolina. These subsidiaries' real estate loan portfolios can be affected by the condition of the local real estate markets and their commercial and installment loan portfolios can be affected by local economic conditions. Average daily Federal Reserve balance requirements for Security Bank and the savings bank subsidiaries for the two week period ended January 4, 1995 amounted to $6,765 and $525, respectively.

Certain regulatory and other requirements restrict the lending of funds by the subsidiaries to the Parent Company and the amount of dividends which can be paid to the Parent Company. Subject to restrictions imposed by state laws and federal regulations, the Boards of Directors of the Parent Company's subsidiaries may declare dividends from their retained earnings of up to approximately $36,900 at December 31, 1994. The subsidiaries are prohibited by law from paying dividends from their capital stock and paid-in capital accounts totaling approximately $38,100 at December 31, 1994.

Statement No. 107 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for each type of financial instrument. CASH, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS The carrying amount of cash, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest receivable or payable on all financial instruments approximate fair value because of the short terms to maturity of these financial instruments. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of investment securities available for sale at December 31, 1994: 1994 Estimated Fair Value Amortized and Carrying Cost Value (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) US Government Obligations: Due in one year or less $ 63,227 62,976 Due after one year through five years 129,315 123,602 Due after five years through ten years 2,070 2,062 US Government agency obligations: Due in one year or less 1,006 1,004 Due after one year through five years 49,882 46,384 Due after five years through ten years 19,773 19,603 Mortgage-backed securities: 960 927 Other: Due after ten years 66 99 $266,299 256,657 25 The fair value of debt securities is established based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. INVESTMENT SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of investment securities held to maturity at December 31, 1994 and 1993: At December 31, 1994 1993 Amortized Amortized Cost and Cost and Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Value Fair Value Value Fair Value (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) US Government obligations: Due in one year or less $ 1,000 1,000 94,356 95,719 Due after one year through five years 53,328 51,375 210,824 215,040 US Government agency obligations: Due in one year or less -- -- 500 505 Due after one year through five years 45,968 43,613 34,947 34,724 Due after five years through ten years 30,963 29,906 4,962 5,139 Mortgage-backed securities: 8,659 8,364 12,676 13,135 State and municipal obligations: Due in one year or less 6,509 6,612 1,002 1,018 Due after one year through five years 2,484 2,561 9,020 9,680 Due after five years through ten years 1,276 1,243 -- -- Due after ten years 5,410 5,116 -- -- Other: Due after ten years -- -- 66 86 $155,597 149,790 368,353 375,046 The fair value of debt securities, except certain state and municipal obligations, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal obligations is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of instruments similar to those being valued, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued. LOANS For purposes of estimating fair value of loans, the portfolio is segregated by type based on similar characteristics such as real estate mortgage, real estate construction and installment and equity lines of credit. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit risk. Cash flows for fixed rate loans are based on the weighted average maturity of the specific loan category. Adjustable rate loans are either prime based and are repriced immediately or monthly as prime changes, or are based on published indices and have relatively short terms to their repricing dates. The following table presents fair value information for loans: 1994 1993 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Loans, net $638,914 615,451 465,975 472,092 Loans held for sale $ 2,697 2,697 18,409 18,411 26 DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The following table presents fair value information for deposits: At December 31, 1994 1993 Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Demand deposit- noninterest-bearing $ 67,203 67,203 67,830 67,830 Demand deposit- interest bearing 91,071 91,071 76,130 76,130 Insured money market accounts 94,981 94,981 79,711 79,711 Savings deposits 165,107 165,107 151,360 151,360 Certificates of deposit 593,783 581,144 409,425 411,365 $1,012,145 999,506 784,456 786,396 ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK AND OTHER BORROWED MONEY The fair value of advances from the FHLB is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to Security Capital for debt of the same remaining maturities. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the carrying value of advances from the FHLB was $18,576 and $8,000, respectively, and the fair value was $18,477 and $8,539, respectively. The fair value of other borrowed money, consisting of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, bearing a short term to maturity, is considered to approximate carrying value. COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT The large majority of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are at variable rates and/or have relatively short terms to maturity and, therefore, are subject to minimal interest rate risk exposure. LIMITATIONS Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time Security Capital's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of Security Capital's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, a significant asset not considered a financial asset is premises and equipment. In addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates. 27 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors Security Capital Bancorp Salisbury, North Carolina We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security Capital Bancorp and subsidiaries (Security Capital) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994, included on pages 7 through 27 herein.
