NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies of First Citizens
Bancorporation of South Carolina, Inc. ("Bancorporation") is set forth in Note 1
to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancorporation's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for 2001. The significant accounting policies used during the current
quarter are unchanged from those disclosed in the 2001 Annual Report.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The preceding consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments comprising
normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements have been recorded. Certain amounts in prior periods have
been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141")
and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS 141
requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted
for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are reviewed annually
(or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable
intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to
be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The
amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets
acquired after June 30, 2001. Bancorporation adopted SFAS No. 142 effective
January 1, 2002 which had no material affect.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
In accordance with SFAS 142, no goodwill amortization was recorded for the six
months ended June 30, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense for the six months and
quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $114 and $57, respectively. At June 30, 2002,
the total carrying amount of intangible assets not subject to amortization was
$3,217.
At June 30, 2002, the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related
to core deposits and other intangibles was $102,387 and $66,215, respectively.
At December 31, 2001, the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization
related to core deposits and other intangibles was $102,362 and $61,930,
respectively. At June 30, 2001, the gross carrying value and accumulated
amortization related to core deposits and other intangibles was $98,603 and
$57,242, respectively. Amortization expense on core deposits and other
intangibles was $4,285 and $4,934 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. Amortization expense on core deposits and other intangibles
was $2,106 and $2,462 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense
will be $8,088 for 2002, $7,156 for 2003, $6,304 for 2004, $4,913 for 2005 and
$3,253 for 2006.
ACQUISITIONS
There were no acquisitions during the quarter ending June 30, 2002.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
On July 3, 2002, Bancorporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization and Merger with CB Financial Corp. ("CBF"). CBF is a Georgia
corporation, which operates as a registered bank holding company and owns all
the outstanding shares of common stock of Citizens Bank, an insured,
state-chartered Georgia bank headquartered in Warrenton, Georgia. Citizens Bank
operates two banking offices in McDuffie and Warren counties. CBF has total
deposits and loans of $39,000 and $19,000, respectively, as of June 30, 2002.
The merger is expected to be completed during the third or fourth quarter of
2002 pending regulatory and CBF shareholder approvals .
On July 15, 2002, First-Citizens Bank and Trust of South Carolina entered into a
Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement to acquire two branches from an
unrelated financial institution with estimated total deposits and loans of
$20,000 and $5,000, respectively. The acquisition is expected to be completed
during the fourth quarter of 2002 pending regulatory approvals.
On July 24, 2002, Bancorporation's Board of Directors declared a $.25 dividend
on common stock to shareholders of record on August 2, 2002, payable August 15,
2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion may contain statements that could be deemed forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which statements are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are
statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about
future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact.
Such statements are often characterized by the use of the qualifying words (and
their derivatives) such as "expect," believe," "estimate," "plan," "project,"
"anticipate," or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of
Bancorporation and its management about future events. Factors that could
influence the accuracy of such forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of Bancorporations'
customers, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates,
and general economic conditions.
SUMMARY (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $9,853, or
$10.66 per common share and $21,022, or $22.73 per common share, respectively.
Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $7,492, or
$7.97 per common share and $15,897, or $16.91 per common share, respectively.
The primary factors affecting the increase in net income for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 were a $4,672 or 15.85% increase in net interest income after
provision for loan losses, and a $1,298 or 11.39% increase in noninterest
income. These favorable changes were partially offset by a $2,419 or 8.17%
increase in noninterest expense, and a $1,190 or 31.53% increase in income tax
expense.
The primary factors affecting the increase in net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 were a $10,592 or 18.11% increase in net interest income
after provision for loan losses, and a $951 or 4.12% increase in noninterest
income. These favorable changes were partially offset by a $3,836 or 6.65%
increase in noninterest expense, and a $2,582 or 32.24% increase in income tax
expense.
Return on average stockholders' equity and average assets are key measures of
earnings performance. Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was 13.90% and 11.93%, respectively. The
increase was primarily the result of an increase in return on assets from .88%
to 1.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively.
The increase in return on assets was due to a 31 basis point increase in net
interest margin to average assets and a 3 basis point improvement in
non-interest margin to average assets. This was offset by an increase of 5
basis points in provision for loan losses to average assets and an increase of
10 basis points in income tax expense to average assets.
Return on average stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002
and June 30, 2001 was 15.13% and 13.04%, respectively. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in return on assets from .94% to 1.16% for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The
increase was due to a 35 basis point increase in net interest margin to average
assets. This was offset by an increase of 4 basis points in provision for loan
losses to average assets and an increase of 10 basis points in income tax
expense to average assets.
Net interest income is discussed further in the following section.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED)
CURRENT QUARTER COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR QUARTER
- ----------------------------------------------------
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $5,225 or 16.44% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001. Net interest
margin to average assets increased from 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30,
2001 to 4.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This is attributable to a 32
basis point increase in the net interest margin to average interest-earning
assets. The mix of interest-earning assets to average total assets remained
relatively stable.
Net interest margin to average interest-earning assets increased from 4.05% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 4.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
This was attributable to an increase in the net interest spread from 3.44% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 4.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
The increase in the net interest spread was due to the decrease in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the decrease in interest earned on
interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased from
7.51% at June 30, 2002 to 6.26% at June 30, 2001, or 125 basis points, while the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.07% to 2.25%, or 182 basis
points. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was due to a
decrease in the yields on loans, investment securities and federal funds sold.
The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease
in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase.
CURRENT YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $11,386 or 18.44% for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001. Net
interest margin to average assets increased from 3.67% for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 to 4.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This is
attributable to a 37 basis point increase in the net interest margin to average
interest-earning assets.
Net interest margin to average interest-earning assets increased from 4.01% for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.38% for the six months ended June 30,
2002. This was attributable to an increase in the net interest spread from
3.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.01% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. The increase in the net interest spread was due to the decrease
in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the decrease in interest
earned on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets
decreased from 7.66% at June 30, 2001 to 6.37% at June 30, 2002, or 129 basis
points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.26% to
2.36%, or 190 basis points. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning
assets was due to a decrease in the yields on loans, investment securities and
federal funds sold. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
was due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
CURRENT QUARTER COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR QUARTER
- ----------------------------------------------------
Noninterest income increased by $1,298 or 11.39% for the quarter ended June 30,
2002, over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in service charges on
deposits, insurance premiums, and commissions and fees from fiduciary
activities. Service charges on deposits increased by $1,240 or 19.44% over the
comparable period primarily due to overall deposit growth. Insurance premiums
earned and commissions and fees from fiduciary activities increased by $219 or
42.61% and $155 or 23.96%, respectively, over the comparable period. The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of investment
securities of $858.
Noninterest expense increased by $2,419 or 8.17% for the quarter ended June 30,
2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in salaries and
employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, data processing expense and
bankcard processing expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased
$2,153 or 15.68% over the comparable period primarily due to an increase in the
number of employees and merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased by
$455 or 25.36% over the comparable period due to an increase in depreciation
expense. Data processing expense increased $130 or 5.22% over the comparable
period due to the on-going growth realized by Bancorporation. Bankcard
processing expense increased by $118 or 8.47% over the comparable period due to
increased bankcard activity. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in
amortization of intangibles of $413 or 16.40% due to the run off of goodwill
related to former acquisitions.
Overall, the noninterest margin (noninterest income less noninterest expense) to
average assets improved from a negative 2.13% for the quarter ended June 30,
2001 to a negative 2.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This was due to a
2 basis point improvement in non-interest expense to average assets and a 1
basis point improvement in non-interest income to average assets.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Noninterest income increased by $951 or 4.12% for the six months ended June 30,
2002, over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in service charges on
deposits, commissions and fees from fiduciary activities and mortgage servicing
fees. Service charges on deposits increased by $2,334 or 19.01% over the
comparable period, primarily due to overall deposit growth. Commissions and fees
from fiduciary activities and mortgage servicing fees increased $380 or 29.87%
and $240 or 21.31%, respectively, over the comparable period. The increase was
offset by a decrease in gain on sale of investment securities of $2,651.
Noninterest expense increased by $3,836 or 6.65% for the six months ended June
30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in salaries and
employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, data processing expense and
bankcard processing expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased
$3,169 or 11.75% over the comparable period primarily due to an increase in the
number of employees and merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased by
$667 or 18.41% over the comparable period due to an increase in depreciation.
Data processing expense increased $573 or 12.49% over the comparable period due
to the on-going growth realized by Bancorporation. Bankcard processing expense
increased by $191 or 7.10% over the comparable period due to increased bankcard
activity. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization of
intangibles of $763 or 15.11% over the comparable period due to the run off of
goodwill related to former acquisitions.
Overall, the noninterest margin (noninterest income less noninterest expense) to
average assets remained constant at a negative 2.06% for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
INCOME TAXES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Total income tax expense increased by $1,190 or 31.53% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to the increase in net
income. Total income tax expense increased by $2,582 or 32.24% for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to the
increase in net income. The effective tax rate was 33.5% at June 30, 2002 and
June 30, 2001.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENT SECURITIES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
As of June 30, 2002, the investment portfolio totaled $954,585, compared to
$817,266 at June 30, 2001. The investment portfolio increased as funds were
shifted from federal funds sold to the bond portfolio. Bancorporation continues
to invest primarily in short-term U.S. government obligations and agency
securities to minimize credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. The investment
portfolio consisted of 93.07% and 93.16% U.S. government and government agency
securities as of June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The remainder
of the investment portfolio consists of municipal bonds and equity securities.
LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
As of June 30, 2002, loans totaled $2,285,483, compared to $2,159,166 at June
30, 2001, an increase of $126,317, or 5.85%, the result of normal loan growth.
Between June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, approximately $209 of loans were
acquired from other financial institutions. The composition of the loan
portfolio has not shifted significantly since June 30, 2001. Loan growth was
funded through core deposits and short-term borrowed funds.
Page 12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)
It is the policy of Bancorporation to maintain an allowance for loan losses to
absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management believes
that the provision taken during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
appropriate to provide an allowance for loan losses which considers the past
experience of charge-offs, the level of past due and nonaccrual loans, the size
and mix of the loan portfolio, credit classifications and general economic
conditions in Bancorporation's market areas.
An analysis of activity in the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2002 and
2001 is presented below. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through
charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan charge-offs and recoveries are
charged or credited directly to the allowance for loan losses.

FUNDING SOURCES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
Bancorporation's primary source of funds is its deposit base. Total deposits
increased $218,204 or 7.52% from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Between June
30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, approximately $45,330 of deposits were acquired from
other financial institutions. Average deposits were $3,089,656 and $2,797,508
at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.
Short-term borrowings in the form of securities sold under agreements to
repurchase are another source of funds. Short-term borrowings increased $12,036
or 6.04% from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Average short-term borrowings
were $219,789 and $267,104 at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Regulatory agencies define capital as Tier I, consisting of stockholders' equity
less ineligible intangible assets, and Total Capital, consisting of Tier I
capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and certain
long-term debt.
Regulatory guidelines require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-adjusted
assets of 8 percent, with at least 50 percent consisting of tangible common
stockholders' equity and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks
which meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10
percent, and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered
well-capitalized by regulatory standards. The following table details
Bancorporation's capital ratios at June 30, 2002 and 2001.
