BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regency Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Regency Bancorp is a California corporation organized to act as the holding company for Regency Bank (the "Bank") and Regency Investment Advisors, Inc. ("RIA"). RIA provides investment management and consulting services. The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Regency Service Corporation ("RSC"), a California corporation, that has engaged in the business of real estate development primarily in the Fresno/Clovis area. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on a basis consistent with the accounting policies reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. They do not, however, include all of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. NOTE 2. - INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company maintains a securities portfolio consisting of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies and corporations, state and political subdivisions, asset-backed and other securities. An independent custodian holds investment securities in safekeeping. The provisions of SFAS No. 115 require, among other things, that certain investments in debt and equity securities be classified under three categories: securities held-to-maturity; trading securities; and securities available-for-sale. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are to be reported at amortized cost; securities classified as trading securities are to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in operations; and securities classified as available-for-sale are to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax. If a security is sold, any gain or loss is recorded as a charge to earnings and the equity adjustment is reversed. At December 31, 1998, the Bank held $46.9 million in securities classified as available-for-sale. During the period between December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a decrease in the value of its available-for-sale portfolio of $900,000, net of applicable taxes. This change is reflected as a change in shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity and was primarily the result of higher interest rates in general. The Company had no securities classified as held-to-maturity or as trading securities at June 30, 1999 or December 31, 1998, respectively. 7 The following table reflects the amortized cost and approximate fair value of securities available-for-sale as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITES: JUNE 30, 1999 DECEMBER 31, 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AMORTIZED FAIR AMORTIZED FAIR (In thousands) COST VALUE COST VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S. Treasuries $ 1,014 $ 1,014 $ 1,003 $ 1,008 U.S. Government agencies 19,652 18,986 16,434 16,468 Mortgage-backed securities 14,743 14,454 17,761 17,779 State and political subdivisions 13,130 12,910 11,166 11,488 Equity securities 5 5 247 247 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $ 48,544 $ 47,369 $ 46,611 $ 46,990 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In addition to the available-for-sale securities listed above, the Company held $1,416,000 in nonmarketable equity securities at June 30, 1999. These securities are made up of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which is not traded on a recognized exchange. In order to maintain membership in these banks an equity investment is required. The Company can resell its investment to either the Federal Reserve or the Federal Home Loan Bank should it choose to relinquish membership. At June 30, 1999, no impairment reserve was deemed necessary. The Company held nonmarketable equity securities of $1,170,000 at December 31, 1998. Note 3. - Loans The following table presents a breakdown of the Company's loan portfolio in both dollars outstanding, as well as, a percentage of total loans. Further discussion of the Company's loan portfolio can be found in "Item No. 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Balance Sheet Analysis". - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS JUNE 30, 1999 DECEMBER 31, 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERCENT PERCENT OF TOTAL OF TOTAL (In thousands) AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial $ 99,680 64.3% $ 99,341 65.7% Real estate: Mortgage 20,291 13.1% 16,682 11.0% Construction 25,387 16.4% 25,192 16.7% Consumer and other 9,689 6.2% 9,936 6.6% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subtotal $ 155,047 100.0% $ 151,151 100.0% - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less: Unearned discount 576 440 Deferred loan fees 499 492 Allowance for credit losses 2,636 2,631 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans, net $ 151,336 $ 147,588 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 NOTE 4. - EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus potential common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS 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 Company. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation with the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation for the three months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) FOR THE THREE MONTHS FOR THE SIX MONTHS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ENDED JUNE 30, ENDED JUNE 30, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basic EPS Computation: Net income $ 1,342 $ 629 $ 2,453 $ 1,148 Average common shares outstanding 2,626 2,624 2,625 2,623 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basic EPS $ 0.51 $ 0.24 $ 0.93 $ 0.44 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diluted EPS Computation: Net income $ 1,342 $ 629 $ 2,453 $ 1,148 Average common shares outstanding 2,626 2,624 2,625 2,623 Stock options 167 147 157 137 Warrants 77 36 71 36 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total average diluted shares outstanding 2,870 2,807 2,853 2,796 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Diluted EPS $ 0.47 $ 0.22 $ 0.86 $ 0.41 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Options to purchase 0 and 40,000 shares of common stock at various prices per share were outstanding at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, but were not included in diluted EPS because the options exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the periods then ended. NOTE 5. - PROSPECTIVE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the financial statements due to the Partnership's inability to invest in such investments as stated in the Partnership agreement. SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" changed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to June 15, 2000. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain matters discussed or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including, but not limited to, matters described in Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Changes to such risks and uncertainties, which could impact future financial performance, include, among others, (1) competitive pressures in the banking industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally; (4) changes in the regulatory environment; (5) changes in business conditions and inflation; (6) changes in securities markets; and (7) Year 2000 compliance problems. Therefore, the information set forth therein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of the Company and the Bank. OVERVIEW Zions Bancorporation, Regency Bancorp and Regency Bank executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 27, 1999, amended May 11, 1999 (the "Agreement"), by and among Zions Bancorporation, Regency Bancorp and Regency Bank. Pursuant to the Agreement, Regency Bancorp will merge with and into Zions Bancorporation in a tax-free merger intended to be accounted for as a pooling of interests (the "Merger") with outstanding shares of Regency Bancorp converted into 0.3233 of a share of Zions Bancorporation, subject to certain adjustments, and Regency Bank will merge with and into California Bank & Trust, a subsidiary of Zions Bancorporation. The Agreement includes among its terms, the grant of a stock option to Zions Bancorporation to acquire up to 19.9% of the outstanding Regency Bancorp shares upon the occurrence of certain events pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated as of April 27, 1999. The Merger is subject to the approval of Regency Bancorp shareholders and applicable regulatory approvals. The foregoing is qualified by reference to the Forms 8-K and exhibits thereto filed with the Commission on May 6, 1999 and May 11, 1999, respectively. The Merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 1999. The Company's second quarter and first six months, ended June 30, 1999, were marked by stellar earnings performance. Consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, was $1.34 million and $2.45 million, respectively. Compared to the same periods in 1998, these results represent a 113 percent increase over second quarter earnings of $629,000, and a 114 percent increase over earnings of $1.15 million for the first six months of 1998. Return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was 2.30 percent and for the first six months was 2.15%. Return on average equity was 22.73 percent for the three months and 21.24 percent for the six months. The substantial improvement in earnings for the second quarter of 1999 was the result of significant revenue growth (interest and noninterest income), while noninterest expense was virtually unchanged from the first quarter and declined from noninterest expense in the second quarter of 1998. The improved net interest income combined with the reduction in noninterest expense improved the Company's efficiency ratio to 50.6 percent during the second quarter of 1999 and 53.0 percent year-to-date, compared to 69.4 percent during 1998's second quarter and 69.3 percent in 1998's first six months. Basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 increased to $0.51 and $0.93, compared to $0.24 and $0.44 for the same periods in 1998. The Company paid cash dividends of $.10 per share in both the first and second quarters of 1999, while no cash dividends were paid during 1998's first six months. 10 At June 30, 1999, the Company's loan portfolio reached $155 million, an increase of $12.7 million or 8.9 percent since June 30, 1998, and an increase of $3.9 million since December 31, 1998. During 1999's second quarter, the Company sold approximately 7.2 million in SBA guaranteed loans. Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $229.7 million, an increase of 11.7 percent or $24 million from $205.6 million at June 30, 1998. Assets were down $2.3 million or 1.0 percent from December 31, 1998 as a result of a seasonal decline in deposits. Total deposits were $202.9 million at June 30, 1999, up $20.6 million or 11.3 percent from June 30, 1998, but down $3.8 million from December 31, 1998. While loan growth has been substantial during the past twelve months, nonperforming loans to total loans declined to .70 percent at June 30, 1999 from 1.23 percent at June 30, 1998 and .79 percent at December 31, 1998. As stated above, the Company's return on average assets was 2.30 percent for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 1.27 percent for the second quarter of 1998. For the first six months of 1999, return on average assets was 2.15 percent compared to 1.19 percent for the comparable six months in 1998. Return on average common equity for the second quarter of 1999 was 22.73 percent, compared to 12.82 percent for the same period in 1998, while ROE for the first six months of 1999 was 21.24 percent compared to 11.96 percent for the first six months of 1998. The Company continued to be well capitalized maintaining a ratio of average shareholders' equity to assets of 10.12 percent during 1999's second quarter. Regency Investment Advisors ("RIA") continued to increase assets under management. At June 30, 1999, RIA's assets under management had increased to $112.2 million from $96.2 million at June 30, 1998. In applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, the Company has determined that it has an operating segment, commercial banking. NET INTEREST INCOME The Company's operating results depend primarily on net interest income (the difference between the interest earned on loans and investments less interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings). A primary factor affecting the level of net interest income is the Company's interest rate margin, the difference between the yield earned on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the difference between the relative amounts of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following tables present, for the periods indicated, the Company's total dollar amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities and the resultant cost, expressed both in dollars and rates. The table also sets forth the net interest income and the net earning balance for the periods indicated. 11 CONSOLIDATED AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS, NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATES FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE YIELD/ AVERAGE YIELD/ (In thousands, except for percentages) BALANCE RATE INTEREST BALANCE RATE INTEREST - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSETS: Interest-earning assets: Loans (1) $ 160,729 10.51% $ 4,210 $ 137,823 11.96% $ 4,111 Investment securities (2) 51,185 6.12% 781 34,140 6.01% 511 Federal funds sold and other 1,097 5.48% 15 5,315 5.49% 72 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets 213,011 9.43% 5,006 177,278 10.62% 4,694 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest-earning assets: Allowance for credit losses (2,639) (2,386) Cash and due from banks 13,104 11,486 Real estate investments -- 1,118 OREO 341 872 Premises and equipment, net 1,386 1,678 Cash surrender value of life insurance 3,235 3,086 Accrued interest receivable and other assets 4,581 4,967 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total average assets $ 233,019 $ 198,099 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIABILITIES and SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: Interest-bearing liabilities: Transaction accounts 55,571 2.14% 297 48,977 2.35% 286 Savings accounts 34,016 3.49% 296 37,849 4.04% 381 Certificates of deposit 55,874 4.86% 677 46,532 5.38% 625 Federal funds purchased and other 12,503 5.49% 171 522 16.48% 21 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities: 157,964 3.66% 1,441 133,880 3.94% 1,313 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest-bearing liabilities: Transaction accounts 48,699 38,342 Other liabilities 2,785 2,164 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities 209,448 174,386 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' equity: Common stock 15,195 15,183 Retained earnings 8,454 3,595 Unrealized gain/loss on investment securities (78) 253 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total shareholders' equity 23,571 19,031 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total average liabilities and shareholders' equity $ 233,019 $ 193,417 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $ 3,565 $ 3,381 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets 9.43% 10.62% Interest expense as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (2.71)% (2.97)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest margin 6.72% 7.65% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Loan amounts include nonaccrual loans, but the related interest income has been included only for the period prior to the loan being placed on a nonaccrual basis.

(2) Applicable nontaxable securities yields have not been calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis. 13 Changes in the interest margin can be attributed to changes in the yield on interest earning assets, the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well as changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following table presents the dollar amount of certain changes in interest income and expense for each major component of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the difference attributable to changes in average rates and volumes for the periods indicated.

(2) Changes calculated on nontaxable securities have not considered tax equivalent effects. Total interest income increased $312,000 or 6.7 percent in the second quarter of 1999 to $5.0 million as compared to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 1998. Interest expense in the second quarter of 1999 increased $128,000 or 9.8 percent to $1.4 million from $1.3 million in 1998. One of the primary reasons for the Company's increased profitability in the second quarter of 1999 was the increase in net interest income. Net interest income for the second quarter of 1999 increased by $184,000 or 5.4 percent. The Company's net interest margin was 6.72 percent in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to 7.65 percent for the second quarter of 1998. The Company's net interest margin was driven higher in 1998 as a result of recoveries of interest from nonperforming loans and a prime rate that was 75 basis points higher in 1998 than in the corresponding period in 1999. Average interest-earning assets increased by $35.7 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $213 million compared to $177.3 million in the second quarter of 1998. For the period between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 growth in average interest-earning assets was paced by growth in average loans of 16.6 percent and growth in average investments of 49.9 percent. Average interest bearing liabilities grew by 18.0 percent between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, with the majority of growth occurring in the Bank's time deposits which experienced an increase of $9.3 million or 20.0 percent. Due to the seasonal decline in deposits experienced in 1999, the Company used FHLB advances and overnight Federal Funds borrowings to support its growth in loans and investments. As a result, the Company averaged $12.5 million in Federal Funds purchased and 14 other borrowings during 1999's second quarter compared to $522,000 in similar borrowings during the comparable period in 1998.

(2) Changes calculated on nontaxable securities have not considered tax equivalent effects. Total interest income increased $925,000 or 10.5 percent in the first six months of 1999 to $9.7 million as compared to $8.8 million for the first six months of 1998. Interest expense in the first six months of 1999 increased $260,000 or 10.0 percent to $2.9 million from $2.6 million in 1998. One of the primary reasons for the Company's increased profitability in the first six months of 1999 was the increase in net interest income. Net interest income for the first six months of 1999 increased by $665,000 or 10.7 percent. The Company's net interest margin was 6.61 percent in the first six months of 1999 as compared to 7.24 percent for the first six months of 1998. The Company's net interest margin was driven higher in 1998 as a result of recoveries of interest from nonperforming loans and a prime rate that was 75 basis points higher in 1998 than in the corresponding period in 1999. Average interest-earning assets increased by $36.8 million in the first six months of 1999 to $210.0 million compared to $173.2 million in the first six months of 1998. For the period between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 growth in average interest-earning assets was paced by growth in average loans of 17.0 percent and growth in average investments of 47.0 percent. Average interest bearing liabilities grew by 18.4 percent between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, with the majority of growth occurring in the Bank's time deposits which experienced an increase of $8.9 million or 19.3 percent. As was true for the Company's second quarter, short term borrowings were significantly higher in the first six months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Average short term borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $10.7 million compared to $1.2 million in the same period of 1998. 15 NONINTEREST INCOME The Company receives a significant portion of its income from noninterest sources related both to activities conducted by the Bank (loan originations, servicing of loans, sale of loans and depositor service charges), as well as from its subsidiary RIA. NONINTEREST INCOME (IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Income: Gain on sale of loans $ 324 $ 207 Depositor service charges 144 118 Income from investment management services 234 229 (Loss) on sale of securities (19) -- Gain on sale of premisis & equipent -- -- Servicing fees on loans sold 3 10 Other 80 112 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Noninterest Income $ 766 $ 676 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest income during the second quarter of 1999 was $766,000 compared to $676,000 for the same period during 1998, an increase of $90,000 or 13.3 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to a $117,000 increase in income from the sale of loans resulting from increased single family mortgage loan production, as well as, the sale of approximately 7.2 million in SBA guaranteed loans. Other noninterest income categories reflecting an increase in the second quarter of 1999 included; depositor service charges, increasing $26,000 or 22.0 percent, primarily as a result of a larger depositor base and, an increase in income from investment management services of $5,000, as a result of increased assets under management. Income from investment management services is generated from the Company's subsidiary, RIA. Revenue from RIA is primarily a result of fees generated from assets under management. At June 30, 1999, RIA's assets under management were $112.2 million, a 12.0 percent increase from assets under management of $100.2 million at June 30, 1998. Assets in client accounts managed by RIA are not reflected in the consolidated assets of the Company. Revenue from RIA's operations increased $5,000 or 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 1999 to $234,000 from $229,000 in the second quarter of 1998. On a stand-alone basis, RIA provided the Company with net income of $37,000 in the second quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During the second quarter, servicing fees on loans sold declined by $7,000, primarily as a result of a smaller servicing portfolio of SBA loans sold. With the additional sale of SBA loans during 1999's second quarter future revenue from servicing should be slightly improved. During the quarter, the Bank chose to sell certain investment securities and reinvest the proceeds in other securities in an effort to improve future earnings. As a result of these sales a loss of $19,000 was recognized during the quarter. 16 NONINTEREST INCOME (IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Income: Gain on sale of loans $ 394 $ 222 Depositor service charges 285 230 Income from investment management services 475 445 (Loss) gain on sale of securities (16) 5 Gain on sale of premisis & equipment 1 -- Servicing fees on loans sold 36 79 Other 164 182 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Noninterest Income $ 1,339 $ 1,163 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $1.34 million compared to $1.16 million for the same period during 1998, an increase of $176,000 or 15.1 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to a $172,000 increase in income from the sale of loans resulting from increased single family mortgage loan production as well as from the sale of approximately $7.2 million of SBA guaranteed loans in the second quarter of 1999. Additionally, depositor service charges increased $55,000, primarily as a result of a larger depositor base, and, an increase in income from investment management services of $30,000 as a result of increased assets under management. On a stand-alone basis, RIA provided the Company with net income of $72,000 and $69,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense reflects the costs of products and services, systems, facilities and personnel for the Company. The major components of other operating expenses stated both as dollars and as a percentage of average assets are as follows: (IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Expense: Salaries and related benefits $ 1,286 $ 1,245 Occupancy 360 379 FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments 11 115 Marketing 77 144 Professional services 143 159 Director's fees and expenses 68 46 Supplies, telephone and postage 74 83 Loss from investments in real estate partnerships -- 221 Other 173 423 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Noninterest Expense $ 2,192 $ 2,815 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest expense decreased by $623,000 or 22.1 percent to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2.8 million during the same period ended June 30, 1998. Categories reflecting a reduction in noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998, included: FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments declining $114,000 as a result of an improved deposit insurance regulatory rating in 1999; professional services declining $16,000 as a result of lower legal and accounting expense; marketing declining $67,000 as a result of a general reduction in advertising expense; loss from 17 investments in real estate partnerships declining $221,000 as a result of the completion of the divestiture of RSC's properties during 1998; and other operating expense declining $250,000 as a result of OREO expense incurred in 1998 with no corresponding expense incurred in 1999. Noninterest expense categories reflecting an increase in 1999 included: salaries and related benefits up $41,000 or 3.3 percent, due primarily to normal increases in salaries paid as well as an increase in full time equivalent employees and director's fees and expenses up $22,000. NONINTEREST EXPENSE (IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Expense: Salaries and related benefits $ 2,593 $ 2,441 Occupancy 715 739 FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments 22 228 Marketing 170 270 Professional services 268 331 Director's fees and expenses 126 99 Supplies, telephone and postage 156 164 (Income)/loss from investments in real estate partnerships -- 214 Other 312 633 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Noninterest Expense $ 4,362 $ 5,119 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest expense decreased by $757,000 or 14.8 percent to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $5.1 million during the same period ended June 30, 1998. Categories reflecting a reduction in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the six months ended June 30, 1998 included: FDIC insurance and regulatory assessments declining $206,000 as a result of an improved deposit insurance regulatory rating in 1999; professional services declining $63,000 as a result of lower legal and accounting expense; marketing declining $100,000 as a result a of a general reduction in advertising expense; and other operating expense declining $321,000 as a result of OREO expense incurred in 1998 with no corresponding expense incurred in 1999. Loss from investments in real estate partnerships declined $214,000 as a result of the completion of the divestiture of RSC's properties during 1998. Noninterest expense categories reflecting an increase in 1999 included: salaries and related benefits up $152,000 due primarily to an increase in overall compensation paid, as well as an increase in full time equivalent employees and director's fees and expenses up $27,000 primarily as a result of interest expense on deferred director's fee balances. There was little change in occupancy expense and supplies, telephone and postage from the previous year. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $229.7 million, an increase of $24.1 million or 11.7 percent from $205.6 million at June 30, 1998 and a decline of $2.3 million from assets of $232 million at December 31, 1998. The slight decline in total assets since December 31, 1998 is a result of a seasonal decline in deposits and is not dissimilar to declines in prior years. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total loans increased $3.8 million or 2.5 percent to $155 million from $151.2 million at December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of growth in the real 18 estate mortgage loan portfolio. Commercial loans increased only slightly between December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, due to the sale of approximately $7.2 million of SBA loans during the second quarter. Investment securities, including non-marketable equity securities, increased $625,000 or 1.3 percent to $48.8 million at June 30, 1999, from $48.2 million at December 31, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's ratio of average earning assets to average total assets was 91.3 percent, compared to 89.2 percent for the comparable period in 1998. Deposits declined during 1999's first six months by $3.8 million or 1.8 percent to $202.8 million from $206.6 million at December 31, 1998. The decline in deposits is typical for the Bank during the first six months of the year and is similar to declines in deposits experienced in prior years. Shareholders' equity increased to $1 million at June 30, 1999 from $22.4 million at December 31, 1998, as a result of an increase in retained earnings. LOANS The three areas in which the Bank has directed virtually all of its lending activities are: (a) commercial loans; (b) real estate loans (including residential construction and mortgage loans); and (c) consumer loans. The Company's loans are primarily made within its defined market area of Fresno and Madera counties. The Bank also maintains a loan production office in Modesto, California. Commercial loans, including SBA and B&I loans, comprised approximately 64.3 percent of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1999, compared to 65.7 percent at December 31, 1998, and 64.9 percent of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1998. These loans are generally made to small and mid-size businesses and professionals. Commercial loans are diversified as to industries and types of business with no material industry concentrations. Most of these loans have floating rates based upon underwriting analysis. The primary source of repayment on most commercial loans is cash flow from the primary business. Additional collateral in the form of real estate, cash, accounts receivable, inventory or other financial instruments is often obtained as a secondary source of repayment. Real estate construction lending comprised 16.4 percent of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1999, compared to 16.7 percent of the Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 1998, and 16.1 percent at June 30, 1998. These loans are primarily made for the construction of single family residential housing. Loans in this category may be made to the home buyer or to the developer. Construction loans are secured by deeds of trust on the primary property. The majority of construction loans have floating rates based upon underwriting analysis. A significant portion of the borrowers' ability to repay these loans is dependent upon the sale of the property, which is affected by, among other factors, the residential real estate market. In this regard, the Company's potential risks include a general decline in the value of the underlying property as well as cost overruns or delays in the sale or completion of a property. Real estate mortgage loans comprised 13.1 percent of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1999, compared to 11 percent at December 31, 1998, and 12.1 percent of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1998. Real estate mortgage loans are made up of non-residential properties and single-family, residential mortgages. The non-residential loans generally are "mini-perm" (medium-term) commercial real estate mortgages with maturities under seven years. The residential mortgages are secured by first trust deeds and have varying maturities. Both types of loans may have either fixed or floating rates. The majority are floating. Risks associated with non-residential loans include the 19 decline in value of commercial property values; economic conditions surrounding commercial real estate properties; and vacancy rates. The repayment of single-family residential mortgage loans is generally dependent upon the income of the borrower from other sources, however, declines in the underlying property value may create risk in these loans. Consumer loans represented the remainder of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1999, comprising 6.2 percent of the loan portfolio compared to 6.6 percent of total loans at December 31, 1998 and 6.9 percent at June 30, 1998. This category includes traditional consumer loans, home equity lines of credit, and Visa card loans. Consumer loans are generally secured by third trust deeds on single-family residences or personal property, while Visa cards are unsecured. RISK ELEMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS The Company assesses and manages credit risk on an ongoing basis through stringent credit review and approval policies, extensive internal monitoring and established formal lending policies. Additionally, the Bank contracts with an outside loan review consultant to periodically grade new loans and to review the existing loan portfolio. Management believes its ability to identify and assess risk and return characteristics of the Company's loan portfolio are critical for profitability and growth. Management strives to continue the historically low level of credit losses by continuing its emphasis on credit quality in the loan approval process, active credit administration and regular monitoring. With this in mind, management has designed and implemented a comprehensive loan review and grading system that functions to continually assess the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Additionally, management believes its ability to manage portfolio credit risk is enhanced by the knowledge of the Bank's service area by the lending personnel and Board of Directors. Generally, loans are secured by various forms of collateral. The loans are expected to be repaid from income of the borrower or with proceeds from the sale of assets securing the loans. The Company's loan policy requires sufficient collateral to meet the Company's relative risk criteria for each borrower. The Company's collateral mainly consists of real estate, cash, accounts receivable, inventory and other financial instruments. The Company either maintains possession of the collateral in safekeeping or perfects a security interest with the State of California. The Company's largest concentration of loans based on collateral is in real estate mortgages, including commercial real estate, and real estate construction lending. A significant portion of its customers' ability to repay these loans is dependent upon the economic sectors of residential real estate development and construction. If a significant decline in real estate property values were to occur in Fresno County, loans associated with these collateral types could become impaired as to their full collectability should default occur. The Company does not believe there to be any concentration of loans in excess of 10 percent of total loans, other than those disclosed above, which would be significantly impacted by economic or other conditions. For further discussion of the impact of California economic conditions upon the loan portfolio, see "Allowance for Credit Losses" below. NONPERFORMING LOANS The Company's current policy is to cease accruing interest when a loan becomes 90-days past due as to principal or interest; when the full, timely collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain; or when a portion of the principal balance has been charged off, unless the loan is well 20 secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and uncollected interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method thereafter, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Generally, a loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or when the loan is both well secured and in process of collection. At June 30, 1999, nonaccrual loans totaled $1.1 million or .70 percent of total loans, compared to $1.2 million or .79 percent at December 31, 1998, and $1.8 million or 1.23 percent at June 30, 1998. Of the nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1999, $847,000 represented the portion of SBA loans that are guaranteed by the SBA. At December 31, 1998, $831,000 of total nonaccrual loans represented the portion of SBA loans guaranteed by the SBA. In addition to the decline in nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned declined by $364,000 to $320,000 at June 30, 1999, from $684,000 at December 31, 1998 and $572,000 at June 30, 1998. The gross interest income that would have been recorded for loans placed on nonaccrual status was $125,000 and $103,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The following table presents information concerning the nonperforming assets for the periods ending June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except percentages) June 30, 1999 December 31, 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming loans $ 1,089 $ 1,197 Other real estate owned 320 684 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming assets 1,409 1,881 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accruing loans 90 days past due 26 16 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans before allowance for credit losses 155,047 151,151 Total assets 229,680 231,967 Allowance for credit losses $ (2,636) $ (2,631) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratios: Nonperforming loans to total loans 0.70% 0.79% Nonperforming assets to: Total loans 0.91% 1.24% Total loans and OREO 0.91% 1.24% Total assets 0.61% 0.81% Allowance for credit losses to total nonperforming assets 187.08% 139.87% Allowance for credit losses to loans 1.70% 1.74% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company's recorded investment in loans for which an impairment has been recognized totaled $1,953,000 and $1,519,000, respectively. These amounts were evaluated for impairment using the fair value of collateral. At June 30, 1999, the SFAS No. 114 allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans was $109,000. The Company uses the cash basis method of income recognition for impaired loans. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company did not recognize any income on such loans. 21 ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses reflects management's judgment as to the level which is considered adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by loan charge-offs net of recoveries. Management determines an appropriate provision based on information currently available to analyze credit loss potential, including: (a) the loan portfolio growth in the period, (b) a comprehensive grading and review of new and existing loans outstanding, (c) actual previous charge-offs, and (d) changes in economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses totaled $2.636 million or 1.70 percent of total loans at June 30, 1999, compared to $2.631 million or 1.74 percent at December 31, 1998. The slight increase is the result of additional provision for credit losses of $125,000 in the first six months of 1999 along with net charge-offs of $120,000. It is the policy of management to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level adequate for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on information currently available to analyze credit loss potential, including economic factors, overall credit quality, historical delinquency and a history of actual charge-offs, management believes that the credit loss provision and allowance is adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged-off in future years can be made with any certainty. Following is a table presenting the activity within the Company's provision for credit losses for the period between December 31, 1998, and June 30, 1999. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (In thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Balance, December 31, 1998 $ 2,631 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Provision charged to expense 125 Loans charged off (141) Recoveries 21 Balance, June 30, 1999 $ 2,636 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DEPOSITS AND SHORT TERM BORROWINGS Deposits represent the Bank's primary source of funds for investment. Deposits are primarily core deposits in that they are demand, savings, and time deposits generated from local businesses and individuals. These sources are considered to be relatively more stable, long-term deposit relationships thereby enhancing steady growth of the deposit base without major fluctuations in overall deposit balances. The Bank normally experiences a seasonal decline in deposits in the first quarter of each year. In order to assist in meeting its funding needs the Bank maintains Fed Funds lines with correspondent banks. During the second quarter, Zions Bank, the major operating subsidiary of Zions Bancorporation, extended a $20 million Federal Funds line to Regency Bank bringing the Bank's total Federal Funds borrowing capacity to $25 million as of June 30, 1999. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB"). At June 30, 1999, the Bank held stock in the FHLB which would allow the Bank to borrow up to $21.1 million using various loans or securities as collateral. In addition to these borrowing methods, the Bank from time to time uses its investment portfolio to raise funds through repurchase agreements. The Bank may, from time to time, obtain additional deposits through the 22 use of brokered time deposits. As of June 30, 1999, the Bank held no institutional brokered time deposits. The following table presents the composition of the deposit mix for the period ending June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands, except percentages) JUNE 30, 1999 DECEMBER 31, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percent of Percent of Amount Total Deposits Amount Total Deposits - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest bearing deposits $ 53,847 26.5% $ 54,236 26.2% Interest bearing deposits: NOW and money market accounts 56,753 28.0% 54,878 26.6% Savings accounts 36,740 18.1% 46,464 22.5% Time deposits: Under $100,000 16,991 8.4% 17,682 8.6% $100,000 and over 38,518 19.0% 33,377 16.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing deposits 149,002 73.5% 152,401 73.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deposits $ 202,849 100.0% $ 206,637 100.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company and Bank are subject to various minimum capital requirements as defined by regulation. The current and projected capital position of the Company and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by Management. The Company's capital position represents the level of capital available to support continued operations and expansion. The Company's primary capital resource is shareholders' equity, which increased $3.6 million or 18 percent from the previous quarter-end and increased $1 million or 4.7 percent from December 31, 1998. The ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 16.65 percent at June 30, 1999, compared to 14.90 percent at June 30, 1998 and 16.14 percent at December 31, 1998. Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets was 15.39 percent at June 30, 1999, compared to 13.64 percent at June 30, 1998 and 14.89 percent at December 31, 1998. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other federal banking agencies have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for evaluating the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are designed to make capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, to take into account off-balance sheet exposures and to aid in making the definition of bank capital uniform internationally. Under the guidelines, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain capital equal to at least 8 percent of its assets and commitments to extend credit, weighted by risk, of which at least 4 percent, must consist primarily of common equity (including retained earnings) and the remainder may consist of subordinated debt, cumulative preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves. Assets, commitments to extend credit and off-balance sheet items are categorized according to risk and certain assets considered to present less risk than other permit maintenance of capital at less than the 8 percent ratio. The guidelines establish two categories of qualifying capital: Tier 1 capital comprising core capital elements and Tier 2 comprising supplementary capital requirements. At least one-half of the required capital must be maintained in the form of Tier 1 capital. Tier 1 capital 23 includes common shareholder's equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock less intangible assets and certain other adjustments. However, no more than 25 percent of the Company's total Tier 1 capital may consist of perpetual preferred stock. The definition of Tier 1 capital for the Bank is the same, except that perpetual preferred stock may be included only if it is noncumulative. Tier 2 capital includes, among other items, limited life (and in the case of banks, cumulative) preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited amount of reserves for credit losses. Effective October 1, 1998, the Board of Governors and other federal bank regulatory agencies approved including in Tier 2 capital up to 45 percent of the pretax net unrealized gains on certain available-for-sale equity securities having readily determinable fair values (i.e. the excess, if any, of fair market value over the book value or historical cost of the investment security). The federal regulatory agencies reserve the right to exclude all or a portion of the unrealized gains upon a determination that the equity securities are not prudently valued. Unrealized gains and losses on other types of assets, such as bank premises and available-for-sale debt securities, are not included in Tier 2 capital, but may be taken into account in the evaluation of overall capital adequacy and net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 capital as a cushion against risk. The Board of Governors and other federal banking agencies have adopted a revised minimum leverage ratio as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. The old rule established a 3 percent minimum leverage standard for well-run banking organizations (bank holding companies and banks) with diversified risk profiles. Banking organizations which did not exhibit such characteristics or had greater risk due to significant growth, among other factors, were required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio 1 percent to 2 percent higher. The old rule did not take into account the implementation of the market risk capital measure set forth in the federal regulatory agency capital adequacy guidelines. The revised leverage ratio establishes a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 3 percent (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for the highest rated bank holding companies and banks or those that have implemented the risk-based capital market risk measure. All other bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4 percent or higher leverage capital ratios are required for bank holding companies and banks that have significant financial and/or operational weaknesses, a high risk profile, or are undergoing or anticipating rapid growth. On December 19, 1991, President Bush signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The Board of Governors and other federal banking agencies adopted regulations effective December 19, 1992, implementing a system of prompt corrective action pursuant to Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Section 131 of the FDICIA. The regulations establish five capital categories with the following characteristics: (1) "Well capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6 percent or greater and a leverage ratio of 5 percent or greater, and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive; (2) "Adequately capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4 percent or greater and a leverage ratio of 4 percent or greater, and the institution does not meet the definition of a "well capitalized" institution; (3) "Undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8 percent , a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4 percent , or a leverage ratio of less than 4 percent ; (4) "Significantly undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6 percent , a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3 percent , or a leverage ratio of less than 3 percent ; (5) "Critically undercapitalized" - 24 consisting of an institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2 percent. Financial institutions classified as undercapitalized or below are subject to various limitations including, among other matters, certain supervisory actions by bank regulatory authorities and restrictions related to (a) growth of assets, (b) payment of interest on subordinated indebtedness, (c) payment of dividends or other capital distributions, and (d) payment of management fees to a parent holding company. The FDICIA requires the bank regulatory authorities to initiate corrective action regarding financial institutions which fail to meet minimum capital requirements. Such action may be taken in order to, among other matters, augment capital and reduce total assets. Critically undercapitalized financial institutions may also be subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator unless the financial institution submits an adequate capitalization plan. The following tables reflect the Company's and Bank's capital amounts, ratios and applicable regulatory capital requirements as June 30, 1999. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of June 30, 1999 To be well (In thousands except percentages) capitalized under For capital prompt corrective Actual adequacy purposes: action provisions: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total capital (to risk weighted assets): Consolidated $23,966 16.65% $11,516 8.00% N/A Regency Bank $21,574 15.00% $11,509 8.00% $14,386 10.00% Tier 1 capital (to risk weighted assets): Consolidated $22,156 15.39% $5,758 4.00% N/A Regency Bank $19,765 13.74% $5,755 4.00% $8,632 6.00% Tier 1 capital (to average assets): Consolidated $22,156 9.59% $9,238 4.00% N/A Regency Bank $19,765 8.55% $9,242 4.00% $11,552 5.00% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The risk-based capital ratios increased in 1999 as the increase in equity outpaced the growth in total assets. Capital ratios are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet the Company's future needs. All ratios are in excess of the regulatory definition of "well capitalized." INFLATION The impact of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from that exerted on manufacturing or other commercial concerns, primarily because its assets and liabilities are largely monetary. In general, inflation primarily affects the Company indirectly through its effect on the ability of its customers to repay loans, or its impact on market rates of interest, and thus the ability of the Bank to attract loan customers. Inflation affects the growth of total assets by increasing the level of loan demand, and potentially adversely affects the Company's capital adequacy because loan growth in inflationary periods may increase more rapidly than capital. Interest rates in particular are significantly affected by inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the 25 changes coincides with changes in the Consumer Price Index, which is one of the indicators used to measure the rate of inflation. Adjustments in interest rates may be delayed because of the possible imposition of regulatory constraints. In addition to its effects on interest rates, inflation directly affects the Company by increasing the Company's operating expenses. The effect of inflation during the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 was not significant to the Company's financial position or results of operations. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE The inability of most computers, software and other equipment utilizing microprocessors to distinguish the year 1900 from the year 2000 poses substantial risks to all financial institutions including the Company. The year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex. Virtually every financial institution service provider and vendor will have their computing operations affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00 if action is not taken to fix the problem before the year 2000 arrives. In 1997, the Company initiated a five-phase plan ("Plan") which includes awareness, assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation. The Company's Year 2000 Plan addresses the issues associated with the proper functioning of the Company's computer hardware and software systems before, at, and after the turn of the century and other date-related systems issues. The scope of the project covers all computer systems including PC and network hardware and software, and mainframe and mainframe software. It also covers all equipment and other systems utilized in the bank operations or in the premises from which the Company operates. The Company is using the Year 2000 milestones established to date by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) to benchmark and gauge its progress. Awareness and Assessment Phases - The Company completed the Awareness and Assessment Phases, as defined by the FFIEC, for its mission critical systems and facilities in 1997 and continues to update its assessment as needed. Non-mission critical systems have also been identified and assessed as to Y2K readiness and plans and timelines for renovation of both mission critical and non-mission critical systems have been prepared. Management of the Company reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its Year 2000 efforts. Renovation Phase - The FFIEC guideline date for institutions to substantially complete program changes and system upgrades for mission critical systems was December 31, 1998. By that date, the Company had completed repairs, upgrades, or replacements of all hardware and software components. In addition to mission critical systems and applications, the Company completed redemption of all non-mission critical systems prior to December 31, 1998. Validation and Implementation Phases - To reduce the possibility of unexpected failure of the Company's systems during and after the century date change, which could have an impact on the Company and its customers, the Company continues to test its systems in accordance with a testing strategy and plan developed in 1998. The FFIEC guideline date for institutions to begin testing their mission critical applications and systems was September 1, 1998. During March 1998, the Company began testing various mission critical and non-mission critical systems. By December 31, 1998, the Company had substantially completed this testing, including both remediated systems and systems presumed to be Year 2000 compliant. As a key part of the validation phase, the 26 computer software that operates the Bank's main customer and accounting system, the "Fiserv CBS System," was thoroughly tested by Fiserv. Fiserv is one of the largest providers of bank computer software nationwide. In addition to Fiserv's efforts, the Bank has conducted additional testing of all components of the software through January 3, 2001, and has detected no Year 2000 problems. All of the systems referred to above have been implemented (i.e., placed into a production environment). All mission critical systems will continue to be monitored and tested throughout 1999 as releases of enhanced software become available. Business Partner Relationships - As part of the Company's Plan, all third party suppliers and service providers have been contacted and assessed as to their Year 2000 preparedness. If their reliability cannot be reasonably assured, alternative vendors, suppliers and other contingency plans have been, or are, being prepared. In addition, the Bank has communicated with its large borrowers and major vendors upon which it relies to determine the extent to which the Company might be vulnerable if those third parties fail to resolve their Year 2000 issues. Borrowers or large deposit customers are being categorized based upon risk and are monitored on a regular basis. If a borrowing customer is determined to have significant Year 2000 exposure that may impair the quality or collectability of its loan, reserves for potential losses resulting from such Year 2000 exposures are established accordingly. Because the Company recognizes that its business and operations could be adversely affected if key business partners fail to achieve timely Year 2000 compliance, the Company is evaluating strategies to manage and mitigate the risk to the Company of their Year 2000 failures. However, although the Company is establishing reasonable safeguards, there can be no assurance that all key business partners will adequately address their Year 2000 issues. Therefore, failures of third parties to adequately address their Year 2000 issues could adversely affect the business and operations of the Company. Contingency Plans - FFIEC guidelines indicate that contingency plans covering mission critical systems in the event of Year 2000 problems are a prudent business practice. The Company has developed high level contingency plans for applications and systems used by the Bank and RIA that are deemed mission critical as well as plans to cover many non-mission critical applications and systems. The contingency, or business resumption plan, is based on a review of various emergency scenarios ranging from the Year 2000 failure of a single software or hardware component to the total loss of systems and applications should large-scale power or communications failures occur. As part of the contingency planning process, the Company has taken, and intends to continue to take, reasonable steps to mitigate foreseeable and significant risks that can be identified should key business partners fail to be Year 2000 compliant. The Bank's contingency planning includes risk management options to insure adequate liquidity availability for the Bank and its customers should the need arise. In addition to the Company being prepared to operate on an independent basis, it is expected that all major software and operating systems will be converted to those used by California Bank & Trust during the fourth quarter of 1999. California Bank & Trust currently has multiple redundant backup sites and their major computing and operating systems have been determined to be Y2K ready. Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues - The majority of costs associated with the Company's Year 2000 preparedness efforts have been associated with the use of existing staff to prepare, test and confirm the components of the plan. In some cases, third parties have been used 27 to assist with planning and testing and certain new software and hardware products have been procured. The majority of these costs would have been incurred in the normal course of business as the Company regularly upgrades its various systems in an effort to more efficiently and effectively serve its clientele and conduct its operations. The Company has incurred costs of approximately $28,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999, related to the use of third party consultants and other extraordinary Year 2000 expenses. The Company does not expect to spend additional sums solely related to Year 2000 issues during the remainder of 1999 as a result of the merger with Zions Bancorporation. It is expected that the Company's data processing systems will be converted to those of California Bank & Trust prior to year-end. Should the Company continue to operate it's existing computer systems through year end any additional costs are anticipated to be minimal and would not have a material impact on the Company's net income for the year. Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK The financial services industry in general and the banking industry specifically encompass various forms and degrees of risk. As the primary source of business, the intermediation of funds presents various degrees and types of risk, which can be managed and controlled, but never completely eliminated. Management of the Company and its Board of Directors have established a framework of policies and procedures to manage risk by identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling the risks involved in the various products and lines of business of the Company. Market risks comprise several of the risk factors encompassed in the Company's risk management policy/program. Market risk is described as the risk to a financial institution's condition resulting from adverse movements in market rates or prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, or equity prices. Further description of these components include: Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates. The economic perspective focuses on a bank's value given the current interest rate environment and sensitivity of that value to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the following: repricing risk differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows; basis risk - changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting bank activities; yield curve risk - changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities; options risk - interest-related options embedded in bank products. The Company manages interest rate risk through a comprehensive asset/liability policy. Price risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from changes in the value of portfolios of financial instruments. This risk arises from market-making, dealing, and position-taking activities for interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity markets. Price risk focuses on the changes in market factors (e.g., interest rates, market liquidity, volatilities, etc.) that affect traded instruments. The primary accounts affected by price risk are the ones revalued for financial presentation. The Company does not engage in trading activities and as a result does not have exposure to price risk due to market-making, dealing, and position-taking activities for interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity markets. Some price risk is inherent in the Company's balance sheet based upon changes in interest rates, market liquidity and 28 volatilities. These risks are managed under the Company's investment policy, and secondarily, by the asset/liability and liquidity policies. Foreign exchange risk a.k.a. transfer risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movement of foreign exchange rates. It arises from accrual accounts denominated in foreign currency, including loans, deposits, and equity investments (i.e., cross-border investing). Under GAAP foreign-denominated accounts are periodically revalued into U.S. dollar terms. This periodic revaluation may reveal changes in the value of the investment related to the relative value of the local currency versus the U.S. dollar. The Company does not engage in foreign exchange trading or cross-border investing and has no foreign exchange exposure as of March 31, 1999. Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from a bank's inability to meet its obligations when they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses, and includes the inability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity risk also arises from a failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect a bank's ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value. The Company manages liquidity risk through the Bank's asset/liability and liquidity policies. ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company's asset/liability management policy is designed to ensure that the Bank is managed to provide adequate liquidity, maintain adequate capital, and provide a satisfactory and consistent level of profits, within suitable interest rate risk constraints. Generally, asset-liability ("A/L") management is a comprehensive integrated process for overall financial management. The major purpose of A/L management is to ensure that the Bank's primary financial objectives; profitability, capital adequacy, risk tolerance, and liquidity are achieved. Through A/L management, the Bank develops a methodology, which can be used to optimize the critical risk/return tradeoff that the institution faces in pricing, maturity selection, funds allocation, and other decisions every day. Doing so will result in earnings which are adequate and consistent, thereby enabling the achievement of profitability and risk objectives. The primary capital objective is capital preservation, which is achieved by controlling interest rate and credit-related risk exposure, and by the retention of ongoing earnings. The Bank will also strive to ensure that each dollar of capital is optimally leveraged. The Bank's A/L management program consists of four major disciplines; interest rate risk management, net interest margin/spread management, capital management, and liquidity management. The formal integration of these inter-related areas into an effective A/L management program that includes a process of planning, organizing, and controlling all of the Bank's financial resources will enable the Bank to achieve a planned net interest margin over time within acceptable risk levels. INTEREST RATE RISK As a financial institution, the Company's most significant market risk factor is interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest 29 earning assets, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Since all of the Company's interest bearing liabilities and virtually all of the Company's interest earning assets are located at the Bank, virtually all of the Company's interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank level. One approach to quantify interest rate risk is to use a simulation model to project changes in net interest income that result from forecast changes in interest rates. The primary analytical tool used by the Company to gauge interest rate sensitivity is a simulation model used by many banks and bank regulators. This industry standard model is used to simulate, based on the current and projected portfolio mix, the effects on net interest income of changes in market interest rates. This analysis calculates the difference between a net interest income forecasted over a 12-month period using a flat interest rate scenario and a net interest income forecast using a rising (or falling) rate scenario, where the National Prime rate, serving as a "driver" is made to rise (or fall) by 200 basis points over the 12-month forecast interval triggering a response in the other rates. According to the Company's policy, the simulated changes in net interest income should always be less the 12.5 percent or steps must be taken to reduce interest rate risk. Various strategies the Bank will use to adjust its exposure to interest rate risk include: lengthen/shorten asset maturities; lengthen/shorten liability maturities; new product introductions; secondary marketing/sell newly originated assets; and growth/contraction (overall). As can be seen from the results of the following interest rate sensitivity analysis matrix, the simulated change in net interest income, based on the 12-month period ending June 30, 2000, fell within the 12.5 percent risk limit. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 month interest rate sensitivity analysis projection as of June 30, 1999 (In thousands, except percentages) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in Projected Net Change Change Driver Rate Interest Income $ % - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.000% 16,545 1,497 9.95% 1.000% 15,795 747 4.96% 0.000% 15,048 -- 0.00% (1.000)% 14,304 (744) (4.95)% (2.000)% 13,562 (1,486) (9.88)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company does not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments to control interest rate risk, even though such activities may be permitted with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND GAP ANALYSIS It is management's objective to maintain stability in the net interest margin in times of fluctuating interest rates by maintaining an appropriate mix of interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Generally, if assets and liabilities do not reprice simultaneously and in equal volumes, the potential for interest rate risk exposure exists. To achieve this goal, the Bank prices the majority of its interest bearing liabilities at variable rates. At the same time, the majority of its interest-earning assets are also priced at variable rates. This pricing structure tends to stabilize the net interest margin percentage achieved by the Bank. The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity and repricing schedule of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate sensitivity gap, the cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap, and the cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio. 30 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap: Immediately After 3 months (In thousands, except percentages) or within but within After 12 months After As of June 30, 1999 3 months 12 months but within 5 years 5 years Total - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest earning assets: Loans (1) $ 103,017 $ 26,017 $ 13,052 $ 10,797 $ 152,883 Interest-bearing deposits at other banks 277 99 396 -- 772 Securities available-for-sale 4,680 6,200 10,430 26,058 47,368 Non-marketable equity securities -- -- 1,416 -- 1,416 Federal funds sold 3,600 -- -- -- 3,600 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets 111,574 32,316 25,294 36,855 206,039 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing transaction accounts 56,753 -- -- -- 56,753 Savings accounts 36,740 -- -- -- 36,740 Time deposits 29,093 20,719 5,876 106 55,794 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 122,586 20,719 5,876 106 149,287 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rate sensitivity gap (11,012) 11,597 19,418 36,749 Cumulative gap $ (11,012) $ 585 $ 20,003 $ 56,752 Cumulative gap percentage to interest earning assets (5.34)% 0.28% 9.71% 27.54% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Amounts exclude nonaccrual loans of $1,089,000. The table indicates the time periods in which interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will mature or reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. The table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the net interest margin since the repricing of various categories of assets and liabilities is subject to competitive pressures. Additionally, this table does not take into consideration changing balances in forward periods as a result of normal amortization, principal paydowns, changes in deposit mix or other such movements of funds as a result of changing interest rate environments. LIQUIDITY Liquidity management refers to the Bank's ability to provide funds on an ongoing basis to meet fluctuations in deposit levels as well as the credit needs and requirements of its clients. Both assets and liabilities contribute to the Bank's liquidity position. Federal Funds lines, short-term investments and securities, and loan repayments contribute to liquidity, along with deposit increases, while loan funding and deposit withdrawals decrease liquidity. The Bank assesses the likelihood of projected funding requirements by reviewing historical funding patterns, current and forecasted economic conditions and individual client funding needs. The Bank maintains lines of credit and other wholesale funding sources as described above. Additionally, the Bank maintains a portfolio of SBA loans either available-for-sale or in its portfolio that could be sold should additional liquidity be required. The Company reflected a decrease in liquidity from its operating activities. Although net income in the first quarter of 1999 provided net cash flows of $2.5 million, other operating activities used $3 million in cash flows for a total of $539,000 in net cash used by operating activities. Financing activities, primarily the decrease of customer deposits, used additional cash flows. Total cash flows used in financing activities were $4.3 million as a result of the decrease in deposits for the first quarter of 1999. The Company uses cash flows to make investments in loans and investment securities. The increase in loans was $154,000 in the first half of 1999, and 31 net cash used in investment transactions was $1.9 million. The Company anticipates increasing its cash levels through the end of 1999 due to expected in creases in deposit accounts and increased profitability and retained earnings. For the same period, it is anticipated that the demand for loans will continue to moderately increase. The growth in deposit balances is expected to be sufficient to fund loan growth with excess funds available for investment in securities. RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS The following table sets forth the ratios of net income to average assets and average shareholders' equity, and average shareholders' equity to average assets. Also indicated is the Company's dividend payout ratio. (For purposes of calculating average Shareholders' equity as used in these ratios, unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio have been included and the percentages shown have been annualized). - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the three months For the six months ended June 30, ended June 30, - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return on average assets 2.30% 1.27% 2.15% 1.19% Return on average shareholders' equity 22.73% 12.82% 21.24% 11.96% Average shareholders' equity to average assets 10.12% 9.93% 10.11% 9.96% Dividend payout ratio 19.61% -- 21.51% -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
