F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Guaranty Bank & Trust (Guaranty) with and into F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation). The merger, which was consummated on January 13, 1999, resulted in the Corporation issuing 1,250,994 shares of common stock. The transaction has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and such financial statements are presented as if the merger had been consummated for all the periods presented. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 1999. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The Corporation cautions that any forward looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report or made by management of the Corporation, involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based upon various factors. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On October 28, 1999, the Corporation announced that its affiliate, First National Bank of Florida, will acquire Roger Bouchard Insurance Inc., one of the largest independent insurance agencies in Florida. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. On October 12, 1999, the Corporation announced that its affiliate, Regency Finance Company (Regency), will expand its size and geographic scope through the purchase of 11 consumer finance offices in Tennessee and Kentucky. Regency will buy these offices and $34.9 million in net loans from Finance and Mortgage Acceptance Corporation (FMAC), a subsidiary of Farmers & Merchants Bank of Clarksville, Tennessee. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and will not result in any goodwill. On August 20, 1999, the Corporation's lead banking affiliate, First National Bank of Pennsylvania, acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Gelvin, Jackson & Starr, Inc., a northwestern Pennsylvania independent insurance agency for $3.9 million, net of cash received. In connection with this transaction, the Corporation repurchased 160,000 shares of its common stock in the open market, and exchanged such shares as payment for the stock of Gelvin, Jackson & Starr, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, resulting in goodwill of $3.5 million and additional assets and liabilities of $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
On January 13, 1999, the Corporation completed its affiliation with Guaranty Bank & Trust (Guaranty), headquartered in Venice, Florida with assets of $152.8 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Guaranty's common stock was converted into 1.536 shares of the Corporation's common stock. A total of 1,250,994 shares of the Corporation's common stock were issued. On February 12, 1999, Guaranty was merged into an existing subsidiary of the Corporation, West Coast Bank, to form West Coast Guaranty Bank, N.A. Results for prior years are restated to reflect this acquisition as a pooling-of-interests. The following table sets forth separate company financial information for the year ended December 31, 1998 (in thousands): F.N.B. Corporation Guaranty ----------- -------- Net interest income $132,600 $5,313 Net income 31,872 326 The Corporation regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and holds discussions with, various potential acquisition candidates and as a general rule the Corporation publicly announces such acquisitions only after a definitive agreement has been reached. PER SHARE AMOUNTS Per share amounts have been adjusted for common stock dividends, including the 5 percent stock dividend declared on April 26, 1999 and paid on June 1, 1999. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, adjusted for preferred stock dividends declared, by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock from the beginning of the year or date of issuance and the exercise of stock options and warrants. Such adjustments to net income and the weighted average number of shares of common stock are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per share.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SUMMARY Core operating income for the first nine months of 1999 increased to $28.3 million from $27.1 million for the first nine months of 1998. Core operating income consists of net income adjusted for non-recurring items. Basic core earnings per share were $1.39 and $1.33 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, while diluted core earnings per share were $1.34 and $1.28 for those same periods. Non-recurring costs incurred during the first nine months of 1999 included $819,000 of merger related costs, $392,000 for a gain on the sale of a branch and $367,000 for miscellaneous non-recurring costs, all net of tax. During the first nine months of 1998, merger related costs of $3.1 million, net of tax, were incurred. Including these items, net income was $27.5 million and $24.0 million for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.30 and $1.13. Highlights for the first nine months of 1999 include: * A return on average assets of 1.10% and a return on average equity of 13.32%, both based on core operating earnings. * Net interest income increasing by $7.5 million and was supported by a net interest margin of 4.77%, as compared to a net interest margin of 4.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. * An increase in non-interest income of $5.6 million, including a 25.17% increase in service charges and a 35.79% increase in trust income. * A 12.99% increase in average outstanding loans. * Continued strong asset quality.
FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1999 AS COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1998: The following table provides information regarding the average balances and yields and rates on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities (dollars in thousands): Nine Months Ended September 30 1999 1998 -------------------------- ------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate ---------- --------- ---- ---------- -------- ---- ASSETS Interest earning assets: Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 4,734 $ 175 4.93% $ 6,562 $ 265 5.38% Federal funds sold 28,693 1,044 4.80 80,015 3,333 5.49 Securities: Taxable 459,233 21,083 6.14 527,628 24,465 6.20 Non-taxable (1) 80,229 3,659 6.08 85,580 3,849 6.00 Loans (1) (2) 2,555,662 163,455 8.55 2,261,819 153,032 9.05 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Total interest earning assets 3,128,551 189,416 8.09 2,961,604 184,944 8.35 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Cash and due from banks 108,159 97,245 Allowance for loan losses (33,712) (32,082) Premises and equipment 97,790 84,929 Other assets 145,451 77,104 ---------- ---------- $3,446,239 $3,188,800 ========== ========== LIABILITIES Interest bearing liabilities: Deposits: Interest bearing demand $ 466,226 $ 6,738 1.93 $ 508,755 $ 8,195 2.15 Savings 803,352 16,142 2.69 622,816 15,113 3.24 Other time 1,163,872 44,276 5.09 1,198,642 49,109 5.48 Short-term borrowings 221,583 7,561 4.56 128,196 4,989 5.20 Long-term debt 60,048 3,047 6.77 73,942 3,477 6.27 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Total interest bearing liabilities 2,715,081 77,764 3.83 2,532,351 80,883 4.27 ---------- -------- ---------- -------- Non-interest bearing demand deposits 396,133 339,950 Other liabilities 50,660 42,264 ---------- ---------- 3,161,874 2,914,565 ---------- ---------- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY 284,365 274,235 ---------- ---------- $3,446,239 $3,188,800 ========== ========== Net interest earning assets $ 413,470 $ 429,253 ========== ========== Net interest income $111,652 $104,061 ======== ======== Net interest spread 4.26% 4.08% ==== ==== Net interest margin (3) 4.77% 4.70% ==== ==== (1) The amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% adjusted for certain federal tax preferences. (2) Average balance includes non-accrual loans. Loans consist of average total loans less average unearned income. The amount of loan fees included in interest income on loans is immaterial. (3) Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the difference between total interest earned and total interest paid by average interest earning assets.
Net interest income, the Corporation's primary source of earnings, is the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest earning assets, primarily loans and securities, exceed interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. During the first nine months of 1999, net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $111.7 million, representing a 7.29% increase over the first nine months of 1998. Net interest income consisted of interest income of $189.4 million and interest expense of $77.8 million for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $184.9 million and $80.9 million for each, respectively, for the first nine months of 1998. Net interest margin increased to 4.77% at September 30, 1999 from 4.70% at September 30, 1998. The yield on total interest earning assets declined by 26 basis points and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased by 44 basis points. Strong competitive factors along with changes in Federal Reserve Bank policy during 1998 have impacted both the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. As a result of recent interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board, the Corporation has experienced some margin compression. In the event that the interest rates continue to increase, there is a possibility that the compression could continue, as further discussed within the "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity" section of this report. The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes and rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the nine months ending September 30, 1999 as compared to the nine months ending September 30, 1998 (in thousands): Volume Rate Net -------- -------- -------- INTEREST INCOME Interest bearing deposits with banks $ (69) $ (21) $ (90) Federal funds sold (1,914) (375) (2,289) Securities: Taxable (3,111) (271) (3,382) Non-taxable (172) (18) (190) Loans 18,135 (7,712) 10,423 ------- ------- ------- 12,869 (8,397) 4,472 ------- ------- ------- INTEREST EXPENSE Deposits: Interest bearing demand (655) (802) (1,457) Savings 2,483 (1,454) 1,029 Other time (1,399) (3,434) (4,833) Short-term borrowings 3,095 (523) 2,572 Long-term debt (747) 317 (430) ------- ------- ------- 2,777 (5,896) (3,119) ------- ------- ------- NET CHANGE $10,092 $(2,501) $ 7,591 ======= ======= ======= The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes. Interest income on loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased 6.81% from $153.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $163.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was the result of an increase in average loans of 12.99% as the average yield declined by 50 basis points over the same period last year.
Although interest expense on deposits decreased $5.3 million or 7.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998, average deposits increased 5.97% over the same nine month period. The average balance in savings deposits increased $180.5 million, while the average balance in interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits decreased by $42.5 and $34.8, respectively. The average balance in non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $56.2 million. Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased $2.6 million or 51.55% for these same periods due to a $93.4 million increase in average short-term borrowings, which was partially offset by decline in the rate paid of 64 basis points. The provision for loan losses totaled $6.7 million for the first nine months of 1999, as compared to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 1998. The increase in the provision is the result of continued strong loan growth. Non-interest income increased by 23.23% during the first nine months of 1999 as compared to the first nine months of 1998. Service charges and trust fees increased $3.4 million over the first nine months of 1998. In addition, the Corporation's December of 1998 investment in bank owned life insurance provided $2.3 million of other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Lastly, the Corporation recognized a gain of $603,000 resulting from the sale of a branch. Total non-interest expenses increased 9.08% during the first nine months of 1999, compared to the first nine months of 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $5.8 million in salaries and employee benefits. This increase was due to normal annual salary adjustments and continued escalation of certain benefit costs. In addition, salaries and benefits have increased as the Corporation supports the expansion into fee based services and insurance. Included in non-interest expenses during the first nine months of 1999 was $1.3 million in merger related expenses, as compared to $4.1 million in the same period during 1998. The 1999 expenses were primarily data processing termination and conversion costs and change in control provisions while the 1998 expenses were primarily legal and investment banking costs associated with the structuring and completion of various mergers. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $12.6 million, providing an effective tax rate of 31.35% compared to 33.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects the higher level of tax-free income in 1999 over 1998. THIRD QUARTER OF 1999 AS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER OF 1998: During the third quarter of 1999, net interest income increased $3.0 million or 8.59% over the third quarter of 1998. Total interest income increased $2.0 million or 3.18%, primarily the result of an increase in loan volume. Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million or 3.59% during the third quarter of 1999, compared to the same period of 1998, mainly due to a $2.6 million decrease in interest expense on deposits. Over the past twelve months, the Corporation has emphasized low cost deposit growth. The provision for loan losses totaled $2.1 million for the third quarter of 1999, as compared to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 1998.
Non-interest income increased 26.54% during the third quarter of 1999 compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in fee based income and $789,000 of other income provided by the Corporation's investment in bank owned life insurance. Additionally, the Corporation recognized a gain of $603,000 resulting from the sale of a branch. Total non- interest expenses increased 8.39% during the third quarter of 1999, compared to the third quarter of 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $2.5 million in salaries and employee benefits, associated with annual merit increases and additional support needed for the Corporation's expansion into fee based services and insurance. Income tax expense totaled $4.7 million during the quarter providing an effective tax rate of 32.09% compared to 33.01% in 1998. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 1999 reflects the higher level of tax-free income in 1999 over 1998, and higher levels of non-deductible merger related expenses over those same periods. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY The Corporation monitors its liquidity position on an ongoing basis to assure that it is able to meet the need for funds at all times. Given the monetary nature of its assets and liabilities, the Corporation has sufficient sources of funds available to meet its cash needs. Additionally, the Corporation has external sources of funds available should it desire to use them. These include approved lines of credit with several major domestic banks, of which $50.0 million was unused at September 30, 1999. To further meet its liquidity needs, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries also have access to the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as other uncommitted funding sources. The financial performance of the Corporation is subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations. This interest rate risk arises due to differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a specified period, the amount of change in individual interest rates and the embedded options in all financial instruments. The principal objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Corporation. The Corporation uses an asset/liability model to quantify the effects of its balance sheet strategies and their associated risks. Net interest income simulation is the principal tool utilized for these purposes. Gap analysis is employed as a secondary diagnostic measurement. The Corporation attempts to mitigate interest rate risk through asset deployment, asset and liability pricing and matched maturity funding. If interest rates increase gradually by 300 basis points, net interest income would decrease by 1.1% or $1.2 million for 1999 as compared to net interest income if interest rates were unchanged during 1999. Comparatively, a gradual 300 basis point decrease in interest rates to actual 1998 interest rates would have decreased net interest income by 0.9% or $1.1 million in 1998. These low levels of variation are within the Corporation's policy limits. The simulation analyses assumed that savings and checking interest rates have a low correlation to changes in market rates of interest and that certain asset prepayments changed as refinancing incentives evolved. Further, in the event of a change of such a magnitude in interest rates, actions would be taken to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to greater uncertainty of other specific actions that would be taken, the analysis assumed no change in the Corporation's asset/liability composition.
The gap analysis which follows is based on the amortization, maturity or repricing of the Corporation's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Non-maturity deposits have been allocated to represent their lower sensitivity to changes in market interest rates than other adjustable rate instruments. The cumulative gap represents the difference between these assets and liabilities over a specified time period. Based on the cumulative one year gap and assuming no change in asset/liability composition, a decrease in interest rates would be expected to result in slightly lower net interest income. The gap position is within the Corporation's policy limits. Following is the gap analysis as of September 30, 1999 (in thousands): <TABLE> <CAPTION> Within 4-12 1-5 Over 3 Months Months Years 5 years Total --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> INTEREST EARNING ASSETS Interest bearing deposits with banks $ 5,285 $ 5,285 Federal funds sold 3,247 3,247 Mortgage loans held for sale 7,664 7,664 Securities: Available for sale 50,815 $ 128,589 $ 214,408 $ 41,296 435,108 Held to maturity 7,457 13,077 40,295 24,768 85,597 Loans, net of unearned 681,742 539,135 1,173,082 283,413 2,677,372 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 756,210 680,801 1,427,785 349,477 3,214,273 Other assets 326,511 326,511 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 756,210 $ 680,801 $1,427,785 $ 675,988 $3,540,784 ========= ========= ========== ========== ========== INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES Deposits: Interest checking $ 97,555 $ 362,224 $ 459,779 Savings 284,327 508,054 792,381 Time deposits 253,248 $ 568,710 $ 344,025 215 1,166,198 Short-term borrowings 266,655 14,467 281,122 Long-term debt 1,109 6,266 92,110 10,304 109,789 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 902,894 589,443 436,135 880,797 2,809,269 Other liabilities 445,083 445,083 Stockholders' equity 286,432 286,432 --------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 902,894 $ 589,443 $ 436,135 $1,612,312 $3,540,784 ========= ========= ========== ========== ========== PERIOD GAP $(146,684) $ 91,358 $ 991,650 $ (936,324) ========= ========= ========== ========== CUMULATIVE GAP $(146,684) $ (55,326) $ 936,324 ========= ========= ========== CUMULATIVE GAP AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL ASSETS (4.14)% (1.56)% 26.44% ===== ===== ===== RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS/RATE SENSITIVE LIABILITIES (CUMULATIVE) .84 .96 1.49 1.14 ===== ===== ===== ===== </TABLE> CAPITAL RESOURCES The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The Corporation seeks to maintain a strong capital base to support its growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.
Capital management is a continuous process. Since December 31, 1998, stockholders' equity has increased $16.5 million as a result of earnings retention. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the return on average equity, based on core operating earnings, was 13.32%. Core operating earnings exclude merger related costs of $819,000, gain on the sale of a branch of $392,000 and other non-recurring costs of $367,000, each net of tax. Total cash dividends declared represented 40.08% of net income. Book value per common share was $13.93 at September 30, 1999, compared to $13.71 at December 31, 1998. LOANS Following is a summary of loans (dollars in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 1999 1998 ------------- ------------ Real estate: Residential $1,022,430 $ 994,157 Commercial 710,555 632,304 Construction 105,836 103,672 Installment loans to individuals 305,889 292,418 Commercial, financial and agricultural 354,213 299,081 Lease financing 221,701 132,266 Unearned income (43,252) (31,014) ---------- ---------- $2,677,372 $2,422,884 ========== ========== NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate owned. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. It is the Corporation's policy to discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest is reversed. Non- accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid, or the loan becomes both well secured and in the process of collection. Consumer installment loans are generally charged off against the allowance for loan losses upon reaching 90 to 180 days past due, depending on the installment loan type. Restructured loans are loans in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress. Following is a summary of non-performing assets (dollars in thousands): SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 1999 1998 ------------- ------------ Non-performing assets: Non-accrual loans $12,199 $12,250 Restructured loans 1,731 1,770 ------- ------- Total non-performing loans 13,930 14,020 Other real estate owned 3,584 1,370 ------- ------- Total non-performing assets $17,514 $15,390 ======= ======= Asset quality ratios: Non-performing loans as percent of total loans .52% .58% Non-performing assets as percent of total assets .49% .45%
Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Corporation's loan review and work-out process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses are recognized where appropriate. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses includes the evaluation of the loan portfolio based on internally generated loan review reports and the historical loss experience of the remaining balances of the various homogeneous loan pools which comprise the loan portfolio. Specific factors which are evaluated include the previous loan loss experience with the customer, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the loan, the collateral position of the loan, the quality of financial information supplied by the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower. Historical loss experience on the remaining portfolio segments is considered in conjunction with the current status of economic conditions, loan loss trends, delinquency and non-accrual trends, credit administration and concentrations of credit risk. Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------ ----------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance at beginning of period $34,429 $32,203 $32,308 $31,055 Charge-offs (2,868) (1,724) (6,133) (4,779) Recoveries 325 221 1,120 1,048 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net charge-offs (2,543) (1,503) (5,013) (3,731) Provision for loan losses 2,105 1,977 6,696 5,353 ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance at end of period $33,991 $32,677 $33,991 $32,677 ======= ======= ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses to: Total loans, net of unearned income 1.27% 1.39% Non-performing loans 244.01% 265.90% REGULATORY MATTERS Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk- weighted assets (as defined) and of tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1999, that the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries are all "well capitalized".
As of June 30, 1999, the Corporation and each of its banking subsidiaries have been categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Following are capital ratios as of September 30, 1999 for the Corporation (dollars in thousands): Well Capitalized Minimum Capital Actual Requirements Requirements ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----- Total Capital $315,424 12.0% $262,971 10.0% $210,377 8.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 270,604 10.3% 157,783 6.0% 105,188 4.0% (to risk-weighted assets) Tier 1 Capital 270,604 7.9% 171,304 5.0% 137,044 4.0% (to average assets) The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's and banking subsidiaries' capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. YEAR 2000 READINESS The Year 2000 (Y2K) Issue is the result of computer programs being written using year fields consisting of only two digits rather than four. Computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize "00" as the year 1900 rather than year 2000. If such programs were in use and not corrected, it could result in system failures and temporary interruptions in the processing of transactions. The Corporation's core processing systems were written with four digit year fields. The Y2K Issue is not only an internal issue but also affects third parties including customers, counter parties, service providers and vendors. Because the Y2K Issue poses an unprecedented and profound enterprise wide challenge for every organization, the Corporation formed a Y2K Committee. The Y2K Committee developed a Year 2000 Enterprise Wide Project Plan (Y2K Plan), which addresses both internal and external technology. In accordance with the Y2K Plan, the Corporation has completed its inventory and assessment of all internal technologies, including both software and hardware. Each system was assigned a significance rating as to the degree of criticality. Formal detailed tests for systems with significance ratings of a critical nature have been completed. Such systems include core processing and ancillary systems required to sustain operations. During the second quarter of 1998, the Corporation made the strategic decision to convert each of the Florida banking affiliates to a new core processing system. The decision to convert was based in part on the number of different systems being utilized by the Florida banking affiliates and the expiration of the Corporation's primary Florida core processing contract. Each of the Florida banking affiliates have been converted. The Corporation's northern banking affiliates will continue to process transactions on their existing core processing system.
The Corporation has received written representation from both vendors that each system is Y2K compliant as well as third party certification of the vendors' compliance methodology. The Corporation has completed test verifications of each core system. This testing confirmed the vendor representations that both core systems are Y2K compliant. The Corporation has developed a Corporate Business Resumption Contingency Plan (BRC Plan) which identifies the level of customer service management desires in the event of a system failure. The BRC Plan is the model for all financial affiliates use in the development of their specific BRC Plan. The BRC Plan hasalso identified resources and tools to be used for implementation along with a method of plan validation, testing, trigger dates for implementation and training of the personnel who will be exercising the plan. During July of 1998, the Corporation's consumer finance subsidiary, Regency Finance Company (Regency), selected a third party vendor to support all of its future core application requirements. These core applications included loans, insurance and the Corporation's subordinated note program. Regency's decision to select a new system was based upon the system's ability to support new lending products as well as the operating efficiencies resulting from real-time centralized processing. The vendor has provided a written warranty to Regency that it is Y2K compliant. The system was tested for Y2K readiness during the fourth quarter of 1998 and installation was completed on February 28, 1999. With respect to external technology, the Y2K Plan provides for the evaluation and assessment of all significant funds takers, including large borrowing customers and bond issuers, and funds providers, including contingency lines of credit and deposit accounts. All project plans for funds takers and providers have been substantially completed with continued monitoring to occur. An integral part of the Corporation's funds provider project plan includes a Customer Awareness Program. This program was developed to assure customer confidence and mitigate reputation and liquidity risk. The program was not only developed to educate the Corporation's customers, but also its employees in responding to customer inquiries. The Y2K Plan includes due diligence procedures as it relates to the fiduciary responsibilities of the Corporation's investment and trust functions, including such activities as settlement transactions, remittance of bond payments and transactions related to mutual funds and other securities. In performing its fiduciary responsibilities, the Corporation assessed the Y2K readiness of its safekeeping agents and broker/dealers. The Corporation's current assessment of cost associated with the completion of its Y2K Plan is not considered by management to be material to the Corporation's future operations. The cost of completing the Corporation's Y2K Plan and the dates on which all procedures will be completed are based on management's best estimates. These estimates were derived utilizing various assumptions about future events, including the continued availability of resources, external technology modification plans and other significant factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. The Corporation believes that modifications to existing systems, conversion to new systems and vendor compliance upgrades will be resolved on a timely basis and related costs will not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK. The information called for by this item is provided under the caption "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity" under Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Corporation and persons to whom the Corporation may have indemnification obligations, in the normal course of business are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not at the present time anticipate the ultimate aggregate liability, if any arising out of such lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position. At the present time, management is not in a position to determine whether any pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operation in any future reporting period. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES Not applicable ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS Not applicable ITEM 5.
