EXHIBIT 13.2

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis

The following is a discussion of the financial condition of Southern Heritage Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Southern Heritage Bank (the "Bank") at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of our operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which are not otherwise apparent from the audited consolidated financial statements. Reference should be made to those statements and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Forward-Looking Statements

We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and our reports to stockholders. Statements made in the Annual Report, other than those concerning historical information, should be considered forward-looking and subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon management's belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including governmental monetary and fiscal policies, deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values, securities portfolio values, interest rate risk management; the effects of competition in the banking business from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating through the Internet, changes in governmental regulation relating to the banking industry, including regulations relating to branching and acquisitions, failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying delinquent loans and other factors. We caution readers that such factors are not exclusive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by us, or on our behalf.

Overview

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act and the Georgia bank holding company law. On January 4, 1999, we acquired all of the common stock of the Bank. The Bank opened for business on January 4, 1999. Our plan of operations continues to consist primarily of gaining market share in our primary market area of Oakwood, Georgia, Hall County and surrounding counties.

Financial Condition at December 31, 2001 and 2000

As of December 31, 2001, we had total assets of $53.9 million compared to $42.1 million in 2000, an increase of $11.8 million, or 28.0%. The increase in total assets was primarily funded by an increase of $11.1 million in total deposits. Our strategy has been to increase the volume of quality loans through the internal growth in deposits and, when appropriate, through borrowings. In 2001, total loans increased by $14.4 million, or 54.1%. The shortage in funding through deposit growth has been provided from a decrease in federal funds sold of $2.8 million. Federal funds sold are available to fund loan growth and provide us with adequate liquidity for other customer needs. The level of growth for the year ended December 31, 2001, although not unusual, is considered to be a significant accomplishment for our third year of operations. We expect that loan and deposit growth will continue to be strong in 2002.

Our security portfolio, consisting of U.S. government and agency securities, totaled $7.3 million at December 31, 2001. Unrealized gains related to these securities were $144,000 at December 31, 2001 as compared to net unrealized losses of $6,000 at December 31, 2000. The change in the unrealized gains during the year ended December 31, 2001 is reflective of the declining interest rate environment experienced over the past twelve months. All of our securities are held as available-for-sale in order that we may sell securities if needed to fund loan growth. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the net unrealized gains (losses) on these securities are recorded in stockholders' equity until realized.

Seventy-nine percent of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, the majority of which is located in our primary market area of Hall and surrounding counties. Our real estate portfolio consists of loans collateralized by one- to four-

42

<PAGE>

family residential properties (48%) and construction loans to build one- to four-family residential properties (30%). Commercial loans represented 12% of the total loan portfolio and consists of loans to primarily businesses in our primary market area.

The specific economic and credit risks associated with our loan portfolio, especially the real estate portfolio, include, but are not limited to, a general downturn in the economy which could affect unemployment rates in our market area, general real estate market deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, deteriorated or non-existing collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of borrowers, fraud, and any violation of banking protection laws. Construction lending can also present other specific risks to the lender such as whether developers can find builders to buy lots for home construction, whether the builders can obtain financing for the construction, whether the builders can sell the home to a buyer, and whether the buyer can obtain permanent financing. Currently, real estate values and employment trends in our market area are stable with only slight indications of a downturn in the local economy. The overall United States economy has suffered as a result of September 11, 2001; however, our local economy has been only slightly impacted to date.

We attempt to reduce these economic and credit risks not only by adherence to loan to value guidelines, but also by investigating the creditworthiness of the borrower and monitoring the borrower's financial position. Also, we establish and periodically review our lending policies and procedures. Banking regulations limit exposure by prohibiting loan relationships that exceed the lesser of 25% of the Bank's statutory capital, or $1,980,000 at December 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy demands for credit, deposit withdrawals, and other customer needs. Traditional sources of liquidity include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. We achieve our desired liquidity through the management of assets and liabilities and through funds provided by operations. Funds invested in short-term marketable instruments and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from the asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through deposit growth and accessibility to market sources of funds.

Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates and general economic conditions and competition. We attempt to price our deposits to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions.

Our liquidity and capital resources are monitored on a periodic basis by State and Federal regulatory authorities. As determined under guidelines established by those regulatory authorities and internal policy, our liquidity ratio is considered satisfactory.

At December 31, 2001, we had loan commitments outstanding of $9.2 million. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates (usually twelve months or less) and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed, we have the ability on a short-term basis to borrow or purchase federal funds from other financial institutions. At December 31, 2001, the Bank has $4,000,000 in aggregate available through lines of credit with three commercial banks for short-term advances.

43

<PAGE>

Stockholders' equity increased by $521,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 due to the retention of net earnings of $371,000 combined with net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale of $150,000.

The primary source of funds available to the holding company is the payment of dividends by our subsidiary Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of the dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency. Currently, no dividends can be paid by the Bank to the holding company without regulatory approval. We are prohibited from paying dividends until we are cumulatively profitable, and at that time, the payment of dividends will be decided by the Board of Directors based on factors available to them at that time.

At December 31, 2001, our capital ratios were considered well capitalized based on regulatory capital requirements. The minimum capital requirements to be considered well capitalized and the actual capital ratios as of December 31, 2001 are as follows:

</TABLE>

These ratios should continue to decline as asset growth continues, but are expected to remain in excess of the regulatory minimum requirements to be considered well capitalized.

We believe that our liquidity and capital resources are adequate and will meet our foreseeable short and long-term needs as described above. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current customer loan and deposit commitments and to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, our other commitments. At December 31, 2001, we have no material commitments for any capital expenditures.

Except for the expected growth, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations. We are also not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have such an effect.

Effects of Inflation

The impact of inflation on banks differs from its impact on non-financial institutions. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have assets which are primarily monetary in nature and which tend to fluctuate in concert with inflation. A bank can reduce the impact of inflation if it can manage its rate sensitivity gap. This gap represents the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Our asset-liability committee attempts to structure the assets and liabilities and manage the rate sensitivity gap to minimize the potential effects of inflation. For information on the management of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, see the "Asset/Liability Management" section.

</TABLE>

Net Interest Income

Our results of operations are determined by our ability to effectively manage interest income, to minimize loan and security losses, to generate non-interest income, and to control operating expenses. Since interest rates are determined by market forces and economic conditions beyond our control, our ability to generate net interest income is dependent upon our ability to obtain an adequate net interest spread between the rate earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

The net yield on average interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 4.72% as compared to 5.28% in 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the rate earned on average interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities was 8.71% and 5.05%, respectively, which provided a net spread of 3.67%. As indicated in the rate volume analysis which is provided later, the net decline in rates was positively impacted by favorable changes in volume of all categories. These rates and spread were down compared to the year ended December 31, 2000 by 68.44 and 24 basis points, respectively. These declines are attributable to the decline in interest rates during 2001. Average interest-earning assets increased by $12.5 million compared to 2000. During this same period, average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $11.2 million. Although the growth in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were almost even, the net yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 8.71%, or by 68 basis points, while the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by only 44 basis points. This represents a positive interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio as interest-earning assets are repricing at a faster pace than interest-bearing liabilities. The overall improvement in net interest income as noted above, is primarily attributable to the increase in loan volume.

See the interest rates and interest differentials table for specific details.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased by $30,000 to $206,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to 2000. The amount provided during 2001 and 2000 continues to be due primarily to the growth of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.45% and 1.53% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recognized $16,000 in net charge-offs as compared to $35,000 in 2000. Impaired loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $29,000 and $101,000, respectively. All these indicators reflect an improvement in the overall asset quality and loan administration. Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. This evaluation considers past due and classified loans, underlying collateral values, historical experience, and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers' ability to repay.

Other Income

Other income increased by $249,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to December 31, 2000. Mortgage origination fees accounted for 65%, or $267,000 of the total other income for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to only 6% as of December 31, 2000. The significant increase in 2001 is due to the mortgage interest rate decreases in 2001 which triggered significant refinance activity along with normal first-time purchase mortgages. The other primary source of other income is service charges on deposit accounts which increased by $32,000 in 2001.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased by $275,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2000. Other operating expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expenses, and other operating expenses, or $1,113,000, $302,000 and $540,000, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits of $245,000 represented 89% of the total increase in other expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is attributable to an increase of four full-time equivalent employees, increase in profit sharing contributions of $37,000, an increase in incentives of $20,000 and an increase in mortgage commissions of $19,000.

Income Tax

We have not recognized any income tax expense due to remaining net operating losses of $68,000. These net operating losses will be used to offset future income.

Asset/Liability Management

It is our objective to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established cash, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. Certain officers are charged with the responsibility for monitoring policies and procedures that are designed to ensure acceptable composition of the asset/liability mix. It is our overall philosophy to support asset growth primarily through growth of core deposits of all categories made by local individuals, partnerships, and corporations.

46

<PAGE>

Our asset/liability mix is monitored on a regular basis with a report reflecting the interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities being prepared and presented to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The objective of this policy is to monitor interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities so as to minimize the impact of substantial movements in interest rates on earnings. An asset or liability is considered to be interest rate-sensitive if it will reprice or mature within the time period analyzed, usually one year or less. The interest rate-sensitivity gap is the difference between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice within such time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the interest rate-sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. If our assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, the impact of any increase or decrease in interest rates on net interest income would be minimal.

A simple interest rate "gap" analysis by itself may not be an accurate indicator of how net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Accordingly, we also evaluate how the repayment of particular assets and liabilities is impacted by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as "interest rate caps and floors") which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the interest rate gap. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates.

Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates and it is our intention to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position.

At December 31, 2001, our cumulative one year interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio was 91%. Our targeted ratio is 80% to 120% in this time horizon. This indicates that our interest-bearing assets will reprice during this period at a rate faster than our interest-earning liabilities. We are within our targeted parameters.

The following table sets forth the distribution of the repricing of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of December 31, 2001, the interest rate-sensitivity gap, the cumulative interest rate-sensitivity gap, the interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio and the cumulative interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio. The table also sets forth the time periods in which earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will mature or may reprice in accordance with their contractual terms.

47

<PAGE>

However, 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 and the needs of our customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may in fact, reprice at different times within such period and at different rates.

Rate and Volume Analysis

The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected our interest income and expense during the year indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) change in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate); (2) change in rate (change in rate multiplied by old volume); and (3) a combination of change in rate and change in volume. The changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately on a consistent basis to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

</TABLE>

It is our policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income when, in our opinion, collection of such interest becomes doubtful. This status is accorded such interest when (1) there is a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest is not expected and (2) the principal or interest is more than ninety days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection.

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention that have not been included in the table above do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which we reasonably expect will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources. These classified loans do not represent material credits about which we are aware of any information which causes us to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

The following table summarizes average loan balances for the year determined using the daily average balances during the year; changes in the allowance for loan losses arising from loans charged off and recoveries on loans previously charged off; additions to the allowance which have been charged to operating expense; and the ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that adequately covers all known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation of the loan portfolio includes a periodic review of loan loss experience, current economic conditions which may affect the borrower's ability to pay and the underlying collateral value of the loans.

As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, we had made no allocations of our allowance for loan losses to specific categories of loans. Based on our best estimate, the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to types of loans, as of the indicated dates, is as follows:
