Page 5 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies of First Citizens Bancorporation of South Carolina, Inc. ("Bancorporation") is set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancorporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2001. The significant accounting policies used during the current quarter are unchanged from those disclosed in the 2001 Annual Report. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The preceding consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments comprising normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been recorded. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141") and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives (but with no maximum life). The amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. Bancorporation adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002 which had no material affect. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) In accordance with SFAS 142, no goodwill amortization was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Goodwill amortization expense for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $114 and $57, respectively. At June 30, 2002, the total carrying amount of intangible assets not subject to amortization was $3,217. At June 30, 2002, the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to core deposits and other intangibles was $102,387 and $66,215, respectively. At December 31, 2001, the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to core deposits and other intangibles was $102,362 and $61,930, respectively. At June 30, 2001, the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to core deposits and other intangibles was $98,603 and $57,242, respectively. Amortization expense on core deposits and other intangibles was $4,285 and $4,934 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense on core deposits and other intangibles was $2,106 and $2,462 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be $8,088 for 2002, $7,156 for 2003, $6,304 for 2004, $4,913 for 2005 and $3,253 for 2006. ACQUISITIONS There were no acquisitions during the quarter ending June 30, 2002. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) On July 3, 2002, Bancorporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger with CB Financial Corp. ("CBF"). CBF is a Georgia corporation, which operates as a registered bank holding company and owns all the outstanding shares of common stock of Citizens Bank, an insured, state-chartered Georgia bank headquartered in Warrenton, Georgia. Citizens Bank operates two banking offices in McDuffie and Warren counties. CBF has total deposits and loans of $39,000 and $19,000, respectively, as of June 30, 2002. The merger is expected to be completed during the third or fourth quarter of 2002 pending regulatory and CBF shareholder approvals . On July 15, 2002, First-Citizens Bank and Trust of South Carolina entered into a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement to acquire two branches from an unrelated financial institution with estimated total deposits and loans of $20,000 and $5,000, respectively. The acquisition is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2002 pending regulatory approvals. On July 24, 2002, Bancorporation's Board of Directors declared a $.25 dividend on common stock to shareholders of record on August 2, 2002, payable August 15, 2002. Page 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This discussion may contain statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, which statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of the qualifying words (and their derivatives) such as "expect," believe," "estimate," "plan," "project," "anticipate," or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of Bancorporation and its management about future events. Factors that could influence the accuracy of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of Bancorporations' customers, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates, and general economic conditions. SUMMARY (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $9,853, or $10.66 per common share and $21,022, or $22.73 per common share, respectively. Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $7,492, or $7.97 per common share and $15,897, or $16.91 per common share, respectively. The primary factors affecting the increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were a $4,672 or 15.85% increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, and a $1,298 or 11.39% increase in noninterest income. These favorable changes were partially offset by a $2,419 or 8.17% increase in noninterest expense, and a $1,190 or 31.53% increase in income tax expense. The primary factors affecting the increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were a $10,592 or 18.11% increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, and a $951 or 4.12% increase in noninterest income. These favorable changes were partially offset by a $3,836 or 6.65% increase in noninterest expense, and a $2,582 or 32.24% increase in income tax expense. Return on average stockholders' equity and average assets are key measures of earnings performance. Return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was 13.90% and 11.93%, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in return on assets from .88% to 1.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The increase in return on assets was due to a 31 basis point increase in net interest margin to average assets and a 3 basis point improvement in non-interest margin to average assets. This was offset by an increase of 5 basis points in provision for loan losses to average assets and an increase of 10 basis points in income tax expense to average assets. Return on average stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was 15.13% and 13.04%, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in return on assets from .94% to 1.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively. The increase was due to a 35 basis point increase in net interest margin to average assets. This was offset by an increase of 4 basis points in provision for loan losses to average assets and an increase of 10 basis points in income tax expense to average assets. Net interest income is discussed further in the following section. Page 7

Page 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED) CURRENT QUARTER COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR QUARTER ---------------------------------------------------- Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $5,225 or 16.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001. Net interest margin to average assets increased from 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 4.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This is attributable to a 32 basis point increase in the net interest margin to average interest-earning assets. The mix of interest-earning assets to average total assets remained relatively stable. Net interest margin to average interest-earning assets increased from 4.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 4.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This was attributable to an increase in the net interest spread from 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 4.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The increase in the net interest spread was due to the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the decrease in interest earned on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.51% at June 30, 2002 to 6.26% at June 30, 2001, or 125 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.07% to 2.25%, or 182 basis points. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was due to a decrease in the yields on loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. CURRENT YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD ----------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $11,386 or 18.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001. Net interest margin to average assets increased from 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This is attributable to a 37 basis point increase in the net interest margin to average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin to average interest-earning assets increased from 4.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This was attributable to an increase in the net interest spread from 3.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in the net interest spread was due to the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the decrease in interest earned on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.66% at June 30, 2001 to 6.37% at June 30, 2002, or 129 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.26% to 2.36%, or 190 basis points. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was due to a decrease in the yields on loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) CURRENT QUARTER COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR QUARTER ---------------------------------------------------- Noninterest income increased by $1,298 or 11.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in service charges on deposits, insurance premiums, and commissions and fees from fiduciary activities. Service charges on deposits increased by $1,240 or 19.44% over the comparable period primarily due to overall deposit growth. Insurance premiums earned and commissions and fees from fiduciary activities increased by $219 or 42.61% and $155 or 23.96%, respectively, over the comparable period. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of investment securities of $858. Noninterest expense increased by $2,419 or 8.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, data processing expense and bankcard processing expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $2,153 or 15.68% over the comparable period primarily due to an increase in the number of employees and merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased by $455 or 25.36% over the comparable period due to an increase in depreciation expense. Data processing expense increased $130 or 5.22% over the comparable period due to the on-going growth realized by Bancorporation. Bankcard processing expense increased by $118 or 8.47% over the comparable period due to increased bankcard activity. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangibles of $413 or 16.40% due to the run off of goodwill related to former acquisitions. Overall, the noninterest margin (noninterest income less noninterest expense) to average assets improved from a negative 2.13% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 to a negative 2.10% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This was due to a 2 basis point improvement in non-interest expense to average assets and a 1 basis point improvement in non-interest income to average assets. Page 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE (CONTINUED) CURRENT YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD COMPARED TO PRIOR YEAR-TO-DATE PERIOD ----------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest income increased by $951 or 4.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in service charges on deposits, commissions and fees from fiduciary activities and mortgage servicing fees. Service charges on deposits increased by $2,334 or 19.01% over the comparable period, primarily due to overall deposit growth. Commissions and fees from fiduciary activities and mortgage servicing fees increased $380 or 29.87% and $240 or 21.31%, respectively, over the comparable period. The increase was offset by a decrease in gain on sale of investment securities of $2,651. Noninterest expense increased by $3,836 or 6.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, data processing expense and bankcard processing expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $3,169 or 11.75% over the comparable period primarily due to an increase in the number of employees and merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased by $667 or 18.41% over the comparable period due to an increase in depreciation. Data processing expense increased $573 or 12.49% over the comparable period due to the on-going growth realized by Bancorporation. Bankcard processing expense increased by $191 or 7.10% over the comparable period due to increased bankcard activity. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangibles of $763 or 15.11% over the comparable period due to the run off of goodwill related to former acquisitions. Overall, the noninterest margin (noninterest income less noninterest expense) to average assets remained constant at a negative 2.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001. INCOME TAXES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Total income tax expense increased by $1,190 or 31.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to the increase in net income. Total income tax expense increased by $2,582 or 32.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 over the comparable period in 2001 due to the increase in net income. The effective tax rate was 33.5% at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION INVESTMENT SECURITIES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) As of June 30, 2002, the investment portfolio totaled $954,585, compared to $817,266 at June 30, 2001. The investment portfolio increased as funds were shifted from federal funds sold to the bond portfolio. Bancorporation continues to invest primarily in short-term U.S. government obligations and agency securities to minimize credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. The investment portfolio consisted of 93.07% and 93.16% U.S. government and government agency securities as of June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The remainder of the investment portfolio consists of municipal bonds and equity securities. LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) As of June 30, 2002, loans totaled $2,285,483, compared to $2,159,166 at June 30, 2001, an increase of $126,317, or 5.85%, the result of normal loan growth. Between June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, approximately $209 of loans were acquired from other financial institutions. The composition of the loan portfolio has not shifted significantly since June 30, 2001. Loan growth was funded through core deposits and short-term borrowed funds. Page 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED) It is the policy of Bancorporation to maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the provision taken during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was appropriate to provide an allowance for loan losses which considers the past experience of charge-offs, the level of past due and nonaccrual loans, the size and mix of the loan portfolio, credit classifications and general economic conditions in Bancorporation's market areas. An analysis of activity in the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 is presented below. The allowance for loan losses is maintained through charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan charge-offs and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance for loan losses. AS OF AND FOR THE AS OF AND FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ---------------------- ---------------------- ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance at beginning of period $ 39,722 $ 37,197 $ 40,259 $ 37,001 Provision for loan losses 2,571 1,979 3,461 2,603 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Charge-offs (1,923) (1,094) (3,799) (1,861) Recoveries 370 377 819 716 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net charge-offs (1,553) (717) (2,980) (1,145) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance at end of period $ 40,740 $ 38,459 $ 40,740 $ 38,459 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Nonperforming assets $ 7,591 $ 5,177 $ 7,591 $ 5,177 Annualized net charge-offs to: Average loans .28% .13% .27% .11% Loans at end of period .27% .13% .26% .11% Allowance for loan losses 15.25% 7.46% 14.63% 5.95% FUNDING SOURCES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Bancorporation's primary source of funds is its deposit base. Total deposits increased $218,204 or 7.52% from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Between June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002, approximately $45,330 of deposits were acquired from other financial institutions. Average deposits were $3,089,656 and $2,797,508 at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Short-term borrowings in the form of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are another source of funds. Short-term borrowings increased $12,036 or 6.04% from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Average short-term borrowings were $219,789 and $267,104 at June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. CAPITAL RESOURCES Regulatory agencies define capital as Tier I, consisting of stockholders' equity less ineligible intangible assets, and Total Capital, consisting of Tier I capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and certain long-term debt. Regulatory guidelines require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8 percent, with at least 50 percent consisting of tangible common stockholders' equity and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks which meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 percent, and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered well-capitalized by regulatory standards. The following table details Bancorporation's capital ratios at June 30, 2002 and 2001.
