DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE Portions of the Registrant's Proxy Statement in connection with its 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Part III). PART I Item 1. Business. General Community Capital Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company headquartered in Greenwood, South Carolina. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of South Carolina on April 8, 1988 as a holding company for Greenwood Bank & Trust (the "Greenwood Bank") which opened in 1989. The Company was formed principally in response to perceived opportunities resulting from takeovers of several South Carolina-based banks by large southeastern regional bank holding companies. In many cases, when these consolidations occur, local boards of directors are dissolved and local management is relocated or terminated. The Company believes this situation creates favorable opportunities for new community banks with local management and local directors. Management believes that such banks can be successful in attracting individuals and small to medium-sized businesses as customers who wish to conduct business with a locally owned and managed institution that demonstrates an active interest in their business and personal financial affairs. In 1994, the Company made the strategic decision to expand beyond the Greenwood County area by creating an organization of independently managed community banks that serve their respective local markets, but which share a common vision and benefit from the strength, resources and economies of a larger institution. In 1995, the Company opened Clemson Bank & Trust in Clemson, South Carolina (the "Clemson Bank"). In 1997, the Company opened Community Bank & Trust in Barnwell, South Carolina (formerly the Bank of Barnwell County, the "Barnwell Bank"), The Bank in Belton, South Carolina (formerly the Bank of Belton, the "Belton Bank"), and Mid State Bank in Newberry, South Carolina (formerly the Bank of Newberry County, the "Newberry Bank"). During 2000, each of these five community banks (collectively, the "Banks") operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and engaged in a general commercial banking business, emphasizing the banking needs of individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in each Bank's primary service area. Each of the Banks was a state chartered Federal Reserve member bank. On January 1, 2001, the Company merged the five Banks into one bank known as CapitalBank. Market Areas At December 31, 2001, CapitalBank had banking locations in Greenwood, Clemson, Abbeville, Belton, Honea Path, Anderson, Newberry, and Saluda, South Carolina. The following table sets forth certain information concerning CapitalBank at December 31, 2001: Number of Total Total Total Locations Assets Loans Deposits --------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in thousands) CapitalBank.................. 12 $399,899 $250,526 $258,846 CapitalBank offers a full range of commercial banking services, including checking and savings accounts, NOW accounts, IRA accounts, and other savings and time deposits of various types ranging from money markets to long-term certificates of deposit. CapitalBank also offers a full range of consumer credit and short-term and intermediate-term commercial and personal loans. CapitalBank conducts residential mortgage loan origination activities pursuant to which mortgage loans are sold to investors in the secondary markets. Servicing of such loans is not retained by CapitalBank. CapitalBank also offers trust and related fiduciary services. Discount securities brokerage services are available through a third-party brokerage service which has contracted with CapitalBank. 2 Lending Activities General. Through CapitalBank, the Company offers a range of lending services, including real estate, consumer, and commercial loans, to individuals and small business and other organizations that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their business in CapitalBank's market areas. The Company's total loans at December 31, 2001, were $252 million, or 80.12% of total earning assets. The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk, maturity, and amount of the loan, and are further subject to competitive pressures, availability of funds, and government regulations. The Company has no foreign loans or loans for highly leveraged transactions. The Company's primary focus has been on commercial and installment lending to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in its market areas, as well as residential mortgage loans. These loans totaled approximately $252 million, and constituted approximately 80.12% of the Company's loan portfolio, at December 31, 2001. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2001. Loan Composition (Dollars in thousands)

---------- (1) The majority of these loans are made to operating businesses where real property has been taken as additional collateral. Loan Approval. Certain credit risks are inherent in the loan making process. These include prepayment risks, risks resulting from uncertainties in the future value of collateral, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, and risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers. In particular, longer maturities increase the risk that economic conditions will change and adversely affect collectibility. The Company attempts to minimize loan losses through various means and uses standardized underwriting criteria. During 2001, these means included the use of policies and procedures that impose officer and customer lending limits and require loans in excess of certain limits to be approved by the Board of Directors of CapitalBank. Loan Review. The Company has a continuous loan review process designed to promote early identification of credit quality problems. All loan officers are charged with the responsibility of reviewing all past due loans in their respective portfolios. CapitalBank establishes watch lists of potential problem loans. Deposits The principal sources of funds for CapitalBank are core deposits, consisting of demand deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts, saving deposits, and certificates of deposit. Transaction accounts include checking and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts that customers use for cash management and that provide CapitalBank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities, as well as a low-cost source of funds. Time and savings accounts also provide a relatively stable source of funding. The largest source of funds for CapitalBank is certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 are held primarily by 3 customers in CapitalBank's market areas. Deposit rates are set weekly by senior management of CapitalBank, subject to approval by management of the Company. Management believes that the rates CapitalBank offers are competitive with other institutions in CapitalBank's market areas. Competition CapitalBank generally competes with other financial institutions through the selection of banking products and services offered, the pricing of services, the level of service provided, the convenience and availability of services, and the degree of expertise and the personal manner in which services are offered. South Carolina law permits statewide branching by banks and savings institutions, and many financial institutions in the state have branch networks. Consequently, commercial banking in South Carolina is highly competitive. South Carolina law also permits regional interstate banking whereby out-of-state banks and bank holding companies are allowed to acquire and merge with South Carolina banks and bank holding companies, as long as the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions gives prior approval for the acquisition or merger. Many large banking organizations currently operate in the market areas of CapitalBank, several of which are controlled by out-of-state ownership. In addition, competition between commercial banks and thrift institutions (savings institutions and credit unions) has been intensified significantly by the elimination of many previous distinctions between the various types of financial institutions and the expanded powers and increased activity of thrift institutions in areas of banking that previously had been the sole domain of commercial banks. Recent legislation, together with other regulatory changes by the primary regulators of the various financial institutions, has resulted in the almost total elimination of practical distinctions between a commercial bank and a thrift institution. Consequently, competition among financial institutions of all types is largely unlimited with respect to legal ability and authority to provide most financial services. See "Government Supervision and Regulation." CapitalBank faces increased competition from both federally-chartered and state-chartered financial and thrift institutions, as well as credit unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and other institutions in CapitalBank's market areas. Some of these competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction imposed upon CapitalBank. Many of these competitors also have broader geographic markets and substantially greater resources and lending limits than CapitalBank and offer certain services that CapitalBank does not currently provide. In addition, many of these competitors have numerous branch offices located throughout the extended market areas of CapitalBank that the Company believes may provide these competitors with an advantage in geographic convenience that CapitalBank does not have at present. Such competitors may also be in a position to make more effective use of media advertising, support services, and electronic technology than can CapitalBank. Employees The Company and CapitalBank currently have in the aggregate 131 full-time employees and 21 part-time employees. Government Supervision and Regulation General The Company and CapitalBank are subject to an extensive collection of state and federal banking laws and regulations that impose specific requirements and restrictions on, and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to, virtually all aspects of the Company's and CapitalBank's operations. These regulations are generally intended to provide protections for CapitalBank's depositors and borrowers, rather than for shareholders of the Company. The Company and CapitalBank are also affected by government monetary policy and by regulatory measures affecting the banking industry in general. The actions of the Federal Reserve System affect the money supply and, in general, CapitalBank's lending abilities in increasing or decreasing the cost and availability of funds to CapitalBank. Additionally, the Federal Reserve System regulates the availability of bank credit in order to combat recession and curb inflationary pressures in the economy by open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, changes in the reserve 4 requirements against bank deposits and limitations on interest rates which banks may pay on time and savings deposits. The following is a brief summary of certain statutes, rules and regulations affecting the Company and CapitalBank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to the business of the Company and CapitalBank. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of the Company and CapitalBank. The Company The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"), and the South Carolina Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1996, as amended (the "South Carolina Act"). The Company is registered with both the Federal Reserve System and the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions (the "State Board"). The Company is required to file with both of these agencies annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries. It is also subject to the supervision of, and to regular examinations by, these agencies. The regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject also set forth various conditions regarding the eligibility and qualifications of its directors and officers. The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before (i) it or any of its subsidiaries (other than a bank) acquires substantially all of the assets of any bank, (ii) it acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank, or (iii) it merges or consolidates with any other bank holding company. Under the South Carolina Act, it is unlawful without the prior approval of the State Board for any South Carolina bank holding company (i) to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or any other bank holding company, (ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a bank or any other bank holding company, or (iii) to merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. The BHCA and the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve Board's approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions for certain transactions. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in, nonbanking activities, unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found those activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of a bank holding company include making or servicing loans and certain types of leases, engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities, performing certain data processing services, acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser, owning savings associations and making investments in certain corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare. In determining whether an activity is so closely related to banking as to be permissible for bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider whether the performance of the particular activities by a bank holding company or its subsidiaries can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition and gains in efficiency that outweigh possible adverse effects such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interests and unsound banking practices. Generally, bank holding companies are required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to engage in any new activity not previously approved by the Federal Reserve Board. Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve Board may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that the holding company's continued 5 ownership, activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any of its bank subsidiaries. The BHCA and the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve Board's approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve Board and not disapproved prior to any person or company acquiring control of a bank holding company, such as the Company, subject to certain exemptions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist when an individual or company acquires 25 percent or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10 percent or more, but less than 25 percent, of any class of voting securities and either the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The Federal Reserve Board, pursuant to regulation and published policy statements, has maintained that a bank holding company must serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks. In adhering to the Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company may be required to provide financial support to a subsidiary bank at a time when, absent such Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company may not deem it advisable to provide such assistance. Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve Board may also require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary, other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank, upon the Federal Reserve Board's determination that the activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution's financial condition. CapitalBank CapitalBank is subject to various statutory requirements and rules and regulations promulgated and enforced primarily by the State Board, the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC. The State Board and the FDIC regulate or monitor all areas of CapitalBank's operations, including security devices and procedures, adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves, loans, investments, borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuances of securities, payment of dividends, interest rates payable on deposits, interest rates or fees chargeable on loans, establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance of books and records, and adequacy of staff training to carry on safe lending and deposit gathering practices. The Federal Reserve System and the FDIC also require CapitalBank to maintain certain capital ratios (see "Federal Capital Regulations"), and the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act require CapitalBank to observe certain restrictions on any extensions of credit to the Company, or with certain exceptions, other affiliates, on investments in the stock or other securities of other banks, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral on loans to any borrower. In addition, CapitalBank is prohibited from engaging in certain "tie-in" or "tying" arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, or the providing of any property or service. Tying is generally defined as any arrangement in which a bank requires a customer who wants one service, such as credit, to buy other products or services from the bank or its affiliates as a condition of receiving the first service. The regulatory requirements to which CapitalBank is subject also set forth various conditions regarding the eligibility and qualification of their directors and officers. Dividends Although the Company is not presently subject to any direct legal or regulatory restrictions on dividends (other than the South Carolina state business corporation law requirements that dividends may be paid only if such payment would not render the Company insolvent or unable to meet its obligations as they come due), the Company's ability to pay cash dividends will depend primarily upon the amount of dividends paid by CapitalBank and any other subsequently acquired entities. CapitalBank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, including the prohibition of payment of dividends from CapitalBank's capital. All dividends of CapitalBank must be paid out of the respective undivided profits then on hand, after deducting expenses, including losses and bad debts. 6 In addition, as a member of the Federal Reserve System, CapitalBank is prohibited from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until its surplus equals its stated capital, unless there has been transferred to surplus no less than one-tenth of such bank's net profits of the preceding two consecutive half-year periods (in the case of an annual dividend) and the approval of the Federal Reserve Board is required if the total of all dividends declared by any CapitalBank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net profits for that year combined with that Bank's retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. CapitalBank is subject to various other federal and state regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends. FIRREA The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") established two insurance funds under the jurisdiction of the FDIC: the Savings Association Fund and the Bank Insurance Fund (see "FDIC Regulations"). FIRREA also imposed, with certain exceptions, a "cross guaranty" on the part of commonly controlled depository institutions such as CapitalBank. Under this provision, if one depository institution subsidiary of a multi-bank holding company fails or requires FDIC assistance, the FDIC may assess a commonly controlled depository institution for the estimated losses suffered by the FDIC. The FDIC's claim is junior to the claims of nonaffiliated depositors, holders of secured liabilities, general creditors and subordinated creditors but is superior to the claims of shareholders. FDIC Regulations The FDIC establishes rates for the payment of premiums by federally insured banks and thrifts for deposit insurance. Deposits in CapitalBank are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum amount (generally $100,000 per depositor, subject to aggregation rules), and the FDIC maintains an insurance fund for commercial banks with insurance premiums from the industry used to offset losses from insurance payouts when banks fail. CapitalBank pays premiums to the FDIC on their deposits. Under FDIC rules, a depository institution pays to the FDIC a premium of from $0.00 to $0.31 per $100 of insured deposits depending on its capital levels and risk profile, as determined by its primary federal regulator on a semi-annual basis. Federal Capital Regulations In an effort to achieve a measure of capital adequacy that is more sensitive to the individual risk profiles of financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and other federal banking agencies have adopted risk-based capital adequacy guidelines for banking organizations insured by the FDIC, including CapitalBank. The capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board are applied to bank holding companies, such as the Company, on a consolidated basis with the banks owned by the holding company. These guidelines redefine traditional capital ratios to take into account assessments of risks related to each balance sheet category, as well as off-balance sheet financing activities. The guidelines define a two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying preferred shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of mandatory convertible, subordinated and other qualifying term debt, preferred stock not qualifying for Tier 1, and a limited allowance for credit losses up to a designated percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the guidelines, institutions must maintain a specified minimum ratio of "qualifying" capital to risk-weighted assets. At least 50% of an institution's qualifying capital must be "core" or "Tier 1" capital, and the balance may be "supplementary" or "Tier 2" capital. The guidelines imposed on the Company and CapitalBank include a minimum leverage ratio standard of capital adequacy. The leverage standard requires top-rated institutions to maintain a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio of 3%, with institutions receiving less than the highest rating required to maintain a minimum ratio of 4% or greater, based upon their particular circumstances and risk profiles. Each of the Company's and CapitalBank's leverage and risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2001, exceeded their respective fully phased-in minimum requirements. Other Regulations Interest and certain other charges collected or contracted for by CapitalBank is subject to state usury laws and certain federal laws concerning interest rates. CapitalBank's loan operations are also subject to certain federal laws 7 applicable to credit transactions, such as the federal Truth-In-Lending Act governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers, the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 requiring financial institutions to meet their obligations to provide for the total credit needs of the communities they serve, including investing their assets in loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligations to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit, the Fair Credit Reporting Act governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies, and the rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. The deposit operations of CapitalBank also are subject to the Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records, and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve Board to implement that Act, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services. Interstate and Intrastate Banking and Branching Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "1994 Act"), eligible bank holding companies in any state are permitted, with Federal Reserve Board approval, to acquire banking organizations in any other state. As such, all existing regional compacts and substantially all regional limitations on interstate acquisitions of banking organizations have been eliminated. The 1994 Act also removed substantially all of the existing prohibitions on interstate branching by banks. A bank operating in any state is now entitled to establish one or more branches within any other state without, as formerly required, the establishment of a separate banking structure within the other state. The South Carolina Act permits the acquisition of South Carolina banks and bank holding companies by, and mergers with, out-of-state banks and bank holding companies with the prior approval of the State Board. The South Carolina Act also permits South Carolina state banks, with prior approval of the State Board, to operate branches outside the State of South Carolina. Although the 1994 Act has the potential to increase the number of competitors in the marketplace of CapitalBank, the Company cannot predict the actual impact of such legislation on the competitive position of CapitalBank. Gramm-Leach Bliley Act The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (popularly referred to as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 prior to enactment) (the "GLB Act") became effective March 11, 2000. The GLB Act accomplished a variety of purposes, including facilitating the affiliation among banks, securities firms, and insurance companies and providing privacy protections for customers. Specifically, the GLB Act (a) amends the Banking Act of 1933 (the Glass-Steagall Act) to repeal the prohibitions against affiliation of any Federal Reserve member bank, such as CapitalBank, with an entity engaged principally in securities activities, and to repeal the prohibitions against simultaneous service by any officer, director, or employee of a securities firm as an officer, director, or employee of any member bank; (b) amends the BHCA to permit bank holding companies to own shares in non-banking organizations whose activities have been determined by the Federal Reserve System to be permissible for bank holding companies; (c) creates a new type of bank, wholesale financial institutions (also referred to as "woofies"), which are regulated by the BHCA and are not able to accept insured deposits, potentially giving holding companies with woofies greater flexibility to engage in non-financial investments; (d) subject to specified exemptions, pre-empts state anti-affiliation laws restricting transactions among insured depository institutions, wholesale financial institutions, insurance concerns, and national banks; (e) amends the BHCA and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to mandate public meetings concerning proposed large bank mergers and acquisitions; (f) amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to mandate certain fee disclosures related to electronic fund transfer services; and (g) imposes certain obligations on financial institutions to protect the privacy and confidentiality of customer nonpublic personal information, including the requirements that financial institutions establish standards for safeguards to protect privacy and confidentiality, provide the standards to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually during the continuation of the relationship, condition disclosure of the private information to nonaffiliated third parties on the 8 giving of specific disclosures to consumers and giving consumers the opportunity to prevent such disclosure to third parties. Although the GLB Act has the potential to mix commerce and banking and increase the Company's and CapitalBank's abilities to diversify into a variety of areas, the Company cannot predict the actual impact of such legislation on the Company or CapitalBank. Advisory Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain of the statements contained in this PART I, Item 1 (Business) and in PART II, Item 7 (Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions readers of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company's management believes that their expectations of future performance are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of their knowledge of their business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from their expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among other things, the challenges, costs and complications associated with the continued development of CapitalBank; the ability of the Company to effectively integrate and staff the operations of CapitalBank as well as the operations allocated to the base of deposits acquired in connection with branch acquisitions; the ability of the Company to retain and deploy in a timely manner the cash associated with branch acquisitions into assets with satisfactory yields and credit risk profiles; the potential that loan charge-offs may exceed the allowance for loan losses or that such allowance will be increased as a result of factors beyond the control of the Company; the Company's dependence on senior management; competition from existing financial institutions operating in the Company's market areas as well as the entry into such areas of new competitors with greater resources, broader branch networks and more comprehensive services; the potential adverse impact on net income of rapidly declining interest rates; adverse changes in the general economic conditions in the geographic markets served by the Company; the challenges and uncertainties in the implementation of the Company's expansion and development strategies; the potential negative effects of future legislation affecting financial institutions; and other factors described in this report and in other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Item 2. Properties. The Company operates out of an approximately 3,000 square foot building located on approximately one acre of land leased from a third party in Greenwood, South Carolina. At December 31, 2001, CapitalBank operated twelve full service branches in South Carolina, three of which are located in Greenwood, two of which are located in Belton, and one of which is located in each of Anderson, Newberry, Clemson, Saluda, Prosperity, Honea Path, and Calhoun Falls. Of CapitalBank's branches, seven are located on land owned by CapitalBank, four are located on land owned by the Company and leased to CapitalBank, and one is located on land CapitalBank leases from a former director of the Company. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The Company and CapitalBank are parties to legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. None of these proceedings is expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. 9 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters not declared or distributed any cash dividends to its shareholders since its organization in 1988. On September The common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") is listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "CYL". The following table reflects the high and low sales price per share for the Common Stock reported on the American Stock Exchange for the periods indicated. Year Quarter High Low 2001 Fourth.................. $11.24 $10.25 Third................... 11.50 9.45 Second.................. 10.10 8.10 First................... 8.75 5.38 2000 Fourth.................. $ 6.88 $ 4.75 Third................... 7.25 6.06 Second.................. 7.50 6.00 First................... 8.75 6.00 As of March 25, 2002, there were 3,313,368 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by approximately 1,200 shareholders of record. On September 17, 2001 and on December 10, 2001, the Company paid cash dividends to its shareholders of record as of August 31, 2001, and November 19, 2001 respectively, at $0.03 per share. Prior to such dividends, the Company had not declared or distributed any cash dividends to its shareholders since its organization in 1988. The Board of Directors of the Company expects comparable dividends to be paid to the shareholders of the Company for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the future dividend policy of the Company is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, and general business conditions. The Company's ability to distribute cash dividends will depend entirely upon CapitalBank's ability to distribute dividends to the Company. As a state bank, CapitalBank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends each is permitted to pay. In particular, CapitalBank must receive the approval of the State Board prior to paying dividends to the Company. Furthermore, neither CapitalBank nor the Company may declare or pay a cash dividend on any of their capital stock if they are insolvent or if the payment of the dividend would render them insolvent or unable to pay their obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business. See "Government Supervision and Regulation -- Dividends." Item 6.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the preceding "Selected Financial Data" and the Company's Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The financial information provided below has been rounded in order to simplify its presentation. However, the ratios and percentages provided below are calculated using the detailed financial information contained in the Financial Statements, the Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Annual Report. General Community Capital Corporation (the "Company") serves as a bank holding company for CapitalBank (the "Bank"). The Bank was formed on January 1, 2001 during a restructuring that consolidated the company's operations into a single subsidiary. CapitalBank operates twelve branches throughout South Carolina. The Bank offers a full range of banking services, including a wealth management group featuring a wide array of financial services, with personalized attention, local decision making and strong emphasis on the needs of individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. The Company was formed in 1988 to serve as a holding company for Greenwood National Bank, which later changed its name to Greenwood Bank & Trust (the "Greenwood Bank"). In 1994 the Company made the decision to expand beyond Greenwood County by creating an organization of independent banks in four additional markets. In June 1995, the Company opened Clemson Bank and Trust (the "Clemson Bank") in Clemson, South Carolina. In 1996 and 1997, the Company opened Community Bank and Trust (the "Barnwell Bank"), The Bank (the "Belton Bank"), and Mid State Bank (the "Newberry Bank"). The Company formed a separate trust organization in 1997 known as Community Trust Company. In May 2000, Community Trust Company was sold. During 1997 and 1998, the Company also acquired several Carolina First branches. As discussed, on January 1, 2001, the Company merged the five subsidiary banks into one bank charter known as CapitalBank. The Company made the decision to restructure the organization into one bank in order to improve operational efficiencies, provide new opportunities for employees, and improve service to customers. Customers will receive the benefit of being able to transact business at any of CapitalBank's branches, through the ATM network, and through the internet banking products. Additionally, management believes that the new centralized credit function will provide additional controlled decisions while streamlining the credit process. Centralized deposit pricing will support management's strategy from market to market. It is believed that the name recognition will be enhanced. On January 29, 2001, CapitalBank, the new bank subsidiary, announced that it had signed a definitive agreement with Enterprise Bank of South Carolina to sell its five branch offices located in Barnwell, Blackville, Williston, Springfield and Salley, South Carolina. On May 14, 2001, CapitalBank sold the five branches, which had approximately $67.1 million in deposits. 12 Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2001, compared with year ended December 31, 2000 Net interest income increased $200,000, or 1.53%, to $13.3 million in 2001 from $13.1 million in 2000. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in net interest margin. Average earning assets decreased $18.9 million, or 5.19%, and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $23.7 million, or 7.17%, due primarily to the sale of the five branches. The Company's tax equivalent net interest spread and tax equivalent net interest margin were 3.58% and 4.08%, respectively, in 2001 compared to 3.36% and 3.83% in 2000. The increase in the net interest spread was primarily the result of the decrease in yields on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund loans and securities. Yields on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.03% in 2000 to 4.46% in 2001. Yields on interest-earning assets decreased 35 basis points; however, yields on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 57 basis points. The provision for loan losses was $1.9 million in 2001 compared to $471,000 in 2000. The significant amount charged to the provision in 2001 was primarily the result of management's efforts to fund the allowance for potential problem loans and to protect against a deteriorating economy. The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.63% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2001. In addition, the provision was funded to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Noninterest income increased $6.8 million, or 206.06%, to $10.1 million in 2001 from $3.3 million in 2000, which was primarily attributable to the premium on the branches sold to Enterprise Bank. The premium totaled $5.8 million. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $422,000 or 24.74% to $2.1 million in 2001. Residential mortgage origination fees increased $319,000, or 63.41% to $822,000 in 2001. Noninterest income in 2001 included $290,000 from the gain on sales of nonmarketable equity securities as compared to no gains in 2000. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $150,000 from the gain on the sale of Community Trust Company. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.86%, to $15.1 million in 2001 from $14.0 million in 2000. The primary component of noninterest expense was salaries and employee benefits, which decreased $265,000, or 3.90%, to $6.5 million in 2001 from $6.8 million in 2000. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the number of employees due to the sale of the branches. Other categories of expenses decreased due to the sale of the branches and improved efficiency from the consolidation of the subsidiary banks. Net occupancy expense was $749,000 in 2001 compared to $880,000 in 2000, and furniture and equipment expense was $1.4 million in 2001 compared to $1.6 million in 2000. The most significant increase in noninterest expense was in the amortization of intangible assets. The Company recorded amortization of intangible assets related to the sale of branches of $1.9 million. Total amortization of intangible assets was $2.4 million in 2001, as compared to $612,000 in 2000. The Company's efficiency ratio was 72.71% in 2001 compared to 81.75% in 2000. Net income increased $2.8 million, or 164.71%, to $4.5 million in 2001 from $1.7 million in 2000. Basic earnings per share was $1.31 in 2001, compared to $0.48 in 2000. Diluted earnings per share was $1.26 in 2001, compared to $0.48 in 2000. Return on average assets during 2001 was 1.19% compared to 0.41% during 2000, and return on average equity was 11.68% during 2001 compared to 4.57% during 2000. Year ended December 31, 2000, compared with year ended December 31, 1999 Net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 15.3%, to $13.1 million in 2000 from $11.3 million in 1999. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to an increase in average earning assets. Average earning assets increased $59.0 million, or 19.32%, due to the growth of the subsidiary banks in 2000. The Company's tax equivalent net interest spread and tax equivalent net interest margin were 3.36% and 3.83%, respectively, in 2000 compared to 3.48% and 3.96% in 1999. The decrease in the net interest spread was primarily the result of the increase in yields on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund loans and securities. Yields on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.36% in 1999 to 5.03% in 2000. 13 The provision for loan losses was $471,000 in 2000 compared to $1.0 million in 1999. The higher amount charged to the provision in 1999 was primarily to fund potential problem loans at the Greenwood and Barnwell Banks. The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.09% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2000. In addition, the provision was funded to match the growth in the loan portfolio from the growth of the subsidiary banks and the subsidiary banks' efforts to maintain their respective allowances for loan losses at levels sufficient to cover known and inherent losses in their loan portfolios. Noninterest income increased $123,000, or 3.9%, to $3.3 million in 2000 from $3.2 million in 1999, which was primarily attributable to increased service charges on deposit accounts and an increase in other operating income. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was attributable to the increase in the number of deposit accounts from the growth of the subsidiary banks. Other operating income increased $42,000 or 6.29% to $710,000 in 2000. Noninterest income in 1999 included $175,000 from the gain on sales of securities available-for-sale, compared to no gains in 2000. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 included $150,000 from the gain on the sale of Community Trust Company. Noninterest expense increased $2.0 million, or 16.3%, to $14.0 million in 2000 from $12.0 million in 1999. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits, which increased $1.1 million, or 19.3%, to $6.8 million in 2000 from $5.7 million in 1999. The increase is attributable to an increase in the number of employees due to the growth of the subsidiary banks and annual pay raises. Other categories of expenses increased due to the growth of the subsidiary banks and from the acquisition of the two branches in 2000. Net occupancy expense was $880,000 in 2000 compared to $819,000 in 1999, and furniture and equipment expense was $1.6 million in 2000 compared to $1.2 million in 1999. The Company recorded amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions of $612,000 in 2000 compared to $537,000 in 1999. The Company's efficiency ratio was 81.75% in 2000 compared to 79.55% in 1999. Net income increased $324,000, or 24.40%, to $1.7 million in 2000 from $1.3 million in 1999. Basic earnings per share was $0.48 in 2000, compared to $0.40 in 1999. Diluted earnings per share was $0.48 in 2000, compared to $0.40 in 1999. Return on average assets during 2000 was 0.41% compared to 0.40% during 1999, and return on average equity was 4.57% during 2000 compared to 3.90% during 1999. Net Interest Income General. The largest component of the Company's net income is its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income is determined by the yields earned on the Company's interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the degree of mismatch and the maturity and repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets represents the Company's net interest margin. 14 Average Balances, Income and Expenses, and Rates

(1) Volume-rate changes have been allocated to each category based on the percentage of the total change. Interest Sensitivity. The Company monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets and liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on its net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by the Company is the measurement of the Company's interest sensitivity "gap," which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available-for-sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. Managing the amount of assets and liabilities repricing in the same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the impact on net interest income of rising or falling interest rates. 16 The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2001.

Debt securities are reflected at each instrument's ultimate maturity date. Scheduled payment amounts of fixed rate amortizing loans are reflected at each scheduled payment date. Scheduled payment amounts of variable rate amortizing loans are reflected at each scheduled payment date until the loan may be repriced contractually; the unamortized balance is reflected at that point. Interest-bearing liabilities with no contractual maturity, such as savings deposits and interest-bearing transaction accounts, are reflected in the earliest repricing period due to contractual arrangements which give the Company the opportunity to vary the rates paid on those deposits within a thirty-day or shorter period. Fixed rate time deposits, principally certificates of deposit, are reflected at their contractual maturity date. Other short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Federal funds purchased are reflected at the earliest pricing interval since funds can be repriced daily. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reflected at the maturity date of each repurchase agreement which generally matures within one day. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are reflected at their contractual maturity dates. Obligations under capital leases are reflected at each payment date. 17 The Company generally would benefit from increasing market rates of interest when it has an asset-sensitive gap position and generally would benefit from decreasing market rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. The Company is liability sensitive within the one year period. However, the Company's gap analysis is not a precise indicator of its interest sensitivity position. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing of maturities and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those rates are viewed by management as significantly less interest-sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on non-core deposits. Accordingly, management believes a liability-sensitive gap position is not as indicative of the Company's true interest sensitivity as it would be for an organization which depends to a greater extent on purchased funds to support earning assets. Net interest income may be impacted by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses General. The Company has developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of its credit portfolio and the timely identification of potential problem credits. On a quarterly basis, the Company's Board of Directors reviews and approves the appropriate level for CapitalBank's allowance for loan losses based upon management's recommendations, the results of the internal monitoring and reporting system, analysis of economic conditions in its markets, and a review of historical statistical data for both the Company and other financial institutions. Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed as the provision for loan losses on the Company's income statement, are made periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on management's analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. Loan losses and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of nonperforming loans, historical loan loss experience, the amount of loan losses actually charged against the reserve during a given period, and current and anticipated economic conditions. The Company's allowance for loan losses is based upon judgments and assumptions of risk elements in the portfolio, future economic conditions, and other factors affecting borrowers. The process includes identification and analysis of loss potential in various portfolio segments utilizing a credit risk grading process and specific reviews and evaluations of significant problem credits. In addition, management monitors the overall portfolio quality through observable trends in delinquency, chargeoffs, and general and economic conditions in the service area. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the effectiveness of the Company's monitoring and analysis system are also reviewed periodically by the banking regulators and the Company's independent auditors. Based on present information and an ongoing evaluation, management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to meet presently known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management's judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events which it believes to be reasonable but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that chargeoffs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. The Company does not allocate the allowance for loan losses to specific categories of loans but evaluates the adequacy on an overall portfolio basis utilizing a risk grading system. 18 The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company's allowance for loan losses and the composition of chargeoffs and recoveries for each of the last five years.

Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth the Company's nonperforming assets for the dates indicated. Nonperforming Assets
December 31, ------------------------------------------ (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 ------ ---- ------ ------ ---- Nonaccrual loans $1,567 $637 $1,223 $1,348 $678 Restructured or impaired loans -- -- -- -- -- ------ ---- ------ ------ ---- Total nonperforming loans $1,567 $637 $1,223 $1,348 $678 Other real estate owned 148 58 -- -- 262 ------ ---- ------ ------ ---- Total nonperforming assets $1,715 $695 $1,223 $1,348 $940 ====== ==== ====== ====== ==== Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest $ -- $164 $ 109 $ 112 $ 84 Nonperforming assets to period end loans 0.68% 0.25% 0.56% 0.78% 0.63%
19 Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. A delinquent loan is generally placed in nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from current earnings as a reduction of reported interest income. No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual write-down or chargeoff of the principal balance of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to earnings. For all periods presented, the additional interest income, which would have been recognized into earnings if the Company's nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, is immaterial. Total nonperforming assets increased to $1.7 million at December 31, 2001, from $695,000 at December 31, 2000. This amount consists primarily of nonaccrual loans which totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2001. Nonperforming assets were 0.68% of total loans at December 31, 2001. The allowance for loan losses to period end nonperforming assets was 239.2% at December 31, 2001. Potential Problem Loans. At December 31, 2001, through its internal review mechanisms, the Company had identified $9.2 million of criticized loans and $10.5 million of classified loans. The results of this internal review process are the primary determining factor in management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company's criticized loans increased from $6.5 million at December 31, 2000 to $9.2 million at December 31, 2001. Total classified loans increased from $3.4 million at December 31, 2000 to $10.5 million at December 31, 2001. The increase in criticized and classified loans is attributable to the overall decline of the economy. Management is committed to addressing potential problem loans. Noninterest Income and Expense Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $6.8 million, or 206.06%, to $10.1 million in 2001 from $3.3 million in 2000, which was primarily attributable to the gain recognized on the sale of the five branches in 2001. The premium on this sale totaled $5.8 million. The Company had $290,000 in gains on the sale of nonmarketable equity securities in 2001, compared to no gains on sales of securities in 2000. Residential mortgage origination fees increased $319,000, or 63.42% to $822,000 in 2001 from $503,000 in 2000. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the principal components of noninterest income: Noninterest Income Year Ended December 31, ------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------ ------ Service charges on deposit accounts $ 2,128 $1,706 $1,513 Residential mortgage origination fees 822 503 672 Gains on sales of securities available-for-sale 290 -- 175 Commissions from sales of mutual funds 32 105 54 Income from fiduciary activities 131 129 98 Gain on sale of branches 5,791 -- -- Gain on sale of Community Trust Company -- 150 -- Other income 920 710 668 ------- ------ ------ Total noninterest income $10,114 $3,303 $3,180 ======= ====== ====== Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 7.86%, to $15.1 million in 2001 from $14.0 million in 2000. The primary component of noninterest expense was salaries and benefits, which decreased 20 $265,000, or 3.90%, to $6.5 million in 2001 from $6.8 million in 2000. The decrease represents the number of employees that staffed the branches sold in 2001. Other categories of expenses decreased due to the sale of the branches as well. Net occupancy expense was $749,000 in 2001 compared to $880,000 in 2000, and furniture and equipment expenses was $1.4 million in 2001 compared to $1.6 million in 2000. The most significant increase in noninterest expense was in the amortization of intangible assets. The Company recorded amortization of intangible assets related to the sale of branches of $1.9 million. Total amortization of intangible assets was $2.4 million in 2001, as compared to $612,000 in 2000. The Company's efficiency ratio was 72.71% in 2001 compared to 81.75% in 2000. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the primary components of noninterest expense: Noninterest Expense Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Salaries and employee benefits $ 6,522 $ 6,787 $ 5,690 Net occupancy expense 749 880 819 Furniture and equipment expense 1,440 1,631 1,178 Amortization of intangible assets 2,440 612 537 Director and committee fees 130 202 76 Data processing and supplies 410 361 205 Mortgage loan department expenses 278 130 247 Banking assessments 57 131 77 Professional fees and services 404 476 432 Postage and freight 339 380 312 Supplies 424 419 391 Credit card expenses 188 201 188 Telephone expenses 288 402 307 Other 1,433 1,364 1,555 ------- ------- ------- Total noninterest expense $15,102 $13,976 $12,014 ======= ======= ======= Efficiency ratio 72.71% 81.75% 79.55% Income Taxes. The Company's income tax expense was $1.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million from the 2000 amount of $290,000. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in income before taxes of $4.4 million when compared to 2000. As discussed, the gain on the sale of branches resulted in an increase in income before taxes. In 2000, the amount of nontaxable income from securities offset the majority of income before taxes. Earning Assets Loans. Loans are the largest category of earning assets and typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets. Associated with the higher yields are the inherent credit and liquidity risks which management attempts to control and counterbalance. Loans averaged $259.6 million in 2001 compared to $254.1 million in 2000, an increase of $5.5 million, or 2.20%. At December 31, 2001, total loans were $251.9 million compared to $280.5 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease in loans during 2001 was primarily due to the sale of the five branches. The following table sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio by category at the dates indicated and highlights the Company's general emphasis on mortgage lending. 21 Composition of Loan Portfolio

The principal component of the Company's loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At December 31, 2001, this category totaled $183.5 million and represented 72.8% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $172.1 million, or 61.3%, at December 31, 2000. In the context of this discussion, a "real estate mortgage loan" is defined as any loan, other than loans for construction purposes, secured by real estate, regardless of the purpose of the loan. It is common practice for financial institutions in the Company's market areas to obtain a security interest in real estate, whenever possible, in addition to any other available collateral. This collateral is taken to reinforce the likelihood of the ultimate repayment of the loan and tends to increase the magnitude of the real estate loan portfolio component. Real estate construction loans decreased $7.1 million, or 34.80%, to $13.3 million at December 31, 2001, from $20.4 million at December 31, 2000. Residential mortgage loans, which is the largest category of the Company's loans, increased $12.2 million, or 10.90%, to $124.1 million at December 31, 2001, from $111.9 million at December 31, 2000. Residential real estate loans consist of first and second mortgages on single or multi-family residential dwellings. Nonresidential mortgage loans, which include commercial loans and other loans secured by multi-family properties and farmland, decreased $742,000, or 1.23%, to $59.4 million at December 31, 2001, from $60.2 million at December 31, 2000. The overall increase in real estate lending was attributable to the continued demand for residential and commercial real estate loans in our markets. The Bank has been able to compete favorably for residential mortgage loans with other financial institutions by offering fixed rate products having three and five year call provisions. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $18.6 million, or 35.79%, to $33.4 million at December 31, 2001, from $52.0 million at December 31, 2000. Consumer loans decreased $15.5 million, or 45.95%, to $18.2 million at December 31, 2001, from $33.7 million at December 31, 2000. The Company's loan portfolio reflects the diversity of its markets. The Company's twelve branches are located from the northern Midlands of South Carolina through the Upstate. Primary market areas include Anderson, Belton, Clemson, Greenwood, Newberry and Saluda. The economies of these markets are varied and represent different industries including medium and light manufacturing, higher education, regional health care, and distribution facilities. These areas are expected to remain stable with continual growth. The diversity of the economy creates opportunities for all types of lending. The Company does not engage in foreign lending. 22 The repayment of loans in the loan portfolio as they mature is also a source of liquidity for the Company. The following table sets forth the Company's loans maturing within specified intervals at December 31, 2001. Loan Maturity Schedule and Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates December 31, 2001 Over One Year One Year or Through Over Five (Dollars in thousands) Less Five Years Years Total ----------- ---------- --------- -------- Commercial and industrial $17,392 $ 15,260 $ 743 $ 33,395 Real estate 74,234 96,470 26,056 196,760 Consumer and other 7,516 13,219 1,057 21,792 ------- -------- ------- -------- $99,142 $124,949 $27,856 $251,947 ------- -------- ------- -------- Loans maturing after one year with: Fixed interest rates $152,167 Floating interest rates 638 -------- $152,805 ======== The information presented in the above table is based on the contractual maturities of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, management believes this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio shown in the above table. Investment Securities. The investment securities portfolio is a significant component of the Company's total earning assets. Total securities averaged $83.8 million in 2001, compared to $110.2 million in 2000 and $116.0 million in 1999. At December 31, 2001, the total securities portfolio was $62.8 million. Securities designated as available-for-sale totaled $56.9 million and were recorded at estimated fair value. Securities designated as held-to-maturity totaled $550,000 and were recorded at amortized cost. The securities portfolio also includes nonmarketable equity securities totaling $5.4 million which are carried at cost because they are not readily marketable or have no quoted market value. These include investments in Federal Reserve Bank stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, the stock of four unrelated financial institutions, and the stock of a financial services company that offers internet banking. The following table sets forth the book value of the securities held by the Company at the dates indicated.

(2) The yield on state and local governments is presented on a tax equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 34%. Other attributes of the securities portfolio, including yields and maturities, are discussed above in "--Net Interest Income-- Interest Sensitivity." Short-Term Investments. Short-term investments, which consist primarily of federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with other banks, averaged $2.1 million in 2001, compared to $87,000 in 2000 and $696,000 in 1999. At December 31, 2001, short-term investments totaled $16,000. These funds are a source of the Company's liquidity. Federal funds are generally invested in an earning capacity on an overnight basis. Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $23.7 million, or 7.17%, to $306.9 million in 2001, from $330.6 million in 2000. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.7 million, or 1.02%, to $262.2 million in 2001, from $264.9 million in 2000. Deposits. Average total deposits decreased $5.4 million, or 1.84%, to $288.4 million during 2001, from $293.8 million during 2000. At December 31, 2001, total deposits were $258.3 million compared to $333.0 million a year earlier, a decrease of 22.43%. The following table sets forth the deposits of the Company by category at the dates indicated.

Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for the Company's loan portfolio and other earning assets. The Company's core deposits decreased $67.4 million to $218.7 million at December 31, 2001. 24 Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have historically been the Company's primary source of funding and have enabled the Company to meet successfully both its short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Management anticipates that such deposits will continue to be the Company's primary source of funding in the future. The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 97.53% at December 31, 2001, and 84.2% at the end of 2000. The maturity distribution of the Company's time deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2001, is set forth in the following table. Maturities of Certificates of Deposit of $100,000 or More
After Six After Three Through Within Three Through Six Twelve After Twelve (Dollars in thousands) Months Months Months Months Total ------------ ----------- --------- ----------- ------- Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more $16,530 $11,634 $7,390 $4,037 $39,591
Approximately 41.8% of the Company's time deposits of $100,000 or more had scheduled maturities within three months and 71.1% had maturities within six months. Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. Some financial institutions partially fund their balance sheets using large certificates of deposit obtained through brokers. These brokered deposits are generally expensive and are unreliable as long-term funding sources. Accordingly, the Company does not solicit brokered deposits. Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds consist of short-term borrowings and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Short-term borrowings are primarily federal funds purchased from correspondent banks and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Average short-term borrowings were $10.1 million in 2001, a decrease of $19.1 million from 2000. Federal funds purchased from correspondent banks averaged $5.5 million in 2001. At December 31, 2001, federal funds purchased totaled $2.4 million. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged $4.6 million in 2001. At December 31, 2001, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $5.1 million. Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances during 2001 were $31.4 million compared to $31.9 million during 2000, a decrease of $500,000. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are collateralized by one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and the Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. At December 31, 2001, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $31.3 million compared to $32.4 million a year earlier. Although management expects to continue using short-term borrowing and Federal Home Loan Bank advances as secondary funding sources, core deposits will continue to be the Company's primary funding source. Of the $31.3 million advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank outstanding at December 31, 2001, $10,045,000 mature in 2003, $8,000,000 mature in 2005, $1,500,000 mature in 2008, $725,000 in 2009, and $11,000,000 in 2010. Capital The Federal Reserve Board and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the risk-based standard, capital is classified into two tiers. Tier 1 capital of the Company consists of common shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, minus intangible assets. The Company's Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. A bank holding company's qualifying capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital. The holding company and CapitalBank are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on average total assets (as defined), which is known as the leverage ratio. Only the strongest bank holding companies and 25 banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the minimum. The Company and CapitalBank exceeded the Federal Reserve's fully phased-in regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, as set forth in the following table. Analysis of Capital

Liquidity Management and Capital Resources Liquidity management involves monitoring the Company's sources and uses of funds in order to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves. Liquidity management is made more complex because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of the investment portfolio is very predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to nearly the same degree of control. The Company's loans-to-assets ratio and loans-to-funds ratio increased from 2000 to 2001. The loans-to-assets ratio at December 31, 2001 was 73.95% compared to 66.4% at December 31, 2000, and the loans-to-funds ratio at December 31, 2001 was 84.71% compared to 73.4% at December 31, 2000. The amount of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were approximately $31.2 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2000. Management expects to continue using these advances as a source of funding. Additionally, the Company had approximately $58.6 million of unused lines of credit for federal funds purchases and $56.9 million of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2001 as sources of liquidity. The Company depends on dividends from CapitalBank as its primary source of liquidity. The ability of CapitalBank to pay dividends is subject to general regulatory restrictions which may, but are not expected to, have a material impact on the liquidity available to the Company. The Company paid stock dividends in September 1998, June 2000 and May 2001 and may do so in the future. The Company paid cash dividends in September 2001, December 2001 and has declared a cash dividend for March 2002. 26 Accounting Rule Changes In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires the use of the purchase method. The Statement also requires that intangible assets be reported separately from goodwill. This Statement is effective for all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization; however, it should be evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis and adjusted to its fair value. In addition, an acquired intangible should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of intent to do so. However, the FASB recommends that financial institutions continue to follow the basic guidelines of SFAS 72 in recording and amortizing goodwill and other unidentifiable intangible assets. The Company adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these Statements will not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on how the derivative is used and how the derivative is designated. The Company adopted SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company did not have any derivative instruments nor any derivative instruments embedded in other contracts in 2001. Impact of Inflation Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Company and its subsidiary are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation. Impact of Off-Balance Sheet Instruments The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer at predetermined interest rates as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities. Standby letters of credit often expire without being used. The Company uses the same credit underwriting procedures for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit as we do for our on-balance sheet instruments. The credit worthiness of each borrower is evaluated and the amount of collateral, if deemed necessary, is based on the credit evaluation. Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. 27 The Company is not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships, other than those disclosed in this report, that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments or that could significantly impact earnings. As of December 31, 2001 our commitments to extend credit totaled $45,676,000 and our standby letters of credit totaled $2,348,000. Management believes that through various sources of liquidity, we have the necessary resources to meet obligations arising from these financial commitments. Our experience has been that a significant portion of these commitments often expire without being used. Industry Developments On November 4, 1999, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives each passed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, previously known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 2000. The Act was signed into law by President Clinton in November 1999. Among other things, the Act repeals the restrictions on banks affiliating with securities firms contained in Sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act. The Act also creates a new "financial holding company" under the Bank Holding Company Act, which will permit holding companies to engage in a statutorily provided list of financial activities, including insurance and securities underwriting and agency activities, merchant banking, and insurance company portfolio investment activities. The Act also authorizes activities that are "complementary" to financial activities. The Act is intended to grant to community banks certain powers as a matter of right that larger institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis. Nevertheless, the Act may have the result of increasing the amount of competition that the Company faces from larger institutions and other types of companies. In fact, it is not possible to predict the full effect that the Act will have on the Company. From time to time, various bills are introduced in the United States Congress with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Certain of these proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of banks and the financial services industry. The Company cannot predict whether any of these proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, how these proposals would affect the Company. Item 7A.

CLAYTON HESLOP, CPA TIMOTHY S. VOGEL, CPA INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors Community Capital Corporation Greenwood, South Carolina We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Community Capital Corporation as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Tourville, Simpson & Caskey, L.L.P.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. F-6 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES --------------------------------------------------- Basis of Presentation - Community Capital Corporation (the Company) serves as a --------------------- bank holding company for CapitalBank (CapitalBank). The Bank was formed on January 1, 2001, during a restructuring that consolidated the Company's operations into a single subsidiary. CapitalBank operates twelve branches throughout South Carolina. The Bank offers a full range of banking services, including a wealth management group featuring a wide array of financial services, with personalized attention, local decision making and strong emphasis on the needs of individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. The Company was formed in 1988 to serve as a holding company for Greenwood National Bank, which later changed its name to Greenwood Bank & Trust (the "Greenwood Bank"). In 1994 the Company made the decision to expand beyond Greenwood County by creating an organization of independent banks in four additional markets. In June 1995, the Company opened Clemson Bank and Trust (the "Clemson Bank") in Clemson, South Carolina. In 1996 and 1997, the Company opened Community Bank and Trust (the "Barnwell Bank"), The Bank (the "Belton Bank"), and Mid State Bank (the "Newberry Bank"). The Company formed a separate trust organization in 1997 known as Community Trust Company. In May 2000, Community Trust Company was sold. During 1997 and 1998, the Company also acquired several Carolina First branches. As discussed, on January 1, 2001, the Company merged the five subsidiary banks into one bank charter known as CapitalBank. The Company made the decision to restructure the organization into one bank in order to improve operational efficiencies, provide new opportunities for employees, and improve service to customers. Customers will receive the benefit of being able to transact business at any of CapitalBank's branches, through the ATM network, and through the internet banking products. Additionally, management believes that the new centralized credit function will provide additional controlled decisions while streamlining the credit process. Centralized deposit pricing will support management's strategy from market to market. It is believed that the name recognition will be enhanced. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company reflect industry practices and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in all material respects. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and CapitalBank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates - In preparing the financial statements, management is required ---------------- to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, including valuation allowances for impaired loans, the carrying amount of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock options granted and the pro forma disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123. Management must also make estimates in determining the estimated useful lives and methods for depreciating premises and equipment. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near term. Securities Available-for-sale - Securities available-for-sale by the Company are ----------------------------- carried at amortized cost and adjusted to estimated fair value by recording the aggregate unrealized gain or loss in a valuation account. Management does not actively trade securities classified as available-for-sale. Reductions in fair value considered by management to be other than temporary are reported as a realized loss and a reduction in the cost basis in the security. Generally, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are charged or credited to earnings on a straight-line basis over the life of the securities. The adjusted cost basis of securities available-for-sale is determined by specific identification and is used in computing the gain or loss from a sales transaction. F-7 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) --------------------------------------------------- Securities Held-To-Maturity - Securities held-to-maturity are those securities --------------------------- which management has the intent and the Company has the ability to hold until maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are carried at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, both computed by the straight-line method. Reductions in fair value considered by management to be other than temporary are reported as a realized loss and a reduction in the cost basis of the security. Nonmarketable Equity Securities - Nonmarketable equity securities include the ------------------------------- costs of the Company's investments in the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The stocks have no quoted market value and no ready market exists. Investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock is required for state-chartered member banks. Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a condition of borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the stock is pledged to secure the borrowings. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock was $1,037,150 and $826,000, respectively. At both December 31, 2001 and 2000, the investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock was $2,047,700. The Company has invested in the stock of four unrelated financial institutions. The Company owns less than five percent of the outstanding shares of each institution, and the stocks either have no quoted market value or are not readily marketable. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the investments in the stock of the unrelated financial institutions, at cost, were $1,820,144 and $2,125,462, respectively. The Company also invested in a financial services company that offers internet banking. The Company's investment in the stock of this institution was $500,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Loans - Loans are recorded at their unpaid principal balance. Direct loan ----- origination costs and loan origination fees are deferred and amortized over the lives of the loans as an adjustment to yield. Unamortized net deferred loans costs included in loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000 were $134,008 and $217,953, respectively. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of discounted expected cash flows. When it is determined that a loan is impaired, a direct charge to bad debt expense is made for the difference between the net present value of expected future cash flows based on the contractual rate and the Company's recorded investment in the related loan. The corresponding entry is to a related valuation account. Interest is discontinued on impaired loans when management determines that a borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Interest income is computed using the simple interest method and is recorded in the period earned. When serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan or a loan is 90 days past due, the accrual of interest income is generally discontinued unless the estimated net realizable value of the collateral is sufficient to assure collection of the principal balance and accrued interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid accrued interest is reversed and charged against current year income. Allowance for Loan Losses - Management provides for losses on loans through ------------------------- specific and general charges to operations and credits such charges to the allowance for loan losses. Specific provision for losses is determined for identified loans based upon estimates of the excess of the loan's carrying value over the net realizable value of the underlying collateral. General provision for loan losses is estimated by management based upon factors including industry loss experience for similar lending categories, actual loss experience, delinquency trends, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustment to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. Delinquent loans are charged against the allowance at the time they are determined to be uncollectible. Recoveries are added to the allowance. Residential Mortgages Held For Sale - The Company's mortgage activities are ----------------------------------- comprised of accepting residential mortgage loan applications, qualifying borrowers to standards established by investors, funding residential mortgages and selling mortgages to investors under pre-existing commitments. Funded residential mortgages held temporarily for sale to investors are recorded at cost which approximates the market value. Application and origination fees collected by the Company is recognized as income upon sale to the investor. F-8 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) --------------------------------------------------- Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less ---------------------- accumulated depreciation. Gain or loss on retirement of premises and equipment is recognized in the statements of operations when incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense; betterments and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation charges are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: building and improvements - 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment - 3 to 15 years. Other Real Estate Owned - Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired ----------------------- through foreclosure and loans accounted for as in-substance foreclosures. Collateral is considered foreclosed in-substance when the borrower has little or no equity in the fair value of the collateral, proceeds for repayment of the debt can be expected to come only from the sale of the collateral, and it is doubtful that the borrower can rebuild equity or otherwise repay the loan in the foreseeable future. Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost (principal balance at the date of foreclosure) or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Any write-downs at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for possible loan losses. Expenses to maintain such assets, subsequent changes in the valuation allowance, and gains and losses on disposal are included in other expenses. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit ----------------- premiums resulting from the Company's acquisitions. The core deposit premiums are being amortized over fifteen years using the straight-line method, and goodwill is being amortized over five years using the straight-line method. Stock-Based Compensation - SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, ------------------------ allows a company to either adopt the fair value method or continue using the intrinsic valuation method presented under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25 to account for stock-based compensation. The fair value method recommended in SFAS 123 requires compensation cost to be measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and to be recognized over the service period. The intrinsic value method measures compensation cost based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has elected to continue using APB Opinion 25 to account for stock options granted and has disclosed in the footnotes pro forma net income and earnings per-share information as if the fair value method had been used. Income Taxes - The income tax provision is the sum of amounts currently payable ------------ to taxing authorities and the net changes in income taxes payable or refundable in future years. Income taxes deferred to future years are determined utilizing a liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities, principally the allowance for loan losses and depreciable premises and equipment. Cash Flow Information - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company --------------------- considers certain highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposit accounts, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The following summarizes supplemental cash flow information for 2001, 2000, and 1999:
(Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Cash paid for interest $15,088 $15,469 $12,213 Cash paid for income taxes 690 346 434 Supplemental noncash investing and financing activities: Foreclosures on loans 148 577 -- Transfer from retained earnings to common stock and capital surplus to record stock dividends 1,331 1,014 -- Change in unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net of tax 746 2,224 (3,534)
F-9 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) --------------------------------------------------- Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments, which potentially subject ----------------------------- the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of loans receivable, securities, federal funds sold and amounts due from banks. Management is not aware of any concentrations of loans to classes of borrowers or industries that would be similarly affected by economic conditions. Although the Company's loan portfolio is diversified, a substantial portion of its borrowers' ability to honor the terms of their loans is dependent on business and economic conditions in the upstate region of South Carolina. Management does not believe credit risk is associated with obligations of the United States, its agencies or its corporations. The Company places its deposits and correspondent accounts with and sells its federal funds to high credit quality institutions. By policy, time deposits are limited to amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes credit risk associated with correspondent accounts is not significant. Per-Share Data - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by -------------- the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period excluding the effects of any dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company's stock option plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by the application of the treasury stock method. Share and per-share data have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividends issued in May 2001, June 2000, and September 1998. Comprehensive Income - Accounting principles generally require that recognized -------------------- revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:
Year Ended December 31, -------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------- ------- Unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities $1,130 $ 3,370 $(5,180) Reclassification adjustment for (gains) losses realized in income -- -- (175) ------ ------- ------- Net unrealized gains (losses) on securities 1,130 3,370 (5,355) Tax effect (384) (1,146) 1,821 ------ ------- ------- Net-of-tax amount $ 746 $ 2,224 $(3,534) ====== ======= =======
Common Stock Owned by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - ESOP purchases -------------------------------------------------------------- and redemptions of the Company's common stock are at estimated fair value. Dividends on ESOP shares are charged to retained earnings. All shares held by the ESOP are treated as outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments - In the ordinary course of business, --------------------------------------- the Company enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable by the customer. F-10 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES --------------------------------------------------- Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2001, the Financial Accounting -------------------------------- Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations and requires the use of the purchase method. The Statement also requires that intangible assets be reported separately from goodwill. This Statement is effective for all transactions initiated after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization; however, it should be evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis and adjusted to its fair value. In addition, an acquired intangible should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of intent to do so. However, the FASB recommends that financial institutions continue to follow the basic guidelines of SFAS 72 in recording and amortizing goodwill and other unidentifiable intangible assets. The Company adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001. SFAS 142 is effective for entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of these Statements will not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which as amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on how the derivative is used and how the derivative is designated. The Company adopted SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 133 did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company did not have any derivative instruments nor any derivative instruments embedded in other contracts in 2001. Reclassifications - Certain captions and amounts in the 2000 and 1999 financial ----------------- statements were reclassified to conform with the 2001 presentation. Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - A sale is recognized when the -------------------------------------------- Company relinquishes control over a financial asset and is compensated for such asset. The difference between the net proceeds received and the carrying amount of the financial asset being sold or securitized is recognized as a gain or loss on the sale. NOTE 2 - SALE OF BRANCHES ------------------------- On January 29, 2001, CapitalBank entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement to sell certain assets and deposits of five of its branches to Enterprise Bank of South Carolina. The branches included in the transaction were Barnwell, Blackville, Springfield, Salley, and Williston. As of May 14, 2001, CapitalBank sold the five branches, which had approximately $67,100,000 in deposits. At the closing, and subject to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, CapitalBank received from Enterprise Bank a premium of 8.63% on the deposits. The principal assets and liabilities disposed of in the sale are summarized as follows: (Dollars in thousands) Deposits, including accrued interest payable less premium $(61,309) Premises and equipment 3,568 Loans, including accrued interest receivable 49,346 Other, net (11) -------- Cash paid for net liabilities sold $ 8,406 F-11 NOTE 3 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS ------------------------------------------------ The Company is required to maintain average reserve balances computed as a percentage of deposits. At December 31, 2001, the required cash reserves were satisfied by vault cash on hand and amounts due from correspondent banks. NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES ------------------------------ Securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2001 and 2000 consisted of the following:

There were no sale of securities available for sale in 2001 or 2000. Proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale during 1999 were $28,718,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $176,000 along with gross realized losses of $1,000. There were no sales of securities held-to-maturity in 2001, 2000, or 1999. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, securities having amortized costs of approximately $51,234,360 and $80,009,953, respectively, and estimated fair values of $51,967,647 and $79,350,365, respectively, were pledged as collateral for short-term borrowings, to secure public and trust deposits, and for other purposes as required and permitted by law. NOTE 5 - LOANS RECEIVABLE ------------------------- Loans receivable at December 31, 2001 and 2000, are summarized as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 -------- -------- Commercial and industrial $ 33,395 $ 52,005 Real estate 177,821 171,502 Home equity 18,939 20,947 Consumer - installment 16,915 32,243 Consumer - credit card and checking 1,312 1,478 Residential mortgages held-for-sale and other 3,565 2,331 -------- -------- Total gross loans $251,947 $280,506 ======== ======== At December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company had sold participations in loans aggregating $9,518,000, $39,689,000, and $14,819,000, respectively, to other financial institutions on a nonrecourse basis. Collections on loan participations and remittances to participating institutions conform to customary banking practices. The Bank accepts residential mortgage loan applications and fund loans of qualified borrowers (see Note 1). Funded loans are sold without recourse to investors at face value under the terms of pre-existing commitments. The Company does not sell residential mortgages having market or interest rate risk. The Company does not service residential mortgage loans for the benefit of others. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had pledged approximately $41,693,000 and $14,132,000, respectively, of loans on residential real estate as collateral for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (see Note 10). F-13 NOTE 5 - LOANS RECEIVABLE (continued) ------------------------- Loans are defined as impaired when "based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement." All loans are subject to this criteria except for: "smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment" and loans "measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value." The Company considers its consumer installment portfolio, credit cards, and home equity lines as meeting this criteria. Therefore, the real estate and commercial loan portfolios are primarily subject to possible impairment. The Company identifies impaired loans through its normal internal loan review process. Loans on the Company's problem loan watch list are considered potentially impaired loans. These loans are evaluated in determining whether all outstanding principal and interest are expected to be collected. Loans are not considered impaired if a minimal delay occurs and all amounts due including accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay are expected to be collected. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, management reviewed its problem loan watch list and determined that no impairment on loans existed that would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had nonaccrual loans of approximately $1,567,000 and $637,000, respectively, for which impairment had not been recognized. An analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, is as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------- Balance, beginning of year $3,060 $2,557 $ 2,399 Provision charged to operations 1,920 471 1,037 Recoveries on loans previously charged-off 98 237 163 Loans charged-off (975) (540) (1,042) Reserves related to acquisitions -- 335 -- ------ ------ ------- Balance, end of year $4,103 $3,060 $ 2,557 ====== ====== ======= In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card arrangements and letters of credit and have elements of risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer's performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had unfunded commitments, including standby letters of credit, of $45,676,000 and $49,342,000, of which $2,348,000 and $8,027,000, respectively, were unsecured. At December 31, 2001, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to borrowers having loans in nonaccrual status.

In addition, the Company's Federal Home Loan Bank stock is pledged to secure the borrowings. Certain advances are subject to prepayment penalties. NOTE 11 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY ------------------------------ The Company declared a 5% stock dividend for shareholders of record on May 30, 2001, June 30, 2000, and September 30, 1998. Amounts equal to the estimated fair value of the additional shares issued have been charged to retained earnings and credited to common stock and capital surplus. Dividends representing fractional shares were paid in cash. Net income per share, average shares outstanding, treasury shares, employee stock ownership plan shares, and stock option plan shares have been adjusted to reflect the stock distribution for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2001, the Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase plan whereby the Company could repurchase up to $3,000,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had purchased 189,024 shares at a cost of $1,903,000. The Company did not sell any shares of its common stock to its employee stock ownership plan in 2001. The Company sold 22,081 shares of its common stock to its employee stock ownership plan throughout 2000, based on the quoted market price at the time of sale. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had authorized 2,000,000 shares of a special class of stock, par value $1.00 per share, the rights and preferences of which were to be designated as the Board of Directors should determine. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, no shares of the undesignated stock had been issued or were outstanding. NOTE 12 - LEASES ---------------- The Company leases part of a building and land as a branch banking location from a former director. The operating lease has an initial ten-year term, which expires July 31, 2006, and is renewable, at the Company's option, for four five-year terms at an increased monthly rental. The lease requires monthly payments of $3,500 with an increase to $3,850 per month during the last five years of the initial lease term. The initial lease term ends on July 31, 2006. The monthly payments upon renewal are $4,235. F-17 NOTE 12 - LEASES (continued) ---------------- Rent expense under this operating lease agreement was $44,100 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $42,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Future obligations over the primary terms of the remaining long-term lease as of December 31, 2001 are as follows: (Dollars in thousands) Amount ------ 2002 $ 46 2003 46 2004 46 2005 46 2006 48 ---- Total $232 ==== In 2000, the Company restructured two lease agreements for certain data processing equipment.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and CapitalBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and CapitalBank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and CapitalBank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and CapitalBank to maintain minimum ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Tier 1 capital of the Company and CapitalBank consists of common shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The Company and CapitalBank are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on average assets (as defined), which is known as the leverage ratio. Only the strongest institutions are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the minimum. As of the most recent regulatory examination, CapitalBank was deemed well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized well capitalized, CapitalBank must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed CapitalBank's categories. The following tables summarize the capital ratios and the regulatory minimum requirements of the Company and CapitalBank at December 31, 2001 and the Company and the subsidiary banks at December 31, 2000.

NOTE 14 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS ---------------------------------- On May 27, 1998, the Company terminated its Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Plan") and its Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Plan"). These Plans were replaced by the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan effective January 1, 1998. Outstanding options issued under the former Plans will be honored in accordance with the terms and conditions in effect at the time they were granted, except that they are not subject to reissuance. At December 31, 2001, there were 367,682 options outstanding that had been issued under the terminated Plans. F-20 NOTE 14 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (continued) ---------------------------------- The 1997 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of statutory incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code as well as nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, or restricted stock of up to 600,000 shares (as amended January 27, 1999), adjusted for stock dividends of the Company's common stock, to officers, employees, and directors of and consultants for the Company. The Board voted to amend the number of shares available for grant from 2,100,000 to 600,000 in January 1999. Awards may be granted for a term of up to ten years from the effective date of grant. Under this Plan, the Company's Board of Directors has sole discretion as to the exercise date of any awards granted. The per-share exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted. The per-share exercise price of nonqualified stock options may not be less than 50% of the fair value of a share on the effective date of grant. Any options that expire unexercised or are canceled become available for issuance. No awards may be made after January 27, 2008. On May 16, 2001, the Company granted 137,241 options pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. The options are exercisable one year from the date of grant at a price of $7.71 per-share and expire May 16, 2006. As of December 31, 2001, there were 157,663 options available for issuance under this Plan. As discussed in Note 1, the Company continues to apply APB Opinion 25 in accounting for its stock compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for any options issued by the Company. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of FASB Statement 123, the Company's net income and earnings per-share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: (Dollars in thousands, except for per share data) 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------ Net income: As reported $4,478 $1,652 $1,328 Pro forma 4,026 1,274 704 Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 1.31 $ 0.48 $ 0.40 Pro forma 1.18 0.39 0.22 Diluted earnings per share: As reported $ 1.26 $ 0.48 $ 0.40 Pro forma 1.13 0.39 0.22 In calculating the pro forma disclosures, the fair value of options granted is estimated as of the date granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: 2001 2000 1999 ------- ------- ------- Dividend yield 0.78% 0.00% 0.00% Expected volatility 62.28% 22.20% 23.00% Risk-free interest rate 4.49% 6.71% 5.56% Expected life 5 years 5 years 5 years The weighted-average fair value of options, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, granted during 2001, 2000, and 1999 is $4.18, $2.03, and $3.20, respectively. F-21 NOTE 14 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS (continued) ---------------------------------- A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 and changes during the years ended on those dates is presented below:

Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and generally do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility. Total loans and commitments outstanding to related parties at December 31, 2001 and 2000, were $9,232,569 and $7,946,301, respectively. During 2001, $7,854,068 of new loans were made to related parties and repayments totaled $6,567,800. During 2001, the Company paid $44,000 under an operating lease to a former director that resigned in May 2001. The Company paid $42,000 under the operating lease in 2000 and 1999 (See Note 12). The Company purchases various types of insurance from agencies that belong to several directors. Amounts paid for insurance premiums were $65,000, $75,000, and $63,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES --------------------------------------- In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. NOTE 17 - RESTRICTION ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS --------------------------------------------- The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends to shareholders is dependent upon receiving cash in the form of dividends from CapitalBank. However, certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of CapitalBank to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances to the Company. Dividends are payable only from the retained earnings of CapitalBank. F-23 NOTE 18 - EARNINGS PER-SHARE ---------------------------- Net income per share - basic is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Net income per share - diluted is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options.

The Company matches 75 cents per dollar, up to a maximum of 6% of employee compensation. Company contributions to the savings plan were $195,000, $185,000 and $172,000 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company's policy is to fund amounts accrued. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the savings plan owned 124,544 and 114,242 shares of the Company's common stock purchased at an average cost of $8.66 and $6.35 per share, respectively, adjusted for the effects of stock dividends. The estimated value of shares held at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $1,382,181 and $591,611, respectively. The Company had a Directors' Incentive Compensation Plan and an Officers' Incentive Compensation Plan, in 2000 and 1999 which provided that portions of directors' fees and certain officers' cash awards, respectively, were determined, based upon various performance measures. For the year ended December 31, 2000, awards under the directors' plan were $17,000, and awards under the officers' plan were $83,000. There were no incentive payments made in 1999. These plans were dissolved in 2001. F-26 NOTE 21 - RETIREMENT AND BENEFIT PLANS (continued) -------------------------------------- The Company has an Executive Supplemental Compensation Plan that provides certain officers with salary continuation benefits upon retirement. The plan also provides for benefits in the event of early retirement, death, or substantial change of control of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, salary continuation expense included in salaries and employee benefits was $27,913, $28,165, and $133,289, respectively. In connection with the Executive Supplemental Compensation Plan, life insurance contracts were purchased on the officers. No insurance premiums were paid in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, or 1999. During 1999, certain officers opted out of the Executive Supplemental Compensation Plan. Under a new agreement, split-dollar life insurance policies were obtained on the lives of these officers. The officers are entitled to all of the benefits of these policies, with the exception of the premiums paid by the Company. There was no expense associated with this plan in 2001, 2000, or 1999. Insurance premiums of $318,000 were paid in the years ended December 31, 2001 2000, and 1999. NOTE 22 - UNUSED LINES OF CREDIT -------------------------------- As of December 31, 2001, the subsidiary bank had unused lines of credit to purchase federal funds from unrelated banks totaling $58,579,000. These lines of credit are available on a one to fourteen day basis for general corporate purposes. The lenders have reserved the right not to renew their respective lines. NOTE 23 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS --------------------------------------------- The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which an asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments: Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Bearing Deposit Accounts - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Federal Funds Sold - Federal funds sold are for a term of one day, and the carrying amount approximates the fair value. Investment Securities - The fair values of securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For securities available-for-sale, fair value equals the carrying amount which is the quoted market price. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. Nonmarketable Equity Securities - Cost is a reasonable estimate of fair value for nonmarketable equity securities because no quoted market prices are available and the securities are not readily marketable. The carrying amount is adjusted for any permanent declines in value. F-27 NOTE 23 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) --------------------------------------------- Loans - For certain categories of loans, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk and credit card receivables, fair values are based on the carrying amounts. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to the borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable - The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities. Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one day. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank - The carrying amounts of variable rate borrowings are reasonable estimates of fair value because they can be repriced frequently. The fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company's current borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Long-Term Debt - The fair value of the Company's variable rate long-term debt is estimated at the carrying amount because the interest rate reprices with changes in the leader's prime rate, and management is not aware of any significant changes in the credit risk. Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments - The contractual amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for the instruments because commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are issued on a short-term or floating rate basis. Commitments to extend credit include commitments under credit card arrangements. F-28 NOTE 23 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) --------------------------------------------- The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:
