PART I BUSINESS This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties which are described in this Annual Report and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The actual results of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "CNB") may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions, changes in the interest rate environment that may reduce margins, general economic or business conditions in the Company's markets that lead to a deterioration in credit quality or reduced loan demand, legislative or regulatory changes and competitors of the Company that may have greater financial resources and develop products or services that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than the Company. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements include customer acceptance of new products and services, changes in customer spending and saving habits and the Company's success in managing costs associated with expansion. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Selected Historical Financial Information and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, which are included in this Form 10-K. GENERAL The Company is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), which commenced operations in 1987 by acquiring the capital stock of CNB National Bank (the "Bank"), which was formed in 1986. The Company relocated its headquarters from Lake City, Florida to Jacksonville, Florida during 2000 in connection with its expansion plans described below. The Bank is a national banking association subject to the supervision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller"). It provides traditional deposit, lending and mortgage products and services to its commercial and retail customers through fifteen full service branches located within the following contiguous counties in Northeast Florida: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Duval, St. Johns, Suwannee and Union County. At December 31, 2001, the Company had total assets of $612.0 million, total gross loans of $521.6 million, total deposits of $532.9 million, and total shareholders' equity of $46.7 million. Net income for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $2.9 million, $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. EVOLUTION OF THE FLORIDA BANKING MARKET Significant changes in interstate banking and branching laws, enacted during the early 1980s, have allowed bank holding companies to aggressively expand into new markets that have attractive growth rates and demographics. As a result, substantial consolidation of the Florida banking market has occurred. Management believes Florida has been particularly attractive to regional bank holding companies because it is the fourth largest state in the country in terms of total population and is among the ten fastest growing states in the country. As more out-of-state bank holding companies enter the Florida market, the Company believes that the number of depository institutions headquartered and operating in Florida will continue to decline. The Company has observed a similar consolidation trend in the markets in and around Gainesville and Jacksonville (the "Expansion Markets"). Historically the Company competed successfully in Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford and Union Counties (the "Core Markets"), against larger bank holding companies for middle market customers. In the Company's Expansion Markets, many of such customers have preferred the banking services and products of banks that are locally headquartered. Increasingly, however, large regional bank holding companies are entering the Company's Expansion Markets by acquiring such previously locally headquartered banks. For example, in January 1998, Bank of America Corporation formerly known as NationsBank Corporation completed its acquisition of Jacksonville-based Barnett Banks, Inc. ("Barnett"), which prior to its acquisition was the largest bank headquartered in Florida. The acquisition of 2 Barnett closely followed the acquisition of three of Jacksonville's five community banks by SouthTrust Bank Corporation ("SouthTrust") and Compass Bancshares, Inc. ("Compass") in 1996 and 1997. Similarly, Gainesville State Bank, the largest community bank in Gainesville and Alachua County (the "Gainesville Market"), was acquired by Compass in 1997. As a result, the Company now competes in its Core Markets, and will compete in its Expansion Markets, primarily with SunTrust Banks, Bank of America, Wachovia, SouthTrust, AmSouth and Compass, all of which are headquartered outside of Florida. GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMPANY Management believes that a significant segment of the historical customer base of Barnett and the customer bases of other acquired community banks in Northeast Florida, particularly individuals and small and medium-sized businesses, prefer the personalized service that characterized their relationships with the locally headquartered banks that were acquired. Many of these personal relationships have been disrupted as the larger, regional financial institutions increasingly focus on larger corporate customers, offer primarily standardized loan and deposit products and services, and employ centralized management and more remote decision-making. Thus, Company management believes there exists a unique opportunity to address the under-served banking needs of individuals and small and medium-sized businesses in its Expansion Markets, which are contiguous and demographically similar to the Company's existing Core Markets. Accordingly, the Company's current strategic focus is to immediately capitalize on this market opportunity. In pursuing this opportunity, the Company will continue to focus on that specific segment of the market to which it has historically appealed. The Company believes that its historical strategy of providing personalized and consistent service to its small and middle-market corporate customers and individuals will allow it to continue to compete profitably, not only in the markets that it presently serves but in other markets as well. BUSINESS STRATEGY The Company's primary goal is to enhance profitability and shareholder returns through aggressive but sound growth. The Company's long-term strategy is to (i) continue to grow its full service banking operations by expanding into new markets, (ii) leverage current branch capacity, (iii) expand its mortgage, consumer and commercial lending activities, and (iv) continue to differentiate itself from its larger competitors by emphasizing personalized, relationship-driven service provided by a locally-headquartered financial institution. EXPAND IN UNDER-SERVED MARKETS The consolidation of the banking industry in Northeast Florida has created a window of opportunity for the Company to expand its operations in the Expansion Markets. The Expansion Markets are contiguous and culturally similar to the Core Markets. Like the Core Markets, the Expansion Markets consist in large part of individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. The Company believes that its familiarity with meeting the banking needs and expectations of similar customers in the Core Markets makes the Company particularly qualified to attract banking customers accustomed to banking with community banks in the Expansion Markets. The recent consolidation also has dislocated qualified banking professionals who have strong ties to and an understanding of their local markets. The Company believes that it has attracted and will continue to attract qualified banking professionals, thereby benefiting from their experience and their ability, in many instances, to bring with them the banking business of their loyal customers. These factors, together with the Bank's asset size and its capital base, position the Company to work more effectively with middle-market customers than many smaller community banks in the Expansion Markets. PROVIDE COMMUNITY BANKING SERVICE The Company believes that it can achieve the goals outlined above through a continued commitment to the "community bank philosophy," which emphasizes offering a broad range of personalized products and services through banking professionals who understand the banking industry and the banking needs of the local communities they serve. Each branch manager and individual loan officer is given a certain degree of authority and discretion to approve loans and to price loans and services in order to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of the Company's customers. In implementing this strategy, the Company will combine the experience and customer networks of its loan officers with centralized information technology to effectively price and provide customized banking services to enhance overall profitability. The Company intends to pursue this 3 strategy throughout its Core and Expansion Markets and operate a multi-office community bank that emphasizes decision-making at the local level. To ensure that the Company's proposed expansion does not erode its standards for service and quality, the Company created four operating divisions: the Southern Division (Alachua County), the TriCounty Division (Baker, Bradford and Union counties), the Suwannee Valley Division (Columbia and Suwannee Counties) and the First Coast Division (Duval and St. Johns Counties). This organizational structure will help to ensure that the Company's banking products and services are tailored to the individual markets it serves, as opposed to the "one size fits all" approach that generally is followed by larger financial institutions. The divisions are headed by Division Presidents who effectively have the authority to operate the division as a community bank, so long as it is done within the parameters of the Company's policies. DEPOSIT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The Company, through its banking subsidiary, offers various deposit products and services to its retail and commercial customers. These products include commercial and retail checking accounts, specialized low-cost checking for customers who write few checks per month, money market accounts for consumers and commercial customers, bundled account products including the Generations Gold(TM) affinity program, NOW accounts and savings accounts. Additionally, the Company offers an interest-bearing transaction account for seniors with no minimum balance requirements, no service charge and no per-check charge. For customer convenience and ease of storage, the Company offers image-based monthly account statements, as well as an automated telephone banking service for balance reporting. The Company also offers internet banking services, which allow customers to check balances, transfer funds and pay bills on-line. The Company's deposit services include cash management for commercial customers for overnight investment, wire transfer services, collections, money orders, safe deposit boxes and traveler's checks. The Bank is currently a member of the STAR (formerly HONOR), PLUS and CIRRUS networks of automated teller machines that may be used by Bank customers in major cities throughout the United States. The FDIC insures all deposits up to the maximum amount permitted by law (generally $100,000 per depositor subject to aggregation rules). LOAN PRODUCTS AND LENDING POLICY GENERAL The Company provides to customers a full range of short- to medium-term commercial, agricultural, Small Business Administration ("SBA") guaranteed, Farmers Home Administration guaranteed, long term residential mortgages and personal loans, both secured and unsecured. Credit is extended consistent with a comprehensive loan policy that governs advance rates, maturities and acceptable collateral. The Company's loan policy grants lending authority using a tiered schedule that grants authority to officers based on certain risk parameters including the collateral type. The Executive Loan Committee must approve loans exceeding officer authority and exhibiting certain risk parameters. Exceptions to the policy must be recommended by the applicable officer and approved by either a Division President or the Credit Administrator within their authority and approved by the Executive Loan Committee of the Bank's Board of Directors. COMMERCIAL LOANS Commercial loan products include short-term loans and lines of credit for working capital purposes. These loans are generally secured by the borrower's current assets, typically accounts receivables and inventory. Other commercial loan products include intermediate term loans for farm and non-farm equipment, crop loans and SBA guaranteed loans. SBA guaranteed loans include secured and unsecured loans for working capital, business expansion and purchases of equipment and machinery. Lines of credit are subject to annual review and approval, generally no later than 120 days after the closing of the customer's fiscal year-end. Advances are typically limited to 75% of eligible accounts receivable and up to 50% on inventory. These credits are usually monitored through the review of a receivables aging report and borrowing base report. 4 Term loans having maturities greater than one year are generally secured by equipment or rolling stock with advances limited to no more than 75% of cost. In virtually all cases, the Bank requires the personal guaranty of the owners or major shareholders of the borrower. Agricultural loans are granted to experienced farmers with demonstrated capabilities, acceptable historical cash flows, reasonable cash flow projections and adequate secondary sources of repayment. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS The Company's commercial real estate lending products include: construction loans, mini-permanent and permanent financing for commercial properties, acquisition and development loans for residential and commercial property developers and investment property financing. Construction loan borrowers are generally required to provide equity equal to at least 20% of the total cost of the construction project before the Company will advance funds on the loan. The Company advances funds pursuant to a draw schedule and makes inspections prior to each draw request. The Company's construction lending requirements also may include a plan and cost review, depending on the complexity of the project. The plan and cost review and the inspections are out-sourced by the Company to qualified professionals. Mini-permanent and permanent financing loans are owner occupied projects which demonstrate proven cash flows that result in a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1, based on a twenty-year amortization. Mini-permanent loan amortization may be as long as twenty-five years, but normally requires balloon maturities within five to eight years. The Company extends acquisition and development loans to borrowers who have historically fulfilled their financial obligations. The relevant acquisition or development project must demonstrate acceptable absorption periods and should have an equity investment of at least 20% of the total project costs. Such loans typically mature within thirty months. Loans on investment property are subject to the same underwriting criteria as mini-permanent loans and include a threshold debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1. RESIDENTIAL AND CONSUMER LOANS Consumer lending products include open- and closed-ended home equity and home improvement loans, automobile, boat, and recreational vehicle loans and loans for other asset purchases. The Company offers Visa and MasterCard credit and debit card products to consumers and commercial customers. Credit cards are originated in conjunction with a separate financial institution through which the company has a contractual relationship. Credit decisions and credit risk are handled entirely by the third party institution. The Company continues to carry the receivables on card balances generated prior to the initiation of this relationship. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower, the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Specifically, the lender reviews a credit bureau report for the borrower's credit history and calculates a debt-to-income ratio based on the borrower's gross monthly income to fixed debt payments. A ratio higher than 40% is generally considered unacceptable. For automobile loans, the policy requires a minimum down payment of 10% with maturities based on the age of the vehicle. The Company offers a variety of 1-4 family residential loan products, including residential construction loans and residential acquisition financing. Residential construction financing typically includes a construction loan agreement with a construction draw schedule and third party inspections. A commitment for permanent financing is required prior to closing. Typical residential construction loans mature within six to twelve months. The Company offers a construction/permanent package loan product in instances where the Company acts as the permanent lender. Residential loans are originated for the Company's portfolio, as well as for sale in the secondary market. The maximum loan amount is based on a loan to 5 value ratio of 80% or less, where the value is equal to the lesser of the cost or the appraised value. A higher loan to value ratio is available when private mortgage insurance can be obtained. Most of these loans are originated for sale in the secondary market and are sold on a servicing released basis. The Company services loans originated for its portfolio. LOAN REVIEW AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS The Company's loan review officer is independent of the loan production and administration process. The loan review officer has the responsibility to perform timely reviews of portfolio credits with scope and assessment criteria comparable to that of the Bank's regulators. All new and renewed secured credits over $500,000 and unsecured credits over $100,000 are reviewed. Additionally, a comprehensive annual review is conducted on all credits over $750,000, past dues, non-performing assets and other real estate owned. Loan operations personnel review smaller credits utilizing pre-determined standards, which include documentation and compliance, with exceptions referred to the loan review officer. Problem credits, which include all non-performing assets, are reviewed at least quarterly with written documentation that includes the reason for the problem, collateral support, a plan for resolution of the problem and a time frame for the resolution. Delinquent loans are reviewed at least weekly and monitored by the Board of Directors of the Bank. A written report is developed on the findings of the various loan review functions and reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which meets quarterly. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed monthly in order to make the appropriate loan loss provision based on the loan review findings, delinquency trends, historical loan losses and current economic trends. INVESTMENT SERVICES During 2001, the Company launched its CNB Financial Services unit, which is geared toward offering customers an alternative investment vehicle to bank products. These services are being offered through a relationship with Raymond James and are being sold through brokers who are employed by the Bank. It is expected that this business line will offer complementary alternatives to customer funds and will allow the Bank to continue earning fee income on relationships that may have otherwise left the Bank. Customer balances related to CNB Financial Services are not recorded in the financial statements of the Company since the accounts are held with Raymond James. The Company earns fees based upon the level of funds invested with Raymond James that were originated through CNB Financial Services. This business unit is in the start-up phase and did not materially contribute to the Company's results of operations during 2001. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Bank's asset/liability policy is carried out through the Bank's risk management function. The Bank manages asset growth, liquidity and capital in order to maximize income and reduce interest rate risk. The risk management group reviews and discusses the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to outstanding and nonperforming loans, and other variables, such as expected loan demand, investment opportunities, core deposit growth within specified categories, regulatory changes, monetary policy adjustments and the overall state of the economy. INVESTMENT POLICY The Bank's investment portfolio policy is to maximize income consistent with liquidity, asset quality, regulatory constraints and asset/liability objectives. The Bank invests primarily in direct obligations of the United States, obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States and obligations of agencies of the United States. In addition, the Bank enters into federal funds transactions with its principal correspondent banks. Other investments consist primarily of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock that are required for the Bank to be a member of, and to conduct business with, such institutions. Dividends on such investments are determined by the institutions and are payable semi-annually or quarterly. 6 COMPETITION Within each market in which the Company operates (collectively, the "Markets"), there are competing financial institutions consisting primarily of other commercial banks, savings and loan offices and credit unions. Certain non-bank financial institutions affiliated with Florida banks or thrift institutions offer limited financial services, including lending and deposit gathering activities. The Bank also competes for deposits and loans with brokerage firms, mobile home lenders, consumer finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage banking companies, money market mutual funds and other financial institutions. In addition, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking and Branching Act") has removed substantially all state barriers to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding companies. In addition, certain out-of-state bank holding companies have entered the Florida banking market by acquiring failing thrift institutions and commercial banks. Florida banks and bank holding companies also may enter the Markets by acquiring a financial institution, by establishing de novo branches or by forming de novo banks within the market. Competition for deposit and loan business in the Markets will continue to be intense because of existing competitors, the accelerating pace of product deregulation and the likelihood of expansion into the Markets by other institutions. Many of these institutions have significantly greater financial resources than the Company. To compete, the Bank relies on specialized services, responsive handling of customer needs, customer contact by Bank officers, directors and staff, and the appeal of a locally-owned, relationship-driven institution. HISTORICAL GROWTH The Bank has operated in Lake City, Columbia County, Florida since its organization in 1986. In January 1987 the Company was formed as a bank holding company to facilitate expansion opportunities. In 1988, the Company organized Citizens Bank of Live Oak ("Citizens") and in 1990 opened its first de novo branch in Fort White. In 1992 and 1993, the Bank acquired additional banking offices in Macclenny, Lake City and Live Oak from Anchor Savings Bank. The Company consummated its first merger with another bank holding company on April 1, 1994, when Bradford Bankshares ("Bradford") combined with the Company resulting in a branch in Starke, Florida. On August 31, 1996, Riherd Bank Holding Company ("Riherd") merged with the Company. The Riherd merger resulted in three additional offices for the Bank, one of which is located in Lake Butler, Florida and two in Gainesville. Both the Bradford and the Riherd transactions were accounted for as purchase transactions. In August 1997, the Bank opened its eleventh office, located in Lake City, and in June 1999 expanded into Jacksonville with its twelfth office. The Bank opened its second Jacksonville branch in February 2001, and opened a St. Augustine branch in June 2001. In May 2001, the Bank purchased the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank. In connection with the transaction, the Bank closed one of its existing Live Oak locations. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2001, the Bank had 246 full-time equivalent employees. The Company's operations are conducted through the Bank and, consequently, the Company does not have any separate employees. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION GENERAL As a registered bank holding company, the Company is subject to the supervision of, and regular inspection by, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (the "Federal Reserve") under the BHC Act. The Bank is organized as a national banking association, which is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Comptroller. The Bank is also subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and other federal regulatory agencies. In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to various other laws and regulations and supervision and examination by other regulatory agencies, all of which directly or indirectly affect the operations and management of the Company and the Bank and their ability to make distributions. The following discussion summarizes certain aspects of those laws and 7 regulations that affect the Company and the Bank. The Holding Company is regulated by the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act which requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, and before merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve (pursuant to regulation and published policy statement) 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 policy, the Holding Company may be required to provide financial support for a subsidiary bank at a time where absent such Federal Reserve policy, the Holding Company may not deem it advisable to provide such assistance. Until March 2000, a bank holding company was generally prohibited from acquiring control of any company which was not a bank and from engaging in any business other than the business of banking or managing and controlling banks. In April 1997, the Federal Reserve revised and expanded the list of permissible non-banking activities in which a bank holding company could engage. However, limitations continue to exist under certain laws and regulations. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repeals certain regulations pertaining to bank holding companies and eliminates many of the previous prohibitions. Specifically, Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repeals Sections 20 and 32 of Glass-Steagall Act (12 U.S.C. 377 and 78, respectively) and is intended to facilitate affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance firms and other financial companies. To further this goal, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act amends Section 4 of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1843) to authorize bank holding companies and foreign banks that qualify as "financial holding companies" to engage in securities, insurance and other activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. The activities of bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies will continue to be limited to activities authorized currently under the BHC Act, such as activities that the Federal Reserve previously has determined in regulations and orders issued under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act to be closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies. Pursuant to the Interstate Banking and Branching Act, bank holding companies are able to acquire banks in states other than their respective home states, without regard to the permissibility of such acquisitions under state laws. The transaction would still be subject to any state requirement that the Bank has been organized and operating for a minimum period of time, not to exceed five years, and the requirement that the respective bank holding company, prior to or following the proposed acquisition, controls no more than 10% of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United States and less than 30% of such deposits in that state (or such lesser or greater amount set by state law). The Interstate Banking and Branching Act also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, thereby creating interstate branches. Florida does not prohibit interstate branching within the state. Furthermore, pursuant to the Interstate Banking and Branching Act, a bank is now able to open new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations if such state enacts a law permitting de novo branching. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and before the various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any such proposals or bills being enacted and the impact they might have on the Company and the Bank cannot be determined at this time. CAPITAL AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS The Federal Reserve, the Comptroller and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. The Federal Reserve risk-based guidelines define a two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying preferred shareholders' equity, less certain intangibles and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of subordinated and other qualifying debt, and the allowance for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries represents qualifying total capital, at least 50% of which must consist of Tier 1 capital. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one of four categories of risk weights, based primarily on relative credit risk. The minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 4% and the minimum total capital ratio is 8%. 8 The Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios under these guidelines at December 31, 2001, were 8.0% and 9.0%, respectively. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets. Although the stated minimum ratio is 3%, most banking organizations are required to maintain ratios of at least 100 to 200 basis points above 3%. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 2001 was 6.5%. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), among other things, identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized), and requires the respective federal regulatory agencies to implement systems for "prompt corrective action" for insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements within such categories. FDICIA imposes progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital distributions, depending on the category in which an institution is classified. Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also subject a banking institution to capital raising requirements. An "undercapitalized" bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent holding company must guarantee that bank's compliance with the plan. The liability of the parent holding company under any such guarantee is limited to the lesser of 5% of the bank's assets at the time it became "undercapitalized" or the amount needed to comply with the plan. Furthermore, in the event of bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take priority over the parent's general unsecured creditors. In addition, FDICIA requires the various regulatory agencies to prescribe certain non-capital standards for safety and soundness related generally to operations and management, asset quality and executive compensation and permits regulatory action against a financial institution that does not meet such standards. The various regulatory agencies have adopted substantially similar regulations that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA, using the total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios as the relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various degrees of corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered undercapitalized. Under the regulations, a "well capitalized" institution must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a capital directive order. An "adequately capitalized" institution must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least 8% and a leverage ratio of at least 4%, or 3% in some cases. Banking agencies have also adopted regulations which mandate that regulators take into consideration concentrations of credit risk and risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage those risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution's capital. That evaluation will be made as a part of the institution's regular safety and soundness examination. Banking agencies also have adopted final regulations requiring regulators to consider interest rate risk (when the interest rate sensitivity of an institution's assets does not match the sensitivity of its liabilities or its off-balance sheet position) in the determination of a bank's capital adequacy. Concurrently, banking agencies have proposed a methodology for evaluating interest rate risk. After gaining experience with the proposed measurement process, those banking agencies intend to propose further regulations to establish an explicit risk-based capital charge for interest rate risk. DISTRIBUTIONS The Company's primary source of funds for cash distributions to its shareholders is dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various general regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal regulatory authority is authorized to determine under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of the bank or bank holding company that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment of dividends. In addition to the foregoing, the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends may be affected by the various minimum capital requirements and the capital and non-capital standards established under FDICIA, as described above. The right of the Company, its shareholders and its creditors to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Bank is further subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank.

PART II MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of March 15, 2002, there were 6,097,953 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 518,838 shares subject to currently exercisable options. On January 29, 1999, the Company's common stock began trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "CNBB", resulting from the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the Company's initial public offering at $10.25 per common share. Proceeds from the offering net of underwriting discount and expenses totaled $11.4 million. The Company contributed $10.0 million of the $11.4 million net proceeds from the offering to CNB National Bank in February 1999. There is no trading information for any prior years, since there was not an established market for the Company's common stock. See Table 12: "Selected Quarterly Data" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition for the quarterly market price for the last two fiscal years. Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2001 was $46.7 million, as compared to $44.6 million at December 31, 2000. On July 15, 1998, the Company declared a two-for-one stock split for shareholders of record on August 10, 1998, effective August 17, 1998. Company dividends for 2000 and 2001 consisted of the payment of quarterly cash dividends in the amount of $0.05 per common share. The Company's ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock depends significantly on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company in amounts sufficient to service its obligations. Such obligations include interest payments on outstanding long-term debt and may include an obligation to make any payments with respect to securities issued in the future which have an equal or greater dividend preference to the Common Stock. The Bank may also issue additional capital stock or incur indebtedness, subject to certain borrowing covenants outlined in the Company's line of credit agreement, as amended, entered into with another bank during 2001 (see Management's Discussion and Analysis - Item 7 of Part II). Furthermore, the regulations of the Comptroller, regulatory capital levels and the net income of the Bank determine its ability to pay dividends or make other capital distributions. 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS CNB FLORIDA BANCSHARES, INC.

14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Forward-Looking Statements This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties which are described in this Annual Report and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The actual results of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "CNB") may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions, changes in the interest rate environment that may reduce margins, general economic or business conditions in the Company's markets that lead to a deterioration in credit quality or reduced loan demand, legislative or regulatory changes and competitors of the Company that may have greater financial resources and develop products or services that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than the Company. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements include customer acceptance of new products and services, changes in customer spending and saving habits and the Company's success in managing costs associated with expansion. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Selected Historical Financial Information and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, which are included in this Form 10-K. Overview The following analysis reviews important factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. for the periods shown. This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. This discussion should facilitate a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect the Company's financial condition and earnings performance, and how the Company's performance during 2001 compares with prior years. Throughout this section, CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, CNB National Bank, are referred to as "CNB" or "the Company". On January 29, 1999, CNB completed its initial public offering and its common stock began trading on the NASDAQ National Market, giving CNB shareholders greater access to purchasing or selling shares of common stock. In addition, CNB obtained additional capital to support its expansion plans, as well as for general corporate purposes. The Company contributed as capital to CNB National Bank $10.0 million of the $11.4 million net proceeds from the offering in February 1999. The Company is pleased with the progress made toward its strategic growth initiatives in 2001. Expansion activities were completed with the opening of a second Jacksonville branch (Mandarin) in the first quarter of 2001 and the opening of the St. Augustine branch (US 1 and SR 312) in the second quarter of 2001. On May 11, 2001, the Bank purchased the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank. The Bank acquired loans, deposits and premises and equipment of approximately $12 million, $62 million and $2 million, respectively. The Bank also recorded a core deposit intangible of $6 million, which is being amortized over its estimated life of 10 years. The Bank completed the purchase of unimproved land located on US 90 in Glen St. Mary in August 2001 with plans of opening a new branch in late 2002. With the conversion to an improved data processing platform during the fourth quarter of 2000 and the move into the expanded Operations Center in the first half of 2001, operational support to our growth initiatives will become more customer focused and cost-efficient. The Company officially relocated its corporate offices to Jacksonville, Florida effective January 2001. Operational headquarters for CNB National Bank 15 continue to be located in Lake City. Results of Operations For 2001, the Company's earnings were $2.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $2.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, and $2.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in 2000 and 1999, respectively. These results reflect growth in net interest income and non-interest income. Non-interest expenses continue to reflect the Company's strategy to expand the CNB franchise into new markets. Total assets increased to $612.0 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $467.6 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of 31%. Included in the results for 2001 is the impact of the acquisition of the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank in May 2001. Net Interest Income/Margins Net interest income is the single largest source of revenue for the Bank and consists of interest and fee income generated by earning assets, less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. The Company's main objective is to manage its assets and liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit quality, liquidity and capital risks. Net interest income was $20.8 million for 2001, compared to $17.3 million and $14.7 million for the comparable prior year periods of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increases were due to loan and deposit growth, partially offset by the impact of lower rates during 2001. Average loan growth in 2001 of 47% contributed to a $8.4 million, or 26% increase in interest income over 2000. Increases in time, money market and interest bearing deposits, including those accounts acquired from Republic Bank, were the main contributors in the $135.9 million, or 44%, growth in average interest bearing liabilities. The Company's net interest margin decreased to 4.09% in 2001, compared to 4.75% in 2000. The decline in the margin is reflective of a drop in the federal funds overnight borrowing rate of 475 basis points in 2001 coupled with an increase in higher-cost deposits. Table 1 presents a comparative earning asset composition as well as earning asset yields and interest bearing liability rates for 2001, 2000 and 1999. Table 1a shows the changes in net interest income by category due to shifts in volume and rates for years presented. 16 Table 1: Average Balances - Yields and Rates December 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 December 31, 1999 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Interest Interest Interest Average Income or Average Average Income or Average Average Income or Average Balance Expense Rate Balance Expense Rate Balance Expense Rate --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- (dollars in thousands) ASSETS: Federal Funds Sold $ 2,773 $ 102 3.68 % $ 3,429 $ 208 6.07 % $ 13,285 $ 643 4.84 % Investment Securities Available for Sale 33,167 1,864 5.62 33,314 2,110 6.33 45,082 2,671 5.92 Investment Securities Held to Maturity 6,278 384 6.12 9,869 572 5.80 9,151 504 5.51 Loans (1) 465,551 38,055 8.17 317,491 29,112 9.17 215,861 19,412 8.99 Interest Bearing Deposits 401 12 2.99 895 59 6.59 10,533 528 5.01 --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- TOTAL EARNING ASSETS 508,170 40,417 7.95 364,998 32,061 8.78 293,912 23,758 8.08 All Other Assets 47,705 38,278 27,543 --------- --------- --------- TOTAL ASSETS $555,875 $403,276 $321,455 ========= ========= ========= LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: NOW & Money Markets $148,026 3,899 2.63 % $110,387 3,731 3.38 % $ 80,132 1,749 2.18 % Savings 18,707 196 1.05 17,095 238 1.39 17,445 245 1.40 Time Deposits 235,010 13,656 5.81 151,674 9,019 5.95 131,548 6,731 5.12 Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements 14,609 552 3.78 9,565 572 5.98 6,947 327 4.71 Short Term Borrowings 20,932 1,061 5.07 17,377 1,176 6.77 - - - Other Borrowings 4,667 265 5.68 - - - - - - --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- --------- ---------- -------- TOTAL INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES 441,951 19,629 4.44 306,098 14,736 4.81 236,072 9,052 3.83 Demand Deposits 64,337 49,418 40,761 Other Liabilities 3,838 4,117 2,813 Shareholders' Equity 45,749 43,643 41,809 --------- --------- --------- TOTAL LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY $555,875 $403,276 $321,455 ========= ========= ========= ---- ---- ---- INTEREST SPREAD (2) 3.51 % 3.97 % 4.25 % ==== ==== ==== ------ ------ ------ NET INTEREST INCOME $20,788 $17,325 $14,706 ====== ====== ====== NET INTEREST MARGIN (3) 4.09 % 4.75 % 5.00 % ====== ====== ====== ------------------------------------------------- (1) Interest income on average loans includes loan fee recognition of $979,000, $969,000 and $697,000 in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively.

(2) The rate variance reflects the change in the actual average rate multiplied by the average balance outstanding during the prior period. Changes which are not solely due to volume changes or solely due to rate changes have been attributed to rate changes.
Non-Interest Income Non-interest income totaled $5.6 million in 2001, an increase of 69% from the $3.3 million in 2000, and a 13% increase from 1999. Service charges on deposit account increased $358,000 or 16% in 2001, compared with $119,000 or 6% in 2000. Other non-interest income, which includes credit card fees, credit life insurance income, safe deposit box fees, fees from secondary market mortgage loan sales, net gains and losses from sale of securities and other miscellaneous fees, increased $1.9 million in 2001 compared to $267,000 in 2000. The increase in other fee income in 2001 was primarily attributed to growth in secondary market mortgage loan sales, which is reflective of a ramping up of the Company's mortgage loan origination operations. Mortgage loan originations also benefited from the declining rate environment during 2001. Non-interest income as a percentage of average assets was 1.01% in 2001 compared to 0.83% and 0.92% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased by $4.4 million, or 28%, for 2001, compared to an increase of $3.5 million, or 29%, for 2000. During 2001, non-interest expenses as a percentage of average assets decreased to 3.57%, compared to 3.84% and 3.73% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits for 2001 increased $1.7 million from 2000 compared to $2.1 million from 1999. The increase from 2000 to 2001 reflects the opening of two new branches in the First Coast market, the purchase of the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank and increases in operational headcount to support the Company's expansion strategy. As a percentage of average total assets, salaries and employee benefits have decreased to 1.84% in 2001 compared to 2.12% and 2.01% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. 18 Occupancy expenses (including furniture, fixtures & equipment) increased to $3.1 million in 2001 compared to $2.2 million in 2000 and $1.8 million in 1999. The major factors affecting the increase in occupancy expenses relate to lease expense, higher real estate taxes, utilities and depreciation on furniture and equipment for the new branches opened in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, the two branches purchased from Republic Bank, the relocation during 2000 into new facilities in Jacksonville and Gainesville and the expansion of the Lake City Operations Center. CNB continues to monitor and assess its facility and equipment needs as it positions itself for future growth and expansion. Other operating expenses at CNB increased 37% in 2001 compared to 2000 and 27% in 2000 compared to 1999. The increase in 2001 was attributable to: (1) an increase in postage and delivery expense of $120,000, primarily due to additional courier runs resulting from additional branches; (2) an increase of $174,000 in supplies, with the major contributing factors being start-up cost at new branches and general growth in business; (3) an increase of $146,000 in marketing expense due to the Company's advertising and promotion efforts in new and established markets; (4) an increase of $131,000 in legal and professional costs; (5) an increase of $454,000 in data processing fees resulting from the conversion to an improved data processing platform and (6) amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible from the Republic Bank acquisition. The main contributing factors to the increase in other operating expenses in 2000 was an increase in postage and delivery due to additional courier runs and an increase of $161,000 in communication costs due to expansion. Other contributing reasons were increases in legal and professional fees and marketing expense. The following table details the areas of significance in other operating expenses. Table 2: Other Operating Expenses (Dollar amounts in thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- Data processing $ 1,104 $ 650 $ 590 Advertising and promotion 687 541 354 Postage and delivery 671 551 468 Legal and professional 618 487 327 Telephone 595 584 423 Supplies 578 404 299 Amortization of intangible assets 543 179 179 Regulatory fees 255 149 143 Loan expenses 248 194 165 Administrative 211 196 182 Insurance and bonding 105 89 72 Education expense 101 62 53 Dues and subscriptions 100 103 78 Director fees 70 72 57 Other general operating 67 174 52 Other 518 287 281 --- --- --- Total other operating expenses $ 6,471 $ 4,722 $ 3,723 ===== ===== ===== Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2001 was 35.1%, compared to 34.6% for 2000 and 34.7% for 1999. The consolidated provision for income taxes increased to $1.6 million in 2001, compared to $1.3 million in 2000 and $1.6 million in 1999. 19 Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Liquidity is defined as the ability of the Company to meet anticipated demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost on a timely basis. Management measures the Company's liquidity position by giving consideration to both on-and off- balance sheet sources of and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis. These funds can be obtained by converting assets to cash or by attracting new deposits. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale) totaled $55.0 million and represented 11.8% of average total deposits during 2001, compared to $54.4 million and 16.5% for 2000. The Company's loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2001 was 98%, compared to 104% at the end of 2000. In addition to core deposit growth, sources of funds available to meet liquidity demands include cash received through ordinary business activities such as the collection of interest and fees, federal funds sold, loan and investment maturities and lines for the purchase of federal funds by the Company from its principal correspondent banks. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank and has access to short-term and long-term funds. In addition, the Company entered into a line of credit with one of its correspondent banks in April 2001. The agreement was amended in October 2001 to reflect the following structures: (1) a $3 million revolving line of credit maturing on June 30, 2002 with interest floating quarterly at 3-month Libor plus 145 basis points; and (2) a $10 million term loan maturing October 3, 2006 with interest floating quarterly at 3-month Libor plus 170 basis points. Semi-annual principal payments of approximately $714,000 begin in 2004. The Company also entered into a $10 million pay-fixed interest rate swap with the same bank. The fixed rate under the interest rate swap is 6.45% and the variable rate is based on 3-month Libor plus 170 basis points. The swap matures October 3, 2006 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on the $10 million term loan noted in (2) above. The fair value of the interest rate swap at December 31, 2001 was approximately $9,000. There are no amounts outstanding on the $3 million line of credit. The term loan, line of credit and interest rate swap are collateralized by 100% of the common stock of the Bank. In connection with the term loan and line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. The following financial covenants are to be maintained on a quarterly basis and are calculated at the Bank-level: o Interest coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 2.00x through September 30, 2003. o Debt service coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 0.85x through September 30, 2002; 1.00x from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003; 1.25x from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004; and 1.50x from October 1, 2004 through maturity. o Ratio of non-performing assets to total loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed assets of less than or equal to 1.25%. o Maintenance of tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios that meet the benchmarks for consideration as a "well-capitalized" institution (currently 8% and 10%, respectively). Also, maintenance of a leverage capital ratio of greater than 6%. In addition, the Company is subject to the following restrictions: o No additional debt is permitted without consent of the lender. o No increases in dividends paid by the Company to its common shareholders are permitted without consent of the lender. Failure to maintain any of these covenants would place the Company in default of the line of credit agreement. In such a case, absent any waivers obtained from the lender, all amounts payable could be accelerated and become due immediately. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. The level of commitments to fund additional borrowings and standby letters of credit also impacts the Company's liquidity position. These commitments, when drawn, are generally funded through deposit inflows, loan and investment maturities, interest receipts and, to the extent necessary, short term purchases of federal funds. The Company's borrowing capacity under the FHLB is also 20 available to fulfill commitments to lend. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation in the same manner as though an immediate credit extension were to be granted. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit amount to approximately $122,000,000 and $7,373,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and expire as outlined in the table below (in thousands): Unfunded Standby Commitments Letters of Credit ----------- ----------------- 2002 $ 37,413 $ 5,947 2003 21,587 1,366 2004 22,122 60 2005 9,479 - 2006 7,227 - Thereafter 24,172 - ---------- ---------- $ 122,000 $ 7,373 ========== ========== Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. The rate sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, at a given time interval, including both floating rate instruments and instruments that are approaching maturity. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize the overall interest rate risks to the Company. The Company's gap and liquidity positions are reviewed on a regular basis by management to determine whether or not changes in policies and procedures are necessary to achieve financial goals. Included in the review is an internal analysis of the possible impact on net interest income due to market changes in interest rates. Based on this internal analysis, at December 31, 2001, a gradual increase in interest rates of 200 basis points would have increased net interest income over the ensuing twelve-month period by 1.09%. A gradual decrease in interest rates of 200 basis points over this same period would have decreased net interest income by 1.11% as compared to a stable rate environment. A similar 200 basis point increase (decrease) would have decreased (increased) the Bank's market value of equity by 2.36% and (1.86%), respectively. Market value of equity is defined as the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company's assets less the estimated fair value of liabilities. Table 3, "Rate Sensitivity Analysis" presents rate sensitive assets and liabilities, separating fixed and variable interest rate categories. The estimated fair value of each instrument category is also shown in the table. While these fair values are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have disposed of such instruments on December 31, 2001, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. 21 Table 3: Rate Sensitivity Analysis December 31, 2001 (Dollars in thousands) Fair 1 Year 2 Years 3 Years 4 Years 5 Years Beyond TOTAL Value ------ ------- ------- ------- ------- ------ ----- ----- INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS: ------------------------ Gross Loans Fixed Rate Loans $ 65,019 $ 44,252 $ 38,787 $ 29,833 $ 30,800 $ 78,478 $ 287,169 $ 296,753 Average Interest Rate 8.06% 8.34% 8.27% 8.56% 8.09% 7.60% 8.06% Variable Rate Loans 78,389 28,740 16,976 17,458 11,432 81,391 234,386 241,228 Average Interest Rate 5.50% 5.40% 5.90% 5.78% 6.17% 7.67% 6.32% Investment Securities(1) Fixed Rate Investments 3,060 - 18,136 - 4,060 6,630 31,886 32,380 Average Interest Rate 2.56% 5.63% 6.15% 4.80% 5.23% Variable Rate Investments - - - - - 820 820 833 Average Interest Rate 6.20% 6.20% Federal Funds Sold 2,100 - - - - - 2,100 2,100 Average Interest Rate 1.97% 1.97% Other Earning Assets(2) 4,431 - - - - - 4,431 4,431 Average Interest Rate 5.88% 5.88% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Total Interest-Earning Assets $ 152,999 $ 72,992 $ 73,899 $ 47,291 $ 46,292 $ 167,319 $ 560,792 $ 577,725 Average Interest Rate 6.49% 7.18% 7.08% 7.53% 7.45% 7.52% 7.13% ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== =========== INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES: ----------------------------- NOW $ 43,313 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 61,844 $ 105,157 $ 105,157 Average Interest Rate 2.33% 0.50% 2.39% Money Market 62,198 - - - - 3,890 66,088 66,088 Average Interest Rate 3.25% 1.46% 3.14% Savings - - - - - 20,250 20,250 20,250 Average Interest Rate 0.75% 0.75% CD's Under $100,000 131,974 9,929 8,760 2,078 245 - 152,986 154,191 Average Interest Rate 4.53% 4.84% 4.34% 4.62% 4.52% 4.54% CD's $100,000 and Over 105,089 4,829 5,009 624 - - 115,551 116,726 Average Interest Rate 4.83% 5.21% 4.63% 6.54% 4.85% Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements and Federal Funds Purchased 18,148 - - - - - 18,148 18,148 Average Interest Rate 1.62% 1.62% Other Borrowings(3) - - - - 10,000 - 10,000 10,000 Average Interest Rate 4.30% 4.30% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------- Total Interest-Bearing Liabilities$ 360,722 $ 14,758 $ 13,769 $ 2,702 $ 10,245 $ 85,984 $ 488,180 $ 490,560 Average Interest Rate 3.99% 4.96% 4.45% 5.06% 4.31% 0.60% 3.45% ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== =========== ----------------------------- (1) Securities available for sale are shown at their amortized cost, excluding market value adjustment for net un realized gains of $510,000.

The variable interest payments on the term loan are being hedged through an interest rate swap. Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest of 6.45% and receives a floating rate of interest of 3-month Libor plus 170 basis points. Other terms of the swap mirror those of the term debt.
22 Core deposits, which represent all deposits other than time deposits in excess of $100,000, averaged 80% of total average deposits in 2001 and 83% in 2000. The Company closely monitors its reliance on time deposits in excess of $100,000. The Bank does not nor has it ever solicited brokered deposits. Table 4 sets forth the amounts of time deposits with balances of $100,000 or more that mature within indicated periods.

Although management is continually evaluating alternative sources of revenue, lending is the major segment of the Company's business and is key to profitability. Average loans for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $465.6 million, or 92% of average earning assets as compared to $317.5 million, or 87% of average earning assets for 2000. The commercial loan portfolio includes commercial, financial and agricultural loans as well as commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2001, the commercial loan portfolio comprised 54% of total loans compared to 51% in 2000. During 2001, commercial loans experienced their strongest growth in the Company's history. This growth was primarily centered in our expansion markets. During 2001, real estate mortgages experienced significant growth of $37.2 million, or 31%. As of December 31, 2001, the real estate mortgage loan portfolio (including loans held for sale) was 30% of total loans compared to 32% in 2000. As of December 31, 2001 the Company had total gross loans of $521.6 million, compared to $380.8 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $140.7 million or 37%. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio for the past five years is presented in Table 5.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist where there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which collectively would be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions and when the total of such amounts exceed 25% of total capital. Due to the lack of diversified industry and the relative proximity of markets served, the Company has concentrations in geographic as well as in types of loans funded. The Bank's four largest concentration categories are: Land Development, Commercial Real Estate, Professional and Residential Real Estate. Loan Quality Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned and repossessions. Non-performing assets increased from $1.5 million at December 31, 2000 to $2.9 million at December 31, 2001. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.47% in 2001 from 0.32% in 2000. The increase in non-performing assets is attributed to continued seasoning of the Company's loan portfolio, particularly in the newer markets, and the general decline in economic activity during 2001. Management is continually analyzing its loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve its problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. Table 7 sets forth certain categories of risk elements on non-performing assets for the past five years.

24 The allowance for loan loss is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The evaluation of collectibility takes into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, levels maintained by other peer banks and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. The determination of the allowance for loan losses considers both specifically identified impaired loans, as well as expected losses on large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. The level of the allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding, since either more or less allowance is required as the amount of the Company's credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management's estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates or the mix of loan types changes, the level of the provision for loan loss, and related allowance, can and will fluctuate. The allowance for loan losses on December 31, 2001, was $5.2 million, or 1.00% of total loans outstanding, net of unearned income compared to $3.7 million, or 0.96% on December 31, 2000. Table 8: "Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses," set forth below, indicates the specific reserves allocated by loan type.

Investment Portfolio The Company uses its securities portfolio to assist in maintaining proper interest rate sensitivity in the balance sheet, to provide securities to pledge as collateral for public funds and repurchase agreements, and to provide an alternative investment for available funds. The total recorded value of securities was $37.1 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of 9% from $40.7 million at December 31, 2000. Securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale and are recorded at amortized cost and fair market value, respectively. Securities available-for-sale, which made up 89% of the total investment portfolio at December 31, 2001, had a value of $33.0 million. Securities in the available-for-sale portfolio are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet and unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At December 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive income included a net unrealized gain of $326,000, compared to a $33,000 net unrealized loss at December 31, 2000. As a percent of total earning assets, the investment portfolio has decreased to a level of 7% at December 31, 2001 compared to 10% at the end of 2000. The decrease in the size of the portfolio relative to total earning assets is directly related to the increase in loan growth. The Company invests primarily in direct obligations of the United States, obligations guaranteed as to the principal and interest by the United States and obligations of agencies of the United States. In addition, the Company enters 26 into federal funds transactions with its principal correspondent banks.

In 2001, the Board of Directors declared dividends totaling $0.20 per share, consistent with 2000. At December 31, 2001, the Company's common stock had a book value of $7.64 per share compared to $7.32 per share at the end of 2000. On January 29, 1999 the Company began trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "CNBB" after issuing 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the initial public offering at $10.25 per common share. Proceeds from the offering net of underwriting discount and expenses totaled $11.4 million, which were used to support expansion plans and for general corporate purposes. The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures as defined by regulation and established to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. If such minimum amounts and ratios are met, the Bank is considered "adequately capitalized." If a bank exceeds the requirements of "adequately capitalized" and meets even more stringent minimum standards, it is considered to be "well capitalized." As of December 31, 2001, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. At December 31, 2001, the Company's Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 8.0%, 9.0% and 6.5%, respectively. Selected capital ratios at year end 2001 as compared to 2000 are shown in Table 11. Table 11: Capital Ratios December 31, Well Capitalized Regulatory 2001 2000 Requirements Minimums -------- -------- ------------ -------- Risk Based Capital Ratios: Tier 1 Capital Ratio 8.0% 11.1% 6.0% 4.0% Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 9.0% 12.0% 10.0% 8.0% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio 6.5% 9.8% 5.0% 4.0% 28 Quarterly Financial Information Table 12 sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain consolidated 2001 and 2000 quarterly financial information of the Company. This information is derived from the Company's unaudited financial statements which include, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

29 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK On January 28, 1997, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-K, Regulation S-X, and various forms (Securities Act Release No. 7386) to clarify and expand existing requirements for disclosures about derivatives and market risks inherent in derivatives and other financial instruments. As noted below, at December 31, 2001, the Company was a party to a single interest rate derivative contract. The Company also holds other financial instruments, which include investments, loans and deposit liabilities. The release requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk. See the section titled "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity" for further discussion on the Company's management of interest rate risk. The Company's sole derivative contract is a $10 million notional interest rate swap that was entered into as a hedge of interest rate risk inherent in the Company's $10 million term loan. Under the terms of the swap, the Company will receive a variable rate of interest equal to 90-day Libor plus 170 basis points, reset quarterly. The Company will pay a fixed rate of interest equal to 6.45% for the life of the contract. All cash flows are computed based on the $10 million notional amount and are settled quarterly on a net basis. The contract matures October 3, 2006 and the notional amount will be reduced by $714,286 on a semi-annual basis beginning April 2004. The fair value of the swap at December 31, 2001 was approximately $9,000. The swap is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments under the $10 million term debt. For additional information, see Notes 2 and 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Non-derivative financial instruments that have market risk are included in Table 3: "Rate Sensitivity Analysis". These instruments are shown by maturity, separated by fixed and variable interest rates. The estimated fair value of each instrument category is also shown in the table. While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have disposed of such instruments at December 31, 2001, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2001 would not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective or complex have to do with the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company's primary critical accounting policy is the establishment and maintenance of an allowance for loan loss. The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, levels maintained by other peer banks and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. The level of the allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding, since either more or less allowance is required as the amount of the Company's credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management's estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates or the mix of loan types changes, the level of the provision for loan loss, and related allowance, can and will fluctuate. The accounting for the Company's core deposit intangible asset is also subject to significant estimates about future results. In connection with the acquisition of the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank, the Company recorded a core deposit intangible of approximately $6,000,000. This intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The life of this asset was based on the estimated future period of 30 benefit to the Company of the depositor relationships acquired. To the extent that the deposit accounts acquired leave the Company faster than anticipated, the amount of the core deposit intangible that is amortized each period could increase significantly, thus shortening its useful life. Through December 31, 2001, the performance of acquired accounts did not differ materially from expectations.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 37 CNB FLORIDA BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Nature of Operations CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding company incorporated in Florida. The Company operates a wholly owned banking subsidiary, CNB National Bank (the "Bank"), which is chartered as a national bank. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and conducts business from fifteen (15) banking offices in north Florida. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company follows generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices applicable to the banking industry in the United States. Certain amounts relating to 2000 and 1999 have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale represent investment securities that are used for asset/liability management, liquidity and other funds management purposes. These securities may be sold in response to changes in interest rate risk, prepayment risk or other similar economic factors. These securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of shareholders' equity. Fair value is estimated based on dealer quotes. Held to Maturity Securities held to maturity represent investment securities where the Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income. Realized gains and losses are recognized using the specific identification method. Investment securities are periodically reviewed for other than temporary declines in value. If such a decline is determined to have occurred, the amount of the decline is transferred from other comprehensive income and immediately recorded in current period earnings. There have been no other than temporary impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. 38 Loans, Loan Fees and Interest Income Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan loss. Interest on substantially all loans other than certain installment loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amounts outstanding. Loan fees, net of loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the respective loan terms using a method that does not differ significantly from the interest method. For 2001, 2000 and 1999, net loan fees included in interest income amounted to approximately $979,000, $969,000 and $697,000, respectively. Allowance for Loan Loss The allowance for loan loss is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The evaluation of collectibility takes into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, levels maintained by other peer banks and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. The determination of the allowance for loan loss considers both specifically identified impaired loans, as well as expected losses on large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. The level of the allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding, since either more or less allowance is required as the amount of the Company's credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management's estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates or the mix of loan types changes, the level of the provision for loan loss, and related allowance, can and will fluctuate. Accrual of interest is discontinued on loans that are 90 days or more past due, unless substantially collateralized and in the process of collection, or sooner if, in the opinion of management, the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale include residential mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell in the secondary market. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Any amount by which cost exceeds market value is accounted for as a valuation allowance, with changes in the valuation allowance reflected in earnings. There were no valuation allowances at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranged from five to forty years at December 31, 2001. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are reflected in income. Long-lived assets are evaluated regularly for other-than-temporary impairment. If circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment test is performed comparing the carrying value of 39 the asset to estimated undiscounted cash flows. If assets are considered to be impaired, a charge is recorded to the extent that fair value is less than carrying value. Other Real Estate Owned Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or at fair value, less cost to sell. Intangibles The Company has intangible assets with carrying amounts of approximately $6,802,000 and $1,033,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Intangible assets consist of core deposits and goodwill of $6,156,000 and $646,000, respectively. Core deposit intangibles are being amortized over a 10-year period using the straight-line method. Goodwill is being amortized over a 15-year period on a straight-line method. Amortization of goodwill was approximately $70,000 for 2001, 2000 and 1999. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangibles was $473,000, $109,000 and $109,000 for 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. Periodically, the Company reviews its intangible assets for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets are not recoverable. As noted in Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles ("SFAS 142") on January 1, 2002. As a result, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but instead will be periodically evaluated for impairment. Interest Rate Contract As more fully described in Note 8, "Other Borrowings," during 2001 the Company entered into a pay-fixed interest rate contract as a hedge of interest rate risk related to a term loan entered into with a bank. The interest rate contract is accounted for under the provision of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, which requires all derivatives to be stated at fair value and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2001. Because the Company was not a party to derivative contracts at adoption of this standard, the adoption did not have a material impact of the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Upon entering into the interest rate swap, the contract was designated as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted variable interest payments to be made under the term loan. The interest rate swap is recorded in the financial statements at fair value, with changes in value reflected in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate contract are reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense when the hedged transaction impacts earnings. The effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated at least every three months. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2001. The interest rate contract had an unrealized gain, net of taxes, at December 31, 2001 of $6,000. Of this amount, approximately $147,000 of pre-tax expense is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense over the next twelve months. This estimate is based on market interest rates on December 31, 2001 and is subject to variability to the extent interest rates fluctuate over this time period. 40 Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company and the Bank file consolidated federal and state income tax returns. Under a tax-sharing arrangement, income tax charges or credits are generally allocated to the Company and the Bank on the basis of their respective taxable income or loss that is included in the consolidated income tax return, as determined by the separate return method. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents are determined using the treasury method for diluted shares outstanding. The difference between diluted and basic shares outstanding is common stock equivalents from stock options and restricted stock outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Supplemental Cash Flow Information For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods and all cash equivalents have an original maturity of 90 days or less. Cash paid for interest was approximately $19,029,000, $13,330,000 and $9,206,000 during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and cash paid for income taxes was approximately $2,025,000, $1,759,000 and $1,720,000 during 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 141 to any future acquisitions. In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization and includes provisions for reassessment of the useful lives of existing intangibles and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a two-step transitional goodwill impairment test. The first step of the impairment test must be completed six months from the date of adoption and the second step must be completed as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the year of initial application. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In addition, the Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of 2002 and determined that goodwill at transition was not impaired. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded goodwill amortization expense of $70,000. 41 In July 2001, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102, Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues. SAB No. 102 expresses the SEC staff's views on the development, documentation and application of a systematic methodology in determining an allowance for loan loss in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The SAB stresses that the methodology for computing the allowance be both disciplined and consistent, and emphasizes that the documentation supporting the allowance and provision must be sufficient. SAB No. 102 provides guidance that is consistent with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's ("FFIEC"), Policy Statement on Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodologies and Documentation for Banks and Savings Institutions, which was also issued in July 2001. SAB No. 102 is applicable only to banks and savings institutions. The adoption of this bulletin did not have a material impact on reported results of operations of the Company. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended. The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts). The Company adopted the statement on January 1, 2001. Because the Company was not a party to derivative contracts at adoption of this standard, the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of SFAS No. 125. The statement revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures. The disclosure requirements of the statement were effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The adoption of the remaining provisions of this standard did not have a material impact on reported results of operations of the Company. The remaining provisions were effective April 1, 2001. 42 3.

Nonaccrual loans totaled approximately $1,377,000 and $579,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Foregone interest, which would have otherwise been recorded on nonaccrual loans, including those loans that were nonaccrual at sometime during the year and later paid, reinstated or charged off, was approximately $96,000, $25,000 and $23,000, in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition to nonaccrual loans, nonperforming assets include other real estate owned related to property acquired by foreclosure in settlement of debt and repossessed assets. Other real estate owned and repossessed assets was approximately $229,000 and $56,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company recognizes income on impaired loans primarily on the cash basis. Impaired loans are considered to be loans with a probability that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Any change in the present value of expected cash flows is recognized through the allowance for loan loss. Impaired loan information for the year ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows (in thousands): 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Impaired loans with an allowance ........................................... $1,361 $1,041 $ 686 ====== ====== ====== Allowance for impaired loans ............................................... $ 204 $ 213 $ 159 ====== ====== ====== Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the year ............... $ 66 $ 40 $ 21 ====== ====== ======

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS The Bank has entered into repurchase agreements with several customers under which the Bank pledges investment securities owned and under its control as collateral against the one-day agreements. These transactions do not satisfy the financial instrument sale criteria outlined under generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, the investment securities remain recorded on the Company's balance sheet, while the related repurchase agreements are reflected as borrowed funds. The daily average balance of these agreements during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $12,284,000, $7,666,000 and $6,854,000, respectively. Interest expense in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $443,000, $447,000 and $322,000, respectively, resulting in an average rate paid of 3.61% in 2001, 5.83% in 2000 and 4.70% in 1999. The highest amount outstanding during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $19,136,000, $16,542,000 and $10,700,000, respectively. 8. OTHER BORROWINGS During 2001 and 2000 the Bank received funding from Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The advances were collateralized by a portion of the Bank's residential mortgage portfolio and the average rate paid in 2001 and 2000 on the advances was 5.06% and 6.77%, respectively. Interest expense paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances was approximately $1,061,000 in 2001 and $1,176,000 in 2000. The highest amount outstanding during 2001 and 2000 was $40,000,000 and $30,000,000, respectively. There were no balances outstanding at December 31, 2001 and $30,000,000 outstanding at December 31, 2000. In April 2001, the Company entered into a 364-day, $10 million line of credit with a bank. The contractual agreement provides for interest at 90-day Libor plus 145 basis points and is collateralized by the Company's investment in CNB National Bank. During 2001, the Company drew down $7,000,000 under this line and incurred interest expense of $97,000. This line of credit was modified in October 2001 as discussed below. In October 2001, the line of credit agreement was modified into two facilities as follows: o Facility A: $3,000,000 line of credit maturing June 30, 2002. Interest is variable at 90-day Libor plus 145 basis points. o Facility B: $10,000,000 term loan maturing October 3, 2006. Interest is variable at 90-day Libor plus 170 basis points and was 4.30% at December 31, 2001. Semi-annual principal payments of $714,286 begin in April 2004, with the remainder due at maturity. 46 In connection with the line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain compliance with certain covenants and restrictions. The following financial covenants are to be maintained on a quarterly basis and are calculated at the Bank-level: o Interest coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 2.00x through September 30, 2003. o Debt service coverage ratio of greater than or equal to 0.85x through September 30, 2002; 1.00x from October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003; 1.25x from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004; and 1.50x from October 1, 2004 through maturity. o Ratio of non-performing assets to total loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed assets of less than or equal to 1.25%. o Maintenance of tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios that meet the benchmarks for consideration as a "well-capitalized" institution (currently 8% and 10%, respectively). Also, maintenance of a leverage capital ratio of greater than 6%. In addition, the Company is subject to the following restrictions: o No additional debt is permitted without consent of the lender. o No increases in dividends paid by the Company to its common shareholders are permitted without consent of the lender. Failure to maintain any of these covenants would place the Company in default of the line of credit agreement. In such a case, absent any waivers obtained from the lender, all amounts payable could be accelerated and become due immediately. As of December 31, 2001, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. At December 31, 2001, there was $10,000,000 outstanding under Facility B, consisting of the original $7,000,000 and an additional $3,000,000 received at the origination date of the term loan. There have been no advances under Facility A through December 31, 2001. The Company did not have any long-term debt outstanding during 2000. In addition to the amended line of credit agreement, the Company entered into a $10,000,000 notional pay-fixed interest rate swap with the same bank. The fixed rate under the interest rate swap is 6.45% and the variable rate is based on 90-day Libor plus 170 basis points. The interest rate swap matures October 3, 2006 and has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on the $10,000,000 term loan noted above (Facility B). Interest expense on Facility B during 2001, including the impact of the interest rate swap, was $165,000. The notional amount of the interest rate swap amortizes in the same manner as Facility B. 47 9.

DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS The Company's primary source of funds is dividends it receives from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank, in turn, is subject to the regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency, which require, among other things, that dividends be paid only from net profits of the current and immediately preceding two years. At December 31, 2001, the Bank had approximately $4,014,000 of retained earnings available for dividends to the Company without being required to seek special regulatory approvals. 14. EQUITY Dividends Declared The Company declared cash dividends of $0.20 per share in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Common Stock During February 1999, the Company sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock resulting in proceeds of approximately $11.4 million, net of underwriting discount and expenses. 15. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Stock Options The Company has long-term incentive plans that provide stock-based awards, including stock options to certain key employees. The terms of the Performance-Based Incentive Plan ("the Plan"), which were approved by shareholders at the annual meeting in April 1998, allowed for a maximum grant of 540,000 shares. In May 2001, shareholders approved a proposal to amend the number of shares that may be granted under the long-term incentive component of the Plan to 800,000 shares. Prior to the approval of the Plan, there were issued and outstanding options totaling 166,766 of which 33,306 were exercised in 2000 and 18,626 were exercised in 2001. There are 245,650 shares remaining to be issued under the Plan as of December 31, 2001. Generally, the options granted under the Plan become exercisable over a three to four year period following the year of grant, and expire ten years after the date of the grant. The grant price of all options has been equal to the estimated fair market value of a share of stock as of the date of grant. 51 Options outstanding and the activity for December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 are presented below: 2001 2000 1999 ---------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Shares Grant Price Shares Grant Price Shares Grant Price ------ ----------- ------ ----------- ------ ----------- Employee stock option plans: Outstanding at beginning of year ............ 621,760 $ 7.58 552,566 $ 7.63 359,766 $ 6.26 Options granted ........................... 72,500 9.60 102,500 8.64 214,600 9.92 Options exercised ......................... 30,876 5.39 33,306 3.41 1,800 5.00 Options forfeited ......................... 25,750 8.86 - - 20,000 8.00 ------- -------- ------- -------- ------- -------- Outstanding at end of year .................. 637,634 $ 8.34 621,760 $ 7.58 552,566 $ 7.63 ======= ======== ======= ======== ======= ======== Options exercisable at year-end ............ 493,087 $ 7.97 391,784 $ 7.40 258,466 $ 5.90 ======= ======== ======= ======== ======= ======== Weighted-average fair value of options $ 3.17 $ 2.86 $ 2.59 granted during the year .................. ======== ======== ========
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock option and award plans and has adopted the disclosure-only option under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. If the Company had adopted the accounting provisions of SFAS 123 and recognized expense for the fair value of employee stock options granted in 2001, 2000 and 1999, over the vesting life of the options, pro forma net income would be as indicated below (dollars in thousands, except per share data): As Reported Pro Forma ---------------------------- ----------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income ............................. $2,941 $2,507 $2,941 $2,818 $2,407 $ 2,658 Basic earnings per common share ........ $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.49 $ 0.46 $ 0.39 $ 0.44 Diluted earnings per common share ...... $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.48 $ 0.46 $ 0.39 $ 0.44
In determining the pro forma disclosures above, the fair value of options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes model was developed to estimate the fair value of traded options, which have different characteristics than employee stock options, and changes to the subjective assumptions used in the model can result in materially different fair value estimates. The 52 weighted-average grant date fair values of the options granted during 2001, 2000 and 1999 were based on the following assumptions: Risk-Free Dividend Interest Rates Yield ------------------------- ------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Performance-Based Incentive and other stock option plans ........................... 3.75% 6.52% 5.89% 2.08% 2.50% 2.03%

Compensation expense under the fair value-based method is recognized over the vesting period of the related stock options. Accordingly, the pro forma results of applying SFAS No. 123 in 2001, 2000 and 1999 may not be indicative of future amounts. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2001. Outstanding Exercisable ------------------------------------ ----------------------- Average Average Average Exercise Life Exercise Exercise Price Range Shares (Years) Price Shares Price ----------- ------ ------- ----- ------ ----- $3.06-$3.64 13,844 1.50 $ 3.64 13,844 $ 3.64 $4.00-$4.68 56,558 4.54 4.16 56,558 4.16 $5.00-$8.00 229,732 7.24 7.66 227,065 7.65 $9.00-$10.25 337,500 8.07 9.70 195,620 9.76 ------- ---- ------- ------- ------- Total 637,634 7.32 $ 8.34 493,087 $ 7.97 ======= ==== ======= ======= =======
Restricted Stock The Company awarded 17,500 shares of restricted stock under the Performance-Based Incentive Plan. The weighted average price of restricted stock vested during 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $9.00, $8.64 and $8.00, respectively. Compensation expense is recorded on restricted stock over the related vesting period. Compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of shares issued at the date of grant. At December 31, 2001, there was no unrecognized restricted stock expense. 53 16. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (dollars in thousands, except per share data): 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Numerator: Net income ........................................................ $2,941 $2,507 $2,941 Preferred stock dividends ......................................... - - - ----- ----- ----- Numerator for basic earnings per share Income to common shareholders ................................... 2,941 2,507 2,941 Effect of dilutive securities: Preferred stock dividends ....................................... - - - ----- ----- ----- Numerator for diluted earnings per share Income available to common shareholders ......................... $2,941 $2,507 $2,941 ====== ====== ====== Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share Weighted-average shares 6,094,670 6,095,471 5,995,474 Effects of dilutive securities: Common stock options 93,807 38,799 74,263 ----------- ----------- ----------- Dilutive potential common shares 93,807 38,799 74,263 ----------- ----------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share Adjusted weighted-average shares 6,188,477 6,134,270 6,069,737 ----------- ----------- ----------- Basic Earnings Per Share $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.49 =========== =========== =========== Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.48 =========== =========== ===========
For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, shares that could potentially be issued under options and potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive, totaled 275,145 and 117,842, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2001. 17. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Profit-Sharing Plan The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit-sharing plan in which substantially all full-time and part-time employees are eligible to participate. This plan allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their salaries on a pretax basis. The Company matches these deferrals on a pro rata basis as defined in the plan. Contributions and administrative expenses related to the plan and paid by the plan sponsor totaled approximately $274,000, $214,000 and $100,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 54 Health and Welfare Plan The Company also provides health care, dental care, disability and life insurance benefits to all full-time employees. Total cost related to these benefits for 2001, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $653,000, $561,000 and $453,000, respectively. Beginning in April 2001, full-time employees who elected health care and/or dental care coverage contributed to a portion of the monthly premium cost. 18. CAPITAL The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures as defined by regulation and established to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. If such minimum amounts and ratios are met, the Bank is considered "adequately capitalized." If a bank exceeds the requirements of "adequately capitalized" and meets even more stringent minimum standards, it is considered to be "well capitalized." As of December 31, 2001, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The following table summarizes the actual and required capital levels and ratios for the Company and the Bank at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Adequately Well Actual Capitalized Capitalized Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ---------- -------- ----------- -------- ----------- ------- As of December 31, 2001: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ....................... $44,745 9.0% $39,688 8.0% $49,611 10.0% Bank ............................... 51,729 10.4% 39,667 8.0% 49,584 10.0% Tier I capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ....................... 39,540 8.0% 19,844 4.0% 29,767 6.0% Bank ............................... 46,524 9.4% 19,834 4.0% 29,750 6.0% Tier I capital (to average assets): Consolidated ....................... 39,540 6.5% 24,242 4.0% 30,302 5.0% Bank ............................... 46,524 7.7% 24,175 4.0% 30,219 5.0% As of December 31, 2000: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ....................... 47,306 12.0% 31,559 8.0% 39,448 10.0% Bank ............................... 37,959 9.9% 30,838 8.0% 38,548 10.0% Tier I capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ....................... 43,636 11.1% 15,779 4.0% 23,669 6.0% Bank ............................... 34,289 8.9% 15,419 4.0% 23,129 6.0% Tier I capital (to average assets): Consolidated ....................... 43,636 9.8% 17,862 4.0% 22,328 5.0% Bank ............................... 34,289 7.8% 17,500 4.0% 21,875 5.0%
55 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk The financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities, or off-balance sheet risks, that arise in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of customers. These include commitments to extend credit and to honor standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risks in excess of amounts reflected in the balance sheets. The extent of the Bank's involvement in these commitments or contingent liabilities is expressed by the contractual, or notional, amounts of the instruments. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so 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. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation in the same manner as though an immediate credit extension were to be granted. Commitments to extend credit amount to approximately $122,000,000 and $77,000,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities. The Company had approximately $7,373,000 and $6,760,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of participating in standby letters of credit or commitments to extend credit. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Bank originates residential and commercial real estate loans and other consumer and commercial loans primarily in the north Florida area. In addition, the Bank occasionally purchases loans, primarily in Florida. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its borrowers' ability to repay their loans is dependent upon economic conditions in the Bank's market area. Federal Reserve Requirement The Federal Reserve Board requires that certain banks maintain reserves, based on their average deposits, in the form of vault cash and average deposit balances at a Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $250,000 and $8.8 million, respectively. The decline in the required reserve level from 2000 to 2001 was due to a change by the Company in the application of Federal Reserve regulations surrounding the definition of transaction accounts. 56 Legal Contingencies 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, operations, or liquidity of the Company. 20. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Many of the Company's assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments whose carrying values approximate fair value. These items include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other short term borrowings. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. The resulting fair values may be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's other financial instruments are as follows: Investment Securities Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using market prices for similar securities. Loans The loan portfolio is segregated into categories and the fair value of each loan category is calculated using present value techniques based on projected cash flows and estimated discount rates. The calculated present values are then reduced by an allocation of the allowance for loan loss against each respective loan category. Deposits The fair values of non-interest bearing deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Interest Rate Swap The interest rate swap is recorded at fair value of $9,000 at December 31, 2001. Fair value is based on a dealer quote at December 31, 2001, which is estimated from market interest rate curves as of the valuation date. Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit The estimated fair values for other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments are considered to approximate carrying amounts at December 31, 2001 and 2000 and are based upon fees charged to enter into similar arrangements as of these dates. 57 The Company's financial instruments that have estimated fair values differing from their respective carrying values are presented as follows at December 31, 2001 and 2000 (in thousands): 2001 2000 -------------------------- -------------------------- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value ------ ---------- ------ ---------- Financial assets: Investment securities held to maturity ..... $ 4,060 $ 4,057 $ 7,460 $ 7,458 Net loans .................................. $516,350 $532,776 $377,151 $376,983 Financial liabilities: Time deposits .............................. $268,537 $270,917 $185,739 $185,627
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have disposed of such financial instruments at December 31, 2001, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of fair values at future dates. 21. BRANCH ACQUISITIONS On May 11, 2001, the Company purchased the Lake City and Live Oak branches of Republic Bank. The Company acquired loans and deposits of approximately $12,000,000 and $62,000,000, respectively. The Company also recorded a core deposit intangible of approximately $6,000,000, which is being amortized over its estimated life of 10 years. The results of operations of these branches are included in the results of operations of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. 58 22.
