2 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 Company makes this Form 10-K available on its web site at www.cnbnb.com. 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 fourteen 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, 2002, the Company had total assets of $730.7 million, total gross loans of $605.8 million, total deposits of $648.6 million, and total shareholders' equity of $50.9 million. Net income for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $5.4 million, $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For additional financial information related to the Company, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part II of this Form 10-K. 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 have entered the Company's Expansion Markets by acquiring such previously locally headquartered banks. For example, in January 1998, Bank of 3 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 Barnett closely followed the acquisition of three of Jacksonville's 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. Consolidation continued into 2002 and 2003 as both BB&T of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Alabama National BanCorporation of Birmingham, Alabama entered the First Coast and Gainesville markets by acquiring Florida-based community banks. 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 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 capabilities in the Expansion Markets, (ii) leverage existing 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 4 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 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 Gainesville 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 and long-term strategy. 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("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 of the Bank's Board of Directors 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. 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 receivable and inventory. Other commercial loan products include intermediate term loans for farm and non-farm equipment, agricultural 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. 5 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. Term loans having maturities greater than one year are generally secured by equipment 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 cost. 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 that includes a review of 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 6 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 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. Additionally, a comprehensive annual review is conducted on all credits over $1 million, 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 by Risk Management and monitored monthly 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 at least 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 strategic alliance 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 or 2002. 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 7 with, such institutions. Dividends on such investments are determined by the institutions and are payable semi-annually or quarterly. COMPETITION Within each market in which the Company operates (collectively, the "CNB 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 service companies. 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 CNB Markets by acquiring a financial institution, by establishing de novo branches or by forming de novo banks. Competition for deposit and loan business in the CNB Markets will continue to be intense because of existing competitors, the accelerating pace of product deregulation and the likelihood of expansion into the CNB 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 and in early 2003 closed one of its Lake City locations. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2002, the Bank had 253 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 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 8 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 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 9 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%. The Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios under these guidelines at December 31, 2002, were 7.4% and 8.5%, 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, 2002 was 6.3%. 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 positions) 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. 10 "SOURCE OF STRENGTH" POLICY According to Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank. PROPERTIES The Bank currently operates out of fourteen branch offices, one administrative office and a non-customer operations center. All branches have automated teller machines ("ATMs"). The Company owns the following properties: APPROXIMATE SQUARE YEAR ESTABLISHED/ OFFICE LOCATION FOOTAGE ACQUIRED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LAKE CITY (COLUMBIA COUNTY) 205 North Marion Avenue (1) ..................................... 22,000 1986 187 SW Baya Avenue .............................................. 10,100 1993 2844 U.S. 90 West ............................................... 2,900 1997 160 NW Main Blvd ................................................ 7,600 2001 1 CNB Place, East U.S. 90 (2) ................................... 20,800 1996 LIVE OAK (SUWANNEE COUNTY) 205 White Avenue, S.E ........................................... 6,000 1988 1562 South Ohio Avenue .......................................... 2,000 1993 535 South Ohio Avenue ........................................... 8,000 2001 FORT WHITE (COLUMBIA COUNTY) 7075 SW U.S. Hwy 27 ............................................. 2,200 1990 MACLENNEY (BAKER COUNTY) 595 South Sixth Street .......................................... 4,800 1992 STARKE (BRADFORD COUNTY) 606 West Madison Street ......................................... 8,000 1994 GAINESVILLE (ALACHUA COUNTY) 5027 Northwest 34th Street ...................................... 2,000 1996 7515 West University Avenue ..................................... 12,000 2000 11411 N.

As of March 14, 2003, there were 6,125,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 509 shareholders of record. In addition, there were 536,253 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 and Results of Operations for the quarterly market price for the last two fiscal years. Shareholders' equity at December 31, 2002 was $50.9 million, as compared to $46.7 million at December 31, 2001. 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 2002, 2001 and 2000 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 principal and 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. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS CNB FLORIDA BANCSHARES, INC.

15 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. The purpose of this discussion is to 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 2002 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 an initial public offering of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, which 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. Of the $11.4 million net proceeds from the offering, the Company contributed $10.0 million as capital to CNB National Bank . The Company continues to execute on its strategic growth initiatives that were put in place during 1998. During 2002 the Company began laying the groundwork for construction of a new branch on US 90 in Glen St. Mary and entered into a lease agreement for a branch in the Magnolia Parke section of Gainesville. Both of these branches are expected to open for business in 2003. In 2001 the Company added two branches to its First Coast market (Jacksonville and St. Augustine) and acquired two branches from Republic Bank (Lake City and Live Oak). The branch acquisitions occurred in May 2001 and resulted in the 16 addition of loans, deposits and premises and equipment of approximately $12 million, $62 million and $2 million, respectively. In connection with the acquisition, the Bank recorded a core deposit intangible of $6 million, which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years. The Company's conversion to an improved data processing platform in the fourth quarter of 2000 and the move into the expanded Operations Center in the first half of 2001 has improved operational support to our growth initiatives and has allowed us to 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 continue to be located in Lake City. Results of Operations The Company's earnings for 2002 were $5.4 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, and $2.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in 2001 and 2000, respectively. These results reflect growth in net interest income and non-interest income. The decline in interest expense reflects the impact of declining interest rates throughout 2002. Total assets increased to $730.7 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $612.0 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of 19%. 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 $25.8 million for 2002, compared to $20.8 million and $17.3 million for the comparable prior year periods of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase over 2001 was due to growth in loans, transaction deposits and improved rates and spreads. During the first half of 2003, we expect increased margin pressure as interest rates remain at historically low levels. With our asset sensitivity, however, margin enhancement is anticipated once rates rise, as is expected later in the year. Average loan growth of $95 million was the main contributor to the increase in average earning assets of $106.7 million, or 21%. Increases in time, money market and interest bearing deposits, including those accounts acquired from Republic Bank, were the main contributors in the $103.5 million, or 26%, growth in average interest bearing liabilities. The Company's net interest margin increased to 4.24% in 2002, compared to 4.15% in 2001. The increase in the margin is due to higher transaction deposit balances and improved rates and spreads. Table 1 presents a comparative earning asset composition as well as earning asset yields and interest bearing liability rates for 2002, 2001 and 2000. Table 1a shows the changes in net interest income by category due to shifts in volume and rates for years presented. 17 Table 1: Average Balances, Yields and Rates December 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- 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 $ 4,697 $ 73 1.55% $ 2,773 $ 102 3.68% $ 3,429 $ 208 6.07% Investment Securities Available for Sale 43,984 1,891 4.30 33,167 1,864 5.62 33,314 2,110 6.33 Investment Securities Held to Maturity 1,667 99 5.94 6,278 384 6.12 9,869 572 5.80 Loans (1) 553,476 39,275 7.10 458,023 38,055 8.31 317,345 29,112 9.17 Interest Bearing Deposits 3,559 60 1.69 401 12 2.99 895 59 6.59 -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- ---- --------- --------- ---- TOTAL EARNING ASSETS 607,383 41,398 6.82 500,642 40,417 8.07 364,852 32,061 8.78 All Other Assets 55,173 55,233 38,424 -------- -------- --------- TOTAL ASSETS $662,556 $555,875 $ 403,276 ======== ======== ========= LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: NOW & Money Markets $192,108 3,432 1.79% $148,026 3,899 2.63% $ 110,387 3,731 3.38% Savings 21,907 155 0.71 18,707 196 1.05 17,095 238 1.39 Time Deposits 291,205 11,213 3.85 235,010 13,656 5.81 151,674 9,019 5.95 Federal Funds Purchased and Repurchase Agreements 13,174 191 1.45 14,609 552 3.78 9,565 572 5.98 Short Term Borrowings 33 1 3.04 20,932 1,061 5.07 17,377 1,176 6.77 Other Borrowings (2) 10,000 654 6.54 4,667 265 5.68 - - - -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- ---- --------- --------- ---- TOTAL INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES 528,427 15,646 2.96 441,951 19,629 4.44 306,098 14,736 4.81 Demand Deposits 80,302 64,337 49,418 Other Liabilities 4,999 3,838 4,117 Shareholders' Equity 48,828 45,749 43,643 -------- -------- --------- TOTAL LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY $662,556 $555,875 $ 403,276 ======== ======== ========= ---- ---- ---- INTEREST SPREAD (3) 3.86% 3.63% 3.97% ==== ==== ==== --------- -------- --------- NET INTEREST INCOME $ 25,752 $ 20,788 $ 17,325 ========= ======== ========= NET INTEREST MARGIN (4) 4.24% 4.15% 4.75% ==== ==== ==== ---------- (1) Interest income on average loans includes loan fee recognition of $494,000, $979,000 and $969,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $299,000 or 10% in 2002, compared with $528,000 or 22% in 2001. Secondary market mortgage sales increased in 2002 by $206,000 or 11%. The increase in secondary market mortgage sales was primarily attributed to a strong housing market in the local economy and a continuation of historically low interest rates. Other non-interest income, which includes credit card fees, credit life insurance income, safe deposit box fees, net gains and losses from sale of securities and other miscellaneous fees, increased $166,000 in 2002 compared to $195,000 in 2001. The increase in other fee income in 2002 was primarily attributed to a $66,000 increase in securities gains and a $50,000 increase in investment services income. The investment securities sold in the fourth quarter of 2002 were short-dated callable agency instruments with premiums resulting from movements in interest rate markets. The securities were sold as an economic hedge of a decline in net interest yield, which resulted from a lowering of market interest rates during the fourth quarter. Non-interest income as a percentage of average assets was 0.95% in 2002 compared to 1.01% and 0.83% in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 7%, for 2002, compared to an increase of $4.4 million, or 28%, for 2001. During 2002, non-interest expenses as a percentage of average assets decreased to 3.19%, compared to 3.57% and 3.84% in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits for 2002 increased $843,000 from 2001 compared to $1.7 million from 2000. As a percentage of average total assets, salaries and employee benefits have decreased to 1.67% in 2002 compared to 1.84% and 2.12% in 2001 and 2000, respectively. 19 Occupancy expenses (including furniture, fixtures & equipment) increased to $3.4 million in 2002 compared to $3.1 million in 2001 and $2.2 million in 2000. The main contributing factor for the 2002 increase was higher depreciation due to a full year of depreciation for the Operations Center and the two purchased Republic Branches. The major factors affecting the increase in occupancy expenses from 2000 to 2001 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 3% in 2002 compared to 2001 and 37% in 2001 compared to 2000. The increase in 2002 was attributable to: (1) an increase of $224,000 in data processing fees resulting from higher transaction volume with our core processor, utilization of additional processing applications and contractual fee increases; (2) an increase of $169,000 in telephone and related expenses, primarily due to an enhancement of bandwidth capacity between each of the Company's branches; (3) an increase of $203,000 in amortization of intangible assets due to the core deposit amortization on the Republic branches for a full year; (4) an increase of $71,000 in legal and professional costs. The increases in these areas were offset by decreases in advertising, administrative, supplies and other operating expenses. The main contributing factors to the increase in other operating expenses in 2001 was a $120,000 increase in postage and delivery due to additional courier runs, an increase of $454,000 in data processing fees resulting from the conversion to an improved data processing platform and an increase of $364,000 in amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible from the Republic Bank acquisition. Other operating expenses in both 2001 and 2000 included goodwill amortization of $70,000. Beginning in 2002, amortization of goodwill was discontinued in accordance with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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, 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Data processing $ 1,328 $ 1,104 $ 650 Communications 764 595 584 Amortization of intangible assets 746 543 179 Postage and delivery 700 671 551 Legal and professional 689 618 487 Advertising and promotion 532 687 541 Supplies 410 578 404 Loan expenses 242 248 194 Regulatory fees 239 255 149 Administrative 163 211 196 Education expense 131 101 62 Dues and subscriptions 97 100 103 Director fees 88 70 72 Other general operating 79 67 174 Insurance and bonding 76 105 89 Other 350 518 287 -------- --------- -------- Total other operating expenses $ 6,634 $ 6,471 $ 4,722 ======== ========= ======== 20 Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 36.8%, compared to 35.2% for 2001 and 34.6% for 2000. The consolidated provision for income taxes increased to $3.1 million in 2002, compared to $1.6 million in 2001 and $1.3 million in 2000. 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 $69.8 million and represented 11.9% of average total deposits during 2002, compared to $55.0 million and 11.8% for 2001. The Company's loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2002 was 93%, compared to 96% at the end of 2001. In addition to core deposit growth (defined as all deposits other than time deposits in excess of $100,000), 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 (subsequently renewed through June 30, 2003) 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, 2002 was approximately ($691,000). There was $1 million outstanding on the $3 million line of credit on December 31, 2002. The term loan, line of credit and interest rate swap are all 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 6% and 10%, respectively). Also, maintenance of a leverage capital ratio of at least 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. 21 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, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, except as noted below. At December 31, 2002, the Bank's ratio of non-performing assets to total loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed assets totaled 1.33%, which exceeded the amount stipulated in the agreement of 1.25%. The Bank obtained a waiver of default with respect to the non-performing assets ratio requirement as of December 31, 2002. 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 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 $147,315,000 and $8,889,000, respectively, at December 31, 2002 and expire as outlined in the table below (in thousands): Unfunded Standby Commitments Letters of Credit ----------- ----------------- 2003 $ 30,758 $ 7,971 2004 37,561 519 2005 28,605 399 2006 8,939 - 2007 10,614 - Thereafter 30,838 - ---------- --------- $ 147,315 $ 8,889 ========== ========= 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, 2002, a gradual increase in interest rates of 200 basis points would have increased net interest income over the ensuing twelve-month period by 3.76%. A gradual decrease in interest rates of 200 basis points over this same period would have decreased net interest income by 3.83% as compared to a stable rate environment. At December 31, 2001, the internal analysis estimated an increase in net interest income of 1.09% and a decrease in net interest income of 1.11% for a similar 200 basis point increase and decrease in interest rates, respectively. The overall interest rate sensitivity position increased over the prior year as the Company focused on variable-rate lending and growth in demand and time deposits. The Company considers this asset-sensitive position desirable given the perceived likelihood of increasing interest rates over the foreseeable horizon. The Company also monitors the Bank's market value of equity and its net economic value ratio on a monthly basis. Market value of equity is defined as the difference between the estimated fair value of the Bank's assets less the estimated fair value of liabilities. The net economic value ratio is the market value of equity divided by the market value of assets and measures the Bank's capitalization, taking into account balance sheet gains and losses. At December 31, 2002, the Bank's net economic value ratio was 10.04% and 10.13%, assuming a gradual increase or decrease, respectively, in interest rates of 200 basis points over a 12-month period. At December 31, 2001, the Bank's net economic value ratio was 10.53% and 10.93% for similar changes in interest rates. 22 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, 2002, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. 23 Table 3: Rate Sensitivity Analysis December 31, 2002 (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 $ 112,930 $ 51,890 $ 38,900 $ 34,665 $ 53,539 $ 95,892 $387,816 $407,523 Average Interest Rate 7.04% 7.33% 7.75% 7.50% 7.30% 7.00% 7.22% Variable Rate Loans 62,814 27,520 21,583 13,545 9,841 82,666 217,969 218,028 Average Interest Rate 4.81% 5.07% 5.24% 5.70% 6.72% 7.49% 6.04% Investment Securities(1) Fixed Rate Investments 8,064 14,497 5,474 - - 17,317 45,352 46,201 Average Interest Rate 2.41% 5.05% 4.37% 4.45% 4.27% Variable Rate Investments - - - - - 471 471 484 Average Interest Rate 5.34% 5.34% Federal Funds Sold 5,400 - - - - - 5,400 5,400 Average Interest Rate 1.17% 1.17% Other Earning Assets(2) 15,212 - - - - - 15,212 15,212 Average Interest Rate 2.19% 2.19% --------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Interest-Earning Assets $ 204,420 $ 93,907 $ 65,957 $ 48,210 $ 63,380 $196,346 $672,220 $692,848 Average Interest Rate 5.66% 6.32% 6.65% 6.99% 7.21% 6.98% 6.48% ========= ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES: ----------------------------- NOW $ 65,437 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 53,182 $118,619 $118,619 Average Interest Rate 1.96% 0.51% 1.31% Money Market 90,798 - - - - 4,556 95,354 95,354 Average Interest Rate 2.36% 1.24% 2.31% Savings - - - - - 22,311 22,311 22,311 Average Interest Rate 0.50% 0.50% CD's Under $100,000 109,390 28,964 25,033 8,537 747 - 172,671 174,134 Average Interest Rate 2.95% 3.89% 4.15% 4.43% 5.11% 3.36% CD's $100,000 and Over 117,910 21,677 12,916 4,968 2,145 - 159,616 160,705 Average Interest Rate 3.49% 4.15% 4.39% 4.54% 5.27% 3.71% Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements and Federal Funds Purchased 14,446 - - - - - 14,446 14,446 Average Interest Rate 0.85% 0.85% Short Term Borrowings Average Interest Rate 1,000 - - - - - 1,000 1,000 2.85% 2.85% Other Borrowings(3) - 1,428 1,428 7,144 - - 10,000 10,000 Average Interest Rate 3.46% 3.46% 3.46% 3.46% --------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Interest-Bearing Liabilities $ 398,981 $ 52,069 $ 39,377 $ 20,649 $ 2,892 $ 80,049 $594,017 $596,569 Average Interest Rate 2.74% 3.99% 4.20% 4.12% 5.23% 0.55% 2.71% ========= ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ---------- (1) Securities available for sale are shown at their amortized cost, excluding market value adjustment for net unrealized gains of $862,000.

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.
24 Core deposits, which represent all deposits other than time deposits in excess of $100,000, averaged 77% of total average deposits in 2002 and 80% in 2001. 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.

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, 2002 were $553.5 million, or 91% of average earning assets as compared to $458.0 million, or 91% of average earning assets for 2001. The commercial loan portfolio includes commercial, financial and agricultural loans as well as commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2002, the commercial loan portfolio comprised 61% of total loans compared to 55% in 2001. As of December 31, 2002 the Company had total gross loans of $605.8 million, compared to $511.6 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $94.1 million or 18%. 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. At December 31, 2002, the Bank's four largest concentration categories are: Land Development ($38.7 million), Commercial Real Estate ($29.9 million), Professional ($27.2 million) and Commercial Construction ($26.1 million). 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 $2.9 million at December 31, 2001 to $8.1 million at December 31, 2002. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 1.11% in 2002 from 0.47% in 2001. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily attributed to three separate relationships totaling approximately $5.0 million. One of the credits is a commercial loan totaling $623,000 at December 31, 2002. The credit is collateralized by rolling stock, inventory and storage contracts. The Bank has estimated its loss on this credit to be approximately $375,000. The other two of the relationships, totaling $4.4 million at December 31, 2002, are commercial real estate secured and are collateralized by an apartment complex and a renovated commercial building. The Bank does not anticipate any significant losses on these two credits at this time. 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.

26 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 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 loss on December 31, 2002, was $6.6 million, or 1.09% of total loans outstanding, net of unearned income compared to $5.2 million, or 1.02% on December 31, 2001. 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 $49.7 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of 34% from $37.1 million at December 31, 2001. Securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale and are recorded at amortized cost and fair market value, respectively. At December 31, 2002 investment securities available-for-sale made up 100% of the total investment portfolio of $49.7 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, 2002, accumulated other comprehensive income included a net unrealized gain of $108,000, compared to a $326,000 net unrealized gain at December 31, 2001. Also included in other comprehensive income is accumulated net gains (losses) on cash flow hedges. As a percent of total earning assets, the investment portfolio has remained relatively constant at a level of 7% at December 31, 2002 compared to the end of 2001. 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 into federal funds transactions with its principal correspondent banks. The Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank also require equity investments to be maintained by the Company. 28 The following tables sets forth the maturity distribution and the weighted average yields of the Company's investment portfolio.

In 2002, the Board of Directors declared dividends totaling $0.20 per share, consistent with 2001 and 2000. At December 31, 2002, the Company's common stock had a book value of $8.31 per share compared to $7.64 per share at the end of 2001. 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 an 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, 2002, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. At December 31, 2002, the Company's Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 7.4%, 8.5% and 6.3%, respectively. Selected capital ratios at year end 2002 as compared to 2001 are shown in Table 11.

33 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE 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. The Company's primary market risk exposure category is interest rate risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the extent there is a mismatch between the interest rate repricing on its assets and liabilities. Changes in market interest rates will also affect the market value of a significant portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. The Company manages this risk through regular analysis of its gap and liquidity positions. Included in the review is an internal analysis of the possible impact on net interest income and market value of equity due to assumed changes in interest rates. 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 risk to the Company. This balance generally maintained through a monitoring of balance sheet maturity and repricing mix. As noted below, at December 31, 2002, 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, 2002 and 2001 was approximately ($691,000) and $9,000, respectively. 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, 2002, 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, 2002 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 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, because 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, 34 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 in 2001, 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 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, 2002, the performance of acquired accounts did not differ materially from expectations. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and the year then ended have been audited by the Company's independent certified public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements is also included therein. 35 CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary Consolidated Financial Statements 36 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT The management of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, in the judgment of management, present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. The financial information contained elsewhere in this report is consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements and other financial information in this report include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments giving due consideration to materiality. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management recognizes that even a highly effective internal control system has inherent risks, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, and that the effectiveness of an internal control system can change with circumstances. However, management believes that the internal control system provides reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the consolidated financial statements are prevented or would be detected on a timely basis and corrected through the normal course of business. The Company assessed its internal control system as of December 31, 2002 in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As of December 31, 2002, management believes that the internal controls are in place and operating effectively. The Internal Audit function of the Company reviews, evaluates, monitors and makes recommendations on both administrative and accounting control and acts as an integral, but independent, part of the system of internal controls. The independent certified public accountants were engaged to perform an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements. In determining the nature and extent of their auditing procedures, they have evaluated the Company's accounting policies and procedures and the effectiveness of the related internal control system. An independent audit provides an objective review of management's responsibility to report operating results and financial condition. Their report appears on the following page. The Board of Directors discharges its responsibility for the Company's consolidated financial statements through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent certified public accountants, internal auditors and management. Both the independent certified public accountants and internal auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee to discuss the scope and results of their work, the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting. /s/ K.C. Trowell ---------------- Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer /s/ G. Thomas Frankland ----------------------- Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 37 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc.: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") at December 31, 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2001, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other independent certified public accountants who have ceased operations. Those independent certified public accountants expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated January 23, 2002.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 43 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. 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 2001 and 2000 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold. The Company maintains its due from banks with correspondent banking relationships. 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 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 available for sale are periodically reviewed for other than temporary declines in value. If such a decline is determined to have occurred, the amount of the 44 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, 2002, 2001 and 2000. 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 2002, 2001 and 2000, net loan fees included in interest income amounted to approximately $494,000, $979,000 and $969,000, 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 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, 2002 and 2001. 45 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 three to forty years. 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 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 fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Intangibles The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles ("SFAS 142") on January 1, 2002. 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 required the Company to complete a two-step transitional goodwill impairment test. The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of 2002 and determined that goodwill at transition was not impaired. At both December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had goodwill with a carrying value of $646,000. Beginning January 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is no longer being amortized, but is instead evaluated for impairment at least annually. Amortization of goodwill was approximately $70,000 for 2001 and 2000. Absent the impact of goodwill amortization in 2001 and 2000, net income, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share would have been $3,011,000, $0.49, $0.49 and $2,577,000, $0.42, $0.42, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company's other intangible asset consists of core deposit intangibles that are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangibles was $746,000, $473,000 and $109,000 for 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. Estimated amortization expense on core deposit intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2007 are as follows: 2003 $712,000 2004 638,000 2005 638,000 2006 634,000 2007 631,000 46 The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization related to core deposit intangibles at December 31, 2002 was $7.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization of core deposits was $7.6 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2001, respectively. Periodically, the Company reviews its core deposit intangibles for events or changes in circumstances that may indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets are not recoverable. There were no impairment losses on core deposits during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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 years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The interest rate contract had an unrealized (loss) gain, net of taxes, at December 31, 2002 and 2001 of ($433,000) and $6,000, respectively. Of the unrealized loss at December 31, 2002, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $236,000 of pre-tax expense from other comprehensive income to interest expense over the next twelve months. This estimate is based on market interest rates on December 31, 2002 and is subject to variability to the extent interest rates fluctuate over this time period. Stock Based Compensation The Company has long-term incentive plans that provide stock-based awards, including stock options to certain key employees. 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 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ 2002 2001 2000 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- $ 5,384 $ 2,941 $ 2,507 $ 5,151 $ 2,818 $ 2,407 Net income ..................................... Basic earnings per common share ................ $ 0.88 $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.84 $ 0.46 $ 0.39 Diluted earnings per common share .............. $ 0.87 $ 0.48 $ 0.41 $ 0.83 $ 0.46 $ 0.39
47 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 weighted-average grant date fair values of the options granted during 2002, 2001 and 2000 were based on the following assumptions: Risk-Free Dividend Interest Rates Yield ------------------------- ------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Performance-Based Incentive and other stock option plans ........................... 5.13% 3.75% 6.52% 1.88% 2.08% 2.50% Expected Lives Volatility ------------------------- ------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Performance-Based Incentive and other stock option plans ........................... 6 years 6 years 6 years 38% 36% 30%
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 2002, 2001 and 2000 may not be indicative of future amounts. 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. 48 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 outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. Supplemental Cash Flow Information For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash on hand, amounts 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 $16,125,000, $19,029,000 and $13,330,000 during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and cash paid for income taxes was approximately $3,388,000, $2,025,000 and $1,759,000 during 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Although earlier application is encouraged, SFAS 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 143 will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. SFAS 144 also amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The provisions of this Statement were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendments of SFAS 13, and Technical Corrections as of May 2002 ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Funds Requirements. SFAS 145 also rescinds SFAS 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers and amends SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 is generally effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 145 will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, Accounting for Certain Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses 49 financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit and Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 146 will not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9 ("SFAS 147"). SFAS 147 removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with FASB Statements No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 147 also amends FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. The provisions of SFAS 147 relating to the acquisitions of certain financial institutions, is effective for acquisitions for which the date of the acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002. The provisions of SFAS 147 relating to accounting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-term customer-relationship intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002. Transition provisions for previously recognized unidentifiable intangible assets are effective on October 1, 2002, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of SFAS 147 did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements in FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. When adopted, the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the disclosure requirements did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 ("SFAS 148"). SFAS 148 amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS 123"), to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The transition provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for financial 50 reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. For information related to the Company's accounting for its stock option award plans and for the related disclosures required by SFAS 123, see Stock Based Compensation above. The Company will begin reporting quarterly information with respect to the impact of stock-based compensation on reported and pro forma earnings beginning in the first quarter of 2003. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable-Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity and (2) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: o The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights. o The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities. o The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for the risk of absorbing the expected losses. This Interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company' s consolidated financial statements. 51 3.

8. OTHER BORROWINGS During 2001 and 2000 the Bank received funding from Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) 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 FHLB 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. The Bank did not utilize funding from the FHLB during 2002. 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 (subsequently renewed through June 30, 2003). 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 3.46% at December 31, 2002. Semi-annual principal payments of $714,286 begin in April 2004, with the remainder due at maturity. 56 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 6% and 10%, respectively). Also, maintenance of a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%. 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, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, except as noted below. At December 31, 2002, the Bank's ratio of non-performing assets to total loans plus other real estate owned and repossessed assets totaled 1.33%, which exceeded the amount stipulated in the agreement of 1.25%. The Bank obtained a waiver of default with respect to the non-performing assets ratio requirement for its 2002 fiscal year. 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. At December 31, 2002, there was $1,000,000 outstanding on Facility A, with an interest rate of 2.85%. There were no advances under Facility A during 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 2002 and 2001, including the impact of the interest rate swap, was $654,000 and $165,000, respectively. The notional amount of the interest rate swap amortizes in the same manner as Facility B. 57 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, 2002, the Bank had approximately $8,137,000 of retained earnings available for dividends to the Company without being required to seek special regulatory approvals. As discussed in Note 8 - Other Borrowings, in connection with the Company's debt covenants, no increases in dividends paid by the Company to its common shareholders are permitted without consent of the lender. 15. EQUITY Dividends Declared The Company declared cash dividends of $0.20 per share in 2002, 2001 and 2000. 16. 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, 18,626 were exercised in 2001 and 6,922 were exercised in 2002. There are 169,025 shares remaining to be issued under the Plan as of December 31, 2002. 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. Options outstanding and the activity for December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are presented below: 2002 2001 2000 ----------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Average Average Average Shares Grant Price Shares Grant Price Shares Grant Price ------ ----------- ------ ----------- ------ ----------- Employee stock option plans: Outstanding at beginning of year ........... 637,634 $ 8.34 621,760 $ 7.58 552,566 $ 7.63 Options granted .......................... 112,000 10.90 72,500 9.60 102,500 8.64 Options exercised ........................ 29,547 8.33 30,876 5.39 33,306 3.41 Options forfeited ........................ 35,375 9.96 25,750 8.86 - - ------- --------- ------- -------- ------- -------- Outstanding at end of year .................. 684,712 $ 8.68 637,634 $ 8.34 621,760 $ 7.58 ======= ========= ======= ======== ======= ======== Options exercisable at year-end ............. 522,503 $ 8.29 493,087 $ 7.97 391,784 $ 7.40 ======= ========= ======= ======== ======= ======== Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year ..................... $ 4.12 $ 3.17 $ 2.86 ======== ======= ========

The weighted average price of restricted stock vested during 2001 and 2000 was $9.00 and $8.64, 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. All restricted stock grants were fully vested at December 31, 2001 and, consequently, no restricted stock expense was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2002. 17. EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 (dollars in thousands, except per share data): 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Numerator: Net income available to common shareholders ......... $ 5,384 $ 2,941 $ 2,507 ========== ========== ========== Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share Weighted-average shares ........................... 6,104,050 6,094,670 6,095,471 Effects of dilutive securities: Common stock options .............................. 111,725 93,807 38,799 ---------- ---------- ---------- Dilutive potential common shares .................... 111,725 93,807 38,799 ---------- ---------- ---------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share Adjusted weighted-average shares .................... 6,215,775 6,188,477 6,134,270 ========== ========== ========== Basic Earnings Per Share ................................... $ 0.88 $ 0.48 $ 0.41 ========== ========== ========== Diluted Earnings Per Share ................................. $ 0.87 $ 0.48 $ 0.41 ========== ========== ==========
63 For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2000, 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 13,278 and 275,145, respectively. There were no anti-dilutive shares for the year ended December 31, 2001. 18. 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 $304,000, $274,000 and $214,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 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 2002, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $708,000, $653,000 and $561,000, respectively. Beginning in April 2001, full-time employees who elected health care and/or dental care coverage contributed a portion of the monthly premium cost. 19. 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, 2002, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. 64 The following table summarizes the actual and required capital levels and ratios for the Company and the Bank at December 31, 2002 and 2001. Adequately Well Actual Capitalized Capitalized Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- As of December 31, 2002: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ........................................ $51,331 8.5% $48,141 8.0% $60,177 10.0% Bank ................................................ 61,286 10.2% 48,070 8.0% 60,088 10.0% Tier I capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated ........................................ 44,757 7.4% 24,071 4.0% 36,106 6.0% Bank ................................................ 54,712 9.1% 24,035 4.0% 36,053 6.0% Tier I capital (to average assets): Consolidated ........................................ 44,757 6.3% 28,362 4.0% 35,453 5.0% Bank ................................................ 54,712 7.7% 28,336 4.0% 35,420 5.0% 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%
20. 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 65 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 $147,000,000 and $122,000,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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 $8,889,000 and $7,373,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $250,000. 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. 21. 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: Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Stock The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock approximates fair value. 66 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 ($691,000) at December 31, 2002. Fair value is based on a dealer quote at December 31, 2002, for an interest rate swap with similar terms. Notes Payable The interest rates on the Company's notes payable reprice on a frequent basis (every three months) and, accordingly, the fair value of these instruments is assumed to equal their carrying value at December 31, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001 and are based upon fees charged to enter into similar arrangements as of these dates. The Company's financial instruments that have estimated fair values differing from their respective carrying values are presented as follows at December 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands): 2002 2001 ------------------------ -------------------------- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value ------ ---------- ------ ---------- Financial assets: Investment securities held to maturity ................... - - 4,060 4,057 Net loans ................................................ 605,785 625,551 516,350 532,776 Financial liabilities: Time deposits ............................................ 332,287 334,839 268,537 270,917
67 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, 2002, 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, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of fair values at future dates. 22. 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. 23.

On May 22, 2002 CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") dismissed its independent accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its new independent accountants, effective immediately. This termination followed the Company's decision to seek statements of qualifications from independent accountants to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The decision to dismiss Andersen and to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 22, 2002, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2002, there were no disagreements between the Company and Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. None of the reportable events described under Item 302 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company's two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2002. The audit reports of Andersen on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and the subsequent interim period through March 31, 2002, the Company did not consult with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 302 (a) (2) (i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K. During the Company's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, there were no disagreements between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers' satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report. PART III Except for the information relating to the Company's executive officers and its key employees, the material required by items 10 through 13 is hereby incorporated by reference from the Company's definitive proxy statement pursuant to Instruction G of Form 10-K. The Company will file its definitive Proxy Statement with the Commission prior to April 30, 2003. 71 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within ninety days prior to the filing of the Report on Form 10-K, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report is being prepared. No significant changes have been made to the Company's disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation.
