SFAS No. 143 requires an entity to record a liability for an obligation associated with the retirement of an asset at the time the liability is incurred by capitalizing the cost as part of the carrying value of the related asset and depreciating it over the remaining useful life of that asset. The standard was effective for the Corporation beginning January 1, 2003, and its adoption has not had a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, was issued in June 2002 and replaces Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The provisions of SFAS No. 146 address the accounting and reporting for one-time employee termination benefits, certain contract termination costs and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities such as facility closings or consolidations and employee relocations. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

The Corporation has adopted SFAS No. 146 prospectively as of January 1, 2003.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

On December 31, 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement 123”, was issued. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition to adopting SFAS No. 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB Opinion No. 28 “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. Interim pro forma disclosures are required for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.

The Corporation is evaluating whether to transition to SFAS No. 123 fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are reflected in Note 7–Stock Options.

Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others

On November 25, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN No. 45) which expands on the accounting guidance of Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and incorporates without change the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded.

FIN No. 45, which is applicable to public and non-public entities, has significantly changed current practice in the accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees. Each guarantee meeting the characteristics described in FIN No. 45 is to be recognized and initially measured at fair value, which will be a change from current practice for most entities. In addition, guarantors will be required to make significant new disclosures, even if the likelihood of the guarantor making payments under the guarantee is remote, which represents another change from current general practice.

FIN No. 45’s disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, while the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

The Corporation has adopted FIN No. 45 effective January 1, 2003. FIN No. 45 recognition and measurement provisions have not had a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. The objective of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company’s consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the company’s interest in the VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected loss and/or receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN No. 46 also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant variable interest holders. The provisions of this interpretation became effective upon issuance for new transactions and July 1, 2003 for transactions existing on the date of issuance. As of March 31, 2003, the Corporation was not party to any VIEs. The Corporation has analyzed the interpretation and has concluded that it has not and will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

NOTE 4 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets, such as core deposit intangibles, will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company had approximately $14.6 million of goodwill on its balance sheet at December 31, 2001. In preparing for its adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company determined its reporting units and the amounts of goodwill and intangible assets to be allocated to those reporting units. The initial impairment testing has been completed and the Company has determined that there was no impairment as of January 1, 2002. Additionally, annually the Company performs an impairment analysis. In 2002, there was no impairment. The Company is not anticipating any impairment, any reclassifications between goodwill and intangible assets or any changes in the useful lives of intangible assets. No amortization expense was recorded on the goodwill during the first three months of 2003 or for 2002.

NOTE 5 – SERVICING ASSETS

Servicing assets consisted of the following as of March 31, 2003 and 2002:

                 
    2003   2002

At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Corporation serviced mortgage loans for others totaling $1,463,015 and $936,559, respectively. Following is an analysis of the activity for capitalized mortgage loan servicing assets during the three months ended March 31:

                 
    2003   2002
   
 
Balance at January 1
  $ 12,403     $ 8,722

Balance at March 31
  $ 13,743     $ 10,441  
 
   
     
 

The amortization of mortgage servicing rights and the change in valuation allowance are offset by entries to other operating income in the Statement of Income.

The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into consideration several different variables including discount rate, investor type, product type, interest rate, escrow balances, delinquencies, servicing fees and costs and prepayment speeds. The expected and actual rate of mortgage loan prepayments is the most significant factor affecting the value of mortgage servicing assets. The risk characteristics used to stratify the recognized servicing assets include method of origination and interest rate. The fair value of the servicing assets was $13,892 and $10,815 as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Following is an analysis of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowances for mortgage servicing assets for the three months ended March 31:

                 
    2003   2002
   
 
Balance at January 1
  $ 3,794     $ 810

NOTE 6 – ASSET QUALITY

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

                   
      2003   2002

NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTIONS

At March 31, 2003, the Corporation had two stock-based compensations plans. The Corporation accounts for those plans under recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Corporation’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro-forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. Under the fair-value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based upon the value of the award and recognized over the service period. For purposes of the pro-forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the option is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Corporation’s pro-forma information follows:

                   
      Three Months Ended March 31

NOTE 8 — LINE OF BUSINESS REPORTING

Management began using line of business reporting on January 1, 2002. The Corporation operates three major lines of business: Retail, Commercial and Mortgage.

Retail includes deposit gathering, direct and indirect consumer lending along with a minor amount of small business banking services. Commercial includes credit and related financial services to small- to large- sized corporations and businesses. Mortgage includes mortgage banking activities, including the ownership, origination, sale and servicing of mortgages.

The business units are identified by the product or services offered and the channel through which the product or service is delivered. The accounting policies of the individual business units are the same as those for the Corporation.

The reported results reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. Expenses for centrally provided services are allocated based upon estimated usage of those services. The business units’ assets and liabilities are matched-funded and interest rate risk is centrally managed. Transactions between business units are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in gains or losses that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations.

Parent and other are primarily comprised of the results of the investment funding activities, inter-segment revenue (expense) eliminations and unallocated corporate income and expense. Selected financial information by line of business is included in the table below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Second Bancorp Incorporated (the “Company”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Warren, Ohio. The primary subsidiary, The Second National Bank of Warren, (the “Bank”) was originally established in 1880. Operating through 33 retail banking centers and one loan production office, we offer a wide range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services primarily to business and individual customers in various communities in a nine county area in northeastern and east-central Ohio. Among other things, our banking business includes a large and growing mortgage banking function. The Company also maintains two other subsidiaries, Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Stouffer-Herzog”) and Second Bancorp Capital Trust I. Stouffer-Herzog was acquired in the third quarter of 2002 and operates primarily in northeast Ohio selling a wide-range of personal and commercial property & casualty and life & health products. Second Bancorp Capital Trust I was established in 2001 to facilitate raising Tier I eligible capital in the form of corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities of subsidiary trust for the primary purpose of funding our acquisition of Commerce Exchange Bank. Additional non-operating subsidiaries include Second National Capital Corporation and Second National Financial Company, LLC, which were formed in 2002 to facilitate a capital conversion plan for the subsidiary Bank.

Forward-looking Statements

The sections that follow contain certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements may involve significant risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the expectations discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Financial Condition

At March 31, 2003, the Company had consolidated total assets of $1.91 billion, deposits of $1.12 billion and shareholders’ equity of $136 million. Since March 31, 2002, total assets have increased by $224 million or 13.3%, primarily through new loan generation and security acquisition funded by FHLB advances, federal funds purchased and secuirities sold under agreements to repurchase. Deposit generation efforts have been effective over than timeframe, however the sale of two banking centers in Jefferson County, Ohio reduced deposits by $88 million in the first quarter of 2003. The sale of the banking centers is a part of a larger banking center reconfiguration program which included the closing and / or consolidation of six banking centers into two new locations, the relocation and expansion of two other banking centers and the de novo opening of an additional banking center. The timing of these events started in 2002 and will progress through 2003.

Gross loans have increased by $101 million since March 31, 2002, over half of which ($58 million) was in commercial loans. Real estate loans increased $35 million since March 31, 2002 due to the sharp increase in loan originations, which is partially offset by prepayments and secondary market sales activities during the past year. The increased activity levels were brought about by lower long-term interest rates. A steady increase in direct consumer lending volume and increased indirect boat and recreational vehicle lending has offset the decline in indirect automobile loan volumes. Indirect loans have been de-emphasized due to the lower profit margins associated with the credits. Consumer loan balances have increased by $8 million over the past year. The loan mix has moved from a 45%, 29% and 26% mix of commercial, consumer and residential real estate loans, respectively, as of March 31, 2002 to a 46%, 27% and 27% mix at the end of the most recent quarter.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Deposits decreased by nearly $10 million since March 31, 2002, however absent the previously mentioned banking center sale, deposits would have increased by $78 million, or 6.9%. A dramatic shift in the composition of the deposit balances is occurring as the Company focuses on core deposit generation and funding cost reductions. Time deposit balances have declined from 49% of deposits as of March 31, 2002 to 41% of deposits at the end of the most recent quarter. Within the core funding categories, non-interest bearing demand balances increased from 12% to 14% of deposits during that time frame. Interest-bearing demand accounts increased from 9% to 13% of deposits and savings accounts increased from 30% to 32% of deposits over the same time frame. Savings accounts have increased primarily as the result of the introduction of the Your Best Interest Account which is an MMDA account with attractive temporary premium pricing.

Since December 31, 2002, total assets have increased by $14 million. Commercial lending activities have increased, especially in the western-most counties. Commercial loan generations totaled $46 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $68 million for the first quarter of 2003. Commercial loan balances increased by $16 million.

Strong secondary mortgage activities have kept real estate balances at below 30% of total loans, despite the record level of loan originations. Mortgage originations totaled $179 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $339 million for the first quarter of 2003. Similarly, sales of mortgage loans totaled $171 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $297 million for the first quarter of 2003.

The internal shift away from indirect automobile lending has kept internal consumer loan growth at below normal and historically sustainable levels. Direct consumer loan originations totaled $31 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $47 million for the first quarter of 2003. Indirect consumer loan originations, which now include loans for boats and recreational vehicles totaled $10 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $12 million for the first quarter of 2003.

Asset Quality. The level of non-performing loans remained at elevated levels at the end of first quarter of 2003. Non-performing loans were $19,706 as of March 31, 2003 compared to $19,193 as of December 31, 2002 and $11,570 as of March 31, 2002. The increase from a year ago is due to the inclusion of two related credits totaling $7.3 million with lease receivables as collateral. The company that originated the leases has declared bankruptcy and has allegedly perpetrated fraud in the creation of some of the leases. The leases were supported by surety bonds from two well-capitalized insurance companies. The Company is currently litigating the matter. Due in part to the first security interest in the $11 million in collateral (lease obligations) that supports loans and the contention that the insurance companies are still obligated to uphold their surety, the Company continues to maintain the loans as non-performing loans with a specific reserve assigned to the credits. Management believes there will be little or no losses recognized as the result of these two credits.

Non-accrual loans have decreased to $12,709 from $13,123 as of December 31, 2002. The decline is attributable to an elevated level of net charge-offs. Loans past due over 90 days and still accruing totaled $6,623 as of March 31, 2003, up 16% from the previous year end and up 6% from a year ago. The increase is reflective of the general economic slowdown in both the national and local economies. The allowance allocated to impaired loans as of March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $4,174 and $2,153, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses represented 1.46% of loans as of March 31, 2003. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the potential losses in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2003 considering, among other relevant factors, repayment status, borrowers’ ability to repay, collateral and current economic conditions. The allowance was 1.51% and 1.52% of total loans at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively.

Capital Resources. Shareholders’ equity has remained level since December 31, 2002 due to the continuation of the Company’s stock repurchase program. Retained earnings increased by nearly $7 million since year end while treasury stock increased by nearly the same amount. Over 265,000 shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2003 at an average price of $24.68. Since March 31, 2002, shareholders’ equity has increased by $7.5 million due to the retained earnings of $14.9 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) of $5 million and an increase in common stock of $4.0 million (due primarily to the acquisition of Stouffer-Herzog). Somewhat offsetting these increases were the addition of $16.3 million in treasury stock. The activity during the first quarter completed the 500,000 authorization to repurchase shares of common stock. This leaves approximately 144,000 shares in shares to be repurchased by October of 2003 when the annual 2% buyback is refreshed. The annual 2% repurchase authorization will remain in effect until amended or withdrawn by subsequent board action. Repurchases under this authorization are expected to be completed through open market and / or private transactions at prevailing market prices and are discretionary, based upon management’s periodic assessment of market conditions and financial benefit to the Company.

Liquidity. Management of the Company’s liquidity position is necessary to ensure that funds are available to meet the cash flow needs of depositors and borrowers as well as the operating cash needs of the Company. Funds are available from a number of sources including maturing securities, payments made on loans, the acquisition of new deposits, the sale of packaged loans, borrowing from the FHLB and overnight lines of credit of $56 million through correspondent banks. The parent company has three major sources of funding including dividends from the Bank, $20 million in unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks, which are renewable annually, and access to the capital markets. There were $14 million in outstanding balances against the unsecured lines of credit as of March 31, 2003.

Results of Operations
Quarterly Comparison

The Company reported net operating income of $8,661 for the first quarter of 2003. Net income for the first quarter represented eighty-nine cents ($.89) per share on a diluted basis. Return on average assets (ROA) and return on average total shareholders’ equity (ROE) were 1.85% and 25.61%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 1.11% and 14.39% for last year’s first quarter. Part of the increase in earnings was attributable to the aforementioned sale of two banking centers. The sale generated $5.6 million in pre-tax and $3.65 million in after-tax profits. Absent this non-recurring event, diluted earnings per share would have been $.52, ROA would have been 1.07% and ROE would have been 14.81%.

Net interest income decreased from $14,157 for the first quarter of 2002 to $14,083 for this year’s first quarter. The decline was due to a thinning net interest margin brought on the third consecutive year of low interest rates. The net interest margin was 3.72% in the first quarter of 2002, 3.38% in the fourth quarter of 2002 and 3.33% for the most recent quarter. The Company remains in an asset sensitive gap position and projections for the net interest margin reveal further modest margin compression if rates remain stable and a more rapid compression if rates decline. Average earning assets increased by 10.5% from last year to average $1,869,524 in the most recent quarter. The efficiency ratio (excluding the banking center gain) was slightly improved, decreasing from 59.40% for the first quarter of 2002 to 58.98% for this year’s first quarter. Increased gains on the sale of loans generally offset increases in expenses, primarily driven by increased salary and benefit costs.

Commercial Lending. Commercial lending activities focus primarily on providing local independent commercial and professional firms with commercial business loans and loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. We primarily make secured and unsecured commercial loans for general business purposes, including working capital, accounts receivable financing, machinery and equipment acquisition, and commercial real estate financing. These loans have both fixed and floating interest rates and typically have maturities of three to seven years. To a lesser extent, we also make construction loans and finance commercial equipment leases. Commercial loans comprised approximately 46% of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2003, up from 45% at the end of the first quarter in 2002. Loan volume generated for the first quarter of 2003 totaled $68 million versus $44 million for the same period in 2002. Loan balances have increased by $16 million since the previous year end due to the increase in new loan generation. The increase in loan generation can be attributed to increase lending activity in the newer western-most regions of the Company’s market. The portfolio mix continues to shift towards more rate-sensitive and higher margin, variable rate commercial loans.

Retail Lending. The Company offers a full range of retail loans to individuals, including the owners and principals of our commercial customers and a wide range of retail customers in our market area. We offer consumer loans for a variety of personal financial needs, including home equity, new and used automobiles, boat and recreational vehicle loans, credit cards and overdraft protection for checking account customers. At March 31, 2003, approximately 27% of loans were consumer loans. Of these balances, 23% were related to indirect automobile lending compared to 40% as of March 31, 2002. Another 15% of the consumer balances are now in indirect boat and recreational vehicle lending. Our indirect loans are originated through dealers in the local area. Indirect originations, which now include higher quality boat and recreational vehicle loans have increased from $9.8 million during the first quarter of 2002 to $10.3 million during the first quarter of 2003. Direct consumer lending has increased from $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2002 to $47.0 million for this year’s first quarter.

Mortgage Banking. Our mortgage department underwrites and originates a wide range of retail mortgage loan products and sells a significant volume of them primarily on a servicing retained basis. Generally, the loans sold into the secondary mortgage market make funds available for reuse in mortgage or other lending activities. The sales generate a net gain (including origination fee income and deferred origination costs), limit the interest rate risk caused by holding long-term, fixed-rate loans, and build a portfolio of serviced loans which generate a recurring stream of fee income. We originated $339 million in residential real estate loans and sold approximately $297 million of loans during the first quarter of 2003, generating a net gain of $4,188. Comparatively, we originated $180 million and sold $171 million during the first quarter of 2002, generating net gains on sale of $1,355. We service $1.46 billion in mortgage loans for others at March 31, 2003 versus $937 million as of March 31, 2002. Due to the continuation of lower mortgage interest rates in the first quarter of 2003, the valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights associated with these serviced loans increased to a total of $4,783 as of March 31, 2003, compared to an allowance of $910 as of March 31, 2002. Included in other income during the first quarters of 2003 and 2002 were valuation allowance impairment charges of $989 and $100, respectively. Typically the impact of the changes in the valuation allowance are offset by the gains realized on new residential real estate production and sale. The Company began implementing derivative activities in the second quarter of 2002 designed to offset the income statement impact of changes in the valuation allowance for the mortgage servicing rights. Included in other income in the first quarter of 2003 was income from the changes in market values of the derivatives of $1,655.

Trust. The trust department is a traditional provider of fiduciary services with a focus on administration of estates, trusts and qualified employee benefit plans. During the first quarter of 2003, personal trust accounts, employee benefit accounts and investment management agency accounts (including safekeeping) produced approximately 47%, 39% and 14% of the total revenues of the department, respectively. The department discontinued the use of internally managed common trust funds, except for a tax-free municipal fund, during the fourth quarter of 2002. The change did not have a material impact on fee income. Fee income is down 22.5% from the first quarter of 2002 due the negative impact of current market conditions on asset values. Our trust department had approximately $487 million in assets under management at March 31, 2003 as compared to $624 million at March 31, 2002.

Insurance. The acquisition of Stouffer-Herzog on September 4, 2002 had a relatively minor impact on earnings for the subsequent quarters. The agency has provided insurance services to Ohio residents since 1956. Stouffer-Herzog has a diverse income base by line of business. Commissions historically are derived from personal lines (42%), commercial lines (35%) and life and health lines (23%).

Provision for Loan Losses. The methodology for the provision for loan losses includes analysis of various economic factors including loan losses and portfolio growth. The provision for loan losses was $2,173 for the first quarter of 2003 versus $933 during the same period in 2002. Total net charge-offs were $2,012 for the first quarter of 2003 versus $744 for the first quarter of 2002. While the annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding ratio was .68% for the most recent quarter, the Company expects loan losses to be between .30% to .50% of average gross loans on an annualized basis for the next several quarters, primarily due to continued soft economic conditions and their impact on our commercial borrowers.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income (excluding security and trading gains and losses) totaled $14,211 for the first quarter of 2003 versus $5,157 for the same period last year. Also excluding the non-recurring gain on the sale of the two banking centers, non-interest income was $8,592 for the first quarter of 2003. The improvement is primarily the result of improvement in the gain on sale of loans, which increased 181% to $4,342 in the first quarter of 2003 due to the increase in mortgage lending activities. The improvement in non-interest income can also be attributed to the increase in deposit service charges of 16%, resulting from an increase in core transaction accounts. Additionally, included in other income during the first quarters of 2003 and 2002 were valuation allowance impairment charges of $989 and $100, respectively, and changes in market values of derivatives $1,655. The Company had no income from derivatives during the first quarter of 2002.

Non-interest Expense. Expenses for the first quarter of 2003 were $13,673, up 15.9% from the same period last year due to increased sales staff in the western regions, increased mortgage staff to accommodate increased origination and sales volumes and increased professional services (primarily legal fees associated with problem credits and recruiter fees for new sales staff).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Forward-looking statements

The section that follows contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements may involve significant risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the expectations discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of economic loss from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in (a) interest rates, (b) foreign exchange rates, or (c) other factors that relate to market volatility of the rate, index, or price underlying the financial instrument. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit the exposure to interest rate risk. Since nearly the Company’s entire interest rate risk exposure relates to the financial instrument activity of the Bank, the Bank’s Board of Directors review the policies and guidelines established by ALCO.

The primary objective of asset/liability management is to provide an optimum and stable net interest margin, after-tax return on assets and return on equity capital, as well as adequate liquidity and capital. Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of two complementary measures: dynamic gap analysis and earnings simulation models. While each of the measurement techniques has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive tool for measuring the magnitude of interest rate risk inherent in the Company.

The earnings simulation model forecasts earnings for a one-year horizon frame under a variety of interest rate scenarios; including interest rate shocks, stepped rates and yield curve shifts. Management evaluates the impact of the various rate simulations against earnings in a stable interest rate environment. The most recent model projects net interest income would increase by 4.6% if interest rates would immediately rise by 200 basis points. It projects a decrease in net interest income of 6.4% if interest rates would immediately fall by 125 basis points. Management believes this reflects an acceptable level of risk from interest rate movements based on the current level of interest rates. The earnings simulation model includes assumptions about how the various components of the balance sheet and rate structure are likely to react through time in different interest rate environments. These assumptions are derived from historical analysis and management’s outlook. Management expects interest rates to have a neutral bias for the remainder of 2003.

Interest rate sensitivity is managed through the use of security portfolio management techniques, the use of fixed rate long-term borrowings from the FHLB, the establishment of rate and term structures for time deposits and loans and the sale of long-term fixed rate mortgages through the secondary mortgage market. The Company also may use interest rate swaps, caps, floors or other derivative products to manage interest rate risk.
