NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Macatawa Bank Corporations (the Company) 2001 Annual Report containing financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.
All per share amounts and average shares outstanding have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the 4% stock dividend distributed on May 8, 2002, and the 3% stock dividend distributed on May 4, 2001. The Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity reflects the change in retained earnings and common stock for the value of the dividends paid.
NOTE 2 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Macatawa Bank (the Bank) and macatawa Bank Brokerage Services. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 3 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
A new accounting standard dealing with asset retirement obligations will apply for 2003. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material affect on its financial position or results of operations.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted a new standard issued by the FASB on impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. The effect of this on the financial position and results of operations of the Company was not material.
NOTE 4 GRAND BANK ACQUISITION
During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Grand Bank Financial Corporation. Grand Bank Financial is the holding company for Grand Bank which is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As of March 31, 2002, Grand Bank Financial had total assets of $287 million, total deposits of $244 million, and total portfolio loans of $244 million. The acquisition of Grand Bank will accelerate our growth in the Grand Rapids market, which is the second largest banking market in the state of Michigan.
The acquisition was valued at approximately $41 million, based on the closing price of $16.75 per share of Macatawa Bank Corporation stock at November 20, 2001, the date of the definitive merger agreement, and the new shares of stock to be issued in exchange for all of the outstanding shares and stock options of Grand Bank Financial Corporation. The transaction received shareholder approval of both companies, as well as regulatory approvals during the first quarter 2001. The merger became effective April 1, 2002, at which time Grand Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Macatawa Bank Corporation.
7
The transaction was accounted for using Purchase accounting as directed under SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The final allocation of the purchase price to goodwill and intangible assets is being determined. Any subsequent impairment is required to be reflected in the income statement at such time. For additional information and proforma financial statements, please refer to Form 8-K reporting the transaction which was filed with the SEC by the Company on April 11,2002.

NOTE 10 REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measurements of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required before it is able to accept brokered deposits. If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as well as its asset growth and expansion, and the bank is required to implement plans for necessary capital restoration.
At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, actual capital levels and minimum required levels for the Company and the Bank were (in thousands):

Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Macatawa Bank Corporation is a Michigan corporation and is the bank holding company for two wholly owned banking subsidiaries, Macatawa Bank and Grand Bank, as well as Macatawa Bank Brokerage Services. Grand Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary effective April 1, 2002 as the result of completing the previously announced acquisition, and its results are appropriately not included in the first quarter financial statements. Effective January 9, 2002, Macatawa Bank Corporation elected to become a financial holding company pursuant to Title I of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Macatawa Bank is a de novo bank which commenced operations on November 25, 1997. Grand Bank was formed in 1987 and operates from a single location in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Grand Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary effective April 1, 2002 upon the completion of the acquisition of Grand Bank Financial Corporation (GBFC). At March 31, 2002, Macatawa Bank operated fourteen branch banking offices and three lending and operational service facilities. Effective with the completion of the acquisition of Grand Bank on April 1, 2002, and the opening of a new branch location in Byron Center on April 4, 2002, we now operate through 16 full service branch locations. Both Macatawa Bank and Grand Bank are Michigan chartered banks with depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Through our two wholly owned banks, we provide a full range of commercial and consumer banking, and trust services through our network of 16 full service branches located in communities in Kent County, Ottawa County, and northern Allegan County, Michigan.
While maintaining asset quality and improving profitability, we have experienced rapid and substantial growth since opening Macatawa Bank in November 1997. We first became profitable in 1999 with net income for that year of $693 thousand. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 was $3.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively. We completed an underwritten initial public offering of common stock on April 7, 1998, resulting in net proceeds of $14.1 million. Prior to that offering, we raised $8.2 million in a private offering for the initial capitalization of Macatawa Bank. In June 1999, we completed an offering of common stock to our shareholders resulting in net proceeds of $14.6 million. In June of 2001 we completed an underwritten public offering of 1,610,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $23.7 million after underwriting commissions and expenses. In conjunction with the acquisition of GBFC, which became effective April 1, 2002, we issued 2,377,000 shares of stock in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of Grand Bank Financial Corporation.
Financial Condition
Our total assets were $708.5 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of $38.3 million, or 6%, as compared to $670.2 million at December 31, 2001. We believe the continued strong asset growth reflects the acceptance of our community banking philosophy in the growing communities we serve. Our asset growth consists primarily of growth in our loan portfolio as we continue to attract new loan customers despite the strong competition from other locally based community banks and larger regional banks. The asset growth was primarily in earning assets of loans and securities, but also included increased premises and equipment.
Our cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and short-term investments, decreased $6.5 million to $27.7 million at March 31, 2002, from $34.2 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in cash balances carried at correspondent banks that we use to process customer checks clearing through other banks across the country.
Securities available for sale totaled $68.8 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of $5.2 million from $63.6 million at December 31, 2001. The increase was the result of purchasing additional securities as a means of strengthening our liquidity. We expect continued growth of our securities portfolio generally consistent with growth of our company in order to maintain appropriate levels of liquidity.
Our total portfolio loans at March 31, 2002 were $592.7 million, an increase of $47.0 million, or 9%, as compared to December 31, 2001. Commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $36.3 million to $439.7 million at March 31, 2002, from $403.4 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of 9%. Commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for approximately 74% of the Banks total loan portfolio at both March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Consumer loans comprised 14% of the portfolio, while residential mortgage loans were 12% of total loans at March 31, 2002.

The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2002 was $8.2 million, or 1.38% of total portfolio loans, compared to $7.7 million, or 1.41% of total loans at December 31, 2001. Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers appropriate based upon our regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for measuring the appropriate level of allowance relies on several key elements, which include specific allowances for identified problem loans, formula allowance for graded loans, and allocations based on historical trends for pools of similar loan types.
Specific allowances are established in cases where senior credit management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individually impaired credit that we believe indicates the probability that a loss has been incurred. This amount may be determined by a method prescribed by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk grade of such loans. We use a loan rating method based upon an eight point system. Loans are assigned a loss allocation factor for each loan classification category. The lower the grading assigned to a loan category, the greater the allocation percentage that is applied. Changes in risk grade of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on our loss experience, the banking industrys historical loan loss experience, and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgement, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the analysis date.
Groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, open- and closed-end consumer loans, etc., receive an allowance allocation based on loss trends. In lieu of an established loan loss trend for determining an adequate allowance for these pools of loans, we use historical loss trends based on industry experience and peers. General economic and business conditions, credit quality trends, collateral values, seasoning of the portfolios and recent loss experience are conditions considered in connection with allocation factors for these similar pools of loans.
The allowance allocation for commercial loans increased by $487 thousand from December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002. This increase was the result of an increase in specific allocation of $261 thousand and formula allowance increase of $226 thousand. The increase in formula allowance was as a result of the strong growth in loans outstanding from year-end.
Net charge-offs for the first three months of 2002 totaled $230 thousand, as compared to $133 thousand for the same period in 2001. While our net charge-off experience was higher during the current year, this represented only 0.16%, on an annualized basis, of average loans, as compared to 0.13% for the fourth quarter of 2001. Our credit losses on loans continue to be low, however we recognize that our loan portfolios remain relatively unseasoned, and no material trend of losses has been established. Given the newness of the portfolios and potential economic weakness, in our judgment, we have provided adequate reserves for loan losses. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for losses on loans will be adequate to cover all losses. We anticipate net charge-offs to continue at levels consistent with the first quarter for the balance of the year due to the overall weakness in the economy, as well as delinquency trends in our commercial loan portfolio.
Premises and equipment totaled $16.2 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of $1.3 million from December 31, 2001. The increase resulted from construction costs incurred with construction underway for the companys new headquarters building, as well as two new branch locations. The new headquarters location will allow us to consolidate our administration, human resources, trust, loan underwriting and processing, and proof and deposit operations at one location. We expect the new headquarters facility to be completed by March of 2003. The new branch sites will allow us to replace a leased storefront branch site in Wyoming with a full service branch with drive-up capability, as well as add a full service branch in a leased location in Byron Center. The Byron Center branch opened for service in early April, while the relocated Wyoming branch facility is expected to begin operations by November 2002.
Other assets at March 31, 2002 totaled $2.5 million, as compared to $7.2 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease was related to the termination of a $5 million single premium life insurance arrangement which we had entered into during December of 2001. We subsequently terminated the arrangement and the premium was returned to us.
14
Total deposits increased $35.7 million, or 7%, to $561.9 million at March 31, 2002, as compared to $526.2 million at December 31, 2001. We believe the increase in deposits was substantially a result of deposits from new customers. Net new deposit account openings increased 30% as compared to the fourth quarter 2001, which had marked a two year quarterly low in net account openings. We continue to anticipate strong deposit growth based on our focus on quality customer service, the desire of customers to deal with a local bank, and convenient accessibility through the expansion of our branch network.
Our borrowed funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Federal Funds Purchased totaled $75.3 million at March 31, 2002, essentially unchanged as compared to $75.6 million at December 31, 2001. We use FHLB Advances as an additional funding source to support asset growth. Federal funds purchased provide short-term funding and daily liquidity to help settle our daily cash letter position with our correspondent banks.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $2.3 million and totaled $4.2 million at March 31, 2002, as compared to $1.9 million at year-end 2001. The increase is related to a commitment to purchase a security which had not settled at quarter-end. The security purchased is included in the totals of securities available for sale.
Merger Impact On Balance Sheet
The acquisition of Grand Bank Financial Corporation became effective April 1, 2002, resulting in Grand Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. Based on the proforma financials included with Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 11, 2002, reporting the transaction, combined total assets after the acquisition would have been approximately $961 million as December 31, 2001. Proforma total loans would have been $769 million, and proforma total deposits would have been $750 million, as of December 31, 2001.
The acquisition of Grand Bank was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As a result, certain purchase accounting adjustments were required to record the acquired assets and liabilities at market value. The value of the purchase accounting adjustments totaled a net $152,000, and will be amortized over the respective lives of the varying assets or liabilities.
Based on SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we have recorded intangible assets for the estimated value of core deposit accounts and trust customer accounts acquired in the acquisition. The intangible values represent the present value of the estimated net revenue streams attributed to the respective intangibles. The intangible assets acquired are valued using certain assumptions for alternative cost of funds, lives of respective core deposits or trust customers, discount rates and other applicable assumptions. The total of both core deposit intangibles and trust customer intangibles totaled $3.7 million, and will be amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years. Amortization of intangibles during the remainder of 2002 is estimated to be approximately $392 thousand on a pre-tax basis. These are estimates and subject to change as we finalize our purchase accounting adjustments during the second quarter 2002.
The balance of the acquisition price in excess of the fair market value of assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets, was recorded as goodwill and totaled $19.7 million. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is defined as an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, and as such, is not amortized, but is required to be tested annually for impairment of the value. If impaired, an impairment loss is required to be recorded for the value equal to the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value.
Results of Operations
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, was $1.51 million, an increase of $423 thousand or 39%, over the first quarter 2001. Diluted earnings per share were $.27 compared to $.28 for the prior year period. The earnings per share reflects the impact of a 44% increase in the number of shares outstanding from last year. The increase in stock outstanding resulted from the sale of an additional 1,610,000 million shares last June in order to provide required additional capital to support our asset growth. The resulting increased capital and number of shares of stock outstanding, provide us with both asset and earnings growth capacity. Comparative quarterly income for 2002 will result in slightly lower earnings per share and ROE until our new equity is fully leveraged.
15
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2002 totaled $6.2 million, a 27% increase as compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period in 2001. The net interest income growth was driven entirely by growth of our earning assets. Average earning assets during the first quarter totaled $646.4 million, as compared to $476.8 million during the same quarter in 2001. Net interest margin on earning assets was 3.83% for the first quarter of 2002, down from 4.03% in the first quarter of 2001. The contraction in the net interest margin for the quarter reflects the decrease in yield on earning assets resulting from the lowest prime rate level in over 40 years. We have continued to see strong loan growth, but customer preferences have been for floating rate loans which bear interest rates on average of 225 basis points lower than fixed rate commercial loans.
Anticipated growth in earning assets is expected to continue to increase levels of net interest income, but will continue to be slightly mitigated by the compression in the net interest margin. Maturities in our certificate of deposit portfolio continue to re-price at lower levels, helping to offset some of the effects of the historically low prime rate based loans.
The following table shows an analysis of net interest margin for the three month periods ending March 31, 2002 and 2001.
For the three months ended March 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Average Interest Average Average earned Yield Average Earned yield Balance or paid Or cost balance Or paid or cost ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) Assets ------ Taxable securities....................... $ 55,213 $ 780 5.69% $ 44,149 $ 689 6.24% Tax-exempt securities (1)................ 9,534 109 7.02% 3,339 41 7.67% Loans.................................... 574,590 9,560 6.67% 425,631 9,482 8.93% Fed funds sold........................... 3,289 14 1.67% 689 9 5.50% Federal Home Loan Bank stock............. 3,782 59 6.25% 3,003 59 7.87% -------- ------ -------- ------ Total interest earning assets.......... 646,408 10,522 6.56% 476,811 10,280 8.66% Noninterest earning assets Cash and due from banks................ 28,226 20,546 Other.................................. 17,693 11,237 -------- -------- Total assets......................... $692,327 $508,594 ======== ======== Liabilities ----------- NOWs and MMDAs........................... $245,797 1,006 1.66% $177,432 1,701 3.89% Savings.................................. 19,352 48 1.00% 10,979 50 1.85% IRAs..................................... 14,093 176 5.08% 10,294 161 6.33% Time deposits............................ 202,990 2,123 4.24% 157,748 2,534 6.51% Fed funds borrowed....................... 3,450 17 1.97% 3,459 51 5.86% Other borrowings......................... 75,475 995 5.27% 64,060 952 5.94% -------- ------ -------- ------ Total interest bearing liabilities..... 561,157 4,365 3.14% 423,972 5,449 5.20% Noninterest bearing liabilities Noninterest bearing demand accounts.... 60,103 43,411 Other noninterest bearing liabilities.. 3,634 2,394 Shareholders' equity..................... 67,433 38,817 -------- -------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity................................ $692,327 $508,594 ======== ======== Net interest income...................... $6,157 $4,831 ====== ====== Net interest spread...................... 3.42% 3.46% Net interest margin...................... 3.83% 4.04% Ratio of average interest bearing assets to Average interest bearing liabilities... 115.19% 112.46% (1) Yield adjusted to fully tax equivalent.
16
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $705 thousand, as compared to $522 thousand for the first quarter 2001. The increase in loan loss provision is substantially due to the large increase in loans during the quarter, as well as replenishing the allowance for loans charged-off during the periods. For more information about our loan loss reserve, see the earlier discussion on loan loss allowance under Financial Condition on page 13. Along with other financial institutions, management shares a concern for the possible continuing soft economy during 2002. Should the economic climate continue to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of non-performing loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $970 thousand, an increase of $142 thousand, or 17%, over the same period last year. Service charges on deposit accounts is the single largest component of noninterest income, totaling $456 thousand, an increase of $142 thousand as compared to first quarter 2001. The increased service charge income is reflective of the expanded customer account base. Gain on sale of mortgage loans totaled $212 thousand for the first quarter of 2002, as compared to $266 thousand for the first quarter last year. While short term interest rates have remained flat over the quarter, long term mortgage rates have increased and slowed the mortgage refinance activity from the peak reached during the fourth quarter 2001. New and existing home purchase mortgage activity remains brisk, however given the lower level of refinance activity, we anticipate 2002 mortgage sale gains to be lower than 2001 when we experienced record high volumes of refinance activity.
Noninterest expense totaled $4.2 million for the quarter, as compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period in 2001. Salary and benefits increased by $294 thousand, or 16%, and was the primary increase in the quarter. The increases were a result of additional staff as compared to the 2001 period, as well as annual staff merit increases. The staff growth reflects the expansion of staff required to handle the growing lending portfolios and operational personnel necessary to support increased customer activity. Other increases included occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, and other support related expenses, such as courier, telephone, postage, and outside services. All of these costs are customer activity and branch infrastructure related, and increase as a result of new customer activity being generated.
Merger Impact On income Statement
Our income for the remainder of 2002 will be impacted by the net income earned by Grand Bank and, as discussed earlier under Merger Impact on Balance Sheet on page 15, the amortization of intangibles acquired from Grand Bank Financial which is estimated to be approximately $392,000 on a pre-tax basis for the remainder of 2002. For additional information and proforma financial statements, please refer to Form 8-K reporting the transaction which was filed with the SEC by the Company on April 11,2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We obtained our initial equity capital, in the amount of $8.2 million, as a result of a private placement by Macatawa Bank in November 1997. We raised additional equity capital of $14.1 million in our initial public offering completed in April 1998. Due to our rapid growth, additional equity capital was required. In 1999, we raised $14.6 million of equity capital net proceeds in an offering made to our shareholders. Substantially all of the proceeds of this offering were subsequently contributed to Macatawa Banks capital to support required regulatory capital levels. Our continuing asset growth required us to contribute an additional $8.0 million of capital to Macatawa Bank during 2000. The contributed capital came from our cash reserves, as well as borrowings arranged to provide capital flexibility. The borrowings consisted of a $5.0 million credit facility secured from one of our correspondent banks in September 2000. During the second quarter of 2001, we completed a common stock offering, issuing 1,610,000 shares of common stock, resulting in net proceeds to us of $23.7 million. We used a portion of the proceeds from the capital offering to pay off our credit facility, as well as to contribute additional capital to Macatawa Bank to maintain regulatory capital levels. The remaining new capital is available for future growth. At March 31, 2002, our Tier I Capital as a percent of average assets was 9.6%, and our total capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.0%, as compared to 7.7% and 9.9% respectively at March 31, 2001.
We declared our first cash dividend during the fourth quarter of 2000 in the amount of $.07 per share. We subsequently paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.07 per share during 2001. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the cash dividend was increased to $.08 per share, an increase of 14%. It is anticipated that we will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in the future. On May 8, 2002, we distributed a 4% stock dividend to our shareholders. This was the second consecutive annual stock dividend, and was an increase over the 3% dividend paid in May of 2001.

The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to provide funds to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows of deposits and to take advantage of interest rate market opportunities. Our sources of liquidity include loan payments by our borrowers, maturity and sales of securities available for sale, growth of deposits and deposit equivalents, federal funds sold, our borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and our issuance of common stock. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of our customers. Our customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or depositors wanting to withdraw funds.
Forward Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements as that term is used in the securities laws. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business and strategies are forward-looking statements. In addition, the words anticipates, believes, estimates, seeks, expects, plans, intends, and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The presentation and discussion of the provision and allowance for loan losses and statements concerning future profitability or future growth or increases, are examples of inherently forward looking statements in that they involve judgments and statements of belief as to the outcome of future events. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and our future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning us and our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk Analysis
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. Macatawa bank has only limited agricultural-related loan assets, and therefore has no significant exposure to changes in commodity prices. Therefore, our market risk exposure is mainly comprised of our sensitivity to interest rate risk. Our balance sheet has sensitivity, in various categories of assets and liabilities, to changes in prevailing rates in the U.S. for prime rate, mortgage rates, U.S. Treasury rates and various money market indexes. Our asset/liability management process aids us in providing liquidity while maintaining a balance between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
We use two interest rate risk measurement techniques in our interest rate risk management. The first is static gap analysis. This measures the difference between the dollar amounts of interest sensitive assets and liabilities that may be refinanced or repriced during a given time period. A significant repricing gap could result in a negative impact to our net interest margin during periods of changing market interest rates.
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
18
The following table summarizes our interest rate repricing gaps (in thousands) for selected maturity periods as of March 31, 2002.
<3 Months 3-12 Months 1-5 Years Over 5 Years Total Assets: Fixed rate loans................... $ 20,305 $42,615 $144,494 $29,566 $236,980 Variable rate loans................ 325,926 1,484 24,068 4,193 355,671 Taxable Securities................. --- 3,063 48,410 7,081 58,554 Tax-Exempt Securities.............. --- --- --- 10,979 10,979 Other Securities................... --- --- --- 3,782 3,782 Federal Funds Sold................. 2,500 --- --- --- 2,500 Loan Loss Reserve.................. --- --- --- --- (8,174) Cash & Due From Banks.............. --- --- --- --- 25,226 Fixed Assets....................... --- --- --- --- 16,181 Other Assets....................... --- --- --- --- 6,824 -------- ------- -------- ------- -------- TOTAL $348,731 $47,162 $216,972 $55,601 $708,523 ======== ======= ======== ======= ======== Liabilities: Time deposits $100,000 and over.... 46,907 35,115 35,244 -- 117,266 Time deposits under $100,000 24,957 31,063 40,174 -- 96,194 Repo's & Borrowed Money............ 3,000 2,000 39,312 31,000 75,312 Savings & IRAs..................... 24,825 4,177 6,892 160 36,054 NOW & money market accounts 249,055 --- --- -- 249,055 Non-Interest Bearing Deposits...... --- --- --- -- 63,295 Other Liabilities & Equity......... --- --- --- --- 71,347 -------- ------- -------- ------- -------- TOTAL $348,744 $72,355 $121,622 $31,160 $708,523 ======== ======= ======== ======= ======== Period interest rate gap:.......... (13) (25,193) 95,350 24,441 Cumulative interest rate gap:...... (13) (25,206) 70,144 94,585 Cumulative interest rate gap to total assets.................... (0.00%) (3.56%) 9.90% 13.35% Rate sensitive assets to rate Sensitive liabilities.............. 1.00 0.65 1.78 1.78 Cumulative rate sensitive assets to Rate sensitive liabilities......... 1.00 .94 1.13 1.16
The above table shows that total liabilities maturing or repricing within one year exceeded assets maturing within the same time period by $25 million. However, repricing and cash flows of various categories of assets and liabilities are subject to competitive and other influences that are beyond our control. Gap analysis also does not reflect the magnitude of interest rate changes on net interest income as a result of the various assets and liabilities shown as re-priceable within twelve months. As a result, various assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice in other periods or at different volumes.
The second interest rate risk measurement used is simulation analysis. We use a computer-based earnings simulation model to estimate the effects of various interest rate environments on the balance sheet structure and net interest income. The simulation model assesses the direction and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include repayment speeds on various loan and investment assets, cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets, cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive liabilities, and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit pricing. We also include pricing caps and floors on discretionary priced liability products which limit both how low various checking and savings products could go under declining interest rates, as well as how high they could go in a rising interest rate environment. These caps and floors reflect our pricing philosophy in response to changing interest rates.
19
In running the simulation model, we first forecast the next twelve months of net interest income under an assumed environment of constant market interest rates. Next, immediate and parallel interest rate shocks are constructed in the model. These rate shocks reflect changes of equal magnitude to all market interest rates. The next twelve months of net interest income are then forecast under each of the rate shock scenarios. The resulting change in net interest income is an indication of the sensitivity of our earnings to directional changes in market interest rates. This model is based solely on parallel changes in market rates and does not reflect the levels of interest rate risk that may arise from other factors such as changes in the spreads between key market rates or in the shape of the Treasury yield curve. The net interest income sensitivity is monitored by the Asset/Liability Committee which evaluates the results in conjunction with acceptable interest rate risk parameters. The quarterly rate simulation results are reported to the board of directors. The simulation also measures the change in the Economic Value of Equity. This represents the change in the net present value of our assets and liabilities under the same parallel shifts in interest rates, as calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using a market-based discount rate. Cash flow estimates incorporate anticipated changes in prepayment speeds of loans and securities.
The following table shows the suggested impact on net interest income over the next twelve months, and the Economic Value of Equity based on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2002 (dollars in thousands).
Economic Value Percent Net Interest Percent Interest Rate Scenario of Equity Change Income Change Interest rates up 300 basis points $46,927 (16.18)% $27,983 17.56% Interest rates up 200 basis points 50,527 ( 9.75) 26,541 11.50 Interest rates up 100 basis points 53,624 ( 4.22) 25,083 5.37 No change in interest rates 55,984 23,804 Interest rates down 100 basis points 57,169 2.12 22,373 ( 6.01) Interest rates down 200 basis points 57,140 2.06 20,323 (14.62) Interest rates down 300 basis points 56,543 1.00 17,368 (27.04)
In addition to changes in interest rates, the level of future net interest income is also dependent on a number of other variables, including: the growth, composition and absolute levels of loans, deposits, and other earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; economic and competitive conditions; potential changes in lending, investing and deposit gathering strategies; client preferences.
