(6) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 1997, Capital City Bank Group adopted SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities." This Statement establishes new rules
for determining whether a transfer of financial assets constitutes a
sale and, if so, the determination of any resulting gain or loss.
This Statement requires that an enterprise recognize only assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, to remove assets only when
control has been surrendered, and to remove liabilities only when they
have been extinguished. The Statement will be effective for the
Company's December 31, 1997 financial statements and is not
anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" which, when adopted, will replace the current methodology
for calculating and presenting earnings per share. Under SFAS No.
128, primary earnings per share will be replaced with a presentation
of basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share will
be replaced with diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed
similarly to fully diluted earnings per share. The Statement will be
effective for the Company's December 31, 1997 financial statements and
is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion sets forth the major factors that have
affected the Company's financial condition and results of operations
and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements. The year-to-date averages used in this report are based
on daily balances for each respective period.
On July 1, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of First
Financial Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal
Bank (collectively referred to as "First Financial"). The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase. Financial comparisons to prior year
periods are not necessarily comparable due to the impact of the
acquisition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income
Net income was $3.0 million, or $.53 per share for the first quarter
of 1997, a per share increase of 17.8% over the $2.6 million, or $.45
per share for the comparable period in 1996. Operating revenues,
which include net interest income and noninterest income, increased
$3.2 million, or 25.2%, over the first quarter of 1996, and was the
most significant factor contributing to the increase in earnings
(dollars in thousands):

(2) Annualized
Net Interest Income
First quarter taxable equivalent net interest income increased $2.3
million, or 23.9%, over the comparable period for 1996. The increase
is attributable to a higher level of earning assets and growth in the
loan portfolio. The acquisition of First Financial contributed
significantly to the Company's growth and increase in net interest
income. Table I on page 14 provides a comparative analysis of the
Company's average balances and interest rates.
Taxable-equivalent interest income increased $4.3 million, or 29.1%,
due to growth in the loan portfolio. Loans, which represent the
Company's highest yielding asset, increased (on average) $226.2
million, or 50.0%, representing 75.7% of total earning assets during
the first quarter of 1997 versus 64.1% for the comparable quarter in
1996. The substantial increase in the loan portfolio reflects the
First Financial acquisition and a reduction in the investment
portfolio. The favorable shift in mix of earning assets contributed
to an increase of 20 basis points in the yield on earning assets which
rose from 8.33% in the first quarter of 1996 to 8.53% in 1996.
Interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 38.9%, due to higher
levels of interest bearing deposits and a shift in deposit mix.
Average deposits increased $166.7 million, or 24.8%, reflecting the
acquisition of First Financial. Certificates of deposit, which
generally represent a higher cost of funds than other deposit
offerings, increased as a percent of average deposits from 38.3% in
the first quarter of 1996 to 45.2% in the first quarter of 1997. This
shift in deposit mix is attributable to the mix of acquired deposits
and led to a 17 basis point increase in the average rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities, which rose from 3.83% in the first
quarter of 1996 to 4.00% in the first quarter of 1997.
The Company's interest rate spread (defined as the average taxable
equivalent yield on earning assets less the average rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities) increased from 4.50% in the first
quarter of 1996 to 4.52% in the comparable quarter for 1997 due to the
higher yield on earning assets. The Company's net interest margin
percentage (defined as taxable-equivalent net interest income divided
by average earning assets) was 5.43% in the first quarter of 1996,
versus 5.32% in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in the margin
reflects the higher costs of funds.
Provisions for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31,
1997, was $456,000 versus $261,000 for the first quarter of 1996. Net
charge-offs, while up slightly from 1996, remain at historically low
levels relative to the size of the loan portfolio. Nonperforming
loans declined $400,000, or 13.3%, during the first quarter. As
compared to year-end, the reserve for loan losses increased slightly
to $8.3 million, and represented 1.20% of total loans versus 1.22%.
For a discussion of the Company's nonperforming loans, see the section
entitled "Financial Condition."
Based on current economic conditions, the low level of nonperforming
loans and net charge-offs, it is management's opinion that the
allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 1997, is sufficient to
provide for losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date.
Charge-off activity for the respective periods is set forth below.
Three Months Ended
March 31,
1997 1996
Net Charge-Offs $363,000 $306,000
Net Charge-Offs (Annualized) as a percent
of Average Loans Outstanding, Net of
Unearned Interest .20% .28%
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $892,000, or 25.1%, over the first
quarter of 1996, which included gains in all major categories except
income from fiduciary activities, which was down slightly. Although
the acquisition of First Financial positively impacted noninterest
income, the increase is principally attributable to the implementation
of recommendations resulting from a profit enhancement program
conducted in the latter half of 1995 and repricing of the Bank's
service fees.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $494,000, or 32.5%. The
increase in the first quarter of 1997, compared to the comparable
quarter in 1996, reflects an increase in the bank service fees which
went into effect on July 1, 1996.
Data processing revenues increased $133,000, or 19.9%, over the first
quarter of 1996. The increase reflects higher processing revenues
associated with both government agencies and third party banks.
Other income increased $292,000, or 27.2%, over the comparable quarter
of 1996. Gains on the sale of real estate loans increased $142,000
due to the acquisition of First Financial. Additionally, check
printing income increased $56,000 and credit life insurance
commissions increased $43,000.
Noninterest income as a percent of average assets was 1.7% for the
first quarter of 1997 versus 1.8% for the comparable quarter in 1996.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense in the first quarter of 1997 increased $2.0
million, or 23.0%, over the first quarter of 1996. The comparison to
first quarter 1996 is substantially impacted by the acquisition of
First Financial. In a linked quarter comparison, noninterest expense
is up $69,000, or .64% versus the fourth quarter 1996.
Compensation expense increased $1.0 million, or 21.1%, over the first
quarter of 1996 reflecting annual raises and an increase in full-time
equivalent employees of 73.
Occupancy expense, including premises, furniture, fixtures and
equipment increased $482,000, or 32.0%. The increase is primarily
attributable to the addition of five new offices through the First
Financial acquisition.
Other noninterest expense increased $532,000, or 21.4%. The increase
was principally attributable to advertising, which was up $131,000, or
102%, and amortization of intangible assets, which was up $165,000, or
271%.
Net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus noninterest expense)
as a percent of average assets was 2.58% in the first quarter of 1997
versus 2.98% for the first quarter of 1996. The Company's efficiency
ratio (noninterest expense expressed as a percent of the sum of
taxable-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income) was
66.5% in the first quarter 1997 compared to 67.1% for the comparable
quarter in 1996. The reduction in the efficiency ratio is
attributable to growth in operating revenues.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased $486,000, or 47.7%, over the
first quarter of 1996. The increase in the provision is attributable
to higher taxable income. The Company's effective tax rate for the
first quarter of 1997 was 33.1% compared to 28.4% for the same quarter
in 1996. The increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to a
decrease in tax exempt income as a percent of taxable income in the
first quarter of 1997 as compared to first quarter of 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average balances for the first quarter of 1997 reflect the acquisition
of First Financial which was consummated on July 1, 1996. Table I on
page 14 presents average balances for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996.
The Company's average assets increased to $999.8 million in the first
quarter of 1997 from $791.2 million in the first quarter of 1996.
Average earning assets were $896.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 versus $705.5 million for the comparable quarter of
1996. The most significant change in the mix of earning assets
occurred through growth in the loan portfolio. Average loans were up
$226.2 million, or 50.0%. The increase in the loan portfolio reflects
the First Financial acquisition and a reduction in the investment
portfolio.
The investment portfolio is a significant component of the Company's
operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity
and asset/liability management. Securities in the Available-for-Sale
portfolio are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses
associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. At March 31, 1997,
shareholders' equity included a net unrealized loss of $389,000
compared to a gain of $82,000 at December 31, 1996. The reduction in
value reflects the rise in interest rates during the first quarter.
At March 31, 1997, the Company's nonperforming loans were $2.6 million
versus $3.0 million at year-end and $4.6 million at March 31, 1996.
As a percent of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses
represented 323% at March 31, 1997 versus 276% at December 31, 1996
and 183% at March 31, 1996. Nonperforming loans include nonaccruing
and restructured loans. Other real estate, which includes property
acquired either through foreclosure or by receiving a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, was $1.6 million at March 31, 1997, versus $1.5 million
at December 31, 1996, and $1.1 million at March 31, 1996. The ratio
of nonperforming assets as a percent of loans plus other real estate
was .60% at March 31, 1997 compared to .66% at December 31, 1996 and
1.00% at March 31, 1996.
Average deposits increased 24.8% from $673.2 million in the first
quarter of 1996, to $840.0 million in the first quarter of 1997. The
growth in deposits is attributable to the acquisition of First
Financial. At the time of acquisition, certificates of deposit
constituted 75% of the acquired deposits. As a result, the Company
experienced a significant shift in its deposit mix. During the first
quarter, certificates of deposit represented 45.2% of total deposits
compared to 38.3% for the comparable quarter in 1996. This shift in
mix has contributed to a compression in the Company's net interest
margin which averaged 5.32% in the first quarter of 1997 versus 5.43%
in 1996.
The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits
was 21.3% for the first quarter of 1997 compared to 24.5% for the
first quarter of 1996. For the same periods, the ratio of average
interest bearing liabilities to average earning assets was 80.0% and
75.9%, respectively. The change in both ratios is primarily
attributable to the acquisition of First Financial.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity, for a financial institution, is the availability of funds
to meet increased loan demand and/or excessive deposit withdrawals.
Management has implemented a financial structure that provides ready
access to sufficient liquid funds to meet normal transaction
requirements, take advantage of investment opportunities and cover
unforeseen liquidity demands. In addition to core deposit growth,
sources of funds available to meet liquidity demands for the
subsidiary banks include federal funds sold, near-term loan
maturities, securities held in the available-for-sale portfolio, and
the ability to purchase federal funds through established lines of
credit with correspondent banks. Additionally, the parent company
maintains a $25.0 million revolving line of credit. As of March 31,
1997, there was $14.5 million outstanding under this facility. On
July 1, 1996, the Company borrowed $15.0 million to fund the
acquisition of First Financial Bancorp. During the first quarter of
1997, principal reductions on the line of credit totaled $500,000.
The Company's equity capital was $91.7 million as of March 31, 1997
compared to $89.5 million as of December 31, 1996. Management
continues to monitor its capital position in relation to its level of
assets with the objective of maintaining a strong capital position.
The leverage ratio was 8.36% at March 31, 1997 compared to 7.87% at
December 31, 1996. Further, the Company's risk-adjusted capital ratio
of 13.73% at March 31, 1997, significantly exceeds the 8.0% minimum
requirement under the risk-based regulatory guidelines.
State and federal regulations as well as the Company's long-term debt
agreements place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by
both the Company and its Group banks. At March 31, 1997, these
regulations and covenants did not impair the Company's (or its Group
banks') ability to declare and pay dividends or to meet other existing
obligations in the normal course of business.
During the first three months of 1997, shareholders' equity increased
$2.2 million, or 9.9%, on an annualized basis. Growth in equity
during the first quarter was adversely impacted by a reduction of
$471,000 in the Company's net unrealized gain on available-for-sale
securities, which declined from an $82,000 gain at December 31, 1996
to a $389,000 loss at March 31, 1997. The loss in value reflects the
rise in interest rates which occurred primarily during March 1997.
Additionally, shareholders' equity reflects the declaration and
payment of dividends totaling $869,000 ($.15 per share) during the
first quarter.
At March 31, 1997, the Company's common stock had a book value of
$15.83 per share compared to $15.49 at December 31, 1996. Pursuant to
the Company's stock repurchase program adopted in 1989, the Company
has repurchased 527,160 shares (split adjusted) of its common stock.
No shares have been repurchased in 1997. During the first quarter,
the Company issued 17,540 shares under its performance incentive and
stock purchase plans.
IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 1997, Capital City Bank Group adopted SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities." This Statement establishes new rules
for determining whether a transfer of financial assets constitutes a
sale and, if so, the determination of any resulting gain or loss.
This Statement requires that an enterprise recognize only assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, to remove assets only when
control has been surrendered, and to remove liabilities only when they
have been extinguished.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" which, when adopted, will replace the
current methodology for calculating and presenting earnings per share.
The Statement will be effective for the Company's December 31, 1997
financial statements.
Neither statement has a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.
