NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) MANAGEMENT'S OPINION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation S-X. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. Prior period financial statements
have been reformatted and/or had amounts reclassified, as necessary, to
conform with the current presentation.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments, which are those of a recurring nature, and disclosures
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June
30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the results of operations for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows for the six
month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
The Company and its subsidiaries follow accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices applicable
to the banking industry. The principles which materially affect its
financial position, results of operations and cash flows are set forth in
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which are included in the
Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Stock-based Compensation
- ------------------------
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans,
consisting of the Associate Stock Incentive Plan ("AIP"), the Associate Stock
Purchase Plan ("ASPP") and the Director Stock Purchase Plan ("DSPP").
Pursuant to the AIP, the Company executed an executive incentive stock option
arrangement effective January 1, 2004. As a result of SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 ("SFAS
123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," prospectively to all awards
granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003. Awards under the
Company's plans vest over periods ranging from six months to four years.
Therefore, the cost related to stock-based associate compensation included in
the determination of net income for 2003 is different than that which would
have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all
awards since the original effective date of SFAS 123, as a result of the
difference between compensation measurement dates under SFAS 123 and APB 25,
the differences in what instruments are considered non-compensatory, and the
fact that awards granted prior to January 1, 2003 were accounted for under
APB 25. The cost related to all stock-based associate compensation included
in net income is accounted for under the fair value based method during 2004
as all awards have grant dates after January 1, 2003.

(9) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires that certain
transactions and other economic events that bypass the income statement be
displayed as other comprehensive income. The Company's comprehensive income
(loss) consists of net income (loss) and changes in unrealized gains on
securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes. Changes in unrealized
gains (losses), net of taxes, on securities are reported as other
comprehensive income (loss) and totaled $(1.4 million) for both the three and
six months ended June 30, 2004, and $(92,000) and $(577,000), respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. Reclassification
adjustments consist only of realized gains on sales of investment securities
and were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 30, 2004, Capital City Bank Group, Inc.'s wholly-owned banking
subsidiary, Capital City Bank, entered into an agreement with Elan Financial
Services, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp. The agreement
provides for Capital City Bank to sell its portfolio of credit card
receivables to Elan and for Elan to provide additional credit card services
to Capital City Bank. As part of the arrangement, Capital City Bank will
continue to issue and support credit card products and services, and Elan
will enable Capital City to offer a bankcard with enhanced features. The
transaction closed August 5, 2004, and is expected to generate an after-tax
gain of approximately $4.2 million for Capital City. The credit card
portfolio sold to Elan has approximately 22,000 accounts and $22.7 million in
receivables.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental
information, which 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.
The MD&A is divided into subsections entitled "Results of Operations,"
"Financial Condition," "Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Legal
Developments," and "Accounting Policies." Information therein should
facilitate a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect
the Company's earnings performance and financial condition, and how the
Company's performance during 2004 compares with prior years. Throughout this
section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and its subsidiary, collectively, are
referred to as "CCBG" or the "Company." Capital City Bank and its
subsidiaries are referred to as "CCB" or the "Bank."
The period-to-date averages used in this report are based on daily balances
for each respective period. In certain circumstances, comparing average
balances for the comparable quarters of consecutive years may be more
meaningful than simply analyzing year-to-date averages. Therefore, where
appropriate, quarterly averages have been presented for analysis and have
been noted as such. See Table I for average balances and interest rates
presented on a quarterly basis.
This Report and other Company communications and statements may contain
"forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements include,
among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals,
expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks
and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of
which are beyond our control. The words "may," "could," "should," "would,"
"believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The
following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to
differ materially from what is contemplated in those forward-looking
statements:
* The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength
of the local economies in which we conduct operations may be different
than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in
credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant
effect on our loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses;
* Worldwide political and social unrest, including acts of war and
terrorism;
* The effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and
laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System;
* Inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
* Adverse conditions in the stock market and other capital markets and
the impact of those conditions on our capital markets and capital
management activities, including our investment and wealth management
advisory businesses and brokerage activities;
* Changes in U.S. foreign or military policy;
* The timely development of competitive new products and services by us
and the acceptance of those products and services by new and existing
customers;
* The willingness of customers to accept third-party products marketed by
us;
* The willingness of customers to substitute competitors' products and
services for our products and services and vice versa;
13
* The impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations
(including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance);
* Technological changes;
* Changes in consumer spending and saving habits;
* The effect of corporate restructuring, acquisitions or dispositions,
including the actual restructuring and other related charges and the
failure to achieve the expected gains, revenue growth or expense
savings from such corporate restructuring, acquisitions or
dispositions;
* The growth and profitability of our noninterest or fee income being
less than expected;
* Unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;
* The impact of changes in accounting policies by the Securities and
Exchange Commission;
* Adverse changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our
borrowers, which could impact the repayment of those borrowers'
outstanding loans; and
* Our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive.
Also, we do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf.
The Company is headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and as of June 30, 2004
had 57 banking offices, five residential lending offices, 73 ATMs and 11 Bank
'N Shop locations in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.
On May 13, 2004, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement
to acquire Farmers and Merchants Bank in Dublin, Georgia, a $411 million
asset institution with three offices in Laurens County. The purchase price
is $66.6 million, payable in a combination of cash and stock. The
acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval and the approval of
Farmers and Merchants Bank's shareowners, is scheduled to close in the fourth
quarter of 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income
- ----------
Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were $6.4 million,
or $0.48 per diluted share, and $11.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share,
respectively. This compares to $6.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, and
$12.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share in 2003.
Growth in operating revenues (defined as net interest income plus noninterest
income) of 5.1% and 1.2% over the comparable three and six month periods in
2003, respectively, was offset by higher expense levels, reflecting the
addition of three new offices in the second half of 2003 and the acquisition
of Quincy State Bank in the first quarter of 2004. Growth in operating
revenues was driven by higher net interest income and noninterest income.
Net interest income increased 4.7% and .51%, respectively, on a dollar basis,
for the three and six month periods due primarily to lower interest expense.
Growth in noninterest income resulted from higher deposit and asset
management fees, and other income. A condensed earnings summary is presented
below.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Net interest income represents the Company's single largest source of
earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning
assets, less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Second
quarter of 2004 taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $877,000, or
4.3%, over the comparable quarter in 2003. During the first half of 2004,
taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $91,000, or 0.2%, over the
first half of 2003. The favorable impact of lower funding costs, an improved
earning asset mix and the recent bank acquisition was partially offset by
declining asset yields attributable to the low interest rate environment.
Table I on page 24 provides a comparative analysis of the Company's average
balances and interest rates.
For the three months period ended June 30, 2004, taxable-equivalent interest
income increased $204,000 or 0.8%, over the comparable period in 2003. During
the first half of 2004, taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $1.5
million, or 3.1%, respectively, over the comparable period in 2003. During
the second quarter of 2004, growth in earning assets resulting from strong
loan demand and the recent acquisition of Quincy State Bank offset the lower
yields attributable to the low rate environment. New loan production and
repricing of existing earning assets produced a 63 basis point reduction in
the yield on earning assets, which declined from 6.06% for the second quarter
in 2003 to 5.74% for the same period in 2004. The Federal Reserve increased
interest rates slightly during the second quarter of 2004 which will start to
have a minimal impact on new production and repricing. Repricing of existing
assets and new production (at current rate levels) will continue to put
pressure on earning asset yields.
Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004
declined $673,000, or 17.3% and $1.6 million, or 19.9%, respectively, from
the comparable prior year periods. The favorable variances were primarily
attributable to lower rates and were further enhanced by a favorable shift in
mix (i.e. increase in noninterest bearing deposits). The average rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities in 2004 declined 29 basis points over first half
of 2003, to a level of 1.07%.
15
The Company's interest rate spread (defined as the average federal taxable-
equivalent yield on earning assets less the average rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities) decreased from 4.77% in the first half of 2003 to 4.63%
in the comparable period of 2004.
The Company's net interest margin percentage (defined as taxable-equivalent
net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 4.93% in the first
half of 2004, versus 5.13% in the first half of 2003. The reduction in both
the spread and margin reflects the lower yields. The margin percentage may
continue to decline slightly over the next quarter as historically low
interest rates continue to prevail.
Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
The provision for loan losses was $580,000 and $1.5 million, respectively,
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, compared to $886,000
and $1.7 million for the same periods in 2003. The provision decrease in the
first half of 2004 reflects a lower level of net charge-offs between
comparable periods.
Net charge-offs totaled $649,000, or .18% of average loans for the quarter
compared to $889,000, or .27% for the second quarter of 2003. The primary
reason for the decrease in net charge-offs is due to the higher level of
recoveries in the second quarter of 2004.
Charge-off activity for the respective periods is set forth below:

Noninterest Income
- ------------------
Noninterest income increased $603,000, or 5.8%, and $539,000, or 2.6%,
respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003,
reflecting higher deposit and asset management fees, and other income. These
increases were partially offset by a reduction in mortgage banking revenues.
Noninterest income represented 34.4% and 34.0% of operating revenue for the
three and six-month periods of 2004 compared to 34.2% and 33.6% for the same
periods in 2003.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $353,000, or 8.7%, and
$330,000, or 4.1%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month
periods for 2003. Service charge revenues in any one period are dependent on
the number of accounts, primarily transaction accounts, and the level of
activity subject to service charges. The increase is
16
attributable to higher NSF/overdraft fees, partially attributable to a recent
change in fee structure and lower NSF/overdraft charge-offs.
Data processing revenues of $703,000 and $1.4 million for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2004 reflect an increase of 15.2% and 14.3% over
the comparable periods in 2003. The increase in both periods was primarily a
result of higher processing revenues from existing financial clients. The
Company currently provides data processing services for six financial clients
and contract processing services for four non-financial clients. During the
first half of 2004 and 2003, financial clients represented approximately
66.1% and 61.2% of total processing revenues, respectively. Management
believes that revenues for the remainder of 2004 will remain consistent with
revenues generated in the first half of the year.
Income from asset management activities increased $300,000, or 46.2%, and
$436,000, or 34.7%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month
periods in 2003. This increase is due primarily to the acquisition of $208
million in managed trust accounts from Synovus Trust Company late in the
first quarter, 2004. At June 30, 2004, assets under management totaled
$632.4 million, representing an increase of $264.2 million, or 71.8% from the
comparable period in 2003.
Mortgage banking revenues declined $554,000, or 36.0%, and $1.2 million, or
41.7%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003.
This decline reflects a slow-down in residential lending markets, which
occurred during the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2003 and continued
through the first half of 2004. This declining trend stabilized in the
second quarter consistent with management expectations as production improved
42% over the first quarter.
Other income increased $405,000, or 11.4%, and $814,000, or 11.6%,
respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003. For
the first half of the year, the Company experienced increases in retail
brokerage fees of $247,000, merchant card processing fees of $361,000,
interchange fees of $56,000, and gain on sale of other real estate of
$218,000.
Noninterest income as a percent of average assets was 2.24% and 2.29%,
respectively, for the first half of 2004 and 2003. The reduction in 2004 is
primarily attributable to the decline in mortgage banking revenues.
Noninterest Expense
- -------------------
Noninterest expense increased $2.1 million, or 10.7%, and $3.7 million, or
9.6%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003.
Factors impacting the Company's noninterest expense during the first six
months of 2004 are discussed below.
Compensation expense increased $1.0 million, or 10.7%, and $1.7 million, or
8.3% over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003. For the first
half of the year, the Company experienced increases in associate salaries of
$1.2 million, payroll tax expense of $106,000, pension plan expense of
$243,000, and associate insurance expense of $212,000. The increases in
associate salaries and payroll tax is primarily attributable to the late
first quarter integration of Quincy State Bank. The higher pension costs is
due primarily to a lower discount rate and rate of return on plan assets used
for the 2004 expense projection. The increase in associate insurance expense
is primarily attributable to additional participants and higher healthcare
insurance premiums.
Occupancy expense, including premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment
increased $342,000, or 10.1%, and $858,000, or 13.1%, respectively, over the
comparable three and six month periods in 2003. For the first half of the
year, the Company experienced increases in depreciation of $258,000,
maintenance and repairs of $167,000, premises rental of $111,000, utilities
of $63,000, and other FF&E expense of $238,000 from the comparable period in
2003. The increase in depreciation is primarily attributable to the addition
of three new banking offices in the second half of 2003. Higher maintenance
and
17
repairs expense was driven by upgrades and repairs to existing banking
offices and incremental expense incurred with the addition of three new
banking offices in the second half of 2003. The increase in premises rental
expenses is due primarily to a rent
increase for one banking office. Other FF&E expense increased due to higher
expenses for software licenses and maintenance agreements.
Other noninterest expense increased $701,000, or 11.0%, and $1.2 million, or
9.8%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2003.
For the first half of the year, the increase was primarily attributable to:
1) higher professional fees of $449,000; 2) higher advertising expense of
$541,000; and 3) higher interchange service fees of $183,000. Consulting
projects, which may vary as to their magnitude and timing, led to higher
professional fees. Advertising expense increased consistent with several
initiatives implemented in the second quarter and will fluctuate consistent
with advertising strategies planned throughout the year. The increase in
interchange service fees is attributable to higher merchant card processing
volume and is offset by increased merchant card processing fees reflected in
other income.
Net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus noninterest expense,
excluding intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses) as a percent
of average assets was 2.14% in the first half of 2004 compared to 1.91% in
2003. The Company's efficiency ratio (noninterest expense, excluding
intangible amortization and one-time merger expense, expressed as a percent
of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income)
was 65.87% for the first half of 2004 compared to 60.76% for the comparable
period in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to higher noninterest
expense.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The provision for income taxes decreased $238,000, or 6.5%, during the second
quarter and $1.4 million, or 18.5%, during the first six months of 2004,
relative to the comparable prior year periods, reflecting lower taxable
income and a decline in the effective tax rate. The Company's effective tax
rate for the first half of 2004 was 34.5% versus 36.3% for the comparable
period in 2003. The decline in the effective tax rate is primarily
attributable to a modification of the Company's tax structure enabling the
Company to more effectively manage its tax position.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Asset and liability balances include those of Quincy State Bank, which was
acquired on March 19, 2004.
The Company's average assets increased $142.5 million, or 8.0%, to $1.93
billion for the quarter-ended June 30, 2004 from $1.79 billion in the
comparable quarter of 2003. Average earning assets of $1.7 billion increased
$109.5 million, or 6.8%, from the comparable quarter of 2003 driven by a
$174.4 million, or 13.3%, increase in average loans. Offsetting the increase
in average loans was a decrease in short-term investments of $68.7 million,
or 60.1%. Table I on page 24 presents average balances for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
The Company ended the second quarter of 2004 with approximately $24.8 million
in average net overnight funds. This represents a decline of $74.5 million,
or 75.0% from the 2003 level of $99.3 million. For a further discussion on
liquidity see the section "Liquidity and Capital Resources."
The investment portfolio functions as a key element of liquidity and
asset/liability management. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the average
investment portfolio increased $3.8 million, or 2.1%, from the second quarter
of 2003. U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency security balances increased by $32.3
million from the second quarter of 2003 offset by a decrease in mortgage-
backed, municipal, and other security balances of $28.5 million. Management
will continue to evaluate the need to purchase securities for the investment
portfolio throughout 2004, taking into consideration liquidity needed to fund
planned loan growth and pledging requirements.
18
Securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses
associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a separate
component of shareowners' equity. At June 30, 2004, shareowners' equity
included a net unrealized gain of $21,000 compared to a gain of $1.4 million
at December 31, 2003. The decrease in value reflects the slight increase in
interest rates realized during the first half of 2004.
The increase in average loans was driven by strong loan production for the
first half of the year and $90 million in loans acquired in the Quincy State
Bank merger. Strong gains were realized in the commercial, real estate
(construction, commercial mortgage, and home equity), and indirect consumer
loan categories of $35.9 million, or 23.9%, $113.4 million, or 12.4%, and
$22.5 million, or 11.6%, respectively.
The Company's nonperforming loans were $3.0 million at June 30, 2004, versus
$2.3 million at year-end and $3.8 million for the same period in 2003. As a
percent of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses represented
453% at June 30, 2004 versus 530% at December 31, 2003 and 331% at June 30,
2003. 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 $1.1 million at June 30,
2004, versus $5.0 million at December 31, 2003 and $1.3 million at June 30,
2003. The ratio of nonperforming assets as a percent of loans plus other
real estate was .27% at June 30, 2004 compared to .54% at December 31, 2003
and .38% at June 30, 2003. The Company expects strong credit quality to
continue into the third quarter.
Management maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to
provide for the estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of
the balance sheet date. Credit losses arise from the borrowers' ability and
willingness to repay, and from other risks inherent in the lending process,
including collateral risk, operations risk, concentration risk and economic
risk. All related risks of lending are considered when assessing the
adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The allowance for loan losses is
established through a provision charged to expense. Loans are charged
against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance for loan losses is based on management's judgment of
overall loan quality. This is a significant estimate based on a detailed
analysis of the loan portfolio. The balance can and will change based on
changes in the assessment of the portfolio's overall credit quality.
Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a
quarterly basis.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004 was $13.7 million, an increase
of $1.2 million over year-end 2003. The increase reflects the integration of
acquired loan reserves from Quincy State Bank during the first quarter. At
quarter-end 2004, the allowance represented 0.90% of total loans. While
there can be no assurance that the Company will not sustain loan losses in a
particular period that are substantial in relation to the size of the
allowance, management's assessment of the loan portfolio does not indicate a
likelihood of this occurrence. It is management's opinion that the allowance
at June 30, 2004 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio
at quarter-end.
Average total deposits increased $122.8 million, or 8.7%, to $1.54 billion for
the quarter-ended June 30, 2004 from $1.42 billion in the comparable quarter of
2003. The increase was driven by a $72.5 million increase in nonmaturity
deposits, $26.6 million increase in NOW accounts, and $20.3 million increase in
savings accounts. These increases are primarily reflective of the deposit
accounts acquired from Quincy State Bank late in the first quarter.
The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 31.0%
for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 28.5% for the second quarter of
2003. For the same periods, the ratio of average interest bearing
liabilities to average earning assets was 71.2% compared to 72.5%.
19
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
- ---------
Liquidity for a banking institution is the availability of funds to meet
increased loan demand and/or excessive deposit withdrawals. Management
monitors the Company's financial position in an effort to ensure the Company
has 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 include cash received through ordinary
business activities (i.e., collection of interest and fees), federal funds
sold, loan and investment maturities, bank lines of credit for the Company,
approved lines for the purchase of federal funds by CCB and Federal Home Loan
Bank advances. The Company maintains a $25.0 million revolving line of
credit. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had no borrowings under the
revolving line of credit.
During the first half of 2004, the Company increased borrowings by $12.7
million due primarily to the assumption of $3.0 million in FHLB advances from
the Quincy State Bank acquisition, and two advances totaling $9.7 million
from the FHLB to match fund loan growth. For the first half of the year, the
Bank made scheduled FHLB advance payments totaling $920,000 and in March of
2004 repaid a $20 million advance from the FHLB with a rate of 2.22%. This
advance originated during the third quarter of 2002, when $75 million was
borrowed from the FHLB to fund growth in loan demand and mitigate the adverse
liquidity effect caused by a decline in certificates of deposit.
Capital
- -------
The Company's equity capital was $209.7 million as of June 30, 2004 compared
to $202.8 million as of December 31, 2003. 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 8.34% at June
30, 2004 compared to 9.51% at December 31, 2003. Further, the Company's
risk-adjusted capital ratio of 10.98% at June 30, 2004 exceeds the 8.0%
minimum requirement under risk-based regulatory guidelines.
Adequate capital and financial strength is paramount to the stability of CCBG
and its subsidiary bank. Cash dividends declared and paid should not place
unnecessary strain on the Company's capital levels. Although a consistent
dividend payment is believed to be favorably viewed by the financial markets
and shareowners, the Board of Directors will declare dividends only if the
Company is considered to have adequate capital. Future capital requirements
and corporate plans are considered when the Board considers a dividend
payment. Dividends declared and paid during the first half of 2004 totaled
$.360 per share compared to $.306 per share for the first half of 2003, an
increase of 17.7%. The dividend payout ratios for the second quarter of 2004
and 2003 were 41.4% and 34.8%, respectively.
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 the Bank. At June 30, 2004, these regulations and covenants did
not impair the Company's (or the Bank's) ability to declare and pay
dividends or to meet other existing obligations in the normal course of
business.
During the first six months of 2004, shareowners' equity increased $6.9
million, or 6.8%, on an annualized basis. Growth in equity during the first
half of the year was positively impacted by net income of $11.3 million and
the issuance of common stock of $1.8 million. Equity was reduced by
dividends paid during the first half by $4.8 million, or $.3600 per share and
a decrease in the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of
$1.4 million. At June 30, 2004, the Company's common stock had a book value
of $15.80 per diluted share compared to $15.27 at December 31, 2003.
On March 30, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 625,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. On January 24,
2002, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an
additional 312,500 shares of its outstanding common stock. The purchases
will be made in the open market or in privately negotiated
20
transactions. The Company did not purchase any shares in the first half of
2004. From March 30, 2000 through June 30, 2004, the Company repurchased
572,707 shares at an average purchase price of $19.18 per share.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
- -----------------------------------
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk. The Company does not
currently engage in the use of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate
risks. However, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-
balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had $368.8 million in commitments to extend
credit and $15.2 million in standby letters of credit. 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 of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments
issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments
and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require
funding at historical levels, management does not anticipate that such
funding will adversely impact its ability to meet on-going obligations. In
the event these commitments require funding in excess of historical levels,
management believes current liquidity, available lines of credit from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, investment security maturities and the Company's
credit facility provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these
commitments.
Contractual Cash Obligations. The Company maintains certain debt and
operating lease commitments that require cash payments. The table below
details those future cash commitments as of June 30, 2004:

LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS
Prior to 2002, the Bank maintained relationships with a small number of
Independent Service Organizations ("ISO"s) in connection with its card
processing operations. Certain merchant clients of one ISO have alleged they
are entitled to receive financial reserves placed with the ISO. The Bank is
currently named as a co-defendant in one lawsuit brought against the ISO by a
merchant. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this
lawsuit will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations. The Bank no longer maintains merchant service
relationships with ISOs.
21
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
The consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company
to make various estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company believes that, of its
significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of
judgment and complexity.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established
through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Provisions are made to
reserve for estimated losses in loan balances. The allowance for loan losses
is a significant estimate and is evaluated quarterly by the Company for
adequacy. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce a
different required allowance, and thereby a larger or smaller provision
recognized as expense in any given reporting period. A further discussion of
the allowance for loan losses can be found in the section entitled "Allowance
for Loan Losses" and Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K.
Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and core
deposit assets that were recognized in connection with various acquisitions.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the
fair market value of their identifiable net assets. The Company performs an
impairment review on an annual basis to determine if there has been
impairment of its goodwill. The Company has determined that no impairment
existed at December 31, 2003. Impairment testing requires management to make
significant judgments and estimates relating to the fair value of its
identified reporting units. Significant changes to these estimates may have
a material impact on the Company's reported results.
Core deposit assets represent the premium the Company paid for core deposits.
Core deposit intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method over
various periods ranging from 7-10 years, with the majority being amortized
over approximately 10 years. Generally, core deposits refer to nonpublic,
nonmaturing deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW, money
market and savings. The Company makes certain estimates relating to the
useful life of these assets, and rate of run-off based on the nature of the
specific assets and the customer bases acquired. If there is a reason to
believe there has been a permanent loss in value, management will assess
these assets for impairment. Any changes in the original estimates may
materially affect reported earnings.
Pension Assumptions: The Company has a defined benefit pension plan for the
benefit of substantially all associates of the Company and its subsidiary.
The Company's funding policy with respect to the pension plan is to
contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum funding
requirements as set by law. Pension expense, reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income in noninterest expense as "Salaries and Associate
Benefits", is determined by an external actuarial valuation based on
assumptions that are evaluated annually as of December 31, the measurement
date for the pension obligation. The Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a
prepaid pension benefit cost due to funding levels and unrecognized actuarial
amounts. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the pension
obligation are the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the
present value of the pension obligation, the weighted-average expected long-
term rate of return on plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual
compensation increases. These assumptions are re-evaluated annually with the
external actuaries, taking into consideration both current market conditions
and anticipated long-term market conditions.
The weighted-average discount rate is determined by matching anticipated
Retirement Plan cash flows for a 30-year period to long-term corporate Aa-
rated bonds and solving for the underlying rate of return which investing in
such securities would generate. This methodology is applied consistently
from year-to-year. The discount rate utilized for 2004 is 6.25%.
22
The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is
determined based on the current and anticipated future mix of assets in the
plan. The assets currently consist of equity securities, U.S. Government and
Government agency debt securities, and other securities (typically temporary
liquid funds awaiting investment). The weighted-average expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets utilized for 2004 is 8.0%.
The assumed rate of annual compensation increases of 5.5% in 2004 is based on
expected trends in salaries and the associate base. This assumption is not
expected to change materially in 2004.
Detailed information on components of the Company's net benefit cost is
provided in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Company's 2003 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified the
consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue 03-1, "The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments" (EITF 03-1). EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an
investment is considered impaired, whether impairment is other-than-
temporary, and measurement of an impairment loss. An investment is considered
impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost.
Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (a) the
investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable
period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value up to (or
beyond) the cost of the investment; and (b) evidence indicating that the cost
of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs
evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be other-than-
temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the
difference between the investment's cost and its fair value. EITF 03-1 is
effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2004. Gross unrealized
losses on available for sale securities was $1.0 million at June 30, 2004.
The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of EITF 03-1. The amount of
other than temporary impairment to be recognized, if any, will be dependent
on market conditions and management's intent and ability at the time of the
evaluation to hold underwater investments until a forecasted recovery in the
fair value up to and beyond the adjusted cost.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Overview
- --------
Market risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates,
commodity prices and equity prices. The Company has risk management policies
to monitor and limit exposure to market risk and does not actively
participate in activities that give rise to significant market risk involving
exchange rates, commodity prices or equity prices. In asset and liability
management activities, policies are in place that are designed to minimize
structural interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Management
- -----------------------------
The normal course of business activity exposes CCBG to interest rate risk.
Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market value
of the Company's financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income.
The Company seeks to avoid fluctuations in its net interest margin and to
maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk through periods
of changing interest rates. Accordingly, the Company's interest rate
sensitivity and liquidity are monitored on an ongoing basis by its Asset and
Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which oversees market risk management and
establishes risk measures, limits and policy guidelines for managing the
amount of interest rate risk and its effects on net interest income and
capital. A variety of measures are used to provide for a comprehensive view
of the magnitude of interest rate risk, the distribution of risk, the level
of risk over time and the exposure to changes in certain interest rate
relationships.
ALCO continuously monitors and manages the balance between interest rate-
sensitive assets and liabilities. ALCO's objective is to manage the impact
of fluctuating market rates on net interest income within acceptable levels.
In order to meet this objective, management may adjust the rates charged/paid
on loans/deposits or may shorten/lengthen the duration of assets or
liabilities within the parameters set by ALCO.
The financial assets and liabilities of the Company are classified as other-
than-trading. An analysis of the other-than-trading financial components,
including the fair values, are presented in Table II on page 26. This table
presents the Company's consolidated interest rate sensitivity position as of
June 30, 2004 based upon certain assumptions as set forth in the Notes to the
Table. The objective of interest rate sensitivity analysis is to measure the
impact on the Company's net interest income due to fluctuations in interest
rates. The asset and liability values presented in Table II may not
necessarily be indicative of the Company's interest rate sensitivity over an
extended period of time.
The Company expects rising rates to have a favorable impact on the net
interest margin, subject to the magnitude and timeframe over which the rate
changes occur. However, as general interest rates rise or fall, other
factors such as current market conditions and competition may impact how the
Company responds to changing rates and thus impact the magnitude of change in
net interest income. Nonmaturity deposits offer management greater
discretion as to the direction, timing, and magnitude of interest rate
changes and can have a material impact on the Company's interest rate
sensitivity. In addition, the relative level of interest rates as compared
to the current yields/rates of existing assets/liabilities can impact both
the direction and magnitude of the change in net interest margin as rates
rise and fall from one period to the next.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
- ------------------------------------------------
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any
disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives,
and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The
Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation
and subject to the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance that the
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their
objectives.
Changes in Internal Controls
- ----------------------------
The Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has reviewed the Company's internal controls. There have
been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls during the
Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter, nor subsequent to the date
of their evaluation, that could significantly affect the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures.
