Nonaccruing loans at June 30, 1996 were $1.2 million compared to $4.7 million at December 31, 1995. The Company recognizes income on nonaccrual loans primarily on the cash basis. Any change in the present value of expected cash flows is recognized through the allowance for loan losses. (5) DEPOSITS The composition of the Company's interest bearing deposits at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was as follows (dollars in thousands): June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 NOW Accounts $110,260 $122,517 Money Market Accounts 86,605 67,942 Savings Deposits 77,002 78,522 Other Time Deposits 250,397 262,032 Total Interest Bearing Deposits $524,264 $531,013 (6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 1, 1996, Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (the "Company"), consummated its acquisition of First Financial Bancorp, Inc. a Florida corporation ("First Financial"), parent company to First Federal Bank, Tallahassee, Florida. At June 30, 1996, First Financial had assets of approximately $243.7 million, deposits of approximately $205.1 million and stockholders' equity of approximately $15.3 million. (7) RECLASSIFICATION Pursuant to current state laws, treasury shares are treated as authorized, but unissued. Accordingly, the Company canceled all existing treasury shares and recorded the cancellation as charges to paid-in capital and retained earnings and a credit to treasury stock. At the time the shares previously recorded as treasury shares were originally issued, (January 1, 1984), the book value per share was $8.57. Upon cancellation of the treasury shares, the book value of $8.57 was used to reduce the capital stock accounts ($.01 per share for common stock and $8.56 per share for additional paid-in-capital), and the difference between $8.57 and the cost per share at which the treasury shares were repurchased was charged to retained earnings. All prior period statements presented herein have been reclassified to reflect the cancellation of treasury shares and to conform with current period presentation. ITEM II. 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. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Income Net income was $2.8 million, or $.97 per share for the second quarter of 1996, a per share increase of 29.3% over the $2.2 million, or $.75 per share for the comparable period in 1995. Net income was $5.3 million, or $1.87 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a per share increase of 23.0% over the $4.3 million, or $1.52 per share for comparable period in 1995. Operating revenue, which includes net interest income and noninterest income, increased $2.6 million, or 11.1%, over the first half of 1995, and was the most significant factor contributing to the increase in earnings. For The Three For The Six Months Ended Months Ended June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 Interest and Dividend Income $14,141 $13,590 $28,302 $26,354 Taxable Equivalent Adjustment(1) 429 389 870 779 14,570 13,979 29,172 27,133 Interest Expense 4,888 5,379 9,983 9,821 Net Interest Income (FTE) 9,682 8,600 19,189 17,312 Provision for Loan Losses 262 17 523 291 Taxable Equivalent Adjustment 429 389 870 779 Net Int.

Taxable equivalent net interest income for the first half of 1996 increased $1.9 million, or 10.8%, over the first half of 1995. The increase in both periods is attributable to an improvement in the Company's net interest margin which has been bolstered by loan growth and a reduction in the cost of funds. Table I on page 13 provides a comparative analysis of the Company's average balances and interest rates. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, taxable-equivalent interest income increased $591,000, or 4.2%, and $2.0 million, or 7.5%, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. Interest income has increased due to growth in earning assets and, in particular, loan growth. Loans during the first half of 1996 averaged $458.6 million, representing an increase of $31.6 million, or 7.4%, over the comparable period in 1995, and loans as a percent of average earning assets increased to 65.1% from 63.8%. This shift in the mix lead to a 16 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets during the first six months of 1996 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Interest expense through the first six months of 1996 has increased $162,000, or 1.6%, over the first half of 1995. However, second quarter interest expense decreased $491,000 or 9.1%, over the comparable quarter in 1995. The decrease in the second quarter of 1996 is due to lower rates paid on the Company's deposits, including both transaction and time accounts, and repricing of approximately $31.0 million in promotional certificates of deposit which were issued late in the first quarter of 1995. During the second quarter of 1996, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities fell to 3.68% from 3.83% in the first quarter of 1996 and 4.12% in the second quarter of 1995. 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 4.29% in the first half of 1995 to 4.57% in the comparable 1996 period. The Company's net interest margin percentage (defined as taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) increased from 5.21% in the first half of 1995 to 5.47% in the first half of 1996. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $262,000 and $523,000, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to $17,000 and $291,000 for the comparable periods in 1995. As a result of improving credit quality and continued low net charge-off levels, management discontinued recording a loan loss provision during the second quarter of 1995 and did not resume the provision until the first quarter of 1996. The provision recorded during the first six months of 1996 approximates net charge-offs. For a discussion of the Company's nonperforming loans, see the section entitled "Financial Condition". As of June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6.4 million compared to $7.3 million at June 30, 1995. The allowance as a percent of loans, represented 1.37% and 1.72% at the end of each respective period. Although the allowance for the loan losses has declined over the prior year, it is management's opinion, based on the low level of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, and current economic conditions, that the allowance of $6.4 million, or 1.37% of period-end loans, is sufficient to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 1996. Charge-off activity for the respective periods is set forth below. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 6/30/96 6/30/95 6/30/96 6/30/95 Net Charge-Offs $283,000 $393,000 $588,000 $498,000 Net Charge-Offs (Annualized) as a percent of Average Loans Outstanding, Net of Unearned Interest .24% .36% .26% .23% Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased $578,000, or 17.8%, in the second quarter of 1996 versus the comparable quarter for 1995, and $781,000, or 11.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus the comparable period for 1995. The increase in noninterest income is attributable to a greater focus on revenue growth and several initiatives undertaken by management, including the implementation of recommendations resulting from a profit enhancement program conducted in 1995. On a prospective basis, fees for deposit services were increased effective July 1, 1996, which will further bolster growth in noninterest revenues. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $223,000, or 15.8%, and $419,000, or 15.3%, over the comparable three and six month periods for 1995. The increase primarily reflects a higher level of activity subject to service charge assessments and tighter controls over waived fees. Data processing revenues increased $65,000, or 8.3%, and $126,000, or 9.1%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 1995. The increase primarily reflects higher revenues associated with processing for third party banks. In the second quarter of 1996, income from fiduciary services increased $87,000, or 52.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 1995. A price increase, growth in assets under management and the collection of estate fees all contributed to the higher revenues during the second quarter. In January 1995, the Company changed its method of income recognition for Capital City Trust Company ("CCTC") from cash to accrual. This change resulted in a one-time adjustment which inflated CCTC revenues during the first quarter of 1995. Despite the significant increase in revenues during the second quarter, year-to-date revenues are only up $38,000, or 7.6%, as a result of the one-time adjustment recognized during 1995. Other income increased $199,000, or 22.2%, and $182,000, or 9.2%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 over the comparable prior year periods. Mortgage origination fees increased $68,000 or 43.6% due to higher volume and check printing income increased $46,000, or 34.8%, due to a renegotiation of the contract which went into effect in March 1996. Additionally, other fees and commissions were up $61,000, or 18.9%. Noninterest income as a percent of average earning assets was 2.1% for the first half of 1996 versus 2.0% for the comparable quarter in 1995. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased $399,000, or 4.7%, and $816,000, or 4.9%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 1995. Through the first six months, compensation expense increased $625,000, or 7.0%, reflecting annual raises and an increase in full-time equivalent employees of 15. Occupancy expense, including premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment increased $163,000, or 11.5%, and $239,000, or 8.4%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 1995. The increase is attributable to depreciation, repairs/maintenance and other related expenses which were up over the prior year by $57,000, $102,000 and $79,000, respectively. Other noninterest expense decreased $48,000, or .9%, during the first six months of 1996. The overall decrease reflects a $720,000 reduction in FDIC insurance premiums. Higher costs associated with legal and professional fees, ORE expenses/losses, fraud losses and courier service offset a significant portion of the favorable reduction in insurance premiums. Annualized net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus noninterest expense) as a percent of average assets was 2.61% in the first half of 1996 versus 2.74% for the first half of 1995. The decrease in this percentage is attributable to the growth in noninterest income. Income Taxes The provision for income taxes increased $355,000, or 42.8%, during the second quarter and $519,000, or 30.9%, during the first six months of 1996. The increase in the provision over the prior year is attributable to higher taxable income. The Company's effective tax rate for the first half of 1996 was 29.2% versus 27.9% for the comparable period in 1995. 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 half of 1996 as compared to the first half of 1995. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's average assets increased to $790.9 million in the first half of 1996 from $751.0 million in the first half of 1995. Average earning assets were $704.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus $669.8 million for the comparable period in 1995. Average loans were up $31.6 million, or 7.4%, over the comparable six month period in 1995. The increase in loans was funded primarily through an increase in average deposits which grew by $25.8 million or 4.0%. Average U.S. Government securities increased $7.3 million, or 5.8%, while average municipal securities increased $6.3 million, or 9.2%. Table I on page 13, presents average balances for the three and six month periods of 1996 and 1995. 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 June 30, 1996, shareholders' equity included a net unrealized loss of $833,000 compared to a gain of $968,000 at December 31, 1995. The reduction in value reflects the rise in interest rates which began late in the first quarter of 1996. Average loans increased $31.6 million reflecting growth primarily in the catagories of real estate mortgage and consumer loans. Based on the averages for the first half of 1996, loans as a percent of earning assets increased to 65.1% from 63.8% in 1995, which had a favorable impact on the Company's net interest margin. For the second quarter of 1996, this percentage increased further to 66.0%. At June 30, 1996, the Company's nonperforming loans were $1.2 million versus $4.7 million at year-end 1995. As a percent of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses represented 542.2% at June 30, 1996 versus 126.6% at year-end 1995. 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, 1996, versus $1.0 million at December 31, 1995. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans plus other real estate was .48% at June 30, 1996 compared to 1.28% at December 31, 1995. Average deposits increased to $673.5 million for the first half of 1996, from $647.7 million for the first half of 1995. The growth in deposits was primarily driven by deposit promotions which were initiated by the Company during the second and fourth quarters of 1995. As a result of these promotions, certificates of deposit represented $14.8 million, or 57.4%, of the $25.8 million growth in average total deposits. Certificates of deposit, as a percent of average total deposits, increased to 37.8% for the first half of 1996 from 36.9% for the comparable period in 1995. The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 24.4% for the first half of 1996 and 1995. For the same periods, the ratio of average interest bearing liabilities to average earning assets was 75.9% and 76.3%, respectively. 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 and investment maturities, including the "Available-for-Sale" investment portfolio, and the ability to purchase federal funds through established lines of credit with correspondent banks. Additionally, the parent company maintains a $25 million revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 1996, there was no debt outstanding under this credit facility. However, on July 1, the Company borrowed $15.0 million to fund the acquisition of First Financial Bancorp, Inc. (See Item V) The Company's equity capital was $83.4 million as of June 30, 1996, compared to $81.2 million as of December 31, 1995. The Company's 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 10.1% at June 30, 1996 versus 9.8% at December 31, 1995. Further, the Company's risk-adjusted capital ratio of 18.9% significantly exceeds the 8.0% minimum requirement under the risk- based regulatory guidelines. In 1996, the Board of Directors converted its dividend payment schedule from semi-annual to quarterly. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had declared and paid two quarterly dividends of $.27 each. State and federal regulations as well as the Company's long-term debt agreement place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by both the Company and its Group banks. At June 30, 1996, 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. During the first six months of 1996, shareholders' equity increased $2.3 million, or 5.5%, on an annualized basis. The net increase in shareholders' equity reflects net income of $5.3 million, dividends of $1.6 million and a shift in the Company's unrealized gain(loss) on available-for-sale securities from a gain of $968,000 at December 31, 1995 to a loss of $833,000 at June 30, 1996. The Company's common stock had a book value of $29.14 per share at June 30, 1996 compared to $28.44 at December 31, 1995. Pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program adopted in 1989, the Company has repurchased 251,563 shares of its common stock, net of shares subsequently reissued. In the first half of 1996, there were no shares repurchased and 8,580 shares were issued, a majority of which were shares issued in accordance with the Company's Associate Stock Purchase Plan.
