THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH SELECTED
HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE COMPANY, WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-K.
GENERAL
The Company is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), which commenced operations in
1987 by acquiring the capital stock of CNB National Bank (the "Bank"), which had
been formed in 1986. The Company is currently headquartered in Lake City,
Florida, but will relocate its headquarters to Jacksonville, Florida, during
2000 in connection with its expansion plans described below. The Bank is a
national banking association subject to the supervision of the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller"). It provides traditional deposit,
lending and mortgage products and services to its commercial and retail
customers through twelve full service branches located within the following
contiguous counties in Northeast Florida: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Columbia,
Duval, Suwannee and Union County. At December 31, 1999, the Company had total
assets of $346.1 million, total loans of $266.1 million, total deposits of
$288.2 million, and total shareholders' equity of $43.1 million, reflecting
compound annual growth rates of 15.5%, 25.3%, 13.6% and 27.2%, respectively, for
the five-year period ended December 31, 1999. Net income for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $2.9 million, $2.7 million and
$3.0 million, respectively. For the five-year period ended December 31, 1999,
the compound annual earnings growth rate was 17.3%.
EVOLUTION OF THE FLORIDA BANKING MARKET
Significant changes in interstate banking and branching laws, enacted during
the early 1980s, have allowed bank holding companies to aggressively expand into
new markets that have attractive growth rates and demographics. As a result,
substantial consolidation of the Florida banking market has occurred. Management
believes Florida has been particularly attractive to regional bank holding
companies because it is the fourth largest state in the country in terms of
total population and is among the ten fastest growing states in the country. As
more out-of-state bank holding companies enter the Florida market, the Company
believes that the number of depository institutions headquartered and operating
in Florida will continue to decline.
The Company has observed a similar consolidation trend in the markets in and
around Gainesville and Jacksonville (the "Expansion Markets"), where it is
expanding. Historically the Company competed successfully in its Core Markets,
which consists of Columbia, Suwannee, Baker, Bradford and Union Counties,
against larger bank holding companies for middle market customers. In the
Company's Expansion Markets, many of such customers have preferred the banking
services and products of banks that are locally headquartered. Increasingly,
however, large regional bank holding companies are entering the Company's
Expansion Markets by acquiring such previously locally headquartered banks. For
example, in January 1998, NationsBank Corporation (now BankAmerica Corporation)
("BankAmerica") completed its acquisition of Jacksonville-based Barnett
Banks, Inc. ("Barnett"), which, prior to its acquisition, was the largest bank
headquartered in Florida. The acquisition of Barnett closely followed the
acquisition of three of Jacksonville's five community banks by SouthTrust Bank
Corporation ("SouthTrust") and Compass
2
Bancshares, Inc. ("Compass") in 1996 and 1997. Similarly, Gainesville State
Bank, the largest community bank in Gainesville and the surrounding Alachua
County (the "Gainesville Market"), was acquired by Compass in 1997. As a result,
the Company now competes in its Core Markets, and will compete in its Expansion
Markets, primarily with SunTrust Banks, Inc., BankAmerica, First Union
Corporation, SouthTrust, AmSouth Bancorporation and Compass, all of which are
headquartered outside of Florida.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMPANY
Management believes that a significant segment of the historical customer
base of Barnett and those of other acquired community banks in Northeast
Florida, particularly individuals and small and medium-sized businesses, prefer
the personalized service that characterized their relationships with the locally
headquartered banks that were acquired. Many of these personal relationships
have been disrupted as the larger, regional financial institutions increasingly
focus on larger corporate customers, offer primarily standardized loan and
deposit products and services, and employ centralized management and more remote
decision-making. Thus, Company management believes there exists a unique
opportunity to address the under-served banking needs of individuals and small
and medium-sized businesses in its Expansion Markets, which are contiguous and
demographically similar to the Company's existing Core Markets. Accordingly, the
Company's current strategic focus is to immediately capitalize on this market
opportunity. In pursuing this opportunity, the Company will continue to focus on
that specific segment of the market to which it has historically appealed. The
Company believes that its historical strategy of providing personalized and
consistent service to its small and middle-market corporate customers and
individuals will allow it to continue to compete profitably, not only in the
markets that it presently serves but in other markets as well.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's primary goal is to enhance profitability and shareholder
returns through aggressive but sound growth. The Company's long-term strategy is
to (i) continue to grow its full service banking operations by expanding into
new markets, (ii) leverage current branch capacity, (iii) expand its mortgage,
consumer, and commercial lending activities and (iv) continue to differentiate
itself from its larger competitors by emphasizing personalized,
relationship-driven service provided by a locally-headquartered financial
institution.
EXPAND IN UNDER-SERVED MARKETS
The consolidation of the banking industry in Northeast Florida has created a
window of opportunity for the Company to expand its operations in the Expansion
Markets. The Expansion Markets are contiguous and culturally similar to the Core
Markets. Like the Core Markets, the Expansion Markets consist in large part of
individuals and small and medium-sized businesses. The Company believes that its
familiarity with meeting the banking needs and expectations of similar customers
in the Core Markets makes the Company particularly qualified to attract banking
customers accustomed to banking with community banks in the Expansion Markets.
The recent consolidation also has dislocated qualified banking professionals who
have strong ties to, and an understanding of, their local markets. The Company
believes that it has attracted and will continue to attract qualified banking
professionals, thereby benefiting from their experience and their ability in
many instances to bring with them the banking business of their loyal customers.
These factors, together with the Bank's asset size and its capital base,
position the Company to work more effectively with middle-market customers than
many smaller community banks in the Expansion Markets.
PROVIDE COMMUNITY BANKING SERVICE
The Company believes that it can achieve the goals outlined above through a
continued commitment to the "community bank philosophy", which emphasizes
offering a broad range of personalized products and services through banking
professionals who understand the banking industry and the banking needs of the
local communities they serve. Each branch manager and individual loan officer is
given a certain
3
degree of authority and discretion to approve loans and to price loans and
services in order to respond quickly and efficiently to the needs of the
Company's customers. In implementing this strategy, the Company will combine the
experience and customer networks of its loan officers with centralized
information technology to effectively price and provide customized banking
services to enhance overall profitability. The Company intends to pursue this
strategy throughout its Core and Expansion Markets and operate a multi-office
community bank that emphasizes decision-making at the local level.
To ensure that the Company's proposed expansion does not erode its standards
for service and quality, the Company created three operating divisions: the
Southern Division, the Eastern Division and the Central Division. The Company
created a fourth division, the First Coast Division, when it moved into the
Jacksonville Market in 1999. This new organizational structure will help to
ensure that the Company's banking products and services are tailored to the
individual markets it serves, as opposed to the "one size fits all" approach
that generally is followed by larger financial institutions. The divisions are
headed by Division Presidents who effectively have the authority to operate the
division as a community bank, so long as it is done within the parameters of the
Company's policies. In addition, the Company is creating advisory boards in each
division composed of business leaders from that community.
DEPOSIT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company offers various deposit products and services to its retail and
commercial customers. These products include commercial and retail checking
accounts, specialized low-cost checking for customers who write few checks per
month, money market accounts for consumers and commercial customers, NOW
accounts and savings accounts. Additionally, the Company offers an
interest-bearing transaction account for seniors with no minimum balance
requirements, no service charge and no per-check charge. For customer
convenience and ease of storage, the Company offers image-based monthly account
statements, as well as an automated telephone banking service for balance
reporting. The Company's deposit services include cash management for commercial
customers for overnight investment, wire transfer services, collections, money
orders, safe deposit boxes and traveler's checks. The Bank is currently a member
of the STAR (formerly HONOR), PLUS and CIRRUS networks of automated teller
machines that may be used by Bank customers in major cities throughout the
United States. All deposits are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount
permitted by law (generally $100,000 per depositor subject to aggregation
rules).
LOAN PRODUCTS AND LENDING POLICY
IN GENERAL
The Company provides to customers a full range of short- to medium-term
commercial, agricultural, Small Business Administration ("SBA") guaranteed,
Farmers Home Administration guaranteed, long term residential mortgages and
personal loans, both secured and unsecured. Credit is extended consistent with a
comprehensive loan policy that governs advance rates, maturities and acceptable
collateral. The Company's loan policy grants lending authority based on a tiered
schedule, with significant authority at the Division President level. Exceptions
to the policy must be recommended by the applicable Division President, the
Credit Administrator and approved by either the President or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank before the credit commitment can be made. If the loan is for
an amount exceeding $1.5 million, the Executive Committee of the Bank's Board of
Directors must approve any exceptions to the Bank's loan policy.
COMMERCIAL LOANS
Commercial loan products include (I) short-term loans and lines of credit
for working capital purposes, which are generally secured by the borrower's
current assets (usually accounts receivables and inventory), (ii) intermediate
term loans for farm and non-farm equipment and crop loans and (iii) SBA
guaranteed loans. They include secured and unsecured loans for working capital,
business expansion and purchases of equipment and machinery.
4
Lines of credit are subject to annual review and approval, generally not
later than 120 days after the closing of the customer's fiscal year end.
Advances are typically limited to 75.0% of eligible accounts receivable and up
to 50.0% on inventory. These credits are usually monitored through the review of
a receivables aging report and borrowing base report.
Term loans having maturities greater than one year are generally secured by
equipment or rolling stock with advances limited to no more than 75.0% of cost.
In virtually all cases, the Bank requires the personal guaranty of the owners or
major shareholders of the borrower.
Agricultural loans are granted to experienced farmers with demonstrated
capabilities, acceptable historical cash flows, reasonable cash flow projections
and adequate secondary sources of repayment.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS
The Company's commercial real estate lending products include: construction
loans, mini-permanent and permanent financing for commercial properties,
acquisition and development loans for residential and commercial property
developers and investment property financing.
Construction loan borrowers are generally required to inject equity equal to
at least 20% of the total cost of the construction project before the Company
will advance funds on the loan. The Company advances funds pursuant to a draw
schedule and makes inspections prior to each draw request. The Company's
construction lending requirements also may include a plan and cost review,
depending on the complexity of the project. The plan and cost review and the
inspections are out-sourced by the Company to qualified professionals.
Mini-permanent and permanent financing loans are owner occupied projects
which demonstrate proven cash flows that result in a debt service coverage ratio
of at least 1.25 to 1, based on a twenty year amortization. Mini-permanent loan
amortization may be as long as twenty-five years, but normally requires balloon
maturities within five to eight years.
The Company extends acquisition and development loans to borrowers who have
historically fulfilled their financial obligations. The relevant acquisition or
development project must demonstrate acceptable absorption periods and should
have an equity investment of at least 25% of the total project costs. Such loans
typically mature within twenty-four months.
Loans on investment property are subject to the same underwriting criteria
as mini-permanent loans and include a threshold debt service coverage ratio of
at least 1.25 to 1.
RESIDENTIAL AND CONSUMER LOANS
Consumer lending products include open- and closed-ended home equity and
home improvement loans, automobile, boat, and recreational vehicle loans and
loans for other asset purchases. The Company offers Visa and MasterCard credit
and debit card products to consumers and commercial customers. Applications for
these products are evaluated based on the same credit requirements as direct
loans.
Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the
creditworthiness of the borrower, the purpose of the credit, and the secondary
source of repayment. Specifically, the lender reviews a credit bureau report for
the borrower's credit history and calculates a debt-to-income ratio based on the
borrower's gross monthly income to fixed debt payments. A ratio higher than
40.0% is generally considered unacceptable. For automobile loans, the policy
requires a minimum down payment of 10.0% with maturities based on the age of the
vehicle.
The Company offers a variety of one-to four-family residential loan
products, including residential construction loans and residential acquisition
financing.
Residential construction financing typically includes a construction loan
agreement with a construction draw schedule and third party inspections. A
commitment for permanent financing is required prior to
5
closing. Typical residential construction loans mature within six to twelve
months. The Company offers a construction/permanent package loan product in
instances where the Company acts as the permanent lender.
Residential loans are originated for the Company's portfolio, as well as for
sale in the secondary market. The maximum loan amount is based on a loan to
value ratio of 80% or less, where the value is equal to the lesser of the cost
or the appraised value. A loan to value ratio of 95% is available when private
mortgage insurance can be obtained. The majority of these loans are originated
for sale in the secondary market and are sold on a servicing released basis. The
Company services loans originated for its portfolio.
LOAN REVIEW AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS
The Company's loan review officer, whose position is independent of the loan
production and administration process, has the responsibility to perform timely
reviews of credits within the portfolio with a review scope and assessment
criteria comparable to that of the Bank's regulators.
All new and renewed secured credits over $500,000 and unsecured credits over
$100,000 are reviewed within one week of approval. Additionally, a comprehensive
annual review is conducted on all credits over $250,000, past dues,
non-performing assets and other real estate owned. Smaller credits are reviewed
utilizing pre-determined standards, which include documentation and compliance,
by a person in loan operations, with exceptions referred to the loan review
officer. Problem credits, which include all non-performing assets, are reviewed
at least quarterly with written documentation which includes the reason for the
problem, collateral support, a plan for resolution of the problem and time
frames for the resolution. Delinquent loans are reviewed at least weekly and
monitored by the Board of Directors of the Bank in the monthly meetings.
A written report is developed on the findings of the various loan review
functions and reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, which meets quarterly. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed
monthly in order to make the appropriate loan loss provision based on the loan
review findings, delinquency, historical loan losses and current economic
trends.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Bank's asset/liability committee is comprised of selected senior
officers of the Bank who are charged with managing the assets and liabilities of
the Bank. The asset/liability committee manages asset growth, liquidity and
capital in order to maximize income and reduce interest rate risk. The
asset/liability committee directs the Bank's overall acquisition and allocation
of funds. At its quarterly meetings, the asset/liability committee reviews and
discusses peer group comparisons, the ratio of rate-sensitive assets to
rate-sensitive liabilities, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to
outstanding and nonperforming loans, and other variables, such as expected loan
demand, investment opportunities, core deposit growth within specified
categories, regulatory changes, monetary policy adjustments and the overall
state of the economy.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The Bank's investment portfolio policy is to maximize income consistent with
liquidity, asset quality, regulatory constraints and asset/liability objectives.
The policy is reviewed at least annually by the Bank's Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors is provided monthly information recapping purchases and sales
with the resulting gains or losses, average maturity, federal taxable equivalent
yields and appreciation or depreciation by investment categories.
The Bank invests primarily in direct obligations of the United States,
obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States and
obligations of agencies of the United States. In addition, the Bank enters into
federal funds transactions with its principal correspondent banks.
Other investments include Independent Bankers Bank stock, Federal Reserve
Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock that are required for the Bank to be
a member of, and to conduct business with,
6
such institutions. Dividends on such investments are determined by the
institutions and are payable semi-annually or quarterly.
COMPETITION
Within the Jacksonville, Gainesville and Core Markets in which CNB operates
(the "Markets"), there are competing financial institutions consisting primarily
of other commercial banks, savings and loan offices and credit unions. Certain
non-bank financial institutions affiliated with Florida banks or thrift
institutions offer limited financial services, including lending and deposit
gathering activities. The Bank also competes for deposits and loans with
brokerage firms, mobile home lenders, consumer finance companies, insurance
companies, mortgage banking companies, money market mutual funds and other
financial institutions.
In addition, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking and Branching Act") has removed substantially
all state barriers to the acquisition of banks by out-of-state bank holding
companies. In addition, certain out-of-state bank holding companies have entered
the Florida banking market by acquiring failing thrift institutions and
commercial banks. Florida banks and bank holding companies also may enter the
Markets by acquiring a financial institution, by establishing de novo branches
or by forming de novo banks within the market.
Competition for deposit and loan business in the Markets will continue to be
intense because of existing competitors, the accelerating pace of product
deregulation and the likelihood of expansion into the Markets by other
institutions. Many of these institutions have significantly greater financial
resources than the Company. To compete, the Bank relies on specialized services,
responsive handling of customer needs, customer contact by Bank officers,
directors and staff, and the appeal of a locally-owned, relationship-driven
institution.
HISTORICAL GROWTH
The Bank has operated in Lake City, Columbia County, Florida since its
organization in 1986. In January 1987 the Company was formed as a bank holding
company to facilitate expansion opportunities. In 1988, the Company organized
Citizens Bank of Live Oak ("Citizens") and in November 1992 acquired an Anchor
Savings Bank ("Anchor") office in Macclenny. In 1990, the Bank opened its first
de novo branch in Fort White. In 1993, the Bank acquired additional banking
offices in Lake City and Live Oak from Anchor. The Company consummated its first
merger with another bank holding company on April 1, 1994, when Bradford
Bankshares ("Bradford") combined with the Company resulting in a branch in
Starke. On August 31, 1996, Riherd Bank Holding Company ("Riherd") merged with
the Company. The Riherd merger resulted in three additional offices for the
Bank, one of which is located in Lake Butler and two of which are in
Gainesville. Both the Bradford and the Riherd transactions were accounted for as
purchase transactions. In August 1997, the Bank opened its eleventh office,
located in Lake City, and in June 1999 expanded into Jacksonville with its
twelfth office.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1999, the Bank had 183 full-time equivalent employees.
The Company's operations are conducted through the Bank and, consequently, the
Company does not have any separate employees.
7
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL
As a registered bank holding company, the Company is subject to the
supervision of, and regular inspection by, the Federal Reserve Board under the
BHC Act. The Bank is organized as a national banking association, which is
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Comptroller. The Bank
is also subject to regulation by the FDIC and other federal regulatory agencies.
In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to various other laws and
regulations and supervision and examination by other regulatory agencies, all of
which directly or indirectly affect the operations and management of the Company
and the Bank and their ability to make distributions. The following discussion
summarizes certain aspects of those laws and regulations that affect the
Company.
The activities of the Company and the Bank are limited to banking, managing
or controlling banks, or any other activity which the Federal Reserve Board
determines to be so closely related to banking, managing or controlling banks as
to be a proper incident thereto. In making such determinations, the Federal
Reserve Board is required to consider whether the performance of such activities
by the Company or the Bank can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency
that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices. Generally, the Company would be required to obtain prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board to engage in any new activity or to
acquire more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any company or any bank
which is not already majority-owned by the Company.
Pursuant to the Interstate Banking and Branching Act, bank holding companies
are able to acquire banks in states other than their respective home states,
without regard to the permissibility of such acquisitions under state laws. The
transaction would still be subject to any state requirement that the Bank has
been organized and operating for a minimum period of time, not to exceed five
years, and the requirement that the respective bank holding company, prior to or
following the proposed acquisition, controls no more than ten percent (10%) of
the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United
States and less than thirty percent (30%) of such deposits in that state (or
such lesser or greater amount set by state law).
The Interstate Banking and Branching Act also authorizes banks to merge
across state lines, thereby creating interstate branches. This provision, which
was effective June 1, 1997, allowed each state, prior to the effective date, the
opportunity to "opt out" of this provision, thereby prohibiting interstate
branching within that state. Florida did not "opt out" of the interstate
branching provisions of the Interstate Banking and Branching Act. Furthermore,
pursuant to the Interstate Banking and Branching Act, a bank is now able to open
new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations if
such state enacts a law permitting de novo branching.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry
are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and before the
various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any such
proposals or bills being enacted and the impact they might have on the Company
and the Bank cannot be determined at this time.
CAPITAL AND OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller and the FDIC have issued
substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to
United States banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may
from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the
minimum levels, whether because of its financial condition or actual or
anticipated growth. The Federal Reserve Board risk-based guidelines define a
two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying
preferred shareholders' equity, less certain intangibles and other adjustments.
Tier 2 capital consists of subordinated and other qualifying debt, and the
allowance for credit losses up to
8
1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries represents qualifying total capital,
at least 50% of which must consist of Tier 1 capital. Risk-based capital ratios
are calculated by dividing Tier 1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets.
Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one of four categories of
risk weights, based primarily on relative credit risk. The minimum Tier 1
capital ratio is 4% and the minimum total capital ratio is 8%. The Company's
Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios under these guidelines at
December 31, 1999, were 16.2% and 17.3%, respectively.
The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted
average total assets. Although the stated minimum ratio is 3%, most banking
organizations are required to maintain ratios of at least 100 to 200 basis
points above 3%. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31, 1999 was 12.7%.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"),
among other things, identifies five capital categories for insured depository
institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized), and requires
the respective federal regulatory agencies to implement systems for "prompt
corrective action" for insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum
capital requirements within such categories. FDICIA imposes progressively more
restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital distributions,
depending on the category in which an institution is classified. Failure to meet
the capital guidelines could also subject a banking institution to capital
raising requirements. An "undercapitalized" bank must develop a capital
restoration plan and its parent holding company must guarantee that bank's
compliance with the plan. The liability of the parent holding company under any
such guarantee is limited to the lesser of 5% of the bank's assets at the time
it became "undercapitalized" or the amount needed to comply with the plan.
Furthermore, in the event of the bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such
guarantee would take priority over the parent's general unsecured creditors. In
addition, FDICIA requires the various regulatory agencies to prescribe certain
non-capital standards for safety and soundness related generally to operations
and management, asset quality and executive compensation and permits regulatory
action against a financial institution that does not meet such standards.
The various regulatory agencies have adopted substantially similar
regulations that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA, using
the total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital
ratios as the relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various
degrees of corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered
undercapitalized. Under the regulations, a "well capitalized" institution must
have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of at least
10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a capital
directive order. An "adequately capitalized" institution must have a Tier 1
capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least 8% and a
leverage ratio of at least 4%, or 3% in some cases. Under these guidelines, the
Bank is considered well capitalized.
Banking agencies have also adopted regulations which mandate that regulators
take into consideration concentrations of credit risk and risks from
non-traditional activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage those
risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution's capital. That
evaluation will be made as a part of the institution's regular safety and
soundness examination. Banking agencies also have adopted final regulations
requiring regulators to consider interest rate risk (when the interest rate
sensitivity of an institution's assets does not match the sensitivity of its
liabilities or its off-balance sheet position) in the determination of a bank's
capital adequacy. Concurrently, banking agencies have proposed a methodology for
evaluating interest rate risk. After gaining experience with the proposed
measurement process, those banking agencies intend to propose further
regulations to establish an explicit risk-based capital charge for interest rate
risk.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company's primary source of funds for cash distributions to its
shareholders is dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various
general regulatory policies and requirements relating to the
9
payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital above
regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal regulatory authority is authorized
to determine under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of
the bank or bank holding company that the payment of dividends would be an
unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof.
In addition to the foregoing, the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay
dividends may be affected by the various minimum capital requirements and the
capital and non-capital standards established under FDICIA, as described above.
The right of the Company, its shareholders and its creditors to participate in
any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Bank is further subject to the
prior claims of creditors of the Bank.
"SOURCE OF STRENGTH" POLICY
According to Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as
a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support
the Bank.

PART II
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Company's articles of incorporation authorize it to issue up to
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of March 17, 2000, there were 6,115,270
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 285,548 shares subject to
currently exercisable options. On January 29, 1999, the Company's common stock
began trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "CNBB", resulting
from the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the Company's initial
public offering at $10.25 per common share. Proceeds from the offering net of
underwriting discount and expenses totaled $11.4 million. The Company
contributed $10.0 million of the $11.4 million net proceeds from the offering to
CNB National Bank in February 1999. There is no trading information for any
prior years, since there was not an established market for the Company's common
stock. See TABLE 12: "Selected Quarterly Data" in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition for the quarterly market price for the last
fiscal year.
Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1999 was $43.1 million, as compared to
$30.9 million at December 31, 1998. On July 15, 1998, the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split for shareholders of record on August 10, 1998, effective
August 17, 1998.
Company dividends for 1999 consisted of the payment of quarterly cash
dividends in the amount of $0.05 per common share on February 5, May 5,
August 5 and November 5, 1999. The Company also paid $0.20 total dividends in
1998.
The Company's ability to pay dividends on the Common Stock depends
significantly on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company in
amounts sufficient to service its obligations. Such obligations may include an
obligation to make any payments with respect to securities issued in the future
which have an equal or greater dividend preference to the Common Stock. The Bank
may also issue additional capital stock or incur indebtedness. Furthermore, the
regulations of the Comptroller, regulatory capital levels and the net income of
the Bank determine its ability to pay dividends or make other capital
distributions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following analysis reviews important factors affecting the financial
condition and results of operations of CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. for the
periods shown. This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes. This discussion should facilitate a
better understanding of the major factors and trends which affect the Company's
financial condition and earnings performance, and how the Company's performance
during 1999 compares with prior years. Throughout this section, CNB Florida
Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, CNB National Bank are referred to as "CNB",
"the Company", or "the Bank."
On January 29, 1999, CNB completed its initial public offering and its
common stock began trading on the NASDAQ National Market. CNB shareholders now
have greater access to purchasing or selling shares of common stock and in
addition CNB obtained additional capital to support its expansion plans, as well
as for general corporate purposes. The Company contributed as capital to CNB
National Bank $10.0 million of the $11.4 million net proceeds from the offering
in February 1999.
In March 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of a site in
Jacksonville which will be utilized for its corporate offices and as
headquarters for the Bank's commercial banking activities in Jacksonville.
Construction should be completed on the 26,000 square foot building in the
summer of 2000. Construction also began in 1999 on CNB's new Gainesville
headquarters located on Tower Road, with completion scheduled for the second
quarter of 2000.
As approved by shareholders at the Company's 1999 annual meeting, CNB, Inc.
became CNB Florida Bancshares, Inc. on June 30, 1999. The new name better
reflects the nature of the Company's business and its geographic focus.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In 1999, the Company's earnings were $2.9 million, or $0.49 per basic share,
compared to $2.7 million, or $0.55 per basic share, and $3.0 million, or $0.69
per basic share, in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Per share earnings for 1999
were adversely impacted by the Company's initial public offering completed in
the first quarter of 1999. The Company sold 1,250,000 shares raising
$11.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and expenses, to support its
expansion plans and for general corporate purposes. Weighted average shares
increased 23% in 1999 compared to 1998. Per share earnings for 1998 were also
adversely affected by the stock sale from the Rights Offering in July 1997,
which resulted in a 12% increase in the weighted shares outstanding from 1997 to
1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME/MARGINS
Net interest income is the single largest source of revenue of the Company
and is equal to interest and fee income generated by earning assets less
interest expense.
In 1999, net interest income increased $3.0 million, or 26%. This follows an
increase of $945,000 or 9%, in 1998, and $2.3 million, or 27% in 1997. The
increase in 1999 is mainly attributable to loan portfolio growth and related
increase in interest income from loans of $3.5 million. Also contributing to the
increase was a 4% decrease in interest expense resulting from an improved
interest rate mix, and an 18% increase in non-interest bearing deposits, while
total deposits grew 9%. The increase in net interest income for 1998 is
primarily the result of loan interest and fee income growth of $1.3 million,
investment income growth of $364,000, offset by an increase in interest expense
of $754,000.
The Company's net interest margin increased to 5.00% in 1999, compared to
4.43% and 4.52% in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The higher yield in 1999
reflects a more favorable earning asset mix as the
16
loan portfolio, which is the largest and highest yielding component of earning
assets, increased 42% from $187.0 million in 1998 to $266.1 million in 1999.
Table 1: "Average Balances--Yields and Rates", below, presents comparative
earning asset composition as well as earning asset yields and interest bearing
liabilities for 1999, 1998 and 1997. Table 1a: "Analysis of Changes in Interest
Income and Expense" shows the changes in net interest income by category due to
shifts in volumes and rates for years presented.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income increased $560,000 or 23% in 1999, compared with
$239,000 or 11% in 1998 compared with 1997. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $311,000 or 17% in 1999, compared to an increase of 4% in 1998. The
main contributing factor for the increase in 1999 was an increase in service
charge fees that went into effect March 1, 1999. Other fee income, which
includes credit card fees, credit life insurance income, safe deposit box fees,
net gains and losses from sale of securities and other miscellaneous fees had an
increase of $249,000 or 43% in 1999 and $162,000 or 39% in 1998. The main
contributing factors for the increase in 1999 were fees associated with ATM
surcharges coupled with mortgage servicing fees collected from the mortgage
loans sold to secondary markets. Non-interest income as a percentage of average
assets was 0.92% in 1999 compared to 0.83% and 0.83% in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 29%, for the year ended
1999, as compared to increases of $1.4 million, or 18%, and $1.6 million, or
24%, for 1998 and 1997, respectively. At the end of 1999, non-interest expenses
as a percentage of average assets increased to 3.73%, as compared to 3.23% and
3.04% in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits have
increased $1.6 million from 1998, compared to $859,000 from 1997. The increase
from 1998 to 1999 reflects the continued execution of
18
management's strategy to expand CNB into the Jacksonville and Gainesville
markets and the building of an infrastructure to support the expansion strategy.
In June 1999, the Bank opened and staffed a temporary branch office in
Jacksonville on Beach Boulevard. The increase in non-interest expense from 1997
to 1998 was due mainly to the implementation of the Company's business plan and
also involved hiring a Bank President, three Division Presidents, a Chief
Financial Officer and several other key positions. As a percentage of average
total assets, salaries and employee benefits have increased to 2.01% in 1999
compared 1.67% and 1.52% in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Occupancy expenses (including furniture, fixtures & equipment) increased to
$1.8 million in 1999 compared to $1.6 million in 1998 and $1.4 million in 1997.
Occupancy expenses in 1999 were impacted by costs associated with the opening of
the temporary branch office on Beach Boulevard and the lease expense of
temporary offices for holding company personnel in Jacksonville. Offsetting
these expenses in 1999 was a reduction in maintenance contract expenses. The
increase from 1997 to 1998 was largely due to expenses associated with the West
90 Office opening in Lake City during August 1997.
Other operating expenses increased $836,000 and $320,000 in 1999 and 1998,
or 29% and 12%, respectively. The increase in 1999 was attributable to: (1) an
increase in postage and delivery expense of approximately $91,000 due to
increased deposit accounts and additional courier runs due to the opening of the
temporary Jacksonville branch office; (2) an increase of $152,000 in telephone
expense, with much of the increase resulting from the installation of a
bank-wide systems network and the added expenses from the offices opened in
Jacksonville; (3) an increase in marketing expense of $115,000 due to the
Company's increased advertising in the new markets and enhanced promotion of the
Bank in its present markets; (4) an increase in legal and professional fees of
$102,000, which is mainly attributable to increased accounting and data
processing fees. The main contributing factors in 1998 was an increase in
telephone expense, which resulted from the installation of a new toll free
telephone banking system in April 1997 allowing customers access to their
accounts 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other contributing factors were
increases in employee education expense, legal and professional fees, and
postage and delivery service.
The following table details the areas of significance in other operating
expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 was 34.7%,
compared to 34.4% for 1998 and 34.7% for 1997. The consolidated provision for
income taxes increased to $1.6 million in 1999, compared to $1.4 million in 1998
and $1.6 million in 1997. Tax exempt investment income had a positive impact on
the effective rate of 2.7%, 2.9% and 2.3% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity management addresses CNB's ability to meet deposit withdrawals
either on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings and to make new
loans and investments as they arise. Management measures the Company's liquidity
position by giving consideration to both on- and off-balance sheet sources of
and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis. In addition to core deposit
growth, sources of funds available to meet liquidity demands include cash
received through ordinary business activities such as the collection of interest
and fees, federal funds sold, loan and investment maturities and lines of credit
for the purchase of federal funds by the Company's from its principal
correspondent banks. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and securities
available-for-sale) totaled $81.1 million and represented 30.0% of average total
deposits during 1999, compared to $96.9 million and 39.1% for 1998.
The Company has available lines of credit with other financial institutions
totaling $15.0 million. The Company is also a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank and as such has access to both long and short term funds. There was an
outstanding balance of $4.8 million in federal funds purchased at December 31,
1999.
The asset mix of the balance sheet is evaluated continually in terms of
several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and
liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on
expanding the various funding sources.
The Company's gap and liquidity positions are reviewed on a regular basis by
management to determine whether or not changes in policies and procedures are
necessary to achieve financial goals. Included in the review is an internal
analysis of the possible impact on net interest income due to market changes and
interest rates.
TABLE 3, "Rate Sensitivity Analysis" presents rate sensitive assets and
liabilities by maturity, separating fixed and variable interest rates. The
estimated fair value of each instrument category is also shown in the table.
While these fair values are based on management's judgment of the most
appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have
disposed of such instruments on December 31, 1999, the estimated fair values
would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may
differ depending on various circumstances.
Sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, net of federal
requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities; investment
securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from dealers and customers
pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; loan repayments; loan
sales; deposits and certain interest rate-sensitive deposits; and borrowings
under overnight federal fund lines available from correspondent banks. In
addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the Company's primary demand for
liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers.

LENDING ACTIVITIES
Loan growth of 42% in 1999 reflected continued growth in the Company's core
markets combined with the Company's execution of its expansion strategy in the
Jacksonville and Gainesville markets. An increased focus on commercial and
commercial real estate lending contributed significantly to the overall growth
in loans. The Company's loan to deposit ratio reached 92% at December 31, 1999
compared to 71% at the 1998 year end. The 1999 loan growth contributed to a 26%
increase in net interest income to $14.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 compared to $11.7 million in 1998.
As of December 31, 1999 the Company had total loans of $266.1 million, as
compared to $187.0 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $79.1 million or
42%. This growth was mainly due to $51.7 million, or 61% increase in commercial,
financial and agricultural loans. Real estate construction loans totaled
$18.9 million, or 7% of the loan portfolio, as compared to 4% in 1998.
Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, which include loans secured by
owner-occupied commercial real estate, totaled $136.9 million, or 52% of the
loan portfolio as compared to 46% in 1998. Real estate mortgage loans primarily
consisted of single family residential mortgages totaled $86.3 million, or 32%
of the loan portfolio in comparison to 39% in 1998. Installment and consumer
loans, which include credit card balances of approximately $1.5 million, totaled
$23.9 million, or 9% of the loan portfolio as compared to 11% in 1998. The
composition of the Company's loan portfolio for the past five years is presented
in TABLE 5.
Loan concentrations are considered to exist where there are amounts loaned
to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities which collectively would be
similarly impacted by economic or other conditions and when the total of such
amounts exceed 25% of total capital. Due to the lack of diversified industry and
the relative proximity of markets served, the Company has concentrations in
geographic as well as in types of loans funded.

LOAN QUALITY
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days
or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned and repossessions.
Non-performing assets declined from $2.0 million at December 31, 1998 to
$831,000 at December 31, 1999. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total
assets decreased to 0.24% in 1999 from 0.65% in 1998. The improvement (or
decrease) in non-performing assets is attributed to the liquidation of several
other real estate owned ("OREO") properties, as well as liquidating several
loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
Management is continually analyzing its loan portfolio in an effort to
recognize and resolve its problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible.
TABLE 7 sets forth certain categories of risk elements on non-performing assets
for the past five years.

The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in
the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated
periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular
emphasis on past due and other loans that management believes require attention.
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. Loans are charged
against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is
unlikely. Management considers the allowance appropriate and adequate to cover
potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio; however, management's judgment
is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to
be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be valid. Thus, there can be no
assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for
loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will
not be required.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Company uses its securities portfolio primarily as a source of liquidity
and a base from which to pledge assets for repurchase agreements and public
deposits. The total recorded value of securities was $45.7 million at
December 31, 1999, a decrease of 27% from $62.3 million at the end of 1998.
Securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale which
are recorded at fair market value. Securities available-for-sale, which made up
77% of the total investment portfolio as of December 31, 1999 had a value of
$35.1 million. With most of the portfolio being in the available-for-sale
category, the Company has the flexibility in case an immediate need for
liquidity arises. The unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, do not impact net
income or regulatory capital but are recorded as adjustments to shareholders'
equity. At December 31, 1999, shareholders' equity included a net unrealized
loss of $537,000 compared to net unrealized gain of $418,000 at December 31,
1998.
As a percent of total earning assets, the investment portfolio has deceased
to a level of 15% at December 31, 1999 compared to 22% for year ended 1998. The
significant decrease in the size of the portfolio relative to total earning
assets is attributable to the increase in loan growth which improved the mix of
earning assets.
The Company invests primarily in direct obligations of the United States,
obligations guaranteed as to the principal and interest by the United States and
obligations of agencies of the United States. In addition, the Company enters
into federal funds transactions with its principal correspondent banks. The
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank also require equity investments
to be maintained by the Company.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity at December 31, 1999 was $43.1 million, as compared to
$30.9 million at December 31, 1998. In 1999, the Board of Directors declared
dividends totaling $0.20 per share, consistent with 1998. At December 31, 1999,
the Company's common stock had a book value of $7.04 per share compared to $6.36
per share in 1998.
On January 29, 1999 the Company began trading on the NASDAQ National Market
under the symbol "CNBB" after issuing 1,250,000 shares of common stock in the
initial public offering at $10.25 per common share. Proceeds from the offering
net of underwriting discount and expenses totaled $11.4 million, which are being
used to support expansion plans and for general corporate purposes.
The Comptroller establishes risk based capital guidelines for national
banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a
bank's capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset
categories. Banks are also required to systematically hold capital against such
"off balance sheet" activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments,
guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to
strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity
and restricting the amount of loss reserves and other forms of equity such as
preferred stock that may be included in capital.
Under the terms of the guidelines, banks must meet minimum capital adequacy
based upon both total assets and risk adjusted assets. All banks are required to
maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and a
minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%. Tier 1 Capital
includes common shareholders' equity and qualifying preferred stock, less
goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 Capital consists of preferred stock not
qualifying as Tier 1 Capital, mandatory convertible debt, limited amounts of
subordinated debt, other qualifying term debt and the allowance for credit
losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Total Capital consists of Tier 1
Capital and Tier 2 Capital. The regulatory agencies have also established an
additional capital adequacy guideline referred to as the Tier 1 leverage ratio
that measures the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's Tier 1 capital, total risk-based capital
and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 16.2%, 17.3% and 12.7%, respectively. Adherence
to these guidelines has not had an adverse impact on the Company or its banking
subsidiary. Selected capital ratios at year end 1999 as compared to 1998 are
shown in TABLE 11.
