9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HENDERSON CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. FOR THE SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial and statistical information appearing elsewhere in this report. Recent Developments ------------------- On February 6, 2001, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to acquire Rusk County Bancshares, Inc., Henderson, Texas ("RCBI"), and its wholly owned indirect banking subsidiary, Peoples State Bank. Peoples State Bank operates three banking offices in East Texas, one each in Henderson, Longview and Tatum. On July 2, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of RCBI common stock (including shares acquired upon exercise of stock options) for a purchase price of $12,550,000 in cash, representing 1.57 times RCBI's book value at December 31, 2000, and 20.95 times 2000 earnings. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and will result in an approximate increase in total assets of $56,400,000 and total deposits of $50,900,000. Following completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that Peoples State Bank will be merged into Citizens National Bank during the fourth quarter of 2001. On July 10, 2001, Citizens National Bank entered into a Branch Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Jefferson Heritage Bank to purchase the Spring Hill and White Oak facilities at Longview and White Oak, Texas. Results of Operations --------------------- Net income for the first six months of 2001 increased to $2,028,000 compared to $1,886,000 for the same period in 2000. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $6,174,000 compared to $5,842,000 for the same period in 2000. The Company made a provision of $230,000 to the allowance for loan losses during the first six months of 2001. A provision of $190,000 was made for loan losses during the same period in 2000. The Company experienced a net gain on securities transactions of $13,000 in the first six months of 2001 compared to no net gain or loss on securities transactions in the first six months of 2000. Noninterest income, excluding net gains on securities transactions, for the first six months of 2001 was $3,274,000 compared to $2,993,000 for the same period in 2000. Total noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2001 were $6,833,000 compared to $6,449,000 for the same period in 2000. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 was $370,000 and $310,000, respectively. Net Interest Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net ------------------- interest income was $6,174,000 compared to $5,842,000 for the first six months of 2000. Interest income was up $1,570,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to an increase in loan volumes and a slight increase attributable to rates. Interest expense increased $1,238,000 due to the higher volume of time deposits combined with average rates paid that were approximately 26 basis points higher in the first six months of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 was $3,119,000 compared to $2,891,000 in 2000. Interest income was up $705,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, due largely to an increase in the volume of loans and interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions. Interest expense increased $477,000 due to the higher volume of time deposits in the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $230,000 ------------------------- for the first six months of 2001 compared to $190,000 for the first six months of 2000. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Company--Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed discussion relative to the provision for loan losses. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company increased its allowance through a provision of $120,000. The Company increased its allowance for loan losses during the same period in 2000 by a provision of $90,000. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income, excluding securities gains/ ------------------ losses, was $3,274,000 for the first six months of 2001 as compared to $2,993,000 in the first six months of 2000. This increase is the result of increases in service charges primarily due to an increase in fees collected for insufficient funds and increases in trust fee income. The Company experienced a net gain on securities transactions of $13,000 for the first six months of 2001 compared to no net gain or loss on securities transactions for the first six months of 2000. 10 For the three months ended June 30, 2001, noninterest income, excluding securities gains was $1,711,000 compared to $1,730,000 for the same period in 2000. The Company experienced a net gain on securities of $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to no net gain/loss on securities during the same period in 2000. Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses for the six-month period -------------------- ended June 30, 2001 were $6,833,000 compared to $6,449,000 during the same period in 2000. The increase in other expenses is due to the increase in salary and related benefits expense resulting from normal year-end salary increases in the current year combined with the continued growth of the Marshall branch that opened in December of 1999, the acquisition of the Preston Insurance Agency in April of 2000 and the opening of the Athens branch in December of 2000. Occupancy expenses continue to increase with the addition of new facilities and the remodeling of existing properties. Noninterest expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 were $3,445,000 compared to $3,377,000 during the same period in 2000. The increase is a result of the same activities noted in the previous paragraph for the first six months of 2001. Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2001 was ------------ $370,000, compared to $310,000 in the same period in 2000. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2001 and 2000 were 15.4% and 14.1%. The effective rates are less than the statutory rate of 34% primarily because of tax-free income provided from state and municipal bonds, leases and obligations. Income taxes for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 were $210,000 and $163,000 respectively. The effective tax rates for the three- month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 were 16.5% and 14.1%. Financial Condition ------------------- The Company's total assets at June 30, 2001 of $455,113,000 increased from the total assets at December 31, 2000 of $423,644,000. The Company's loan portfolio grew to $175,362,000 at June 30, 2001, up from $169,882,000 at December 31, 2000. Total deposits were $409,374,000 at June 30, 2001, compared to the December 31, 2000 total of $379,122,000. Deposits and Other Borrowings ----------------------------- Total deposits at June 30, 2001 increased from the December 31, 2000 balances by $30,252,000. The Athens branch, which opened in December 2000, accounted for approximately $7,250,000 of this increase. There were also increases to money market accounts and time deposits as customers took advantage of the tiered money market account that is indexed to the three-month Treasury bill. During July 2000, the Company changed from the Treasury Tax and Loan Daily Remittance Option to the Treasury Tax and Loan Note Option, which allows the Company to keep on deposit customer tax payments for short periods of time until withdrawn by the Treasury. At June 30, 2001, amounts payable under this note totaled $48,000. Liquidity --------- Liquidity is the ability of the company to fund customers' needs for borrowing and deposit withdrawals. The purpose of liquidity management is to assure sufficient cash flow to meet all of the financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for business expansion. This ability depends on the institution's financial strength, asset quality and types of deposit and investment instruments offered by the Company to its customers. The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and securities repayments, maturities of securities, sales of securities available for sale and other funds provided by operations. The Company also has various federal funds sources from correspondent banks. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Company maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (1) need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program. Cash and cash equivalents increased $25,550,000 from $25,993,000 at December 31, 2000 to $51,543,000 at June 30, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents represented 11.3% of total assets at June 30, 2001 compared to 6.1% of total assets at December 31, 2000. This increase was due mainly to an increase in deposits of $30,252,000. The Company has the ability to borrow federal funds from various correspondent banks should the Company need to supplement its future liquidity needs in order to meet deposit flows, loan demand or to fund investment opportunities. Management believes the Company's liquidity position is strong based on its level of cash and cash equivalents, core deposits, the stability of its other funding sources and the support provided by its capital base. As summarized in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the most significant transactions that affected the Company's level of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows and liquidity during the first six months of 2001 were the net increase in deposits of $30,252,000, securities purchases of $42,613,000 and securities maturities and repayments of $38,194,000. 11 Capital Resources ----------------- At June 30, 2001, stockholders' equity totaled $41,803,000, or 9.2% of total assets, compared to $39,122,000, or 9.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2000. The Company and its Bank subsidiary, Citizens National Bank, are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Bank regulators monitor capital adequacy very closely and consider it an important factor in ensuring the safety of depositors' accounts. As a result, bank regulators have established standard risk based capital ratios that measure the amount of an institution's capital in relation to the degree of risk contained in the balance sheet, as well as off-balance sheet exposure. Federal law requires each federal banking regulatory agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured depository institutions including, but not limited to, those that fall below one or more prescribed capital ratios. According to the regulations, institutions whose Tier 1 and total capital ratios meet or exceed 6.0% and 10.0% of risk-weighted assets, respectively, are considered "well capitalized." Tier 1 capital is shareholders' equity excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities classified as available for sale and intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, or total capital, includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses not to exceed 1.25% of risk weighted assets. Risk weighted assets are the Company's total assets after such assets are assessed for risk and assigned a weighting factor based on their inherent risk. In addition to the risk-weighted ratios, all institutions are required to maintain Tier 1 leverage ratios of at least 5.0% to be considered "well capitalized" and 4.0% to be considered "adequately capitalized." The leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average assets for the most recent quarter. The tables below set forth the Consolidated and Citizens National Bank only capital ratios as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, Citizens National Bank met the level of capital required to be categorized as well capitalized under prompt corrective action regulations. Management is not aware of any conditions subsequent to June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 that would change the Company's or the Citizens National Bank's capital categories. Loans ----- The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. Gross loans were $177,766,000 at June 30, 2001 compared to $172,300,000 at December 31, 2000. As can be seen in the table in Note 3 above, a slight decrease of approximately 4.0% in commercial and industrial loans, an increase of approximately 6.4% in real estate loans, and an increase of 5.7% in installment loans occurred during the first six months of 2001. The opening of the Athens branch in December 2000 has contributed to an increase in total loans of approximately $3,189,000. Allowance for Loan Losses ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 was 1.34% and 1.37% of outstanding loans, respectively. By its nature, the process through which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance requires considerable judgment. The determination of the necessary allowance, and correspondingly the provision for loan losses, involves assumptions about projections of national and local economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, and prior loss experience, in addition to other considerations. As a result, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from the current estimates. However, the allowance at June 30, 2001 represents management's best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. A migration analysis and an internal classification system for loans also help identify potential problems, if any, which are not identified otherwise. From these analyses, management determines which loans are potential candidates for nonaccrual status, including impaired loan status, or charge-off. Management continually reviews loans and classifies them consistent with the guidelines established by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency to help ensure that an adequate allowance is maintained. 12 The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which is considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is based on management's review of the loan portfolio, and the consideration of such factors as historical loss experience, general prevailing economic conditions, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and specific borrower considerations, including the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $120,000 and $230,000 compared to $90,000 and $190,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. Management anticipates it will continue its provisions to the allowance for loan losses at current levels for the near future, providing the volume of nonperforming loans remains insignificant, to compensate for loan growth, particularly higher risk commercial and installment loans. Non Accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans -------------------------------------------- The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans whenever it is determined that reasonable doubt exists with respect to timely collectibility of interest and principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status if either material deterioration occurs in the financial position of the borrower, payment in full of interest or principal is not anticipated, payment in full of interest or principal is past due 90 days or more unless well secured, payment in full of interest or principal on a loan is past due 180 days or more, regardless of collateral, or the loan in whole or in part is classified as doubtful. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest is no longer accrued or included in interest income and previously accrued income is reversed. The following is a summary of the Company's problem loans as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- The Company grants real estate, commercial, and industrial loans to customers primarily in Henderson, Texas, and surrounding areas of east Texas. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion (approximately 52.7% at June 30, 2001) of its loans are secured by real estate and its ability to fully collect its loans is dependent upon the real estate market in this region. The Company typically requires collateral sufficient in value to cover the principal amount of the loan. Such collateral is evidenced by mortgages on property held and readily accessible to the Company. See additional information related to the composition of the Company's loan portfolio included in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. 13 Securities ---------- The Investment Committee, under the guidance of the Company's Investment Policy, assesses the short and long-term needs of the Company after consideration of loan demand, interest rate factors, and prevailing market conditions. Recommendations for purchases and other transactions are then made considering safety, liquidity, and maximization of return to the Company. Management determines the proper classification of securities at the time of purchase. Securities that management does not intend to hold to maturity or that might be sold under certain circumstances are classified as available for sale. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities until maturity, the securities will be classified as held to maturity. The management strategy for securities is to maintain a very high quality portfolio with generally short duration. The quality of the portfolio is maintained with 79% of the total as of June 30, 2001 comprised of U.S. Treasury, federal agency securities, and agency issued mortgage securities. The collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and mortgage backed securities (MBS) held by the company are backed by agency collateral which consists of loans issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal National Mortgage Corporation (FNMA), and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) with a blend of fixed and floating rate coupons. Credit risk is minimized through agency backing, however, there are other risks associated with MBS and CMOs. These other risks include prepayment, extension, and interest rate risk. MBS are securities that represent an undivided interest in a pool of mortgage loans. CMOs are structured obligations that are derived from a pool of mortgage loans or agency mortgage backed securities. CMOs in general have widely varying degrees of risk, which results from the prepayment risk on the underlying mortgage loans and its effect on the cash flows of the security. Prepayment risk is the risk of borrowers paying off their loans sooner than expected in a falling rate environment by either refinancing or curtailment. Extension risk is the risk that the underlying pool of loans will not exhibit the expected prepayment speeds thus resulting in a longer average life and slower cash flows than anticipated at purchase. Interest rate risk is based on the sensitivity of yields on assets that change in a different time period or in a different proportion from that of current market interest rates. Changes in average life due to prepayments and changes in interest rates in general will cause the market value of MBS and CMOs to fluctuate. The Company's MBS portfolio consists of fixed rate balloon maturity pools with short stated final maturities and adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) pools with coupons that reset annually and have longer maturities. Investments in CMOs consist mainly of Planned Amortization Classes (PAC), Targeted Amortization Classes (TAC), and sequential classes. As of June 30, 2001, floating rate securities made up 75% of the CMO portfolio. Support and liquidity classes with longer average lives and floating rate coupons comprise a relatively small portion of the portfolio. To maximize after-tax income, investments in tax-exempt municipal securities are utilized but with somewhat longer maturities. Securities are the Company's single largest interest-earning asset representing approximately 46% of total assets at June 30, 2001. The investment portfolio totaled $207,300,000 at June 30, 2001, up slightly from $206,938,000 at December 31, 2000. This increase resulted due to excess cash and fed funds being invested in available for sale securities for increased yields Recent Accounting Pronouncements --------------------------------- The following pronouncements have been issued, and are listed together with the expected impact on the Company. SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Statement was effective for the Company in the year ending in 2001. Due to the Company's limited use of derivative instruments, the effect of implementation of this new pronouncement did not have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities--This Statement replaces SFAS 125 and resolves various implementation issues while carrying forward most of the provisions of SFAS 125 without change. SFAS 140 revises standards for transfers of financial assets by clarifying criteria and expanding guidance for determining whether the transfers of financial assets by clarifying criteria and expanding guidance for determining whether the transferor has relinquished control and the transfer is therefore accounted for as a sale. SFAS 140 also adopts new accounting requirements for pledged collateral and requires new disclosures about securitization and pledge collateral. SFAS 140 is effective for transfers occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Management does not expect this standard to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 14 Corporate Objectives -------------------- It is the philosophy of the Company to continue to remain independent in ownership, to foster its image as the community leader in banking, to increase its market share through selected acquisitions and aggressive marketing, to maintain a sound earning-asset portfolio, and to assess liquidity needs while maximizing its profitability and return to its shareholders. Forward-Looking Information --------------------------- Statements and financial discussion and analysis by management contained throughout this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates and economic conditions, increased competition for deposits and loans adversely affecting rates and terms, changes in availability of funds increasing costs or reducing liquidity, changes in applicable statutes and governmental regulations, and the loss of any member of senior management or operating personnel and the potential inability to hire qualified personnel at reasonable compensation levels. 15 Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's primary market risk exposures are interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. The Company does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument and the Company is not affected by foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company's financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. A high ratio of interest sensitive liabilities tends to benefit net interest income during periods of falling interest rates as the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declines faster than the average rate earned on interest-earning assets. The opposite holds true during periods of rising interest rates. One of the Company's principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Management recognizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the risk while at the same time maximize income. Accordingly, the Company places great importance on monitoring and controlling interest rate risk. There are several methods employed by the Company to monitor and control interest rate risk. One such method is using a simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates. The simulation model projects net interest income based on both an immediate rise or fall in interest rates (rate shock) over a twelve-month period. The model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The repricing can occur due to changes in rates on variable rate products as well as maturities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The model incorporates assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on the prepayment rate of certain assets and liabilities as well as projections for anticipated activity levels by product lines offered by the Company. The simulation model also takes into account the Company's historical core deposits. Management considers the Company's market risk to be acceptable at this time. One strategy used by the Company to reduce the volatility of its net interest income is to originate variable rate loans tied to market indices. Such loans reprice on an annual, quarterly, monthly or daily basis as the underlying market index change. Currently, approximately 10% of the Company's loan portfolio reprices on at least an annual basis. The Company has also structured the securities portfolio so that most of the mortgage-backed securities reprice on at least an annual basis. The Company also maintains most of its securities in the available for sale portfolio to take advantage of changes in interest rates and to maintain liquidity for loan funding and deposit withdrawals. The mortgage-backed and related securities also provide the Company with a constant cash flow stream from principal repayments. The Company invests short-term excess funds in overnight federal funds that mature and reprice on a daily basis. The Company's 2000 annual report details a table that provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2000. The table is based on information and assumptions set forth in the discussion. The Company believes the assumptions utilized are reasonable. Management believes that no events have occurred since December 31, 2000 which would significantly change the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities for the given time horizons in the table. 16 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
