CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS

OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995:

 

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The forward-looking statements in this report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following possibilities: (i) an inability of the company to realize elements of its strategic plans for 2005 and beyond; (ii) increases in competitive pressure in the banking industry or other factors that may reduce non-interest income; (iii) economic conditions affecting real estate values and transactions in BancGroup’s market and/or general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable than expected; (iv) expected cost savings from recent acquisitions are not fully realized; (v) adverse changes in the interest rate environment which may reduce or expand margins or adversely affect critical estimates as applied and projected returns on investments; (vi) management’s assumptions and estimates underlying critical accounting policies prove to be inadequate or materially incorrect or are not borne out by subsequent events; and (vii) changes which may occur in the regulatory environment. When used in this report, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “should,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions as they relate to BancGroup (including its subsidiaries) or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made. BancGroup does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in BancGroup’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

In the opinion of BancGroup, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly BancGroup’s financial position as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. All 2005 interim amounts are subject to year-end audit, and the results of operations for the interim period herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year.

 

Certain reclassifications were made to prior periods in order to conform with the current period presentation.

 

Sales and Servicing of Financial Assets

 

The Company has a facility in which it sells certain mortgage warehouse loans and mortgage loans held for sale to a wholly-owned special purpose entity (SPE) which then sells interests in those assets to third-party commercial paper conduits. These transactions provide a source of liquidity for the Company and allow the Company to utilize its balance sheet capacity and capital for higher-yielding assets while continuing to manage its customer relationships.

 

Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, any retained interests resulting from sales of financial assets should be recognized at the time of sale. Retained interests include such items as servicing assets or liabilities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, and cash reserve accounts. The previous carrying amount of the assets sold should be allocated between the retained interests and the assets sold based on each component’s fair value in relation to the total fair value at the date of sale. Any gain or loss recognized from the sale would depend in part on the allocation of value to the assets sold and interests retained.

 

Based on the structure of these transactions, the Company’s only retained interest is the assets retained in the SPE as a first risk of loss position. The Company does retain servicing responsibilities for the assets sold and receives a servicing fee as compensation. However, due to the short-term nature of these assets and the Company’s conclusion that the fee represents adequate compensation as a servicer, no servicing asset or liability is recorded. At the time of sale, the previous carrying amount of the assets is allocated between the interests sold and interests retained based on their relative fair values, which approximate cost because of the short-term and floating-rate nature of these assets. The sales price equals the Company’s carrying amount for the assets sold, thus no gain or loss is recorded at the time of sale.

 

The Company provides credit enhancements to these transactions by maintaining assets in the SPE as a first risk of loss position to the interests sold to the commercial paper conduits. This credit risk is reviewed quarterly, and a reserve for loss exposure is maintained in the allowance for loan losses. The Company also provides a liquidity backstop facility to the commercial paper conduits. The Company, under this facility, may be required

to purchase assets from the conduits in certain limited circumstances, including the conduits’ inability to place commercial paper. Colonial includes this liquidity risk in its liquidity risk analysis to ensure that it would have sufficient sources of liquidity.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company began using forward sales commitments as fair value hedges of its short-term participations in mortgage loans which are included in loans held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Prior to January 1, 2005, all loans held for sale were carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. After January 1, 2005, the carrying values of these hedged short-term participations are adjusted for changes in fair value. The fair values are calculated based on changes in market interest rates during the periods that the participations have been on the balance sheet. See Note I for discussion of the derivatives associated with this hedging strategy.

 

Acquired Loans

 

The Company generally acquires loans through business combinations rather than individually or in groups or portfolios. An acquired loan which has experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the Company’s acquisition, and for which it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms, is accounted for under the provisions of SOP 03-3. For such loans, the Company estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (including expected prepayments, if any) as of the acquisition date. The excess of the loan’s contractually required cash flows over the Company’s expected cash flows is referred to as a nonaccretable difference and is not recorded by the Company. The loan is initially recorded at fair value, or the present value of the expected cash flows. The difference between the undiscounted expected cash flows and the fair value at which the loan is recorded is referred to as accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the remaining expected life of the loan.

 

On a quarterly basis, the Company updates its estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. If the estimated cash flows have decreased, the Company creates a valuation allowance equal to the present value of the decrease in the cash flows and recognizes a loss. If the estimated cash flows have increased, the Company would first reverse any existing valuation allowance for that loan, and would then account for the remainder of the increase as an adjustment to the yield accreted on a prospective basis over the loan’s remaining life.

 

Note B: Contingencies

 

BancGroup and its subsidiaries are from time to time defendants in legal actions and assertions from normal business activities. Management does not anticipate that the ultimate liability arising from such matters outstanding at June 30, 2005 will have a materially adverse effect on BancGroup’s financial condition.

 

Note C: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued SOP 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. This SOP addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes such loans acquired in purchase business combinations and applies to all nongovernmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations. This SOP does not apply to loans originated by

the entity. This SOP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. This SOP requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. This SOP prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. This SOP prohibits “carrying over” or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of this SOP. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. This SOP is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The changes required by this SOP have not had and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. With respect to the acquisitions of Union Bank and FFLC Bancorp discussed in Note D, there were no loans and nine loans, respectively, which fell within the scope of this SOP.

 

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary and Its Application to Certain Investments. The Issue applies to debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, certain debt and equity securities within the scope of SFAS 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations, and equity securities that are not subject to the scope of SFAS 115 and not accounted for under the equity method of accounting (i.e., cost method investments). Issue 03-1 outlines a three-step model for assessing other-than-temporary impairment. The model involves first determining whether an investment is impaired, then evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, and if it is, recognizing an impairment loss equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The model was to be applied prospectively to all current and future investments in interim or annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. However, in September 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue 03-1-1 which delayed the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1 until such time as additional implementation guidance could be provided. In June 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, but directed the staff to draft and submit for vote FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, which will replace the measurement and recognition guidance set forth in Issue 03-1 with references to existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. FSP FAS 115-1 will also codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. The FSP is expected to be voted on in the third quarter and would likely be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. The disclosure guidance of Issue 03-1 remains effective. See Note L for BancGroup’s disclosures under Issue 03-1. The changes required by Issue 03-1 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends SFAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. SFAS 123(R) was originally effective for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended this requirement allowing companies to adopt the standard at the beginning of their

THE COLONIAL BANCGROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:

 

    A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date.

 

    A “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

 

The Company plans to adopt SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.

 

As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123(R)’s fair value method will have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, although it will have no material impact on its overall financial position. The impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would likely have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share included in Note J.

 

In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, which provides interpretive guidance on various issues in SFAS 123(R), particularly valuation methodologies and the selection of assumptions. This SAB also discusses the SEC staff’s expectations regarding disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis related to share-based payment transactions, as well as the interaction of SFAS 123(R) with existing SEC guidance, such as that dealing with disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements—An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. It applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 eliminates the requirement in APB Opinion No. 20 to include the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in the income statement in the period of change. Instead, to enhance the comparability of prior period financial statements, SFAS 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. Under retrospective application, the new accounting principle is applied as of the beginning of the first period presented as if that principle had always been used. The cumulative effect of the change is reflected in the carrying value of assets and liabilities as of the first period presented and the offsetting adjustments are recorded to opening retained earnings. Each period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the change. Although retrospective application is similar to restating prior periods, SFAS 154 gives the treatment a new name to differentiate it from restatement for the correction of an error. Only direct effects of the change will be included in the retrospective application; all indirect effects will be recognized in the period of change. If it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect for all prior periods, the new accounting principle should be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early

adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS 154 was issued. The changes required by SFAS 154 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note D: Business Combinations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, BancGroup made the following acquisitions to enhance its geographic position and expand its banking operations within Florida.

 

Union Bank Acquisition

 

BancGroup completed the acquisition of UB Financial Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Bank of Florida (Union), a Florida state chartered bank, on February 10, 2005. Union’s results of operations were included in BancGroup’s consolidated financial results beginning February 11, 2005.

 

Total consideration for the transaction was $233.5 million, consisting of 2,903,402 shares of BancGroup common stock valued at $58.8 million and $174.7 million in cash. This consideration along with other direct acquisition costs and liabilities incurred led to a total acquisition cost of approximately $240.0 million. The value of the common stock issued was determined based on the average market price of BancGroup’s shares over the five day period beginning two days before and ending two days after February 3, the measurement date for this transaction.

 

FFLC Bancorp, Inc. Acquisition

 

BancGroup completed the acquisition of FFLC Bancorp, Inc. (FFLC) and its subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Lake County, on May 18, 2005. FFLC’s results of operations were included in BancGroup’s consolidated financial results beginning May 19, 2005.

 

Total consideration for the transaction was $247.5 million, consisting of 9,419,064 shares of BancGroup common stock valued at $212.9 million, $31.9 million in cash, and stock options valued at $2.7 million. This consideration along with other direct acquisition costs and liabilities incurred led to a total acquisition cost of approximately $250.0 million. The value of the common stock issued was determined based on the average market price of BancGroup’s shares over the five day period beginning two days before and ending two days after May 16, the measurement date for this transaction. The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

Pro Forma Results of Operations

 

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, as if the Union and FFLC acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 2004. Since no consideration is given to operational efficiencies and expanded products and services, the pro forma summary information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations as they actually would have been if the acquisitions had occurred at January 1, 2004:

Note F: Segment Information

 

The Company has six reportable segments for management reporting. Each regional bank segment consists of commercial lending and full service branches in its geographic region with its own management team. The branches provide a full range of traditional banking products as well as financial planning and mortgage banking services. The mortgage warehouse segment headquartered in Orlando, Florida provides loans, collateralized by residential mortgage loans, to mortgage origination companies. The Corporate/Treasury/Other segment includes the investment securities portfolio, wholesale funding activities including long-term debt, short term liquidity and balance sheet risk management including derivative hedging activities, the parent company’s activities, intercompany eliminations, certain support activities not currently allocated to the aforementioned segments and income taxes. In addition, Corporate/Treasury/Other includes income from bank owned life insurance, income and expenses from various nonbank subsidiaries, joint ventures and equity investments, merger related expenses and the unallocated portion of the Company’s financial planning business.

 

The results for these segments are based on our management reporting process, which assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each segment. Unlike financial reporting, there is no authoritative guidance for management reporting equivalent to generally accepted accounting principles. Colonial uses an internal funding methodology to assign funds costs to assets and earning credits to liabilities as well as an internal capital allocation methodology with an offset in Corporate/Treasury/Other. The provision for loan losses included in each segment is based on each segment’s share of the Company’s loan loss reserve. Certain back office support functions are allocated to each segment on the basis most applicable to the function being allocated. The management accounting process measures the performance of the defined segments based on our management structure and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial services companies. If the management structure and/or allocation process changes, allocations, transfers and assignments may change. Results for prior periods have been restated for comparability.

Note G: Long-Term Borrowings

 

In the second quarter of 2005, Colonial prepaid $605 million in long-term borrowings bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 3.92% and unwound the related interest rate swaps, with notional values totaling $60 million. These prepayments resulted in early extinguishment losses of $5.6 million.

 

In March 2005, Colonial prepaid $200 million in long-term borrowings bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 4.98% resulting in early extinguishment losses of $2.3 million.

Note H: Guarantees

 

Standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by Colonial Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. A financial standby letter of credit is a commitment by Colonial Bank to guarantee a customer’s repayment of an outstanding loan or debt instrument. In a performance standby letter of credit, Colonial Bank guarantees a customer’s performance under a contractual nonfinancial obligation for which it receives a fee. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The Company holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, requires the fair value of these commitments to be recorded on the balance sheet. The fair value of the commitment typically approximates the fee received from the customer for issuing such commitments. The amount recorded for fees as of June 30, 2005 was not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2005, Colonial Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding with maturities ranging from less than one year up to 15 years. The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit was $219 million.

 

Note I: Derivatives

 

BancGroup maintains positions in derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and facilitate asset/liability management strategies. The fair value of derivatives are recorded in other assets or other liabilities.

 

Fair Value Hedges

 

At June 30, 2005, BancGroup had interest rate swap positions on subordinated debt, junior subordinated debt, brokered CD’s, long-term FHLB advances and fixed rate loans, which effectively converted their fixed rates to floating. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the corresponding hedged items. There were no hedging gains and losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The related balances of all interest rate swaps by category as of June 30, 2005 are shown below:

Cash Flow Hedges

 

During the second quarter of 2005, Colonial entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the cash flows of variable rate loans, which effectively converted their floating rates to fixed. The initial and ongoing assessments of hedge effectiveness as well as the periodic measurements of hedge ineffectiveness are performed using the change in variable cash flows method. The derivatives are recorded at fair value in other assets with an offsetting entry, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income. There were no cash flow hedging gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness recognized for either the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2005. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are not required to be amortized to earnings (unless

a swap is terminated) because amortization occurs automatically through the accounting for the cash flows of the swaps as adjustments to interest income each period. At June 30, 2005, the cash flow hedges had a notional value of $750 million, fair value of ($398,500), and average maturity of approximately 3 years.

 

Commitments to Originate and Sell Mortgage Loans

 

BancGroup, as part of its retail mortgage loan production activities, routinely enters into short-term commitments to originate fixed rate loans. Most of the loans will be sold to third party correspondent banks upon closing. For those loans, BancGroup enters into individual forward sales commitments at the same time the commitment to originate is finalized. While the forward sales commitments function as an economic hedge and effectively eliminate BancGroup’s financial risk of rate changes during the rate lock period, both the commitment to originate mortgage loans that will be sold and the commitment to sell the mortgage loans are derivatives, the fair values of which are essentially equal and offsetting. The fair values are calculated based on changes in market interest rates after the commitment date. The notional amounts of these mortgage loan origination commitments and the related forward sales commitments were $39.3 million at June 30, 2005. The unrealized gains/losses of the origination and sales commitments were not material at June 30, 2005.

 

BancGroup has also executed individual forward sales commitments related to short-term participations in mortgage loans and retail mortgage loans, which are all classified as loans held for sale. The forward sales commitments related to the short-term participations allow BancGroup to sell the mortgage loan participations to investor institutions for an amount equal to BancGroup’s original acquisition cost. The Company has designated these commitments as fair value hedges of the short-term participations. The forward sales commitments on retail mortgage loans function as an economic offset and mitigate the Company’s market risk on these loans. The notional values of the forward sales commitments on short-term participations and retail mortgage loans at June 30, 2005 were $702.6 million and $47.3 million, respectively. The fair value of the forward sales commitments on the short-term participations was a gain of $87,000 at June 30, 2005, which was offset by a loss of $87,000 on the short-term participations. The fair value of the sales commitments on retail mortgage loans was immaterial.

 

Options

 

BancGroup from time to time enters into over-the-counter option contracts on bonds in its securities portfolio. SFAS No. 133 requires that the fair value of these option contracts be recorded in the financial statements. However, there were no option contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

Note J: Stock-Based Compensation

 

SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. However, SFAS No. 123 allows an entity to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Entities electing to remain with the accounting in Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. BancGroup has elected to continue to measure compensation cost for its stock option plans under the provisions in Opinion No. 25 and has calculated the fair value of outstanding options for purposes of pro forma disclosure utilizing the Black-Scholes method.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

 

The majority of the Company’s options granted vest ratably over a period of five years; therefore for purposes of pro forma disclosures, the compensation expense related to these options has been allocated over the vesting period.

Note K: Pension Plan

 

BancGroup and subsidiaries are participants in a pension plan that covers most employees who have met certain age and length of service requirements. The plan provides benefits based on final average earnings, covered compensation, and years of benefit service. Actuarial computations for financial reporting purposes are based on the projected unit credit method. The measurement date is June 30. Based on current actuarial projections, BancGroup will not be required to make a contribution to the plan in 2005. However, BancGroup assesses the funded status of the plan quarterly and may, at its discretion, make contributions even when not required. Currently, BancGroup does not expect to make a material contribution during 2005.

The securities above consist of Treasury notes and government agency debentures, municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO’s) and mortgage backed securities, AAA-rated private CMO’s and corporate notes. As of June 30, 2005, there were 115 securities carried at an unrealized loss relating to the level of interest rates prevailing in the market. Because of the creditworthiness of the issuers and because the future direction of interest rates is unknown, the impairments are deemed to be temporary. The severity and duration of such impairments are determined by the level of interest rates set by the market. Additionally, BancGroup has the ability to retain these securities until maturity when full repayment would be received. There are also no known current funding needs which would require their liquidation.

Note M: Sales and Servicing of Financial Assets

 

During the first quarter of 2005, the Company structured a facility in which it sold certain mortgage warehouse loans and mortgage loans held for sale to a wholly-owned SPE which then sold interests in those assets to third-party commercial paper conduits. Refer to Note A for further information regarding accounting for these transactions.

 

Total cash proceeds from the sales of interests in these assets to the conduits during the first quarter of 2005 were $750 million, attributable to $435 million of mortgage warehouse loans and $315 million of loans held for sale. Total cash proceeds from sales during the second quarter of 2005 were $250 million, attributable to $138 million of mortgage warehouse loans and $112 million of loans held for sale. Based on the structure of these transactions, the Company’s only retained interest is the assets retained in the SPE as a first risk of loss position. No gain or loss was recorded at the time of sale. The Company receives servicing income based on a percentage of the outstanding balance of assets sold. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized approximately $400,000 of noninterest income related to these transactions, of which $188,000 was servicing income, but no cash was received. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognized approximately $3.5 million of noninterest income related to these transactions, of which $2.1 million was servicing income, and received $2.5 million in cash.

Note N: Variable Interest Entities

 

As discussed in Note M, the Company sells certain financial assets to a wholly-owned SPE which then sells interests in those assets to third-party commercial paper conduits. While the Company has a variable interest in these conduits, it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary, as the Company does not retain the majority of the expected losses or returns. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss at June 30, 2005 as a result of its involvement with these non-consolidated conduits is $50 million, which is the amount that would be paid by the Company in the event of credit-related defaults.

 

There has been no material change in the Company’s other variable interest entities. Refer to the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Note O: Capital Stock

 

On June 24, 2005, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to buy back shares of the Company’s common stock at a total initial cost of approximately $30 million. The agreement is subject to a future contingent purchase price adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s stock over the life of the agreement. The agreement matures on September 30, 2005, but it may be settled at an earlier date at the counterparty’s discretion. The purchase price adjustment can be settled, at the Company’s option, in cash or in shares of its common stock. If the Company elects to net share settle, the maximum number of shares that could be required to be issued is five million. Pursuant to EITF 99-7, Accounting for an Accelerated Share Repurchase Program, the transaction was accounted for in the third quarter as two separate transactions: (a) as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction recorded on the acquisition date and (b) as a forward contract indexed to the Company’s common stock. The treasury stock purchased on July 7, 2005 was approximately 1.4 million shares, at a price of $22.06 per share, which is subject to the future contingent purchase price adjustments discussed previously. The forward contract is accounted for as an equity instrument in accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This discussion and analysis contains statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. See page 3 for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Accounting policies considered relatively more critical due to either the subjectivity involved in the estimate and/or the potential impact that changes in the estimates can have on the reported financial results include the accounting for the allowance for loan losses and the assessment of goodwill impairment. Information concerning these policies is included in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis in BancGroup’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no significant changes in these accounting policies during the first six months of 2005.

Securities

 

Securities available for sale and investment securities totaled $3.1 billion or 14.7% of total assets at June 30, 2005 compared to $3.7 billion or 19.3% of total assets at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, the Company’s securities had an effective duration of 3.02 years. Securities of $40.6 million were sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 at a net realized loss of $1.2 million. Additional securities of $745 million were sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 at a net realized loss of $3.5 million. Unrealized net losses on securities available for sale changed from a pretax loss of $14.2 million at December 31, 2004 to a pretax loss of $16.3 million at June 30, 2005 due to increases in market rates.

 

Loans and Loans Held for Sale

 

Total loans, excluding mortgage warehouse lending, increased by $2.1 billion from the end of 2004. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the sale of branches and mortgage warehouse lending, total loans grew $551 million or 9.4% annualized from the end of 2004. This growth was spread geographically throughout our segments with 53% from Florida, 23% from Texas, 9% from Georgia, 6% from Nevada, 4% from Alabama and 5% from other. Mortgage warehouse loans ended the second quarter of 2005 at $713 million compared to $1.1 billion at the end of 2004. This decrease was the result of the sale of loans to commercial paper conduits of $573 million offset partially by internal growth of $172 million.

 

Loans held for sale is made up of three components: mortgage warehouse, retail mortgages, and non-mortgage loans held for sale. Total loans held for sale increased $73 million from December 31, 2004 primarily due to internal growth of $473 million in the mortgage warehouse component offset by the sale of $427 million to commercial paper conduits. In addition, the retail mortgage component grew $26 million for the same period. The purpose of the mortgage warehouse component of loans held for sale is to accommodate the funding needs of mortgage company customers, therefore these balances, as well as the retail mortgage balances, fluctuate as demand for residential mortgages change.

Commercial real estate and construction loans combined had growth, excluding acquisitions, of $423 million, or 5.2%, from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. Geographically, the Florida locations continue to contribute most of the growth in these particular portfolios. The acquisition of Union in February 2005 contributed an additional $478 million to these portfolios and the acquisition of FFLC in May 2005 contributed an additional $369 million. Colonial continues to focus its commercial real estate and construction growth efforts on high quality properties owned and/or developed by experienced customers with whom we have established relationships. Substantially all construction and commercial real estate loans have personal guarantees of the principals involved.

 

Residential real estate loans represent approximately 20% and 17% of total loans at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. These loans are primarily adjustable rate first and second mortgages on single-family, owner-occupied properties.

 

BancGroup’s mortgage warehouse lending division provides lines of credit collateralized by residential mortgage loans to mortgage origination companies. Mortgage warehouse loans outstanding at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $713 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, with unfunded commitments of $560 million and $771 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

The Company has 44 credits with commitments (funded and unfunded) of $881 million that fall within the bank regulatory definition of a “Shared National Credit” (generally defined as a total loan commitment in excess of $20 million that is shared by three or more lenders). The largest outstanding amount the Company has to any single borrower is $81 million (which is a mortgage warehouse lending credit), with the smallest credit being approximately $20,000. At June 30, 2005, $551 million of these commitments were funded.

 

26


Table of Contents

Although by definition these commitments are considered Shared National Credits, BancGroup’s loan officers have established long-term relationships with most of these borrowers. These commitments are comprised of the following:

 

    66% - mortgage warehouse lines to 18 large institutions,

 

    32% - 25 commercial real estate credit facilities to companies with headquarters, or principals, located within Colonial’s existing markets, and

 

    2% - one operating facility to a large national insurance company.

 

Management believes that these are sound participations involving credits that are consistent with Colonial Bank’s lending philosophy and meet its conservative underwriting guidelines.

Nonperforming Assets

 

BancGroup classifies problem loans into four categories: nonaccrual, past due, renegotiated and other potential problems. When management determines that a loan no longer meets the criteria for a performing loan, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual if full collection of principal and interest becomes unlikely (even if all payments are current) or if the loan is delinquent in principal or interest payments for 90 days or more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. BancGroup’s

policy is also to charge off consumer installment loans 120 days past due unless they are in the process of foreclosure and are adequately collateralized. Management closely monitors all loans that are contractually 90 days past due, renegotiated or nonaccrual. These loans are summarized as follows:

Fluctuations from year to year in the balances of nonperforming assets are attributable to several factors including changing economic conditions in various markets, nonperforming assets obtained in various acquisitions and the disproportionate impact of larger (over $5,000,000) individual credits.

 

In addition to the loans reported as nonperforming loans above, management, through its loan officers, internal credit review staff and external examinations by regulatory agencies, has identified approximately $182.6 million of loans, which have been placed on a classified loan list excluding nonaccrual, other real estate, repossessions and loans that are contractually 90 days past due. The status of all material classified loans is reviewed at least monthly by loan officers, quarterly by BancGroup’s centralized credit administration function and annually by regulatory agencies. In connection with such reviews, collateral values are updated where considered necessary as loans are deemed impaired. If collateral values are judged insufficient or other sources of repayment are deemed inadequate, the amount of reserve held is increased or the loan is reduced to estimated recoverable amounts. As of June 30, 2005, substantially all of these classified loans are current with their existing repayment terms. Management believes that classification of such loans well in advance of their reaching a delinquent status allows the Company the greatest flexibility in correcting problems and providing adequate reserves. Given the reserves and the demonstrated ability of the borrowers to comply with the existing repayment terms, management believes any exposure from these loans has been adequately addressed at the present time.

 

The above nonperforming loans represent all material credits for which management has significant doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Management also expects that the resolution of these problem credits as well as other performing loans will not materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

 

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. As mentioned previously, Colonial’s credit risk management area performs detailed verification and testing to ensure appropriate identification of impaired loans and that proper reserves are held on

these loans. The recorded investment in impaired loans at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $17.8 million and $24.8 million, respectively, and these loans had a corresponding valuation allowance of $4.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

Asset/liability management involves the evaluation, monitoring and management of interest rate risk, liquidity and funding. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for Colonial’s asset/liability management policies. To ensure adherence to these policies, the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. The guidelines apply to both on and off-balance sheet positions. The goal of the ALCO process is to maximize earnings while carefully controlling interest rate risk.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

Interest rate risk, and its potential effects on earnings, is inherent in the operations of a financial institution. We are subject to interest rate risk because:

 

    Assets and liabilities may mature or re-price at different times (for example, if assets re-price faster than liabilities and interest rates are generally falling, earnings will initially decline);

 

    Assets and liabilities may re-price at the same time but by different amounts (for example, when the general level of interest rates is falling, we may reduce rates paid on checking and savings deposit accounts by an amount that is less than the general decline in market interest rates);

 

    Short-term and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts (for example, the shape of the yield curve may affect new loan yields and funding costs differently); or

 

    The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change (for example, if long-term mortgage interest rates decline sharply, mortgage-backed securities held in the securities available for sale portfolio may prepay significantly earlier than anticipated—which could reduce portfolio income). In addition, interest rates may have an indirect impact on loan demand, credit losses, mortgage origination volume, the value of the pension liability and other sources of earnings.

 

Asset/liability management activities include lending, accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities, issuing debt and mitigating interest rate risk. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that of interest cost on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the balance sheet is managed so that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are highly correlated in a manner intended to allow Colonial’s interest bearing assets and liabilities to contribute to earnings even in periods of volatile interest rates.

 

Colonial employs the following measurement techniques in the management of interest rate risk: simulation of earnings and simulation of the economic value of equity. These techniques are complementary and are used in concert to provide a comprehensive interest rate risk management capability.

 

Simulation of earnings is the primary tool used to measure the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes. Using computer modeling techniques, Colonial is able to measure the potential impact of different interest rate assumptions on pre-tax earnings. All on-balance sheet positions, including derivative financial instruments, are included in the model simulation.

 

The following table represents the output from the Company’s simulation model based on the balance sheet at June 30, 2005, when the Fed Funds Rate was 3.25%. The table measures the impact on net interest income of an immediate and sustained change in all market interest rates in 100 basis point increments for the twelve

(1) The computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, estimates of rates on loans and deposits given these rate changes, the ability to maintain interest rate floors on loans as market rates decline, deposit decay rates and loan/investment prepayments. Further, the computations do not take into account changes to the slope of the yield curve, changes in the relative relationship of various market rates, changes in the volume or mix of asset and liabilities on the balance sheet nor do they contemplate any actions BancGroup could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity is the ability of an organization to meet its financial commitments and obligations on a timely basis. These commitments and obligations include credit needs of customers, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt when due and payment of operating expenses and dividends. Management of liquidity also includes management of funding sources and their utilization based on current, future and contingency needs. Maintaining and managing adequate liquidity and funding is another prominent focus of ALCO.

 

Deposit growth is a primary focus of BancGroup’s funding and liquidity strategy. Average non-time deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2005, grew by $1.8 billion, or 29% (18% excluding the impact of acquisitions and the sale of branches) over the six months ended June 30, 2004. Average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2005, increased by $2.7 billion, or 26% (15% excluding the impact of acquisitions and the sale of branches) over the comparable period of 2004. These increases improved the percentage of average total deposits to average total liabilities to 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 66% for the comparable period of the prior year.

 

As part of its planning for future funding needs, BancGroup continues to focus on expanding the availability of wholesale funding sources and growing deposits. Wholesale funding sources include availability from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, borrowings collateralized by securities and loans, fed funds purchased and brokered CD’s. BancGroup utilized 46% of its estimated available wholesale funding sources at June 30, 2005 compared to 54% at June 30, 2004.

 

Capital Adequacy and Resources

 

Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect shareholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management’s strategy to achieve these goals is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to shareholders in the form of dividends and return on equity. The Company’s annual dividend payout ratio target range is 35 – 45% of net income. Dividend rates are determined by the Board of Directors in consideration of several factors including current and projected capital ratios, liquidity and income levels and other bank dividend yields and payment ratios.

The amount of a cash dividend, if any, rests within the discretion of the Board of Directors of BancGroup as well as upon applicable statutory constraints such as the Delaware law requirement that dividends may be paid only out of capital surplus and net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and the preceding fiscal year.

 

BancGroup also has access to equity capital markets through both public and private issuances. Management considers these sources and related return in addition to internally generated capital in evaluating future expansion or acquisition opportunities.

 

The Federal Reserve Board has issued guidelines identifying minimum Tier I leverage ratios relative to total assets and minimum capital ratios relative to risk-adjusted assets. The minimum leverage ratio is 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating. A minimum leverage ratio of 4% is required for all bank holding companies not meeting this criteria. Higher capital ratios may be required if warranted by the particular circumstance or risk profile. The minimum risk adjusted capital ratios established by the Federal Reserve are 4% for Tier I and 8% for total capital. BancGroup’s actual capital ratios and the components of capital and risk adjusted asset information (subject to regulatory review) as of June 30, 2005 are stated below:

 

Capital

Risk-Adjusted Capital Ratios:

            

Tier I Capital Ratio

   8.84 %   8.77 %

Total Capital Ratio

   11.06 %   11.36 %

(1) Due to the adoption of FIN 46, BancGroup no longer reflects trust preferred securities on its consolidated statement of condition, but rather reflects these securities as junior subordinated debentures. However, under current regulatory guidelines, these securities continue to qualify for Tier 1 Capital treatment.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rate volatility, which impacts the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as their rates, can significantly impact net interest income.

 

BancGroup reported net interest income for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2005 of $344 million and $177.4 million, a 24% increase over both the $276.7 million and $143.6 million recorded for the same periods of the previous year, respectively.

 

The “Average Volume and Rates” and “Analysis of Interest Increases (Decreases)” tables present the individual components of net interest income and the net interest margin. Discussion of the changes in these components is provided following the tables.

Table of Contents

The increase in net interest income was mainly attributable to the growth in average earning assets and the increase in yield on earning assets of 83 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and a 66 basis points increase in yield for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. The growth in average earning assets was primarily in loans, excluding mortgage warehouse. For the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, average loans, excluding mortgage warehouse, increased 21.4%, or $2.3 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, average loans, excluding mortgage warehouse, increased 18.4%, or $2.0 billion. The yield on loans, excluding mortgage warehouse, increased 102 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and 86 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. The yield on earning assets was also affected by the yield on mortgage warehouse loans which increased 104 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and 90 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

 

Other factors affecting the growth in average earning assets were increases in averages for securities, loans held for sale and other interest-earning assets. Average securities increased 12.1%, or $407.6 million, for the second quarter of 2005 and 16.8%, or $548.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. Average loans held for sale increased 56.3%, or $242.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004. Average other interest-earning assets increased 335.7%, or $342.7 million, for the second quarter of 2005 and 494.2%, or $322.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to same periods in 2004.

 

Another driver of the increase in net interest income was strong average deposit growth. Average deposits increased $2.9 billion in the second quarter of 2005, or 27.2%, over the second quarter of 2004. Average deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $2.7 billion, or 25.9%, compared to the same period in 2004. The strong growth in deposits lessened the Company’s dependence on wholesale funding. During the second quarter of 2005, average deposits comprised 72% of average funding compared to 66% for the second quarter of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, average deposits comprised 70% of average funding compared to 66% for the same period in the prior year. Average short-term borrowings decreased 3.8%, or $116.6, million for the second quarter of 2005 and increased 9.0% or $255 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. Average long-term debt decreased 0.2%, or $4.4 million, for the second quarter of 2005 and increased 1.9%, or $42.9 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

 

In conjunction with the rise in rates on earning assets, the cost of funding also increased during the period. The Company’s cost of deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, increased only 45 basis points for the second quarter 2005 and 31 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004, while the cost of short-term borrowings increased 170 basis points for the second quarter 2005 and 151 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. The cost of long-term debt also increased 80 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and 47 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004. The cost of average interest bearing deposits was 110 basis points less than the rate on average wholesale borrowings in the second quarter of 2005, as compared to 39 basis points less in the second quarter of 2004. The cost of average interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 109 basis points less than the rate on average wholesale borrowings, as compared to 51 basis points less for the six months ended June 30, 2004. As a result of the improved funding mix, the Company’s cost of funding increased only 83 basis points for the second quarter of 2005 and 63 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

 

The Company’s net interest margin increased for the 7th consecutive quarter to 3.78% and was 18 basis points over the second quarter of 2004. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 3.75% and 16 basis points over the same period of the prior year.

 

Securities comprised only 16% of earning assets, and approximately 77% of loans were adjustable or variable rate at June 30, 2005. Colonial’s interest rate risk profile was slightly asset sensitive at quarter end.

Loan Loss Provision

 

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $9.0 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2004. Year to date loan loss provision for 2005 was $14.9 million compared to $14.5 million in 2004. Net charge-offs were $5.3 million and $12.3 million, or 0.15% annualized and 0.18% annualized as a percent of average net loans, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and $6.9 million and $12.9 million, or 0.23% annualized and 0.22% annualized, for the same periods in 2004. The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $166.1 million at June 30, 2005, which represented 1.14% of period end loans compared to 1.16% at December 31, 2004.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Sources of noninterest income include service charges on deposit accounts, financial planning services, electronic banking services, mortgage warehouse fees, mortgage origination income, securities losses/gains and the gain from the sale of branches. Noninterest income, excluding securities losses/gains and the gain on sale of branches, increased $10.0 million, or 29.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $202,000, or 1.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 and $755,000, or 2.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Financial planning services revenue decreased $854,000, or 21.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from the same period in 2004 and decreased $86,000, or 1.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from the same period in 2004.

Electronic banking services enable our customers to bank when and where they want. Electronic banking includes an ATM network, business and personal check cards and internet banking with bill pay service. Noninterest income from electronic banking services increased $747,000, or 23.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 and $1.4 million, or 23.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily the result of deposit growth, increased check card and internet banking usage and additional penetration of the customer base.

 

As discussed in greater detail in Note M, mortgage warehouse earns noninterest income on services performed in connection with the loans and loans held for sale that were sold to third party commercial paper conduits. This additional income accounted for $3.5 million of the increase in mortgage warehouse fees for the second quarter of 2005, and $3.9 million of the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same periods in 2004.

 

Income from bank owned life insurance and other income increased $1.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $2.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same periods in 2004. The increase in bank owned life insurance corresponds with an additional $100 million policy purchased in October of 2004. The increase in other income was primarily from nonrecurring gains on the sale of certain other assets of $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Additional increases in other income were attributable to customer and official check fees, option income and income from the Goldleaf Technologies subsidiary.

 

Noninterest income was also impacted by the Company’s sale of branches and securities during the period. BancGroup sold seven branches on June 24, 2005, four in Alabama and three in Tennessee. Approximately $18 million in loans and $139 million in deposits were included in the sale. Colonial recognized a $9.6 million gain on the sale of branches. Net losses on the sale of securities for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $3.5 million
