PART I.
Item 1. BUSINESS
General
Second Bancorp Incorporated (Second Bancorp) is a one-bank financial holding company with its most significant subsidiary being The Second National Bank of Warren (Second National), a Warren, Ohio based commercial bank. Operating through 35 branches, Second National offers a wide range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services primarily to business and individual customers in various communities in a nine county area in northeast and east-central Ohio. A second operating subsidiary is Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency, which sells a wide range of property, casualty, life and health insurance products in northeast Ohio. At December 31, 2002, Second Bancorp had consolidated total assets of $1.89 billion, deposits of $1.20 billion and shareholders equity of $136 million. The Corporation also maintains another subsidiary, Second Bancorp Capital Trust I, which was established in 2001 to facilitate raising Tier I eligible capital in the form of corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities of subsidiary trust for the primary purpose of funding our acquisition of Commerce Exchange Corporation. Additional non-operating subsidiaries include Second National Capital Corporation and Second National Financial Company, LLC, which were formed in 2002 to facilitate a capital conversion plan for the subsidiary Bank.
Second National focuses its marketing efforts primarily on local independent commercial and professional firms, the individuals who are the owners and principals of such firms as well as the low-to-moderate to upper income retail customers in Second Nationals trade areas. In recent years, Second Bancorp has emphasized increased commercial, direct consumer and real estate lending as well as market area expansion.
Primary Business Operations
We currently operate three major lines of business.
Commercial
Commercial includes credit and related financial services to
small-to-large-sized corporations and businesses.
Our commercial lending activities focus primarily on providing local independent commercial and professional firms with commercial business loans and loans secured by owner-occupied real estate. Typically, our customers financing requirements range from $250,000 to $10 million. We primarily make secured and unsecured commercial loans for general business purposes, including working capital, accounts receivable financing, machinery and equipment acquisition, and commercial real estate financing. These loans have both fixed and floating interest rates and typically have maturities of three to seven years. Commercial loans comprised approximately 46% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2002.
Second National Commercial Banking Introduces the Financial Services Center Concept, Bringing Focus To a Combined Effort From All Business Lines. The growing complexity of commercial banking has meant that progressive banks can no longer do business in ways that had worked well for many years. During 2002, Second National responded to that reality by inaugurating its Financial Services Center or hub concept as a primary conduit to increased income coupled with reduced and controlled expenses.
By way of definition: a Financial Services Center is a strategically located facility in which commercial bankers are combined with a team of other disciplines: private banking, retail, wealth management, investments, all under the same roof. That creates an ideal environment for clients because it provides them all the product and service opportunities they would find at the main office in Warren. It is extremely efficient for Second National because our in-house team of diverse talents and expertise can bounce ideas off each other, help one another in cross-selling, and develop synergies between our different lines of business.
1
Currently Second National operates four Financial Services Centers in Boardman, Beachwood, Akron and North Olmsted in addition to our Warren Headquarters. All are customized to some degree to accommodate local marketplace variations, but all follow a basic template for integrating on-site representatives from all of the Banks lines of business.
Although it is tempting to simplify this as a one-stop shopping opportunity, the concept goes much deeper than that. Our objective is not just to make all our products available, but to match our wide-ranging product line to meet very specific client needs. The Financial Services Center concept is rooted in our commitment to sharing knowledge within for the purpose of coordinating cross-sells. Referrals between lines of business are logistically more likely when commercial lenders, private bankers, wealth managers and investment professionals are all literally just down the hall from each other.
Additionally, this new approach to doing business is in keeping with Second Nationals priority commitment to developing and maintaining long-term client relationships. Most notably, it puts our entire team much closer to local markets, making it easier to serve the needs of clients whom we know very well...and others whom we are now able to know better because we can efficiently offer everything they need from one location in their own backyard.
Commercial Banking Continues to Grow its Reputation as a Leader in Northeast Ohio. Our increasingly positive reputation has enabled us to successfully compete in larger commercial relationships.
As of July 31, 2002, our fee generation had already exceeded all of 2001 and ended this year at over $2 million or 67% above the prior year. Similarly, new loan production had already exceeded the entire year of 2001 by mid-2002 with year-end totals approaching $200 million, up 83% over the previous year.
This progress has been fueled by a very competent core team of bankers and underwriters, most of who have been with the organization for more than four years. Using input from our Finance Division and the Financial Information System (FIS), we are able to develop accurate pricing models balancing growth and profitability. We have also standardized practices for transferring of assets to Asset Recovery. Those procedures provide the Recovery Department with up-to-date analysis of the borrowers situation.
New Initiatives Emphasize Our Long-Standing Commitment to Small Business Banking. Small Business Banking at Second National benefited from an infusion of new energy during 2002 as professionals (charged with creating and enhancing commercial banking services to accounts with borrowings under $400,000) were located at each of our Financial Services Centers.
Those bankers will have at their disposal technology and product lines to equal or surpass the competition. Of equal importance, they will approach the marketplace with a positive differentiating philosophy. Unlike other organizations that use various business models to determine whether they will grant loans to small businesses, Second National maintains a high touch delivery system based on actual face-to-face interaction with each prospect or client, plus local loan authority resulting in quicker, more accurate decision-making. Our higher level of human contact will also help generate cross-selling opportunities in that each Financial Services Center includes wealth management, investment and retail associates.
These efforts are now supported by new display advertising and sales brochures plus a Small Business Banking section on www.secondnationalbank.com. Online Business Banking simplifies routine small business banking tasks. Clients can easily access daily account balances and transaction information, transfer funds between accounts, make loan payments and much more, without ever leaving the office. Business clients participating in this service have more than tripled since year-end 2001.
Reflective of our performance, Second National Bank has been, for the fourth consecutive year, recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for achieving a top position in SBA loan volume among lenders in the Cleveland District. Second Nationals SBA activities resulted in 74 loans totaling $8.724 million, making us the largest community bank lender in the Cleveland SBA district, as well as the leading SBA lender to the small business community within the Warren-Youngstown market.

Retail
Retail includes deposit gathering, direct and indirect consumer lending along
with a minor amount of small business banking services.
We offer a full range of consumer loans to individuals, including the owners and principals of our commercial customers and a wide range of retail customers in our market area. We offer consumer loans for a variety of personal financial needs, including home equity, new and used automobiles, boat and recreational vehicle loans, credit cards and overdraft protection for checking account customers. At December 31, 2002, approximately 40% of our consumer loans consisted of indirect auto, boat and recreational vehicle loans, which are originated through dealers in the local area. Consumer loans comprised approximately 28% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2002.
Retail Banking Begins A Strategic Upgrade Of Its Entire Network. Second National has begun a strategic upgrade of its retail banking network based on an in-depth analysis of product demand and market share in primary market areas. We regard this as a prime opportunity to enhance and expand our ability to compete and serve in key markets where we have successfully grown from a small presence to a market share level that allows us to offer our clients new, state-of-the-art facilities in which to conduct their business. Specifically:
| North Olmsted. Second National Bank relocated its North Olmsted Banking Center on November 12, 2002, opening the doors to a new Financial Services Center in North Olmsted. | |
This was much more than a routine relocation. Second National has now established a true hub to serve the financial needs of the entire west-Cleveland area. We have doubled the physical size of our presence in North Olmsted but more importantly have made all business lines available to clients from this single Financial Services Center. The new North Olmsted location features significant improvements including drive-thru lanes, a drive-up ATM and safe deposit boxes. A convenient night depository is also available. The new facility provides customer friendly access in and out from main roads where traffic is well controlled. | ||
| Hudson. With a capital expenditure of nearly $1 million, a new retail banking facility will be constructed in Hudson. The new full-service banking center will include drive-thru lanes, a drive-up ATM, additional safe deposit boxes and easy access. The enlarged office will retain its Western Reserve atmosphere. The Second National Stow and present Hudson banking centers will be merged into the newly expanded facility scheduled to open in the summer of 2003. | |
| Kent. Another expanded banking facility will be built in Kent. An investment of nearly $1 million will provide multiple drive-thru lanes, a drive-up ATM and safe deposit boxes. Supported by the Banks increasing market share in the Kent-Brimfield area and customer demand for an expanded facility, the present Brimfield and Kent banking centers will be moved into the new Kent facility in the spring of 2003. | |
| Medina. Second National Bank will relocate its present Medina facility to a new office in a prime traffic area. The million-dollar retail banking center is scheduled to open in the summer of 2003 and will feature multiple drive-thru lanes, a drive-up ATM and safe deposit boxes. | |
| Wooster. A new full-service banking center in Wooster in the summer of 2003 will provide Second National with an opportunity to establish a major presence in Wayne County adding to the Loan Production Office already serving clients there. | |
| Howland. Second National Bank purchased approximately $2.6 million of deposits from Metropolitan National Bank headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio. Metropolitan had previously announced its intention to close its Howland office. The Second National banking centers closest to Metropolitans former Howland office are our facilities in Niles and Howland. | |
| Steubenville. As part of our intensified focus on taking advantage of proven growth opportunities in key northeast Ohio markets, Second National has sold our two banking centers in Steubenville, Ohio. The two locations have been acquired by Advance Financial Savings Bank, subsidiary of Advance Financial Bancorp located in Wellsburg, West Virginia. The two Steubenville banking centers |
3
originally became part of our organization through the acquisition of Trumbull Savings. Because they are not part of our primary northeast Ohio marketplace, their divestiture in February 2003 will enable Second National to reallocate important resources toward strengthening strategic efforts in demographics where we can take advantage of significant growth opportunities. | ||
| Solon. Second National Banks Solon banking center was closed on September 30, 2002 for the purpose of expanding product and service opportunities at our banking centers in nearby Twinsburg and Beachwood. Specifically with: increased professional staff at each location ... added drive-thru lanes and safe deposit boxes at Twinsburg ... plus quick access to a full complement of commercial lenders and private banking, mortgage loan, and wealth management specialists at the Beachwood banking center. |
New Concepts in Knowledge-Based Marketing Support Organizational Goals and Banking Center Reconfigurations. In previous years, our approach to marketing was driven by a universal or single-message approach to our entire market. As we grew and expanded into ever-changing markets, we recognized the need for streamlining our communications to reflect those changes. Consequently, 2002 was a watershed year in which we began to refine our marketing approaches with focused messages targeted to specific audiences, specific to banking center and market, thereby maximizing the potential of our diverse market areas.
During 2002, we strove to maintain, within established markets, our current client base while creating awareness of our broader capabilities. We also gave trial exposure to specific non-core deposit and consumer loan products. In our growth markets we addressed the need to further create basic awareness of Second National, drive core deposit and loan sales, and further introduce and build our overall brand position. Central to those efforts was the use of high-reach, high-impact television and radio media, while continuing print mediadisplay advertising, public relations and direct mailingas formats for communicating the highest degree of specific product detail.
Key to marketing and marketing communications was the decision, during 2002, to identify and capitalize on high growth opportunities within our marketplaces. To facilitate this we employed BancIntelligence, a professional service that examined our entire network and evaluated individual banking centers against numerous criteria. BancIntelligence also provided promotional effectiveness recommendations for each of our banking centers.
We have now matched BancIntelligence data, by banking center, with our 2003 organizational plan and various demographic data to determine our specific strategies by market. As dictated by our positioning line, The People Making Banking Better®, all communications will be guided according to our commitment to providing clients with unparalleled quality in products and services. Implementation of our new direction of approaching markets based on an educated understanding of varying needs will be undertaken with the ultimate objective of significantly increasing our return on investment.
Deposit Line of Business Introduces a New Interest Bearing Checking Account While Continuing Progress with Existing Products. As a revenue-driver for our deposit line of business, Second National Bank introduced the Satisfaction NOWsm account, an interest bearing checking account. Satisfaction NOW is a premium priced, tiered transaction account. The features of the product are unlimited access to an account that pays an introductory rate for 90 days and a premium rate on a tiered basis thereafter. The Your Best Interestsm account continues to be very popular with consumers and has become a product of choice through which to keep funds liquid while still receiving a competitive rate. More than $200 million is now resident in the Your Best Interest product.
Relative to the deposit line of business, we have also continued excellent progress in generating demand deposit accounts during 2002. As of year-end, we have increased outstandings by $34.8 million or 24.3%. Demand deposit transaction accounts are a springboard to profitability due to revenue generated by way of ATM, debit card and overdraft fees as well as interest spread.
Innovative Thinking Results in Increased Consumer Loans. During 2002, zero-percent financing programs offered by automotive manufacturers generated creative thinking on the part of professionals in Second Nationals Consumer Loan Department, resulting in an increase of 203% over 2001 specific to loans for boats and recreational vehicles. By attending marine and RV shows, lending officers were able
4
to attract the attention of numerous dealers with our ability to understand their markets, provide highly competitive rates, and give extremely quick turnaround decisions on loan applications.
The Client Advantage Program Grows as Part of Our Corporate Culture. The Client Advantage Program (CAP) was created to build positive, long-term relationships with Second National clients by helping to identify optimum combinations of products and services.
The entire CAP initiative is based on the conviction that the more we know about our clients, the better service we can provide. To that end, our retail associates have completed 13,024 Client Preference Interviews during 2002. The detailed information provided by those surveys assists our associates in becoming more aware of the many opportunities to proactively help our clients. Because such knowledge is applied through direct contact with clients, ongoing training, coaching and counseling, such as outbound retail calling support programs for tellers and personal bankers, have also intensified to help ensure proper follow-through. During 2002, 48,255 outbound retail calls were made.
The backbone of CAP is the fact that all activities can be tracked and measured. Monthly Achievement Results (MARs) are now available on the BankWeb allowing associates and supervisors to review all current specifics. Information is also available for each banking center and for each region. A MAR for every teller will soon be added. Moreover, the MAR format has the capability of being expanded to include other sales associates in other areas of the Bank. MARs are used to coach and encourage selling efforts by providing a complete overview as to the status of goal achievement.
Additionally, CAP has contributed to an overall understanding of the importance of cross selling. In August 2001, the average associate cross sell was 2.23. In December 2002, the average associate cross sell was 2.65. In August 2001, the average banking center cross sell was 2.10. In December 2002, the average banking center cross sell was 2.62.
As part of the concerted effort to increase cross selling, CAP also embraced an initiative developed to focus on the objective of converting existing single-account clients into dual or multi-account clients.
Specifically: a large number of single-account clients were identified representing a large share of all current retail business. Most of those clients had done business with Second National Bank for some time. We applied our current technology, extensive training, sales skills, and diverse products to increase the retail cross sell ratio within this group of single-account clients.
Within the span of nine months, this initiative resulted in 1,200 clients being cross-sold into multiple relationships. As the overall program grows and expands, the single-account list will be further defined so-as to match clients with probable best cross sell products.
As CAP becomes firmly established in the banking centers, throughout the retail side of the business, the program will then be evaluated with an eye toward broadening it into other areas including Private Banking, Wealth Management and Mortgage Lending.
Mortgage
Mortgage includes mortgage banking activities, including the ownership,
origination, sale and servicing of mortgages.
Our mortgage banking department underwrites and originates a wide range of mortgage loan products and sells a significant volume of them primarily on a servicing retained basis. Generally, the loans sold into the secondary mortgage market make funds available for reuse in mortgage or other lending activities. The sales typically generate a net gain (including origination fee income and deferred origination costs), limit the interest rate risk caused by holding long-term, fixed-rate loans, and supplement our portfolio of serviced loans which generate fee income. We originated over $920 million of loans in 2002 and serviced $1.32 billion in mortgage loans for others at December 31, 2002.
A Year of Phenomenal Growth in Mortgage Loans. Second Nationals Mortgage Loan line of business has established for itself a very clear set of objectives. The strong commitment continues to be capitalizing on the profitability of mortgage loans with a sales culture focus while increasing fee generation; the sale of investment quality mortgages and enhanced technological resources.
5
| In January 2001, Second National processed and closed 113 mortgage loans for approximately $12.7 million. In the record month of October 2002, the Bank processed and closed 1,137 loans for a total of $124.8 million for a 983% growth in less than 24 months. For the entire year of 2002, the Bank processed and closed 9,112 loans for a total of $935.3 million. | |
| During the entire year of 1999, Second National sold $119 million in mortgage loans. For the entire year of 2002, the Bank sold $865 million with $146 million in the month of December alone. | |
| In just four years, mortgage loans serviced for others have exploded from an annual figure of only $41 million to surpassing the $1 billion benchmark. | |
| Second Nationals mortgage loan servicing performance has earned the Bank the highest Tier 1 rating assigned by Freddie Mac. This, in turn, has created opportunities that have not before existed. | |
| In 1999, the Bank had only 5 mortgage loan originators. Today there are a total of 75 persons taking mortgage loan applications; 15 do so as their sole job responsibility. | |
| On the wholesale lending side of the mortgage business, the Bank has grown from approximately 10 correspondents to more than 200 highly qualified correspondents in a five state area. | |
| In the past four years, the number of mortgage loans actively being serviced has risen from 2,000 to 18,500. | |
| In less than five years, Second National Bank has gone from being a me-too mortgage lender to the leading mortgage loan institution in Trumbull Countyand a major player in Ohio. |
One of the most far-reaching advancements made at Second National during recent years has been the implementation of LoanQuest by MortgageFlex. This fact-based system enables us to commit loans to an investor as soon as the initial application is locked, minimizing the Banks mortgage interest rate risk. Our competitive rates have increased our volume to an all time record high. Moreover, such technological advancements have enabled loan applications to be channeled through a single system, broadening the number of authorized persons with access to origination procedures and contributing to speed, accuracy and the ability to handle high volume by electronically streamlining what used to be a time-consuming manual effort.
The benefits of technology are being felt in other ways as well. Second National has recently entered into a relationship with our primary mortgage loan investor FreddieMac and mortgagebot® a preferred FreddieMac vendor. Initially, a link on Second Nationals Web site will permit originators to perform instant pre-approvals at the point-of-sale.
Operating Strategy
Reallocating our business mix to strengthen and stabilize our net interest
margin. We are focused on restructuring both the asset and liability side of
our balance sheet in order to increase our net interest margin and reduce net
interest margin volatility. We are actively working to improve profitability by
generating more core deposits in order to reduce our cost of funds. To achieve
this goal, we have launched a new product line of personal and business deposit
accounts including many new and innovative products, allocated more funding to
advertising, and introduced employee incentives focused on core deposit growth.
During 2002, the number of demand deposit, NOW and MMDA accounts increased at
an annualized rate of 5.3%. On the asset side, we intend to return to a more
traditional commercial bank mix, which had been impacted by our acquisition of
a large thrift in 1998. We are focused on making our loan portfolio more
balanced. The approximate loan distribution at December 31, 2002 was 38.8% of
total loans were residential real estate, 33.11% were commercial real estate,
13.36% were commercial and 14.72% were consumer. Our goal is to achieve a mix
of approximately 25% in each category.
Improving financial performance by leveraging our financial information system and controls. We intend to improve our financial performance and efficiency by leveraging our newly installed, state-of-the-art financial information system which will allow us to budget and assess financial performance across the entire organization. The use of this sophisticated tool throughout the organization is a vital link in our
6
efforts to rigorously control costs and react quickly to changes in our markets. This financial information system supports growth, efficiency and flexibility, by incorporating line-of-business accountability, comprehensive budgeting, forecasting flexibility and real-time reporting. This comprehensive new budgeting and forecasting system will give us the ability to forecast on an 18-month time horizon and to continuously update those forecasts as market conditions change. The value of the financial information system is that it allows us to better manage our business by the numbers, focusing on responsibility, accountability and the ability to proactively manage our lines of business. We anticipate that the financial information system will allow us to keep on budget and remain responsive to market opportunities.
Improving efficiency. We are committed to improving our efficiency; including implementing disciplined cost controls and aligning management incentives with corporate goals. We are focused on streamlining, reorganizing and re-examining our policies, processes and procedures. We believe we will be able to reduce personnel costs through attrition and still maintain our high level of customer service, due in part to the accountability and responsibility focus enabled by our new financial information system. Although on a GAAP basis there was a slight increase in our efficiency ratio in 2002, on a non-GAAP basis, excluding the banking center reconfiguration and merger costs, the efficiency ratio improved from 58.4% in 2001 to 58.1% in 2002.
Creating a culture focused on building strong, profitable customer relationships. Our business depends on increased relationship building in our northeast and east-central Ohio service area where we do all of our banking business. We believe one of our key competitive edges is that our size allows us to offer a full range of competitive products and services typically offered by regional banks while, at the same time, allowing us the ability to establish the closer customer relationships of a community bank. We focus on a decentralized decision making structure which delegates increased authority to the employees located in our 35 retail banking centers. This approach enables us to develop long-term customer relationships, maintain high quality service and respond quickly to customer needs.
Increasing emphasis on fee income. In order to diversify our revenues, we are committed to movement toward greater fee income through enhancement and extension of our financial services. Our mortgage banking business and our wealth management department should contribute to fee income growth through market expansion of our mortgage originations and increased sales of services. In addition, we intend to increase fee income through the growth of our private banking business and our investment center, which provides a wide variety of mutual funds, annuities, stocks, bonds and insurance products. Non-interest income represented 28.8% of total revenues during 2002 compared to 27.3% for the same period last year.
Expansion Strategy
We have been committed to controlled expansion since 1988 by focusing on
strengthening market share in our existing communities and expanding into new
markets, many of them in high growth areas with strong demographics. During
this period, we have expanded our coverage area from one county served by nine
retail banking centers to our current nine counties covered by 35 retail
banking centers. In the process, we have grown from less than $300 million in
assets in 1988 to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2002, specifically through our
1998 acquisitions of two financial institutions, The Trumbull Savings and Loan
Company also headquartered in Warren and Enterprise Bank located in the dynamic
suburban Cleveland market. We acquired Commerce Exchange Bank in 2001 to add to
our presence in the Cuyahoga County/Cleveland market. Also, in 2002, we
acquired Stouffer-Herzog, a leading provider of life, health, property and
casualty insurance products in Ashtabula County, Ohio.
In the future, we intend to explore and consider de novo branching opportunities and potential acquisitions of community banks, thrifts and other financial service businesses. We will focus on acquiring institutions, which are accretive to our earnings per share. Our de novo branching strategy will focus primarily on high growth areas with strong market demographics in which we have the potential to grow market share.
Acquisition of Stouffer-Herzog. During the third quarter 2002, Second Bancorp completed a stock-for-stock acquisition of Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency, Inc. and Stouffer-Herzog Financial Services Agency, Inc., the leading provider of life, health, property and casualty insurance products in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Stouffer-Herzog had total assets of $1.0 million and shareholders equity of $283,000 at the acquisition date. We paid $1.98 million through the issuance of common stock to the shareholders of Stouffer-Herzog for all the outstanding shares of Stouffer-Herzog common stock. Stouffer-Herzog will
7
operate as a Second Bancorp subsidiary and an affiliate of Second National Bank. Stouffer-Herzog provides a proven track record of successful operations with solid management and insurance professionals already in place and performing. Moreover, Stouffer-Herzog has a strong reputation for integrity and community commitment and benefits from long-standing relationships with high quality insurance carriers. As an affiliate of Second National Bank, the capabilities of Stouffer-Herzog will provide direct benefits to Second National clients who will have access to a diverse array of insurance products and financial services at highly competitive prices.
Additional Business Strategies
Wealth Management...An Evolution of Traditional and New Capabilities. An
important evolution is taking place at Second National Bank. Our business line
previously identified as the Trust Department is now known as Wealth
Management.
Why the name change? Because many persons perceive Trust as being limited to planning estates and administering probate.
What exactly is Wealth Management? The mission of Wealth Management is to build and maintain long-term relationships by coordinating trust, private banking and investment expertise to protect, manage, and grow the assets of individual and business clients. Wealth Management is not simply a name change. It is a new way of doing business in response to changing client needs.
Wealth Management integrates traditional trust products and services with the financial specialization capabilities of private banking plus opportunity guidance provided by our Investment Center. Specifically:
Personal Wealth Management services to individual clients of Second National Bank include:
| Comprehensive planning to establish and realize financial goals. | |
| Safeguarding and managing the growth of lifetime assets. | |
| Accommodating the needs of a financially sound retirement. | |
| Distributing assets in strict accordance with the wishes of each client as governed by the trust or will created through careful estate planning. |
Wealth Management services for both small and large business clients of Second National Bank include:
| Beneficial asset management | |
| Investment strategies | |
| Design, implementation and administration of profit sharing, retirement, pension and other employee benefit plans. |
Acting as an agent on behalf of either individual or business clients, Second National Bank Wealth Management is prepared to accept partial or full responsibility for managing investments through proven avenues of opportunity. The goal is to build an investment program utilizing a combination of investment vehicles to achieve agreed upon goals.
Some components of Wealth Management capabilities are designed for executives, business owners, professionals and others whose financial service requirements extend beyond the scope of most bank clients. For those with complex financial needs, our Private Banking Program offers individualized attention, a high level of service and specialized banking instruments.
Successful asset and investment management is possible only with the knowledge that each client has unique needs and objectives. Positive relationships established through Wealth Management will be built and will mature on the basis of superior service and results. A high level of personalized service will ensure that clients have direct access to key decision-making professionals within Second National Banks Wealth Management business line structure.
Community Development Banking Becomes a Line of Business as Community Reinvestment Continues to Make Significant Progress. Second Nationals primary community development strategy is to provide financing for affordable housing. Going forward, we plan to specifically enhance our home ownership and mortgage lending activities in urban markets. To facilitate that objective, Community Development
8
Banking will evolve into a distinct line of business demonstrating a strong and increasing commitment to better serving the credit needs of our communities. During 2003, we will expand our community mortgage originators from one originator to three, housed in Mahoning, Trumbull and Summit Counties. Those originators will specifically originate residential mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income families as well as provide educational programs and financial literacy counseling to potential homebuyers.
Second Nationals commitment to community development efforts through loans, investments and services continued to strengthen during 2002. Providing affordable housing opportunities for our host communities was a priority as indicated by more than $14 million in community development loans. We have also issued financing commitments totaling more than $12 million in community development affordable housing projects slated for 2003.
Among the specific projects funded for our clients during 2002:
| Construction of a 40 unit affordable housing project in Mahoning County. | |

Our commitment to our communities was also reflected in financial support of organizations that provide community services. During 2002 Second National Bank made investments and commitments totaling more than $1.1 million to help create affordable housing, new jobs, and other economic development opportunities in our market areas. Contributions of time and talent have also been a hallmark of Second Nationals community involvement commitment. Bank officers and associates participated in numerous community events including minority business trade fairs, entrepreneurial programs, financial literacy programs, home buyer seminars, Community Days of Caring with United Way, economic opportunity mixers and small business workshops.
Survey Shows Improvements in Second National Service Quality. Extensive surveying of Second National clients was conducted during 2002 to determine if new account service quality, as well as teller service quality, improved from the year 2000 to 2002. A total of 261 client interviews were conducted specific to teller performance and 144 related to personal bankers.
In seven of nine categories profiling personal bankers, clients thought that Second National had improved or maintained its levels of service quality. 11 of 17 questions received a similar positive response when posed to clients regarding service quality performance of tellers.
An impressive 99% of clients interviewed stated that they would recommend a friend to Second National...up from 95% in 2000. 93% of those interviewed said they would recommend us to a friend based on teller service quality.
A New Relationship-Building Program Focuses on Making Things Right. Our first priority for successful client relationship building is: Do it right the first time. Although we are proud of our success rate in properly serving our clientele, it is a fact of life that mistakes will occur. Now, in addition to our commitment to avoiding such mistakes, Second National Bank has introduced the innovative Uh-oh! Better Banking Programsm.
Simply defined, Uh-oh! promises our clients: If we make a mistake, well fix your problem quickly...plus well give you $5 for the inconvenience!
9
Examples of how and when the program might be applicable:
| If a client waits more than 10 minutes in a teller line. | |
| If a client does not receive a thank you after a visit or phone call. | |
| If there is a printing error on a clients checks. | |
| If an error is made on a statement checking, savings or money market account, home equity or personal line of credit, trust, or commercial loan. | |
| If a client who calls the Bank before 3:00 p.m. does not receive a return call that same day. |
Uh-oh! is our way of ensuring that we have made things right in our commitment to build and grow successful long-term client relationships.
The People Making Banking Better® Our commitment to hiring, training and maintaining world-class human resources was underscored by a myriad of effective training opportunities developed and coordinated by the Retail Staff Development Group. In total, 220 training sessions were held in 2002 versus 103 the previous year, encompassing 1,221 participating associates versus 934 during 2001.
The Retail Staff Development area provides education to all Second National banking centers including the Call Center and Private Banking associates. The Consumer Lending Department has also taken advantage of specific sessions, as have several non-retail departments throughout the Bank.
The high quality of individuals at Second National continues to also be evident outside the working place as numerous associates give freely of their time to civic and charitable organizations, events and causes.
Operational Actions Continue to Contribute to Efficiency. Second Nationals Operations Division is charged with the ongoing task of identifying and implementing new technology that is not only of functional value to our organization, but truly provides a balance of effectiveness and efficiency as a means of remaining competitive in a quickly moving business world. Among the many achievements for 2002:
| Implementation of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system through the Banks Intranet module enabling users to identify a more complete profile of a clients total relationship with Second National. That includes CRM data from the Investment Center, Wealth Management, Credit Card and Online Banking. | |

Second Bancorp, Inc. Rates High in Plain Dealer Ranking of Ohio Businesses. Early in 2002, Second Bancorp, Inc. once again achieved prominence in The Plain Dealer 100, an annual ranking of Ohio companies. Second Bancorp ranked 64th among Ohios leading companies.
Market Area
Second Nationals primary market area consists of Trumbull, Ashtabula, Portage,
Jefferson, Mahoning, Summit, Medina, Stark and Cuyahoga counties in the
northeast and east-central portions of Ohio, to the east and south of the
Cleveland metropolitan area. The market areas economy is heavily influenced by
the manufacturing sector with an emphasis on steel, auto manufacturing and a
variety of related and smaller industries. The area has benefited from an
extensive transportation system comprised mainly of railroad and trucking
systems.
Competition
There is significant competition in the financial services industry in
northeast Ohio among commercial banks. As a result of deregulation of the
financial services industry, Second Bancorp also competes with other providers
of financial services such as savings and loan associations, credit unions,
commercial finance companies, brokerage and securities firms, insurance
companies, commercial finance and leasing companies and the mutual fund
industry. Some of Second Bancorps competitors, including certain regional bank
holding companies, which have operations in Second Bancorps market area, have
substantially greater resources than Second Bancorp, and as such, may have
higher lending limits and may offer other services not available through Second
National. Second Bancorp also faces significant competition, particularly with
respect to interest rates paid on deposit accounts, from well-capitalized local
thrift institutions. Second National competes on the basis of rates of interest
charged on loans, the rates of interest paid on funds, the availability of
services and responsiveness to the needs of its customers.
Regulation
Second Bancorp is a one bank financial holding company and is regulated by the
Federal Reserve Bank (the FRB). Second National is a national bank and is
regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), as well
as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC). Dramatic changes
have developed over the past several years regarding minimum capital
requirements for financial institutions. A listing of the minimum requirements
for capital and Second Bancorps capital position as of December 31, 2002 and
2001 are presented in footnote 17 of Item 8; Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Second Bancorp is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the Act). The Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board for a bank holding company to acquire or hold more than a 5% voting interest in any bank, and restricts interstate banking activities. The Act allows interstate bank acquisitions anywhere in the country and interstate branching by acquisition and consolidation in those states that have not opted out by January 1, 1997. Among the states where Second Bancorp may acquire banks are Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The Act restricts non-banking activities to those, which are determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking and a proper incident thereto. The Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies. The Act also regulates transactions between Second Bancorp and Second National and generally prohibits tie-ins between credit and other products and services.
Second National is subject to regulation under the National Banking Act and is periodically examined by the OCC and is subject, as a member bank, to the rules and regulations of the FRB. Second National is an insured institution and member of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and also has approximately $429 million in deposits acquired through acquisitions of savings and loan institutions that are insured through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). As such, Second National is also subject to regulation by the FDIC. Establishment of branches is subject to approval of the OCC and geographic limits established by state law.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLB Act) established a comprehensive
framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies,
securities firms and other financial service providers through the creation of
a financial holding company entity. Bank holding companies that elect to
become financial holding companies have the ability to expand their activities
from those historically permissible for bank holding companies and engage in
activities that are financial in nature or complementary to financial
activities, including securities and insurance activities, sponsoring mutual
funds and investment companies
11
and merchant banking. Financial holding companies are also permitted to acquire, without regulatory approval, a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are deemed financial in nature by the Federal Reserve Board.
In order to become a financial holding company, a bank holding company must file a declaration with the Federal Reserve Bank indicating its desire to become a financial holding company. In addition, all subsidiary banks of the bank holding company must be well capitalized, well managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. Failure to maintain the well-capitalized standard or the other criteria for a financial holding company may result in requirements to correct the deficiency or limit activities to those allowed bank holding companies.
In 2000, Second Bancorp elected to become a financial holding company.
FIRREA
FIRREA restructures the regulation, supervision and deposit insurance of
savings and loan associations and federal savings banks whose deposits were
formerly insured by the Federal Savings and Loans Insurance Corporation
(FSLIC). FSLIC was replaced by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF) administered by the FDIC. A separate fund, the Bank Insurance Fund
(BIF), which was essentially a continuation of the FDICs then existing fund,
was established for banks and state savings banks. An acquired thrift generally
would be required to continue its deposit insurance with the SAIF unless
significant exit and entrance fees were paid in connection with a conversion to
BIF insurance.
FDICIA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA)
substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes. Among other
things, FDICIA requires federal banking agencies to broaden the scope of
regulatory corrective action taken with respect to banks that do not meet
minimum capital requirements and to take such actions promptly in order to
minimize losses to the FDIC. FDICIA established five capital tiers: well
capitalized; adequately capitalized; undercapitalized; significantly
undercapitalized; and critically undercapitalized and imposes significant
restrictions on the operations of a depository institution that is not in
either of the first two of such categories. A depository institutions capital
tier will depend upon the relationship of its capital to various capital
measures. A depository institution will be deemed to be well capitalized if
it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each
relevant capital measure, adequately capitalized if it meets each such
measure, undercapitalized if it is marginally below any such measure,
significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below any such measure
and critically undercapitalized if it fails to meet any critical capital
level set forth in regulations. A depository institution may be deemed to be in
a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital
position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating or is deemed to be
in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices.
Under regulations adopted under these provisions, for a depository institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. For a depository institution to be adequately capitalized, it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 4% (or in some cases 3%). Under the regulations, a depository institution will be deemed to be undercapitalized if the depository institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a Tier I leverage ratio of less than 4% (or in some cases 3%). A depository institution will be deemed to be significantly undercapitalized if the depository institution has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a Tier I leverage ratio that is less than 3% and will be deemed to be critically undercapitalized if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making a capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying management fees to any entity that controls the institution if it thereafter would be undercapitalized. If a depository institution becomes undercapitalized, it will be generally restricted from borrowing from the Federal Reserve, increasing its average total assets, making any acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business. An undercapitalized institution must submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal banking agency, which plan must, in the opinion of such agency, be based on realistic assumptions and be likely to succeed in restoring the
12
depository institutions capital. In connection with the approval of such a plan, the holding company of the depository institution must guarantee that the institution will comply with the plan, subject to a limitation of liability equal to a portion of the depository institutions assets. If an undercapitalized depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement such a plan, it will be treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.
Under FDICIA, bank regulators are directed to require significantly undercapitalized depository institutions, among other things, to restrict business activities, raise capital through a sale of stock, merge with another depository institution and/or take any other action which the agency determines would better carry out the purposes of FDICIA.
Within 90 days after a depository institution is determined to be critically undercapitalized, the appropriate federal banking agency must, in most cases, appoint a receiver or conservator for the institution or take such other action as the agency determines would better achieve the purposes of FDICIA. In general, critically undercapitalized depository institutions will be prohibited from paying principal or interest on their subordinated debt and will be subject to other substantial restrictions.
FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that could affect the operations of Second Bancorp, including new reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, truth in savings provisions, the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch, limitations on credit exposure between banks, restrictions on loans to a banks insiders and guidelines governing regulatory examinations.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual assessment rates for
deposit insurance for members of the BIF and the SAIF. The FDIC may increase
assessment rates for either fund if necessary to restore the funds ratio of
reserves to insured deposits to its target level within a reasonable time and
may decrease such rates if such target level has been met. The FDIC has
established a risk-based assessment system for both BIF and SAIF members. Under
this system, assessments vary based on the risk the institution poses to its
deposit insurance fund. The risk level is determined based on the institutions
capital level and the FDICs level of supervisory concern about the depository
institution.
Based upon its respective level of deposits at December 31, 2002, the projected BIF and SAIF assessments for Second National for 2003 will be approximately $211,000.
Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
IBBEA) authorized interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies
without geographic constraint beginning September 29, 1995. Beginning June 1,
1997, the IBBEA also authorizes banks to merge with banks located in another
state provided that neither state has opted out of interstate branching
between September 29, 1994 and May 31, 1997. After acquiring interstate
branches through a merger, a bank may establish additional branches in that
state at the same locations as any bank involved in the merger could have
established branches under state and federal law. In addition, a bank may
establish a de novo branch in another state that expressly permits the
establishment of such branches. A bank that establishes a de novo interstate
branch may thereafter establish additional branches on the same basis as a bank
that has established interstate branches through a merger transaction.
If a state opts out of interstate branching, no bank from another state may establish a branch in that state, whether through a merger or by a de novo establishment. Pennsylvania, the state in closest proximity to Second National, has opted to permit interstate branching, creating the possibility of branching into that state. To date, Second National has taken no action to branch into Pennsylvania or any other state, however Second National may do so in the future.
Environmental Regulations
Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, have had no material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings

Recent Legislation
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to
increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for
accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to
protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate
disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws. The proposed changes are
intended to allow shareholders to monitor the performance of companies and
directors more easily and efficiently.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Further, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC, securities exchanges and the NASDAQ Stock Market to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General. Given the extensive role in implementing rules relating to many of the Sarbanes-Oxley Acts new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addresses, among other matters: audit committees; certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer; the forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period covered by restated financial statements; a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers (excluding loans by insured depository institutions the are subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal Reserve Act); expedited filing requirements for stock transaction reports by officers and director; the formation of a public accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws.

The Corporation analyzes its performance on a net income basis determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as on a non-GAAP operating basis, referred to in this analysis as non-GAAP operating results or non-GAAP operating earnings. Operating earnings and related discussions are presented as supplementary information in this analysis to enhance the readers understanding of, and highlight trends in, the Corporations core financial results excluding the nonrecurring effects of discrete activities and events. Operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income and earnings per share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Banking center reconfiguration charges, restructuring charges, merger-related costs and cumulative effect of accounting change excluded from net income to derive operating earnings may be significant and may not be comparable to other companies.

affecting financial services.
Results of Operations
Net income for 2002 totaled $18,000 and represents a $920, or a 5.4% increase
over net income for 2001. Net income in 2002 was impacted by a $2,096 expense
for the execution of a banking center reconfiguration strategy. The strategy is
designed to improve the overall growth potential and profitability of the
retail banking center network. Included in the reconfiguration is the sale of
two banking centers in the most remote County, the closure of two facilities,
the consolidation of four facilities into two larger, more accessible
facilities, the relocation of two facilities to larger, more accessible
locations and the de novo opening of a new banking center in a new market. Net
income in 2002 and 2001 were minimally impacted by $134 and $305, respectively
in pre-tax merger costs. The 2002 merger-related costs were related to the
acquisition of Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency, which is the first or
foundation agency acquired in a plan to have a regional insurance entity
throughout the Corporations market area. The 2001 merger-related costs were
associated with the acquisition of Commerce Exchange Corporation (Commerce).
The acquisition of Commerce gives the Corporation further access to the
attractive commercial lending market in the suburban Cleveland market.
Also prominent amongst the factors positively impacting 2002 and 2001 earnings were the higher levels of mortgage banking activities, including the origination and sale of mortgages into the secondary market. Over $920 million and nearly $600 million in mortgage loans were originated in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Nearly $865 and $520 million in residential mortgage loans were sold in 2002 and 2001, respectively, generating $10.5 and $5.4 million in gains during those same periods. Also prominent in 2001 was the magnitude of interest rate changes induced by the Federal Reserve Bank. Despite 11 downward rate movements in 2001, the Corporations net interest margin was able to improve by three basis points over 2000s level and steadily improved during the course of the year. The improvement was due to an increase in commercial loan balances. The continuation of low interest rates throughout 2002 began placing downward pressure on the net interest margin in the second half of the year, however the margin improved by seven basis points over the prior year.
In 2000, a balance sheet restructuring was executed. It was designed to improve balance sheet flexibility and liquidity, reduce the earnings drag caused by the large mortgage loan portfolio and improve the net interest margin. The after-tax impact of the restructuring totaled $9,022. Included in the restructuring was an additional $4.1 million in provision for loan losses. The increased provision resulted from a specific analysis of commercial credits and reflects current managements philosophy of loan analysis. Additionally, $2.8 million in security losses were realized as the Corporation repositioned the security portfolio and improved overall earning performance. An additional $4.4 million in losses were realized on the disposition of $130 million in low yielding, fixed rate mortgage loans. The effect of the sale was to minimally shrink the Corporations balance sheet and reduce exposure to higher cost Federal Home Loan advances. Net income in 2000 was $6,134. Excluding the restructuring charges, net income in 2000 was $15,156.
The Corporations return on average assets (ROA) was 1.03%, 1.09% and 0.39% for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The total shareholders return on average equity (ROE) was 13.42%, 13.93% and 5.35% in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
20
Diluted earnings per share were $1.79, $1.69 and $0.60 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The market value of the Corporations common stock, trading under the NASDAQ symbol of SECD, rebounded from its 2000 lows and increased to $21.61 per share at the end of 2001 and $26.50 at the end of 2002. The stock price at year-end 2002 represents a price of 189% of book value, up significantly from 168% and 124% at the end of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The price/earnings ratio for the stock at year-end 2002 (based on the trailing twelve months earnings) was 14.8X. Dividends declared in 2002 totaled $0.72 per share compared to $0.68 per share the prior year.
Revenue continues to be provided primarily from interest and fees on loans, which totaled $80,593, $86,723 and $91,833 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This represents 62%, 66% and 74% of total revenues for those years. The increase in 2000 was due to the restructuring activities, which resulted in lower non-interest income for the year. Interest income on securities is also a major source of revenue, contributing 20%, 19% and 19% of revenues in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Corporation is making steady improvement in diversifying its revenue source away from net interest income, primarily through strength in mortgage banking and deposit service charge activities. Non-interest income (exclusive of securities gains and losses and restructuring losses) has increased as a percent of net revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income) from 22% and 27% in 2000 and 2001, respectively to 29% in 2002.
On a non-GAAP operating basis, which excludes non-recurring items including merger-related costs in 2002, merger-related costs and cumulative effect of accounting change in 2001 and restructuring activities in 2000, net income was $19,449 in 2002, or 12% greater than the $17,379 earned in 2001. Operating earnings for 2000 were 15,156. Operating performance measures were 1.11%, 1.09% and 0.96% for ROA, while ROE was 14.49%, 13.93% and 13.22% for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The operating efficiency ratio was 58.07% in 2002 versus 58.36% in 2001 and 62.17% in 2000. Operating diluted earnings per share were $1.94, $1.72 and $1.48 for those same periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income improved by 12.5% in 2002 as compared to 2001 and totaled
$56,460. The improvement was generated by a 9.4% increase in average earning
assets and a seven basis point improvement in the net interest margin. While
the margin improved to 3.56% in 2002, the continuation of a low interest rate
environment has placed downward pressure on the net interest margin. The net
interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2002 was 3.38% compared to 3.72% for
the first quarter of the year.
During 2001, the net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis improved to $52,467 in 2001 due both to a slight improvement in the net interest margin and an increase in average earning assets. The net interest margin reached 3.49% in 2001 and improved as the quarters progressed. The rapid succession of rate reductions initiated by the Federal Reserve Bank muted the potential improvement in the net interest margin during 2001 as the Corporation is in a positive interest rate gap position in a one month time frame and in a negative interest rate gap position in a three month time frame. Average earning assets were up only 1% in 2001 to $1,502,164 as average loans declined by $31 million primarily due to the sale of $130 million in real estate loans during the third quarter restructuring in 2000. Significantly impacting both net interest income and net interest margin were steadily increasing interest rates in 2000 resulting from the Federal Reserve Bank monetary tightening and an inverted yield curve environment. The yield on earning assets reached 7.96% in 2000, however, the cost of funds increased to 4.96%, holding the net interest margin to 3.46%.

(1) | The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. |
The rate/volume analysis indicates that, on an FTE basis, the net interest income increase predominantly as a result of increased volume concentrated in both loans and securities, while rate changes had a nominally negative impact. In 2001, the improvement was attributable to improvement in the rate components, especially a decline in the cost of funding.
Provision For Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses totaled $6,159 during 2002, representing .55% of
average loans. This exceeds the net charge-off rate of .47% of average loans in
2002 due to both the increase in the overall level of non-performing loans and
the increase in average loan balances during the year. The allowance for loan
losses represents 1.51% of loans at year-end 2002. The provision for loan
losses totaled $4,718 in 2001 representing .44% of average loans. The provision
was slightly less than net charge-offs, which were .47% of average loans
primarily due to a decrease in outstanding indirect automobile loans, which
tend to have a higher expected loss experience. With the allowance acquired
from Commerce, the allowance for loan losses represents 1.49% of loans at
year-end 2001. The provision for loan losses was $7,129 in 2000. Included in
the third quarter 2000 restructuring activities was an additional $4.1 million
in provision for loan losses which helped increase the reserve for loan losses
to 1.42% of loans at year-end 2000. The increased provision resulted from a
specific analysis of commercial credits and reflects Managements philosophy of
loan analysis based on the current economic environment. Excluding the third
quarter additional provision, the provision would have been a more normalized .27% of loans.
23
Non-Interest Income
The Corporation was well positioned to take advantage of the dramatically lower
market rates in 2002 and 2001. Mortgage loan originations increased
significantly, totally over $920 million and nearly $600 million in 2002 and
2001, respectively. Secondary market activities were also very strong and sales
of residential mortgage loans totaled over $860 million and $520 million during
the past two years. Gains from sale of mortgages realized totaled $10.5 million
and $5.4 million during the same two periods. Gains on the sale of SBA loans
generated an additional $600 and $400 in gains during the same two years.
Mortgage activities were significantly less in 2000 when interest rates were
higher and the Corporation did not have the staff or infrastructure to generate
a high volume of mortgages. The gain on the sale of securities totaled $592 in
2002 and was primarily attributable to shortening the duration of the
securities portfolio. The gain on sale of securities totaled $642 in 2001 and
represented gains realized on sales early in 2001 with the proceeds used to
reinvest in longer-maturity, higher-rate securities. Total 2000 non-interest
income was significantly impacted by the loan and security losses realized
during the third quarter restructuring of $3,711 and $2,808, respectively.
Absent the restructuring activity, non-interest income would have totaled
$14,794.
Service charges on deposit accounts improved significantly in both 2002 and 2001, increasing by 9.8% and 20.3% during the two years. The increase was due to fee changes implemented in 2000 as well as a 5.5% increase in the number of non interest-bearing demand deposit accounts during 2001 and an additional 1.1% increase in 2002. Service charges on deposits totaled $5,823 in 2002, $5,302 in 2001 and $4,406 in 2000. Trust fees were lower in both 2002 and 2001 as the market value of assets declined in both years. Trust fees totaled $2,715 in 2002, $2,870 in 2001 and $3,898 in 2000. Management added several new experienced, sales-focused professionals to the Trust line of business in 2001 and have active plans for expanding wealth management business relationships throughout the Corporations market area.
Included in other operating income were valuation allowance charges for mortgage servicing rights. The valuation allowance charges totaled $2,984 in 2002, $810 in 2001 and $0 in 2000. Also included in other operating income was the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, which totaled $4,704 in 2002, $1,212 in 2001 and $765 in 2000.
Non-Interest Expense
Corporate expenses increased by 18% in 2002 and totaled $49,496. The increase
included certain non-recurring expenses for merger-related activities and the
banking center reconfiguration. Excluding those items, expenses would have
totaled $47,266 and would have represented a 13.5% increase on a pro forma
operating basis. The increase in costs was primarily attributable to an
increase in salary and benefit costs. These cost increased due to a combination
of factors including 1) a full year of expenses related to the Commerce
acquisition and a partial year for the Stouffer-Herzog acquisition, 2) an
increase in mortgage lending staff to facilitate the processing, underwriting,
closing, sale and servicing of the increased volume of loans and 3) an increase
in incentive payouts due to increased production activities. Salaries and
benefits totaled $26,345 in 2002, $21,544 in 2001 and $20,817 in 2000. Expense
control allowed for a 5% decline in costs from 2000 to 2001. On an operating
basis, expenses were essentially flat between the two years. The two categories
that realized increases in 2001, salaries and benefits and net occupancy, were
held to 3% and 2% increases, respectively. Included in the 2000 expenses were
professional service costs incurred to facilitate restructuring and
reengineering activities. Also in 2000, equipment costs increased by 17% due to
an increase in the investment into technology (both hardware and software
designed to make the Corporation more efficient) and its related service
contracts. The amortization of goodwill and other intangibles declined in both
periods presented below due to the accelerated nature of the amortization. The
adoption of SFAS No. 142 resulted in a $158 reduction in amortization expense
for goodwill in 2002, however that reduction was offset by increased core
deposit and customer list intangible amortization resulting from the Commerce
and Stouffer-Herzog acquisitions. The following table details the percentage
change in each non-interest expense category over the past three years:

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $6,230, $5,880 and $176 in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the Corporation was 25.7%, 25.5%
and 2.8% during the same periods. The reduction in the effective tax rate in
2000 was due to the reduced net income due to restructuring activities. The
Corporation utilizes tax-exempt loans and securities as well as bank owned life
insurance and low-income housing tax credits to minimize the impact of taxes on
earnings.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet totaled nearly $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2002. This
represents a 12.8% increase in period end footings. Average assets increased by
9.9% during 2002, led by a 119% increase in average temporary investments, a
15% increase in average securities and a 4% increase in average loans. The
increase in securities and temporary investments was due to a build up in
liquidity for the planned sale of two banking centers with approximately $90
million in deposits. The sale was closed after year-end. Period end deposit
balances increased by 6.4% in 2002, with core deposits, which include both
interest-bearing and non interest-bearing demand deposits and savings accounts,
increasing by 30.7%. The shift in balances towards core funding is a function
of both the low interest rate environment, which tends to create a demand for
these funds in the market as well as the increased internal focus placed on
core deposit generation and retention. One particular product that was
successful in 2002 was a premium priced Your Best Interest MMDA account. The
success of the product allowed savings balances to increase by 46.6% during
2002.
Average assets grew minimally (up .8%) in 2001 after increasing by 5.7% in 2000. The growth rate for 2001 was adversely affected by the bulk sale of $130 million in residential real estate loans in the third quarter of 2000 along with further declines in residential mortgage loans in 2001 due to advancing pre-payments and strong secondary market activities. Additional loan balance reductions occurred in indirect automobile loan balances. Underwriting standards were strengthened during the 2001 and new loan volume and outstanding balances declined as a result. Commercial loan growth reached 20.7% in 2001 and was aided by the acquisition of $93 million in loans from Commerce. In 2001, core deposit balances (both interest-bearing and non interest-bearing demand deposit and savings accounts) experienced strong growth, reflecting Managements focus on improving the net interest margin and reducing reliance on higher cost funding. A re-energized deposit line-up, increased advertising, internal incentives and the Commerce acquisition combined to allow core deposit balances to increase by 18.8% over the course of 2001. Even excluding the Commerce acquisition, core deposits increased by 9.4%. The number of non interest-bearing demand deposit accounts increased by 5.5% (excluding acquired Commerce accounts) in 2001, allowing for a greater potential for increased fee income in future years. Also, a lower interest rate environment typically accompanies deposit movement to more liquid accounts. The improvement in these core deposit balances allowed the Corporation to de-emphasize as planned the higher cost time deposit balances as a source of funding. Time deposits increased by only .6% during 2001, however excluding the time deposits acquired from Commerce, time deposit balances declined by 8.4%. Over the long-term, financial institutions are expecting slower deposit growth rates due to increased competition from non-traditional alternatives, especially mutual funds. However, in the near-term financial institutions have an opportunity for deposit market share improvement due to the low interest rate environment.
Earning Assets
Securities. The securities portfolio of the Corporation is used to provide an
adequate rate of return to the Corporation along with appropriate levels of
liquidity and pledging and as a tool for efficient tax management and interest
rate risk management. The accounting treatment for the securities portfolio is
determined by the Corporations intent regarding particular security holdings.
Purchases in longer maturity ranges that provided yield enhancement-included
purchases of tax-exempt securities, which provide the additional benefit of tax
reduction.
25
The securities portfolio totaled $523,669 as of December 31, 2002 and is classified entirely as available-for-sale. U.S. agency and municipal holding remained relatively unchanged from the prior year-end. Corporate balances declined by over $20 million as holdings in this sector were deemphasized. Mortgage-backed securities increased by over $120 million during 2002 and included $100 million in a leveraging transaction completed just prior to year-end 2002. The leveraging transaction was funded primarily by FHLB advances and will provide an estimated 1.7% net spread to income with nominal interest rate risk. The securities portfolio totaled $417,496 as of December 31, 2001. That balance represents a 9.3% increase over the prior year-end. For 2001, the growth in securities was concentrated in mortgage-backed securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations that helped improve the earnings performance characteristics of the portfolio. The securities portfolio totaled $382,098 as of December 31, 2000.
The average yield on the portfolio is 6.0% as of December 31, 2002, down 70 basis points from the prior year-end. During 2002 and 2001, the Corporation realized gains on security sales of $592 and $642, respectively. During 2000, the Corporation realized $2,399 in net losses on the sale of securities, primarily during the restructuring activities. While rates have continued to remain low throughout the year, the Corporation now has an unrealized gain position for the portfolio of $12.0 million versus $5.4 million the prior year-end. It is anticipated that the Corporation will continue to move to shorten the average duration of the portfolio as rates are at historic lows.
Summary yield and maturity information regarding the available-for-sale securities portfolios on December 31 follows. Yields are calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the marginal federal income tax rate of 35% for 2002.

The Corporation emphasizes on-balance sheet growth in direct consumer and commercial balances. The Corporation emphasizes real estate lending through its branch network, reaching a broad range of customers, as well as through the use of mortgage loan originators and correspondent lender relationships. Generally, the loans sold into the secondary mortgage market make funds available for reuse in mortgage or other lending activities, generate a net gain (including origination fee income) from the sale, limit the interest rate risk caused by holding long-term, fixed-rate loans and build a portfolio of serviced loans which generate fee income for the Corporation. The serviced portfolio of mortgages totaled $1,320 million and $813 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Commercial loans are generated through a calling program targeting medium-sized companies. The Corporation is also generating an increasing volume of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. The Corporation sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans originated. The sales generated $639 and $436 in net revenues, including $185 and $144 in revenues from the value of the servicing retained in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The amount of SBA loans being serviced by the Corporation totaled approximately $16.4 million and $13.1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Corporations commercial loans are granted to customers within the immediate trade area of the Corporation. The mix is diverse, covering a wide range of borrowers. The table below details the stratification of commercial loan balances at the end of 2002:

The allowance for loan losses has increased steadily from 1998 to 2002 as outstanding loan balances increased and the risk characteristics of the portfolios shifted from lower risk residential estate loans to higher risk consumer and commercial loans. The allowance for loan losses was $17,585, or 1.51% of loans as of December 31, 2002. The allowance represents 92% of non- performing loans, which is lower than the coverage of non-performing loans at the end of the previous four years. With over $3 million of the non-performing loans balances as of December 31, 2002 represented by residential real estate loans, the allowance for loan losses, in Managements opinion is adequate to absorb losses inherent with the loan portfolios. Commercial loan charge-offs decreased to .43% of commercial loans, representing a more normalized level of loss experience. The .29% commercial charge-off rate in 2000 represented the
28
low point for these charge-offs for the past five years. Consumer charge-offs increased slightly from 2001 due to increased losses per vehicle due to a soft resell market and an increase in voluntary surrender of vehicles. The underwriting standards include, among other factors, a reduced level of loan advance to vehicle value. The underwriting standards have resulted in a decline in new loan origination and a subsequent decline in the indirect automobile concentration within the consumer loan portfolio. Indirect vehicle loans totaled $127 million at the end of 2002 as compared to $132 million as of December 31, 2001.

The Corporations loan portfolios are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification, limiting exposure to any single industry or customer (see the Loan section above for discussion on the commercial loan portfolios balance stratification and industry concentration). The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on Managements evaluation of the potential losses in the loan portfolio considering, among other relevant factors, repayment status, borrowers ability to repay, collateral and current foreseeable economic conditions. The valuation methodology has been consistently applied since 2000, when current Management applied a more conservative view to the assumptions utilized in determining the specific reserves to be allocated to each credit. These evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), overall quality, analysis of prior and current loss experience and a review of specific problem loans. The allowance reflects expected losses resulting from the analysis of specific credits and historical loss experience for each loan category. The Bank utilizes its internal loan gradings for commercial loans in conjunction with historical loss experience for loans of each grade level and current economic trends as parts of its analysis in determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is calculated using a written, systematic methodology approved by a committee of the Banks Board of Directors. The methodology includes specific allocations for known and potential impaired loans; identified concentrations of credit; unfunded, legally binding commitments to lend; economic trends; collateral value trends; new loan volume, and delinquent and non-accrual loan balances. The Banks trailing eight-quarter net charge-off experience is utilized to determine the appropriate general allocations. The methodology is consistently applied on a monthly basis and a summary report presented for ratification to the Banks Board of Directors.
Non-accrual loans are loans that are no longer accruing interest at the discretion of Management. This occurs when Management determines that the borrower can no longer service the debt, but the loan is adequately secured with collateral or the borrower is able to repay the principal of the loan in the future.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, interest income that would have been earned under the original terms of the loans classified in non-accrual and restructured loans amounted to $1,229 and $398 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. No interest income was realized on these loans for 2002 or 2001, respectively.

Below is a table listing the non-accrual, past due and restructured loans at the end of the last five years. Past due loans are loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest.

Loans 30 to 89 days past due, where the monthly payment is more than 30 days past due but less than 89 days past the payment date, excluding non-accrual and restructured loans included in the table above, amounted to $8,334 or 0.71% of outstanding loans as of December 31, 2002, as compared to $9,740 or 0.87% of loans on December 31, 2001. Loans then current where some concerns existed as to the ability of the borrower to comply with loan repayment terms approximated $43,095 at December 31, 2002 and $62,429 at December 31, 2001. Management closely monitors such loans.
The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount the represents Managements assessment of the estimated probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred at each balance sheet date. All lending activity contains associated risks of loan losses that are a necessary element of business activity. The provision for loan losses for 2002 was $6,159, compared to $4,718 for 2001 and $7,129 in 2000. The changes in the provision for loan losses were attributable to changes in net charge-offs, increasing non-performing loans and the recognition of changes in the current risk factors. In 2000, the Corporation additionally underwent a more stringent review of specific problem loans, which necessitated the addition of $4,100 in additional provision during the third quarter of that year.
Servicing Assets
The valuation of mortgage servicing assets is performed by an independent third
party. The critical factors and assumptions used in the valuation as of
December 31, 2002 were a discount rate of 9.04%, PSA of 380, weighted average
coupon of 6.60%, weighted average servicing fee of .257%, remaining term of 293
months, delinquency of 1.9%, a cost per loan of $45 and other income per loan
of $30.
At December 31, 2002, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of mortgage servicing assets to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions are presented in the table that follows. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage-servicing asset is calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, changes in the prepayment rate estimates could result in changes in the discount rates), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Average deposits increased slightly in 2002 after a slight decrease in 2001. In 2002, increases in average non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposit balances coupled with the increase in MMDA savings accounts offset the decline in time deposit balances. In 2001, loan balance reductions, primarily residential real estate loans allowed the Corporation to reduce balances in higher cost time deposits and be aggressive in pricing down other savings accounts during the period of falling interest rates, resulting in some runoff.

The repurchase agreement program provides a sweep feature on the customers primary business account along with competitive market rates of interest for their excess funds. The success of this product reflects the strong emphasis the Bank places on offering competitive products coupled with personalized service to the small-to mid-size businesses operating in the Banks various markets. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged $136,041 in 2002 with the majority of the average balances representing the retail sweep product.
The Corporation also has available to it unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $20 million. The lines of credit are renewable annually and bear interest at a floating rate based on several indices As of December 31, 2002; the Corporation had utilized $7 million in borrowings under these lines. There were no balances outstanding on the lines at the end of 2001.
The Corporation also has access to federal tax deposits on a daily basis. After being deposited by customers, the tax deposits are held at the Corporation up to a self-imposed limit of $6 million until they are drawn upon by the federal government. The balance of these funds was $3,863 and $5,853 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Bank also is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system and utilizes the various advance programs offered by the FHLB. The funds are drawn from the FHLB for various terms through 2007 and are utilized to provide long-term funding to offset the interest rate risk inherent with holding long-term, fixed-rate mortgages as well as funding for specific leveraging activities. The balances of these advances were $365,844 and $275,152 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Most recently, the Corporation has utilized the issuance of corporation-obligated manditorily redeemable securities of subsidiary trust, more commonly known as trust preferred securities, to raise additional funding. The securities are traded under the symbol SECDP on the NASDAQ National Market System. The Corporation raised $32 million in these securities in 2001, primarily to fund the Commerce acquisition. The securities qualify as Tier I capital for regulatory purposes and also bear interest that is tax deductible to the Corporation.
Capital
The shareholders equity increased to $136,334 at December 31, 2002 from
$128,299 a year earlier. The increase was attributable to retention of earnings
as well as the increase in market values for the available-for-sale securities.
The increase was partially offset by the treasury share repurchase activities.
The impact of the change in unrealized market value adjustment on securities
available-for-sale, net of tax resulted in a net unrealized gain position
within other comprehensive income of $7,838 at December 31, 2002.
In 2001, total shareholders equity increased to $128,299 at December 31, 2001 from $117,197 a year earlier. The increase was attributable to the increase in market values for the available-for-sale securities. The increase offset the treasury share repurchase activities. The impact of the change in unrealized market value adjustment on securities available-for-sale, net of tax resulted in a net unrealized gain position of $3,505 at December 31, 2001.
32
Total shares in treasury were 304,500 as of December 31, 1999. The number of shares authorized for repurchase was increased to 600,000 on April 20, 2000. The 600,000-share repurchase was completed on October 11, 2000. On October 12, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2% of outstanding shares on an annual basis. In 2001, the Corporation repurchased approximately 152,000 shares and the authorization to repurchase up to 2% of outstanding shares was renewed. As of December 31, 2001, there were 883,494 shares in treasury and another 133,756 remaining shares to be repurchased under the current authorization. In 2002, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 500,000 shares for repurchase, supplementing the annual 2% repurchase authorization. During 2002, 395,515 shares had been repurchased bringing the total shares in treasury to 1,279,009 as of December 31, 2002.
The Corporation has consistently had qualifying capital under the risk-based capital requirements in excess of those required to meet the well-capitalized standards. For further details on capital ratios, see Note 17.
The Corporation trades under the symbol SECD on the NASDAQ National Market System. The total market capitalization of the Corporation was approximately $259 million at December 31, 2002. The table below lists the high and low trading prices for the common stock by quarter for the last three years.

The Corporations price for its common stock increased by 23% in 2002 to finish the year at $26.50 with a trading range of $20.50 to $28.39 per share. Steady improvement in the common stock price paralleled the Corporations improved financial performance. Bank stock prices in general were subject to downward pressure in 2000 with the increase in market rates associated with Federal Open Market Committee activities and rebounded in 2002 and 2001 as market rates declined. Book value per common share was $13.91 and $12.90 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Corporation has historically paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis and has periodically paid stock dividends at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The payment and amount of future dividends on the common stock will be determined by the Board of Directors. The payment will depend on, among other things, earnings, financial condition and cash requirements of the Corporation at the time that such payment is considered, and on the ability of the Corporation to receive dividends from the Bank, the amount of which is subject to regulatory limitations. For 2002, 2001 and 2000, the dividend-payout ratio for the Corporation was 39.5%, 39.8% and 106.3%, respectively. The unusually high dividend payout ratios for 2000 were attributable to the impact of restructuring activities.
33
Liquidity
Management of the Corporations liquidity position is necessary to ensure that
funds are available to meet the cash flow needs of depositors and borrowers as
well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation. Funds are available from
a number of sources including maturing securities, payments made on loans, the
acquisition of new deposits, the sale of packaged loans, borrowing from the
FHLB and overnight lines of credit of over $33 million through correspondent
banks. The parent company has three major sources of funding including
dividends from the Bank, $20 million in unsecured lines of credit with
correspondent banks, which are renewable annually, and access to the capital
markets. The net cash provided by operating activities for 2002, 2001 and 2000
were approximately $39 million, $22 million and $16 million, respectively.
Management does not expect future cash flows available from operations to be
materially different from the cash flow experience of the prior three years.
Factors affecting cash flows from investing or financing activities are not
expected to have a significant negative impact and foreseeable future
liquidity. As discussed in Note 17, the Bank is subject to regulation and may
be limited in its ability to pay dividends to the parent company. Accordingly,
consolidated cash flows may not represent cash available to common
shareholders.
Market Risk Management
Market risk is the risk of economic loss from adverse changes in the fair value
of financial instruments due to changes in (a) interest rates, (b) foreign
exchange rates or (c) other factors that relate to market volatility of the
rate, index or price underlying the financial instrument. The Corporations
market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Corporations
Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate
sensitivity position of the Corporation and establishing policies to monitor
and limit the exposure to interest rate risk. Since nearly the Corporations
entire interest rate risk exposure relates to the financial instrument activity
of the Bank, the Banks Board of Directors review the policies and guidelines
established by ALCO.
The primary objective of asset/liability management is to provide an optimum and stable net interest margin, after-tax return on assets and return on equity capital, as well as adequate liquidity and capital. Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of two complementary measures: dynamic gap analysis and earnings simulation models. While each of the measurement techniques has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive tool for measuring the magnitude of interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation.
The dynamic gap analysis measures the amount of repricing risk associated with the balance sheet at a specific point in time. Expected cash flows from fixed rate instruments are defined utilizing contractual maturities and anticipated cash flows through early repayment of loans, early calls and paydowns of securities and early withdrawals of deposits. Variable rate instruments repricing frequencies are categorized according to their earliest repricing opportunity. Core deposits with non-contractual maturities are included in the gap repricing distributions based on historical patterns of pricing behavior.
The earnings simulation model forecasts earnings for a one-year horizon frame under a variety of interest rate scenarios. Management evaluates the impact of the various rate simulations against earnings in a stable interest rate environment. The most recent model projects net income would decrease by 0.1% if interest rates would immediately fall by 125 basis points and increase by 19.0% if interest rates would immediately rise by 200 basis points. At December 31, 2001 the model projected net income would decrease by 4.7% if interest rates would immediately fall by 200 basis points and would increase by 2.0% if interest rates would immediately rise by 200 basis points. The projected changes in net income include the projected changes in net interest income from the table below as well as projected changes in income from gains on sale of mortgage loans and projected adjustments to mortgage servicing assets and associated derivatives. Management believes this asset sensitive position for the one-year time horizon is within acceptable levels of risk tolerance. The earnings simulation model includes assumptions about how the various components of the balance sheet and rate structure are likely to react through time in different interest rate environments. These assumptions are derived from historical analysis and Managements outlook. Also include are estimates and assumptions regarding the impact to earnings from changes in the valuation allowance for servicing assets, gains on sale of mortgage loans and changes in the volume of interest rate floors.
34
The following table shows the projected changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based on a series of interest rate shocks:
Rate Shock Scenario | Net Interest Income | Economic Value of Equity | ||||||
Down 125 |
(6.4 | )% | (20.1 | )% | ||||
Up 200 |
8.9 | % | 10.8 | % | ||||
Board approved limit |
(10 | )% | (30 | )% |
The economic value of equity is a measure used to determine the risk of changes to the value of equity from interest rate changes and incorporates the duration of assets and liabilities as well as their sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Interest rate sensitivity is managed through the use of security portfolio management techniques, the use of fixed rate long-term borrowings from the FHLB, the establishment of rate and term structures for time deposits and loans, the sale of long-term fixed rate mortgages through the secondary mortgage market and interest rate swaps, caps and floors.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Corporation has established various accounting policies, which govern the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in
the preparation of the Companys financial statements. The significant
accounting principles of the Corporation are described in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve
significant judgments and assumptions by Management, which have a material
impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; Management
considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The
judgments and assumptions used by Management are based on historical experience
and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by Management,
actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could
have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the
results of operations of the Corporation.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Corporation believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting
policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in
preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Refer to the section
entitled Asset Quality and the section Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired
Loans within Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, for a detailed
description of the Corporations estimation process and methodology related to
the allowance for loan losses.
Valuation of Mortgage Servicing Assets
The Corporation believes the valuation of mortgage servicing assets is a
critical accounting policy that requires significant estimates in preparation
of its consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes as separate
assets the value of mortgage servicing rights, whether those rights are
acquired through loan origination activities or through purchase activities.
Refer to the section entitled Servicing Assets and the section Mortgage
Servicing Assets within Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies and Note 12,
Servicing Assets, for a detailed description of the Companys process and
methodology.
Pension Expense
The Corporation believes that the actuarial assumptions used to calculate the
Corporations pension expense is a critical accounting policy that utilizes
estimates in its preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The
assumptions utilized include the discount rate and expected return on plan
assets. The Corporation intends to lower the expected return on plan assets to
9.0% in 2003 and the change is expected to increase pension expense by $75.
Total pension expense in 2003 is expected to be $1,125 as compared to $616 in
2002 and $289 in 2001.
FASB 91 Deferral of Fees
The Corporation believes that SFAS No. 91 Deferral of fees is a critical
accounting policy that utilizes estimates in its preparation of its
consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for loan origination
and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination cost by deferring the
net fees, or net costs, and amortizing them as an adjustment of the related
loans yield. Refer to the section entitled Loans within Note 1, Significant
Accounting Policies, for a detailed description of the Companys process and
methodology.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Second Bancorp Incorporated (the Corporation) is a one-bank holding company
with its most significant subsidiary being The Second National Bank of Warren
(the Bank), headquartered in Warren, Ohio, with 35 banking centers operating in
northeast Ohio. In addition to general retail and commercial banking, the Bank
engages in trust and mortgage banking activities and other financially related
businesses. A second operating subsidiary is Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency,
which sells a wide range of property, casualty, life and health insurance
products in northeast Ohio. The Corporation also maintains another subsidiary,
Second Bancorp Capital Trust I, which was established in 2001 to facilitate
raising Tier I eligible capital in the form of corporation-obligated
mandatorily redeemable capital securities of subsidiary trust for the primary
purpose of funding our acquisition of Commerce Exchange Corporation (see Note
3). Additional non-operating subsidiaries include Second National Capital
Corporation and Second National Financial Company, LLC, which were formed in
2002 to facilitate a capital conversion plan for the subsidiary Bank.
The accounting policies followed by the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant accounting policies:
Principles of Consolidation
Significant inter-company balances and transactions between the Corporation and
its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires Management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.
Business Combinations
Business combinations, which have been accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting, require the assets,
liabilities, shareholders equity and operations of the merged entity to
be retroactively combined with the Corporations respective accounts at
recorded value. Prior period financial statements have been restated to
give effect to business combinations accounted for under this method.
Business combinations, which have been accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, include the results of operations of the acquired
business from the date of acquisition. Net assets of the company were
recorded at their estimated fair value as of the date of acquisition.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold and
temporary investments. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for
periods of less than thirty days.
Securities
Debt and equity securities are classified as held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are
measured at amortized or historical cost, whereas securities available-for-sale
and trading are carried at their estimated fair value. Adjustments to fair
value of the securities available-for-sale, in the form of unrealized holding
gains and losses, are excluded from earnings and reported net of tax as a
separate component of shareholders equity. Adjustments to fair value of
securities classified as trading are included in earnings. Management
determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Debt
securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Corporation has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Available-for-sale securities offer Management flexibility to sell securities
to fund liquidity and manage the Corporations interest rate risk.
The amortized cost of the debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, probable call date, or, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization is included in interest income from securities. Interest and dividends are included in interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in net securities gains (losses). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Loans
Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned income
and unamortized deferred costs. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to
operations based upon the principal amount outstanding. Premiums on acquired
loans have been deducted from the related interest income and are amortized
over the remaining useful life of the loans acquired. The accrual of interest
income generally is discontinued when a loan becomes, in Managements opinion,
doubtful of being collectible. When interest accruals are discontinued,
interest credited to income for the current year is reversed and interest
accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
The Corporation accounts for loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs by deferring the net fees, or net costs, and amortizing them as an adjustment of the related loans yield. The Corporation is amortizing these amounts over terms up to the contractual life of the related loans. Net unamortized deferred costs, primarily representing costs of acquiring indirect automobile loans, were $3,643 and $3,683 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Loans Held-for-sale
From time to time, the Corporation will sell loans it originated, primarily
mortgages. The loans are reclassified as held-for-sale and are recorded at the
lower of aggregate cost or market value.
41
Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
Management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Managements
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon an evaluation of
the collectibility of the loans. These evaluations take into consideration such
factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current
economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay (including
the timing of future payments), overall quality, analysis of prior and current
loss experience and a review of specific problem loans. The allowance reflects
expected losses resulting from the analysis of individual loans, developed
through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss
experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on
a regular analysis of all loans and commitments over a specific dollar amount
where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification
level. The historical loan loss component is determined statistically using a
loss migration analysis that examines loss experience and the related internal
grading of loans charged off. The allowance also includes components for
concentrations, loan volume and specific economic conditions of the markets in
which the Corporation operates. The determinations arrived at inherently
involve a high degree of uncertainty and that knowledge of the loans loss
characteristics may be incomplete. Loan losses are charged off against the
allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to
the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on
Managements periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.
Certain loans are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. These standards address the accounting for certain loans when it is probable that amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires Management to make estimates regarding the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that could be susceptible to change. To determine the amount of impaired loans, the Corporation analyzes the expected cash flows of non-accrual loans. To the extent that the expected cash flows are less than the amounts due according to the contractual terms of an individual loan, the loan balance is included as impaired loans. A specific allowance is maintained on impaired loans when the net present value of expected cash flows after considering collateral and other credit enhancements is less than the carrying amount of the loan.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization for premises and equipment,
including costs related to developing or obtaining software for internal use,
is computed generally by the straight-line method over their useful lives.
Original estimated useful lives for premises and equipment range from 3 to 10
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the terms of
the respective leases or the estimated useful lives.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair
value of the net assets acquired. On January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the provisions of
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer ratably amortized into the income statement
over an estimated life but rather is tested at least annually for impairment.
Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical
substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or
other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged
either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset or
liability. Intangible assets resulting from the excess of the purchase
price over net identifiable tangible assets acquired through acquisitions are
specifically identified when determinable. The resulting core deposit and
customer list intangibles are amortized both on an accelerated basis and on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Original estimated useful
lives for the intangibles range from 10 to 18 years.
Mortgage Servicing Assets
The Corporation recognizes as separate assets the value of mortgage servicing
rights, whether those rights are acquired through loan origination
activities or through purchase activities. Mortgage servicing assets are
carried at the lower of initial carrying amount, adjusted for
amortization, or fair estimated value. Management stratifies servicing
assets based on term, pass-through rate and method of acquisition.
Capitalized mortgage servicing assets are amortized on an accelerated
basis over the estimated life of the loans sold. Management evaluates the
recoverability of the mortgage servicing assets in relation to the impact
of actual and anticipated loan portfolio prepayments, foreclosures and
delinquency experience.
Deposits
Discounts and premiums on acquired deposits have been deducted or added
respectively from the related interest expense and are being accreted or
amortized over the remaining useful life of the deposits.
Stock Options At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had two stock-based compensations plans, which are more fully described in Note 21. The Corporation accounts for those plans under recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Corporations employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
42
Non-GAAP information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. Under the fair-value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based upon the value of the award and recognized over the service period. For purposes of the non-GAAP disclosures, the estimated fair value of the option is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. The Corporations non-GAAP information follows:

Derivative Instruments
As part of managing the Corporations interest rate risk, a variety of
financial instruments may, from time to time, be used to hedge fair values and
to alter the cash flow characteristics of certain on-balance sheet instruments.
The derivative financial instruments used primarily consist of interest rate
caps, floors and swaps.
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e. unrealized gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Corporation must designate the hedging instruments, based upon the exposure being hedged, as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge (i.e. hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recorded on the balance sheet with the corresponding entry recognized in other income or other expense. The adjustment to the hedged item is included in the basis of the hedged item, while the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets/other liabilities. Accrual of cash receipts or payments related to the derivative instrument is recorded in interest income or interest expense, depending on the hedged item. Upon termination of a derivative instrument prior to maturity, the aforementioned basis adjustment to the hedged item is amortized/accreted into interest income or interest expense over the remaining life of the hedged item using the effective interest method. Should the hedged item be sold, mature or be extinguished prior to the maturity date of the derivative instrument, the derivative instruments change in fair value subsequent to sale, maturity or extinguishment of the hedged item will be recorded in other income or other expense.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest income or interest expense in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects interest income or interest expense. The remaining gain or loss of the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is ineffectiveness and is recognized in other income/other expense during the period of change. Upon termination of a derivative instrument prior to maturity, the aforementioned adjustment to other comprehensive income is amortized/accreted into interest income or interest expense over the remaining term of the hedge relationship using the effective interest method. Should the hedged item be sold, mature or extinguished prior to the end of the hedge relationship or a forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring, the aforementioned amounts in other comprehensive income are reclassified to interest income or interest expense and the derivative instruments change in fair value from that point forward will be recorded in other income or other expense.
For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in other income or other expense during the period of change.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Corporation utilized derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps, caps and floors) to manage interest rate risk, hedge market values and alter the cash flow characteristics of certain on-balance sheet instruments. The derivative financial instruments were linked with a specific asset or liability or a group of related assets or liabilities and had a high degree of correlation with the associated balance sheet item during the hedge period. Net interest income or expense on derivative contracts used for interest rate risk management is accrued. Deferred amounts are amortized into interest income or expensed over either the remaining original life of the derivative financial instrument or the expected life of the associated asset or liability. Unrealized gains or losses were not recognized on the balance sheet.

Marketing Costs
All marketingrelated costs, including advertising costs are expensed as
incurred. Marketing costs expensed in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $1.4 million,
$1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
Federal Income Taxes
Deferred federal income taxes are provided for differences between tax and
financial statement bases of assets and liabilities at year-end. Deferred
taxes are recognized using the liability method, whereby tax rates are
applied to cumulative temporary differences based on when and how they are
expected to affect the tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for tax rate changes. The statutory rate in effect for a
particular year is used to determine after-tax components of other
comprehensive income included in the statements of changes in
shareholders equity.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Asset Retirement Obligations
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires an entity to record a liability for an
obligation associated with the retirement of an asset at the time the liability
is incurred by capitalizing the cost as part of the carrying value of the
related asset and depreciating it over the remaining useful life of that asset.
The standard is effective for the Corporation beginning January 1, 2003, and
its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporations
results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, was issued
in October 2001 and addresses how to account for
long-lived assets and how to account for long-lived assets that an entity plans
to dispose of either through sale, abandonment, exchange or a distribution to
owners. The new standard supercedes SFAS No. 121, which addressed asset
impairment, and certain provisions of APB Opinion 30 related to reporting the
effects of the disposal of a business segment and requires expected future
operating losses from discontinued operations to be recorded in the period in
which the losses are incurred rather than the measurement date. Under SFAS No.
144, more dispositions may qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the
income statement. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 became effective for the
Corporation January 1, 2002 and do not have a material impact on the
Corporations results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.
13 and Technical Corrections
SFAS No. 145 rescinded SFAS No. 4, 44 and 64 and is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or
loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in
prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in APB 30 for
classification as an extraordinary item should be reclassified. Certain
provisions of SFAS No. 145 related to SFAS No. 13 are effective for
transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of SFAS 145
will be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002.
SFAS 145 did not and is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporations results of operations,
financial position or liquidity.
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities, was issued in June 2002 and replaces Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring). The provisions of SFAS No. 146 address the accounting and
reporting for one-time employee termination benefits, certain contract
termination costs and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities
such as facility closings or consolidations and employee relocations. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.
The Corporation will adopt SFAS No. 146 prospectively as of January 1, 2003.
Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions
SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, was issued in
October 2002. SFAS No. 147 clarified the accounting for intangible assets and
goodwill in conjunction with the acquisition of certain financial institutions.
SFAS No. 147 also amends SFAS No. 144, (see above) to include in its scope
long-term customer relationship intangible assets of financial institutions
such as core deposit intangible assets. The provisions of SFAS No. 147 became
effective October 1, 2002 and did not have a material impact on the
Corporations results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
On December 31, 2002, SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of FASB Statement 123, was
issued. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition to adopting SFAS
No. 123s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
123 and APB Opinion No. 28 Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure
in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entitys
accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported
net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements.
SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and
early application is permitted for the transition provisions. Interim pro forma
disclosures are required for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002.
The Corporation is evaluating whether to transition to SFAS No. 123 fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are reflected in Note 1Significant Accounting PoliciesStock Options.
44
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
On November 25, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN No. 45) which expands on the
accounting guidance of Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and incorporates without
change the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 34, which is being superseded.
FIN No. 45, which is applicable to public and non-public entities, will significantly change current practice in the accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees. Each guarantee meeting the characteristics described in FIN No. 45 is to be recognized and initially measured at fair value, which will be a change from current practice for most entities. In addition, guarantors will be required to make significant new disclosures, even if the likelihood of the guarantor making payments under the guarantee is remote, which represents another change from current general practice.
FIN No. 45s disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, while the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.
The Corporation has included FIN No. 45s required disclosures in Note 24. FIN No. 45 recognition and measurement provisions are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporations results of operations, financial position or liquidity once adopted by the Corporation on January 1, 2003.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN No. 46),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of this
interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable interest
entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling
interests and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a companys
consolidated financial statements. A company that holds variable interests in
an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the companys interest in the
VIE is such that the company will absorb a majority of the VIEs expected loss
and/or receive a majority of the entitys expected residual returns, if they
occur. FIN No. 46 also requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries
and other significant variable interest holders. The provisions of this
interpretation became effective upon issuance. As of December 31, 2002, the
Corporation was not party to any VIEs. The Corporation is currently assessing
the impact, if any, the interpretation will have on results of operation,
financial position, or liquidity, as it applies to other areas within the
Corporation.
3. Mergers, acquisitions and reconfiguration
On October 5, 2001, the Corporation acquired Commerce Exchange Corporation (Commerce), a $111 million asset bank holding company headquartered in Beachwood, Ohio, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141. Goodwill of $13.7 million was recorded in connection with the acquisition. Additionally, a core deposit intangible asset of $3.0 million was recorded and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 109 months. Second Bancorp paid $26.9 million to the shareholders of Commerce for all the outstanding shares of Commerce common stock. Commerces sole subsidiary, Commerce Exchange Bank, was merged into Second National, and its two locations are being operated as Second National banking centers. Merger expenses incurred in 2001 as a result of the Commerce acquisition totaled $305 and consisted primarily of insurance, supplies and personnel-related costs.
Subsequent to the acquisition, goodwill was adjusted upward by $744 due to the specific identification of a deferred tax liability and other acquired assets.
The condensed balance sheet at fair value of Commerce as of the acquisition date was as follows:

In order to finance the acquisition of Commerce, the Corporation sold, through Second Bancorp Capital Trust I (a newly formed subsidiary), $32 million of 9.00% corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities of subsidiary trust (Trust Preferred Securities). The proceeds of the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities were used by the Trust to purchase, from the Company, Subordinated Debentures due December 31, 2031. The Company used the proceeds from the offering of the Subordinated Debentures to fund the $26.9 acquisition cost for Commerce Exchange Corporation. The remaining net proceeds are being used to repay outstanding debt and to fund the Companys continuing repurchase of its common stock. For further information, refer to Note 16.
On September 4, 2002, the Corporation acquired Stouffer-Herzog Insurance Agency (Stouffer-Herzog), an insurance agency located in Ashtabula, Ohio, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141. Goodwill of $1.3 million was recorded in connection with the acquisition. Additionally, a customer list intangible asset of $978 was recorded and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 18 years. Second Bancorp paid $1.98 million through the issuance of common stock to the shareholders of Stouffer-Herzog for all the outstanding shares of Stouffer-Herzog common stock. Merger expenses incurred in 2002 as a result of the Stouffer-Herzog acquisition totaled $134 and consisted primarily of consulting fees.

Net income in 2002 was impacted by a $2,096 expense for the execution of a banking center reconfiguration strategy. The strategy is designed to improve the overall growth potential and profitability of the retail banking center network. The cost recognized in 2002 included the costs to close two facilities, the costs to close four facilities that will be consolidated into two larger, more accessible facilities and the costs to close two facilities, which are being relocated to larger, more accessible locations. The strategy also includes the sale of two remote banking centers which closed in February 2003 and the opening of a new banking center in a new market, projected to occur in 2003.
4. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Bank Accounts
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amounts of those reserve balances for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $1,988 and $1,967, respectively, which represents compensating balances for services provided by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Non-accrual, Past-due and Restructured Loans (Non-performing Loans)
Non-accrual loans are loans that are no longer accruing interest at the
discretion of Management. This occurs when Management determines that the
borrower can no longer service the debt, but the loan is adequately secured
with collateral or the borrower will be able to repay the principal of the loan
in the future. Past-due loans are loans with principal payments more than 90
days past due. Both interest and principal are expected to be repaid.
Restructured loans include loans whose original terms were redesigned to allow
the customer to remain current and repay the loan. Also listed is other real
estate owned which represents real estate acquired through the default of
loans. The Banks practice is to carry other real estate owned at the lower of
cost or fair market value, less estimated costs to sell.

Interest income that would have been earned under the original terms of the loans classified in non-accrual and restructured loans in the above schedule amounted to $1,229 and $398 in 2002 and 2001, respectively. No interest income was realized on these loans for 2002 or 2001, respectively. Loans that were considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 totaled $13,123 and $5,004 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, all of which were included in non-performing assets as of those dates. The average balance of impaired loans was $8,114 in 2002 and $4,888 in 2001. The related allowance allocated to impaired loans for 2002 and 2001 was $3,829 and $2,169, respectively.

8. Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
Most of the Banks business activity is with customers located within the state of Ohio. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank had a concentration in commercial real estate loans totaling approximately $366,623, approximately 67.7% of which were owner-occupied businesses, including restaurants and nursing homes within the Banks market area. Of the $366,623 of commercial real estate loans, $3,674 or 1.00% were on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2002.
9. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires that the Corporation disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The market value of securities, as presented in Note 5, is based primarily upon quoted market prices. For substantially all other financial instruments, the fair values are Managements estimates of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. In accordance with SFAS No. 107, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques in instances where quoted prices are not available. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. As such, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, further, may not be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments. SFAS No. 107 also excludes certain items from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Corporation.
The following table presents the estimates of fair value of financial instruments:

Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Corporations financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
equivalents approximate those assets fair value.
Securities
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted
market prices of comparable instruments.
Loans
Variable-rate loans that reprice frequently are assumed to have a
short-duration period, yielding a fair value that approximates the carrying
value. The fair values for other loans are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation.
Servicing Assets
The fair value of servicing assets was determined via an independent valuation
from a third party. Included in the valuation were assumptions regarding
prepayment speeds, discount rates, servicing costs, delinquency, ancillary
income and foreclosure costs arrived at from third party sources and internal
historical records.
Interest Rate Floor
The fair values disclosed are from quoted market prices determined by the floor
counterparty.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits and interest bearing demand and
savings deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying
amounts for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow
calculation. Variable-rate time deposits that reprice frequently are assumed to
have a short-duration period, yielding a fair value that approximates the
carrying value.
Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and
Other Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair
values.
FHLB Advances
The fair value for the FHLB advances was determined using a discounted cash
flow calculation.
Corporation-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Obligations of Subsidiary Trust
The fair value for the Corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable obligations
of subsidiary trust was based on market prices of comparable instruments.
Interest Rate Swap Liability
The fair value represents the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive
or pay to terminate the contracts, taking into account current interest rates.

The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows, taking into consideration several different variables including discount rate, investor type, product type, interest rate, escrow balances, delinquencies, servicing fees and costs and prepayment speeds. The expected and actual rate of mortgage loan prepayments is the most significant factor affecting the value of mortgage servicing assets. The risk characteristics used to stratify the recognized servicing assets include method of origination and interest rate. The fair value of the servicing assets was $11,967, $8,844 and $5,385 as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Following is an analysis of the aggregate changes in the valuation allowances for mortgage servicing assets for the years ended December 31:

At December 31, 2002, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of mortgage servicing assets to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions are presented in the table that follows. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the mortgage servicing assets is calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, changes in prepayment rate estimates could result in changes in the discount rates), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Amounts capitalized as originated servicing assets were $185, $144, and $191 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Capitalized servicing assets amortized were $157, $108 and $103 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
13. Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Corporation has the availability to borrow $33 million from correspondent banks as overnight federal funds purchased. There were no federal funds purchased at December 31, 2002 or 2001. The Corporation has repurchase agreements with corporate customers and local municipalities. These borrowings have an overnight maturity and are collateralized with U. S. Treasury and government agency securities, including agency-issued mortgage-backed securities with a market value of $161,998 and $107,160 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The securities are held in the Corporations safekeeping account at the Federal Reserve Bank. Although there were no repurchase agreements with approved brokers outstanding at December 31, 2002, the Corporation previously maintained such balances, which were collateralized by U. S. Treasury and government agency securities held by the broker. The following table summarizes certain information relative to these borrowings:

15. Other Borrowed Funds and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The Corporation has a Treasury Note Option Agreement with the Federal Government, which allows the Corporation to hold funds deposited by customers for treasury and tax payments to the Government up to a self-imposed limit of $6,000. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances are primarily collateralized by all shares of FHLB stock and a portion of the Corporations qualified mortgage loan portfolio, and are used to fund mortgage loan originations of the Corporation and as a regular funding source. As of December 31, 2002, the book value of pledged collateral totaled $506 million and consisted of $331 million in residential mortgage loans, $55 million in home equity loans, $35 million in junior lien installment loans and $85 million in various securities. As of December 31, 2001, the book value of pledged collateral was $396 million and consisted of $314 million in residential mortgage loans, $48 million in home equity loans and $34 million in junior lien installment loans.

16. Corporation-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Securities of Subsidiary Trust
The corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (the capital securities) of subsidiary trust hold solely junior subordinated debt securities of the Corporation (the debentures). The capital securities were issued in 2001 by a statutory business trust, Second Bancorp Capital Trust I, of which 100% of the common equity of the trust is owned by the Corporation. The trust was formed with the sole purpose of issuing the capital securities and investing the proceeds from the sale of such capital securities in the debentures. The debentures held by the trust are the sole assets of the trust. Distributions on the capital securities are payable quarterly at a per annum rate of 9%, which is equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures and are recorded as interest expense of the Corporation. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. The Corporation has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully or unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of the guarantees. The debentures qualify as Tier I capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines and are first redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Corporation on December 31, 2006 and mature on December 31, 2031. The amount outstanding, net of offering costs, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, were $30,495 and $30,442, respectively.
The effect of the capital securities will impact several key performance indicators of the Corporations future financial results. Among those ratios impacted will be the net interest margin, which is expected to decline with the addition of the capital trust securities.
17. Shareholders Equity
During 2000, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to 600,000 the number of authorized shares to be repurchased. The repurchase of the 600,000 shares authorized was completed on October 11, 2000. The Board of Directors subsequently authorized the repurchase of up to 2% of shares outstanding annually. During 2000, 79,800 shares had been repurchased bringing the total shares in treasury to 730,200 as of December 31, 2000. During 2001, 153,294 shares had been repurchased bringing the total shares in treasury to 883,494 as of December 31, 2001. In 2002, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 500,000 shares for repurchase, supplementing the annual 2% repurchase authorization. During 2002, 395,515 shares had been repurchased bringing the total shares in treasury to 1,279,009 as of December 31, 2002.
Regulatory Restrictions and Capital Ratios
Dividends are paid by the Corporation from its assets, which are mainly
provided by dividends from the Bank. However, certain restrictions exist
regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the
form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the Comptroller of
the Currency is required to pay dividends in excess of the Banks earnings
retained in the current year plus retained net profits from the preceding two
years. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank had retained earnings of $88,717, of
which none was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends
without prior regulatory approval. Regulatory approval was received in 2002 to
provide a $21 million special dividend that was utilized to facilitate a
capital conversion at the subsidiary Bank level.
51
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporations and the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the banks assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporations and the Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined by the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the Banks category.
The consolidated Corporations and the subsidiary Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table.

20. Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation has a non-contributory, defined-benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on a percentage of the employees average annual earnings multiplied by completed years of continuous service. The Corporations funding policy is to contribute annually an amount between the minimum required and the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The plan assets at December 31, 2002 are invested primarily in common stock, preferred stock, corporate bonds and cash. Included in those investments for the last two-year ends are 16,762 shares of Corporations common stock with a market value of $444 and $362 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Bank also has a supplemental retirement deferred benefit plan for certain employees, which provides benefits in excess of the defined benefit plan.

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for the nonqualified pension plan with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $12,741, $10,465 and $8,343, respectively, as of December 31, 2002, and $9,949, $8,146 and $9,594 respectively as of December 31, 2001. The actual return on plan assets in 2002 represented a 10.3% decline in the fair value of plan assets. The decline is attributable to the reduction in the values of plan equity investments during the year. Management will reduce the expected return on plan assets to 9% for the calculation of the 2003 net periodic pension expense.
The Corporation also maintains two nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain key employees. The plans benefits are unfunded and any payments to the plan participants are made by the Corporation. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets for the nonqualified pension plan with accumulated benefits obligations in excess of plan assets were $960, $856, and $0, respectively, as of December 31, 2002, and $813, $782, and $0, respectively as of December 31, 2001. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, expenses related to these plans were $149, $95 and $62, respectively.
The Bank also sponsors a defined contribution benefit plan covering substantially all eligible employees of the Bank. The Bank voluntarily contributes 75% of the participants contribution to a maximum of 4.5% of the participants compensation. Participants, at their discretion, may invest in several investment funds or a stock fund consisting solely of the Corporations common stock. The Banks contribution is initially limited to the stock fund, however participants may choose to reallocate the investments at any time. Contributions in 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $626, $524 and $442, respectively. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has authorized the issuance of 99,000 shares of the Corporations common stock for use in the Banks defined contribution benefit plan. As of December 31, 2002, none of the shares authorized have been issued.
21. Stock Options and Awards
Stock Options
The Corporation maintains incentive and non-qualified stock option plans that
allow for stock based awards to eligible employees and directors. Through
February 1998, the Corporation issued incentive stock options that were
exercisable in one year after issuance and expire after ten years. The maximum
annual grant was 7,500 shares per employee. The plan was terminated in May 1998
when the non-qualified stock option plan was approved. In 1998, the
non-qualified plan authorized 650,000 shares of common stock to be reserved and
subject to issuance. In April 2002, the plan was amended with shareholder
approval to increase by 450,000 the number of authorized shares. As of December
31, 2002, the non-qualified plan had 477,000 authorized and un-issued shares
remaining. Until January 2001, the maximum annual grant was 10,000 shares per
employee and 1,000 shares per director. The awards currently have no maximum.
The options are also exercisable one year after issuance and expire after ten
years.
The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $5.38, $3.85 and $3.68, respectively. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
2002 | 2001 | 2000 | ||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate |
3.0 | % | 4.0 | % | 5.5 | % | ||||||
Dividend yield |

Volatility factor of expected
market price of Corporations
common stock |
.289 | .302 | .301 | |||||||||
Weighted-average expected life |
6 years | 6 years | 6 years |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which 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 Corporations 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, in Managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Restricted Stock Awards
The restricted stock plan provides for the issuance of up to 50,000 shares of
common stock to key employees. The restriction expires after five years and the
Corporation recognizes expense over the restricted period. Compensation expense
recognized in 2002, 2001 and 2000 totaled $104, $72 and $32, respectively. At
December 31, 2002, there were 22,420 authorized and un-issued shares remaining.

23. Derivative Instruments
The Corporation uses derivative instruments primarily to protect against the risk of adverse price of interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. Derivative instruments represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional amount and underlying as specified in the contract. A notional amount represents the number of units of a specific item, such as currency units. An underlying represents a variable, such as an interest rate or price index. The amount of cash or other asset delivered from one party to the other is determined based on the interaction of the notional amount of the contract with the underlying. Derivatives are also implicit in certain contracts and commitments.
The Corporations primary market risk is interest rate risk. Management periodically uses derivative instruments to protect against the risk of interest rate movements on the value of certain assets and liabilities and on future cash flows. These instruments primarily include interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and floors with indices that relate to the pricing of specific assets and liabilities. The nature and volume of the derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk depend on the level and type of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and the risk management strategies for the current and anticipated rate environment.
On January 1, 2001, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Corporation recorded amounts with establishing the fair values of the derivatives and hedged items on the balance sheet. A pre-tax transition loss of $155, or $101 after tax, was recorded in the income statement net of tax as a cumulative effect of accounting change to establish the fair value hedge relationships. Prior to 2001, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives used for hedging purposes were generally not required to be reported in the financial statements. In order to reduce the earnings volatility that would result from having to recognize in earnings the fair value of certain derivative instruments used to hedge risks associated with financial instruments carried at fair value, SFAS No. 133 provides special hedge accounting provisions. The provisions permit the change in the fair value of the hedged item related to the risk being hedged to be recognized in earnings in the same period and in the same income statement line as the change in fair value of the derivatives in interest income on commercial loans and interest expense on FHLB advances. Note 1 provides further detail on how derivative instruments are accounted for in the financial statements. The Corporation usually designates derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk into SFAS No. 133 hedge relationships with specific assets, liabilities or cash flows being hedged.
56
As with any financial instrument, derivative instruments have inherent risks. Market risk is the adverse effect a change in interest rates, currency or implied volatility has on the value of a financial instrument. The risk is periodically measured as part of the Corporations overall market risk monitoring process, which includes the use of earnings simulation and net present value estimation.
Credit risk is the risk that a counter party to a derivative contract with an unrealized gain fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement. Credit risk is managed by limiting the aggregate amount of net unrealized gains in agreements outstanding and monitoring the size and the maturity structure of the derivative portfolio.
Fair Value Hedges
During 2002, the Corporation utilized pay-fixed interest rate swaps for
commercial loans for changes in interest rates. The swaps have a $3.6 million
notional amount with a $(258) fair market value as of December 31, 2002 with no
net ineffectiveness hedge gain or loss. As of December 31, 2001, the swap had a
fair market value of $(247). Previously, the Corporation utilized interest rate
caps to mitigate the risk of increased borrowing costs associated with
convertible features of certain FHLB advances. The caps were terminated during
2001 with no impact on future years earning and $72 in expense recognized in
2001.
Cash Flow Hedges
During 2001, the Corporation hedged cash flow variability related to floating
rate loans. The Corporation used interest rate floors to mitigate the risk of a
decline in interest receipts on floating rate loans due to a decline in the
Banks prime rate. During 2001, the Corporation recognized $217 in income from
the effectiveness of the floors with an additional $390 to be amortized into
income over the remaining term of the floors, which was generated when the
floors were terminated during 2001.
Other Derivatives
During 2002, the Corporation utilized interest rate floors to mitigate the risk
of changes in the valuation of mortgage servicing assets. At December 31, 2002,
the floors had a fair value of $375 based on a $300 million notional value and
a remaining life of 1.9 years.
24. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Loan Commitments
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Banks
customers; however, there are no long-term, fixed-rate loan commitments that
result in market risk. Standby letters of credit commit the Bank to make
payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur.
They primarily are issued to facilitate customers trade transactions.
Both arrangements have credit risk, essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers, and are subject to the Banks normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory and equipment) is obtained based on Managements credit assessment of the customer.
The Banks maximum obligation to extend credit for loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and standby letters of credit outstanding on December 31 was as follows:

Lease Agreements
The Bank has entered into lease agreements covering its main office, several
branch locations and equipment for various periods through 2014, with options
to renew. Also, the Bank has the option to purchase the main office facility
before two optional periods at the fair market value in existence at that time.
Future minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:
2003 |

Rentals under operating leases and data processing costs amounted to $3,362, $3,214 and $3,020 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Low Income Housing Project
In 1993, the Bank began investing in low-income housing tax credit projects
designed to provide affordable housing for Ohio communities. The Bank has
invested $1,995 to date and is realizing tax credits and tax savings from the
investments. The Bank is committed to invest another $4,005 to the fund over
the next several years.

25. Line of Business Reporting
Management began using line of business reporting on January 1, 2002. Management previously was developing the system and allocation methodology used in the line of business reporting structure. The Corporation operates three major lines of business: Retail, Commercial and Mortgage.
Retail includes deposit gathering, direct and indirect consumer lending along with a minor amount of small business banking services. Commercial includes credit and related financial services to small- to large- sized corporations and businesses. Mortgage includes mortgage banking activities, including the ownership, origination, sale and servicing of mortgages.
The business units are identified by the product or services offered and the channel through which the product or service is delivered. The accounting policies of the individual business units are the same as those for the Corporation.
The reported results reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. Expenses for centrally provided services are allocated based upon estimated usage of those services. The business units assets and liabilities are matched-funded and interest rate risk is centrally managed. Transactions between business units are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in gains or losses that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations.
Parent and other are primarily comprised of the results of the investment funding activities, inter-segment revenue (expense) eliminations and unallocated corporate income and expense. Operating results of the business units are discussed in the Line of Business Results section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Selected financial information by line of business is included in the table below:

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Second Bancorp Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Second Bancorp Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Second Bancorp Incorporated and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Report of Management
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation
of its published financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and the year then
ended. The consolidated financial statements of Second Bancorp Incorporated
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and, as such, include some amounts that are based on
judgments and estimates of Management.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting presented in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States and the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council instructions for Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (call report instructions). The system contains monitoring
mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
Management assessed the Banks internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and call report instructions as of December 31, 2002. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, Management believes The Second National Bank of Warren maintained effective internal control over financial reporting presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and call report instructions as of December 31, 2002.
Compliance With Laws And Regulations
Management is also responsible for compliance with the federal and state laws
and regulations concerning dividend restrictions and federal laws and
regulations concerning loans to insiders designated by the FDIC as safety and
soundness laws and regulations.
Management assessed compliance by The Second National Bank of Warren with the designated laws and regulations relating to safety and soundness. Based on this assessment, Management believes that the Bank complied, in all significant respects, with the designated laws and regulations related to safety and soundness for the year ended December 31, 2002.
