COMMUNITY
CAPITAL BANCSHARES, INC.
Common
Stock
This
is an offering of up to 1,000,000 shares of Community Capital Bancshares, Inc.
common stock. We have engaged the underwriter, FIG Partners, L.L.C., to sell the
shares on a best efforts basis. As part of the offering, the underwriter may
offer and sell the common stock to our officers and directors and other persons
identified by us. Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market under the symbol ALBY. On August 13, 2004, the closing price of
the common stock was $11.00 per share.
Because
the offering is being conducted on a best efforts basis, the underwriter is not
required to sell any minimum number or dollar amount of shares and is not
obligated to purchase the shares if they are not sold to the public. There is no
minimum number of shares that must be sold in order to close the offering.
Investing
in our common stock involves risks, which are described in the Risk
Factors section beginning on page 6 of this prospectus.

We
will pay the underwriter a sales commission equal to 6.25% of the offering price
of the shares it sells in the offering. No commission, however, will be paid on
shares having an aggregate value up to $2,500,000 which are sold to our
directors and officers and other individuals identified by our directors and
officers. Accordingly, the table above reflects a sales commission of 6.25% of
the aggregate offering price for [__________] shares to be sold by the
underwriter.
Upon
the closing of this offering, we have approved the grant of an option to our
president, Robert E. Lee, to purchase a number of shares of our common stock
equal to 5% of the number of shares sold in this offering. The exercise price of
the option will be equal to the closing price of the common stock on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market as of the business day immediately prior to the closing date of
the offering. See ManagementOption Grant Upon Completion of
Offering on page 41.
The

any other governmental agency.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or

investing in the common stock. You should read carefully the entire prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to we, us,

Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc.

Albany, Georgia 31707

Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc. is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Albany, Georgia. We were formed in August 1998 as a Georgia corporation and
currently serve as the holding company and sole shareholder of Albany Bank &
Trust and First Bank of Dothan. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market under the symbol ALBY.
Albany
Bank & Trust is a national bank that began its banking operations on April
28, 1999. Since its opening, Albany Bank & Trust has grown to approximately
$135,916,000 in total assets as of June 30, 2004. During this time Albany Bank
& Trust has expanded its locations by adding branch offices in Lee County,
Georgia, east Albany and downtown Albany. In November 2003, we expanded our
market presence to Dothan, Alabama with our acquisition of First Bank of Dothan,
an Alabama state bank with total assets of approximately $31,415,000 as of June
30, 2004. We believe that the Dothan market presents opportunities similar to
the Albany market and a potential for future growth.
We
strive to provide superior customer service and maintain a friendly
hometown atmosphere for our customers. We believe that these
features are our competitive advantage in our local markets and have contributed
to our growth over the past five years. We provide a broad array of banking
products through our five branch locations, eight ATMs, Internet-based banking
and telephone banking. At June 30, 2004 we had total assets of
$165,888,000, total deposits of $128,273,000 and total shareholders equity
of $13,354,000. Future growth for our company will be dependent upon a
combination of internal growth within our banks and external growth through new
branch expansions to new markets or acquisitions of existing banks in new
markets.
For
the first six months of 2004, we had net income of $405,000 or $0.23 per share.
This compares to the 2003 amount for the same period of $200,000 or $0.14 per
share.
Market
Opportunity
The
primary service areas for Community Capital are Dougherty and Lee counties in
southwest Georgia and Houston County in southeast Alabama. Historically,
Community Capital has primarily focused on the Albany Metropolitan Statistical
Area (MSA), which includes both Dougherty and Lee counties. With the acquisition
of First Bank of Dothan, we have expanded westward into southeastern Alabama,
primarily to the communities located in or near Dothan. Additionally, in
February 2004, Albany Bank & Trust opened a loan production office in
Auburn, Alabama, which is located between Columbus, Georgia and Montgomery,
Alabama on Interstate 85. Upon completion of the offering, First Bank of
Dothan plans, subject to regulatory approval, to construct a branch office in
Auburn, Alabama and further strengthen its presence in southeastern
Alabama. Management believes its expansion into
1
southeastern Alabama will increase
Community Capitals prospects for future growth and diversify its business, making
it is less dependent on one economic area.
Our Strategy
Ultimately,
our success depends on our ability to excel as bankers in our market areas. As a
smaller community banking organization, our banks are unable to compete with
larger banks purely on a pricing basis. We must differentiate ourselves from
them by providing superior customer service. This is accomplished by providing a
warm, friendly atmosphere for customers entering our banks; prompt service to
our customers by our knowledgeable bank staff; and prompt resolution of customer
problems. By gaining our customers acceptance and developing our
reputation as a hometown bank, we hope to gain repeat business as well as
referrals from existing customers. Prompt, friendly service has been a way of
life at Albany Bank & Trust since it opened and will be transferred to the
staff at First Bank of Dothan as they are integrated into Community Capital.

RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in shares of our common stock involves various risks. Before deciding
to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described
below in conjunction with the other information in this prospectus and
information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our
consolidated financial statements and related notes.
If we
do not successfully integrate First Bank of Dothan into our business, we may not
realize the expected benefits from our acquisition.
We
acquired First Bank of Dothan on November 13, 2003. We may encounter unforeseen
expenses as well as difficulties and complications in integrating First Bank of
Dothans operations with our overall operations. We expect to maintain most
of First Bank of Dothans key customers and personnel and integrate First
Bank of Dothans systems and procedures into ours with a minimal amount of
cost and diversion of management time and attention. If we are unable to
integrate First Bank of Dothan in a timely manner or if we experience
disruptions with First Bank of Dothans customer relationships, the
anticipated benefits of the acquisition of First Bank of Dothan may not be
realized and our results of operations may be adversely affected.
We may
face risks with respect to future expansion and acquisitions or mergers.
We
continuously seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those
institutions and may engage in de novo branch expansion, acquisitions or mergers
in the future. We may also consider and enter into new lines of business or
offer new products or services. We also may receive future inquiries and have
discussions with potential acquirors of us. Acquisitions and mergers involve a
number of risks, including:
· |
|
the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential
acquisitions and merger partners; |
· |
|
the estimates and judgments used to evaluate
credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the target institution may not be accurate; |
· |
|
the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local
management and opening new offices, and the time lags between these activities
and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the
expansion; |
· |
|
our ability to finance an acquisition and possible dilution to our existing
shareholders; |
· |
|
the diversion of our managements attention to the negotiation of a
transaction, and the integration of the operations and personnel of the
combining businesses; |
· |
|
entry into new markets where we lack experience; |
· |
|
the
introduction of new products and services into our business; |
· |
|
the incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an
acquisition and possible adverse short-term effects on our results of
operations; and |
· |
|
the risk of loss of key employees and customers. |
We
may incur substantial costs to expand, and we can give no assurance that such
expansion will result in the levels of profits we seek. There can be no
assurance that integration efforts for any future mergers or acquisitions will
be successful. Also, we may issue equity securities, including common stock and
securities convertible into shares of our common stock in connection with future
acquisitions, which could
6
cause ownership
and economic dilution to our current shareholders and to investors purchasing common
stock in this offering. There is no assurance that, following any future merger or
acquisition, our integration efforts will be successful or that our company, after
giving effect to the acquisition, will achieve profits comparable to or better than our
historical experience.
The
trading volume in our common stock has been low and the sale of substantial
amounts of our common stock in the public market could depress the price of our
common stock.
The
trading volume in our common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market has been
relatively low when compared with larger companies listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, the Nasdaq National Market or the stock exchanges. We cannot say with
any certainty that a more active and liquid trading market for our common stock
will develop. Because of this, it may be more difficult for you to sell a
substantial number of shares for the same price at which you could sell a
smaller number of shares.
We
cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock in the
market, or the availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market,
will have on the market price of our common stock. We, therefore, can give no
assurance that sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or
the potential for large amounts of sales in the market, would not cause the
price of our common stock to decline or impair our future ability to raise
capital through sales of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering,
assuming all of the offered shares are sold, we will have approximately
2,703,705 shares of common stock outstanding.
An
economic downturn, especially in southwestern Georgia and southeastern Alabama,
could have an adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio and our
financial performance.
Economic
recession over a prolonged period or other economic problems in Albany, Georgia;
Dothan, Alabama; or in Georgia and Alabama generally could have a material
adverse impact on the quality of our loan portfolio and the demand for our
products and services. For example, a downturn in the local economy could make
it more difficult for borrowers to repay their loans, which could lead to loan
losses. This could in turn reduce our net income and profitability.
Unexpected
changes in interest rates may decrease our net interest income.
If
we are unsuccessful in managing interest rate fluctuations, our net interest
income could decrease materially. Our operations depend substantially on our net
interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on
our interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on our
interest-bearing liabilities. Like most depository institutions, our earnings
and net interest income are affected by changes in market interest rates and
other economic factors beyond our control. For example, as of June 30,
2004, we had a one-year negative gap, meaning that we had more
interest rate-sensitive liabilities than interest rate-sensitive assets maturing
or repricing within one year of that time. This means that our net interest
income is likely to decrease in an increasing interest rate environment unless
we adjust our mix of assets and liabilities to compensate for this effect. If we
were in a positive gap position, meaning we had more
interest-sensitive assets than liabilities, our net interest income would likely
decrease in a decreasing interest rate environment unless we adjusted our mix of
assets and liabilities to compensate for this effect. The measures that we take
to guard against interest rate risk may not be effective in minimizing our
exposure to this risk. As of June 30, 2004, our
cumulative one-year interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio was 71%, which is outside our target range of
80% to 120% in this time horizon. We have a substantial amount of certificates of deposit repricing in the
second half of 2004. While management believes these deposits can be repriced at
current rates for an extended period, our liquidity
may be negatively affected if these deposits reprice at higher rates than
anticipated. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of OperationsAsset/Liability Management, page
26.
We may
lose principal and interest due to us because of our borrowers failure to
perform according to the terms of their loan agreements.
7
One
of the greatest risks facing lenders generally is credit risk; that is, the risk
of losing principal and interest due to a borrowers failure to perform
according to the terms of a loan agreement. Because many of the loans made by
our subsidiary banks are secured by real estate, any conditions adversely
affecting the real estate market in our primary market areas could have a
significant adverse effect on the level of our nonperforming loans and/or the
value of the collateral securing a substantial portion of our loans.
Our
allowance for loan losses could become inadequate.
We
maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate for absorbing
any potential losses in our loan portfolio. Our management determines the amount
of the allowance for loan losses based on general market conditions, credit
quality of the loan portfolio, and performance of our customers relative to
their financial obligations with us. Although we believe our allowance for loan
losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in our loan portfolio, we cannot
predict such losses or that our allowance will continue to be adequate in the
future. Excessive loan losses could have a material adverse effect on our
financial performance.
Industry
competition may have an adverse effect on our profitability.
Competition
in the banking and financial services industry is intense, and our profitability
depends upon our continued ability to compete in our market areas. We compete
with national, regional and community banks; savings and loan associations;
credit unions; finance companies; mutual funds; insurance companies; and
brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. In
addition, because the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits banks, securities firms and
insurance companies to affiliate, a number of larger financial institutions and
other corporations offering a wider variety of financial services than we
currently offer could enter and aggressively compete in the markets we currently
serve. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources, lending
limits and operating histories than we do and may offer services that we do not
or cannot provide. See BusinessCompetition, page 33.
Departures
of our key personnel may impair our operations.
We
are a customer-focused and relationship-driven organization. Our growth and
success have been in large part driven by the personal customer relationships
maintained by our senior management team. Each member of our senior management
team is important to our success, and the unexpected loss of any of these
persons could impair our day-to-day operations as well as our strategic
direction. Our senior management team includes:
· |
|
Charles M. Jones, III, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Community Capital and Albany Bank & Trust; |
· |
|
Robert E. Lee, President of
Community Capital and Albany Bank & Trust; |
· |
|
David C. Guillebeau, Executive
Vice President and Senior Lending Officer of Albany Bank & Trust; and |
· |
|
David J. Baranko, Chief Financial Officer of Community Capital and
Albany Bank & Trust. |
Although
we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Lee and Guillebeau, we cannot
assure you of their continued service. See Management, page 39.
Our
ability to pay dividends is restricted by federal policies and regulations, and
we may not pay dividends in the future.
Federal
Reserve Board policy, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the
OCC) regulations and the Alabama State Banking Department
regulations restrict our ability to pay dividends, and we cannot assure you that
we will pay dividends on our common stock in the future. Federal Reserve Board
policy states that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common
stock only out of net income available over the past year and only if
prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organizations
expected
8
future needs
and financial condition. The policy provides that a bank holding company should not
maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines its ability to serve as a source of
strength to its banking subsidiaries. Although we have paid dividends in the past, we
can make no assurance that we will be able to continue to pay dividends in the future.
Our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock depends upon our earnings
and financial condition, our liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic
and regulatory climate, and other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Our
principal source of funds to pay dividends is cash dividends that we receive
from our subsidiaries, Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan. Under
the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 9, 2003, First Bank of
Dothan may not pay any cash dividends without the prior written consent of the
FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department. In the absence of the Memorandum
of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan may not declare or pay a dividend in
excess of 90% of its net earnings until its surplus is equal to 20% of its
capital. First Bank of Dothan is also required by state law to obtain prior
approval of the Alabama State Banking Department for payments of dividends if
the total of all dividends in any year will exceed (1) the total of First Bank
of Dothans net earnings for that year, plus (2) First Bank of
Dothans retained net earnings for the preceding two years, less any
required transfers to surplus. Albany Bank & Trust is required by federal
law to obtain prior approval of the OCC for payments of dividends if the total
of all dividends declared by its Board of Directors in any year will exceed
(1) the total of Albany Bank & Trusts net profits for that year,
plus (2) Albany Bank & Trusts retained net profits of the
preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. See
Supervision and RegulationPayment of Dividends, page 60, and
BusinessLending ServicesMemorandum of Understanding,
page 36.
Our
executive officers and directors own a significant portion of our outstanding
common stock and may be able to control the outcome of corporate actions that
require shareholder approval.
Our
directors and executive officers may purchase up to approximately
200,000 shares of common stock in this offering. After this offering, and
taking into account their purchase of up to 200,000 shares in the offering, our
directors and executive officers are expected to beneficially own or control
approximately 1,073,184 shares, including shares subject to exercisable warrants
and options, representing approximately 34.7% of our outstanding common stock.
As a result, our directors and executive officers could exercise significant
control over matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of
directors or a change in control of our company. See Principal
Shareholders and Stock Ownership of Management, page 37.
The
exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the stock option to be
granted to our president upon completion of this offering may result in dilution
of your ownership interest in Community Capital.
As
of June 30, 2004, we had outstanding stock options to purchase a total of
242,935 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.94
per share and warrants to purchase a total of 266,135 shares of our common stock
at $7.00 per share. All of these stock options and warrants are held by our
directors, officers and employees. Additionally, upon the closing of this
offering, we have approved the grant of a stock option to our president, Robert
E. Lee, to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5% of the
shares sold in this offering. The exercise price of the option will be the
closing price of the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as of the
business day immediately prior to the closing date of the offering. The option
will become exercisable in 20% annual increments beginning on the first
anniversary of the closing date and will remain exercisable for the ten-year
period following the closing date or for 90 days after the option holder ceases
to be employed by Community Capital, whichever is shorter.
As
a result, upon completion of this offering, up to approximately 559,070 shares
of our common stock will be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock
options and warrants, which represents approximately 20.7% of the shares to be
outstanding after the offering, assuming all of the shares offered are sold. The
issuance of these shares will result in dilution of your ownership interest in
Community Capital.
9
Additionally,
the exercise of the stock options and warrants could adversely affect the terms on which
we can obtain additional capital; for instance, the holders of the stock options and
warrants could exercise the stock options or warrants when we could obtain capital by
offering additional securities on terms more favorable to us than those provided for by
the stock options and warrants. The directors, officers and employees that hold the
outstanding stock options and warrants will have the opportunity to profit from any rise
in the market value of our common stock or any increase in our net worth.
Government
regulation may have an adverse effect on our profitability and growth.
Bank
holding companies and banks are subject to extensive state and federal
government supervision and regulation. First Bank of Dothan, which we acquired
in November 2003, is also subject to a Memorandum of Understanding, dated
January 9, 2003, which primarily places limitations on First Bank of
Dothans lending practices, dividends and capital leverage ratios. Changes
in state and federal banking laws and regulations or in federal monetary
policies could adversely affect our ability to maintain profitability and
continue to grow. For example, new legislation or regulation could limit the
manner in which we may conduct our business, including our ability to obtain
financing, attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory interest
spreads. Many of these regulations are intended to protect depositors, the
public and the FDIC, not shareholders. In addition, the burden imposed by
federal and state regulations may place us at a competitive disadvantage
compared to competitors who are less regulated. The laws, regulations,
interpretations and enforcement policies that apply to us have been subject to
significant, and sometimes retroactively applied, changes in recent years and
may change significantly in the future. Future legislation or government policy
may also adversely affect the banking industry or our operations. See
Supervision and Regulation, page 54.
If we
raise additional capital by issuing more shares of common stock, your ownership
interest in Community Capital may be diluted.
The
issuance of additional shares of common stock could dilute your ownership
interest in Community Capital. Our Board of Directors may elect to raise
additional capital by issuing additional shares of common stock or other
securities. We may issue additional securities at prices or on terms less
favorable than or equal to the public offering price and the other terms of this
offering.
We
have broad discretion in using the net proceeds of this offering. Our failure to
effectively use these proceeds could adversely affect our ability to earn
profits.
We
intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to pay off $1.75 million in
existing debt, to provide additional capital to our subsidiaries to support
asset growth, for future bank or branch acquisitions and for other general
corporate purposes. In particular, we intend to provide an additional
$5 million in capital to First Bank of Dothan. First Bank of Dothan intends
to use approximately $1,000,000 of the additional capital to construct a new
branch office in Auburn, Alabama. First Bank of Dothan plans to use the
remaining additional capital to support asset growth generally. In the event we
do not sell all of the shares offered, we intend to use the net proceeds first
to provide up to $5 million in additional capital to First Bank of Dothan and
then to pay off all, or part of, our existing $1.75 million debt. Otherwise, we
have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds to specific purposes and
will have significant flexibility in determining our application of the net
proceeds. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could reduce our ability
to earn profits.

We
plan to use the net proceeds from the offering to:
· |
|
pay off $1.75 million in existing debt; |
· |
|
provide additional capital to our subsidiary banks to support asset growth; |
· |
|
fund future bank or branch acquisitions; and |
· |
|
support other general corporate purposes. |
In
particular, we intend to provide an additional $5 million in capital to First
Bank of Dothan. First Bank of Dothan intends to use approximately $1,000,000 of
the additional capital to construct a new branch office in Auburn, Alabama.
First Bank of Dothan plans to use the remaining additional capital to support
asset growth generally. In the event we do not sell all of the shares offered,
we intend to use the net proceeds first to provide up to $5 million in
additional capital to First Bank of Dothan and then to pay off all, or part of,
our existing $1.75 million debt. Otherwise, we have not established any
priorities for use of the net proceeds from the offering.
Our
existing $1.75 million debt consists of a line of credit with Nexity Bank,
Birmingham, Alabama. The line of credit matures on November 14, 2016 and bears
interest at a rate equal to prime less 0.50% per annum. We obtained and drew
$1.75 million on the line of credit in January 2004 in order to fund the
acquisition of First Bank of Dothan.

PRICE
RANGE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Our
common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol
ALBY. On August 13, 2004, the last reported sales price of our common
stock reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market was $11.00 per share. As of that
date, there were approximately 169 holders of record of our common stock.
The
following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock on
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the calendar quarters indicated. Stock price data
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail
markup or markdown or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual

We
intend to continue paying cash dividends, but make no assurances that we will
pay any dividends. The amount and frequency of cash dividends, if any, will be
determined by our Board of Directors after consideration of various factors,
which may include the following:
|
· |
|
Our financial condition |
|
· |
|
Regulatory limitations |
|
|
· |
|
Our results of operations | |
· | |
Tax considerations | |
|
· | |
Investment opportunities available to us | |
· | |
The amount of net proceeds retained by us | |
|
· | |
Capital requirements | |
· | |
General economic conditions | |
Our
ability to pay dividends depends upon the ability of our subsidiaries to pay
dividends to us and our borrowing capacity. Because our subsidiary banks are
subject to various banking laws and regulations, the ability of these
subsidiaries to pay dividends may be limited or otherwise restricted. Under the
terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 9, 2003, First Bank of
Dothan may not pay any cash dividends without the prior written consent of the
FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department. Absent the Memorandum of
Understanding, First Bank of Dothan may not declare or pay a dividend in excess
of 90% of its net earnings until First Bank of Dothans surplus is equal to
20% of its capital. First Bank of Dothan is also required by state law to obtain
prior approval of the Alabama State Banking Department for payments of dividends
if the total of all dividends in any year will exceed (1) the total of First
Bank of Dothans net earnings for that year, plus (2) First Bank of
Dothans retained net earnings for the preceding two years, less any
required transfers to surplus. Albany Bank & Trust is required by federal
law to obtain prior approval of the OCC for payments of dividends if the total
of all dividends declared by our Board of Directors in any year will exceed
(1) the
14
total of Albany
Bank & Trusts net profits for that year, plus (2) Albany Bank & Trusts
retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus.
See Supervision and RegulationPayment of Dividends, page 60, and
BusinessLending ServicesMemorandum of Understanding, page 36.
In
addition, under Federal Reserve policy, we are required to maintain adequate
regulatory capital and are expected to act as a source of financial strength to
our financial institution subsidiaries and to commit resources to support these
subsidiaries in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. This policy
could have the effect of reducing the amount of dividends we are allowed to
declare. See Supervision and RegulationCommunity
CapitalSupport of Subsidiary Institutions, page 56.
Our
ability to pay cash dividends is further subject to our continued payment of
interest that we owe on our junior subordinated debentures. As of June 30,
2004, we had approximately $4.1 million of junior subordinated debentures
outstanding. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the junior
subordinated debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters. If
we defer, or fail to make, interest payments on the junior subordinated
debentures, or if we fail to comply with certain covenants under our loan
agreements, we will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from paying
cash dividends on our common stock until we pay all deferred interest and resume
interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures and until we comply with
the covenants under our loan agreements.
At
June 30, 2004, under applicable regulations, the amount available to be paid as
dividends by Albany Bank & Trust without prior regulatory approval was
$2,073,000.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following is a discussion of the financial condition of Community Capital
Bancshares, Inc. (Community Capital) and its bank subsidiaries,
Albany Bank & Trust, N.A. and First Bank of Dothan, Inc., at June 30, 2004
and 2003 and December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations for
the periods then ended. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on
information about Community Capitals financial condition and results of
operations which are not otherwise apparent from the audited consolidated
financial statements. Reference should be made to those statements and the other
financial information presented elsewhere in this prospectus for an
understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
Overview
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $405,000 as compared to
$200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net income before taxes
increased $295,000 to $597,000. Community Capital recorded provisions for income
taxes of $192,000, or 32% of net income before taxes, in the six months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to $102,000, or 34% of net income before taxes for the
six months ended June 30, 2003. Basic earnings per share for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 were $0.23 compared to $0.14 for the six months
ended June 30, 2003. Total assets increased during the six months ended June
30, 2004 by $7,159,000, or 4.5%.
Net
income for 2003 was $650,000 as compared to the prior year amount of $567,000,
representing an increase in net income of $83,000. Net income before taxes
increased $84,000 to $938,000. Community Capital recorded provisions for income
taxes of $289,000, or 31% of net income before taxes, in 2003 compared to
$287,000, or 34% of net income before taxes, in 2002. Basic earnings per share
increased in 2003 to $0.44 from the 2002 amount of $0.39. Total assets increased
during the year by $49,500,000, or 45%. The acquisition of First Bank of Dothan
accounted for $29,900,000, or 60%, of the total increase in assets.
Financial
Condition at June 30, 2004
As
of June 30, 2004 Community Capitals total assets were $165,888,000
representing an increase of $7,159,000, or 4.51%, from December 31, 2003.
Earning assets consist of federal funds sold, investment securities and loans.
These assets provide the majority of Community Capitals earnings. The mix
of earning assets (87% of total assets as of June 30, 2004) is a reflection of managements philosophy regarding
earnings versus risk.
Federal
funds sold represent an overnight investment of funds and can be converted
immediately to cash. At June 30, 2004, federal funds sold were $1,326,000. At
December 31, 2003, Community Capital had federal funds sold of $2,684,000.
Investment
securities consist of U.S. Government and Agency securities and municipal bonds.
These investments are used to provide fixed maturities and as collateral for
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and large public fund deposits. During
the first six months of 2004, investment securities decreased $1,436,000 due to
maturities and sales of securities. All securities are classified as available
for sale, and are carried at current market values.
16
The
loan portfolio is the largest earning asset and is the primary source of
earnings for Community Capital. At June 30, 2004 net loans were $112,202,000.
The loan portfolio increased $4,731,000, or 4.40%, during the first six months of 2004. At
June 30, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $1,809,000, or 1.59% of total
loans. Management believes this is an adequate but not excessive amount based
upon the composition of the current loan portfolio and current economic
conditions. The relationship of the allowance to total loans will vary over time
based upon managements evaluation of the loan portfolio. Management
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a monthly basis and adjusts it
accordingly by a monthly charge to earnings using the provision for loan losses.
During the first six months of 2004, the provision for potential loan losses was
$15,000 as compared to $215,000 for the same period in 2003. The lower
provision for the current year is the result of a higher quality loan portfolio
which does not require as much addition to the allowance as new loans are added
to the portfolio.
In
March 2003, Community Capital formed a wholly owned Connecticut statutory trust,
Community Capital Statutory Trust I, which issued $4 million aggregate principal
amount of trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities represent
guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Community Capitals junior
subordinated deferrable interest debentures that qualify as Tier 1 capital
subject to the limitations under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. Community
Capital owns the entire $124,000 aggregate principal amount of the common
securities of the Trust. The proceeds from the issuance of the common securities
and the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase $4.1
million of junior subordinated debentures of Community Capital, which pay
interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 315 basis
points. The proceeds received by Community Capital from the sale of the junior
subordinated debentures were used to provide additional paid in capital to
Albany Bank & Trust, to support its future growth.
Non-earning
assets consist of premises and equipment, and other assets. Premises and
equipment increased during the first six months of 2004 as a result of the construction costs for
the downtown Albany branch of Albany Bank & Trust. Other assets consist
primarily of bank-owned life insurance, which increased $4,529,000 during the second quarter
of 2004 as a result of the purchase of bank-owned life insurance.
Community
Capital funds its assets primarily through deposits from customers.
Additionally, it will borrow funds from other sources to provide longer term
fixed rate funding for its assets. Community Capital must pay interest on the
majority of these funds and attempts to price these funds competitively in the
market place but at a level that it can safely reinvest the funds profitably. At
June 30, 2004, total deposits were $128,273,000 as compared to the year-end
amount of $123,223,000. This is an increase of $5,050,000, or 4.10%. During
the first six months of 2004, Community Capital increased its overall deposits to
fund future growth using the relatively low rate environment.

Results of
Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $405,000 as compared to $200,000 for
the same period in 2003. Although net interest income increased by $1,012,000 or 48% in
2004 as compared to the first six months of 2003, non-interest expense increased
$1,051,000 or 51% in 2004 as compared to the first six months of 2003.
Total
interest income increased $1,125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 or 33.01%
from the same period in the previous year. This was the result of increased interest
income on loans, which increased $845,000, and investment income, which increased
$281,000 over the same period in the previous year. The increase in interest income was
the direct result of the larger loan portfolio in the current year combined with having
the Dothan Banks loans added to the portfolio in November 2003. In addition, a
larger investment portfolio over the same period last year contributed to the increase
in interest income.
Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1,432,000. This is the major expense
item for Community Capital and increased $115,000 from the previous year. This increase is the
direct result of the addition of the Dothan Bank.
Net
interest income after the provision for loan losses was $3,087,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the 2003 amount of $1,876,000. This is an increase of
$1,211,000 or 64.55%. This increase is the combined result of the increased level of
earning assets and the lower cost of funds during the current year. Also, the addition
of the Dothan Bank attributed to the growth rate.
Other
income increased $135,000 to $614,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared
to the same period in 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $176,000 or
72% due to the larger number of deposit accounts and increases in fees charged to
customers. Mortgage origination fees decreased $60,000 as compared to the same period in
the previous year. These fees are generated by facilitating mortgage loans for
customers, which are sold in the secondary market. The decrease in volumes and higher
interest rate levels led to decreases in this area of activity.
Non-interest
expense increased $1,051,000 to $3,104,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as
compared to the same period in 2003. This is an increase of 51.19%. The largest area of
increase was in the salary and employee benefits category. This expense item was
$1,529,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $975,000 for the same
period in the previous year. This is an increase of $554,000 or 56.82%. The growth in
this expense item is due to the increased staffing required to properly serve our
customers as well as the addition of Dothan Bank and slightly higher levels of pay
during the current year.
Equipment
and Occupancy expenses increased $158,000 or 53.57% for the six months ended June 30,
2004 from the same period in 2003. The increase is due to the expansion of the Albany
Bank and the addition of Dothan Bank. Other expenses increased $97,000 to $338,000 in
the current year. The majority of this increase is the result of the addition of the
Dothan Bank.
Diluted
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $0.21 and increased $0.09
or 75% as compared to the first six months of the previous year.

As
of December 31, 2003, Community Capital had total assets of $158.7 million, an
increase of $49.5 million from the previous year end. Increased deposits of
$37.2 million, FHLB borrowings of $5.1 million and guaranteed interests in
subordinated debt of $4.0 million funded the majority of the increase in total
assets. The primary use of these funds was to fund loan growth. Net loans
increased $26.6 million during the year to $107.5 million. The First Bank of
Dothan acquisition accounted for $17.2 million, or 65%, of the total
increase in loans. Community Capital expects to continue its growth in 2004, but
not at the same percentage increase.
As
of December 31, 2002, Community Capital had total assets of $109.2 million.
Total assets increased $20.5 million during the year 2002. The primary increase
in assets during this year was in the loan portfolio, which increased $19.7
million to $80.9 million. The increase in assets was funded by increased
deposits of $16.1 million and increased FHLB borrowings of $1.6 million.
Community
Capitals investment portfolio, consisting primarily of Federal Agency
bonds and mortgage-backed securities, amounted to $32.9 million at December 31,
2003. This compares to the December 31, 2002 amount of $16.9 million. First Bank
of Dothan accounted for $4.5 million, or 28%, of the total increase of $16.0
million in securities in 2003. All securities are classified as available for
sale and carried at current market values except for restricted equity
securities, which are carried at cost. During 2002, Community Capital began
investing in more mortgage-backed securities as opposed to single-payment
investments. Mortgage-backed securities are providing relatively higher returns
and are also generating monthly cash flow which would be available for
investment at higher rates when interest rates begin to increase.
Community
Capital has 66% of its loan portfolio collateralized by real estate located in
its primary market area of Dougherty County and surrounding counties in Georgia
and Houston County and surrounding counties in Alabama. Community Capitals
real estate mortgage and construction portfolio consists of loans collateralized
by one- to four-family residential properties (37%), construction loans to build
one- to four-family residential properties, (12%) and nonresidential and
multi-family properties
19
consisting
primarily of small business commercial, agricultural and rental properties (17%).
Community Capital generally requires that loans collateralized by real estate not exceed
the collateral values by the following percentages for each type of real estate loan
listed:
|
One- to four-family residential properties |
|
90 |
% |
|
Construction loans on one- to four-family residential properties | |
85 |
% |
|
Nonresidential and multi-family properties | |
85 |
% |
Community
Capitals remaining 34% of its loan portfolio consists of commercial,
consumer, and other loans. Community Capital requires collateral commensurate
with the repayment ability and creditworthiness of the borrower.
The
specific economic and credit risks associated with Community Capitals loan
portfolio, especially the real estate portfolio, include but are not limited to
a general downturn in the economy which could affect unemployment rates in
Community Capitals market area, general real estate market deterioration,
interest rate fluctuations, deteriorated or non-existing collateral, title
defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of borrowers, fraud, and
any violation of banking protection laws. Construction lending can also present
other specific risks to the lender such as whether developers can find builders
to buy lots for home construction, whether the builders can obtain financing for
the construction, whether the builders can sell the home to a buyer, and whether
the buyer can obtain permanent financing. Currently, management believes that
real estate values and employment trends in Community Capitals market area
are stable with no indications of a significant downturn in the general economy.
Community
Capital attempts to reduce these economic and credit risks not only by adherence
to loan-to-value guidelines, but also by investigating the creditworthiness of
the borrower and monitoring the borrowers financial position. Also,
Community Capital establishes and periodically reviews its lending policies and
procedures. Banking regulations limit exposure by prohibiting loan relationships
that exceed 15% of a banks statutory capital in the case of loans which
are not fully secured by readily marketable or other permissible types of
collateral.

Net
income for the year 2003 was $650,000 as compared to the prior year amount of
$567,000, representing an increase of $83,000. The acquisition of First Bank of
Dothan accounted for $57,000 of this increase.
Net
income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $567,000 as compared to $651,000
for the prior year, representing a decrease of $84,000 in net income for 2002.
In 2001, Community Capital recorded an income tax benefit of $46,000 from the
carryforward of net operating losses from prior years. The net operating losses
were completely utilized in 2001, and Community Capital recorded an income tax
expense of $287,000 in 2002, representing an increase of $333,000 in income tax
expense for 2002. In 2002, Community Capital reported pretax income of $854,000
compared to pretax income of $605,000 in 2001, representing an increase of
$249,000 in pretax income for 2002.
Net
Interest Income. Community Capitals results of operations are determined
by its ability to effectively manage interest income and expense, to minimize
loan and investment losses, to generate noninterest income, and to control
operating expenses. Since interest rates are determined by market forces and
economic conditions beyond the control of Community Capital, its ability to
generate net interest income is dependent upon its ability to obtain an adequate
net interest spread between the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and
the rate earned on interest-earning assets.
The
net yield on average interest-earning assets during 2003 was 6.01% compared to
the 2002 level of 6.68%. The decline in yield is the result of the overall lower
interest rate environment. As rates remained low for an extended period of time,
it allowed more assets to reprice at lower rates. The rates paid on average
interest-bearing liabilities also decreased during 2003. The average rate for
2003 was 2.42% compared to the 2002 rate of 3.20%. The interest rate spread
actually increased 11 basis points in 2003 as compared to 2002. However, the net
interest margin remained the same in both years at 3.83%. Management expects the
net interest margin to remain at a low level during 2004. Net interest income
increased $1.0 million to $4.6 million in 2003 compared to $3.6 million in 2002.
This increase was due almost entirely to an increase in the volume of
interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets increased $25.9 million
to $120.8 million in 2003 compared to $94.9 million in 2002. The
acquisition of First Bank of Dothan increased average interest-earning assets in
2003 by $3.0 million. The most significant increase in interest-earning assets
was in loans, which increased $23.3 million to $94.1 million in 2003 compared to
$70.8 million in 2002.
For
the year ended December 31, 2002, the net interest margin decreased to 3.83%
from 4.07% in 2001. This decrease was due to a lower yield on average
interest-earning assets for the year. The yield on earning assets decreased to
6.68% in 2002 from 8.20% in 2001. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased by approximately the same percentage, to 3.20% in 2002 from 4.79% in
2001.
Provision
for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $409,000 in 2003 as compared
to $443,000 in 2002. The annual provision is based upon managements
evaluation of the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan
losses was $2.1 million, or 1.93%, of total outstanding loans. Management
believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb possible losses on
existing loans that may become uncollectible. This evaluation considers past-due
and classified loans, underlying collateral values, and current economic
conditions which may affect the borrowers ability to repay. As of December
31, 2003, Community Capital had $1.6 million in non-performing loans.
Noninterest
Income. Noninterest income consists of service charges on deposit accounts and
other miscellaneous revenues and fees. Fees on deposit accounts increased
$188,000 in 2003. The increase in fee income resulted from the growth in deposit
accounts during the year. Community Capital offers other services to its
customers which generate fee income. The financial services area generated
21
$207,000 in
fees during 2003 as compared to the 2002 amount of $71,000. This increase in fee income
is reflective of an increase in customer base and more favorable conditions in the stock
market during 2003.
In
2002, noninterest income increased $211,000 to $899,000. The majority of this
increase was realized from the sale of investment securities of $146,000.
Mortgage origination fees increased in 2002 to $247,000 from $181,000 in 2001 as
a result of increased volume during the year. Deposit fees increased in 2002 by
$97,000 to $378,000.
Noninterest
Expense. Noninterest expense for 2003 was $4,352,000 as compared to the 2002
amount of $3,216,000, representing an increase of $1,136,000, or 35.3%. Salaries
and employee benefits comprised $609,000 of the increase, which is a result of
increased staffing levels due to growth and expansion of Community Capital,
including the acquisition of First Bank of Dothan. Equipment and occupancy
expense increased $200,000 during the year. A major source of this increase was
depreciation and the building rent for the Lee County office, East Albany
office, and the Operations Center opened during 2002. In 2003, a full
years rent was paid as opposed to only paying a partial years rent
in 2002. In addition, Community Capital purchased a full-service banking
facility in Dothan, Alabama. By acquiring First Bank of Dothan, management hopes
to expand its presence by being located in another market area. This location
provides lenders and customer service representatives for opening new accounts
and loans, an ATM, and a night depository. The remaining increases in
noninterest expense are due to the increased size and volume of Community
Capital. Management monitors these expenses and attempts to control them.
In
2002, noninterest expense increased $695,000 to $3,216,000 from the prior year
amount of $2,521,000. The majority of the increase was due to the opening of
three offices during 2002, which caused an increase in salaries, employee
benefits, and equipment and occupancy expenses. Marketing expenses increased
$46,000 from the previous year, and Community Capital began paying its directors
for attendance at board and committee meetings, which amounted to $97,000 in
2002. Management monitors noninterest expense on a regular basis and attempts to
maintain these expenses at low levels.
Income
Tax. Income tax expense for 2003 was $289,000 compared to $287,000 in the previous year.
The effective rate of tax on pretax income was 31% in 2003 and 34% in 2002.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
accounting and financial reporting policies of Community Capital conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to
general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of
the accounting policies applied by Community Capital which are deemed
critical. Critical accounting policies are defined as policies that
are very important to the presentation of Community Capitals financial
condition and results of operations and that require managements most
difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Community Capitals financial
results could differ significantly if different judgments or estimates are
applied in the application of the policies.
Allowance
for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions
for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance
for loan losses when management believes that the collection of principal is
unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. Managements
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a formal
analysis that assesses the risk within the loan portfolio. This analysis
includes consideration of historical performance, current economic conditions,
level of nonperforming loans, loan concentrations, and review of certain
individual loans.
22
Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the
allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions. In addition, the regulatory agencies, as part of their examination
process, periodically review the subsidiary banks allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require our subsidiary banks to make additions to the
allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available
to them at the time of their examination.
Considering
current information and events regarding a borrowers ability to repay its
obligations, management considers a loan to be impaired when the ultimate
collectibility of all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement, is in doubt. When a loan is impaired, the amount of impairment
is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
at the loans effective interest rate. If the loan is collateral-dependent,
the fair value of the collateral is used to determine the amount of impairment.
Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge
to the provision for loan losses.
Subsequent
recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Cash receipts for
performing loans are applied to principal and interest under the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. Cash receipts on impaired loans for which the
accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied first to principal then to
interest income.
The
accounting for impaired loans described above applies to all loans, except for
large pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans that are collectively
evaluated for impairment; loans that are measured at fair value or the lower of
cost or fair value; and debt securities. The allowance for loan losses for large
pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans is established through consideration
of such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall
portfolio quality, adequacy of the underlying collateral, loan concentrations,
historical charge-off trends, and economic conditions that may affect the
borrowers ability to pay.
Certain
economic and interest rate factors could have a material impact on the
determination of the allowance for loan losses. The national economy showed
signs of rebounding during the fourth quarter of 2003. If the economys
momentum continues, certain factors could evolve which would positively impact
our net interest margin. An increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve
Bank would favorably impact our net interest margin. An improving economy could
result in the expansion of businesses and creation of jobs which would
positively affect Community Capitals loan growth and improve our gross
revenue stream. Conversely, certain factors could result from an expanding
economy which could increase our credit costs and adversely impact our net
earnings. A significant, rapid rise in interest rates could create higher
borrowing costs and shrinking corporate profits, which could have a material
impact on borrowers ability to pay. We will continue to concentrate on
maintaining a high-quality loan portfolio through strict administration of our
loan policy.
Another
factor that we have considered in the determination of the allowance for loan
losses is the concentration to individual borrowers or industries. At June
30, 2004, Community Capital had ten individual loan relationships that each
exceeded $1 million, none of which exceeded $2 million.
A
substantial portion of the loan portfolio is in the residential and commercial
real estate sectors. Those loans are secured by real estate in Community
Capitals primary market areas. All of the other real estate owned is also
located in those same markets. Therefore, the ultimate collectibility of a
substantial portion of our loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial
portion of the carrying amount of other real estate owned are susceptible to
changes in market conditions in Community Capitals primary market areas.
23
Community
Capital also monitors its exposure in the loan portfolio based upon industry
classifications of its customers. At the present time, the dispersion of loans
among different industries is such that management believes that there is no
significant exposure to Community Capital in one particular industry. The
composition of the loan portfolio is monitored by management, and should it be
determined that there is an exposure to Community Capital due to one particular
industry, then loans made to customers in that industry would be monitored more
closely and appropriate adjustments made to the allowance for loan losses.
Income
Taxes. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, requires the asset
and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred
income taxes. Community Capital uses the asset and liability method of
accounting for deferred income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for all
significant income tax temporary differences. Note 12 in Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional details concerning
deferred income taxes.
As
part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements,
Community Capital is required to estimate the income taxes in each of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating our actual
current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items such as depreciation and the provision for
loan losses for tax and financial reporting purposes. These timing differences
result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are included in our
consolidated balance sheet.
Management
must also assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered
from future taxable income. To the extent that this is determined unlikely, a
valuation allowance must be established. Significant management judgment is
required in determining the provision for income taxes, the deferred tax assets
and liabilities, and any valuation allowance required for net deferred tax
assets. If a valuation allowance is established or adjusted during a period,
then the appropriate expense is recorded within the tax provision in the income
statement.
Long-Lived
Assets, Including Intangibles. We evaluate long-lived assets such as property
and equipment, specifically identifiable intangibles and goodwill, when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets
might not be recoverable. Factors that could trigger an impairment include
significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future
operating results, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired
assets, and significant negative industry or economic trends.
The
determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of
undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets as compared to the carrying
value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment
loss recognized would be determined by estimating the fair value of the assets
and recording a loss if the fair value was less than the book value.
In
determining the existence of impairment factors, our assessment is based on
market conditions, operational performance, and legal factors of Community
Capital and the banks. Our review of factors present and the resulting
appropriate carrying value of our goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived
assets are subject to judgments and estimates that management is required to
make. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist
and that our goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets might be
impaired.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash
flows to satisfy demands for credit, deposit withdrawals, and other needs of
Community Capital. Traditional sources of
24
liquidity
include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A company may achieve its desired
liquidity objectives from the management of assets and liabilities and through funds
provided by operations. Funds invested in short-term marketable instruments and the
continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from the asset
perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through deposit growth,
the maturity structure of liabilities, and accessibility to market sources of funds.
Scheduled
loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and
deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates and
general economic conditions and competition. Community Capital attempts to price
its deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market
conditions.
State
and federal regulatory authorities monitor the liquidity and capital resources
of Community Capital on a periodic basis. Management believes that its current
liquidity position is satisfactory.
At
June 30, 2004, Community Capital had loan commitments outstanding of
$15 million. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed, our
subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis and
purchase federal funds from other financial institutions. At June 30, 2004, our
subsidiary banks had arrangements with upstream correspondent banks for
short-term advances of $5 million.
At
June 30, 2004, Community Capital and its subsidiary banks were considered well
capitalized based on regulatory minimum capital requirements. In 2003, total
capital increased $562,000 from retained earnings; $38,000 from the sale of
treasury stock through the employee stock purchase plan; $180,000 from the
exercise of warrants; and $3,043,000 from the issuance of stock in connection
with the acquisition of First Bank of Dothan. Capital decreased $278,000 from
unrealized net gains on securities available for sale. Total capital increased a
net $3,545,000 during 2003. During 2002, total capital increased $567,000 from
retained earnings, $115,000 from unrealized net gains on securities available
for sale and decreased $124,000 from purchase of treasury stock, resulting in a
net gain of $558,000 for the year.
The
primary source of funds available to Community Capital will be the payment of
dividends by its subsidiary banks. Banking regulations limit the amount of the
dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the regulatory agencies. As
of June 30, 2004, $2,073,000 in dividends was able to be paid by Albany
Bank & Trust to Community Capital without regulatory approval. Under the
terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 9, 2003, First Bank of
Dothan may not pay any cash dividends without the prior written consent of the
FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department. See BusinessLending
ServicesMemorandum of Understanding, page 36.
Under
the terms of its Memorandum of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan is required
to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 8%. See
BusinessLending ServicesMemorandum of Understanding,
page 36. The minimum capital requirements to be considered well capitalized
under prompt corrective action provisions, absent the Memorandum of
Understanding, and the actual capital ratios for Community Capital and its
subsidiary banks as of June 30, 2004 are as follows:

At
June 30, 2004, Community Capital had commitments of approximately $850,000 to
complete construction of a full-service branch in downtown Albany. Community
Capital also intends to construct a modular building for a loan production
office in Auburn, Alabama, which is estimated to require capital expenditures of
approximately $50,000.
Management
believes that its liquidity and capital resources are adequate and will meet its
foreseeable short- and long-term needs. Management anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments and to fund or
refinance, on a timely basis, its other material commitments and liabilities.
Except
for expected growth common to a growing bank, management is not aware of any
other known trends, events, or uncertainties that will have or that are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity, capital resources,
or operations. Management is also not aware of any current recommendations by
the regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have such an
effect.
Effects of
Inflation
The
impact of inflation on banks differs from its impact on non-financial
institutions. Banks, as financial intermediaries, have assets which are
primarily monetary in nature and which tend to fluctuate in concert with
inflation. A bank can reduce the impact of inflation if it can manage its
rate-sensitivity gap. This gap represents the difference between rate-sensitive
assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. Community Capital, through its
Asset/Liability Committee, attempts to structure the assets and liabilities and
manage the rate-sensitivity gap, thereby seeking to minimize the potential
effects of inflation. For information on the management of Community
Capitals interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities, see
Asset/Liability Management below.
Asset/Liability
Management
Community
Capitals objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide a
satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of
established cash, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. Certain
officers are charged with the responsibility of monitoring policies and
procedures that are designed to ensure acceptable composition of the
asset/liability mix. Managements goal is to support asset growth primarily
through growth of core deposits made by local individuals, partnerships, and
corporations.
Community
Capitals asset/liability mix is monitored with a report reflecting the
interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities prepared
and presented to the respective Boards of
26
Directors of
the subsidiary banks on a quarterly basis. The report monitors interest rate-sensitive
assets and liabilities so as to minimize the impact of substantial movements in interest
rates on earnings. An asset or liability is considered to be interest rate-sensitive if
it will reprice or mature within the time period analyzed, usually one year or less. The
interest rate-sensitivity gap is the difference between the interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice within such time period. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the
amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the
amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the interest rate-sensitive
assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in
net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative
gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap
would tend to adversely affect net interest income. If Community Capitals assets
and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, the impact of any increase
or decrease in interest rates on net interest income would be minimal.
A
simple interest rate gap analysis by itself may not be an accurate
indicator of how net interest income will be affected by changes in interest
rates. Accordingly, Community Capital also evaluates how the repayment of
particular assets and liabilities is impacted by changes in interest rates.
Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with
interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in
interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest
rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example,
although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods
of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in
advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types
may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets,
such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as
interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest
rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly
from those assumed in calculating the interest rate gap. The ability of many
borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising
interest rates.
Changes
in interest rates also affect Community Capitals liquidity position.
Community Capital currently prices deposits in response to market rates, and it
is managements intention to continue this policy. If deposits are not
priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would
negatively affect Community Capitals liquidity position.
At
June 30, 2004, Community Capitals cumulative one-year interest
rate-sensitivity gap ratio was 71%. Community Capitals targeted ratio is
80% to 120% in this time horizon. This indicates that Community Capitals
interest-earning liabilities will reprice during this period at a faster rate
than its interest-bearing assets. Community Capital is outside its targeted
parameters. Community Capital has a significant amount of certificates of
deposit maturing in the period from three months to one year. Management believes that these
deposits can be repriced at current rates for an extended period without adversely affecting earnings.
Management believes that as long as it pays the prevailing market rate on these
types of deposits, Community Capitals liquidity, while not assured, will not
be negatively affected.
The
following table sets forth the distribution of the repricing of Community
Capitals interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of
June 30, 2004; the interest rate-sensitivity gap; the cumulative interest
rate-sensitivity gap; the interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio; and the
cumulative interest rate-sensitivity gap ratio. The table also sets forth the
time periods in which earning assets and liabilities will mature or may reprice
in accordance with their contractual terms. However, the table does not
necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the net
interest margin since the repricing of various categories of assets and
liabilities is subject to competitive pressures and the needs of
27
Community
Capitals customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as
repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times within such
period and at different rates.

BUSINESS
General
Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc. is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Albany, Georgia. We were formed in August 1998 as a Georgia corporation and
currently serve as the holding company and sole shareholder of Albany Bank &
Trust and First Bank of Dothan. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market under the symbol ALBY.
Albany
Bank & Trust is a national bank that began its banking operations on April
28, 1999. Since its opening, Albany Bank & Trust has grown to approximately
$135,916,000 in total assets as of June 30, 2004. During this time Albany Bank
& Trust has expanded its locations by adding branch offices in Lee County,
Georgia, east Albany and downtown Albany. In November 2003, we expanded our
market presence to Dothan, Alabama with our acquisition of First Bank of Dothan,
an Alabama state bank with total assets of approximately $31,415,000 as of June
30, 2004. We believe that the Dothan market presents opportunities similar to
the Albany market and a potential for future growth.
We
strive to provide superior customer service and maintain a friendly
hometown atmosphere for our customers. We believe that these
features are our competitive advantage in our local markets and have contributed
to our growth over the past five years. We provide a broad array of banking
products through our five branch locations, eight ATMs, Internet-based banking
and telephone banking. At June 30, 2004 we had total assets of
$165,888,000, total deposits of $128,273,000 and total shareholders equity
of $13,354,000. Future growth for our company will be dependent upon a
combination of internal growth within our banks and external growth through new
branch expansions to new markets or acquisitions of existing banks in new
markets.
Our
Past Performance. We believe that our performance over the past five years is a
result of our effective implementation of our business plan and is indicative of
our ability to execute our core banking business. From April 28, 1999 to June
30, 2004, we achieved strong growth in our banking business and have achieved
the following:
· |
|
Increased our diluted earnings per share from a loss of $0.52 in 1999 to $0.39 for the year ended 2003; |
· |
|
Expanded our branch network from our original one location to five locations; and |
· |
|
Completed our acquisition of First Bank of Dothan in November 2003 and began the process of integrating First Bank of Dothans systems into ours. |
Our
Subsidiary Banks. Our banking business is conducted through our two subsidiary banks:
· |
|
Albany Bank & Trust A national bank with $135,916,000 in assets as of
June 30, 2004 that was chartered on April 28, 1999. This bank engages in
commercial banking activities in Dougherty and Lee counties, Georgia. The bank
has three full-service branches, a loan production office and an operations
center. |
· |
|
First Bank of Dothan A state bank chartered under the laws of the State
of Alabama that engages in commercial banking in Houston County, Alabama. It has
one full-service branch and total assets of approximately $31,415,000 as of
June 30, 2004. In March 2004, First Bank of Dothan filed an application to
convert to a national bank. Regulatory approval of the application is not
expected prior to the closing of this offering. |
29
Our
subsidiary banks each operate under their separate charters under the corporate
umbrella of Community Capital Bancshares, Inc. Each bank has its own local board
of directors and management comprised of persons known in the local community.
While the banks follow similar policies and procedures in the areas of loan
administration, budgeting, marketing, human resource management, operations and
funding, each bank maintains local decision-making capabilities.

Our Market
Areas and Competitive Position
The
primary service areas for Community Capital are the Albany Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) in southwest Georgia and the Dothan and the
AuburnOpelika MSAs in southeast Alabama. Historically, Community Capital
has focused on the Albany MSA, including Dougherty and Lee counties. With the
acquisition of First Bank of Dothan, we have expanded westward into southeastern
Alabama, primarily to the Dothan MSA. Additionally, in February 2004, Albany
Bank & Trust opened a loan production office in the Auburn MSA, located
between Columbus, Georgia and Montgomery, Alabama on Interstate 85. Upon
completion of the offering, First Bank of Dothan plans, subject to regulatory
approval, to construct an office in the Auburn MSA and further strengthen its
presence in southeastern Alabama. Management believes its expansion into
southeastern Alabama will increase Community Capitals prospects for future
growth and diversify its business, making it is less dependent on one economic
area.
Albany,
Georgia and the Albany MSA
Dougherty
and Lee counties are located in the Albany MSA, one of seven in Georgia. Albany
is located approximately 175 miles south of Atlanta and 100 miles north of
Tallahassee, Florida. Five interstates are accessible via four-lane highways
extending from Albany in multiple directions. Albany is considered to be the
commercial center (hub) of southwest Georgia, with the majority of the
areas retail sales, medical services and transportation activity conducted
in its marketplace. Albany also has a broad industrial base.
The
Albany MSA has a broad and diversified economic base and is home to the Marine
Corps Logistics Base, a Miller Brewing Company plant, a Merck pharmaceutical
plant, a Cooper Tire plant, a Procter & Gamble plant, and a large medical
facility. Albany presents a generally stable market area with good growth
prospects. The Albany MSAs median household income is $34,829. The
following table illustrates the economic diversification and top employers for
the area.

According
to the 2000 U.S. Census, the population base for the Albany MSA was
120,822. According to the FDIC, the overall deposit base in the Albany MSA
increased from $834 million in 1999 to $1.3 billion in 2003, an annualized
growth rate of 11.5%. During this time span, Albany Bank & Trusts
deposits in this market area grew from $10 million to $103 million, an
annualized growth rate of 79%. As of June 30, 2003, there were 12 financial
institutions serving the Albany MSA, including five regional banks, six
community banks and one thrift. The top five institutions control approximately
78% of the MSAs deposit base. Albany Bank & Trust is one of only two
community banks headquartered in the Albany MSA, and is the larger of the two.
Since 1999, Albany Bank & Trusts deposit market share has increased
from 1.2% to 8.0% of the Albany MSA, representing the largest increase amongst
all financial institutions in the market.
Dothan,
Alabama and the Dothan MSA
Dothan
is located approximately 90 miles southwest of Albany, Georgia and 90 miles
southeast of Montgomery, Alabama. The city serves as a retail hub for
approximately 500,000 people within a 90-mile radius which includes southeastern
Alabama as well as parts of Florida and Georgia. The Dothan area is home to
numerous industrial parks that offer an array of industrial companies in
aviation, fabricated metals, distribution, customer service centers, food
products, electronics, machinery, and injection molding. Dothans major
companies include Perdue Farms, Sony Magnetic Products, and Michelin. Like
Albany, Dothan also has a large medical community.
According
to the 2000 U.S. Census, the population base for the Dothan MSA was 137,916.
According to the FDIC, the overall deposit base in the Dothan MSA increased from
$1.5 billion in 1999 to $1.6 billion in 2003, an annualized growth rate of 2.5%.
As of June 30, 2003, there were 14 financial institutions serving the
Dothan MSA, including five regional banks and eight community banks. The top
five institutions control approximately 69% of the MSAs deposit base. As
of June 30, 2003, First Bank of Dothans deposit market share was 1.5% of
the Dothan MSA.
Auburn,
Alabama and the AuburnOpelika MSA
Auburn
is located in Lee County, adjacent to I-85 and approximately 35 miles northwest
of Columbus, Georgia and 55 miles east of Montgomery, Alabama. Auburns
population base and economy are heavily influenced by the student population
(22,000) at Auburn University, Alabamas largest university and the
citys largest employer. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the population
base for
31
the AuburnOpelika
MSA was 115,092. According to the FDIC, the overall deposit base in the AuburnOpelika
MSA increased from $978 million in 1999 to $1,232 million in 2003, an annualized growth
rate of 5.9%. As of June 30, 2003, there were 12 financial institutions serving the
AuburnOpelika MSA, including six regional banks, five community banks and one
thrift. The top five institutions control approximately 75% of the MSAs deposit
base.
Our Strategy
Ultimately,
our success depends on our ability to excel as bankers in our market areas. As
smaller community banking organizations, our banks are unable to compete with
larger banks purely on a pricing basis. We must differentiate ourselves from
larger banks by providing superior customer service. This is accomplished by
providing a warm, friendly atmosphere for customers entering our banks; prompt
service to our customers by knowledgeable bank staff; and prompt resolution of
customer problems. By gaining our customers acceptance and developing our
reputation as a hometown bank, we hope to gain repeat business as well as
referrals from existing customers. Prompt, friendly service has been a way of
life at Albany Bank & Trust since it opened and will be transferred to the
staff at First Bank of Dothan as they are integrated into Community Capital.
Operating
Strategies. In order to accomplish our overall objective of establishing our banks as
leading community banks in our market areas, our operating strategies are:
· |
|
Total Customer Service. Our position as a small community banking organization
provides us the flexibility to provide innovative products to our customers in a
faster, friendlier manner than the larger, less autonomous competitors. Final
decisions regarding loan approval and other matters are made at the local level
without requiring approval from out-of-town home offices. As a
result, we believe we are able to execute transactions more efficiently than our
competitors, which allows us to provide a higher level of service and
satisfaction to our customers. |
|
|
Since
beginning our banking business in 1999, we have utilized new technologies such
as imaged statements and other imaging products to provide more efficient
service to our customers. Additionally, we have provided customers with expanded
access to their accounts and our financial services through Internet and
telephone banking, courier services, conveniently located ATMs and loan
production offices. |
· |
|
Disciplined Lending. While providing prompt and efficient service to our
customers, we still must ensure that the quality of our loan portfolio remains
at a high level. Since inception, we have strived to generate relationships with
high-quality borrowers. We believe this lending approach is reflected in our low
number of past-due and non-performing loans. Our lenders constantly monitor the
quality of the loan portfolio and take actions as appropriate to identify and
correct loans which deteriorate. |
Growth
Strategies. Until 2003, we focused on internal growth through developing and
enhancing banking relationships in the Albany market. This strategy served us
well, as demonstrated by the growth in assets and deposits over our first four
years. Beginning in 2003, we began to explore opportunities to expand outside of
the Albany market area. In November 2003, we finalized the acquisition of First
Bank of Dothan. As we continue to mature, we are committed to growth through
both internal and external sources. Our growth strategies are:
· |
|
Enhancing Existing Relationships. We believe our most efficient way to grow is
to expand relationships with current customers. Our friendly atmosphere provides
an |
32
|
|
incentive for the customer to return for additional services. Our staff is
coached on the benefits of cross-selling and making every effort to enhance
existing relationships by providing additional services to our customers. |
· |
|
Addition of Market Share. Since our opening in 1999, our major source of growth
has been the addition of new customers. Our staff of experienced local bankers
has aggressively sought out new customers. Our focus is on small to
medium-sized businesses and consumers who desire the additional personal
attention that we provide. We obtain this business through personal contact with
these customers and develop these relationships further by using our ability to
provide personal attention and timely local decisions to their requests. We
believe these traits enable us to gain business from the regional and
super-regional banks in our area. |
· |
|
Growth by Acquisition. We will continue to seek and evaluate potential
acquisition opportunities as they arise. We completed our first acquisition in
November 2003 when we acquired First Bank of Dothan. We continue to integrate
this bank into our systems and instill our sales and customer service culture in
its staff. We believe that by merging with institutions in new market areas, we
can diversify our geographic risks in the loan portfolio. Any future potential
acquisitions will be evaluated based upon our ability to gain market share in
the new market and the potential impact of the acquisition on our overall
performance. We believe that the following areas present opportunities for
future expansion: |
· |
|
the panhandle area of Florida from Apalachicola westward to Pensacola; |
· |
|
other metropolitan areas in Georgia outside of the Atlanta area; and |
· |
|
further expansion in Alabama in high-growth areas. |
Competition
We
believe the major competitive factors in the financial industry are convenience,
pricing, breadth of products and customer service. The majority of our
competitors are regional and super-regional banks. These banks enjoy a
competitive advantage in terms of number of locations and pricing. We feel that
these advantages are offset by our superior customer service and our ability to
leverage our technology to provide services to our customers. Our systems allow
us to provide our customers with products that are comparable to those of larger
banks.
The
maximum amount we can lend to any one borrower is limited by our subsidiary
banks capital. Many of our larger competitors have much higher lending
limits than we do. If a customers borrowing needs exceed our lending
limit, we participate the excess amount either with our banks or another
community bank. Since our target market is the small- to mid-sized business, our
customers borrowing requirements rarely exceed our lending limits.
According
to FDIC deposit data as of June 30, 2003, the Albany, Dothan and
AuburnOpelika MSAs had total deposits of $4.1 billion. Of this amount,
approximately 65% was controlled by regional and super-regional financial
institutions, including SunTrust Banks, Inc., Regions Financial Corp., Compass
Bancshares, Inc., Synovus Financial Corp., and SouthTrust Corp. Despite these
competitors considerable resources, we have gained market share in these
markets through our emphasis on customer service. At June 30, 2003, Community
Capital had a market share in its combined markets of approximately 3.0%. At
that time, Albany Bank & Trust had a market share in the Albany MSA of
approximately 8.0%, while First Bank of Dothan had a market share in the Dothan
MSA of 1.5%. We
33
believe there
is significant potential for growth in the Dothan and AuburnOpelika MSAs as we
establish ourselves in these markets.
Lending
Services
We
offer the following types of loans to our customers:
· |
|
Real Estate Construction. Our construction loan portfolio consists of loans made
for residential and non-agricultural, commercial construction loans. The
majority of these loans are made on a pre-sold basis where the purchaser has
already obtained permanent financing for the completed building. A smaller
number of construction loans are made to contractors for speculative purposes.
The creditworthiness and financial capabilities of the contractor play a major
factor in the decision to make these loans. At June 30, 2004, total
construction loans constituted 8.99% of our loan portfolio. |
· |
|
Real Estate Mortgage. Loans secured by one- to four-family residential buildings
comprise the largest portion of our loans. These include any loan which has
collateral consisting of one- to four-family buildings. These loans may either
be first or junior lien positions. In many cases, we will take a lien position
on a business owners other assets to ensure we have additional collateral
on the loan. We do not make 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Our real estate loans
are either floating-rate loans or loans that have a final maturity of less than
ten years. These loans constituted 34.89% of our loan portfolio at June 30,
2004. |
· |
|
Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural. We make commercial loans to qualified
businesses in our market areas. This portion of our portfolio primarily
represents loans to businesses in order to finance accounts receivable,
inventory, and fixed-asset expansion. Borrowers in this category are evaluated
based upon their cash flows to ensure there will be sufficient funds generated
to repay the loans. Additional collateral may be taken on these loans to protect
our position in the event that the borrowers cash flow proves insufficient
to repay the loan. To a lesser extent we will make loans for agricultural
purposes or the financing of farmland. These loans are also evaluated using the
same cash flow criteria as commercial loans. These loans constituted 45.73% of
our loan portfolio at June 30, 2004. |
· |
|
Loans to Individuals. This portion of our portfolio consists of loans to
individuals for personal, family and household purposes. These loans involve a
high degree of risk due to the nature of the collateral and the potential for
insolvency or bankruptcy of the borrower. Loans to individuals are evaluated
based upon the borrowers past performance and current ability to repay the
loan. At June 30, 2004, these loans constituted 10.39% of our loan portfolio. |
We
originate loans with a variety of terms, both fixed and floating rate. In all
cases, we emphasize the use of real estate as collateral due to its inherent
value. We emphasize loans in our market areas, but we occasionally make loans
outside of the market area to known customers or through correspondent banks.
This contributes to the geographic diversity of our portfolio, although there
are some additional risks due to the distance of the borrower or the collateral
from us. Loans outside of our market area are evaluated using our normal credit
standards.
34
Our
loan portfolio represents the largest earning asset on our balance sheet. The
risks of lending are offset in part by our careful evaluation of potential
borrowers and by pricing the loans based upon the risks involved. At December
31, 2003 and 2002, loans net of unearned income were $109,589,000 and
$81,712,000, respectively. This represents an increase in total loans of
$27,877,000, or 34%, from 2002 to 2003. These amounts represent 69% and 75% of
total assets, respectively. Of the increase, $18,000,000 was the result of the
acquisition of First Bank of Dothan. We strive to identify and properly account
for potential uncollectible loans in our portfolio. We do this by creating an
allowance for uncollectible loans with a corresponding charge to earnings. As of
the previous two year-ends, the allowance represented 1.93% and 1% of gross
loans for 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the allowance in 2003
relates to the acquisition of First Bank of Dothan. Our earning assets,
including loans, are tied to the overall interest rate environment in the
economy. Our yield on loans has declined in the past year in response to the
overall economic conditions. The yield on loans declined to 6.75% in 2003 from
7.40% in 2002. By managing our cost of funds, we maintained our net interest
margin at 3.83% for both years.

The
concentration of loans in the real estate sector results in our obtaining
high-quality collateral to secure the loans.
Lending
Limits. When the amount of loans to a single borrower exceeds an individual
lenders limit, the loan must be approved by a more experienced officer
with a higher limit or the respective banks loan committee.
Lending
limits vary based upon the type of loan and the borrower. In general, under
banking regulations, each bank is limited by its capital to the amount it can
extend to any one borrower. Generally, these limits provide that no more than
15% of the banks capital can be extended to any one borrower, plus up to
an additional 10% of the banks capital, provided the amount that exceeds
10% is secured by readily marketable collateral. Because of our ability to sell
participations between our banks, we can combine our limits to extend larger
loans if we so desire. At June 30, 2004, our internally established lending
limits, which are below the regulatory limits, to any one borrower were $2
million for Albany Bank & Trust and $700,000 for First Bank of Dothan. We
believe that this amount provides us the ability to properly serve our
customers. While this is the total legal limit we are allowed, we base the total
lending to any once customer on their ability to repay and financial condition.
All loans are assigned a grade, based on the quality of the credit. These grades
are reviewed regularly by our lenders, bank examiners and third party loan
reviewers, and ratings are adjusted based upon the borrowers history and
financial condition.
35
Underwriting.
We have lenders of varying experience and expertise. Our senior lenders are the
primary contact points for our major loan customers. These lenders are supported
by the credit administration officer at the holding company. These three people
alone have 60 years of combined lending experience. We have developed a credit
underwriting and monitoring system. A portion of each lenders annual bonus
is based on generating new loans which meet these guidelines.
Memorandum
of Understanding. On January 9, 2003, prior to its acquisition by Community
Capital, First Bank of Dothan entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the
FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department primarily regarding First Bank of
Dothans lending practices. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding,
First Bank of Dothan has designated a qualified chief lending officer, developed
a definitive and strengthened loan review and grading program, reduced the
balance of its assets classified as substandard and doubtful, and implemented an
amended written loan policy and exception procedures and reporting. Under the
terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan is required to
maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 8% and may not pay any
cash dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Alabama
State Banking Department. We believe First Bank of Dothan has complied with the
terms of the Memorandum of Understanding and plan to request that it be
terminated.

Option Grant
Upon Completion of Offering
Our
Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors have approved the grant, upon
the closing of this offering, to our president, Robert E. Lee, of an option to
purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5% of the shares sold
in this offering. The exercise price of the option will equal the closing price
of the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as of the business day
immediately prior to the closing date of the offering. The option will be
granted under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan as of the close of this offering and
will become exercisable in 20% annual increments beginning on the first
anniversary of the closing date. The option will remain exercisable for the
ten-year period following the closing date or for 90 days after the option
holder ceases to be employed by Community Capital, whichever is shorter. The
exercise price of the option will be subject to adjustment for stock splits,
recapitalizations or other similar events.
Proposed
Executive Compensation Plans
Supplemental
Retirement Plan. On April 26, 2004, our Board of Directors approved, in
principle, a supplemental retirement plan for the benefit of our
president, Robert E. Lee,
41
and our chief
credit officer, Paul Joiner. Generally, under the proposed plan, our president and chief
credit officer will receive supplemental retirement benefits upon termination of
employment due to retirement on or after reaching age 65, disability, death or upon a
change in control of Community Capital. In addition, benefits would be payable under the
supplemental retirement plan if the executives terminate employment (other than for
cause) prior to reaching age 65, provided that they have satisfied a specified service
requirement. The total benefit available to the president and chief credit officer under
the supplemental retirement plan will consist of a fixed and a variable component. The
fixed component of the benefit will be equal to a specified percentage of the executives
annual salary in effect upon his or her termination of employment. The variable
component of the benefit will be determined based upon the executives satisfaction
of specified performance goals. The benefits will vest based on the executives
period of service with us. We intend to use a bank-owned life insurance instrument to
fund the supplemental retirement benefits.
Deferred
Executive Compensation Plans. On April 26, 2004, our Board of Directors also
approved, in principle, two deferred executive compensation plans. Under a
deferred cash bonus plan, executive officers will be permitted to defer up to
100% of their annual cash bonus. Under a deferred benefit plan, we will make an
annual deferred contribution of up to 30% of the executive officers annual
salary to his or her deferred account upon the executives satisfaction of
specified performance criteria. Deferred contributions under both plans will
accrue earnings based on a predetermined measurement, such as a multiple of our
return on assets, established by the Board on an annual basis. The Board of
Directors also approved the use of a bank-owned life instrument to fund the
deferred executive compensation plans.
We
anticipate that the Board of Directors will approve the final terms of the
proposed supplemental retirement plan and the proposed deferred executive
compensation plans and that these plans will be implemented during the third
quarter of 2004.

2000
Outside Directors Stock Option Plan. The 2000 Outside Directors
Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 24, 2000. This
plan is not subject to the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
nor is it qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. The 2000 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan provides for the
issuance of non-qualified stock options to members of the Board of Directors who
are not employees of Community Capital or any of its affiliates and the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, regardless of whether he is an employee of Community
Capital. Community Capital has reserved up to 21,429 shares of Community
Capitals common stock for issuance under this plan upon exercise of an
option. This number may change in the event of future stock dividends, stock
splits, recapitalizations and similar events. If an option expires or terminates
without being exercised, the shares subject to the unexercised portion of the
option may again be available for awards under the 2000 Outside Directors
Stock Option Plan. The purpose of this plan is to promote in its non-employee
directors personal interest in the welfare of Community Capital and provide
incentives to the individuals who are primarily responsible for shaping and
carrying out the long-term plans of Community Capital.
The
2000 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan provides for an annual grant of
an option to purchase 142 shares of Community Capitals common stock to the
existing non-employee directors and an option to purchase 285 shares of
Community Capitals common stock to the Chairman of the Board as of the
date of each annual shareholders meeting. Options granted pursuant to this
plan are generally nontransferable except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution unless otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors. These options
are fully vested and exercisable immediately, subject to any restriction imposed
by the primary federal regulator of Community Capital. The exercise price of
these options must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the
date the option is granted. The term of the options may not exceed ten years
from the date of grant. If a participant ceases to be a director of Community
Capital or any affiliate, the options expire, terminate and become unexercisable
no later than 90 days after the date the participant ceases to provide such
services.
Non-qualified
Stock Option Agreement with Charles M. Jones, III. On November 15, 1999, Mr.
Jones was granted an option to purchase 21,429 shares of Community
Capitals common stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share, as adjusted
to reflect Community Capitals ten-for-seven stock split effective in
January 2001. This option vests in 20% equal increments over five years
beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date for so long as Mr. Jones
serves as a director of Community Capital or any of its affiliates. The option
will be come fully vested if Mr. Jones retires on or after he reaches age 65 or
upon a change in control of Community Capital. The option will expire on the
tenth anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, 90 days after Mr. Jones
ceases to be a director of Community Capital or any affiliate.
43
Non-qualified
Stock Option Agreement with Richard Bishop. On April 11, 2000, Mr. Bishop was
granted an option to purchase 12,143 shares of Community Capitals common
stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, as adjusted to reflect Community
Capitals ten-for-seven stock split effective in January 2001. This option
vests in 20% equal increments over five years beginning on the first anniversary
of the grant date for so long as Mr. Bishop serves as an employee of Community
Capital or any of its affiliates. The option will be come fully vested if Mr.
Bishop retires on or after he reaches age 65 or upon a change in control of
Community Capital. The option will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant
date or, if earlier, 90 days after Mr. Bishop ceases to be employee of Community
Capital or any affiliate.
Non-qualified
Stock Option Agreement with Members of Management. On February 23, 2003,
Community Capital granted five members of management options to purchase an
aggregate of 50,000 shares of Community Capitals common stock at an
exercise price of $10.18 per share. These options vest in 20% equal increments
over five years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date for so long
as the individual serves as an employee of Community Capital or any of its
affiliates. The options will become fully vested if there is a change in control
of Community Capital. The options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the
grant date or, if earlier, 90 days after the optionee ceases to be employee of
Community Capital or any affiliate. Since the options were only granted to
officers of Community Capital and the Bank, the option grants did not involve a
public offering, and therefore were exempt from registration under Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933.
Restated
Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan enables eligible
employees to purchase shares of Community Capital common stock through payroll
deductions. An employee is eligible to participate in the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan if that employee is a resident of Georgia and is employed in a
position that customarily requires at least 20 hours of work per week. Under the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, employee payroll deductions are combined with
matching contributions made by Community Capital and used to purchase shares of
Community Capital common stock on behalf of the employee at the end of each
calendar quarter. The shares are purchased in the open market at prevailing
prices at the time of the purchase or may be purchased from Community Capital at
fair market value. Fair market value is determined by Community Capital in good
faith based on all relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of purchase.
If an employee terminates employment with Community Capital or any affiliate or
the employee no longer satisfies the eligibility requirements, the
employees payroll deductions made under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
that have not been used to purchase shares of Community Capitals common
stock will be returned to that employee and any matching credits will be
forfeited.
Warrant
Agreements with Each of Community Capitals Directors. On March 11, 1999,
Community Capital issued its directors warrants to purchase an aggregate of
302,420 shares of Community Capitals common stock at $7.00 per share, as
adjusted to reflect Community Capitals ten-for-seven stock split effective
in January 2001. The warrants become exercisable in 20% annual increments
beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance date. Exercisable warrants
will remain exercisable for the ten-year period following the date of issuance
or for 90 days after the warrant holder ceases to be a director of Community
Capital, whichever is shorter. The exercise price of each warrant is subject to
adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations or other similar events.
Additionally, if Albany Bank & Trusts capital falls below the minimum
level, as determined by the OCC, Community Capital may be directed to require
the directors to exercise or forfeit their warrants.
Employment
Agreements
Robert
E. Lee. On August 19, 1998, Community Capital and Albany Bank & Trust
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lee regarding Mr. Lees
employment as Community Capitals
44
President. The
initial term of the agreement began on August 1, 1998 and continued until July 31, 2003.
At the end of the initial five-year term and at the end of any extension of the term,
the agreement automatically extends for a period of 12 months, unless a party to the
agreement provides notice to the other parties that he or it does not intend to extend
the agreement.
Mr.
Lees base salary under the agreement during 2003 was $160,600 per year.
The Board of Directors is required to review the base salary amount annually,
and the base salary may be increased by an amount determined by the Board of
Directors. The agreement also provides that Mr. Lee is entitled to an annual
cash bonus based on Community Capitals consolidated earnings, provided
that the Board of Directors determines, according to reasonable safety and
soundness standards, that the overall financial condition of Albany Bank &
Trust will not be adversely affected by the payment of the bonus. Mr. Lee earned
a bonus of $83,717 during 2003. Additionally, the agreement requires Community
Capital to provide Mr. Lee with an automobile, health insurance, life insurance,
vacation time, reimbursement for reasonable business expenses, club memberships
and other customary benefits.
Generally,
in the event Mr. Lee is terminated by Community Capital without cause or Mr. Lee
terminates his employment with cause, Community Capital will be required to meet
its obligations with respect to Mr. Lees compensation for a period equal
to the greater of 12 months from the date of termination or the remaining term
of the agreement. In the event Community Capital terminates Mr. Lees
employment due to his permanent disability, Community Capital will be required to meet
its obligations with respect to Mr. Lees compensation for a period of 12 months
following the termination. If Mr. Lee terminates his employment within six months
following a change in control of Community Capital, Mr. Lee will be entitled to a cash
payment equal to 2.99 times his average base salary for the preceding three years.
If
Mr. Lees employment is terminated by Community Capital with cause or Mr.
Lee terminates his employment without cause or upon a change in control, Mr. Lee
will generally be prohibited from competing with Albany Bank & Trust or
soliciting its customers or employees for a period of 12 months after the date
of termination.
David
C. Guillebeau. On October 1, 1998, Community Capital and Albany Bank & Trust
entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Guillebeau regarding his
employment as Executive Vice President of Community Capital and Albany Bank
& Trust and Senior Loan Officer of Albany Bank & Trust. The
initial term of the agreement began on October 1, 1998 and continued until
September 30, 2001. At the end of the initial three-year term and at the end of
any extension of the term, the agreement automatically extends for a period of
12 months, unless a party to the agreement provides notice to the other parties
that he or it does not intend to extend the agreement.
Mr.
Guillebeaus base salary under the agreement during 2003 was $101,609 per
year. The President of Albany Bank & Trust is required to review the base
salary amount annually, and the base salary may be increased each year by an
amount determined by the President. The agreement also provides that Mr.
Guillebeau is entitled to an annual cash bonus based on criteria established by
the President of Albany Bank & Trust. Mr. Guillebeau earned a bonus of
$14,000 during 2003. Additionally, the agreement requires Community Capital to
provide Mr. Guillebeau with an automobile, health insurance, vacation time,
reimbursement for reasonable business expenses, club memberships and other
customary benefits.
Generally,
in the event Mr. Guillebeau is terminated by Community Capital without cause or
Mr. Guillebeau terminates his employment with cause, Community Capital will
be required to meet its obligations with respect to Mr. Guillebeaus
compensation for a period equal to the greater of 12 months from the date of
termination or the remaining term of the agreement. In the event Community
Capital
45
terminates Mr. Guillebeaus employment due to his permanent
disability, Community Capital will be required to meet its obligations with
respect to Mr. Guillebeaus compensation for a period of 12 months
following the termination. If Mr. Guillebeau terminates his employment within
six months following a change in control of Community Capital, Mr. Guillebeau
will be entitled to a cash payment equal to the sum of his average base salary
and cash bonus for the preceding three years.
If
Mr. Guillebeaus employment is terminated by Community Capital with cause
or Mr. Guillebeau terminates his employment without cause or upon a change
in control, Mr. Guillebeau will generally be prohibited from competing with
Albany Bank & Trust or soliciting its customers or employees for a period of
12 months after the date of termination.
Director
Compensation
During
2003, directors of Community Capital received $250 for each board meeting
attended and $100 for each committee meeting attended. In April 2004, we
increased the amount that Community Capital directors receive for attending
board meetings to $500 per meeting.
On
May 15, 2003, we granted our Chairman of the Board a non-qualified option to
purchase 285 shares of our common stock and granted every other non-employee
director a non-qualified option to purchase 142 shares of our common stock for
their service as directors during 2002. The options vested immediately on the
grant date, are exercisable at $13.97 per share, and have a maximum term of ten
years from the grant date.
Additionally,
on April 26, 2004, we granted our Chairman of the Board a non-qualified option
to purchase 285 shares of our common stock and granted every other non-employee
director a non-qualified option to purchase 142 shares of our common stock for
their service as directors during 2003. The options vested immediately on the
grant date, are exercisable at $12.00 per share and have a maximum term of ten
years from the grant date.
On
April 26, 2004, our Board of Directors approved, in principle, two deferred
compensation arrangements for directors. Under a deferred fee program, directors
will be permitted to defer up to 100% of their director and committee fees each
year. Under a deferred referral compensation program, directors will be awarded
annual fees for qualified referrals to our subsidiary banks. Under both
programs, the contributions will accrue earnings based on a predetermined
measurement, such as a multiple of our return on assets, established by the
Board on an annual basis. The Board of Directors also approved the use of a
bank-owned life insurance instrument to fund the deferred compensation
arrangements.
We
anticipate that the Board of Directors will approve the final terms of the
proposed deferred director compensation programs and that these plans will be
implemented during the third quarter of 2004.
Directors
of Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan receive $500 for each
board meeting and $100 for each committee meeting they attend.
46
CERTAIN
TRANSACTIONS
From
time to time our directors, officers and their affiliates, including members of
their families or businesses and other organizations with which they are
associated, may have banking transactions in the ordinary course of business
with our subsidiary banks. Our subsidiary banks policies are that any
loans or other transactions with those persons or entities (a) are made in
accordance with applicable law and the banks lending policies,
(b) are made on substantially the same terms, including price, interest
rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other unrelated parties of similar standing, and (c) do
not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features to Community Capital and our subsidiary banks. In addition,
all future transactions with our directors, officers and their affiliates are
intended to be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party, and must be approved by a majority of our directors,
including a majority of the directors who do not have an interest in the
transaction.
Our
Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors have approved the grant, upon
the closing of this offering, to our president, Robert E. Lee, of an option to
purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to 5% of the shares sold
in this offering. The exercise price of the option will equal the closing price
of the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as of the business day
immediately prior to the closing date of the offering. The option will be
granted under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan as of the close of this offering and
will become exercisable in 20% annual increments beginning on the first
anniversary of the closing date. The option will remain exercisable for the
ten-year period following the closing date or for 90 days after the option
holder ceases to be employed by Community Capital, whichever is shorter. The
exercise price of the option will be subject to adjustment for stock splits,
recapitalizations or other similar events.
47
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock
Community
Capitals Articles of Incorporation authorize Community Capital to issue up
to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which up to
1,000,000 shares will be issued pursuant to this offering. As of June 30, 2004,
1,765,264 shares of our common stock were issued and 1,703,705 shares were
outstanding. As of June 30, 2004, 242,935 shares were issuable upon exercise of
outstanding stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $8.94 per
share; 266,135 shares were issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a
weighted average exercise price of $7.00 per share; and 148,315 additional
shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to future grants and awards under our
stock incentive plans. Furthermore, a number of shares equal to 5% of the number
of shares sold in this offering will be subject to an option that we intend to
grant to our president, Robert E. Lee, upon completion of this offering.
This option will be granted under our 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. See
ManagementOption Grant Upon Completion of Offering,
page 41.
All
shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from legally
available funds when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. Upon
liquidation or dissolution of Community Capital, whether voluntary or
involuntary, all shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in all
assets of Community Capital available for distribution to the shareholders. Each
holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share on all
matters submitted to the shareholders. Holders of common stock will not have any
preemptive right to acquire authorized but unissued capital stock of Community
Capital. There is no cumulative voting, redemption right, sinking fund provision
or right of conversion in existence with respect to the common stock. All shares
of the common stock issued in accordance with the terms of the offering as
described in this prospectus will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred
Stock
Community
Capitals Articles of Incorporation also authorize the Board of Directors
to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value not stated. The
Board of Directors has the authority to determine the designations, powers,
preferences and relative rights of the preferred stock. Preferred stock may have
voting rights, subject to applicable law and determination by the Board of
Directors. No preferred stock has been issued. Although Community Capital has no
present plans to issue any preferred stock, the ownership and control of
Community Capital by the holders of the common stock would be diluted if
Community Capital were to issue preferred stock that had voting rights.
48
CERTAIN
PROVISIONS OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Protective
Provisions
General.
Shareholders rights and related matters are governed by the Georgia
Business Corporation Code and Community Capitals Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Community Capital
contain certain provisions which would have the effect of impeding an attempt to
change or remove management of Community Capital or to gain control of Community
Capital in a transaction not supported by its Board of Directors. In general,
one purpose of the protective provisions is to assist our Board of Directors in
playing a role in connection with attempts to acquire control of Community
Capital. The protective provisions allow our Board of Directors to further and
protect the interests of Community Capital and its shareholders as appropriate
under the circumstances, including if the Board of Directors determines that a
sale of control is in the best interests of Community Capital and its
shareholders by enhancing the Boards ability to maximize the value to be
received by the shareholders upon such a sale.
Although
our management believes the protective provisions are beneficial to Community
Capital shareholders, the protective provisions also may tend to discourage some
takeover bids. As a result, Community Capital shareholders may be deprived of
opportunities to sell some or all of their shares at prices that represent a
premium over prevailing market prices. On the other hand, defeating undesirable
acquisition offers can be an expensive and time-consuming process. To the extent
that the protective provisions discourage undesirable proposals, we may be able
to avoid those expenditures of time and money.
The
protective provisions also may discourage open market purchases by a potential
acquirer. Such purchases may increase the market price of Community
Capitals common stock temporarily, enabling shareholders to sell their
shares at a price higher than that which otherwise would prevail. In addition,
the protective provisions may decrease the market price of Community
Capitals common stock by making the common stock less attractive to
persons who invest in securities in anticipation of price increases from
potential acquisition attempts. The protective provisions also may make it more
difficult and time-consuming for a potential acquirer to obtain control of
Community Capital through replacing the Board of Directors and management.
Furthermore, the protective provisions may make it more difficult for Community
Capital shareholders to replace the Board of Directors or management, even if a
majority of the shareholders believes that replacing them would be in the best
interests of Community Capital. As a result, the protective provisions may tend
to perpetuate the incumbent Board of Directors and management.
The
Articles of Incorporation of Community Capital also contain a provision which
eliminates the potential personal liability of directors for monetary damages.
In addition, the Bylaws of Community Capital contain certain provisions which
provide indemnification for our directors. The protective provisions and the
provisions relating to elimination of liability and indemnification of directors
are discussed more fully below.
Preferred
Stock. The existence of preferred stock may impede the takeover of Community
Capital without the approval of our Board of Directors by enabling the Board of
Directors to issue preferred stock to persons friendly to current management,
which could render more difficult or discourage any attempt to gain control of
Community Capital through a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. In
addition, the issuance of preferred stock with voting rights may have an adverse
effect on the rights of the holders of common stock, and in certain
circumstances, such issuances of preferred stock could decrease the market price
of the common stock.
49
Staggered
Terms for Board of Directors. Article 7 of our Articles of Incorporation
provides that our Board of Directors will be divided into three classes. Our
directors serve staggered terms, which means that one-third of the directors
will be elected each year at Community Capitals annual meeting of
shareholders. Each director serves for a term of three years. This means that
unless the existing directors were to resign, it would take at least two annual
meetings of our shareholders to replace a majority of our directors.
Change
in Number of Directors. Article 8 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that
any change in the number of directors of Community Capital, as set forth in our
Bylaws, would have to be made by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the
entire Board of Directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of common stock.
Removal
of Directors. Article 9 of our Articles of Incorporation provides that one or
more of our directors may be removed for cause during their terms only by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of Community Capital entitled to vote in an election of directors.
Article 9 also provides that our directors may be removed during their terms
without cause only by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of
the issued and outstanding shares of Community Capital entitled to vote in an
election of directors.
Supermajority
Voting on Certain Transactions. Under Article 13 of our Articles of
Incorporation, with certain exceptions, any merger or consolidation involving
Community Capital or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of our assets will require the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors
then in office and the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the outstanding shares of common stock. However, if the Board of
Directors has approved the particular transaction by the affirmative vote of
two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Board, then the applicable provisions of Georgia
law would govern and shareholder approval of the transaction would require the
affirmative vote of the holders of only a majority of the outstanding shares of
common stock entitled to vote on the transaction.
Evaluation
of an Acquisition Proposal. Article 14 of our Articles of Incorporation provides
the factors that the Board of Directors shall consider in evaluating whether any
acquisition proposal made by another party is in the best interests of Community
Capital and its shareholders. As used herein, the term acquisition
proposal refers to any offer of another party (1) to make a tender offer
or exchange offer for any equity security of Community Capital, (2) to merge or
consolidate Community Capital with another corporation, or (3) to purchase or
otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets owned by
Community Capital.
Article
14 charges the Board, in evaluating an acquisition proposal, to consider all
relevant factors, including (1) the expected social and economic effects of the
transaction on the employees, customers and other constituents (e.g., suppliers
of goods and services) of Community Capital and the banks, (2) the expected
social and economic effects on the communities within which Community Capital
and the banks operate, and (3) the consideration being offered by the other
corporation in relation (a) to the then current value of Community Capital as
determined by a freely negotiated transaction and (b) to the Board of
Directors then estimate of Community Capitals future value as an
independent entity. The enumerated factors are not exclusive, and the Board may
consider other relevant factors.
This
Article has been included in our Articles of Incorporation because our
subsidiary banks are charged with providing support to and being involved with
the communities they serve. As a result, the Board believes its obligations in
evaluating an acquisition proposal extend beyond evaluating merely the
consideration being offered in relation to the then market value of the common
stock. No provisions of
50
Georgia law
specifically enumerate the factors a corporations board of directors should
consider in the event the corporation is presented with an acquisition proposal.
While
the value of the consideration offered to shareholders is the main factor when
weighing the benefits of an acquisition proposal, the Board believes it
appropriate also to consider all other relevant factors. For example, this
Article directs the Board to evaluate the consideration being offered in
relation to the then current value of Community Capital determined in a freely
negotiated transaction and in relation to the Boards then estimate of the
future value of Community Capital as an independent concern. A takeover bid
often places the target corporation virtually in the position of making a forced
sale, sometimes when the market price of its stock may be depressed. The Board
believes that frequently the consideration offered in such a situation, even
though it may be in excess of the then market value (i.e., the value at which
shares are then currently trading), is less than that which could be obtained in
a freely negotiated transaction. In a freely negotiated transaction, management
would have the opportunity to seek a suitable partner at a time of its choosing
and to negotiate for the most favorable price and terms which reflect not only
the current value, but also the future value of Community Capital.
One
effect of this Article may be to discourage a tender offer in advance. Often an
offeror consults the Board of a target corporation prior to or after commencing
a tender offer in an attempt to prevent a contest from developing. The Board
believes that this provision will strengthen its position in dealing with any
potential offeror which might attempt to acquire Community Capital through a
hostile tender offer. Another effect of this Article may be to dissuade
shareholders who might be displeased with the Boards response to an
acquisition proposal from engaging Community Capital in costly litigation.
Article
14 of our Articles of Incorporation would not make an acquisition proposal
regarded by the Board as being in the best interests of Community Capital more
difficult to accomplish. It would, however, permit the Board to determine that
an acquisition proposal was not in the best interests of Community Capital (and
thus to oppose it) on the basis of the various factors deemed relevant. In some
cases, such opposition by the Board might have the effect of maintaining the
positions of incumbent management.
Indemnification
Our
Bylaws contain certain indemnification provisions which provide that directors,
officers, employees or agents of Community Capital will be indemnified against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if they are successful on the
merits of a claim or proceeding. In addition, the Bylaws provide that Community
Capital will advance to its insiders reasonable expenses of any such proceeding,
provided that such person furnishes Community Capital with (i) a written
affirmation of such persons good faith belief that he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct and (ii) a written undertaking to repay any
advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to
indemnification.
When
a case or dispute is not ultimately determined on its merits (e.g., it is
settled), the indemnification provisions provide that Community Capital will
indemnify insiders when they meet the applicable standard of conduct. The
applicable standard of conduct is met if the insider acted in a manner he or she
in good faith believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
Community Capital and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the
insider had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Whether the applicable standard of conduct has been met is determined by the
Board of Directors, the shareholders or independent legal counsel in each
specific case.
Our
Bylaws also provide that the indemnification rights set forth in our Bylaws are
not exclusive of other indemnification rights to which an insider may be
entitled under any bylaw, resolution or agreement, either specifically or in
general terms approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
51
majority of
the shares entitled to vote. Community Capital can also provide for greater
indemnification than that set forth in our Bylaws if we choose to do so, subject to
approval by our shareholders. Community Capital may not, however, indemnify an insider
for liability arising out of circumstances which constitute exceptions to limitation of
an insiders liability for monetary damages. See Limitation of Liability below.
The
indemnification provisions of our Bylaws specifically provide that we may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity,
whether or not Community Capital would have had the power to indemnify against
such liability.
We
are not aware of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding involving
any of its insiders for which indemnification from Community Capital may be
sought.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Community Capital
pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Community Capital has been
advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities other than the payment by Community Capital of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Community
Capital in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Community Capital will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Limitation
of Liability
Article
11 of our Articles of Incorporation, subject to certain exceptions, eliminates
the potential personal liability of a director for monetary damages to Community
Capital and to our shareholders for breach of a duty as a director. There is no
elimination of liability for (1) a breach of duty involving appropriation of a
business opportunity of Community Capital, (2) an act or omission not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) a
transaction from which the director derives an improper material tangible
personal benefit, or (4) as to any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock
repurchase that is illegal under the Georgia Business Corporation Code. Article
11 does not eliminate or limit the right of Community Capital or our
shareholders to seek injunctive or other equitable relief not involving monetary
damages.
Article
11 was adopted by Community Capital pursuant to the Georgia Business Corporation
Code, which allows Georgia corporations to include in their Articles of
Incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the liability of directors,
except in the circumstances described above. Article 11 was included in our
Articles of Incorporation to encourage qualified individuals to serve and remain
as directors of Community Capital. While we have not experienced any problems in
locating directors, we could experience difficulty in the future as our business
activities increase and diversify. Article 11 was also included to enhance our
ability to secure liability insurance for our directors at a reasonable cost.
Community Capital has obtained liability insurance covering actions taken by its
directors in their capacities as directors. The Board of Directors believes that
Article 11 enabled Community Capital to secure such insurance on terms more
favorable than if such a provision were not included in the Articles of
Incorporation.
52
Amendments
Any
amendment of Articles 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14 of our Articles of Incorporation
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the
outstanding shares of common stock, unless two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Board
of Directors approves the amendment. If two-thirds (2/3) of the Board approves
the amendment, the applicable provisions of Georgia law would govern and the
approval of only a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock would be
required.
53
SUPERVISION
AND REGULATION
Community
Capital and its banking subsidiaries, Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of
Dothan, are subject to extensive state and federal banking regulations that
impose restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight of their
operations. These laws are generally intended to protect depositors and not
shareholders. The following discussion describes the material elements of the
regulatory framework that applies to us.
Community
Capital
Community
Capital is a bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of
1956 and, as a result, is primarily subject to the supervision, examination, and
reporting requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act and the regulations of
the Federal Reserve.
Acquisitions
of Banks. The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to
obtain the Federal Reserves prior approval before:
· |
|
Acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any
bank if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company will directly or
indirectly own or control more than 5% of the banks voting shares; |
· |
|
Acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or |
· |
|
Merging
or consolidating with any other bank holding company. |
Additionally,
the Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve
any of these transactions if it would result in or tend to create a monopoly or
substantially lessen competition or otherwise function as a restraint of trade,
unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly
outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the
community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also required to consider the
financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding
companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to
be served. The Federal Reserves consideration of financial resources
generally focuses on capital adequacy, which is discussed below.
Under
the Bank Holding Company Act, if adequately capitalized and adequately managed,
Community Capital or any other bank holding company located in Georgia or
Alabama may purchase a bank located outside Georgia or Alabama. Conversely, an
adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company located
outside Georgia or Alabama may purchase a bank located inside Georgia or
Alabama. In each case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition of
a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will
result in specified concentrations of deposits. For example, Georgia law
prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring control of a financial
institution until the target financial institution has been incorporated for
three years. Alabama law prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring control
of a financial institution until the target financial institution has been
incorporated for five years. These limitations do not apply to our banking
subsidiaries because they have been in existence for the applicable time
periods.
Change
in Bank Control. Subject to various exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and
the Change in Bank Control Act, together with related regulations, require
Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring
control of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed
to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting
securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist
if a person or company acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of
voting securities and either:
54
· |
|
the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
|
· |
|
no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately
after the transaction. |
Our
common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
regulations provide a procedure for challenging the rebuttable presumption of
control.
Permitted
Activities. Bank holding companies are generally prohibited under the Bank
Holding Company Act from engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of
more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in any activity other
than:
· |
|
banking or managing or controlling banks; and |
· |
|
an
activity that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking
as to be a proper incident to the business of banking. |
Activities
that the Federal Reserve has found to be so closely related to banking as to be
a proper incident to the business of banking include:
· |
|
factoring accounts receivable; |
· |
|
making,
acquiring, brokering or servicing loans and usual related activities; |
· |
|
leasing
personal or real property; |
· |
|
operating
a non-bank depository institution, such as a savings association; |
· |
|
trust
company functions; |
· |
|
financial
and investment advisory activities; |
· |
|
conducting
discount securities brokerage activities; |
· |
|
underwriting
and dealing in government obligations and money market instruments; |
· |
|
providing
specified management consulting and counseling activities; |
· |
|
performing
selected data processing services and support services; |
· |
|
acting
as agent or broker in selling credit life insurance and other types of insurance in
connection with credit transactions; and |
· |
|
performing selected insurance underwriting activities. |
Despite
prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its
subsidiaries to terminate any of these activities or to terminate its ownership
or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that the
bank holding companys continued ownership, activity or control constitutes
a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of it or any of
its bank subsidiaries.
Generally,
if Community Capital qualifies and elects to become a financial holding company,
it may engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental or
complementary to financial activity. The Bank Holding Company Act expressly
lists the following activities as financial in nature:
55
· |
|
lending, trust and other banking activities; |
· |
|
insuring,
guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss or harm or providing and issuing
annuities and acting as principal, agent, or broker for these purposes, in any
state; |
· |
|
providing financial, investment, or advisory services; |
· |
|
issuing
or selling instruments representing interests in pools of assets permissible for
a bank to hold directly; |
· |
|
underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities; |
· |
|
other activities that the Federal Reserve may determine to be so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to managing or controlling banks; |
· |
|
foreign activities permitted outside of the United States if the Federal Reserve
has determined them to be usual in connection with banking operations abroad; |
· |
|
merchant banking through securities or insurance affiliates; and |
· |
|
insurance company portfolio investments. |
To
qualify to become a financial holding company, each depository institution
subsidiary of Community Capital must be well capitalized and well managed and
must have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least satisfactory.
Additionally, Community Capital must file an election with the Federal Reserve
to become a financial holding company and must provide the Federal Reserve with
30 days written notice prior to engaging in a permitted financial
activity. Although we are eligible to elect to become a financial holding
company, we currently have no plans to make such an election.
Support
of Subsidiary Institutions. Under Federal Reserve policy, Community Capital is
expected to act as a source of financial strength to its banking subsidiaries
and to commit resources to support the banks. This support may be required at
times when, without this Federal Reserve policy, Community Capital might not be
inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans made by Community Capital
to its banking subsidiaries will be repaid only after its deposits and various
other obligations are repaid in full. In the unlikely event of Community
Capitals bankruptcy, any commitment by it to a federal bank regulatory
agency to maintain the capital of Albany Bank & Trust or First Bank of
Dothan will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of
payment.
Our Banking
Subsidiaries
Since
Albany Bank & Trust is chartered as a national bank, it is primarily subject
to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the National Bank
Act and the regulations of the OCC. The OCC regularly examines Albany Bank &
Trusts operations and has the authority to approve or disapprove mergers,
the establishment of branches and similar corporate actions. The OCC also has
the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or unsound banking
practices or other violations of law.
Since
First Bank of Dothan is chartered under the laws of the State of Alabama, it is
primarily subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of
the FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department. The FDIC and the Alabama
State Banking Department regularly examine First Bank of Dothans
operations and have the authority to approve or disapprove mergers, the
establishment of branches and similar corporate actions. Both regulatory
agencies have the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or
unsound banking practices or other violations of law.

Additionally,
Albany Bank & Trusts and First Bank of Dothans deposits are
insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. The banks are also
subject to numerous state and federal statutes and regulations that affect their
business, activities and operations.
Memorandum
of Understanding. On January 9, 2003, prior to its acquisition by Community
Capital, First Bank of Dothan entered a Memorandum of Understanding with the
FDIC and the Alabama State Banking Department primarily regarding First Bank of
Dothans lending practices. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding,
First Bank of Dothan has designated a qualified chief lending officer, developed
a definitive and strengthened loan review and grading program, reduced the
balance of its assets classified as substandard and doubtful, and implemented an
amended written loan policy and exception procedures and reporting. Under the
terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan is required to
maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 8% and may not pay any
cash dividends without the written prior consent of the FDIC and the Alabama
State Banking Department. We believe First Bank of Dothan complied with the
terms of the Memorandum of Understanding and plan to request that it be
terminated.
Branching.
National banks are required by the National Bank Act to adhere to branching laws
applicable to state banks in the states in which they are located. Under current
Georgia law, Albany Bank & Trust may open branch offices throughout Georgia
with the prior approval of the OCC. In addition, with prior regulatory approval,
Albany Bank & Trust may acquire branches of existing banks located in
Georgia. Albany Bank & Trust and any other national or state-chartered bank
generally may branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if
allowed by the applicable states laws. Georgia law, with limited
exceptions, currently permits branching across state lines through interstate
mergers.
Under
current Alabama law, First Bank of Dothan may open branch offices throughout
Alabama with the prior approval of the Alabama State Banking Department. In
addition, with prior regulatory approval, First Bank of Dothan may acquire
branches of existing banks located in Alabama. First Bank of Dothan and any
other national or state-chartered bank generally may branch across state lines
by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states
laws. Alabama law, with limited exceptions, currently permits branching across
state lines through interstate mergers.
Under
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, states may opt-in and allow
out-of-state banks to branch into their state by establishing a new start-up
branch in the state. Currently, neither Georgia nor Alabama has opted-in to this
provision. Therefore, interstate merger is the only method through which a bank
located outside of these states may branch into either of these states. This
provides a limited barrier of entry into the Georgia and Alabama banking
markets, which protects us from an important segment of potential competition.
However, because Georgia and Alabama have elected not to opt-in, our ability to
establish a new start-up branch in another state may be limited. Many states
that have elected to opt-in have done so on a reciprocal basis, meaning that an
out-of-state bank may establish a new start-up branch only if their home state
has also elected to opt-in. Consequently, until Georgia or Alabama changes its
election, the only way we will be able to branch into states that have elected
to opt-in on a reciprocal basis will be through interstate merger.
Prompt
Corrective Action. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of
undercapitalized financial institutions. Under this system, the federal banking
regulators have established five capital categories (well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized) in which all institutions are placed. Federal
banking regulators are required to take various mandatory supervisory actions
and are authorized to take other discretionary actions with respect to
institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the
action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed.
Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the
57
banking
regulator must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically
undercapitalized. The federal banking agencies have specified by regulation the relevant
capital level for each category. At June 30, 2004, we qualified for the well
capitalized category.
An
institution that is categorized as undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an
acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. A
bank holding company must guarantee that a subsidiary depository institution
meets its capital restoration plan, subject to various limitations. The
controlling holding companys obligation to fund a capital restoration plan
is limited to the lesser of 5% of an undercapitalized subsidiarys assets
at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount required to meet regulatory
capital requirements. An undercapitalized institution is also generally
prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions,
establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under
an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval. The regulations also
establish procedures for downgrading an institution to a lower capital category
based on supervisory factors other than capital.
FDIC
Insurance Assessments. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system for
insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable
to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities. The system
assigns an institution to one of three capital categories: (1) well capitalized;
(2) adequately capitalized; and (3) undercapitalized. These three categories are
substantially similar to the prompt corrective action categories described
above, with the undercapitalized category including institutions
that are undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically
undercapitalized for prompt corrective action purposes. The FDIC also assigns an
institution to one of three supervisory subgroups based on a supervisory
evaluation that the institutions primary federal regulator provides to the
FDIC and information that the FDIC determines to be relevant to the
institutions financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit
insurance funds. Assessments range from 0 to 27 cents per $100 of deposits,
depending on the institutions capital group and supervisory subgroup. In
addition, the FDIC imposes assessments to help pay off the $780 million in
annual interest payments on the $8 billion Financing Corporation bonds issued in
the late 1980s as part of the government rescue of the thrift industry. This
assessment rate is adjusted quarterly and is set at 1.54 cents per $100 of
deposits for the third quarter of 2004.
The
FDIC may terminate its insurance of deposits if it finds that the institution
has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound
condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law,
regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC.
Community
Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection
with examinations of financial institutions within their respective
jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, or the OCC shall evaluate the
record of each financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local
community, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. These facts are also
considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a
branch or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could impose
additional requirements and limitations on Albany Bank & Trust and First
Bank of Dothan. Since our aggregate assets are not more than $250 million, under
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, we are subject to a Community Reinvestment Act
examination only once every 60 months if we receive an outstanding
rating, once every 48 months if we receive a satisfactory rating and
as needed if our rating is less than satisfactory. Additionally, we
must publicly disclose the terms of various Community Reinvestment Act-related
agreements.
Other
Regulations. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Albany
Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are subject to state usury laws and
federal laws concerning interest rates. For example, under the Soldiers
and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940, a lender is generally prohibited
from charging an annual interest rate in excess of 6% on any obligation for
which the borrower is a
58
person on
active duty with the United States military. Albany Bank & Trusts and First
Bank of Dothans loan operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to
credit transactions, such as the:
· |
|
federal Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer
borrowers; |
· |
|
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to
provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine
whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the
housing needs of the community it serves; |
· |
|
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race,
creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit; |
· |
|
Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of
information to credit reporting agencies; |
· |
|
Fair
Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by
collection agencies; |
· |
|
Soldiers and
Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940, governing the repayment terms of, and property
rights underlying, secured obligations of persons in military service; and |
· |
|
rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the
responsibility of implementing these federal laws. |
In
addition to the federal and state laws noted above, the Georgia Fair Lending Act
(GAFLA) imposes restrictions and procedural requirements on most
mortgage loans made in Georgia, including home equity loans and lines of credit.
On August 5, 2003, the OCC issued a formal opinion stating that the entirety of
GAFLA is preempted by federal law for national banks and their operating
subsidiaries. As a result, Albany Bank & Trust is exempt from the
requirements of GAFLA. GAFLA contains a provision that preempts GAFLA as to
state banks in the event that the OCC preempts GAFLA as to national banks.
Therefore, First Bank of Dothan is also exempt from the requirements of GAFLA.
The
deposit operations of Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are
subject to:
· |
|
The Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain
confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for
complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records; and |
· |
|
The Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve
to implement that act, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from
deposit accounts and customers rights and liabilities arising from the use
of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services. |
Capital
Adequacy
Community
Capital and our subsidiary banks are required to comply with the capital
adequacy standards established by federal regulators. Community Capital is
required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the
Federal Reserve. Albany Bank & Trust is required to comply with the capital
adequacy standards established by the OCC. First Bank of Dothan is required to
comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the FDIC. The Federal
Reserve has established a risk-based and a leverage measure of capital adequacy
for bank holding companies. Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are
subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements adopted by the OCC and
the FDIC, respectively, which are substantially similar to those adopted by the
Federal Reserve for bank
59
holding
companies. Under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 9, 2003,
First Bank of Dothan is required to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not
less than 8%. See BusinessLending ServicesMemorandum of Understanding, page 36.
The
risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank
holding companies, to account for off-balance-sheet exposure, and to minimize
disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance-sheet items,
such as letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, are assigned to broad
risk categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital
ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and
off-balance-sheet items.
The
minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%.
Total capital consists of two components, Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital.
Tier 1 Capital generally consists of common stock, minority interests in the
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock, and a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock,
less goodwill and other specified intangible assets. Tier 1 Capital must equal
at least 4% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 2 Capital generally consists of
subordinated debt, other preferred stock, and a limited amount of loan loss
reserves. The total amount of Tier 2 Capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1
Capital. At June 30, 2004 our ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
was 13.65% and our ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.97%.
In
addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines
for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier
1 Capital to average assets, less goodwill and other specified intangible
assets, of 3% for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria, including
having the highest regulatory rating and implementing the Federal Reserves
risk-based capital measure for market risk. All other bank holding companies
generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%. At June 30,
2004, our leverage ratio was 8.78%. The guidelines also provide that bank
holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be
expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum
supervisory levels without reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve
considers the leverage ratio and other indicators of capital strength in
evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
Failure
to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank or bank holding company to a
variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the
termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting
brokered deposits, and certain other restrictions on its business. As described
above, significant additional restrictions can be imposed on FDIC-insured
depository institutions that fail to meet applicable capital requirements. See
Prompt Corrective Action above.
Payment of
Dividends
Community
Capital is a legal entity separate and distinct from Albany Bank & Trust and
First Bank of Dothan. The principal sources of Community Capitals cash
flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to its shareholders, are dividends
that Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan pay to their sole
shareholder, Community Capital. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to
Albany Bank & Trusts and First Bank of Dothans payment of
dividends to Community Capital as well as to Community Capitals payment of
dividends to its shareholders.
Albany
Bank & Trust is required by federal law to obtain prior approval of the OCC
for payments of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by our board of
directors in any year will exceed (1) the total of Albany Bank &
Trusts net profits for that year, plus (2) Albany Bank &
Trusts retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any required
transfers to surplus.
60
Under
the terms of its Memorandum of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan may not pay
cash any dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Alabama
State Banking Department. See BusinessLending
ServicesMemorandum of Understanding, page 36. Absent the Memorandum
of Understanding, First Bank of Dothan may not declare or pay a dividend in
excess of 90% of its net earnings until First Bank of Dothans surplus is
equal to 20% of its capital. First Bank of Dothan is also required by state law
to obtain prior approval of the Alabama State Banking Department for payments of
dividends if the total of all dividends in any year will exceed (1) the total of
First Bank of Dothans net earnings for that year, plus (2) First Bank of
Dothans retained net earnings for the preceding two years, less any
required transfers to surplus.
The
payment of dividends by Community Capital, Albany Bank & Trust and First
Bank of Dothan may also be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to
maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. If, in the opinion of its
federal bank regulatory agency, Albany Bank & Trust or First Bank and Dothan
were engaged in or about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice, the federal
bank regulatory agency could require, after notice and a hearing, that the bank
stop or refrain engaging in the practice. The federal bank regulatory agencies
have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository
institutions capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and
unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividend if
payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is
undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements
that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only
pay dividends out of current operating earnings. See Prompt
Corrective Action above.
Restrictions
on Transactions with Affiliates
Community
Capital, Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are subject to the
provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A places limits
on the amount of:
· |
|
A banks loans or extensions of credit to affiliates; |
· |
|
A banks
investment in affiliates; |
· |
|
Assets a bank may purchase from affiliates, except for real and personal
property exempted by the Federal Reserve; |
· |
|
Loans or extensions of credit to
third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates; and
|
· |
|
A banks guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of an
affiliate. |
The
total amount of the above transactions is limited in amount, as to any one
affiliate, to 10% of a banks capital and surplus and, as to all affiliates
combined, to 20% of a banks capital and surplus. In addition to the
limitation on the amount of these transactions, each of the above transactions
must also meet specified collateral requirements. Albany Bank & Trust and
First Bank of Dothan must also comply with other provisions designed to avoid
the taking of low-quality assets.
Community
Capital, Albany Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are also subject to
the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other
things, prohibit an institution from engaging in the above transactions with
affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at
least as favorable to the institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing
at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.
61
Albany
Bank & Trust and First Bank of Dothan are also subject to restrictions on
extensions of credit to its executive officers, directors, principal
shareholders and their related interests. These extensions of credit
(1) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
third parties, and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of
repayment or present other unfavorable features.
Privacy
Financial
institutions are required to disclose their policies for collecting and
protecting confidential information. Customers generally may prevent financial
institutions from sharing nonpublic personal financial information with
nonaffiliated third parties except under narrow circumstances, such as the
processing of transactions requested by the consumer or when the financial
institution is jointly sponsoring a product or service with a nonaffiliated
third party. Additionally, financial institutions generally may not disclose
consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for use in
telemarketing, direct mail marketing or other marketing to consumers.
Consumer
Credit Reporting
On
December 4, 2003, the President signed the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
Act (the FAIR Act), amending the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (the FCRA).
These amendments to the FCRA that would place additional requirements on our
business will become effective later in 2004, depending on implementing
regulations to be issued by the Federal Trade Commission and the federal bank
regulatory agencies.
The
FCRA Amendments include, among other things:
· |
|
new requirements for financial institutions to develop policies and procedures
to identify potential identity theft and, upon the request of a consumer, place
a fraud alert in the consumers credit file stating that the consumer may
be the victim of identity theft or other fraud; |
· |
|
new consumer notice requirements for lenders that use consumer report
information in connection with risk-based credit pricing programs; |
· |
|
for entities that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies (which
includes our banking subsidiaries) , new requirements to implement procedures
and policies regarding the accuracy and integrity of the furnished information,
and regarding the correction of previously furnished information that is later
determined to be inaccurate; and |
· |
|
a new requirement for mortgage lenders to disclose credit scores to consumers. |
Prior
to the effective date of the FCRA Amendments, Community Capital and its affected
subsidiaries will implement policies and procedures to comply with the new
rules.
The
FCRA Amendments also will prohibit a business that receives consumer information
from an affiliate from using that information for marketing purposes unless the
consumer is first provided a notice and an opportunity to direct the business
not to use the information for such marketing purposes (the
opt-out), subject to certain exceptions. Community Capital and its
subsidiaries also will implement procedures to comply with these new rules prior
to the effective date of the rules. We do not plan to share consumer information
among our affiliated companies for marketing purposes, except as may be allowed
62
under
exceptions to the notice and opt-out requirements. This will limit the Community Capitals
cross-marketing possibilities as compared to prior years.
Anti-Terrorism
Legislation
The
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001, signed by the
President on October 26, 2001, imposed new requirements and limitations on
specified financial transactions and account relationships, intended to guard
against money laundering and terrorism. Most of these requirements and
limitations took effect in 2002. Additional know your customer rules
became effective in June 2003, requiring our banking subsidiaries to establish a
customer identification program under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act.
Community Capital and its subsidiaries implemented procedures and policies to
comply with those rules prior to the effective date of each of the rules.
Proposed
Legislation and Regulatory Action
New
regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging
proposals for altering the structures, regulations and competitive relationships
of financial institutions operating and doing business in the United States. We
cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will
be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new
regulation or statute.
Effect of
Governmental Monetary Policies
Our
earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal
Reserve Banks monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to
have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through
its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to
curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal
Reserve affect the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its
control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation
of the discount rate applicable to member banks and its influence over reserve
requirements to which member banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or
impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.
63
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are offering 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at the public offering price
set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Community Capitals common
stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol
ALBY. On August 13, 2004, the closing price of the common stock was
$11.00 per share.
We
have entered into a Selling Agency Agreement with FIG Partners, L.L.C., under
which FIG Partners, as underwriter, has agreed, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the agreement, to sell up to 1,000,000 shares of our
common stock on a best efforts basis. The underwriter has not agreed and is not
obligated to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares. For its
services, we have agreed to pay the underwriter a sales commission equal to
6.25% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares it actually sells in the
offering. No commission, however, will be paid on shares having an aggregate
value up to $2,500,000 which are sold to our directors and officers and other
individuals identified by our directors and officers to the underwriter. We also
will reimburse the underwriter for its costs and expenses in connection with the
offering, including fees of the underwriters legal counsel, travel and
out-of-pocket expenses associated with the offering, up to an amount not to
exceed $45,000 without our prior approval. Additionally, we will pay without
limitation all counsel fees and disbursements associated with state securities
filings. We have also agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain
liabilities that it might incur in connection with the offering, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable securities
laws and regulations, or contribute to payments the underwriter may be required
to make with respect to these liabilities.
The
underwriter has informed us that it proposes to sell the common stock for us,
subject to prior sale, when, as, and if issued by us, in part to the public at
the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and, in
part, through certain selected dealers who are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and to customers of such selected
dealers at the public offering price. Each selected dealer will receive a
commission of $____ for each share that it sells. The underwriter reserves the
right to reject any order for the purchase of common stock through it in whole
or in part, except orders for shares having an aggregate value of up to
$2,500,000 which are received from individuals identified by our directors and
officers to the underwriter and are otherwise in compliance with applicable law.
The
public offering price will be determined through negotiations between us and the
underwriter. A variety of factors will be considered in determining the price,
including the trading history of our common stock (including the frequency and
volume of trades and actual trading prices); our history and prospects; our past
and present earnings and our prospects for future earnings; the current
performance and prospects of the banking industry in general and the banking
markets in which we compete; and the general condition of the securities markets
and the prices of equity securities of comparable companies.
The
offering is not contingent upon the sale of a minimum or maximum number or
dollar amount of shares. We expect to deliver the shares to purchasers on or
about ______, 2004, upon receipt of the purchase price of the shares and subject
to customary closing conditions.
We
will pay our own expenses incurred in connection with the offering, including
legal, accounting, printing and mailing expenses, other solicitation expenses,
filing fees and expenses associated with qualifying the common stock for sale
under state securities laws. We expect that all those expenses will amount to
approximately $153,000, excluding sales commissions, and we will pay those
expenses from the sales proceeds. If we withdraw the offering or if no shares of
our common stock are sold, offering expenses will be charged against our
earnings.
64
For
a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus, we have agreed that we
will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, offer, sell or
otherwise dispose, directly or indirectly, of any shares of our common stock,
subject to certain exceptions.
The
underwriter has advised us that it may make a market in our common stock. The
underwriter, however, is not obligated to make a market in the common stock. It
also may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.
The
underwriter provides investment banking services to us from time to time in the
ordinary course of its business.

AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board
of Directors
Community Capital Bancshares, Inc.
Albany, Georgia
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income,
stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys 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 of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community Capital
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) is a multi-bank holding company whose
principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned bank
subsidiaries, Albany Bank and Trust, N.A (Albany Bank) and First Bank of
Dothan, Inc. (Dothan Bank), collectively referred to as the Banks. Albany
Banks main office is located in Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia, with one loan
production office in Albany and one full service branch in Lee County, Georgia. Dothan
Bank is located in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama. The Banks provide a full range of
banking services to individual and corporate customers in their primary market areas of
Dougherty and Lee Counties, Georgia and Houston County, Alabama. |
|
|
Basis
of Presentation and Accounting Estimates |
|
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. |
|
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. |
|
Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate
and intangible assets and contingent assets and liabilities. The determination of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are susceptible to
significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection
with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and the valuation of foreclosed
real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.
Intangible assets, primarily goodwill and core deposit premiums, are evaluated annually
for impairment. |
|
|
Cash, Due from Banks and Cash Flows |
|
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand, cash
items in process of collection and amounts due from banks. Cash flows from loans,
federal funds sold, federal funds purchased and deposits are reported net. |
|
The
Company is required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal
Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The total of those reserve balances was
approximately $359,000 and $272,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
F-9
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. |
|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
|
All
debt securities are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect.
Equity securities, including restricted equity securities, without a readily
determinable fair value are classified as available for sale and recorded at
cost. |
|
The
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income
using methods approximating the interest method over the life of the securities.
Realized gains and losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities
sold, are included in earnings on the settlement date. Declines in the fair value of
available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than
temporary will be reflected in earnings as realized losses. There have been no declines
in fair value that have been deemed to be other than temporary as of December 31, 2003. |
|
Loans
are reported at their outstanding principal balances less unearned income, net deferred
fees, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the outstanding
principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs,
are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield over the life of
the loan using a method which approximates a level yield. |
|
The
accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in managements opinion, the
borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due, unless the loan is
well-secured. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on
nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income, unless management
believes that the accrued interest is recoverable through the liquidation of collateral.
Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized on the cash-basis or cost-recovery
method, until the loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual
status when all the principal and interest amounts are brought current and future
payments are reasonably assured. |
|
A
loan is considered impaired when it is probable, based on current information and
events, the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured
by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any,
and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. Interest on
accruing impaired loans is recognized as long as such loans do not meet the criteria for
nonaccrual status. |
|
|
Allowance
for Loan Losses |
|
The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to
expense. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the
allowance. |
F-10
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. |
|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
|
|
Allowance
for Loan Losses (Continued) |
|
The
allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated
losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses
inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the
collectibility of existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes
into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, concentrations
and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to pay. This
evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups
of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions.
While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future
adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in
economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance for loan losses, and
may require the Banks to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about
information available to them at the time of their examinations. |
|
The
allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to
loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such
loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the
discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative
factors, including an unallocated component maintained to cover uncertainties that could
affect managements estimate of probable losses. This unallocated component of the
allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used
in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. |
|
Land
is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. |
|
Other
real estate owned represents properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure
and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to
sell. Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to other real estate owned is
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs of improvements are capitalized, whereas
costs relating to holding other real estate owned and subsequent adjustments to the
value are expensed. The carrying amount of other real estate owned at December 31, 2003
and 2002 was $863,571 and $163,964, respectively. |

|
|
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets |
|
Goodwill
represents the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of the net assets purchased
in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested annually for impairment, or
whenever events occur that may indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount
is not probable. In the event of an impairment the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value will be charged to earnings. The Company will perform its annual
test of impairment in the third quarter of 2004 to determine if there is any impairment
of the carrying value. |
|
Intangible
assets consist of core deposit premiums acquired in connection with the business
combinations. The core deposit premium was initially recognized based on an estimate of
value performed as of the consummation date. The core deposit premium is initially being
amortized over the average remaining life of the acquired customer deposits, or 8 years.
Amortization periods will be reviewed annually in connection with an annual evaluation
of the intangibles. |
|
Once
the final valuation is obtained, goodwill, intangibles assets and the fair value of
certain assets and liabilities will be adjusted accordingly. This should occur during
the first quarter of 2004. |
|
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under
this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax
effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various
balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax
rates and laws. |
|
The
Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more
fully in Note 11. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in
net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the
market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. |

Options
to purchase 27,131 shares of common stock at $13.97 per share were outstanding during
the second half of 2003 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because
the options exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
shares. The options, which expire on May 15, 2013, were still outstanding at the end of
year 2003. |
|
Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing
net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of stock
options. |
|
Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be
included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate
component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income,
are components of comprehensive income. |

In
November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and a
rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34". The interpretation elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements
about its obligations under guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is
required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing a guarantee. The initial recognition and initial
measurement provisions of the interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements in the interpretation are
effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December
15, 2002. The adoption of the interpretation did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial condition or results of operations. |
|
In
December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123".
The Statement amends Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the statement
amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures
in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based compensation and the effect on reported results of operations. The
disclosure requirements of the statement are required for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company has
not adopted Statement No. 123 for accounting for stock-based compensation as of December
31, 2003; however all required disclosures of Statement No. 148 are included above under
the heading Stock-Based Compensation. |
|
In
January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51, and on December 24, 2003, the
FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities which replaced FIN 46. The interpretation addresses
consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. A variable interest
entity is defined as an entity subject to consolidation according to the provisions of
the interpretation. The revised interpretation provided for special effective dates for
entities that had fully or partially applied the original interpretation as of December
24, 2003. Otherwise, application of the interpretation is required in financial
statements of public entities that have interests in special-purpose entities, or SPEs,
for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than
small business issuers, for all other types of variable interest entities (i.e.,
non-SPEs) is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004.
Application by small business issuers to variable interest entities other than SPEs and
by nonpublic entities to all types of variable interest entities is required at various
dates in 2004 and 2005. The interpretations have not had a material effect on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations. |

In
May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. The statement
establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial
instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The statement requires
that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability.
Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. The statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and
otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June
15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic
entities. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities are subject
to the provisions of the statement for the first fiscal period beginning after December
15, 2003. The adoption of the statement did not have a material effect on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations. |

BUSINESS COMBINATION |

On
November 11, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of the
Dothan Bank in exchange for cash and the Companys common stock. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase transaction; consequently, the results of operations of
the Dothan Bank have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the
date of acquisition. The Dothan Bank is a full service commercial bank located in
Dothan, Alabama. The Bank operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The
aggregate purchase price was $5,004,000 which included cash of $1,872,000 and 215,989
shares of the Companys common stock valued at $3,132,000. |

GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES |
|
In
March 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business
trust, Community Capital Statutory Trust I (Statutory Trust I),
which issued $4,000,000 of guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the
Companys junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the
Trust Preferred Securities). These debentures qualify as Tier I
capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common securities of
Statutory Trust I are owned by the Company. The proceeds from the issuance of
the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities were used by Community
Capital Statutory Trust I to purchase $4,124,000 of junior subordinated
debentures of the Company, which carry a floating rate based on a three-month
LIBOR plus 315 basis points. The debentures represent the sole asset of
Statutory Trust I. The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions
at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 315 basis points per annum of the
stated liquidation value of $1,000 per capital security. The Company has entered
into contractual arrangements which, taken collectively, fully and
unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions
required to be paid on the Trust Preferred Securities; (ii) the redemption price
with respect to any Trust Preferred Securities called for redemption by
Statutory Trust I and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, winding up or liquidation of Statutory Trust II. The Trust
Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures
in March 2033, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The
Company has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by Statutory Trust I in
whole or in part, on or after March 26, 2008. As specified in the indenture, if
the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the
principal amount, plus any unpaid accrued interest. |
|
The
Company will be required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46 in the first quarter of 2004,
and may be required to deconsolidate the trust subsidiary. The adoption of FIN 46 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. |
NOTE 10. |
|
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
|
The
Company has a 401(k) Employee Profit-Sharing Plan available to all eligible employees,
subject to certain minimum age and service requirements. The contributions expensed were
$57,584 and $43,425 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. |
NOTE 11. |
|
STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS |
|
The
Company has a 1998 stock option plan reserving 325,000 shares of common stock
for the granting of options to directors, officers and employees. Option prices
reflect the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the dates
the options are granted. The options may be exercised over a period of ten years
in accordance with vesting schedules determined by the Board of Directors. |
|
Warrant
Agreements with each of Community Capitals Directors. On March 11,
1999, Community Capital issued its directors warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 302,420 shares of Community Capitals common stock at $7.00 per share,
as adjusted to reflect Community Capitals ten-for-seven stock split
effective in January 2001. The warrants become exercisable in 20% annual
increments beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance date. Exercisable
warrants will remain exercisable for the ten-year period following the date of
issuance or for 90 days after the warrant holder ceases to be a director of
Community Capital, whichever is shorter. The exercise price of each warrant is
subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations or other similar
events. Additionally, if the Banks capital falls below the minimum level,
as determined by the Officer of the Comptroller of the Currency, Community
Capital may be directed to exercise or forfeit their warrants. At December 31,
2003 and 2002, there were 276,778 and 302,420 warrants outstanding,
respectively. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
|
The
Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. |
|
The
Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as
it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Companys
commitments is as follows: |
|
2003
|
|
2002
|
Commitments to extend credit |
|
$13,229,000 |
|
$11,657,375 |

Standby letters of credit | |

|

$11,799,605 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment
of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Company upon extension of credit, is based on managements credit
evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts
receivable, crops, livestock, inventory, property and equipment, residential
real estate and income-producing commercial properties. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) |
|
Loan
Commitments (Continued) |
|
Standby
letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to
support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to
customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which
the Company deems necessary. |
|
At
December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying amount of liabilities related to the Companys
obligation to perform under standby letters of credit was insignificant. The Company has
not been required to perform on any standby letters of credit, and the Company has not
incurred any losses on standby letters of credit for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002. |
|
In
the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In
the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have
a material adverse effect on the Companys financial statements. |
NOTE
15. |
|
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT |
|
Concentration
by Geographic Location: |
|
The
Company originates primarily commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate
and consumer loans to customers in Dougherty and Lee Counties (Georgia) and Houston
County (Alabama) and surrounding counties. The ability of the majority of the Companys
customers to honor their contractual obligations is dependent on the local and
metropolitan Albany, Georgia and Dothan, Alabama economies. |
|
Sixty-six
percent of the Companys loan portfolio is concentrated in loans secured by real
estate. A substantial portion of these loans are in the Companys primary market
areas. In addition, a substantial portion of the other real estate owned is located in
those same markets. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the Companys loan
portfolio and recovery of the carrying amount of other real estate owned are susceptible
to changes in market conditions in the Companys market areas. The other
significant concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4. |
|
The
Company, as a matter of policy, does not generally extend credit to any single borrower
or group of related borrowers in excess of 15% of each Banks statutory capital, or
approximately $2,050,000 for Albany Bank and $750,000 for Dothan Bank. |

|
REGULATORY MATTERS |
|
The
Banks are subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be
declared without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2003, approximately
$1,788,000 of retained earnings were available for dividend declaration without
regulatory approval. |
|
The
Company and Banks 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Company and Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Companys and Banks assets, liabilities,
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. 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
Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
capital to risk-weighted assets, as defined and of Tier I capital to average
assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2003, the Company and the Banks
met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. |
|
As
of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification from the regulators
categorized Albany Bank and Dothan Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Banks categories. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable
to bank holding companies. |

Company and Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
|
The
fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be
exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair
value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many
instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Companys various
financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value is based on discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques.
These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including
the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair
value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the
instrument. SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value
of the Company. |
|
The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
fair value of its financial instruments: |
|
Cash,
Due From Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits at Other Financial Institutions and
Federal Funds Sold: The carrying amount of cash, due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions and federal funds sold
approximates fair value. |
|
Securities:
Fair value of securities is based on available quoted market prices. The
carrying amount of equity securities with no readily determinable fair value
approximates fair value. |
|
Loans:
The carrying amount of variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have
no significant change in credit risk approximates fair value. The fair value of
fixed-rate loans is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows, using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
with similar credit quality. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated based
on discounted contractual cash flows or underlying collateral values, where
applicable. |

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE

|
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) |
|
Deposits:
The carrying amount of demand deposits, savings deposits, and variable-rate
certificates of deposit approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate
certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows
using interest rates currently being offered for certificates of similar
maturities. |
|
Federal
Funds Purchased, Other Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures: The carrying
amount of variable rate borrowings and federal funds purchased approximate fair
value. The fair value of fixed rate other borrowings are estimated based
on discounted contractual cash flows using the current incremental borrowing
rates for similar type borrowing arrangements. |
|
Accrued
Interest: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates their fair value. |
|
Off-Balance-Sheet
Instruments: The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the
off-balance-sheet financial instruments is based on fees charged to enter into
such agreements. |

The
carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Companys financial instruments

Note 1.
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of
Business
Community
Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) is a multi-bank holding
company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its
wholly-owned bank subsidiaries, Albany Bank and Trust, N.A (Albany
Bank) and First Bank of Dothan, Inc. (Dothan Bank),
collectively referred to as the Banks. Albany Banks main
office is located in Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia, with one full service
branch and one loan production office in Albany and one full service branch in
Lee County, Georgia. Dothan Bank is located in Dothan, Houston County, Alabama.
The Banks provide a full range of banking services to individual and corporate
customers in their primary market areas of Dougherty and Lee Counties, Georgia
and Houston County, Alabama.
Basis of
Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated
in consolidation.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination
of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and
deferred taxes.
The
interim financial statements included herein are unaudited but reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim
period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of a full years operations, and
should be read in conjunction with the Companys annual report as filed on
Form 10-KSB.
The
accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these
principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry.
Income Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method.
Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based
on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis
of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current
recognition to changes in the tax rates and laws.
The
Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return. Each entity
provides for income taxes based on its contribution to the income taxes
(benefits) of the consolidated group.
F-36
Stock
Compensation Plans
At
June 30, 2004, the Company had two stock-based employee compensation plans,
which are described in more detail in the 2003 annual report. The Company
accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those
plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on
the date of grant. In addition, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure in December 2002.
SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity
that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of
SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net
income of an entitys accounting policy decisions with respect to
stock-based employee compensation. The Company has not elected to adopt the
recognition provisions of this Statement for stock-based employee compensation
and has elected to continue with accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25 as
permitted by SFAS No. 123.

Accounting
Standards
In
January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 and, on
December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December
2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities which replaced
FIN 46. The interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is defined as an entity
subject to consolidation according to the provisions of the interpretation. The
revised interpretation provided for special effective dates for entities that
had fully or partially applied the original interpretation as of December 24,
2003. Otherwise, application of the interpretation is required in financial
statements of public entities that have interests in special-purpose entities,
or SPEs, for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public
entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of variable
interest entities (i.e., non-SPEs) is required in financial statements for
periods ending after March 15, 2004. Application by small business issuers to
F-37
variable interest entities other than SPEs and by nonpublic entities to all
types of variable interest entities is required at various dates in 2004 and
2005. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46 as of January 1, 2004. As
required by the provisions of the Interpretation, the Company deconsolidated its
investment in its subsidiary trust which issued subordinated trust preferred
securities. The adoption of FIN 46 and related provisions had the effect of
increasing assets by $124,000 and liabilities by the same amount. The adoption
of the provisions had no effect on net income.

PART
II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Consistent
with the applicable provisions of the laws of Georgia, the Registrants
bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify directors, officers, employees
or agents of the Registrant (collectively, the insiders) against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them if they are successful on the
merits or otherwise in the defense of a claim or proceeding. With respect to a
claim or proceeding in which an insider is not successful on the merits or
otherwise, the indemnification provisions provide that the Registrant will
indemnify insiders who meet the applicable standard of conduct. The applicable
standard of conduct is met if the insider acted in a manner he or she in good
faith believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the insider had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Whether the
applicable standard of conduct has been met is determined by the Board of
Directors, the shareholders or independent legal counsel in each specific case.
The
Registrant will make advances against expenses, so long as the insider seeking
indemnification provides a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct and agrees to refund
the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to
indemnification.
The
bylaws of the Registrant also provide that the indemnification rights set forth
in the bylaws are not exclusive of other indemnification rights to which an
insider may be entitled under any bylaw, resolution or agreement, either
specifically or in general terms approved by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the shares entitled to vote. The Registrant can also provide
for greater indemnification than that set forth in the bylaws if it chooses to
do so, subject to approval by the Registrants shareholders.
The
bylaws specifically provide that the Registrant may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any director against any liability asserted against such
person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the
Registrant would have had the power to indemnify against such liability.
In
addition, the Registrants articles of incorporation, subject to certain
exceptions, eliminate the potential personal liability of a director for
monetary damages to the Registrant and to the shareholders of the Registrant for
breach of a duty as a director. There is no elimination of liability for
(1) a breach of duty involving appropriation of a business opportunity of
the Registrant, (2) an act or omission not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) a transaction
from which the director derives an improper material tangible personal benefit,
or (4) as to any payment of a dividend or approval of a stock repurchase
that is illegal under the Georgia Business Corporation Code. Article 11
does not eliminate or limit the right of the Registrant or its shareholders to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief not involving monetary damages.

Item 28.
Undertakings.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(a)(1)
To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together,
represent a fundamental change in the information in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration
Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2)
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3)
File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(b)(1)
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat the information
omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and
II-4
contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under
the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission
declared it effective.
(2)
For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the Registration Statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
II-5
SIGNATURES
In
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-2 and authorized this Amendment to the
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned in the city
of Albany, state of Georgia, on August 16, 2004.
