INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and the footnotes thereto should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 for Commercial Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the periods covered. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. 2. PER SHARE DATA Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares (basic earnings per share) and by the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding (diluted earnings per share). Common stock equivalents include the effect of all outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method. The following tables reconcile the weighted average shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Income Shares Per-Share Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator)(Denominator) Amount (Numerator)(Denominator) Amount --------- ----------- ------ --------- ----------- ------ Basic EPS $2,363 3,637 $.65 $1,813 3,608 $.50 Effect of Dilutive Options - 174 (.03) - 135 (.02) ------ ----- ---- ------ ----- ---- Diluted EPS $2,363 3,811 $.62 $1,813 3,743 $.48 ====== ===== ==== ====== ===== ==== Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 September 30, 2001 -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Income Shares Per-Share Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator)(Denominator) Amount (Numerator)(Denominator) Amount --------- ----------- ------ --------- ----------- ------ Basic EPS $6,659 3,624 $1.84 $5,196 3,606 $1.44 Effect of Dilutive Options - 168 (.08) - 108 (.04) ------ ----- ----- ------ ----- ----- Diluted EPS $6,659 3,792 $1.76 $5,196 3,714 $1.40 ====== ===== ===== ====== ===== ===== 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS SFAS No. 142: "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Except for goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001, which are immediately subject to its provision, SFAS No. 142 is effective starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 no longer allow the amortization of goodwill, and certain intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, and requires that impairment of goodwill on those assets be tested annually. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires the following additional disclosures for goodwill and other intangible assets: - Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from period-to-period; - The carrying amount of goodwill by major intangible assets class, and - The estimated intangible amortization for the next five years The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. The Company did not incur impairment losses for goodwill resulting from a transitional impairment test. The elimination of goodwill amortization will positively impact pre-tax net income by approximately $160,000 in fiscal year 2002.

SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and was written to provide a single model for the disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provision of Accounting principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The Company adopted the provision of SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002. The implementation of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. SFAS No. 147: "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions" In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." SFAS 147 addresses the treatment of goodwill related to branch acquisitions. It requires that goodwill meeting certain criteria be accounted for under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 in January 2002 and will adopt SFAS No. 147 in the fourth quarter of 2002. The implementation of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's net income reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, was $2.36 million, a 30% increase over the quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $1.81 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.65 and $.62, respectively, for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to $.50 and $.48, respectively, for the third quarter of 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's net income was $6.66 million, a 28% increase over the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $5.20 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.84 and $1.76, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1.44 and $1.40, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Company's third quarter tax-equivalent net interest income increased to $6.41 million, from $5.61 million in the corresponding quarter in 2001. The increase is due primarily to an increase in average earning assets of $79 million. The annualized net interest yield for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was 4.26% and 4.49%, respectively. This compares to 4.30% and 4.25% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The net interest yield has been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, which includes an adjustment for interest on tax-exempt securities. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2002 decreased by $184,000, or 19%, and decreased by $142,000 or 6% for the first nine months of 2002, from the corresponding periods of 2001. The decrease in quarter activity is due to decreases in account overdraft activity charges of $26,000 and net gain on sale of investments of $147,000 in 2001. The decrease in year to date activity is due to a net gain on sale of investments of $147,000 in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $127,000, or 6%, for the third quarter of 2002, and by $634,000, or 10%, for the first nine months of 2002, from the corresponding periods of 2001. The increase is attributable to normal payroll increases and increased benefit costs. Occupancy and Furniture and Equipment expenses for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, did not fluctuate from the same periods in the prior year. Data Processing expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 did not fluctuate and increased $93,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase is attributable to an increase in the number of accounts processed and to an increase in rates from the Company's service provider. Other miscellaneous expenses decreased by $131,000, or 21%, for the third quarter of 2002, and by $47,000, or 3%, for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2001. The decrease in quarter activity is due to decreases in legal and professional of $50,000, goodwill amortization of $41,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $39,000, partially offset by an increase in insurance of $22,000. The decrease in year to date activity is due to a decrease in goodwill amortization of $122,000, partially offset by an increase in insurance of $81,000. Company management continually reviews and evaluates the allowance for loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the results of its methodology, along with other factors such as the amount of non-performing loans and the economic conditions affecting the Company's markets and customers. The allowance for loan losses was approximately $4.75 million at September 30, 2002, as compared with $4.64 million at December 31, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was increased by the provision for loan losses of $170,000, and decreased by approximately $62,000 in net charge-offs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the allowance was increased with a provision for loan losses of $425,000 and decreased by approximately $10,000 in net charge-offs. The allowance as a percentage of total loans has increased to 1.38% at September 30, 2002, from 1.32% at December 31, 2001. Based on the nature of the loan portfolio and prevailing economic factors, management believes that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Approximately $212 million, or 62%, of total loans was secured by non-residential real estate, and $77.0 million, or 22%, of total loans was secured by residential real estate as of September 30, 2002. Virtually all loans are within the Company's markets in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. The Company had no non-accrual loans at September 30, 2002. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The objective of liquidity management is to maintain cash flow requirements to meet immediate and ongoing future needs for loan demand, deposit withdrawals, maturing liabilities, and expenses. In evaluating actual and anticipated needs, management seeks to obtain funds at the most economical cost. Management believes that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet future funding requirements. For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan commitments and withdrawals of deposited funds. Funds to meet these needs can be obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or other sources of funding. Many factors affect a bank's ability to meet liquidity needs. Commercial Bank of Florida's (the Bank) principal sources of funds are deposits, repurchase agreements, payments on loans, maturities and sales of investments. As an additional source of funds, the Bank has credit availability with the Federal Home Loan Bank amounting to $102 million, and Federal Funds purchased lines available at correspondent banks amounting to $23 million as of September 30, 2002. The Bank's primary use of funds is to originate loans and purchase investment securities. The Bank purchased $181.1 million of investment securities during the first nine months of 2002, and loans decreased by $7.8 million. Funding for the above came primarily from increases in deposits of $107.2 million and from proceeds from maturities and sales of investment securities of $80.7 million. In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the Company and the Bank are each required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 8%. Additionally, all bank holding companies and member banks must maintain "core" or "Tier 1" capital of at least 3% of total assets ("leverage ratio"). Member banks operating at or near the 3% capital level are expected to have well diversified risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on- and off-balance sheet activities, and in general be considered strong banking organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMELS rating system of banks. For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above conditions, the minimum leverage ratio is to be 3% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points. The Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital, and Leverage Ratios of the Company were 12.79%, 14.27%, and 7.51%, respectively, as of September 30, 2002. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISK Changes in interest rates can substantially impact the Company's long-term profitability and current income. An important part of management's efforts to maintain long-term profitability is the management of interest rate risk. The goal is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk and liquidity. Interest rate exposure is managed by monitoring the relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, focusing on the size, maturity or repricing date, rate of return and degree of risk. The Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Bank oversees the interest rate risk management and reviews the Bank's asset/liability structure on a quarterly basis. The Bank uses interest rate sensitivity, or GAP analysis to monitor the amount and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates. The GAP analysis is not relied upon solely to determine future reactions to interest rate changes because it is presented at one point in time and could change significantly from day-to-day. Other methods such as simulation analysis are utilized in evaluating the Bank's interest rate risk position. The table presented below shows the Bank's GAP analysis at September 30, 2002.

Interest-bearing checking and savings accounts have been allocated to the "over 1 year" category, and money market accounts 25% to the "91-181 days" category, 25% to the "182-365 days" category, and 50% to the "over 1 year" category. The Bank uses simulation analysis to quantify the effects of various immediate parallel shifts in interest rates on net interest income over the next 12 month period. Such a "rate shock" analysis requires key assumptions which are inherently uncertain, such as deposit sensitivity, cash flows from investments and loans, reinvestment options, management's capital plans, market conditions, and the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes. As a result, the simulation is only a best-estimate and cannot accurately predict the impact of the future interest rate changes on net income. As of September 30, 2002, the Bank's simulation analysis projects an increase to net interest income of 3.99%, assuming an immediate parallel shift downward in interest rates by 200 basis points. If rates rise by 200 basis points, the simulation analysis projects net interest income would decrease by 3.06%. These projected levels are within the Bank's policy limits. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation within ninety days prior to the filing date of this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules. The Company's controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to their evaluation, nor any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
