NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1: Nature of operations and basis of presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CenterState Banks of Florida, Inc. (the “Parent Company” or “CSFL”), and our wholly owned subsidiary banks and wholly owned subsidiary, C. S. Processing. Our four subsidiary banks operate through 29 locations in eight Counties throughout Central Florida, providing traditional deposit and lending products and services to their commercial and retail customers.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations of the six month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: Common stock outstanding and earnings per share data

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the further dilution from stock options using the treasury method. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented (dollars are in thousands, except per share data). All per share data has been adjusted to reflect our May 2006 two for one stock split.

NOTE 3: Comprehensive income

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” certain transactions and other economic events that bypass our income statement must be displayed as other comprehensive income. Our comprehensive income consists of net earnings and unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of deferred income taxes.

NOTE 4: Stock-based compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), that requires companies to expense the value of employee stock purchase plans, stock option grants and similar awards at the beginning of their next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005 and requires the use of either the modified prospective or the modified retrospective application method. We adopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method; as such, prior periods do not include share-based compensation expense related to SFAS 123R. The modified prospective method requires the application of SFAS 123R to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of outstanding awards for which service has not been rendered (such as unvested options) that are outstanding as of the date of adoption are recognized as the remaining services are rendered. We recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in salaries and benefits in the condensed consolidated statement of earnings on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

Our shareholders have authorized 730,000 common shares for employees of the Company under an incentive stock option and non-statutory stock option plan (the “1999 Plan”). Options are granted at fair market value of the underlying stock at date of grant. Each option expires ten years from the date of grant. Options become 25% vested immediately as of the grant date and will continue to vest at a rate of 25% on each anniversary date thereafter. At June 30, 2006, there were 108,260 shares available for future grants. In addition to the 1999 Plan, we have assumed and converted the stock option plans of our subsidiary banks consistent with the terms and conditions of their respective merger agreements. These options are all vested and exercisable.

In 2004, our shareholders authorized an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted under the ESPP is 400,000, which amount shall be increased on December 31 of each calendar year. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, there were no options outstanding pursuant to this plan, and no activity occurred during the six month period ending June 30, 2006 relating to our ESPP.

Our stock-based compensation consists solely of expense related to stock options. During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized approximately $311,000 of stock-based compensation expense. As all of these options were incentive stock options (“ISO”) there was no related tax benefit. As of June 30, 2006, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, was approximately $849,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.9 years.

Table of Contents

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). As such, we did not recognize compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements for stock options as the exercise price was not less than 100% of the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share had we recognized compensation expense consistent with the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R (amounts are in thousands of dollars, except per share date).

We granted stock options for 28,000 shares of common stock and 27,000 shares of common stock during the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. No stock options were granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, however, we did acquire stock options pursuant to the merger with CenterState Bank Mid Florida (“Mid FL”) as of the close of business March 31, 2006. These options vested immediately upon change of control, and their fair value was included as a portion of the purchase price paid for Mid FL. We estimated the fair value of these options as of the merger date and the other options granted during these periods as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date, and as of the merger date in the case of the Mid FL transaction, are as follows:

   0.76 %   0.68 %   0.76 %   0.68 %

We determine the expected life of the stock options using historical data adjusted for known factors that would alter historical exercise behavior including announced retirement dates. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the grant date. Expected volatility was determined using historical volatility.

SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. As a result, for most awards, recognized stock compensation would be reduced for estimated forfeitures prior to vesting. Based on historical data, we expect our annual

forfeiture rates to be immaterial. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. Prior to January 1, 2006, actual forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred for purposes of required pro forma stock compensation disclosures.

The weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $6.54 per share and $8.30 per share respectively. There were no stock options granted during the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. However, we did acquire stock options pursuant to the merger with Mid FL as of the close of business March 31, 2006. These options vested immediately upon change of control, and their fair value was included as a portion of the purchase price paid for Mid FL. We estimated that the fair value of these option were $12.62 per share.

NOTE 5: Acquisition of CenterState Bank Mid Florida

On March 31, 2006, CSFL acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of CenterState Bank Mid Florida. The assets acquired consisted principally of loans and securities and the liabilities principally of deposits. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price consisted of cash and stock. Specifically, each share of Mid FL common stock was exchanged for $4.35 cash and 0.2774 shares of CSFL common stock, resulting in a purchase price of $14,559,000, based on a CSFL share price of $36.80. Other costs include the value of the employee stock options acquired (approximately $760,000) and transaction expenses of approximately $279,000. Total cost of the transaction was approximately $15,598,000.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

NOTE 6: Effect of new pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to separately recognize servicing assets and servicing liabilities and to report these balances at fair value upon inception, future methods of assessing values can be performed using either the amortization or fair value measurement techniques.

Table of Contents

Adoption of SFAS No. 156 is required for transactions occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In July 2006, the FASB released Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This Interpretation revises the recognition tests for tax positions taken in tax returns such that a tax benefit is recorded only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be allowed upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount of such a tax benefit to record is the largest amount that is more likely than not to be allowed. Any reduction in deferred tax asset or increase in tax liabilities upon adoption will correspondingly reduce retained earnings. The Company has not yet determined the effect of adopting this Interpretation, which is effective for it on January 1, 2007.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Stock split

During May 2006 we split our common stock in two (2 for 1 stock split), doubling the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. At June 30, 2006 we have 11,109,500 shares of common stock outstanding. Our total shares of common stock authorized have also been increased from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000. All per share data has been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Russell 2000

Each year the Russell reconstitutes its indexes capturing the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000. The largest 1,000 companies in the ranking comprise the Russell 1000 while the remaining 2,000 companies become the widely used Russell 2000. The measurement date occurs on the last trading day of May, and the reconstitution date occurs on the last trading day of June. We have been included in the Russell 2000 this year, the first time in our Company’s history.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. An industry leading $3.8 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of member stocks according to that company’s weighting in the particular index.

Branch activity

Of our current 29 banking locations, four are what we refer to as “freedom offices,” which are small offices located inside gated retirement communities in central Florida. The office is usually located in a small room or area of the community’s “club house,” and caters to the needs of that particular community. Two of the four are very successful. The other two have not performed as well. Consequently, we have decided to close those two locations subject to the appropriate bank regulatory approvals. Their closing date is expected to occur during this coming October. The two offices combined have total deposits of approximately $1,800,000.

We currently have two new branches under construction. One is located in Osceola County (St. Cloud, Florida area) and the other is in Polk County, south of Lakeland, Florida. We expect to open both of those offices by the end of this year, although one may open at the beginning of next year. In addition, we also expect to open a new branch in Lake County (Eustis, Florida area) in a temporary location before the end of this year. We expect to operate this branch in the temporary location until we build a permanent facility which we hope to complete by the end of next year. We also have several other site locations that we have purchased or are in the process of purchasing for future branches in 2007 and 2008.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2006 AND DECEMBER 31, 2005

Overview

Total assets were $1,028,630,000 as of June 30, 2006, compared to $871,521,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $157,109,000 or 18%. Approximately $94,016,000, or 10.8%, of this increase was the result of our March 31, 2006 acquisition of CenterState Bank Mid Florida. The remaining $63,093,000, or 7.2%, of this increase, was primarily the result of our internally generated loan growth and investment growth funded by an increase in deposits and retail repurchase agreements.

Federal funds sold and money market accounts

Federal funds sold and money market accounts were $80,285,000 at June 30, 2006 (approximately 7.8% of total assets) as compared to $52,977,000 at December 31, 2005 (approximately 6.1% of total assets). We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and money market accounts for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans and deposits outstanding.

Investment securities

Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, were $232,063,000 at June 30, 2005 (approximately 23% of total assets) compared to $218,841,000 at December 31, 2005 (approximately 25% of total assets), an increase of $13,222,000 or 6%. These securities have been recorded at fair value. We classify our securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and money market accounts for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans and deposits outstanding as discussed above, under the caption “Federal funds sold and money market accounts.”

Loans

Total gross loans were $622,679,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to $517,424,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $105,255,000 or 20.3%. During the same period, real estate loans increased by $97,598,000 or 24.2%, commercial loans increased by $1,503,000 or 2.4%, and all other loans including consumer loans increased by $6,154,000 or 12.2%. Total loans net of unearned fees and allowance for loan losses were $621,638,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to $516,658,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $104,980,000 or 20.3%. Excluding the loans acquired through the Mid FL merger ($53,336,000), the increase during this six month period was $51,644,000, or 10%.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of an amount adequate to provide for probably incurred losses within the existing loan portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when we believe collection of the principal is unlikely. The allowance consists of amounts established for specific loans and is also based on historical loan loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the specific market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. The specific reserve element is the result of a regular analysis of all loans based on credit rating classifications and other factors. At June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $7,310,000 or 1.18% of total loans outstanding, compared to $6,491,000 or 1.26%, at December 31, 2005.

Nonperforming assets

Nonperforming assets include (1) non-accrual loans; (2) accruing loans that are 90 days or more delinquent that are deemed by management to be adequately secured and in the process of collection; (3) OREO (i.e. real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (4) other repossessed assets (not real estate). All delinquent loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the possibility of collecting additional interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. As a matter of policy, interest is not accrued on loans past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Additional interest income on such loans is recognized only when received. The following table sets forth information regarding the components of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (in thousands of dollars).

Table of Contents

We are continually analyzing our loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. As of June 30, 2006, we believe the allowance for loan losses was adequate. However, we recognize that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the market. Accordingly, there is no assurance that losses in excess of such reserves will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $36,996,000 at June 30, 2006 compared to $28,909,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $8,087,000 or 28%. This amount is the result of purchases totaling $9,373,000 less $954,000 of depreciation expense, less $326,000 sale of land and less $6,000 disposal of equipment. A portion of the purchase amount ($3,345,000) is a result of the March 31, 2006 acquisition of the Mid FL bank. The remaining purchases ($6,028,000) are listed below:

 

$ 190,000    construction in progress, Osceola County (St. Cloud) branch; land purchased in prior year
  400,000    construction in progress, Polk County (South Lakeland) branch; land is leased
  300,000    construction cost; build out second floor Lake Wales branch (Polk County); completed
  100,000    leasehold improvement downtown Lakeland branch (Polk County)
  600,000    purchased land -future branch site for Cystal River, Florida (Citrus County)
  515,000    purchased land -future branch site Bushnell, Florida (Sumter County)
  1,700,000    purchased land -future branch and corporate office site (Polk County)
  1,450,000    purchased land -future branch site for Eustis, Florida (Lake County)
  773,000    purchases of equipment and furniture
      
$  6,028,000   
      

Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”)

On October 31, 2005, we purchased $6,000,000 of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) covering 18 of our officers. In January 2006, we entered into agreements with the 18 officers, whereby upon their death, while still employed, their beneficiary(s) will receive one half of the net life insurance proceeds as defined in the agreements. Further, if the officer meets the vesting requirements as defined in the agreement, upon termination or retirement, they may be entitled to a post retirement life insurance benefit equal to 10% of the net proceeds as defined in the agreement.

Deposits

Total deposits were $855,031,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to $717,337,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of $137,694,000 or 19.2%. Most of this increase (approximately $78,302,000) was a result of the March 31, 2006 acquisition of the Mid FL bank. Exclusive of the Mid FL acquisition, our deposits grew $59,392,000, or 8.3% (16.6% annualized), during the six month period. This was a result of normal organic growth. The percentage of our time deposits to our total deposits increased from 37% at December 31, 2005, to 44% at June 30, 2006. Conversely, our non time deposits (demand accounts and money market accounts) decreased during this same period from 63% to 56%. Part of that shift relates to the Mid FL bank, where approximately 52% of total deposits at the date of acquisition were time deposits, however, management believes that there seems to be a shift in trend at our other banks as well, probably due to the interest rate environment. We do not purchase broker deposits, nor do we solicit deposits nationally. All of our deposits are generated from our local markets in central Florida.

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase

Our subsidiary banks enter into borrowing arrangements with our retail business customers by agreements to repurchase (“securities sold under agreements to repurchase”) under which the banks pledge investment securities owned and under their control as collateral against the one-day borrowing arrangement. These short-term borrowings totaled $48,595,000 at June 30, 2006 compared to $41,811,000 at December 31, 2005, resulting in an increase of $6,784,000, or 16%.

Corporate debenture

In September 2003, we formed CenterState Banks of Florida Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 22, 2003, we issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the amount of $10,000,000. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of a trust preferred security to acquire the corporate debenture. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by us or the Trust, at their respective option after five years, and sooner in specific events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve, if then required. Related debt issuance costs of $188,000 were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over a five year period ending September 2008. We have treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital as allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines.

Payable to shareholders

This liability represents the amount of cash we are required to pay Mid FL shareholders pursuant to the acquisition of the Mid FL bank at March 31, 2006. As the Mid FL shareholders send their old Mid FL certificates along with an executed transmittal letter to our transfer agent, we will pay them cash of $4.35 per share (1,000,050 shares x $4.35per share = $4,350,218) and issue 0.2774 shares of our common stock for each share of Mid FL common stock exchanged. As of June 30, 2006, more than 88% of the Mid FL certificates have been exchanged.

Stockholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006, was $111,072,000, or 10.8% of total assets, compared to $97,241,000, or 11.2% of total assets at December 31, 2005. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to the following items:

 

$ 97,241,000    Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2005
  4,017,000    Net income during the six month period ended June 30, 2006

The federal bank regulatory agencies have established risk-based capital requirements for banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a bank’s capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset categories. Banks are also required to systematically maintain capital against such “off- balance sheet” activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity and restricting the amount of loan loss reserves and other forms of equity such as preferred stock that may be included in capital. As of June 30, 2006, each of our four subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “well capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

Selected consolidated capital ratios at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are presented in the table below.

The return on average equity (“ROE”) and the return on average assets (“ROA”), calculated on an annualized basis, for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was 7.97% and 0.89%, respectively, as compared to 9.25% and 0.72%, respectively, for the same period in 2005.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $2,764,000 or 41% to $9,581,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $6,817,000 for the same period in 2005. The $2,764,000 increase was the result of a $5,163,000 increase in interest income less a $2,399,000 increase in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $898,478,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $726,732,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $171,746,000, or 24%. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 1.30% to 6.56% during the three month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to 5.26% for the same period in 2005. The combined effects of the $171,746,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 1.30% increase in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $5,163,000 increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $671,091,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $547,063,000 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $124,028,000, or 23%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities increased 1.06% to 3.07% during the three month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to 2.01% for the same period in 2005. The combined effects of the $124,028,000 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 1.06% increase in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $2,399,000 increase in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by us, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of our loan portfolio. As these factors change, the level of loan loss allowance changes. The allowance for loan loss account is then adjusted by the amount of the provision for loan losses charged to earnings. The provision was $206,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $255,000 for the same period in 2005.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,507,000 compared to $1,310,000 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below (Amounts listed are in thousands of dollars).

Our general business growth helped increase fee income in general. Mid FL’s non-interest income is included in the current quarter’s income, but not the comparable quarter in the prior year. Mid Florida’s total non interest income contribution for the current quarter was approximately $68,000, of which about $39,000 relates to service charges on deposit accounts. Partially off-setting these increasing effects on our deposit account service charges was rising interest rates and the related effect on the earnings credit on our commercial (business) checking accounts. That is, as interest rates rise, the earnings credit on checking accounts has increased thereby reducing checking account service fees, producing a decreasing effect in service charges on deposit accounts. Another off-setting decreasing effect on deposit account service charges was the merger of two of our subsidiary banks in January 2006. One of the banks had been charging customers for checking accounts (i.e. non-business checking accounts). Subsequent to the merger, that product has been changed to free checking, which produced a decreasing effect on service charges on deposit accounts. The reason we changed to free checking was to conform to our other banks and to better align ourselves to the local competition.

We purchased our BOLI during the third quarter of 2005. As such, we had no comparative earnings credit during the second quarter of 2005.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1,714,000, or 30.7%, to $7,297,000, compared to $5,583,000 for the same period in 2005. The table below breaks down the individual components.

Table of Contents

The most significant component when comparing these two quarters is the March 31, 2006 acquisition of CenterState Bank Mid FL. Their non interest expenses is included in the current quarter but not in the comparable quarter in 2005. Their total non interest expense during the current quarter was $751,000. Excluding Mid FL, our net increase would adjust from $1,714,000 to $963,000 ($1,714,000 minus $751,000).

Our largest non-interest expense is employee and employee related expenses. Total salaries, wages and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2006 ($4,168,000) accounted for 57% of our total non-interest expense, compared to 55% for the same period last year. Looking at the table below, employee salaries and wages increased by 20% to $3,000,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 2006 (“current quarter”), compared to $2,499,000 for the same period last year. To analyze this $501,000 increase, first remove the Mid FL component of salary expense (approximately $264,000). This will adjust the increase to $237,000, or 9.5%. We believe this increase is a result of an increase in FTEs (“full time equivalent employees”), exclusive of Mid FL (282 in June of 2006 compared to 268 in June of 2005), as well as salary increases commensurate with our market environment.

We use a combination of performance incentive / bonus guidelines to motivate our employees to perform. These are primarily all tied to earnings performance metrics. As our net income increases, our employee incentive/bonus compensation also increases.

Effective January 1, 2006, we are required to expense employee stock options pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R). This expense during the current quarter was $181,000.

Incremental direct cost of loan origination, represents direct incremental cost of originating loans for our portfolio (successful efforts) that are required to be capitalized and amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91. The amount that we capitalize is dependent on not just the cost, but the volume of loans successfully originated.

We added one new branch in October 2005, which is currently operating out of a temporary location until we construct a new permanent facility. As such this branch was operating during the current quarter, but not in the comparable quarter last year. This accounts for a few of the additional FTE’s quarter to quarter, the rest is due to the continual growth of our business. The increase in the remainder of our non-interest expenses, excluding employee related expenses, was primarily due to the continual growth of our business.

The increase in the effective tax rate is due to expensing stock options effective this year (pursuant to SFAS No. 123R), which is not tax deductible, partially offset by BOLI income, which is not taxable.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of

Table of Contents

the Company’s loan portfolio. As these factors change, the level of loan loss allowance changes. The allowance for loan loss account is then adjusted by the amount of the provision for loan losses charged to earnings. The provision was $446,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $540,000 for the same period in 2005.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3,002,000 compared to $2,651,000 for the comparable period in 2005, resulting in an increase of $351,000, or 13.2%. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below. Amounts listed are in thousands of dollars.

Our general business growth helped increase fee income in general. The March 31, 2006 merger with Mid FL also helped increase fees. Mid FL’s non-interest income is included in the current period’s income, but not the comparable period in the prior year. Mid Florida’s total non interest income contribution for the current period was approximately $68,000, of which about $39,000 relates to service charges on deposit accounts. Partially off-setting these increasing effects on our deposit account service charges was rising interest rates and the related effect on the earnings credit on our commercial (business) checking accounts. That is, as interest rates rise, the earnings credit on checking accounts has increased thereby reducing checking account service fees, producing a decreasing effect in service charges on deposit accounts. Another off-setting decreasing effect on deposit account service charges was the merger of two of our subsidiary banks in January 2006. One of the banks had been charging customers for checking accounts (i.e. non-business checking accounts). Subsequent to the merger, that product has been changed to free checking, which produced a decreasing effect on service charges on deposit accounts. The reason we changed to free checking was to conform to our other banks and to better align ourselves to the local competition.

We purchased our BOLI during the third quarter of 2005. As such, we had no comparative earnings credit during the six month period ending June 30, 2005.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $2,983,000, or 27.4%, to $13,887,000, compared to $10,904,000 for the same period in 2005. The table below breaks down the individual components.

The most significant component when comparing these two quarters is the March 31, 2006 acquisition of CenterState Bank Mid FL. Their non interest expenses, after the March 31, 2006

acquisition date, is included in the current period but not in the comparable period in 2005. Their total non interest expense during this period was $751,000. Excluding Mid FL, our net increase would adjust from $2,983,000 to $2,232,000 ($2,983,000 minus $751,000).

Our largest non-interest expense is employee and employee related expenses. Total salaries, wages and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2006 ($8,044,000) accounted for 58% of our total non-interest expense, compared to 55% for the same period last year. Looking at the table below, employee salaries and wages increased by 18.3% to $5,748,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 2006 (“current period”), compared to $4,858,000 for the same period last year. To analyze this $890,000 increase, first remove the Mid FL component of salary expense (approximately $264,000). This will adjust the increase to $626,000, or 12.9%. We believe this increase is a result of an increase in FTEs, exclusive of Mid FL (282 in June of 2006 compared to 268 in June of 2005), as well as salary increases commensurate with our market environment.

We use a combination of performance incentive / bonus guidelines to motivate our employees to perform. These are primarily all tied to earnings performance metrics. As our net income increases, our employee incentive/bonus compensation also increases.

Effective January 1, 2006, we are required to expense employee stock options pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R). This expense during the current period was $311,000.

Incremental direct cost of loan origination, represents direct incremental cost of originating loans for our portfolio (successful efforts) that are required to be capitalized and amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91. The amount that we capitalize is dependent on not just the cost, but the volume of loans successfully originated.

We added one new branch in October 2005, which is currently operating out of a temporary location until we construct a new permanent facility. As such, this branch was operating during the current period, but not in the comparable period last year. This accounts for a few of the additional FTE’s period to period, the rest is due to the continual growth of our business. The increase in the remainder of our non-interest expenses, excluding employee related expenses, was primarily due to the continual growth of our business.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2,497,000 (an effective rate of 38.3%) compared to $1,603,000 (an effective rate of 37.3%) for the same period in 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to expensing stock options effective this year (pursuant to SFAS No. 123R), which is not tax deductible, partially offset by BOLI income, which is not taxable. Our stock option expense is not tax deductible because all of these particular stock options are qualifying incentive stock options. Excluding these two items, our effective tax rates are comparable period to period as presented in the table below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis. We measures liquidity position by giving consideration to both on- and off-balance sheet sources of and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis.

Each of our subsidiary banks regularly assesses the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs, and existing and planned business activities. Each of our subsidiary bank’s asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends guidelines, subject to board of director’s approval, and courses of action to address actual and projected liquidity needs.

Short term sources of funding and liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, net of federal requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities; investment securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from customers pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; loan repayments; deposits and certain interest rate-sensitive deposits; and borrowings under overnight federal fund lines available from correspondent banks. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the primary demand for liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES: MARKET RISK

Market risk

We believe interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. Each of our subsidiary banks monitors and manages its interest rate risk using interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis to measure the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income. See our 2005 annual report on Form 10-K for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as of December 31, 2005. There has been no material changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2006. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial. We do not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and do not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter covered by this report that have materially effected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
