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 their wholly owned subsidiary, C. S. Processing. Our five subsidiary banks operate through 36 locations in nine 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, 2006. 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, 2007 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. There were 135,500 stock options that were anti dilutive at June 30, 2007.

NOTE 4: Acquisition of Valrico Bancorp, Inc.

On April 2, 2007, we acquired Valrico Bancorp, Inc. (“VBI”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Valrico State Bank, as previously announced. The $36.1 million purchase price was a combination of 65% stock and 35% cash. VBI is a one bank holding company operating through its subsidiary, Valrico State Bank (“VSB”). VSB opened for business in 1989 and operates through four banking locations in Hillsborough County, Florida. A fifth location, also in Hillsborough County, was opened in May 2007. VSB is operating as a separate wholly owned subsidiary, similar to the Company’s other subsidiary banks. We believe VSB to be an excellent fit and expect the addition of this strategic partnership to enhance our overall franchise value. Our organizational cultures are similar and geographically, our footprint will now stretch from Orlando on the east to Tampa on the west, touching the perimeters of both of those markets. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands of dollars).

NOTE 5: Effect of new pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer

Table of Contents

plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, beginning with year end 2006, and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income beginning in 2007. Additionally, defined benefit plan assets and obligations are to be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end, starting in 2008. Adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard is effective for financial assets acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement provides the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial adoption, permits a onetime reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosures. This Standard is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 with the effects of initial adoption being reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance). This Issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the Issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this Issue did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Effect of newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this Statement.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this Statement.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This Issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Under the current agreements, adoption of this Issue will have no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

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

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2007 AND DECEMBER 31, 2006

Overview

Total assets were $1,240,984,000 as of June 30, 2007, compared to $1,077,102,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $163,882,000 or 15%. The increase is primarily a result of the acquisition of Valrico State Bank discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above.

Federal funds sold and money market accounts

Federal funds sold and money market accounts were $51,997,000 at June 30, 2007 (approximately 4.2% of total assets) as compared to $79,636,000 at December 31, 2006 (approximately 7.4% 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 outstanding.

Investment securities

Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury, government agency securities and municipal tax exempt securities were $227,324,000 at June 30, 2007 (approximately 18% of total assets) compared to $235,350,000 at December 31, 2006 (approximately 22% of total assets), a decrease of $8,026,000 or 3.4%. These securities are carried at fair value. We classify our securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates as well as future liquidity needs. 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 outstanding as discussed above, under the caption “Federal funds sold and money market accounts.”

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Average loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, were $813,927,000, or 74% of average earning assets, as compared to $611,379,000, or 68% of average earning assets, for the quarter ending June 30, 2006. Total loans, net of unearned fees and cost, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $826,215,000 and $657,963,000, respectively, an increase of $168,252,000, or 26%. This represents a loan to total asset ratio of 67% and 61% and a loan to deposit ratio of 83% and 74%, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in loans during this period was primarily due to the acquisition of Valrico State Bank, as discussed in Note 4 to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above, as well as normal business growth.

Total residential real estate loans totaled $197,577,000 or 24% of our total loans as of June 30, 2007. As with all of our loans, these are originated in our geographical market area in central Florida. We do not engage in sub-prime lending. As of this same date, our commercial real estate loans totaled $379,407,000, or 46% of our total loans. Construction, development, and land loans totaled $109,694,000, or 13% of our loans. As a group, all of our real estate collateralized loans represent approximately 83% of our total loans at June 30, 2007. The remaining 17% is comprised of commercial loans (9.6%) and consumer loans (7.4%).

Loan concentrations are considered to exist where there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities, which collectively could be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions and when the total of such amounts would exceed 25% of total capital. Due to the lack of diversified industry and the relative proximity of markets served, the Company has concentrations in geographic as well as in types of loans funded.

Note 1:    The increase in this category was due to the acquisition of Valrico State Bank and certain reclassifications from the Commercial Real Estate Loan category to Construction, Development and Land Loan category.
Note 2:    Construction (exclusive of single family construction), Acquisition & Development and Land loans approximate 55% of regulatory capital which compares favorably to regulatory guidelines of 100% of regulatory capital.
Note 3:    Commercial Real Estate loans (exclusive of owner occupied) plus the loans described in note 2 above approximate 205% of regulatory capital which compares favorably to regulatory guidelines of 300% of regulatory capital.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings and decreased by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely.

The allowance consists of two components. The first component is an allocation for impaired loans, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114. Impaired loans are those loans that management has estimated will not repay as agreed upon. Each of these loans is required to have a written analysis supporting the amount of specific allowance allocated to the particular loan, if any. That is to say, a loan may be impaired (i.e. not expected to repay as agreed), but may be sufficiently collateralized such that we expect to recover all principal and interest eventually, and therefore no specific allowance is warranted.

The second component is a general allowance on all of the Company’s loans other than those identified as impaired. We group these loans into five general categories with similar characteristics, then apply an adjusted loss factor to each group of loans to determine the total amount of this second component of our allowance for loan losses. The adjusted loss factor for each category of loans is a derivative of our historical loss factor for that category, adjusted for current internal and external environmental factors, as well as for certain loan grading factors.

As shown in the table above, our allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.15% at June 30, 2007 and 1.12% at December 31, 2006. Our ALLL increased by $2,164,000 during this six month period. Of this amount, $2,064,000 relates to an increase in our Component 2, or general allowance, which $1,617,000 relates to the acquisition of VSB and $447,000 is due to the growth in the loan portfolio. The remaining $100,000 increase is due to an increase in our Component 1, or specific allowance. This Component is the result of specific allowance analyses prepared for each of our impaired loans.

Nonperforming assets

Non-performing loans consist of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans plus other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets other than real estate. We place loans on non-accrual status when they are past due 90 days and management believes the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When we place a loan on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. Subsequent collections reduce the principal balance of the loan until the loan is returned to accrual status.

The following table sets forth information regarding the components of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (in thousands of dollars).

We continually analyze our loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are committed to the early recognition of problems and to maintaining a sufficient allowance. As of June 30, 2007, 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 allowance will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $52,827,000 at June 30, 2007 compared to $39,879,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $12,948,000 or 32%. Of this amount, $9,289,000 represents the purchase of premises and equipment pursuant to the acquisition of Valrico State Bank as discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The remaining amount of the increase ($3,659,000) is the result of purchases and construction costs totaling $4,751,000 less $1,092,000 of depreciation expense. Most of these costs relate to the construction of the two branch offices completed in the first half of 2007 (Lake Ashton in Osceola County and FishHawk in Hillsborough County) and two branch offices currently under construction (Deer Creek in Polk County and Crystal River in Citrus County.)

Deposits

Total deposits were $998,382,000 at June 30, 2007, compared to $892,806,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $105,576,000 or 11.8%. We acquired $130,614,000 of deposits as a result of our acquisition of Valrico State Bank on April 2, 2007. As such, total deposits decreased $25,038,000, or 2.8%, exclusive of the Valrico deposits acquired, during the six month period ending June 30, 2007. Deposit growth, especially in core deposits (i.e. non time deposit accounts) continues to be a challenge.

Table of Contents

Our subsidiary Presidents have initiated various incentive programs throughout their Banks as well as other marketing efforts targeted at deposit growth. We believe there are several forces causing this slow down in deposit growth, including the interest rate environment which may have enticed customers to shift from lower yielding accounts to higher yielding time deposits and the slow down in real estate activity in Florida, which translates into less transactions which equates to lower balances held in title company accounts and other real estate related accounts.

The table below sets forth our deposits by type and as a percentage to total deposits at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (amounts shown in the table are in thousands of dollars).

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 $64,736,000 at June 30, 2007 compared to $52,792,000 at December 31, 2006, resulting in an increase of $11,944,000, or 23%.

Corporate debentures

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 loan origination 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 up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

In September 2004, Valrico Bancorp Inc. (“VBI”) formed Valrico Capital Statutory Trust (“Valrico Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 9, 2004, VBI issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the amount of $2,500,000. 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 270 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 VBI or the Valrico Trust, at their respective option after five years, and sooner in specific events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve, if then required. On April 2, 2007, we acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of VBI pursuant to the merger

agreement, including VBI’s corporate debenture and related trust preferred security discussed above. We have treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

Other borrowings

At June 30, 2007, other borrowings consisted of $3,250,000 of daily federal funds purchased and the following Federal Home Loan Bank advances: $3,000,000 due in July 2007, $3,000,000 due in November 2007, $3,000,000 due in December 2007 and $2,000,000 due in March 2008. These short-term borrowings are used for liquidity management along with federal funds sold and investment securities available-for-sale discussed earlier in this document.

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2007, was $142,247,000, or 11.5% of total assets, compared to $117,332,000, or 10.9% of total assets at December 31, 2006. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to the following items:

 

$117,332,000    Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2006
4,088,000    Net income during the period
(826,000)    Dividends declared and paid ($0.07 per share)
(1,573,000)    Net decrease in market value of securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes
515,000    Employee stock options exercised
268,000    Employee stock option expense consistent with SFAS #123(R)
22,443,000    Stock issued pursuant to acquisition of VBI
    
$142,247,000    Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2007
    

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, 2007, each of our five 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, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented in the table below.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

Overview

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,280,000 or $0.18 per share basic and diluted, compared to $2,207,000 or $0.20 per share basic and $0.19 per share diluted for the same period in 2006.

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, 2007 was 6.41% and 0.74%, respectively, as compared to 7.99% and 0.89%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $1,663,000 or 17% to $11,244,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $9,581,000 for the same period in 2006. The $1,663,000 increase was the result of a $4,899,000 increase in interest income less a $3,236,000 increase in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,106,713,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $898,478,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $208,235,000, or 23%. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 0.54% to 7.11% (0.58% to 7.17% tax equivalent basis) during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 6.57% (6.59% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2006. The combined effects of the $208,235,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 0.54% (0.58% tax equivalent basis) increase in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $4,899,000 ($2,022,000 tax equivalent basis) increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $888,501,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $671,091,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $217,410,000, or 32%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities increased 0.71% to 3.78% during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 3.07% for the same period in 2006. The combined effects of the $217,410,000 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 0.71% increase in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $3,236,000 increase in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $170,000, or 83%, to $376,000 during the three month period ending June 30, 2007 compared to $206,000 for the comparable period in 2006. Our policy is to

maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings, and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs. Therefore, the provision for loan losses (Income Statement effect) is a residual of management’s determination of allowance for loan losses (Balance Sheet approach). In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider those levels maintained by conditions of individual borrowers, the historical loan loss experience, the general economic environment, the overall portfolio composition, and other information. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. See “credit quality and allowance for loan losses” regarding the allowance for loan losses for additional information.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,903,000 compared to $1,507,000 for the comparable period in 2006. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below (amounts listed are in thousands of dollars).

We acquired Valrico State Bank (“VSB”) on April 2, 2007. As such, non-interest income in the second quarter 2007 includes VSB ($215,000), but VSB is not included in the comparable quarter in 2006.

The largest component of non-interest income is “Service charges on deposit accounts” which increased by $271,000. Most of this increase is the result of the acquisition of VSB ($128,000) and the remaining increase is primarily due to increases in number of accounts, a more rigorous effort placed on deposit related fee generation and our overall continuing business growth.

Commissions from mortgage broker activities are dependent on market place forces including supply and demand of single family residential property in our local markets. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and annuities are also dependent on market place forces including the successful efforts of our investment sales representatives. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, VSB did not offer these services, but we expect to begin initiating these services at VSB during the second half of this year.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,065,000, or 28.3%, to $9,362,000, compared to $7,297,000 for the same period in 2006. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

Overall, the most significant component to consider when comparing these two quarters is the April 2, 2007 acquisition of VSB. Their non-interest expense is included in the current quarter but not in the comparable quarter in 2006. Their total non-interest expense during the current quarter was $1,441,000. Excluding VSB, our net increase would adjust from $2,065,000 to $624,000, or from 28.3% to 8.6%.

Our largest non-interest expense is employee and employee related expenses. Total salaries, wages and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2007 ($5,265,000) accounted for 56% of our total non-interest expense, compared to 57% for the same period last year. Looking at the table above, employee salaries and wages increased by 28.0% to $3,840,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 2007 (“current quarter”), compared to $3,000,000 for the same period last year. Our average FTEs for the current quarter was approximately 376 compared to 305 FTEs for the comparable quarter last year. Most of the FTE increase relates to the acquisition of VSB discussed above, as well as from opening new branches and general business growth.

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.

The increase in marketing expenses relates to the checking account marketing campaign currently in place at one of our banks. This campaign started during the fourth quarter of 2006.

The CDI amortization increase between the two quarters is due to the April 2, 2007 acquisition of VSB.

We opened a temporary branch in September 2006 and another in October 2006. These two branches are operating out of temporary locations until the construction of their permanent facilities are completed. We also opened another branch in October 2006 and another in February 2007. Both of these two new branches opened in their newly constructed facilities (i.e. these two were not previously operating from temporary facilities). As discussed above, this activity also is responsible for adding additional FTEs along with the VSB acquisition. This branching activity, as well as the continual growth of our business, resulted in the increase in the remainder of our non-interest expenses.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,129,000 (an effective rate of 33.1%) compared to $1,378,000 (an effective rate of 38.4%) for the same period in 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in our effective tax rate was due to the increase in our tax exempt securities and loans.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006

Overview

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4,088,000 or $0.35 per share basic and $0.34 per share diluted, compared to $4,017,000 or $0.37 per share basic and $0.36 per share diluted for the same period in 2006.

ROE and ROA, calculated on an annualized basis, for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was 6.30% and 0.71%, respectively, as compared to 7.68% and 0.86%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $2,997,000 or 17% to $20,842,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $17,845,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase was the result of a $9,228,000 increase in interest income less a $6,231,000 increase in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,035,542,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $849,580,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $185,962,000, or 22%. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 0.65% to 7.04% (0.69% to 7.09% tax equivalent basis) during the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 6.39% (6.40% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2006. The combined net effects of the $185,962,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 0.65% (0.69% tax equivalent basis) increase in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $9,228,000 ($9,464,000 tax equivalent basis) increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $817,322,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $623,850,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $193,472,000, or 31%.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $212,000, or 48%, to $658,000 during the six month period ending June 30, 2007 compared to $446,000 for the comparable period in 2006. Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings, and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs. Therefore, the provision for loan losses (Income Statement effect) is a residual of management’s determination of allowance for loan losses (Balance Sheet approach). In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider those levels maintained by conditions of individual borrowers, the historical loan loss experience, the general economic environment, the overall portfolio composition, and other information. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. See “credit quality and allowance for loan losses” regarding the allowance for loan losses for additional information.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $3,443,000 compared to $3,002,000 for the comparable period in 2006, resulting in an increase of $441,000, or 14.7%. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below. Amounts listed are in thousands of dollars.

In addition, we acquired Mid FL on March 31, 2006. As such, six months of Mid FL ($166,000) was included during the six month period ending June 30, 2007 versus only three months ($68,000) during the comparable six month period in 2006.

The largest component of non-interest income is “Service charges on deposit accounts” which increased by $476,000. Part of this increase is the result of the acquisition of VSB ($128,000) and the acquisition of Mid FL ($51,000) and the remaining increase is due to increases in number of accounts, a more rigorous effort placed on deposit related fee generation and our overall continuing business growth.

Commissions from mortgage broker activities are dependent on market place forces including supply and demand of single family residential property in our local markets. Commissions from the sale of mutual funds and annuities are also dependent on market place forces including the successful efforts of our investment sales representatives. During the period ended June 30, 2007, VSB did not offer these services, but we expect to begin initiating these services at VSB during the second half of this year.

The most significant components to consider when comparing these two periods are the April 2, 2007 acquisition of VSB and the March 31, 2006 acquisition of Mid FL. VSB contributed $1,441,000 of non-interest expense in 2007 versus zero in 2006. Mid FL contributed $1,629,000 of non-interest expense in 2007 versus $751,000 for the three out of six months they were part of our Company during the comparable six month period in 2006. Excluding VSB and Mid FL, our net increase in non-interest expense would adjust from $3,548,000 to $1,229,000, or from 25.5% to 8.9%.

Our largest non-interest expense is employee and employee related expenses. Total salaries, wages and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2007 ($9,920,000) accounted for 57% of our total non-interest expense, compared to 58% for the same period last year. Looking at the table above, employee salaries and wages increased by 23.2% to $7,083,000 for the six month period ending June 30, 2007 (“current period”), compared to $5,748,000 for the same period last year. Our average FTEs for the current period was approximately 347 compared to 290 FTEs for the comparable period last year. Most of the FTE increase relates to the acquisition of VSB and Mid FL discussed above, as well as from opening new branches and general business growth.

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.

The increase in marketing expenses relates to the checking account marketing campaign currently in place at one of our banks. This campaign started during the fourth quarter of 2006.

The CDI amortization increase between the two periods is due to the April 2, 2007 acquisition of VSB and the March 31, 2006 acquisition of Mid FL.

We opened a temporary branch in September 2006 and another in October 2006. These two branches are operating out of temporary locations until the construction of their permanent facilities are completed. We also opened another branch in October 2006 and another in February 2007. Both of these two new branches opened in their newly constructed facilities (i.e. these two were not previously operating from temporary facilities). As discussed above, this activity also is responsible for adding additional FTEs along with the VSB and Mid FL acquisitions. This branching activity, as well as the continual growth of our business, resulted in the increase in the remainder of our non-interest expenses.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2,104,000 (an effective rate of 34.0%) compared to $2,497,000 (an effective rate of 38.3%) for the same period in 2006. The primary reason for the decrease in our effective tax rate was due to the increase in our tax exempt securities and loans.

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 measure 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 2006 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, 2006. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2007. 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.
