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 four subsidiary banks operate through 37 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, 2007. 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, 2008 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 include the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the further dilution from stock options using the treasury method. There were 878,000 stock options that were anti dilutive at June 30, 2008.

NOTE 3: Comprehensive income

NOTE 4: Sale of bank branch office real estate

The Company sold one of its branch office buildings on April 1, 2008 for $2,500,000 and simultaneously entered into an agreement to lease back the real estate for a period of one year with an option to renew the lease for an additional year. Part of the gain, approximately $120,000, was deferred pursuant to sale lease-back accounting rules, and the remaining amount of the gain, approximately $1,483,000, was recognized currently during the current quarter.

NOTE 5: Fair value

FASB Statement No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

NOTE 6: Effect of new pronouncements

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 standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.

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

Table of Contents

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. The impact of adoption was not material.

On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings (“SAB 109”). Previously, SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 is effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption was not material.

 

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

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007

Overview

Total assets were $1,222,140,000 as of June 30, 2008, compared to $1,217,430,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $4,710,000 or 0.4%. Our assets remained stable period to period, a reflection of the current economic environment.

Federal funds sold and money market accounts

Federal funds sold and money market accounts were $36,671,000 at June 30, 2008 (approximately 3.0% of total assets) as compared to $42,155,000 at December 31, 2007 (approximately 3.5% 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. government agency securities, municipal tax exempt securities, and U.S. Treasury securities were $193,449,000 at June 30, 2008 (approximately 16% of total assets) compared to $199,434,000 at December 31, 2007 (approximately 16% of total assets), a decrease of $5,985,000 or 3%. 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, 2008, were $838,915,000, or 77% of average earning assets, as compared to $813,927,000, or 74% of average earning assets, for the quarter ending June 30, 2007. Total loans, net of unearned fees and cost, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $849,058,000 and $841,405,000, respectively, an increase of $7,653,000, or 0.9%. This represents a loan to total asset ratio of 69% and 69% and a loan to deposit ratio of 88% and 87%, at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The reduction in loan growth during this period was due to the current economic environment in general and the lending environment in particular in central Florida.

Total residential real estate loans totaled $211,602,000 or 25% of our total loans as of June 30, 2008. 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 $409,131,000, or 48% of our total loans. Construction, development, and land loans totaled $91,514,000, or 11% of our loans. As a group, all of our real estate collateralized loans represent approximately 84% of our total loans at June 30, 2008. The remaining 16% is comprised of commercial loans (9%) and consumer loans (7%).

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.

The following table sets forth information concerning the loan portfolio by collateral types as of the dates indicated (dollars are in thousands).

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.

In the table below we have shown the two components, as discussed above, of our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

As shown in the table above, our allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.37% at June 30, 2008 compared to 1.29% at December 31, 2007. Our ALLL increased by $771,000 during this six month period. Of this amount, $418,000 relates to an increase in our Component 2, or general allowance, as described and discussed above. This increase is primarily due to changes in the loan portfolio mix, changes in our historical charge-off rates and the increase in our loan portfolio. The remaining $353,000 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. The increase in our specific allowance is the result of charge-offs taken during the period, the change in the mix of impaired loans, and the growth in impaired loans.

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, 2008, 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.

Non performing loans and non performing assets

Non performing loans are defined as non accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. 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. Non performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.23% at June 30, 2008, compared to 0.48% at December 31, 2007.

Non performing assets (which we define as non performing loans, as defined above, plus (a) OREO (i.e. real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (b) other repossessed assets that are not real estate), were $13,089,000 at June 30, 2008, compared to $12,474,000 at March 31, 2008. Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 1.07% at June 30, 2008, compared to 0.40% at December 31, 2007.

As shown in the table below, the largest component of non performing loans is non accrual loans, which as of June 30, 2008 management had identified a total of $10,385,000 (60 loans). Of this amount approximately $2,816,000 or 27% are residential real estate loans (19 loans); approximately $4,054,000 or 39% are commercial real estate loans (9 loans); approximately $2,339,000 or 23% are construction, acquisition and development, and land loans (13 loans); approximately $939,000 or 9% are commercial loans (6 loans); and $237,000 or 2% are consumer and all other loans (13 loans).

We have no construction or development loans with national builders. We do business with local builders and developers that have typically been long time customers. As indicated above, non accrual construction, acquisition and development, and land loans totaled $2,339,000 at June 30, 2008. This category includes the following loans: 6 loans for $1,065,000 collateralized by 17 residential lots; 3 loans for $637,000 collateralized by three single family homes under construction (spec homes); and, 4 loans for $637,000 for land, other than developed lots. Six of these thirteen loans have a specific allowance which in the aggregate totals $340,000.

The largest non accrual loan we had on our books as of June 30, 2008 is a commercial real estate loan for $1,136,000. The average size non accrual loan is approximately $173,000.

OREO at June 30, 2008 was $2,270,000, which represents eight single family homes ($1,951,000), one mobile home with land ($86,000), and one commercial real estate property ($233,000).

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $58,093,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $55,458,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $2,635,000 or 4.8%. This amount is the result of purchases and construction costs totaling $4,551,000 less $1,195,000 of depreciation expense and $721,000 relating to the sale of bank branch real estate. Most of these costs relate to construction activity at several of our office locations.

Deposits

Deposit growth, in particular core deposit (i.e. non time deposit) growth, has been a challenge. Core deposit growth has been and remains a primary focus for us. Our subsidiary Presidents have initiated various incentive programs throughout their Banks as well as other marketing efforts targeted at core deposit growth.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, total deposits decreased by $8,293,000, or 0.9%. Although total deposits decreased slightly, this is a net result. The underlying metrics indicate the following. That is, time deposits (our higher cost deposits) decreased by $58,857,000, or 11.0%, and core deposits (deposits other than time deposits) increased by $50,564,000, or 11.6%. Furthermore, time deposits were 49% of total deposits at June 30, 2008 compared to 55% at December 31, 2007. This favorable shift in deposit mix along with the repricing of time deposits as they mature subsequent to the

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 $33,613,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $33,128,000 at December 31, 2007, resulting in an increase of $485,000, or 1.5%.

Other borrowed funds

From time to time we borrow short-term either through Federal Home Loan Bank advances or Federal Funds Purchased. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were as follows (amounts are in thousands of dollars).

Corporate debentures

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 of the Company. 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 the Company or the Trust, at their respective option after five years, and sooner in specific

events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. The Company has 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. On April 2, 2007, the Company 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. 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 the Company 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.

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, 2008, each of our four subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “well capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007

Overview

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,468,000 or $0.12 per share basic and diluted, compared to $2,280,000 or $0.18 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2007. The primary reasons for this difference were: (1) the 38bps decrease in our net interest margin which decreased from 4.13% in the second quarter of 2007 to 3.75% in the second quarter of 2008; (2) our loan loss provision was $1,139,000 higher in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year, and; (3) we recognized a one time non recurring gain of $1,483,000 from the sale of a bank branch office real estate transaction during the current quarter, which partially offset some of the negative impact to earnings listed in (1) and (2).

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, 2008 was 3.93% and 0.48%, respectively, as compared to 6.41% and 0.74%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income decreased $1,214,000 or 11% to $10,030,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $11,244,000 for the same period in 2007. The $1,214,000 decrease was the result of a $2,757,000 decrease in interest income less a $1,543,000 decrease in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,092,428,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,106,713,000 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $14,285,000, or 1.3%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 90bps to 6.21% (90bps to 6.27% tax equivalent basis) during the three month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to 7.11% (7.17% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2007. The combined effects of the $14,285,000 decrease in average interest earning assets and the 90bps (90bps tax equivalent basis) decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $2,757,000 ($2,742,000 tax equivalent basis) decrease in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $905,504,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $888,501,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $17,003,000, or 1.9%.

The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 74bps to 3.04% during the three month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to 3.78% for the same period in 2007. The combined effects of the $17,003,000 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 74bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $1,543,000 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $1,139,000, or 303%, to $1,515,000 during the three month period ending June 30, 2008 compared to $376,000 for the comparable period in 2007. 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, 2008 was $3,270,000 compared to $1,903,000 for the comparable period in 2007. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below (amounts listed are in thousands of dollars).

During the current quarter, we sold one of our branch bank sites and simultaneously entered into an agreement to lease back the real estate for a period of one year with an option to renew the lease for an additional year. A pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1,483,000 was recognized during April. The branch office has been operating from its current location since October 1996. It has approximately $14 million in deposits and $12 million in loans. The sale was for the real estate only. It is our intention to eventually transfer the related customer accounts to either a new branch office that has not yet been identified or to one of our existing branch locations. Excluding this transaction, our non-interest income for the first quarter was $1,787,000, which was $116,000 or 6.1% less than our non-interest income for the similar quarter last year. The largest component contributing to the decline was “service charges on deposit accounts,” which was $128,000 or 11.2% less in the current quarter compared to the similar quarter last year. Of this decrease, $112,000 of it relates to a decrease in NSF fees. We recognized $704,000 of NSF fees during the current quarter, which was $112,000 or 13.7% less than the $816,000 of NSF fees recognized in the comparable quarter last year. As reported previously, one of our banks initiated an on-going checking account marketing campaign during the fourth quarter of 2006

which is designed to increase fees, as well as increase the number of checking accounts. Primarily as a result of this program, this bank’s NSF fees have continually increased. During the current quarter, this bank reported NSF fees of $294,000 which was a $15,000 or 5% increase over the $279,000 of NSF fees reported for the comparable quarter last year. Our remaining banks had a net decrease in their NSF fees for comparable quarters of approximately $127,000 which is primarily due to changing the daily customer account cut-off time to a later hour in the day.

Commissions from mortgage broker activities are dependent on market place forces including supply and demand of single family residential property in our local markets. The single family real estate market has slowed downed considerably in our market areas in central Florida. 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. Commissions earned are expected to fluctuate period to period.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $241,000, or 2.6%, to $9,603,000, compared to $9,362,000 for the same period in 2007. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

Table of Contents

increase were increases in employee salaries and wages, bank regulatory related expenses, foreclosure and repossession related expenses and operational write-offs and losses. Increases in these components were offset by decreases in employee incentive/bonus compensation, employee health insurance expenses and data processing related expenses.

Employee salaries and wages increased $273,000 or 7.1% period to period, as shown in the above table. Part of the increase is due to a larger number of full time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) and part is due to an increase in employee salary and wage expense per FTE. Average FTEs in the current quarter were 384 compared to 376 during the same quarter last year, an increase of 8 or 2.1%. Employee salary and wage expense per FTE during the current quarter was $10,711 per FTE, compared to $10,213 per FTE during the same quarter last year, an increase of $498 per FTE, or 4.9%. The growth in number of FTEs is primarily due to our continued effort to grow our business and normal timing issues relating to normal employee turnover and replacement efforts. The cost per FTE relates to a combination of normal salary increases and the mix of employee level.

We do not view the decrease in our employee incentive/bonus compensation as a positive event. The bulk of our bonus and incentive plans are tied to the earnings and growth of our Company. If our incentive/bonus compensation expenses are decreasing it is because our earnings and growth are likewise not doing as well.

Employee health insurance, as listed in the table above, decreased $100,000 between the two periods presented. We have been proactive in this area since 2007. Effective October 1, 2007, we changed insurance company and third party administrators, and effective January 1, 2008, we initiated a Health Savings Account plan (“HSA”), as well as other consumer driven initiatives. We do not necessarily expect a decrease in employee health insurance expense for the year 2008, but we do expect very little, if any, increase in this expense from our 2007 levels. For the first six months of 2008, we recognized expenses of $984,000 compared to $1,117,000 during the comparable period in 2007, a $133,000 or 11.9% decrease period to period.

Data processing expenses, as listed in the table above, decreased by $72,000 between the two periods presented. Beginning in December 2007 and ending in February 2008, we converted each of our banks’ core processing to in-house data processing solutions. By making this change, we expect net savings to approximate $300,000 per year on a comparable basis.

Bank regulatory expenses increased by $107,000 or 97.3% between the two quarters listed in the table above. The banking regulatory authorities began increasing their charges to our banks during the fourth quarter of 2007. Given the current banking environment, we expect these higher charges to continue into the foreseeable future.

Increase in foreclosure and repossession related expenses is reflective of the current environment and consistent with the increase in our repossessed real estate (OREO) and activity in our repossessed assets other than real estate. Increase in operational write-offs and losses are a result of bad check write-offs, teller errors, processing errors and robberies.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $714,000 (an effective rate of 32.7%) compared to $1,129,000 (an effective rate of 33.1%) for the same period in 2007. 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, 2008 AND 2007

Overview

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,579,000 or $0.21 per share basic and diluted, compared to $4,088,000 or $0.35 per share basic and $0.34 per share diluted for the same period in 2007. Factors contributing to this decrease include: (1) the 42bps decrease in our net interest margin which decreased from 4.11% for the first half of 2007 to 3.69% for the first half of 2008; (2) our loan loss provision was $1,461,000 higher in the current period compared to the same period last year; (3) new branches opened in February 2007, May 2007 and August 2007 have not yet produced incremental revenue in excess of their incremental cost, which has had a greater negative effect on our earnings during the first half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2007 because they were not opened for the full six months in 2007; and (4) we recognized a one time non recurring gain of $1,483,000 from the sale of a bank branch office real estate transaction during the current period, which partially offset some of the negative impact to earnings listed in (1), (2) and (3).

ROE and ROA, calculated on an annualized basis, for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was 3.45% and 0.42%, respectively, as compared to 6.30% and 0.72%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income decreased $998,000 or 4.8% to $19,844,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to $20,842,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease was the result of a $1,311,000 decrease in interest income less a $313,000 decrease in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,100,782,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,035,542,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $65,240,000, or 6.3%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 68bps to 6.36% (66bps to 6.43% tax equivalent basis) during the six month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to 7.04% (7.09% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2007. The combined net effects of the $65,240,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 68bps (66bps tax equivalent basis) decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $1,311,000 ($1,257,000 tax equivalent basis) decrease in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $910,075,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $817,322,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $92,753,000, or 11.3%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 47bps to 3.31% during the six month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to 3.78% for the same period in 2007. The combined net effects of the $92,753,000 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 47bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $313,000 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $1,461,000, or 222%, to $2,119,000 during the six month period ending June 30, 2008 compared to $658,000 for the comparable period in 2007. 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, 2008 was $5,141,000 compared to $3,443,000 for the comparable period in 2007, resulting in an increase of $1,698,000, or 49.3%. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below. Amounts listed are in thousands of dollars.

During the current quarter, we sold one of our branch bank sites and simultaneously entered into an agreement to lease back the real estate for a period of one year with an option to renew the lease for an additional year. A pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $1,483,000 was recognized during April. The branch office has been operating from its current location since October 1996. It has approximately $14 million in deposits and $12 million in loans. The sale was for the real estate only. It is our intention to eventually transfer the related customer accounts to either a new branch office that has not yet been identified or to one of our existing branch locations. Excluding this transaction, our non-interest income for the first half of 2008 was $3,658,000, which was $215,000 or 6.2% more than our non-interest income for the similar period last year.

We acquired Valrico State Bank (“VSB”) on April 2, 2007. As such, six months of non-interest income from VSB ($429,000) was included in the six month period ending June 30, 2008, compared to three months ($215,000) in the comparable period in 2007.

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. These two categories will vary from period to period.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,645,000, or 9.4%, to $19,080,000, compared to $17,435,000 for the same period in 2007. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

The most significant component to consider when comparing these two periods are the April 2, 2007 acquisition of VSB. VSB contributed $2,721,000 of non-interest expense in 2008 versus $1,441,000 in 2007. Excluding VSB, our net increase in non-interest expense would adjust from $1,645,000 to $365,000 or from 9.4% to 2.3%.

Employee salaries and wages increased $1,020,000 or 14.4% period to period, as shown in the above table. Most of the increase is due to a larger number of full time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) and part is due to an increase in employee salary and wage expense per FTE. Average FTEs during the first half of 2008 were 383 compared to 347 during the same period last year, an increase of 36 or 10.4%. This increase in FTEs was primarily due to the acquisition of VSB, as discussed above. Employee salary and wage expense per FTE during the current period was $21,157 per FTE, compared to $20,412 per FTE during the same period last year, an increase of $745 per FTE, or 3.6%. The cost per FTE relates to a combination of normal salary increases and the mix of employee level.

The decrease in our employee incentive/bonus compensation is a reflection of how well the Company’s performing during the current period relative to the comparable period last year. The bulk of our bonus and incentive plans are tied to the earnings and growth of our Company. If our incentive/bonus compensation expenses are decreasing it is because our earnings and growth are likewise not doing as well.

Employee health insurance, as listed in the table above, decreased $133,000 between the two periods presented. We have been proactive in this area since 2007. Effective October 1, 2007, we changed insurance company and third party administrators, and effective January 1, 2008, we initiated a Health Savings Account plan (“HSA”), as well as other consumer driven initiatives. We do not necessarily expect a decrease in employee health insurance expense for the year 2008, but we do expect very little, if any, increase in this expense from our 2007 levels. For the first six months of 2008, we recognized expenses of $984,000 compared to $1,117,000 during the comparable period in 2007, a $133,000 or 11.9% decrease period to period.

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.

Occupancy and depreciation expense combined increased by $341,000 during the current period compared to the same period last year. The majority of the increase (approximately $201,000) is due to the acquisition of VSB discussed above. The remaining amount primarily relates to the branches we opened in February 2007, May 2007 and August 2007.

Bank regulatory expenses increased by $193,000 or 92.8% between the two periods listed in the table above. The banking regulatory authorities began increasing their charges to our banks during the fourth quarter of 2007. Given the current banking environment, we expect these higher charges to continue into the foreseeable future

Increase in foreclosure and repossession related expenses is reflective of the current environment and consistent with the increase in our repossessed real estate (OREO) and activity in our repossessed assets other than real estate.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,207,000 (an effective rate of 31.9%) compared to $2,104,000 (an effective rate of 34.0%) for the same period in 2007. 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.

 

25


Table of Contents

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 2007 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, 2007. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2008. 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.
