NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

NOTE 1: Nature of operations and basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Parent Company,” “Company” or “CSFL”), and its wholly owned subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. (“CenterState”), and non bank subsidiaries, R4ALL, Inc. and CSFL Insurance Corp. The subsidiary bank operates through 72 full service banking locations in 22 counties throughout Florida, providing traditional deposit and lending products and services to its commercial and retail customers. R4ALL, Inc. is a separate non bank subsidiary of CSFL. Its purpose is to purchase troubled loans from the subsidiary bank and manage their eventual disposition. CSFL Insurance Corp. is a non bank subsidiary of CSFL and its primary purpose is to function as a captive insurance subsidiary pursuant to Section 831(b) of the U.S. Tax Code.

In addition, the Company also operates a correspondent banking and capital markets division. The division is integrated with and part of the subsidiary bank located in Winter Haven, Florida, although the majority of its bond salesmen, traders and operational personnel are physically housed in leased facilities located in Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Winston Salem, North Carolina. The business lines of this division are primarily divided into three inter-related revenue generating activities. The first, and largest, revenue generator is commissions earned on fixed income security sales, fees from hedging services, loan brokerage fees and consulting fees for services related to these activities. The second category includes correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) and correspondent bank checking account deposits. The third revenue generating category includes fees from safe-keeping activities, bond accounting services for correspondents, asset/liability consulting related activities, international wires, and other clearing and corporate checking account services. The customer base includes small to medium size financial institutions primarily located in the Southeastern United States.

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 statements 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 the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the Company’s 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Some items in the prior period financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity.

NOTE 2: Common stock outstanding and earnings per share data

The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. There were an average of 890,410 and 586,620 stock options that were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive during the three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table presents the factors used in the earnings per share computations for the periods indicated.

	Three months ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Basic
Net (loss) income available to common shareholders	$	(4,804	)	$	9,148
Less: Earnings allocated to participating securities		-			(51	)
Net (loss) income allocated to common shareholders	$	(4,804	)	$	9,097

Weighted average common shares outstanding
including participating securities		46,343,033			45,379,982
Less: Participating securities (1)		-			(252,042	)
Average shares		46,343,033			45,127,940
Basic (loss) earnings per common share	$	(0.10	)	$	0.20

Diluted
Net income available to common shareholders	$	(4,804	)	$	9,097
Weighted average common shares outstanding for
basic earnings per common share		46,343,033			45,127,940
Add: Dilutive effects of stock based compensation awards		-			529,684
Average shares and dilutive potential common shares		46,343,033			45,657,624
Diluted (loss) earnings per common share	$	(0.10	)	$	0.20

Participating securities are restricted stock awards whereby the stock certificates have been issued, are included in outstanding shares, receive dividends and can be voted, but have not vested.

NOTE 3: Fair value

Generally accepted accounting principles establish 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) for 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).

The fair values of trading securities are determined as follows: (1) for those securities that have traded prior to the date of the consolidated balance sheet but have not settled (date of sale) until after such date, the sales price is used as the fair value; and, (2) for those securities which have not traded as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, the fair value was determined by broker price indications of similar or same securities.

The fair value of impaired loans with specific valuation allowance for loan losses and other real estate owned is based on recent real estate appraisals. For residential real estate impaired loans and other real estate owned, appraised values are based on the comparative sales approach. For commercial and commercial real estate impaired loans, and other real estate owned, appraisers may use either a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches such as comparative sales, cost or the income approach. A significant unobservable input in the income approach is the estimated income capitalization rate for a given piece of collateral. At March 31, 2016, the range of capitalization rates utilized to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral ranged from 7% to 10%. Adjustments to appraisals may be made by the appraiser to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors and may result in changes in the fair value of a given asset over time. As such, the fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned are considered a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below.

Bank property held for sale represents certain branch office buildings which the Company has closed and consolidated with other existing branches. The real estate was transferred out of the Bank Premises and Equipment category into bank property held for sale at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair values were based upon comparative sales data provided by real estate brokers. The Company transferred five properties from bank premises to bank property held for sale during the first quarter of 2016. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $456 and $682 during the three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to bank properties held for sale. In addition, the Company acquired seven branch properties held for sale as a result of the acquisitions of Community Bank of South Florida, Inc. (“Community”) and Hometown of Homestead Banking Company (“Hometown”) on March 1, 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

FHLB and FRB Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB and FRB stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Investment securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity 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).

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Loans, net: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

FDIC Indemnification Asset: It is not practical to determine the fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Accrued Interest Receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2 for accrued interest receivable related to investment securities and Level 3 for accrued interest receivable related to loans.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Corporate Debentures: The fair values of the Company’s corporate debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued Interest Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

At March 31, 2016, 100% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016.

Unrealized losses on municipal securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers bonds are of high quality, and because management does not intend to sell these investments or more likely than not will not be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment reported at March 31, 2016 include loans acquired from First Southern Bank (“FSB”) on June 1, 2014 and from Gulfstream Business Bank (“GSB”) on January 17, 2014 that are not PCI loans. These loans were performing loans recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date. The aggregate fair value adjustment for these loans at their respective acquisition dates was approximately $17,761, or approximately 2.10% of the aggregate acquisition date balances. The amount is accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the related loans on a level yield basis. The aggregate unamortized acquisition date fair value adjustment was approximately $8,639 and $9,354, which represents approximately 1.52% and 1.59% of the remaining outstanding balance of these acquired loans at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Management has also estimated probable incurred losses based on performance since the respective acquisition dates, and based on these estimates, has included $2,571 in the Company’s general loan allowance with respect to these acquired loans. Management believes the Company’s allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2016. However, management recognizes that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the Company’s markets and customers, and therefore there is no assurance as to the amount of losses or probable losses which may develop in the future.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment reported at March 31, 2016 also include loans acquired from Community and Hometown on March 1, 2016. The acquired loans were recorded at estimated fair value at acquisition; therefore, no allowance for loan losses was recorded for these loans at March 31, 2016.

In certain situations it has become more common to restructure or modify the terms of certain loans under certain conditions (i.e. troubled debt restructure or “TDRs”). In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in a distressed sale. When the terms of a loan have been modified, usually the monthly payment and/or interest rate is reduced for generally twelve to twenty-four months. Material principal amounts on any loan modifications have not been forgiven to date.

TDRs as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 quantified by loan type classified separately as accrual (performing loans) and non-accrual (non performing loans) are presented in the tables below.

Our policy is to return non accrual TDR loans to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due, pursuant to its modified terms, are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Our policy also considers the payment history of the borrower, but is not dependent upon a specific number of payments. The Company recorded a provision for loan loss expense of $112 and partial charge offs of $63 on the TDR loans described above during the three month period ending March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a provision for loan loss expense of $94 and partial charge-offs of $63 on TDR loans during the three month period ending March 31, 2015.

Loans are modified to minimize loan losses when we believe the modification will improve the borrower’s financial condition and ability to repay the loan. We typically do not forgive principal. We generally either reduce interest rates or decrease monthly payments for a temporary period of time and those reductions of cash flows are capitalized into the loan balance. We may also extend maturities, convert balloon loans to longer term amortizing loans, or vice versa, or change interest rates between variable and fixed rate. Each borrower and situation is unique and we try to accommodate the borrower and minimize the Company’s potential losses. Approximately 65% of our TDRs are current pursuant to their modified terms, and $5,381, or approximately 35% of our total TDRs are not performing pursuant to their modified terms. There does not appear to be any significant difference in success rates with one type of concession versus another.

Loans modified as TDRs during the three period ending March 31, 2016 were $1,049. The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $23 for loans modified during the three month period ending March 31, 2016. Loans modified as TDRs during the three month period ending March 31, 2015 were $909. The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $48 for loans modified during the three month period ending March 31, 2015.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans, excluding purchased credit impaired loans accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30:

Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans:

Income is recognized on PCI loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. A portion of the fair value discount has been ascribed as an accretable yield that is accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The remaining non-accretable difference represents cash flows not expected to be collected.

The table below summarizes the total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the loans as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Contractually required principal and interest payments have been adjusted for estimated prepayments.

	Mar. 31, 2016			Dec. 31, 2015
Contractually required principal and interest	$	373,886		$	332,570
Non-accretable difference		(22,227	)		(19,452	)

We adjusted our estimates of future expected losses, cash flows and renewal assumptions during the current quarter. These adjustments resulted in an increase in expected cash flows and accretable yield, and a decrease in the non-accretable difference. We reclassified approximately $3,364 and $6,057 from non-accretable difference to accretable yield during the three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015 to reflect our adjusted estimates of future expected cash flows. The table below summarizes the changes in total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the loans during the three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015.

NOTE 7: FDIC indemnification asset

The FDIC indemnification asset represents the estimated amounts due from the FDIC pursuant to the Loss Share Agreements related to the acquisition of the three failed banks acquired in 2010, the acquisition of two failed banks in 2012 and the assumption of Loss Share Agreements of two failed banks assumed by the Company pursuant to its acquisition of FSB in June 2014. On February 3, 2016, the FDIC bought out the remaining FDIC loss share agreements. As such, the FDIC indemnification asset was written-off effectively accelerating all future FDIC indemnification asset amortization expense as well as ending any future FDIC indemnification income. The activity in the FDIC loss share indemnification asset is as follows:

	Three month period ended Mar. 31, 2016			Twelve month period ended Dec. 31, 2015
Beginning of the year	$	25,795		$	49,054
Amortization, net		(1,133	)		(16,282	)

Impairment (recovery) of loan pool		-			(214	)
Loss from termination of loss share agreements		(19,079	)		-
Period end balance	$	-		$	25,795

The FDIC agreements allow for the recovery of some payments made for loss share reimbursements under certain conditions based on the actual performance of the portfolios acquired. This true-up payment was estimated and accrued for as part of the overall FDIC indemnification asset analysis and was reflected as a separate liability. The accrual for this liability was reflected as additional amortization income or expense in noninterest income. On February 3, 2016, the FDIC clawback liability was written-off as a result of the termination of FDIC loss share agreements as discussed above. The activity in the true-up payment liability is as follows:

	Three month period ended Mar. 31, 2016			Twelve month period ended Dec. 31, 2015
Beginning of the year	$	1,486		$	1,205
True-up liability accrual		33			281
Gain from termination of loss share agreements		(1,519	)		-
Period end balance	$	-		$	1,486

Impairment of loan pools

When a loan pool (with loss share) is impaired, the impairment expense is included in provision for loan losses, and the percentage of that loss to be reimbursed by the FDIC is recognized as income from FDIC reimbursement, and included in this line item. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016, there was no recovery of a prior period impairment, and therefore no reduction of indemnification income was recognized.

Indemnification revenue

Indemnification revenue represents the percentage of the cost incurred that is reimbursable by the FDIC pursuant to the related Loss Share Agreement for expenses related to the repossession process and losses incurred on the sale of OREO, or writedown of OREO values to current fair value.

Amortization, net

On the date of an FDIC acquisition, the Company estimated the amount and the timing of expected future losses that would be covered by the FDIC loss sharing agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset was initially recorded as the discounted value of the reimbursement of losses from the FDIC. Discount accretion was recognized over the estimated period of losses. The Company also updated its estimate of future losses and the timing of the losses each quarter. To the extent management estimated that future losses were less than initial estimate of future losses, management adjusted its estimates of future expected reimbursements and any decrease in the expected future reimbursements was amortized over the shorter of the loss share period or the life of the related loan by amortization in this line item.

Indemnification of foreclosure expense

Indemnification of foreclosure expense represents the percentage of foreclosure related expenses incurred and reimbursable from the FDIC. Foreclosure expense is included in non interest expense. The amount of the reimbursable portion of the expense reduces foreclosure expense included in non interest expense.

NOTE 8: Securities sold under agreement to repurchase

Our subsidiary bank enters into borrowing arrangements with our retail business customers by agreements to repurchase (“securities sold under agreements to repurchase”) under which the bank pledges investment securities owned and under their control as collateral against these one-day borrowing arrangement. These short-term borrowings totaled $31,474 at March 31, 2016 compared to $27,472 at December 31, 2015. The following table provides additional details for the periods presented.

	MBS			Municipal

NOTE 9: Business Combinations

Acquisition of Community Bank of South Florida, Inc.

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Community Bank of South Florida, Inc. (“Community”) whereby Community merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to and simultaneously with the merger of Community with and into the Company, Community’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, Community Bank of Florida, Inc. merged with and into the Company’s subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A.

The Company’s primary reasons for the transaction were to further solidify its market share in the Central and South Florida markets and expand its customer base to enhance deposit fee income and leverage operating cost through economies of scale. The acquisition increased the Company’s total assets and total deposits by approximately 12% and 14%, respectively, as compared with the balances at December 31, 2015, and is expected to positively affect the Company’s operating results to the extent the Company earns more from interest earning assets than it pays in interest on its interest bearing liabilities.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company recognized goodwill on this acquisition of $25,464 which is nondeductible for tax purposes as this acquisition is a nontaxable transaction. The goodwill is calculated based on the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Fair value estimates are based on the information available, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Fair values are preliminary estimates due to pending appraisals on loans and other real estate owned.

The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Community. The purchase price consisted of both cash and stock. Each share of Community common stock was either exchanged for $13.31 cash or 0.9148 shares of the Company’s common stock. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 29, 2016, the resulting purchase price was $64,986. The table below summarizes the purchase price calculation.

In the acquisition, the Company purchased $316,444 of loans at fair value, net of $20,439, or 6.1%, estimated discount to the outstanding principal balance, representing 12.2% of the Company’s total loans at December 31, 2015. Of the total loans acquired, management identified $43,298 with credit deficiencies. All loans that were on non-accrual status, impaired loans including TDRs and other substandard loans were considered by management to be credit impaired and are accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

In its assumption of the deposit liabilities, the Company believed the deposits assumed from the acquisition have an intangible value. The Company applied ASC Topic 805, which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles, in a business combination. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the core deposit intangible asset totaled $3,684, which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated amortization method over an estimated economic life not to exceed ten years. In determining the valuation amount, deposits were analyzed based on factors such as type of deposit, deposit retention, interest rates and age of deposit relationships.

Acquisition of Hometown of Homestead Banking Company

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Hometown of Homestead Banking Company (“Hometown”) whereby a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Hometown and, immediately thereafter, Hometown merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to and simultaneously with the merger of Hometown with and into the Company, Hometown’s subsidiary bank, 1^st National Bank of South Florida, merged with and into the Company’s subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A.

The Company’s primary reasons for the transaction were to expand its market share in the southeast Florida market, together with its acquisition of Community as described above, and expand its customer base to enhance deposit fee income and leverage operating cost through economies of scale. The acquisition increased the Company’s total assets and total deposits by approximately 8% and 8%, respectively, as compared with the balances at December 31, 2015, and is expected to positively affect the Company’s operating results to the extent the Company earns more from interest earning assets than it pays in interest on its interest bearing liabilities.

NOTE 11: Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB amended existing guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, this amendment specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim periods within that period. These amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance related to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendments in this update impact public business entities as follows: 1) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. 2) Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. 3) Eliminate the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. 4) Require entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. 5) Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. 6) Require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. 7) Clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB amended existing guidance related to the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosures on key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this update affect any entity that enters into a lease, with some specified scope exemptions. The main difference between previous guidance and this amendment is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The

CenterState Banks, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

Board decided that lessees should be required to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. In addition, disclosures are required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. To meet that objective, the Board decided to require qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The Board’s intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous guidance unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous guidance. The transition guidance in the amendment also provides specific guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, build-to-suit leases, leveraged leases, and amounts previously recognized in accordance with the business combinations guidance for leases. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(All dollar amounts presented herein are in thousands, except per share data, or unless otherwise noted.)

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT MARCH 31, 2016 AND DECEMBER 31, 2015

Overview

Our total assets increased approximately 24% between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 which was primarily the result of the acquisitions on March 1, 2016. In addition to the growth through acqusitions, organic deposit growth increased $171,077 or 5% primarily in commercial checking. The growth in liquidity from the liability increases was used primarily to support the 10% annualized loan growth (excluding PCI loans) during the period. Our loan to deposit ratio was 76.9% and 80.7% at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On March 1, 2016, we closed our previously announced transactions with Community Bank of South Florida, Inc. (“CBKS” or “Community”) and Hometown of Homestead Banking Company (“HBC” or “Hometown”) , whereby we acquired approximately $837,090 of assets including $514,231 of loans and additionally $705,912 of deposits. Furthermore, we acquired 17 branch locations of which 15 are located in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties and two are located in Polk County. The two branches in Polk County were closed in March 2016 and six additional branches are scheduled to close in May 2016.

In February 2016, we terminated all existing loss share agreements with the FDIC. As a result, the Company wrote off the remaining indemnification asset and the claw back liability, received cash from the FDIC and recognized a pretax loss on the transaction of approximately $17,560 during the current quarter.

These changes are discussed and analyzed below and on the following pages.

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits were $296,459 at March 31, 2016 (approximately 6% of total assets) as compared to $101,580 at December 31, 2015 (approximately 3% of total assets). We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans outstanding, and to some degree the amount of correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) outstanding.

Investment securities available for sale

Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. government sponsored enterprises and municipal tax exempt securities, were $707,573 at March 31, 2016 (approximately 14% of total assets) compared to $604,739 at December 31, 2015 (approximately 15% of total assets), an increase of $102,834 or 17%. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits 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 Federal Reserve Bank deposits.” We classify the majority of our securities as “available for sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates as well as future liquidity needs. Our available for sale securities are carried at fair value.

Trading securities

We also have a trading securities portfolio. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in trading securities revenue, a component of our non interest income, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Securities purchased for this portfolio have primarily been various municipal securities. A list of the activity in this portfolio is summarized below.

Investment securities held to maturity

At March 31, 2016, we had $256,849 (unamortized cost basis) of securities with an estimated fair value of $259,599, resulting in a net unrecognized gain of $2,750, compared to $272,840 (unamortized cost basis) of securities with an estimated fair value of $273,983 and a net unrecognized gain of $1,143 at December 31, 2015. This portfolio generally holds longer term securities for the primary purpose of yield. This classification was chosen to minimize temporary effects on our tangible equity and tangible equity ratio due to increases and decreases in general market interest rates.

Loans held for sale

We also have a loans held for sale portfolio, whereby we originate single family home loans and sell those mortgages into the secondary market, servicing released. These loans are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are included as a component of non-interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. A list of the activity in this portfolio is summarized below.

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 three months ended March 31, 2016, were $2,784,238 or 71.4% of average earning assets, as compared to $2,443,756, or 71.7% of average earning assets, for the three month period ending March 31, 2015. Total loans at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $3,148,221 and $2,593,776, respectively. This represents a loan to total asset ratio of 63.3% and 64.5% and a loan to deposit ratio of 76.9% and 80.7%, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Non-PCI loans

At March 31, 2016, we have total Non-PCI loans of $2,911,705. Total new loans originated during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 approximated $226.4 million, of which $188.9 million were funded. The weighted average interest rate on funded loans was approximately 3.6% during the three month period. The graph below summarizes total loan production and funded loan production over the past nine quarters. The loan origination pipeline is approximately $354 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $266 million at December 31, 2015.

PCI loans

Total Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans at March 31, 2016 were $236,516 compared to $210,528 at December 31, 2015. We acquired $45,125 of PCI loans at fair value, net of $13,010 estimated discount, with the acquisitions of Community and Hometown.

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.

Total loans at March 31, 2016 are equal to $3,148,221. Of this amount, approximately 85.5% are collateralized by real estate, 12.1% are commercial non real estate loans and the remaining 2.4% are consumer and other non real estate loans. We have approximately $882,315 of single family residential loans which represents about 28% of our total loan portfolio. Our largest category of loans is commercial real estate which represents approximately 52.7% of our total loan portfolio.

The following table sets forth information concerning the loan portfolio by collateral types as of the dates indicated.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses incurred 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 three components. The first component is an allocation for impaired loans, as defined by ASC 310. Impaired loans are those loans whereby management has arrived at a determination that the Company will not be repaid according to the original terms of the loan agreement. 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 be repaid 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.

Commercial, commercial real estate, land, land development and construction loans in excess of $500 are monitored and evaluated for impairment on an individual loan basis. Commercial, commercial real estate, land, land development and construction loans less than $500 are evaluated for impairment on a pool basis. All consumer and single family residential loans are evaluated for impairment on a pool basis.

On at least a quarterly basis, management reviews each impaired loan to determine whether it should have a specific reserve or partial charge-off. Management relies on appraisals to help make this determination. Updated appraisals are obtained for collateral dependent loans when a loan is scheduled for renewal or refinance. In addition, if the classification of the loan is downgraded to substandard, identified as impaired, or placed on nonaccrual status (collectively “Problem Loans”), an updated appraisal is obtained if the loan amount is greater than $500 and individually evaluated for impairment.

After an updated appraisal is obtained for a Problem Loan, as described above, an additional updated appraisal will be obtained on at least an annual basis. Thus, current appraisals for Problem Loans in excess of $500 will not be older than one year.

After the initial updated appraisal is obtained for a Problem Loan and before its next annual appraisal update is due, management considers the need for a downward adjustment to the current appraisal amount to reflect current market conditions, based on management’s analysis, judgment and experience. In an extremely volatile market, we may update the appraisal prior to the one year anniversary date.

The second component is a general allowance on all of the Company’s loans other than PCI loans and those identified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent two years. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are residential loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans, commercial and industrial and consumer and other. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic, or qualitative, factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; levels and trends in special mention and substandard loans; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The third component consists of amounts reserved for purchased credit impaired loans. On a quarterly basis, the Company updates the amount of loan principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected loan principal cash flows trigger the recognition of impairment, which is then measured as the present value of the expected principal loss plus any related foregone interest cash flows discounted at the pool’s effective interest rate. Impairments that occur after the acquisition date are recognized through the provision for loan losses. Probable and significant increases in expected principal cash flows would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for loan losses; any remaining increases are recognized prospectively as interest income. The impacts of (i) prepayments, (ii) changes in variable interest rates, and (iii) any other changes in the timing of expected cash flows are recognized prospectively as adjustments to interest income. Disposals of loans, which may include sales of loans, receipt of payments in full by the borrower, or foreclosure, result in removal of the loan from the PCI portfolio. The aggregate of these three components results in our total allowance for loan losses.

In the table below we have shown the components, as discussed above, of our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

These are performing acquired loans that were recorded at estimated fair value on the related acquisition dates. The total net unamortized fair value adjustment at March 31, 2016 was approximately $19,030 or 1.7% of the aggregate outstanding related loan balances. Prior to March 31, 2016, the Company did not previously include loans acquired pursuant to the TD Bank and Federal Trust acquisitions that occurred in 2011. Acquired loans currently include performing loans acquired from the TD Bank acquisition (year 2011), the Federal Trust acquisition (year 2011), the Gulfstream Bank acquisition (year 2014), the First Southern Bank acquisition (year 2014), the Community Bank acquisition (year 2016) and the Hometown of Homestead Banking Company acquisition (year 2016). All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to this new presentation format.

The general loan loss allowance (non-impaired loans) relating to originated loans increased by $1,091 resulting primarily from an increase in loans outstanding. Net changes resulting from a mixture of decreases and increases in the Company’s various two year historical loss factors and qualitative factors also slightly affected the net change.

The general loan loss allowance (non-impaired loans) relating to acquired loans decreased by $236 resulting primarily from a decrease in loans outstanding, excluding the two bank acquisitions (Community Bank and Hometown of Homestead Banking Company) which occurred during the current quarter. At March 31, 2016 the loans acquired from these two acquisitions were equal to approximately $456,398. These loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the March 1, 2016 acquisition date. As such, there is no allowance for loan losses associated with these loans as of March 31, 2016. The unamortized acquisition date fair value adjustment related to these loans at March 31, 2016 was approximately $10,162, or 2.2% of the related aggregate outstanding loan balances.

The specific loan loss allowance (impaired loans) for both originated loans and acquired loans is the aggregate of the results of individual analyses prepared for each one of the impaired loans, excluding PCI loans. Total impaired loans at March 31, 2016 are equal to $27,914 ($24,496 originated impaired loans plus $3,418 acquired impaired loans).

The Company recorded partial charge offs in lieu of specific allowance for a number of the impaired loans. The Company’s impaired loans have been written down by $1,210 to $27,914 ($26,830 when the $1,084 specific allowance is considered) from their legal unpaid principal balance outstanding of $29,124. In the aggregate, total impaired loans have been written down to approximately 92% of their legal unpaid principal balance, and non-performing impaired loans have been written down to approximately 90% of their legal unpaid principal balance. Approximately $13,395 of the Company’s impaired loans (48%) are accruing performing loans. This group of impaired loans is not included in the Company’s non-performing loans or non-performing assets categories.

PCI loans are accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. PCI loan pools are evaluated for impairment each quarter. If a pool is impaired, an allowance for loan loss is recorded.

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. We believe our allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2016. However, we recognize that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the Company’s markets and customers, and therefore there is no assurance as to the amount of losses or probable losses which may develop in the future.

The tables below summarize the changes in allowance for loan losses during the periods presented.

Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets

Non performing loans exclude PCI loans and are defined as non accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Generally, 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. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Non performing loans, as defined above, as a percentage of total non-PCI loans, were 0.85% at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2015.

Non performing assets, excluding assets covered by FDIC loss share agreements, (which we define as non performing loans, as defined above, plus (a) OREO (i.e., real estate acquired through foreclosure, in substance foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (b) other repossessed assets that are not real estate), were $40,888 at March 31, 2016, compared to $22,545 at December 31, 2015. Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.82% at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2015. The table below summarizes selected credit quality data at the dates indicated.

note 2:

Excludes OREO covered by FDIC loss share agreements.

As shown in the table above, the largest component of non performing loans excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements is non accrual loans. As of March 31, 2016 the Company had non accrual loans with an aggregate carrying value of $24,865 compared to December 31, 2015 when an aggregate book value of $20,833 was reported.

The second largest component of non performing assets after non accrual loans is OREO. At March 31, 2016, total OREO was $15,937 compared to $11,196 at December 31, 2015 (of which $9,629 was previously covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements). On March 1, 2016, we acquired $6,774 in OREO from Community and Hometown after fair value adjustments. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or market less the estimated cost to sell. Further declines in real estate values can affect the market value of these assets. Any further decline in market value beyond its cost basis is recorded as a current expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Impaired loans are defined as loans that management has determined will not repay as agreed pursuant to the terms of the related loan agreement. Small balance homogeneous loans are not considered for impairment purposes. Once management has determined a loan is impaired, we perform a specific reserve analysis to determine if it is probable that we will eventually collect all contractual cash flows. If management determines that a shortfall is probable, then a specific valuation allowance is placed against the loan. This loan is then placed on non accrual basis, even if the borrower is current with his/her contractual payments, and will remain on non accrual until payments collected reduce the loan balance such that it eliminates the specific valuation allowance or equivalent partial charge-down or other economic conditions change. At March 31, 2016 we have identified a total of $27,914 impaired loans, excluding PCI loans. A specific valuation allowance of $1,084 has been attached to $6,867 of impaired loans included in the total $27,914 of identified impaired loans. It should also be noted that the total carrying balance of the impaired loans, or $27,914, has been partially charged down by $1,210 from their aggregate legal unpaid balance of $29,124.

The table below summarizes impaired loan data for the periods presented.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $116,734 at March 31, 2016 compared to $101,821 at December 31, 2015, an increase of $14,913 or 14.6%. The primary component of the increase is $22,814 of branch real estate acquired on March 1, 2016 with the purchase of Community and Hometown. In addition, we transferred $7,550 of branch real estate that is no longer in use to held for sale at estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell. A summary of our bank premises and equipment for the period end indicated is presented in the table below.

We transferred branch real estate that is no longer in use to held for sale at estimated fair value less estimated cost to sell and sold two properties during the three months ending March 31, 2016. Our branch real estate held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $8,069 and $1,665, respectively, a net increase of $6,404. The reduction due to the two sold properties is offset by the transfers into held for sale of $7,092, after impairment expense of $458.

Deposits

The cost of interest bearing deposits in the current quarter remained at 0.26% compared to the prior quarter. The overall cost of total deposits (i.e. includes non-interest bearing checking accounts) in the current quarter increased 1 bp to 0.17% compared to the prior quarter. On March 1, 2016, we acquired approximately $705.9 million in deposits from Community and Hometown. See “Overview” for additional information on regarding this transaction. The table below summarizes the Company’s deposit mix for the periods presented.

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase

Federal funds purchased

Federal funds purchased are overnight deposits from correspondent banks. Federal funds purchased acquired from other than our correspondent bank deposits are included with Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds as described below, if any. At March 31, 2016 we had $225,298 of correspondent bank deposits or federal funds purchased, compared to $200,250 at December 31, 2015.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds

From time to time, we borrow either through Federal Home Loan Bank advances or Federal Funds Purchased, other than correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) listed above. At March 31, 2016 there were no outstanding advances compared to $25,000 at December 31, 2015.

Corporate debentures

On January 22, 2016, we purchased, redeemed and terminated the Gulfstream Bancshares Capital Trust I $7,000 corporate debenture and recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $308. On March 1, 2016, we assumed $16,000 in corporate debentures from Hometown of which we partially redeemed and terminated $6,000. These corporate debentures were assumed through acquisitions, and as a result, were carried at less than par value at the time of termination.

Below is a schedule of statutory trust entities and the related corporate debentures formed and assumed through various acquisitions:


	Amount	Interest Rate	Maturity
CenterState Banks of Florida Statutory Trust I	$10,000	LIBOR + 3.05%	Sep. 2033

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2016, was $519,461, or 10.5% of total assets, compared to $490,514, or 12.2% of total assets at December 31, 2015. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to the following items:


$490,514	Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2015
(4,804)	Net loss during the period
(1,918)	Dividends paid on common shares ($0.04 per common share)

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 March 31, 2016, our subsidiary bank exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “well capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios. The Company and the Bank are now subject to a capital conservation buffer in addition to the minimum risk-based capital ratios. The Company and Bank capital conservation buffer is determined by calculating the margin between the Company’s and Bank’s three risk-based asset ratios and the minimum required adequately capitalized ratio, with the lowest of the three margins resulting in the capital conservation buffer. The required buffer will be phased in over three years beginning January 1, 2016, and the phase-in amount for 2016 is 0.625 percent of risk-weighted assets. Failure to maintain the buffer will result in restrictions on the ability to make capital distributions and

to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. As of March 31, 2016, management believes that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Selected consolidated capital ratios at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 for the Company and for the Company’s subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A., are presented in the tables below.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 2016 AND 2015

Overview

We recognized a net loss of $4,804 or $0.10 per share basic and diluted for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $9,148 or $0.20 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2015. A summary of the differences are listed in the table below.

	3 months ended			3 months ended			increase

Net income	$	(4,804	)	$	9,148			(13,952	)

The primary differences between the two quarters presented above relate to the termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in February 2016 resulting in a charge of $17,560 and merger related expenses of $11,172 for the acquisitions of Community and Hometown on March 1, 2016. Other differences between both quarters include lower IA amortization expense due to the termination of FDIC loss share agreements as stated above, increased correspondent revenue from our capital markets division and higher net interest income.

The increase in our net interest income relates primarily to the increase in our average interest earning assets as a result of the loan growth and the increase in interest accretion in our PCI loan portfolio. The increase in our “all other non interest expense,” which represents the operating expenses of our commercial/retail banking segment, is primarily due to the acquisition of Community and Hometown as of March 1, 2016. These items along with others are discussed and analyzed below.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $3,855 or 10.3% to $41,475 during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to $37,620 for the same period in 2015. The $3,855 increase was the result of a $4,013 increase in interest income and a $158 increase in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $3,899,028 during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $3,406,822 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $492,206, or 14.4%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 21bps to 4.49% (19 bps to 4.56% tax equivalent basis) during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to 4.70% (4.75% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2015. The combined effects of the $492,206 increase in average interest earning assets and the 21bps (19bps tax equivalent basis) decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $4,013 ($4,274 tax equivalent basis) increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $2,519,372 during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $2,265,656 for the same period in 2015, an increase of $253,716 or 11.2%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 1bp to 0.32%

during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, compared to 0.33% for the same period in 2015. The combined effects of the $253,716 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 1bp decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $158 increase in interest expense between the two periods.

The table below summarizes the analysis of changes in interest income and interest expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 on a tax equivalent basis.

The primary reason for the decrease in our net interest margin (“NIM”) during the current quarter was due to the mix of interest earning assets between the two quarters. Higher average balances in lower yielding assets, such as taxable securities and federal funds sold, and lower average balances in higher yielding assets, such as PCI loans, in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter contributed to the decrease in NIM.

The Company acquired two banks, Community and Hometown (the “Homestead” banks), on March 1, 2016. As such, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were included in the current quarter averages, but only for one month. In addition to the effect these two banks had on the Company’s average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, there also was acceleration of

certain loan interest income accretion. The tables below summarize these effects on the Company’s yield on both PCI loans and non-PCI loans during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.

Note 1:

Excludes the estimated effect of the Homestead acquisitions, estimated effect of the Fed’s interest rate increase in December 2015 on the Company’s floating interest rate loans, accelerated accretion and other interest adjustments.

The adjusted average interest rate on Non-PCI loans, as shown in the table above, decreased from 4.30% during the fourth quarter of 2015 to 4.24% during the first quarter of 2016. The primary reason for this, after adjustments, is due to new loan production being added during the current quarter at an approximate average interest rate of 3.6%. Until the Company’s new loan production average interest rate approximates the average existing portfolio interest rate, it will have a contracting effect on the overall average interest rate on the loan portfolio, as shown in the above table. The average interest rate on the acquired Homestead loans added on March 1, 2016 is higher than the average existing portfolio rate, which results in a positive effect on the loan portfolio. These loans will be outstanding for the entire quarter during the second quarter of 2016 versus one month during the first quarter of 2016, and as such are expected to partially offset the contracting effect of lower interest rates on new loan production.

The recently acquired Homestead PCI loans have an average accretable yield (8.32%) that is lower than the Company’s existing accretable yield as shown in the PCI loan table above. Although the blended average interest rate on this portfolio is lower when these are added, the interest income amount will be larger, which produces a positive effect on our NIM. As with the Non-PCI loans, the acquired Homestead PCI loans will be outstanding for the entire second quarter of 2016 versus one month during the first quarter of 2016.

The table below summarizes the Company’s NIM, as reported on the previous page, and the NIM excluding accelerated interest income accretion related to both PCI and non-PCI loans for the periods presented.

NIM, excluding accelerated accretion	$40,988	4.23%	$39,155	4.29%

Note 1:Tax equivalent basis.

Note 2:Includes both PCI and non-PCI loans.

As shown in the tables above, the Company’s reported NIMs for the current quarter and the previous quarter were 4.35% and 4.37%, respectively. Excluding the accelerated interest income accretion, as shown above, the NIMs for the current quarter and the previous quarter were 4.23% and 4.29%, respectively. If the PCI loans were producing a yield similar to the Company’s non-PCI loans, the NIMs during the current quarter and previous quarter would have been approximately 3.68% and 3.61%, respectively. The primary reason for the increase to 3.68% was the higher average rate on the Homestead non-PCI loan yields that were acquired March 1, 2016 and the effect of the December 2015 Fed’s interest rate increase on the Company’s floating rate loans less the effect of the lower average interest rates on the Company’s new loan production.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $1,132 to $510 during the three month period ending March 31, 2016 compared to provision expense of $1,642 for the comparable period in 2015. Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses 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 the 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. The decrease in our loan loss provision between the comparable periods is primarily a result of net recoveries versus net charge-offs, as well as improved credit metrics used to determine the appropriate allowance for loan losses. See “Credit quality and allowance for loan losses” for additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $14,561 compared to $9,081 for the comparable period in 2015. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below.

	Mar 31,			Mar 31,			$ increase			% increase

note 1:

Includes gross commissions earned on bond sales, fees from hedging services, loan brokering fees and related consulting fees. The fee income in this category is based on sales volume in any particular period and is therefore volatile between comparable periods.

note 2:

Includes fees from safe-keeping activities, bond accounting services, asset/liability consulting services, international wires, clearing and corporate checking account services and other correspondent banking related revenue and fees. The fees included in this category are less volatile than those described above in note 1.

“Income from correspondent banking capital markets division” increased between the two periods presented above due to increased fees from hedging services and loan brokering fees. In addition, the termination of the FDIC loss share agreements in February resulted in no further FDIC indemnification asset amortization which increased non-interest income by $3,184 compared to the same period in 2015. Lastly, the early extinguishment of trust preferred debt in the period resulted in a gain of $308.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $32,250, or 105.4%, to $62,853, compared to $30,603 for the same period in 2015. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below.

note 1:

These are foreclosure and repossession related expenses related to FDIC covered assets, and are shown net of FDIC reimbursable amounts pursuant to FDIC loss share agreements.

Excluding net impairments on bank property held for sale, merger related expenses and charges related to termination of FDIC loss sharing agreements, our non interest expenses increased $3,106, or 10.2% to $33,665 during the current quarter compared to $30,559 during the same quarter last year. The overall primary reason for the increase relates to the acquisitions of Community and Hometown on March 1, 2016.

Provision for income taxes

We recognized an income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $2,523 on a pre-tax loss of $7,327 (an effective tax rate of 34.4%) compared to an income tax provision of $5,308 on pre-tax income of $14,456 (an effective tax rate of 36.7%) for the comparable quarter in 2015. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rates is due to a larger percentage of tax exempt interest income relative to total revenue and the impact of CSFL Insurance Corp, the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary, incorporated in December 2015 pursuant to section 831(b) of the U.S. Tax Code.

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.

Our subsidiary bank 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. The subsidiary bank’s asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends guidelines, subject to the approval of its board of directors, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements except for approved and unfunded loans and letters of credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES: MARKET RISK

Market risk

We believe interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. We monitor and manage interest rate risk using interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis to measure the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as of December 31, 2015. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of March 31, 2016. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial.

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 was no change 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 has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
