CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Accounting and reporting policies for the allowance for loan losses are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Losses on loans result from a broad range of causes from borrower specific problems, to industry issues, to the impact of the economic environment. The identification of these factors that lead to default or non-performance under a borrower loan agreement and the estimation of loss in these situations are very subjective. In addition, a dramatic change in the performance of one or a small number of borrowers can have a significant impact on the estimate of losses. Management has implemented a process that has been applied consistently to systematically consider the many variables that impact the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses is included in the 20032004 Annual Report and 10-K.

NOTE 7 – EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMMON STOCK

Earnings per share have been computed based on the following weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31:

              
 2004
 2003
 2005 2004 
For the three months ended March 31: 
Basic 4,462,493 4,050,186  5,686,233 4,462,493 
Dilutive effect of options outstanding 196,901 177,043  179,866 196,901 
 
 
 
 
      
Diluted 4,659,394 4,227,229  5,866,099 4,659,394 
     

Stock options for 20,082 and 1,517 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 because they were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The effect of stock options is the sole common stock equivalent for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.

NOTE 8 –7 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Total stock options granted, exercised, and expired/forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2004,2005, were 37,500, 57,736,69,500, 27,700 and 200,8,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2004, 457,0692005, there were 442,994 options for shares were outstanding.

Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain of the matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and as such may involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of TIB Financial Corp. to be materially different from future results described in such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the effects of future economic conditions; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, and interest rate risks; the effects of

competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, consumer finance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the Company’s market area and elsewhere. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of TIB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of March 31, 2004,2005, and statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2004.2005. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20042005 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004.2005.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003QUARTERLY SUMMARY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our first quarter 2005 net income of $1,272,818$1.5 million represents an increase of 22% over $1.3 million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. On a per diluted share basis, earnings were $0.26 for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to $0.27 for the first quarter of 2004 due to dilution caused by a successful public offering in April 2004 of 1.15 million new common shares which provided the capital necessary to fuel our expansion strategy in southwest Florida. Credit quality remains excellent and we continue to see growth opportunities in our newer southwest Florida markets as well as our traditional base in the Florida Keys.

The high-growth Naples-Fort Myers area continues to reaffirm the exportability of our island banking culture as our new customers are rapidly discovering what our customers in the Florida Keys have known for years. Our continued focus on providing superior customer service is filling a much needed void in our local markets, which are realizing the effects of big bank mergers and acquisitions.

The increase in net income for the first quarter of 2005 over the respective prior-year period resulted primarily from a 26% increase in net interest income from $6.8 million a year ago to $8.6 million in the current quarter. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was an $83,5494.40%, compared with 4.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $9.1 million, compared with $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2004. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to expenses associated with increased regulatory compliance and the Company’s ongoing expansion activities in the southwest Florida market, which included the addition of two new branch offices and several key senior staff personnel.

Credit quality remained solid during the first quarter of 2005 which ended with non-performing loans representing only 0.05% of gross loans. As of March 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6.5 million, or 7.0% increase0.91% of total loans and 1,673% of non-performing loans. These figures compare with 0.97% and 1,107%, respectively, as of March 31, 2004.

Total assets increased more than 32% to $939.3 million as of March 31, 2005, compared with $710.6 million a year ago. On a quarter over quarter basis, total assets increased more than 13%, which is reflective of the company’s solid organic growth since December 31, 2004. Total loans grew more than 30% to $717.2 million as of March 31, 2005, versus $549.6 million a year ago. Total deposits increased more than 29% to $799.3 million as of March 31, 2005, compared with $617.4 million a year ago.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2004

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our net income of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2005 increased 21.5%, compared to $1,189,269$1.3 million for the same period last year. Net income from continuing operations was $1,272,818 for the first quarter of 2004, compared to $1,161,884 for the first quarter of 2003, an increase of $110,934 or 9.5%. As discussed in Note 11, the Company closed the sale of the assets of its wholly owned subsidiary, Keys Insurance Agency, Inc. in the third quarter of 2003.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 20042005 were $0.29$0.27 and $0.27$0.26, respectively, as compared to $0.29 and $0.28$0.27 per share in the previous year’s quarter. Basic weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were 4,462,493 compared to 4,050,186. This 10.2% increase in shares outstanding resulted from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of 280,653 shares in June 2003 in connection with a private placement that raised $4.3 million in new capital.

Annualized return on average assets was 0.75%0.72% and 0.82%0.76% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, and 2003,respectively, while the annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 12.04%9.20% and 13.91%12.04% for the same period. The decline in the return on average shareholders’ equity in the current year is primarily attributable to the 57.8% increase in shareholders’ equity from March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005 due to the stock offering in the second quarter of 2004 and exercises of stock options.

NET INTEREST INCOME


Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment, and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest earning assets include loans, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and investment securities. Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, federal funds purchased, notes payable related to Company shares repurchased, subordinated debentures, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and other short term borrowings.

Net interest income increased $995,085, or 17.1%26.2%, to $6,828,305$8.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 20042005 as compared to $6.8 million in the same period last year. TheWhile the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal began 2003remained at 4.25% and in June 20034.00% for the first quarter of 2004 it declinedincreased from 5.25% at the beginning of 2005 to 4.00%.5.75% by the end of the first quarter 2005. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they may also include floors. The lowerhigher level of prime rate in the first three monthsquarter of 20042005 compared to the comparative period in 2003 did result2004 is apparent in a lower average yieldthe positive impact on yields in the loan portfolio however, increased volumes more than compensated for this allowing for the reported increase in interest income.

The effect of the low interest rates is to contract our net interest margin in two ways. First, a low Prime rate directly affects yields on loans tied to that index and even loans not indexed to Prime are priced reflective of overall low asset yields. Second, deposit liabilities can only be priced down so far before the interest rate is too low to attract the volume of required funding. The net effect of this rate environment is a larger reduction in asset yields, generally, than the corresponding reduction in liability costs.

We were able to mitigateas the effects of the interest rate environment forhigher rates are reflected in variable loan re-pricings and new loan production. Increased loan volume is the following reasons. First, even though we are at low relative levels of interest rates,primary driver affecting the increased net interest margins have stabilized and we were able to decrease liability costs to a similar extent that asset yields contracted. Second, we have expanded a practice of requiring an interest rate floor on many new commercial loans. This proved effectiveincome in slowing the average decline in loan yields. Finally, we continue to change our mix of assets to slightly increase the percentage of higher yielding loans.current period.

In April 2002, the Bank began a program to acquire indirect automobile loans. We predominatelypredominantly buy loans from auto dealers in southwestSouthwest Florida which are for the purchase of new or late model used cars. We serve customers over a broad range of creditworthiness and the required terms and rates are reflective of those risk profiles. As of March 31, 20042005 we had $66.8$98.6 million of indirect auto dealer loans outstanding, compared to $24.9$66.8 million at March 31, 2003.2004. Coupled with the appropriate safeguards, we believe this product continues to offer us an opportunity to increase asset yields while not sacrificing our primary objective of maintaining strong asset quality.

The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first three months of 20042005 was 6.06%6.29% which was a decreasean increase of 4123 basis points compared to the 6.47%6.06% yield earned during the first three months of 2003.2004. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 32increased 44 basis points from 2.04%1.72% during the first three months of 20032004 to 1.72%2.16% for the comparable period in 2004,2005, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities decreased 37increased 44 basis points, from 2.30% in 2003 to 1.93% in 2004.2004 to 2.37% in 2005. The Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.40% in the first three months of 2005 compared to 4.50% in the first three months of 2004 compared to 4.56% in the first three months of 2003.2004. We anticipate interest rates to continue slowly trending up over the next twelvesix months. If this occurs or if rates remain stable, net interest margin should expand only slightly due principally to strong new loan production. However, due tobe fairly consistent as our mix of assets and liabilities should grow in roughly the cash generated fromsame proportions that exist currently on our recent stock offering in April 2004, there will be some near term compression in net interest margin until these funds are invested.balance sheet. Our margin is derived from the rate difference between our average yields on our current mix of assets in excess of our average cost of liabilities. It will take a little time to invest all of the funds raised in our recent stock offering in a similar mix of assets as currently exists on our balance sheet.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES


The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio which have been incurred at each balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses increased $39,000 or 11.8%58.8%, to $369,000$0.6 million in the first quarter of 20042005 compared to $330,000$0.4 million in the comparable prior year quarter. The higher provision for loan losses in 20042005 was primarily attributable to the continued growth and change in composition of the loan portfolio.portfolio coupled with slightly higher charge offs. Total loans outstanding grew $63.7 million, or 9.7%, during the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $11.0 million, or 2.1%, during the first quarter of 2004. The largest dollar increase during the first quarter of 2005 occurred in commercial real estate loans which increased $42.0 million, or 12.0%. This compares to a $3.5 million, or 1.2% decrease in commercial real estate loans during the first quarter of 2004.

Total loans outstanding were $717.2 million at March 31, 2005, compared to $549.6 million at March 31, 2004, compared to $458.4 million at March 31, 2003.2004. Net charge-offs were $238,325$0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 20042005 compared to $233,102$0.2 million for the same period in 2003. 2004.

Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provisions in the future as necessary, in the opinion of management, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

NON-INTEREST INCOME


Non-interest income for the first quarter of 20042005 was $3,273,045.$3.4 million. This represents a $195,044 or 6.3%3.7% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $3,078,001.$3.3 million. The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to an increase of $71,437 in service charges on deposit accounts; a $38,686 increase in net investment security gains; an increase of $381,733 in merchantMerchant bankcard processing income; a $6,774 increase in retail investment services; offset by a $87,470 decrease in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans; a decrease of $203,429income and in fees on mortgage loans sold and a $12,687 decrease in other income.

sold. The increase in merchant bankcard processing income is primarily a

result of volume increases. Gain on sale of government guaranteed loans result from a relatively small number of transactions and, therefore, the revenue recognition from these transactions can vary considerably depending on the number of loans sold and the dollar amount of the transactions. There was one loan soldThe increase in the first three months of 2003, and none sold in the first three months of 2004. Feesfees on mortgage loans sold is primarily a result fromof increased pass through loan volume during the immediate sale of fixed rate residential mortgages in the secondary market. The lower fees earned in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the year ago period are attributable to reduced refinancing activity, temporarily lower new sales activity, and thinner margins.2005 quarter.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE


Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 20042005 was $7,794,232.$9.1 million. This represents a $1,011,715 or 14.9%16.2%, increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $6,782,517.$7.8 million. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $275,148, net occupancy$0.8 million. At March 31, 2005 the Bank had 308 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees, compared to 267 full-time employees and 17 part-time employees at March 31, 2004. The increased staffing was attributable to the opening of two branches in Southwest Florida in the second half of 2004, additions to manage growth throughout the Company and additions to assist in security and regulatory compliance. Likewise, the majority of the other increases in the non-interest expense increasing $95,794, and other expense increasing $640,773. The increasescategory are primarily the result of costs associated with the growth of our business.

At March 31, 2004 the Bank had 267 full-time employees and 17 part-time employees, compared to 252 full-time employee and 14 part time employees at March 31, 2003. The increase in staff was required to manage growth of the organization, and to assist in security and regulatory compliance.

In the category of other expense, interchange and other bankcard expensed increased approximately $290,000 over the prior year amount. This is primarily tied to volume, and is consistent with the increase in merchant bankcard processing income experienced. Our computer services expense increased approximately $79,000, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of loan and deposit accounts. Repossession and recovery costs associated with our indirect lending program increased $82,000 as a result of additional activity and volume in this portfolio. Director fees increased $55,000 due to a change in the fee structure and amount of fees paid compared to the prior year period.

INCOME TAXES

The change in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the growth in income before income taxes.
The provision for income taxes related to continuing operations totaled $665,300, for anincludes federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rate ofrates were 34.7% and 34.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and $636,820, for an effective tax rate of 35.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

$42.0 million, or 12.0%. Although we have continued to expand our indirect dealer auto loan program, it has begun to decrease in percentage in proportion to the loan portfolio as a whole. At March 31, 2005, indirect auto loans accounted for $98.6 million, or 13.8%, of our loan portfolio as compared to $91.9 million, or 14.1%, at December 31, 2004.

During the first quarterthree months of 2004,2005, we were able to repay $25 million ofreduced our advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.Bank by $10.0 million. Total advances outstanding were $20$25.0 million at March 31, 20042005 as compared to $45$35.0 million at December 31, 2003.2004.

Book value per share increaseddecreased to $9.64$11.96 at March 31, 20042005 from $9.31$11.99 at December 31, 2003.2004 due primarily to the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized losses on investments available-for-sale. Such unrealized losses arose primarily from increases in market interest rates. The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.115 per share in the first quarter of 2005 and $0.1125 per share in the first quarter of 2004 and $0.11 per share in the first quarter of 2003.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, repossessed personal property, and other real estate. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest and generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract.

Under provisions of the trust agreement, beneficiaries cannot receive trust assets until November 2010.

During 2001, upon completion of foreclosure on the underlying collateral, the non-guaranteed portion of this loan and interest accrued through the foreclosure date was reclassified into other real estate ($550,000) and other assets (approximately $1,886,000)During 2001, upon completion of foreclosure on the underlying collateral, the non-guaranteed portion of this loan and interest accrued through the foreclosure date was reclassified into other real estate ($550,000) and other assets (approximately $1.9 million) based on the fair value of the underlying-collateral. The portion of this loan guaranteed by the USDA was approximately $1.6 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and is accruing interest.

The Bank capitalized the liquidation costs and a portion of the protective advances which it expects will be fully reimbursed by the USDA. Other real estate recorded on the Bank’s books related to this property totaled $190,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Proceeds from the sales were used to reduce the other real estate amount and liquidation cost amounts recorded on the Bank’s books. In 2003, the Bank wrote down the carrying amount of the other real estate by $262,000 based upon anticipated proceeds from the sale of the property and remaining equipment.Florida law requires a bank to liquidate or charge off repossessed real property within five years, and repossessed personal property within six months. The Bank was awarded title to the real property on June 12, 2001, and an adjudicated interest in the owner’s trust proceeds. The time constraints imposed by Florida law required that the personal property be disposed of or charged off by December 2001. The Bank applied to the State of Florida for an extension to carry the personal property on the Bank’s books and was granted an extension to carry the personal property on its books until June 11, 2003. Since the property had not been liquidated as of such date, the Bank charged-off the non guaranteed principal and interest totaling $2.0 million at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and is accruing interest.

Florida law requires a bank to liquidate or charge off repossessed real property within five years, and repossessed personal property within six months. The Bank was awarded title to the real property on June 12, 2001, and an adjudicated interest in the owner’s trust proceeds. The time constraints imposed by Florida law required that the personal property be disposed of or charged off by December 2001. The Bank applied to the State of Florida for an extension to carry the personal property on the Bank’s books and was granted an extension to carry the personal property on its books until June 11, 2003. Since the property had not been liquidated as of June 11th, the Bank charged-off the non guaranteed principal and interest totaling $1,961,000 at June 30, 2003, for regulatory purposes. Since we believe this amount is ultimately realizable, we did not write off this amount for financial statement purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $5,346,576$6.5 million and $5,215,901$6.2 million at March 31, 20042005 and December 31, 2003,2004, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Our process for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any, for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income, includes both individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses. Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on loan relationships of a significant size, or when otherwise deemed necessary, and primarily encompass commercial real estate and other commercial loans. The result is that commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are divided into the following risk categories: Pass, Special Mention, and Substandard or worse. When appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans. Otherwise, we allocate an allowance for each risk category. The allocations are based on factors including historical loss rate, perceived economic conditions (local, national and global), perceived strength of our management, recent trends in loan loss history, and concentrations of credit.

Home equity loans, indirect auto dealer loans, residential loans and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually. These loans are grouped into pools and assigned risk categories based on their current payment status and management’s assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans. As above, when appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans. Otherwise, we allocate an allowance for each loan classification. The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above.

Based on an analysis performed by management at March 31, 2004,2005, the allowance for loan losses is considered to be adequate to cover estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, management’s judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, there can

16


be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that significant additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

During 2004, as the indirect auto dealer loan portfolio began to mature, the loss history approached expected levels and the management processes, controls and monitoring and risk management tools implemented throughout recent years indicated that higher multipliers were necessary for the indirect loan portfolio. Contemporaneously, as the Florida economy has grown at an accelerated pace compared to other markets, real estate prices have escalated and local economies have benefited resulting in diminishing historical and expected loss factors. Analysis of these events resulted in these same tools indicating that lower multipliers were necessary for commercial loans collateralized by real estate. Looking forward, although the concentration of indirect auto dealer loan category has increased rapidly since the inception of this program, management believes that this growth has peaked slightly below 15% of the total loan portfolio composition. This category should continue to decrease as a percentage of the loan portfolio as we expect overall asset and loan growth to continue. As this occurs, if we make the assumption, however unlikely, that all other factors were to remain constant, we would expect that the allowance for loan losses would continue to decrease as a percentage of gross loans in the near term.

LIQUIDITY

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit withdrawal needs of the Company’s customers. We manage the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available at all times.

In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, we maintain adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities and unused borrowing capacity. The Bank has invested in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The credit availability to the Bank is equal to 20 percent of the Bank’s total assets as reported on the most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the regulators. The credit availability approximated $142 million atregulators subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral. At March 31, 2004, under which $202005, there were $25.0 million was outstanding. Borrowings against this linein advances outstanding in addition to a $15 million letter of credit are collateralized byused in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida. In July 2004, new agreements were executed with the FHLB and a blanket floating lien pledge of the Bank’s one-to-fourresidential 1-4 family residential mortgage loans.and commercial real estate secured loans was done to bring the collateral availability up to approximately $159.7 million.

The Bank has an unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $7.5$12.0 million from its principal correspondent bank.

In the second quarter of 2004, we completed the sale of 1,150,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $22.00 per share before commissions and expenses. The net proceeds provided additional liquidity along with additional capital to the Company. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to provide capital to support continued loan and deposit growth throughout our South Florida markets.

We are cumulatively liability sensitive through the one year time period, and asset sensitive in the over one year timeframes above. Certain liabilities such as non-indexed NOW and passbook savings accounts, while technically subject to immediate repricing in response to changing market rates, historically do not reprice as quickly nor to the extent as other interest sensitive accounts. Accordingly, if market interest rates should decrease, it is anticipated that the net interest margin would decrease. Because of non-interest bearing liabilities, total interest-earning assets are substantially greater than the total interest-bearing liabilities and therefore it is anticipated that over time the effects on net interest income from changes in asset yield will be greater than the change in expense from liability cost. Therefore, if rates increase, it is anticipated that the net interest margin would, over time, increase, and this is particularly true over longer time horizons since the Company has more total assets subject to rate changes than total liabilities that are rate sensitive. However, over the next several months, the liquidity generated from our recent stock offering will cause some compression in net interest margin until these funds are fully invested, irrespective of changes in market interest rates.

Even in the near term, we believe the $60$117 million one year cumulative negative sensitivity gap may exaggerate the probable effects on earnings in a risingchanging rate environment for two reasons. First, the liabilities subject to repricing are predominately not indexed to any specific market rate and therefore, offer the Company the opportunity to delay or diminish any rate repricings. Further, in this current rate environment, the Bank has been originating loans with interest rate floors. The effect of this has been to decrease the volatility of net interest margin and decrease asset sensitivity due to the fact that these loans behave similar to fixed rate loans in periods over a significant range of interest rate changes.

Interest-earning assets and other time deposits are presented based on their contractual terms. It is anticipated that run off in any deposit category will be approximately offset by new deposit generation. Since we have experienced steady growth in deposits, no net run off in any deposit category is assumed in the interest rate sensitivity table. It is our policy to maintain our cumulative one year gap ratio in the –20%-20% to +10% range. At March 31, 2004,2005 we were within this range with a one year cumulative sensitivity ratio of (9.3)%-13.5%.

COMMITMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of

18


credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and generally uses the same credit policies for letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. At March 31, 2004,2005, total unfunded loan commitments were approximately $79.3$133.2 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to assure the performance or financial obligations of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or obtains personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Since most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2004,2005, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $1.7$2.4 million.

The Company believes the likelihood of the unfunded loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit either needing to be totally funded or funded at the same time is low. However, should significant funding requirements occur, we have sufficient available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed in the “Liquidity” section above.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. The Company has assessed its market risk as predominately interest rate risk.

The following interest rate sensitivity analysis information as of March 31, 20042005 was developed using simulation analysis of the Company’s sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates. Specifically, the model derives expected interest income and interest expense resulting from an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve in the amounts shown.

These rate changes are matched with known repricing intervals and assumptions for new growth net of expected prepayments. The assumptions are based primarily on experience in the Company’s market under varying rate environments. The imbedded options that the Company’s loan customers possess to refinance are considered for purposes of this analysis along with scheduled and cause the larger decreases in income in a declining rate scenario versus the income increases in the same size rising rate scenario.unscheduled principal reductions offset by anticipated loan originations.

This analysis intentionally exaggerates interest sensitivity. For the sake of simplicity and comparability, an immediate change in rates is assumed. However, any significant change in actual market rates would probably be phased in over an extended period of time. This phase in would reduce the net interest income effects for any absolute change in rates. Also, the Company has been originating adjustable rate commercial loans with interest rate floors that are currently at rates higher than the index and margin on the loans would indicate. An example would be a loan at Prime plus 1% but with a 7.0% floor. The Company currently has in excess of $199$188 million of these types of loans where the loan rates are at the floors. The effects of this are twofold. First, this has benefited our margins currently since we have assets earning yields higher than would be the case absent the floor rates. Second, in a declining rate environment and in a limited rising rate environment those “adjustable” rate loans act like fixed rate loans. This limits the Company’s loss of interest income when rates decline but does constrain income gains in a rising rate market. As rates increase beyond 200 basis points from their current level the effect on net interest income turns around and begins to expand positively due to an increasing percentage of loans going past their floors. Also, the passage of time moderates the negative near term impact of rising rates as new loans are by definition originated at the current, now higher, rate levels. In general, having this significant amount of loans at their floors reduces the Company’s overall rate sensitivity.

The Company attempts to retain interest rate neutrality by generating mostly adjustable rate loans and managing the securities, wholesale funding, and Fed Funds positions to offset the repricing characteristics of the deposit liabilities.

Item 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Companyreport. Based upon that evaluation, they have concluded that the Company’sCorporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate. No significant deficiencies orare effective in ensuring that material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data have been identified.

No fraud that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls has been discovered.

Changes in internal controls

The Company made no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequentinformation related to the date of the evaluation of those controlsCorporation is made known to them by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer; including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all improper conduct. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of improper conduct, if any,others within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.Corporation.
