TIB FINANCIAL CORP.
UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31,
September 30, 2005
(In thousands except for share and per share amounts)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES


TIB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company headquartered in Naples, Florida. TIB Financial Corp. owns and operates TIB Bank, which has a total of sixteen branches in Florida that are located in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Collier and Lee counties.


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for TIB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-X. 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 statement presentation. For further information and an additional description of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2004.


The consolidated statements include the accounts of TIB Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TIB Bank, and the Bank’s subsidiary, TIB Investment Center Inc. (this corporation was dissolved in January 2005 - see Note 2), collectively known as the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts previously reported on have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


As used in this document, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TIB Financial,” and “Company” mean TIB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning), and the term “Bank” means TIB Bank and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning).


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.

Allowance for Loan Losses
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.


Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and the dilutive effect of restricted shares computed using the treasury stock method.
Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses and earnings per common share is included in the 2004 Annual Report and 10-K.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES


On December 15, 2004, the Company closed the sale of certain intangible assets which primarily comprised a book of business which served as the foundation of the Company’s investment center operations. The buyer paid $50 in cash at the closing. The Company recognized a gain of $50 on the transaction. Under the purchase agreement, additional cash payments totaling up to $60 may be paid to the Company subject to the achievement of certain production and customer and asset retention thresholds. Additionally, the Company will receive monthly cash payments of 10% of production related to new referrals made through December 31, 2005. On January 7, 2005, the Company filed Articles of Dissolution dissolving TIB Investment Center, Inc.

Consistent with prior period disclosures regarding segments, the Company does not consider the divestiture of the investment center operations a significant event.

Dilutive effect of options outstanding  186,715  168,830 
Diluted  5,890,622  5,356,286 

Stock options for 20,08232,500 and 28,786 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2004, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, 35,000 unvested restricted shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of stock options isand the soledilutive effect of unvested restricted shares are the only common stock equivalentequivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.


NOTE 7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


On July 25, 2005, the Company approved the issuance of shares of its common stock as restricted stock grants to each of the seven non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Each of these directors received an award of 5,000 restricted shares under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) previously approved by Company shareholders in 2004. The grants to the directors were effective on July 28, 2005 and will vest 1,000 shares each year over the next five years, subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan) or the death of the director. The grant date market value of the 35,000 restricted shares, $1,090, will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recognized $39 as expense related to these restricted shares.

Total stock options granted, exercised, and expired/forfeited during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005, were 69,500, 27,70047,507, and 8,000,26,000, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2005, there were 442,994405,187 options for shares outstanding.


Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost resulting from stock options 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.”

In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Under this promulgation, companies are required to reflect costs associated with employee stock options in their income statements at fair value. In April 2005, the SEC amended the date for compliance with FAS 123 (revised 2004) so that each registrant that is not a small business issuer is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with statement 123 (revised 2004) beginning with the first interim or annual reporting period of the registrant’s first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will begin reflecting stock option costs under the fair value method commencing in the quarter beginning January 1, 2006 as required.

NOTE 9 - SEGMENT REPORTING


TIB Financial Corp. has two reportable segments: community banking and merchant bankcard processing. The community banking segment’s business is to attract deposits from the public and to use such deposits to make real estate, business and consumer loans in its primary service area. The merchant bankcard processing segment processes credit card transactions for local merchants. Parent and other includes the operations of the holding company and retail investment service operations of the Bank.


The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different marketing strategies.

Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in preparing the segment reporting amounts below.

The results of the Company’s segments are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(the “Company”) as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of March 31,September 30, 2005, and statement of income for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.


QUARTERLY SUMMARY

Our first


For the third consecutive quarter, 2005 netresults demonstrate the continuing successful implementation of our strategic plan. Net income of $1.5$2.05 million represents an increase of 22%54% over $1.3$1.34 million reported for the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2004. On a per diluted share basis, earnings were $0.26$0.35 for the firstthird quarter of 2005 as compared to $0.27$0.23 for the firstthird 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.2004. Credit quality remains excellentsolid 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 areamarkets. We believe merger-related market disruption continues to reaffirm the exportability of our island banking culture asprovide opportunities in gathering commercial, household and municipal relationships. We also believe TIB continues to gain name recognition and momentum in 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.

markets.


The increase in net income for the firstthird quarter of 2005 over the respective prior-year period resulted primarily from a 26%30% increase in net interest income from $6.8$7.78 million a year ago to $8.6$10.09 million in the current quarter. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 was 4.40%, compared with 4.50%4.37% which was a slight contraction from the 4.51% reported for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2004.


Non-interest expense for the firstthird quarter of 2005 was $9.1$9.28 million, compared with $7.8$7.92 million for the firstthird quarter of 2004. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to expenses associated with increased regulatory compliance and the Company’s ongoing growth and expansion activities in the southwest Florida market, which includedmarket. Considering the additionpercentage growth in net income and net interest income, net occupancy and other expenses for the third quarter of two new branch offices and several key senior staff personnel.

2005 increased less than 11% over the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on cost containment.


Credit quality remained solid during the firstthird quarter of 2005 which ended with non-performing loans representing only 0.05%0.06% of gross loans. As of March 31,September 30, 2005, the allowance for loan losses totaled $6.5$7.15 million, or 0.91%0.87% of total loans and 1,673%1,345% of non-performing loans. These figures compare with 0.97%0.98% and 1,107%519%, respectively, as of March 31,September 30, 2004.


Total assets increased more than 32% to $939.3reached $1.05 billion compared with $829.3 million as of MarchDecember 31, 2004 and $765.7 million as of September 30, 2004. Total loans increased 34% to $826.3 million as of September 30, 2005, versus $618.3 million the prior year. Total deposits increased 43% to $913.3 million as of September 30, 2005, compared with $710.6$638.3 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,SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net income of $1.5$2.05 million for the firstthird quarter of 2005 increased 21.5%,54% compared to $1.3$1.34 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the firstthird quarter of 2005 were $0.27$0.36 and $0.26,$0.35, respectively, as compared to $0.29$0.24 and $0.27$0.23 per share in the previous year’s quarter.


Annualized return on average assets was 0.72%0.82% and 0.76%0.70% for the firstthird quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, while the annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 9.20%11.45% and 12.04%8.06% 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.

periods.


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 26.2%30%, to $8.6$10.09 million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 as compared to $6.8$7.78 million in the same period last year. While theThe prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal remained at 4.00% forstarted the firstthird quarter of 2004 itat 4.25% and increased from 5.25% at the beginning of 2005 to 5.75%4.75% by the end of the firstquarter. At the beginning of the third quarter 2005.2005 it had risen to 6.25% and increased twice to end the quarter at 6.75%. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they may also include floors. The higher level of prime rate in the firstthird quarter of 2005 compared to the comparative period inthird quarter of 2004 is apparent in thehad a positive impact on yields in the loan portfolio as the effects of the higher rates are reflected in variable loan re-pricings and new loan production. Increased loan volume is the primary driver affecting the increased net interest income in the current period.


In April 2002, the Bank began a program to acquire indirect automobile loans. We predominantly 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,September 30, 2005 we had $98.6$113.6 million of indirect auto dealer loans outstanding, compared to $66.8$83.7 million at March 31,September 30, 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 monthsthird quarter of 2005 was 6.29%6.69% which was an increase of 2361 basis points compared to the 6.06%6.08% yield earned during the first three monthsthird quarter of 2004. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 4492 basis points from 1.72%1.81% during the first three monthsthird quarter of 2004 to 2.16%2.73% for the comparable period in 2005, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities increased 4489 basis points, from 1.93%2.03% in 2004 to 2.37%2.92% in 2005. The Company’s net interest margin decreased slightly to 4.40%4.37% in the first three monthsthird quarter of 2005 compared to 4.50%4.51% in the first three monthsthird quarter of 2004. We anticipate interest rates to continue slowly trending up over the next sixthree months. If this occurs or if rates remain stable, net interest margin should be fairly consistent asdecrease slightly due principally to a CD promotion we held late in the third quarter to lock in our mixcost of assets and liabilities should grow in roughlyfunds coupled with the same proportions that exist currentlyeffects of competitive pressure on our balance sheet.new loan production at higher interest rates. 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.

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 58.8%decreased 5%, to $0.6 million$448,000 in the firstthird quarter of 2005 compared to $0.4 million$471,000 in the comparable prior year quarter. The higherlower provision for loan losses in 2005 was primarily attributable to the continued growth and change in composition of the loan portfolio coupled with slightly higher charge offs.improvement in commercial real estate loan historical loss ratios and stabilization of indirect loans as a proportion of the total loan portfolio. As runoff continues to close in on new loan production, the growth rate of the indirect loan portfolio slowed to 5% during the third quarter of 2005 as compared with 9% during the third quarter of 2004. Total loans outstanding grew $63.7$52.4 million, or 9.7%7%, to $826.3 million, during the firstthird quarter of 2005, as compared to $11.0growth of only $27.9 million, or 2.1%5%, during the firstthird 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. Net charge-offs were $0.3 million$308,000 during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2005 compared to $0.2 million$188,000 for the same period in 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 firstthird quarter of 2005 was $3.4$2.82 million. This represents a 3.7%7% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $3.3$2.64 million. The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to an increase in Merchant bankcard processing income and inincreased fees on mortgage loans sold. The increase in merchant bankcard processing income is primarily a

result of volume increases. The increase in fees onresidential mortgage loans sold is primarily a result of increased pass through loan volume during the 2005 quarter.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the firstthird quarter of 2005 was $9.1$9.28 million. This represents a 16.2%,17% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $7.8$7.92 million. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $0.8 million.$909,000. At March 31,September 30, 2005 the Bank had 308323 full-time employees and 1510 part-time employees, compared to 267303 full-time employees at September 30, 2004. The increases are primarily the result of costs associated with the growth of our business and continued expansion into the southwest Florida market. Considering the percentage growth in net income and net interest income, net occupancy and other expenses for the third quarter of 2005 increased less than 11% over the third quarter of 2004, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on cost containment.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rates were 35.4% and 34.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net income of $5.79 million for the first nine months of 2005 represents a 50% increase compared to $3.87 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2005 were $1.01 and $0.98, respectively, as compared to $0.75 and $0.72 per share in the previous year’s period. Basic weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were 5,703,907 compared to 5,187,456 for the same period in 2004. This 10% increase in shares outstanding resulted from the issuance of an additional 1,150,000 shares in the second quarter of 2004 in connection with a public offering of our common stock that raised $23.2 million in new capital, and the exercise of stock options.

Annualized return on average assets was 0.82% and 0.71% for the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, while the annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 11.11% and 9.15% for the same periods.


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income increased 30%, to $26.58 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to $20.48 million in the same period last year. The prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal began 2004 at 4.00% and increased three times to end the third quarter at 4.75%. At the beginning of 2005 the rate had risen to 5.25% and increased six times to end the third quarter of 2005 at 6.75%. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they also include floors. The higher level of prime rate in the first three quarters of 2005 compared to the comparable 2004 period had a positive impact on yields in the loan portfolio as the higher rates are reflected in variable loan re-pricings and new loan production.

The effect of rising interest rates to date has been to contract our net interest margin slightly in two ways. First, a relatively low prime rate directly affected yields on loans tied to that index and even loans not indexed to prime were priced reflective of overall low asset yields. Due to our practice of requiring an interest rate floor on many new commercial loans, many of these loans had been performing at their floors while interest rates were reaching historically low levels. This proved effective in slowing the average decline in loan yields as rates declined, however, it has had the opposite effect as rates increased, as these assets remained at their interest rate floors until just recently. Secondly, as deposit liabilities were priced as low as economically possible while attracting the volume of required funding, the net effect of this rising rate environment has been a larger increase in liability costs, generally, than the corresponding increase in asset yields during the current period. Due to the current level of prime rates and the impact of competitive pressure on new loan production, we expect this slight margin contraction to continue in the near term.

15

The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2005 was 6.49%, an increase of 45 basis points compared to the 6.04% yield earned during the first nine months of 2004. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 72 basis points from 1.74% during the first nine months of 2004 to 2.46% for the comparable period in 2005, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities increased 70 basis points, from 1.96% in 2004 to 2.66% in 2005. The Company’s net interest margin decreased to 4.39% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 4.50% in the first nine months of 2004. We anticipate interest rates slowly trending up over the next three months. If this occurs or if rates remain stable, net interest margin should decrease slightly due principally to a CD promotion we held late in the third quarter to lock in our cost of funds coupled with the effects of competitive pressure on new loan production at higher interest rates. 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.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased 18% to $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $1.5 million in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan losses in 2005 was primarily attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio and change in composition of the loan portfolio. Total loans outstanding grew $172.8 million, or 26%, during the first nine months of 2005, as compared to only $79.7 million, or 15%, during the first nine months of 2004. The largest dollar increase during the first nine months of 2005 occurred in commercial real estate loans which increased $77.0 million, or 22%. This compares to a $41.0 million, or 14%, increase in commercial real estate loans during the first nine months of 2004. The disproportionate increase in the growth rate of the loan portfolio as compared to the provision for loan losses results from improvement in commercial real estate loan historical loss ratios and stabilization of indirect loans as a proportion of the total loan portfolio. As runoff continues to close in on new loan production, the growth rate of the indirect loan portfolio slowed to 24% during the first nine months of 2005 as compared with 41% during the corresponding 2004 period.

Total loans outstanding were $826.3 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $618.3 million at September 30, 2004. Net charge-offs were $854,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $616,000 for the same period in 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 nine months of 2005 was $9.8 million. This represents a 6% increase over the prior year period which totaled $9.2 million. The increase in non-interest income is primarily attributable to an increase in merchant bankcard processing income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2005 was $27.4 million. This represents a 15% increase over the prior year period which totaled $23.9 million. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $2.5 million. At September 30, 2005 the Bank had 323 full-time employees and 1710 part-time employees, compared to 303 full-time employees at March 31,September 30, 2004. The increased staffing was attributable to the opening of two branchesone branch in Southwestsouthwest Florida induring the second halffourth quarter of 2004, additions to manage growth throughout the Company and additions to assist in security and regulatory compliance. Likewise, theThe majority of the other increases in the non-interest expense category are the result of costs associated with the growth of our business.


INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rates were 34.7% and 34.3%rate was 35.4%, for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

34.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.


BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at March 31,September 30, 2005 were $939.3 million,$1.05 billion, up 13.3%27% from total assets of $829.3 million at December 31, 2004. Asset growth was primarily funded by an increase in deposits of $111.4$225.5 million, or 16.2%33%. Loans net of deferred loan costs and fees increased $63.6$172.4 million, or 9.7%26%, to $719.3$828.1 million for the first threenine months of 2005 from year end 2004. The largest dollar increase came in the commercial real estate loan category which increased $42.0$77.0 million, or 12.0%22%. Although we have continued to expand our indirect dealer auto loan program, it has begun to decreasestabilize in percentage in proportion to the loan portfolio as a whole. At March 31,September 30, 2005, indirect auto loans accounted for $98.6$113.6 million, or 13.8%14%, of our loan portfolio as compared to $91.9 million, or 14.1%14%, at December 31, 2004.

Also, in the same period, investment securities increased $16.7 million.


During the first threenine months of 2005, we reduced our advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank by $10.0 million. Total advances outstanding were $25.0 million at March 31,September 30, 2005 as compared to $35.0 million at December 31, 2004.


Shareholders’ equity totaled $68.3$72.0 million at March 31,September 30, 2005, increasing from $68.1$3.9 million atfrom December 31, 2004. Book value per share decreasedincreased to $11.96$12.50 at March 31,September 30, 2005 from $11.99 at December 31, 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.2004. The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.115 per share in the first, quartersecond and third quarters of 2005 and $0.1125 per share in each of the first quarterthree quarters of 2004.


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.

 (a)  ExcludesNon-performing loans exclude the $1.6 million loan discussed below that is guaranteed for both principal and interest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

 (b)The Bank made a $10.0 million loan to construct a lumber mill in northern Florida. Of this amount, $6.4 million had been sold by the Bank to other lenders. The loan was partially guaranteed as to principal and interest by the USDA. In addition to business real estate and equipment, the loan was collateralized by the business owner’s interest in a trust. 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 $1.9 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. Accrued interest on this loan totals approximately $703,000 and $677,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
The Bank is pursuing a sale of the property and equipment and has incurred various expenditures. 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. The non-guaranteed principal and interest ($2.0 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004) and the reimbursable capitalized liquidation costs and protective advance costs totaling approximately $784,000 and $704,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, are included as “other assets” in the financial statements.
The Bank sold certain pieces of equipment associated with the lumber mill property. 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 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 $6.5$7.2 million and $6.2 million at March 31,September 30, 2005 and December 31, 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,September 30, 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 subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral. At March 31,September 30, 2005, there were $25.0 million in advances outstanding in addition to a $15 million letter of credit used 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 residential 1-4 family mortgage and commercial real estate secured loans was done to bring the collateral availability up to approximately $159.7$170.0 million.


The Bank has an unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $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.


ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT


Closely related to liquidity management is the management of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in net interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates.

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,In the next three months, we anticipate interest rates increasing slowly and our net interest margin should decrease slightly due primarily to a CD promotion locking in our cost of funds late in the third quarter coupled with the effects of competitive pressure on new loan production at higher interest rates. Thereafter, if rates continue to 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.


Even in the near term, we believe the $117$171 million one year cumulative negative sensitivity gap may exaggerate the probable effects on earnings in a changingrising 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% to +10% range. At March 31,September 30, 2005, we were within this range with a one year cumulative sensitivity ratio of -13.5%-17.4%.

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,September 30, 2005, total unfunded loan commitments were approximately $133.2$179.3 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,September 30, 2005, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $2.4$2.6 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


Interest rate sensitivity analysis information as of March 31,September 30, 2005 was developedanalyzed using a 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 immediategradual and parallel shift in the yield curve in the amounts shown.

These ratecurve. Rate changes are matched with known repricing intervals andre-pricing intervals. The bank uses standardized assumptions for new growth netrun against bank data by an outsourced provider of expected prepayments.Asset Liability reporting. The assumptions are based primarily on experience in the Company’s market under varying rate environments. The imbedded optionsanalysis indicates that the Company’s loan customers possessbank is benefited in an increasing rate environment more than it is harmed by a decreasing rate environment. This is primarily due to refinance are considered for purposes of this analysis along with scheduled and 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,fact that 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 $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 in the recent past and currently since we have had assets earning yields higher than would behave been 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 not constrain income gains in a rising rate market. In general, having this significant amount ofmarket once these loans athave moved past 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 repricingre-pricing characteristics of the deposit liabilities.
