TIB FINANCIAL CORP.
Unaudited Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
(Dollars 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 banking offices 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 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
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), collectively known as the Company. All significant inter-company 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
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, which is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectiblity of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required based on factors including past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Individual commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is considered to be impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer, indirect, and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
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 unvested 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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 amends Statement 140 with respect to separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. Statement 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract and requires all servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 also permits entities to subsequently measure servicing assets and liabilities using an amortization method or fair value measurement method. Under the amortization method, servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of servicing. Under the fair value measurement method, servicing assets are measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value are reported in net income for the period the change occurs. Adoption of SFAS 156 is required as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning subsequent to September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Note 2 -Acquisitions, Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
On December 30, 2005, the Company closed the sale of its merchant bankcard processing business segment to NOVA Information Systems, Inc. (“NOVA”). NOVA paid $7,250 in cash at the closing resulting in the Company recognizing a gain of $6,697 on the transaction. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Company’s merchant bankcard processing business segment are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income as “discontinued operations”. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a Marketing and Sales Alliance Agreement and a Non-Competition Agreement. The Marketing and Sales Alliance Agreement provides for the exclusive referral by the Bank to NOVA of Bank customers seeking merchant card processing services, and on-going, active promotion of NOVA’s services to Bank customers. The Marketing and Sales Alliance Agreement has an initial term of ten years, and may be extended by the parties. The Non-Competition Agreement prohibits the Company from competing with NOVA to provide merchant card processing services, and prohibits the Bank from soliciting for such services (other than to be provided by NOVA) any merchants that had a merchant services relationship with the Bank at the time of the sale, and any merchants subsequently referred to NOVA. The Non-Competition Agreement is effective for so long as the Marketing and Sales Alliance Agreement is in effect. The non-solicitation covenant extends for two years following termination of the Marketing and Sales Alliance Agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded additional gains totaling $272 relating primarily to the settlement of certain contractual early termination provisions on a basis that was more favorable than originally estimated.
The operating results of the merchant bankcard processing segment, which have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, are summarized as follows:

| | | | | | | |
Stock options for 53,213 and 38,350 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 because they were anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. There were no anti-dilutive unvested restricted shares of common stock for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 or 2006. The dilutive effect of stock options and the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares are the only common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.
Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation
During 2004, the FASB revised Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” ("SFAS 123R") which established accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees and carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. The provisions of this statement became effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 for all equity awards granted or modified after the effective date and for the subsequent vesting of previously granted awards. SFAS 123R requires an entity to recognize compensation expense based on an estimate of the fair value and number of awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of awards expected to be forfeited. On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R and began recognizing compensation expense for stock options. The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method, therefore prior period results were not restated. Previously, the Company had accounted for stock options granted to employees according to the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, whereby compensation expense was recorded based upon the intrinsic value method. As a result, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense was generally limited to the expense attributed to restricted stock awards.

(Dollars in thousands except for share and per share amounts)
As of June 30, 2006, the Company has one compensation plan under which shares of its common stock are issuable in the form of stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance units. This is its 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the May 25, 2004 annual meeting. Previously, the Company had granted stock options under the 1994 Incentive Stock Option and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”) as amended and restated as of August 31, 1996. Under the 2004 Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company may grant nonqualified stock-based awards to any director, and incentive or nonqualified stock-based compensation to any officer, key executive, administrative, or other employee including an employee who is a director of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the 2004 Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be optioned or awarded through the 2014 expiration of the plan is 400,000 shares, no more than 133,000 of which may be issued pursuant to awards granted in the form of restricted shares. Such shares may be treasury, or authorized but unissued, shares of common stock of the Company. If options or awards granted under the Plan expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or released from restriction, the corresponding shares shall again be available for option or award for the purposes of the Plan.
No stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value method of accounting for stock compensation.

Total stock-based compensation expense | | $ | 154 | | $ | 270 | |
| | | | | | | |
The tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense arising from restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options was approximately $18 and $46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
The fair value of each option is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The assumptions for the current period grants were developed based on SFAS 123R and SEC guidance contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, “Share-Based Payment.” The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to compute the grant-date fair value of options granted:
| | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
Dividend yield | | | 1.55 | % | | 1.98 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.90 | % | | 4.12 | % |
Expected option life | | | 6.5 years | | | 9 years | |
Volatility | | | 31.0 | % | | 23.5 | % |
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted | | $ | 10.42 | | $ | 7.30 | |
| | | | | | | |

· | The dividend yield was estimated using historical dividends paid and market value information for the Company’s stock. An increase in dividend yield will decrease stock compensation expense. |
· | The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense. |
· | The expected option life for the current period grants was estimated using the average vesting period and the term of the option based on guidance contained in SAB 107. Prior to 2006, this assumption was based on the typical vesting schedule and estimates of future exercise behavior patterns. An increase in the option life will increase stock compensation expense. |
· | The volatility was estimated using historical volatility for periods approximating the expected option life. |
SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. As a result, an estimate of the expected forfeiture rate based on historical forfeiture rates is considered when estimating the amount of current period stock based-compensation expense. Our estimate of forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances. Any changes in our estimates will be accounted for prospectively in the period of change. Prior to January 1, 2006, actual forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred for purposes of required pro forma stock compensation disclosures.
As of June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options and restricted stock was $1,329 and $1,044 which is expected to be recognized over weighted average periods of approximately 3 and 4 years, respectively.
Stock Options
The exercise price for common stock must equal at least 100 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the day an option is granted. The exercise price under an incentive stock option granted to a person owning stock representing more than 10 percent of the common stock must equal at least 110 percent of the fair market value at the date of grant, and such option is not exercisable after five years from the date the incentive stock option was granted. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, provide that an option not be exercised in whole or in part for any period or periods of time as specified in the option agreements. No option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date it is granted. Stock options vest over varying service periods which range from vesting immediately to up to nine years.
A summary of the stock option activity in the plans is as follows:

The weighted average remaining term for outstanding stock options was 5.8 years at June 30, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value at June 30, 2006 was $5,199 for stock options outstanding and $1,850 for stock options exercisable. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the reporting date.

Proceeds received from the exercise of stock options were $604 and $341 during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The intrinsic value related to the exercise of stock options was $958 and $555, during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The intrinsic value related to exercises of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options resulted in the realization of tax benefits of $36 and $93, during the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock provides the grantee with voting, dividend and anti-dilution rights equivalent to common shareholders, but is restricted from transfer until vested, at which time all restrictions are removed. Vesting for restricted shares is generally on a straight-line basis and ranges from two to five years. The value of the restricted stock, estimated to be equal to the closing market price on the date of grant, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective service periods. No restricted stock was outstanding during the first six months of 2005.
A summary of the restricted stock activity in the plan is as follows:

Note 8 - Other Borrowings
On June 23, 2006, the Company issued $20,000 of additional trust preferred securities through a private placement. The Company formed TIBFL Statutory Trust III (the “Trust III”), a wholly-owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust III used the proceeds from the issuance of $20,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The trust preferred securities essentially mirror the debt securities, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the debt securities (three month LIBOR plus 155 basis points). The debt securities and the trust preferred securities each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred securities and the debt securities are callable by the Company or the Trust, at their respective option at par after five years, and sooner, at a 5% premium, if specific events occur, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. The Company has treated the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed and the remainder as Tier 2 capital for federal regulatory purposes.

Note 9 - Capital Adequacy
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements result in certain discretionary actions by regulators that could have an effect on the Company’s operations. The regulations require the Company and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
To be considered well capitalized and adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based ratios. These minimum ratios along with the actual ratios for the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, are presented in the following tables.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Well Capitalized Requirement | | | Adequately Capitalized Requirement | | | June 30, 2006 Actual | | | December 31, 2005 Actual | |

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 the Company as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of June 30, 2006, and statement of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. As discussed further in Note 2, the operating results of the Company’s merchant bankcard processing segment have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Quarterly Summary
For the second quarter of 2006, net income was $2.50 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.42 compared to $2.18 million and $0.37 in the prior year reflecting increases of 14%. Our second quarter 2006 net income from continuing operations of $2.33 million represents an increase of 17% over $2.00 million reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. On a per diluted share basis, earnings from continuing operations were $0.39 for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $0.34 for the second quarter of 2005.
We continue to see growth opportunities in our market areas arising out of our unique primary strategic focus as a middle-market commercial lender and our growth rates may moderate in step with the local economy. Our principal focus continues to be the generation of quality assets, above-average profitability and sustainable growth, while at the same time investing to support future core market opportunities and improvements in service delivery and operating efficiency.
The increase in net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 over the respective prior-year period resulted primarily from a 24% increase in net interest income from $9.64 million a year ago to $11.9 million in the current quarter. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2006 contracted to 4.30%, compared with 4.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decline in net interest margin reflects challenging competitive and interest rate environments consistent with industry-wide trends.
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2006 was $8.8 million, an increase of 15% compared to $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. The increase reflects the continued investment in the people, systems and facilities which contribute to the momentum of the Company’s asset and revenue growth.
Total assets increased to $1.23 billion as of June 30, 2006, representing 22% growth from $1.01 billion a year ago and 14% asset growth since December 31, 2005. Total loans grew 30% to $1.00 billion as of June 30, 2006, versus $773.8 million a year ago. Total deposits increased 17% to $1.02 billion as of June 30, 2006, compared with $870.2 million a year ago. Additionally, total loans and deposits increased $120.3 million and $98.9 million, or 14% and 11%, respectively from December 31, 2005.
Credit quality remained solid during the second quarter of 2006 which ended with non-performing loans representing only 0.09% of gross loans. As of June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $8.4 million, or 0.84% of total loans and 884% of non-performing loans. These figures compare with 0.91% and 1,455% as of June 30, 2005 and 0.86% and 789% as of December 31, 2005, respectively.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:
Results of Operations
For the second quarter of 2006, net income was $2.50 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.42 compared to $2.18 million and $0.37 in the prior year reflecting increases of 14%. Our net income from continuing operations of $2.33 million for the second quarter of 2006 increased 17%, compared to $2.00 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 were $0.40 and $0.39, respectively, as compared to $0.35 and $0.34 per share in the previous year’s quarter.
Annualized return on average assets from continuing operations was 0.78% and 0.83% for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively, while the annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 11.69% and 11.54% for the same 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 24%, to $11.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $9.64 million in the same period last year primarily due to an increase in average loans, investments and deposits. During a period of continuously increasing short-term interest rates, the federal funds interest rate increased from 2.75% at the beginning of the second quarter of 2005 to 5.25% by the end of the second quarter of 2006, we are able to maintain a relatively stable net interest margin. Our net interest margin contracted to 4.30% for the second quarter of this year in comparison to 4.40% in the second quarter of 2005. It is one of the objectives of our asset-liability management to minimize the impact on net interest margin of a changing interest rate environment.
Changes in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve also affect the prime rate. The prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal was 5.75% at the beginning of the second quarter of 2005 and increased twice to reach 6.25% by the end of the second quarter of 2005 and increased two times by 0.25% to 8.25% during the second quarter of 2006. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they may also include floors. The higher level of the prime rate in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the comparative period in 2005 is reflected in the higher average yield of the loan portfolio due to higher rates earned on variable rate loans and new loan production.
The average yield on interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2006 was 7.48% which was an increase of 100 basis points compared to the 6.48% yield earned during the second quarter of 2005. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 127 basis points from 2.44% during the second quarter of 2005 to 3.71% for the comparable period in 2006, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities increased 124 basis points, from 2.63% in 2005 to 3.87% in 2006. In the next three months, we anticipate that short-term interest rates may stabilize and we expect that our net interest margin may decline further due to the effects of the interest rate environment, competitive pressure on new loan production and a change in our deposit mix reflecting increased depositor rate sensitivity driven largely by the higher interest rate environment.
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 35%, to $982,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $730,000 in the comparable prior year quarter. The higher provision for loan losses in 2006 was attributable to three major factors. First and most significantly, a higher level of net charge offs, arising almost exclusively from the indirect loan portfolio, occurred during the current period, approximately $399,000, compared to $258,000 during the comparable 2005 period. Losses from the indirect loan portfolio remain within our expected range of losses. Secondarily, total loans outstanding grew $67.3 million during the second quarter of 2006, as compared to $56.6 million, during the second quarter of 2005. Finally, increases to quantitative economic risk factors employed in estimating the allowance along with changes in the composition of the loan portfolio comprised the remainder of the increase in the required provision for loan losses during the current period.
Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.54 million. This represents a 15% decrease over the prior year quarter which totaled $1.82 million. The decrease is partially attributable to a lower volume of residential real estate closings in the Monroe and Collier counties markets resulting in lower residential mortgage originations and lower fees from the sale of mortgage loans. Other income declined due primarily to higher gains from the sale of real property and other assets in comparison to gains from the sale of assets recognized in the current period.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2006 was $8.75 million. This represents a 15% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $7.61 million. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $574,000. At June 30, 2006 the Bank had 326 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees, compared to 311 full-time employees and 14 part-time employees at June 30, 2005. The increased staffing reflects our investment in the people, systems and facilities enabling the continuing growth of our business. The higher personnel costs include approximately $128,000 of stock-based compensation expense. The Company began recording compensation expense related to stock options on January 1, 2006 pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 123R. In addition, other expense includes higher costs in collection and recovery efforts associated with maintaining the low loss ratios we have experienced in our indirect loan portfolio. There is no assurance that this low loss ratio can be maintained in the future.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 38% as compared to 36% for the same period in 2005. The primary factor is the higher overall level of pre-tax income from continuing operations resulting in a higher statutory tax rate. In addition, the lower proportion of tax free interest income to pre-tax income results in the provision for income taxes approaching statutory rates.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005:
Results of Operations
For the first six months of 2006, net income increased more than 30% to $4.86 million and more than 28% to $0.82 per diluted share from the $3.73 million and $0.64 reported for the first half of 2005. Our net income from continuing operations of $4.69 million for the first six months of 2006 increased 40%, compared to $3.35 million for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first six months of 2006 were $0.81 and $0.79, respectively, as compared to $0.59 and $0.57 per share in the previous year’s comparable period.
Annualized return on average assets from continuing operations increased to 0.81% from 0.73% for the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, while the annualized return on average shareholders’ equity increased to 11.93% and 9.80% for the same periods. The increases in our return ratios are primarily due to the full utilization through asset generation and re-investment of funding generated by the growth of our deposits. This combined with improved efficiency of operations as indicated by the ratio of non-interest expense to tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income which decreased to 65.14% for the first six months of 2006 compared to 69.43% for the comparable prior year period.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased 28%, to $23.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $18.3 million in the same period last year primarily due to increases in average loans, investments and deposits. During a period of continuously increasing short-term interest rates, the federal funds interest rate increased from 2.25% at the beginning of 2005 to 5.25% by June 30, 2006, we were able to maintain a relatively stable net interest margin. Our net interest margin contracted slightly to 4.38% for the first six months of this year in comparison to 4.40% in the first six months of 2005. It is one of the objectives of our asset-liability management to minimize the impact on net interest margin of a changing interest rate environment.
Changes in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve also affect the prime rate. The prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal was 5.25% at the beginning of 2005 and increased four times to reach 6.25% at June 30, 2005 and increased to 8.25% at June 30, 2006. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they may also include floors. The higher level of the prime rate in the first six months of 2006 compared to the comparative period in 2005 is reflected in the higher average yield of the loan portfolio due to higher rates earned on variable rate loans and new loan production.
The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2006 was 7.39% which was an increase of 100 basis points compared to the 6.39% yield earned during the corresponding period of 2005. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 124 basis points from 2.31% during the first six months of 2005 to 3.55% for the comparable period in 2006, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities increased 120 basis points, from 2.51% in 2005 to 3.71% in 2006. In the next three months, we anticipate interest rates stabilizing and we expect that our net interest margin should decline slightly due to the effects of competitive pressure on loan production at higher interest rates combined with a change in deposit mix reflecting increased depositor rate sensitivity driven largely by the higher interest rate environment.
The following table presents average balances of the Company, the taxable-equivalent interest earned, and the rate paid thereon during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses increased 17% to $1.5 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $1.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan losses in 2006 was primarily attributable to the increase of quantitative economic factors employed in estimating the allowance and changes in the overall composition of the loan portfolio combined with an increase in indirect loan charge-offs. Total loans outstanding grew $120.4 million, or 14%, during the first six months of 2006, as compared to $120.3 million, or 18%, during the first six months of 2005. The largest dollar increase during the first six months of 2006 occurred in loans secured by commercial real estate which increased $56.4 million, or 12% compared to an increase of $60.2 million, or 17% during the first six months of the prior year. As of June 30, 2006, construction and vacant land loans increased 77% to $150.6 million, comprising 15% of the loan portfolio, compared to $85.1 million, or 11% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2005. These loans increased 20% during first six months of 2006 from $125.2 million, or 14% of the loan portfolio, at December 31, 2005. Net charge-offs, which are almost exclusively related to indirect loans, were $656,000, or 0.14% annualized net charge-offs to average loans, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $546,000, or 0.15% annualized net charge-offs to average loans, for the same period in 2005.
Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the first six months of 2006 was $2.99 million. This represents a 10% decrease over the comparable prior year period which totaled $3.32 million. The decrease is primarily attributable to a lower volume of residential real estate closings in the Monroe and Collier counties markets resulting in lower residential mortgage originations and lower fees from the sale of mortgage loans.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2006 was $17.3 million. This represents a 15%, increase over the prior year period which totaled $15.1 million. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $1.39 million. At June 30, 2006 the Bank had 326 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees, compared to 311 full-time employees and 14 part-time employees at June 30, 2005. The increased staffing supports our investment in the people, systems and facilities enabling the continuing growth of our business. The higher personnel costs include approximately $190,000 of stock-based compensation expense. In addition other expense includes costs in collection and recovery efforts associated with maintaining the low loss ratios we have experienced in our indirect loan portfolio. There is no assurance that this low loss ratio can be maintained in the future.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
SFAS 123R was adopted on January 1, 2006, which now requires among other items, the recognition of stock option expense in the results of operations. The modified prospective transition method was elected; therefore, prior period results were not restated. Stock-based compensation expense was $270,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. No stock-based compensation was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the results of operations during the first six months of 2006 was $144,000 higher than the proforma amount determined under the fair value-based method and disclosed in accordance with SFAS 123 for the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily due to compensation expense related to restricted stock grants occurring subsequent to the first six months of 2005. Additionally, stock option grants made subsequent to the first half of 2005 have higher fair values due to higher volatility assumptions driven by and coupled with the increasing market value of the Company’s common stock and the related option exercise prices. The effect on stock-based compensation expense of these higher fair values was further magnified by shorter expected lives associated with the shorter vesting periods of such awards. No modifications were made to existing awards prior to, upon, or subsequent to adoption of SFAS 123R.
Refer to Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information on stock-based compensation.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 38% as compared to 35% for the same period in 2005. The increased effective income tax rate is due to several significant factors including but not limited to the following:
· | The higher overall level of pre-tax income from continuing operations resulting in a higher statutory rate; |
· | The lower proportion of tax free interest income to pre-tax income results in the provision for income taxes approaching statutory rates; and |
· | The effect of stock-based compensation expense, recognized beginning January 1, 2006 subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R, resulting from incentive stock options granted to employees which is not deductible for federal and state income tax purposes. |
Balance Sheet
Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $1.23 billion, up 14% from total assets of $1.08 billion at December 31, 2005. Asset growth was primarily funded by an increase in deposits of $98.9 million, or 11%. Loans net of deferred loan costs and fees increased $120.3 million, or 14%, to $1.00 billion for the first six months of 2006 from year end 2005. The largest dollar increase came in the commercial real estate loan category which increased $56.4 million, or 12%. Also, in the same period, investment securities increased $28.2 million. As the overall company continues to experience significant growth, securities need to be purchased to maintain appropriate levels of liquid assets on the balance sheet. Specifically this year, securities were purchased; to cover pledging requirements related to the growth in cash management products, to slightly extend asset duration, and to provide increased liquidity.
At June 30, 2006, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $60.0 million an increase of $35.0 million from the prior year end. The increase in advances were used to fund growth in loans and investment securities in excess of the growth in deposits during the period.
Shareholders’ equity totaled $80.5 million at June 30, 2006, increasing $3.00 million from December 31, 2005. Book value per share increased to $13.79 at June 30, 2006 from $13.38 at December 31, 2005. The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1175 per share in the first and second quarters of 2006 and $0.115 per share in the first and second quarters of 2005.
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.
Non-performing assets were as follows:

________
(a) Non-performing loans exclude the $1.6 million loan discussed below that is guaranteed for both principal and interest by the 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and is accruing interest. Accrued interest on this loan totals approximately $864,000 and $794,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
In pursuing a sale of the property and equipment, the Bank has incurred various expenditures. The Bank capitalized the liquidation costs and portion of the protective advances which it expects will be fully reimbursed by the USDA. Other real estate recorded on the Bank’s books totaled approximately $190,000 at December 31, 2005. The non-guaranteed principal and interest ($2.0 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005) and the reimbursable capitalized liquidation costs and protective advance costs totaling approximately $839,000 and $854,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, 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. In January 2006, the Bank sold the remaining other real estate for $1.25 million and recognized a gain of $33,000 on the Bank’s interest therein, net of transaction costs.
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 $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.
(c) This ratio is computed by dividing annualized net charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and net charge offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, by the average balance of loans outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and by the average balance of loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio and amounted to $8.4 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. 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 estimate an allowance for each risk category. The estimates 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 estimate an allowance for each loan classification. The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above.
Based on an analysis performed by management at June 30, 2006, 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 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.
Further, since the net result of our estimate for the allowance results in this amount being 0.84% of outstanding loans, the risks associated with changes in the underlying factors of this estimate have an asymmetrical risk to the extent of possible negative as opposed to positive consequences. In other words, the current allowance is a result of factors whose history has indicated and justified a relatively low allowance in percentage terms. These factors have limited capacity for improvement since associated risks cannot go to zero. However, for example, factors such as economic conditions and loan loss history could conceivably deteriorate dramatically. If that were to happen, the effect on the allowance calculation would be significant and, therefore, require a large provision to absorb higher potential losses.
Capital and Liquidity
The Company's policy is to maintain capital in excess of the levels required to be Well Capitalized for regulatory purposes. Due to the Company's continued growth, Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets had declined to 10.3% at March 31, 2006. On June 23, 2006, the Company formed TIBFL Statutory Trust III (the “Trust III”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The Trust III used the proceeds from the issuance of $20 million in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The Company has treated trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowable and the remainder as Tier 2 capital for federal regulatory purposes. As a result, the ratio of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets increased to 12.0% at June 30, 2006.
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 June 30, 2006, there were $60.0 million in advances outstanding in addition to $25.0 million in letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida to collateralize deposits. 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 completed to raise the collateral availability up to approximately $184.2 million.
The Bank has an unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $12.0 million from its principal correspondent bank.
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.
Our interest rate sensitivity position at June 30, 2006 is presented in the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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 re-pricing in response to changing market rates, historically do not re-price as quickly or to the extent as other interest-sensitive accounts. Because of this, if market interest rates should decrease, it is anticipated that our net interest margin would decrease. Also, as approximately 17% of our deposit funding is comprised 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. In the next three months, we anticipate short-term interest rates will stabilize and we expect that our net interest margin should decline slightly. This expectation is due to the effects of competitive pressure on loan production at higher interest rates combined with increased depositor rate sensitivity driven largely by the higher interest rate environment. Thereafter, if federal monetary policy should result in a reversal of course, where short-term interest rates begin to decrease as has historically occurred in the six to twelve months following a pause in increases, we anticipate that our net interest margin contraction would be slower because we have positioned the Company by increasing our liability sensitivity through variable borrowings which we expect will be largely offset by the affect of having more total assets subject to rate changes than total liabilities that are rate sensitive.
Even in the near term, we believe the $309.9 million one year cumulative negative sensitivity gap may exaggerate the probable effects on earnings in a rising rate environment for two primary reasons. First, the liabilities subject to re-pricing are predominately not indexed to any specific market rate and therefore offer us the opportunity to delay or diminish any rate re-pricings. Further, the assets subject to re-pricing are expected to reflect fully any changes in market rates, primarily the prime rate.
Interest-earning assets and 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 June 30, 2006, the Company is outside this range with a one year cumulative sensitivity ratio of -26.9%. As we anticipate nearing of the end of the cycle of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, we have intentionally increased the liability sensitivity of the balance sheet through variable rate funding decisions when possible. The effectiveness of this tactic will depend on the timing and extent of any future interest rate increases and the timing and extent of the interest rate decreases we believe are likely to occur in the more distant future.
Commitments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk 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 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 June 30, 2006, total unfunded loan commitments were approximately $195.5 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 June 30, 2006, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $2.8 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 available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed in the “Liquidity” section above.
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 interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2006 was analyzed 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 a gradual and parallel shift in the yield curve. Rate changes are matched with known re-pricing intervals. The Bank uses standardized assumptions run against Bank data by an outsourced provider of Asset Liability reporting. As of June 30, 2006, this analysis indicates that the Bank would be expected to benefit in an increasing rate environment slightly more than it would be expected to be harmed by a decreasing rate environment. The results of the analysis indicate that projected annualized net interest income could be expected to increase by approximately $2.1 million in a gradual 12-month, 200 basis point interest rate increase. The analysis also indicates that a projected annualized decrease in net interest income of approximately $1.6 million could be expected from a gradual 12-month, 200 basis point interest rate decrease.
We attempt to retain interest rate neutrality by generating mostly adjustable rate loans and managing the securities, wholesale funding, and Fed Funds positions to offset the re-pricing characteristics of the deposit liabilities.
The estimates above indicate a moderate degree of long-term asset sensitivity and does not necessarily correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current fiscal year). Further, these estimates do not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate any adverse impact of changes in interest rates. Additionally, the net interest income simulation does not necessarily include certain actions that management may undertake to manage this risk in response to anticipated changes in interest rates.
