Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements. Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When used in this report, the words “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by these statements. Management decisions are subjective in many respects and susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our business strategy or capital expenditure plans and may, in turn, affect our results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this report, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any strategy, objectives or other plans. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
The Jacksonville Bank is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). This Annual Report on Form 10-K also serves as the annual disclosure statement of the Bank pursuant to Part 350 of the FDIC’s rules and regulations. This statement has not been reviewed or confirmed for accuracy or relevance by the FDIC.
PART I
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc., on a consolidated basis. References to “Bancorp” denote Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., and The Jacksonville Bank is referred to as the “Bank.”
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Bancorp was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on October 24, 1997 for the purpose of organizing the Bank. Bancorp is a one-bank holding company owning 100% of the outstanding shares of the Bank. Bancorp’s only business is the ownership and operation of the Bank. The Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Bank opened for business on May 28, 1999 and currently provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals through its five offices in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida.
We offer a variety of competitive commercial and retail banking services. In order to compete with the financial institutions in the market, we use our independent status to the fullest extent. This includes an emphasis on specialized services for small business owners with a particular focus on the medical and legal sectors. Additionally, we rely on the professional and personal relationships of our officers, directors and employees. Loan participations are arranged for customers whose loan demands exceed legal lending limits. Our product lines include personal and business online banking and sweep accounts tied to Goldman Sachs proprietary funds, in addition to our traditional banking products. Furthermore, through the Bank’s subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc., and our marketing agreement with New England Financial (an affiliate of MetLife), we are able to meet the investment and insurance needs of our customers.
Substantial consolidation of the Florida banking market has occurred since the early 1980’s. We believe that the number of depository institutions headquartered and operating in Florida will continue to decline. Our marketing programs focus on the advantages of local ownership and management, personal service and customer relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on building personal face-to-face relationships. Our management and business development teams have extensive experience with individuals and companies within our targeted market segments in the Jacksonville area. Based on our experience, we believe that we have been and will continue to be effective in gaining market share. The Bank has five full-service branches in Jacksonville, currently employing 64 bankers. We are focused on small business, professionals and commercial real estate. Over the past four years, Bancorp’s Board of Directors (also referred to herein as the “Board”) has granted every employee (excluding executive officers) of the Company restricted stock.
Market Area and Competition
Our primary market area is all of Duval County (primarily in the Southside, Westside, Arlington, Mandarin, Beaches and Downtown areas of Jacksonville). Jacksonville is the largest city in the United States covering 841 square miles and is a leading financial and insurance center. Jacksonville is home to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is the corporate headquarters to a number of regional and national companies. Duval County has a strong commercial and industrial base, which has been steadily expanding in recent years.
Financial institutions primarily compete with one another for deposits. In turn, a bank’s deposit base directly affects such bank’s loan activities and general growth. Primary competitive factors include interest rates on deposits and loans, service charges on deposit accounts, the availability of unique financial services products, a high level of personal service, and personal relationships between our officers and customers. We compete with financial institutions that have greater resources, and that may be able to offer more services, unique services, or possibly better terms to their customers. We believe, however, that we will be able to continue to attract sufficient loans and deposits to effectively compete with other area financial institutions.
We are in competition with existing area financial institutions, including commercial banks and savings institutions, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, brokerage houses, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, and other business entities which target traditional banking markets. We face increased competition due to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), discussed under Regulation and Supervision, which allows insurance firms, securities firms, and other non-traditional financial companies to provide traditional banking services. We anticipate that significant competition will continue from existing financial services providers, as well as new entrants to the market. There are 27 separate financial institutions located in Duval County, of which eight are considered community banks with their headquarters located in Duval County.
Funding Sources
Deposits
We offer a wide range of deposit accounts, including commercial and retail checking, money market, individual retirement and statement savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with fixed rates and a range of maturity options. Our sources of deposits are primarily residents, businesses, and employees of businesses within our market areas, obtained through personal solicitation by our officers and directors, direct mail solicitation, and advertisements published in the local media. We also have the ability to obtain deposits from the “national and brokered CD markets” as an additional source of funding. We pay competitive interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. In addition, our service charge schedule is competitive with other area financial institutions, covering such matters as maintenance and per item processing fees on deposit accounts and special handling charges. We are also part of the Star, Cirrus, Presto and Plus ATM networks, and a member of VISA.
Borrowings
Additional sources of funds are available to the Bank by borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). Our lending capacity with these institutions provides credit availability based on qualifying collateral from the investment and loan portfolios. See “Note 5-Deposits” and “Note 6-Short-term borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our funding sources.
Lending Activities
Our Board has adopted certain policies and procedures to guide individual loan officers in carrying out lending functions. The Board has formed a Directors’ Loan Committee and appointed six directors to provide the following oversight:
| · | ensure compliance with loan policy, procedures and guidelines as well as appropriate regulatory requirements; |
| · | approve secured loans above an aggregate amount of $500,000 and unsecured loans above an aggregate amount of $100,000 to any entity and/or related interests; |
| · | monitor overall loan quality through review of information relative to all new loans; |
| · | approve lending authority for individual officers; |
| · | monitor our loan review systems; |
| · | oversee strategies for workout of problem loan relationships; |
| · | review the adequacy of the loan loss reserve; and |
| · | approve any additional advances to any borrower whose loan or line of credit has been adversely classified Substandard. |
The Board realizes that occasionally loans need to be made which fall outside the typical policy guidelines. Consequently, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Lending Officer have the authority to make certain policy exceptions on secured loans up to $500,000 and unsecured loans up to $100,000. Policy exceptions on secured and unsecured loans greater than $500,000 and $100,000, respectively, must be approved by the Directors’ Loan Committee, and the full Board reviews reports of all loans and policy exceptions at its regular meetings. Additionally, the Bank has an independent company that also evaluates the quality of loans and determines if loans are originated in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board.
We recognize that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral, as well as general economic conditions. We intend to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, industry standards, management’s experience, historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. We follow a conservative lending policy, but one which permits prudent risks to assist businesses and consumers primarily in our principal market areas. Interest rates vary depending on our cost of funds, the loan maturity, the degree of risk and other loan terms. As appropriate, some interest rates are adjustable with fluctuations in the “prime” rate.
Loan Portfolio Composition
The composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is indicated below, along with the growth from December 31, 2008.

Our nonperforming loans as a percentage of gross loans decreased from 3.27% at December 31, 2008 to 2.24% at December 31, 2009.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate loans are typically segmented into three categories: owner occupied commercial properties, properties used by non-profit organizations (i.e., churches and schools) and commercial properties leased to third parties for investment purposes. Commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by the Board. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors.
Residential Real Estate
Residential real estate loans include loans secured by first or second mortgages and home equity loans on one-to-four family residential properties. Loans in the residential real estate portfolio are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by the Board, including repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability.
Construction and Land Loans
The Bank provides construction permanent loans to borrowers to finance the construction of owner occupied and lease properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and are also based on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. The Bank carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Bank considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information. The Bank also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. The Bank carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.
Commercial Loans
Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. As a general practice, we take as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets.
Other
Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. We also offer home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years.
Investments
The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to develop a mixture of investments with maturities and compositions so as to earn an acceptable rate of return while meeting liquidity requirements. We invest primarily in obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies. We also enter into federal funds transactions through our principal correspondent banks. Investments with maturities in excess of one year are generally readily salable on the open market.
Employees
As of February 23, 2010, the Bank had 64 employees. Except for certain officers of the Bank who also serve as officers of the Company, the Company does not have any employees. Management believes Company relations with its employees have been good.
Data Processing
We currently have an agreement with FIS, formerly known as Metavante Corporation, to provide our core processing and support certain customer products and delivery systems. We believe that FIS will continue to be able to provide state of the art data processing and customer service related processing at a competitive price to support our future growth.
Regulation and Supervision
We operate in a highly regulated environment, where statutes, regulations, and administrative policies govern our business activities. We are supervised by, examined by, and submit reports to, a number of regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and the Florida Department of Financial Services.
We are regulated by the Federal Reserve Board under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act (“BHC Act”), which requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, and before merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve Board, under its regulations and published policy statements, has maintained that a bank holding company must serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank(s). In adhering to the Federal Reserve Board policy, Bancorp may be required to provide financial support for the Bank at a time when, absent such policy, Bancorp may not otherwise deem it advisable to provide such assistance.
At one time, a bank holding company was generally prohibited from acquiring control of any company which was not a bank and from engaging in any business other than the business of banking or managing and controlling banks. In April 1997, the Federal Reserve Board revised and expanded the list of permissible non-banking activities in which a bank holding company could engage; however, limitations continue to exist under certain laws and regulations. The GLB Act repeals certain regulations pertaining to bank holding companies and eliminates many of the previous prohibitions. Specifically, Title I of the GLB Act repeals Sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act and is intended to facilitate affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance firms, and other financial companies. To further this goal, the GLB Act amends Section 4 of the BHC Act to authorize bank holding companies that qualify as “financial holding companies” to engage in securities, insurance and other activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. The activities of bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies continue to be limited to activities authorized under the BHC Act, such as activities that the Federal Reserve Board previously has determined to be closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies.
With respect to expansion, we may establish branch offices anywhere within the State of Florida with regulatory approval. We are also subject to the Florida banking and usury laws limiting the amount of interest that can be charged when making loans or other extensions of credit. In addition, the Bank, as a subsidiary of Bancorp, is subject to restrictions under federal law in dealing with Bancorp and other affiliates. These restrictions apply to extensions of credit to an affiliate, investments in the securities of an affiliate, and the purchase of assets from an affiliate.
The primary source of Bancorp’s income is expected to be dividends from the Bank. A Florida state-chartered commercial bank may not pay cash dividends that would cause the bank’s capital to fall below the minimum amount required by federal or state law. Accordingly, commercial banks may only pay dividends out of the total of current net profits plus retained net profits of the preceding two years to the extent it deems expedient, except as follows. No bank may pay a dividend at any time that the total of net income for the current year when combined with retained net income from the preceding two years produces a loss. The future ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Bancorp will also depend in part on the FDIC capital requirements in effect at such time and our ability to comply with such requirements.
Loans and extensions of credit by all banks are subject to legal lending limitations. Under state law, a state bank may generally grant unsecured loans and extensions of credit in an amount up to 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus to any person. In addition, a state bank may grant additional loans and extensions of credit to the same person of up to 10% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, provided that the transactions are fully secured. This 10% limitation is separate from, and in addition to, the 15% limitation for unsecured loans. Loans and extensions of credit may exceed these general lending limits only if they qualify under one of several exceptions.
We are subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have established risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks which make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles of various banking organizations. The capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board are applied to bank holding companies on a consolidated basis with the banks owned by the holding company. The FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines apply directly to state banks regardless of whether they are a subsidiary of a bank holding company. Both agencies’ requirements (which are substantially similar) provide that banking organizations must have minimum capital equivalent to 8% of risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately capitalized. The risk weights assigned to assets are based primarily on the perceived levels of risk to capital. For example, securities with an unconditional guarantee by the United States government are assigned the lowest risk weighting. A risk weight of 50% is assigned to loans secured by owner-occupied one-to-four family residential properties. The aggregate amount of assets assigned to each risk category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category to determine the weighted values, which are added together to determine total risk weighted assets.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) created and defined five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized), which are used to determine the nature of any corrective action the appropriate regulator may take in the event an institution reaches a given level of undercapitalization. For example, an institution which becomes undercapitalized must submit a capital restoration plan to the appropriate regulator outlining the steps it will take to become adequately capitalized. Upon approving the plan, the regulator will monitor the institution’s compliance. Before a capital restoration plan will be approved, an entity controlling a bank (i.e., the holding company) must guarantee compliance with the plan until the institution has been adequately capitalized for four consecutive calendar quarters. The liability of the holding company is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s total assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards. Further, in the event of the bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take priority over the parent’s general unsecured creditors. Undercapitalized institutions also will be restricted from paying management fees, dividends, and other capital distributions, will be subject to certain asset growth restrictions, and will be required to obtain prior approval from the appropriate regulator to open new branches or expand into new lines of business. As an institution drops to lower capital levels, the extent of action to be taken by the appropriate regulator increases, restricting the types of transactions in which the institution may engage and ultimately providing for the appointment of a receiver for certain institutions deemed to be critically undercapitalized.
The FDICIA also requires each federal banking agency to prescribe, and the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted, for all insured depository institutions and their holding companies, safety and soundness standards relating to such items as: internal controls, information and audit systems, asset quality, loan documentation, classified assets, credit underwriting, interest-rate risk exposure, asset growth, earnings, compensation, fees and benefits, valuation of publicly traded shares, and such other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Finally, each federal banking agency was required to prescribe standards for employment contracts and other compensation arrangements with executive officers, employees, directors, and principal shareholders of insured depository institutions that would prohibit compensation and benefits and other arrangements that are excessive or that could lead to a material financial loss. If an insured depository institution or its holding company fails to meet any of the standards described above, it will be required to submit to the appropriate federal banking agency a plan specifying the steps that will be taken to cure the deficiency. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement a plan, the appropriate federal banking agency will require the institution or holding company to correct the deficiency and, until corrected, may impose further restrictions on the institution or holding company, including any of the restrictions applicable under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDICIA. Both the capital standards and the safety and soundness standards that the FDICIA implements were designed to bolster and protect the deposit insurance fund.
In response to the directives issued under the FDICIA, the regulators have adopted regulations that, among other things, prescribe the capital thresholds for each of five established capital categories. The following table reflects these capital thresholds:
| | Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio | | | Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio | | | | |
Well capitalized (1) | | | 10 | % | | | 6 | % | | | 5 | % |
Adequately capitalized (1) | | | 8 | % | | | 4 | % | | | 4 | % (2) |
Undercapitalized (3) | | Less than 8% | | | Less than 4% | | | Less than 4% | |
Significantly undercapitalized | | Less than 6% | | | Less than 3% | | | Less than 3% | |
Critically undercapitalized | | | — | | | | — | | | Less than 2% | |
| (1) | An institution must meet all three minimums. |
| (2) | 3% for CAMELS composite 1 rated institutions, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines. |
| (3) | An institution falls into this category if it is below the adequately capitalized level for any of the three capital measures. |
Under these capital categories, the Bank is classified as well capitalized. At December 31, 2009, the Bank’s total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were 11.08% and 9.83%, respectively. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.75% as of the same date. In addition to maintaining all capital levels at or above well-capitalized levels, the Bank is committed to maintaining a Tier 1 leverage ratio above 8% at all times.
Under federal law and regulations and subject to certain exceptions, the addition or replacement of any director, or the employment, dismissal, or reassignment of a senior executive officer at any time that the Bank is not in compliance with applicable minimum capital requirements, or otherwise in a troubled condition, or when the FDIC has determined that such prior notice is appropriate, is subject to prior notice to, and potential disapproval by, the FDIC.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and by the various bank regulatory agencies. Accordingly, the scope of regulation and permissible activities of Bancorp and the Bank are subject to change by future federal and state legislation or regulation.
Substantially all of our revenues from external customers, long-lived assets, long-term customer relationships, mortgage and other servicing rights, deferred policy acquisition costs, and deferred tax assets are attributed to the United States.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the risks. If any of the events contemplated by the risk factors discussed below actually impact us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If this were to occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
Since we commenced operations in 1999, we have had a relatively short history of experiencing profits.
We rely on the profitability of the Bank to provide funding for our operations. We cannot assure you that we will consistently operate profitably in the future. While we project that the Bank will be profitable in the foreseeable future periods, we are unable to assure you that we will earn profits as projected, that we will be able to maintain profitability, or that the Bank will be able to consistently fund our ongoing operations.
We are not certain that our capital will be adequate to continue to support the current rate of growth.
Future capital requirements depend on many factors, including the ability to successfully attract new customers and provide additional services, the timing of opening new branch locations, our decision to acquire or merge with other banks or bank holding companies, and our profitability levels. If adequate capital is not available, we will be subject to an increased level of regulatory supervision, we may not be able to expand our operations, and our business operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We may require additional capital in the future, which could result in dilution of your ownership interest.
Any capital that is likely to be generated by our operations over the next several years is expected to be needed to continue expanding our operations. Additionally, our board of directors may determine from time to time that, in order to support our strategic objectives, there is a need to obtain additional capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other securities. These issuances would dilute the ownership interest of current shareholders in the Company, may dilute the per share book value of our common stock and would only require shareholder approval under certain circumstances.
Our business may face risks with respect to future expansion.
We may acquire other financial institutions or parts of financial institutions in the future and we may engage in additional de novo branch expansion. Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including:
| · | the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners, and negotiations and consummation of any such transactions; |
| · | the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the target institution may not be accurate; |
| · | the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new offices, and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion; |
| · | our ability to finance an acquisition and possible dilution to our existing shareholders; |
| · | the diversion of our management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction, and the integration of the operations and personnel of the combining businesses; |
| · | entry into new markets where we lack experience; |
| · | the introduction of new products and services into our business; |
| · | the incurrence and possible impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and possible adverse effects on our results of operations; and |
| · | the risk of loss of key employees and customers. |
We may incur substantial costs to expand and can give no assurance such expansion will result in the levels of profits we would expect. We may issue equity securities, including common stock, in connection with future acquisitions, which could cause ownership and economic dilution to our shareholders. There is no assurance that, following any future mergers or acquisitions, our integration efforts will be successful or, after giving effect to the acquisition, that we will achieve profits comparable to, or better than, our historical experience.
Customers may not repay their loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
The risk that customers may fail to repay their loans is inherent in any bank lending relationship. If our loans are not repaid in accordance with the loan terms, it could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition as well as the value of our common stock. We focus our lending activity in commercial, commercial real estate, residential, home equity and consumer loans.
Our management attempts to minimize credit exposure by carefully monitoring the concentration of loans within specific industries and through loan application and approval procedures. However, we are unable to assure you that such monitoring and procedures will reduce lending risks. Credit losses can cause insolvency and failure of a financial institution and, in such event, shareholders could lose their entire investment.
Our business focus in the Jacksonville area of Florida could make us vulnerable to adverse economic conditions in the area.
Our operations are materially affected by and sensitive to the economy of our market areas in northeastern Florida, and are particularly impacted by the economic conditions in Duval County and the Jacksonville metropolitan area. Because our business is focused in the Jacksonville area, we could be more affected by a weakening of the Jacksonville area economy than banking institutions with operations in diverse geographical areas.
Our concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase our credit losses, which would negatively affect our financial results.
Due to the nature of our market, a significant portion of the portfolio has historically been secured with real estate. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 68.1% of our $391.4 million loan portfolio was secured by commercial real estate.
The current downturn in the real estate market, the deterioration in the value of collateral, and the local and national economic recessions have adversely affected our clients’ ability to repay their loans. If these conditions persist, or get worse, our clients’ ability to repay their loans will be further eroded. In the event we are required to foreclose on a property securing one of our mortgage loans or otherwise pursue our remedies in order to protect our investment, we may be unable to recover funds in an amount equal to our projected return on our investment or in an amount sufficient to prevent a loss to us due to prevailing economic conditions, real estate values and other factors associated with the ownership of real property. As a result, the market value of the real estate or other collateral underlying our loans may not, at any given time, be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding principal amount of the loans, and consequently, we would sustain loan losses.
Current economic conditions and industry developments may adversely affect our business and financial results.
If the current U.S. recession continues for a long period of time or the economy and industry experience further deterioration, there can be no assurance that our business, our industry or results of operations will not be significantly adversely impacted. We may have further increases in loan losses, deterioration of capital or limitations on our access to funding or capital. A prolonged recession could also cause further deterioration in real estate values which could drive foreclosures and higher losses than we have historically experienced.
Our location on the east coast of Florida makes us susceptible to weather-related problems.
We rely on our ongoing operations to sustain profitability. Our Bank branches and corporate headquarters are located in the Jacksonville area of Florida and can be impacted by climate changes. The State of Florida has been vulnerable to physical effects on our business such as tropical storms, hurricanes and tornadoes. Although we have a disaster recovery plan in place, we cannot ensure that severe weather conditions affecting the State of Florida will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are subject to government regulation and monetary policies that could constrain our growth and profitability.
Bank regulators have imposed various conditions on us. The conditions include, among other things, that: (1) we would not assume additional debt without prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board; (2) we will remain well-capitalized at all times; (3) we will make appropriate filings with the regulatory agencies; and (4) the Bank will meet all regulatory requirements. The regulatory capital requirements imposed on the Bank could have the effect of constraining growth.
We are subject to extensive state and federal government supervision and regulations that impose substantial limitations with respect to loans, purchases of securities, payment of dividends, and many other aspects of the banking business. Regulators include the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, and the Florida Department of Banking and Finance (the "Florida DBF"). Applicable laws, regulations, interpretations, assessments and enforcement policies have been subject to significant and sometimes retroactively applied changes and may be subject to significant future changes. Regulatory agencies are funded, in part, by assessments imposed upon banks. The FDIC Board of Directors has approved a new system for risk-based assessments effective January 1, 2007 which resulted in additional cost to the Bank in support of a designated reserve ratio. Additional assessments could occur in the future which could impact our financial condition. Many of these regulations are intended to protect depositors, the public, and the FDIC, not shareholders. Future legislation or government policy could adversely affect the banking industry, our operations, or our shareholders. The burden imposed by federal and state regulations may place banks, in general, and us, specifically, at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors. Federal economic and monetary policy may affect our ability to attract deposits, make loans, and achieve satisfactory operating results.
We could be negatively impacted by changes in interest rates and economic conditions.
Our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including declines in real estate market values, rapid changes in interest rates, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Our profitability is partly a function of the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and those paid on deposits and other liabilities. As with most banking institutions, our net interest spread is affected by general economic conditions and other factors that influence market interest rates. Changes in interest rates may negatively affect our earnings and the value of our assets. Changes in interest rates may affect our level of interest income, the primary component of our gross revenue, as well as the level of our interest expense, our largest recurring expenditure. In a period of rising interest rates, our interest expense could increase in different amounts and at different rates while the interest that we earn on our assets may not change in the same amounts or at the same rates. Accordingly, increases in interest rates could decrease our net interest income. At any given time, our assets and liabilities may be affected differently by a given change in interest rates. As a result, an increase or decrease in rates could have a material adverse effect on our net income, capital and liquidity. While we take measures to reduce interest-rate risk, these measures may not adequately minimize exposure to interest-rate risk.
Bancorp is dependent on the operating performance of the Bank to provide Bancorp with operating funds.
Bancorp is a bank holding company and is dependent upon dividends from the Bank for funds to pay expenses and any cash dividends to shareholders. The Bank is subject to regulatory limitations regarding the payment of dividends. Therefore, the Bank may not be able to provide Bancorp with adequate funds to conduct Bancorp’s ongoing operations.
We face competition from a variety of competitors.
We face competition for deposits, loans and other financial services from other community banks, regional banks, out-of-state and in-state national banks, savings banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities that provide financial services, including consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, mortgage brokers, insurance companies, mutual funds, and other lending sources and alternative investment providers. Some of these financial institutions and financial services organizations are not subject to the same degree of regulation as we are. We face increased competition due to the GLB Act which allows insurance firms, securities firms, and other non-traditional financial companies to provide traditional banking services. It can be expected that significant competition will continue from existing financial services providers, as well as new entrants to the market. Many of these competitors have been in business for many years, have established customers, are larger, have substantially higher lending limits than we do, and are able to offer certain services that we do not provide, such as certain loan products and international banking services. In addition, many of these entities have greater capital resources than we have, which among other things may allow them to price their services at levels more favorable to the customer or to provide larger credit facilities. If we are unable to attract and retain customers with personal services, attractive product offerings and competitive rates, our business, results of operations, future growth and operational results will be adversely affected.
Our lending limit restricts our ability to compete with larger financial institutions.
Our per customer lending limit is approximately $9.6 million, subject to further reduction based on regulatory criteria relevant to any particular loan. Accordingly, the size of loans which we can offer to potential customers is less than the size that many of our competitors with larger lending limits are able to offer. This limit has affected and will continue to affect our ability to seek relationships with larger businesses in the market. We accommodate loans in excess of our lending limit through the sale of portions of such loans to other banks. However, we may not be successful in attracting or maintaining customers seeking larger loans or in selling portions of such larger loans on terms that are favorable to us.
We may need to spend significant money to keep up with technology so we can remain competitive.
The banking industry continues to undergo rapid technological changes with frequent introduction of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to providing better service to customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables us to reduce costs. Our future success depends in part upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional operating efficiencies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. Such technology may permit competitors to perform certain functions at a lower cost than we can. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these to our customers.
We are dependent on the experience and expertise of our current management and their departure may impair our operations.
Bancorp and the Bank are primarily dependent upon the services of Gilbert J. Pomar, III, Chief Executive Officer and President; Valerie A. Kendall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Scott M. Hall, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer. If the services of these individuals were to become unavailable for any reason, or if we were unable to hire highly qualified and experienced personnel to replace them, our operating results could be adversely affected. The Bank has an employment agreement with each of these three employees.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our common stock is thinly traded and, therefore, you may have difficulty selling shares.
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market; however, we are unable to provide assurance that an active market will exist in the future or that shares can be liquidated without delay. The average daily trading volume in Bancorp common stock was 1,205 shares in 2009.
Bancorp does not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future.
Bancorp does not anticipate that dividends will be paid on its common stock for the foreseeable future. It is the policy of Bancorp’s Board to reinvest earnings for such period of time as is necessary to ensure our successful operations. There are no current plans to initiate payment of cash dividends, and future dividend policy will depend on our earnings, capital and regulatory requirements, financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by Bancorp’s Board. Bancorp is largely dependent upon dividends paid by the Bank to provide funds to pay cash dividends if and when the Board may declare such dividends. No assurance can be given that future earnings will be sufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements and permit the legal payment of dividends to shareholders at any time in the future. Even if Bancorp could legally declare dividends, the amount and timing of such dividends would be at the discretion of its Board.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock is subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including the following:
| · | quarterly variations in our operating results or those of other banking institutions; |
| · | changes in national and regional economic conditions, financial markets or the banking industry; and |
| · | other developments affecting us or other financial institutions. |
The trading volume of our common stock is limited, which may increase the volatility of the market price for our stock. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and certain laws that we are subject to, contain provisions that may delay or prevent a change of control.
Sections 607.0901 through 607.0908 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the "FBCA") provide for supermajority voting and impose other requirements on certain business combinations with interested shareholders and limit voting rights of certain acquirers of control shares. Federal law requires the approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquisition or "control" of a bank holding company. Bancorp’s articles of incorporation provide that the FBCA's control shares statute applies to acquisitions of our shares unless the acquirer has acquired the shares (1) for others in good faith and not to circumvent the control shares statute and requires instruction from others to vote the shares, or (2) through a distribution conducted by Bancorp in a private or public offering or under a warrant, option or employee benefit plan, under the laws of descent and distribution, from a donee of a lifetime gift, through a transfer between immediate family members or through satisfaction of a pledge or security interest.
Bancorp’s articles of incorporation also (1) provide for a board of directors that is divided into three classes of directors; (2) require the shareholders to take action at a duly called meeting and not by written consent; (3) limit the Board's ability to increase the number of directors; (4) require the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of Bancorp’s voting stock for certain affiliated transactions such as mergers, consolidations, sales, leases, pledges, transfers, dissolutions, reclassifications with or loans to shareholders owning more than 10% of our shares or their affiliates unless the transaction is approved by the disinterested directors and certain other conditions are met; (5) require the Board to consider a variety of factors when evaluating any proposal involving a potential tender or exchange offer, merger, sale or business combination, including the social and economic impact of such a proposal on customers, employees, and the communities in which Bancorp operates or is located, and on Bancorp’s ability to fulfill its corporate objectives and perform under applicable statutes and regulations; and (6) require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66% of the voting stock to change any provisions of the articles of incorporation relating to the right of shareholders to act by consent, the classification of the board, affiliated transactions or control share acquisitions. These provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. As a result, these provisions could adversely affect the price of Bancorp’s common stock by reducing the gain which could potentially be realized by a shareholder in a change of control.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
General
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) was incorporated on October 24, 1997 and was organized to conduct the operations of The Jacksonville Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business on May 28, 1999, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Bank provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals in Duval County, Florida. During 2000, the Bank formed Fountain Financial, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. The primary business activities of Fountain Financial, Inc. consist of the referral of the Bank’s customers to third parties for the sale of insurance and investment products.
Business Strategy
Our primary business segment is community banking and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. We also invest in mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by the United States Government, and agencies thereof, as well as other securities.
Our goal is to sustain profitable, controlled growth by focusing on increasing our loan and deposit market share in the Northeast Florida market by developing new financial products, services and delivery channels; closely managing yields on earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities; focusing on noninterest income opportunities; controlling the growth of noninterest expenses; and maintaining strong asset quality. Our current strategy is to grow organically and through acquisition if price, culture and market fit within our strategies.
2009 Executive Overview
The following were significant factors related to 2009 results as compared to 2008. The 2009 performance is reflective of the successful execution of our strategy to focus on organic growth within the Northeast Florida market. During 2009, our total gross loans increased by $11.3 million, or 3.0%. We recorded growth in residential and commercial real estate loans offset by decreases in construction, land and commercial loans. During the year, residential real estate loans increased by $16.0 million, or 19.7%, and commercial real estate loans increased by $8.9 million, or 4.0%. Construction real estate loans decreased by $8.8 million, or 21.0%, and commercial loans decreased by $4.6 million, or 16.2%.
Total deposits increased by $25.1 million, or 7.3%, during 2009. The following are changes in the deposit categories:
| o | Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2.9 million, or 7.0%. |
| o | Money market, savings and NOW deposits increased by $17.1 million, or 19.5%. |
| o | The certificate of deposit portfolio increased by $5.2 million, or 2.4%. The Company’s management pursued local deposits more aggressively by offering competitive deposit products in an effort to attract core deposits and utilized the National and Brokered CD markets as an additional source of funding the asset growth. |
| o | Borrowed funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances¸ Federal Reserve borrowings, and subordinated debentures, totaled $60.6 million at year end 2008 compared to $39.8 million at the end of 2009. During 2009, we decreased our Federal Reserve borrowing by $26.0 million and increased our FHLB advances by $5.0 million. |
Total shareholders’ equity increased $423,000, or 1.6%, during 2009. Management remains committed to retaining sufficient equity to protect shareholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with regulatory requirements.
The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.75% at December 31, 2009, compared to 1.24% at December 31, 2008. During 2009, the Company had charge-offs of $2.2 million, recoveries of $23,000 and recorded a provision for loan loss of $4.4 million, compared to charge-offs of $2.1 million, recoveries of $114,000 and provision for loan losses of $3.6 million in 2008.
Our net income was $76,000 in 2009 as compared to $35,000 in 2008. Our diluted earnings per share were $0.04 in 2009 as compared to $0.02 in 2008. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.02% and 0.28%, respectively, in 2009 compared to 0.01% and 0.13%, respectively, in 2008.
Interest income was $23.2 million in 2009 compared to $25.6 million in 2008, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 9.2%, as a result of the repricing of our assets in this low interest rate environment along with the impact of nonperforming assets. Interest expense was $9.7 million in 2009 compared to $13.6 million in 2008, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 28.3%, as a result of the low interest rate environment; this was offset somewhat by a transition from low-cost wholesale funding into a more expensive time deposit.
Basic average shares outstanding increased to 1,748,683 in 2009 from 1,748,295 in 2008. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased to 1,791,164 from 1,791,342 in the same periods.
Noninterest income was $841,000 for 2009 compared to $1.2 million in 2008. Included in noninterest income was a $132,000 loss on a nonmarketable equity security in 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective or complex have to do with the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company's primary critical accounting policy is the establishment and maintenance of an allowance for loan loss.
The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectability of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. The level of the allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding, because either more or less allowance is required as the amount of the Company's credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management's estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates, or the mix of loan types changes, the level of the provision for loan loss, and related allowance can, and will, fluctuate.
Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell the property, with any difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan being charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the assets at the time of transfer. Those subsequent changes, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please refer to “Adoption of New Accounting Standards” contained in Note 1 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the adoption of new accounting standards and the effect of newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards.
FDIC Insurance Assessments
The FDIC is an independent federal agency established originally to insure the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally insured banks and to preserve the safety and soundness of the banking industry. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities.
The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Bank pays deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on a risk-based assessment system established by the FDIC for all insured institutions. Institutions considered well-capitalized and financially sound pay the lowest premiums, while those institutions that are less than adequately capitalized and of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premiums. During 2008, assessment rates for all insured institutions ranged from 5 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for well-capitalized institutions with minor supervisory concerns to 43 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concerns. In 2009, assessment rates are expected to range between 12 and 50 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for the first quarter and 8 and 77.5 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for the remainder of the year. The large premium increase is due to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, both of which increased the deposit insurance coverage available to the Bank’s depositors.
In February 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (collectively, the Reform Act) were signed into law. The Reform Act revised the laws concerning federal deposit insurance by making the following changes: (i) merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new fund, the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), effective March 31, 2006; (ii) increasing the deposit insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts to $250,000 effective April 1, 2006; (iii) beginning in 2010, deposit insurance coverage on individual accounts may be indexed for inflation; (iv) the FDIC will have more discretion in managing deposit insurance assessments; and (v) eligible institutions will receive a one-time initial assessment credit.
The Reform Act authorized the FDIC to revise the risk-based assessment system. Accordingly, insurance premiums are based on a number of factors, including the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the DIF. The Reform Act replaced the minimum reserve ratio of 1.25% with a range of between 1.15% and 1.50% for the DIF, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment rates at the end of each calendar year. In addition, the FDIC is no longer prohibited from charging banks in the lowest risk category when the reserve ratio premium is greater than 1.25%.
In November 2006, the FDIC adopted changes to its risk-based assessment system. Under the new system, the FDIC will evaluate an institution’s risk based on supervisory ratings for all insured institutions, financial ratios for most institutions and long-term debt issuer ratings for certain large institutions.
In October 2008, the EESA was signed into law. The EESA temporarily revises the federal deposit insurance laws by increasing the basic deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. In May 2009, the FDIC extended the basic deposit insurance through December 31, 2013.
On September 29, 2009, the FDIC adopted an Amended Restoration Plan to allow the Deposit Insurance Fund to return to a reserve ratio of 1.15% within eight years. The FDIC amended its prior ruling on deposit assessments to require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. This prepaid assessment was collected in December 2009, along with each institution’s regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter 2009. The FDIC also increased annual assessment rates uniformly by three basis points effective January 1, 2011. Additional special assessments may be imposed by the FDIC for future periods.
In order to promote financial stability in the economy, the FDIC adopted the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) on October 13, 2008. Participation in the program is voluntary; however, once participation is elected, it cannot be revoked. The Bank elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program component of the TLGP. Under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, the FDIC will fully insure funds held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are ones that do not accrue or pay interest and for which the institution does not require an advance notice of withdrawal. Also covered are interest on lawyers’ trust accounts (IOLTA) and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts with interest rates lower than 50 basis points. These revisions are effective until June 30, 2010.
Securities
The securities portfolio is categorized as either "held to maturity," "available for sale," or "trading." Securities held to maturity represent those securities which the Bank has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities available for sale represent those investments which may be sold for various reasons, including changes in interest rates and liquidity considerations. These securities are reported at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Trading securities are held primarily for resale and are recorded at their fair values. Gains or losses on trading securities are included immediately in earnings. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Bank had no trading securities.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is substantially less than their average contractual terms due to prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on loans generally give us the right to declare a conventional loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells real property subject to a mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase, however, when current mortgage loan rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on existing mortgages are substantially higher than current mortgage loan rates.
Credit Risk
Our primary business is making commercial, real estate, business and consumer loans. That activity entails potential loan losses, the magnitude of which depends on a variety of economic factors affecting borrowers which are beyond our control. While the Company has instituted underwriting guidelines and credit review procedures to protect it from avoidable credit losses, some losses will inevitably occur. At December 31, 2009, the Company had nonperforming loans of $8.7 million that were not accruing interest. In addition, the Company had net loan charge-offs totaling $2.2 million in 2009.
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. The following table sets forth certain information regarding nonaccrual loans, including the ratio of such loans to total assets as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

From time to time the Bank may utilize an interest reserve for a borrower’s future interest payments to ensure the payments remain current through maturity. At December 31, 2009, we had $23,685 in loans where such reserves existed. Of this total, $17,106 was considered substandard. On all but $1,335 of total loans, the interest reserve was either funded fully by the borrower out of their own funds or was funded through a separate loan facility underwritten by separate collateral and cash flows.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management has adopted a methodology to properly analyze and determine an adequate loan loss allowance. The analysis is based on sound, reliable and well documented information and is designed to support an allowance that is adequate to absorb all estimated losses in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio.
Due to their similarities, the Company has grouped the loan portfolio into four components. The components are commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. The Company has created a loan classification system to properly calculate the allowance for loan losses. Loan are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is 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 sale of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
In estimating the overall exposure to loss on impaired loans, the Company has considered a number of factors, including the borrower’s character, overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and the realizable value of any collateral.
The Company also considers other internal and external factors when determining the allowance for loan losses. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions, commercial lending staff limitations, impact from lengthy commercial loan workout and charge-off period, loan portfolio concentrations and trends in the loan portfolio.
Senior management reviews this calculation and the underlying assumptions on a routine basis not less frequently than quarterly.
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $6.9 million and $4.7 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Based on an analysis performed by management at December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses is considered to be appropriate to absorb 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.
The Bank has experienced an increase in adversely classified loans from $28.9 million at December 31, 2008 to $44.8 million at December 31, 2009. Of this amount, $22.5 million is listed as impaired. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 2.24% at December 31, 2009, compared to 3.28% at December 31, 2008. All adversely classified loans are monitored closely and the majority of these loans are collateralized by real estate. Management has analyzed its collateral position and is comfortable that the loan loss reserve at December 31, 2009 is appropriate.
Loans past due 30-89 days still accruing interest was $5,308 at December 31, 2009, compared to $1,797 at December 31, 2008. The increase in loans past due 30-89 days still accruing interest is being driven primarily by one loan in the amount of $2.9 million, which continues to perform and is not anticipated to deteriorate to nonaccrual status.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds
General. In addition to deposits, the sources of funds available for lending and other business purposes include loan repayments, loan sales, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, Federal Reserve borrowings, federal funds purchased lines of credit, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in other sources, such as deposits, or due to favorable differentials in rates and other costs.
Deposits. Deposits are attracted principally from our primary geographic market areas in Duval County, Florida. The Bank also enhanced its geographical diversity by offering certificates of deposits through brokered markets and nationally to other financial institutions. In August 2009, the Company launched its “Virtual Branch” to attract deposits from other geographic market areas. The Bank offers a broad selection of deposit products, including demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans (such as IRAs). Certificate of deposit rates are set to encourage maturities based on current market conditions. Deposit account terms vary, with the primary differences being the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit, and the associated interest rates. The Company holds quarterly Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings, comprised of members of the Board of Directors and management. In addition, pricing meetings are held by members of management on a monthly basis or more frequently if economic conditions dictate. The Bank emphasizes commercial banking and small business relationships in an effort to increase demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank’s liquidity is its ability to maintain a steady flow of funds to support its ongoing operating, investing and financing activities. The Bank’s Board establishes policies and analyzes and manages liquidity to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. Liquidity management is viewed from a long-term and a short-term perspective as well as from an asset and liability management perspective. We monitor liquidity through a regular review of loan and deposit maturities and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk.
As discussed above, sources of liquidity include principal paydowns of loans and investment securities, customer deposits and borrowings. The Bank has an unsecured federal funds purchased accommodation with its main correspondent bank totaling $5.3 million at December 31, 2009; $5.1 million was available as of that date. In addition, the Bank has invested in FHLB stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with FHLB. This line is collateralized by a lien arrangement on the Bank’s first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans. Based on this collateral and the Bank’s holdings of FHLB stock, the Bank had a line of credit availability of $68.3 million from this credit line, of which it had borrowed $25.0 million at December 31, 2009. Additionally, the Bank has a “Borrower in Custody” line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank utilizing excess collateral and pledging $5.7 million in municipal securities. The amount of this line at December 31, 2009 was $29.8 million, all of which was available at that date. In addition, the Bank had available credit lines with other correspondent banks totaling $9.7 million.
Additionally, the Bank has access to the national and brokered deposit markets to supplement liquidity needs. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $65.9 million in national and $35.7 million in brokered CD’s.
Scheduled maturities and paydowns of the Company’s investment securities are an additional source of liquidity. During 2009, the Company had received approximately $12.1 million from maturities, paydowns and calls of investment securities. The Bank also has the ability to convert marketable securities into cash or access new or existing sources of incremental funds if the need should arise.
At December 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to borrowers for available lines of credit and standby letters of credit totaling $25.5 million and $560,000, respectively. Based on the sources of liquidity discussed above, the Company believes that it has access to sufficient funds to cover such commitments, should the need arise.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank is required to meet certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and percentages of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2009, the Bank and Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. The regulatory capital minimums and the Company’s and Bank's actual data for the indicated periods are set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands). Management and the Board of Directors have committed to maintain Total Risk-Based Capital at 10% and Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets at 8% at the Bank and the Company.

Under Federal Reserve policy, Bancorp is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, the Bank. Management actively manages capital levels in conjunction with asset growth plans, creating a positive impact on shareholder value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
The Company 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 are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit, and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Asset - - Liability Structure
As part of its asset and liability management, the Bank has emphasized establishing and implementing internal asset-liability decision processes as well as communications and control procedures to aid in enhancing its earnings. It is believed that these processes and procedures provide the Bank with better capital planning, asset mix and volume controls, loan pricing guidelines, and deposit interest rate guidelines, which should result in tighter controls and less exposure to interest-rate risk.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest-rate sensitive and by monitoring an institution's interest-rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. The gap ratio is computed as rate-sensitive assets less rate-sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets. A gap is considered positive when the total of rate-sensitive assets exceeds rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds rate-sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap should result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap should adversely affect net interest income.
In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on the results of operations, the Bank continues to monitor asset and liability management policies to appropriately match the maturities and repricing terms of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Such policies have consisted primarily of: (1) emphasizing the origination of variable-rate loans; (2) maintaining a stable core deposit base; and (3) maintaining a sound level of liquid assets (cash and securities).
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2009 that are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within the period shown (dollars in thousands):

(1) | Variable rate loans are included in the period in which the interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which the loans mature. Fixed rate loans are scheduled, including repayments, according to their contractual maturities. |
(2) | Certain liabilities such as NOW accounts, while technically are subject to immediate repricing in response to changing market rates, historically have shown little volatility. Conversely, many of the money market and savings accounts float with the prime lending rate and, therefore, are assumed to reprice within a three-month horizon. Management subjectively sets rates on all accounts. |
Results of Operations
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest income is determined by the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities ("interest rate spread") and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. In addition, our net earnings are also affected by the level of nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets, as well as the level of noninterest income and noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, and income taxes.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding: (1) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yield; (2) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (3) net interest/dividend income; (4) interest rate spread; and (5) net interest margin. Average balances are based on average daily balances (dollars in thousands).

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008
| General. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $76,000, or $0.04 per basic share and $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net earnings of $35,000, or $0.02 per basic and $0.02 per diluted share in 2008. |
| Interest Income and Expense. Interest income decreased $2.4 million from $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $23.2 million in 2009. Interest earned on loans was $22.2 million in 2009, compared to $24.1 million in 2008. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on loans from 6.51% in 2008 to 5.70% in 2009, offset by an increase in the average loan portfolio balance from $370.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $389.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. |
The average security balance was $27.2 million in 2009, compared to $31.9 million in 2008. The interest on securities decreased to $1.1 million in 2009 from $1.4 million in 2008. The average yield on securities decreased 59 basis points from 4.50% in 2008 to 3.91% in 2009.
Interest expense on deposit accounts amounted to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $11.3 million in 2008. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 3.81% in 2008 to 2.68% in 2009, and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits from $297.2 million in 2008 to $293.0 million in 2009. Interest on FHLB advances, subordinated debt, Federal Reserve borrowing and other borrowings amounted to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, with a weighted average cost of 2.66%. In July 2008, the Company issued an additional $7.6 million of trust preferred securities priced at three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points. On July 7, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SunTrust Bank to mitigate interest rate risk exposure. Under the terms of the agreement, which relates to the subordinated debt issued to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III in the amount of $7,550, the Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 7.53% for a period of ten years in exchange for the original floating rate contract (90-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points).
| Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the collectability of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.6 million in 2008. The provision expense was necessitated primarily by an increase in net charge-offs and the ongoing softening in real estate values in our market. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $2.2 million in 2009 compared to $2.0 million during 2008. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $6.9 million at December 31, 2009 is appropriate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of that date. |
| Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $841,000 for 2009 compared to $1.2 million in 2008. The decline was principally the result of recognizing a $132,000 write-off in the stock of Silverton Bank, N.A. due to its May 2009 failure and a $127,000 reduction in the earnings on the BOLI policy. This was offset by a loan referral fee of $52,000. |
| Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $9.8 million in 2008. Increases in regulatory assessments and data processing were offset by a reduction in compensation expense, directors’ fees and professional fees during 2009. In 2008, the Company recorded a $468,000 charge as a result of the termination of the agreement to acquire Heritage Bancshares, Inc. |
| Income Taxes (Benefit). The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $104,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $229,000 in 2008. The tax benefit is the result of the benefits derived from tax-free municipal bonds and tax-free income earned on the bank-owned life insurance policies, resulting in a greater percentage of loss being taxed at the statutory rates. |
Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007
| General. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $35,000, or $0.02 per basic share and $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net earnings of $3.0 million, or $1.70 per basic and $1.63 per diluted share in 2007. |
| Interest Income and Expense. Interest income decreased $1.2 million from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $25.6 million in 2008. Interest earned on loans was $24.1 million in 2008, compared to $25.3 million in 2007. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on loans from 7.99% in 2007 to 6.51% in 2008, offset by an increase in the average loan portfolio balance from $317.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $370.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. |
The average security balance was $31.9 million in 2008, compared to $30.2 million in 2007. The interest on securities remained relatively flat at $1.4 million for 2008 and 2007. The average yield on securities decreased 14 basis points from 4.64% in 2007 to 4.50% in 2008.
Interest expense on deposit accounts amounted to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $12.0 million in 2007. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 4.66% in 2007 to 3.81% in 2008, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits from $258.0 million in 2007 to $297.2 million in 2008. Interest on FHLB advances, subordinated debt, Federal Reserve borrowing and other borrowings amounted to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, with a weighted average cost of 4.15%. In July 2008, the Company issued an additional $7.6 million of trust preferred securities priced at three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points.
| Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company's market areas, and other factors related to the collectability of the Company's loan portfolio. The provision for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3.6 million, compared to $542,000 in 2007. The increase in provision expense was necessitated primarily by an increase in net charge-offs and the Bank’s aggressive efforts to identify any potential losses in the portfolio. The Company had net loan charge-offs of $2.0 million in 2008 compared to $47,000 during 2007. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4.7 million at December 31, 2008 was appropriate. |
| Noninterest Income. Noninterest income remained relatively flat at $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. |
| Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $8.5 million in 2007. Compensation expenses, professional fees, data processing fees, FDIC assessments, a one-time charge of $38,000 for the disposal of fixed assets no longer in use and a $468,000 charge for expenses related to the termination of the merger agreement with Heritage Bancshares, Inc. accounted for the majority of noninterest expense increasing $1.3 million. |
| Income Taxes (Benefit). The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $229,000 compared to an income tax expense of $1,588,000 in 2007. |
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in lending and deposit-taking activities. To that end, we actively monitor and manage interest-rate risk exposure. There are three primary committees that are responsible for monitoring and managing risk exposure: ALCO Committee of the Bank’s Board; Management ALCO Committee; and Pricing & Liquidity Management Committee.
The ALCO Committee of the Bank’s Board meets quarterly to review a summary reporting package along with strategies proposed by management.
The Management ALCO Committee, which consists of the Chairman of the ALCO Committee of the Bank’s Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, and Senior Vice President of Community Banking meets quarterly to review the liquidity position and earnings simulation reports and to ensure there is adequate capital to meet growth strategies. Strategy development is structured to mitigate any exposure that is indicated through the modeling.
The Pricing & Liquidity Management Committee meets monthly to execute the strategies set forth by the preceding two committees. Senior management and select members from other departments comprise this committee.
Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company utilizes a third party and its proprietary simulation model to assist in identifying and managing interest-rate risk. The December 31, 2009 analysis of the Company’s sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates is presented below. Specifically, the model derives expected interest income and interest expense resulting from an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve in the amounts shown.
The starting balances in the Asset/Liability model reflect actual balances on the “as of” date, adjusted for material and significant transactions. Pro forma balances remain static unless otherwise noted by management. This enables interest-rate risk embedded within the existing balance sheet structure to be isolated (growth assumptions can mask interest-rate risk). Management believes, under normal economic conditions, the most indicative indicator of risk is the +/- 200 basis point “shock” (parallel shift) scenario. However, due to the current rate environment, management believes a more reasonable shock in the down scenario is 100 basis points. To provide further exposure to the level of risk/volatility, a “ramping” (gradual increase over 12 months) of rates is modeled as well.
Rate changes are matched with known repricing intervals and assumptions about new growth and expected prepayments. Assumptions are based on the Company’s experience as well as industry standards under varying market and interest-rate environments. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated and the resulting net positions are identified.
The analysis exaggerates the sensitivity to changes in key interest rates by assuming an immediate change in rates with no management intervention to change the composition of the balance sheet. The Bank’s primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital, while adjusting our asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. However, a sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. The Bank does not engage in trading activities.

The interest rate risk position of the Company is slightly liability sensitive. Under the simulation modeling, the base is projected to decrease slightly over the first year as rates rise; as rates fall, net interest income remains relatively flat with the base. The short-term CD portfolio is overshadowed by the large base of floating rate loans. The large volume of one-year CD’s roll over into fully indexed CD rates offset by the lag in loan repricing due to a significant level of floors that have been placed on floating rate loans.
While management carefully monitors the exposure to changes in interest rates and takes necessary actions as warranted to decrease any adverse impact, there can be no assurance on the actual effect on net interest income as a result of rate changes.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc.
Jacksonville, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting standards used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company currently provides financial services through its five offices in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. Its primary business segment is community banking and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows: For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions with maturities fewer than 90 days and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, federal funds purchased, Federal Reserve discount window and other borrowings.
Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Other securities, such as FHLB stock, are carried at cost.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; and the Company’s intent or likelihood that it would be required to sell.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Interest income on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Overdrawn customer checking accounts are reclassified as consumer loans and are evaluated on an individual basis for collectability. The balances, which totaled $68,000 and $198,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are included in the estimate of allowance for loan losses and are charged off when collectability is considered doubtful.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Duval County. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in Duval County.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using 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 special mention, substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans by loan type and is based on historical loss experience for each loan type adjusted for current factors.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be 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 sale of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans’ effective rate at inception.
Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or in place of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs incurred after acquisition are expensed.
Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell the property, with any difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan being charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the assets at the time of transfer. Those subsequent changes, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense.
Federal Home Loan (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Derivatives: At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). The Company entered into a derivative contract that is designated as a cash flow hedge. The gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any change in the fair value of the derivative that is not highly effective in hedging the change in expected cash flows of the hedged item would be recognized immediately in current earnings. Net cash settlements are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.
The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions, at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking the cash flow hedge to the specific liability on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Stock Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements. These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2005. The Company recognized interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.
The effect of stock options and stock awards is the sole common stock equivalent for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Treasury Stock: Treasury stock is carried at cost. Gains and losses on issuances are based on the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of issuance and are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Gains on issuances are credited to additional paid-in capital while losses are charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains from issuances are included therein, otherwise to retained earnings. Gains or losses on the issuances of treasury stock are not credited or charged to income.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank is required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.
Dividend Restrictions: Bank regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the holding company or by the holding company to the shareholders.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While the chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards:
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance that delayed the effective date of this fair value guidance for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.
In April 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities and requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet either of the above criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and 2) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Additionally, disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities were expanded. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that emphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement does not change even when market activity for the asset or liability has decreased significantly. Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When observable transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, then little, if any, weight should be assigned to the indication of the asset or liability’s fair value. Adjustments to those transactions or prices should be applied to determine the appropriate fair value. The guidance, which was applied prospectively, was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In June 2009, the FASB replaced The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (The Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting standards recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009.
In August 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities by clarifying that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent with existing fair value guidance. The amendments in this guidance clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining OTTI for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows. It is not the Bank’s policy to purchase securities rated below AA.
When OTTI occurs, for either debt securities or purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of $22,171 of available-for-sale securities, and $3,064 was in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s U.S. Agency, and State and political securities, as discussed below:
U.S. Agency Securities
All of the U.S. Agency securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality.
Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
State and Political Securities
All of the State and Political Securities (“Municipal Bonds”) held by the Company were issued by a city or other local government. The Municipal Bonds are general obligations of the issuer and are secured by specified revenues. The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the ratings of the underlying insurers rather than the ability or willingness of the municipality to repay.
Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2009, there were no credit losses recognized in earnings.

NOTE 7 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
On June 17, 2004, the Company participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Statutory Trust I (the "Trust I"), a wholly owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust I used the proceeds from the issuance of $4,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp. 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 263 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 4.06% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 2.88%.
On December 14, 2006, the Company participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Statutory Trust II (the "Trust II"), a wholly owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust II used the proceeds from the issuance of $3,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp. 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 173 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 7.08% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 1.98%.
On June 20, 2008, the Company participated in a private placement offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. 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 $7,550 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp. 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 375 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 6.55% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 4.00%. On July 7, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SunTrust Bank to mitigate interest rate risk exposure. Under the terms of the agreement, which relates to the subordinated debt issued to Jacksonville
NOTE 7 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III in the amount of $7,550, the Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 7.53% for a period of ten years in exchange for the original floating rate contract (90-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points).
The debt securities and the trust preferred securities under the three offerings each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred securities and the debt securities are callable by Bancorp or the respective trust, at their respective option after five years, and at varying premiums and sooner upon the occurrence of specific events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. In addition, the debt securities and trust preferred securities allow the deferral of interest payments for up to 5 years. 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 (see Note 12).
The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these Trusts (variable interest entities); therefore, the trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability.
There are no required principal payments on subordinated debentures over the next five years.
NOTE 8 - BENEFIT PLANS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Profit Sharing Plan: The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan which is available to all employees electing to participate after meeting certain length-of-service requirements. The plan allows contributions by employees up to 15% of their compensation, which are matched equal to 100% of the first 4.5% in 2009, and 6% in 2008 and 2007 of the compensation contributed. Expense for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $108, $174 and $148, respectively.
Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan: Following approval by the shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting, the Company established the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for nonemployee directors. Under this Plan, directors may elect to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as an alternative to the equivalent amounts of cash for directors’ fees. A total of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were made available for issuance, all of which remained available for issuance at December 31, 2009 and 2008, as all transactions executed to date were open market purchases. The Company’s expense in connection with this plan was $32, $83 and $176 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in director fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 11 - - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
On April 25, 2006, Bancorp’s shareholders approved the Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2006 Plan, up to 20,000 shares of Bancorp’s common stock were made available for issuance for awards in the form of incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance grants or stock appreciation rights. Any award that expires or is forfeited for any reason is returned to the 2006 Plan.
The 2006 Plan was a new plan and did not supersede the Company’s original Stock Option Plan, adopted by the Company’s shareholders on April 26, 2000, which continues to govern awards made under it. Under the Company’s original Stock Option Plan, options to buy stock are granted to directors, officers and employees. There are no options available to be issued under the original Stock Option Plan.
On April 29, 2008, the shareholders approved a 2008 Amendment and Restatement of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. Under this amendment and restatement, there is reserved for issuance under the plan an aggregate of 70,000 shares of Bancorp common stock. No more than 15,000 shares may be allocated to incentive awards, including the maximum shares payable under a performance grant, that are granted during any single taxable year to any individual participant who is an employee of Bancorp or any subsidiary of Bancorp.
Stock options are granted under both stock option plans with an exercise price equal to or greater than the stock fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options granted have ten-year lives, generally containing vesting terms of three to five years. Certain grants have been made that vest immediately. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are newly-issued shares.
NOTE 11 - - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes option-pricing model) that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
Total share-based compensation costs that have been charged against income for those plans were $63, $110 and $147 for 2009, 2008 and 2007.
The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.43 | % | | | N/A | | | | 4.53 | % |

NOTE 12 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year end 2009 and 2008, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank and the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. Management and the Board of Directors have committed to maintain Total Risk-Based Capital at 10% and Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets at 8% at the Bank and the Company.
Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year end.

NOTE 12 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Bancorp’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and restrict the payment of dividends by the Bank to Bancorp or by Bancorp to shareholders. Specifically, a Florida state-chartered commercial bank may not pay cash dividends that would cause its capital to fall below the minimum amount required by federal or state law. Accordingly, commercial banks may only pay dividends out of the total of current net profits plus retained net profits of the preceding two years to the extent it deems expedient, except that no bank may pay a dividend at any time that the total of net income for the current year when combined with retained net income from the preceding two years produces a loss. The future ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Bancorp also depends in part on the FDIC capital requirements in effect and the Company's ability to comply with such requirements.
NOTE 13 - DERIVATIVES
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.
Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: The Company is hedging the notional amount of $7,550 Statutory Trust III as of December 31, 2009. The hedge was designated as a cash flow hedge and was determined to be fully effective during all periods presented. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swap is recorded in other assets with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.
Summary information about the interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2009 is as follows:
Notional amounts | | $ | 7,550 | |
Fixed rate | | 7.53% per annum | |
Unrealized gains (losses) | | $ | 10 | |
Interest expense recorded on this swap transaction totaled $125 during 2009 and is reported as a component of interest expense.

NOTE 14 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amount of variable and fixed rate financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year end:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | Fixed Rates | | | Variable Rates | | | Fixed Rates | | | Variable Rates | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Unused lines of credit | | $ | 1,431 | | | $ | 24,071 | | | $ | 5,026 | | | $ | 30,038 | |
Standby letters of credit | | | — | | | | 560 | | | | — | | | | 543 | |
NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.
Derivatives: The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE (Continued)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Impaired loans and other real estate owned, which are measured for impairment using discounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $2,341, with a valuation allowance of $264. Additional impaired loans, not measured using levels of inputs to measure fair value, had a carrying amount of $4,036. Collateral dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned, valued under Level 3, were measured using current appraised values along with information on recent market transactions as well as management’s assumptions about the criteria that market participants would use in pricing the assets.
Other real estate owned, which is measured using the collateral values, had a net carrying amount of $4,011, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $4,041, net of a valuation allowance of $30 at December 31, 2009, resulting in a write-down of $30 for the year ending December 31, 2009.
The carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments, at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value, are described as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For loans, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life adjusted for the allowance for loan losses. For fixed rate deposits and variable rate deposits with infrequent repricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. Fair value of debt, including FHLB advances, is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine fair value of FHLB stock and other nonmarketable equity securities due to restrictions placed on transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is considered nominal.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009 performed within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Such internal controls over financial reporting were designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based upon the evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls
The Company has made no significant changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
(d) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
