NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

NOTE 1: Nature of Operations and basis of presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Parent Company,” “Company” or “CSFL”), and our wholly owned subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. and our non bank subsidiary, R4ALL, Inc. Our subsidiary bank operates through 55 full service banking locations in 18 counties throughout Central Florida, providing traditional deposit and lending products and services to their commercial and retail customers. R4ALL, Inc. is a separate non bank subsidiary of CSFL. Its purpose is to purchase troubled loans from our subsidiary bank and manage their eventual disposition.

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations of the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any future period.

NOTE 2: Common stock outstanding and earnings per share data

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the further dilution from stock options using the treasury method. There were 0 and 1,163,804 stock options that were anti dilutive at September 30, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented.

NOTE 3: Fair value

Generally accepted accounting principles establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans with specific valuation allowance for loan losses and other real estate owned is based on recent real estate appraisals less estimated costs of sale. For residential real estate impaired loans and other real estate owned, appraised values are based on the comparative sales approach. For commercial and commercial real estate impaired loans and other real estate owned, appraisers may use either a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches such as comparative sales, cost or the income approach. A significant unobservable input in the income approach is the estimated income capitalization rate for a given piece of collateral. At September 30, 2012, the range of capitalization rates utilized to determine the fair value of the underlying collateral ranged from 8% to 11%. Adjustments to comparable sales may be made by the appraiser to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors and may result in changes in the fair value of a given asset over time. As such, the fair value of impaired loans and other real estate owned are considered a Level III in the fair value hierarchy.

included in Prepaid and Other Assets category in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet during the current and prior quarter of the current year. The real estate was transferred at the lower of amortized cost or 90% of the real estate listing price. Total impairment charge recognized during the current quarter was $449 and $165 during the prior quarter, and was included in Other Expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accrued Interest Receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value and is classified as Level 3.

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

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

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

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

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

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

The following table presents the carry amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments:

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

In this current real estate environment it has become more common to restructure or modify the terms of certain loans under certain conditions (i.e. troubled debt restructure or “TDRs”). In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in an unfavorable real estate market. When we have modified the terms of a loan, we usually either reduce the monthly payment and/or interest rate for generally about twelve months. We have not forgiven any material principal amounts on any loan modifications to date. We have approximately $15,428 of TDRs. Of this amount $7,699 are performing pursuant to their modified terms, and $7,729 are not performing and have been placed on non accrual status and included in our non performing loans (“NPLs”).

TDRs as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 quantified by loan type classified separately as accrual (performing loans) and non-accrual (non performing loans) are presented in the tables below.

Our policy is to return non accrual TDR loans to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due, pursuant to its modified terms, are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Our policy also considers the payment history of the borrower, but is not dependent upon a specific number of payments. The Company recorded a provision for loan loss expense of $926 and $1,217 and partial charge offs of $558 and $1,100 on the TDR loans described above during the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2012, respectively.

Loans are modified to minimize loan losses when we believe the modification will improve the borrower’s financial condition and ability to repay the loan. We typically do not forgive principal. We generally either reduce interest rates or decrease monthly payments for a temporary period of time and those reductions of cash flows are capitalized into the loan balance. A summary of the types of concessions made are presented in the table below.

	Sept 30, 2012		Dec 31, 2011
3 to 9 months interest only	$	1,370	$	1,547
12 to 18 months interest only		2,715		3,660
payment reduction for 12 months		1,924		2,527
2 to 5 year balloon with 20 to 30 year amortization		4,379		224
30 year amortization		1,606		1,096
all other		3,434		3,307
Total TDRs	$	15,428	$	12,361

While we do not have long-term experience with these types of activities, approximately 50% of our TDRs are current pursuant to their modified terms, and about $7,729, or approximately 50% of our total TDRs are not performing pursuant to their modified terms. Long-term success with our performing TDRs is an unknown, and will depend to a great extent on the future of our economy and our local real estate markets. Thus far, there does not appear to be any significant difference in success rates with one type of concession versus another. Non performing TDRs average approximately 22 months in age from their modification date through September 30, 2012. Performing TDRs average approximately 21 months in age from their modification date through September 30, 2012.

The following table presents loans by class modified for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the period ending September 30, 2012.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $500 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

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

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

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

Loans purchased from the FDIC:

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

The table below summarizes the total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the loans as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Contractually required principal and interest payments have been adjusted for estimated prepayments.

	Sept 30, 2012			Dec 31, 2011
Contractually required principal and interest	$	576,494		$	291,531

We adjusted our estimates of future expected losses, cash flows and renewal assumptions during the current quarter. These adjustments resulted in an increase in expected cash flows and accretable yield, and a decrease in the non-accretable difference. We reclassified approximately $11,208 and $15,608 from non-accretable difference to accretable yield during the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, respectively, to reflect our adjusted estimates of future expected cash flows. The table below summarizes the changes in total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and carrying value of the loans during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 7: FDIC indemnification asset

The FDIC Indemnification Asset represents the estimated amounts due from the FDIC pursuant to the Loss Share Agreements related to the acquisition of the three failed banks acquired in 2010 and the acquisition of two failed banks in 2012. The activity in the FDIC loss share indemnification asset is as follows:

Impairment of loan pool		1,571			250
End of the period	$	130,014		$	53,820

Impairment of loan pools

Loan pools covered by FDIC loss share agreements were impaired by $1,963 which was an expense included in our loan loss provision expense. The 80% FDIC reimbursable amount of this expense ($1,571) was included in the Company’s non interest income and as an increase in the Company’s FDIC indemnification asset.

Indemnification revenue

Indemnification Revenue represents approximately 80% of the cost incurred pursuant to the repossession process and losses incurred on the sale of OREO, or writedown of OREO values to current fair value. These costs are reimbursable from the FDIC.

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

Discount accretion

If expected cash flows from loan pools are greater than previously expected, the accretable yield increases and is accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the related loan pools. The increase in future accretable income may result in less reimbursements from the FDIC (i.e. if the expected losses decrease, then the expected reimbursements from the FDIC decrease). The expected decrease in FDIC reimbursements is amortized over the period of the related increase in accretable yield from the related loan pools.

NOTE 8: Note payable

On January 25, 2012 the Company borrowed $10,000 on a short term basis at the holding company level to help facilitate the acquisition from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of Central Florida State Bank (“Central FL”) and First Guaranty Bank & Trust (“FGB”) during January 2012 by our subsidiary bank. The Company invested those funds in its subsidiary bank such that the bank would have sufficient capital to support the initial balance sheets of the two acquired banks. Subsequent to the acquisitions, we exercised our option to reprice approximately $127,856 of internet time deposits assumed pursuant to the acquisition of FGB to current market interest rates. Subsequently, all of these deposits were withdrawn prior to maturity without penalty. By shrinking the balance sheet of its subsidiary bank, it freed up excess capital at the bank which returned the funds to the holding company in the form of a dividend on July 2, 2012. The holding company then used these funds to immediately repay the note. The interest rate on the note was 90 day LIBOR plus 400 bps.

NOTE 9: Business combinations

The Company, through its subsidiary bank, purchased two failed financial institutions from the FDIC. On January 20, 2012 it purchased Central FL in Belleview, Florida. On January 27, it purchased FGB in Jacksonville, Florida. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company expects to further solidify its market share in the Florida market, expand its customer base to enhance deposit fee income, and reduce operating costs through economies of scale.

The Company exercised its option, pursuant to the FDIC purchase and assumption agreement, not to purchase Central FL’s branch real estate. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company consolidated three of the four Central FL branches into nearby existing CenterState branches. The fourth branch has been consolidated into a nearby CenterState existing branch during July 2012.

The Company also exercised its option, pursuant to the FDIC purchase and assumption agreement, and did not purchase six of the eight branch real estate locations of FGB. It has purchased two of the offices and consolidated the remaining six branches into the remaining two existing branches, which have approximately 75% of FGB’s deposits as of the acquisition date, during the second quarter. The two office locations were purchased at current market value based on current appraisals.

The Company entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC that collectively cover legal unpaid balances of substantially all the loans acquired (except those loans identified above as not covered by FDIC loss share) and all the OREO acquired (collectively, the “Covered Assets”). Pursuant to the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse the Company for losses with respect to Covered Assets begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. The FDIC will reimburse the Company for 80% of losses with respect to the Covered Assets. The Company will reimburse the FDIC for its share of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid the Company a reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements. The loss share agreements applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provide for FDIC loss sharing and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries for ten years. The loss share agreements applicable to commercial loans and other Covered Assets provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for a total of eight years for recoveries.

The acquisitions were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805,Business Combinations. Both the purchased assets and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair values of assets and liabilities, especially the loan portfolio and foreclosed real estate, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. Fair

(in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values become available for loans, OREO and indemnification asset due to pending real estate appraisals.

All of the loans acquired are being accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. We arrived at this conclusion as follows.

First, we segregated all acquired loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factor(s). The factors we used were all acquired loans that were non-accrual, 60 days or more past due, designated as Trouble Debt Restructured (“TDR”), graded “special mention” or “substandard,” had more than five 30 day past due notices or had any 60 day or 90 day past due notices during the loan term. For this disclosure purpose, we refer to these loans as Type A loans. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we are accounting for these loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. Second, all remaining acquired loans, those without specifically identified credit deficiency factors, we refer to as Type B loans for disclosure purposes, were then grouped into pools with common risk characteristics. These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Although no specific credit deficiencies were identifiable, we believe there is an element of risk as to whether all contractual cash flows will be eventually received. Factors that were considered included the poor economic environment both nationally and locally as well as the unfavorable real estate market particularly in Florida. In addition, these loans were acquired from two failed financial institutions, which implies potentially deficient, or at least questionable, credit underwriting. Based on management’s estimate of fair value, each of these pools was assigned a discount credit mark. We have applied ASC Topic 310-30 accounting treatment by analogy to Type B loans. The result is that all loans acquired from these two failed financial institutions will be accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30.

The table below summarizes the total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and fair value of the loans as of the respective acquisition dates. Contractually required principal and interest payments have been adjusted for estimated prepayments.

	at acquisition dates
	Type A loans			Type B loans			Total
Contractually required principal and interest	$	118,393		$	244,737		$	363,130
Non-accretable difference		(68,097	)		(57,533	)		(125,630	)
Cash flows expected to be collected		50,296			187,204			237,500
Accretable yield		(2,418	)		(30,557	)		(32,975	)
Total acquired loans	$	47,878		$	156,647		$	204,525

Type A loans: acquired loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factor(s).

Type B loans: all other acquired loans.

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

The operating results of the Company for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities since the acquisition date of January 20, 2012 for Central FL and January 27, 2012 for FGB. Due primarily to the significant amount of fair value adjustments and the Loss Share Agreements now in place, historical results of Central FL and FGB are not believed to be relevant to the Company’s results, and thus no pro forma information is presented.

NOTE 10: Effect of new pronouncements

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this guidance are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The effect of adopting this new guidance was not material.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment has changed the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Company as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity, and the consolidated statement of earnings.

In September 2011, the FASB amended guidance on the annual goodwill impairment test performed by the Company. Under the amended guidance, the Company will have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a two-step impairment test. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required. If the Company believes the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the carrying value, no further testing is required. A company can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on some or none of its reporting entities. The amended guidance includes examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. These include macro-economic conditions such as deterioration in the entity’s operating environment, entity-specific events such as declining financial performance, and other events such as an expectation that a reporting unit will be sold. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The effect of adopting this new guidance was not material.

In September 2012 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) proposed amending guidance on the subsequent accounting for an indemnification asset recognized at the acquisition date as a result of a government assisted acquisition of a financial institution. The FASB amendment requires that a subsequent adjustment to the indemnification asset be measured on the same basis as the underlying indemnified assets. Any amortization of changes in value of the indemnification asset should be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets.

The amendments resulting from this amended guidance are expected to be issued in final form in the fourth quarter 2012 and effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of this amendment on the consolidated financial statements to be material.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All dollar amounts presented herein are in thousands, except per share data.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2011

Overview

Our total assets increased approximately 4.1% during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 primarily due to the acquisitions of Central Florida State Bank in Belleveiw, Florida (“Central FL”) and First Guaranty Bank and Trust Company of Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida (“FGB”) discussed in Note 9. These changes are discussed and analyzed below and on the following pages.

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits were $82,872 at September 30, 2012 (approximately 3.5% of total assets) as compared to $133,202 at December 31, 2011 (approximately 5.8% of total assets). We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans outstanding, and to some degree the amount of correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) outstanding.

Investment securities available for sale

Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. government sponsored entities and agency securities and municipal tax exempt securities, were $458,796 at September 30, 2012 (approximately 19% of total assets) compared to $591,164 at December 31, 2011 (approximately 26% of total assets), a decrease of $132,368 or 22%. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans outstanding as discussed above, under the caption “Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits.” Our securities are carried at fair value. We classify our securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates as well as future liquidity needs.

Trading securities

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

Loans held for sale

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

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Average loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, were $1,444,499, or 69% of average earning assets, as compared to $1,198,838, or 63% of average earning assets, for the similar period in 2011. Total loans at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $1,444,182 and $1,283,766, respectively, an increase of $160,416, or 12.5%. This represents a loan to total asset ratio of 60.7% and 56.2% and a loan to deposit ratio of 72.3% and 66.9%, at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Our total loans, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, increased by $14,724 during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, an annualized rate of 1.8%. The weak economy in general and the struggling Florida real estate market in particular, have made it difficult to grow our loan portfolio. However, we have seen improvement in our credit metrics over the past three quarters, and did have better loan growth in the second and third quarter. Loans decreased by $10,710 during the first quarter of the year and increased by $19,258 during the second quarter, and by $6,176 during the third quarter.

Total loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements increased by $145,692 during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012. This was due to the acquisitions of Central FL and FGB as described in Note 9.

Approximately 21.4% of our loans, or $309,743, is covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse CenterState for 80% of losses with respect to the covered loans beginning with the first dollar of loss incurred. CenterState will reimburse the FDIC for its share of recoveries with respect to the covered loans. The loss sharing agreements applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provide for FDIC loss sharing and CenterState reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries for ten years. The loss sharing agreements applicable to commercial loans provide for FDIC loss sharing for five years and CenterState reimbursement to the FDIC for a total of eight years for recoveries. All of the covered loans

38

acquired are accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. Within the FDIC covered loan portfolio, 52% are collateralized by single family residential real estate and 43% are collateralized by commercial real estate. The remainder is a mix of commercial non real estate loans and land, land development and construction loans.

Approximately 4.6% of the Company’s loans, or $65,937, are subject to a two year put back option, commencing January 20, 2011, with TD Bank, N.A., such that if any of these loans becomes 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, we have the option to put back the loan to TD Bank, N.A. Through September 30, 2012, we have put back loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $12,700, approximately 10% of the initial purchase. When the loans are put back to TD Bank, the Company is reimbursed 90% of the outstanding loan balance (i.e. the original discounted purchase price). The loans were recorded on the Company’s books at market value as of the acquisition date. The average fair value as of the acquisition date was approximately 98%. The difference between the reimbursed amount (90% of the loan’s outstanding balance) and the carrying value of the loan (approximately 98% of the outstanding balance) is recognized as a credit related expense and is included in credit related expenses in non-interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Approximately 9.7% of the Company’s loans, or $140,264, are subject to a one year put back option, commencing November 1, 2011, with The Hartford Insurance Group (“Hartford”), such that if any of these loans becomes 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, we have the option to put back the loan to Hartford. Through September 30, 2012, we have put back loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $7,900, approximately 5% of the initial purchase. When the loans are put back to Hartford, we are reimbursed 73% of the outstanding loan balance (i.e. the original discounted purchase price). The loans were recorded on our books at market value as of the acquisition date, approximately 98%. At the acquisition date, we estimated that the loan put back amount could approximate $6,000 and made the appropriate provision. The difference between the reimbursed amount (73% of the loan’s outstanding balance) and the carrying value of the loan (approximately 98% of the outstanding balance), first reduces the provision for estimated put backs, then the excess is recognized as a credit related expense and is included in credit related expenses in non-interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Approximately 64.3% of the Company’s loans, or $928,238, is not covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements or subject to a put back option with TD Bank, N.A. or Hartford.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist where there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities, which collectively could be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions and when the total of such amounts would exceed 25% of total capital. Due to the lack of diversified industry and the relative proximity of markets served, the Company has concentrations in geographic as well as in types of loans funded.

Our total loans, including those with and without loss protection agreements, total $1,444,182 at September 30, 2012. Of this amount approximately 87% are collateralized by real estate, 9% are commercial non real estate loans and the remaining 4% are consumer and other non real estate loans. We have approximately $589,965 of single family residential loans which represents about 41% of our total loan portfolio. Our largest category of loans is commercial real estate which represents approximately 42% of our total loan portfolio.

Note 1: Consumer loans acquired pursuant to three FDIC assisted transactions of failed financial institutions during the third quarter of 2010 and two in the first quarter of 2012. These loans are not covered by an FDIC loss share agreement. The loans have been written down to estimated fair value and are being accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

Note 2: Includes $65,937 of loans that are subject to a two year put back option with TD Bank, N.A., such that if any of these loans become 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, the Company has the option to put back the loan to TD Bank. This put back period ends January 20, 2013. Also includes $140,264 of loans that are subject to a one year put back option with The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (“Hartford”), such that if any of these loans become 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, the Company has the option to put back the loan to Hartford. This put back period ends November 1, 2012.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

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

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

40

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

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

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses incurred in our non covered loan portfolio. The FDIC is obligated to reimburse us for 80% of losses incurred in our covered loan portfolio subject to the terms of our loss share agreements with the FDIC. Our covered loan portfolio, loans purchased from the FDIC with specific identified credit deficiencies and those with implied credit deficiencies, has been marked to fair value at the acquisition date, which considers an estimate of probable losses, and is evaluated for impairment on a pool basis on a quarterly basis, pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

Performing loans purchased pursuant to the January 20, 2011 TD Bank transaction, are performing loans without any specific or implied credit deficiencies. These loans are included in our allowance for loan loss analysis, but do not have any loss factor assigned to them since they are at fair value at the acquisition date and due to the two year put back option in place with TD Bank, as described in Note 8 in our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2011, filed on May 10, 2011.

Performing loans purchased pursuant to the November 1, 2011 acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation (“FTC”), are performing loans without any specific or implied credit deficiencies. These loans are included in our allowance for loan loss analysis, but do not have any loss factor assigned to them since they are at fair value at the acquisition date and due to the one year put back option in place with The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (“Hartford”), as described in Note 26 in our Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2011, filed on March 13, 2012.

We expect to provide an allowance for loan losses for the FTC purchased loans and for the TD Bank purchased loans, however, because these were selected performing loans and because we have the option to put back any loan that becomes 30 days past due or is adversely classified, the initial allowance for loan losses related to these two groups of loans are not expected to be material.

The allowance consists of three components. The first component is an allocation for impaired loans, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Impaired loans are those loans whereby management has arrived at a determination that the Company will not be repaid according to the original terms of the loan agreement. Each of these loans is required to have a written analysis supporting the amount of specific allowance allocated to the particular loan, if any. That is to say, a loan may be impaired (i.e., not expected to be repaid as agreed), but may be sufficiently collateralized such that we expect to recover all principal and interest eventually, and therefore no specific allowance is warranted.

The second component is a general allowance on all of the Company’s loans other than those identified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent two years. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are residential loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and land development loans, commercial and industrial and consumer and other. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio

41

segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

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

In the table below we have shown the components, as discussed above, of our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Note 1: Performing loans purchased from TD Bank subject to a two year put back option commencing on January 20, 2011, such that if any of these loans become 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, the Company has the option to put back the loans to TD Bank.

Note 2: Performing loans purchased from Hartford’s then wholly owned bank, FTC, subject to a one year put back option commencing on November 1, 2011, such that if any of these loans become 30 days past due or are adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines, the Company has the option to put back the loans to Hartford.

Note 3: Total loans not covered by FDIC loss share agreements.

Note 4: Loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements. Eighty percent of any losses in this portfolio will be reimbursed by the FDIC and recognized as FDIC Indemnification income and included in non-interest income within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The general loan loss allowance (non-impaired loans) decreased by $1,211, or 35 bps to 2.61% of the non-impaired loan balance outstanding as of the end of the current period as compared to 2.96% at December 31, 2011. This is a result of changes in historical charge off rates, changes in environmental factors and changes in the loan portfolio mix. All of our significant credit metrics have been improving over the past three quarters, with the exception of a small increase in 30-89 day past due loans increasing from 0.61% to 0.87% during the current quarter. However, there was one large loan that was considered past due because it matured. This loan has subsequently been repaid. Also, two large loans which were

42

past due 30 days are now current. Excluding these three loans, our 30-89 day past due loan ratio is approximately the same as the prior quarter. We expect the general loan loss allowance as a percentage of non-impaired loans, as presented above, to continue to decrease. However, we expect to establish a general loan loss allowance on the FTC purchased loans, once the put back option terminates in the fourth quarter of 2012, and on the TD purchased loans, once that put back option terminates in the first quarter of 2013. Currently, there is no general loan loss allowance associated with the performing loans purchased from TD Bank and for the FTC performing loans purchased from Hartford for the reasons described in notes 1 and 2 above.

The specific loan loss allowance (impaired loans) is the aggregate of the results of individual analyses prepared for each one of the impaired loans not covered by an FDIC loss sharing agreement on a loan by loan basis. We recorded partial charge offs in lieu of specific allowance for a number of the impaired loans. The Company’s impaired loans have been written down by $5,533 to $44,811 ($43,862 when the $949 specific allowance is considered) from their legal unpaid principal balance outstanding of $50,344. As such, in the aggregate, our total impaired loans have been written down to approximately 87% of their legal unpaid principal balance.

Any losses in loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, as described in note 3 above, are reimbursable from the FDIC to the extent of 80% of any losses. These loans are being accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. On a quarterly basis, the Company updates the amount of loan principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected loan principal cash flows trigger the recognition of impairment, which is then measured as the present value of the expected principal loss plus any related foregone interest cash flows discounted at the pool’s effective interest rate. Impairments that occur after the acquisition date are recognized through the provision for loan losses.

The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings and decreased by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely. We believe our allowance for loan losses was adequate at September 30, 2012. However, we recognize that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the Company’s market and customers, and therefore there is no assurance as to the amount of losses or probable losses which may develop in the future. The tables below summarize the changes in allowance for loan losses during the periods presented.

We acquired two FDIC failed financial institutions during the first quarter of 2012 and three during the third quarter of 2010, including loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements. All of the loans acquired are being accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. We arrived at this conclusion as follows.

First, we segregated all acquired loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factor(s). The factors we used were all acquired loans that were non-accrual, 60 days or more past due, designated as Trouble Debt Restructured (“TDR”), graded “special mention” or “substandard,” had more than five 30 day past due notices or had any 60 day or 90 day past due notices during the loan term. For this disclosure purpose, we refer to these loans as Type A loans. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we are accounting for these loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

44

Second, all remaining acquired loans, those without specifically identified credit deficiency factors, we refer to as Type B loans for disclosure purposes, were then grouped into pools with common risk characteristics. These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Although no specific credit deficiencies were identifiable, we believe there is an element of risk as to whether all contractual cash flows will be eventually received. Factors that were considered included the challenging economic environment both nationally and locally as well as the unfavorable real estate market particularly in Florida, at the time of acquisition. In addition, these loans were acquired from three failed financial institutions, which implies potentially deficient, or at least questionable, credit underwriting. Based on management’s estimate of fair value, each of these pools was assigned a discount credit mark. We have applied ASC Topic 310-30 accounting treatment by analogy to Type B loans. The result is that all loans acquired from these failed financial institutions will be accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30.

Income on acquired loans, whether Type As or Type Bs, is recognized in the same manner pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. A portion of the fair value discount has been ascribed as an accretable yield that is accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The remaining non-accretable difference represents cash flows not expected to be collected. We accreted approximately $6,208 and $17,955 into interest income during the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, respectively, from these purchased loans.

Each quarter, management reevaluates expected future losses and expected future cash flows compared to previously estimated expected losses and cash flows. To the extent revised expected cash flows are higher than previously expected cash flows, the estimated difference is reclassified from non-accretable difference to accretable yield, and future yield accretion will increase over the remaining life of the loans in the related pool. To the extent the related FDIC loss share agreement has not yet terminated, approximately 80% of the increase in future expected cash flows is accreted (negative accretion) over the remaining term of the related FDIC indemnification period in non-interest income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. The net negative accretion for the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 was $705 and $1,491, respectively.

To the extent future expected cash flows are determined to be less than previously estimated future expected cash flows, then that particular pool is impaired. When a pool is deemed to be impaired the estimated loss is recognized in the current period and included in our loan loss provision expense. Approximately 80% of the impairment expense is recognized as non-interest income in the current period and included in FDIC indemnification income in non-interest income in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive income. Impairment expense for the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 was $773 and $1,963, respectively.

Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets

Non performing loans, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, are defined as non accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Generally we place loans on non accrual status when they are past due 90 days and management believes the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When we place a loan on non accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are

45

returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Non performing loans, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, as a percentage of total loans, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, were 2.54% at September 30, 2012, compared to 3.48% at December 31, 2011.

Non performing assets, excluding assets covered by FDIC loss share agreements, (which we define as non performing loans, as defined above, plus (a) OREO (i.e., real estate acquired through foreclosure, in substance foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (b) other repossessed assets that are not real estate), were $35,633 at September 30, 2012, compared to $49,309 at December 31, 2011. Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.50% at September 30, 2012, compared to 2.16% at December 31, 2011.

The following table sets forth information regarding the components of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. All loans, OREO and other repossessed assets covered by FDIC loss share agreements are excluded.

	Sept 30, 2012			Dec 31, 2011
Non-accrual loans	$	28,658		$	38,858
Past due loans 90 days or more and still accruing interest		121			120
Total non-performing loans (NPLs)		28,779			38,978
Other real estate owned (OREO)		5,858			8,712
Repossessed assets other than real estate		996			1,619
Total non-performing assets (NPAs)	$	35,633		$	49,309
Total NPLs as a percentage of total loans		2.54	%		3.48	%
Total NPAs as a percentage of total assets		1.50	%		2.16	%
Loans past due between 30 and 89 days and accruing interest as a percentage of total loans		0.87	%		1.45	%
Allowance for loan losses	$	24,019		$	27,585
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of NPLs		83	%		71	%

As shown in the table above, the largest component of non performing loans excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements is non accrual loans. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had reported a total of 210 non accrual loans with an aggregate book value of $28,658, compared to December 31, 2011 when 221 non accrual loans with an aggregate book value of $38,858 were reported. Most of the $10,200 decrease came from the land, development and construction loan category. The other categories remained approximately the same or slight decreases except for commercial real estate which increased by approximately $466. This amount is further delineated by collateral category and number of loans in the table below.

collateral category (unaudited)	carrying balance		percentage of total non accrual Loans			number of non accrual loans in category
Residential real estate loans	$	11,964		42	%		96
Commercial real estate loans		12,103		42	%		39
Land, development, construction loans		2,726		10	%		29
Non real estate commercial loans		1,536		5	%		26
Non real estate consumer and other loans		329		1	%		20
Total non accrual loans at Sept 30, 2012	$	28,658		100	%		210

The second largest component of non performing assets after non accrual loans is OREO, excluding OREO covered by FDIC loss share agreements. At September 30, 2012, total OREO was

46

$31,825. Of this amount, $25,967 is covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse the Company for 80% of losses with respect to the covered OREO beginning with the first dollar of loss incurred. The Company will reimburse the FDIC for its share of recoveries with respect to the covered OREO. The loss sharing agreements applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provide for FDIC loss sharing and the Company reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries for ten years. The loss sharing agreements applicable to commercial loans provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for a total of eight years for recoveries.

OREO not covered by FDIC loss share agreements is $5,858 at September 30, 2012. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or market less the estimated cost to sell. Further declines in real estate values can affect the market value of these assets. Any further decline in market value beyond its cost basis is recorded as a current expense in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. OREO is further delineated in the table below.

(unaudited) description of repossessed real estate	carrying amount at Sept 30, 2012
7 single family homes	$	371
1 mobile homes with land		126
33 residential building lots		1,109
12 commercial buildings		1,515
Land / various acreages		2,737
Total, excluding OREO covered by FDIC loss share agreements	$	5,858

Impaired loans are defined as loans that management has concluded will not repay as agreed upon pursuant to the terms of the original loan agreements. (Small balance homogeneous loans are not considered for impairment purposes.) Once management has determined a loan is impaired, we perform a specific reserve analysis to determine if it is probable that we will eventually collect all contractual cash flows. If management determines that a shortfall is probable, then a specific valuation allowance is placed against the loan. This loan is then placed on non accrual basis, even if the borrower is current with his/her contractual payments, and will remain on non accrual until payments collected reduce the loan balance such that it eliminates the specific valuation allowance or equivalent partial charge-down or other economic conditions change. At September 30, 2012 we have identified a total of $44,811 impaired loans, excluding loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements. A specific valuation allowance of $949 has been attached to $9,608 of the total identified impaired loans. It should also be noted that the total carrying balance of the impaired loans, or $44,811, has been partially charged down by $5,533 from their aggregate legal unpaid balance of $50,344. The table below summarizes impaired loan data for the periods presented.

	Sept 30, 2012		Dec 31, 2011
Impaired loans with a specific valuation allowance	$	9,608	$	13,203

We continually analyze our loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. As of September 30, 2012, we believe the allowance for loan losses was adequate. However, we recognize that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the market. Accordingly, there is no assurance that losses in excess of such allowance will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $97,749 at September 30, 2012 compared to $94,358 at December 31, 2011, an increase of $3,391 or 4%. This amount is the result of purchases, net of dispositions, and construction in process of $11,944 less $4,148 of depreciation expense, $804 carrying value of excess land sold, and $3,601 carrying value transfer of bank properties to held-for-sale. The bank properties were transferred at $2,987, the net realizable value, resulting in an impairment expense of $614. The $11,944 of purchases and construction cost, net of disposals, was primarily the result of: the construction of two new branches, one of which was a permanent replacement for a previously leased temporary location; purchase of two office locations from the FDIC in Jacksonville; remodel and reconfigure construction cost; and, acquisition of additional furniture, fixtures and equipment relating to our acquisitions of Central FL and FGB, as well as the two newly constructed offices referred to above, and normal replacements and upgrading of existing equipment, furniture and software.

Deposits

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, total deposits increased by $78,060 (time deposits decreased by $78,881 and non time deposits increased by $156,941) primarily due to the two FDIC assisted transactions during the first quarter of 2012. A summary of our deposit mix is presented in the table below.

	Sept 30, 2012		% of total			Dec 31, 2011		% of total
Demand - non-interest bearing	$	504,528		25	%	$	423,128		22	%

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase

Our subsidiary bank enters into borrowing arrangements with our retail business customers by agreements to repurchase (“securities sold under agreements to repurchase”) under which the bank pledges investment securities owned and under its control as collateral against the one-day borrowing arrangement. These short-term borrowings totaled $21,041 at September 30, 2012 compared to $14,652 at December 31, 2011.

Federal funds purchased

Federal funds purchased are overnight deposits from correspondent banks. At September 30, 2012 we had $46,574 of correspondent bank deposits or federal funds purchased, compared to $54,624 at December 31, 2011.

Corporate debentures

We formed CenterState Banks of Florida Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 22, 2003, we issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the

48

amount of $10,000. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of a trust preferred security to acquire the corporate debenture of the Company. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by the Company or the Trust, at their respective option, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. The Company has treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

In September 2004, Valrico Bancorp Inc. (“VBI”) formed Valrico Capital Statutory Trust (“Valrico Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 9, 2004, VBI issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the amount of $2,500. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of a trust preferred security to acquire the corporate debenture. On April 2, 2007, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of VBI pursuant to the merger agreement, including VBI’s corporate debenture and related trust preferred security discussed above. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 270 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by the Company or the Valrico Trust, at their respective option, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve, if then required. The Company has treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

In November 2011, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Federal Trust Corporation (“FTC”) from The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“Hartford”) pursuant to an acquisition agreement, including FTC’s corporate debenture and related trust preferred security issued through FTC’s finance subsidiary Federal Trust Statutory Trust (“FTC Trust”) in the amount of $5,000. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 295 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives maturing in 2033. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by the Company or the Trust, at their respective option, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. The Company has treated the corporate debenture as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability.

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2012, was $273,844, or 11.5% of total assets, compared to $262,633, or 11.5% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to the following items:

$	262,633		Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011
	7,664		Net income during the period
	(902	)	Dividends paid on common shares, $0.03 per common share
	3,923		Net increase in market value of securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes
	526		Employee equity based compensation

The federal bank regulatory agencies have established risk-based capital requirements for banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a bank’s capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset categories. Banks are also required to systematically maintain capital against such “off- balance sheet” activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity and restricting the amount of loan loss reserves and other forms of equity such as preferred stock that may be included in capital. As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A., exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “well capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

Selected consolidated capital ratios at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for the Company and for the Company’s subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. are presented in the tables below.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

Overview

We recognized net income of $2,695 or $0.09 per share basic and diluted for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $1,992 or $0.07 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2011.

The primary differences between the two periods included the following:

• increase in net interest income due to the acquisition of two failed financial institutions from the FDIC during the first quarter of 2012 and from the acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation (“FTC”) and its subsidiary bank, Federal Trust Bank (“FTB”) on November 1, 2011; these acquisitions were also a primary contributing factor causing the increase in operating expenses;

• our loan loss provision expense is significantly less this quarter than the same quarter last year which is reflective of our improved credit metrics and other improvements in our real estate market and economy; and,

• commission revenue from bond sales at our correspondent banking segment was higher in the current quarter compared to the similar quarter last year.

Each of the above referenced income and expense categories, along with other items are discussed and analyzed in greater detail below.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $4,823 or 28% to $21,779 during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $16,956 for the same period in 2011. The $4,823 increase was the result of a $3,883 increase in interest income and a $940 decrease in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $2,028,411 during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1,857,078 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $171,333, or 9%. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 41bps to 4.65% (42bps to 4.72% tax equivalent basis) during the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 4.24% (4.30% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2011. The combined effects of the $171,333 increase in average interest earning assets and the 41bps (42bps tax equivalent basis) increase in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $3,883 ($3,914 tax equivalent basis) increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $1,620,587 during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1,451,731 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $168,856, or 12%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 31bps to 0.48% during the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 0.79% for the same period in 2011. The combined effects of the $168,856 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 31bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $940 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $2,580, or 52%, to $2,425 during the three month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to $5,005 for the comparable period in 2011. Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to

52

current period earnings, and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs. Therefore, the provision for loan losses (Income Statement effect) is a residual of management’s determination of allowance for loan losses (Balance Sheet approach). In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider the conditions of individual borrowers, the historical loan loss experience, the general economic environment, the overall portfolio composition, and other information. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. See “Credit quality and allowance for loan losses” for additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $16,301 compared to $12,245 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below.

Three month period ending:	Sept 30, 2012			Sept 30, 2011			$ increase (decrease)			% increase (decrease)
Income from correspondent banking and bond sales division	$	8,606		$	7,999		$	607			7.6	%
Other correspondent banking related fees		590			445			145			32.6	%
Wealth management related fees		683			557			126			22.6	%
Trust income		317			—			317			n/a
Trading securities revenue		257			130			127			97.7	%
Service charges on deposit accounts		1,695			1,629			66			4.1	%
Debit card and ATM fees		1,012			713			299			41.9	%
Loan related fees		116			199			(83	)		(41.7	%)
BOLI income		360			227			133			58.6	%
Other service charges and fees		496			110			386			350.9	%
Gain on sale of securities available for sale		675			205			470			229.3	%
FDIC indemnification asset- accretion of discount rate		(705	)		(225	)		(480	)		213.3	%
FDIC OREO indemnification income		1,580			241			1,339			555.5	%
FDIC pool impairment indemnification income		619			15			604			4,026.7	%
Total non-interest income	$	16,301		$	12,245		$	4,056			33.1	%

The FDIC indemnification asset (“IA”) discount is producing amortization (versus accretion) due to adjustments to the estimated losses in the FDIC covered loan portfolio. That is, to the extent current adjusted projected future losses in the covered loan portfolio are less than originally projected losses, the related projected reimbursements from the FDIC contemplated in the IA is less, which produces a negative income accretion in non-interest income. This event corresponds to the increase in yields in the FDIC covered loan portfolio. The net negative accretion is less in 3Q11 compared to 3Q12 because each quarter expected future cash flows on the related loan pools have improved, which means that expected reimbursements from the FDIC decreased. The decreases in expected future reimbursements from the FDIC are negatively accreted into non-interest income over the remaining loss share period. Loss share periods are ten years for single family residential loans and five years for commercial loans. Consumer loans are not covered by loss share arrangements.

When a FDIC covered OREO property is sold at a loss (i.e. difference between carrying value and proceeds received), the loss is included in non-interest expense as loss on sale of OREO, and approximately eighty percent of the loss is recorded as FDIC indemnification income and included in non-interest income. Eighty percent of any related FDIC loan pool impairments also are reflected in non-interest income.

We acquired a Trust department in our January 27, 2012 FDIC assisted acquisition of FGB, which is currently producing gross Trust revenue of approximately $300 per quarter. Income from

53

correspondent banking and bond sales division (i.e. commissions from bond sales) increased during the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year. The increase is due to volume which is reflective of the needs of the market as well as volatility in interest rates. Our bond customers are approximately 500 small and medium sized financial institutions primarily located in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Gain on sale of securities available for sale also increased during the current quarter compared to the same period last year. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management, investment yields and asset/liability management.

54

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $4,919, or 18.4%, to $31,706, compared to $26,787 for the same period in 2011. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below.

Excluding credit related expenses, correspondent banking division expenses, impairment of bank property held for sale and merger/acquisition related expenses, the Company’s remaining non-interest expenses increased approximately $3,565, or 22%, during the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year, as summarized in the table below.

	2012			2011			(decrease)
Total non-interest expense	$	31,706		$	26,787		$	4,919
Merger, acquisition and conversion expenses		(177	)		(579	)		402
Credit related expenses		(3,844	)		(2,966	)		(878	)
Correspondent banking division expenses		(7,235	)		(6,806	)		(429	)
Impairment – bank property held for sale		(449	)		—			(449	)
Non-interest expense, excluding items above	$	20,001		$	16,436		$	3,565

The increase in non-interest expenses, excluding items listed above, between the two periods presented above were primarily due to the January 20, 2012 acquisition of Central FL, the January 27, 2012 acquisition of FGB and the November 1, 2011 acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation and its subsidiary Federal Trust Bank.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

We recognized an income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $1,254 on pre-tax income of $3,949 (an effective tax rate of 31.8%) compared to an income tax benefit of $599 on pre-tax loss of $2,591 (an effective tax rate of 23.1%) for the comparable quarter in 2011. Quarterly effective tax rates could be volatile with wide swings in quarterly earnings/losses causing changes in periodic projected annual taxable income, which occurred during 2011. Currently, we expect an effective tax rate of approximately 30% for the year of 2012, which compares to the 2011 annual effective tax rate of 30.2%.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

Overview

We recognized net income of $7,664 or $0.25 per share basic and diluted for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $6,173 or $0.21 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2011.

The primary differences between the two periods included the following:

• increase in net interest income due to the acquisition of two failed financial institutions from the FDIC in January 2012 and from the acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation (“FTC”) and its subsidiary bank, Federal Trust Bank (“FTB”) on November 1, 2011; these acquisitions were also a primary contributing factor causing the increase in operating expenses;

• our loan loss provision expense is significantly less this period than the same period last year which was reflective of our improved credit metrics and other improvements in our real estate market and economy; and,

• commission revenue from bond sales at our correspondent banking segment was significantly higher during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the similar period last year;

• bargain purchase gain recognized in the first nine months of 2012 from the Central FL acquisition was $453, which was significantly less than the $11,129 bargain purchase gain recognized from the TD Bank transaction in January 2011.

Each of the above referenced income and expense categories, along with other items are discussed and analyzed in greater detail below.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $13,389 or 26% to $64,858 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to $51,469 for the same period in 2011. The $13,389 increase was the result of a $10,694 increase in interest income and a $2,695 decrease in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $2,079,845 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1,890,776 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $189,069, or 10%. The yield on average interest earning assets increased 29bps to 4.60% (29bps to 4.66% tax equivalent basis) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 4.31% (4.37% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2011. The combined effects of the $189,069 increase in average interest earning assets and the 29bps (29bps tax equivalent basis) increase in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $10,694 ($10,843 tax equivalent basis) increase in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $1,679,536 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1,502,030 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $177,506, or 12%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 30bps to 0.54% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 0.84% for the same period in 2011. The combined effects of the $177,506 increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 30bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $2,695 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $20,875, or 75%, to $7,051 during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 compared to $27,926 for the comparable period in 2011. Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings, and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs.

58

Therefore, the provision for loan losses (Income Statement effect) is a residual of management’s determination of allowance for loan losses (Balance Sheet approach). In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider the conditions of individual borrowers, the historical loan loss experience, the general economic environment, the overall portfolio composition, and other information. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. See “Credit quality and allowance for loan losses” for additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $46,586 compared to $46,369 for the comparable period in 2011. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below.

Nine month period ending:	Sept 30, 2012			Sept 30, 2011		$ increase (decrease)			% increase (decrease)
Income from correspondent banking and bond sales division	$	26,356		$	18,228	$	8,128			44.6	%
Other correspondent banking related fees		1,624			1,238		386			31.2	%
Wealth management related fees		1,974			1,318		656			49.8	%
Trust income		844			—		844			n/a
Trading securities revenue		534			397		137			34.5	%
Service charges on deposit accounts		4,773			4,602		171			3.7	%
Debit card and ATM fees		2,944			2,083		861			41.3	%
Loan related fees		401			670		(269	)		(40.2	%)
BOLI income		1,081			701		380			54.2	%
Other service charges and fees		1,098			496		602			121.4	%
Gain on sale of securities		2,003			3,334		(1,331	)		(39.9	%)
FDIC indemnification asset- accretion of discount rate		(1,491	)		196		(1,687	)		(860.7	%)
FDIC OREO indemnification income		2,421			1,727		694			40.2	%
FDIC pool impairment indemnification income		1,571			250		1,321			528.4	%
Subtotal		46,133			35,240		10,893			30.9	%
Bargain purchase gain		453			11,129		(10,676	)		(95.9	%)
Total non-interest income	$	46,586		$	46,369	$	217			0.5	%

The FDIC indemnification asset (“IA”) is producing amortization (versus accretion) due to adjustments to the estimated losses in the FDIC covered loan portfolio. That is, to the extent current adjusted projected losses in the covered loan portfolio are less than originally projected losses and therefore future loan accretion yields increase, the related projected reimbursements from the FDIC contemplated in the IA is less, which produces a negative income accretion in non-interest income. This event corresponds to the increase in yields in the FDIC covered loan portfolio.

When a FDIC covered OREO property is sold at a loss (i.e. difference between carrying value and proceeds received), the loss is included in non-interest expense as loss on sale of OREO, and approximately eighty percent of the loss is recorded as FDIC indemnification income and included in non-interest income. Eighty percent of any related FDIC loan pool impairments also are reflected in non-interest income.

We acquired a Trust department in our January 27, 2012 FDIC assisted acquisition of FGB, which is currently producing gross Trust revenue of approximately $300 per quarter. We also acquired approximately $8,000 of BOLI pursuant to the November 1, acquisition of Federal Trust Bank and purchased an additional $10,000 in January of 2012, resulting in higher BOLI income during the current period compared to the same period last year. Income from correspondent banking and bond sales division (i.e. commissions from bond sales) increased during the current period compared to the same period last year. The increase is due to volume which is reflective of the needs of the market as well as

59

volatility in interest rates. Our bond customers are approximately 500 small and medium sized financial institutions primarily located in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. These increases in non-interest income were partially offset by less gain on sales of securities available for sale during the current period compared to the same period last year. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management, investment yields and asset/liability management.

The $453 bargain purchase gain recognized during the current period related to the FDIC assisted transaction Central FL in Belleview, Florida in January 2012. The other January 2012 FDIC assisted transaction of FGB did not result in a bargain purchase gain. The $11,129 bargain purchase gain recognized in January 2011 related to the TD Bank transaction.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $13,485, or 16.9%, to $93,450, compared to $79,965 for the same period in 2011. Components of our non-interest expenses are listed in the table below.

Excluding credit related expenses, correspondent banking division expenses, impairment of bank property held for sale and merger/acquisition related expenses, the Company’s remaining non-interest expenses increased approximately $8,829, or 17%, during the current period compared to the same period last year, as summarized in the table below.

	9 months ending Sept 30,						increase
	2012			2011			(decrease)
Total non-interest expense	$	93,450		$	79,965		$	13,485

Impairment – bank property held for sale		(614	)		—			(614	)
Non-interest expense, excluding items above	$	60,445		$	51,616		$	8,829

The increase in non-interest expenses, excluding items listed above, between the two periods presented above were primarily due to the January 20, 2012 acquisition of Central FL, the January 27, 2012 acquisition of FGB and the November 1, 2011 acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation and its subsidiary Federal Trust Bank.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

We recognized an income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $3,279 on pre-tax income of $10,943 (an effective tax rate of 30.0%) compared to an income tax benefit of $3,880 on pre-tax loss of $10,053 (an effective tax rate of 38.6%) for the comparable period in 2011. Net tax exempt income generally decreases a company’s effective tax rate (compared to statutory rates) when the company reports earnings. When there is a loss, the same net tax exempt income will generally produce higher effective tax rates. In addition, interim effective tax rates could be volatile with wide swings in quarterly earnings/losses causing changes in periodic projected annual taxable income, which occurred during 2011. Currently, we expect an effective tax rate of approximately 30% for the year of 2012, which compares to the 2011 annual effective tax rate of 30.2%.

Explanation of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report on Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-interest expense discussion included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measurement to help explain the variance in total non-interest expenses excluding merger and acquisition related expenses, impairment of bank property held for sale, credit related expenses and correspondent banking division expenses between the periods presented. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes this presentation provides useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s non-interest expense between periods presented. The Company believes the non-GAAP measure enhances investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance. This measure is also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might analyze these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these non-GAAP measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis. We measure liquidity position by giving consideration to both on- and off-balance sheet sources of and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis.

Our subsidiary bank regularly assesses the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs, and existing and planned business activities. Our subsidiary bank’s asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends guidelines, subject to the approval of its board of directors, and courses of action to address actual and projected liquidity needs.

Short term sources of funding and liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, net of federal requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities; investment securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from customers pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; loan repayments; deposits and certain interest rate-sensitive deposits; and borrowings under overnight federal fund lines available from correspondent banks. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the primary demand for liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES: MARKET RISK

Market risk

Other than credit risk, we believe interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. Our subsidiary bank monitors and manages its interest rate risk using interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis to measure the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as

63

of December 31, 2011. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of September 30, 2012. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
