FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc., and our wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Marco Community Bank, may from time to time make written or oral statements, including statements contained in this report that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “consider,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “should,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements may constitute forward-looking statements.

Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. Such factors are described below and include, without limitation:
| • | | Losses in our loan portfolio are greater than estimated or expected; |
| • | | Unanticipated deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers may result in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses; |
| • | | If real estate values in our target markets continue to decline, our loan portfolio could become impaired and losses from loan defaults may exceed our allowance for loan and lease losses established for that purpose; |
| • | | Economic conditions affecting real estate values and transactions in Marco Community Bancorp’s market and/or general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable or take longer to recover than expected; |

| • | | If our securities portfolio fails to perform, our securities may lose substantial value; |
| • | | Changes in the legislative and regulatory environment may increase the cost of operations or limit our growth; |
| • | | Our common stock is not an insured bank deposit and is subject to market risk; |
| • | | Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the average trading market for a stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter-Bulletin-Board, and our stock price can be volatile; |
| • | | The inability of Marco Community Bancorp to realize elements of its strategic and operating plans for 2010 and beyond; |
| • | | Natural disasters in Marco Community Bancorp’s primary market areas result in prolonged business disruption or materially impair the value of collateral securing loans; |
| • | | Management’s assumptions and estimates underlying critical accounting policies prove to be inadequate or materially incorrect or are not borne out by subsequent events; |
| • | | The impact of recent and future federal and state regulatory changes; |
| • | | Current or future litigation, regulatory investigations, proceedings, inquiries, or requirements, including the possible closure of the Subsidiary Bank; |
| • | | Strategies to manage interest rate risk may yield results other than those anticipated; |
| • | | A significant rate of inflation (deflation); |
| • | | Unanticipated litigation or claims; |

General
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc. (“MCBI”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 28, 2003, for the purpose of organizing Marco Community Bank (the “Bank”) (MCBI and the Bank are collectively referred to as the “Company”) and purchasing 100% of the to-be-issued capital stock of the Bank. The Company was formed by a group of Marco Island business leaders, bank executives and community leaders who believed that there was a significant demand for a locally-owned community bank.
Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, MCBI is expected to be a source of financial strength to the Bank. Banking regulations require that the Bank maintain a minimum ratio of capital to assets. In the event that the Bank’s growth is such that this minimum ratio is not maintained, MCBI may borrow funds, subject to the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, and contribute them to the capital of the Bank and otherwise raise capital in a manner that is unavailable to the Bank under existing banking regulations.
The Bank commenced business operations on August 18, 2003 in a temporary facility located at 1770 San Marco Road, Marco Island, Florida 34145, Marco Island, Florida. Our permanent office condominium facility was completed at the same site and we commenced occupancy in the third quarter of 2004.
MCBI’s other wholly-owned subsidiary, Commercial Lending Capital Corp. (“CLCC”) (formerly MCB Commercial Lending Corp.) was incorporated on October 22, 2004, and commenced a commercial lending brokerage business on November 8, 2004. CLCC was incorporated to provide commercial loans to customers that would otherwise seek financing elsewhere because of credit limit constraints. Effective December 31, 2008, CLCC’s operations were suspended due to economic market conditions.
Regulatory Action
On February 19, 2010, the Bank was closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) was appointed as receiver of the Bank. Subsequent to the closure, Mutual of Omaha Bank, Omaha, Nebraska (“Mutual of Omaha”), assumed all of the deposits of the Bank, and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC. On February 20, 2010, the one office of the Bank reopened as a branch of Mutual of Omaha.
The Company’s principal asset is the capital stock that it owns in the Bank at February 19, 2010, and, as a result of the closure of the Bank, the Company has minimal remaining tangible assets. The Company did not realize any recovery following the closing of the Bank and sale of its assets by the FDIC, nor is any recovery expected. Since the closing of the Bank, the principal assets of the Company are its office condominium, a participation in a loan receivable, and cash.
The Company is exploring methods of winding down its operations. Any ultimate distribution of assets will occur in accordance with Florida law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the terms of the Company’s outstanding series of Preferred Stock.
The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31. This Form 10-K is also being used as the Bank’s Annual Disclosure Statement under FDIC Regulations. This Form 10-K has not been reviewed or confirmed for accuracy or relevance by the FDIC.
The disclosures contained in this annual report contemplate the Bank and the Company operating with a going concern opinion from its external auditors (see theReport of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm andNote 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The amounts and disclosures as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have not been restated to reflect the closure of the Bank by the FDIC on February 19, 2010.Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-K should understand that this annual report was prepared to comply with the disclosures typically presented by a publicly-held bank and not be misled by the use of present tense language describing the operations of the Bank.
Market Area and Competition
Marco Island is the primary residential and commercial center located in the southeast part of Collier County, Florida. Collier County maintains a steady tourist, industrial and agricultural base, which has been expanding in recent years. The largest employers in the County include: Collier County School Board; Naples Community Hospital, Inc.; Publix Supermarket, Inc.; Collier County Board of County Commissioners; Wal-Mart; Marriott Corporation; Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc.; Ritz Carlton Hotel; and Naples Grande Resort. Agricultural activities in the county center around the cattle, produce and saltwater fishing industries. Numerous resorts, hotels and other tourist facilities are located in Marco Island, as well as a number of winter residences mixed with a large number of permanent residences.

We offer a full range of interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit accounts, including commercial and retail checking accounts, money market accounts, individual retirement and Keogh accounts, regular interest bearing savings accounts and certificates of deposit with fixed and variable rates and a range of maturity date options. The sources of deposits are residents, businesses and employees of businesses within our market area, obtained through the personal solicitation of our officers and directors, direct mail solicitation and advertisements published in the local media. We pay competitive interest rates on time and savings deposits. In addition, we have a service charge fee schedule competitive with other financial institutions in our market area covering such matters as maintenance fees on checking accounts, per item processing fees on checking accounts and returned check charges.
Over the past 24 to 36 months, economic conditions have deteriorated in our primary market area. We believe the challenging market conditions found in our market area are primarily attributable to a regional softening in demand for real estate assets, as well as an oversupply of residential and commercial properties, particularly in the Collier County Florida market. Residential inventories have increased, as has commercial space already in construction and now nearing completion. The decline in residential real estate prices and falling commercial lease rates, uncertainty as to the direction of interest rates, lack of availability of financing and an inability to sell currently owned properties all add to an air of economic uncertainty in the Southwest Florida region. In addition, global economic issues may also affect our market area. These economic factors have also contributed to the number and severity of problem assets within the Bank’s own portfolio as total classified loans as of December 31, 2009 totaled $19.9 million or 16.8% of total assets, compared to $17.4 million or 12.7% at December 31, 2008. The Bank has brought its reserves in line with its expected exposure to these problem assets.
Loan Portfolio
General - We consider the maintenance of a well-underwritten and diversified loan portfolio a prudent and profitable method of employing funds raised through deposits. The Bank’s objective is to maintain a high quality, diversified credit portfolio consisting of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans.
The Bank’s loan policy provides the Bank’s lenders with the discretion necessary to accomplish our lending objectives, while assuring compliance with banking regulations. The Bank Board’s Loan Committee is responsible for overseeing the soundness of the Bank’s credit policy, adherence to lending policies and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. To fulfill these responsibilities, the Loan Committee reviews the adequacy of the Bank’s credit policy on at least a quarterly basis, reviews all large loans and monitors the performance of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2009, net loans and loans held for sale comprised 83.2% of our total assets.
Commercial Loans - We provide commercial loans to the business community to provide funds for such purposes as financing business equipment and commercial real estate. Our emphasis is on loans secured by commercial real estate, rather than riskier receivables or business inventory loans. Risks associated with these types of loans include the general business conditions found in the local economy and borrowers’ ability to conduct their businesses in a fashion which generates sufficient profits to repay their loans under agreed upon terms and conditions. Personal guarantees may be obtained from the principals of business borrowers and third parties to support the borrowers’ ability to service the debt and reduce the risk of non-payment.
Commercial loans are either short term (one year or less) or intermediate term in nature and may be secured, unsecured or partially secured. Maturities are structured in relation to the economic purpose of the loan, conforming to the anticipated source of repayment. Interest rates are typically originated on a floating rate basis, tied to prime rate. The basis upon which we set rates over prime is based upon the risk of the credit facility. We attempt to place interest rate, floors and pre-payment penalties whenever possible. In addition, we attempt to originate fee income on each loan closed through the Bank.
Term loans are those having an anticipated final maturity of more than one year from the initial funding date. Generally, loans extending more than two years are made pursuant to more robust loan agreements between the borrower and the Bank. These more robust loan agreements typically include loan covenants and requirements of the borrower to provide financial and other information needed to monitor the loan relationship. Amortization schedules on term loans secured by collateral other than real estate typically reflect a complete payout within seven years of the funding date. Loans secured by commercial real estate are generally amortized over 20 years, with five to seven year maturities.
Demand notes are utilized in connection with certain secured commercial loan transactions where the nature of the transactions suggest that such structure is clearly preferable; however, time notes are utilized as a matter of routine.
The following types of credit are also considered by the Bank, subject to adequate available resources to monitor and service such credit:
| • | | real estate development loans secured by a first lien on the property where the Bank is also providing construction and/or permanent financing; |
6
| • | | term loans secured by machinery and equipment (terms of such loans will be consistent with the purpose, cash flow capacity and economic life of collateral); and |
| • | | credit lines for short-term working capital requirements. All credit lines are subject to review at least annually and will generally carry a requirement for a minimum 30 consecutive day annual out-of-debt period. |
Residential Real Estate and Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit - Our consumer real estate lending includes loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties under revolving and open-end loans and lines of credit as well as closed-end loans secured by first and/or junior liens. Our residential real estate loans generally are repayable in monthly installments based on up to a 15-year or a 30-year amortization schedule. We do not actively engage in conventional 15 to 30-year fixed rate residential mortgage lending. Home equity loans and lines of credit may include monthly amortization of principal and interest, but are typically interest-only until maturity.
Residential real estate typically includes loans to finance the acquisition of single-family residences, vacant lots, or lines of credit on existing residences within our immediate market area of Marco Island. However, most of our loans secured by residential real estate are actually loans for a commercial purpose. Exclusive of home equity lines of credit, approximately 63% of our residential real estate loans fall into this category and the other 37% are loans for the acquisition of residential real estate. To the extent that these loans are for the acquisition of the real estate, these are first lien positions. Regarding home equity lines of credit, these may either be in first or junior lien positions depending upon the existence of any prior encumbrances on the collateral real estate. A typical portfolio mix within the classification of home equity lines of credit is approximately 38% first lien positions and 62% second lien positions, but these percentages will vary depending upon specific loan activity at each reporting date.
Correspondent Lending - The Company sold fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans during 2009. In these sales, the investors have no recourse to the Company’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $574,000 on residential mortgage loan sales.
Consumer Loans - Consumer loans are being provided to individuals for household, family and personal expenditures. Consumer loans generally involve more risk than mortgage loans because the collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the principal. This risk is due to the potential for damage to the collateral or other loss of value, and the fact that any remaining deficiency often does not warrant further collection efforts. In addition, consumer loan performance depends on the borrower’s continued financial stability and is, therefore, more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Generally, consumer loans have a maturity of not longer than six years. The primary type of consumer lending will be for the financing of boats and automobiles, home improvements and education.
Loan Loss Allowance
As of December 31, 2009, approximately 25.4% of outstanding loans are in the commercial real estate loan category compared to 27.9% at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009, commercial loans represented 25.7% of our loan portfolio, compared to 29.9% at December 31, 2008. Commercial loans are generally considered by management as having greater risk than other categories of loans in our loan portfolio. We believe that the real estate collateral securing our commercial real estate loans reduces the risk of loss inherently present in commercial loans.
At December 31, 2009, our consumer loan portfolio consisted primarily of lines of credit and installment loans secured by automobiles, boats and other consumer goods. We believe that the risk associated with these types of loans has been adequately provided for in the loan loss allowance.
The Bank’s Board of Directors monitors the loan portfolio monthly in order to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In addition to reviews by regulatory agencies, the Bank engages the services of outside consultants to assist in the evaluation of credit quality and loan administration. These professionals complement our internal system, which identifies potential problem credits as quickly as possible, categorizes the credit portfolio as to risk and includes a reporting process to monitor the progress of any troubled credits.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of principal is unlikely. The monthly provision for loan losses is based on management’s judgment, after considering known and inherent risks in the portfolio, our past loss experience, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, assumed values of the underlying collateral securing the loans, the current and prospective financial condition of the borrower, and the prevailing and anticipated economic conditions within the local market.

As with other banks that have regional exposure to the real estate markets, the Bank has not been immune to the general downturn in the real estate markets and its generalized effects upon the regional economy. Subsequently, as the downturn has progressed, this has placed a strain upon asset quality.
This process of provision calculation has evolved as the Bank has responded to the change in its local and regional market conditions. This has necessitated a revision in the process of calculating such provisions so as to ensure that the Bank maintains an appropriate level of reserves in response to the changing market conditions within which the Bank operates.
The Bank has received and welcomed guidance from the appropriate regulatory agencies about the calculation of this provision and has worked with these agencies to ensure that the allowance for lease and loan losses meets appropriate regulatory standards. This has entailed changes in how the Bank has segmented loan categories, resulting in a more appropriate and detailed division of loan categories (that is, using loan categories tracked though our regulatory reporting to the federal agencies) and an improved assignment of risks specific to each category, which includes consideration of changes in historical losses resulting from trends in key qualitative factors discussed below. This re-segmentation and risk re-assessment has been conducted in compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements FAS 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and FAS 5,Accounting for Contingencies.
As expected, the revision of this calculation process delineated the need to adjust our provisions and overall lease and loan loss allowance accordingly. In addition, we have responded to specific guidance provided by the appropriate regulatory agencies and have made specifically directed adjustments in the level of this allowance in order to conform to this guidance.
Specifically, our current methodology for determining our allowance for loan and lease losses includes:
| • | | Evaluating classified loans for impairment under FAS 114, which may result in a specific reserve to the individual loan, if warranted. |
| • | | In addition to the specific reserves under FAS 114, management evaluates performing loans and loans individually reviewed for impairment but not considered individually impaired, by segmenting these loans by loan classification (or loan pools) to establish reserves under FAS 5. A summary of the FAS 5 methodology follows: |
| • | | We determine our starting point for historical loss rate for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics based on our loss experience for that group. Historical net charge-off rates are generally used for the past two years but are weighted such that the previous five quarters account for over 80% of the historical charge-off rate used for the loan classifications. In 2009 and 2008, we were using fifteen loan pools, which generally follow the classifications used in our reporting to the federal regulators. |
| • | | We consider qualitative or environmental factors likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical loss experience. The most significant of the qualitative factors we consider include: |
| • | | Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectibility of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments. |
| • | | Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans. |
| • | | Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. |
| • | | The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. |
| • | | We currently use Federal Reserve data to quantify the overall effect of qualitative factors on a loan group as an adjustment that increases or decreases group’s historical loss rate. We believe the Federal Reserve data provides a directional adjustment consistent with trends in our market, which is validated through our internal and external examinations of our loan policies and procedures and risk management. As our methodology is refined over time, our adjustment(s) for qualitative factors will be derived from our history and/or internal sources. |
While we have modified our allowance methodology and will continue to improve the process, changes in the allowance over the past few years have resulted more from changes in the economy, declining real estate collateral values, and losses from certain loan products – more so than from changing our methodology. The use of the single factor from the Federal Reserve data was used for all segments of loans because a substantial portion of our (and our peers’) loan portfolio is secured by real estate and was affected by the severe decline in real estate values, particularly in our market in Southwest Florida.

The provision for loan losses was $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Non-accrual loans decreased $520,000 from December 31, 2008. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 15.8% at December 31, 2009, compared to 9.1% from December 31, 2008, and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 16.0% and 9.8%, respectively, at these same dates.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, $8.6 million was charged off against the allowance for loan losses, net of recoveries. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $3.6 million was charged off against the allowance.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is comprised of real estate properties obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. As of December 31, 2009, OREO totaled $2.8 million which was comprised of 38 lots, 10 residential properties, and 1 commercial parcel, all recorded at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. Of the 49 properties, 5 have been held since 2007, 11 since 2008, and 33 since 2009. Changes in value subsequent to transfer are recorded in non-interest expense along with direct operating expenses. Gains or losses not previously recognized which result from the sale of OREO are recognized in non-interest expense on the date of sale. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded write-downs of $2.4 million on other real estate owned and received $3.2 million in proceeds from the sale of four residential properties, which resulted in a $336,000 loss. The Company also recorded $327,000 in expenses to refurbish, carry or maintain other real estate owned.
At the time a loan is transferred to OREO, the Bank orders an appraisal and records OREO at a discounted amount based upon the current appraised market value. OREO is actively marketed by professional real estate individuals in an attempt to sell parcels at their current market value. The Company is exposed to the weakening real estate conditions in the Florida markets including Orlando, Naples, Fort Myers and Tampa. With the general economic downturn, the Company may not be able to sell its OREO property at the current market value, may experience an increase in OREO and may incur increased expenses related to carrying and maintaining OREO.
Deposit Generation
We compete aggressively for deposits in the Marco Island market. Among our product offerings are online business banking, checking accounts, cash management services, safe deposit boxes, travelers’ checks, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, wire transfers, telephone banking and automatic drafts. We believe these accounts and products are profitable when considering the entire potential customer relationship, which may include other deposit accounts, loans, and sources of fee income.
We also offer certificate of deposit and savings account promotions designed to attract customers that we intend to cross-sell other services, including loan products. Our goal is to attract customers who will become long-term due to more responsive, more personalized, and faster service. We also seek to garner low cost deposits while continuing to focus on business deposits encompassing the utilization of our new state-of- the art software programs.
We offer a tiered money market/savings product whereby the Bank pays higher rates on higher deposit balances. We believe this deposit vehicle allows the Bank to compete with money market mutual funds.
Investments
We enter into Federal Funds transactions with our principal correspondent banks and primarily act as a net seller of such funds. The sale of Federal Funds amount to a short-term loan from us to another bank, usually overnight. At December 31, 2009, no funds were invested overnight. At December 31, 2008, Federal Funds sold comprised 5.3% of our total assets. At December 31, 2009, the Company held $5.0 million in U.S. Government Agency bonds compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company held $5.5 million in Federal National Mortgage Association Mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2009 (measured at fair value), and $7.1 million at December 31, 2008 (measured at amortized cost). During 2009, all investments were either sold or reclassified from held to maturity to available for sale.

Asset/Liability Management
It is our objective to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established cash management, loan, investment, borrowing and capital policies. Designated Bank officers are responsible for monitoring policies and procedures that are designed to ensure acceptable composition of the asset/liability mix, stability and leverage of all sources of funds while adhering to prudent banking practices. It is the overall philosophy of management to support asset growth primarily through growth of core deposits, which include deposits of all categories made by individuals, partnerships and corporations.
Our asset/liability mix is monitored on a daily basis with a monthly report reflecting interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities being prepared and presented to the Bank’s Board of Directors. The objective of this policy is to control interest-sensitive assets and liabilities so as to minimize the impact of substantial movements in interest rates on our earnings.
Monetary Policies
The results of our operations are affected by credit policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal Reserve include open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits and limitations on interest rates that member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. In the view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money markets, as well as the effect of action by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve, no accurate prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or our business and earnings.
Employees
As of December 31, 2009, we employed 33 full-time persons, including four executive officers. Employees are hired as needed to meet company-wide personnel demands.
Supervision and Regulation
The following is a brief summary of some of the statutes, rules and regulations that affect our operations. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to our business. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on the business and prospects of MCBI and the Bank.
On February 2, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBI, consented to the issuance of a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (“Directive”) by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The Directive requires the Bank within 45 days, in conjunction with the Company, to: (i) raise sufficient capital to return the Bank to “adequately capitalized” status; (ii) enter into and close a contract to have the Bank acquired by another financial institution; or (iii) take such other action as to return the Bank to “adequately capitalized” status. The Directive further prohibits the Bank from making any distributions of capital, which the Bank has never done and has no intentions of doing.
In addition, pursuant to the Directive, the Bank may not solicit and accept new deposit accounts or renew any time deposit bearing an interest rate that exceeds the prevailing effective rates on insured deposits of comparable amounts and maturities in the Bank’s market area. The Bank does not anticipate that these restrictions will affect its operations, as it has been operating under similar restrictions imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance regulations since the end of 2009.
Finally, the Directive notifies the Bank that Federal law (i) prohibits it from paying bonuses or increasing compensation to senior executive officers; (ii) restricts it with respect to asset growth, acquisitions, branching and new lines of business; (iii) prohibits it from making material changes in accounting methods; and (iv) engaging in certain types of transactions with the Company. The Bank had no intentions of taking any such actions prior to the entry of the Directive.
On August 14, 2007, the Bank entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“Federal Reserve”) and the OFR. The purpose of the Written Agreement is for the Bank to address the Federal Reserve’s and OFR’s supervisory and regulatory concerns primarily related to the volume of certain loan pools, which are described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, as well as other loan quality and administration issues. Pursuant to the Written Agreement, the Bank must take corrective actions within specified time frames, which may be extended with the consent of the Federal Reserve and the OFR. Failure to comply with the terms of the Written Agreement could result in the assessment of civil money penalties against the Bank and the members of its Board of Directors. The actions taken included an evaluation by the Bank’s Board of Directors of its current management and staffing to determine if any additional or replacement personnel are needed; the preparation and
10
implementation of a strategic business plan and budget designed to improve the Bank’s financial condition and credit risk management; a review and adoption of any necessary revisions to the Bank’s loan policy and loan review/grading program; a reduction of the Bank’s volume of adversely classified assets; and the continual monitoring of the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, the Bank may not make any loans to borrowers who previously had loans charged-off by the Bank (such provision is typically included in such written agreements as a proactive preventative measure); must prepare a plan to effectively manage the Bank’s capital relative to its volume of adversely classified assets, anticipated growth and risk profile; and may not pay any dividends without regulatory consent. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank has worked diligently to stay in compliance with the written agreement and considered itself to be in compliance with substantially all conditions of the Written Agreement.
After entering into the Written Agreement, (i) the Board of Directors realigned its operating committee structure to facilitate its involvement in the Bank; (ii) the Bank added Richard Storm, Jr. as its President & Chief Executive Officer, and a new Chief Credit Officer, Chief Financial Officer, a new Senior Commercial Lender & Credit Officer and an Executive Vice President of Special Assets and City Executive; (iii) the Board completed a full review of all officers, senior managers, and department heads; (iv) the Board, upon the recommendation of the Loan Committee, approved new appropriate lending authorities, scopes and limits for all loan officers; (v) the Board retained an independent third party to conduct a quarterly loan review; (vi) the Bank commenced development and implementation of various plans to reduce the volume of classified loans; (vii) the Bank charged off all assets classified as “loss” and established an allowance for loan losses that it has determined to be appropriate; (viii) the Bank restricted transactions with the Company; and (ix) the Bank has prepared a formal business plan.
As noted earlier, the Bank was closed by the OFR and the FDIC was appointed as receiver of the Bank on February 19, 2010.
As a registered bank holding company, MCBI is subject to an extensive body of state and federal banking laws and regulations, which impose specific requirements and restrictions on virtually all aspects of our operations. We are also affected by government monetary policy and by regulatory measures affecting the banking industry in general.
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc.
We are organized as a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As such, we file annual reports and other information with the Federal Reserve regarding our business operations and those of our subsidiaries. We are also subject to the supervision of, and to periodic inspections by, the Federal Reserve. However, subsequent to the closing of the Bank, MCBI is no longer a holding company and is no longer subject to banking regulations. The Bank Holding Company Act generally requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before:
| • | | acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of a bank; |
| • | | acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company; or |
| • | | merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. |
The Bank Holding Company Act and the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations of the Federal Reserve, require certain steps be taken before a person or company acquires control of a bank holding company. Depending on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve’s approval must be obtained, or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve and not disapproved, before any person or company acquires control of a bank holding company, subject to certain exemptions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist when an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of a bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities, and either: (i) the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (ii) no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of securities immediately after the transaction.
Except as authorized by the Bank Holding Company Act and Federal Reserve regulations or orders, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in any business other than the business of banking or managing and controlling banks. Some of the activities the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of banking, and thus permissible for bank holding companies, include:
| • | | making or servicing loans and certain types of leases; |
| • | | engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities; |
| • | | performing certain data processing services; |
| • | | acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor; |
| • | | providing management consulting services; |
11
| • | | owning savings associations; and |
| • | | making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare. |
In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks. In adhering to the Federal Reserve’s policy, MCBI may be required to provide financial support to the Bank when, absent such policy, we might not deem it advisable to provide such assistance.
Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve may also require a bank holding company to terminate any activity, or relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary (other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that the activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary bank of the bank holding company. Federal bank regulatory authorities also have the discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or non-bank subsidiary if an agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 also imposes significant corporate governance standards on the Company. The primary areas of such regulation concern Board oversight of the auditing process, certification of periodic securities reporting and transactions between officers or directors and the Company.
Marco Community Bank
As a state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank, the Bank is subject to the supervision and regulation of the OFR and the Federal Reserve. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC for a maximum of $250,000 per depositor. For this protection, the Bank may be required to pay a quarterly statutory assessment. The assessment, if any, levied for deposit insurance will vary, depending on the capital position of the Bank, and other supervisory factors. In 2009, the Bank was assessed and paid $670,000 for such insurance services.
Areas regulated and monitored by the bank regulatory authorities include:
| • | | security devices and procedures; |
| • | | adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves; |
| • | | issuances of securities; |
| • | | establishment of branches; |
| • | | corporate reorganizations; |
| • | | transactions with affiliates; |
| • | | maintenance of books and records; and |
| • | | adequacy of staff training to carry out safe lending and deposit gathering practices. |
Capital Adequacy Requirements
The Bank and MCBI are subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve. Until a bank and its holding company’s consolidated assets reach $500 million, the capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve are applied to bank holding companies on a non-consolidated basis, unless the bank holding company is engaged in non-bank activities involving significant leverage, or it has a significant amount of outstanding debt held by the general public. The Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital guidelines apply directly to insured state banks, regardless of whether they are subsidiaries of a bank holding company. These requirements establish minimum capital ratios in relation to assets, both on an aggregate basis as adjusted for credit risks and off-balance sheet exposures. The risk weights assigned to assets are based primarily on credit risks. For example, securities with an unconditional guarantee by the United States government are assigned to the lowest risk category. The aggregate amount of assets assigned to each risk category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category to determine the weighted values, which are added together to determine total risk-weighted assets.
Capital is then classified into two categories, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying preferred shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of mandatory convertible, subordinated, and other qualifying term debt, preferred stock not qualifying for Tier 1 capital, and a limited amount of allowance for credit losses, up to a designated percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based guidelines, banks must maintain a specified
12
minimum ratio of “qualifying” capital to risk-weighted assets. At least 50% of a bank’s qualifying capital must be “core” or Tier 1 capital, and the balance may be “supplementary” or Tier 2 capital. In addition, the guidelines require banks to maintain a
minimum leverage ratio standard of capital adequacy. The leverage standard requires top-rated institutions to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital to assets ratio of 3%. All other institutions are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4% or greater, based upon their particular circumstances and risk profiles.
Federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted regulations refining the risk-based capital guidelines to further ensure that the guidelines take adequate account of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the adverse effect that changes in market interest rates may have on a bank’s financial condition and is inherent to the business of banking. Under the regulations, when evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy, the revised capital standards now explicitly include a bank’s exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates. The exposure of a bank’s economic value generally represents the change in the present value of its assets, less the change in the value of its liabilities, plus the change in the value of its interest rate off-balance sheet contracts.
Federal bank regulatory agencies possess broad powers to take prompt corrective action as deemed appropriate for an insured depository institution and its holding company, based on the institution’s capital levels. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the bank in question is considered “well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” or “critically undercapitalized.” Generally, as a bank is deemed to be less than well-capitalized, the scope and severity of the agencies’ powers increase, ultimately permitting an agency to appoint a receiver for the bank. Business activities may also be influenced by a bank’s capital classification. For instance, only a “well-capitalized” bank may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval, and can engage in various expansion activities with prior notice, rather than prior regulatory approval. However, rapid growth, poor loan portfolio performance or poor earnings performance, or a combination of these factors, could change the capital position of the Bank in a relatively short period of time. Failure to meet these capital requirements could subject the bank to regulatory action, which may include filing with the appropriate bank regulatory authorities a plan describing the means and a schedule for achieving the minimum capital requirements. In addition, the Bank would not be able to receive regulatory approval of any application that required consideration of capital adequacy, such as a branch or merger application, unless we could demonstrate a reasonable plan to meet the capital requirement within an acceptable period of time.
Other Laws
State usury and credit laws limit the amount of interest and various other charges collected or contracted by a bank on loans. Our loans are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
| • | | Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, which governs disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; |
| • | | Community Reinvestment Act, which requires financial institutions to meet their obligations to provide for the total credit needs of the communities they serve, including investing their assets in loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers; |
| • | | Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, which requires financial institutions to provide information to enable public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligations to meet the housing needs of the community it serves; |
| • | | Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibitive factors in extending credit; |
| • | | Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, which requires lenders to disclose certain information regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements, and prohibits certain lending practices, as well as limits escrow account amounts in real estate transactions; |
| • | | Fair Credit Reporting Act, which governs the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and |
| • | | Rules and regulations of various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. |
Our operations are also subject to the:
| • | | Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which requires us to maintain privacy policies intended to safeguard consumer financial information, to disclose these policies to our customers, and allow customers to “opt out” of having their financial service providers disclose their confidential financial information to non-affiliated third parties, subject to certain exceptions; |
13
| • | | Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial record; and |
| • | | Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E, which govern automatic deposits to, and withdrawals from, deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of debit cards, automated teller machines and other electronic banking services. |
Interstate Banking and Branching
Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, eligible bank holding companies in any state are permitted, with Federal Reserve approval, to acquire banking organizations in any other state. The Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act also removed substantially all of the prohibitions on interstate branching by banks. The authority of a bank to establish and operate branches within a state, however, continues to be subject to applicable state branching laws. Under current Florida law, the Bank is permitted to establish branch offices throughout Florida, with the prior approval of the OFR and the Federal Reserve. In addition, with prior regulatory approval, we are able to acquire existing banking operations in other states.
Financial Modernization
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 sought to achieve significant modernization of the federal bank regulatory framework by allowing the consolidation of banking institutions with other types of financial services firms, subject to various restrictions and requirements. In general, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed most of the federal statutory barriers which separated commercial banking firms from insurance and securities firms and authorized the consolidation of such firms in a “financial services holding company.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC superseded all existing non-SEC accounting literature and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC is nonauthoritative. The Company’s policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.
In 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (this SFAS was incorporated into the ASC on January 1, 2010), amending the accounting for the transfers of financial assets. This new standard enhances reporting about transfers of financial assets, including loan participations and securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. It also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The standard was effective January 1, 2010, and had no effect on the Company���s consolidated financial statements.
In 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (this SFAS was incorporated into the ASC on January 1, 2010), on how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The standard requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entity’s financial statements. The standard was effective January 1, 2010, and had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that requires new disclosures about significant transfers in and/or out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and activity in Level 3 (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements). In addition, this guidance provides clarification of existing disclosure requirements about (a) level of disaggregation and (b) inputs and valuation techniques. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the disclosure requirements.
14
In April 2010, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition (ASU 2010-18,Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset). This guidance allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregate as a pool. Upon establishment of the pool, the pool becomes the unit of accounting. When loans are accounted for as a pool, the purchase discount is not allocated to individual loans; thus, all of the loans in the pool accrete at a single pool rate (based on cash flow projections for the pool). In addition, the impairment analysis also is performed on the pool as a whole as opposed to each individual loan. The update is effective in the first annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 18, 2004, we moved into our headquarters that is located at 1770 San Marco Road, Marco Island, Florida. This is a two-story 12,500 square foot office condominium building, which was custom-built to meet our specifications. The Bank owns the first floor and currently conducts all of its retail operations from this location. There are four drive-through lanes, one of which has an ATM. We have five teller stations in our lobby and nine offices for customer service personnel, loan officers and private banking. There are staff facilities and a community room. MCBI owns most of the second floor where its finance, loan and executive offices are located. Approximately 1,168 square feet were sold to an unrelated third party in 2004.
In January 2007, the CLCC leased space on Marco Island, Florida where they conducted their commercial lending brokerage business. At December 31, 2008, the operations of CLCC were suspended and the lease terminated.
In July, 2008, the Bank purchased a second floor corner commercial condominium unit, on Marco Island. The loan operations department was moved to the new location. In 2009, the condominium unit was vacated and is being held for future expansion.
On Thursday, August 22, 2008, the Bank, instituted an action (Marco Community Bank v. Atlantic Capital Associates, Inc., Florida Capital Bank N.A. and Allen C. Ewing & Co., Case No. 086362CA) in the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida against each of Atlantic Capital Assoc., Inc.(“ACA”), Florida Capital Bank, N.A. (“FCB”) and Allen C. Ewing & Co. (“Ewing” and collectively with ACA and FCB, the “Defendants”).
Specifically, the Bank alleged that ACA, the loan originator, loan servicer, lender and underwriter, along with its agents FCB and Ewing, failed to underwrite mortgage loans in conformity with their own offering documents, servicing agreements and industry standards. In addition, the Bank alleged that the Defendants also failed to perform as required under their agreements with the bank and that all of these failures and conflicts led up to the issuance of loan pools, which were impaired securities founded on material misstatements and omissions in the offering documents, servicing agreements and other material documents delivered in connection with the purchase of these loan pools by the Bank.
At December 31, 2009, this lawsuit was ongoing and in the discovery stages. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Bank was closed and the FDIC was appointed as receiver of the Bank. As a result of that process, the FDIC replaced the Bank as the Plaintiff in this case. The Company no longer has an interest in this litigation or its outcome.

As of December 31, 2009, MCBI common stock was held by approximately 356 shareholders. During the fourth quarter of 2009, MCBI did not repurchase any of its securities.
Our ability to pay cash dividends depends almost entirely upon the amount of dividends that the Bank is permitted to pay by statute or regulation. Additionally, Florida law provides that we may only pay dividends if the dividend payment would not render us insolvent, or unable to meet our obligations as they come due. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, including a prohibition of payment of dividends from the Bank’s capital under certain circumstances without the prior approval of the OFR and the Federal Reserve. Presently, the Bank’s written agreement with the Federal Reserve and the OFR prohibits the Bank from paying any dividends without regulatory approval. Furthermore, except with the prior approval of the OFR, all dividends of any Florida bank must be paid out of retained net profits from the current period and the previous two years, after deducting expenses, including losses and bad debts. No cash dividends were paid for the year ended December 31, 2009.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the Periods then Ended
General
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Holding Company”), was incorporated on January 28, 2003, for the purpose of operating as a one-bank holding company. The Holding Company currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Marco Community Bank (the “Bank”) and Commercial Lending Capital Corp. (“CLCC”) (formally known as MCB Commercial Lending Corp.) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s only business is the ownership and operation of the Bank and CLCC. The Bank is a Florida-chartered commercial bank which opened for business on August 18, 2003. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides community banking services to business and individuals from its banking office located in Marco Island, Florida. CLCC operated as a commercial loan brokerage business. Effective December 31, 2008, CLCC’s operations were suspended due to economic market conditions.
As noted earlier, the Bank was closed by the OFR and the FDIC was appointed as receiver of the Bank on February 19, 2010. Subsequent to the closure, Mutual of Omaha Bank, Omaha, Nebraska (“Mutual of Omaha”), assumed all of the deposits of the Bank, and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC. On February 20, 2010, the one office of the Bank reopened as a branch of Mutual of Omaha.
The Company’s principal asset is the capital stock that it owns in the Bank at February 19, 2010, and, as a result of the closure of the Bank, the Company has minimal remaining tangible assets. The Company did not realize any recovery following the closing of the Bank and sale of its assets by the FDIC, nor is any recovery expected. Since the closing of the Bank, the principal assets of the Company are its office condominium, a participation in a loan receivable, and cash.
The Company is exploring methods of winding down its operations. Any ultimate distribution of assets will occur in accordance with Florida law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the terms of the Company’s outstanding series of Preferred Stock.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting measurements and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. When applying accounting policies in areas that are subjective in nature, we must use our best judgment to arrive at the carrying value of certain assets. The most critical accounting policies we apply relate to the valuation of the loan portfolio and foreclosed assets, and the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
A variety of estimates impact carrying value of the loan portfolio including the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of underlying collateral, the timing of loan charge-offs and the amount and amortization of loan fees and deferred origination costs.
The allowance for loan losses is the most difficult and subjective judgment. The allowance is established and maintained at a level we believe is adequate to cover losses resulting from the inability of borrowers to make required payments on loans. Estimates for loan losses are arrived at by analyzing risks associated with specific loans and the loan portfolio, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, the views of our regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and peer comparisons. The analysis also requires consideration of the economic climate and direction, change in the interest rate environment, which may impact a borrower’s ability to pay, legislation impacting the banking industry and economic conditions specific to our service area. Because the calculation of the allowance for loan losses relies on estimates and judgments relating to inherently uncertain events, results may differ from our estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is also discussed as part of “Results of Operations” and in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year, its estimate of future earnings, and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards, and determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the near term. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total assets at December 31, 2009, were $118.8 million and net loans were $98.8 million, while at December 31, 2008, total assets were $136.7 million and net loans were $106.6 million. Deposits totaled $115.8 million at December 31, 2009, and $116.1 million at December 31, 2008. The Company’s primary source of cash during the year ended December 31, 2009, was net proceeds from the principal repayments on securities of $2.7 million, sales and calls of securities of $8.3 million, sales of OREO of $3.2 million and issuance of preferred stock and exercise of common stock warrants totaling $809,000. Cash was used primarily to fund the net decrease in deposits, purchase securities of $13.2 million, loans and repurchase agreements of $1.1 million and fund the allowance for loan losses of $9.4 million. In 2008, the primary source of cash was net proceeds from the net decrease in loans of $5.1 million and issuance of preferred stock of $1.1 million. At December 31, 2009, commitments to borrowers for available lines of credit and unfunded construction loans totaled $9.8 million and we had time deposits of $36.1 million maturing in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2009, we had no outstanding commitments to originate loans. We expect to fund our commitments from the sources described above and could adjust the interest-rates paid on deposits if necessary to attract or retain time deposit accounts.
Regulation and Legislation
As a state-chartered commercial bank and registered bank holding company, we are subject to extensive regulation by the OFR and the Federal Reserve. We file reports with the OFR and the Federal Reserve concerning our activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other financial institutions. Periodic examinations are performed by the OFR and the Federal Reserve to monitor our compliance with the various regulatory requirements. As described in “Description of Business,” the Bank, as of December 31, 2009, was party to a prompt corrective action directive and written agreement with the Federal Reserve and the OFR.
Credit Risk and Loan Loss Experience
Our primary business is making commercial, business, consumer, and real estate loans. That activity entails potential loan losses, the magnitudes of which depend on a variety of economic factors affecting borrowers which are beyond our control. While we have instituted underwriting guidelines and credit review procedures to protect the Company from avoidable credit losses, some losses will inevitably occur. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $9.7 million in non-accrual loans and no loans that were over 90 days past due and still accruing interest. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $10.2 million in non-accrual loans and no loans that were over 90 days past due and still accruing interest. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company charged off loan balances of $8.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company charged off loan balances of $3.6 million.
We evaluate the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis. It is based upon our periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. We base the allowance for loan losses on a grading system.
An analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses is furnished in the following table (dollars in thousands):

During the course of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, non-accrual loans increased slightly as a percentage of the Bank’s loan portfolio from 9.1% to 9.5%, while total past dues (those loans in excess of 30 days of delinquency) grew from 9.8% of the total loan portfolio to 17.7%. This increase in non-performing assets was offset by the increased provisions for loan losses over net charge-offs, which resulted in an increase to the ratio of the allowance to non-performing assets, excluding restructured loans, from 45.8% to 55.9%. The following summarizes past due loans by loan type (dollars in thousands):

The process by which the Bank calculates the allowance for lease and loan losses has evolved to more closely track those portions of the loan portfolio where the Bank was incurring a heightened level of impairment to asset quality. This process of modification also allowed the Bank to more accurately define segment risks and to more adequately determine an appropriate overall reserve level. This modified process was first utilized in the calculation of the provision taken at March 31, 2008, in conjunction with guidance from the appropriate regulatory agencies as to the level of reserve that the agencies felt was appropriate for the Bank to maintain at that time. This process, which is described under the section “Loan Loss Allowance,” beginning at page 7, has been consistently applied throughout 2008 and 2009.
Investment Activities
Investment activities serve to enhance overall yield on earning assets while supporting interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions. Securities may be classified as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations. Held-to-maturity securities are those for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities.
The securities have been classified according to management’s intent. Following are summaries of the securities (dollars in thousands):

Scheduled contractual principal payments of loans do not reflect the actual lives of loans. The average life of a loan is substantially less than its contractual term because of prepayments. The average life of a loan tends to increase; however, when the current market rates for that particular type of loan are substantially higher than rates on an existing loan and, conversely, tend to decrease when rates on an existing loan are substantially higher than the current market rate for that particular type of loan. Prepayment penalties attempt to lessen the income impact of borrowers prepaying their loans by imposing fees for any early prepayment of the loans.
As of December 31, 2009, and 2008, no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans existed, which were not disclosed as a separate category of loans.

Residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to earnings. At December 31, 2009, fair value exceeded book value for loans held for sale, which totaled $3.2 million. There were no loans for sale as of December 31, 2008.
Non-performing Loans
Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. It is our policy to discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, all unpaid interest is reversed. Payments on non-accrual loans are generally applied to either principal or interest or both, depending on management’s evaluation of collectibility. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid or the loan becomes both well secured and in the process of collection.
In 2009, non-accrual loans decreased by $520,000. Non-accrual loans totaling $9.7 million are the result of non-payments by borrowers on loans made for commercial real estate purposes. In 2008, $2.0 million of the $10.2 million of non-accrual loans was related to loan pool purchases. These purchased short term loans were to borrowers with high credit scores and were used to finance the borrowers’ acquisition and renovation of residential real estate primarily in Duval and Hillsborough Counties, Florida. Due to liquidity and pricing weaknesses in those markets, as well as the financial deterioration of the loans’ servicer, we concluded that the likelihood of full repayment of those loans was unlikely. During 2009, all of the loan pools were liquidated.
Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses are recognized where appropriate.
The following is a summary of nonperforming loans and restructured loans (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
At December 31, | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Non-accrual loans | | $ | 9,716 | | | $ | 10,236 | |
Restructured loans | | | 6,506 | | | | — | |

All loans where information exists about possible credit problems that would cause us to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with the current terms of the loan have been reflected within the table summarizing non-performing loans.

Interest income recorded during the year | | | 69 | | | 55 |
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no loans that were over 90 days past due and still accruing interest.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unfunded construction loans, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unfunded construction loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. To control the credit risk associated with entering into commitments and issuing letters of credit, the Company uses the same credit quality, collateral policies, and monitoring controls in making commitments and letters of credit as it does with its lending activities.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments.
Unused lines of credit, unfunded construction loans and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate.
The following table is a summary of the amounts of the financial instruments, with off-balance sheet risk, at December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):
| | | |
| | Contract Amount |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: | | | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | — |
Unfunded construction loans | | | 8 |
Unused lines of credit | | | 9,794 |

Liquidity
Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to maintain sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating obligations. The Bank’s liquidity position was initially established through the Holding Company’s purchase of $ 6.4 million of the common stock of the Bank. In 2009, the Holding Company contributed an additional $1.8 million to the Bank’s capital. In 2008, the Holding Company contributed an additional $2.3 million to the Bank’s capital. As the Bank grows, liquidity needs can be met either by converting assets to cash or by attracting new deposits. Bank deposits were $115.8 million at December 31, 2009, and $ 116.1 million at December 31, 2008. Below are the pertinent liquidity balances and ratios at December 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands).

| | | | | | | | |
At December 31, | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 2,301 | | | $ | 9,211 | |
Time deposits over $100,000 to total deposits ratio | | | 15.3 | % | | | 26.6 | % |
Loan to deposit ratio | | | 91.5 | % | | | 97.1 | % |
Brokered deposits | | $ | 3,034 | | | $ | 25,172 | |
Cash and cash equivalents are the primary source of liquidity. At December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2.3 million, representing 1.9 % of total assets. At December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9.2 million, representing 6.7% of total assets. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, large denomination certificates accounted for 15.3% and 26.6%, respectively, of total deposits. Large denomination time deposits generally are more volatile than other deposits. As a result, management continually monitors the competitiveness of the rates it pays on its large denomination time deposits and periodically adjusts the Bank’s rates in accordance with market demands. Significant withdrawals of large denomination time deposits may have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s liquidity. Management believes that since a majority of the above certificates were obtained from Bank customers residing outside of Collier County, Florida, the volatility of such deposits is higher than if such deposits were obtained from depositors residing inside of Collier County, as outside depositors are generally more likely to be interest rate sensitive. Brokered deposits are deposit instruments, such as certificates of deposit, deposit notes, bank investment contracts and certain municipal investment contracts that are issued through brokers and dealers who then offer and/or sell these deposit instruments to one or more investors. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had $3.0 million and $25.2 million, respectively, in brokered deposits in its portfolio. At December 31, 2009, management knew of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that (at that time) might result in or are reasonably expected to result in the Bank’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way in the foreseeable future.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had no capital; accordingly, risk-based capital computations are not meaningful.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do not engage in trading or hedging activities and do not invest in interest-rate derivatives or enter into interest-rate swaps. Our market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, we actively monitor and manage our interest-rate risk exposure. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Notes 1, 8, and 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and capital, while adjusting our asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. We rely primarily on our asset-liability structure to control interest-rate risk. See the section below titled Asset-Liability Structure. However, a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.
We use modeling techniques to simulate changes in net interest income under various rate scenarios. Important elements of these techniques include the mix of floating versus fixed-rate assets and liabilities, and the scheduled, as well as expected, repricing and maturing volumes and rates of the existing balance sheet.
25
Asset - Liability Structure
As part of our asset and liability structure we emphasize establishing and implementing internal asset-liability decision processes, as well as communications and control procedures to aid in managing our operations. We believe these processes and procedures provide us with better capital planning, asset mix and volume controls, loan-pricing guidelines, and deposit interest-rate guidelines which should result in tighter controls and less exposure to interest-rate risk.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest-rate sensitive” and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. The gap ratio is computed as rate sensitive assets/rate sensitive liabilities. A gap ratio of 1.0 represents perfect matching. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets exceeds interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest-rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income.
In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on the results of operations, we monitor asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Such policies have consisted primarily of: (i) emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate loans; (ii) building a stable core deposit base; and (iii) maintaining a significant portion of liquid assets (cash and short-term securities).
The following table sets forth certain information relating to our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2009, that are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within the period shown (dollars in thousands):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Of the $78.9 million of loans due after 2010, 26.9% of such loans have fixed-interest rates and 73.1% have adjustable interest rates.
Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is substantially less than their average contractual terms due to prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on loans generally give us the right to declare a conventional loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase; however, when current mortgage loan rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on existing mortgages are substantially higher than current mortgage loan rates.
Deposit and Other Source of Funds
General - In addition to deposits, the sources of funds available for lending and other business purposes include loan repayments. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are influenced significantly by general interest rates and money-market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources, such as deposits at less than projected levels.
Deposits - Deposits are attracted principally from our primary geographic market area in Marco Island, Florida. We offer a variety of deposit instruments including demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, money- market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificate accounts and retirement savings plans (such as IRA accounts). Certificate of deposit rates are set to encourage longer maturities as cost and market conditions will allow. Deposit account terms vary, with the primary differences being the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We set the deposit interest rates weekly based on a review of deposit flows for the previous week, a survey of rates among competitors and other financial institutions in Florida.
We have emphasized commercial banking relationships in an effort to increase demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits.

Results of Operations
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest income is determined by the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“interest-rate spread”) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic, and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, and deposit flows. In addition, our net losses are also affected by the level of nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate, as well as the level of noninterest income, and noninterest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs and income taxes.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yield; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (iii) net interest/dividend income; (iv) interest rate spread; (v) net interest margin (dollars in thousands).

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
General. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $18.3 million or a net loss of $5.53 per basic and diluted common share compared to net loss of $5.1 million or a net loss $1.67 per basic and diluted common share for 2008.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Interest income decreased primarily due to lower yields in the portfolio and a decrease in the average loans outstanding. Interest on other interest-earning assets decreased from $357,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $32,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, due to a decrease in the average yield and average balance in 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits decreased to $2.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.3 million in 2008. Interest expense in 2009 decreased due to a decrease in the average yields, which was partially offset by a small increase in average balances.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged against earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending we conduct, industry standards, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of our loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $6.0 million for 2008. The allowance for loan losses is $7.0 million at December 31, 2009. While management believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate as of December 31, 2009, future adjustments to our allowance for loan losses may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determination.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $207,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $833,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was mainly due to the addition of correspondent lending activity generating a gain on sale of loans held for sale of $574,000 and the sale of securities, which generated a gain of $82,000.
Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased to $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $6.0 million for 2008. Non-interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in other real estate owned expenses and write downs totaling $3.2 million in 2009 compared with $600,000 in 2008. Also, regulatory assessments increased $366,000 in 2009 over 2008.
Income Taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year, its estimate of future earnings, and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards, and determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the near term. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets resulting in a net charge to earnings of $5.0 million. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3.0 million for the year-end December 31, 2008.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc.
Marco Island, Florida:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marco Community Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the closing of Marco Community Bank in February 19, 2010 raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
At December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the Years Then Ended
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization. Marco Community Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Marco Community Bank (the “Bank”) and Commercial Lending Capital Corp. (“CLCC”) (formerly MCB Commercial Lending Corp.) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s only business activities were the operation of the Bank and CLCC. The Bank was a state (Florida) chartered commercial bank. The Bank offered a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its banking office located in Marco Island, Florida. The deposits of the Bank were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. CLCC was incorporated to provide commercial loans to customers that would otherwise seek financing elsewhere because of credit limit constraints. Effective December 31, 2008, CLCC’s operations were suspended due to economic conditions.
Subsequent Events.On February 19, 2010, the Bank was closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) was appointed as receiver of the Bank. Subsequent to the closure, Mutual of Omaha Bank, Nebraska (“Mutual of Omaha”) assumed all of the deposits of the Bank and purchased essentially all of the Bank’s assets in a transaction facilitated by the FDIC. On February 20, 2010, the one office of the Bank reopened as a branch of Mutual of Omaha.
The Company’s principal asset is the capital stock that it owns in the Bank, and, as a result of the closure of the Bank, the Company has minimal remaining tangible assets. As the owner of all of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company would be entitled to the net recoveries, if any, following the liquidation or sale of the Bank or its assets by the FDIC. However, at this time, the Company does not believe that any recovery will be realized.
Going Concern. The closing of the Bank on February 19, 2010 was due to continuing increases in nonperforming assets, declining net interest margin, continuing high levels of operating expenses related to the credit problems and eroding regulatory capital. The closing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management evaluated and was involved in on-going negotiations for all potential alternative sources of capital to meet the Bank’s capital requirements, including equity investors, a sale or merger of the Company or Bank and recapitalization opportunities but was unable to obtain capital to meet the Bank’s capital requirements resulting in the closure of the Bank.
Subsequent to the Bank’s closure, the Company began exploring methods of winding down its operations. Any ultimate distribution of assets will occur in accordance with Florida law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the terms of the Company’s outstanding series of Preferred Stock.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
Basis of Presentation.The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company, the Bank and CLCC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The following is a description of the significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company, which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the banking industry.
Use of Estimates. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, all of which mature within ninety days.
The Bank is required by law or regulation to maintain cash reserves, in accounts with other banks or in the vault. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank was required to maintain cash reserves in the amount of $216,000 and $255,000, respectively, with the Federal Reserve.
Securities. Securities may be classified as either trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from operations and reported in comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in operations as realized losses.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans Held for Sale.Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to operations. At December 31, 2009, fair value exceeded book value for loans held for sale. There were no loans held for sale as of December 31, 2008.
Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs.
Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on industry historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Continued. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and investor real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, residential, home equity loans, and lines of credit for impairment disclosures.
Other Real Estate Owned. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance or the fair value at the date of foreclosure less cost to sell establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Premises and Equipment. Land is stated at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, such as premises and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the assets can be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of long-lived assets is dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to maintain profitability, so as to be able to meet its obligations when they become due. In the opinion of management, based upon current information and projections, long-lived assets will be recovered over the period of benefit.

Transfer of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Income Taxes. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted recent accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.
The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2009, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
The Holding Company and the Bank file consolidated income tax returns. Income taxes are allocated proportionately to the Holding Company and the Bank as though separate income tax returns were filed.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments. In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of unused lines of credit and unfunded construction loans. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded.
Comprehensive Loss.Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net losses. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net losses, are components of comprehensive loss. The components of other comprehensive loss and related tax effects are as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Unrealized holding gains (losses) on available for sale securities | | $ | 200 | | | (9 | ) |

Net amount | | $ | 118 | | | (9 | ) |
| | | | | | | |
Advertising. The Company expenses all media advertising as incurred.
Fair Value Measurements. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes 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: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Fair Value Measurements, Continued.Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.
The following describes valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
Securities Available for Sale.Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities.
Impaired Loans.The Company’s impaired loans are normally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the lower of the Company’s net recorded investment in the loan or the fair market value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned.The Company’s other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value less estimated costs to sell. Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values estimates for other real estate owned are classified as Level 3.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
Securities. The fair value of securities are based on the framework established under GAAP for measuring fair value.
Loans. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate mortgage (e.g. one-to-four family residential), commercial real estate and commercial 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. Fair values for impaired loans are based on the framework established under GAAP for measuring fair value.
Loans Held for Sale.Fair values for loans held for sale are based on the framework established under GAAP for measuring fair value.
Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock.The carrying amounts approximate fair value.
Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Deposit Liabilities. The fair values disclosed for demand, savings, NOW and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
Repurchase Agreements.The carrying amounts of repurchase agreements approximate their fair values.
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
Loss Per Common Share.Loss per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options and convertible preferred stock are not considered dilutive securities for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 due to the net losses incurred by the Company.

Stock Compensation Plans. The Company measures the fair value of stock compensation based on the framework for measuring fair value and expenses the fair value of all stock options granted. The measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options is based on estimated fair values. Under the fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation in the statement of operations. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Recent Pronouncements.In 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the ASC is nonauthoritative. The Company’s policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.
In 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 166,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, (“SFAS No. 166”) (this SFAS was incorporated into the ASC on January 1, 2010) amending the accounting for the transfers of financial assets. This new standard enhances reporting about transfers of financial assets, including loan participations and securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. It also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The standard was effective January 1, 2010 and had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Pronouncements, Continued.In 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167,Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),(“SFAS No. 167”) (this SFAS was incorporated into the ASC on January 1, 2010) on how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The standard requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entity’s financial statements. The standard was effective January 1, 2010 and had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance that requires new disclosures about significant transfers in and/or out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and activity in Level 3 (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements). In addition, this guidance provides clarification of existing disclosure requirements about (a) level of disaggregation and (b) inputs and valuation techniques. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the disclosure requirements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition (ASU 2010-18,Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset). This guidance allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregate as a pool. Upon establishment of the pool, the pool becomes the unit of accounting. When loans are accounted for as a pool, the purchase discount is not allocated to individual loans; thus, all of the loans in the pool accrete at a single pool rate (based on cash flow projections for the pool). In addition, the impairment analysis also is performed on the pool as a whole as opposed to each individual loan. The update is effective in the first annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2009, the Company transferred securities with a book value of approximately $8,147,000 from the held to maturity category to the available for sale category at its then fair value resulting in unrealized gains of approximately $68,000, net of tax benefit. The net unrealized gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Due to this transfer, the Company is prohibited from classifying securities as held to maturity for a period of two years.

(7) Repurchase Agreements
The Company enters into repurchase agreements with customers. The agreements require the Company to pledge securities as collateral for borrowings under these agreements. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the outstanding balance of these repurchase agreements totaled approximately $118,000 and $931,000, respectively, and the Company pledged securities with a carrying value of approximately $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as collateral.
(8) Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are unused lines of credit and unfunded construction loans and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and unfunded construction loans is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year, its estimate of future earnings and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the near term. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset.
At December 31, 2009, the Company had Federal and Florida net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19.4 million and $24.0 million, respectively. These carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027.
The Company files U.S. and Florida income tax returns. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal or state and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2006.

(11) Stockholders’ Equity
The Company has issued ninety-six shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The shares have no voting rights, but have a liquidation preference value of $51,000 per share. Cash dividends are payable in arrears within the first ten days of each March and September. The dividends are not cumulative, are payable semiannually at an annual rate of $2,900 and are prorated for any partial period. At the Company’s discretion, on any dividend payment date occurring at least two years after issuance, each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible into 6,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that the Company may also convert the Series B Preferred Stock upon any changes in control.
On November 20, 2008, the Company commenced a private placement offering of units of its Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase common stock (“Warrants”). Each unit was comprised of: (1) one share of Series C Preferred Stock, which is convertible into 2,000 shares of common stock; and (ii) one Warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights, but does have a liquidation preference value of $7,500 per share. Semiannual cash dividends of $157.50 per share are payable in arrears and are not cumulative or payable at any time when the Bank would not be considered “well capitalized” or “adequately capitalized” after payment of such dividends. At December 31, 2009, 200 warrants to purchase common shares are outstanding. These warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $4.50 and $5.25 on or before December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The offering closed on February 28, 2009.
With respect to the Warrants, the fair value of approximately $354,000 was offset by a credit to additional paid-in capital. The fair value of the warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions: volatility of 72%, expected life of 1.5 years, and a risk free interest rate of 3.18%.
(12) Regulatory Matters
Banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid to the Holding Company and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Holding Company.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

(12) Regulatory Matters, Continued
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percents (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). At December 31, 2009, the Bank had no capital which resulted in the Florida Office of Financial Regulation closing the Bank on February 19, 2010 and the FDIC’s appointment as receiver.
To be categorized as adequately capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage percents as set forth in the table. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percents as of December 31, 2008 are also presented in the table ($ in thousands):

(13) Share-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has three stock option plans. The Employees’ Stock Option Plan is for the benefit of officers and other key employees of the Holding Company, the Bank and CLCC. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. These options have ten year terms and vest 20% a year over a five year period.

(13) Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued
The plans were amended in 2007 to increase the size of the three Company plans so that the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under all three Company plans is a collective amount equal to 15% of the common stock outstanding, up to a maximum of 1,500,000 shares.

(13) Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued
There were no options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there was $242,000 and $413,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested and recognized as compensation expense was $148,000 and $95,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and no income tax benefit was recognized.
The fair value of each option granted for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions ($ in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Weighted-average risk-free interest rate | | | 2.95 | % | | 3.61 | % |
Weighted-average dividend yield | | | — | % | | — | % |
Weighted-average expected stock volatility | | | 11.79 | % | | 41.93 | % |
Expected life in years | | | 6.5 years | | | 6.5 years | |
Per share weighted-average grant-date fair value of options issued during the period | | $ | 2.25 | | | 2.46 | |
| | | | | | | |
The Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any pattern based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to determine the estimated life of options issued subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk–free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

(14) Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARS”)
The Company grants SARS to certain officers. The rights allow the participants to receive a cash payment equal to the appreciation of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The term of the stock appreciation rights is ten years. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, 60,000 rights and 52,500 rights, respectively were outstanding. There was no expense for the SARS program in 2009 or 2008.
(15) Employee Benefit Plan
The Company offers a 401(k) plan to all employees electing to participate after meeting certain length-of-service requirements. The Company’s contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $18,000 and $33,000, respectively.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
Marco Community Bancorp, Inc. did not have any disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosures during 2009 or 2008.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that MCBI files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of December 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, MCBI’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Such internal controls over financial reporting were designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based upon our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls
We have made no significant changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
(d) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within MCBI have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors, and any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors, and more than 10% shareholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms which they file. During 2009, certain of our directors and executive officers who own our stock filed Form 3’s or Form 4’s with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information on these filings reflects the current ownership position of all such individuals. To the best of our knowledge, during 2009 all such filings by our officers and directors were made timely except for the following inadvertently late filings: Robert A. Marks (two Form 4s); Brooks C.B. Wood (one Form 4) and Timothy Truesdell (one Form 3).
Board of Directors Meetings
During the year ended December 31, 2009, MCBI’s Board of Directors held 10 meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and any committees on which he or she served. MCBI requires its Directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and, in 2009, all of our Directors were in attendance.
Committees of The Board of Directors
General
MCBI has five standing committees: the Audit Committee; the Corporate Governance Committee; the Executive Committee; the Nominating Committee; and the Strategic Planning Committee. The following table lists the members of each Committee and the number of meetings that were held.

Total Meetings in 2009 | | 5 | | 1 | | 5 | | 2 | | 1 |
(1) | As Chairman of the Board, Mr. Storm, Jr. is an ex officio member of each other committee. |
TheAudit Committee has adopted a formal charter, which was filed with the 2009 Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. Under its charter, the Committee reviews MCBI’s auditing, accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions, recommends our independent auditor, and reviews the auditor’s services. For further information regarding the Audit Committee, please see the Report of the Audit Committee below.
TheCorporate Governance Committee evaluates MCBI’s corporate policies and procedures, which includes periodically reviewing MCBI’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to determine if any recommended changes need to be made. Special emphasis is placed on compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and federal securities laws.
TheExecutive Committee has the authority of the Board of Directors when the Board is not in session. The Executive Committee may exercise all powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of MCBI under Florida law.
TheNominating Committee meets to evaluate director candidates for MCBI’s Board of Directors. The Board has determined that each member of the Committee is independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). This Committee, however, has not yet adopted a charter and does not have written procedures or a policy on the selection of nominees or the evaluation of shareholder recommendations. Until a charter and nominating procedures are put in place, the Committee will continue to make all such decisions on a case-by-case basis, in which it may consider the nominee’s business background, involvement in the community, prior banking experience, and involvement with the Bank. These are the same criteria used in evaluating candidates selected by the Board. Based on the Company’s size and marketing area, the Board believes these policies are appropriate for MCBI.
68
TheStrategic Planning Committee evaluates possible expansionary activities for MCBI, both in new lines of business and new market areas.

Executive Compensation
MCBI does not have a standing Compensation Committee and instead, the Board of Directors performs the functions that a Compensation Committee would otherwise perform. We believe that it is an advantage to MCBI to be able access and exploit the extensive background and experience of its directors in business, particularly in banking and finance, in evaluating and establishing executive compensation. We believe it is also appropriate for a Company this size to look to its Board of Directors as a whole in establishing executive compensation especially since any executive compensation that was established by a committee would likely come to the Board for approval. Director Stephen McLaughlin does not participate in discussions or decisions involving any compensation he receives and neither Richard E. Storm nor Richard Storm, Jr. participates in discussions and decisions related to compensation either of them receive.
69
In addition to reviewing competitive market values, the Board also examines the total compensation mix, pay-for-performance relationship, and how all elements, in the aggregate, comprise the executives’ total compensation package. The Board does not have a contractual arrangement with any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation.
The Board of Directors discusses and acts upon the recommendations of Mr. Richard Storm Jr., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder, with respect to the base salaries of the Named Executive Officers, other than himself. Mr. Storm, Jr. has historically recommended base salary increases by an amount that approximates a percentage range that is also applicable to the overall Company employee population, except for situations involving promotions and/or expanded responsibility. Mr. Storm, Jr. typically has the benefit of geographic and industry based compensation surveys when making his recommendations.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table
MCBI currently grants stock options under its 2002 Key Employee Stock Compensation Program. We believe MCBI’s long term interests are best advanced through stock option grants by aligning the interest of our executive officers with those of our other shareholders. All stock options are granted at the then-current fair market value of our common stock at the time of the effective date of the grant. The following tables set forth information concerning award grants to MCBI’s named executive officers for 2009. These awards listed below only consisted of stock option grants.
The following table provides information as of December 31, 2009, regarding the MCBI stock options that have been awarded to the named executive officers under MCBI’s Stock Program. The information listed below pertains to those stock options or portions thereof which have not yet been exercised and are currently outstanding.

Benefits
MCBI currently does not provide medical or related benefits to its officers or directors at the holding company level. Officers of our subsidiaries, however, are provided hospitalization, major medical, long-term disability insurance, dental insurance, and term life insurance under group plans with generally the same terms as are offered to all full-time employees.
Employee Stock Options
MCBI currently provides for the grant of stock option awards and limited rights awards to its and the Bank’s executive officers and other employees under the 2003 Employees’ Stock Option and Limited Rights Plan (“Plan”). An aggregate of fifteen percent of the total number of outstanding shares of MCBI common stock is reserved under the Plan and MCBI’s other two stock option plans together. Employees of MCBI or the Bank may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
Options granted under the Plan can be either “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are designed to result in beneficial tax treatment to the employee but no tax deduction to MCBI, or “compensatory stock options” which do not give the employee certain benefits of an incentive stock option, but will entitle MCBI to a tax deduction when the options are exercised.
The per share exercise price at which the shares of common stock may be purchased upon exercise of a granted option must be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock as of the date of grant. Fair Market Value of a share of common stock is determined as defined in the Plan.
At the discretion of the Board, limited rights may be granted in tandem with options granted under the Plan. Limited rights may only be exercised six months after the date of their grant and they will terminate upon the exercise or termination of the underlying option. A limited right entitles the holder thereof to a cash payment equal to the difference of the option exercise price and the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. However, limited rights may only be exercised upon a change in control, and when the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares on the day of exercise is greater than the exercise price of the related option.
The Board of Directors may set any vesting schedule for options granted under the Plan. All non-vested stock options and limited rights held under the Plan will be immediately canceled when the holder is terminated for “cause” (as that term is defined in the Plan). In the event of the death or disability of a participant, all options and limited rights held under the Plan, whether or not then exercisable, shall be exercisable (by the participant or his or her legal representative) for a period of 12 months following such death or disability. In the event a participant retires, any options or limited rights held under the Plan, whether or not then exercisable, shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such retirement.
Change in Control Agreements
MCBI and Marco Community Bank have entered into Change in Control Agreements with two Marco Community Bank employees. Pursuant to these agreements, if MCBI or Marco Community Bank undergo a Change in Control and the employees are terminated without Just Cause (as those terms are defined in the agreements), the employees shall receive one year’s severance pay. Additionally, the agreements prevent the employees from competing with the Bank for six months after termination of employment.
Share Appreciation Rights
During 2009, the Board of Directors granted Share Appreciation Rights to three executives under which the executives would receive cash bonuses at the beginning of a year if there was a rise in the share price during the previous year. The bonus is based on the increase in the price of a share from the previous year-end to the just ended year. That rise, if any, is multiplied by the number of Share Appreciation Rights for the portion of the year the rights were held. These rights expire ten years from their grant date. The rights will also terminate upon a change in control of MCBI and a final cash bonus would be paid based upon the difference between the share price at the end of the preceding year and the price paid per share for the shares acquired in the change in control.
71
Director Compensation
In 2009, neither MCBI nor its subsidiaries paid any cash or non-cash compensation to their directors.
At the 2004 Annual Meeting, the shareholders approved the 2003 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and Limited Rights Plan (“Directors’ Plan”) and amended it at the 2007 Annual Meeting. The following is a summary of the material features of the Directors’ Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Directors’ Plan, which was included with the 2004 Proxy Statement.
An aggregate of fifteen percent of the total number of outstanding shares of MCBI common stock is reserved under the Directors’ Plan and MCBI’s other two stock option plans together. The maximum number of shares an MCBI director may be granted options for is 11,250, the maximum number for a Bank director is 7,500. Each current MCBI and Bank director has already been granted those amounts of options. Any new directors that are elected or appointed to the Boards of MCBI, the Bank, or any subsidiary thereof, may be granted options to purchase shares of common stock, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.
The purpose of the Directors’ Plan is to promote the growth and profitability of MCBI and the Bank by providing outside directors with an incentive to achieve the long-term objectives of MCBI and Marco Community Bank. We believe that the Directors’ Plan will assist in our being able to attract and retain non-employee directors with outstanding competence at MCBI and Marco Community Bank, while at the same time, provide such outside directors with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in MCBI. The Directors’ Plan authorizes the granting of non-statutory stock options (options which do not qualify as incentive stock options). The shares of common stock used under the Directors’ Plan shall be from authorized and previously unissued shares.
The per share exercise price at which the shares of common stock may be purchased upon exercise of a granted option will be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock as of the Date of Grant, as those terms are defined in the Directors’ Plan.
At the discretion of the Board, limited rights may be granted in tandem with any options granted under the Director’s Plan. A limited right entitles the holder thereof to a cash payment equal to the difference of the option exercise price and the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. Limited rights may only be exercised six months after the date of their grant and will terminate upon the exercise or termination of their underlying option. However, the limited rights are only exercisable upon a change in control when the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares on the day of exercise is greater than the exercise price of the related option.
The Board may set any vesting schedule for options granted under the Directors’ Plan. All stock options and limited rights held under the Directors’ Plan will be immediately canceled when the holder is removed from the Board for “cause” (as that term is defined in the Directors’ Plan). In the event of the death or disability of a participant, all options and limited rights held under the Directors’ Plan, whether or not then exercisable, shall be fully vested and exercisable (by the participant or his or her legal representative) for a period of 12 months following such death or disability. In the event a participant retires from the Board, any options or limited rights held under the Directors’ Plan, whether or not then exercisable, shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days after such retirement.
ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS |
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
The following table contains information regarding the current beneficial ownership of MCBI common stock of each director, director nominee, non-director executive officer as of August 11, 2010. Collectively, these individuals own 34.33% of our outstanding common stock. To the best of our knowledge, Directors McLaughlin, Skone, and Storm, Jr. and Ms. Melanie J. Hanson (a former MCBI director) are the only beneficial owners of more than 5% of MCBI’s common stock. Ms. Hanson, c/o Marco Community Bank, 1770 San Marco Road, Marco Island, Florida 34145, owns 205,775 shares of common stock, or 6.39% of the outstanding shares.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Certain directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders (defined as individuals owning 5% or more of MCBI common stock) of MCBI are customers of, and have banking relations with, Marco Community Bank. We have a policy, however, of not making loans to our directors or executive officers. Therefore, as of December 31, 2009, neither MCBI nor its subsidiaries had any loans outstanding to its directors, executive officers, or principal shareholders.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that except for Stephen A. McLaughlin and Richard Storm, Jr., each member of the Board is an “independent director” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). The determination that Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Storm are not independent was based upon the fact that they serve as executives as well as directors of the Company.

ITEM 14. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES |
Audit Fees:The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Hacker, Johnson in connection with the audit of the annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in MCBI’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, were $42,500 and $42,500, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees: In 2008 and 2009, Hacker, Johnson did not bill MCBI for audit-related fees.
Tax Fees: Hacker, Johnson billed MCBI $4,000 in both 2008 and 2009, for tax compliance and advice, including the preparation of MCBI’s corporate tax returns.
All Other Fees:Excluding those fees described above, Hacker, Johnson did not bill MCBI in 2008 or 2009 for any other fees.
In all instances, Hacker, Johnson’s performance of these services was pre-approved by MCBI’s Audit Committee at a meeting thereof where all relevant facts were disclosed and discussed.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors believes that the members of the Audit Committee are all “Independent Directors” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) in that they have no relationships that would impair their abilities to objectively and impartially execute their duties.
The functions of the Audit Committee are focused on three areas:
| • | | The adequacy of MCBI’s internal controls and financial reporting process and the reliability of MCBI’s financial statements; |
| • | | The performance of MCBI’s internal auditors and the independence and performance of MCBI’s independent auditors; and |
| • | | MCBI’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. |
The Audit Committee has met periodically with management to consider the adequacy of MCBI’s internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. These matters were discussed with MCBI’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee also met with the independent auditors without management present. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the members of the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee also recommends to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors and periodically reviews their performance, fees, and independence from management.
No member of our Audit Committee has the requisite financial expertise to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Securities and Exchange Rules. The Board has determined that, given the size of our organization and the number of competitors in our marketplace, obtaining an “audit committee financial expert” who has the specific bank accounting experience to qualify as such, would be extremely difficult. However, the Board believes that all of our current Audit Committee members have a level of financial literacy and familiarity with banking operations to provide strong financial guidance to the Committee and MCBI, with the assistance of our independent auditors.
Management has primary responsibility for MCBI’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management and express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of MCBI in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and discuss with the Committee any issues they believe should be raised and addressed. The Audit Committee monitors these processes, relying without independent verification, on the information provided to the Audit Committee and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.
This year, the Audit Committee reviewed MCBI’s audited financial statements as of, and for, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and met with both management and MCBI’s independent auditors to discuss those financial statements. Management has represented to the Committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
74
The Audit Committee received from, and discussed with, MCBI’s independent auditors, Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A., the written disclosure and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence. These items relate to the independent auditor’s independence from MCBI. The Committee also discussed with Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. any matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61(Communication with Audit Committees).
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that MCBI’s audited financial statements be included in MCBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
