Exhibit 13
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in understanding the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IBERIABANK (the “Bank”), as well as all of the Bank’s subsidiaries, Iberia Financial Services LLC, Acadiana Holdings LLC, Jefferson Insurance Corporation, Finesco LLC and IBERIABANK Insurance Services LLC as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and for the years ended December 31, 2004 through 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, accompanying footnotes and supplemental financial data included herein.
Through the Bank, the Company offers commercial and retail products and services to customers throughout the state of Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Northeast Louisiana, LaPlace, Houma, and the Acadiana and Northshore regions of Louisiana.
OVERVIEW
The Company’s net income for 2006 totaled $35.7 million, or $3.57 per share on a diluted basis. This is a 59.3% increase compared to the $2.24 per share, or $22.0 million earned for 2005. 2005 net income was significantly decreased by the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
| · | | Total assets at December 31, 2006 were $3.2 billion, up $350.5 million, or 12.3%, from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Strong commercial loan growth accounted for the majority of the increase. Shareholders’ equity increased $56.0 million, or 21.2%, from $263.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $319.6 million at December 31, 2006. |
| · | | Total loans at December 31, 2006 were $2.2 billion, an increase of $315.5 million, or 16.4%, from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Commercial loans continue to be the primary driver of loan growth, climbing $288.3 million in 2006. |
| · | | Total customer deposits increased $179.6 million, or 8.0%, from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2005 to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2006. This growth was split between certificates of deposit, NOW accounts and savings and money market accounts. |
| · | | Net interest income for the year increased $6.7 million, or 7.9%, in 2006 versus 2005. This increase is largely attributable to a $60.0 million increase in average net earning assets. The corresponding net interest margin ratio on a tax-equivalent basis declined 12 basis points to 3.42% from 3.54% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the re-pricing of the Company’s assets and liabilities and rate competition across markets. |
| · | | Noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, or 10.3%, for 2006 as compared to 2005. The decrease was primarily driven by losses taken during the year on the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment and mortgage loan portfolios. These losses were partially offset by increases in broker commissions, ATM/debit card fees and net cash settlements on swaps. |
| · | | Noninterest expense increased by $8.7 million, or 13.5%, for 2006 as compared to 2005. The largest components of the increase were higher compensation expense as a result of additional staff related to the Company’s branch expansion initiative and strategic hires, higher occupancy and equipment costs due to the Company’s expansion, and merger-related expenses associated with the Company’s announced acquisitions of two Arkansas franchises. Noninterest expense in 2006 also includes a $1.0 million loss recorded on the early retirement of a portion of the Company’s long-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. |

| · | | The Company experienced exceptional credit quality in 2006. Net charge-offs for 2006 were $357,000, or 0.02%, of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $3.6 million, or 0.20%, a year earlier. The Company incurred $1.1 million in net charge-offs associated with Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As a result of improvements in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita-related credits and improving credit quality statistics, the Company recorded a negative provision for possible loan losses of $7.8 million during 2006, compared to a provision of $17.1 million in 2005. Of the $17.1 million provision in 2005, $14.4 million related to credits impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. As of December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.34%, compared to 1.98% at December 31, 2005. The coverage of nonperforming assets by the allowance for loan losses was 5.96 times at the end of 2006, as compared to 6.31 times at December 31, 2005. |
| · | | In September 2005, the Company announced a significant branch expansion initiative in response to client needs and opportunities presented by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Based on the expansion initiative, the Company planned to open twelve new banking facilities in existing markets and other Louisiana locations not previously served by the Company. Since announcing the initiative, the Company has opened ten new branches. Two branches were opened in the fourth quarter of 2005 and eight were opened during 2006. The estimated net after-tax cost of the branch expansion on diluted EPS was $0.19 for 2006 and $0.01 in 2005. The remaining two branches were opened in the first quarter of 2007. |
| · | | In July and August 2006, the Company announced merger agreements with Pocahontas Bancorp, Inc. and Pulaski Investment Corporation, respectively. These mergers were completed in the first quarter of 2007. |
| · | | During 2006, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $1.18 per common share, a 25% increase compared to 2005. |
| · | | In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a five-for-four stock split in the form of a 25% stock dividend. The dividend was paid on August 15, 2005 to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2005. As a result of the stock split, shareholders received one additional share for every four shares held. All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock split. |
The Company’s focus is that of a high performing institution. Management believes that improvement in core earnings drives shareholder value and has adopted a mission statement that is designed to provide guidance for management, our associates and Board of Directors regarding the sense of purpose and direction of the Company. We are very shareholder and client focused, expect high performance from our associates, believe in a strong sense of community and strive to make the Company a great place to work. Earnings guidance, based on expectations of the Company, is provided during the year through press releases, which are available on our website atwww.iberiabank.com. Such releases are also disclosed through Form 8-K current event filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) at www.sec.gov.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing financial reports, management is required to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. The accounting principles and methods used by the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and general banking practices. Estimates and assumptions most significant to the Company relate primarily to the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments and share based compensation. These significant estimates and assumptions are summarized in the following discussion and are further analyzed in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The determination of the allowance for loan losses, which represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the Company’s credit portfolio, involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The Company’s policy is to establish reserves for
2
estimated losses on delinquent and other problem loans when it is determined that losses are expected to be incurred on such loans. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on various factors, including an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, composition of the portfolio, the amount of the Company’s classified assets, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the status of past due principal and interest payments, and other relevant factors. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, see the Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses section of this analysis and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Purchase Accounting Adjustments
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” which requires the use of the purchase method of accounting. For purchase acquisitions, the Company is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques. The determination of the useful lives of intangible assets is subjective as is the appropriate amortization period for such intangible assets. In addition, purchase acquisitions typically result in recording goodwill. The Company performs a goodwill valuation at least annually. Impairment testing of goodwill is a two step process that first compares the fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount, and second measures impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Based on management’s goodwill impairment tests, there was no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2005 or 2006. For additional information on goodwill and intangible assets, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Share-based Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock option plans under the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, compensation expense relating to stock options had not been reflected in net income as the exercise price of the stock options granted equaled or exceeded the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. SFAS No. 123 required management to provide proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment.SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123 and calls for companies to expense the fair value of employee stock options and other forms of share-based compensation. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires companies to (1) use fair value to measure share-based compensation awards and (2) cease using the “intrinsic value” method of accounting. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value of a share-based compensation award is recognized over the employee’s service period.
Management utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. These subjective input assumptions materially affect the fair value estimate.
On December 30, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the immediate acceleration of vesting of all outstanding stock options awarded to employees, officers and directors. As a result of the acceleration, the Company recorded $470,000 of compensation expense in 2005.
For additional discussion of the Company’s stock options plans, sees Notes 1 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Earning Assets
Earning assets are composed of interest or dividend-bearing assets, including loans, securities, short-term investments and loans held for sale. Interest income associated with earning assets is the Company’s primary source of income. Earning assets averaged $2.8 billion during 2006, a $278.8 million, or 11.3%, increase compared to $2.5 billion during 2005. The increase is primarily the result of strong commercial loan growth.

The year-end mix of earning assets shown in the following chart reflects the mix between investment securities and the major loan groups.

Loans and Leases –The loan portfolio increased $315.5 million, or 16.4%, to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2006, compared to $1.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Commercial loan growth accounted for $288.3 million of the increase.
The Company’s loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 92.2% and 85.5%, respectively. The percentage of fixed rate loans to total loans increased from 70% at the end of 2005 to 72% as of December 31, 2006. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of December 31 for the years indicated.

Commercial Loans.Commercial real estate and commercial business loans generally have shorter repayment periods and more frequent repricing opportunities than residential 1-4 family loans. Commercial loans increased $288.3 million, or 31.2% during 2006. As illustrated in the table above, the Company’s focus has been on growing its commercial loan portfolio. This focus continued in 2006 as commercial loans as a percentage of total loans increased from 48.1% as of December 31, 2005 to 54.2% as of December 31, 2006.
The Company has increased its investment in commercial real estate loans from $545.9 million, or 28.5% of the total loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2005, to $750.1 million, or 33.6% of the total loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2006. The vast majority of properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate loans are located in the Company’s market areas, and include owner-occupied, multi-family, strip shopping centers, professional office buildings, small retail establishments and warehouses. The Company’s underwriting standards generally provide for loan terms of three to five years, with amortization schedules of no more than twenty years. Low loan-to-value ratios are maintained and usually limited to no more than 80%. In addition, the Company obtains personal guarantees of the principals as additional security for most commercial real estate loans.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s commercial business loans amounted to $461.0 million, or 20.6% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. This represents an $84.1 million, or 22.3% increase from December 31, 2005. The Company originates commercial business loans on a secured and, to a lesser extent, unsecured basis. The Company’s commercial business loans may be structured as term loans or revolving lines of credit. Term loans are generally structured with terms of no more than three to five years, with amortization schedules of no more than seven years. The Company’s commercial business term loans are generally secured by equipment, machinery or other corporate assets. The Company also provides for revolving lines of credit generally structured as advances upon perfected security interests in accounts receivable and inventory. Revolving lines of credit generally have an annual maturity. The Company obtains personal guarantees of the principals as additional security for most commercial business loans.
Mortgage Loans.Residential 1-4 family loans comprise most of the Company’s mortgage loans. The vast majority of the Company’s residential 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio is secured by properties located in its market areas and originated under terms and documentation which permit their sale in the secondary market. Larger mortgage loans of private banking clients and prospects are generally retained to enhance relationships, and also due to the expected shorter durations and relatively lower servicing costs associated with loans of this size. The Company does not originate or hold high loan to value, negative amortization, optional ARM, or other exotic mortgage loans in its portfolio.
The Company continues to sell the majority of conforming mortgage loan originations in the secondary market and recognize the associated fee income rather than assume the rate risk associated with these longer term assets. The Company also releases the servicing of these loans. Total residential mortgage loans increased $16.1 million compared to December 31, 2005. This growth is primarily related to credit extended to individuals in the Company’s new branches. Growth in this portfolio was tempered by the transfer of $30.4 million in lower rate loans to the mortgage loans held-for-sale portfolio during December 2006. At December 31, 2006, $393.8 million, or 82.6%, of the Company’s residential 1-4 family mortgage and construction loans were fixed rate loans and $83.1 million, or 17.4%, were adjustable rate loans.
Consumer Loans.The Company offers consumer loans in order to provide a full range of retail financial services to its customers. The Company originates substantially all of such loans in its primary market area. At December 31, 2006, $546.0 million, or 24.4% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, was comprised of consumer loans, compared to $535.0 million, or 27.9% at the end of 2005. Total consumer loans increased $11.1 million compared to December 31, 2005.
Home equity loans comprised the largest component of the Company’s consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 2006. The balance of home equity loans increased $3.5 million, or 1.5% from $230.4 million at December 31, 2005 to $233.9 million at December 31, 2006.
Indirect automobile loans comprised the second largest component of the Company’s consumer loan portfolio. Independent automobile dealerships originate these loans and forward applications to Company personnel for approval or denial. The Company
6
relies on the dealerships, in part, for loan qualifying information. To that extent, there is risk inherent in indirect automobile loans associated with fraud or negligence by the automobile dealership. To limit this risk, an emphasis is placed on established dealerships that have demonstrated reputable behavior, both within the communities we serve and through long-term relationships with the Company. The balance of indirect automobile loans decreased slightly, from $229.6 million, or 12.0% of the Company’s total loan portfolio to $228.3 million, or 10.2% at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively, as the Company retained its focus on prime, or low risk, paper.
The remainder of the consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 2006 was composed of direct automobile loans, credit card loans and other consumer loans. The Company’s direct automobile loans amounted to $24.2 million, or 1.1% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. The Company’s VISA and MasterCard credit card loans totaled $8.8 million, or 0.4% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at such date. The Company’s other personal consumer loans amounted to $50.8 million, or 2.3% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2006.
Loan Maturities.The following table sets forth the scheduled contractual maturities of the Company’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2006, unadjusted for scheduled principal reductions, prepayments or repricing opportunities. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity and overdraft loans are reported as due in one year or less. The average life of a loan may be substantially less than the contractual terms because of prepayments. As a result, scheduled contractual amortization of loans is not reflective of the expected term of the Company’s loan portfolio. Of the loans with maturities greater than one year, approximately 85% of the value of these loans bears a fixed rate of interest.

Asset Quality.Over time, the loan portfolio has transitioned to be more representative of a commercial bank. Accordingly, there is the potential for a higher level of return for investors, but also of the potential for higher charge-off and nonperforming levels. In recognition of this, management has tightened underwriting guidelines and procedures, adopted more conservative loan charge-off and nonaccrual guidelines, rewritten the loan policy and developed an internal loan review function. As a result of management’s enhancements to underwriting risk/return dynamics within the loan portfolio over time, the credit quality of the Company’s assets has remained strong. Management believes that historically it has recognized and disclosed significant problem loans quickly and taken prompt action in addressing material weaknesses in those credits. The Company will continue to monitor the risk adjusted level of return within the loan portfolio.
Written underwriting standards established by the Board of Directors and management govern the lending activities of the Company. The commercial credit department, in conjunction with senior lending personnel, underwrites all commercial business and commercial real estate loans. The Company provides centralized underwriting of all residential mortgage, construction and consumer loans. Established loan origination procedures require appropriate documentation including financial data and credit reports. For loans secured by real property, the Company generally requires property appraisals, title insurance or a title opinion, hazard insurance and flood insurance, where appropriate.
Loan payment performance is monitored and late charges are assessed on past due accounts. A centralized department collects delinquent loans. Every effort is made to minimize any potential loss, including instituting legal proceedings, as necessary. Commercial loans of the Company are periodically reviewed through a loan review process. All other loans are also subject to loan review through a periodic sampling process.
7
The Company utilizes an asset risk classification system in compliance with guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Board as part of its efforts to improve commercial asset quality. In connection with examinations of insured institutions, both federal and state examiners also have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values. An asset classified as loss is not considered collectable and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the Company is not warranted. Commercial loans with adverse classifications are reviewed by the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors at least monthly. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest for the current year is deducted from interest income. Prior year interest is charged-off to the allowance for loan losses.
At December 31, 2006, the Company had $10.7 million of assets classified as substandard, $921,000 of assets classified as doubtful, and no assets classified as loss. At such date, the aggregate of the Company’s classified assets amounted to 0.36% of total assets. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate of the Company’s classified assets amounted to 0.87% of total assets
Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) until sold, and is carried at the balance of the loan at the time of acquisition or at estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, whichever is less.
Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Company is required to account for certain loan modifications or restructurings as “troubled debt restructurings.” In general, the modification or restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring if the Company for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider under current market conditions. Debt restructurings or loan modifications for a borrower do not necessarily always constitute troubled debt restructurings, however, and troubled debt restructurings do not necessarily result in nonaccrual loans. The Company had no troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2006.
Nonperforming loans, defined for these purposes as nonaccrual loans plus accruing loans past due 90 days or more, totaled $3.0 million and $5.8 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company’s OREO, which includes foreclosed property, amounted to $2.0 million and $257,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. OREO increased $1.7 million as a result of the transfer of idle Company property previously included in bank premises into OREO. Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonperforming loans plus foreclosed property, were $5.0 million, or 0.16% of total assets at December 31, 2006, compared to $6.0 million, or 0.21% of total assets at December 31, 2005.
The Company has shown continuing improvement in asset quality despite significant loan growth over the past five years. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s nonperforming assets, including accruing loans past due 90 or more days, as of the dates indicated.

Allowance For Loan Losses.Based on facts and circumstances available, management of the Company believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at December 31, 2006 to cover any potential losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. However, future adjustments to this allowance may be necessary, and the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Losses in the loan portfolio, net of recoveries, are charged-off against the allowance and reduce the balance. Provisions for loan losses, which are charged against income, increase the allowance.
Given the significant commercial loan growth experienced by the Company over the past five years, the Company refined its loan loss methodology during 2006 to further reflect the transition in the loan portfolio from a savings bank (i.e., mortgage/consumer loan focus) to a commercial bank (i.e., commercial loan focus). This refinement resulted in more reserves being assigned to the commercial segment of the loan portfolio and previously unallocated reserves being assigned to the portfolio segments.
The allowance consists of the general reserve, qualitative economic factors and specific market risk components.
The foundation of the allowance for the Company’s commercial segment is the credit risk rating of each relationship within the portfolio. The credit risk of each borrower is assessed, and a risk grade is assigned to each. The portfolios are further segmented by facility or collateral ratings. The dual risk grade for each loan is determined by the relationship manager and other approving officers and changed from time to time to reflect an ongoing assessment of the risk. Grades are reviewed on specific loans by senior management and as part of the Company’s internal loan review process. The commercial loan loss allowance is determined for all pass-rated borrowers based upon the borrower risk rating, the expected default probabilities of each rating category, and the outstanding loan balances by risk grade. For borrowers rated special mention or below, the higher of the migration analysis and Company established minimum reserve percentages apply. In addition, consideration is given to historical loss experience by internal risk rating, current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or borrower concentrations within each portfolio segment, the current business strategy and credit process, loan underwriting criteria, loan workout procedures, and other pertinent information.
9
Specific reserves are determined for impaired commercial loans individually based on management’s evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources, and payment record; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and the realizable value of any collateral. Reserves are established for these loans based upon an estimate of probable losses for the individual loans deemed to be impaired. This estimate may consider all available evidence including the present value of the expected future cash flows and the fair value of collateral less disposal costs. Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the general reserve calculations described above to prevent duplicate reserves.
The foundation for the general consumer allowance is a detailed review of the loan portfolios and the performance of those portfolios. This review is accomplished by first segmenting the portfolio into homogenous pools. Residential mortgage loans, direct consumer loans, consumer home equity, indirect consumer loans, credit card, and the business banking portfolio each are considered separately. The historical performance of each of these pools is analyzed by examining the level of charge-offs over a specific period of time. The historical average charge-off level for each pool is updated annually and modified by a multiplier that represents the best judgment of management as to the length of time between an event of default and the associated loss.
In addition to this base analysis, the consumer portfolios are also analyzed for specific risks within each segment. The risk analysis considers the Company’s current strategy for each segment, the maturity of each segment, expansion into new markets, the deployment of newly developed products and any other significant factors impacting that segment. Current regional and national economic factors are an important dimension of the assessment and impact each portfolio segment. The general economic factors are evaluated and adjusted quarterly.
Loan portfolios tied to acquisitions made during the year are incorporated into the Company’s allowance process. If the acquisition has an impact on the level of exposure to a particular segment, industry or geographic market, this increase in exposure is factored into the allowance determination process. Generally, acquisitions have higher levels of risk of loss based on differences in credit culture and portfolio management practices. During 2005, the Company added $4.9 million to the allowance for loan losses as a result of the application of the Company’s allowance methodology on the American Horizons’ loan portfolio.
Atypical events may result in the development of a specific allowance methodology designed to capture the default and potential loss parameters caused by that event. Due to the unprecedented devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in August and September 2005, respectively, the Company performed an extensive review of the loan portfolios impacted by these storms. Immediately after each of these storms passed, the Company’s credit team began intense analysis of affected portfolios, client flood and property and casualty insurance coverage, impacts on sources of repayment and underlying collateral, and client payment probability. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded hurricane-related loan loss provisions of $12.8 million and $1.6 million in 2005 for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, respectively.
As a result of strong asset quality of the loan portfolio and improvements in outstanding credits in the hurricane-affected areas, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. All of the reserves established in 2005 for loans impacted by Hurricane Rita were reversed in 2006. Of the initial reserve for credits potentially impacted by Hurricane Katrina, approximately $6.2 million remained and was folded into the Company’s general loan loss reserves to account for the increased risk associated with the New Orleans market. The New Orleans market concerns relate specifically to the rebuild effort, particularly the reduced availability and increased costs of property insurance, as well as the decline in population within the New Orleans metropolitan area.
The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses and the percentage of the total amount of loans in each loan category listed as of the dates indicated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $29.9 million, or 1.34% and 993.7% of total loans and total nonperforming loans, respectively, at December 31, 2006 compared to 1.98% and 659.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2005.
Additional information on the allowance process is provided in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net charge-offs for 2006 were $357,000, or 0.02% of total average loans, down from $3.6 million, or 0.20% in 2005. The decrease in net charge-offs is a result of increased recoveries throughout the year. In addition, the Company recorded $1.1 million in charge-offs in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The following table sets forth the activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated.

Investment securities increased by an aggregate of $8.8 million, or 1.5%, from $572.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $581.4 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was due to purchases of investment securities amounting to $353.4 million, which was partially offset by $239.4 million from maturities, prepayments and calls, $109.3 million from sales of investment securities, $272,000 from the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, and an increase of $4.4 million in the market value of investment securities available for sale.
Funds generated as a result of sales and prepayments are used to fund loan growth and purchase other securities. During 2006, the Company sold $109.3 million of investment securities and recorded a $4.1 million loss on these sales. The securities sold had a weighted-average yield of 4.0% and were replaced with securities with a weighted-average yield of 5.1%.
The Company continues to monitor market conditions and take advantage of market opportunities with appropriate rate and risk return elements. Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements provides further information on the Company’s investment securities.
Short-term Investments –Short-term investments result from excess funds that fluctuate daily depending on the funding needs of the Company and are currently invested overnight in an interest-bearing deposit account at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Dallas, the total balance of which earns interest at the current FHLB discount rate. The balance in interest-bearing deposits at other institutions decreased $26.3 million, or 43.7%, from $60.1 million at December 31, 2005 to $33.9 million at December 31, 2006. The average rate on these funds during 2006 was 4.59%, compared to 3.20% during 2005.
12
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – Loans held for sale increased $43.8 million, or 416.2%, to $54.3 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in held for sale loans is primarily a result of the movement of $30.4 million in lower yielding adjustable rate loans from the mortgage portfolio in December 2006 as part of an agreement to sell those loans.
Loans held for sale have primarily been fixed rate single-family residential mortgage loans under contract to be sold in the secondary market. In most cases, loans in this category are sold within thirty days. Buyers generally have recourse to return a purchased loan to the Company under limited circumstances. Recourse conditions may include early payment default, breach of representations or warranties, and documentation deficiencies. During 2006, approximately 71% of total single-family mortgage originations of the Company were sold in the secondary market as compared to 81% in 2005.
Other Assets –The following table details the changes in other asset balances at the dates indicated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The $15.6 million decrease in cash and due from banks is the result of loan fundings. Loan growth exceeded deposit growth by $135.9 million in 2006.
The $16.0 million increase in premises and equipment was primarily the result of the land and building purchases associated with the Company’s branch expansion initiative. The Company opened eight full service branches and two loan production offices during 2006.
The $388,000 decrease in goodwill related to purchase accounting adjustments recorded on deferred tax assets associated with the American Horizons acquisition.
The $2.1 million increase in bank-owned life insurance is a result of the increase in earnings on the policies owned.
Funding Sources
Deposits obtained from clients in its primary market areas are the Company’s principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes. The Company attracts local deposit accounts by offering a wide variety of accounts, competitive interest rates and convenient branch office locations and service hours. Increasing core deposits through the development of client relationships is a continuing focus of the Company. Borrowings have become an increasingly important funding source as the Company has grown. Other funding sources include short-term and long-term borrowings, subordinated debt and shareholders’ equity. The following discussion highlights the major changes in the mix of deposits and other funding sources during 2006.
Deposits – The Company has been successful in raising deposits in the markets in which it has a presence and believes the increase to be the result of several factors including increased economic activity in the region due to the recovery from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, higher deposit rates and new branch locations. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s deposits at the dates indicated.

Borrowings and Debt– Advances from the FHLB of Dallas may be obtained by the Company upon the security of the common stock it owns in that bank and certain of its real estate loans and investment securities, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Such advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The level of short-term borrowings can fluctuate significantly on a daily basis depending on funding needs and the source of funds chosen to satisfy those needs. Total short-term borrowings increased $133.8 million, or 194.3%, to $202.6 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $68.8 million at December 31, 2005. The additional borrowings were needed to help fund loan growth. The Company’s short-term borrowings at December 31, 2006 were comprised of $100.0 million of advances from the FHLB of Dallas and $102.6 million of securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
The average amount of short-term borrowings in 2006 was $116.2 million, compared to $143.1 million in 2005. The weighted average rate on short-term borrowings was 4.25% at December 31, 2006, compared to 1.83% at December 31, 2005. For additional information regarding short-term borrowings, see Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s long-term borrowings decreased $13.2 million, or 5.3%, to $237.0 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $250.2 million at December 31, 2005. Late in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company prepaid FHLB debt totaling $11.4 million and recorded a loss of $1.0 million as a result of prepayment penalties on the debt.
The majority of the Company’s long-term borrowings, $129.3 million, were comprised of fixed-rate advances from the FHLB of Dallas which cannot be paid off without incurring substantial prepayment penalties.Remaining FHLB advances of $55.0 million consist of variable rate advances based on three-month LIBOR.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported net income of $35.7 million, $22.0 million and $27.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Earnings per share (“EPS”) on a diluted basis were $3.57 for 2006, $2.24 for 2005 and $3.01 for 2004. During 2006, interest income increased $30.0 million, interest expense increased $23.3 million, the provision for loan losses decreased $24.9 million, noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, noninterest expense increased $8.7 million and income tax expense increased $6.5 million. Cash earnings, defined as net income before the net of tax amortization of acquisition intangibles, amounted to $36.4 million, $22.8 million and $27.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in operating results are the results of operations of American Horizons from the acquisition date of January 31, 2005 and Alliance from the acquisition date of February 28, 2004.
Net Interest Income –Net interest income is the difference between interest realized on earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and is also the driver of core earnings. As such, it is subject to constant scrutiny by management. The rate of return and relative risk associated with earning assets are weighed to determine the appropriateness and mix of earning assets. Additionally, the need for lower cost funding sources is weighed against relationships with clients and future growth requirements. The Company’s average interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.99%, 3.23% and 3.40% during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company’s net interest margin on a taxable equivalent (TE) basis, which is net interest income (TE) as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.42%, 3.54% and 3.60% during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Net interest income increased $6.7 million, or 7.9%, in 2006 to $91.5 million compared to $84.8 million in 2005. This increase was due to a $30.0 million, or 22.2%, increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $23.3 million, or 46.2%, increase in interest expense. The improvement in net interest income was the result of increased volumes and an improved mix of earning assets and deposits. In addition, interest income was affected in the third quarter of 2006 when the Company recorded a pre-tax $1.4 million increase in commercial loan interest income associated with the accelerated loan discount accretion of a formerly impaired credit originated by American Horizons. Although earnings improved through increased net interest income, the related net interest spread and margin ratios compressed, driven in part by the rise in short-term interest rates and the associated repricing of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
16
In 2005, net interest income increased $10.2 million, or 13.6%, to $84.8 million compared to $74.6 million in 2004. This increase was due to a $26.7 million, or 24.6%, increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $16.5 million, or 48.7%, increase in interest expense.
The Company will continue to monitor investment opportunities and weigh the associated risk/return. Volume increases in earning assets and improvements in the mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are expected to improve net interest income, but may negatively impact the net interest margin ratio. The Company has engaged in interest rate swap transactions, which are a form of derivative financial instrument, to modify the net interest sensitivity to levels deemed to be appropriate. Through this instrument, interest rate risk is managed by hedging with an interest rate swap contract designed to pay fixed and receive floating interest. The interest rate swaps of the Company were executed to modify net interest sensitivity to levels deemed appropriate.
Average loans made up 74.5% of average earning assets as of December 31, 2006 as compared to 74.3% at December 31, 2005. Overall, average loans increased 11.7% in 2006. The increase in average loans was funded by increased customer deposits and short-term borrowings. Average investment securities made up 23.0% of average earning assets at December 31, 2006 compared to 23.2% at December 31, 2005. Average interest-bearing deposits made up 84.9% of average interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2006 compared to 82.0% at December 31, 2005. Average borrowings made up 15.1% of average interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2006 compared to 18.0% at December 31, 2005. Tables 13 and 14 further display the changes in net interest income.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income of the Company from earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rate; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest spread; and (v) net interest margin. Information is based on average daily balances during the indicated periods. Investment security market value adjustments and trade-date accounting adjustments are not considered to be earning assets and, as such, the net effect is included in nonearning assets. Tax equivalent (TE) yields are calculated using a marginal tax rate of 35%.

Interest income includes interest income earned on earning assets as well as applicable loan fees earned. Interest income that would have been earned on nonaccrual loans had they been on accrual status is not included in the data reported above.
Provision for Loan Losses– Management of the Company assesses the allowance for loan losses quarterly and will make provisions for loan losses as deemed appropriate in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Increases to the allowance for loan losses are achieved through provisions for loan losses that are charged against income. Adjustments to the allowance may also result from purchase accounting adjustments associated with loans acquired in mergers.
As a result of strong asset quality of the loan portfolio and improvements in outstanding credits in the hurricane-affected areas, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This compares to a $17.1 million provision in 2005. The 2005 provision included a loan loss provision of $14.4 million during the third quarter for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The provision for loan losses was $4.0 million in 2004. Net loan charge-offs were $357,000 for 2006 compared to $3.6 million for 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans, net of unearned income, was 1.34% at December 31, 2006, compared to 1.98% at year-end 2005. A discussion of credit quality can be found in the section on “Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” in this analysis.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $260,000 in 2006 primarily due to customer migration to deposit products with lower fees. Customers also incurred fewer account analysis fees in 2006.
ATM/debit card fee income increased $720,000 in 2006 due to increased usage and an expanding cardholder base.
Gain on sale of loans decreased $1.8 million in 2006 as a result of a loss of $1.1 million recorded in December on the transfer of a pool of lower-yielding mortgage loans into loans held for sale. The sale of these loans was completed in January 2007.Additionally, gains on the sale of mortgage loans were lower in 2006 as a result of reduced demand for mortgage refinancings and associated sales of these loans into the secondary market.
Gain on sale of assets decreased $727,000 in 2006. This decrease is primarily the result of gains on the sale of three excess properties during 2005. One of the properties was located in New Orleans, while the other two were located in Northeast Louisiana.
The Company’s loss on the sale of investments was $4.1 million in 2006, an increase from a minimal loss in 2005. The loss on the sale of investments was a result of the Company selling $109.3 million in investments during the year. The securities sold had a weighted-average yield of 4.0%. The proceeds from these sales were used to purchase investments with a weighted-average yield of 5.1%.
Broker commission income increased $1.6 million in 2006 as a result of Iberia Financial Services’ success in adding clients and increased transaction volume during the year.
Other noninterest income increased $1.6 million in 2006. Noninterest income benefited from the inclusion of $1.3 million in derivative gains on swaps and net cash settlements included in this line item. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company revised its method of accounting for interest rate swaps associated with its junior subordinated debt. The Company had previously accounted for these swaps using hedge accounting as prescribed by SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Under hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the swaps were recorded in Shareholders’ Equity. These fair value changes are now recorded in noninterest income. For additional information, see Notes 1 and 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other noninterest income also benefited from modest increases in other commission/fee categories.
Noninterest income increased $2.9 million from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in service charges due to increased volume related to the American Horizons acquisition and revenue enhancement initiatives, a $697,000 increase in ATM/debit card fees due to the expanded cardholder base attributable to the American Horizons acquisition and increased usage, a $316,000 increase in income from bank owned life insurance as the Company increased its average investment in bank owned life

insurance, $606,000 increase in gains on the sale of assets as the result of the sale of three excess properties, a $577,000 rise in broker commissions, a $259,000 payment received as a result of the conversion of the Company’s ownership interest in the PULSE EFT Association (“PULSE”) as a result of PULSE’s merger with Discover Financial Services and modest increases in several other noninterest income fee categories. Noninterest income was adversely impacted by a $297,000 decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market as refinance activity slowed and a $0.7 million decrease in gains on the sales of investments.
Noninterest Expense – The Company reported noninterest expense of $73.1 million in 2006 compared to $64.4 million for 2005. Ongoing attention to expense control is part of the Company’s corporate culture. However, the Company has embarked on a significant expansion initiative which includes new branches, acquisitions and product expansion. This expansion has caused increases in several components of noninterest expense. The following table illustrates the primary components of noninterest expense for the years indicated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Salaries and employee benefits increased $6.1 million in 2006 due to increased staffing associated with the Company’s branch expansion initiative, as well as several strategic hires made during 2006.
Occupancy and equipment and data processing expenses increased $1.1 million and $841,000, respectively, in 2006 primarily due to branch expansion and infrastructure improvements.
Franchise and shares tax decreased $170,000 in 2006 due to lower assessments of the tax. Both capital and income levels are key components of the Louisiana shares tax calculation.
Marketing and business development expense increased $358,000 in 2006 as the Company expanded advertising and business development programs in selected markets.
Other noninterest expenses increased $783,000 in 2006. The largest component of the increase was a $1.0 million prepayment penalty incurred to pay off $11.4 million in FHLB advances. The Company also incurred merger-related expenses of $394,000 in 2006 associated with the pending acquisitions of the Arkansas franchises. These increases were offset partially by a $236,000 decrease in legal and professional expenses, $176,000 in ATM/ debit card expenses, and $401,000 of non-recurring expenses associated with the hurricanes recorded in 2005.
Noninterest expense increased $9.5 million from 2004 to 2005 primarily due to an increase of $4.1 million in salaries and employee benefits due to increased staffing associated with the American Horizons acquisition and the Company’s branch expansion initiative. The Company also recorded $470,000 of compensation expense due to the immediate vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options on December 30, 2005. Other non-interest expense increased $2.1 million primarily due to one-time expenses associated with the integration and conversion of American Horizons, $401,000 of one-time expenses associated with damages and other costs resulting from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, a $537,000 increase in professional services, and a $389,000 increase in ATM/debit card expenses.
21
Income Taxes– For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred income tax expense of $14.0 million, $7.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 28.1%, 25.3% and 29.7% during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relates to variances in items that are non-taxable or non-deductible, primarily the effect of tax-exempt income, the non-deductibility of part of the amortization of acquisition intangibles, and various tax credits taken. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rates for 2006 is attributable to increased net income before taxes. The Company’s tax rate in 2005 included the effect of the third quarter net loss and the decrease in ESOP compensation expense, a large portion of which was not deductible for tax purposes. For more information, see Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Federal regulations impose minimum regulatory capital requirements on all institutions with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) imposes similar capital regulations on bank holding companies. Compliance with bank and bank holding company regulatory capital requirements, which include leverage and risk-based capital guidelines, are monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis. Under the risk-based capital method, a risk weight is assigned to balance sheet and off-balance sheet items based on regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2006, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital ratio requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.01%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.81% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.06%. At December 31, 2006, the Bank also exceeded all regulatory capital ratio requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 7.02%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 9.19% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.44`%.

In addition, the Company has junior subordinated debt totaling $52.7 million, which may be included in Tier 1 capital up to 25% of the total of the Company’s core capital elements, including the junior subordinated debt. For additional information, see Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
22
LIQUIDITY
The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company manages its liquidity with the objective of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. The primary sources of funds for the Company are deposits, borrowings, repayments and maturities of loans and investment securities, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as well as funds provided from operations. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2006 totaled $648.3 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company. Additionally, the majority of the investment security portfolio is classified by the Company as available-for-sale which provides the ability to liquidate securities as needed. Due to the relatively short planned duration of the investment security portfolio, the Company continues to experience significant cash flows on a normal basis.
While scheduled cash flows from the amortization and maturities of loans and securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments of loan and investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The FHLB of Dallas provides an additional source of liquidity to make funds available for general requirements and also to assist with the variability of less predictable funding sources. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $281.3 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Dallas. Additional advances available at December 31, 2006 from the FHLB of Dallas amounted to $487.6 million. The Company and the Bank also have various funding arrangements with commercial banks providing up to $80 million in the form of federal funds and other lines of credit. At December 31, 2006, there was no balance outstanding on these lines and all of the funding was available to the Company.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, the Company maintains a strategy of investing in various lending and investment security products. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments and fund loan commitments. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through its deposits as well as borrowings and anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its liquidity requirements.
ASSET/ LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK
The principal objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the appropriate level of risk given the Company’s business focus, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, establish prudent asset concentration guidelines and manage the risk consistent with Board approved guidelines. Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Company’s actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of the Senior Management Planning Committee. The Senior Management Planning Committee normally meets monthly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of the Company’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and interest rates. In connection therewith, the Senior Management Planning Committee generally reviews the Company’s liquidity, cash flow needs, maturities of investments, deposits, borrowings and capital position.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to control the effects that interest rate fluctuations have on net interest income and on the net present value of the Company’s earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management and the Board are responsible for managing interest rate risk and employing risk management policies that monitor and limit this exposure. Interest rate risk is measured using net interest income simulation and asset/liability net present value sensitivity analyses. The Company uses financial modeling to measure the impact of changes in interest rates on the net interest margin and predict market risk. Estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows and others. These analyses provide a range of potential impacts on net interest income and portfolio equity caused by interest rate movements.
23
Included in the modeling are instantaneous parallel rate shifts scenarios, which are utilized to establish exposure limits. These scenarios are known as “rate shocks” because all rates are modeled to change instantaneously by the indicated shock amount, rather than a gradual rate shift over a period of time that has traditionally been more realistic.
The Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that the Company remained essentially neutral in terms of interest rate sensitivity. However, management believes competitive deposit pricing pressures may make the Company slightly more liability sensitive than indicated by the model. Based on the Company’s interest rate risk model, the table below illustrates the impact of an immediate and sustained 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on net interest income:
| | |
Shift in Interest Rates (in bps) | | % Change in Projected Net Interest Income |
+200 | | 3.0% |
+100 | | 2.0 |
-100 | | 2.2 |
-200 | | 1.6 |
The impact of a flattening yield curve, as anticipated in the forward curve as of December 31, 2006, would approximate a 2.2% increase in net interest income. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not necessarily include certain actions that management may undertake to manage this risk in response to anticipated changes in interest rates.
The rate environment is a function of the monetary policy of the FRB. The principal tools of the FRB for implementing monetary policy are open market operations, or the purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities. The FRB’s objective for open market operations has varied over the years, but the focus has gradually shifted toward attaining a specified level of the federal funds rate to achieve the long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth. The federal funds rate is the basis for overnight funding and drives the short end of the yield curve. Longer maturities are influenced by FRB purchases and sales and also expectations of monetary policy going forward. The FRB began to increase the targeted level for the federal funds rate in June 2004 after reaching an all-time low of 1.00% in mid-2003. The targeted fed funds rate has increased four times by 25 basis points in 2006 meetings and ended the year at 5.25%. Although each FRB rate increase becomes more challenging to offset, the ability to delay deposit rate increases and less aggressive repricing of the maturing certificate of deposit portfolio has allowed the Company to offset the negative impact of recent FRB rate movements. Although management believes that the Company is not significantly affected by changes in interest rates over an extended period of time, the continued flattening of the yield curve will exert downward pressure on the net interest margin and net interest income. Under traditional measures of interest rate gap positions, the Company is slightly liability sensitive in the short-term.
As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company has emphasized the origination of commercial and consumer loans, which typically have shorter terms than residential mortgage loans and/or adjustable or variable rates of interest. The majority of fixed-rate, long-term residential loans are sold in the secondary market to avoid assumption of the rate risk associated with longer duration assets in the current low rate environment. As of December 31, 2006, $634.0 million, or 28.4%, of the Company’s total loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates. The Bank has no significant concentration to any single loan component or industry segment.
The Company’s strategy with respect to liabilities in recent periods has been to emphasize transaction accounts, particularly noninterest or low interest-bearing transaction accounts, which are not sensitive to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2006, 64.9% of the Company’s deposits were in transaction and limited-transaction accounts, compared to 66.0% at December 31, 2005. Noninterest bearing transaction accounts totaled 14.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2006, compared to 15.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2005.
24
As part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy, off-balance sheet derivatives may also be used as an efficient way to modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities. Management may from time to time engage in interest rate swaps to effectively manage interest rate risk. The interest rate swaps of the Company were executed to modify net interest sensitivity to levels deemed appropriate.
OTHER OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to a number of activities that contain credit, market and operational risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Such activities include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, commitments under operating leases and long-term debt. The Company provides customers with off-balance sheet credit support through loan commitments, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Many of the unused commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially used; therefore, the total amount of unused commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company anticipates it will continue to have sufficient funds together with available borrowings to meet its current commitments. At December 31, 2006, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $31.9 million. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit, including credit card lines, amounted to $539.2 million. Included in these totals are commercial commitments amounting to $395.5 million as shown in the following table.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, the majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Although fluctuations in interest rates are neither completely predictable nor controllable, the Company regularly monitors its interest rate position and oversees its financial risk management by establishing policies and operating limits. 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. Although not as critical to the banking industry as to other industries, inflationary factors may have some impact on the Company’s growth, earnings, total assets and capital levels. Management does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in 2007.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Board of Directors of
IBERIABANK Corporation
The management of IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework.Based on our assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent auditors have issued an audit report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
IBERIABANK Corporation
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanyingManagement Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that IBERIABANK Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). IBERIABANK Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process 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. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that IBERIABANK Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, IBERIABANK Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of IBERIABANK Corporation and Subsidiary, and our report dated February 16, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IBERIABANK (the “Bank”), as well as all of the Bank’s subsidiaries, Iberia Financial Services LLC, Acadiana Holdings LLC, Jefferson Insurance Corporation, Finesco LLC and IBERIABANK Insurance Services LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The Company is a Louisiana corporation that has historically served as the bank holding company for the Bank, a Louisiana chartered state commercial bank. Through the Bank, the Company offers commercial and retail products and services to customers throughout the state of Louisiana, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Northeast Louisiana, LaPlace, Houma, and the Acadiana and Northshore regions of Louisiana. Management of the Company monitors the revenue streams of the various products, services and markets; however, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Because the overall banking operations comprise substantially all of the consolidated operations, no separate segment disclosures are presented.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments and share based compensation.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS: Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within the State of Louisiana. The Company’s lending activity is concentrated in the Company’s five primary market areas in Louisiana. The Company in recent years has emphasized originations of commercial loans and private banking loans. Repayment of loans is expected to come from cash flows of the borrower. Losses are limited by the value of the collateral upon default of the borrowers. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash, interest-bearing deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits at other financial institutions with maturities less than one year. The Bank may be required to maintain average balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Bank had no required reserve balance.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods approximating the interest method. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Declines in the value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other than temporary impairment losses, management considers 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. Gains/losses on securities sold are recorded on the trade date, using the specific identification method.
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE: 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 income. Loans held for sale have primarily been fixed rate single-family residential mortgage loans under contract to be sold in the secondary market. In most cases, loans in this category are sold within thirty days. These loans are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights released.
36
Buyers generally have recourse to return a purchased loan to the Company under limited circumstances. Recourse conditions may include early payment default, breach of representations or warranties, and documentation deficiencies.
LOANS: The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees and unearned discounts. Deferred loan origination fees were $2,612,000 and $1,941,000 and deferred loan expenses totaled $4,090,000 and $3,534,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition to loans issued in the normal course of business, the Company considers overdrafts on customer deposit accounts to be loans and reclassifies these overdrafts as loans in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, $1,111,000 and $1,362,000, respectively, have been reclassified to loans receivable.
Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based on the principal balance outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield, using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Mortgage, credit card and other personal loans are typically charged off to net collateral value, less cost to sell, no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of loans. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
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. The impairment loss is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction 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.
In general, 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 method or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all 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 charged to earnings. 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. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. Changes in the allowance related to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The Company utilizes both peer group analysis, as well as an historical analysis of the Company’s portfolio to validate the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In addition to these objective criteria, the Company subjectively assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses with consideration given to current economic conditions, changes to loan policies, the volume and type of lending, composition of the portfolio, the level of classified and criticized credits, seasoning of the loan portfolio, payment status and other factors.
37
LOAN SERVICING: Mortgage servicing rights are recognized on loans sold where the institution retains the servicing rights. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that all derivatives be recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value.
The Company may enter into derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risk or to meet the financing needs of its customers.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed rate (cash flow hedge). Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based is not exchanged.
For derivatives designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or liability (fair value hedge), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting gain or loss to the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. Earnings will be affected to the extent to which the hedge is not effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. For derivatives designated as hedging exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge), the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedge is terminated. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately.
In applying hedge accounting for derivatives, the Company establishes a method for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and a measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge upon the inception of the hedge. These methods are consistent with the Company’s approach to managing risk.
During the third quarter of 2006, the Company revised its method of accounting for interest rate swaps associated with junior subordinated debt. At the time the Company entered into the interest rate swaps, it conducted a detailed analysis of the appropriate accounting method. The Company determined that based upon SFAS No. 133 guidance available at the time, the “short-cut” method was an appropriate accounting method because the terms of the interest rate swaps and the corresponding debt matched and, as a result, the Company assumed no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships. In light of recent technical interpretations of SFAS No. 133, the Company has determined that the swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting under the short-cut method. Accordingly, the Company revised its method of accounting for the swaps, and changes in the fair value of these swaps are now recorded as noninterest income. The Company evaluated the impact of applying the change in fair value of these swaps compared to the short-cut method used under hedge accounting and concluded that the impact was not material to prior annual or quarterly periods. Accordingly, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment for derivative gains on swaps totaling $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2006, which is included in Trading gains and settlements on swaps in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Of this cumulative adjustment, $271,000 ($176,000 after tax), relates to the first and second quarters of 2006 and $1,021,000 ($663,000 after tax) relates to periods prior to 2006. In addition, $0.4 million in net cash swap settlements since the beginning of 2006, which were previously reported in interest expense, were reported in noninterest income in the third quarter of 2006, which is included in Trading gains and settlements on swaps in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Earnings include the increase or decrease in fair value of these derivative instruments.
38
Rate Lock Commitments
The Company enters into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the prospective loan is determined prior to funding (“rate lock commitments”). Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. Accordingly, such commitments, along with any related fees received from potential borrowers, are recorded at fair value as derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in net gain or loss on sale of mortgage loans. The fair value of rate lock commitments was immaterial in 2006 and 2005.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years for buildings and 5 to 15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
OTHER REAL ESTATE:Other real estate includes all real estate, other than bank premises, owned or controlled by the bank, including real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Revenue and expenses from operations, gain or loss on sale and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets. Real estate owned and foreclosed property totaled $2,008,000 and $257,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There was no allowance for losses on foreclosed property at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
GOODWILL: Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and accordingly is not amortized but is evaluated at least annually for impairment.
TRANSFERS 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: The Company and all subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar year basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS: The Company issues stock options under various plans to directors, officers and other key employees. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for its options under SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payments (see Note 15). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company has adopted a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. As a result, compensation expense relating to stock options is reflected in net income as part of “Salaries and employee benefits” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company’s practice has been to grant options at no less than the fair market value of the stock at the grant date.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company had accounted for stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby no compensation cost is recognized for stock options with no intrinsic value, defined as the difference between the Company’s market price of its stock at the option grant date and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. No compensation cost was recognized for intrinsic value during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. In 2005, $470,000 in compensation expense was incurred as a result of accelerated vesting of outstanding unvested option awards.

See Note 15 for additional information on the Company’s stock compensation plans.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock, and are determined using the treasury stock method.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. 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 balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
SEGMENT INFORMATION: SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires the reporting of information about a company’s operating segments using a “management approach.” The Statement requires that reportable segments be identified based upon those revenue-producing components for which separate financial information is produced internally and are subject to evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources to segments.
The Company has evaluated its potential operating segments against the criteria specified in the Statement and has determined that no operating segment disclosures are required in 2006, 2005, or 2004.
EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,(“SFAS No. 155”). SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
40
In December 2005, the FASB issued FSP 94-6-1,Terms of Loan Products That May Give Rise to a Concentration of Credit Risk. FSP defines in what circumstances the terms of loan products give rise to a concentration of credit risk and provides disclosure guidance and accounting considerations for entities that originate, hold, guarantee, service, or invest in loan products whose terms may give rise to a concentration of credit risk. Adoption of FSP 94-6-1 had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of SFAS No. 140.SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in selected situations; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose either the amortization or fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under SFAS No. 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. The Interpretation also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognition in financial statements of the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. FIN 48 prescribes that a company should use a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the tax position taken. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold should be measured in order to determine the tax benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2006. The Company anticipates that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurement.SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings, and applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.The Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company does not have a defined benefit pension plan or other plan subject to the Statement and thus the standard will have no effect on the result of operations and financial condition of the Company.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 provides the Company with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate reporting between companies. The fair value option established by this
41
Statement permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company shall then report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the classifications adopted for reporting in 2006.

Securities with carrying values of $488,592,000 and $409,668,000 were pledged to secure public deposits and other borrowings at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, 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. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As of December 31, 2006, management’s assessment concluded that no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2006, 211 debt securities have unrealized losses of 1.6% of the securities’ amortized cost basis and 1.2% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses for each of the 211 securities relate principally to market interest rate changes. 168 of the 211 securities have been in a continuous loss position for over twelve months. The 168 securities were primarily issued by either Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or by state and political subdivisions (Municipals) and are rated AAA or Aaa by Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s, respectively. The securities have an aggregate amortized cost basis and unrealized loss of $300,019,000 and $6,438,000, respectively. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
At December 31, 2005, 198 securities have unrealized losses of 2.1% of the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses for each of the 198 securities relate principally to market interest rate changes. 72 of the 198 securities have been in a continuous loss position for over twelve months. The 72 securities were primarily issued by either Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) and are rated AAA or Aaa by Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s, respectively. The 72 securities have an aggregate amortized cost basis and unrealized loss of $219,273,000 and $7,010,000, respectively. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as impaired.
The Company acquires loans individually and in groups or portfolios. Under AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, for certain acquired loans that have experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the Company’s acquisition of the loans, the amount paid for a loan reflects the Company’s determination that it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. At acquisition, the Company reviews each loan to determine whether there is evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to loan’s contractual terms. If both conditions exist, the Company determines whether each such loan is to be accounted for individually or whether such loans will be assembled into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics. The Company considers expected prepayments and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each loan and subsequently aggregated pool of loans. The Company determines the excess of the loan’s or pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected at acquisition as an amount that should not be accreted (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loan’s or pool’s cash flows expected to be collected over the amount paid, is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield).
Over the life of the loan or pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The Company evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of its loans determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and if so, recognizes a loss. For any remaining increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan’s or pool’s remaining life.
During 2005, the Company acquired certain impaired loans through the American Horizons acquisition which are subject to SOP 03-3. The Company’s valuation allowances for all acquired loans subject to SOP 03-3 would reflect only those losses incurred after acquisition. As of December 31, 2006, there was no valuation allowance associated with the remaining loan subject to SOP 03-3. The carrying value of this loan is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable as December 31. The carrying value of the loan was $49,000 at December 31, 2006.
The following is a summary of the loans acquired in the American Horizons acquisition during 2005, as well as the changes in the accretable yields of those loans during 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 11 – ON-BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:
The Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements and rate lock agreements, which derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.
Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated over-the-counter (OTC) contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
Notional amount | | $ | 134,516 | | | $ | 63,650 | |
Weighted average pay rate | | | 4.8 | % | | | 4.1 | % |
Weighted average receive rate | | | 5.2 | % | | | 3.5 | % |
Weighted average maturity in years | | | 5.8 | | | | 4.6 | |
Unrealized gain (loss) relating to interest rate swaps | | $ | 270 | | | $ | 1,093 | |
No interest rate swap agreements were terminated prior to maturity in 2006. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts subsequently are reclassified into interest income and interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings. As a result of these interest rate swaps, interest expense was decreased by $87,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and increased by $389,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Net cash settlements received on interest rate swaps not qualifying for hedge accounting in 2006 amounted to $527,000 and are reported in noninterest income.
Risk management results for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 related to the balance sheet hedging of long-term debt indicate that the hedges were 100% effective and that there was no component of the derivative instruments’ gain or loss which was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

NOTE 14 – CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS:
The Company on a consolidated basis and the Bank are 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 financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and 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. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are also presented in the table.

NOTE 15 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
The Company has various types of share-based compensation plans. These plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which selects persons eligible to receive awards and determines the number of shares and/or options subject to each award, the terms, conditions and other provisions of the awards.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN: In 1995, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of all eligible employees of the Bank. During 2005, the ESOP was fully funded and the plan was merged into the Company’s 401(k) plan. The leveraged ESOP was accounted for in accordance with SOP 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.
There was no cost related to the ESOP during 2006. Compensation cost related to the ESOP for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $530,000 and $2,221,000, respectively. The fair value of the unearned ESOP shares, using the closing quoted market price per share at year end was approximately $686,000 at December 31, 2004. There were no unearned ESOP shares outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. A summary of the ESOP share allocation as of December 31 of the year indicated is as follows:
56
| | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | | 2004 | |
Shares allocated beginning of year | | 484,974 | | | 477,301 | |

Unreleased shares | | — | | | 12,923 | |
| | | | | | |
Total ESOP shares | | — | | | 497,897 | |
| | | | | | |
STOCK OPTION PLANS:The Company issues stock options under various plans to directors, officers and other key employees. The option exercise price cannot be less than the fair value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant and the maximum option term cannot exceed ten years. The stock options granted were issued with vesting periods ranging from one-and-a half to seven years. At December 31, 2006, future awards of 470,275 shares could be made under the stock option plans.
The stock option plans also permit the granting of Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”). SARs entitle the holder to receive, in the form of cash or stock, the increase in the fair value of Company stock from the date of grant to the date of exercise. No SARs have been issued under the plans.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) utilizing the modified prospective method. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (the intrinsic value method), and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, except for the compensation expense resulting from the acceleration of vesting discussed below.
On December 30, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the immediate vesting of all outstanding unvested stock options awarded to employees, officers and directors outstanding as of that date. As a result of the accelerated vesting, the Company recorded $470,000 of compensation expense in 2005.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included $237,000 of compensation costs and $83,000 of income tax benefits related to stock options granted under share-based compensation arrangements. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.02 for the year ended December 31, 2006. There would have been no effect on net income or earnings per share under APB Opinion No. 25.
The Company reported $3,112,000 of excess tax benefits as financing cash inflows during the year ended December 31, 2006 related to the exercise and vesting of share-based compensation grants. Since the Company selected the modified prospective transition method, 2005 cash flows have not been restated. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $3,282,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Year Ended December 31, | |
| 2006 | | | 2005 | | | 2004 | |
Expected dividends | | | 2.0 | % | | | 2.0 | % | | | 1.8 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 24.7 | % | | | 24.1 | % | | | 19.1 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.7 | % | | | 4.3 | % | | | 4.0 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 7.0 | | | | 7.0 | | | | 7.0 | |
Weighted-average grant-date fair value | | $ | 16.56 | | | $ | 14.28 | | | $ | 11.58 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
57
The assumptions above are based on multiple factors, including historical stock option exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behaviors, expected future exercise patterns and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price.
At December 31, 2006, there was $2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 6.3 years.

Shares reserved for future stock option grants to employees and directors under existing plans were 470,275 at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of shares underlying outstanding stock options and underlying exercisable stock options was $38.2 and $38.1 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
58
RESTRICTED STOCK PLANS: The Company issues restricted stock under various plans for certain officers and directors. A supplemental stock benefit plan adopted in 1999 and the 2001 and 2005 Incentive Plans also allow grants of restricted stock. The cost of the shares of restricted stock awarded under these plans is recorded as unearned compensation, a contra equity account. The fair value of the shares on the date of award is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period, which is generally seven years. The holders of the restricted stock receive dividends and have the right to vote the shares. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the amount included in compensation expense that was included in noninterest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income was $2,912,000, $1,824,000, and $1,113,000, respectively. Additional restricted stock awards may be issued through the 2001 and 2005 Incentive Compensation Plans. The weighted average grant date fair value of the restricted stock granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $57.90, $48.85, and $46.12, respectively.
The share-based compensation plans allow for the issuance of restricted stock awards that may not be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The unearned share-based compensation related to these awards is being amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period (generally three to seven years). The share-based compensation expense for these awards was determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant applied to the total number of shares granted amortized over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2006, unearned share-based compensation associated with these awards totaled $13,371,000. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company was required to change its policy from recognizing forfeitures as they occur to one where expense is recognized based on expectations of the awards that will vest over the requisite service period. This change had an immaterial cumulative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The following table represents restricted stock award activity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively:

401 (K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN: The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all of its employees. Annual employer contributions to the plan are set by the Board of Directors. No contributions were made by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. The Plan provides, among other things, that participants in the Plan be able to direct the investment of their account balances within the Profit Sharing Plan into alternative investment funds. Participant deferrals under the salary reduction election may be matched by the employer based on a percentage to be determined annually by the employer.
NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to executive officers and directors and their affiliates amounting to $1,934,000 and $628,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2006, total principal additions were $1,494,000 and total principal payments were $188,000. Unfunded commitments to executive officers and directors and their affiliates totaled $1,622,000 and $251,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
59
Deposits from related parties held by the Company through the Bank at December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $995,000 and $2,100,000, respectively.
NOTE 17 – OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES:
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 and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The same credit policies are used in these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties is represented by the contractual amount of the financial instruments. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was $225,000. This amount represents the unamortized fee associated with these guarantees and is included in the consolidated balance sheet of the Company. This fair value will decrease over time as the existing commercial and standby letters of credit approach their expiration dates.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had the following financial instruments outstanding, whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
| | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | Contract Amount |
| 2006 | | 2005 |
Commitments to grant loans | | $ | 31,933 | | $ | 48,482 |
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | | | 539,212 | | | 397,568 |
Commercial and standby letters of credit | | | 22,464 | | | 13,241 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
60
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value.
Investment Securities: Fair value equals quoted market prices and dealer quotes.
Loans: The fair value of mortgage loans receivable was estimated based on present values using entry-value rates at December 31, 2006 and 2005, weighted for varying maturity dates. Other loans receivable were valued based on present values using entry-value interest rates at December 31, 2006 and 2005 applicable to each category of loans. Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
Deposits: The fair value of NOW accounts, money market deposits and savings accounts was the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Certificates of deposit were valued using a weighted average rate calculated based upon rates at December 31, 2006 and 2005 for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.
Long-term Debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Derivative Instruments:Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts.
Off-Balance Sheet Items: The Company has outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These off-balance sheet financial instruments are generally exercisable at the market rate prevailing at the date the underlying transaction will be completed. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was immaterial.
The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
(dollars in thousands) | | December 31, 2006 | | December 31, 2005 |
| Carrying Amount | | Fair Value | | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value |

Deposits | | $ | 2,422,582 | | $ | 2,421,877 | | $ | 2,242,956 | | $ | 2,237,494 |
Short-term borrowings | | | 202,605 | | | 202,591 | | | 68,849 | | | 68,849 |
Long-term debt | | | 236,997 | | | 236,880 | | | 250,212 | | | 254,583 |
Derivative instruments | | | 68 | | | 68 | | | 369 | | | 369 |
The fair value estimates presented herein are based upon pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
