BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for TIB Financial Corporation (the "Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997. The consolidated statements include the accounts of TIB Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TIB Bank of the Keys, collectively known as the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported on have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. NOTE 2 - LOANS Loans are reported at the gross amount outstanding, reduced by net deferred loan fees and a valuation allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is recognized over the terms of the loans based on the unpaid daily principal amount outstanding. If the collectibility of interest appears doubtful, the accrual thereof is discontinued. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized as income over the life of the related loan on a level-yield basis. Gains on sales of government guaranteed loans are recognized as income when the sale occurs. Major classifications of loans are as follows: March 31, 1998 December 31, 1997 ---------------------- ----------------------- Commercial, financial and agricultural $123,227,419 $123,787,065 Real estate - construction 9,003,073 10,010,565 Real estate - individual 45,501,999 42,598,799 Installment and simple interest individual 10,008,583 9,695,260 Other 93,625 186,905 ------------ ------------ Total loans 187,834,699 186,278,594 Net deferred loan fees 517,772 532,491 ============ ============ Loans, net of deferred loan fees $187,316,927 $185,746,103 ============ ============ NOTE 3 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance represents an amount which, in management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Management's judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay, overall portfolio quality and review of specific problem loans. Periodic revisions are made to the allowance when circumstances which necessitate such revisions become known. Recognized losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses, while subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. 7 Activity in the allowance of loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 follows: 1998 1997 ----------- ----------- Balance, January 1 $ 2,201,974 $ 1,929,719 Provision charged to expense 90,000 75,000 Loans charged off (21,210) (3,756) Recoveries of loans previously charged off 2,493 152 =========== =========== Balance, March 31 $ 2,273,257 $ 2,001,115 =========== =========== NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES Securities available-for-sale are securities which management believes may be sold prior to maturity for liquidity or other reasons and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMMON STOCK Basic earnings per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. A 3 for 1 stock split was declared on February 25, 1997 and has been treated retroactively as occurring on January 1, 1997, for earnings per share computation purposes. The reconciliation of basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share is as follows: Net Earnings Common Shares Per Share Amount --------------------------------------------------------- For the three months ended March 31, 1998: Basic earnings per common share $825,056 4,384,946 $.19 Effect of dilutive stock options -- 239,855 (.01) --------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per common share $825,056 4,624,801 $.18 ========================================================= For the three months ended March 31, 1997: Basic earnings per common share $785,862 4,336,394 $.18 Effect of dilutive stock options -- 183,861 (.01) --------------------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per common share $785,862 4,520,255 $.17 ========================================================= NOTE 6 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Under the Bank's 1994 Incentive Stock Option and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"), the Company may grant stock options to persons who are now or who during the term of the Plan become directors, officers, or key executives as defined by the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan may either be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for federal income tax purposes. The Board of Directors of the Company may grant nonqualified stock options to any director, and incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to any officer, key executive, administrative, or other employee including an employee who is a director of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be optioned or sold is 978,000 shares. Such shares may be treasury, or authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock of the Company. Total options granted, exercised, and canceled during the three months ended March 31, 1998 were 58,000, 46,600 and 18,900, respectively. 9 NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Under SFAS 130, a company is required to show changes in assets and liabilities as comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders equity or in alternative comprehensive income statement presentations. The adoption of SFAS 130 did not have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 is effective January 1, 1998 and requires disclosures of certain financial information by segments of a company's business. The adoption of SFAS 131 is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of TIB Financial Corporation (the "Company") as reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. The Company's operating subsidiary is TIB Bank of the Keys. The Company's net income of $825,056 for the first quarter of 1998 was a 5.0% increase compared to $785,862 for the same period last year. The increase in net income is attributed to an increase of $202,637, or 6.5%, in net interest income; an increase of $688,557, or 67.1%, in other income; offset by an increase of $15,000 in the provision for loan losses; an increase in other expense of $747,312, or 25.8%; and an increase in income tax expense of $89,688. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 1998 were $0.19 and $0.18 respectively as compared to $0.18 and $0.17 per share in the previous year's quarter. Book value per share increased to $5.74 at March 31, 1998 from $5.62 at December 31, 1997. The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share on January 10, 1998 and April 10, 1998, respectively. Annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 13.3% on average equity of $24,877,000, compared to 13.7% on average equity of $22,978,000 for the same period in 1997. Annualized return on average assets of $289,930,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 1.14%, compared to 1.24% on average assets of $253,477,000 for the same period in 1997, due to strong asset growth in the first quarter of 1998 exceeding a more moderate increase in earnings. Net interest income is an effective measurement of how well management has balanced the Company's interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The Company's net interest income is its principal source of income. Interest earning assets for the Company include loans, federal funds sold, and investment securities. The Company's interest-bearing liabilities include its deposits, federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings. Net interest income increased 6.5% to $3.3 million, in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of a higher level of earning assets. Interest from loans increased to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $4.0 million for the comparable period last year. The establishment of a very competitive money market account at the end of 1996 has continued to attract substantial deposits and has increased interest expense. This has led to the Company's net interest margin declining to 4.96% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 5.45% in the first quarter of 1997. Provision for loan losses increased slightly to $90,000 from $75,000 for the respective first quarters of 1998 and 1997. Gross charged off loans for the first quarter were $21,210 offset by recoveries of $2,493, resulting in an annualized net charge-off rate of .04% of total loans. This compares to a net charge-off during the same period last year of $3,604. At March 31, 1998, the Company had aggregate non-accrual loans of $492,448 compared to $272,949 at December 31, 1997. The ratio of non-performing loans (including loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing) to total outstanding loans was 0.29% at March 31, 1998 compared to 0.15% at December 31, 1997. 10 Other income increased $688,557 to $1,714,568 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 from $1,026,011 in the comparable period last year. The substantial improvement in this category is primarily attributable to the establishment of two new subsidiaries in 1997 which are now fully functioning, TIB Investment & Insurance Center, Inc. and TIB Government Loan Specialists, Inc. Retail sales of investment products brought in commissions to the Company of $80,889 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $5,311 for the first quarter of 1997. Gains on the sale of government guaranteed loans went from $15,669 during the first quarter of 1997 to $349,289 during the first quarter of 1998. Other expense increased 25.8% in the first three months of 1998 as compared to the prior year period. The personnel and other costs associated with the two new subsidiaries of the Bank account for the majority of the increase in this category. Total assets at March 31, 1998 were $313,553,404, up from total assets of $277,958,820 at December 31, 1997. Loans net of deferred loan fees increased $1,570,824 for the first quarter of 1998 from year end 1997. Also, in the same period, federal funds sold increased $14,515,000 and investment securities increased $13,360,253. These increases were funded by a deposit increase of $32,806,703. At March 31, 1998, the Company had $748,016 in short-term borrowings compared to $2,007,178 at year end December 31, 1997. Short-term borrowings include $170,622 in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and $577,394 in Treasury tax deposits. This decrease in short-term borrowings reflects the effects of seasonal inflows of deposits along with strong growth in new accounts. The Company is currently addressing a universal situation commonly referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Year 2000 Problem relates to the inability of certain computer software programs and equipment to properly recognize and process date-sensitive information relative to the year 2000 and beyond. During 1997, the Company developed a plan to devote the necessary resources to identify and modify systems impacted by the Year 2000 problem, or implement new systems to become year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. The cost of executing this plan is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. TIB Bank has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Homestead banking facilities and Homestead account base of Coconut Grove Bank, subject to regulatory approval. The branch, which has deposits of roughly $12 million, is located in South Dade County in the heart of Homestead at the corner of Campbell and Krome Avenue. The acquisition will be TIB's second Homestead facility, an office building is being converted to a bank branch and is expected to open around mid year 1998. The extensive range of products and services is expected to be well received in Homestead and South Dade. CAPITAL ADEQUACY Federal banking regulators have established certain capital adequacy standards required to be maintained by banks and bank holding companies. These regulations establish minimum requirements for risk-based capital of 4% for core capital (tier I), 8% for total risk-based capital and 3% for the leverage ratio. At March 31, 1998, the Company's tier I risk-based capital was 12.4% and total risk-based capital was 13.5%, compared to 12.7% and 13.8% at year-ended December 31, 1997, respectively. At March 31, 1998 the Company's leverage ratio was 8.6% compared to 9.5% at December 31, 1997. This change is due to strong deposit growth exceeding a smaller increase in retained earnings. The Company does not have any commitments which it believes would reduce its capital to levels inconsistent with the regulatory definition of a `well capitalized' financial institution. LIQUIDITY The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit withdrawal needs of the Company's customers. The Company does not anticipate any events which would require liquidity beyond that which is available through deposit growth, federal funds balances, or investment portfolio maturities. The Company actively manages the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available at all times. 11 Part II.
