REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
FGBC Bancshares, Inc.
Franklin, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FGBC Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FGBC Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses from operations due to the economic downturn, which has resulted in declining levels of capital. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), FGBC Bancshares Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated April 14, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
FGBC Bancshares, Inc.
Franklin, Georgia
We have audited FGBC Bancshares, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). FGBC Bancshares, Inc.’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 included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 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, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included 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, FGBC Bancshares, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal 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 of FGBC Bancshares, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, and our report dated April 14, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion with explanatory paragraph related to going concern considerations on those consolidated financial statements.

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
FGBC Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company formed in 2004 whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Georgia Banking Company (the “Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank with locations in Homer (Banks County), Carrollton and Villa Rica (Carroll County), Lake Oconee (Greene County), Cornelia (Habersham County), Bremen (Haralson County), Franklin (Heard County), Commerce and Jefferson (Jackson County), Columbus (Muscogee County), Athens (Oconee County) and Dalton (Whitfield County), Georgia. The Company provides a full range of banking services in its primary market areas and the adjacent areas or parts thereof.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets and deferred taxes. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and the valuation of foreclosed assets, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.
Cash, Due from Banks and Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand, cash items in process of collection and amounts due from banks. Cash flows from interest-bearing deposits in banks, loans, federal funds sold/purchased, deposits and other borrowings are reported net.
The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank was required to maintain a reserve of $140,000 at December 31, 2009. There was no reserve balance required at December 31, 2008.
Securities
Securities 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. The Company amortizes premiums and accretes discounts on securities using the straight-line method over the expected life of the security. The difference in recorded interest by using this method has not resulted in a material difference as compared to the interest method. Realized gains and losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings on the settlement date. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restricted Equity Securities
The Company is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”). Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. At their discretion, the FHLB may declare dividends on the stock. Management reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in this stock.
Loans
Loans are reported at their outstanding principal balances less deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the outstanding principal balance based on the payment terms required by the loan contract. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized in income over the life of the loans using a method which approximates a level yield.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due, or at the time the loan is 90 days past due, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income, unless management believes that the accrued interest is recoverable through the liquidation of collateral. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized on the cash-basis method, until the loans are returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. When a loan or portion of a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the amount deemed uncollectible is charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on a periodic evaluation. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are any significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses, and may require us to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Management determines the allowance for loan loss by first dividing the loan portfolio into two major categories: (1) satisfactory and past due loans and (2) impaired loans. For purposes of evaluation, satisfactory and past due loans are further segmented into the following categories: commercial and government guaranteed loans, commercial 1-4 family construction and acquisition and development projects, consumer residential real estate and other consumer loans. Management uses an annualized eight-quarter moving average net loan charge-off/recovery experience rate (net charge-off percentage of total loans.) Loan loss reserves are calculated primarily based upon this historical loss experience by segment and adjusted for qualitative factors including changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, changes in levels of non-performing loans, significant shifts in real estate values, changes in levels of collateralization, trends in staff lending experience and turnover, loan concentrations and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
For example, because of the recent increase in the level of the Company’s non-performing loans and general decline in real estate values management has increased the qualitative economic and environmental factors in the satisfactory and past due loan calculation.

F-10


 

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A loan is generally classified as impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured 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. A large portion of our impaired loans are collateral dependent, which has caused larger amounts to be included in our allowance for loan losses due to recent declines in real estate values. Impaired loans with balances in excess of $200,000 are evaluated individually, while impaired loans with balances of $200,000 or less are evaluated as a group. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.
The allocation of the allowance to the respective loan categories is an approximation and not necessarily indicative of future losses. The entire allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in the loan portfolio. Management regularly monitors trends with respect to non-accrual, restructured and potential problems loans. Subsequent negative changes in these loans have led management to increase its environmental adjustment in the allowance for loan loss to accommodate these trends.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
     
Land improvements
  10-15 years
Buildings
  30-40 years
Equipment
  3-10 years
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through loan foreclosure or repossession (primarily real estate and vehicles) are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. We determine fair value based upon the lowest of the following three methods: (1) independently observed market prices, (2) appraised values or (3) management’s estimation of the value of the property. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value on the date of acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. In the event that foreclosed real estate is incomplete at the time of foreclosure, it is held for sale and initially recorded at fair value as obtained from a current appraisal less estimated costs to complete and sell. We will obtain an “as-completed” appraisal and capitalize costs associated with completion up to this value, less selling costs, in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we charged down $293,223 and $497,436 at the time of foreclosure, respectively.
After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed and the assets are carried at the lower of the carrying or fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Costs incurred in maintaining foreclosed assets and subsequent write-downs based on updated valuations of the property are included in other operating expenses. Management believes that the carrying value of foreclosed assets at December 31, 2009 is reasonable.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the recent accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.
The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book

F-11


 

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets may be reduced by deferred tax liabilities and a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Additionally, due to recent significant losses, the Company is unable to conclude that it will generate sufficient net income in the near term to realize the full value of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company established a $16.3 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2009 bringing the net deferred tax asset to approximately $197,000, which is the deferred tax related to the net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio. As a result, any further losses will not have an associated tax benefit until the Company can show that it is more likely than not that it will realize those tax benefits.
Earnings (Losses) Per Share
Basic earnings (losses) per share represents income (losses) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (losses) per share reflect additional potential common             shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common share had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares consist of stock options and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, potential common shares were anti-dilutive and not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Stock-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2009, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan which is more fully described in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements. Under this plan, the Company recognized expense of $267,351, $357,980 and $153,420 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively
Generally accepted accounting principles require the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company had $80,104 of cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits in 2007, no excess tax benefits in 2008 and $11,920 in 2009.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). 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 (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). This guidance establishes Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by

F-12


 

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. FASB ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in FASB ASC has become non-authoritative. FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs), which will serve to update FASB ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to FASB ASC. FASB ASC is not intended to change U.S. GAAP or any requirements of the SEC. This guidance is effective for the Company as of December 31, 2009.
Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). This recent accounting guidance amends the recognition guidance for other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosures for other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt and equity securities. The recent guidance replaced the “intent and ability” indication in current guidance by specifying that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not, the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.
The Company adopted accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The effect of adoption was not material.
FASB issued guidance which describes the valuation techniques companies should use to measure the fair value of liabilities for which there is limited observable market data. If a quoted price in an active market is not available for an identical liability, an entity should use one of the following approaches: (1) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (2) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset, or (3) another valuation technique that is consistent with the accounting guidance in FASB ASC for fair value measurements and disclosures. When measuring the fair value of liabilities, this guidance reiterates that companies should apply valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs, which is consistent with existing accounting provisions for fair value measurements. In addition, this guidance clarifies when an entity should adjust quoted prices of identical or similar assets that are used to estimate the fair value of liabilities. This guidance is effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009 with adoption applied prospectively.
In addition, the following accounting pronouncements were issued by FASB, but are not yet effective:
FASB issued accounting guidance which modifies certain guidance regarding transfers and servicing financial assets. This standard eliminates the concept of qualifying special purpose entities, provides guidance as to when a portion of a transferred financial asset can be evaluated for sale accounting, provides additional guidance with regard to accounting for transfers of financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010, with adoption applied prospectively for transfers that occur on or after the effective date.
Reclassification
Certain items on the balance sheet for the period ended December 31, 2008 have been reclassified to be consistent with the classifications adopted for the period ended December 31, 2009. These reclassifications have not changed total assets as previously reported.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OPERATING LOSSES AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, due to the Company’s 2009 financial results, the substantial uncertainty throughout the U.S. banking industry and other matters discussed below, a substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in addressing the issues that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
Regulatory Oversight & Capital Adequacy
As described in Note 15, Regulatory Matters, the Bank is currently operating under heightened regulatory scrutiny and is subject to certain requirements and restrictions including but not limited to:
    Achieving and maintaining a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8%; and
 
    Planning for the scheduled reduction of certain “classified assets”; and
 
    No cash dividends may be paid without prior regulatory approval.
As of December 31, 2009 and during the subsequent period prior to the issuance of this report, we were not in compliance with regulatory capital requirements defined for our Bank. Our failure to comply with this requirement could result in further action by our banking regulators such as the issuance of a formal written agreement (i.e. Consent Order). Management and the Board of Directors are working on plans to improve our capital ratios and to further reduce the level of classified assets, and are also considering various strategic alternatives.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company was considered “undercapitalized,” not “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. In light of the requirement to improve the capital ratios of the Bank, management is pursuing a number of strategic alternatives. Current market conditions for banking institutions, the overall uncertainty in financial markets and the Company’s high level of non-performing assets are potential barriers to the success of these strategies. Failure to adequately address the regulatory concerns may result in actions by the banking regulators including, but not limited to, entry into a formal written agreement. Ongoing failure to adequately address regulatory concerns could ultimately result in the eventual appointment of a receiver or conservator of the Bank’s assets. If current adverse market factors continue for a prolonged period of time, new adverse market factors emerge, and/or the Company is unable to successfully execute its plans or adequately address regulatory concerns in a sufficiently timely manner; it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position.
Operating Losses
The Company incurred a net loss of $37.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This loss was largely the result of dramatic increases in non-performing assets, which caused us to charge-off confirmed losses and replenish our allowance for loan losses. Additionally, due to these recent significant losses, the Company was unable to conclude that it would generate sufficient net income in the near term to realize the full value of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company established a $16.3 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance in 2009 bringing the net deferred tax asset to approximately $197,000, which is the deferred tax related to the net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio. As a result, any further losses will not have an associated tax benefit until the Company can show that it is more likely than not that it will realize those tax benefits.
While our net interest margin remains at approximately 2.9% as of December 31, 2009, margin compression has also contributed to our net loss for 2009. We made efforts to reduce non-interest expense, by way of a reduction in force, salary reductions and other general cost-cutting measures. During the first quarter of 2010, we have continued to examine noninterest expense and have made further reductions in cost where possible.

F-14


 

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Interest reversals on non-performing loans and increases to nonearning, foreclosed assets could continue in 2010, and hinder our ability to improve our net interest income. Also, increases in the allowance for loan losses are likely to continue in 2010, which will negatively impact our ability to generate net income during the year.
Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are our deposits, the scheduled repayments on our loans, and interest and maturities of our investments. All securities have been classified as available for sale, which means they are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss). If necessary, we have the ability to sell a portion of our unpledged investment securities to manage interest sensitivity gap or liquidity. Our pledged securities totaled $7.8 million at December 31, 2009, and our efforts were successful to reduce this amount from the December 31, 2008 balance of $20.7 million. Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold may also be utilized to meet liquidity needs. Due to our undercapitalized status, we are unable to accept, rollover, or renew any brokered deposits. The Company has $27.2 million of brokered deposits maturing in 2010 and as these brokered deposits mature it could create a strain on liquidity.
Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, management expects to be able to meet obligations at least through December 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) — The unrealized loss on the one investment in U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) was caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of this investment does not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
Mortgage-backed securities: GSE residential — The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in eleven GSE mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The Company purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
State, county and municipals — The unrealized losses on the seven investments were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.
Corporate securities — The Company’s unrealized losses on investments in two corporate securities relates to investments in companies within the financial services sector. The unrealized losses are primarily caused by recent decreases in profitability and profit forecasts by industry analysts resulting from the sub-prime mortgage market and a recent sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the Company to settle the security at a price less than the par value of the investments. The Company currently does not believe it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its par value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model that uses the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on expected volatility of similar entities. The expected term of options granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Historical data is used to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The table below does not include information for the year ended December 31, 2009 since there were no options granted during that period.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Loan Commitments
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 letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The majority of all commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are variable rate instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Company’s commitments is as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 
    December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 34,397,240     $ 52,381,387  
Letters of credit
    308,077       957,485  
 
           
 
  $ 34,705,317     $ 53,338,872  
 
           
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 expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and is required in instances which the Company deems necessary.
At December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of liabilities related to the Company’s obligation to perform under letters of credit was insignificant. The Company has not incurred any credit losses on letters of credit for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.
In determining any required allowances for commitments to extend credit, the Company applies the same methodologies as applied to loans in determining the allowance for loan losses as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no allowances deemed necessary for commitments to extend credit.
At December 31, 2009 the Company guaranteed 100% of the debt of certain customers’ liabilities at another financial institution totaling $71,500. At December 31, 2008 the Company had guaranteed 110% of the debt of certain customers’ liabilities totaling $1,412,730.
These guarantees represent the outstanding credit line balances of those customers funded by another financial institution. The Company incurred losses of $18,504, $55,519 and $18,610 as a result of these guaranteed debts for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Employee Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its officers with initial terms of three to five years that require annual salaries of $1,661,019. The agreements are automatically extended for an additional year on the initial termination date and each anniversary thereafter. The officers are entitled to receive annual salary increases and are eligible for incentives and performance bonuses as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

NOTE 14. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
The Company originates primarily commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers in Banks, Carroll, Greene, Habersham, Haralson, Heard, Jackson, Muscogee, Oconee and Whitfield and surrounding counties. The ability of the majority of the Company’s customers to honor their contractual loan obligations is dependent on the economy in these areas.
The Company’s loan portfolio is concentrated in loans secured by real estate (89%), of which a substantial portion is secured by real estate in the Company’s primary market areas. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in the Company’s primary market area. The other significant concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.
The Company, as a matter of policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess of 25% of the Bank’s unimpaired statutory capital or net assets, or approximately $8,522,000.
NOTE 15. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was not able to declare dividends without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and 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. 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, as defined, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, as defined. As of December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank did not meet the requirements for well capitalized status. As a result, we are prohibited from directly or indirectly accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits, absent receiving a waiver from the FDIC, for which we have not applied. In addition, as an “undercapitalized” Bank we may be required to comply with additional operating restrictions, including having to submit a plan to restore the Bank to an acceptable capital category. Failure to adequately comply could eventually allow the banking regulators to appoint a receiver or conservator of our net assets. These matters are a major focus of the attention and efforts of the Board of Directors and management.
To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios established by the regulators based upon our risk profile. The Company and the Bank are undercapitalized and currently working on several strategies to reestablish well capitalized status.

NOTE 16. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Determination of Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 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.
The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in banks: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.
Fair values of other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.
Securities Available for Sale: Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Restricted equity securities: The carrying value of restricted equity securities with no readily determinable fair value approximates fair value.
Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment of the loan is dependent upon the sale of the underlying collateral. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded

F-28


 

FGBC BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
investments in such loans. At December 31, 2009, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
Deposits: The carrying amount of demand deposits, savings deposits, and variable-rate certificates of deposit approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted contractual cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for certificates of similar maturities.
Other Borrowings: The fair value of fixed rate borrowings is based on discounted contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for debt with similar terms.
Accrued Interest: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.
