EXPLANATORY NOTE

Florida Bank Group, Inc., (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2010 (the “Original Filing”), to amend and restate the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filing on January 14, 2011, on November 19, 2010 the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “FRB”) issued a report at the conclusion of a regulatory examination of Florida Bank, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (the “Bank”), which included financial data as of June 30, 2010. This regulatory examination was on-going at the time the Original Filing was filed with the SEC and the issues in the report were raised after the Bank had filed its call report for the quarter ending September 30, 2010 and after the Company had filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the third quarter period ended September 30, 2010. The Bank was instructed by the FRB to amend and resubmit its call report for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to recognize a $6.0 million adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2010, which it did. The majority of the adjustment related to the determination by the FRB that a small number of impaired loans were collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010, which management had judged to be other than collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010. As a result of information that subsequently became available to the Company regarding the Company’s real estate loan portfolio and the valuation of the underlying collateral, it determined that these loans were collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010. As a result of the Company’s determination that these loans should be recognized as collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010, the Company also determined that the provision should be recognized in the June 30, 2010 period, resulting in a decision by the Company’s management to restate the second and third quarter financial statements. This decision was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 12, 2011.

Prior to the issuance of the report, the Company had recorded in its financial statements, as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, a provision of $6.8 million, which included the $6.0 million amount relating to the loans identified by the FRB. Since the $6.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses was already included in the provision recorded during the third quarter of 2010, the restatements represent a reallocation of the provision between the second and third quarter periods. Therefore, only the results for the three month periods ending June 30 and September 30, 2010, and the six month period ending June 30, 2010 will be affected by this restatement. Amounts as of and for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010 were not affected.

In the Original Filing, the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Based on the determination to revise its financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company, with the assistance of an outside advisory firm, initiated a process to reassess the effectiveness of the design and operations of its internal controls over financial reporting. This process included, among other things, a thorough review and documentation of the Company’s procedures and controls with respect to timing of the procurement of information relating to the review and analysis of its loan loss reserves. As a result of the review and the implementation of process enhancements recommended by its outside advisory firm, the Company believes that as of the date of filing of this Form–10Q/A, the consolidated financial statements included in this Form–10Q/A present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented and that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

The information in this Amendment has been updated to give effect to the restatement. The Company has not modified nor updated the information in the Original Filing, except as necessary to reflect the effects of the restatement described above. This Amendment continues to speak as of the dates described herein, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained in the Original Filing to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to such dates. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment.

Based on the foregoing, only the following items have been amended:

 

   

Part I – Financial Information:

 

   

Item 1 – Financial Statements

 

   

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

   

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10–Q/A sets forth the initial Form 10-Q in its entirety, although the Company is only amending those portions affected by the restatement described above.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (As Restated) (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Florida Bank Group, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Florida Bank (the “Bank”), (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s only significant business activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a Florida state-chartered Federal Reserve member commercial bank and owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of ACIC Properties, Inc. ACIC Properties, Inc. was established in 2007 to purchase assets, in the form of substandard loans and foreclosed real estate properties, from the Bank and hold or market these assets for resale. In September 2010, the Holding Company contributed its investment in ACIC Properties, Inc. to the Bank.

The Bank offers a wide range of commercial and retail banking services to businesses and individuals. In addition to traditional products and services, the Bank offers other products and services, such as debit cards, internet banking, and electronic bill payment services. Consumer loan products offered by the Bank include home equity lines of credit, second mortgages, new and used auto loans, new and used boat loans, overdraft protection, and personal credit lines. Commercial loan products include: commercial real estate construction and term loans, working capital loans and lines of credit, demand, term and time loans, and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable financing.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company follows GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking industry, which are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.

In preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these 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 value of the deferred tax assets and the value of foreclosed real estate.

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are those of a recurring nature, and disclosures necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

Note 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

The Company has restated the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses were decreased by $6.0 million from amounts previously reported to reflect a reallocation of amounts applied to the loans of certain specific customers as of June 30, 2010, which was subsequently applied as of September 30, 2010. The majority of the adjustment related to the determination by the FRB that a small number of impaired loans were collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010, which the Company had judged to be other than collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010. As a result of information that subsequently became available to the Company regarding the Company’s real estate loan portfolio and the valuation of the underlying collateral, it determined that these loans were collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010. As a result of the Company’s determination that these loans should be recognized as collateral dependent as of June 30, 2010, the Company also determined that the provision should be recognized in June 30, 2010, which necessitated the restatement of its financial statements.

The $6.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses was previously included in the provision recorded during the third quarter of 2010. Accordingly, the restatements represent a reallocation of amounts form the provision from of September 30, 2010, to the provision as of June 30, 2010. Consequently, only the results for the three month periods ending June 30 and September 30, 2010, and the six month period ending June 30, 2010 were affected by these restatements. There was no impact to the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities will not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. The Company plans to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient for the fair value of the securities to recover and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The losses are therefore not considered other-than-temporary at September 30, 2010.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

In evaluating mortgage backed and asset backed securities with significant unrealized losses greater than 12 months, management utilizes various resources, including input from independent third party firms to perform an analysis of expected future cash flows. The process begins with an assessment of the underlying collateral backing the mortgage pools. Management develops specific assumptions using as much market data as possible and includes internal estimates as well as estimates published by rating agencies and other third-party sources. The data for the individual borrowers in the underlying mortgage pools are generally segregated by state, Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score at issue, loan to value at issue and income documentation criteria. Mortgage pools are evaluated for current and expected levels of delinquencies and foreclosures, based on where they fall in the proscribed data set of FICO score, geographics, LTV and documentation type and a level of loss severity is assigned to each security based on its experience. The above-described historical data is used to develop current and expected measures of cumulative default rates as well as ultimate loss frequency and severity within the underlying mortgages. This reveals the expected future cash flows within the mortgage pool. The data described above is then inputted to an industry recognized model to assess the behavior of the particular security tranche owned by the Company. Significant inputs in this process include the structure of any subordination structures, if applicable, and are dictated by the structure of each particular security as laid out in the offering documents. The forecasted cash flows from the mortgage pools are input through the security structuring model to derive expected cash flows for the specific security owned by the Company to determine if the future cash flows are expected to exceed the book value of the security. The values for the significant inputs are updated on a regular basis.

If a security has a decline in fair value that is other than temporary, the security will be written down to its fair value by recording an OTTI loss in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For a debt security that the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, while the impairment related to all other factors is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded OTTI charges of $0.5 million to write down two asset-backed securities to their fair values. The Company intends to sell the related securities; as such, the entire OTTI loss was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. No additional OTTI write downs were required during the third quarter of 2010.

The table below provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 relating to the Company’s available for sale debt securities:

Loan Impairment and Credit Losses.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable 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. The Company evaluates impairment on a loan-by-loan basis. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral values, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the impairment is measured based on the use of the loan’s most recent market value, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

Table of Contents

Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the recorded amount of the loan, a valuation allowance is established by recording a charge to the provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases or decreases in the valuation allowance for impaired loans are recorded by adjusting the existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses. The following summarizes the amount of impaired loans:

Note 5 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

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 unfunded loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit and unused lines of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Unfunded loan commitments and unused lines of 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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Table of Contents

Standby letters-of-credit are conditional lending 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. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting these commitments.

A summary of the notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2010, with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows:

 

     Contract Amount  

Unfunded loan commitments

   $ 7,565   
        

Unused lines of credit

   $ 74,311   
        

Standby letters of credit

Note 6 – Stock-Based Compensation Plan

Certain key employees and directors of the Company have options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under its 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) as amended. Under the plan, the total number of shares which may be issued shall not exceed 1,700,000. Stock options are issued at the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and expire ten years from grant date. Stock options vest over a three year period. In 2008, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options and at December 31, 2008 all stock options became fully vested. There were no options granted or exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, 943,803 shares remain available for grant under the plan.

Note 8 – Comprehensive Loss

FASB Topic ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” (Formerly SFAS No. 130), requires that certain transactions and other economic events that bypass the income statement be displayed as other comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive loss totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2009. Comprehensive loss totaled $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $5.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) consists of net loss and changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale (net of income taxes).

Note 9 – Regulatory Matters

Banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Holding Company. The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2010, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2010, the most recent notification from the regulatory authorities 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 I risk-based, and Tier I leverage percentages as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the following table:

Note 10 – Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock has been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding of 14,329,315 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 14,329,315 and 11,737,688 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for these interim periods because of the Company’s net loss position.

Note 11 – Recent Accounting Standards Update

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-01, “Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary.” This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset de-recognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which amends the fair value disclosure guidance. The amendments include new disclosures and changes to clarify existing disclosure requirements. The new guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting

periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (Topic 855) – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” ASU 2010-09 amends the subsequent events disclosure guidance. The amendments include a definition of an SEC filer, requires an SEC filer or conduit bond obligor to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 “Consolidation (Topic 855) – Amendments for Certain Investment Funds.” The amendments to the consolidation requirements of Topic 810 resulting from the issuance of Statement 167 are deferred for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity (1) that has all the attributes of an investment company or (2) for which it is industry practice to apply measurement principles for financial reporting purposes that are consistent with those followed by investment companies. The deferral does not apply in situations in which a reporting entity has the explicit or implicit obligation to fund losses of an entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Amendments to Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging-Embedded Derivatives.” Subtopic 815-15 is amended to clarify that the only type of embedded credit derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk that is exempt from derivative bifurcation requirement is one that is in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. As such, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination will need to assess those embedded derivatives to determine if bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative is required. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first interim reporting period beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No 2010-13, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” This update provides clarification that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trade should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance or service condition. Therefore, the award would be classified as an equity award if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have any impact on its financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset.” This update provides clarification that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. This guidance becomes effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period on or after July 15, 2010 with early application permitted. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 310 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

Additional new authoritative accounting guidance, ASU No. 2010-20, under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and non-accrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010.

Note 12 – Subsequent Event

Prior to the payment of dividends on the Company’s preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP Dividends), it must request and be granted approval by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The Company submitted a request to the Federal Reserve Bank to pay CPP Dividends amounting to $280, which are payable on November 15, 2010. On November 8, 2010, the Company received notice from the Federal Reserve Bank that it was unwilling to approve the Company’s request to pay these CPP Dividends. All future requests for CPP Dividend payments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Florida Bank Group, Inc.

Tampa, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Florida Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2010, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 (as restated) and 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 31, 2010, we, based on our audit expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

As described in Note 2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its previously issued interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us, including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion/dilution to reported earnings that may be realized from our proposed acquisition of Anderen Financial, Inc. by merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Anderen Bank, into our wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Bank, as well as other statements of expectation regarding the proposed merger and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. We caution you that results and events subject to forward-looking statements could differ materially due to the following risk factors, among others: the risk that our business and that of Anderen Financial, Inc. in connection with the proposed merger will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the proposed merger may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; revenues following the proposed merger may be lower than expected; customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the proposed merger; the ability to obtain required governmental and shareholder approvals, and the ability to complete the proposed merger on the expected timeframe; possible changes in economic and business conditions; the existence or exacerbation of general geopolitical and economic instability and uncertainty; possible changes in monetary and fiscal policies, and laws and regulations; the effects of recently proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress on financial services reform; the cost and other effects of legal and administrative cases; possible changes in the credit worthiness of customers and the possible impairment of collectability of loans; the effects of changes in interest rates and other risk and factors identified in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements. Please see Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

However, other factors besides those listed in our Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we may refer to Florida Bank Group, Inc. as the “Holding Company,” and to Florida Bank as the “Bank”. Collectively, we may refer to the Holding Company and the Bank and ACIC Properties, Inc. as “we,” “us,” or “our”.

Business Overview

We are a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, headquartered in Tampa, Florida. We were incorporated on January 12, 2007, under the laws of the State of Florida. We are the sole shareholder of Florida Bank, a Florida chartered commercial bank that provides a wide range of business and consumer financial services in its target marketplace. The Bank currently operates 15 banking offices located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Duval, St. Johns, Sarasota, Manatee and Leon counties, Florida. The Bank owns all of the outstanding shares of ACIC Properties, Inc., which markets and sells substandard loans and foreclosed real estate properties. As of September 30, 2010, we had $867.9 million in total assets, including $597.4 million in net loans, and $682.7 million in deposits.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to operate as a profitable banking organization, with an emphasis on relationship banking. Our lending strategy includes commercial business loans to small and medium-sized businesses, consumer lending, and select real estate loans. We emphasize comprehensive business products and responsiveness that reflects our knowledge of our local markets and customers. We offer a wide range of commercial and retail banking and financial services to businesses and individuals.

Table of Contents

Our marketing strategy is targeted to:

 

   

Capitalize on our personal relationship approach, which we believe differentiates us from our larger competitors;

 

   

Provide customers with access to our local executives who make key credit and other decisions;

 

   

Pursue commercial lending opportunities with small to mid-sized businesses that are underserved by our larger competitors; and

 

   

Cross-sell our products and services to our existing customers to leverage our relationships.

Our strategy is geared toward building a preeminent community bank in the state of Florida. Our goal is to have a significant market share (as defined by deposits) among community banks, in each of the markets in which we operate. As part of our business strategy, we may evaluate business combinations with other institutions. In keeping with this particular strategy, on July 14, 2010, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Anderen Financial, Inc. (“AFI”), pursuant to which we agreed to merge with AFI in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to which AFI’s wholly owned subsidiary, Anderen Bank, will be merged into our wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Bank, (the “Bank Merger”). Each AFI shareholder will receive 1.32 shares of the Company’s common stock for each AFI share of common stock owned. The transaction, approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is subject to regulatory and AFI shareholder approval and certain other closing conditions. On a pro forma basis, the combined entities will have total assets of over $1 billion. The proposed merger, if approved, will offer our clients additional convenience and a broader array of products and services in addition to providing us with access to a broader customer base. We believe that the combined company will benefit from greater efficiencies and economies of scale, which will result in an improved earnings outlook. Please see Part II Item 1a for a discussion of additional risk factors relating to the proposed merger.

We will focus on increasing the number of customer relationships and, ultimately, deposits, loans and profitability. Organic strategies include taking advantage of customer dislocation in the market place created by other banks’ operating limitations and customer dissatisfaction. For example, we believe that we can provide a higher level of personalized service than the large regional and national banks and more service capabilities than most of the smaller community banks.

Subsequent Actions

On October 13, 2010, we submitted the following applications for the approval of the merger with AFI to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Florida Office of Financial Regulations:

 

  1. Interagency Bank Merger Act Application – seeking approval for the merger of Anderen Bank with and into Florida Bank.

 

  2. Form FR Y-3 Application to Become a Bank Holding Company and Acquire an Additional Bank Holding Company – Seeking approval of the Federal Reserve for the formation of Franklin Acquisition Company, LLC (“Merger Co”) as a bank holding company, merging AFI with and into Merger Co and merging Merger Co with and into the Holding Company.

 

  3. Form OFR-U-19 Application for Approval to Merge a Bank – seeking approval of the Florida Office of Financial Regulation for approval of the Bank Merger.

The above applications must be approved before the merger can be completed and effective.

QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

A summary overview of our financial performance for the third quarter of 2010 versus the third quarter of 2009 is provided below:

 

   

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we experienced an increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses, an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in noninterest expenses.

 

   

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders (“net loss”) of $ 0.5 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share. These results compared with a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2009. The increase in net losses for the 2010 period as compared to the 2009 period was mostly driven by an increase in our provision for loan losses, which more than offset the increase in noninterest income and net interest income before provision for loan losses.

 

   

The loan loss provisions were $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The provision for the current quarter reflects required additions to reserves for collateral devaluation on existing impaired loans and to a lesser extent, for newly impaired loans. See below for discussion on loan loss reserves.

 

   

Noninterest income increased $3.4 million from the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to gains recognized on the sale of securities available for sale.

 

   

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $0.4 million or 5.6% from the third quarter of 2009 mostly due to lower insurance and a decrease in foreclosed real estate related expenses.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded $0.3 million of additional salary and employee benefit expenses related to a reduction in force that resulted in the elimination of 19 full time positions. See below for further discussion.

 

   

As of September 30, 2010, total assets were $867.9 million compared to $830.3 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $37.6 million or 4.5%. The increase in assets reflects a $50.5 million increase in investment securities, a $14.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $6.1 million increase in deferred tax assets. Most of the increase relates to increases in our total deposits. These increases were offset in part by a $27.3 million decrease in net loans, a $4.4 million decrease in foreclosed real estate and $1.9 million of other miscellaneous decreases. The reduction in the net loan balance reflects a combination of decreased loan demand, loan payoffs and loan charge offs.

 

   

As of September 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses totaled $21.4 million, or 3.5% of total loans compared to $21.3 million, or 3.3% of total loans as of December 31, 2009. The allowance represents 39.5% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2010 compared to 45.4% at December 31, 2009.

 

   

As of September 30, 2010, total deposits were $682.7 million, up $52.3 million or 8.3% compared to December 31, 2009. This increase was comprised of increases in money market deposits of $41.5 million, noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $8.3 million and time deposits of $6.0 million, offset in part by a $3.5 million decrease in interest-bearing demand and savings deposits.

 

   

Borrowed funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) advances, totaled $77.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $81.7 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $4.0 million or 4.9%.

 

   

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our capital ratios all surpassed regulatory measures to be considered “well capitalized.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and investment securities. Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, federal funds purchased, advances from the FHLB and other short term borrowings.

The $0.7 million increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2010 compared to the 2009 period is the result of a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense offset in part by a $0.5 million decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense is mostly the result of decreases in our deposit rates, primarily related to time deposits, as our time deposits maturing towards the end of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 were generally re-priced into a much lower interest rate environment. Time deposits carry a fixed rate of interest to maturity and most of our borrowings provide for a fixed rate of interest until maturity or conversion date. The average balance and interest rate paid on time deposits for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, was $338.7 million and 2.73% respectively, compared to an average balance and interest paid of $387.9 million and 3.51%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. In addition, we reduced our interest expense on borrowings through the early retirement and restructuring of certain higher cost advances from the FHLB.

The decrease in interest on loans was primarily the result of an increase in the non recognition of interest income on non accruing loans in addition to a reduction in our average loan balances. The balance in non accruing loans was $54.1 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $20.2 million from the balance at September 30, 2009. Average loan balances were $629.9 million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $14.2 million from the average loan balance at September 30, 2009.

The following table reflects the components of net interest income, setting forth for the three month periods presented, (1) average assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) our net interest spread (i.e., the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities) and (5) our net interest margin (i.e., the net yield on interest earning assets):

Going forward, we expect short-term market interest rates to remain low for a period of time. We expect deposit costs to continue to decline but they may decrease more slowly or to a lesser extent than loan and investment yields. If there is strong demand in the financial markets and banking system for liquidity, then this may lead to elevated pricing competition for deposits, thereby, limiting any net interest margin expansion.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $3.0 million compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The provisions for both periods reflect the continued contraction of commercial and residential real estate activity and the ripple effect on our local economies resulting in an increase in nonperforming loans, a reduction in the fair values of loan collateral and an increase in our net loan charge-off experience. Our nonperforming loans were $54.1 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $33.9 million as of September 30, 2009. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2010 totaled $7.2 million compared to $2.9 million in the same period in 2009. At September 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses, at $21.4 million, was 3.5% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 39.5% of nonperforming loans. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $13.6 million, representing 2.1% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 40.2% of nonperforming loans.

The continued local economic contraction is evidenced by continued high unemployment levels in the markets in which we operate. Foreclosures and distressed sales continue to negatively impact the value of local real estate. As a consequence of the economic slowdown discussed above, both individual and business customers have continued to exhibit difficulty in timely payment of their loan obligations. Management performs regular internal loan reviews and regularly engages the services of third party loan review firms to obtain an independent review of our loans. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our allowance for loan losses. Management considers the results of each of these reviews in establishing its estimated allowance for loan losses. We will continue to monitor the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order for management to record the provision which it believes is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

While there were previous indications that the trend of local economic contractions may be nearing a plateau, we cannot be sure how long the economic contraction will continue. Consequently, we may experience higher levels of delinquent and nonperforming loans, which may require higher provisions for loan losses, higher charge-offs and higher collection related expenses in future periods.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income on a recurring basis is derived principally from loan and deposit fees, securities gains or losses on securities held for sale and other miscellaneous sources. Noninterest income increased $3.4 million primarily due to the recognition of a $3.2 million net gain on the sales of securities available for sale.

Noninterest Expense

The $0.4 million, or 5.6%, decrease in noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 was mostly due to a $0.4 million decrease in insurance, a $0.3 million decrease in loss on sale of foreclosed real estate and a $0.3 million decrease in various other expenses. During the third quarter of 2010, we had a reduction in force which resulted in the loss of 19 employees and the recording of $0.3 million in additional salary and benefit expenses, all of which related to

Table of Contents

employee severance. The purpose of the reduction in force was to more closely align our expense structure with our related revenues. Under our current operating structure, this specific action could result in a $2.0 million reduction in salary and benefit expenses on an annualized basis. Partially offsetting the expense decreases was a $0.2 million increase in professional fees which were mostly related to the proposed merger activities.

Preferred Stock Dividend Requirements

On July 24, 2009, the Holding Company issued 20,471 shares of Series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase 1,024 shares of Series B preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury for proceeds of $20.5 million under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The warrants were immediately exercised by the U.S. Treasury on July 24, 2009 for shares of Series B preferred stock. The terms of the Series A preferred stock require quarterly dividend payments of 5% per annum of the outstanding principal during the first five years the issue is outstanding after which the dividend rate increases to 9% per annum. The terms of the Series B preferred stock require quarterly dividend payments of 9% per annum of the outstanding principal. Preferred stock dividend requirements and discount accretion for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 totaled $330,000. See discussion below regarding preferred stock dividend payments under the section titled “Capital Resources,”

The factors affecting the $5.2 million increase are displayed in the table above. A more detailed discussion of each major component of our financial performance is provided below.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Loan Losses

The $2.9 million increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 is the result of a $4.6 million decrease in interest expense offset in part by a $1.7 million decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense is mostly the result of decreases in our deposit rates, primarily related to time deposits, as our time deposits maturing towards the end of 2009 and most of 2010 were generally re-priced into a much lower interest rate environment. The average balance and interest rate paid on time deposits for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $348.5 million and 2.88%, respectively compared to an average balance and interest paid of $415.0 million and 3.71%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. In addition, we reduced our interest expense on borrowings through the early retirement and restructuring of certain higher cost advances from the FHLB.

Table of Contents

The decrease in interest on loans was primarily the result of an increase in the non recognition of interest income on non accruing loans in addition to a reduction in our average loan balances. The balance in non accruing loans was $54.1 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $20.2 million from the balance at September 30, 2009. The average loan balance for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, was $637.8 million, a decrease of $18.9 million from the average loan balance for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $14.9 million compared to $4.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the provision for loan losses reflects a continued increase in nonperforming loans, the continued erosion in the fair values of loan collateral and an increase in our loan loss factors compared to the same period in 2009. Our nonperforming loans were $54.1 million as of September 30, 2010, compared to $33.9 million as of September 30, 2009. Net charge-offs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 totaled $14.9 million compared to $8.5 million in the same period in 2009. See above for a discussion of allowance for loan losses coverage and a discussion of economic factors’ effect on our loan loss reserves.

Noninterest Income

The increase in noninterest income of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was mostly due to a $3.0 million increase in gain on the sale of securities available for sale and an increase in bank fees and other miscellaneous bank service charges of $0.4 million, offset in part by an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of securities available for sale of $0.5 million. See the expanded discussion below under the section titled “OTTI.”

Total noninterest expenses

   $ 21,651       $ 19,034   
                 

The $2.6 million, or 13.8% increase in noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to higher salary and employee benefit expense of $3.0 million, which primarily resulted from an increase in the number of employees in connection with the opening of two new branch locations towards the end of the second quarter of 2009, an increase in professional fees of $0.8 million mostly related to merger activities and public company related expenses, a write down of foreclosed real estate of $0.8 million and severance expense of $0.3 million relating to the release of 19 employees at the end of the third quarter of 2010. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in FHLB prepayment penalties of $1.3 million and a decrease in insurance and data processing expenses of $0.6 million, combined. As a result of our reduction in force, we expect that salary and employee benefit expenses should decrease through the remainder of this year and into 2011, under our current operating structure.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $867.9 million, an increase of $37.6 million or 4.5%, from total assets at December 31, 2009. Total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2010 were $43.9 million, up $14.5 million, or 49.5%, from cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009. Investment securities available for sale increased $50.5 million, or 50.6%, to $150.3 million at September 30, 2010 from $99.8 million at December 31, 2009. The increases in cash and in investment securities available for sale mostly resulted from increases in our money market and time deposits. Our net loans decreased $27.3 million, or 4.4%, to $597.4 million at September 30, 2010 from $624.7 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in net loans was primarily due to principal repayments and additions to allowance for loan losses. Foreclosed real estate decreased $4.4 million or 50.7% at September 30, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of sales of certain foreclosed properties.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2010 increased $48.6 million to $765.6 million from $717.0 million at December 31, 2009. The change primarily reflects an increase in total deposits of $52.3 million, offset in part by a $4.0 million decrease in FHLB advances.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $11.1 million to $102.3 million at September 30, 2010 from $113.4 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease reflects a net loss of $9.6 million, preferred stock dividends and discount accretion of $0.8 million and a change in unrealized holding loss on available-for-sale securities of $0.7 million.

The overall decrease in gross loans was primarily the result of net charge-offs and loan payoffs by customers.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance established to absorb probable incurred credit losses associated with loans in the loan portfolio. The allowance is recorded through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management’s belief that the loan is uncollectible is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Management considers the results of each of these evaluations in establishing its estimated allowance for loan losses. We will continue to monitor the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order for management to record the provision which it believes is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2010, we held an allowance for loan losses of $21.4 million or 3.5% of total loans compared to the allowance for loan losses of $21.3 million or 3.3% of total loans at December 31, 2009. Based on an analysis performed by management, as of September 30, 2010, management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover probable incurred credit losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, management’s judgment is based upon a number of assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that significant additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. As a direct result of these factors and the analyses performed in conjunction with the sustained weakness in asset values, particularly real estate, we recorded loan loss provisions totaling $14.9 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 which, when offset by net charge-offs of $14.9 million in the same period, resulted in our reserve remaining virtually unchanged from December 31, 2009.

Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. During the economic slowdown discussed above, some of our customers have exhibited difficulty in timely payment of their loan obligations. We cannot be certain how long the economic slowdown in our market will continue. Consequently, we may experience higher levels of delinquent and nonperforming loans, which may require higher provisions for loan losses, higher charge-offs and higher collection related expenses in future periods.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and foreclosed real estate. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. Foreclosed real estate is comprised principally of real estate properties obtained in partial or total loan satisfactions and is included in other assets at its estimated fair value less selling costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, foreclosed real estate decreased $4.4 million due to sales of such properties.

We discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or sooner if current information indicates the borrower’s inability to pay, depending on the loan type, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest and fees are reversed. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest have been paid and the borrower has demonstrated the willingness and ability to make timely payments.

Non-performing loans, or non-accrual loans, are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. In addition, these loans are evaluated by comparing the recorded loan amount to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. The results of this evaluation are used as part of the determination of the appropriate allowance and provision for loan losses and charge-offs, when appropriate. The following is a summary of non-performing assets as of the periods presented (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2010, we had $6.8 million in restructured loans, or TDRs, that are in compliance with their modified terms. The criteria for a TDR loan to be considered performing is as follows: (1) none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid, and we expect repayment of the remaining contractual principal and interest, or (2) when the TDR loan otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. Since these loans have met the criteria, management does not consider these loans to be non-performing and have not included them in the table above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to provide for the cash flow requirements of deposit withdrawals, funding requirements of our borrowers, debt maturities, operating cash flows and off balance sheet obligations such as customer lines of credit. Our objective in managing our liquidity is to maintain our ability to meet all our cash flow requirements without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings. Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and monitored by our Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) and senior management, and which take into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. We regularly evaluate all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on accessibility, stability, reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits provided by commercial and retail customers. The Bank attracts these deposits by offering an array of products designed to match customer needs at rates acceptable to the Bank. Deposits can be very price sensitive; we therefore monitor the Bank’s offering rates relative to our competition and adjust our offering rates accordingly to generate larger or smaller flows of deposit funds, depending on our cash-flow requirements and other factors we consider.

In addition to local market deposits, the Bank has access to national brokered certificates of deposit markets as well as deposit subscription services. The Bank uses these alternative sources of deposits to supplement deposits particularly when these sources of deposits are less costly than the local market or in order to obtain specific funding amounts and terms that might not otherwise be available locally. These sources of deposits tend to be more price and credit sensitive and therefore the Bank has established policies to limit the amount of these types of funding sources.

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to a secured borrowing facility. Loans meeting certain criteria may be pledged as collateral and are subject to advance rates established by the FHLB. Alternatively, FHLB borrowings may be secured by marketable securities, which are generally afforded higher advance rates relative to the value of the pledged collateral. FHLB advances are a useful source of funding as they offer a broad variety of terms allowing the Bank to position its funding with greater flexibility. FHLB funding is also credit sensitive and therefore the Bank has established policies to limit the amount of its utilization of this funding source.

Other sources of liquidity include balances of cash and due from banks, short-term investments such as federal funds sold, and our investment portfolio, which can either be liquidated or used as collateral for borrowings. Additionally, our correspondent banks provide unsecured federal funds lines of credit, which may be used to access short term funds. All of these funding sources are part of the Bank’s contingency plans in the event of extraordinary fluctuations in cash resources.

The Bank has unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $14.0 million from our correspondent banks. Further, the Bank has invested in FHLB stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the FHLB. The credit availability to the Bank on these credit lines is based on the amount of collateral pledged and limited by a percentage of the Bank’s total assets as reported on its most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the regulators. As of September 30, 2010 we had $77.7 million of FHLB advances outstanding and $28.2 million of letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida. Our unused borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2010, was approximately $49.0 million.

As of September 30, 2010, we had unfunded loan commitments of $7.6 million and unused lines and letters of credit totaling approximately $75.5 million. We believe the likelihood of these commitments either needing to be totally funded or funded at the same time is low. However, should significant funding requirements occur, the Bank has available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed above.

As of September 30, 2010, our gross loan to deposit ratio was 90.7% compared to 102.4% at December 31, 2009. Management monitors and assesses the adequacy of our liquidity position on a daily and monthly basis to ensure that sufficient sources of liquidity are maintained and available. We believe that based on current forecasts operating cash flows and available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet all operating needs, including planned capital expenditures for the next 12 to 18 months.

Major sources of increases and decreases in cash and cash equivalents were as follows for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to cash used by operating activities of $5.4 million for the same period in 2009. The $6.3 million improvement is mostly attributable to $2.9 million from an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities, $1.1 million from an increase in official checks, $1.7 million from an increase in net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and $0.7 million from a decrease in prepaid and other expenses.

Investment Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities was $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The $5.3 million change reflects the following: Increased usage of $147.3 million for the purchase of securities available for sale; an $0.8 million increase for the acquisition of premises and equipment and a $0.4 million increase for the redemption of FHLB stock; offset in part by decreases in investing activities of $127.4 million related to proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale; $10.1 million related to a decrease in loans; $4.1 million primarily related to the sale of foreclosed real estate; and, $1.2 million related to the redemption of Federal Reserve Bank Stock.

Investment activities serve to enhance our liquidity position and interest rate sensitivity, while also providing a yield on interest earning assets. Securities purchased with the intent and ability to hold until maturity are categorized as securities held to maturity and carried at amortized cost. All other securities are categorized as securities available for sale and are recorded at fair value. Securities, like loans, are subject to similar interest rate and credit risk. In addition, by their nature, securities classified as available for sale are also subject to market value risks that could negatively affect the level of liquidity available to us, as well as stockholders’ equity. A change in the value of securities held to maturity could also negatively affect the level of stockholders’ equity if there was a decline in the underlying creditworthiness of the issuers, other-than-temporary impairment is deemed or there is a change in our intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.

As of September 30, 2010, our securities portfolio totaled $150.3 million compared to $99.8 million as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $50.5 million. For both periods, all of our securities were classified as available for sale. The increase in the investment portfolio during the first nine months of 2010 is primarily due to the purchase of government sponsored mortgaged-backed securities. We do not actively trade securities and do not expect to do so in the future.

OTTI

As of December 31, 2009, we owned approximately $641,000 of asset backed securities at amortized cost. During the first nine months of 2010, the estimated fair value of certain of these securities declined due to changes in the cash flow and discount rate assumptions used to estimate the value of these securities and we determined that the further declines in values were other than temporary under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, we recorded $549,000 of OTTI loss in the second quarter of 2010. No OTTI losses were recorded in the third quarter of 2010.

Please see Note 7 to our September 30, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on Other Comprehensive Loss related to our securities classified as available-for-sale.

Capital Resources

The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces. We seek to maintain a strong capital base to support our business activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we exceeded the levels of capital required in order to be considered “well capitalized” by the regulatory authorities. The basic measures of capitalization applied by the regulatory authorities are provided below as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for the Company and the Bank:

Prior to the payment of dividends on our preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP Dividends), we must request and be granted approval by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. We submitted a request to the Federal Reserve Bank to pay CPP Dividends amounting to $280,000, which are payable on November 15, 2010. On November 8, 2010, we received notice from the Federal Reserve Bank that it was unwilling to approve our request to pay these CPP Dividends. All future requests for CPP Dividend payments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Inflation.

The impact of inflation on the banking industry differs significantly from that of other industries in which a large portion of total resources are invested in fixed assets such as property, plant and equipment.

Assets and liabilities of financial institutions are virtually all monetary in nature, and therefore are primarily impacted by interest rates rather than changing prices. While the general level of inflation underlies most interest rates, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy. Net interest income and the interest rate spread are good measures of our ability to react to changing interest rates and are discussed in further detail above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than approved and unfunded loans and letters of credit to our customers in the ordinary course of business. Please see Note 4 to our September 30, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion

Critical Accounting Estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

The allowance for loan losses is established to absorb probable incurred credit losses primarily resulting from loans outstanding as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on past credit loss experience and other factors that in management’s judgment deserve current recognition in estimating probable credit losses. Such other factors include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in portfolio volume, maturities, delinquencies and non-accruals, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, historical loss trends and general economic conditions.

While management uses the best information available to base its estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions, particularly in the Bank’s market areas, differ substantially from the assumptions initially used. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Bank applies a loan loss reserve methodology and documentation process that it believes is consistent with SEC, GAAP, and bank regulatory requirements. These accounting rules require specific identification of an allowance for loan loss for an impaired loan. The Bank applies a systematic methodology where the allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The following provides a summary of the Bank’s process for establishing specific reserves for impaired loans. Initially, loans are evaluated for “impairment”, meaning management believes it is probable that a borrower will not make payments of both principal and interest in accordance with the original loan agreement. If management deems a loan to be “impaired” the loan is further evaluated to determine whether it is solely collateral dependent or not. If the impaired loan is determined to be solely collateral dependent it is recorded at the fair value of the collateral less selling costs and the excess of the amounts due from the borrower over the fair market value are charged off. For impaired loans that are deemed to be not solely collateral dependent, a reserve for impairment is established equal to the excess of the loan balance over the valuation of the loan. In this circumstance, loans are valued by one of three methods: fair value of collateral, discounted expected future cash flows or observable market price of the note. Impaired loans with values in excess of the loan balance may have a reserve of zero. However, impaired loans with zero reserves may not be added back to the general reserve loan pool.

Income Taxes.

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.

At September 30, 2010 we had a net deferred tax asset of $29.6 million which includes federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $49.2 million, expiring in varying amounts in the years 2027, 2028, and 2029. The realization of deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income prior to the expiration of the carry forwards as well as other deductible temporary differences. Realization, however, is not assured and the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

Other Than Temporary Impairment

Impairment of investment securities results in a write-down that must be reflected in net income when a market decline below cost is other-than-temporary. We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, and other regulatory bodies have enacted new accounting pronouncements and standards that either have impacted our results in prior years presented, or may likely impact our results in 2010. Please refer to Note 10 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not presented as the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by Regulation S-K, Item 10 (f) of the Securities Act.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Based on the determination to revise our financial statements for periods noted above, we, with the assistance of an outside advisory firm, initiated a process to reassess the effectiveness of the design and operations of our internal controls over financial reporting. This process included, among other things, a thorough review and documentation of our procedures and controls with respect to timing of the procurement of information relating to the review and analysis of our loan loss reserves. As a result of the review and the implementation of process enhancements recommended by our outside advisory firm, we believe that as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q/A the consolidated financial statements included in this Form10-Q/A present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented and that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are periodically a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to our business. Management does not believe that there is any pending or threatened proceeding against us that, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
