CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements”. 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.

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 the forward-looking statements. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in the section captioned “Risk Factors” as well as the following factors:

However, other factors besides those listed above and in the section captioned “Risk Factors” or discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K 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. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, but reflect the present expectations of future events by our management and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by us 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.

Item 1.

Description of Business

General.

Florida Bank Group, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Holding Company”) is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, headquartered in Tampa, Florida and is the is the sole shareholder of Florida Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company was incorporated on January 12, 2007, under the laws of the State of Florida. The Bank is a Florida chartered commercial bank which provides a wide range of business and consumer financial services in its target marketplace. The Bank currently operates 14 full service banking centers in the Florida counties of Hillsborough, Pinellas, Duval, Leon, Manatee and St. Johns. As of December 31, 2010, we had $838.4 million in total assets, including $572.0 million in net loans, and $712.3 million in deposits.

The Bank was acquired in January 2002. In December 2006, Bank of North Florida, which was owned 100% by the Holding Company, began banking operations. Florida Bank of Jacksonville was acquired in September 2007. On January 25, 2008, Florida Bank of Jacksonville acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Bank of North Florida. On January 25, 2008, Bank of North Florida changed its main office to an office in Sarasota, Florida and changed its name to Florida Bank of Sarasota. On December 5, 2008, Florida Bank of Sarasota was merged into the Bank. The Bank of Tallahassee was acquired in May 2007. On March 30, 2009, the Company merged Florida Bank of Jacksonville and The Bank of Tallahassee into the Bank.

On May 29, 2009 and June 15, 2009, we sold a combined total of 4,584,756 shares of our common stock in a private placement, through a rights offering to our existing shareholders, at a price of $4.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $18,339,024. On July 24, 2009 we closed on the sale of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A and B (“Preferred Stock”) to the United States Treasury (“the Treasury”), as part of the Capital Purchase Program, for aggregate gross proceeds of $20,471,000.

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The operations of the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. The holding company is also subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve.

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “us”, “we”, “our”, and the “Company” refer to Florida Bank Group, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Any references to the “Bank” refers to Florida Bank.

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.

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;

•

Cross-sell our products and services to our existing customers to leverage our relationships, grow fee income and enhance profitability; and

•

Adhere to safe and sound credit standards.

Our long-term business strategy is geared toward building a preeminent community bank in the state of Florida. The business strategy includes having a significant market share (as defined by deposits), among community banks, in each of the markets in which we currently operate.

During 2010 we entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which we would acquire another community bank in our area. As part of the merger agreement, we had agreed to raise no less than $10 million and no more than $30 million of additional equity in a private placement offering (for which we had $30.0 million in commitments), which primarily would be utilized to reduce the amount of non-performing assets carried on our books. The merger transaction was subject to regulatory approval, which was not received. Consequently the merger agreement and the fully committed private placement offering were terminated in December 2010.

We 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. We also have retail strategies in place to drive more business through our branch infrastructure.

Our Business.

Historically, the Bank’s market areas have been served both by large banks headquartered out of state as well as a number of community banks offering a high level of personal attention, recognition and service. The large banks have generally applied a transactional business approach, based upon volume considerations, to the market, while community banks have traditionally offered a more service relationship approach.

The Bank provides a range of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals and businesses. The basic services offered by the Bank include: demand interest bearing and noninterest bearing accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, safe deposit services, business credit cards, debit cards, direct deposits, notary services, money orders, night depository, travelers’ checks, cashier’s checks, domestic collections, savings bonds, bank drafts, automated teller services, drive-in tellers, banking by mail and the full range of consumer loans, both collateralized and uncollateralized. In addition, the Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial and real estate loans and issues stand-by letters of credit. The Bank provides automated teller machine (ATM) cards permitting our customers to utilize the convenience of the Bank’s ATM network nationwide and internationally. The Bank does not have trust powers and, accordingly, no trust services are provided.

The Bank’s target market is professionals, executives, and small to medium-sized businesses. The small to medium sized business customer (typically a commercial entity with annual sales of $30 million or less) has the opportunity to generate significant revenue for banks yet is generally underserved by large bank competitors.

The revenues of the Bank are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with, real estate and other loans, interest and dividends from investment securities, deposit fee income generated from

demand accounts, ATM fees, and other services. The principal sources of funds for the Bank’s lending activities are deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, loan repayments, and proceeds from investment securities. The principal expenses of the Bank are the interest paid on deposits and borrowings, and operating and general administrative expenses.

As is the case with banking institutions generally, the Bank’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. The Bank faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (the primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans. See “Competition.”

The Company does not believe that it has any lending relationships upon which the Company is dependent. As of December 31, 2010, the largest lending relationship including affiliated entities of the borrower represented 1.6% of the assets of the Company.

Market Area.

Our current primary market area includes the areas surrounding the metropolitan markets of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida. This market area includes the following seven Florida counties: Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee, Duval, St. Johns and Leon.

Banking Services.

Commercial Banking.

The Bank focuses its commercial loan originations on small and mid-sized businesses (generally up to $30 million in annual sales) and such loans are usually accompanied by related deposits. Commercial underwriting is driven by historical and projected cash flow analysis supported by collateral analysis and review. Commercial loan products include small business loans, 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 Bank offers a range of cash management services and deposit products to commercial customers, including electronic banking.

Retail Banking.

The Bank’s retail banking activities emphasize consumer deposit and checking accounts. An extensive range of these services is offered by the Bank to meet the varied needs of its customers from young persons to senior citizens. 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 residential loans, home equity lines of credit, second mortgages, new and used auto loans, new and used boat loans, overdraft protection, and unsecured personal credit lines.

Lending Services.

Loan Portfolio Composition.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our net loan portfolio totaled $572.0 million and $624.7 million, respectively, representing approximately 68.23% and 75.23% of our total assets of $838.4 million and $830.3 million, respectively.

The composition of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is indicated below (in thousands):


	December 31, 2010						December 31, 2009
	Amount			% of Total			Amount			% of Total
Commercial	$	47,475			8.00	%	$	63,439			9.81	%
Commercial Real Estate		329,487			55.53	%		343,028			53.08	%
Residential Mortgage		203,488			34.30	%		220,854			34.17	%
Consumer		12,879			2.17	%		19,027			2.94	%

Total loans		593,329			100.00	%		646,348			100.00	%

Less: Net deferred fees		(454	)					(355	)
Less: Allowance for loan losses		(20,830	)					(21,342	)

Loans, Net	$	572,045					$	624,651

There was approximately $57.1 million in non-accrual loans at December 31, 2010, and $46.9 million (non-accrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due) at December 31, 2009.

Commercial Loans.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our commercial loan portfolio totaled $47.5 million and $63.4 million, respectively. Loans are made for acquisition, expansion, and working capital purposes and may be secured by real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other assets. The financial condition and cash flow of commercial borrowers are monitored by the submission of corporate financial statements, personal financial statements and income tax returns. The frequency of submissions of required financial information depends on the size and complexity of the credit and the collateral that secures the loan. It is our general policy to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of commercial loan borrowers.

Real Estate Loans.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our real estate loan portfolio (comprised of commercial and residential real estate loans) totaled $533.0 million and $563.9 million, respectively. The Bank originates mortgage loans secured by commercial construction, land commercial real estate and residential real estate.

Commercial Real Estate Loans.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our commercial real estate loan portfolio totaled $329.5 million and $343.0 million, respectively, of which $58.2 million and $60.4 million, respectively, represents commercial real estate construction loans and $127.2 million and $132.7 million, respectively, are owner occupied properties. Such loans are primarily secured by retail office buildings, multi-family construction projects, land, and general purpose business space. For construction loans, we lend to credit worthy customers, which may include builders who generally have been in business for a minimum of five years.

We seek to reduce the risks associated with commercial mortgage lending by targeting our market area and underwriting the property and the sponsor. The Bank’s policy states that the maximum loan to value limits are as follows: raw land—65%, land development—75%, and all other commercial real estate—80%. Any exception to the foregoing limits requires the approval of certain officers and/or the Bank’s loan committee.

Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by us are performed by an independent appraiser at the time the loan is made. In addition, our underwriting procedures generally require verification of the borrower’s credit history, income and financial condition, banking relationships, references

and income projections for the property. We generally obtain personal guarantees for our commercial real estate loans, and analyze the guarantor’s global cash flow, personal financial statement and contingent liabilities.

Residential Real Estate Loans.

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our residential real estate loan portfolio totaled $203.5 million and $220.9 million, respectively. The following table provides the components of residential real estate loans ($ in millions):


	December 31, 2010					December 31, 2009
	Amount		% of Total			Amount		% of Total
I-4 Family Residential Construction	$	5.2		2.56	%	$	8.9		4.03	%
Revolving open-end loans (home equity loans)		78.1		38.38	%		87.2		39.47	%
Closed-end loans secured by first liens		94.8		46.58	%		100.4		45.46	%
Closed-end loans secured by junior liens		3.4		1.67	%		2.9		1.31	%
Closed-end loans secured by multi-family		22.0		10.81	%		21.5		9.73	%

Total	$	203.5		100.00	%	$	220.9		100.00	%

Loans to individuals for the construction of their primary or secondary residences are secured by the property under construction.

The loan to value ratio of construction loans is based on the lesser of the cost to construct or the appraised value of the completed home. Construction loans typically have a maturity of 12 months. These construction loans to individuals may be converted to permanent loans upon completion of construction.

We require that a survey be conducted and title insurance be obtained, insuring the priority of our mortgage lien. Typically, the loan to value limit for first mortgage lending on residential real estate is 80% of the lesser of the acquisition cost or the estimate of fair market value.

Home equity loans (revolving open-end loans) are typically made in an amount up to 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan, less the amount of any existing liens on the property. Home equity loans typically have an original maturity of 10 years. Closed-end loans are primarily secured by liens on the property and have fixed terms and maturity dates which can extend up to 15 years. The interest rates on both home equity loans and closed-end loans can be either fixed or variable.

When originating a real estate loan, we obtain a new appraisal of the property from an independent third party to determine the adequacy of the collateral, and the appraisal will be independently reviewed by our loan administrators. Borrowers are required to obtain casualty insurance and, if applicable, flood insurance in amounts at least equal to the outstanding loan balance or the maximum amount allowed by law.

Installment, Consumer and Other Loans

At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our installment and consumer loan portfolio totaled $12.9 million and $19.0 million, respectively. The Bank offers a variety of installment, consumer, and other loans. These loans are typically secured by residential real estate, securities, and Bank certificates of deposit, or personal property, including automobiles and boats. These loans also include unsecured personal loans. The majority of the terms range from 12 months to 60 months.

Credit Administration.

The Bank’s lending activities are subject to written policies approved by the Board of Directors to ensure proper management of credit risk. Loans are subject to a defined credit process that includes credit evaluation of

borrowers, risk-rating of credit, establishment of lending limits and application of lending procedures, including the holding of adequate collateral and the maintenance of compensating balances, as well as procedures for on-going identification and management of credit deterioration. Regular portfolio reviews are performed to identify potential underperforming credits, estimate loss exposure, and ascertain compliance with the Bank’s policies. Management review consists of evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrower and the guarantor, the related collateral and the effects of economic conditions.

The Bank generally does not make commercial or consumer loans outside its market area unless the borrower has an established relationship with the Bank and conducts its principal business operations within the Bank’s market areas. Consequently, the Bank and its borrowers are primarily affected by the economic conditions prevailing in its market areas.

Investment Activity.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity. Subject to our liquidity objective, we seek to earn an acceptable rate of return through investments with a mixture of maturities and compositions. We seek to mitigate interest rate sensitivity; however, we manage our investment portfolio in the context of the Bank’s overall interest rate sensitivity. We seek to accomplish this by matching, to the greatest extent possible, the maturity of assets with liabilities.

We invest primarily in U.S. government and agency obligations, guaranteed as to principal and interest, and to a lesser extent, other high credit quality securities. We enter into federal funds transactions with our principal correspondent banks directly or as an agent.

Competition.

We operate in a highly competitive environment competing for deposits and loans with commercial banks, thrifts and other financial institutions, many of which have greater financial resources than us. Many large financial institutions compete for business in our service area. Certain of these institutions have significantly higher lending limits than we do and provide services to their customers that we do not offer.

We believe we are able to compete favorably with our competitors because we provide responsive, personalized services through our knowledge and awareness of our service area, customers and business.

The following table displays data provided by the FDIC regarding our competition in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee, Duval, St. Johns and Leon counties, Florida (our primary market area), as of June 30, 2010, the latest date for which data was available:


County	Number of Insured Financial Institutions		Number of Retail Branches		Our Deposit Market Share
Hillsborough		57		316		1.44	%
Pinellas		37		312		0.71	%
Sarasota		43		182		0.12	%
Manatee		31		129		0.21	%
Duval		33		199		0.14	%
St. Johns		23		66		1.38	%
Leon		19		95		.92	%

Interest rates, both on loans and deposits, and prices of fee-based services are significant competitive factors among financial institutions generally. Other important competitive factors include office location, office hours, the quality of customer service, community reputation, continuity of personnel and services, and, in the case of larger commercial customers, relative lending limits and the ability to offer sophisticated cash management and

other commercial banking services. Many of our larger competitors have greater resources, broader geographic markets, more extensive branch networks, and higher lending limits than we do. They also can offer more products and services and can better afford and make more effective use of media advertising, support services and electronic technology than we can.

Our largest competitors in the market include: Bank of America, Wells Fargo, SunTrust, BB&T, Regions Financial, and Fifth Third. These institutions capture the majority of the deposits. We believe that community banks can compete successfully by providing personalized service and making timely, local decisions and thus draw business away from larger institutions in the market. We also believe that further consolidation in the banking industry is likely to create additional opportunities for community banks to capture deposits from affected customers who may become dissatisfied as their financial institutions grow larger.

Marketing and Distribution.

In order to market our deposit and loan products, we rely heavily on word of mouth and direct customer contact calling efforts. In addition, our Board of Directors and management team realize the importance of forging partnerships within the community as a method of expanding our customer base and serving the needs of our community. In this regard, we are an active participant in various community activities and organizations. Participation in such events and organizations allows management to determine what additional products and services are needed in our community as well as assisting in our efforts to determine credit needs in accordance with the Community Reinvestment Act.

In addition to our direct contact marketing methods, we use limited local print advertising, product brochures, and direct mail to build our customer base.

Employees.

As of December 31, 2010, we employed 146 full-time employees and 10 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We consider relations with our employees to be good.

Regulatory Considerations.

We must comply with state and federal banking laws and regulations that control virtually all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations generally aim to protect our depositors, not our shareholders or our creditors. Any changes in applicable laws or regulations may materially affect our business and prospects. Such legislative or regulatory changes may also affect our operations. The following description summarizes some of the laws and regulations to which the Bank and we are subject.

The Company.

We are registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, or BHCA. As a result, we are subject to supervisory regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the BHCA, and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives to Address Financial and Economic Crises.

As we discuss in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this Form 10-K, the global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business activity as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the financial system in the past several years. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank

Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, into law. The Dodd-Frank Act will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, including potentially significant regulatory and compliance changes including, among other things, (1) enhanced resolution authority of troubled and failing banks and their holding companies; (2) potential changes to capital and liquidity requirements; (3) changes to regulatory examination fees; (4) changes to assessments to be paid to the FDIC for federal deposit insurance; and (5) numerous other provisions designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthening safety and soundness for, the financial services sector. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new framework for systemic risk oversight within the financial system to be distributed among new and existing federal regulatory agencies, including the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the OCC, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC. Many of the requirements called for in the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to implementing regulations over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage ratio requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes in order to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements. Failure to comply with any such laws, regulations, or principles or changes thereto, may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could be materially adverse to our investors and shareholders.

The following items provide a brief description of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations and activities, both currently and prospectively.

•

Increased Capital Standards and Enhanced Supervision. The federal banking agencies are required to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies. These new standards will be no lower than existing regulatory capital and leverage standards applicable to insured depository institutions and may, in fact, be higher when established by the agencies. Compliance with heightened capital standards may reduce our ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets and thereby restrict revenue generation from banking and non-banking operations. The Dodd-Frank Act also increases regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks, bank holding companies and their respective subsidiaries by the appropriate regulatory agency. Compliance with new regulatory requirements and expanded examination processes could increase the Company’s cost of operations.

•

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new, independent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or the Bureau, within the Federal Reserve. The Bureau is tasked with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of certain consumer financial products and services. The Bureau has rulemaking authority over many of the statutes governing products and services offered to bank consumers. Generally, we will not be directly subject to the rules and regulations of the Bureau. However, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and regulations that are stricter than those regulations promulgated by the Bureau and state attorneys general are permitted to enforce consumer protection rules adopted by the Bureau against certain state-chartered institutions. Any such new regulations could increase our cost of operations and, as a result, could limit our ability to expand into these products and services.

•

Deposit Insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act makes permanent the $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured deposits. Amendments to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act also revise the assessment base against which an insured depository institution’s deposit insurance premiums paid to the FDIC’s

Deposit Insurance Fund, or the DIF, will be calculated. Under the amendments, the assessment base will no longer be the institution’s deposit base, but rather its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act makes changes to the minimum designated reserve ratio of the DIF, increasing the minimum from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent of the estimated amount of total insured deposits, and eliminating the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds. Several of these provisions could increase the FDIC deposit insurance premiums paid by us. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides that, effective one year after the date of enactment, depository institutions may pay interest on demand deposits.

•

Transactions with Affiliates. The Dodd-Frank Act enhances the requirements for certain transactions with affiliates under Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, including an expansion of the definition of “covered transactions” and increasing the amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered transactions must be maintained.

•

Transactions with Insiders. Insider transaction limitations are expanded through the strengthening on loan restrictions to insiders and the expansion of the types of transactions subject to the various limits.

•

Restricts Lending Limits. The Dodd-Frank Act broadens the existing limits on a depository institution’s credit exposure to one borrower. Current banking law limits a depository institution’s ability to extend credit to one person (or group of related persons) in an amount exceeding certain thresholds. The Dodd-Frank Act expands the scope of these restrictions to include credit exposure arising from derivative transactions, repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions.

Permitted Activities.

In 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was enacted, which amended the BHCA by: (i) allowing bank holding companies that qualify as “financial holding companies” to engage in a broad range of financial and related activities; (ii) allowing insurers and other financial service companies to acquire banks; (iii) removing restrictions that applied to bank holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and (iv) establishing the overall regulatory scheme applicable to bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations.

In contrast to financial holding companies, bank holding companies are limited to managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve determines by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. As a bank holding company, these restrictions apply to us. In determining whether a particular activity is permissible, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the performance of such an activity reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects. Possible benefits include greater convenience, increased competition, and gains in efficiency. Possible adverse effects include undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, and unsound banking practices. Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate ownership or control of any subsidiary when the Federal Reserve has reasonable cause to believe that a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that bank holding company may result from such an activity.

Capital; Dividends; Source of Strength.

The Federal Reserve imposes certain capital requirements on bank holding companies under the BHCA, including a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum ratio of “qualifying” capital to risk-weighted assets. These requirements are described below under “Capital Regulations.”

In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, we are expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances in which we might not otherwise do so. In furtherance of this policy, the Federal Reserve may require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or

relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.

The Bank.

The Bank is a banking institution that is chartered by and headquartered in the State of Florida, and it is subject to supervision and regulation by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve, and is subject to other laws and regulations applicable to banks. The Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve supervise and regulate all areas of the Bank’s operations including, without limitation, the making of loans, the issuance of securities, the conduct of the Bank’s corporate affairs, the satisfaction of capital adequacy requirements, the payment of dividends, and the establishment or closing of branches.

Dividends.

The Bank is subject to legal limitations on the frequency and amount of dividends that can be paid to us. The Federal Reserve has restricted the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. These regulations and restrictions may limit our ability to obtain funds from the Bank for our cash needs, including funds for the payment of dividends, interest, and operating expenses.

In addition, Florida law also places certain restrictions on the declaration of dividends from state chartered banks to their holding companies. Pursuant to the Florida Financial Institutions Code, the Board of Directors of state chartered banks, after charging off bad debts, depreciation and other worthless assets, if any, and making provisions for reasonably anticipated future losses on loans and other assets, may quarterly, semi-annually or annually declare a dividend of up to the aggregate net profits of that period combined with the bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two years and, with the approval of the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, declare a dividend from retained net profits that accrued prior to the preceding two years. Before declaring any dividends, 20% of the net profits for the preceding period as is covered by the dividend must be transferred to the surplus fund of the bank until this fund becomes equal to the amount of the bank’s common stock then issued and outstanding. The bank may not declare any dividend if (i) its net income from the current year combined with the retained net income for the preceding two years is a loss or (ii) the payment of a dividend would cause the capital account of the bank to fall below the minimum amount required by law, regulation, order or any written agreement with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation or a federal regulatory agency.

The Company and the Bank have entered into a Regulatory Agreement in which, among other things, they have agreed not to pay any dividends without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. See, “Description of Business—Regulatory Considerations—Regulatory Agreement.”

Community Reinvestment Act.

The Community Reinvestment Act and its corresponding regulations are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks. These regulations provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the needs of its service area. Federal banking agencies are required to make public a rating of a bank’s performance under the Community Reinvestment Act. The FDIC considers a bank’s Community Reinvestment Act rating when the bank submits an application to establish branches, merge, or acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. In the case of a bank holding company, the Community Reinvestment Act performance record of all banks involved in the merger or acquisition are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company. An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction.

Capital Regulations.

The federal banking regulators, including the FDIC, have adopted risk-based capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies and their subsidiary state-chartered banks. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and financial holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets and to achieve greater consistency in evaluating the capital adequacy of major banks throughout the world. Under these guidelines, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories each with designated weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

Federal laws and regulations establish a capital-based regulatory scheme designed to promote early intervention for troubled banks and require the FDIC to choose the least expensive resolution of bank failures. The capital-based regulatory framework contains five categories of compliance with regulatory capital requirements, including “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” To qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution, a bank must have a leverage ratio of no less than 5%, a Tier I risk-based ratio of no less than 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of no less than 10%, and the bank must not be under any order or directive from the appropriate regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital level. Generally, a financial institution must be “well capitalized” before the Federal Reserve will approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire or merge with a bank or bank holding company. At December 31 2010, The Bank’s Tier I capital and total capital ratios were 9.70% and 10.98%, respectively, and its leverage capital ratio was 6.48%.

Under the regulations, the applicable agency can treat an institution as if it were in the next lower category if the agency determines (after notice and an opportunity for hearing) that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or is engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. The degree of regulatory scrutiny of a financial institution will increase, and the permissible activities of the institution will decrease, as it moves downward through the capital categories. Institutions that fall into one of the three undercapitalized categories may be required to (i) submit a capital restoration plan; (ii) raise additional capital; (iii) restrict their growth, deposit interest rates, and other activities; (iv) improve their management; (v) eliminate management fees; or (vi) divest themselves of all or a part of their operations. Bank holding companies controlling financial institutions can be called upon to boost the institutions’ capital and to partially guarantee the institutions’ performance under their capital restoration plans.

The minimum ratios referred to above are merely guidelines and the bank regulators possess the discretionary authority to require higher ratios.

Bank Secrecy Act/ Anti-Money Laundering.

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”) was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks occurring on September 11, 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act is intended to strengthen the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities’ ability to work together to combat terrorism. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, amended the Bank Secrecy Act and adopted additional provisions that increased the obligations of financial institutions, including the Bank, to file reports and maintain records, to identify their customers, watch for and report upon suspicious transactions, respond to requests for information by federal banking and law enforcement agencies, and share information with other financial institutions. In addition, the collected customer identification information must be verified within a reasonable time after a new account is opened through documentary or non-documentary methods.

In 2007, the FDIC and the other federal financial regulatory agencies issued an interagency policy on the application of section 8(s) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. This provision generally requires each federal banking agency to issue an order to cease and desist when a bank is in violation of the requirement to establish

and maintain a Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (BSA/AML) compliance program, or, in the alternative, the bank fails to correct a deficiency that has been previously cited by the federal banking agency with respect to the bank’s BSA/AML compliance program. The policy statement provides that, in addition to the circumstances where the agencies will issue a cease and desist order in compliance with section 8(s), they may take other actions as appropriate for other types of BSA/AML program concerns or for violations of other BSA requirements. The policy statement also does not address the independent authority of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to take enforcement action for violations of the BSA.

Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003.

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003, which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act, enhances consumers’ ability to combat identity theft, increases the accuracy of consumer reports, allows consumers to exercise greater control over the type and amount of marketing solicitations they receive, restricts the use and disclosure of sensitive medical information, and establishes uniform national standards in the regulation of consumer reporting.

In 2007, the Federal Reserve and the other federal financial regulatory agencies together with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Trade Commission issued final regulations (Red Flag Regulations) enacting Sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003. The Red Flag Regulations require banks to have identity theft policies and programs in place. The Red Flag Regulations require banks to develop and implement an identity theft protection program for combating identity theft in connection with new and existing consumer accounts and other accounts for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft.

Consumer Laws and Regulations.

The Bank is also subject to other federal and state consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the following list is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, Check Clearing for the 21^st Century Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits or making loans to customers. The Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of its ongoing customer relations.

Future Legislative Developments.

Various legislative acts from time to time are introduced in Congress and the Florida legislature. This legislation may change banking statutes and the environment in which we and the Bank operate in substantial and unpredictable ways. We cannot determine the ultimate effect that potential legislation, if enacted, or implementing regulations with respect thereto, would have upon our financial condition or results of operations or that of the Bank.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies.

The commercial banking business in which the Bank engages is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, availability of borrowing at the “discount window,” open market operations, the imposition of changes in reserve requirements against member banks’ deposits and assets of foreign branches and the imposition of and changes in reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates are some of the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve. These monetary policies are used in

varying combinations to influence overall growth and distributions of bank loans, investments and deposits, and this use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks and are expected to do so in the future. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve are influenced by various factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes in the international trade balance and in the fiscal policies of the U.S. Government. Future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of the Bank cannot be predicted.

Income Taxes.

We are subject to income taxes at the federal level and subject to state taxation in Florida. We file consolidated federal and state tax returns with a fiscal year ending on December 31.

Regulatory Agreement.

During 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “FRB”) conducted a periodic examination of the Bank and as a consequence of this examination, entered into a Written Agreement (the “Regulatory Agreement”) with the Company, effective March 1, 2011. The Regulatory Agreement, among other requirements, provides that the Company’s Board of Directors will take steps to ensure that the Bank complies with the agreement and will strengthen its oversight of the management and operations of the Bank. In addition, the Regulatory Agreement provides that the Bank:

•

Will within 60 days of the Regulatory Agreement, submit to the FRB a written plan to strengthen Board oversight and also credit risk management practices;

•

Will revise its lending and credit administration policies and procedures;

•

Will submit to the FRB an acceptable written program to ensure the accurate grading of loans and to ensure independent loan portfolio reviews;

•

Will not extend or renew credit to borrowers with criticized loans without the prior approval of the majority of the board of directors or a designated committee thereof;

•

Will submit a revised business plan for 2011 to improve its earnings and overall condition;

•

Will not declare or pay any dividends or take any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without prior regulatory approval;

•

Will not incur, increase or guarantee any debt or redeem any shares without prior regulatory approval;

•

Will not appoint any new directors or senior executive officers without prior regulatory approval;

•

Will review and revise its ALLL methodology consistent with relevant supervisory guidance, and;

•

Will submit an acceptable enhanced written internal audit program that addresses a variety of internal risk assessment and audit program activities.

The Company and the Bank have agreed to submit an acceptable plan to maintain sufficient capital at the Bank as a separate legal entity on a stand-alone basis, not declare or pay any dividends without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, comply with restrictions on indemnification and severance payments under applicable law, and seek the approval of the Federal Reserve before the appointment of any new director or executive officer. In addition, the Company has agreed that it:

•

Will submit to the Federal Reserve an acceptable plan to maintain sufficient capital at the Company on a consolidated basis; and

•

Will not incur or increase any debt, or purchase or redeem any of its shares without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.

The Company is committed to taking all necessary actions to promptly address the requirements of the Regulatory Agreement.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. If any of the risks discussed in this Form 10-K actually occur, or if additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we do not currently believe to be important to you, materialize, our business, results of operations or financial condition would likely suffer. If this were to happen, the value of our shares could decline significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risk factors described below are not the only ones that may affect us. Our forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are subject to the following risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors below. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Related to our Business.

Regulatory Risks

Difficult market conditions and economic trends have adversely affected our industry and our business and may lead to increased government regulation.

Dramatic declines in the housing market, with decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage and construction loans and resulted in significant write-downs of assets by many financial institutions. General downward economic trends, reduced availability of commercial credit and increasing unemployment have negatively impacted the credit performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in increased write-downs. Concerns over the stability of the financial markets and the economy have resulted in decreased lending by financial institutions to their customers and to each other. This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased commercial and consumer deficiencies, lack of customer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction in general business activity. Financial institutions have experienced decreased access to deposits and borrowings.

The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the financial markets may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure is made more complex by these difficult market and economic conditions. We also expect to face increased regulation and government oversight as a result of these downward trends. This increased government action may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities. We also may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently increased level, because financial institution failures resulting from the depressed market conditions have depleted and may continue to deplete the deposit insurance fund and reduce its ratio of reserves to insured deposits.

We do not believe these difficult conditions are likely to improve in the near future. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult economic conditions on us, our customers and the other financial institutions in our market. As a result, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.

Recent legislative and regulatory initiatives may not improve economic conditions.

The U.S. federal, state and foreign governments have taken extraordinary actions in an attempt to deal with the worldwide financial crisis and the severe decline in the global economy. To the extent adopted, many of these actions have been in effect for only a limited time, and have produced limited or no relief to the capital, credit and real estate markets. There is no assurance that these actions or other actions under consideration will ultimately be successful.

In the United States, the federal government has adopted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (enacted on October 3, 2008), or the EESA, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

(enacted on February 17, 2009), or the ARRA. With authority granted under these laws, the Treasury Department has enacted a financial stability plan intended to:

•

provide for the government to invest additional capital into banks and otherwise facilitate bank capital formation;

•

temporarily increase the limits on federal deposit insurance; and

•

provide for various forms of economic stimulus, including assisting homeowners restructure and lower mortgage payments on qualifying loans.

As discussed below, the Dodd-Frank Act was enacted in 2010 to address numerous issues in the Financial Services industry. There can be no assurance that these initiatives or any other legislative or regulatory initiatives enacted or adopted in response to the ongoing economic crisis, will be effective at dealing with the ongoing economic crisis and improving economic conditions globally, nationally or in our markets or that the measures adopted will not have adverse consequences.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and the laws and regulations that govern our operations, corporate governance, executive compensation and accounting principles, or changes in them, or our failure to comply with them, may adversely affect us.

We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations. Intended to protect customers, depositors and deposit insurance funds, these laws and regulations, among other matters, prescribe minimum capital requirements, impose limitations on the business activities in which we can engage, and limit the dividends or distributions that the Bank can pay to the Holding Company. Compliance with laws and regulations can be difficult and costly, and changes to laws and regulations often impose additional compliance costs. Further, our failure to comply with these laws and regulations, even if the failure follows good faith effort or reflects a difference in interpretation, could subject us to additional restrictions on its business activities, fines and other penalties, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, capital base and the price of our securities.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, into law. The Dodd-Frank Act will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, including significant regulatory and compliance changes. Many of the requirements called for in the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to implementing regulations over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. In particular, the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations and activities, both currently and prospectively, include, among others:

•

a reduction in our ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets as a result of compliance with heightened capital standards;

•

increased cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks and bank holding companies, and higher deposit insurance premiums;

•

the limitation on our ability to raise capital through the use of trust preferred securities, as these securities may no longer be included as Tier 1 capital going forward; and

•

the limitation on our ability to expand consumer product and service offerings due to anticipated stricter consumer protection laws and regulations.

Further, we may be required to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act. Failure to comply with the new requirements may negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could be materially adverse to our investors.

Our current operations and activities are subject to heightened regulatory oversight which may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

In March 2011, the Company and the Federal Reserve entered into the Regulatory Agreement. See, “Description of Business—Regulatory Considerations—Regulatory Agreement.”

As a result of all of the Regulatory Agreement, our operations, lending activities and capital levels are subject to heightened regulatory oversight, over and above the extensive regulation which normally applies to us under existing regulations, which could increase our expenses and could negatively impact our business. In addition, failure to comply with these heightened requirements could lead to additional regulatory actions, expenses and other restrictions.

We are subject to restrictions as a result of our participation in the U.S Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program.

We voluntarily participated in the TARP Capital Purchase Program and are subject to various restrictions as defined therein, including standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for as long as the Treasury holds our Series A and B Preferred Stock. These standards generally apply to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the three next most highly compensated senior executive officers. The standards include (1) ensuring that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the financial institution; (2) required clawback of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate; (3) prohibition on making golden parachute payments to senior executives; and (4) agreement not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive.

Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, further compensation restrictions, including significant limitations on incentive compensation and “golden parachute” payments, have been imposed on our most highly compensated employees, which may make it more difficult for us to retain and recruit qualified personnel, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulatory restrictions on hiring, compensating and indemnifying directors and senior executive officers may adversely affect us.

The FRB requires us to seek approval before electing any new directors or senior executive officers. Such hiring restrictions and inability to indemnify, and to pay any such persons “golden parachute” payments upon the termination of their service, may adversely affect our ability to attract or retain the qualified persons we need to operate our business.

Other Business Risk

Changes in business and economic conditions, in particular those of the Florida markets in which we operate, could continue to lead to lower asset quality, and lower earnings.

Unlike larger national or regional banks that are more geographically diversified, our business and earnings are closely tied to more local business and economic conditions, particularly the economy of Florida. The Florida economy is heavily influenced by real estate and other service-based industries. Factors that could affect the local

economy include a rise in unemployment, declines in tourism, higher energy costs, reduced consumer or corporate spending, natural disasters or adverse weather, the recent and possibly continuing significant decline in real estate values and the recent significant deterioration in general economic conditions. Evidence of the economic downturn in Florida is reflected in current unemployment statistics. The Florida unemployment rate at December 31, 2010 was 11.6%. The unemployment rate in many of our markets is even higher than for the state. The unemployment rate, as of December 31, 2010, for each of the counties in which we operate was as follows: Hillsborough—11.6%; Pinellas—11.7%; Sarasota—11.4%; Manatee—11.8%; Duval—11.4%; St. Johns—9.6% and Leon—8.3%. A worsening of the economic conditions in Florida would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on our customers, which may have a negative impact on our financial results. A sustained economic downturn could continue to adversely affect the quality of our assets, credit losses, and the demand for our products and services, which would lead to lower revenue and lower earnings. We monitor the value of collateral, such as real estate, that secures loans we have made. A decline in the value of collateral could also reduce a customer’s borrowing power.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption over the past several years. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, our ability to access capital and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The loss of key personnel may adversely affect us.

Our success is, and is expected to remain, highly dependent on our senior management team. It is our management’s extensive knowledge of and relationships in the community that generate business for us. The loss of such employees could adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct our business, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results and the value of our common stock.

Our prospects are dependent upon the validity and implementation of our business plan.

Our future prospects will be dependent upon whether we realize the anticipated growth opportunities from the successful execution of our business plan. Even if the business plan can be implemented successfully, this may not result in the realization of the expected benefits. Even if these benefits are achieved, they may not be achieved within the near term. Failure to manage growth effectively in the future could have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects, financial condition or results of operations and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.

An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce our earnings.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the quality of our assets, particularly loans. In originating loans, there is a substantial risk that credit losses will be experienced. The risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for the loan. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, anticipated experience, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for probable incurred credit losses based upon recent loss history and for specific loans when their ultimate collectability is considered questionable.

As of December 31, 2010, our allowance for loan losses was $20.8 million, which represented approximately 3.5% of total loans. We had $57.1 million in non-performing loans as of December 31, 2010. The allowance may not prove sufficient to cover future loan losses. Although management uses the information it has available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used or adverse developments arise

with respect to our non-performing or performing loans. Accordingly, the allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover loan losses or significant increases to the allowance may be required in the future if economic conditions should worsen. Material additions to our allowances for loan losses would adversely impact our net income and capital.

Nonperforming assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

At December 31, 2010, nonperforming loans totaled $57.1 million, or 9.7%, of our loan portfolio. At December 31, 2010, our nonperforming assets (which include foreclosed real estate) were $64.1 million or 6.8% of total assets. At December 31, 2010, our nonperforming loans had increased by $10.1 million and our nonperforming assets had increased by $8.4 million since December 31, 2009. In addition, we had approximately $15.7 million in accruing loans that were 30 to 89 days delinquent at December 31, 2010. Our non-performing assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions, such as local and state unemployment rates, a decrease in foreclosure rates and an improvement in average home sale prices, improve, we expect to continue to incur additional losses relating to an increase in non-performing loans. We do not record interest income on non-accrual loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. When we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the collateral to its then fair value less expected selling costs, which, when compared to the principal amount of the loan, may result in a loss. These non-performing loans and other real estate owned also increase our risk profile and the capital our regulators believe is appropriate in light of such risks. The resolution of nonperforming assets requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which can be detrimental to the performance of their other responsibilities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience further increases in nonperforming loans in the future or that our nonperforming assets will not result in future losses.

Management believes the primary contributors to the increase in nonaccrual loans are the result of the downturn in the economy which has had a particular impact on certain of our borrowers in our markets and declining commercial real estate values. The downturn in discretionary consumer spending has also had a negative impact as it relates to our lending on income producing properties such as the hotel/motel portfolio and commercial retail and office properties. In addition, declines in household income and a rise in unemployment have caused deterioration in the owner occupied single family residential portfolio, while the decline in real estate activity has negatively impacted our speculative residential, construction and land development loans. Management believes these loan categories and commercial real estate generally pose the greatest risks looking forward.

Some of our borrowers will not repay their loans, and losses from loan defaults may exceed the allowance we establish for that purpose, which may have an adverse effect on our business.

Some of our borrowers inevitably will not repay loans that we make to them. There was a significant rise in the number of foreclosures in Florida, particularly in our market areas, over the past several years. This risk is inherent in the banking business. If a significant number of loans are not repaid, it would have an adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition.

Our loan portfolio includes a substantial amount of commercial and commercial real estate loans that have higher risks.

Our commercial and commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $377.0 million and $406.5 million, respectively, or 63.5% and 62.9% of total loans, respectively. Commercial and commercial real estate loans generally carry larger loan balances and can involve a greater degree of financial and credit risk than other loans. As a result, banking regulators continue to give greater scrutiny to lenders with a high concentration of commercial real estate loans in their portfolios, and such lenders are

expected to implement stricter underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as higher capital levels and loss allowances. The increased financial and credit risk associated with these types of loans are a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the size of loan balances, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.

During 2006, the federal bank regulatory agencies released guidance on “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending” (the “Guidance”). The Guidance defines commercial real estate loans as exposures secured by raw land, land development and construction (including 1-4 family residential construction), multi-family property, and non-farm nonresidential property where the primary or a significant source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50% or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, non-affiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. The Guidance requires that appropriate processes be in place to identify, monitor and control risks associated with real estate lending concentrations. This could include enhanced strategic planning, underwriting policies, risk management, internal controls, portfolio stress testing and risk exposure limits as well as appropriately designed compensation and incentive programs. Higher allowances for loan losses and capital levels may also be required. The Guidance is triggered when either:

•

total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land constitute 100% or more of a bank’s total risk based capital; or

•

total reported loans secured by multifamily and nonfarm nonresidential non-owner properties and loans for construction, land development, and other land constitute 300% or more of a bank’s total risk-based capital.

The total reported loans for construction, land development, and other land as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 97.7% and 85.6%, respectively, of the Bank’s total risk based capital.

The total reported loans secured by multifamily and nonfarm nonresidential properties and loans for construction, land development, and other land as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 constituted 341.0% and 287.1%, respectively, of the Bank’s total risk based capital.

The Guidance applies to the lending activities of the Bank. Although our regulators have not required us to maintain elevated levels of capital or liquidity due to our commercial real estate loan concentrations, they may do so in the future, especially if there is a further downturn in our local real estate markets.

In addition, when underwriting a commercial or industrial loan, the Bank may take a security interest in commercial real estate, and, in some instances upon a default by the borrower, we may foreclose on and take title to the property, which may lead to potential financial risks for us under applicable environmental laws. If hazardous substances were discovered on any of these properties, we may be liable to governmental agencies or third parties for the costs of remediation of the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of whether the Bank knew of, or was responsible for, the contamination.

Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate or commercial project. If the cash flows from the project are reduced, a borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. This cash flow shortage may result in the failure to make loan payments. In such cases, the Bank may be compelled to modify the terms of the loan. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor. As a result, repayment of these loans may, to a greater extent than residential loans, be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economy.

We may need additional capital resources in the future and these capital resources may not be available when needed or at all. If we do raise additional capital, stockholders’ ownership could be diluted.

We may need to incur additional debt or equity financing in the future to maintain our operations. Such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Further, our Articles of Incorporation do not provide shareholders with preemptive rights and such shares may be offered to investors other than shareholders at the discretion of the Board. If we do sell additional shares of common stock to raise capital, the sale could dilute stockholders’ ownership interest and such dilution could be substantial.

We may incur losses if we are unable to successfully manage interest rate risk.

Our profitability depends to a large extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between income on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities, and expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and the Bank’s borrowings. We are unable to predict changes in market interest rates, which are affected by many factors beyond our control, including inflation, recession, unemployment, money supply, domestic and international events and changes in the United States and other financial markets. Our net interest income may be reduced if: (i) more interest-earning assets than interest-bearing liabilities re-price or mature during a time when interest rates are declining or (ii) more interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets re-price or mature during a time when interest rates are rising.

Changes in the difference between short- and long-term interest rates may also harm our business. For example, short-term deposits may be used to fund longer-term loans. When differences between short-term and long-term interest rates shrink or disappear, as is possible in the current exceptionally low interest rate policy environment, the spread between rates paid on deposits and received on loans could narrow significantly, decreasing our net interest income.

If market interest rates rise rapidly, interest rate adjustment caps may limit increases in the interest rates on adjustable rate loans, thereby reducing our net interest income.

Our loan portfolio includes loans with a higher risk of loss, particularly because our loan portfolio is heavily concentrated in loans secured by properties in Florida.

We originate commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, construction loans, consumer loans, and residential mortgage loans primarily within our market area. We believe that our commercial real estate, including construction loans, commercial, and consumer loans present the largest risk to our loan portfolio. Commercial real estate, including construction, and commercial loans tend to involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers and are more susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle. These loans also have greater credit risk for the following reasons:

•

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service. These loans also involve greater risk because they are generally not fully amortizing over a loan period, but rather have a balloon payment due at maturity. A borrower’s ability to make a balloon payment typically will depend on the borrower being able to either refinance the loan or timely sell the underlying property.

•

Commercial Loans. Repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business. In addition, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, be difficult to appraise, illiquid, or fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.

•

Construction Loans. The risk of loss is largely dependent on our initial estimate of whether the property’s value at completion equals or exceeds the cost of property construction and the availability of take-out financing. During the construction phase, a number of factors can result in delays or cost overruns. If our estimate is inaccurate, which is acutely possible as real estate prices continue to

decrease, or if actual construction costs exceed estimates, the value of the property securing our loan may be insufficient to ensure full repayment when completed through a permanent loan or by seizure of collateral.

These risks inherent in our loan portfolio are exacerbated by the geographic concentration of our loan portfolio. Our interest-earning assets are heavily concentrated in loans secured by real estate, particularly real estate located in Florida. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 89.83% of our loans had real estate as a primary, secondary, or tertiary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower; however, the value of the collateral may decline during the time the credit is outstanding, and, therefore, the collateral may become insufficient to protect us from substantial losses. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan during a period of reduced real estate values, such as in today’s market, to satisfy the debt, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2010 substantially all of our loans secured by real estate are secured by commercial and residential properties located in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee, Duval, St. Johns and Leon counties, Florida. The concentration of our loans in these areas subjects us to the risk that a continued downturn in the economy in these areas, such as the one the areas are currently experiencing, could result in a decrease in loan originations and increases in delinquencies and foreclosures, which would more greatly affect us than if our lending were more geographically diversified. In addition, since a large portion of our portfolio is secured by properties located in Florida, the occurrence of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, or oil spill, could result in a decline in loan originations, a decline in the value or destruction of mortgaged properties and an increase in the risk of delinquencies, foreclosures or loss on loans originated by us. We may suffer losses if there is a decline in the value of the properties underlying our mortgage loans, which would have an adverse impact on our operations.

Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition.

Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities on terms that are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry or economy in general. Factors that could negatively impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans are concentrated, adverse regulatory action against us, and our inability to attract and retain deposits. Our ability to borrow could be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry in light of recent turmoil faced by banking organizations and the unstable credit markets.

Concerns of customers over deposit insurance may cause a decrease in our deposits.

With increased concerns about bank failures, customers are increasingly concerned about the extent to which their deposits are insured by the FDIC. Customers may withdraw deposits from the Bank in an effort to ensure that the amount that they have on deposit at the Bank is fully insured. Decreases in deposits may adversely affect our funding costs and net income.

Future economic growth in our Florida market area is likely to be slower compared to previous years.

The State of Florida’s population growth has historically exceeded national averages. Consequently, the state has experienced substantial growth in population, new business formation and public works spending. Due to the recent economic recession and reduced migration into our market area and the downturn in the real estate market, management believes that growth in our market area will be restrained in the near term. We have experienced an overall slowdown in the origination of residential mortgage loans for sale recently due to the

slowing in residential real estate sales activity in our markets. A decrease in existing and new home sales decreases lending opportunities and negatively affects our income. We do not anticipate that the housing market will improve in the near-term, and accordingly, this could lead to additional valuation adjustments on our loan portfolios.

The market value of our investments could decline.

Our investment securities portfolio as of December 31, 2010 has been designated as available-for-sale, which requires that unrealized gains and losses in the estimated value of the available-for-sale portfolio be “marked to market” and reflected as a separate item in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2010, we maintained $177.5 million or 100% of our total securities as available-for-sale. Shareholders’ equity will continue to reflect the unrealized gains and losses of these investments. The market value of our investment portfolio may decline, causing a corresponding decline in shareholders’ equity. Management believes that several factors will affect the market values of our investment portfolio. These include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates or expectations of changes, the degree of volatility in the securities markets, inflation rates or expectations of inflation and the slope of the interest rate yield curve (the yield curve refers to the differences between shorter-term and longer-term interest rates; a positively sloped yield curve means shorter-term rates are lower than longer-term rates). These and other factors may impact specific categories of the portfolio differently, and we cannot predict the effect these factors may have on any specific category.

The Bank and we are subject to extensive governmental regulation.

The Bank and we are subject to extensive governmental regulation that is intended primarily to protect depositors and the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund, rather than our shareholders. We, as a bank holding company, are regulated primarily by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is a commercial bank chartered by the State of Florida and regulated by the Federal Reserve and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. These federal and state bank regulators have the ability, should the situation require, to place significant regulatory and operational restrictions upon us and the Bank. The Bank’s activities are also regulated under consumer protection laws applicable to our lending, deposit and other activities. A significant claim against us under these laws could have a material adverse effect on our results.

The banking industry is very competitive.

The banking business is highly competitive and the Bank competes directly with financial institutions that are more established and have significantly greater resources and lending limits. As a result of those greater resources, the larger financial institutions may be able to provide a broader range of products and services to their customers than us and may be able to afford newer and more sophisticated technology than us. Our long-term success will be dependent on the ability of the Bank to compete successfully with other financial institutions in their service areas.

Reputational risk and social factors may negatively impact us.

Our ability to attract and retain depositors and customers is highly dependent upon consumer and other external perceptions of either or both of our business practices and financial condition. Adverse perceptions could damage our reputation to a level that could lead to difficulties in generating and maintaining deposit accounts, accessing credit markets and increased regulatory scrutiny on our business. Borrower payment behaviors also affect us. To the extent that borrowers determine to stop paying on their loans where the financed properties’ market values are less than the amount of their loan, or otherwise, our costs and losses may increase. Adverse developments or perceptions regarding the business practices or financial condition of our competitors, or our industry as a whole, may also indirectly adversely impact our reputation.

In addition, adverse reputational impacts on third parties with whom we have important relationships may also adversely impact our reputation. All of the above factors may result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which may lead to laws or regulations that may change or constrain the manner in which we engage with our customers and the products we offer and may also increase our litigation risk. If these risks were to materialize they could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Florida financial institutions, such as the Bank, face a higher risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.

Since September 11, 2001, banking regulators have intensified their focus on anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance requirements, particularly the anti-money laundering provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. There is also increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). Since 2004, federal banking regulators and examiners have viewed Florida as a high risk market with respect to the institutions’ Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance. Consequently, while numerous formal enforcement actions have been issued against Florida financial institutions, to date, none has been issued against the Bank relating to the Bank Secrecy Act.

In order to comply with regulations, guidelines and examination procedures in this area, the Bank has been required to adopt policies and procedures and to install systems. If the Bank’s policies, procedures and systems are deficient or the policies, procedures and systems of the financial institutions that we may acquire in the future are deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions such as restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, including our acquisition plans. In addition, because the Bank operates in Florida, the Bank could face a higher risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with respect to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.

Confidential customer information transmitted through the Bank’s online banking service is vulnerable to security breaches and computer viruses, which could expose the Bank to litigation and adversely affect their reputation and ability to generate deposits.

The Bank provides its customers the ability to bank online. The secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet is a critical element of online banking. The Bank’s networks could be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes and other security problems. The Bank may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches and computer viruses, or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches or viruses. To the extent that the Bank’s activities or the activities of its customers involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, security breaches and viruses could expose the Bank to claims, litigation and other possible liabilities. Any inability to prevent security breaches or computer viruses could also cause existing customers to lose confidence in the Bank’s systems and could adversely affect its reputation and its ability to generate deposits.

We cannot predict how changes in technology will impact our business.

We use various technologies in our business, including telecommunication, data processing, computers, automation, internet-based banking, and debit cards. Technology changes rapidly. Our ability to compete successfully with other banks and non-banks may depend on whether we can exploit technological changes. We may not be able to exploit technological changes, and any investment we do make may not make us more profitable.

Risks Related to an Investment in our Common Stock.

There is no established trading market for our common stock and shareholders may not be able to resell your shares.

The shares of our common stock are not currently traded on any securities exchange and do not have an established trading market. Although our shares are registered with the SEC under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, this does not mean that our common stock will be listed or traded on a securities exchange. We currently have no immediate plans to apply to list our common stock on any exchange and we do not expect our common stock to be quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system such as the “pink sheets.”

Our management holds a large portion of our common stock.

As of December 31, 2010, our directors and executive officers owned 5,952,491 shares of our common stock, or approximately 41.54% of our total outstanding shares, assuming all of their vested options are exercised. As a result, our directors and management, if acting together, may be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of extraordinary transactions. Management may also have interests that differ from other stockholders and may vote in a way that is adverse to other stockholders’ interests. The concentration of ownership may delay, prevent or deter a change-in-control, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.

Articles of Incorporation, and certain laws and regulations may prevent or delay transactions you might favor, including our sale or merger.

We are registered with the Federal Reserve as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act. As a result, we are subject to supervisory regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve. The Bank Holding Company Act and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, certain laws and regulations and various other factors may make it more difficult and expensive for companies or persons to acquire control of us without the consent of our Board of Directors. It is possible, however, that other stockholders would want a takeover attempt to succeed because, for example, a potential buyer could offer a premium over the then prevailing price of our common stock.

For example, our Articles of Incorporation permit our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder action. The ability to issue preferred stock could discourage a company from attempting to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. We are also subject to certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act and our Articles of Incorporation that relate to business combinations with interested shareholders.

We are subject to evolving and expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements. Our failure to adequately adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business.

We are subject to certain federal, state and other rules and regulations, including applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Compliance with these evolving regulations is costly and requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Although we have reviewed our disclosure and internal controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to

prevent errors or frauds in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system are met. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.

We have not paid cash dividends to our common shareholders and have no plans to pay future cash dividends to our common shareholders.

Since we have not generated net income over the past several years, we have no current plans to pay cash dividends to our common shareholders. In addition, the terms of our Preferred Stock precludes us from paying cash dividends on our shares of common stock. Because we have not paid cash dividends, holders of our common stock will experience a gain on their investment in our common stock only in the case of an appreciation of value of our common stock. Stockholders may not experience an appreciation in value.

Our preferred shares impact net income available to our common shareholders and our earnings per share

As long as there is Preferred Stock outstanding, no dividends may be paid on our common stock unless all dividends on the preferred shares have been paid in full. The dividends declared on our Preferred Stock will reduce the net income available to common shareholders and our earnings per common share.

Holders of the Preferred Stock have certain voting rights that may adversely affect our common shareholders, and the holders of shares of our Preferred Stock may have different interests from, and vote their shares in a manner deemed adverse to, our common shareholders.

So long as shares of the Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders required by law or our amended and restated charter, the vote or consent of holders owning at least 66 ²/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding is required for:

•

any authorization or issuance of shares ranking senior to the Preferred Stock;

•

any amendment to the rights of the Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Preferred Stock; or

•

consummation of any merger, share exchange or similar transaction unless the shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, or if we are not the surviving entity in such transaction, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving entity and the shares of Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting power as are not materially less favorable to the holders than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting power of the shares of Preferred Stock. Holders of Preferred Stock could block the foregoing transaction, even where considered desirable by, or in the best interests of, holders of our common stock.

We are not paying dividends on our preferred stock and the failure to resume paying dividends on our preferred stock may adversely affect us.

At December 31, 2010, we had $421,000 in unpaid dividends owing on our Preferred Stock. To date, we have missed two quarterly dividend payments. If we miss six quarterly dividend payments, whether or not consecutive, the U.S Treasury will have the right to appoint two directors and/or observers to our board of directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid.

Our shares of common stock are not an insured deposit.

Our shares of our common stock are not a bank deposit and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency.

Absence of Public Market.

Our common stock has not traded on any exchange or over-the-counter market. There is no established public trading market for our securities. We currently have no plans to publicly offer any shares of our common stock.

Sale of Restricted Shares.

All our shares of Common Stock, and all shares subject to outstanding options, were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale if registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or sold in accordance with Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933. These shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. As of December 31, 2010, a total of 9,744,559 shares of our common stock can be immediately sold pursuant to Rule 144 and we have not agreed to register any shares of our common stock under the Securities Act of 1933.

Dividends.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. We do not currently pay dividends on our common stock, nor do we intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the near future. In the event that we decide to pay dividends, there are a number of restrictions on our ability to do so. We are precluded from paying common dividends while our shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

For a foreseeable period of time, our principal source of cash revenues will be dividends paid by the Bank with respect to its common stock. There are certain restrictions on the payment of these dividends imposed by federal banking laws, regulations and authorities. See “Item 1. Description of Business—Regulatory Considerations—Regulatory Agreement.”

The declaration and payment of dividends on our common stock will depend upon our earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, our ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to the common stock, other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors and consent from regulatory authorities, under the Regulatory Agreement entered into during March 2011.

Equity Compensation Plan Information.

The Company has a non-qualified stock option plan for employees, directors and officers of the Company and the Bank. The Stock Option Plan, dated October 24, 2002, which was amended in 2007 (the “Stock Option Plan”), provides for the issuance of stock options to employees and/or directors who are contributing significantly to the management or operation of our business or that of its subsidiaries as determined by the committee administering the plan. The plan was approved by our shareholders. The plan provides for the grant of options at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a committee designated by our Board of Directors to administer the plan. The options will expire upon the first to occur of the following:

•

Expiration of the term specifically in the option, which date may not exceed the tenth anniversary of the date the option is granted;

•

The date that is 90 days from the date of the termination of an optionee’s employment or service for any reason except death or disability; and

•

Twelve months from the date an optionee’s employment is terminated due to death or disability.

Under the Stock Option Plan, 1,700,000 Shares have been reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2010, a total of 173,947 options had been exercised and an aggregate of 539,250 stock options were outstanding. In 2008, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options and at December 31, 2010, all of the stock options are fully vested and currently exercisable. The weighted average exercise price of all outstanding options is $15.57 per Share.

Each stock option granted under the plan has a maximum term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination in the event the participant ceases to be an employee or serve on a board. The exercise price of an option granted under the plan may be established in the sole discretion of the board of directors. In general, options vest equally over a three year period from the date of the grant, except as otherwise determined by our board of directors. The purchase price of shares is payable in cash immediately upon the exercise of the option.

Each stock option granted under the Stock Option Plan is non-transferable and exercisable only during the holder’s lifetime. In the event that the holder dies prior to exercising an option, such option may be exercised by the personal representative of the estate of such holder for a period of one year after such representative’s appointment.

Restricted Stock Plan

During 2005, we adopted and the shareholders approved a Restricted Stock Plan (“RSP”) under which up to 250,000 shares (amended) of our stock could be awarded to directors and officers. These restricted shares were earned over five years at a rate of 33.3% each year of continued service to the Company after two years. The fair

value of all restricted stock issued was based on an independent appraisal which was being amortized over a five year period. In 2008, we accelerated the vesting of all restricted stock and at December 31, 2008 all restricted stock was fully vested. As of December 31, 2008, there no restricted shares remaining to be granted or vested under the plan and at December 31, 2010, 64,650 shares with a Weighted-Average Grant-Date-Fair Value of $7.92 were outstanding and fully vested.

During 2010, we adopted a 2010 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, we may issue a maximum 750, 000 with a maximum of 75,000 that can be granted to independent Directors and a maximum of 350,000 shares to be granted in any one calendar year. No shares were issued under the Plan during 2010.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

There were no sales of our securities during 2010.

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

The following management’s discussion and analysis provides supplemental information, which sets forth the major factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. The analysis is divided into subsections entitled “Performance Overview and Analysis of Financial Condition,” “Results of Operations,” “Market Risk,” “Liquidity,” “Capital Resources,” “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements,” and “Critical Accounting Policies.” The following information should provide a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how our current performance compares with prior periods.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Performance Overview and Analysis of Financial Condition.

We are a bank holding company and the parent company of Florida Bank. We have experienced operating losses during recent reporting periods. Our loss in 2010 was primarily attributable to our provision for loan losses and our income tax expense. Many of our borrowers continued to experience deterioration in the performance of their business and/or reductions in their liquidity position. As a consequence, the performance of our loan portfolio declined and we recorded in 2010, a provision for loan losses of $28.2 million, which is an increase of $8.7 million over 2009. A large portion of our loan portfolio was secured by real estate. The Florida real estate market has experienced particularly pronounced declines in value. As this trend continued into 2010, loan collateral and foreclosed assets experienced continued declines in market value, which impacted our results through our provision for loan losses, costs of collection and the net carrying costs of other real estate owned.

During 2010, our net interest margin improved to 2.75% up from 2.37% in 2009, on the strength of lower interest expenses primarily due to lower deposit rates.

We recorded a tax expense during 2010 which included the effects of recording a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset of $35.1 million. We determined that given our continued history of operating losses over the past three years, it was more likely than not that we would not be able to realized the deferred tax asset.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a net loss available to common shareholders of $55.9 million, or $3.90 per basic and diluted share. These results compared with a net loss of $22.7 million, or $1.83 per basic and diluted share for 2009. This increase in the net loss is mostly attributable to the items described above.

While we continue to develop new business relationships, the economic environment is difficult, with many borrowers facing reduced liquidity, less robust operating results and declining asset values. As a consequence, we have experienced a reduction in our loan assets as a result of loan payoffs from borrowers who are deleveraging and reduced levels of new business originations. The combination of these developments has led to reduced operating performance as our interest income is reduced due to lost revenue on non performing assets.

Net interest income increased in 2010 to $22.1 million from $19.3 million for 2009. During 2010, our interest income decreased by $2.6 million due to lower loan volume due to decreased demand, write-offs and re-payments, in addition to the non recognition of interest income on loans placed on nonaccrual. Offsetting the decrease in interest income was a decrease in interest expense of $5.5 million as a result of decreases in our deposit rates and our retirement of high cost FHLB advances.

Non-interest income, which includes service charges on deposit accounts, investment securities gains and losses, real estate fees and other operating income, increased to $4.7 million in 2010 from $0.5 million in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.0 million realized gain on the sale of securities available sale in addition to the effects of recording an other-than- temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of securities available for sale in 2010 of $0.5 million versus an OTTI of $1.2 million in 2009.

Non-interest expense for 2010 was $29.5 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, from $32.8 million in 2009. The decrease in non-interest expense is primarily attributable to the charge for goodwill impairment of $4.7 million in 2009 versus $0.0 million recorded in 2010, a decrease in expenses relating to foreclosed properties of $0.6 million and $0.5 million of lower FHLB prepayment penalties, offset in part by increased salary and benefit costs and professional fees. The increase in professional fees is mostly related to the merger and acquisition related activities, public company and capital raise expenses incurred during 2010. The increase in salary and benefit cost result from an increase in higher level personnel at the end of 2009 and at the beginning of 2010 in addition to favorable bonus adjustments made in 2009 that were not repeated in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, total assets increased by $8.0 million or 1.0% compared to December 31, 2009, due to a $77.7 million increase in securities available for sale and a $10.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, offset in part by a $52.6 million decrease in net loans and a $23.4 million decrease in deferred tax assets.

As of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses totaled $20.8 million, or 3.51% of total loans. The allowance represents 36.51% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2010. Annual net charge-offs represented 4.63% of average loans as of December 31, 2010, compared with 2.40% as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses totaled $21.3 million, or 3.30% of total loans. The allowance represents 45.4% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2009. Annual net charge-offs represented 2.40% of average loans as of December 31, 2009, compared with 0.32% as of December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2010, total deposits were $712.3 million, an increase of $81.9 million or 13.0% compared to December 31, 2009. Non-interest-bearing deposits were $68.2 million at December 31, 2010 an increase of $12.9 million from December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, interest-bearing deposits increased by $69.0 million or 12.0% to $644.2 million compared to $575.1 million at December 31, 2009.

Borrowed funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and secured borrowings, totaled $67.7 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $81.7 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $14.0 million or 17.1%.

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

Total equity decreased by $59.8 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $54.5 million, an unrealized loss on securities of $4.5 million and preferred stock dividends and accretion of $0.7 million.

Book value per common share decreased to $2.29 at December 31, 2010 from $6.48 at December 31, 2009.

Net Interest Income.

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared with year ended December 31, 2009:

Net interest income increased $2.8 million, or 14.7%, to $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase is the result of a $5.4 million decrease in interest expense, offset in part by a $2.6 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 were generally re-priced into a 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 year ended December 31, 2010 was $351.8 million and 2.79% respectively, compared to an average balance and interest rate paid of $401. 6 million and 3.60%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The decrease in interest on loans was primarily the result of a reduction in our average loan balances and an increase in the non recognition of interest income on non accruing loans. The balance in non accruing loans was $57.1 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $10.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2009. Average loan balances were $631.3 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $23.5 million from the average loan balance at December 31, 2009.

In the near term we expect our interest expense related to time deposits to continue its decline while interest expense related to other deposits are expected to increase commensurate with anticipated deposit growth.

Year ended December 31, 2009 compared with year ended December 31, 2008:

Net interest income decreased $.1 million, or 0.4%, to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Both interest income and interest expense were reduced for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. Although our gross loans decreased from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009, the decrease in interest on loans was primarily the result of the reduction in interest rates in 2008 decreasing the yield on our floating rate loans for the full year in 2009 and the non recognition of interest income on non accruing loans. Interest expense also decreased by $4.9 million from 2008 to 2009 as a result of decreases in our deposit rates and our retirement of high cost FHLB advances. Our time deposits maturing in 2009 were generally re-priced into a low interest rate environment resulting in a decrease in our interest expense. Time deposits carry a fixed rate of interest to maturity and most of our borrowings also provide for a fixed rate of interest until maturity. We reduced our interest expense on borrowings through the early retirement of certain higher cost advances.

The following table reflects the components of net interest income, setting forth for the 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).

Year ended December 31, 2010 compared with the year ended December 31, 2009:

The $3.3 million, or 10.1% decrease in noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to the difference in recognizing a permanent impairment of goodwill of $4.7 million in 2009 and no impairment recognized in 2010. In addition, losses and expenses related to foreclosed real estate in 2010 was $0.6 million less than those recorded in 2009 and prepayment penalties for Federal Home Loan Bank loans were $0.5 million less than those incurred in 2009. Partially offsetting the decrease is a $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and $0.7 million increase in professional fees. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily result from the full-year effect of an increase in the number of employees in connection with the opening of two new branches towards the end of the second quarter of 2009 in addition to an increase in senior level employees during the end of 2009 and in the first three months of 2010, primarily in the credit administration and loan workout areas and in business development areas. The increase in professional fees is mostly related to the proposed merger and acquisition related activities, public company and capital raise expenses incurred during 2010. See “Business Strategy” above for a discussion of our merger activity.

Year ended December 31, 2009 compared with the year ended December 31, 2008:

Total noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $32.8 million decreased by $14.5 million or 30.7% compared to $47.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, non interest expense included decreases of $10.6 of goodwill impairment charges, $4.6 million of salary and benefits, $1.4 million of stock based compensation expense and $0.5 million of data processing costs and increases of $1.3 million of FDIC assessments and $0.9 million of expenses relating to the carrying costs of real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure or similar proceedings and $1.7 million of write-downs and loss on sale of foreclosed real estate.

Income Taxes.

We and our 100% owned subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return (2006 to present) for federal and state purposes. Prior to 2006, we filed as a Subchapter S corporation. Our shareholders terminated the Subchapter S election effective at December 31, 2005. We have reported a cumulative tax loss for the period since our termination of our S election on December 31, 2005, through December 31, 2010. During the periods, through the year ending December 31, 2009, we recorded an accumulated net tax benefit and determined that no valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset was required. However, during 2010, based on our analysis, we determined that that a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset was required and accordingly an allowance of $35.2 million was recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized an income tax expense of $23.7 million compared to an income tax benefit of $10.4 million for the year December 31, 2009. Please see Note 10 of our December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on income taxes.

Loan Portfolio.

Our loan portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within our primary market areas of greater Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida. The table below shows our loan portfolio composition for the periods presented.

Total gross loans decreased by $53.0 million or 8.2% during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009. The decrease is attributable to several factors including loan payoffs as a result of our borrowers’ deleveraging, reduced levels of new loan demand and in some cases loan charge offs. Our loan composition remains relatively consistent at December 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009, with commercial real estate comprising a slightly larger portion of the portfolio and residential, commercial and consumer loans comprising a slightly smaller portion of the portfolio.

Allowance and Provision 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 in management’s judgment, the loan’s lack of collectability is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

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

For quantitative loss factors, management has determined the historical loss rate for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics and has then considered the current qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ from the group’s historical loss experience. The overall effect of these factors on each loan group has been reflected as an adjustment that, as appropriate, increases or decreases the historical loss rate applied to each loan group.

We segregate our portfolio of loans not deemed to be impaired by call report category for the purposes of calculating and applying historical loss factors, adjustment factors and total loss factors. Considerable judgment is necessary to establish adjustment factors.

The adjustment factors described below are deemed to be applied to pass credits. Through our reserve methodology, these factors are scaled higher if applied to weak pass, special mention or substandard credits.

The following current environmental factors have been taken into consideration in determining the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”):

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses;

Changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of the lending management and other relevant staff;

Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

Changes in the quality of our loan review system;

Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.

The specific component of the allowance relates to loans that are impaired. 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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis 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. It should be noted that substantially all of our impaired loans are collateral dependent and thus impairment is usually measured by the fair value of the collateral method.

Large groups of smaller homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

As of December 31, 2010 we held an allowance for loan losses of $20.8 million or 3.51% of total loans compared to the allowance for loan losses of $21.3 million or 3.30% at December 31, 2009. Based on an analysis performed by management as of December 31, 2010 management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover probable incurred credit losses in the portfolio as of that date. Although we believe we use the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if facts and circumstances differ from those previously assumed in the determination of the allowance. For example, a prolonged downturn in real estate values and economic conditions could have an adverse impact on our asset quality and may result in an increase in future loan charge-offs and loan loss provisions, and may also result in the decrease in the estimated value of real estate we acquired through foreclosure. Additionally, our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and the estimated values of real estate acquired through foreclosure. Accordingly, we may be required to take certain charge offs and/or recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses, or record write downs on the carrying values of foreclosed real estate based on the regulators’ judgment concerning information available to them during their examination as well as other factors they utilize for all banks.

As a direct result of these factors and analyses in conjunction with the sustained weakness in asset values, particularly real estate, we recorded a loan loss provision of $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010,

an increase of $8.7 million compared to the provision recorded for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $19.5 million. We establish specific reserves for impaired loans and general reserves for the remainder of the portfolio as follows (in thousands):


	December 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Specific Reserves:
Impaired loans with no specific reserves	$	34,028		$	27,606
Impaired loans with specific reserves		26,055			39,583

Total impaired loans	$	60,083		$	67,189
Reserve	$	9,890		$	8,801
Reserve % of impaired loans		16.46	%		13.10	%

General Reserves
Loans subject to general reserve	$	533,246		$	579,159
Reserve	$	10,940		$	12,542
Reserve % of loans		2.05	%		2.17	%

Our reserves for loans with specific reserves were approximately $9.9 million as of December 31, 2010 and approximately $8.8 million as of December 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the specific reserve was reduced by approximately $29.2 million of charge-offs, including charge-offs of the specific reserves on the large relationships. Loans with specific reserves, net of charge-offs, foreclosures, sales and payoffs decreased approximately $7.1 million from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010. This reduction was primarily due to charge offs of previously impaired loans during 2010. The December 31, 2010 balances include three large loan relationships totaling approximately $9.0 million that carried aggregate specific reserves of approximately 52% of the aggregate loan balances of these relationships.

Our general reserve for unimpaired loans was 2.05% of subject loans as of December 31, 2010 and 2.17% of subject loans as of December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the loan portfolio subject to the general reserve decreased approximately $45.9 million. Approximately $21.5 million of residential mortgage loans, $12.6 million of commercial non real estate loans, $10.5 million of commercial real estate and $1.1 million of consumer loans were no longer subject to the general reserve as a result of impairment, charge-offs, foreclosures, sales and/or payoffs. Management evaluates the reserves on a regular basis to determine its adequacy.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to income in the current period to replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level that management has determined to be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. The higher provisions for loan losses in 2010 and 2009 are primarily attributable to the continued contraction of residential real estate activity and the ripple effect on our local economies as well as the increase in our nonperforming loans, delinquencies and charge-offs compared to prior years. The continued local economic contraction is evidenced by increased unemployment levels in the markets in which we operate and additionally, the impact of foreclosures and distressed sales is negatively impacting the value of real estate.

As noted above, 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. Due to the economic slowdown discussed above, some of our customers are exhibiting increasing 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. The allowance is also subject to examination testing by regulatory agencies, which may consider such factors as the methodology used to determine adequacy and the size of the allowance relative to that of peer institutions, and other adequacy tests. In addition, such regulatory agencies could require us to adjust the allowance based on information available to us at the time of their examination.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the activity in our loan loss allowance was as follows:

Impaired Loans

Under generally accepted account principles, a loan is impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be repaid according to its contractual terms, including both principal and interest. Management performs individual assessments of impaired loans to determine the existence of loss exposure as described above.

The following is an analysis of impaired loans as of December 31, 2010:

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.

We place loans on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. In addition, all previously accrued and uncollected interest and late charges are reversed through a charge to interest income. While loans are on nonaccrual status, interest income is normally recognized only to the extent cash is received until a return to accrual status is warranted. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest have been paid.

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.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had $1.5 million and $21.4 million, respectively, in restructured loans that are in compliance with their modified terms. The criteria for a restructured 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 loan otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. Since these loans have met these criteria, management does not consider these loans to be non-performing and has not included them in the table above.

An analysis of the increase in non performing loans by segment is as follows (in thousands):

Total	$	57.1		143

As of December 31, 2010 the Company has foreclosed real estate of $7.0 million, of which $5.7 million is non residential owner occupied properties comprised of 7 distinct properties.

Management believes the primary contributor to the increase in nonaccrual loans is the downturn in the economy, which has had a disproportionately negative impact on certain of our borrowers in our markets, and the decrease in commercial real estate values. The immediate effect of this downturn has been the reduction in discretionary consumer spending, as it relates to our lending on income producing properties, such as the hotel/motel portfolio and commercial retail properties. In addition, declines in household income and a rise in unemployment have caused deterioration in the owner occupied single family residential portfolio, while the decline in real estate activity has negatively impacted our speculative residential and construction and land development loans.

Market Risk.

Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities as a financial intermediary. To succeed in our capacity as a financial intermediary, we offer an extensive variety of financial products to meet the diverse needs of our customers. These products sometimes contribute to interest rate risk for us when product groups do not complement one another. For example, depositors may want short-term deposits while borrowers desire long-term loans. Changes in market interest rates may also result in changes in the fair value of our financial instruments, cash flows, and net interest income.

Interest rate risk is comprised of re-pricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and options risk. Re-pricing risk arises from differences in the cash flow or re-pricing between asset and liability portfolios. Basis risk arises when asset and liability portfolios are related to different market rate indexes, which do not always change by the same amount. Yield curve risk arises when asset and liability portfolios are related to different maturities on a given yield curve; when the yield curve changes shape, the risk position is altered. Options risk arises from “embedded options” within asset and liability products as certain borrowers have the option to prepay their fixed rate loans when rates fall while certain depositors can redeem their certificates of deposit early when rates rise.

We have established an Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) for the Bank, which is responsible for the oversight of the Bank’s interest rate risk management. We have engaged an independent third party firm to assist us in performing interest rate risk measurements. The primary interest rate risk measures used by us include earnings simulation. Following is a table showing our interest rate risk profile for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009:

INTEREST RATE RISK


	Changes in Currrent Interest Rates
Company Policy Limit	Flat Up 500BP			Up 400 BP			Up 200 BP			Down 100BP

Sensitivity at December 31, 2009		-0.70	%		-0.02	%		-0.20	%		-0.90	%

At this time, we do not use derivative financial instruments for market risk management purposes.

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 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.

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 Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“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 federal funds lines of credit, which may be used to access short term funds.

The Bank has established contingency plans in the event of extraordinary fluctuations in cash resources as described below.

Major sources of increases and decreases in cash and cash equivalents are as follows for the years ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:


(Dollars in thousands)	2010			2009			2008

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	10,940		$	(52,435	)	$	(3,151	)

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Bank had unfunded loan commitments and unused lines and letters of credit totaling approximately $74.1 million and $71.9 million, respectively. See Note 11 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion. 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 below.

The Bank has unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $14.0 million from a correspondent bank. Further, the Bank has invested in FHLB stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the FHLB. The credit availability to the Bank is based on the amount of collateral pledged and limited by a percentage of the Bank’s total assets as reported on the most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the regulators. As of December 31, 2010, we had $67.7 million of FHLB advances outstanding and $28.8 million of letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida. Our unused borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $42.6 million. At December 31, 2009, there was $81.7 million in advances outstanding, in addition to $24.8 million in letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida. Borrowings are collateralized by the Bank’s qualifying one-to-four family residential mortgage, multi-family, home equity, second mortgage and certain commercial real estate loans. The amount of unused borrowing capacity at December 31, 2009 was $28.7 million.

As of December 31, 2010 our gross loan to deposit ratio was 83.3% 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.

Investment Activity.

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 shareholders’ equity. A change in the value of securities held to maturity could also negatively affect the level of shareholders’ 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 December 31, 2010, our securities portfolio totaled $177.5 million compared to $99.8 million as of December 31, 2009, an increase of $77.7 million. For both periods, all of our securities were classified as available for sale. The increase in the investment portfolio during 2010 is primarily reflected in the purchases of government sponsored mortgaged-backed securities. We do not actively trade securities and do not expect to do so in the future.

The following table sets forth the carrying amount of our investment portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008:

Please see Note 1 to our December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to our securities classified as available-for-sale.

Securities of a single issuer that had book values in excess of 10% of our shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2010 included bonds issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). This exposure includes mortgage pass through securities issued directly by these agencies as well as collateralized mortgage obligations, or CMOs, issued with GNMA or FNMA underlying securities. Mortgage backed securities tend to have final maturities which are often times, substantially longer than their average lives. As of December 31, 2010, our securities portfolio had an unrealized loss of approximately $4.1 million on a pretax basis.

Other Than Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”)

As of December 31, 2007 we owned approximately $5.3 million of private label asset backed securities at amortized cost. Between 2007 and 2008, these securities, which were rated AAA by either Moody’s or S&P at purchase, experienced a significant decline in market value. We utilized a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach in order to evaluate these securities for other than temporary impairment of value. Our evaluation resulted in the recognition of an OTTI of $2.4 million on these securities during the period between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. During 2009 and the period ending December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of certain of these securities declined further due to the occurrence of additional defaults by certain underlying issuers and 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 an additional $0.5 million and $1.2 million of other than temporary impairment loss, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During 2010, we sold all of the securities that had an OTTI, except one, which is valued at zero.

Deposits

The Bank’s primary source of funds is deposits. Those deposits are provided by businesses, municipalities, and individuals located within the markets served by our bank.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, total deposits increased $81.9 million to $712.3 million compared to $630.4 million as of December 31, 2009.

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 the distribution by type of our deposit accounts was as follows:

Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by us on a periodic basis. The determination of rates and terms is predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations.

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 growth activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.

As of December 31, 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 December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 for the Company:


	As of December 31, 2010			As of December 31, 2009
Total Risk Based Capital Ratio		11.06	%		15.01	%
Tier One Risk Based Capital Ratio		9.78	%		13.74	%
Tier One Leverage Ratio		6.46	%		10.64	%

In May and June of 2009, we sold 4,584,756 shares of common stock through a rights offering solely to existing shareholders for proceeds of $18.3 million.

On July 24, 2009, we sold 20,471 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value of $.01 per share, and 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 terms of the Series A preferred stock require quarterly dividend payments (the “CPP Dividends”) of (i) 5% of the outstanding principal during the first five years the issue is outstanding after which the dividend rate increases to 9%, and (ii) 9% on the outstanding principal of the Series B payable quarterly. A discount was recorded on the preferred stock, which is being accreted over a five year period.

Prior to the payment of 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 were 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 and that all future requests for CPP Dividend payments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2010, the amount of CPP dividends unpaid and in arrears totaled $421,000.

We believe that we have sufficient cash to meet our operating needs in the near term. However, if we incur significant operating losses or we increase our assets faster than our current plans, we may need to obtain additional capital to support our business plans and operations.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. We currently do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the near future. In the event that we decide to pay dividends, there are a number of restrictions on our ability to do so. We are precluded from paying cash dividends on common stock while the preferred stock issue described above remains outstanding.

The declaration and payment of dividends on our common stock will depend upon our earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, our ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to the common stock and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Regulatory authorities in their discretion could impose administratively stricter limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us if such limits were deemed appropriate to preserve certain capital adequacy requirements.

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.

Critical Accounting Policies.

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 statement of financial condition 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 which 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 which 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 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 which are deemed to be not solely collateral dependent, a reserve for impairment is established equal to the excess of the loan balance and 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 income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The

determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss carry forward, which expires in the years 2027, 2028, and 2029, as well as other deductible temporary differences is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income. During the year ended December 31, 2010, management determined that is was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $35.1 million was recorded, reducing the net balance to zero.

Other Than Temporary Impairment

Impairment of investment securities results in a write-down that must be included 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 has impacted our results in prior years presented, or will likely impact our results in 2011.

Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) was carried out as of December 31, 2010, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer), our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) and other members of senior management, 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 have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the framework established in a report entitled “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and the interpretive guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-55929.

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.

The Company’s Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Based on this assessment Management believes that as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the final ruling by the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in its annual report.

The Audit Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, meets periodically with Management and Hacker Johnson and Smith, PA, to discuss audit, financial and related matters. Hacker Johnson and Smith, PA, have direct access to the Audit Committee.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Florida Bank Group, Inc.

Tampa, Florida:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Florida Bank Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General. 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. The Bank was acquired in January 2002. In December 2006, Bank of North Florida, which was owned 100% by the Holding Company, began banking operations. Florida Bank of Jacksonville was acquired in September 2007. On January 25, 2008, Florida Bank of Jacksonville acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Bank of North Florida. On January 25, 2008, Bank of North Florida changed its main office to an office in Sarasota, Florida and changed its name to Florida Bank of Sarasota. On December 5, 2008, Florida Bank of Sarasota was merged into the Bank. The Bank of Tallahassee was acquired in May 2007. On March 30, 2009, the Company merged Florida Bank of Jacksonville and The Bank of Tallahassee into the Bank.

ACIC Properties, Inc. was established in 2007 to hold foreclosed real estate of the Bank. During 2007, the Holding Company formed FB Tech and Services, Inc. (“FB Tech”) to provide operational support services to the banking subsidiaries. FB Tech’s sole source of revenue was derived from management fees charged to the Bank for services provided. FB Tech was dissolved on January 1, 2009. Florida Bank Mortgage, Inc. was also a subsidiary of the Holding Company. Florida Bank Mortgage, Inc. was formed on February 6, 2008 to provide mortgage services on behalf of the Bank. On March 2, 2009, the Holding Company dissolved Florida Bank Mortgage, Inc. 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 residential loans, home equity lines of credit, second mortgages, new and used auto loans, new and used boat loans, overdraft protection, and unsecured personal credit lines. Commercial and small business loan products include SBA loans, 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 following is a description of the significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company, which conform to U.S. accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Holding Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates. In preparation of 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 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

Banks are required to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash or in a noninterest-earning account with the Federal Reserve Bank or in noninterest-earning accounts with other qualified banks based on the balances of their transaction deposit accounts. The Bank’s reserve requirements at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $7.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

Securities. The Company may classify its securities as either trading, held-to-maturity or available for sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available for sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities, net of tax are excluded from operations and reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities available for sale are recognized in interest income using the constant yield method over the average life. 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 a loss in the consolidated statements 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 consolidated statements of operations, while the impairment related to all other factors is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).

Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off, are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and amortized, and both are recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual 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 as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on at least a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the fair value of the loan’s collateral is less than the recorded value of the loan, for collateral dependent loans. For impaired loans that are not collateral dependent, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows of such loans are lower than their carrying values. 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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis 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. It should be noted that substantially all of our impaired loans are collateral dependent and thus impairment is usually measured by the fair value of the collateral method.

The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These factors include: consideration of the reliability of the bank’s loan grading system, the volume of criticized loans, concentrations of credit, the current level of past due and non performing loans, past loan experience, evaluation of probable losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio, including adversely classified loans, and the impact of market conditions on loan and collateral valuations and collectability.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure, is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in operations.

Premises and Equipment. Land is stated at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the lease terms. The Company charges amounts expended for maintenance and repairs to operations as incurred. Expenditures for improvements and major renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are recognized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, such as premises and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the assets can be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of long-lived assets is dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to maintain profitability, so as to be able to meet its obligations when they become due. In the opinion of management, based upon current information and projections, long-lived assets will be recoverable over the period of benefit.

Intangible Asset and Goodwill. The intangible asset consisted of core deposits as a result of the acquisition of the Bank in 2002 and The Bank of Tallahassee and Florida Bank of Jacksonville in 2007. The intangible asset was being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows: The Bank, 7 years; The Bank of Tallahassee, 6.25 years; Florida Bank of Jacksonville, 5 years. Amortization expense of $133 and $465 was recorded in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The intangible asset subject to amortization was reviewed for impairment at each reporting period on the basis of the expected future undiscounted operating cash flows without interest charges to be derived from those assets. In 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges of $181 and $376, respectively, against its intangible asset, which is included in other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the balance of the intangible asset was zero.

Goodwill represented the excess cost of the Bank’s, The Bank of Tallahassee’s and Florida Bank of Jacksonville’s acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually to determine whether the value is impaired. If impaired, the difference between the carrying amount reflected on the consolidated financial statements and its current fair value is recognized as a loss in the period in which the impairment occurs. Goodwill is impaired when the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value of the entity. Valuation techniques based on discounted cash flows similar to models employed in analyzing the purchase price of the acquisition are used to estimate the fair value of the entity. Based on the impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2009, there was an impairment of goodwill of $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. An impairment test was done during 2008 and resulted in an impairment of goodwill of $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the balance of goodwill was zero.

Transfer of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. A participating interest is a portion of an entire financial asset that (1) conveys proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder (2) involves no recourse (other than standard representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, and (3) does not entitle any participating interest holder to receive cash before any other participating interest holder.

Stock Compensation Plans. The Company expenses the fair value of any stock options granted. The measurement and recognition of compensation for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including stock options is based on estimated fair values. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in salaries and employee benefits for officers and employees and in other expense for directors in the consolidated statements of operations. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The Company also has a stock compensation plan in the form of restricted stock which was recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the vesting period (see Note 9).

Comprehensive Loss. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net operations. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net loss, are components of comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. ASC Topic 740 also results in two components of income tax expense, current and deferred. Current taxes are calculated by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income taxes result from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2010, management determined that is was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $35.2 million was recorded.

As of December 31, 2010, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income taxes.

The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns. The Bank computes federal and state income taxes as if it files separate returns and remits to, or is reimbursed by, the Company based on their portion of taxes currently due or refundable.

Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Loss Per Common Share. Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for 2010, 2009 and 2008 due to the net loss incurred by the Company.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments. In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of unfunded loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded.

Fair Value Measurements. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

The following describes valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

Securities Available for Sale. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities.

Impaired Loans. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management related to values of properties in the Company’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values estimates for foreclosed real estate are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents represents fair value.

Securities—Fair value for securities are based on the framework for measuring fair value established by GAAP.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock and Federal Reserve Bank Stock—The stock is not publicly traded and the estimated fair value is based on its redemption value of $100 per share.

Loans—For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are based on the framework for measuring fair value established by GAAP.

Deposit Liabilities—The fair values disclosed for demand, savings and money-market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—Fair values for Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on borrowings with similar terms and maturities.

Accrued Interest—The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments—Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Interest-Rate Risk. The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and its interest expense on interest- bearing liabilities. The Bank, like most financial institutions, is affected by changes in general interest rate levels and by other economic factors beyond its control. Interest-rate risk arises from mismatches between the dollar amount of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities (the interest-rate sensitivity gap), and is measured in terms of the ratio of the interest-rate sensitivity gap to total assets. More assets repricing or maturing than liabilities over a given time frame is considered asset-sensitive or a positive gap, and more liabilities repricing or maturing

F-14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

than assets over a given time frame is considered liability-sensitive, or a negative gap. An asset-sensitive position will generally enhance income in a rising interest rate environment and will negatively impact income in a falling interest rate environment, while a liability-sensitive position will generally enhance earnings in a falling interest-rate environment and will negatively impact income in a rising interest rate environment. Fluctuations in interest rates are not predictable or controllable. The Company has attempted to structure its asset and liability management strategies to mitigate the impact on net interest income resulting from changes in market interest rates.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

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 did not have any 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

F-15

FLORIDA BANK GROUP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

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 adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s 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.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosures will require significantly more information about credit quality in a financial institution’s loan portfolio. This statement addresses only disclosures and does change recognition or measurement of the allowance. This statement was effective for us on January 1, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2011 the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” This ASU temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.

Reclassification. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

(2) Securities Available for Sale.

Securities available for sale have been classified according to management’s intent. The carrying amount of securities and their approximate fair values are summarized as follows:

Total	$	99,106	$	1,868	$	(1,198	)	$	99,776

(1)	These securities are backed by subprime residential and home equity loans.

Gross proceeds from the sale of securities classified as available for sale was approximately $132.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and resulted in gross gains of $3.3 million and gross losses of $0.3 million. Gross proceeds from the sale of securities classified as available for sale was approximately $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and resulted in gross gains of $183 and gross losses of $230. Gross proceeds from the sale of securities classified as available for sale was approximately $29.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and resulted in gross gains of $465 and gross losses of $907.

The following tables classify those securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, based upon length of time in a continuous loss position. The tables show the current fair value of the securities and the amount of unrealized loss for each category of investment:


	As of December 31, 2010

Asset-backed securities		—		—		406		135

	$	631	$	47,325	$	567	$	724

The unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would 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 security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any credit losses. The losses are therefore not considered other-than-temporary.

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 our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

In evaluating non-agency 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, 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

F-18

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

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.

The key base assumptions for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities used during 2010 are in the table below:


Prepayment rate		5%-40% CPR
Loss severity		50%-100%
Cumulative default rate		7%-43%
Principal write-down		0-100%

Loss severity rates are estimated based on collateral characteristics and generally range from 55-75% for SF first mortgages and 80-90% for home equity mortgages.

In 2010, the Company recorded a $0.5 million OTTI charge to write down two asset-backed securities to their fair values. As of December 31, 2010, only one of the securities for which an OTTI charge was recorded remains on the Company’s books, at a value of zero. The Company intended to sell the related securities, as such, the entire OTTI loss was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. In 2009 , the Company recorded a $1.2 million OTTI charge to adjust for credit losses relating to four mortgage backed securities and one asset-backed security with a total remaining principal balance of $1.1 million and fair value of $771. In 2008, the Company recorded an OTTI loss of $0.2 million relating to approximately $0.2 million in asset-backed securities.

The table below provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized in operations for the year ending December 31, 2010 relating to the Company’s available for sale debt securities:


Balance, at January 1, 2010	$	1,184
Additions for credit losses on securities previously impaired		549
Reduction for securities sold during the year		(1,193	)

Balance, at December 31, 2010	$	540

The following table sets forth the changes in the allowance and an allocation of the allowance by loan category as of December 31, 2010. The allocation of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current economic factors described above in note 1.

The credit quality of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 based on internally assigned grades follows:

Total	$	47,475	$	329,487	$	203,488	$	12,879	$	593,329		100.0	%

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

•

Pass—Loan’s primary source of repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

•

Special Mention—Loan has potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. Usually 60 days past due. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the loan’s repayment prospects or our credit position at some future date. Such loans are not adversely classified.

•

Substandard—Loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Such loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the full repayment of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

•

Substandard—Nonaccrual—Loan has all the characteristics of a substandard credit with payments having ceased or collection of payments in question. There is probability of loss, but the loss estimation is precluded until its more exact status may be determined.

•

Doubtful—Loan has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Partial valuation charge-offs in this category are common.

•

Loss—Loan is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The Company leases an administrative office and certain banking offices. The terms of the leases range from ten years to twenty years. The leases require the Company to pay certain insurance, maintenance and real estate taxes and also contain renewal options and escalation clauses. Rental payments are subject to periodic adjustments as set forth in the lease agreements. During 2010 the Company entered into two arrangements to sublease certain excess space in its downtown Tampa, Florida and downtown Jacksonville, Florida locations. The terms of the sublease arrangements range from six to nine years. The terms of the subleases require the sublessee to pay certain insurance, maintenance and real estate taxes and contain renewal options. Rent expense was approximately $2,592, $2,611 and $2,901 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable leases are as follows:

During 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company prepaid $14.0 million, $27.0 million and $27.0 million, respectively, of FHLB advances and incurred prepayment penalties of $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on the Company’s qualifying multifamily, 1-4 family mortgage, home equity lines and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2010, the lendable collateral value of these loans was $139.1 million. Certain of the advances listed above are subject to changes in interest rates.

(7) Derivate Financial Instruments

Fair Value Hedges. The Florida Bank of Jacksonville had entered into interest-rate swap agreements with the objective of converting a portion of its fixed rate brokered certificates of deposits (“CD”) to a variable rate. The swap agreements provided for the Bank to pay a variable rate of interest based on the three-month London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) and to receive a fixed rate of interest. Under the swap agreements the Bank was to pay or receive interest quarterly. Amounts to be paid or received under these swap agreements were accounted for on an accrual basis and recognized as interest expense of the related liability. The net cash flows related to fair value hedges decreased interest expense on certificates of deposit by approximately $266 during 2008. On August 21, 2008, Florida Bank of Jacksonville terminated the interest rate swap.

(8) 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 stock option plan. Under the plan, the total number of shares which may be issued shall not exceed 1,700,000 (amended). 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. At December 31, 2010, 986,803 shares remain available for grant. All amounts reflect a 2-for-1 stock exchange in 2007. A summary of stock option transactions follows:


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term
Outstanding at December 31, 2007		1,263,354		$	15.12
Options granted		140,000			15.43
Options exercised		(44,167	)		13.33
Options forfeited		(342,137	)		15.27

Outstanding at December 31, 2008		1,017,050			15.06
Options forfeited		(91,800	)		15.01

Outstanding at December 31, 2009		925,250			15.12
Options forfeited		(386,000	)		14.49

Outstanding at December 31, 2010		539,250		$	15.57		6.0 years

Exercisable at December 31, 2010		539,250		$	15.57		6.0 years

There were no options granted or exercised during the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The fair value of each option granted for the year ended December 31, 2008 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2008
Risk-free interest rate		2.20%-3.75%
Dividend yield		— %
Expected stock volatility		40%
Expected life in years		6
Per share grant-date fair value of options issued during the year	$	2.31-$3.13

The Company examined its historical pattern of options exercised in an effort to determine if there were any patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance issued by the SEC to determine the estimated life of options. Due to the lack of an actively trading market, expected volatility is based on historical volatility of similar financial institutions. 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 dividend yield assumptions are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $0. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2008 was $100 with no related income tax benefit recognized. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was $1,841 for the year ended December 31, 2008 with an associated income tax benefit recognized of approximately $734.

(9) Restricted Stock Plan

During 2005, the Company adopted and the shareholders approved a Restricted Stock Plan (“RSP”) under which up to 250,000 shares (amended) of the Company’s stock could be awarded to directors and officers. These restricted shares were earned over five years at a rate of 33.3% each year of continued service to the Company after two years. The fair value of all restricted stock issued was based on an independent appraisal which was being amortized over a five year period. In 2008, the Company accelerated the vesting of all restricted stock and at December 31, 2008 all restricted stock was fully vested. During 2008, the Company recognized $370 in expense under this plan and recognized a tax benefit of $139. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no restricted shares remaining to be granted or vested under the plan. At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, 64,650 shares with a Weighted-Average Grant-Date-Fair Value of $7.92 were outstanding and fully vested.

During 2010, the Company adopted a 2010 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company may issue a maximum 750,000 with a maximum of 75,000 that can be granted to independent directors and a maximum of 350,000 shares to be granted in any one calendar year. No shares were issued under the Plan during 2010.

ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The Company must determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon

ultimate settlement. Based on the judgment of management and its tax advisors, all items included in the inventory of tax positions have been determined to meet the more-likely-than-not standard and have been included at full value in the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. In making this determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence affecting specific deferred tax assets, including the Company’s past and anticipated future performance, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and the implementation of tax planning strategies. Objective positive evidence is necessary to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed for all or a portion of the deferred tax assets when significant negative evidence exists. In 2010, the Company has determined that significant negative evidence exists and therefore has placed a full valuation allowance on the deferred taxes.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $61.7 million expiring as follows: $3.0 million expiring in 2027, $9.3 million expiring in 2028, $19.7 million expiring in 2029 and $29.7 million expiring in 2030.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and the State of Florida. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2007.

(11) 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 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.

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 December 31, 2010, with off-balance-sheet risk is as follows:


	Contract Amount
Unfunded loan commitments	$	3,475

Unused lines of credit	$	69,604

Standby letters of credit	$	982

(12) Concentration of Credit Risk

The Bank primarily grants loans for which real estate is the collateral. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, real estate mortgages represented 90% and 87%, respectively, of total loans. As of December 31, 2010, the largest credit relationship was $13.4 million, representing 2.25% of total loans and as of December 31, 2009, the largest credit relationship was $8.0 million representing 1.24% of total loans. Substantially all of our customers reside in the local markets in which we operate. The borrower’s ability to repay the loans is somewhat dependent on the local economies.

(13) Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan. The plan is available to all employees electing to participate after meeting certain length-of-time service requirements. Expense relating to the Company’s contributions to the 401(k) plan was $175, $180 and $385 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(14) 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. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off- balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and 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 December 31, 2010 and 2009, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 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

(15) Stockholders’ Equity

As of December 31, 2010, the Company was authorized to issue up to 55,000,000 of its capital stock, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors determines the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof of any series of preferred stock issued. A total of 20,471 shares of preferred stock are designated as Series A and a total of 1,024 shares are designated as Series B, all owned by the U.S. Treasury as described later in this footnote. There were no stock transactions completed in 2010.

On July 24, 2009, the 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% of the outstanding principal during the first five years the issue is outstanding after which the dividend rate increases to 9%. The terms of the Series B require quarterly dividend payments of 9% of the outstanding principal.

The Company recorded a preferred stock discount of $1 million based on the face value of the warrants exercised. The preferred stock discount is being accreted over a five year period.

Prior to the payment of dividends on our preferred stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP Dividends), the Company 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, 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 and that all future requests for CPP Dividend payments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2010, the amount of CPP dividends unpaid and in arrears totaled $421.

On May 29, 2009 and June 15, 2009, the Company sold a total of 4,584,756 shares of its common stock in a private placement at a price of $4.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $18.3 million, to no more than 35 purchasers excluding “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act. The issuance of the Company’s common stock in the private placement was made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and applicable state securities law exemptions. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and, accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

(16) Related Party Transactions

Related Party Loans. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, certain officers, directors and affiliates were indebted to the Bank in the aggregate amount of $5.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
