NOTE 1: Nature of Operations and basis of presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Parent Company” or “CSFL”), and our wholly owned subsidiary banks and their wholly owned subsidiary, CenterState Shared Services (“CSS”). Currently, our four subsidiary banks operate through 43 locations in 12 Counties throughout Central Florida, providing traditional deposit and lending products and services to their commercial and retail customers. In addition, we also operate a correspondent banking and bond sales division. The division is integrated with and part of our lead subsidiary bank located in Winter Haven, Florida, although the majority of our bond salesmen, traders and operational personnel are physically housed in leased facilities located in Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Winston Salem, North Carolina. The business lines of this division are primarily divided into three inter-related revenue generating activities. The first, and largest, revenue generator is commissions earned on fixed income security sales. The second category includes: (a) correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased); (b) correspondent bank checking account deposits; and (c) loans to correspondent banks. The third revenue generating category includes fees from safe-keeping activities, bond accounting services for correspondents, asset/liability consulting related activities, international wires, and other clearing and corporate checking account services. The customer base includes small to medium size financial institutions primarily located in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Table of Contents

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations of the six month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

NOTE 2: Common stock outstanding and earnings per share data

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the further dilution from stock options using the treasury method. There were 1,110,300 and 1,004,000 stock options that were anti dilutive at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented (dollars are in thousands, except per share data).

NOTE 3: Comprehensive income

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, certain transactions and other economic events that bypass our income statement must be displayed as other comprehensive income. Our comprehensive income consists of net earnings and unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of deferred income taxes. The table below sets forth our comprehensive income for the periods indicated below (in thousands of dollars).

NOTE 4: Fair value

Generally accepted accounting principles establish 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. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.

The fair values of trading securities and securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The fair values of trading securities are determined as follows: (1) for those securities that have traded prior to June 30, 2010 but have not settled (date of sale) until after such date, the sales price is used as the fair value; and, (2) for those securities which have not traded as of June 30, 2010, the fair value was determined by broker price indications of similar or same securities.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $11,953,000 with a valuation allowance of $3,321,000 at June 30, 2010, and a carrying amount of $15,391,000 with a valuation allowance of $4,612,000 at December 31, 2009. The Company recorded a provision for loan loss expense of $395,000 and $579,000 on these loans during the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 2010, respectively.

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.

The fair value of our repossessed real estate (“other real estate owned” or “OREO”) is determined using Level 3 inputs which include current and prior appraisals and estimated costs to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The decline in fair value of other real estate owned was $428,000 and $1,310,000 during the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 2010, respectively. Changes in fair value were recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings through non interest expense.

Excess bank real estate held for sale represents a single family house we purchased from one of our executives when the executive was relocated to another county. The fair value of excess bank real estate held for sale is determined using Level 3 inputs which include current and prior appraisals and estimated costs to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Changes in fair value are recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings through non interest expense. The reason for the decline between December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, was a transfer of land to bank premises and equipment for future branch sites.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using underlying collateral values. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock or Federal Reserve Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material. The following table presents the carry amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments (in thousands of dollars):

Mortgage-backed securities: The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by changes in interest rate. Fannie Mae guarantees the contractual cash flows of these securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Municipal securities: Unrealized losses on municipal securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers bonds are of high quality, management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

NOTE 7: Subsequent Event – Capital raise

On July 27, 2010, the Company raised $35,190,000 through a previously announced public offering by issuing 4,140,000 shares of common stock including the underwriter’s 15% over-allotment option. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $32,816,000.

NOTE 8: Subsequent Event – Failed Bank Purchase

Effective July 16, 2010, we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the deposits of Olde Cypress Community Bank in Clewiston, Florida (“Olde Cypress) through a purchase and assumption agreement, including loss-sharing (the “P&A Agreement”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) dated as July 16, 2010. The final carrying values and the final list of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed remains subject to finalization by the FDIC and CenterState.

Under the terms of the P&A Agreement, we acquired approximately $164,900,000 in assets, including approximately $132,600,000 in loans and other real estate owned by Olde Cypress, approximately $8,500,000 of marketable securities, approximately $22,300,000 of cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash paid by CenterState to the FDIC to complete the Acquisition) and

 

15


Table of Contents

approximately $1,500,000 of other assets. We also assumed approximately $153,100,000 in liabilities, including approximately $151,600,000 in customer deposits, and $1,500,000 in other liabilities. We did not pay the FDIC a premium to assume the deposits, and the assets were acquired at a discount to Olde Cypress’s historical book value as of July 16, 2010 of approximately $8,100,000, subject to customary adjustments. In connection with the Acquisition, we made a payment to the FDIC in the amount of approximately $3,600,000, subject to customary post-closing adjustments based upon the final closing date balance sheet for Olde Cypress. The cash payment is settlement for the net equity received, the assets at the discounted purchase price and other customary closing adjustments. The P&A Agreement provides that the FDIC will indemnify us against certain claims, including claims with respect to liabilities of Olde Cypress not assumed or otherwise purchased by us, claims made by shareholders of Olde Cypress, and claims based on any prior action or inaction by Olde Cypress directors, officers and other employees.

In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The loss sharing agreements provide that the FDIC is obligated to reimburse us for 80% of losses with respect to the covered assets of approximately $132,600,000. In addition, we agreed to pay on September 15, 2020 the FDIC certain potential amounts as calculated in accordance with the True Up provisions included in the P&A Agreement, which was furnished as Exhibit 2.1 in our July 21, 2010 Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference herein.

The Olde Cypress acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In the future, the results of operations of the acquired company will be included in the Company’s results of operations. Under this method of accounting, assets and liabilities acquired will be recorded at their estimated fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. Due to the timing of the transaction, the fair value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed are not yet available. The excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the cost, the Company will record a gain on the acquisition.

NOTE 9: Effect of new pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (ASC 810). The new accounting requirement amends previous guidance relating to the transfers of financial assets and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this Statement were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this Statement. The effect of adopting this new guidance was not material.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Topic 820, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This amendment requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. This amendment also requires that a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis rather than a net basis for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. This amendment also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of disaggregation, in that the reporting entity needs to use

 

16


Table of Contents

judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and that a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for ASC 820 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in 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 ASC 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2010 AND DECEMBER 31, 2009

Overview

Our total assets increased approximately 4% during the six month period ending June 30, 2010. Our outstanding loan balances decreased slightly, approximately 2%, our securities available for sale increased approximately 31%, deposits were up about 9%, all other borrowings as a group were down approximately 34% and our total stockholders’ equity increased approximately 1%. These changes are discussed and analyzed below and on the following pages.

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits

Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits were $92,098,000 at June 30, 2010 (approximately 5.1% of total assets) as compared to $173,268,000 at December 31, 2009 (approximately 9.9% of total assets). We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans outstanding, and to some degree the amount of correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) outstanding.

Trading securities

During the third quarter of 2009, we initiated a trading securities portfolio at our lead subsidiary bank. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in trading securities revenue, a component of our non interest income, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Securities purchased for this portfolio have primarily been various municipal securities. At June 30, 2010 our trading securities had a fair market value of $242,000, which was one municipal security. A list of the activity in this portfolio is summarized below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

Table of Contents

compared to $463,186,000 at December 31, 2009 (approximately 26% of total assets), an increase of $144,128,000 or 31%. We use our available-for-sale securities portfolio, as well as federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits for liquidity management and for investment yields. These accounts, as a group, will fluctuate as a function of loans outstanding as discussed above, under the caption “Federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank deposits.” Our securities are carried at fair value. We classify our securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates as well as future liquidity needs.

Loans held for sale

During the first quarter of 2010, we initiated a loans held for sale portfolio, whereby we originate single family home loans and sell those mortgages into the secondary market, servicing released. These loans are recorded at the lower of cost or market. Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale are included as a component of non interest income in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. A list of the activity in this portfolio is summarized below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. Average loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, were $944,734,000, or 57% of average earning assets, as compared to $931,681,000, or 56% of average earning assets, for the quarter ending December 31, 2009. Total loans, net of unearned fees and cost, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $941,779,000 and $959,021,000, respectively, a decrease of $17,242,000, or 1.8%. This represents a loan to total asset ratio of 52% and 55% and a loan to deposit ratio of 66% and 73%, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

The current weak economy in general and the struggling central Florida real estate market in particular, has made it difficult to grow our loan portfolio. As indicated above, our loans decreased by approximately $17,242,000 during the current six month period. Part of this decrease was due to charge-offs (approximately $7,218,000) and transfers out of loans into repossessed real estate and repossessed assets other than real estate (approximately $3,923,000 and $329,000, respectively). Excluding these components, loans deceased $5,772,000 which is a net amount comprised of approximately $94,728,000 of new loan originations less $100,500,000 of maturities, pay-offs and normal amortization.

Our single family residential real estate loans totaled $249,628,000 or 27% of our total loans as of June 30, 2010. As with all of our loans, these are originated in our geographical market area in central Florida. We do not and have never engaged in sub-prime lending. As of this same date, our commercial real estate loans totaled $441,652,000, or 47% of our total loans. Construction, development, and land loans totaled $106,486,000, or 11% of our loans. As a group, all of our real estate collateralized loans represented approximately 85% of our total loans at June 30, 2010. The remaining 15% is comprised of commercial loans (9%) and consumer loans (6%).

Loan concentrations are considered to exist where there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities, which collectively could be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions and when the total of such amounts would exceed 25% of total capital. Due to the lack of diversified industry and the relative proximity of markets served, the Company has concentrations in geographic as well as in types of loans funded.

The following table sets forth information concerning the loan portfolio by collateral types as of the dates indicated (dollars are in thousands).

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

On at least a quarterly basis, management reviews each impaired loan to determine whether it should have a specific reserve or partial charge-off. Management relies on appraisals to help make this determination. Updated appraisals are obtained for collateral dependent loans when a loan is scheduled for renewal or refinance. In addition, if the classification of the loan is downgraded to substandard, identified as impaired, or placed on non accrual status (collectively “Problem Loans”), an updated appraisal is obtained if the loan amount is greater than $250,000 and individually evaluated for impairment. If the loan amount is less than $250,000 and individually evaluated for impairment then either a Brokers Price Opinion (“BPO”) is obtained or an internal evaluation is performed, in lieu of an updated appraisal.

After an updated appraisal is obtained for a Problem Loan, as described above, an additional updated appraisal will be obtained on at least an annual basis. That is, current appraisals for Problem Loans will not be older than one year.

After the initial updated appraisal is obtained for a Problem Loan and before its next annual appraisal update is due, management considers the need for a downward adjustment to the current appraisal amount to reflect current market conditions, based on management’s analysis, judgment and experience. In an extremely volatile market, management may update the appraisal prior to the one year anniversary date.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses incurred in our loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings and decreased by loan charge-offs net of recoveries of prior period loan charge-offs. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely.

 

19


Table of Contents

The allowance consists of two components. The first component is an allocation for impaired loans, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Impaired loans are those loans whereby management has arrived at a determination that the Company will not be repaid according to the original terms. Each of these loans is required to have a written analysis supporting the amount of specific allowance allocated to the particular loan, if any. That is to say, a loan may be impaired (i.e., not expected to be repaid as agreed), but may be sufficiently collateralized such that we expect to recover all principal and interest eventually, and therefore no specific allowance is warranted.

The second component is a general allowance on all of the Company’s loans other than those identified as impaired. We group these loans into five general categories with similar characteristics, and then apply an adjusted loss factor to each group of loans to determine the total amount of this second component of our allowance for loan losses. The adjusted loss factor for each category of loans is a derivative of our historical loss factor for that category, adjusted for current internal and external environmental factors, as well as for certain loan grading factors.

In the table below we have shown the two components, as discussed above, of our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Allowance for loan losses as percentage of total loans

As shown in the table above, our allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 2.57% at June 30, 2010 compared to 2.43% at December 31, 2009. Our ALLL increased by a net amount of $902,000 during this six month period. Component 2 (general allowance) increased by $2,193,000 during the period. This increase is primarily due to changes in our historical charge-off rates, changes in our current environmental factors and changes in the loan portfolio mix.

Component 1 (specific allowance) decreased by $1,291,000. This Component is the result of a specific allowance analysis prepared for each of our impaired loans. Although our impaired loans increased by $5,023,000, our specific allowance related to impaired loans decreased. Our specific allowance is the aggregate of the results of individual analysis prepared for each one of our impaired loans on a loan by loan basis. The decrease in our specific allowance is the result of charge-offs taken during the period, as well as the change in mix and evaluation of impaired loans.

Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets

Non performing loans are defined as non accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Generally we place loans on non accrual status when they are past due 90 days and management believes the borrower’s financial condition, after giving consideration to economic conditions and collection efforts, is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When we place a loan on non accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Non performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 5.53% at June 30, 2010, compared to 4.42% at December 31, 2009.

Non performing assets (which we define as non performing loans, as defined above, plus (a) OREO (i.e., real estate acquired through foreclosure, in substance foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (b) other repossessed assets that are not real estate), were $63,843,000 at June 30, 2010, compared to $53,452,000 at December 31, 2009. Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 3.51% at June 30, 2010, compared to 3.05% at December 31, 2009.

As shown in the table above, the largest component of non performing loans is non accrual loans. As of June 30, 2010 the Company had reported a total of 230 non accrual loans with an aggregate book value of $51,468,000, compared to December 31, 2009 when 171 non accrual loans with an aggregate book value of $42,059,000 were reported. Each of the five categories increased over the six month period, with the largest increases occurring in residential real estate followed by commercial real estate.

There are no construction or development loans with national builders. We have historically done business with local builders and developers that have typically been long time customers. However, management believes that this category (i.e. construction, development and land) is the loan category where the most risk is present. On the positive side, the category only represents about 11% of the total loan portfolio. However, it represents a disproportionate 22% of the Company’s total non accrual loans and approximately 31% of the Company’s total repossessed real estate (“OREO”).

As indicated above, non accrual construction, development, and land loans totaled $11,401,000 at June 30, 2010. Most of this amount relates to land, either developed or not developed, commercial and residential. The mix is approximately 89% land related, either developed lots or not developed, both commercial and residential, and the remaining 11% of the category represents vertical construction, which includes three single family homes and one multi-family project. The ratios are consistent with our total portfolio of construction, development and land loans, performing and non performing combined.

During the six month period ending June 30, 2010, the Company has charged off, net of recoveries, approximately $2,925,000 of the loans in this category, about 41% of the total net charge offs. During the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company had total charge offs, net of recoveries, of $13,942,000. Almost half ($6,414,000) came from this category.

The second largest component in non performing assets after non accrual loans is repossessed real estate, or OREO. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or market, less the cost to sell. Further declines in real estate values can affect the market value of these assets. Any further decline in market value beyond its cost basis is recorded as a current expense in the Company’s Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2010, OREO was $11,144,000, which is further delineated in the table below (in thousands of dollars).

In this current real estate crisis that the Nation in general and Florida in particular has been experiencing, it has become more common to restructure or modify the terms of certain loans under certain conditions (i.e. troubled debt restructure or “TDRs”). In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in an unfavorable and depressed real estate market. When we have modified the terms of a loan, we usually either reduce the monthly payment and/or interest rate for generally about twelve months. We have not forgiven any material principal amounts on any loan modifications to date. We have approximately $29,863,000 of TDRs. Of this amount $15,246,000 are performing pursuant to their modified terms, and $14,617,000 are not performing and have been placed on non accrual status and included in our non performing loans (“NPLs”). Current accounting standards generally require TDRs to be included in our impaired loans, whether they are performing or not performing. Only non performing TDRs are included in our NPLs.

Our policy is to return non accrual TDR loans to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due, pursuant to its modified terms, are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Our policy also considers the payment history of the borrower, but is not dependent upon a specific number of payments.

Loans are modified to minimize loan losses when we believe the modification will improve the borrower’s financial condition and ability to repay the loan. Generally we do not forgive principal, however, we forgave $25,000 of principal on one of our TDR loans. We generally either reduce interest rates or decrease monthly payments for a temporary period of time and those reductions of cash flows are capitalized into the loan balance. A summary of the types of concessions made are presented in the table below. Amounts are in thousands of dollars.

It is still early in our experience with these types of activities, but approximately 51% of our TDRs are current pursuant to their modified terms. On the other hand, $14,617,000, or approximately 49% of our total TDRs are not performing pursuant to their modified terms. Long-term success with our performing TDRs is an unknown, and will depend to a great extent on the future of our economy and our local real estate markets. Thus far, there does not appear to be any significant difference in success rates with one type of concession versus another. Non performing TDRs average approximately thirteen months in age from their modification date through June 30, 2010. Performing TDRs average approximately eight months in age from their modification date through June 30, 2010.

Impaired loans are defined as loans that management has concluded will not repay as agreed. (Small balance homogeneous loans are not considered for impairment purposes.) Once management has determined a loan is impaired, we perform a specific reserve analysis to determine if it is probable that we will eventually collect all contractual cash flows. If management determines that a shortfall is probable, then a specific valuation allowance is placed against the loan. This loan is then placed on non accrual basis, even if the borrower is current with his/her contractual payments, and will remain on non accrual until payments collected reduce the loan balance such that it eliminates the specific valuation allowance or other economic conditions change. At June 30, 2010 we have identified a total of $83,971,000 impaired loans. A specific valuation allowance of $3,321,000 has been attached to $11,953,000 of the total identified impaired loans.

We continually analyze our loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. As of June 30, 2010, we believe the allowance for loan losses was adequate. However, we recognize that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the market. Accordingly, there is no assurance that losses in excess of such allowance will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment was $71,912,000 at June 30, 2010 compared to $62,368,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $9,544,000 or 15%. This amount is the result of purchases and construction in process of $9,137,000 plus transfer in from bank property held for sale of $1,868,000 less $1,461,000 of depreciation expense. The $9,137,000 of purchases and construction cost can be further delineated as follows: approximately $2,230,000 for purchase of buildings from the FDIC, $3,090,000 in construction costs related to a number of the Company’s branch office locations, $928,000 for the purchase of land, $797,000 in capitalization of certain software development costs related to our correspondent banking division, and the remaining $2,092,000 relates to furniture, fixtures and equipment purchases.

Deposits

During the six month period ending June 30, 2010, total deposits increased by $122,378,000, or 9.4%. Time deposits increased by $13,478,000, or 2.4%, and non time deposits (i.e., core deposits) increased by $108,900,000, or 14.8%. The majority of the core deposit increase was a result of the $74,038,000, or 31.7% increase in non interest bearing checking accounts. Most of the increase in non interest bearing checking accounts was the result of the $60,347,000 increase in commercial checking accounts held by our correspondent bank customers. In addition to federal funds purchased we receive from our correspondent banking customers, discussed below, the correspondents also generally keep a commercial checking account with us as well. These accounts have grown in number and balances. The average balance during the six month period ending June 30, 2010 was approximately $85,395,000 compared to $43,305,000 average for the year 2009. The table below sets forth our deposits by type and as a percentage to total deposits at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (amounts shown in the table are in thousands of dollars).

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase

Our subsidiary banks enter into borrowing arrangements with our retail business customers by agreements to repurchase (“securities sold under agreements to repurchase”) under which the banks pledge investment securities owned and under their control as collateral against the one-day borrowing arrangement. These short-term borrowings totaled $22,275,000 at June 30, 2010 compared to $29,562,000 at December 31, 2009.

Federal funds purchased

Federal funds purchased are overnight deposits from correspondent banks. We commenced accepting correspondent bank deposits during September 2008. Federal funds purchased acquired from other than our correspondent bank deposits are included with Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds as described below. At June 30, 2010 we had $84,630,000 of correspondent bank deposits or federal funds purchased, compared to $144,939,000 at December 31, 2009.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds

From time to time, we borrow either through Federal Home Loan Bank advances or Federal Funds Purchased, other than correspondent bank deposits (i.e. federal funds purchased) listed above. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were as follows (amounts are in thousands of dollars).

Corporate debentures

We formed CenterState Banks of Florida Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 22, 2003, we issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the amount of $10,000,000. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of a trust preferred security to acquire the corporate debenture of the Company. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by the Company or the Trust, at their respective option, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. The Company has treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

In September 2004, Valrico Bancorp Inc. (“VBI”) formed Valrico Capital Statutory Trust (“Valrico Trust”) for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. On September 9, 2004, VBI issued a floating rate corporate debenture in the amount of $2,500,000. The Trust used the proceeds from the

issuance of a trust preferred security to acquire the corporate debenture. On April 2, 2007, the Company acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of VBI pursuant to the merger agreement, including VBI’s corporate debenture and related trust preferred security discussed above. The trust preferred security essentially mirrors the corporate debenture, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the corporate debenture (three month LIBOR plus 270 basis points). The corporate debenture and the trust preferred security each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred security and the corporate debenture are callable by the Company or the Valrico Trust, at their respective option, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve, if then required. The Company has treated the trust preferred security as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed under the Federal Reserve guidelines for federal regulatory purposes.

Stockholders’ equity

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2010, was $232,631,000, or 12.8% of total assets, compared to $229,410,000, or 13.1% of total assets at December 31, 2009. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to the following items:

 

$ 229,410,000      Total stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2009
  1,297,000      Net income during the period
  (516,000   Dividends paid on common shares, $0.02 per common share

The federal bank regulatory agencies have established risk-based capital requirements for banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a bank’s capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset categories. Banks are also required to systematically maintain capital against such “off- balance sheet” activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity and restricting the amount of loan loss reserves and other forms of equity such as preferred stock that may be included in capital. As of June 30, 2010, each of our four subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “well capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

Selected consolidated capital ratios at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented in the table below.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009

Overview

We recognized net income of $904,000 or $0.03 per share basic and diluted for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to net loss of $732,000 or $0.09 loss per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2009.

Our non interest income increased significantly primarily due to commissions on bond sales and gain on sales of securities available for sale.

Non interest expense also increased significantly primarily due to expenses relating to the activity in our bond sales division.

Each of the above referenced income and expense categories, along with other items are discussed and analyzed in greater detail below.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $770,000 or 6% to $13,622,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $12,852,000 for the same period in 2009. The $770,000 increase was the result of a $1,066,000 decrease in interest income and a $1,836,000 decrease in interest expense.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,665,067,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,664,117,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $950,000, or 0.06%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 26bps to 4.30% (26bps to 4.34% tax equivalent basis) during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to 4.56% (4.60% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2009. The combined effects of the $950,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 26bps (26bps tax equivalent basis) decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $1,066,000 ($1,057,000 tax equivalent basis) decrease in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $1,288,210,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,435,584,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $147,374,000, or 10%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 38bps to 1.31% during the three month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to 1.69% for the same period in 2009. The combined effects of the $147,374,000 decrease in average interest bearing liabilities and the 38bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $1,836,000 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses decreased $80,000, or 2%, to $4,045,000 during the three month period ending June 30, 2010 compared to $4,125,000 for the comparable period in 2009. Our policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is a charge to current period earnings, and is decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries on prior loan charge-offs. Therefore, the provision for loan losses (Income Statement effect) is a residual of management’s determination of allowance for loan losses (Balance Sheet approach). In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider the conditions of individual borrowers, the historical loan loss experience, the general economic environment, the overall portfolio composition, and other information. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. See “Credit quality and allowance for loan losses” for additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $12,159,000 compared to $5,117,000 for the comparable period in 2009. This increase was the result of the following components listed in the table below (amounts listed are in thousands of dollars).

Through our lead bank in Winter Haven, Florida, we have initiated a correspondent banking and bond sales division during the end of the third quarter of 2008 by hiring substantially all the employees of the Royal Bank of Canada’s (“RBC”) bond sales division who were previously employees of Alabama National Bank (“ALAB”) prior to RBC’s acquisition of ALAB. In July of 2009, we added to this business segment by hiring a substantial percentage of the correspondent banking and bond sales division of the failed Silverton Bank, N.A. in Atlanta Georgia. The division operates primarily out of leased facilities in Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Winston Salem, North Carolina. The division’s largest revenue generating activity is commissions earned on fixed income security sales.

We sold approximately $93,637,000 and $64,468,000 of our securities available for sale, realizing a net gain on sale of $1,639,000 and $303,000, during the quarters ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These securities were sold as part of our on-going asset/liability portfolio management strategies.

The primary reason for the overall increase in non interest expense for the periods presented above is due to enhancing our correspondent banking and bond sales division by hiring approximately forty new bond salesmen, traders and operational personnel from the failed Silverton Bank N.A. in July 2009. These employees were not employees of the Company during the second quarter of 2009. The team of new bond salesmen are compensated on a commission basis, similar to the Birmingham business unit initiated in November 2008, and is expected to include some of the highest paid employees of the Company and, as such, the average cost per FTE for this division is not comparable to the rest of our Company. The compensation related expenses for this business unit will vary period to period based on the revenue from correspondent banking and bond sales division listed in our table of non interest income.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

We recognized an income tax provision (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $234,000 (an effective tax rate of 20.6%) compared to an income tax benefit of $569,000 (an effective tax rate of 43.7%) for the comparable period in 2009. We have substantial tax exempt income in excess of non deductible expenses, which will generally produce an effective tax rate which is lower than our statutory tax rate (approximately 38.6%) when we have pre tax earnings. When we have a loss, as in the second quarter of 2009, and our net tax exempt income in excess of non deductible expenses is larger in absolute numbers than the reported book pre tax loss, then the effective tax rate is generally higher than the statutory tax rate.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010 AND 2009

Overview

Net income and net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1,297,000 or $0.05 per share basic and diluted. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $40,000 which resulted in a loss available to common shareholders of $754,000 after consideration of our preferred dividends. Our loss per common share for the six month period in 2009 was $0.06 per share basic and diluted.

Our average earning assets increased by $57,357,000 between these two periods, and our net interest margin (“NIM”) increased by 28bps. The combined effect was an increase in our net interest income of $3,124,000 or 12.8%. Most of this increase was offset by a $2,292,000 increase in our allowance for loan loss provision.

Our non interest income also increased significantly primarily due to commissions on bond sales and gain on sales of securities.

Non interest expense also increased significantly due to compensation and compensation related expenses resulting primarily from the correspondent banking and bond sales division

Each of the above referenced income and expense categories, along with other items are discussed and analyzed in greater detail below.

Net interest income/margin

Net interest income increased $3,124,000 or 12.8% to $27,468,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to $24,344,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase was the result of a $4,076,000 decrease in interest expense less a decrease of $952,000 in interest income.

Interest earning assets averaged $1,636,945,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,579,588,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $57,357,000, or 3.6%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 28bps to 4.44% (28bps to 4.48% tax equivalent basis) during the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to 4.72% (4.76% tax equivalent basis) for the same period in 2009. The combined net effects of the $57,357,000 increase in average interest earning assets and the 28bps (28bps tax equivalent basis) decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $952,000 ($934,000 tax equivalent basis) decrease in interest income between the two periods.

Interest bearing liabilities averaged $1,281,943,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,351,150,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $69,207,000, or 5.1%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 54bps to 1.34% during the six month period ended June 30, 2010, compared to 1.88% for the same period in 2009. The combined net effects of the $69,207,000 decrease in average interest bearing liabilities and the 54bps decrease in cost of average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $4,076,000 decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses increased $2,292,000, or 39%, to $8,120,000 during the six month period ending June 30, 2010 compared to $5,828,000 for the comparable period in 2009.

The division operates primarily out of leased facilities in Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Winston Salem, North Carolina. The division’s largest revenue generating activity is commissions earned on fixed income security sales.

We sold approximately $135,655,000 and $99,686,000 of our securities available for sale, realizing a net gain on sale of $3,075,000 and $721,000, during the six month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The primary reason for the overall increase in non interest expense for the periods presented above is due to enhancing our correspondent banking and bond sales division by hiring approximately forty new bond salesmen, traders and operational personnel from the failed Silverton Bank N.A. in July 2009. These employees were not employees of the Company during the six month period ending June 30,

2009. The team of new bond salesmen are compensated on a commission basis, similar to the Birmingham business unit initiated in November 2008, and is expected to include some of the highest paid employees of the Company and, as such, the average cost per FTE for this division is not comparable to the rest of our Company. The compensation related expenses for this business unit will vary period to period based on the revenue from correspondent banking and bond sales division listed in our table of non interest income.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

We recognized an income tax provision (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $360,000 (an effective tax rate of 21.7%) compared to an income tax benefit of $303,000 (an effective tax rate of 115%) for the comparable period in 2009. We have substantial tax exempt income in excess of non deductible expenses, which will generally produce an effective tax rate which is lower than our statutory tax rate (approximately 38.6%) when we have pre tax earnings. When we have a loss, as in the six month period ending June 30, 2009, and our net tax exempt income in excess of non deductible expenses is larger in absolute numbers than the reported book pre tax loss, then the effective tax rate is generally higher than the statutory tax rate.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis. We measure liquidity position by giving consideration to both on- and off-balance sheet sources of and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis.

Each of our subsidiary banks regularly assesses the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs, and existing and planned business activities. Each subsidiary bank’s asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends guidelines, subject to the approval of its board of directors, and courses of action to address actual and projected liquidity needs.

Short term sources of funding and liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, net of federal requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities; investment securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from customers pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; loan repayments; deposits and certain interest rate-sensitive deposits; and borrowings under overnight federal fund lines available from correspondent banks. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the primary demand for liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers.

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.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES: MARKET RISK

Market risk

We believe interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. Each of our subsidiary banks monitors and manages its interest rate risk using interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis to measure the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income. See our Annual Report on

Table of Contents

Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as of December 31, 2009. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2010. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial. We do not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and do not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
