NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1: Holding company and subsidiaries background information

     CenterState Banks of Florida, Inc (the “Company”) is a multi-bank holding company. The Company was formed on June 30, 2000, as part of the merger of First National Bank of Osceola County (“FNB/Osceola”), Community National Bank of Pasco County (“CNB/Pasco”) and First National Bank of Polk County (“FNB/Polk”), which were three previously independent banks in Central Florida. The business combination was accounted for using the pooling-of-interest accounting method. All historical financial information has been restated to reflect the merger.

     The Company acquired CenterState Bank of Florida (“CSB”) on December 31, 2002 in a stock and cash transaction. This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the tangible assets, core deposit intangible ($739,000) and liabilities was approximately $4.7 million. This amount was recognized and recorded as goodwill.

     FNB/Osceola is a national bank charted in September 1989. It operates from three full service locations within Osceola County and two full service locations in Orange County, a contiguous county. CNB/Pasco is a national bank charted in November 1989. It operates from nine full service locations within Pasco, Lake, Sumter, Hernando and Citrus Counties. FNB/Polk is a national bank charted in February 1992. It operates from four full service locations within eastern Polk County. CSB is a state bank charted in April 2000. It operates from three full service and two specialty locations within western Polk County. C. S. Processing, Inc. (“CSP”) is a wholly owned subsidiary, equally owned by the Company’s four subsidiary banks. CSP was formed in 2001. It performs item processing and check rendering services for the Company’s four subsidiary banks.

     The Company, through its subsidiary banks, provides traditional deposit and lending products and services to its retail and commercial customers.

NOTE 2: Basis of presentation

     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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, 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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

NOTE 3: 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. 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 4: Comprehensive income

     Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” certain transactions and other economic events that bypass the income statement must be displayed as other comprehensive income. The Company’s 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 the Company’s comprehensive income for the periods indicated below (in thousands of dollars).

                                   
      Three months ended   Six months ended

NOTE 5: Compensation programs

     Substantially all of the Company’s employees are covered under the Company’s employee benefit plan. The expenses of providing these benefit plans are charged to income in the period the expenses are incurred. In addition, certain directors and key employees are covered under the Company’s stock option plans.

7


 

     The Company applies Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plan been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, the Company’s net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (amounts are in thousands of dollars except for per share data):

                                   
      Three month period   Six month period

NOTE 6: Effect of new pronouncements

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. As used in this Statement, a legal obligation results from existing law, statute, ordinance, written or oral contract, or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9.” Except for transactions between two or more mutual enterprises, this Statement removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of both Statement 72 and Interpretation 9 and requires that those transactions be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, and SFAS No. 142. In addition, this Statement amends SFAS No. 144 to include in its scope long-term customer-relationship intangible assets of financial institutions such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. The provisions of this Statement are effective on or after October 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 147 did not have an impact on the financial position or results of operations.

8


 

     In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145 amends existing guidance on reporting gains and losses on extinguishment of debt to prohibit the classification of the gain or loss as extraordinary, as the use of the such extinguishments have become part of the risk management strategy of many companies. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of the Statement related to the rescission of Statement No. 4 is applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application of these provisions is encouraged. The provisions of the Statement related to Statement 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, and interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. The Interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has made the required disclosures in the notes of the consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and are included in the notes to these consolidated financial statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The Interpretation applies immediately to interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For public enterprises, such as the Company, with a variable interest in a variable interest entity created before February 1, 2003, the Interpretation is applied to the enterprise beginning July 1, 2003. The application of this Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective. The adoption of this Interpretation did not have an effect on the financial statements of the Company.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.

9


 

     The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have an effect on the financial statements of the Company.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement improves the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. The new Statement requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Most of the guidance in Statement 150 is effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have an effect on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 7: Merger

     The Company acquired CSB (a non publicly traded commercial bank) on December 31, 2002 for a combination of stock and cash. Shareholders of CSB received $2.40 cash and .53631 share of the Company’s common stock for each share of common stock of CSB. The Company recorded this transaction using the purchase method of accounting. As allowed under SFAS No. 141, the Company completed its purchase price allocation review during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and recorded an increase in goodwill and additional paid in capital related to the exchange of employee stock options from CSB to the Company in the amount of $362,000.

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

     Some of the statements in this report constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements related to future events, other future financial performance or business strategies, and may be identified by terminology such as ``may,’’ ``will,’’ ``should,’’ ``expects,’’ ``scheduled,’’ ``plans,’’ ``intends’’, ``anticipates,’’ ``believes,’’ ``estimates,’’ ``potential,’’ or ``continue” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider the factors described throughout this report. We cannot be assured that future results, levels of activity, performance or goals will be achieved.

     As discussed in other sections, the Company acquired a commercial bank, CSB, on December 31, 2002. As such, CSB’s financial position and results of operations are included in the Company’s results for the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, but are not included in the results for the three month and six month periods ending June 30, 2002. Therefore, the reader should consider this when comparing balance sheets as well as income and expense items between these periods.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2003 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002

Overview

     Total assets of the Company were $548.3 million as of June 30, 2003, compared to $494.8 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $53.5 million or 10.8%. This increase was primarily the result of the Company’s internally generated loan growth funded by an increase in deposits.

10


 

Federal funds sold and money market

     Federal funds sold and money market was $56.8 million at June 30, 2003 (approximately 10.4% of total assets) as compared to $61.3 million at December 31, 2002 (approximately 12.4% of total assets), a decrease of $4.5 million or 7.3%. The Company has decreased federal funds sold and money market in total dollars and as a percent of total assets outstanding, and increased investment securities, as part of its investment and liquidity management goals and objective.

Investment securities

     Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, were $68.0 million at June 30, 2003 (approximately 12.4% of total assets) compared to $51.8 million at December 31, 2002 (approximately 10.5% of total assets), an increase of $16.2 million or 31.3%. The Company has increased investment securities in total dollars and as a percent of total assets outstanding, and decreased federal funds sold and money market, as part of its investment and liquidity management goals and objectives. These securities have been recorded at market value. The Company classifies its securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates.

Loans

     Total gross loans were $374.1 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $334.2 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $39.9 million or 11.9%. For the same period, real estate loans increased by $34.6 million or 13.6%, commercial loans increased by $2.9 million or 6.7%, and all other loans including consumer loans increased by $2.4 million or 6.7%. Total loans net of unearned fees were $373.6 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $333.7 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $39.9 million or 12.0% (24% annualized). The Company hired a senior lender in the third quarter of last year and three senior lenders in the fourth quarter, which was the primary reason for the increase in loans outstanding at June 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002. The Company also opened two new full service branches in October 2002, two “mini” branches in January 2003, and two additional “mini” branches in June 2003. The “mini” branches are small branches that are opened for limited hours located in gated residential “active adult” communities in Florida. These branches are located in small offices inside the communities’ club-houses or other community facility and cater to the residents. During the three-year period ending December 31, 2002, the Company’s loan portfolio has grown at an average annual rate of approximately 16.9% per year. The largest annual growth rate was 18.2% and the smallest was 16.0%.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

     The Company’s allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses within the existing loan portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely. The allowance consists of amounts established for specific loans and is also based on historical loan loss experience. The specific reserve element is the result of a regular analysis of all loans and commitments based on credit rating classifications and other factors. Management also weighs general economic conditions based on knowledge of specific factors that may affect the collectibility of loans. At June 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was $4.6 million or 1.24% of total loans outstanding, compared to $4.1 million or 1.22%, at December 31, 2002.

Nonperforming assets

     Nonperforming assets include (1) non-accrual loans; (2) accruing loans that are 90 days or more delinquent that are deemed by management to be adequately secured and in the process of collection; (3) OREO (i.e. real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (4) other repossessed assets (not real estate). All delinquent loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the possibility of collecting additional interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. As a matter of policy, interest is not accrued on loans past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Additional interest income on such loans is recognized only when received.

     The following table sets forth information regarding the components of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (in thousands of dollars).

     Management is continually analyzing its loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve its problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. As of June 30, 2003, management believes that its allowance for loan losses was adequate. However, management recognizes that many factors can adversely impact various segments of its market. Accordingly, there is no assurance that losses in excess of such reserves will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

     Bank premises and equipment was $21.1 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $0.8 million or 3.9%. The increase was a result of purchases aggregating $1,583,000, which includes the purchase of land (approximately $1 million) for two future branch sites, less depreciation of $757,000.

Deposits

     Total deposits were $484.9 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $441.5 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $43.4 million or 9.8%. During the six month period ended June 30, 2003, demand deposits increased by $16.5 million (20.6%), NOW deposits increased by $1.8 million (2.9%), savings and money market accounts increased by $4.1 million (3.6%), and time deposits increased by $21.0 million (11.3%). The Company hired a senior lender in the third quarter of last year and three senior lenders in the fourth quarter, which was the primary reason for the increase in deposits outstanding during

13


 

the six month period ending June 30, 2003. The senior lenders are customer relationship managers, and as such, they will attract the deposit relationship along with the lending relationship. In addition, two new full service branches opened during October 2002, two “mini” branches opened in January 2003, and two additional “mini” branches opened in June 2003. The “mini” branches are small branches that are opened for two to three days a week in gated residential “active adult” communities in Florida. The branches are located in small offices inside the communities’ club-houses or other community facility and cater to the residents.

Repurchase agreements

     The Company enters into agreements to repurchase securities under which the Company pledges investment securities owned and under its control as collateral against borrowed funds. These short-term borrowings totaled $18.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $8.6 million, or 86%. The primary reason for the increase was due to the additional business developed by the additional senior lenders (relationship managers) discussed earlier under “Deposits” and “Loans.”

Note payable

     During the most recent quarter, the Company entered into an unsecured borrowing facility with a large regional bank. The facility is a two year $2.4 million line of credit with a floating interest rate of LIBOR +1.75%. At June 30, 2003, the balance outstanding was $2,150,000.

     Part of the CSB acquisition transaction was a cash payment to shareholders of $2.4 million ($2.40 per share). As of June 30, 2003, $2.2 million had been paid to former CSB shareholders. The Company used this line of credit primarily to fund these shareholder payments. The Company may issue long-term debt in the form of a Trust Preferred Security during the second half of 2003. The funds raised in this expected transaction will be used to repay the shorter-term $2.4 million note and capitalize future asset growth.

Stockholders’ equity

     Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2003, was $41.161 million, or 7.5% of total assets, compared to $39.915 million, or 8.1% of total assets at December 31, 2002. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to year-to-date net income ($1.206 million), stock options exercised ($49 thousand), an increase in paid in capital ($362 thousand) related to the conversion of stock options discussed in “Note 7: Merger,” less dividends paid ($336 thousand), and a net decrease in the market value of securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes ($35 thousand). The Company paid a dividend of $0.05 per share on March 31, 2003 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 14, 2003, and $0.05 per share on June 30, 2003 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 13, 2003.

     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, 2003, each of the Company’s four subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “Well Capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

Overview

     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $679 thousand or $0.20 per share basic and diluted, compared to $462 thousand or $0.16 per share basic and diluted for the same period in 2002. Data processing conversion expenses of approximately $234 thousand (approximately $146 thousand net of tax) was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. If not for these data processing conversion expenses, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 would have been approximately $608 thousand or $0.22 per share basic and $0.21 per share diluted. Data processing conversion expense is discussed below under the topic of non interest expenses.

     The return on average equity (“ROE”), calculated on an annualized basis, for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 was 6.67%, as compared to 6.60% for the same period in 2002.

Net interest income/margin

     As discussed in other sections, the Company acquired a commercial bank, CSB, on December 31, 2002. As such, CSB’s average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are included in the Company’s results for the three month period ended June 30, 2003, but are not included in the results for the period ended June 30, 2002. Therefore, the reader should consider this when comparing average balances and resulting interest income and expense between the two periods.

     Net interest income increased $951 thousand or 27% to $4.468 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3.517 million for the same period in 2002. The $951 thousand increase was the result of a $1.157 million increase in interest income less a $206 thousand increase in interest expense.

     Interest earning assets averaged $491.9 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $334.4 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $157.5 million, or 47%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 1.05% to 5.16% during the three month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to 6.21% for the same period in 2002. The combined net effects of the $157.5 million increase in average interest earning assets and the 1.05% decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $1.157 million increase in interest income between the two periods.

     Interest bearing liabilities averaged $404.5 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $273.7 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $130.8 million, or 48%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 0.59% to 1.85% during the three month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to 2.44% for the same period in 2002. The combined net effects of the $130.8 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 0.59% decrease in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $206 thousand increase in interest expense between the two periods.

     The table below summarizes, the analysis of changes in interest income and interest expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands of dollars).

Provision for loan losses

     The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. As these factors change, the level of loan loss allowance changes. The allowance for loan loss account is then adjusted by the amount of the provision for loan losses charged to earnings. The provision was $286 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $169 thousand for the same period in 2002. The increase was due to the increase in the loan portfolio, relating to the inclusion of CSB operations, and the loan mix of the Company’s loan portfolio.

Non-interest income

     Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased $310 thousand, or 36%, to $1.173 million, compared to $863 thousand for the same period in 2002, primarily due to the December 31, 2002 acquisition of CSB. The largest portion of the increase ($174 thousand) was related to service charges on deposit accounts. Loan related fees, primarily commissions earned on brokering single family fixed rate loans, late payment charges and other non loan origination related fees, increased $126 thousand. All other service charges, fees and other non-interest income combined produced a net increase of $10 thousand. Non-interest income (annualized) as a percentage of total average assets was 0.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 0.95% for the same period in 2002.

Non-interest expense

     Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2003 increased $804 thousand, or 23%, to $4.262 million, compared to $3.458 million for the same period in 2002, primarily due to the December 31, 2002 acquisition of CSB. In addition, two new full service branches were opened in October 2002. As with CSB, the operating expenses related to these two new additional branches are included in the three month period ending June 30, 2003 and not during the same period in 2002.

     The largest portion of the increase ($612 thousand) is due to the increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits. Occupancy expenses, including depreciation, increased $214 thousand. Data processing expense decreased $187 thousand primarily due to the conversion of item processing from an outsourcing expense to in-house processing during the first half of 2002, which was also a contributing factor in the increase of salary related expenses and occupancy expenses during the current quarter. All other operating expenses combined produced a net increase of $165 thousand.

Provision for income taxes

     The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $414 thousand (an effective rate of 37.9%) compared to $291 thousand (an effective rate of 38.6%) for the same period in 2002.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

Overview

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1.206 million or $0.36 per share basic and $0.35 per share diluted, compared to $1.039 million or $0.37 per share basic and $0.36 per share diluted for the same period in 2002.

     Data processing conversion expenses of approximately $296 thousand (approximately $185 thousand net of tax) was recognized during the six month period ending June 30, 2002. If not for these data processing conversion expenses, net income would have been approximately $1.224 million or $0.43 per share basic and $0.43 per share diluted. Data processing conversion expense is discussed below under the topic of non interest expenses.

     The return on average equity (“ROE”), calculated on an annualized basis, for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was 5.97%, as compared to 7.41% for the same period in 2002.

Net interest income/margin

     As discussed in other sections, the Company acquired a commercial bank, CSB, on December 31, 2002. As such, CSB’s average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are included in the Company’s results for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, but are not included in the results for the period ended June 30, 2002. Therefore, the reader should consider this when comparing average balances and resulting interest income and expense between the two periods.

     Net interest income increased $1.672 million or 24% to $8.716 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $7.044 million for the same period in 2002. The $1.672 million increase was the result of a $1.966 million increase in interest income and a $294 thousand increase in interest expense.

     Interest earning assets averaged $476.6 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $330.7 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $145.9 million, or 44%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 1.12% to 5.23% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to 6.35% for the same period in 2002. The combined net effects of the $145.9 million increase in average interest earning assets and the 1.12% decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $1.966 million increase in interest income between the two periods.

     Interest bearing liabilities averaged $392.8 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $273.3 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of $119.5 million, or 44%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 0.62% to 1.91% during the six month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to 2.53% for the same period in 2002. The combined net effects of the $119.5 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 0.62% decrease in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $294 thousand increase in interest expense between the two periods.

for loan losses charged to earnings. The provision was $588 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $349 thousand for the same period in 2002. The increase was due to the increase in the loan portfolio, relating to the inclusion of CSB operations, and the loan mix of the Company’s loan portfolio.

Non-interest income

     Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $585 thousand, or 33%, to $2.349 million, compared to $1.764 million for the same period in 2002, primarily due to the December 31, 2002 acquisition of CSB. The largest portion of the increase ($313 thousand) was related to service charges on deposit accounts. Loan related fees, primarily commissions earned on brokering single family fixed rate loans, late payment charges and other non loan origination related fees, increased $276 thousand. All other service charges, fees and other non-interest income combined produced a net decrease of $4 thousand. Non-interest income (annualized) as a percentage of total average assets was 0.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 0.97% for the same period in 2002.

Non-interest expense

     Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $1.761 million, or 26%, to $8.548 million, compared to $6.787 million for the same period in 2002, primarily due to the December 31, 2002 acquisition of CSB.

     Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.11 million (34%), occupancy and depreciation expenses increased by $494 thousand (36%), data processing expenses (includes item processing and conversion expenses) decreased by $219 thousand (36%), and all remaining expenses together resulted in an increase of $376 thousand (25%).

     Although the primary reason for the increase in non-interest expense was the December 31, 2002 acquisition of CSB, other contributing factors involved included the following.

     Two new branches were opened during October 2002. Two “mini” branches were opened in January 2003 and two in June 2003. The expenses related to these branches were included in the six month period ending June 30, 2003 but not in the corresponding period in 2002.

     The FNB/Osceola bank and the CNB/Pasco bank converted their data processing to a new service bureau during the first half of 2002, as well as converted their item processing from an outsourcing firm to an in-house process. The conversion expenses (approximately $296 thousand) recognized in the first half of 2002, increased data processing expenses for the six month period ending June 30, 2002. In addition, since these last two banks converted their item processing function from an outsourced function to an in house process in March and April of 2002, data processing expense decreased during the six month period ending June 30, 2003 and because this function is now subsequently performed in-house, salary/employee benefits and occupancy expenses have increased.

     All four of the Company’s subsidiary banks have now completed their conversions to the same service bureau for their core data processing, and the same general ledger with the same standard chart of accounts. In addition, all four subsidiary banks have also converted their item processing to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, C.S. Processing, Inc. In addition to the expected future efficiencies and cost savings, management believes this strategy of control over the item processing function will enhance the quality of the service provided the customer.

Provision for income taxes

     The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $723 thousand (an effective rate of 37.5%) compared to $633 thousand (an effective rate of 37.9%) for the same period in 2002.

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. Management measures the 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 the Company’s 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 board of director’s approval, 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 dealers and 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. The Company does not use off balance sheet financing.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES: MARKET RISK

Market risk

     Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting the Company. Each subsidiary bank 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 the Company’s 2002 annual report on Form 10-K for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as of December 31, 2002. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2003. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial. The Company does not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

     The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms

21


 

of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate.

Changes in internal controls

     The Company made no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial officers.
