TIB FINANCIAL CORP.
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2003
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION & ACCOUNTING POLICIES

TIB Financial Corp. is a financial holding company headquartered in Key Largo, Florida. TIB Financial Corp. owns and operates TIB Bank of the Keys, which has a total of fourteen branches in Florida that are located in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Collier and Lee counties.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for TIB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-X. 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 statement presentation. For further information and an additional description of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The consolidated statements include the accounts of TIB Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank of the Keys, TIB Software and Services, Inc., TIBFL Statutory Trust I, TIBFL Statutory Trust II, and Keys Insurance Agency, Inc. (see Note 11) and the Bank’s two subsidiaries, TIB Government Loan Specialists, Inc. and TIB Investment Center Inc., collectively known as the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts previously reported on have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

As used in this document, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TIB Financial,” and “Company” mean TIB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning), and the term “Bank” means TIB Bank of the Keys and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning).

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Statement 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” both of which became effective in the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of these new statements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Additionally in 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, which will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2003. Management does not believe that the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Accounting and reporting policies for the allowance for loan losses are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Application of assumptions different than those used by management could result in material changes in the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses is included in the 2002 Annual Report and 10-K, Note 5 below and the “Non-Performing Assets” section of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

On May 29, 2003, TIB Software & Services sold its remaining interest in ERAS Joint Venture for $326,667. The Company recognized a pretax gain of approximately $202,000 on the transaction.

On August 15, 2003, the Company closed the sale of Keys Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 11 – “Discontinued Operations” for details on the transaction.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Bank’s 1994 Incentive Stock Option and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) as amended and restated as of August 31, 1996, the Company may grant stock options to persons who are now or who during the term of the Plan become directors, officers, or key executives as defined by the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan may either be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s Board of Directors may grant nonqualified stock options to any director, and incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to any officer, key

Table of Contents

executive, administrative, or other employee including an employee who is a director of the Company. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be optioned or sold is 978,000 shares. Such shares may be treasury, or authorized but unissued, shares of common stock of the Company. If options granted under the Plan expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the shares not purchased shall again be available for option for the purposes of the Plan.

Total options granted, exercised, and cancelled/expired during the nine months ended September, 2003, were 24,500, 91,800, and 12,850, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, 487,055 options for shares were outstanding.

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“Statement No. 123”), the Company accounts for its stock option plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and its related interpretations. Because all options granted under the Company’s plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income under the Company’s application of APB 25. Additionally, the Company did not issue any options to non-employees who were not directors for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

The following tables present the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had recognized compensation expense under the fair value recognition provisions of Statement No. 123:

Management believes, as of September 30, 2003, that the Company and the Bank met all capital requirements to which they are subject. The Company has included in Tier 1 Capital a portion of the trust preferred securities that were issued in September 2000 and July 2001.

In June 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 280,653 shares of its common stock to residents of Monroe County, Southwest Florida and Homestead/Florida City. The shares also were purchased by three members of the Company’s Board of Directors and an executive officer. The private placement raised approximately $4.3 million in capital at a sales price of $15.64 per share which was priced at 95% of the average closing bid price for the shares during the five consecutive trading days ending on the fifth business day prior to the commencement of the offering.

NOTE 10 - SEGMENT REPORTING

TIB Financial Corp. has two reportable segments in their continuing operations: community banking and merchant bankcard processing. The community banking segment’s business is to attract deposits from the public and to use such deposits to make real estate, business and consumer loans in its primary service area. The merchant bankcard processing segment processes credit card transactions for local merchants. The results of Keys Insurance Agency, Inc. are not included in the segment reporting as they are classified separately as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements (see Note 11). Total assets of Keys Insurance Agency, Inc. at September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 were $181,498 and $2,323,790, respectively.

Segment information is presented in accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” This standard is based on a management approach, which requires segmentation based upon the Company’s internal organization and disclosure of operating results based upon internal accounting methods.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and as such may involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of TIB Financial Corp. to be materially different from future results described in such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the effects of future economic conditions; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, and interest rate risks; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, consumer finance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the Company’s market area and elsewhere. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of TIB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of September 30, 2003, and statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s net income of $1,162,945 for the third quarter of 2003, was a $57,713 or 4.7% decrease compared to $1,220,658 for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2003 were $0.26 and $0.25 respectively as compared to $0.30 and $0.29 per share in the previous year’s quarter.

Net income from continuing operations was $1,140,471 for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $1,168,289 for the prior year period, a decrease of $27,818 or 2.4%. As discussed in Note 11 of the accompanying “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”, the Company closed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Keys Insurance Agency, Inc., in the third quarter of 2003. Due to this sale, recorded goodwill was reduced by $2,010,211, resulting in a direct increase in regulatory capital that will be used to support further growth and expansion of the Company’s core business.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Company’s income, and is affected by the interest rate environment, and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets for the Company include loans, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and investment securities. The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities include its deposits, federal funds purchased, notes payable related to Company shares repurchased, trust preferred securities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and other short term borrowings.

Net interest income was $6,345,334 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $5,238,621 for the same period in 2002. The 21.1% increase was mainly attributable to increased volumes in the loan portfolio which is one of our highest yielding asset classes, and these funds came primarily from the deposit growth of the Bank. Partially offsetting this

14


Table of Contents

was a relative increase in interest expense on time deposits, our highest cost deposit category as a percentage share of total deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio which have been incurred at each balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses increased $344,000 or 334.0% to $447,000 in the third quarter of 2003 compared to $103,000 in the third quarter of 2002. The higher provision for loan losses in 2003 was attributable to growth in the loan portfolio which this year included significant amounts of indirect automobile loans compared to very few in the prior year. Net charge-offs were $146,620 during the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $1,200 net recoveries for the same period in 2002. Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provisions in the future as necessary, in the opinion of management, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $2,897,131. This represents a $595,335 or 25.9% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $2,301,796. The increase in non-interest income is attributable to an increase of $83,980 in service charges on deposit accounts; an increase of $251,243 in merchant bankcard processing income; a $184,413 increase in fees on mortgage loans sold; a $75,499 increase in retail investment services; a $2,166 increase in other income; offset by a $1,966 decrease in net investment security gains.

The increases in merchant bankcard processing income, fees on mortgage loans sold and retail investment services are primarily a result of volume increases. Service charges on deposit accounts increased primarily due to an increase in service charge fees.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2003 was $7,040,194. This represents a $1,300,196 or 22.7% increase over the prior year quarter which totaled $5,739,998. The increase in non-interest expense is attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $624,620, net occupancy expense increasing $142,954, and other expense increasing $532,622. A portion of these increases are a result of the continuing expansion in the Southwest Florida market. The Bank added a new location there in the fourth quarter of 2002. The addition of this facility, as well as other branch openings in recent years and their continued growth, has caused the Bank to hire additional personnel and incur additional operating costs. Further, additional staffing has been required for the origination and servicing of indirect loans and to meet the compliance requirements under the Patriot Act and other new government regulations. We also had increased commission expense over the prior year, due to increased revenues from fees on mortgage loans sold and retail investment services. Additionally, this quarter the Bank reduced its carrying value of a foreclosed property by $168,000 to reflect a reduced market value, as discussed under the “Non-Performing Assets” section.

INCOME TAXES

The change in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the growth in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes related to continuing operations totaled $614,800, for an effective tax rate of 35.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and $529,130 for an effective tax rate of 31.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s net income of $3,637,668 for the first nine months of 2003, was a $124,526 or 3.5% increase compared to $3,513,142 for the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2003 were $0.87 and $0.83 respectively as compared to $0.88 and $0.85 per share in the previous year’s nine month period.

Performance of banks is often measured by various ratio analyses. Two widely recognized indicators are return on average equity and return on average assets. Annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 13.21% on average equity of $36,717,000, compared to 15.35% on average equity of $30,509,000 for the same period in 2002. Annualized return on average assets of $611,244,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was 0.79%, compared to 0.89% on average assets of $527,169,000 for the same period in 2002.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the largest component of the Company’s income, and is affected by the

15


Table of Contents

interest rate environment, and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets for the Company include loans, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other banks, and investment securities. The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities include its deposits, federal funds purchased, notes payable related to Company shares repurchased, trust preferred securities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and other short term borrowings.

Net interest income increased $2,667,825, or 17.3%, to $18.1 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period last year. The prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal began 2002 at 4.75%, by November 2002 it had declined to 4.25% and in June 2003 it declined to 4.00%. Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to this floating rate, although they also include floors. The lower level of prime rate in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the comparative period in 2002 did result in a lower average yield in the loan portfolio, however, increased volumes more than compensated for this allowing for the reported increase in interest income. In addition to this increase in interest income, the Company has been able to reprice maturing high-rate certificates of deposit and other funding sources resulting in a reduction in interest expense compared to the prior year.

In furtherance of our efforts to generate higher relative yielding assets, the Bank began a program to acquire indirect automobile loans. After significant study, we began in April 2002 to put together a department that we feel could safely acquire and service this type of product. We predominately buy loans from auto dealers in southwest Florida which are for the purchase of new or late model used cars. We serve customers over a broad range of creditworthiness and the required terms and rates are reflective of those risk profiles. By the end of 2002, we were buying approximately $4 million per month of indirect automobile paper and as of September 30, 2003, we had approximately $50.9 million of indirect loans outstanding.

The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2003 was 6.20% which was a decrease of 35 basis points compared to the 6.55% yield earned during the first nine months of 2002. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined 40 basis points from 2.34% during the first nine months of 2002 to 1.94% for the comparable period in 2003, and the rate of all interest-bearing liabilities decreased 43 basis points, from 2.62% in 2002 to 2.19% in 2003. The Company’s net interest margin increased to 4.40% in the first nine months of 2003 compared to 4.36% in the first nine months of 2002. We anticipate interest rates slowly trending up over the next twelve months. If this occurs or if rates remain stable, net interest margin should expand only slightly due principally to strong new loan production.

The following table presents average balances of the Company, the taxable-equivalent interest earned, and the rate paid thereon during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in TIB Financial Corp’s loan portfolio which have been incurred at each balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses increased $666,000 or 180.5% to $1,035,000 in the first nine months of 2003 compared to $369,000 in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan losses in 2003 was attributable to growth in the loan portfolio and higher net charge-offs. Net charge-offs were $452,580 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $199,079 for the same period in 2002. Management will continue to monitor the credit quality of the lending portfolio and will recognize additional provisions in the future as necessary, in the opinion of management, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2003 was $9,063,320. This represents a $1,565,325 or 20.9% increase over the prior year period which totaled $7,497,995. The increase in non-interest income is attributable to an increase of $164,587 in service charges on deposit accounts; an increase of $390,297 in merchant bankcard processing income; a $64,291 increase in gain on sale of government guaranteed loans; a $721,675 increase in fees on mortgage loans sold; a $130,331 increase in retail investment services; a $202,393 increase in gain on sale of investment in ERAS Joint Venture; a $26,507 increase in other income; offset by a $134,756 decrease in net investment security gains.

The increases in merchant bankcard processing income, fees on mortgage loans sold and retail investment services are primarily a result of volume increases. On May 29, 2003, we sold our remaining interest in ERAS Joint Venture for $326,667. We recognized a pretax gain of approximately $202,000 on this transaction. The net gain from the sale of investment securities will vary based upon the sales and calls of the individual securities in the investment portfolio. In 2002, the gain was primarily the result of the sale of two corporate securities which netted a gain of approximately $65,000 in the first quarter of 2002 and the sale of two agency securities in the second quarter of 2002 that netted a gain of approximately $64,000. The amount in 2003 relates to the gain on certain calls of investment securities in the first and third quarters. Gain on sale of government guaranteed loans result from a relatively small number of transactions and, therefore, the revenue recognition from these transactions can vary considerably depending on the number of loans sold and the dollar amount of the transactions. There was one loan sold in the first nine months of 2002 and one loan sold in the first nine months of 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased primarily due to an increase in service charge fees. Also included in non-interest income is an increase in fee income resulting from the Bank’s expansion of its residential mortgage origination function into the transaction rich market of Southwest Florida. These fees result from the immediate sale of fixed rate residential mortgages into the secondary market.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2003 was $20,691,803. This represents a $3,247,059 or 18.6% increase over the prior year period which totaled $17,444,744. The increase in non-interest expense is attributable to salaries and employee benefits increasing $1,812,252, net occupancy expense increasing $458,037, and other expense increasing $976,770. A portion of these increases are a result of the continuing expansion in the Southwest Florida market. The Bank added a new location there in the fourth quarter of 2002. The addition of this facility, as well as other branch openings in recent years and their continued growth, has caused the Bank to hire additional personnel and incur additional operating costs. Opening new branch facilities is dilutive to earnings in the near term but may be a factor in achieving sustainable long-term growth. Further, additional staffing has been required to handle the growing lending portfolios, increased customer activity and compliance with new government regulations, such as the Patriot Act. This includes additional staffing for the origination and servicing of indirect loans which began in the second quarter of 2002. Another reason for the salaries and employee benefits increase is the higher commission expense that resulted from increased revenues from non-interest income sources, such as fees on mortgage loans sold, retail investment services, and gain on sale of government guaranteed loans. Additionally, the Bank has reduced its carrying value of a foreclosed property by a total of $262,000 in 2003 to reflect a reduced market value as discussed under the “Non-Performing Assets” section.

INCOME TAXES

The change in income tax expense is primarily attributable to the growth in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes related to continuing operations totaled $1,890,100, for an effective tax rate of 35.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and $1,709,230, for an effective tax rate of 33.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $645,898,279, up 13.9% from total assets of $567,148,646 at December 31, 2002. Loans net of deferred loan costs increased $69,548,159, or 15.7%, to $512,076,093 for the first nine months of 2003 from year end 2002. Also, in the same period, federal funds sold increased $4,180,000, and investment securities increased $10,622,801.

Asset growth was primarily funded by an increase in deposits of $60,199,667, or 12.5%. At September 30, 2003, the Company had $3,072,256 in short-term borrowings compared to $4,578,959 at December 31, 2002. Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Treasury tax deposits. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $35 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to $20 million at December 31, 2002.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $39,963,952 at September 30, 2003, increasing $6,457,875 from December 31, 2002. In June 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 280,653 shares of its common stock to individuals who qualify as “accredited investors” under the federal and state securities laws. Residents of Monroe County, Southwest Florida and Homestead/Florida City purchased shares, along with three members of the Company’s Board of Directors and an executive officer. The private placement raised approximately $4.3 million in capital at a sales price of $15.64 per share which was priced at 95% of the average closing bid price for the shares during the five consecutive trading days ending on the fifth business day prior to the commencement of the offering. The shares of common stock in this offering were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws pursuant to the private offering exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and other state securities laws. The common stock may not be resold or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered under the 1933 Act and other applicable state securities law, or pursuant to an exemption from applicable state and federal registration requirements.

Book value per share increased to $9.07 at September 30, 2003 from $8.30 at December 31, 2002. The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share in the first, second and third quarters of 2003 and $0.1075 per share in the first, second and third quarters of 2002.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, restructured loans and other real estate. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest and generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Non-performing assets for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:

(a) The Bank has made a loan originally totaling $10,000,000 to construct a lumber mill in northern Florida. Of this amount, $6,400,000 had been sold by the Bank to other lenders. The loan was partially guaranteed as to principal and

  interest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In addition to business real estate and equipment, the loan was collateralized by the business owner’s interest in a trust. Under provisions of the trust agreement, beneficiaries cannot receive trust assets until November 2010. At December 31, 2000, the loan was past due greater than 90 days but was still maintained as an accruing loan because of the USDA guarantee and collateral value. During 2001, upon completion of foreclosure on the underlying collateral, the non-guaranteed portion of this loan and interest accrued through the foreclosure date was reclassified into other real estate ($550,000) and other assets (approximately $1,886,000) based on the fair value of the underlying-collateral. The portion of this loan guaranteed by the USDA was approximately $1.6 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, and is accruing interest. Accrued interest on this loan totals approximately $569,000 and $505,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
 
  The Bank has been pursuing a sale of the property and equipment and has incurred various expenditures. The Bank has capitalized those liquidation costs and protective advances which it expects will be fully reimbursed by the USDA. Other real estate recorded on the Bank’s books totaled $239,964 and $550,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The non-guaranteed principal and interest ($1,961,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002) and the capitalized liquidation costs and protective advance costs totaling approximately $555,000 and $558,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively are included as “other assets” in the table above.

  The Bank has sold certain pieces of equipment associated with the lumber mill property. Proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the other real estate amount and liquidation cost amounts recorded on the Bank’s books. In the second quarter of 2003, the Bank wrote down the carrying amount of the other real estate by $94,000 based upon anticipated proceeds from the sale of the property and remaining equipment. The Bank has since reduced the asking price of the property, and an additional write down of $168,000 was made in the third quarter of 2003.

  Florida law requires a bank to liquidate or charge off repossessed real property within five years, and repossessed personal property within six months. The Bank was awarded title to the real property on June 12, 2001, and an adjudicated interest in the owners trust proceeds. The time constraints imposed by Florida law required that the personal property be disposed of or charged off by December 2001. The Bank applied to the State of Florida for an extension to carry the personal property on the Bank’s books and was granted an extension to carry the personal property on its books until June 11, 2003. Since the property had not been liquidated as of June 11th, the Bank charged-off the non guaranteed principal and interest totaling $1,961,000 at June 30, 2003, for regulatory purposes. Since we believe this amount is ultimately realizable, we did not write off this amount for financial statement purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $4,854,919 and $4,272,499 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

The Company’s formalized process for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any, for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income, includes both individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses. Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on loan relationships of a significant size, or when otherwise deemed necessary, and primarily encompass commercial real estate and other commercial loans. The result is that commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are divided into the following risk categories: Pass, Special Mention and Substandard or worse. When appropriate a specific reserve will be established for individual loans. Otherwise, the Company allocates an allowance for each risk category. The allocations are based on factors including historical loss rate, economic conditions (local, national and global), strength of the Company’s management, recent trends in loan loss history, and concentrations of credit.

Home equity loans, residential loans and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually. These loans are grouped into pools and assigned risk categories based on their current payment status and management’s assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans. As above, when appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans. Otherwise, the Company allocates an allowance for each loan classification. The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above.

Based on an analysis performed by management at September 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses is considered to be adequate to cover loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of the assumptions we use in our loan analyses, management cannot assure that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations to the allowance will not be required.

LIQUIDITY

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit withdrawal needs of the Company’s customers. The Company manages the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available at all times.

In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, TIB Financial Corp’s banking subsidiary maintains adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities and unused borrowing capacity. The Bank has invested in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The credit availability to the Bank is equal to 14 percent of the Bank’s total assets as reported on the most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the regulators. The credit availability approximated $90.2 million at September 30, 2003, under which $35 million was outstanding. Any advances are secured by the Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.

The Bank has an unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodation up to a maximum of $7.5 million from its principal correspondent bank. The Bank also has securities sold under agreements to repurchase with commercial account holders whereby the Bank sweeps the customer’s accounts on a daily basis and pays interest on these amounts. These agreements are collateralized by investment securities chosen by the Bank.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Closely related to liquidity management is the management of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in net interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates.

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity position at September 30, 2003 is presented in the table below:

The Company is cumulatively liability sensitive thru the one year time period, and asset sensitive in the over one year timeframes above. Certain liabilities such as NOW and passbook savings accounts, while technically subject to immediate repricing in response to changing market rates, historically do not reprice as quickly nor to the extent as other interest sensitive accounts. Accordingly, if market interest rates should decrease, it is anticipated that the net interest margin would decrease. Because of non-interest bearing liabilities, total interest-earning assets are substantially greater than the total interest-bearing liabilities and therefore it is anticipated that over time the effects on net interest income from changes in asset yield will be greater than the change in expense from liability cost. Therefore, if rates increase it is anticipated that the net interest margin

would over time increase and this is particularly true over longer time horizons since the Company has more total assets subject to rate changes than total liabilities that are rate sensitive.

Even in the near term, the $99 million one year cumulative negative sensitivity gap exaggerates the probable effects on earnings in a rising rate environment for two reasons. First, the liabilities subject to repricing are predominately not indexed to any specific market rate and therefore offer the Company the opportunity to delay or diminish any rate repricings. Further, in this current rate environment, the Bank has been originating loans with interest rate floors. The effect of this has been to decrease the volatility of net interest margin and decrease asset sensitivity due to the fact that these loans behave similar to fixed rate loans in periods over a significant range of interest rate changes.

Interest-earning assets and other time deposits are presented based on their contractual terms. It is anticipated that run off in any deposit category will be approximately offset by new deposit generation. Since the Company has experienced steady growth in deposits, no net run off in any deposit category is assumed in the interest rate sensitivity table. It is the Company’s policy to maintain its cumulative one year gap ratio in the –20% to +10% range. At September 30, 2003, the Company was within this range with a one year cumulative sensitivity ratio of (16.8)%.

COMMITMENTS

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer on the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. At September 30, 2003, total commitments to extend credit were approximately $69.7 million in unfunded loan commitments.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Since most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At September 30, 2003, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $1.4 million.

The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties on those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

The Company believes the likelihood of the unfunded loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit either needing to be totally funded or funded at the same time is low. However, should significant funding requirements occur, we have available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed in the “Liquidity” section above.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. The Company has assessed its market risk as predominately interest rate risk.

The following interest rate sensitivity analysis information as of September 30, 2003 was developed using simulation analysis of the Company’s sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates. Specifically, the model derives expected interest income and interest expense resulting from an immediate and parallel shift in the yield curve in the amounts shown.

These rate changes are matched with known repricing intervals and assumptions for new growth net of expected prepayments. The assumptions are based primarily on experience in the Company’s market under varying rate environments. The imbedded options that the Company’s loan customers possess to refinance are considered for purposes of this analysis and cause the larger decreases in income in a declining rate scenario versus the income increases in the same size rising rate scenario.

This analysis intentionally exaggerates interest sensitivity. For the sake of simplicity and comparability, an immediate change in rates is assumed. However, any significant change in actual market rates would probably be phased in over an extended period of time. This phase in would reduce the net interest income effects for any absolute change in rates. Also, the Company has been originating adjustable rate commercial loans with interest rate floors that are currently at rates higher than the index and margin on the loans would indicate. An example would be a loan at Prime plus 1% but with a 7.0% floor. The Company currently has in excess of $173 million of these types of loans where the loan rates are at the floors. The effects of this are twofold. First, this has benefited our margins currently since we have assets earning yields higher than would be the case absent the floor rates. Second, in a declining rate environment and in a limited rising rate environment those “adjustable” rate loans act like fixed rate loans. This limits the Company’s loss of interest income when rates decline but does constrain income gains in a rising rate market. In general, having this significant amount of loans at their floors reduces the Company’s overall rate sensitivity.

The Company attempts to retain interest rate neutrality by generating mostly adjustable rate loans and managing the securities, wholesale funding, and Fed Funds positions to offset the repricing characteristics of the deposit liabilities.
