First National Bankshares of Florida, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business:
First National Bankshares of Florida, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida on August 12, 2003 as a wholly owned subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (F.N.B.). On January 1, 2004, the Company was spun-off from F.N.B. The Company is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Naples, Florida. The Company owns and operates First National Bank of Florida, (a community bank); Roger Bouchard Insurance, Inc. (an insurance agency); and First National Wealth Management Company (a national trust company). The Company has full-service offices located throughout southwest and central Florida.
The spin-off resulted in the division of certain existing corporate support functions between the two resulting entities. Corporate expenses included in the Companys financial results for periods prior to the spin-off represent an allocation of F.N.B.s corporate expense to the Companys subsidiaries. This allocation is based on a specific review to identify costs incurred for the benefit of the subsidiaries of the Company and in managements judgment results in a reasonable allocation of such costs. The Company was allocated $3.3 million of overhead costs related to shared administrative and support functions for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the effective date of the spin-off included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in the future or had it operated as a separate, independent company during the periods presented.
Basis of Presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of First National Bank of Florida, Roger Bouchard Insurance, Inc., and First National Wealth Management Company, all of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The financial condition and results of operations of acquisitions accounted for as purchases are included in the Companys financial statements from the date the acquisition was completed. (See the Mergers and Acquisitions section of this report).
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on total assets, liabilities, stockholders equity, net income or cash flows.
Common Stock Dividend:
On April 19, 2004, the Company declared a 3 percent common stock dividend payable on July 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2004. Per share amounts have been adjusted for the 3 percent stock dividend declared on April 19, 2004.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
5
Preferred Securities of Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trust:
On March 31, 2004, the Company acquired the common stock of First National Bankshares Statutory Trust II (Issuer Trust), an unconsolidated subsidiary trust. The Issuer Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of $25.0 million of its preferred securities to third-party investors and common stock to acquire a $25.8 million debenture issued by the Company. This debenture and certain capitalized costs associated with the issuance of the preferred stock comprise the Issuer Trusts only assets and the interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the preferred securities. The Company recorded the debenture in Long-term debt and its equity interest in the business trust in Securities available for sale on the balance sheet. The debenture and preferred securities bear interest at a floating rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 279 basis points.
The Company has entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities of the Issuer Trust subject to the terms of the guarantee.
FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, raised questions about whether trust preferred securities issued by unconsolidated subsidiary trusts could be treated as Tier 1 capital. On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve Board issued a letter stating that trust preferred securities will continue to be included in Tier 1 capital until notice is given to the contrary. As such, the debenture issued to the Issuer Trust currently qualifies as Tier 1 capital under present Federal Reserve Board guidelines.
New Accounting Standards:
In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, which provides registrants the SECs view on recording the fair value of loan commitments. Under SAB 105, the fair value of loan commitments that are required to follow derivative accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, should not consider the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. The staff believes that incorporating expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan essentially results in the immediate recognition of a servicing asset, which is only appropriate once the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or by securitization of the loan with servicing retained. The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The staff will not object to the application of existing accounting practices to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into on or before March 31, 2004, with appropriate disclosures. The Company does not anticipate this new accounting standard to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision to FAS 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits. The revision retains the disclosures required by the original standard and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans. In addition, the revised standard requires interim period disclosures of the components of net periodic benefit costs. The required disclosures of the revised standard are provided in the Retirement Plan footnote.
In December 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3 Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. SOP 03-3 prohibits the carryover of an allowance for loan losses on certain loans acquired in a purchase business combination. Increases in expected cash flows to be collected from the contractual cash flows will be recognized as an adjustment of the loans yield over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows will be recognized as an
6
impairment. This accounting guidance will be effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company does not anticipate this new accounting standard to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
Mergers and Acquisitions:
On March 22, 2004, the Company announced the signing of a merger agreement pusuatn to which the Company will acquire all Southern Community Bancorp (Southern), a bank holding company located in Orlando, Florida. Southern is the holding company for Southern Community Bank of Central Florida, Southern Community Bank of Southwest Florida and Southern Community Bank of South Florida. As of March 31, 2004, Southern had $1.0 billion in total assets and $898.9 million in total deposits with 18 offices in central and south Florida. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company will exchange 1.62 shares of its common stock for each share of Southern common stock in a tax-free merger. The exchange ratio is subject to reduction if the average closing price of the Companys common stock exceeds $20.00 per share over a specified period prior to the merger. The exchange ratio is also subject to adjustment should the Company change the number of its outstanding shares as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or reclassification prior to the transaction closing. In order to mitigate the dilutive impact of Southerns stock options, the Company plans to repurchase approximately 1.1 million of its common shares in the open market. The common share repurchase will be funded through the $25.0 million in trust preferred securities issued on March 31, 2004.
The merger, which is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 2004, is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
On July 1, 2003, Roger Bouchard Insurance, Inc. completed its acquisition of Lupfer-Frakes, Inc. (Lupfer), an independent insurance agency located in central Florida. Roger Bouchard Insurance, Inc. paid $10.2 million in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Lupfer. The transaction, which was accounted for as a purchase, resulted in the recognition of $8.5 million in goodwill and $1.3 million in customer and renewal lists. The value assigned to the customer and renewal lists will be amortized over a ten-year period. Lupfers results of operations have been reflected in the Companys results beginning in the third quarter of 2003.
On March 31, 2003, F.N.B. completed its acquisition of Charter Banking Corp. (Charter), a bank holding company headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with assets having a fair value of $795.6 million. As a result, Charter became a wholly-owned subsidiary of F.N.B. The acquisition of Charter allowed F.N.B. to access the Hillsborough County market and to expand its presence in the Pinellas County market. Charters only subsidiary was Southern Exchange Bank (SEB). In exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of Charter, F.N.B. paid $150.2 million. The transaction, which was accounted for as a purchase, resulted in the recognition of approximately $103.2 million in nondeductible goodwill and $1.1 million in core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangibles will be amortized over a ten-year period. The fair market value assigned to loans, investments, fixed assets, deposits and long-term debt was $169.8 million, $461.5 million, $40.8 million, $481.5 million and $154.5 million, respectively. The fair market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was based on either quoted market values or discounting future cash flows using market rates as of March 31, 2003. These purchase adjustments, which were recorded by SEB, will be amortized or accreted in future periods over the estimated lives of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Current third party independent appraisals were used to value the land and buildings included in fixed assets. Merger-related costs totaling $1.2 million were incurred in connection with this acquisition, which was related to employment obligations. Charter was merged into F.N.B. Corporation on August 22, 2003.
7
SEBs results of operations have been reflected in the Companys results since the acquisition date of March 31, 2003. SEB was merged into First National Bank of Florida on October 10, 2003 as part of an internal reorganization.
The Company regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and holds discussions with, various acquisition candidates and as a general rule the Company publicly announces such acquisitions only after a definitive merger agreement has been reached.

The Company does not believe unrealized losses, individually or in the aggregate, as of March 31, 2004 represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses are primarily a result of changes in interest rates and will not prohibit the Company from receiving its contractual interest and principal payments. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period necessary to recover the amortized cost.

Commitments, Credit Risk and Contingencies
The Company has commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which involve certain elements of credit risk in excess of the amount stated in the consolidated balance sheet. The Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Consistent credit policies are used by the Company for both on- and off-balance sheet items.

Commitments to extend credit |
$ | 721,276 | $ | 717,079 | ||
Standby letters of credit |
30,327 | 34,842 |
At March 31, 2004, funding of approximately 79% of the commitments to extend credit is dependent on the financial condition of the customer. The Company has the ability to withdraw such commitments at its discretion. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Based on managements credit evaluation of the customer, collateral may be deemed necessary. Collateral requirements vary and may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company which may require payment at a future date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the exercise of stock options and warrants. Such adjustments to the weighted average number of shares of common stock are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per share.
On the date of the spin-off, F.N.B. stock options held by employees of the Company were converted into stock options of the Company. Since the stock options were converted after year end, it is not possible to estimate the dilutive impact to the Company for periods prior to the distribution. The conversion of the stock options provided the employees with a benefit similar to that provided by the F.N.B. options. Therefore, the dilutive effect of the stock options on the Companys prior periods weighted average shares outstanding is assumed by applying the one-for-one distribution ratio of the spin-off to the dilutive effect of such stock options of F.N.B. In addition, F.N.B. had convertible preferred stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2003. F.N.B. redeemed its preferred stock in exchange for F.N.B. common stock during the second quarter of 2003. As such, the dilutive effect of F.N.B.s preferred stock on the Companys prior periods weighted average shares outstanding is assumed by applying the exchange ratio to the dilutive effect of such securities of F.N.B.

PART I.
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see Important Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.
Separation from F.N.B.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on August 12, 2003 as a wholly owned subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (F.N.B.). On January 1, 2004, we became an independent public company through a tax-free spin-off from F.N.B., with F.N.B. having no continuing ownership interest in us. The consolidated financial statements for periods presented prior to the effective date of the spin-off reflect the historical financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the businesses transferred to us from F.N.B. prior to the distribution. However, this financial information is not necessarily indicative of what our results of operations or financial position would have been had we operated as an independent company during the periods presented.
In connection with the separation from F.N.B., our subsidiaries incurred approximately $10.5 million in restructuring expenses during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. These expenses consisted of $5.3 million of early retirement expenses and involuntary separation costs, $4.2 million in professional fees, and approximately $1.0 million in fixed asset write-off and other expenses connected with the separation. On March 31, 2004, a liability associated with separation of approximately $3.0 million remained. This liability primarily consists of amounts due to terminated employees under various benefit plans and employment agreements. Continued payments to these terminated employees will be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of such benefit plans and employment agreements.
First Three Months of 2004 as Compared to First Three Months of 2003
Net income was $10.3 million for the first three months of 2004 compared to net income of $8.7 million for the first three months of 2003. Basic earnings per share were $.22 and $.18 for the first three months of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $.21 and $.18 for the first three months of 2004 and 2003, respectively. Common comparative ratios for results of operations include the return on average assets and the return on average equity. Our return on average assets was 1.09% for the first three months of 2004 compared to 1.25% for the first three months of 2003, while our return on average equity was 11.19% for the first three months 2004 and 12.72% for the same period in 2003. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 include Southern Exchange Bank (SEB) and Lupfer-Frakes Insurance, Inc. (Lupfer-Frakes), which were acquired on March 31, 2003 and July 1, 2003, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were reduced $.01 per share due to after-tax merger expenses of $659,000.

(1) | The average balances and yields earned on securities are based on historical cost. |
(2) | The amounts are reflected on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35%, adjusted for certain federal tax preferences. |
(3) | Average balances include non-accrual loans. Loans consist of average total loans less average unearned income. The amount of loan fees included in interest income on loans is immaterial. |
(4) | Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the difference between total interest earned and total interest paid by total interest earning assets. |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, our primary source of earnings, is the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, exceed interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, totaled $33.0 million for the first three months of 2004, an increase of 15.5% as compared to $28.6 million for the same period 2003. We were able to grow net interest income by increasing interest-earning assets and effectively managing interest paid on deposits. With rates at a historical low point, we expect to have limited ability to lower certain deposit rates further. Net interest income consisted of interest income of $43.9 million and interest expense of $10.9 million for the first three months of 2004 compared to $38.5 million and $10.0 million, respectively, for the same period in 2003. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 84 basis points and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 40 basis points. Net interest margin decreased from 4.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 4.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decline in the margin can be attributed to the acquisition of SEB, and the acceleration of prepayments and repricing of interest-earning assets and additional interest expense on borrowings obtained in connection with the spin-off from F.N.B. The impact of future rate changes on our net interest income is discussed further under the Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity caption below.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the rates for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 (in thousands):

The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes.
For the first three months of 2004, interest income on loans increased 7.2% from $33.0 million to $35.3 million, as average loans increased by $437.1 million. Interest income on investment securities increased $3.0 million to $8.5 million for the first three months of 2004, as the average balance of investment securities increased $352.4 million to $798.6 million. The increase in the average balance of investment securities was primarily attributable to the acquisition of SEB.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $308,000, or 3.6%, for the first three months of 2004 while average interest-bearing deposits increased by $531.3 million. The average balance in interest-bearing demand, savings, and time deposits increased $92.0 million, $102.1 million, and $337.2 million, respectively. We continued to generate non-interest-bearing deposits successfully as such deposits increased by $96.6 million, or 17.8%, for the first three months of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased by $78,000 and the interest rate paid decreased by 18 basis points for the first three months of 2004 as compared to the first three month of 2003. Interest expense on long-term debt increased $1.3 million in 2004 solely from a $238.5 million increase in average long-term debt as the rate paid decreased 331 basis points. The increase in the average long-term debt is attributable to SEBs FHLB borrowings and the debt incurred in connection with the spin-off.
The provision for loan losses charged to operations is a direct result of managements analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which takes into consideration factors, including qualitative factors, relevant to the collectibility of the existing portfolio. The provision for loan losses decreased from $1.7 million for the first three months of 2003 to $1.4 million for the same period in 2004.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income increased 10.6% from $15.1 million for the first three months of 2003 to $16.7 million for the same period in 2004. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 22.5% during the first three months of 2004 to $4.9 million from $4.0 million for the same period in 2003. Income from wealth management services increased $444,000, or 29.9%, to $1.9 million for the first three months of 2004 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2003. Insurance commissions and fees increased 26.4% from $6.1 million for the first three months of 2003 to $7.7 million for the same period in 2004. The Lupfer-Frakes acquisition contributed insurance commissions and fees of $1.4 million in the first three months of 2004. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans for the first three months of 2004 decreased 47.0% to $1.0 million as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2003. The gains on the sale of mortgage loans generated in 2003 were a direct result of homeowner refinancing to fixed-rate products driven by mortgage interest rates declining to historic levels. As mortgage rates increase, we do not anticipate the level of gains experienced in 2003 to continue.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased 15.2% from $28.2 million for the first three months of 2003 to $32.5 million for the same period in 2004. We recorded merger costs associated with SEB of $1.0 million in 2003, which were related to employment obligations. For the first three months of 2004, salary and employee benefits increased $2.7 million, to $19.5 million, from $16.8 million for the same period in 2003. The increase is due to increased health care costs and the acquisitions of SEB and Lupfer-Frakes in 2003. Other non-interest expense totaled $7.3 million for 2004, a $1.1 million increase from 2003.
20
Our income tax expense was $5.0 million for the first three months of 2004 compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2003. The 2004 effective tax rate of 32.7% was lower than the 35.0% federal statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting from tax-free interest and dividend income.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our goal in liquidity management is to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as our operating cash needs, with cost-effective funding. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by treasury personnel. In addition, our Corporate Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes members of executive management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves changes in strategies which affect balance sheet or cash flow positions. Our board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Policy in order to achieve and maintain earnings performance consistent with long-term goals while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk, a well-capitalized balance sheet and adequate levels of liquidity. This policy designates the ALCO as the body responsible for meeting this objective.
Liquidity sources from assets include payments from loans and investments as well as the ability to sell loans and investment securities. Liquidity sources from liabilities are generated through growth in core deposits and, to a lesser extent, the use of wholesale sources which include federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and public deposits. In addition, our banking subsidiary has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). FHLB advances are a competitively priced and reliable source of funds. As of March 31, 2004, outstanding advances were $256.7 million, or 6.4% of total assets, while FHLB availability was $596.5 million, or 14.9% of total assets.
The principal source of cash for the parent company is dividends from its subsidiaries. The parent company has availability to borrow up to $75.0 million through unsecured lines of credit with several major domestic banks. These lines, which were unused as of March 31, 2004, provide the parent company a source of short-term funding.
Our core deposits, total deposits excluding time deposits greater than $100,000, increased $162.5 million for the first three months of 2004 and $110.7 million for the same period in 2003, providing the primary source of financing for our lending activities, including origination of mortgage loans held for sale in the secondary market. Mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market totaled $63.9 million for the first three months of 2004, as compared to $103.9 million for the same period of 2003.
The ALCO regularly monitors various liquidity ratios and forecasts of cash position. Management believes that we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our normal operating and contingency funding cash needs.
Our financial performance is at risk from interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk arises due to differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest bearing-liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time, the difference between the change in various interest rates and the embedded options in certain financial instruments. We utilize an asset/liability model to measure the impact of our balance sheet strategies. We use net interest income simulations, gap analysis and the economic value of equity to measure interest rate risk.
The following gap analysis measures our interest rate risk by comparing the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time. The ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities maturing over a one year period was 1.43 at March 31, 2004, as compared to 1.38 at December 31, 2003. A ratio of more than one indicates a higher level of repricing assets over repricing liabilities, assuming the current interest rate environment.

Net interest income simulations measure the short-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest in a more rigorous and explicit fashion. Our current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under varying hypothetical rate scenarios. The economic value of equity (EVE) measures our long-term earnings exposure from changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point in time. A decrease in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates a decline in the long-term earnings capacity of the balance sheet assuming that the rate change remains in effect over the life of the current balance sheet. The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of our annual net interest income and EVE to sudden and sustained changes in market rates:

Net interest income change (12 months): |

The preceding measures indicate that the balance sheet structure as of March 31, 2004 is somewhat less susceptible to large and immediate rate changes than as of three months ago. This is largely a function of additional fixed rate medium-term funding in the form of FHLB advances and certificates of deposit. Commercial loan volume has increased, thereby creating a more even match with the majority of interest-bearing liabilities. The risk of declining rates remains moderate; however, we do not view a decrease in rates as a probable event.
The preceding measures assume no change in asset/liability compositions. Thus, the measures do not reflect actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates.
The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions regarding characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions employed in the model include asset prepayment speeds, the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.
Changes in the interest rate environment can cause significant fluctuations in the market value of mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. We utilize forward sales commitments on mortgage loans to offset the risk of decreases in the market values of the loans as a result of increases in interest rates. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we had $7.4 million and $5.2 million in forward sales agreements, respectively.

We strive to minimize credit losses by utilizing credit approval standards, diversifying our loan portfolio by industry and borrower, and conducting ongoing review and management of the loan portfolio.
Our loan portfolio is well-diversified with a significant portion of the portfolio being made up of loans secured by real estate. Residential, commercial and construction loans secured by real estate accounted for 88.7% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2004.
The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within our primary market area of southwest and central Florida. With the forecasted growth in our primary market over the upcoming years, we anticipate organic growth in our loan portfolio to continue at historical levels.
As of March 31, 2004, no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans existed which were not disclosed as a separate category of loans.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and other real estate owned. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. It is our policy to discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 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, all unpaid interest is reversed. Payments on non-accrual loans are generally applied either to principal or interest or both, depending on managements evaluation of collectibility. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid or the loan becomes both well secured and in the process of collection. Consumer installment loans are generally charged off against the allowance for loan losses upon reaching 90 to 180 days past due, depending on the installment loan type. Restructured loans are loans in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress.
Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of our loan review and work-out process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses are recognized where appropriate.

Loans past due 90 days or more, on which interest accruals continue, were $1.3 million, and $163,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
All loans where information exists about possible credit problems that would cause us to have serious doubts about the borrowers ability to comply with the current terms of the loan have been reflected in the table summarizing non-performing loans and loans past due 90 days or more.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated and an unallocated component. Managements analysis of the allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses includes the evaluation of the loan portfolio based upon our internal loan grading system, evaluation of portfolio industry concentrations and the historical loss experience of the remaining balances of the various homogeneous loan pools which comprise the loan portfolio. Specific factors used in the internal loan grading system include the previous loan loss experience with the customer, the status of past due interest and principal payments on the loan, the collateral position and residual value of the loan, the quality of financial information supplied by the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower.
The unallocated portion of the allowance is determined based on managements assessment of historical loss on the remaining portfolio segments in conjunction with the current status of economic conditions, loan loss trends, delinquency and non-accrual trends, credit administration, portfolio growth, concentrations of credit risk and other factors, including regulatory guidance. This determination inherently involves a higher degree of uncertainty, considers current risk factors that may not have yet manifested themselves in our historical loss factors used to determine the allocated component of the allowance, and recognizes that knowledge of the portfolio may be incomplete.
The provision for loan losses charged to operations in each period presented is a direct result of managements assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period. Factors considered in managements assessment include growth in the loan portfolio, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit risk, current trends in net charge-offs, trends in non-performing loans and current economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. The provision for loan losses decreased to $1.4 million for the first three months of 2004 compared with $1.7 million for the same period in 2003. Factors considered in the level of the provision during 2004 included the decrease in non accrual loans, the level of net charge-offs and increased loan concentrations, primarily in commercial real estate loans.
Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through provisions for credit losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 charge-offs, net of any subsequent recovery, totaled $363,000 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2003.

Capital Resources
Capital management is a continuous process. We and our subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces. We seek to maintain a strong capital base to support our growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.
Stockholders equity increased through earnings retention by $7.1 million from December 31, 2003. Book value per share was $8.16 at March 31, 2004, compared to $7.88 at December 31, 2003.
We have $67.0 million in debentures to an unconsolidated subsidiary trust which qualifies as Tier 1 capital under present Federal Reserve Board guidelines. In addition, our banking subsidiary has a $17.0 million subordinated loan commitment with a correspondent bank which qualifies as Tier 2 capital.
