At December 18, 2009, the fair values of loans with fixed interest rates and variable interest rates
were $221.3 million and $729.1 million, respectively. The fair value of loans receivable with
deterioration of credit quality accounted for using the cost recovery method was $55.6 million due to
our initial assessment of the uncertainty of the expected cash flows. Each of the loans is on
nonaccrual status. Loans with deterioration of credit quality that have an accretable difference are
not included in nonperforming balances even though the customer may be contractually past due. These
loans will accrete interest income over the remaining life of the loan.
The Bank assumed $1.56 billion in deposits at estimated fair value. This amount represents approximately
21.7% of the Bank's total deposits of $7.20 billion at December 31, 2009.
Deposits assumed are composed of the following at acquisition date:

==============================
In its assumption of the deposit liabilities, the Bank believed that the customer relationships
associated with these deposits have intangible value, in accordance with accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets in a business combination. The Bank determined the estimated fair value of the
core deposit intangible asset totaled $11.6 million, which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated
amortization method over an estimated economic life not to exceed 10 years. In determining the valuation
amount, deposits were analyzed based on factors such as type of deposit, deposit retention, interest
rates, and age of deposit relationships.
Future amortization of this core deposit intangible asset over the estimated life will decrease results
of operations, net of any potential tax effect. Since amortization is a noncash item, it will have no
effect upon future liquidity and cash flows. For the calculation of regulatory capital, this core
deposit intangible asset is disallowed and is a reduction to equity capital. The Company expects that
disallowing this intangible asset should not materially adversely affect the Company's or the Bank's
regulatory capital ratios.
The core deposit intangible asset is subject to significant estimates by management of the Company
related to the value and the life of the asset. These estimates could change over time. The Company
will review the valuation of this asset periodically to ensure that no impairment has occurred. If any
impairment is subsequently determined, the Company will record the impairment as an expense in its
consolidated statement of operations.
The Bank also assumed $116.3 million in FHLB advances, at estimated fair value. Within five days after
acquisition, the Company paid off $85.5 million of the FHLB advances which had overnight maturities.
The advances were secured by a blanket lien on eligible loans plus cash. The advances were recorded at
their estimated fair values which were derived using prepayment pricing supplied by the FHLB and have a
weighted average effective interest rate of 3.41%. The remaining advances mature in less than 2 years.
Operating Results and Cash Flows
The Company's management has from time to time become aware of acquisition opportunities and has
performed various levels of review related to potential acquisitions in the past. This acquisition was
attractive to the Company for a variety of reasons, including the:
o ability to increase the Company's market share in Florida;
o attractiveness in the pricing of the acquired loan portfolios including the indemnification assets;
o attractiveness of immediate low cost core deposit funds given that over the past several years,
organic core deposit growth has been exceptionally difficult as financial institutions compete for
deposits; and
o opportunities to enhance income and efficiency due to duplications of effort and decentralized
processes as the Company expects to enhance income by centralizing some duties and removing
duplications of effort.
Based on these and other factors, including the level of FDIC support related to the acquired loans, and
other real estate, the Company believes that the acquisition will have an immediate positive impact on
its earnings.
The acquisition had an immediate accretive impact to the Company's financial results as it recognized a
day 1 pre-tax gain upon acquisition of $33.6 million. The transaction resulted in an after-tax gain of
$20.7 million. Based on December 31, 2009 information, excluding post-acquisition balance sheet changes,
total assets acquired make up 19.7%, or $1.72 billion, of the Company's total assets of $8.70 billion,
and total deposits assumed make up 21.7%, or $1.56 billion, of the Company's total deposits of $7.20
billion. The Company believes that the transaction will improve the Bank's net interest income, as the
Bank earns more from interest earned on its loans and investments than it pays in interest on deposits
and borrowings.
The extent to which the Bank's operating results may be adversely affected by the acquired loans is
largely offset by the loss sharing agreements and the related discounts reflected in the estimated fair
value of these assets at the acquisition date. In accordance with the provisions of accounting for loans
with evidence of credit deterioration, the fair values of the acquired loans reflect an estimate of
expected credit losses related to these assets. As a result, the Company's operating results would only
be adversely affected by loan losses to the extent that such losses exceed the expected credit losses
reflected in the fair value of these assets at the acquisition date. In addition, to the extent that the
stated interest rate on acquired loans was not considered a market rate of interest at the acquisition
date, appropriate adjustments to the acquisition-date fair value were recorded. These adjustments
mitigate the risk associated with the acquisition of loans earning a below-market rate of return.
The accounting guidance for loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination
applies to a loan, for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect
all contractually required payments receivable. This accounting guidance prohibits carrying over or
creating an allowance for loan losses upon initial recognition for loans that fall under its scope. The
Company also has elected to recognize income on loans without evidence of deterioration of credit
quality in the same manner as loans with credit quality deterioration. As of the date of the
acquisition, the preliminary estimate of the contractual principal and interest payments for all
purchased impaired and non-impaired loans was $1.92 billion, a non-accretable amount of $653.8 million,
and the estimated fair value of the loans was $950.4 million, net of an accretable yield of $315.8
million. These amounts were determined based upon the estimated remaining life of the underlying loans,
which include the effects of estimated prepayments, expected credit losses and market liquidity and
interest rates. Additionally, the Bank has elected to treat $55.6 million of loans under the cost
recovery method as expected cash flows could not be reasonably estimated.
The loss sharing agreements will likely have a material impact on the cash flows and operating results
of the Company in both the short-term and the long-term. In the short-term, as stated above, it is
likely that there will be a significant amount of the covered assets that will experience deterioration
in payment performance or will be determined to have inadequate collateral values to repay the loans. In
such instances, the Company will likely no longer receive payments from the borrowers, which will impact
cash flows. The loss sharing agreements will not fully offset the financial effects of such a situation.
However, if a loan is subsequently charged off or charged down after the Company exhausts its best
efforts at collection, the loss sharing agreements will cover a substantial portion of the loss
associated with the covered assets.
The long-term effects that the Company may experience will depend primarily on the ability of the
borrowers under the various loans covered by the loss sharing agreements to make payments over time. As
the loss sharing agreements cover up to a 10-year period (5 years for commercial loans and other
assets), changing economic conditions will likely impact the timing of future charge-offs and the
resulting reimbursements from the FDIC. The Company believes that any recapture of interest income and
recognition of cash flows from the borrowers or received from the FDIC (as part of the FDIC
indemnification asset) may be recognized unevenly over this period, as the Company exhausts its
collection efforts under its normal practices. In addition, the Company recorded substantial discounts
related to the purchase of these covered assets. A portion of these discounts will be accretable to
income over the economic life of the loans and will be dependent upon the timing and success of the
Company's collection efforts on the covered assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The transaction significantly enhanced the liquidity position of the Bank. The Company acquired $98.1
million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash paid by the FDIC to consummate the acquisition, as
well as $5.9 million of securities available for sale. The acquired securities provide monthly cash
flows in the form of principal and interest payments. These additions to the Company's balance sheet
represent additional support for the Company's liquidity needs. In addition, the Company received $302.2
million in cash from the FDIC to compensate for the liabilities assumed in excess of assets acquired.
Deposits in the amount of $1.56 billion were also assumed. Of this amount, 27.8%, or $433.9 million,
were in the form of highly liquid transaction accounts. Certificates of deposit and other time deposits
comprised 68.9%, or $1.08 billion, of total deposits.
At December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank were considered "well-capitalized" based on a calculation
of relevant regulatory ratios. The transaction did not significantly impact the Company or the Bank's
capital ratios, and both remain "well-capitalized" after taking into consideration the results of the
transaction.
Following are the capital ratios at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009.
