1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Southeastern Banking Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present such information for the periods and dates indicated. Such adjustments, which include transactions typically determined or settled at year-end, are normal and recurring in nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been extracted from the audited consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications, with no effect on total assets or net operating results, have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. In any periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per share. Since they were non-dilutive, 70,250 and 83,500 equivalent shares related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2.	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update requiring additional disclosures on transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy and activity within level 3 financial instruments. This update also provides clarification on classification of financial instruments and the discussion of inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarification were effective for the Company as of December 31, 2009, except for disclosures related to activity within level 3 financial instruments. The level 3 disclosures were effective the interim reporting period ending March 31, 2011. Adoption of the new disclosure requirements has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Southeastern Banking Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

In May 2011, the FASB issued additional guidance on fair value measurement. The new guidance results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments clarify the proper application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts and the fair value measurement of an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the amendments permit a reporting entity that manages financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure, rather than gross exposure, to measure the underlying financial assets and liabilities at the price that would be received to sell a net asset position or transfer a net liability position for a particular risk in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and clarify that premiums and discounts in fair value measurements relate to the unit of account, and not size, as a characteristic of an entity’s holding. Expanded disclosure must be provided about valuation processes used for level 3 instruments, including quantitative information on unobservable inputs and sensitivity of fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs; use of nonfinancial assets if that use varies from its highest and best use, and that asset is measured at fair value on the balance sheets or its fair value is based on highest and best use; and categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items not measured at fair value on the balance sheets but for which fair value must be disclosed. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement requiring more robust disclosures about the credit quality of loans and the allowance for loan losses. The additional disclosures include a rollforward of the allowance for loan losses on a disaggregated basis and more information, by type of loan, on credit quality indicators including aging and troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as well as any significant purchases and sales. Most of the new disclosure requirements were effective beginning December 31, 2010. In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update deferring the disclosure of TDR credit quality indicators until the third quarter of 2011. The new disclosure requirements have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standards update addressing differences in the ways entities have disclosed pro forma revenue and earnings in a business combination. If an entity presents comparable financial statements, the guidance requires the entity to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as if the business combination(s) occurring during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. Supplemental pro forma disclosures must also be expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination(s). The new requirements, which became effective as of January 1, 2011, have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Government and federal agency securities) are shown separately from other debt securities due to customary prepayment features which cause average lives to differ significantly from contractual maturities.

Management evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when conditions warrant. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, including the duration and magnitude of the decline in value; the financial condition of the issuer or issuers; structure of the security; and, notwithstanding classification of the portfolio as available-for-sale, the Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it’s more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery in market value. At June 30, 2011, management reviewed securities with an unrealized loss and concluded that no material individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired. Impairment charges on the Company’s holdings could become necessary in the future if the economic crisis facing the banking industry does not fully abate and various issuers’ financial condition weakens.

The Company held stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) totaling $1,070,400 at June 30, 2011. The Company carries the stock, which is included in other assets, at cost and evaluates it for impairment based on ultimate recoverability of par value. The Company evaluated its holding in FHLB stock at June 30, 2011 and believes its holdings are recoverable at par. In addition, the Company does not have operational or liquidity needs that would require a redemption of the stock in the foreseeable future and therefore determined that the stock was not other-than-temporarily impaired.

4.	LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is shown below:


	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Balance			Percent of Total			Balance			Percent of Total

Allowance for loan losses		(8,603,770	)					(9,915,559	)

Net loans	$	221,110,639					$	235,707,989

Commercial real estate loans represented approximately 62% of the total loan portfolio at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Due to continued instability of real estate values, loans in the commercial real estate portfolio may have a greater risk of uncollectibility than other loans. Additionally, because a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate in southeast Georgia and northeast Florida, the loan portfolio is particularly susceptible to changes in market conditions in those areas. Refer to Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional disclosure on loan concentrations.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the loan portfolio was disaggregated into four segments and further disaggregated into classes for certain disclosures. A portfolio segment is defined as the level in which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The segments used in the portfolio include commercial real estate; residential real estate – mortgage; other commercial, financial, agricultural; and consumer. Commercial real estate has been divided into three classes, including construction and development, owner-occupied, and non owner-occupied credits. All land and lot development loans have been included in the construction and development class, regardless of whether the underlying real estate is zoned commercial or residential. This classification of construction and development loans corresponds with definitions used by banking regulators for examination and other purposes.

Aging of past due loans is presented by segment in the next table. Balances presented are based on book balance, or recorded investment.

Internal risk-ratings, or grades, are assigned to each loan based on an analysis of the financial strength, collateral, and other credit attributes underlying each loan. Management analyzes the resulting ratings, as well as other external statistics and factors such as delinquency, to track the migration performance of the portfolio balances. The rating methodology complies with the asset classification system promulgated by the federal banking agencies. Loan grades range from one to eight, with one-graded loans having the least credit risk, as defined below:

Pass (Grades 1 -4) - Loans included in or migrating towards a “pass” grade of one to four carry the lowest risk of loss. Such loans are well-protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less selling costs, of underlying collateral.

Special Mention (Grade 5) – Loans in this category have potential weaknesses requiring additional monitoring. These loans are not adversely classified and do not currently have sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Substantially all special mention loans are performing.

Substandard (Grade 6) – These loans are inadequately supported by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or collateral pledged, if any. A distinct possibility of loss exists if the underlying deficiencies are not corrected. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all nonaccrual loans were graded substandard.

Doubtful (Grade 7) – These loans have all the weaknesses of a substandard loan with the added detriment that full collection or liquidation is highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values.

Loss (Grade 8) – These loans are deemed uncollectible and have, at best, nominal value. Maintaining these loans on the books, without establishment of specific valuation allowances, is not warranted.

Loans considered doubtful or loss are normally charged-off upon such determination and hence, no balances apply to these categories. Risk ratings of the loan portfolio are shown in the next table.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include loans placed on nonaccrual status as well as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and other accruing loans individually evaluated for impairment. All of the Company’s impaired loans have a valuation allowance. Impaired loans comprised the following at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

5.	FAIR VALUE

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and for disclosure purposes. Accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures specifies that the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best defined using quoted market prices, but in many instances, quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments may not be available. Under these circumstances, fair values are estimated using present value or other variation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the underlying assumptions, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows; accordingly, the resulting fair value estimate may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Recent fair value guidance clarifies that exit prices based on orderly transactions between market participants under current market conditions, not forced liquidations or distressed sales, should be the basis for determining fair value. If the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has declined significantly, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In this instance, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact depends on the various facts and circumstances and requires significant judgment. The resulting fair value is a reasonable point within the determined range that best indicates fair value under current conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities trade and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value:

Level 1 – Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded on an active exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving such assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on inputs other than level 1 prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs may incorporate interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, and default rates.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments whose valuation requires significant management judgment or estimation. Level 3 valuation also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Risk premiums that a market participant would require must be considered.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value is the primary basis of accounting for investment securities available-for-sale. The Company does not currently measure any other assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. When quoted market prices for identical securities are available in an active market, these securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, such as U.S. Treasury notes or exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices for identical securities are not available, then fair values are estimated using matrix models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2, include U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise securities, agency mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, and certain corporate debt obligations. Due to limited activity and less transparency regarding input factors, one corporate debt obligation was classified in level 3 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the next table.

The corporate debt obligation measured at fair value using level 3 inputs at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 comprised one trust preferred security with a cost basis of $500,000, for which there is currently no active market. Like the Company’s other corporate debt holdings, this security is also an issue of a bank/bank holding company domiciled in the southeastern United States. No transfers or activity involving other securities occurred within the level 3 category during the first six months of 2011. Should transparency in input factors diminish, additional obligations could be classified as level 3 assets in the future. No transfers were made between level 1 or 2 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the first six months of 2011.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain instruments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; in other words, these instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances – for example, when evidence of impairment exists. Such instruments include impaired loans and other real estate. Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. When management believes the uncollectibility of all or any portion of a loan is confirmed, a loss is charged against the allowance. Any necessary increase to the allowance resulting from impaired loans is recorded as a component of the provision for loan losses. During the six months of 2011, the Company recognized losses of $2,293,747 on impaired loans outstanding through the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2011, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding book balance of $42,334,490 were measured and reported net of specific allowances at a fair value of $38,526,248. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan impairment as a level 2 instrument. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is impaired beyond appraised value and no observable market price exists, the Company records the loan impairment in level 3. Given the current difficulties in obtaining comparable sales and other observable inputs due to high inventories and distressed sales prevalent in the market, particularly for certain real estate collateral, the Company classified all impaired loans in level 3 at June 30, 2011.

Other real estate is recorded at fair value upon transfer of the underlying loan to foreclosed balances. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values, or management’s estimate of collateral value. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company classifies other real estate as level 2; otherwise, other real estate is classified as level 3. Any write-down to fair value at foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses while subsequent devaluations are included in noninterest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, devaluations (or write-downs) of other real estate totaled $243,612. All foreclosed real estate balances were classified in level 3 at June 30, 2011.

Level 3 assets also include FHLB stock, which is only redeemable with the issuer at par and cannot be traded in the market; as such, no observable market data for this holding is available. The Company evaluated its holding in FHLB stock at June 30, 2011 and determined no impairment charge was necessary. Other assets are similarly evaluated under fair value accounting on a nonrecurring basis.

As disclosed on the prior page, the loss amount shown for impaired loans includes charge-offs as well as the provision allocated for these loans for the first six months of 2011. The loss amount for other real estate does not include charge-offs recognized on these credits prior to foreclosure of the underlying collateral. No transfers were made between level 1, 2, and 3 assets evaluated under fair value accounting on a nonrecurring basis. Additionally, no nonrecurring change in fair value was recognized on any liabilities during the first six months of 2011.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. For certain other financial assets and liabilities, fair value approximates carrying value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits, and overnight borrowings. The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of other financial instruments:

•

Variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk are fairly valued at their carrying amounts. For fixed rate loans, fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The Company did not use an incremental market risk and liquidity discount in deriving loan fair values as management has no present intention to sell any portion of the loan portfolio. Impaired loans are valued using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, as discussed.

•

Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities. The intangible value of long-term relationships with depositors is not considered in estimating fair values.

•

The U. S. Treasury demand note and other variable rate borrowings are fairly valued at their carrying amounts. Fair values for other borrowings, including FHLB advances with fixed rates, are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments or estimated using discounted cash flow analysis and the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar instruments.

•

The carrying amount of accrued interest and other financial assets approximates their fair values.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

Consolidated assets totaled $429,632,411 at June 30, 2011, up $1,999,354 (or 0.5%) since the end of 2010. Although total assets remained relatively constant, the Company realized a significant shift in its asset mix in the first six months of 2011. Net loans decreased $14,597,350 (or 6.2%) and cash and cash equivalents increased $12,981,349 (or 16.1%) since December 31, 2010. The Company elected to retain liquidity rather than reinvest its funds in riskier financial assets during this weakened economic environment. This shift from higher-yielding loans to lower-yielding earning assets had a detrimental impact on the Company’s net interest margin and earnings. The elevated level of nonperforming assets further hampered the Company’s profitability in the first six months of 2011, and this factor is expected to continue to create a drag on earnings through the remainder of 2011.

Total deposits increased by $1,475,636 (or 0.4%) since year end to $376,670,755 at June 30, 2011. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $2,776,910 (or 5.0%) while interest-bearing demand, savings and time deposits decreased $1,301,274 (0.4%) during the first six months of 2011. At June 30, 2011, noninterest-bearing demand deposits represented 15.4% of total deposits compared to 14.8% at December 31, 2010. Shareholders’ equity increased $160,798 (or 0.4%) during the first six months of 2011. At June 30, 2011, shareholders’ equity represented 10.5% of total assets which was consistent with the Company’s capital levels at year end. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this Analysis for details on deposits and other funding sources as well as the higher cash balances being maintained currently.

While the aggregate amount of funds invested in securities changed less than 0.01% during the first half of 2010, there was significant volume in trading activity within the portfolio during the period in Agency discount notes and short-term U.S. Treasury Bills acquired to collateralize public funds. Purchases of securities in the first six months of 2011 totaled $249,420,560 and redemptions totaled $249,340,212.

The effective repricing of redeemed securities in the low interest rate environment impacts current and future earnings results. On a tax-equivalent basis, the portfolio yielded approximately 3.49% during the first six months of 2011, down 174 basis points from the 5.23% average yield for the same period in 2010. Although not at the same pace, yields are expected to decline further during 2011 due largely to anticipated short-term investments and repricing of maturing securities in the low interest rate environment.

Approximately 70% of the carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, is supported by the U.S. Government, a U.S. Government agency or a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise at June 30, 2011. On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s rating agency lowered the long-term rating of the U.S. Government, its federal agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”) from “AAA” to “AA+”. The rating agency maintained the “AAA” rating for short-term (one year or less) obligations of the U.S. Government its federal agencies and GSEs. Despite this downgrade, management believes the credit quality of the investment portfolio remains fundamentally sound. The Company does not own any collateralized debt obligations, widely known as CDOs, secured by subprime residential mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the Company does not own any private label mortgage-backed securities. The Company held $14,863,984 residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”), both a GSE, at June 30, 2011. Residential mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are collateralized foremost by the underlying mortgages and secondly, by FNMA and FHLMC themselves. In addition, the Company held $3,001,178 in bonds issued by FNMA at June 30, 2011. Management continues to monitor the viability of both FNMA and FHLMC as going concerns: In early 2011, the U.S. Treasury again reiterated its support for FNMA and FHLMC although changes are expected in the business model going forward. Besides FNMA and FHLMC, the Company also held $21,327,688 in bonds issued by FHLB, another GSE, at June 30, 2011. Credit concern surrounding the FHLB system continues to be widespread. Nonetheless, the Company reviewed its holdings of FHLB debt securities and stock and concluded that its bond and stock holdings are recoverable at par. The Company’s ownership of FHLB stock totaled $1,070,400 at June 30, 2011. This restricted equity security is included in other assets and recorded at cost.

At June 30, 2011, the corporate bond portfolio comprised of issues of banks and bank holding companies domiciled in the southeastern United States. The $552,846 net unrealized loss on the corporate portfolio is largely reflective of the illiquidity and risk premiums reflected in the market for bank-issued securities due to pervasive capital, asset quality, and other issues which have continued to afflict the banking industry. Although a) major rating agencies have downgraded certain of these securities during the last 12 months and b) recent profitability and near-term profit forecasts by industry analysts reflect continuing pressure due to loan losses and other issues, the Company currently expects the issuers to settle the securities at par. Since year end, the net unrealized loss position in the portfolio improved $221,941, or 28.6%. During 2011, the Company sold one “B+” rated corporate debt obligation for $474,000 and recorded an $18,191 loss on the sale. In 2010, the Company sold four “B+” holdings of this same issuer and recorded a $141,088 loss on the sales. Also, in 2010, the Company recorded a $45,059 other-than-temporary impairment charge in its holdings to this same issuer, which is further discussed in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. The Company held no residual investments in obligations of this issuer at June 30, 2011.

At June 30, 2011, all holdings in the municipal bond portfolio were rated investment grade securities except for thirteen non-rated issues with fair values aggregating $3,192,136. The majority, or 85%, of the non-rated issues were based in Georgia. In analyzing non-rated municipals, management considers debt service coverage and whether the bonds support essential services such as water/sewer systems and education.

Management evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when conditions warrant. This analysis requires management to consider various factors, including the duration and magnitude of the decline in value; the financial condition of the issuer or issuers; structure of the security; and, notwithstanding classification of the portfolio as available-for-sale, the Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it’s more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery in market value. At June 30, 2011, management reviewed securities with an unrealized loss and concluded that no material individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired. Impairment charges could become necessary in the future if the economic crisis facing the banking industry does not fully abate and various issuers’ financial condition weakens.

Loans

Loans, net of unearned income, decreased $15,909,139 (or 6.5%) since the end of 2010 to $229,714,409 at June 30, 2011. The net loans-to-deposits ratio aggregated 61.0% at June 30, 2011 versus 65.5% at December 31, 2010 and 67.3% a year ago. The loans by category table below summarizes the changes within the portfolio since the end of 2010. The largest change within the portfolio is in construction and development loans, which declined $9,794,330 (or 11.3%) due primarily to foreclosures and charge-offs of delinquent loans during the first six months of 2011. These loans, which are primarily loans for the acquisition and development of residential properties, are concentrated in the Company’s coastal markets. With the exception of existing commitments, the Company is only originating new construction and development loans to customers with extraordinary equity injections, outside financial strength, or other performance metrics with low dependence on the underlying collateral.

Due to economic uncertainties within the Company’s markets, particularly in the real estate sector, and resultant concerns regarding credit opportunities, management expects loan volumes to flatten or decline further the remainder of 2011. Additionally, as discussed in the next subsection of this Analysis, management expects problem asset volumes to remain elevated given the Company’s significant real estate portfolio. Loans outstanding are presented by type in the following table.

To comply with recent regulatory guidelines, certain loans that formerly would have been classified as real estate – mortgage, are now being coded as real estate - construction. Comparable loans from prior periods have not been reclassified to reflect this change. The majority of real estate construction loans are residential in nature.

Many commercial and commercial real estate loans with floating rates have reached their contractual floors. Additionally, many recent originations and renewals have been priced at fixed rather than adjustable rates, unless floors applied. Loans with floating rates that had reached a contractual floor approximated $101,800,000 at June 30, 2011 compared to $105,800,000 at December 31, 2010 and $104,000,000 at June 30, 2010. The average yield on these particular outstanding loans, which included all loan types, was 5.64%, or 239 basis points above the Company’s prime rate of interest (3.25%), at June 30, 2011. Management continues to shorten maturity options on commercial credits as feasible, a move that should mitigate the Company’s interest sensitivity position when the prime rate adjusts upward.

Although the Company’s loan portfolio is diversified, significant portions of its loans are collateralized by real estate. At June 30, 2011, approximately 82.5% of the loan portfolio was comprised of loans with real estate as the primary collateral, including land tracts and lots. As required by policy, real estate loans are collateralized based on certain loan-to-appraised value ratios at origination. A geographic concentration in loans exists given the Company’s operations within a regional area of southeast Georgia and northeast

Florida. The Company continues to closely monitor real estate valuations in its markets and consider any implications on the allowance for loan losses and the related provision. On an aggregate basis, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximated $28,781,000 at June 30, 2011, compared to $31,685,000 at year-end 2010 and $41,698,000 at June 30, 2010. The decline in overall commitments results from the Company’s decision to reduce its exposure to higher risk areas, including acquisition and development lending, as well as customer decisions not to renew their lines. Because a substantial amount of these contracts expire without being drawn upon, total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future credit exposure or liquidity requirements.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, foreclosed real estate, and other repossessions, totaled $51,139,755 at June 30, 2011. Aggregate balances declined 2.1% since December 31, 2010 and 10.3% since June 30, 2010. As a percent of total assets, nonperforming assets totaled 11.9% at June 30, 2011 versus 12.2% at December 31, 2010 and 13.1% at June 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets materially and adversely affected the Company’s business, resources, and operating results during the first six months of 2011, and management expects continuing adverse effects until real estate markets, particularly coastal markets, improve. Construction and development loans secured by land tracts and lots remained the primary factor in the nonperforming trends. Summary information about nonperforming assets and accruing loans past due 90 days or more is provided in the following table.

Nonaccrual Loans

Nonaccrual loans increased $626,469 (or 2.2%) in the first six months of 2011. Approximately $11,437,000 of loans were placed on nonaccrual status since the end of 2010, $2,809,000 charged-off, $5,129,000 transferred out by foreclosure or repossession, $283,000 “upgraded” to performing loan status, and $2,590,000 reduced by payments or other activity.

Loans restructured in troubled debt restructurings that are on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2011 totaled $9,233,000, a 28% increase compared to $7,204,000 at December 31, 2010. The increase is due to management’s efforts to work with borrowers in an effort to resolve collectability and repayment issues.

At June 30, 2011, real estate-secured loans comprised 98.1% of total nonaccrual balances. The collateral underlying nonaccrual balances is presented in the following table.

Approximately 98.6% of the real estate collateral underlying nonaccrual balances at June 30, 2011 was located in Georgia, predominantly coastal Georgia, with the balance in Florida.

Relationships above $250,000 comprised 87.4% or $25,471,516 of nonaccrual balances at June 30, 2011. The table below presents nonaccrual loans by relationship tiers.

At June 30, 2011, the largest relationship within this group had a $4,086,000 book balance. Unless pricing and demand in the real estate markets improve, management expects other borrowers, including other borrowers with loan balances above $250,000, to also stop servicing their loans.

Management continues to evaluate collateral underlying nonaccrual loans and adjusts valuations based on appraisal and similar information available. Unfortunately, valuation estimates can change, resulting in additional charge-offs and provisioning for loan losses. Unless collected, higher nonaccrual balances also adversely affect interest income versus performing loans. Comparative details on charge-offs and the provision are provided in the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section of this Analysis.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company continues to accrue interest on $6,780,732 in troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) outstanding at June 30, 2011. TDRs comprise of loan relationships for which payment concessions were granted. Certain TDRs are on nonaccrual status due to a lack of performance or management’s concern regarding future repayment ability or performance. These TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans in this Report. Since the end of 2010, the amount of accruing TDRs outstanding decreased $5,888,498 (or 46.5%). The material changes in accruing TDRs during the first six months of 2011 include: two loans totaling approximately $4,661,000 were placed on nonaccrual status; one loan with a balance of $2,328,000 was “upgraded” out of TDR status based on performance; and three loans totaling $1,474,000 were added to the pool of TDRs. At June 30, 2011, the specific allowance allocated to the aggregate TDR balance totaled $718,628.

Foreclosed Real Estate

During the first six months of 2011, the balance of real estate acquired through foreclosure or in settlement of debts previously contracted increased $4,150,782 (or 37.6%) to $15,184,561 at June 30, 2011. Of the $15,781,066 reported as other real estate owned on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011, $596,505 is not categorized as “foreclosed real estate”. This property is under a lease-purchase agreement with a local municipality. Foreclosures, sales, and subsequent devaluations within foreclosed real estate balances totaled $5,059,948, $687,539, and $243,612, respectively, during the first six months of 2011. The following table summarizes the foreclosed real estate portfolio by real estate type.


*Foreclosed Real Estate by Type*	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
(Dollars in thousands)

Real estate:
Land tracts	$	7,405	$	5,584

Commercial buildings		1,303		439

Total foreclosed real estate	$	15,185	$	11,034

Approximately 82% of these holdings were located in Georgia with the balance in Nassau County, Florida at June 30, 2011. Within the portfolio, aggregate holdings in one established subdivision totaled $3,322,817 at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company owned six properties with an aggregate basis of $6,915,247, representing 45.4% of the total foreclosed real estate portfolio.

Although foreclosed properties continue to be marketed aggressively, when estimating their carrying value, management expects to incur carrying costs for at least one year. Any additional devaluation subsequent to foreclosure will be charged to operations. The Company’s foreclosed real estate holdings can be viewed via a link from its website at www.southeasternbank.com or directly at www.liveatthecoast.com.

Other Potential Problem Loans

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $65,340, or less than 1% of net loans, at June 30, 2011. Loans past due 30-89 days represented 1.57% of net loans at June 30, 2011, totaling $3,612,782. In aggregate, approximately 80% of these past due loans were secured by real estate.

Accruing loans classified as individually impaired under accounting guidance to creditors on impairment of loans totaled $6,340,007 at June 30, 2011, up $1,819,676 or 40.3% from the end of 2010. These loans are predominately to borrowers whose loan repayment was expected to come foremost from sales of underlying real estate collateral. Due to lagging sales and lingering distress in the real estate markets, payment of principal and interest on these loans has come from borrower reserves or other resources, constituting a change in the initial source of payment/terms of these loans. Although these loans continue to perform and management has no evidence to suggest that the borrowers might cease to perform in the future, their performance has been through other resources and the value of the underlying collateral has diminished. Management reviews all classified loans with total credit exposure of $250,000 or more on a monthly basis and evaluates underlying collateral, assuming salvage values and estimating any allowance necessary to cover projected losses at – worse case scenario – liquidation. After adjustments for collateral value shortfalls, the allowance for loan losses allocated to these eight classified credits totaled $1,412,278 at June 30, 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company continuously reviews its loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses available to absorb estimated losses inherent in the portfolio. Management prepares a comprehensive analysis of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis. This analysis is comprised of two components, specific allowances for individual loans and general allowances for pools of loans based on similar risk characteristics such as loan type, credit risk grades and delinquency status. Such evaluation considers numerous factors, including, but not limited to, net charge-off trends, internal risk ratings, loss forecasts, collateral values, geographic location, delinquency rates, nonperforming loans, underwriting practices, industry conditions, and economic trends. SEB’s Board of Directors is responsible for affirming the allowance methodology and assessing the general and specific allowance factors in relation to estimated and actual net charge-off trends.

Specific Reserves

The first component of the allowance for loan loss methodology covers the measurement of specific allowances for individual impaired loans as required by FASB ASC 310-10-35, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Specific allowances for loan losses are established for large impaired loans evaluated on an individual basis. The specific allowance established for these loans is based on a thorough analysis of the most probable source of repayment, including the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows, the loan’s estimated market value, or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Total impaired loans are disaggregated by segment and class below:


*June 30, 2011*	Recorded Investment			Unpaid Principal Balance		Related Allowance

Related allowance as a % of impaired loans		7.81	%

Recorded investment of impaired loans as a % of unpaid principal balance of impaired loans		80.0	%

The aggregate amount of impaired loans decreased $3,498,000 since the end of 2010. However, due to further weakness in real estate valuations, the related allowance on those loans increased from 7.81% at December 31, 2010 to 8.99% at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s recorded investment in impaired loans represented 80.2% of the unpaid principal balance on those loans. The Company has in effect already recognized a discount (through partial charge-offs and/or application of payments received to principal rather than interest and fees) of $10,476,000 on those impaired loans.

General Reserves

The second component of the allowance for loan loss methodology addresses all loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment. General reserves are established for loans grouped into pools based on similar characteristics. In this process, general reserve factors are established based on an analysis of historical charge-off experience and expected loss-given-default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. At June 30, 2011, management used a trailing nine-quarter historical average loss rate for each pool of loans. At December 31, 2010, management used a trailing six-quarter historical average loss rate for each pool of loans. At December 31, 2009, management used a trailing four-quarter historical average loss rate for each pool of loans. The historical period has been gradually expanded to continue to include loss rates incurred early in the cycle. Management believes that excluding those losses

would not provide an accurate estimate that best reflects the inherent risk in the loan portfolio. Other adjustments may be made to the historical loss rates for the pools after an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. These influences typically include recent loss experience in specific portfolio segments, trends in loan quality, changes in market focus, and concentrations of credit. This element necessarily requires a high degree of managerial judgment to anticipate the impact that economic trends, legislative or governmental actions, or other unique market and/or portfolio issues will have on credit losses.

The following table summarizes the historical loss rates and adjustments made for qualitative/ environmental factors used in assessing the general reserves for all loans not individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.


	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010

Other		1.17	%		0.06	%		1.44	%		0.06	%

Unallocated allowances relate to inherent losses that are not included elsewhere in the allowance. The qualitative factors associated with unallocated allowances include the inherent imprecision in models and lagging or incomplete data. Because of their subjective nature, these risk factors are carefully reviewed by management and revised as conditions indicate.

Deterioration in the real estate portfolio, particularly land acquisition and development loans, has been the overriding factor in the provisions made to the allowance for loan losses since 2008. Management expects additional provisions to be made to the allowance for loan losses in the second half of 2011 as updated appraisals are obtained on coastal real estate collateral. Net charge-offs represented 2.45% of average loans (annualized) for the first six months of 2011, a 178 basis point decrease from 4.23% for the same period in 2010. A summary of recent activity in the allowance for loan losses is presented in the following table.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company recorded a net loss of $199,118 for the first six months of 2011 compared to a net loss of $3,224,419 during the same period in 2010. On a per share basis, the year-to-date loss totaled $0.06 at June 30, 2011, a $0.97 per share improvement from the $1.03 net loss per share at June 30, 2010. Major variances in the Company’s results of operations for the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 included:

•

$390,068 reduction in net interest income;

•

$4,560,000 decline in the provision for loan losses;

•

$87,837 decrease in noninterest income;

•

$1,206,692 decrease in noninterest expenses; and

•

Nonrecognition of income tax benefits for both regulatory and financial accounting purposes in 2011 compared to a $2,263,486 benefit recognized in the first six months of 2010.

Variations in net interest income and noninterest income and expenses are further discussed in the following subsections of this Analysis; the variation in the provision for loan losses is separately discussed within the Financial Condition section.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $390,068 (or 6.0%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. Interest income declined $1,084,662 (or 12.1%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010 due to a shift in earning assets from higher-yielding loans to lower-yielding cash and cash equivalents, an increase in nonaccrual loans, and the prolonged low interest rate environment. The decrease in interest income was offset in part by a $694,594 (or 27.9%) decrease in interest expense as rates paid on deposit accounts continued to re-price downward. Reductions in the cost of funds in the current economic cycle have not kept pace with declines in asset yields since liquidity constraints have compelled other banks in our markets to rely more heavily on deposits, particularly time certificates, for funding; this reliance has kept deposit rates higher than national averages. In addition, new competitor banks in several of our markets have advertised higher deposit rates attempting to increase their market share.

Net interest income and resultant margins and spreads are projected to remain below 2010 levels for the remainder of 2011 due to: a) yield reductions on a year-over-year basis, due largely to higher cash equivalent balances and shortened maturities on investment securities; b) overall lower average balances on loans; and c) increases in nonperforming assets, particularly nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate, also on an average basis.

The net interest margin approximated 3.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus 3.49% during the same period in 2010. The interest rate spread decreased 13 basis points to 3.05% compared to 3.18% in 2010. The average yield on earning assets declined 62 basis points to 4.16% in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010 while the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased 48 basis points to 1.11% in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. Comparative details about average balances, income/expense, and average yields earned and rates paid on interest-earning assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are provided in the following table.

Net change in net interest income	$	(629	)	$	188		$	(441	)

Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Thus, changes that are not solely due to volume have been consistently attributed to rate.

Includes loan fees. See the average balances table on the previous page for more details.

Interest income on tax-exempt loans and securities is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis, using a federal income tax rate of 34%. No adjustments have been made for any state tax benefits or the nondeductible portion of interest expense.

⁴

Includes interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and FHLB stock.

⁵

Includes NOW and money market accounts.

The decline in interest income is due primarily to declines in the volume of loans outstanding and the yield on taxable investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010. The decline in interest expense is due primarily to declines in rates paid on deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is discussed in detail with the allowance for loan losses in the “Financial Condition” section of the Analysis.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income declined $87,837 (or 4.6%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. Excluding losses on sales of investment securities, noninterest income decreased $213,084 (or 10.5%). A summary of the changes in noninterest income by category follows:

For the first six months of 2011, return check and stop payment fee income declined $196,242 (or 21.3%) compared to 2010. Lower volume of overdraft fees, as well as regulatory changes impacting the collection of these fees, were the main factors in the year-to-date decline. These regulatory changes, which stem largely from amendments to Federal Reserve Regulation E, became effective July 2010; as a result of the Regulation E amendment, this income category will continue to decline in 2011 when compared to comparable periods in 2010.

Fee income for credit life insurance sales decreased $15,755 (or 30.4%) in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010 due to a decline in new consumer loan volume in 2011.

As discussed in the “Financial Condition” section of this Analysis, the Company recognized a net loss of $18,191 on the sale of one corporate bond in the first quarter of 2011, a $125,217 (or 87.3%) decrease compared to losses recognized on investment activities during the same period in 2010.

Fee income on mortgage originations declined $29,855 (or 81.6%) in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to a decline in volume of mortgage loan originations. In 2010, the Company either eliminated or reassigned its mortgage origination personnel due to insufficient activity to support the department.

For the first six months of 2011, fees earned on bank card and credit card activity increased $42,275 (or 15.5%) due to an increase in volume of card transactions and a change in vendors that allowed the Company to earn more per card transaction than in prior years. However, due to recent regulatory restrictions on card transaction fees enacted by the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company expects to see a decline in card fee income going forward.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $1,206,692 (or 15.6%) in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Excluding other operational losses, other than temporary impairment losses on securities, gains, losses and write-downs on other real estate owned, and gains and losses on other assets, noninterest expense decreased $440,302 (or 6.6%) from $6,211,670 in the first six months of 2011 compared to $6,651,972 for the same period in 2010 as management has focused its efforts on cost savings initiatives and operational efficiencies. A summary of the changes in noninterest expense by category follows:

Combined, salaries and employee benefits declined $255,528 (or 7.1%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. The decrease is due in part to a 7.3% decrease in the number of employees from 151 at June 30, 2010 to 140 at June 30, 2011. The Company has been diligent in managing salaries and employee benefits costs.

Combined, net occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses declined $90,653 (or 6.7%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. The Company realized costs savings related to a data line communications upgrade and a decline in depreciation/amortization expense on fully-depreciated/amortized equipment and software. In July 2011, the Company replaced its AS/400 equipment and software, while its other depreciated assets remain in good working condition and have not been replaced as management curtails spending on high dollar items.

Expense for FDIC insurance decreased $83,753 (or 19.0%) during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. The decrease is due to a one-time accounting adjustment to the amortization of the Company’s prepaid FDIC insurance assessment. The change in amortization was made to reflect the FDIC’s changes made to the assessment base from total deposits to total assets.

As discussed in the “Financial Condition” section of this Analysis, the Company recognized an other than temporary impairment loss of $45,059 on a corporate bond in the first six months of 2010. The Company sold the residual balance of the bond in 2011.

Write-downs on other real estate owned decreased $665,957 (or 73.2%) in the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010. These write-downs correlate with receipt of updated appraisals of foreclosed property held for sale. Management expects further write-downs to occur in 2011 as updated appraisals are obtained. As further discussed in the “Financial Condition” section of this Analysis, real estate values in coastal Georgia and northeast Florida remain depressed. Management anticipates that losses and other costs associated with foreclosed real estate will remain elevated unless the Company’s coastal real estate markets stabilize and demand for properties improves.

Income Taxes

A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the underlying tax benefits may not be realizable. All sources of taxable income available to utilize the deferred tax assets are considered in making this assessment, including taxable income in carryback years, future reversals of existing temporary differences, any tax planning strategies, and future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards). The predictability of future taxable income is the most subjective of these four sources. The presence of cumulative losses in recent years, or a significant loss in a single year, is considered significant negative evidence, rendering reliance on future taxable income to fully realize a deferred tax asset difficult. Judgment is a critical element in making this assessment.

During 2010, the Company sustained a significant operating loss due predominantly to provisions and other charges on nonperforming assets. The positive evidence supporting future earnings as a source of utilizing the deferred tax assets was insufficient to overcome the negative evidence due to the sheer size of the loss to be absorbed. As a result, the Company recorded a $4,777,526 valuation allowance against the balance of its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010.

Until the Company returns to a period of sustained profitability, the Company will not record income tax expense or benefits or deferred tax assets or liabilities. Once the Company returns to sustained profitability, management expects to be able to reverse the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes the Company has the funding capacity, from operating activities or otherwise, to meet its financial commitments over the next 12 months. Liquidity is managed to ensure sufficient cash flow to satisfy demands for credit, deposit withdrawals, and other corporate needs. Liquidity is vital to any financial institution and its importance cannot be overstated, particularly during periods of economic crisis. Overall liquidity position is determined by the types of assets, and their duration, on the balance sheet; encumbrances; borrowing capacity from customer deposits or other sources; and retained earnings. In short, assets, predominantly loans and investment securities, are funded by customer deposits, borrowed funds, and retained earnings. During the last few years, in an effort to improve its on-balance sheet liquidity, the Company has increased its most liquid assets, namely cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which variously comprise cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, increased $12,981,349 (or 16.1%) at June 30, 2011 compared to the end of 2010. Cash and cash equivalents represented 21.8% of total assets at June 30, 2011 versus 18.9% at December 31, 2010.

Cash flows from the loan and securities portfolios represent important components of the Company’s overall liquidity position. At June 30, 2011, loans (excluding nonaccrual loans) and investment securities with carrying values of approximately $125,289,000 were scheduled to mature in one year or less. Of course, loans are subject to refinancing prior to maturity or renewal at maturity and securities may be pledged to secure public funds and other borrowing arrangements. These characteristics may have an impact on the actual cash flows from the loan and securities portfolios. At June 30, 2011, approximately $67,116,000 (or 90%) of the Company’s securities portfolio was pledged. However, when adjusted for overpledging due to cyclical variations in public funds and contingency pledging to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, approximately $12,182,000 of the securities pledged was unencumbered at June 30, 2011. The entities to which the excess collateral is pledged have no legal claim on such collateral unless amounts are owed under other obligations.

The Company has long benefited from a relatively large, stable deposit base. Customer-based core deposits (total deposits less time deposits with balances of $100,000 or more), traditionally the Company’s largest and most cost-effective source of funding, comprised 83% of total deposits at June 30, 2011. The Company does not currently accept brokered deposits or other out-of-market deposits. Alternative sources of funding have traditionally encompassed U.S. Treasury demand notes, Federal Reserve discount window borrowings, federal funds purchased, and FHLB advances. At June 30, 2011, these alternative sources of funding totaled $5,889,547.

The Company has also historically generated net cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $2,400,854 compared to $2,722,785 for the same period in 2010. The consolidated statements of cash flows within this Form 10-Q provide a summary of cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing, and financing activities.

In the third quarter of 2009, the FDIC announced a plan to restore its Deposit Insurance Fund balances depleted as a result of recent bank failures. The restoration plan required all FDIC-insured banks to prepay their risk-based assessments for the years 2010, 2011, and 2012. The assessments, usually due quarterly, were instead estimated for the three future years and paid prior to December 31, 2009. The Company paid the required assessment on December 29, 2009 and concurrently recorded a prepaid asset within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. This prepaid asset totaled $802,000 at June 30, 2011. Any differences between the prepaid and actual amounts due each quarter will be funded using existing available liquidity.

Deposits

The distribution of total deposits at June 30, 2011 and certain comparable quarter-end dates is summarized in the following table.

Total deposits increased approximately $1,476,000 (0.4%) since the end of 2010. During the period, noninterest-bearing deposits increased approximately $2,778,000 (or 5.0%) while interest-bearing deposits decreased approximately $1,302,000 (or 0.4%). Within interest-bearing deposits, time certificate balances declined approximately $8,831,000 (or 6.4%) while NOW, money market, and savings balances grew approximately $7,529,000 (or 4.1%). No single factor precipitated the 5.0% increase in noninterest-bearing deposits since year-end as these balances tend to be somewhat cyclical. However, noninterest-bearing deposits will continue to be protected by unlimited FDIC deposit insurance until December 31, 2012 under provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and that insurance protection may have been a factor in the increase in these balances.

Approximately 82% of total deposits at June 30, 2011 were based in the Company’s 13 Georgia branches and the remaining 18% were from the three Florida branches. Deposits with one local governmental entity amounted to approximately $16,500,000 (or 4.4%) and $24,402,000 (or 6.5%) of the Company’s total deposits at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. In total, public funds comprised approximately 18% of the deposit base at June 30, 2011 and 18% at December 31, 2010.

As shown in the following table, approximately 93.8% of time deposits at June 30, 2011 were scheduled to mature within the next twelve months.

FHLB Advances

Advances outstanding with the FHLB totaled $5,000,000 at June 30, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010. The advances outstanding included a $2,500,000 fixed rate advance due July 30, 2012 with an effective rate of 2.35% and another $2,500,000 fixed rate advance due July 29, 2013 with an effective rate of 2.89%. At June 30, 2011, the two advances were collateralized by cash balances held at the FHLB. Additional funding is not currently available from the FHLB.

Other Commitments

The Company had no material plans or commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2011.

Capital Adequacy

Federal banking regulators have established certain capital adequacy standards required to be maintained by banks and bank holding companies. These regulations define capital as either Tier 1 (primarily realized shareholders’ equity) or Tier 2 (for the Company, a portion of the allowance for loan losses). The Company and SEB are subject to a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets) of 4%, total capital ratio (Tier 1 plus Tier 2 to risk-weighted assets) of 8%, and Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 to average quarterly assets) of 4%. To be considered a “well-capitalized” institution, the Tier 1 capital, total capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios must equal or exceed 6%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. Banks and bank holding companies are prohibited from including unrealized gains and losses on debt securities in the calculation of risk-based capital but are permitted to include up to 45 percent of net unrealized pre-tax holding gains on equity securities in Tier 2 capital. The Company did not have any unrealized gains on equity securities includible in the risk-based capital calculations for any of the periods presented. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s Tier 1, total capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios totaled 16.54%, 17.81%, and 10.36%. On a stand-alone basis, SEB’s same ratios totaled 16.10%, 17.38%, and 10.08%. The Company is committed to maintaining its well-capitalized status and stress tests its capital position on a regular basis to gauge its ability to withstand deterioration in asset quality and operating performance.

The consolidated regulatory capital ratios for the most recent periods are presented in the following table.

The Company’s tier 1 common equity ratio is the same as its tier 1 capital ratio.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s book value per share was $14.37, a $0.05 per share increase since the end of 2010. To preserve capital, no dividends were declared or paid in the first half of 2011, a $0.13 per share decline from the same period in 2010. The Company has suspended future dividend payments and treasury stock purchases until operating performance improves and credit losses abate. Regulatory approval will be required prior to payment of future dividends or treasury stock purchases.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements and the related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that its determination of the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of assets affect its most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements provided in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since December 31, 2010.

The following is a brief description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates involving significant management valuation judgment. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors including, but not limited to, reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on segments of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experiences and the level of classified and nonperforming loans.

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is based on either the fair value of the underlying collateral, the present value of the future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, or the estimated market value of the loan. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses assumptions (e.g., discount rate) and methodologies (e.g., comparison to the recent selling price of similar assets) consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

Management’s assessment is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Changes in various internal and external environmental factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of individual borrowers, economic conditions, historical loss experience, or the condition of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may affect the required level of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses. Should these environmental factors change; a different amount may be reported for the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses.

Estimates of Fair Value

The estimation of fair value is significant to a number of the Company’s assets, including, but not limited to, investment securities, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets. These are all recorded at either fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors. Circumstances that could cause estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities to change include a change in prepayment speeds, discount rates or market interest rates. Management’s estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Fair values for most investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on the quoted prices of similar instruments. The fair values of other real estate owned are typically determined based on appraisals by third parties, less estimated costs to sell.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A summary of recent pronouncements and the related impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, are discussed in Note 2. In management’s opinion, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that have had or will have had a material impact on our earnings or financial position as of or for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The normal course of business activity exposes the Company to interest rate risk. Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market value of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows, and net interest income. The Asset/Liability Committee periodically reviews the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk and formulates strategy based on acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The overall objective of this process is to optimize the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and net interest income, while limiting volatility to net interest income from changes in interest rates.

The Company uses simulation modeling to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet. Contractual maturity and repricing characteristics of loans are incorporated into the model, as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data, and call options within the investment portfolio. Non-maturity deposit accounts are modeled based on past experience. Simulation results quantify interest rate risks under various interest rate scenarios over a twelve-month period. Based on the latest analysis, the Company continues to be asset sensitive and exposed to declining earnings if interest rates fall. The simulation model estimates changes in net interest income based on various gradual and shocked/instantaneous rate change scenarios, as shown in the table below. The model projects that the Company’s earnings will increase as rates rise and decrease if rates drop. The base federal funds rate used in the model assumes the current targeted 0.00% - 0.25% rate range.


	Effect on Net Interest Income
*Market Rate Change*	Gradual			Immediate Shock
+300 basis points		5.77	%		21.90	%
+200 basis points		2.46	%		10.94	%
+100 basis points		0.85	%		3.79	%
-100 basis points		(0.30	)%		(3.59	)%

The Company’s asset sensitivity has increased since year-end 2010 due largely to growth in interest-bearing balances in other banks; the increase in these balances is further discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this Report.

Limitations inherent with simulation modeling include: a) in a down rate environment, competitive and other factors constrain timing of parallel rate reductions on various deposit products whereas loans tied to Prime and other variable indexes reprice instantaneously and securities with call or other prepayment features are likely to be redeemed prior to stated maturity and replaced at lower rates (lag effect); and b) potential changes in balance sheet mix, for example, unscheduled pay-offs of large commercial loans and significant increases in nonaccrual loans, are oftentimes difficult to forecast.

The Company has not in the past, but may in the future, utilize interest rate swaps, financial options, financial futures contracts, or other rate protection instruments to reduce interest rate and market risks.

Impact of Inflation

The effects of inflation on the local economy and the Company’s operating results have been relatively modest the last several years. Because substantially all the Company’s assets and liabilities, including cash, securities, loans, and deposits, are monetary in nature, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates. As discussed in the preceding section, the Company attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest sensitive assets and liabilities.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

A review and evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that review and evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
