ITEM 1. Business

This report contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this report.

Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Except as required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report.

Manasota Group, Inc., f/k/a Horizon Bancorporation, Inc. (hereinafter, the "Company," "we" or the "Registrant"), was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 27, 1998, for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company owning all of the outstanding capital stock of Horizon Bank, a commercial bank chartered under the laws of Florida and a member of the Federal Reserve System(the "Bank").

The Bank was capitalized by means of a $5.6 million initial public offering of its common stock, $0.1 par value (the "Common Stock") at $5.50 per share, which was completed in October 1999, allowing the Bank to open for business on October 25, 1999. Subsequently, in order to meet the Bank's capital needs, the Company sold additional shares of Common Stock in a rights offering (in 2003), two private placements (in 1999 and 2003) and through the exercise of warrants issued in the rights offering, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.65 million.

In order to facilitate a private placement of preferred stock, the proceeds of which were designed to augment the capital of the Bank, we authorized, on October 22, 2009, the issuance of 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, having a $1,000 liquidation preference, by filing the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation containing the appropriate designation of such series of stock. The private placement was not successful and no shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were sold. On June 11, 2011, we filed the Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation effecting the cancellation of this designation and change in the Company's name from Horizon Bancorporation, Inc. to Manasota Group, Inc.

On May 18, 2004, the Company registered, by filing an SEC Form 8A, the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Subsequently, in November 2004, the Common Stock began trading on the OTCBB under the symbol "HZNB".

During October 25, 1999 through September 10, 2010, the Company acted as a one-bank holding company with respect to the Bank. On September 10, 2010, when, due to significant losses incurred by the Bank during 2008-2010, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”) declared the Bank to be "imminently insolvent." The Bank was closed, with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") being appointed as receiver therefor, and sold to Bank of the Ozarks.

After a series of negotiations, we entered into, on July 11, 2011, a settlement agreement with the FDIC, pursuant to which we paid the FDIC the net amount $511,000 in exchange for full ownership of the building previously occupied by the Bank and now occupied by Bank of the Ozarks (the "Building"). Simultaneously, we entered into a lease with Bank of the Ozarks, which commenced retroactively to September 11, 2010 and expires on September 10, 2013. The building is subject to a mortgage held by 1st Manatee Bank, with a maturity date of August 31, 2013.

-1-

In summary, since September 11, 2010, our business has consisted of owning, maintaining and holding for rent the approximately 7,000 square foot building, leased to a single tenant. Accordingly, our sole source of income has consisted of rent under such lease and our net income has consisted of the net margin between such revenue and the sum of the debt service with respect to the mortgage and operating expenses.

None of our officers have been receiving any compensation since September 10, 2010. Moreover, beginning after filing the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2011, particularly with the advent of the requirement that our periodic reports be accompanied by Interactive Data Files pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T, the total fees payable to the accountants, legal counsel and contractors engaged to convert the reports into formats suitable for filing on EDGAR have increased to a level which exceeded our net margin. Furthermore, the Common Stock continued to trade very thinly and on a sporadic basis. Consequently, on or about December 31, 2011, the Board of Directors made the decision to temporarily suspend the Company's filing of periodic reports under the Exchange Act beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

On April 26, 2013, we received a letter from the Office of Enforcement Liaison in the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance. The letter informs the Company that if we do not take the necessary steps to return the Company into compliance with its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act within the next fifteen days, the SEC may commence administrative proceedings to revoke our registration under the Exchange Act and impose a trading suspension with respect to the Common Stock. On May 6, 2013, we filed a letter with the SEC setting forth a plan for returning into such compliance by filing this Report on or before July 31, 2013 and all other delinquent periodic reports on or before July 31, 2013, and requesting that no such administrative proceedings or trading suspension be commenced at this time. We have since filed the Annual Report on form 10-K for fiscal 2011 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three fiscal quarters of 2012.

ITEM 2. Properties

The Company owns an one-story building located at 900 53rd Avenue East, in Bradenton (the “Building”). The Building consists of approximately 7,000 square feet of interior space, four interior teller windows, four exterior drive-through teller stations and 36 parking spaces. The interior includes executive offices, work stations for support staff and safe deposit box storage areas. The total cost of the Building, including the costs of construction, landscaping, and furniture and equipment, was approximately $1.96 million, and the Company spent another approximately $40,000 to furnish certain additional space with furniture and equipment. Subsequently all furniture and equipment was taken into receivership by the FDIC. The Building is leased to Bank of the Ozarks under a net lease at $24.00 per square foot, expiring on September 10, 2013 (the "Building Lease"). In 2012, we recorded net rent of $174,720 with respect to the Building.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to, nor is any of its property the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding that is not routine litigation that is incidental to its business, or any other material legal proceeding.

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of the Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of June 30, 2013, 1,809,912 shares of the Common Stock were issued, and 1,770,139 were outstanding and held by approximately 580 holders of record. No shares of preferred stock were then issued and outstanding.

Since November 2004, the Common Stock has been trading on the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol "HZNB". The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid information for the four quarters of 2012, as reported by Bloomberg.com:

ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

A. Overview

As previously stated, during 2012 and as of the filing date of this Report, our business has consisted of owning, maintaining and leasing the Building to Bank of the Ozarks. The Building Lease expires on September 10, 2013 and the first lien mortgage secured by the Building (the "Building Note") matures on August 31, 2013. As of the filing date of this Report, we have been informed that the Bank of the Ozarks does not intend to renew the lease. Contemporaneously, we have also received assurances from the holder of the Building Note that it is the holder's intention to renew the Building Note for a period of time sufficient for us to obtain a new tenant or sell the Building. We have also been informed that a financial institution intends to (i) become a tenant in the Building commencing at the end of the lease with Bank of the Ozarks and (ii) include in the lease an option to purchase the Building at any time after the first twelve months of its lease. Based on preliminary discussions, the net rent payable under the intended lease would exceed the debt service under the renewed Building Note.

-3-

Management is also considering using the Company's potential status as a fully reporting public company to engage in a transaction in which a carefully selected privately held operating company would merge into the Company, i.e. a reverse merger. As a result of such a merger, whether or not the Building would in the meantime been sold, voting control of the Company would be held by the shareholders of the operating company. As stated elsewhere in this Report, subject to forbearance by the SEC, this Report and the filing by us of the other delinquent reports under the Exchange Act are designed to restore the Company's fully reporting status so that it can act as a viable merger candidate.

While we believe that the intended renewal of the Building Note and new lease has a high likelihood of resulting in a completed transaction, in the absence of definitive binding documents, as of the filing date of this Report, there is no complete assurance that on September 10, 2013, the Building will be leased and remain subject to a mortgage with a maturity date sufficiently in the future. There is no assurance that we will be able to restore our status as a fully reporting public company and, even if we do, that we will be able to find the private operating company whose business has sufficient upside potential and where the terms and conditions of a merger with such company are in the best interests of our shareholders.

B. Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

Revenues

The revenues in 2012 of $174,720 consisted of rental income under the Building Lease and a small sales tax commission of $284. By comparison, the revenues in 2011 of $273,266 consisted of rental income under the Building Lease of $228,106, one non-recurring item, $44,948 in net gain realized on the sale of land and sales tax commission of $212. The increased rental income in 2011 was due to the realization of catch up rents owed from 2010 since the lease agreement did not become effective until 2011.

Costs and Expenses

We paid $83,922 in debt service with respect to the Building Note in 2012, compared to $61,417 in 2011. The difference is attributable to a change in the interest rate under the Building Note from 4.50% to 5.50%. The decrease in general administrative expenses from $105,183 in 2011 to $55,642 in 2012 was attributable mainly to legal expenses incurred in reaching the settlement with the FDIC in July 2011 and obtaining the condemnation proceeds. The $651,352 settlement expense incurred in 2011 was also a non-recurring item.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficiency (total current liabilities — which included $1,485,193 of the principal of the Building Note — in excess of total current assets) of $1,494,758, most of such deficit being the Building Note coming due in August of 2013. We realized net income of $35,440 in 2012, compared to a net loss of $544,686 in 2011. This loss was attributable to the FDIC settlement in July of 2011.

As stated above, we believe with a high degree of certainty that the Building Note will be renewed by the current holder before its August 10, 2013 maturity. By the same token, we believe that the a new tenant will enter into a lease with respect to space in the Building on the termination of the current lease with Bank of the Ozarks and that the net rent payable under the lease would exceed the debt service with respect to the renewed Building Note, generating a positive spread. However, as of the filing date of this Report, we are not certain as to the magnitude of this positive spread and any increase in operating expenses over current levels might be greater than such positive spread. Under such circumstances, we would be required to obtain additional liquidity, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us.

-4-

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the filing date of this Report, we have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are based on our management’s judgment and available information and, consequently, actual results could be different from these estimates.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented updates to current accounting literature or application to specific industries, and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Not applicable

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 are included as a separate section of this Report beginning on page F-i.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

As previously reported, on December 12, 2012, our Audit and Compliance Committee replaced Francis & Co., CPA's as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and appointed Pender Newkirk, LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to conduct the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and for the periods thereafter. Effective January 1, 2013, Pender Newkirk, LLP merged into Warren Averett, LLC.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the last quarter of 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Acting Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, because of lack of segregation of duties attributable to limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2012.

-5-

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management conducted, during the last quarter of 2012, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the COSO framework criteria.

Management has identified the major control deficiencies as being lack of segregation of duties and the small size of our accounting staff. These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies together constitute a material weakness.

To mitigate these control deficiencies, which are attributable to our current limited resources, we do now and will continue to rely heavily on direct management oversight, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As our resources grow, e.g. upon the sale of the Building, we expect to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in this Report were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

-6-

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

None

Additional Information about our Board and its Committees

We continue to monitor the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding “independent” directors. All directors, except for Charles S. Conoley, are “independent” as defined in the listing standards of NASDAQ Global Market.

During 2012, all of our directors attended at least 75% of all meetings during the periods for which they served on our board, and all of the meetings held by committees of the board on which they serve. The board of directors has a standing Audit and Compliance Committee but no standing compensation committee or nominations and governance committee. The Charter for the Audit and Compliance Committee was filed with the SEC on May 13, 2003.

-8-

As of December 31, 2012, the Audit and Compliance Committee consisted of Bruce E. Shackleford, who served as the Chairman, Michael S. Glasgow and Clarence R. Urban. The Audit and Compliance Committee’s duties, which are specified in its Charter, include, but are not limited to:

	⋅	reviewing and discussing with management and the independent accountants our annual and quarterly financial statements,

	⋅	directly appointing, compensating, retaining, and overseeing the work of the independent auditor,

	⋅	approving, in advance, the provision by the independent auditor of all audit and permissible non-audit services,

	⋅	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submissions by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters,

	⋅	the right to engage and obtain assistance from outside legal and other advisors as the audit committee deems necessary to carry out its duties,

We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics without charge to any shareholder who makes a written request for a copy.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Rules adopted by the SEC under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, require our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our equity securities, to file reports of their ownership, and changes in ownership, of such securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 or 5, as appropriate. Such persons are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a).

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year, and any written representations provided to us, we believe that all of the officers, directors, and owners of more than ten percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock did comply with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act for the year ended December 31, 2012.

* Information relating to beneficial ownership of the Common Stock is based upon "beneficial ownership" concepts set forth in rules of the SEC under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under such rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power," which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no beneficial interest. For instance, beneficial ownership includes spouses, minor children and other relatives residing in the same household, and trusts, partnerships, corporations or deferred compensation plans which are affiliated with the principal.

(1) The percentages are based on 1,770,139 shares of Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 2013, plus shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the beneficial owner within 60 days of June 30, 2013, by exercise of options and/or warrants.

-11-

(2) Includes 3,500 shares held as custodian for Max Conoley and 3,200 shares held as custodian for Alexandra Conoley, as to which Mr. Conoley disclaims beneficial ownership. Also includes 14,300 shares owned jointly with Mr. Conoley's wife.

(3) All of Mr. Scherer's shares except for 200 are held jointly with his wife.

Share Ownership of Directors and Executive Officer

The following chart shows the number of shares of the Common Stock that each executive officer, director and nominee for director of the Company beneficially owns, and the total shares of the Common Stock that such persons own as a group:

The percentage total differs from the sums of the individual percentages due to the differing denominators with respect to each calculation.

(3) Includes 1,825 shares held as custodian for Savannah Glasgow as to which Mr. Glasgow disclaims beneficial ownership and 500 shares held as custodian for Marina Glasgow as to which Mr. Glasgow disclaims beneficial ownership. Also includes the right to acquire 1,500 shares pursuant to currently exercisable options.

(4) Includes 33,782 shares held jointly with his wife. Also includes 500 shares held as custodian for Cari Beth Kirkland, and 900 shares held as custodian for Chloe Fay Kirkland, and an equal number held for each by his wife as custodian, as to all of which Dr. Kirkland disclaims beneficial ownership. Also includes the right to acquire 1,361 shares pursuant to currently exercisable options.

(5) Held by Triple S Farms Profit Sharing for the benefit of Mr. Shackelford. Also includes the right to acquire 1,500 shares pursuant to currently exercisable options.

(6) Also includes the right to acquire 1,500 shares pursuant to currently exercisable options.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.

Policy for Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit and Compliance Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent auditor is permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. As permitted by the applicable regulations, the Audit and Compliance Committee’s policy utilizes a combination of specific pre-approval on a case-by-case basis of individual engagements of the independent auditor and general pre-approval of certain categories of engagements up to predetermined dollar thresholds that are reviewed annually by the Audit and Compliance Committee. Specific pre-approval is mandatory for the annual financial statement audit engagement, among others.

The pre-approval policy was implemented effective as of September 2004. All engagements of the independent auditor to perform any audit services and non-audit services since that date have been pre-approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The policy has not been waived in any instance. All engagements of the independent auditor to perform any audit services and non-audit services prior to the date the pre-approval policy was implemented were approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee in accordance its normal functions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Manasota Group, Inc.
(f/k/a Horizon Bancorporation, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets as of Manasota Group, Inc. (f/k/a Horizon Bancorporation, Inc.) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity(deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Manasota Group, Inc. (f/k/a Horizon Bancorporation, Inc.)’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manasota Group, Inc. (f/k/a Horizon Bancorporation, Inc.) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

MANASOTA GROUP, Inc. f/k/a HORIZON BANCORPOTION, Inc, Bradenton, Florida (the "Company") was a one-bank holding company with respect to Horizon Bank, Bradenton, Florida (the "Bank"). The Company commenced banking operations on October 25, 1999 when the Bank opened for business. On September 10, 2010, the Company ceased to be a bank holding company when the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”) closed the Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) was appointed as receiver. The FDIC sold the Bank to the Bank of the Ozarks. The Bank was primarily engaged in the business of obtaining deposits and providing commercial, consumer, and real estate loans to the general public. Bank deposits were each insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC subject to certain limitations. As of the date of this Report, the Company’s sole asset is the building located at 900 53^rd Ave E, Bradenton, FL. The building is being leased to Bank of the Ozarks under a 3-year lease expiring on September 10, 2013.

The Company is authorized to issue up to 25.0 million shares of its $.01 par value per share common stock. Each share is entitled to one vote and shareholders have no preemptive or conversion rights. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 there were 1,809,912 shares issued and 1,770,139 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company held 39,773 shares of treasury stock. Additionally, the Company is authorized to issue up to 1.0 million shares of its $.01 par value per share preferred stock, which may be designated by the Company's Board, without further action by the shareholders, for any proper corporate purpose with preferences, voting powers, conversion rights, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of shareholders of common stock. Effective October 22, 2009, the Company’s Board did designate, by amending the Articles of Incorporation, the Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of 5,000 shares with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. On June 11, 2011, the Articles of Incorporation were further amended eliminating the Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no shares of the Company's preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Uses of Estimates. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that 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 significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk. Cash is maintained at a major financial institution and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. All of the Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances were fully insured at December 31, 2012 and 2011 due to a temporary federal program in effect from December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2012. Under the program, there is no limit to the amount of insurance for eligible accounts. Beginning 2013, insurance coverage will revert to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and the Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances may again exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not have any interest-bearing accounts at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

Property.The Company’s property consists of a building and land and are stated at cost. Generally, the straight-line method is used in computing depreciation over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 40 years. Expenditures which significantly increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the current earnings.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as property and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when management’s estimate of fair value, through outside consultation or internal assessment of value is less than its carrying amount. There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 related to these long-lived assets.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company is no longer subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for years prior to 2008. The company has filed its federal income tax returns through the year 2010.

Sales Taxes. Amounts collected on behalf of governmental authorities for sales taxes and other similar taxes are reported on a net basis.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes its rental revenues based on the terms on its signed lease with tenant on a straight-line basis.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise of stock options. This also assumes that only options with an exercise price below the existing market price will be exercised. In computing net income per share, the Company uses the treasury stock method.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2012 and 2011

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2012, based upon the levels of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some of these deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $243,996 has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has federal and state tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $459,000 and $2,733,000, respectively. The federal tax loss carryforward will expire beginning in 2031, unless previously utilized. The state tax loss carryforward will expire beginning in 2029, unless previously utilized.

Note 8 – FDIC Settlement

As described in Note 1, the Company ceased to be a bank holding company when the FDIC was appointed as receiver for Horizon Bank. The FDIC asserted that, based upon the books and records of Horizon Bank maintained at that time, equitable title and beneficial ownership of the building and its property lawfully resided with Horizon Bank, and therefore, with the receiver. In order to retain possession of the building and its property, in July 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the FDIC for $1,800,000 which represented the fair value of the building at the time. This settlement amount was then offset against the mortgage the Company had for the building, back rent owed from the bank that is using the building, and income tax refunds. The net amount paid to the FDIC was approximately $511,000.
