FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion of our financial condition and our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
General
FPB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Peoples Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Treasure Coast Holdings, Inc., (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The Holding Company operates as a one-bank holding company and it’s only business activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank and its deposits are insured up to the maximum amounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which are $250,000 for all qualified deposits, and unlimited for non-interest bearing transaction accounts, through December 31, 2012. The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its six banking offices located in Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach and Palm City, Florida. The newest office opened in May, 2008, on Gatlin Boulevard in Port St. Lucie, Florida. In addition, the Palm City, Florida office opened in January of 2008 and an 11,000 square foot Operations Center in Jensen Beach, Florida, opened in March of 2007. The bank’s subsidiary, Treasure Coast Holdings, Inc., was incorporated in June 2008 for the sole purpose of managing foreclosed assets. At December 31, 2010, we had total consolidated assets of $232.4 million and total consolidated stockholders' equity of $6.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had net losses of $8.0 million.
Management’s Strategy
We are organized as a locally owned, locally managed community financial institution, owned and managed by people who are actively involved in our market area and are committed to our economic growth and development. With local ownership, management, and directors, we believe that we can be more responsive to the communities that we serve. Local ownership allows faster, more responsive and flexible decision-making, which is not available at the majority of the financial institutions in or near our market area which consist primarily of branch offices of large regional holding company banks with headquarters located elsewhere in the United States.
Our principal business is to attract deposits from the general public and to invest those funds in various types of loans and other interest earning assets. Funds are provided for the operations by the proceeds from the sale of investments, from amortization and repayment of outstanding loans and investments, from net deposit inflow, and from borrowings. Our earnings depend primarily upon the difference between: (1) non-interest income, and the interest and fees we receive from loans, the securities held in our investment portfolio and other investments; and (2) the expenses we incur in connection with obtaining funds for lending (including interest paid on deposits and other borrowings) and expenses relating to day-to-day operations.
To the extent market conditions permit, our strategy is intended to insulate our interest rate gap from adverse changes in interest rates by maintaining spreads through the adjustability of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Our ability to reduce interest rate risk in our loan and investment portfolios depends upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including among others, competition for loans and deposits in our market area and conditions prevailing in the economy.
Our primary sources of funds for loans and for other general business purposes are our capital, deposits and loan repayments. We expect that loan repayments will be relatively stable sources of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows will be significantly influenced by prevailing interest rates, money market rates, and general economic conditions. Generally, short-term borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds while longer-term borrowings may be used to support expanded lending activities.
(continued)
Our customers are primarily individuals, professionals, small and medium-size businesses, and seasonal retirees located predominantly in St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River Counties, Florida. Our offices are currently located in Stuart, Palm City, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach, Florida. The Gatlin Boulevard office in Port St. Lucie, Florida opened in May of 2008 and the Palm City office in Palm City, Florida opened in January of 2008. An 11,000 square foot Operations Center opened in March, 2007 in Jensen Beach, Florida.
We continually seek to develop new business through an ongoing program of personal calls on both present and potential customers. As a local independent bank, we utilize traditional local advertising media to promote and develop loans and deposits. In addition, all of our directors have worked and lived in or near our market area for a number of years. We believe that these factors, coupled with the past and continued involvement of the directors, officers and staff in various local community activities, will further promote our image as a locally owned independent institution, which we believe is an important factor to our targeted customer base.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting measurements and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. When applying accounting policies in areas that are subjective in nature, we must use our best judgment to arrive at the carrying value of certain assets. The most critical accounting policy we apply is related to the valuation of the loan portfolio.
A variety of estimates impact the carrying value of the loan portfolio including the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of underlying collateral, the timing of loan charge-offs and the amount and amortization of loan fees and deferred origination costs.
Establishing allowance for loan losses requires the most difficult and subjective judgment of all. The allowance is established and maintained at a level we believe is adequate to cover losses resulting from the inability of borrowers to make required payments on loans. Estimates for loan losses are arrived at by analyzing risks associated with specific loans and with the entire loan portfolio, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, the views of our regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and peer comparisons. The analysis also requires consideration of both the local and national economic climate and direction, and changes in the interest rate environment, which may impact a borrower’s ability to pay, legislation impacting the banking industry and economic conditions specific to the bank’s service area. Because the calculation of the allowance for loan losses relies on our estimates and judgments relating to inherently uncertain events, results may differ from our estimates.
The allowance for loan losses is also discussed as part of “Results of Operations” and in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Regulation
As a bank holding company, we are regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, we are subject to extensive regulation by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, Department of Financial Services (the “Department”), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We file reports with the Department and the FDIC concerning our activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals from all three agencies prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other financial institutions. Periodic examinations are performed by the Department and the FDIC to monitor our compliance with the various regulatory requirements.

Credit Risk
Our primary business is making business and consumer loans. That activity entails potential loan losses, the magnitude of which depends on a variety of economic factors affecting borrowers which are beyond our control. While underwriting guidelines have been instituted and credit review procedures have been put in place to protect us from avoidable credit losses, some losses will inevitably occur. At December 31, 2010, we had non-performing assets of $21.5 million.
Allowance for Loan Losses

As of December 31, 2010, our loan portfolio was composed of approximately 32.38% fixed interest rate loans and 67.62% variable interest rate loans. Scheduled contractual principal repayments do not reflect the actual maturities of the loans. The average actual maturity of our loans is substantially less than their average contractual term because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when the current mortgage loan rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when current mortgage loans rates are substantially lower than rates on existing mortgages due primarily to refinancing of adjustable rate and fixed rate loans at lower rates.
The following table sets forth certain information on nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets, the ratio of such loans and foreclosed assets to total assets as of the dates indicated, and certain other related information (dollars in thousands). The increase in nonaccrual loans is primarily attributable to the downturn in the economy, and the expectations for a lengthened period of economic weakness.

As of December 31, 2010, the $10.8 million in restructured troubled debt are performing loans.
Asset Quality
In mid-2008, we formulated a plan to reduce our exposure to weaker lending relationships. Management’s practice has been to do business with borrowers in our area whom we know. The Bank did not fund any sub-prime loans and had very limited exposure to non-owner occupied commercial real estate and residential real estate. We have moved further away from this class of assets by establishing a moratorium on residential construction and development lending in the current economic environment. As of December 31, 2010, we have reduced our exposure in total construction and development loans by $1.1 million, or 100 % from December 31, 2009. The majority of the Bank’s loans are owner occupied commercial loans to local borrowers or consumer loans to their employees. Our market area as a whole has felt the impact of the residential real estate market’s deterioration and our customers appear to be working hard to adjust their business plans to this new reality.
In 2010, total non-performing loans decreased $3.7 million (-22.92%), but foreclosed assets increased $2.4 million (35.89%) and troubled debt restructured increased $5.2 million (92.38%). The overall increase in non-performing assets in 2010 was due primarily to the continued decline in the economy, resulting in continued deterioration in the real estate and commercial secured sectors of our loan portfolio.
(continued)

We have endeavored to deal aggressively with problem assets in our loan portfolio. Since the Bank’s inception in 1999, we have engaged a third-party audit firm to conduct independent asset quality reviews that are specialized and targeted loan reviews by type. We believe our enhanced credit risk management process positions us to deal effectively with reducing our credit risk profile and maintaining a high quality loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Additionally, in the future we intend to develop a more balanced real estate portfolio by reducing our concentration of higher risk non-owner occupied commercial real estate and construction and development loans.
Furthermore, since December 31, 2008, we have enhanced our credit risk management processes by:
q
|
forming a real estate holding company to manage and liquidate foreclosed assets;
|
q
|
developing processes for supervising criticized and classified loans;
|
q
|
adopting a specific action plan for managing and disposing of foreclosed assets;
|
q
|
performing a quarterly assessment of the Bank’s monitoring systems for timely identification of problem loans;
|
q
|
forming a Special Assets Committee of the Board that meets monthly to review management’s progress on all classified assets; and
|
q
|
creating a Special Assets Department to reduce the Bank’s underperforming credits.
|
We believe our enhanced credit risk management process positions us to deal effectively with reducing our credit risk profile.
In 2010, we have taken several properties into our subsidiary incorporated for the purpose of divesting our foreclosed assets, and we are actively working to market these properties. For example, in 2010 we have (i) sold one commercial property carried at $302,000 for $262,000; (ii) sold five vacant lots carried at $593,000 for $468,000; (iii) sold three residential properties carried at $516,000 for $445,000; and (iv) sold four other foreclosed assets carried at $31,000 for $41,000.

Allowance for Credit Losses
In originating loans, we recognize that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for the loan as well as general economic conditions. It is management’s policy to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, management’s loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. We consider several factors in determining the allowances, including charge-off history, the relative level of non-performing assets, and the value of the underlying collateral.
The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is divided into two primary allocation groups: (1) impaired loans; and (2) all other loans. For impaired loans, we have determined an allowance amount to set aside which we believe is sufficient to cover any potential collateral shortfall. Problem loans are identified by the loan officer, by our loan review process, by our Bank’s loan committee, or by the Bank’s regulatory examiners. All other loans are multiplied by an historical experience factor adjusted for qualitative factors to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.
We actively monitor our asset quality to charge-off loans against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate or to provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although we believe we use the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ from the economic conditions in the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. We consider several factors in determining the allowances, including charge-off history, the relative level of non-performing assets, and the value of the underlying collateral. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2010, decreased to 7.37% of total loans, compared to 8.43% at December 31, 2009. During 2010, our allowance increased by $79,000 or 1.67%, and totaled $4.8 million at December 31, 2010. Additional allowance was made to cover the increase in non-performing loans. We believe that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at December 31, 2010.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
In managing liquidity, our objective is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses the ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise. Our primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest payments on loans receivable, cash flows generated from operations, and cash flows generated by investments. External sources of funds include increases in deposits, advances from the FHLB and a secured line of credit extended by the Federal Reserve Bank for overnight cash flow needs. Longer term funding sources include a repurchase agreement with our correspondent bank.
Our management team monitors our liquidity position on an ongoing basis and reports regularly to our Board of Directors the level of liquidity compared to minimum levels established by Board policy. As of December 31, 2010, our level of liquidity was within the established guidelines of Board policy.
(continued)

We are subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by each of the FDIC and the Department. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and, possibly, additional discretionary actions by federal and state regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of December 31, 2010, we did not meet the minimum applicable capital adequacy requirements. See "Regulation and Supervision - Capital Requirements."
As of December 31, 2010, our actual and required minimum capital ratios were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Our primary source of cash during the year ended December 31, 2010, was from net proceeds from the sale, maturity, call and repayment of securities totaling $56.1 million. Cash was used primarily to purchase securities, and fund the deposit decrease. At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $509,000, available lines of credit of $10.2 million, and standby letters of credit of $26,000.
Investment Activities
Our securities portfolio is managed by our Funds Management Committee in accordance with a written investment policy of the Board of Directors that addresses strategies, types and levels of permitted investments. At December 31, 2010, our securities portfolio equaled $37.7 million, or 16.2% of total assets. Our investment portfolio is comprised of SBA securities, mortgage-backed securities, taxable municipal securities and CMO securities.
We classify securities as either available for sale or held to maturity based upon our intent and ability to hold such securities. Securities available for sale include debt and equity securities that are held for an indefinite period of time and are not intended to be held to maturity. Securities available for sale include securities that we intend to use as part of our overall asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates and resultant prepayment risk and other factors related thereto.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses (net of related tax effects) on such securities are excluded from operations but are included in stockholders’ equity. Upon realization, such gains and losses will be included in our operations. Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, other than those designated as available for sale are comprised of debt securities that we have the affirmative intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, and are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the estimated lives of the securities.

Regulatory Matters
Board Resolutions. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“Federal Reserve”) has requested our Board of Directors to adopt resolutions limiting us from reducing our capital position. Pursuant to these resolutions, we have committed to: (i) not incurring debt at the holding company level without prior Federal Reserve approval; (ii) not paying dividends on our securities (including our Series A Preferred Stock) without prior Federal Reserve approval; (iii) not purchasing or redeeming stock without Federal Reserve approval; (iv) not making any other payment which would represent a reduction in capital, other than normal and routine operating expenses; and (v) providing to the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis, a parent-only balance sheet and confirmation of compliance with the resolutions. Our Board of Directors adopted these resolutions at its October 21, 2009 meeting. These resolutions also prohibit us from paying dividends on, or redeeming, the Series A Preferred Stock without Federal Reserve approval.
Consent Order. Effective March 18, 2010, the Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Stipulation”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Bank consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of March 18, 2010.
The Consent Order represents an agreement among the Bank, the FDIC and the OFR as to areas of the Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank.
Pursuant to the Consent Order:
ØThe Bank’s Board of Directors is required to increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank. This participation shall include comprehensive, documented meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly. Prior to the entry of the Consent Order, the Board conducted such meetings, but it now requires more detailed management reports. The Board has also established a committee to oversee the Bank’s compliance with the Consent Order.
ØBy June 16, 2010, and during the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall achieve and maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 11%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 3.02% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 5.57%. As of December 31, 2010, an additional $12 million in capital would be required by the Bank to attain the required capital levels.
ØThe Bank must maintain a fully funded Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”), which must be satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR. The Board of Directors shall quarterly review the adequacy of the ALLL. The Bank has always endeavored to maintain a fully funded, adequate ALLL and believes its ALLL is adequate.
ØThe Bank shall also reduce the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in October 2009: (i) by June 16, 2010, to not more than 140% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (ii) by September 14, 2010, to not more than 120% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iii) by December 13, 2010, to not more than 100% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iv) by March 23, 2011, to not more than 80% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; and (v) by September 19, 2011, to not more than 60% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALL. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank’s ratio was 187%.
ØThe Bank shall not extend any credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan that has been charged off or classified “Substandard” and is uncollected, unless the Bank documents that such extension of credit is in the Bank’s best interest. The Bank had, and has, no intention of extending credit to such borrowers in violation of these requirements.
(continued)
ØBy May 2, 2010, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to any concentration cited by the FDIC, including commercial real estate loans. The Bank shall also develop a plan to reduce any segment of the portfolio deemed by the FDIC or OFR to be an undue concentration of credit. Both were completed and submitted on April 29, 2010.
ØBy June 16, 2010, the Bank shall formulate and implement a strategic plan and a plan to improve and sustain Bank earnings. Additionally, the Bank must prepare a budget and update the profit plan by November 30th of each year. All such items must be submitted to the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank was granted an extension to September 28, 2010 to submit its strategic plan and submitted it prior to that date.
ØBy May 17, 2010, the Bank must review, revise and adopt its liquidity, contingency funding and funds management policy, including implementing any changes recommended by the FDIC or the OFR. These were completed and submitted on May 27, 2010, following an extension granted to May 28, 2010.
ØThroughout the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall not accept, renew, or rollover any brokered deposit, and shall comply with the restrictions on the effective yields on deposits exceeding national averages. In addition, by March 28, 2010, the Bank was required to submit to the FDIC and the OFR a plan to reduce reliance on brokered deposits, which it has done. The Bank has not accepted, renewed or rolled over any brokered deposits since July 2009. With respect to the yield limitations, it is possible that the Bank could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by the Bank.
ØDuring the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall limit its asset growth to 10% per year, unless the FDIC and the OFR consent to greater growth. Under the recently adopted strategic plan, the growth percentage will not exceed these growth parameters.
ØWhile the Consent Order is in effect, the Bank shall not declare or pay dividends, or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank has never paid a dividend to the holding company.
ØWithin 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter, the Bank shall furnish written progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR detailing the form, manner, and results of any actions taken to secure compliance. The Bank has, and will continue to prepare and submit such reports.
On February 2, 2011, the Bank received a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”), effective as of January 28, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC issued the Directive due to the Bank’s failure to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, the deteriorating condition of the Bank and management’s failure to improve the condition of the Bank. The Directive requires that: (1) within 30 days of the Effective Date (by February 27, 2011), the Bank must comply with the requirements of its Consent Order by attaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 11% and (2) within 10 days of the Effective Date (extended to February 11, 2011) submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, which expressly provides that the Bank will attain such capital levels. An updated capital restoration plan was submitted on February 11, 2011.
The Directive further requires that if the Bank does not increase its capital to such levels by February 27, 2011, the Bank must take any necessary action for the Bank to be acquired by, or merged into, another financial institution.
If the Bank fails to satisfy the requirements of the Directive, it is likely that the FDIC or the Florida Office of Financial Regulation will take further regulatory enforcement action against the Bank, including the closure of the Bank and the placement of it into receivership with the FDIC.
The Directive also prohibits the Bank from: (1) making any payments on its subordinated debt or paying any capital distributions or dividends; (2) providing certain compensation to senior executive officers or excessive compensation or bonuses generally; (3) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (4) paying interest on deposits in excess of FDIC-established market rates; and (5) acquiring any interest in any company, establishing any branches, engaging in any new line of business, entering into any material transaction outside the ordinary course of business, extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction, amending its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, materially changing its accounting methods, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates (including the holding company), without the FDIC’s prior approval. Furthermore, the Directive requires the Bank to alter, reduce or terminate any activity the FDIC determines poses excessive risk to the Bank.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do not engage in securities trading or hedging activities and do not invest in interest rate derivatives or enter into interest rate swaps. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our loan and deposit-taking activities. To that end, we actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to maximize earnings and minimize the potential adverse impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and capital, while adjusting our asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. We rely primarily on our asset-liability structure to manage interest rate risk. However, a sudden and substantial decrease in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings, to the extent that the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis.
Asset and Liability Structure
Our asset and liability management program establishes and implements various internal asset-liability decision processes, as well as communications and control procedures to aid us in managing our operations. We believe that these processes and procedures provide us with better capital planning, asset mix and volume controls, loan-pricing guidelines, and deposit interest rate guidelines which should result in tighter controls and less exposure to interest rate risk.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be accomplished in part by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. The gap ratio is computed as the amount of rate sensitive assets less the amount of rate sensitive liabilities divided by total assets. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income.
In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on the results of operations, we continue to monitor asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Such policies have consisted primarily of emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate loans; maintaining a stable core deposit base; and maintaining a significant portion of liquid assets consisting primarily of cash and short-term securities.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
Deposits are the major source of funds for our lending and investment activities. In addition, we also generate funds from loan principal repayments and prepayments, and from the maturities and cash flow of investment securities. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and money-market conditions. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the “FHLB”) may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources, or for long-term funding purposes. We also have lines of credit extended by the Federal Reserve Bank to utilize for overnight cash flow needs. Longer-term funding is available through a Repurchase Agreement, which is set-up with a correspondent bank. Repurchase agreements as a funding source were not utilized in 2010 or 2009.
Deposit instruments include NOW accounts, demand deposit accounts, money-market accounts, statement savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance deposit, early withdrawal penalties and interest rate. We review our deposit mix and pricing on a frequent basis.
(continued)

We believe that we are competitive in the type of accounts and interest rates we offer on our deposit products, although deposit pricing continues to be a challenge. We determine deposit interest rates based on a number of conditions, including rates paid by competitors, rates on U.S. Treasury securities, rates offered on various FHLB advance programs, and the deposit growth rate we are seeking to achieve.
In 2010, matured brokered deposits of $26.3 million and public funds of $3.5 million were repaid. This decrease in liquidity has resulted in an increase in wholesale funding sources, which has placed further pressure on deposit costs and the net-interest margin.
We may use premiums to attract new deposit accounts. Such premiums would be reflected in an increase in our advertising and promotion expense, as well as our cost of funds. We also actively solicit business checking accounts and individual retirement accounts.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest income is determined by the difference between yields earned on interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities (“interest rate spread”) and the relative amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Our interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic, and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, and deposit flows. In addition, our operations are also affected by the level of non-performing loans and foreclosed assets, as well as the level of our non-interest income, and our non-interest expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs and income taxes.
The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, information regarding: (i) the total dollar amount of interest and dividend income from interest earning assets and the resultant average yield; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (iii) net interest/dividend income; (iv) interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. Average balances are based on average daily balances (dollars in thousands):

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
General. Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $8.0 million or $(4.05) per basic and diluted common share compared to net loss of $9.2 million or ($4.66) per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in the net loss was primarily due a decrease in interest expense of $2.0 million, an increase in non-interest income of $815,000, and a decrease in income tax expense of $1.1 million in 2010, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $858,000, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $720,000 and an increase in non-interest expense of $1.1 million. The prolonged recession in our state and the country as a whole have resulted in a continued decline in the real estate market, loss of jobs, foreclosures and business failures. As a result of these factors, and in view of the lengthened expectations for a further weakened economy, we have significantly increased our provision for loan losses.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, from $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Interest income on loans decreased to $10.6 million from $11.3 million due to a decrease in the average loan portfolio balance in 2010, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average yield earned on the portfolio for 2010. Interest on securities decreased to $1.3 million in 2010, from $1.5 million in 2009, due to a decrease in the average yield earned in 2010, partially offset by an increase in the average portfolio balance in 2010. Interest on other interest earning assets increased to $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, from $23,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to an increase in the average balance in 2010.
(continued)

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $4.2 million in 2010 from $6.2 million in 2009. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities in 2010.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance to a level we deem appropriate and is based upon historical experience, the volume and the type of lending we conduct. In addition, industry standards, the amounts of non-performing loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of our loan portfolio were considered. The provision for loan losses increased to $5.7 million in 2010 from $5.0 million in 2009. The allowance for loan losses increased to $4.8 million at December 31, 2010 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due to an increase in charge-offs and required reserves on loans in 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the loan portfolio during the year. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4.8 million is adequate at December 31, 2010.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased to $2.0 million in 2010 from $1.2 million in 2009. This was primarily a result of an increase in the gains on the sale of securities available for sale and no write-down of other assets in 2010, partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of loans held for sale.
Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased to $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $10.5 million in 2009. This was primarily due to increases in data processing, supplies, professional fees (as a result of an increase in problem assets), FDIC insurance, and expenses and losses related to foreclosed assets, partially offset by decreases in employee compensation and benefits, advertising and occupancy.
Income Taxes. The adjusted income tax for 2010 decreased to $372,000, from the income tax expense of $1.5 million for 2009.
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
General. Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $9.2 million or ($4.66) per basic and diluted common share compared to net loss of $3.0 million or ($1.46) per basic and diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase in the net loss was primarily due to a $4.4 million accounting charge to record a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which resulted in income tax expense of $1.5 million in 2009, compared to a tax benefit of $1.8 million in 2008, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $900,000, a decrease in interest income of $1.0 million, and an increase in non-interest expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by and an increase in non-interest income of $315,000, and a decrease in interest expense of $736,000. In addition to the Company’s growth, the economic downturns both in our State and the country as a whole have resulted in a continued decline in the real estate market, loss of jobs, foreclosures and business failures. As a result of these factors, and in view of the lengthened expectations for a further weakened economy, we have significantly increased our provision for loan losses.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Interest income on loans decreased to $11.3 million from $13.0 million due to a decrease in the weighted-average yield earned on the portfolio for 2009, partially offset by an increase in the average loan portfolio balance for the year ended December 31, 2009. Interest on securities increased to $1.5 million in 2009, from $673,000 in 2008, due to an increase in the average portfolio balance in 2009, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned. Interest on other interest earning assets decreased to $23,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $141,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield earned in 2009, partially offset by an increase in the average balance in 2009.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $6.2 million in 2009 from $7.0 million in 2008. Interest expense decreased due to a decrease in the weighted-average rate paid on liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities in 2009.
(continued)
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance to a level we deem appropriate and is based upon historical experience, the volume and the type of lending we conduct. In addition, industry standards, the amounts of non-performing loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to our market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of our loan portfolio were considered. The provision for loan losses increased to $5.0 million in 2009 from $4.1 million in 2008. The allowance for loan losses increased to $4.7 million at December 31, 2009 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in the allowance was due to the increase in the loan portfolio during the year, as well as an increase in non-performing loans in 2009. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4.7 million is adequate at December 31, 2009.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased to $1.2 million in 2009 from $874,000 in 2008. This was primarily a result of increases in service charges on deposit accounts, and gains on the sale of loans held for sale and securities available for sale, partially offset by the $548,000 corporate stock write down representing the Company’s investment in 200 shares of common stock of Silverton Bank, N.A. in 2009. This common stock was recorded as an other asset and not considered part of the Company’s investment portfolio.
Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased to $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $8.5 million in 2008. This was primarily due to increases in professional fees (as a result of an increase in problem assets), FDIC insurance, and expenses and losses related to foreclosed assets, partially offset by decreases in employee compensation and benefits, supplies and advertising.
Income Taxes. As a result of a $4.4 million charge related to the recording of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, the adjusted income tax was $1.5 million for 2009, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.8 million for 2008.
Commercial Real Estate Lending
The bank has significant exposure to commercial real estate loans.
Loan extensions. On occasion, the bank may extend such loans at or near original maturity and, due to the existence of guarantees, not consider them to be impaired. As of December 31, 2010, the bank had fewer than ten loans that would be classified in this category. Terms vary by the individual circumstances, guarantor strength and collateral. Management typically looks for some improvement in the bank’s position in exchange for a renewal. This improvement may come in the form of a principal reduction, revised amortization and/or additional conditions agreed upon via a written forbearance agreement. The bank has offered some of these borrowers periods of interest-only payment (typically one year or less) or some other reduced amortization, but this is not always the case. None of these loans would be considered collateral dependent.
Furthermore, the bank never extends loan terms solely due to the existence of a guarantee. A loan extension would be considered a troubled debt restructuring if the bank granted a distressed borrower reduced payment terms for six months or longer. The bank may offer such terms at the same or a reduced rate to allow for improved cash flow. The bank does not typically offer reduced payment terms without revaluating the credit.
Evaluation of guarantors. The bank requires personal guarantees on all commercial real estate loans, except a small number of loans to non-profit organizations where guarantees are not available. A cash flow analysis is performed on the guarantor and the project, along with a consolidated analysis of the entire credit relationship. Information used in this review is collected from personal financial statements, credit reports and tax returns as well as any other available information. A guarantor’s cash flow, liquidity, financial obligations, net worth, payment history and any collections, judgments or other adverse filings are reviewed. When originating new loans the bank generally requires that personal financial statements be no older than one month from application, but in no case older than six months. Underwriting requires the last three years of complete tax returns and extensions if the most recent return is not available. Financial statements and W-2’s are used to supplement this information when the tax returns are stale. The bank does not make new loans where the guarantor is outside of a tax filing extension period and has not provided a current return. Updated financial information is required, and loans are reviewed, at least annually.
(continued)
Collection from guarantors. Management has often found that the threat or filing of a suit will bring a guarantor to commence settlement negotiations. In these cases the bank has occasionally considered and accepted the release of a guarantee in exchange for the payment of an expected deficiency. The bank has also released guarantees in exchange for deeds-in-lieu and voluntary foreclosures. In these instances a current certified financial disclosure is obtained from the guarantor. The bank considers the guarantor’s assets, cash flow, the size of any expected deficiency and the cost of litigation to determine whether it is appropriate to release a guarantee or whether to require an additional payment in exchange for a release.
Management has classified the bank’s experience pursuing guarantors since 2007 into three categories: Resolved Satisfactorily, Resolved Unsatisfactorily and Pending. Both categories referred to as Resolved include any relationship where the bank has either come to an agreement with the borrower, come to a settlement, completed litigation or is otherwise very close to settling the entire relationship. Loans accounted for in the Satisfactory subset of Resolved are where the borrower/guarantor is still in compliance with an agreement or where the bank has been able to take possession of collateral to recover at least 90% of the bank’s exposure, with or without additional guarantor support. Some of these have required a series of simple forceful discussions, others have required varying degrees of legal involvement and others have required court action. Many of these did not require a change in terms. A Resolved Unsatisfactorily situation is one were the bank has either completed litigation or reached a settlement where the 90% recovery threshold has not been met. Pending relationships are almost all in litigation currently.
In the table below, the year correlates to the year the borrower first began having financial difficulty. Some negotiations have carried on through multiple years. The large jump in 2008 and then the subsequent decline are noteworthy. This is especially true in 2010 where new issues were limited to $4.2MM and all of these were resolved satisfactorily. Almost all of the bank’s current issues have been ongoing for several years (dollars in millions, totals may not reconcile due to rounding).

Updating appraisals. The bank obtains updated appraisals at least annually for non-accrual loans. The bank’s management regularly monitors a variety of local and national economic data such as unemployment, foreclosures and current sales prices on various types of properties. When the bank observes continued deterioration or other issues within any of these factors management may choose to obtain an earlier valuation, such as a comparable market analysis or updated appraisal. The bank’s Special Assets Department also closely monitors comparable sales on properties similar to the collateral on non-accrual loans. All appraisals are reviewed for accuracy by the bank’s credit department and the responsible loan officer. The bank does not make adjustments to appraised values. If a discrepancy is perceived with an appraisal, it is discussed with the appraiser and the appraiser may decide to adjust the value if he or she agrees with the bank’s comments. The bank’s allowance for loan losses calculations are always based on current appraisals. The bank’s credit department is independent from the lending staff and provides an additional level of oversight in the process.
Out of market lending. FPB operates as a community bank; as such all of the bank’s loans are located in the South Florida markets, with one exception in an out-of-area participation. The out-of-area participation is nonperforming and is currently controlled by the FDIC. The bank has a 1.77% participation ownership in this property for a total balance of just under $1,000,000. The bank received an updated appraisal on this property within the last six months and receives monthly progress reports on the resolution of the asset. The property is located in North Florida and an onsite inspection was conducted by one of the bank’s officers.
(continued)
Interest reserves. The bank has made only one loan with an interest reserve within the last twenty-one months. The original principal was less than $200,000 and the interest reserve was depleted prior to February 2010. The guarantors have the ability to make their payments without cash flow from the collateral property and have been doing so since February 2010. The interest reserve was made as an inducement to approve and was not needed to support the bank’s analysis of the borrower’s and guarantors’ cash flow. This loan is not on non-accrual status.
During Q2 2010 the bank also entered into an agreement with a borrower to pre-pay a year of amortized payments in advance on another commercial real estate loan relationship that is in workout. The borrower has been making the payments for these loans on its own since 2007, without an interest reserve. This borrower-funded reserve was obtained as an inducement to us to grant an extension and no new bank-lent funds were extended to fund the reserve.
The bank has only made three other loans with interest reserves in its entire operating history and does not intend to make any in the future, unless such reserves are established by the borrower with funds from sources other than a loan made by the bank.
Construction Lending
All of the bank’s construction loans are underwritten based on project feasibility and historical cash flow. The bank currently has no construction loans in its portfolio and ceased making non-owner occupied construction loans in 2008.
The bank performs the same underwriting procedures for construction loans as described above for commercial real estate loans. The bank also requires a current title insurance policy and satisfactory environmental report. Construction is monitored by an independent construction inspector with supervision and review by the responsible officer. A draw request, current construction inspection and construction lien releases are required prior to the dispersal of each draw.
Restructured Loans
A borrower must make at least six consecutive monthly payments on time to be considered eligible to be returned to accrual status once a loan is restructured. Additionally, a borrower would be required to demonstrate the ability to service the debt with financial statements and/or tax returns.
With respect to troubled debt restructurings, the primary concession the bank offers is a reduced amortization or an interest-only period lasting from one month to one year. The bank rarely grants payment extensions on anything other than small consumer loans. Management has found that payment extensions cause extended periods of delayed amortization that do not work to the benefit of the borrower or the bank. The bank has made a few exceptions when a borrower grants additional collateral that improves the bank’s position beyond the impact of the payment deferral.
The bank currently has fewer than ten loan relationships where it has granted some interest rate relief. These were granted for limited periods of less than three years. The bank’s policy when granting relief is to have an interest rate floor of 5% and to charge as close to the current market rate as possible for a similar term loan.
The bank has no instances where it has forgiven principal. There are two instances where the bank has charged-off a note and is not requiring the borrower to make payments until another note is satisfied or collateral is sold. Each of those charge-offs was for less than $100,000.
The bank typically requires written forbearance agreements for any commercial real estate loan modifications in excess of six months and frequently require them on shorter modifications. The forbearance agreement form requires a borrower to admit a default and grants the bank numerous legal benefits in the event the bank is are forced to foreclose.
(continued)
The bank has had significant success working with borrowers. A modification is discussed thoroughly among the bank’s senior officers prior to making an offer to a borrower. All modifications are vetted and customized to be feasible considering a borrower’s circumstances and to match the best possible circumstances available for the bank. The addition of a written forbearance agreement provides substantial leverage with a borrower and expedites legal action or settlement in the event a borrower is not able to meet the revised terms.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

Organization. FPB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company") owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of First Peoples Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Treasure Coast Holdings, Inc., (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The Holding Company operates as a one-bank holding company and it’s only business activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank and its deposits are insured up to the maximum amounts by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which are $250,000 for all qualified deposits, and unlimited for non-interest bearing transaction accounts, through December 30, 2012. The Bank offers a variety of community banking services to individual and corporate customers through its six banking offices located in Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach and Palm City, Florida. The newest office opened in May, 2008, on Gatlin Boulevard in Port St. Lucie, Florida. In addition, the Palm City, Florida office opened in January of 2008 and an 11,000 square foot Operations Center in Jensen Beach, Florida, opened in March of 2007. The new subsidiary, Treasure Coast Holdings, Inc., was incorporated in June 2008 for the sole purpose of managing foreclosed assets.
|
|
Going Concern. The Company’s recent and continuing increases in non-performing assets, continuing high levels of operating expenses related to the credit problems and eroding regulatory capital raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not complied with its regulatory capital requirements set forth in the Consent Order and Prompt Corrective Action discussed in Footnote 19, Regulatory Matters. The Company needs to raise substantial additional capital. Management is evaluating all potential sources of capital to meet the Company’s capital requirements, to include offering stock to outside parties and seeking a strategic merger partner. There is no guarantee that sufficient capital would be available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company would be able to sell assets at terms favorable enough to accomplish its regulatory capital needs. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
|
|
The following is a description of the significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Company, which conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and prevailing practices within the banking industry.
|
|
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company, the Bank and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
|

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
|
|
Use of Estimates. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, foreclosed assets and deferred tax assets.
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.
|
The Bank may be required by law or regulation to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash or in non-interest earning accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank or other qualified banks. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no required reserve balance
|
Securities. Securities may be classified as either trading, held to maturity or available for sale. Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations. Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held-to-maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
|
|
Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance, adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs.
|
|
Commitment fees and loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized. Both are recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.
|
For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.
|
The accrual of interest on all classes of loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, all loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Past-due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.
|
|
All interest accrued but not collected for all classes of loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
|
|
Loans Held for Sale. The Company originates loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the guaranteed portion of which may be sold at a premium. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2010 or 2009.
|
|
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
|
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
|
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
|
For non-specific loans in all classes, the general component is based on historical loss experience and adjusted for the following qualitative factors economic conditions and other trends or uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable loss.
|
A loan is considered impaired when, 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. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

|
Allowance for Loan Losses, Continued.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank generally does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures.
|
|
Foreclosed Assets. Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
|
|
Premises and Equipment. Land is stated at cost. Building and improvements, leasehold improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset or the length of time the Company expects to lease the property, if shorter.
|
|
Transfer of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. A participating interest is a portion of an entire financial asset that (1) conveys proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder (2) involves no recourse (other than standard representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder, and (3) does not entitle any participating interest holder to receive cash before any other participating interest holder.
|
|
Income Taxes. There are two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods.

|
|
Income Taxes, Continued
|
Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted accounting guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a $7.7 million and $4.4 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $7.9 million and $4.4 million respectively.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax (benefit) expense.
|
Share-Based Compensation. The Company has adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), and expenses the fair value of any stock options as they vest. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
|
|
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments. In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, available lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded.
|
|
Loss Per Common Share. Loss per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. In 2010 and 2009, outstanding stock options and warrants are not considered dilutive due to the losses incurred by the Company.
|
|
Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
|
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
(continued)

|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
|
|
Fair Value Measurements, continued
|
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.
|
|
The following describes valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value
|
|
Securities Available for Sale. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities.
|
|
Impaired Loans. Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company's management related to values of properties in the Company's market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.
|
|
Foreclosed Assets. Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Company's senior lending officers related to values of properties in the Company's market areas. These officers take into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property as well as current economic conditions in the area the property is located in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair values estimates for foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3.

|
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument or may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:
|
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
|
|
Securities. The fair value for securities are based on the framework for measuring fair value.
|
|
Loans. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate mortgage (e.g. one-to-four family residential), commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are based on the framework for measuring fair value.
|
|
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. Fair value of the Company's investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock is based on its redemption value, which is its cost of $100 per share.
|
|
Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate their fair values.
|
|
Deposit Liabilities. The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money-market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
|
|
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowings.
|
|
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

Comprehensive Loss. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in operations. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net loss, are components of comprehensive loss. The components of other comprehensive loss and related tax effects are as follows (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), which amends the guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. Furthermore, ASU 2010-06 requires a reporting entity to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs; clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value; and amends guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The ASU was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures were effective January 1, 2011 and for interim periods thereafter. In the period of initial adoption, entities will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
|
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The new disclosures will require significantly more information about credit quality in a financial institution's loan portfolio. This statement addresses only disclosures and does not change recognition or measurement of the allowance. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on December 31, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, securities with a carrying value of $28,330,000 and $31,332,000, respectively, were pledged for Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to the Federal Reserve Bank for Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) transactions, and the State of Florida as collateral for public funds.
|
|
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
|
|
The unrealized losses on twenty-two investment securities available for sale were caused by market conditions. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to market conditions and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans
|
|
Our primary source of income is generated from the interest earned on our loan portfolio and fees generated from our lending activities. We primarily focus our lending activities on commercial real estate lending to small and medium-sized businesses, including professionals, such as physicians, law firms and accountants. Our commercial mortgage loans include loans for acquisition/development, construction or rehabilitation of commercial, multi-family or residential real property.
|
|
We also emphasize commercial loans secured by assets other than real estate. Our target commercial loan market includes companies in the medical services, retail construction, wholesale, manufacturing, and tourism industries. We also offer residential mortgage loans, as well as consumer loans, such as home equity lines of credit. Our goal is to develop commercial lending opportunities where the loan relationships provide us with opportunities to develop depository relationships and other non-commercial loan relationships.
|
|
We offer Small Business Administration ("SBA"), 7(a) and 504 loans to small businesses throughout our market area. SBA loans are a complement to our focus on strengthening and supporting local communities. SBA loans are generally made pursuant to a federal government program designed to assist small businesses in obtaining financing. The federal government guarantees 75% to 90% of the SBA loan balances as an incentive for financial institutions to make loans to small businesses. We generally sell the guaranteed portion of the SBA loan at a premium sale price between approximately 5% and 9%. We had $14.5 million of outstanding SBA loans at December 31, 2010, of which $8.9 million is guaranteed.

As of December 31, 2010, our loan portfolio was composed of approximately 32.38% fixed interest rate loans and 67.62% variable interest rate loans. Scheduled contractual principal repayments do not reflect the actual maturities of loan. The average actual maturity of our loans is substantially less than their average contractual term because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when the current mortgage loan rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when current mortgage loans rates are substantially lower than rates on existing mortgages due primarily to refinancing of adjustable rate and fixed rate loans at lower rates.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:
|
Pass – a Pass loan’s primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary. These are loans that conform in all aspects to bank policy and regulatory requirements, and no repayment risk has been identified.
|
(continued)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

|
Loans, Continued
|
|
Potential Problem – a Potential Problem loan is considered performing, but may exhibit some weaknesses that warrant more frequent review by management.
|
|
OLEM (Other Loans Especially Mentioned) – an Other Loan Especially Mentioned has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date.
|
|
Substandard – a Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
|
|
Doubtful – a loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard, with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Doubtful.
|
|
Loss – a loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. The Company fully charges off any loan classified as Loss.

The allowance for loan losses on all loans that have been restructured and are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) is included in the Company’s specific reserve. The specific reserve is determined on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. TDR’s that have subsequently defaulted are considered collateral dependent.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
|
|
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, available lines of credit and standby letters of credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

|
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Continued
|
|
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
|
|
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed-expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
|
|
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that included in extending loans to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting these commitments and management does not anticipate any potential losses if these letters of credit are funded.
|
|
Commitments to extend credit, available lines of credit, and standby letters of credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded. A summary of Company's financial instruments with off balance sheet risk at December 31, 2010 follows (in thousands):

Credit Risk
|
|
The Company grants the majority of its loans to borrowers throughout the Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Palm City, Fort Pierce and Vero Beach, Florida area. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its borrowers' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economy in St. Lucie County, Martin County and Indian River County, Florida. The Company does not have significant concentrations to any one industry or customer. The Company did have fourteen loans aggregating $9.6 million and fifteen loans aggregating $11.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, with original maturities of five years or less, where the primary source of repayment is the sale of the related collateral or the conversion of the existing debt into debt at another financial institution. The majority of these loans are located in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian Counties, Florida.

Credit Risk, Continued

|
With the uncertain real estate market in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties, Florida, in the short-term, obtaining refinancing or sale of the collateral, with terms acceptable to the borrower may be difficult or impossible. While some of these loans have been extended, it is possible others will be extended and/or modified or the loans which have been extended may be extended again. Management is closely monitoring these loans and believes the loan loss allowance at December 31, 2010 is adequate.

The Company has Deferred Compensation Agreements (the "Agreements") with certain officers and directors which require the Company to provide salary continuation benefits to them upon retirement. The Agreements require the Company to pay annual benefits for five to fifteen years following their normal retirement ages. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on these officers and directors which although not formerly linked, have estimated future cash values that exceed the estimated future benefits that will be due under these Agreements. The Company recognized income on the life insurance policies, net of benefit expense accrued on the Agreements, of $121,000 in 2010 and $96,000 in 2009.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company assessed its earnings history and trend over the past year, its estimate of future earnings, and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the near term. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the net deferred tax asset.
|
|
At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.1 million for Federal and $9.9 million for Florida available to offset future taxable income. The carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028.
|
|
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and the State of Florida. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal, State and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

The Company established a Stock Option Plan in 1998 (“1998 Plan”) for directors, officers and employees of the Company. The 1998 Plan as amended provides for 131,553 shares of common stock to be available for grant. The exercise price of the stock options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2010, no shares remain available for grant, as the Plan Agreement terminated on December 8, 2008.

In 2005, the Company established a new option plan (“2005 Plan”) for directors, officers and employees of the Company. The 2005 Plan provides for 158,743 shares of common stock to be available for grant. The exercise price of the stock options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The 2005 Plan allows for various vesting periods and the options expire ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2010, 50,507 shares remain available for grant.

The fair value of each option granted during the year ended December 31, 2009, was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

|

Weighted-average grant-date fair value of options issued during the year
|
$ | 1.18 |
|
The Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises by its directors and employees in an effort to determine if there was any pattern based on these populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumptions are based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

The total fair value of shares vested and recognized as compensation expense was $25,000 and $51,000 for 2010 and 2009 respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 10,972 stock options not fully vested and there was $12,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested options. This cost is expected to be recognized monthly over a weighted-average period of .49 years on a straight-line basis.
|
|
Also in January 2004, 22,050 stock options were granted to a third party as compensation for services provided to the Company. The options, which expire at the end of ten years, were issued at $11.00 per share and are fully vested. As of December 31, 2010, none of these options had been exercised.
|
|
In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 16, the Company sold on December 5, 2008 to the U.S. Treasury a ten year warrant to purchase at any time up to 183,158 shares of the Company’s common stock for $4.75 per share. As of December 31, 2010, this warrant had not yet been exercised.

Profit Sharing Plan
|

The Company sponsors a section 401(k) profit sharing plan (the "Plan") which is available to all employees electing to participate. The Company did not approve any matching contributions during 2010 or 2009.

Stockholders’ Equity
|
|
On December 5, 2008, the Company issued and sold to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) 5,800 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Preferred Shares”), along with a ten year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase at any time up to 183,158 shares of the Company’s common stock for $4.75 per share, for a total cash investment of $5.8 million from the Treasury (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed pursuant to, and is governed by, the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), which is designed to attract broad participation by healthy institutions, to stabilize the financial system, and to increase lending for the benefit of the U.S. economy.
|
|
The Transaction proceeds of $5.8 million were allocated between the Preferred Shares and Warrant based on the ratio of the estimated fair value of the Warrant to the aggregate estimated fair value of both the Preferred Shares and the Warrant. The allocation of proceeds to the Warrant was recorded as a “preferred stock discount” against the Preferred Shares, with a corresponding and equal entry to additional paid in common equity in the amount of $526,000. This discount is being amortized over five years on a straight-line basis and increases the loss available to common shareholders.
|
|
The Preferred Shares carry a 5% per year cumulative preferred dividend rate, payable quarterly. The dividend rate increases to 9% after five years. Dividends compound if they accrue and are not paid. The Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus accrued unpaid dividends. During the first three years after the Transaction, the Company may not redeem the Preferred Shares except in conjunction with a qualified equity offering meeting certain requirements. After three years, the Company may redeem the Preferred Shares, plus accrued unpaid dividends, in whole or in part, subject to the approval of the Company’s primary federal banking regulator.

|
Stockholders' Equity, Continued
|
|
While the Preferred Shares are outstanding, certain restrictions apply to the Company, including, among others, those that are discussed below.
|
|
The Preferred Shares have a senior rank and the Company cannot issue other preferred stock senior to the Preferred Shares. Until the third anniversary of the sale of the Preferred Shares, unless the Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole or the Treasury has transferred all of the shares to a non-affiliated third party, the Company may not increase its common stock cash dividend or repurchase common stock or other equity shares (subject to certain limited exceptions) without the Treasury’s approval. If the Company were to pay a cash dividend in the future, any such dividend would have to be discontinued if a Preferred Share dividend were missed. Thereafter, dividends on common stock could be resumed only if all Preferred Share dividends in arrears were paid. Similar restrictions apply to the Company’s ability to repurchase common stock if Preferred Share dividends are missed. Failure to pay the Preferred Share dividend is not an event of default. However, a failure to pay a total of six Preferred Share dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Preferred Shares the right to elect two directors to the Company’s board of directors. That right would continue until the Company pays all dividends in arrears.
|
|
Senior Executive Officers of the Company and its subsidiary agreed to limit certain compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements, and policies with respect to the Senior Executive Officers during the period that the Treasury owns any debt or equity securities acquired in connection with the Transaction. The Preferred Shares generally are non-voting, other than in connection with proposals to issue preferred stock senior to the Preferred Shares, certain merger transactions, amendments to the rights of the holder of the Preferred Shares, and other than in connection with the board representation rights mentioned above, as required by Delaware State law. The Warrant is exercisable immediately and expires in ten years. The Warrant has anti-dilution protections and certain other protections for the holder, as well as potential registration rights upon written request from the Treasury. If requested by the Treasury, the Warrant (and the underlying common stock) may need to be listed on a national securities exchange. The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting rights with respect to common shares it may acquire upon exercise of the Warrant. If the Preferred Shares are redeemed in whole, the Company has the right to purchase any common shares held by the Treasury at their fair market value at that time.
|
|
At December 31, 2010 the Company had $290,000 in unpaid dividends.
|

|
Restrictions on Dividends
|
|
The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends on its common and preferred stock is limited to the amount of dividends it could receive from the Bank plus its own cash and cash equivalents. It is also restricted as discussed in Note 17 and Note 19. The amount of dividends the Bank is permitted to pay to the Company is restricted to 100% of its calendar year-to-date net earnings plus retained earnings for the preceding two years. In addition, no bank may pay a dividend at any time that net earnings in the current year when combined with retained earnings from the preceding two years produce a loss. Under Florida law, a Florida chartered commercial bank may not pay cash dividends that would cause the Bank’s capital to fall below the minimum amount required by Federal or Florida law.

Regulatory Matters
|
|
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's and the Company's consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
|
|
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2010, the Bank did not meet the capital adequacy requirements.
|
|
To be categorized as adequately capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage percentages as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the table ($ in thousands).

Board Resolutions. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“Federal Reserve”) has requested our Board of Directors to adopt resolutions limiting us from reducing our capital position. Pursuant to these resolutions, we have committed to: (i) not incurring debt at the holding company level without prior Federal Reserve approval; (ii) not paying dividends on our securities (including our Series A Preferred Stock) without prior Federal Reserve approval; (iii) not purchasing or redeeming stock without Federal Reserve approval; (iv) not making any other payment which would represent a reduction in capital, other than normal and routine operating expenses; and (v) providing to the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis, a parent-only balance sheet and confirmation of compliance with the resolutions. Our Board of Directors adopted these resolutions at its October 21, 2009 meeting. These resolutions also prohibit us from paying dividends on, or redeeming, the Series A Preferred Stock without Federal Reserve approval.
|
|
Consent Order. Effective March 18, 2010, the Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Stipulation”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Bank consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of March 18, 2010.
|
The Consent Order represents an agreement among the Bank, the FDIC and the OFR as to areas of the Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank.
Pursuant to the Consent Order:
Ø
|
The Bank’s Board of Directors is required to increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank. This participation shall include comprehensive, documented meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly. Prior to the entry of the Consent Order, the Board conducted such meetings, but it now requires more detailed management reports. The Board has also established a committee to oversee the Bank’s compliance with the Consent Order.
|
Ø
|
By June 16, 2010, and during the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall achieve and maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 11%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 3.02% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 5.57%. As of December 31, 2010, an additional $12 million in capital would be required by the Bank to attain the required capital levels.
|
Ø
|
The Bank must maintain a fully funded Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”), which must be satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR. The Board of Directors shall quarterly review the adequacy of the ALLL. The Bank has always endeavored to maintain a fully funded, adequate ALLL and believes its ALLL is adequate.
|

|
Ø
|
The Bank shall also reduce the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in October 2009: (i) by June 16, 2010, to not more than 140% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (ii) by September 14, 2010, to not more than 120% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iii) by December 13, 2010, to not more than 100% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iv) by March 23, 2011, to not more than 80% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; and (v) by September 19, 2011, to not more than 60% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank’s ratio was 187%.
|
Ø
|
The Bank shall not extend any credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan that has been charged off or classified “Substandard” and is uncollected, unless the Bank documents that such extension of credit is in the Bank’s best interest. The Bank had, and has, no intention of extending credit to such borrowers in violation of these requirements.
|
Ø
|
By May 2, 2010, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to any concentration cited by the FDIC, including commercial real estate loans. The Bank shall also develop a plan to reduce any segment of the portfolio deemed by the FDIC or OFR to be an undue concentration of credit. Both were completed and submitted on April 29, 2010.
|
Ø
|
By June 16, 2010, the Bank shall formulate and implement a strategic plan and a plan to improve and sustain Bank earnings. Additionally, the Bank must prepare a budget and update the profit plan by November 30th of each year. All such items must be submitted to the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank was granted an extension to September 28, 2010 to submit its strategic plan and submitted it prior to that date.
|
Ø
|
By May 17, 2010, the Bank must review, revise and adopt its liquidity, contingency funding and funds management policy, including implementing any changes recommended by the FDIC or the OFR. These were completed and submitted on May 27, 2010, following an extension granted to May 28, 2010.
|
Ø
|
Throughout the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall not accept, renew, or rollover any brokered deposit, and shall comply with the restrictions on the effective yields on deposits exceeding national averages. In addition, by March 28, 2010, the Bank was required to submit to the FDIC and the OFR a plan to reduce reliance on brokered deposits, which it has done. The Bank has not accepted, renewed or rolled over any brokered deposits since July 2009. With respect to the yield limitations, it is possible that the Bank could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by the Bank.
|
Ø
|
During the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall limit its asset growth to 10% per year, unless the FDIC and the OFR consent to greater growth. Under the recently adopted strategic plan, the growth percentage will not exceed these growth parameters.
|
Ø
|
While the Consent Order is in effect, the Bank shall not declare or pay dividends, or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank has never paid a dividend to the holding company.
|

|
Ø
|
Within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter, the Bank shall furnish written progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR detailing the form, manner, and results of any actions taken to secure compliance. The Bank has, and will continue to prepare and submit such reports.
|
On February 2, 2011, the Bank received a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”), effective as of January 28, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC issued the Directive due to the Bank’s failure to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, the deteriorating condition of the Bank and management’s failure to improve the condition of the Bank. The Directive requires that: (1) within 30 days of the Effective Date (by February 27, 2011), the Bank must comply with the requirements of its Consent Order by attaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 11% and (2) within 10 days of the Effective Date (extended to February 11, 2011) submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, which expressly provides that the Bank will attain such capital levels. An updated capital restoration plan was submitted on February 11, 2011; however, the Bank has not been able to comply with the required capital ratios.
The Directive further requires that if the Bank does not increase its capital to such levels by February 27, 2011, the Bank must take any necessary action for the Bank to be acquired by, or merged into, another financial institution.
If the Bank fails to satisfy the requirements of the Directive, it is likely that the FDIC or the Florida Office of Financial Regulation will take further regulatory enforcement action against the Bank, including the closure of the Bank and the placement of it into receivership with the FDIC.
The Directive also prohibits the Bank from: (1) making any payments on its subordinated debt or paying any capital distributions or dividends; (2) providing certain compensation to senior executive officers or excessive compensation or bonuses generally; (3) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (4) paying interest on deposits in excess of FDIC-established market rates; and (5) acquiring any interest in any company, establishing any branches, engaging in any new line of business, entering into any material transaction outside the ordinary course of business, extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction, amending its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, materially changing its accounting methods, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates (including the holding company), without the FDIC’s prior approval. Furthermore, the Directive requires the Bank to alter, reduce or terminate any activity the FDIC determines poses excessive risk to the Bank.

|
Subsequent Events
|
|
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) recently completed the fieldwork for their joint examination of the Bank. As a result of the examination, the Bank, with the concurrence of the FDIC and OFR, will record an additional provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The range of additional losses to be recorded is $2.0 million to $2.7 million.

FPB Bancorp, Inc.
Port St. Lucie, Florida:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FPB Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s operating and capital requirements, along with recurring losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
