Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Accounting Policies

TIB Financial Corp. is a bank holding company headquartered in Naples, Florida, whose business is conducted primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank, The Bank of Venice, and Naples Capital Advisors, Inc.  Together with its subsidiaries, TIB Financial Corp. (collectively the “Company") has a total of twenty-eight full service banking offices in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Collier, Lee, and Sarasota counties, Florida.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation.  For further information and an additional description of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The consolidated statements include the accounts of TIB Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank, The Bank of Venice (subsequent to its acquisition on April 30, 2007), and Naples Capital Advisors, Inc. (“NCA”; subsequent to its acquisition on January 2, 2008).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Certain amounts previously reported on have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The share and per share amounts discussed throughout this document have been adjusted to account for the effects of four one percent stock dividends distributed July 17, 2008, October 10, 2008,  January 10, 2009 and April 10,  2009  to shareholders of record on July 7, 2008,  September 30, 2008,  December 31, 2008 and March 31,  2009, respectively.

As used in this document, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TIB Financial,” and “Company” mean TIB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning) and the term “Banks” means TIB Bank and The Bank of Venice.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, which is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectiblity of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  Management estimates the allowance balance required based on factors including past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract.  Individual commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management are individually evaluated for impairment.  If a loan is considered to be impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Generally, large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer, indirect, and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Investment Securities and Other Than Temporary Impairment

Investment securities which management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost.  Debt securities which may be sold prior to maturity are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Other securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost and are included in other assets on the balance sheets.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

7

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options,  warrants and restricted shares computed using the treasury stock method.

Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses and earnings per common share is included in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for its business combinations based on the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to determine the fair value of the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. The fair values may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair value estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different fair value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) finalized Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”.  This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement.  The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement.  This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  Upon adoption on January 1, 2008, the company recorded a charge to beginning retained earnings of $141.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141(R)”), which revises Statement 141. FAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption on January 1, 2009, as required, did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. FAS 141(R) was applied in accounting for the Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast ("Riverside") acquisition and will impact future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FAS 160”), which requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, FAS 160 requires that transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests be treated as equity transactions. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption on January 1, 2009, as required, did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related items are accounted for under Statement 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and adoptions, as required, did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162 “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The new standard became effective November 15, 2008 and adoption, as required, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 99-20-1 which amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance. The FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and was required to be applied prospectively. Adoption, as required, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” This FASB staff position amends FASB Statement No. 107 to require disclosures about fair values of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. The staff position also amends APB Opinion No. 28 to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FASB staff position becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management believes adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

8

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” This FASB staff position amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for debt securities. If an entity determines that it has an other-than-temporary impairment on a security, it must recognize the credit loss on the security in the income statement. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. The staff position expands disclosures about other-than-temporary impairment and requires that the annual disclosures in FASB Statement No. 115 and FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 be made for interim reporting periods. This FASB staff position becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is still in the process of evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial position. However, management believes that adoption will not have a material impact on the results of operations of the Company.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” This FASB staff position provides additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability. A significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability is an indication that transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value because transactions may not be orderly. In that circumstance, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and an adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value. This FASB staff position becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management believes adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 111 (“SAB 111”). SAB 111 amends Topic 5.M. in the Staff Accounting Bulletin series entitled “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments Debt and Equity Securities.” On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” SAB 111 maintains the previous views related to equity securities and amends Topic 5.M. to exclude debt securities from its scope. SAB 111 is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2009. Management is still in the process of evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial position. However, management believes that adoption will not have a material impact on the results of operations of the Company.

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share and Common Stock

Earnings per share have been computed based on the following weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2009	2008
Basic	14,509,694	13,548,402
Dilutive effect of options outstanding	-	-
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock awards	-	-
Dilutive effect of warrants	-	-
Diluted	14,509,694	13,548,402

The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants and the dilutive effect of unvested restricted shares are the only common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.

Weighted average anti-dilutive stock options and warrants and unvested restricted shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2009	2008
Anti-dilutive stock options	686,161	690,584
Anti-dilutive unvested restricted stock awards	92,358	88,485
Anti-dilutive warrants	2,333,314	329,335

Note 6 – Capital Adequacy

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements result in certain discretionary actions by regulators that could have an effect on the Company’s operations. The regulations require the Company and the Banks to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

To be considered well capitalized and adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Banks must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios. These minimum ratios along with the actual ratios for the Company and the Banks at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, are presented in the following table.

	Well Capitalized Requirement			Adequately Capitalized Requirement			March 31, 2009 Actual			December 31, 2008 Actual
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)
Consolidated		N/A			≥ 4.0	%		6.9	%		8.9	%

Note 7. – Acquisition

On February 13, 2009, the Company purchased the deposits of Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast (“Riverside”), a failed bank based in Cape Coral, Florida, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for a deposit premium of approximately $4,100, representing 1.3% of deposits.  Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Riverside were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and are included in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2009. Purchase accounting adjustments will be amortized or accreted into income over the estimated lives of the related assets and liabilities. The Company is currently in the process of refining its estimates of the fair values of tax deductible intangible assets acquired. Currently, the estimated value of tax deductible intangible assets approximates $6.3 million.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	281,181
Securities available for sale		31,850
Loans		1,004
Intangible assets		6,285
Other		274
Total assets acquired	$	320,594
Deposits (including deposit premium on certificates of deposit)		319,232
Other liabilities		1,362
Total liabilities assumed	$	320,594

Riverside operated from nine branch banking offices of which eight were owned and one was leased. The Company has an option to assume the lease for the leased office and to purchase the eight owned offices for fair value which is to be determined by appraisal.  As a result of this transaction, the Company expects to expand its customer base in Southwest Florida.

Note 8. – Fair Value

FASB Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by 1) obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges when available (Level 1 inputs), 2) matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs) and 3) for collateralized debt obligations, custom discounted cash flow modeling (Level 3 inputs).

Valuation of collateralized debt securities

As of March 31, 2009, the Company owned three collateralized debt obligations where the underlying collateral is comprised primarily of corporate debt obligations of homebuilders, REITs, real estate companies and commercial mortgage backed securities. The company also owned a collateralized debt security where the underlying collateral is comprised primarily of trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies. The inputs used in determining the estimated fair value of these securities are Level 3 inputs. In determining their estimated fair value, management utilizes a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach. Discount rates utilized in the modeling of these securities are estimated based upon a variety of factors including the yield at issuance of similarly rated classes of comparably structured collateralized debt obligations. Cash flows utilized in the modeling of these securities were based upon actual default history of the underlying issuers and varying assumptions of estimated future defaults of issuers. The valuation approach for the collateralized debt obligations did not change during 2009.

Valuation of Impaired loans

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $60,783, with a valuation allowance of $7,947 as of March 31, 2009. As a result, $2,093 of the allowance for loan losses was specifically allocated to these loans during the first quarter of 2009. The amounts of the specific allocations for impairment are considered in the overall determination of the reserve and provision for loan losses. As of December 31, 2008, impaired loans had a carrying amount of $53,765, with a valuation allowance of $6,116.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and as such may involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of TIB Financial Corp. (the "Company") to be materially different from future results described in such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:  the effects of future economic conditions; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, and interest rate risks; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, consumer finance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere.  All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of March 31, 2009, and statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009. TIB Financial’s results of operations during 2009 include the operations of The Bank of Venice and Naples Capital Advisors subsequent to their acquisitions on April 30, 2007 and January 2, 2008, respectively, as well as the operations of nine former branches of Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast (“Riverside”) subsequent to their assumption on February 13, 2009.

Quarterly Summary

For the first quarter of 2009, the Company reported a net loss before dividends on preferred stock of $3.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. The net loss allocated to common shareholders was $4.2 million, or $0.29 per share, for the first quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss of $0.11 per share for the comparable 2008 quarter.

The higher net loss for the first quarter of 2009 compared to net loss during the first quarter of 2008 was due to the increased provision for loan losses, higher non-interest expenses and a lower net interest margin, net interest income and non-interest income.

In response to the increase in non-performing loans and further contraction of economic activity in local markets and increased net charge-offs, the first quarter results include a provision for loan losses of $5.3 million. The provision reflects net charge-offs of $3.6 million and an increase in the reserve for loan losses of $1.7 million, to $25.5 million, or 2.09% of loans at March 31, 2009.

Of the loans placed on nonaccrual during the quarter, $4.8 million related to one commercial land development loan which we currently have reviewed and determined that no specific reserve is necessary at this time. The balance of the loans placed on nonaccrual are comprised of seventeen smaller commercial, commercial real estate and residential loans.

TIB Financial also reported total assets of $1.84 billion as of March 31, 2009, representing 14% asset growth from December 31, 2008. Total loans remained flat at $1.22 billion as a $10.2 million decline in indirect auto loans offset increases in our commercial and residential portfolios. Total deposits of $1.44 billion as of March 31, 2009 increased $300.8 million, or 26%, from December 31, 2008 due to the assumption of approximately $317 million of deposits and the operations of nine branches of the former Riverside from the FDIC.

The assumption of the deposits of the former Riverside presented a highly attractive strategic opportunity that significantly increased our Southwest Florida presence, market share and franchise value. The acquisition strengthens our presence in the Naples, Fort Myers and Venice markets and provides a strong entrance into the contiguous Cape Coral community.  The Riverside transaction deployed a significant portion of the capital we raised through the issuance of preferred stock to the United States Treasury in December last year. The transaction also generated a substantial increase in liquidity which allowed us to reduce our wholesale funding by $114 million by paying off maturing FHLB borrowings and brokered deposits.

As we aggressively address the challenges presented by the current economic and operating environment we continue to focus on new business initiatives, improvement of operating performance and resolution of non-performing assets. Significant developments are outlined below.

·   Under challenging and declining investment markets, Naples Capital Advisors and TIB Bank’s trust department continued to establish new investment management and trust relationships increasing the market value of assets under management to $99 million as of quarter end while TIB private bankers developed new deposit relationships during the quarter of $14 million.

·   Our indirect auto loan portfolio declined $10.2 million during the quarter to $71.9 million, or 6% of total loans. Non-performing loans in this business segment decreased to $1.7 million in comparison to $1.9 million at December 31, 2008 and charge-offs during the quarter declined to $2.2 million compared to $2.3 million in the fourth quarter. Unsold repossessed vehicles declined to $407,000 from $601,000 at year end. Additionally, delinquency of indirect auto loans declined to 7% at quarter end down from 9% at year end.

·   The net interest margin declined to 2.65% during the quarter in comparison to the 2.85% in the fourth quarter of 2008 due primarily to the impact of the acquisition of the Riverside deposits.  Initially, approximately $280 million of cash was received in the transaction which was temporarily invested in short-term and cash equivalent investments. $114 million was later utilized in March to pay down maturing wholesale funding and approximately $160 million was invested in higher yielding investment securities. Only $1 million of loans were acquired in the initial transaction. The impact of nonaccrual loans reduced the margin by approximately 15 basis points.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Results of Operations

For the first quarter of 2009, our operations resulted in a net loss before dividends on preferred stock of $3.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in the previous year’s quarter.  Loss allocated to common shareholders was $0.29 per share for the 2009 quarter as compared a net loss of $0.11 per share for the comparable 2008 quarter.

Annualized loss on average assets allocated to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 was 0.95% compared to a loss on average assets of 0.39% for the first quarter of 2008.  Loss on average shareholders’ equity was 11.56% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to a loss of 5.83% for the same quarter of 2008.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Our interest-earning assets include loans, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and investment securities.  Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, federal funds purchased, subordinated debentures, advances from the FHLB and other short term borrowings.

Net interest income was approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease from the $10.9 million reported for the same period last year, due principally to the decline in the net interest margin to 2.65% from 3.13%.  The decline in net interest margin is primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of the deposits and operations of nine former Riverside branches and associated assets combined with the higher levels of non-performing loans and cash, cash equivalents and short-term, highly liquid and lower yielding securities maintained during the first quarter of 2009.Upon closing of the transaction, execution of our investment plan included purchasing intermediate maturity investment securities and maintaining a significant balance of lower yielding money market and cash equivalent securities to reduce wholesale funding. The intermediate term investments are intended to maintain available liquidity to redeploy as loans to local consumers and businesses. The maintenance of this higher level of lower yielding short-term liquid assets and intermediate investment securities has reduced the net interest margin. We estimate that the assumption of the Riverside deposits and the initial investment of the significant cash proceeds generated no net interest income during the first quarter because the interest cost of the deposits exceeded the yield of the initial investments made. As a result of our repricing of a portion of the assumed deposits, the $114 million reduction of wholesale funding in March and the income from our investment strategy, we estimate that net interest income will be generated from the Riverside transaction beginning in the second quarter.

The $2.1 million decrease in interest and dividend income for the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008 was mainly attributable to decreased average rates on loan balances due primarily to the 400 basis point decrease in the prime and fed funds sold rates combined with a higher level of non-performing loans.  Offsetting this decline were decreases in the interest cost of transaction accounts and borrowings due to commensurate decreases in deposit interest rates.  Increases in balances led to an increase in interest expense on time and savings deposits. The decrease in interest expense on short term borrowings was partially offset by increased balances.

Interest rates during the first quarter of 2009 were significantly lower than the prior year period due to highly stimulative monetary policies undertaken by the Federal Reserve beginning in the third quarter of 2007. As a result of the actions taken by the Federal Reserve, the prime rate declined from 7.25% in the first quarter of 2008 to 3.25% in first quarter of 2009.

Due to the rapid and significant decline in the prime rate and the overall interest rate environment, the yield on our loans declined 122 basis points and the yield of our interest earning assets declined 148 basis points in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.

The lower interest rate environment also resulted in a significant decline in the interest cost of interest bearing liabilities.  The average interest cost of interest bearing deposits declined 110 basis points and the overall cost of interest bearing liabilities declined by 121 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2008.  Due to the rapidly declining interest rate environment and highly competitive deposit pricing on a local and national basis, we were not able to reduce the cost of our deposits as quickly and to the same extent as the decline in our earning asset yield.

Going forward, we expect short-term market interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time.  We expect deposit costs to continue to decline but they may decrease more slowly or to a lesser extent than loan and investment yields, or they could increase due to strong demand in the financial markets and banking system for liquidity which may be reflected in elevated pricing competition for deposits.  In the current interest rate environment, we believe that our interest margin will continue to be under pressure.  The predominant drivers to increase net interest income are the composition of earning assets and the overall growth of our balance sheet.  Although the timing and possible effects of future changes in interest rates could be significant, we expect any such impact to continue to be less in extent than the changes in earning asset composition and overall balance sheet size.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $2.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan losses in 2009 reflects the continued financial challenges of our consumer and commercial customers. While we continue to see an increase in the number of real estate unit sales as compared to the prior year period and even the prior quarter, the impact of foreclosures and distressed sales is evident in the value of real estate. Additionally, we experienced higher levels of non-performing loans and delinquencies and higher levels of net charge-offs. Net charge-offs were $3.6 million, or 1.19% of average loans on an annualized basis, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $1.8 million, or 0.63% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the same period in 2008. The charge-offs resulting from the indirect loan portfolio were $2.2 million and $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Our provision for loan losses in future periods will be influenced by the loss potential of non-performing loans and net charge offs, which cannot be reasonably predicted.

The indirect loan portfolio experienced sharp increases, beyond our historical experience, in delinquencies beginning in the second half of 2007. This increase in delinquency reflects, in part, the significant increase in unemployment in the Fort Myers, Lee County area where our indirect auto loans are concentrated. In response, our collection and liquidation operations accelerated dramatically, resulting in substantially all of our vehicles being disposed of through wholesale rather than retail channels. Contemporaneously, the market for used vehicles became increasingly saturated and a surge in fuel prices reduced demand for used vehicles, and especially so for the less fuel efficient vehicles like light trucks and sport utility vehicles. These factors combined to lower our realization upon disposition on a per vehicle basis and increase the volume and severity of the losses incurred during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.

We continuously monitor and actively manage the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. Due to the economic slowdown discussed above, both individual and business customers are exhibiting increasing difficulty in timely payment of their loan obligations. We believe that this trend may continue in the near term. Consequently, we may experience higher levels of delinquent and non-performing loans, which may require higher provisions for loan losses, higher charge-offs and higher collection related expenses in future periods.

  Non-interest Income

           Excluding net gains on investment securities, non-interest income was $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase is due primarily to higher deposit service charges and investment advisory fees, partially offset by lower fees due to lower sales of residential loans in the secondary market. The former Riverside operations contributed $357,000 of service charge and other income during the period.

The following table represents the principal components of non-interest income for the first quarter of 2009 and 2008:

(Dollars in thousands)	2009		2008
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	966	$	722

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $13.4 million.  This represented a 3% increase over the prior year period which totaled $13.0 million.   The first quarter non-interest expense includes approximately $905,000 attributable to the former Riverside operations.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 relative to the first quarter of 2008.  Salaries and employee benefits of $316,000 in the first quarter of 2009 reflect the hiring of new employees in connection with the Riverside transaction.  Unrelated severance costs accounted for approximately $674,000 of the first quarter 2009 increase.  The balance of the increase reflects cost of living adjustments and merit increases for our employees.

For the first quarter of 2009, there was a $138,000 increase in occupancy expense as compared to the first quarter of 2008.  Excluding the $213,000 of occupancy costs related to the operations of the former Riverside branch network and facilities, the Company would have had a $75,000 decrease in occupancy costs for the quarter.  This decrease is a result of our continued focus on consolidating facilities and containing operating costs.

Other expenses declined $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 relative to the first quarter of 2008.  The first quarter of 2008 included $1.2 million in write-downs of repossessed vehicles and related assets and approximately $294,000 of consulting costs attributable to the restructuring of our indirect lending operations.  The first quarter of 2009 includes $376,000 in other expenses attributable to the former Riverside operations and an increase in the cost of FDIC insurance assessments of $224,000 relative to the first quarter of 2008 due to a higher amount of deposits and a higher insurance premium charge.

The FDIC has proposed an additional deposit insurance assessment of up to 20 basis points that would be assessed as of June 30, 2009 and paid September 30, 2009. If certain congressional legislation providing for an increased line of credit for the FDIC from the U.S. Treasury Department is enacted, the FDIC has indicated that this proposed assessment could be reduced to approximately 10 basis points. The projected added deposit insurance cost would be $1.4 million to $2.8 million based upon the current proposals by the FDIC.

Balance Sheet

Total assets at March 31, 2009 were $1.84 billion, an increase of $226.4 million or 14%, from total assets of $1.61 billion at December 31, 2008.  Total loans outstanding decreased $4.9 million, or 0.4%, to $1.22 billion during the first three months of 2009 from year end 2008.  Also, in the same period, investment securities increased $241.2 million. The increase in assets and investment securities during the first quarter of 2009 was primarily due to cash and investment securities acquired in connection with the Riverside transaction, partially offset by reductions in FHLB advances and brokered deposits.

At March 31, 2009 advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $132.9 million, a $70.0 million decrease from $202.9 million at December 31, 2008.  Total deposits of $1.44 billion as of March 31, 2009 increased $300.8 million, or 26.5%, from December 31, 2008. This increase is due primarily to the assumption of $317.0 million of deposits from the operations of former Riverside.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $117.9 million at March 31, 2009, decreasing $3.3 million from December 31, 2008. Book value per common share decreased to $5.80 at March 31, 2009 from $6.04 at December 31, 2008.  The Company declared a 1% stock dividend in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2008 and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0601 per share in the first quarter of 2008.  The Company also declared a 1% stock dividend in the first quarter of 2009.

Investment Securities

During the first quarter of 2009 and 2008, we realized net gains of $618,000 and $910,000 relating to sales of approximately $25.7 million and $25.0 million of available for sale securities, respectively. The reinvestment of the proceeds from the sales in the first quarter of 2009, along with the investment of the proceeds from the Riverside transaction, resulted in a $241.2 million increase in investment securities to $467.0 million as of March 31, 2009. The new securities are primarily intermediate-term investments intended to maintain available liquidity to redeploy as loans to local consumers and businesses. Additionally, a significant portion of these securities were lower yielding money market and cash equivalent securities which were utilized to reduce wholesale funding in March and April of 2009.

As previously described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008, as of March 31, 2009, the Company owns four collateralized debt obligation investment securities (three backed primarily by corporate debt obligations of homebuilders, REITs, real estate companies and commercial mortgage backed securities and the fourth backed by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies) with an aggregate original cost of $15.0 million.  In determining the estimated fair value of these securities, management utilizes a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach which is discussed in greater detail in Note 8 - - Fair Value. These securities are floating rate securities which were rated "A" or better by an independent and nationally recognized rating agency at the time of purchase. At various dates during 2007, 2008 and 2009, due to ratings downgrades, changes in estimates of future cash flows and the amounts of unrealized loss, management concluded that the losses of value for the homebuilder, REIT, real estate company and commercial mortgage backed securities collateralized debt obligations were other than temporary under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the Company wrote these investment securities down at various dates to their estimated fair value. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recognized approximately $23,000 of such write-downs. No other than temporary impairment write downs were recorded in the comparable 2008 period. These write downs, including the write down of two of these securities to $0 in 2008, resulted in the recognition of cumulative other than temporary impairment losses of $9.3 million through March 31, 2009. During 2009, the estimated fair value of the security backed by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies declined further due to the occurrence of additional defaults by certain underlying issuers and changes in the estimated timing of the future cash flow and discount rate assumptions used to estimate the value of these securities. As of March 31, 2009, management concluded that the further declines in values do not meet the definition of other than temporary under generally accepted accounting principles.

As these securities are not readily marketable and there have been no observable transactions involving substantially similar securities, estimates of future cash flows, levels and timing of future default and assumptions of applicable discount rates are highly subjective and have a material impact on the estimated fair value of these securities. These estimates may fluctuate significantly from period to period based upon actual occurrence of future events of default, recovery, and changes in expectations of assumed future levels of default and discount rates applied.

We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity. Future declines in the fair value of these or other securities may result in the determination that the impairment is other than temporary and additional impairment charges which may be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Loan Portfolio Composition

Two of the most significant components of our loan portfolio are classified in the notes to the accompanying unaudited financial statements as commercial real estate and construction and vacant land. Our goal of maintaining high standards of credit quality include a strategy of diversification of loan type and purpose within these categories. The following charts illustrate the composition of these portfolios as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and investment securities, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, repossessed personal property, and other real estate.  Loans and investments in debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the principal and interest and generally when loans are 90 days past due.  A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract.

 Non-performing assets are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31,  2009			December 31, 2008

(b)   In 1998, TIB Bank made a $10.0 million loan to construct a lumber mill in northern Florida. Of this amount, $6.4 million had been sold by the Bank to other lenders. The loan was 80% guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In addition to business real estate and equipment, the loan was collateralized by the business owner’s interest in a trust. Under provisions of the trust agreement, beneficiaries cannot receive trust assets until November 2010.

The portion of this loan guaranteed by the USDA and held by us was approximately $1.6 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the USDA paid the Company the principal and accrued interest and allowed the Company to apply other proceeds previously received to capitalized liquidation costs and protective advances. The non-guaranteed principal and interest ($2.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008) and the reimbursable capitalized liquidation costs and protective advance costs totaling approximately $116,000 and $112,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included as “other assets” in the financial statements.

Florida law requires a bank to liquidate or charge off repossessed real property within five years, and repossessed personal property within six months. Since the property had not been liquidated during this period, the Bank charged-off the non guaranteed principal and interest totaling $2.0 million at June 30, 2003, for regulatory purposes.  Since we believe this amount is ultimately realizable, we did not write off this amount for financial statement purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio and amounted to approximately $25.5 million and $23.8 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Our formalized process for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any, for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income, includes both individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses.  Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on loan relationships of a significant size, or when otherwise deemed necessary, and primarily encompass commercial real estate and other commercial loans.  The result is that commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are classified into the following risk categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard or Loss.  The allowance consists of specific and general components. When appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or worse. Otherwise, we allocate an allowance for each risk category.  The allocations are based on factors including historical loss rate, perceived economic conditions (local, national and global), perceived strength of our management, recent trends in loan loss history, and concentrations of credit.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Generally, individual, residential mortgage, commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is considered to be impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the carrying value of the loan is reported at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Impaired loans are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2009		December 31, 2008
Loans with no allocated allowance for loan losses	$	27,289	$	8,344
Loans with allocated allowance for loan losses		60,783		53,765
Total	$	88,072	$	62,109
Amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated	$	7,947	$	6,116

Indirect auto loans and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually and or separately identified for impairment disclosures.  These loans are grouped into pools and assigned risk categories based on their current payment status and management’s assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans.  As above, when appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans.  Otherwise, we allocate an allowance for each loan classification.  The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above.

Based on an analysis performed by management at March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses is considered to be adequate to cover estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, management’s judgment is based upon our recent historical loss experience, the level of non-performing and delinquent loans, information known today and a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid.  Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that significant additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Capital and Liquidity

Capital

The Company's policy is to maintain capital in excess of the levels required to be Well Capitalized for regulatory purposes.  As of March 31, 2009, the ratio of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets was 10.4% and the leverage ratio was 6.9%. The decrease from the 12.6% and 8.9% reported as of December 31, 2008 is related to the increase in risk weighted assets and total average assets due to the growth of our assets and current year net loss.

On December 5, 2008, under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s (the “Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) established under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the “TARP”) that was created as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”), the Company issued to Treasury 37,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, $0.10 par value, having a liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase 1,084,589 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.12 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $37.0 million. Approximately $32.9 million was allocated to the initial carrying value of the preferred stock and $4.1 million to the warrant based on their relative estimated fair values on the issue date. The difference between the initial carrying value of the preferred stock and the $37.0 million full redemption value will be accreted over five years and reported as preferred stock discount accretion. During the first quarter of 2009, $245,000 of accretion and $463,000 of dividend was recorded. The total capital raised through this issue qualifies as Tier 1 regulatory capital and can be used in calculating all regulatory capital ratios.

Cumulative preferred stock dividends are payable quarterly at a 5% annual rate on the per share liquidation amount for the first five years and 9% thereafter. Under the original terms of the CPP, the Company may not redeem the preferred stock for three years unless it finances the redemption with the net cash proceeds from sales of common or preferred stock that qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital (qualified equity offering), and only once such proceeds total at least $9.2 million. All redemptions, whether before or after the first three years, would be at the liquidation amount per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and are subject to prior regulatory approval.

The Company may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock or, with certain exceptions, repurchase common stock without first having paid all accrued cumulative preferred dividends that are due. For three years from the issue date, the Company also may not increase its common stock dividend rate above a quarterly rate of $.06 per share or repurchase its common shares without Treasury’s consent, unless Treasury has transferred all the preferred shares to third parties or the preferred stock has been redeemed.

Treasury may only transfer or exercise an aggregate of one-half of the original number of shares underlying the warrant before December 31, 2009. If, before that date, the Company receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than $37.0 million from a qualified equity offering, then the remaining number of shares issuable to Treasury upon exercise of the warrant will be reduced by one-half of the original number of shares under warrant. Both the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in accordance with customary anti-dilution provisions and upon certain issuances of the Company’s common stock or stock rights at less than 90% of market value

To be eligible for the CPP, the Company has also agreed to comply with certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of the EESA, including a limit on the tax deductibility of executive compensation above $500,000. The specific rules covering these requirements are being developed by Treasury and other government agencies. Additionally, under the EESA, Congress has the ability to impose “after-the-fact” terms and conditions on participants in the CPP. As a participant in the CPP, the Company may be subject to any such retroactive terms and conditions. The Company cannot predict whether, or in what form, additional terms or conditions may be imposed

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the “ARRA”) became law on February 17, 2009. Among its many provisions, the ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future TARP recipients, including the Company, that are in addition to those previously announced by the Treasury. These limits are effective until the institution has repaid the Treasury, which is now permitted under the ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.

While the Company believes that its and the Banks’ capital resources are adequate at this time, the Company and the Banks may reduce their assets or change the mix of their assets to strengthen their regulatory capital ratios. In addition, due to the contracting economic conditions, the higher level of nonperforming assets, general regulatory initiatives to increase capital levels and the potential for further operating losses, the Company is evaluating its capital position and opportunities to increase its capital. This may result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock.

Liquidity

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit withdrawal needs of the Company’s customers.  We manage the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available at all times.

In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, we maintain adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities, short term investments such as federal funds sold and unused borrowing capacity.  The Banks have invested in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The credit availability to the Banks is based on a percentage of the Banks’ total assets as reported in their most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the Federal Home Loan Bank and subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral.  At March 31, 2009, there were $132.9 million in advances outstanding in addition to $25.3 million in letters of credit including $25.0 million used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida to collateralize governmental deposits.  As of March 31, 2009, collateral availability under our agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank provides for total borrowings of up to approximately $231.8 million of which $73.6 million is available.

The Banks have unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodations up to a maximum of $28.0 million from their correspondent banks. We continue to monitor our liquidity position as part of our asset-liability management. We believe that we have adequate funding sources through brokered deposits, unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB, loan principal repayment and potential asset maturities and sales to meet our foreseeable liquidity requirements.

During the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 1% (one percent) stock dividend to holders of record as of July 7, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 respectively. The stock dividends were distributed on July 17, 2008, October 10, 2008, January 10, 2009 and April 10, 2009. The decision to replace our quarterly cash dividend with a stock dividend was made after consideration of the current and projected economic and operating environment, to conserve cash and capital resources at the holding company to support the potential capital needs of the Banks and our desire to maintain the well capitalized position of the Company, TIB Bank and The Bank of Venice. Both banks and the holding company currently exceed all regulatory requirements to meet the definition of well-capitalized. We understand that cash dividends are an important component of investment return to our shareholders, but believe this is a prudent measure to help sustain our strong capital position and improve future shareholder value. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the amount of our quarterly dividend and our dividend policy in light of current and expected trends in our financial performance and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2009, our holding company had cash of approximately $5.1 million. This cash is available for providing capital support to the subsidiary banks, the payment of interest on our trust preferred debt securities, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and for other general corporate purposes. During the first quarter of 2009, the holding company invested $17.0 million of capital in TIB Bank.

Asset and Liability Management

Closely related to liquidity management is the management of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company manages its interest rate sensitivity position to manage net interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates. We review and evaluate our gap position as presented below as part of our asset and liability management process.

(Dollars in thousands)	3 Months or Less			4 to 6 Months			7 to 12 Months			1 to 5 Years			Over 5 Years			Total
Interest-earning assets:

Total interest-bearing liabilities		819,466			168,975			266,577			256,373			8,000			1,519,391
Interest sensitivity gap	$	(312,741	)	$	(83,586	)	$	(172,176	)	$	393,728		$	386,655		$	211,880

Cumulative sensitivity ratio		(18.1	%)		(22.9	%)		(32.8	%)		(10.1	%)		12.2	%		12.2	%

We are cumulatively liability sensitive through the five-year time period, and asset sensitive in the over five year timeframe above.  Certain liabilities such as non-indexed NOW and savings accounts, while technically subject to immediate re-pricing in response to changing market rates, historically do not re-price as quickly or to the extent as other interest-sensitive accounts.  Due to the rapidly declining interest rate environment and highly competitive deposit pricing recently  we have not been able to reduce the cost of our deposits as quickly and to the same extent as the decline in our earning asset yield. Approximately 13% of our deposit funding is comprised of non-interest-bearing liabilities and total interest-earning assets are substantially greater than the total interest-bearing liabilities. Therefore it is anticipated that, over time, the effects on net interest income from changes in asset yield will be greater than the change in expense from liability cost.  Increases in the level of non-performing assets would have a negative impact on our net interest margin. We expect short-term interest rates will remain low for an extended period of time and our interest margin will continue to be under pressure.

Interest-earning assets and time deposits are presented based on their contractual terms.  It is anticipated that run off in any deposit category will be approximately offset by new deposit generation.

24

We employ a financial model derived from our assets and liabilities which simulates the effect of various changes in interest rates on our projected net interest income. This financial model is our principal tool for measuring and managing interest rate risk. Many assumptions regarding the timing and sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to a change in interest rates are made. We continually review and update these assumptions. This model is updated monthly for changes in our assets and liabilities and we model different interest rate scenarios based upon current and projected economic and interest rate conditions. We analyze the results of these simulations and develop tactics and strategies to attempt to mitigate, where possible, the projected unfavorable impact of various interest rate scenarios on our projected net interest income. We also develop tactics and strategies to increase our net interest margin and net interest income that are consistent with our operating policies.

Commitments

The Banks are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Banks’ exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments.  The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and generally use the same credit policies for letters of credit as they do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Since some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. At March 31, 2009, total unfunded loan commitments were approximately $84.9 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to assure the performance or financial obligations of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The Banks generally hold collateral and/or obtain personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  Since most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2009, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $3.0 million.

The Company believes the likelihood of the unfunded loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit either needing to be totally funded or funded at the same time is low.  However, should significant funding requirements occur, we have available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed in the “Capital and Liquidity” section above.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices.  The Company has assessed its market risk as predominately interest rate risk.

The interest rate risk as of March 31, 2009 was analyzed using simulation analysis of the Company’s sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates.  The Banks use standardized assumptions run against Bank data by an outsourced provider of Asset Liability modeling.  The model derives expected interest income and interest expense resulting from an immediate +/- 2% parallel shift in the yield curve. The +/- steepening/twist of the yield curve is “ramped” over a twelve month period.  The standard parallel yield curve shift is used to estimate risk related to the level of interest rates, while the non-parallel yield curve twist is used to estimate risk related to the level of interest rates and changes in the slope of the yield curve.  

Yield curve twists change both the level and slope of the yield curve and are more realistic than parallel yield curve shifts and are more useful for planning purposes.  As an example, a 50 basis point yield twist increase would result in short term rates remaining flat and long term rates increasing approximately 50 basis points over a 12 month period.  Given the current interest rate environment, a 50 basis point yield curve twist increase is considered reasonable.

The analysis indicates a 200 basis point parallel interest rate increase would result in a decrease in net interest income of approximately $1,630,000 or

 -3% over a twelve month period.  While a 200 basis point parallel interest rate decrease would result in an increase in net interest income of approximately $2,705,000 or 5% over a twelve month period.  Additionally, a 50 basis point yield curve twist increase would result in an increase in net interest income of approximately $569,000 or 1% over a twelve month period.

The projected impact on our net interest income of a 200 basis point parallel increase and decrease, respectively, of the yield curve and a 50 basis point yield curve twist increase of long-term rates are summarized below.

	March 31, 2009
	Parallel Shift			Twist
Twelve Month Period		-2%              +2	%		+0.5%
Percentage change in net interest  income		+5%              -3	%		+1%

We attempt to manage and moderate the variability of our net interest income due to changes in the level of interest rates and the slope of the yield curve by generating adjustable rate loans and managing the interest rate sensitivity of our investment securities, wholesale funding, and Fed Funds positions consistent with the re-pricing characteristics of our deposits and other interest bearing liabilities.
