CenterState Banks of Florida, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1:     Holding company and subsidiaries background information

     CenterState Banks of Florida, Inc (the “Company”) is a multi-bank holding company that was formed as part of a merger of three independent commercial banks in Central Florida (First National Bank of Osceola County, Community National Bank of Pasco County and First National Bank of Polk County). First National Bank of Osceola County is a national bank chartered in September 1989. It operates from three full service locations and one remote location within Osceola County and two full service locations in Orange County, which is contiguous with Osceola County. Community National Bank of Pasco County is a national bank chartered in November 1989. It operates from seven full service locations within Pasco and contiguous counties. First National Bank of Polk County is a national bank chartered in February 1992. It operates from four full service locations within Polk County. The Company, through its subsidiary banks, provides traditional deposit and lending products and services to its commercial and retail customers. The three banks maintain their separate identities as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

     C. S. Processing, Inc. is a majority owned (75%) subsidiary of the Company. The three wholly owned subsidiary banks of the Company each own 25%, and the remaining 25% is owned by a minority shareholder, another bank. The Company’s investment in the subsidiary to date is $330,000 and the minority shareholder contributed $110,000. C. S. Processing processes checks and renders statements (i.e. “item processing center”) for the Company’s three subsidiary banks and for Centerstate Bank (see note 6 below, merger with Centerstate Bank). Operations began during July 2001. The Company’s last subsidiary bank converted in April 2002. The subsidiary operates on a break-even basis. Its operating expenses are charged to each bank as fees based on the bank’s usage.

NOTE 2:     Basis of presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

NOTE 3:     Common stock outstanding and earnings per share data

     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods and the further dilution from stock options using the treasury method. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the periods presented (dollars are in thousands, except per share data).

NOTE 5:     Effect of new pronouncements

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations, and FASB Statement No. 38, Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises. All business combinations in the scope of this Statement are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of this Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This Statement also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

7


 

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Enterprises are required to adopt SFAS No. 142 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. As used in this Statement, a legal obligation results from existing law, statute, ordinance, written or oral contract, or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Enterprises are required to adopt SFAS No. 143 for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Management does not expect the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS 143 to significantly impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). This Statement also amends Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AT JUNE 30, 2002 AND DECEMBER 31, 2001

Overview

     Total assets of the Company were $367.4 million as of June 30, 2002, compared to $341.4 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $26 million or 7.6%. This increase was primarily the result of the Company’s internally generated loan growth funded by an increase in deposits.

Federal funds sold and money market

     Federal funds sold and money market was $34.6 million at June 30, 2002 as compared to $18.9 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $15.7 million or 83%. The Company has increased federal funds sold and money market, primarily due to the relatively low rate of yields offered on short term U.S. Treasury and government agency securities.

Investment securities

     Securities available-for-sale, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, were $40.8 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $44.0 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $3.2 million or 7.3%. These securities have been recorded at market value. The Company classifies its securities as “available-for-sale” to provide for greater flexibility to respond to changes in interest rates. The U.S. governmental agency security that was classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 2001 ($1.5 million) matured during February 2002. As of June 30, 2002, the Company does not own any investments classified as held-to-maturity.

Loans

     Total gross loans were $259.8 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $244.9 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $14.9 million or 6.1%. For the same period, real estate loans increased by $15.8 million or 8.3%, commercial loans increased by $1.9 million or 6.0%, and all other loans including consumer loans decreased by $2.8 million or 12%. Total loans net of unearned fees and allowance for loan losses were $256.1 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $241.3 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $14.8 million or 6.1%.

Credit quality and allowance for loan losses

     The Company’s allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses within the existing loan portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely. The allowance consists of amounts established for specific loans and is also based on historical loan loss experience. The specific reserve element is the result of a regular analysis of all loans and commitments based on credit rating classifications and other factors. Management also weighs general economic conditions based on knowledge of specific factors that may affect the collectibility of loans. At June 30, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $3.3 million or 1.26% of total loans outstanding, compared to $3.1 million or 1.26%, at December 31, 2001.

Nonperforming assets

     Nonperforming assets include (1) non-accrual loans; (2) accruing loans that are 90 days or more delinquent that are deemed by management to be adequately secured and in the process of collection; (3) OREO (i.e. real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (4) other repossessed assets (not real estate). All delinquent loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the possibility of collecting additional interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. As a matter of policy, interest is not accrued on loans past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Additional interest income on such loans is recognized only when received.

     The following table sets forth information regarding the components of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (in thousands of dollars).

     Management is continually analyzing its loan portfolio in an effort to recognize and resolve its problem assets as quickly and efficiently as possible. As of June 30, 2002, management believes that its allowance for loan losses was adequate. However, management recognizes that many factors can adversely impact various segments of its market. Accordingly, there is no assurance that losses in excess of such reserves will not be incurred.

Bank premises and equipment

     Bank premises and equipment was $14.9 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $14.8 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.7%.

     C. S. Processing, Inc.

     C. S. Processing, Inc. is a majority owned (75%) subsidiary of the Company. The three wholly owned subsidiary banks of the Company each own 25%, and the remaining 25% is owned by Centerstate Bank (see merger note 6, below). At June 30, 2002, the Company’s investment in the subsidiary to date was $330,000 and Centerstate Bank contributed $110,000. C. S. Processing processes checks and renders statements (i.e. “item processing center”) for the Company’s three subsidiary banks and for Centerstate Bank. Operations began during July 2001. The last subsidiary bank to convert did so in April 2002.

11


 

Deposits

     Total deposits were $334 million at June 30, 2002, compared to $308 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $26 million or 8.4%. During the six month period ended June 30, 2002, demand deposits increased by $10.8 million (20.0%), NOW deposits increased by $1.6 million (3.7%), savings and money market accounts increased by $2.5 million (3.2%), and time deposits increased by $11.1 million (8.3%).

Repurchase agreements

     The Company enters into agreements to repurchase securities under which the Company pledges investment securities owned and under its control as collateral against borrowed funds. These short-term borrowings totaled $4.1 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 10.9%.

Stockholders’ equity

     Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2002, was $28.3 million, or 7.7% of total assets, compared to $27.7 million, or 8.1% of total assets at December 31, 2001. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to year-to-date net income ($1.039 million) and stock options exercised ($47 thousand) less dividends paid ($282 thousand), and a net decrease in the market value of securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes ($187 thousand). The Company paid a dividend of $0.05 per share on March 29, 2002 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 15, 2002, and $0.05 per share on June 28, 2002 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2002.

     The Comptroller of the Currency has established risk-based capital requirements for national banks. These guidelines are intended to provide an additional measure of a bank’s capital adequacy by assigning weighted levels of risk to asset categories. Banks are also required to systematically maintain capital against such “off- balance sheet” activities as loans sold with recourse, loan commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. These guidelines are intended to strengthen the quality of capital by increasing the emphasis on common equity and restricting the amount of loan loss reserves and other forms of equity such as preferred stock that may be included in capital. As of June 30, 2002, each of the Company’s three subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum capital levels to be considered “Well Capitalized” under the terms of the guidelines.

     Selected consolidated capital ratios at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 are presented in the table below.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

Overview

     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $462 thousand or $0.16 per share basic and $0.16 per share diluted, compared to $599 thousand or $0.21 per share basic and $0.21 per share diluted for the same period in 2001. Data processing conversion expenses of approximately $234 thousand (approximately $146 thousand net of tax) was recognized during this period. If not for these data processing conversion expenses, net income would have been approximately $608 thousand or $0.22 per share basic and $0.21 per share diluted. Data processing conversion expense is discussed below under the topic of non interest expenses.

     The return on average equity (“ROE”), calculated on an annualized basis, for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 was 6.60%, as compared to 9.05% for the same period in 2001.

Net interest income/margin

     Net interest income increased $116 thousand or 3.4% to $3.517 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.401 million for the same period in 2001. The $116 thousand increase was the result of a $832 thousand decrease in interest income and a $948 thousand decrease in interest expense.

     Interest earning assets averaged $334.4 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $304.3 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $30.1 million, or 9.9%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 1.70% to 6.21% during the three month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to 7.91% for the same period in 2001. The combined net effects of the $30.1 million increase in average interest earning assets and the 1.70% decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $832 thousand decrease in interest income between the two periods.

     Interest bearing liabilities averaged $273.7 million during the three month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $252.2 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $21.5 million, or 8.5%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 1.71% to 2.44% during the three month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to 4.15% for the same period in 2001. The combined net effects of the $21.5 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 1.71% decrease in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $948 thousand decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

     The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. The provision was $169 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $141 thousand for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income

     Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $171 thousand, or 24.7%, to $863 thousand, compared to $692 thousand for the same period in 2001. A portion of the increase ($14 thousand) related to deposit account service charges. Item processing fees, net of inter-company fees (C. S. Processing,Inc. commenced operations in July 2001) increased by $16 thousand. Securities were sold resulting in a gain of $10 thousand. Commissions earned through “Money Concepts” (sale of mutual funds and annuities) increased approximately $35 thousand. The largest portion of the increase ($96 thousand) was related to other service charges and miscellaneous items. Non-interest income (annualized) as a percentage of total average assets was 0.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 0.84% for the same period in 2001.

Non-interest expense

     Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $464 thousand, or 15.5%, to $3.458 million, compared to $2.994 million for the same period in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $163 thousand (11.3%), occupancy and depreciation expenses increased by $101 thousand (16.4%), data processing expenses (includes item processing and conversion expenses) increased by $124 thousand (48.8%), and all remaining expenses together resulted in an increase of $76 thousand (11.1%).

     A new branch opened in September 2001, which contributed to higher salaries/employee benefits, data processing expense, and occupancy expenses.

     The Company’s new subsidiary, C. S. Processing opened in July 2001, which contributed to higher salaries/employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Because this function is now performed in house, data processing expense (exclusive of conversion expenses) decreased, and salary/employee benefits and occupancy expenses increased. The effect of the decrease in data processing was not apparent due to conversion expenses recognized by two of our three banks. The conversion expense relates to the conversion to a new core data processing service bureau. Approximately $234 thousand of data processing expense related to conversion expense was recognized during the three month period ending June 30, 2002. Without these conversion expenses, data processing expense would have decreased by $110 thousand instead of increase by $124 thousand.

     All three of the Company’s subsidiary banks have now completed their conversions as of April 2002. All three are now using the same service bureau for its core data processing, and the same general ledger with the same standard chart of accounts. In addition, all three subsidiary banks have also converted their item processing to the Company’s majority owned (75%) subsidiary. In addition to the expected future efficiencies and cost savings, management believes this strategy of control over the process will enhance the quality of the service provided the customer. Centestate Bank is currently using the same service bureau for its core data processing. Management does not expect to incur any significant additional data processing conversion expenses with regard to the proposed merger with Centerstate Bank.

Provision for income taxes

     The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $291 thousand (an effective rate of 38.6%) compared to $359 thousand (an effective rate of 37.5%) for the same period in 2001.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

Overview

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.039 million or $0.37 per share basic and $0.36 per share diluted, compared to $1.157 million or $0.41 per share basic and $0.41 per share diluted for the same period in 2001. Data processing conversion expenses of approximately $296 thousand (approximately $185 thousand net of tax) was recognized during this period. If not for these data processing conversion expenses, net income would have been approximately $1.224 million or $0.43 per share basic and $0.43 per share diluted. Data processing conversion expense is discussed below under the topic of non interest expenses.

     The return on average equity (“ROE”), calculated on an annualized basis, for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 was 7.41%, as compared to 8.92% for the same period in 2001.

     Net interest income increased $403 thousand or 6.1% to $7.044 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $6.641 million for the same period in 2001. The $403 thousand increase was the result of a $1.528 million decrease in interest income and a $1.931 million decrease in interest expense.

     Interest earning assets averaged $330.7 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $299.5 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $31.2 million, or 10.4%. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased 1.68% to 6.35% during the six month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to 8.03% for the same period in 2001. The combined net effects of the $31.2 million increase in average interest earning assets and the 1.68% decrease in yield on average interest earning assets resulted in the $1.528 million decrease in interest income between the two periods.

     Interest bearing liabilities averaged $273.3 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $250.0 million for the same period in 2001, an increase of $23.3 million, or 9.3%. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 1.78% to 2.53% during the six month period ended June 30, 2002, compared to 4.31% for the same period in 2001. The combined net effects of the $23.3 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and the 1.78% decrease in cost on average interest bearing liabilities resulted in the $1.931 million decrease in interest expense between the two periods.

Provision for loan losses

     The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. As these factors change, the level of loan loss provision changes. The provision was $349 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to $282 thousand for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income

     Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $341 thousand, or 24.0%, to $1.764 million, compared to $1.423 million for the same period in 2001. A portion of the increase ($20 thousand) related to deposit account service charges. Item processing fees, net of inter-company fees (C. S. Processing,Inc. commenced operations in July 2001) increased by $37 thousand. A strip of unused land next to one of the Company’s branches was sold resulting in a $20 thousand gain on the sale. Securities were sold resulting in a gain of $21 thousand. Commissions earned through “Money Concepts” (sale of mutual funds and annuities) increased approximately $75 thousand. The largest portion of the increase ($168 thousand) was related to other service charges and miscellaneous items. Non-interest income (annualized) as a percentage of total average assets was 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 0.87% for the same period in 2001.

Non-interest expense

     Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $852 thousand, or 14.4%, to $6.787 million, compared to $5.935 million for the same period in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $460 thousand (16.2%), occupancy and depreciation expenses increased by $143 thousand (11.5%), data processing expenses (includes item processing and conversion expenses) increased by $93 thousand (17.8%), and all remaining expenses together resulted in an increase of $156 thousand (11.7%).

     A new branch opened in September 2001, which contributed to higher salaries/employee benefits, data processing expense, and occupancy expenses.

     The Company’s new subsidiary, C. S. Processing opened in July 2001, which contributed to higher salaries/employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Because this function is now performed in house, data processing expense decreased (exclusive of conversion expenses), and salary/employee benefits and occupancy expenses increased. The effect of the decrease in data processing was not apparent due to conversion expenses recognized by two of our three banks. The conversion expense relates to the conversion to a new core data processing service bureau. Approximately $296 thousand of data processing expense related to conversion expense was recognized during the six month period ending June 30, 2002. Without these conversion expenses, data processing expense would have decreased by $203 thousand instead of increase by $93 thousand.

     All three of the Company’s subsidiary banks have now completed their conversions as of April 2002. All three are now using the same service bureau for its core data processing, and the same general ledger with the same standard chart of accounts. In addition, all three subsidiary banks have also converted their item processing to the Company’s majority owned (75%) subsidiary. In addition to the expected future efficiencies and cost savings, management believes this strategy of control over the process will enhance the quality of the service provided the customer.

Provision for income taxes

     The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $633 thousand (an effective rate of 37.9%) compared to $690 thousand (an effective rate of 37.4%) for the same period in 2001.

Liquidity

     Liquidity is defined as the ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis. Management measures the liquidity position by giving consideration to both on- and off-balance sheet sources of and demands for funds on a daily and weekly basis.

     Each of the Company’s subsidiary banks regularly assesses the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs, and existing and planned business activities. Each subsidiary bank’s asset/liability committee (ALCO) provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends guidelines, subject to board of director’s approval, and courses of action to address actual and projected liquidity needs.

     Short term sources of funding and liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, net of federal requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities; investment securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings from dealers and customers pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; loan repayments; deposits and certain interest rate-sensitive deposits; and borrowings under overnight federal fund lines available from correspondent banks. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the primary demand for liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers. The Company does not use off balance sheet financing. Management believes that it is reasonably likely these funding sources will be available in the future.

Market Risk

     Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting the Company. Each subsidiary bank monitors and manages its interest rate risk using interest rate sensitivity “gap” analysis to measure the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income. See the Company’s 2001 annual report on Form 10-KSB for disclosure of the quantitative and qualitative information regarding the interest rate risk inherent in interest rate risk sensitive instruments as of December 31, 2001. There have been no changes in the assumptions used in monitoring interest rate risk as of June 30, 2002. The impact of other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk, is deemed immaterial. The Company does not maintain a portfolio of trading securities and does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.
