FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CenterState Banks, Inc. Announces

First Quarter 2010 Operating Results

DAVENPORT, FL. – April 23, 2010 - CenterState Banks, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSFL) reported net income for the first quarter of 2010 of $393,000 ($0.02 per share) compared to a net loss of $4,027,000 ($0.16 per share) reported for the fourth quarter 2009. Much of this improvement was a result of lower credit cost. The loan loss provision during the current quarter was $4,075,000 compared to $9,386,000 reported in the forth quarter of 2009.

A summary of the first quarter highlights are as follows:

• Strong capital position – the Company has a Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 11.6% and a Tangible Common Equity ratio of 11.2%, one of the strongest capitalized publicly traded community banks in Florida.

• Strong earnings excluding credit costs – pre-tax pre-provision and credit cost earnings (see table and notes below) was $6,028,000 during the current quarter compared to $6,451,000 during the previous quarter, and compared to $3,602,000 during the same quarter last year.

• Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 27 basis points (“bps”) to 3.54% compared to 3.27% reported during the previous quarter. Substantially all of this expansion was driven by the earning asset side of the equation. Although the cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 11bps to 1.52% compared to 1.63% reported during the previous quarter, the overall cost of total interest bearing liabilities decreased marginally to 1.37% compared to 1.38% in the previous quarter. The reason for this was the change in the mix, in particular federal funds purchased acquired through the correspondent banking division. The average balance in this category was $140,595,000 during the current quarter compared to $226,723,000 during the previous quarter. The average interest cost for this category was approximately 0.10% during the current quarter and 0.16% during the previous quarter. As indicated above, the primary catalyst for the NIM expansion was the 24bps increase in the total interest earning assets. Once again, this was the result of a change in mix. The yield on average loans actually decreased 13bps to 5.66% for the current quarter compared to 5.79% in the previous quarter. But average loan balances as a percentage of total interest earning assets increased to 59% during the current quarter compared to 56% in the prior quarter. In addition, overnight federal funds sold average balances (the lowest yielding assets in the interest earning assets portfolio) as a percentage of total interest earning assets decreased to 9% during the current quarter compared to 13% during the previous quarter.

• Substantial decrease in overall credit costs – the Company’s overall credit cost which includes loan loss provision as well as other credit related costs decreased to approximately $5,509,000 during the current quarter compared to $10,969,000 reported in the fourth quarter 2009.

• Credit metrics – the Company’s non performing loans (“NPL”) ratio increased to 5.15% from 4.42% reported in the previous quarter, the non performing assets (“NPA”) ratio also increased to 3.35% from 3.05%, and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased to 2.55% compared to last quarter’s 2.43%. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of NPLs was 49% compared to 55% reported for the previous quarter.

4

• Correspondent banking division (a reportable segment) continues to add incremental revenue – it reported $6,356,000 of gross commissions from bond sales during the quarter and contributed approximately $1,220,000 of after tax earnings during the current quarter.

• FDIC assisted transactions – the Company is continuing to monitor and evaluate FDIC assisted bank acquisition opportunities within Florida. The Company expects to be a successful bidder on one or more targeted institutions within Florida, although there is no assurance that any Company bid would be accepted.

Loan portfolio mix, credit quality and allowance for loan losses

Management continues to aggressively monitor credit risk and potential losses in the Company’s loan portfolio in light of the current real estate environment in Florida. During the current quarter, the Company took a charge of $4,075,000 to loan loss provision (expense) and charged-off (net of recoveries) $3,276,000, or 0.34% of average loans outstanding during the quarter (1.36% on an annualized basis). The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $24,088,000 at March 31, 2010 compared to $23,289,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $799,000 ($4,075,000 charge to loan loss expense less $3,276,000 net charge-offs equals $799,000 loan loss allowance increase during the first quarter 2010). This increase is the result of a $959,000 increase in our general loan loss allowance less a $160,000 decrease in our specific loan loss allowance. The increase in our general allowance is primarily due to changes in our historical charge-off rates, changes in our current environmental factors, and changes in the loan portfolio mix, less the decrease in our loan portfolio. Our specific allowance is the aggregate of the results of individual analyses prepared for each one of our impaired loans on a loan by loan basis.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding was 2.55% as of March 31, 2010 compared to 2.43% as of December 31, 2009. Management believes the Company’s allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2010. However, management recognizes that many factors can adversely impact various segments of the Company’s market and customers, and therefore there is no assurance as to the amount of losses or probable losses which may develop in the future.

note 1: The increase in this category during the second quarter 2009 was due to several reclassifications from commercial real estate to land and land development loans at several of the Company’s banks and the increase during the third quarter 2009 was due to reclassifications of single family lot loans from residential real estate to land and land development loans at one of the Company’s subsidiary banks.

The Company defines non performing loans as non accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Non performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 5.15% at March 31, 2010 compared to 4.42% at December 31, 2009.

Non performing assets (which the Company defines as non performing loans, as defined above, plus (a) OREO (i.e. real estate acquired through foreclosure, in-substance foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure); and (b) other repossessed assets that are not real estate), were $59,540,000 at March 31, 2010, compared to $53,452,000 at December 31, 2009. Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 3.35% at March 31, 2010 compared to 3.05% at December 31, 2009.

Note 1: In this current real estate crisis that the Nation in general and Florida in particular has been experiencing, it has become more common to restructure or modify the terms of certain loans under certain conditions (i.e. troubled debt restructure or “TDRs”). In those circumstances it may be beneficial to restructure the terms of a loan and work with the borrower for the benefit of both parties, versus forcing the property into foreclosure and having to dispose of it in an unfavorable and depressed real estate market. When we have modified the terms of a loan, we usually either reduce the monthly payment and/or interest rate for generally about twelve months. We have not forgiven any material principal amounts on any loan modifications to date. We have approximately $27,953 of TDRs. Of this amount $15,235 are performing pursuant to their modified terms, and $12,718 are not performing and have been placed on non accrual status and included in our non performing loans (“NPLs”). Current accounting standards require TDRs to be included in our impaired loans, whether they are performing or not performing. Only non performing TDRs are included in our NPLs.

As shown in the table above, the largest component of non performing loans is non accrual loans. As of March 31, 2010 the Company had reported total of 205 non accrual loans with an aggregate book

8

value of $48,753,000, compared to December 31, 2009 when 171 non accrual loans with an aggregate book value of $42,059,000 were reported. The increase was spread among all five categories, with no material disproportional increase in any particular category. This amount is further delineated by collateral category and number of loans in the table below (in thousands of dollars).

Collateral category (unaudited)	Total amount		Percentage of total non accrual loans		Number of non accrual loans in category
Residential real estate loans	$	11,274	23	%	73
Commercial real estate loans		24,198	50	%	51
Construction, development and land loans		12,547	25	%	45
Non real estate commercial loans		357	1	%	16
Non real estate consumer and other loans		377	1	%	20
Total non accrual loans at March 31, 2010	$	48,753	100	%	205

There are no construction or development loans with national builders. The Company has historically done business with local builders and developers that have typically been long time customers. However, the Company believes that this category (i.e. construction, development and land) is the loan category where the most risk is present. On the positive side, the category only represents about 11% of the total loan portfolio. Evidencing the riskier nature of the category, it represents a disproportionate 25% of the Company’s total non accrual loans and approximately 34% of the Company’s total repossessed real estate (“OREO”).

As indicated above, non accrual construction, development, and land loans totaled $12,360,000 at March 31, 2010. Most of this amount relates to land, either developed or not developed, commercial and residential. There are four single family homes where construction is either completed or not yet completed, but in either case the homes are not sold. This mix is not inconsistent with the performing loans in this category, where the mix is approximately 85% land related, either developed lots or not developed, both commercial and residential, and less than 15% of the category represents vertical construction and the majority of that is commercial.

During the current quarter, the Company charged off, net of recoveries, approximately $827,000 of the loans in this category, about 25% of the total net charge offs. During the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company had total charge offs, net of recoveries, of $13,942,000. Almost half ($6,414,000) came from this category.

The second largest component in non performing assets after non accrual loans is repossessed real estate, or OREO. OREO is carried at the lower of cost or market less the estimated cost to sell. Further declines in real estate values can affect the market value of these assets. Any further decline in market value beyond its cost basis is recorded as a current expense in the Company’s Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2010, OREO was $10,059,000, which is further delineated in the table below (in thousands of dollars).

Deposit activity

During the current quarter, total deposits increased by $35,902,000, or 2.8%. Time deposits increased by $9,111,000, or 1.6%, and non time deposits (i.e., core deposits) increased by $26,791,000, or 3.6%. With the purchase of an Ocala bank’s deposits from the FDIC in January 2009 and the correspondent banking activity, the Company believes it has excess liquidity, and has no incentive to aggressively price rate sensitive time deposits. Management continues to believe that core deposits and the number of customer relationships is a key value component of the franchise, and continues to incentivize employees to grow these accounts and relationships.

The revenue category “income from correspondent banking and bond sales division” listed in the table above represents commissions earned from bond sales which was new for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008. This revenue source is related to the Company’s new correspondent banking division initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008 and expanded during the third quarter of 2009 with the addition of the team hired from the failed Silverton Bank in Atlanta, Georgia. This division is also the reason for the increase in “employee salaries and wages” category listed in our non interest expense table below, as well as various other non interest expense categories.

The revenue category “trading securities revenue” listed in the table above is new for the

11

Company beginning in the third quarter of 2009. During July of 2009, the Company initiated a trading securities portfolio at its lead subsidiary bank. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in trading securities revenue.

We sold approximately $42,018,000 of securities available for sale during the first quarter of 2010, recognizing a gain on sale of $1,436,000. During the forth quarter of 2009 we sold approximately $71,899,000 of securities available for sale recognizing a gain on sale of $1,538,000. The sales were a result of liquidity management and asset/liability management. The Company has approximately $11,139,000 of unrealized gain on its securities available for sale portfolio at March 31, 2010.
