Explanatory Note

On August 23, 2010, CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Company”) furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. (“CenterState”), had acquired substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the deposits of Community National Bank Bartow, Florida (“Community National”) through a purchase and assumption agreement, including loss-sharing (the “P&A Agreement”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) dated as of August 20, 2010. The final carrying values and the final list of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed remains subject to finalization by the FDIC and CenterState. The purchase of Community National’s assets and the assumption of its liabilities was effective on August 20, 2010.

On August 26, 2010, the Company furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “First Amendment”) which amended and supplemented the disclosures provided in the Original Report. The Company reported that it anticipated it would further amend the Original Report and the First Amendment at a later date to the extent additional financial information is required by Item 9.01.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment #2”) amends and supplements the disclosures provided in Item 2.01 and 9.01 of the Original Report and the First Amendment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the other disclosures made in the Original Report and the First Amendment remain unchanged. The Company does not anticipate that it will further amend this Current Report.

Statements made in this Amendment, other than those concerning historical financial information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations concerning its financial condition, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources, including the effects of the Community National acquisition and the final determination of the assets and liabilities acquired and their respective valuations. A discussion of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations is set forth under the captions “Business - Note about Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The following discussion of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at estimated fair value on the date of the P&A Agreement. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as described in Note 3 to the Company’s statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, dated August 20, 2010, and the accompanying notes thereto, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Audited Statement”). These fair value estimates are based on the information available, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. CenterState and the FDIC are engaged in on-going discussions that may impact the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and/or the purchase price. In addition, the tax treatment of FDIC assisted acquisitions is complex and subject to interpretations that may result in future adjustments of deferred taxes as of the acquisition date. The disclosure set forth in this Item 2.01 reflects the status of these items to the best of management’s knowledge as of November 2, 2010.

2

The Community National acquisition consisted of assets with a fair value of approximately $64.7 million, including $38.6 million of loans, $1.3 million of repossessed real estate (“OREO”), $1.6 million of investment securities, $10.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $9.8 million related to the FDIC’s indemnification of the Company against certain future losses described below and $2.7 million of other assets which included $1.7 million of goodwill and $0.3 million in core deposit intangibles. The Company paid cash of $12.9 million to the FDIC for the net assets acquired from the FDIC. Liabilities with a fair value of approximately $51.9 million were assumed, including $47.7 million of deposits and $4.2 million of FHLB advances.

The Company also entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that collectively cover legal unpaid principal balances of approximately $47.6 million of loans which include single family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate loans, other commercial loans, construction/development/land loans and approximately $1.8 million of OREO (collectively, the “Covered Assets”). Management has estimated the fair value of the covered loans to approximate $35.8 million, and the estimated fair value of the OREO to approximate $1.3 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse the Company for losses with respect to Covered Assets begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. The FDIC will reimburse the Company for 80% of losses with respect to the Covered Assets. The Company will reimburse the FDIC for its share of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid the Company a reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements. Certain other assets of Community National were acquired by the Company which are not covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. These assets include $1.6 million of marketable securities purchased at fair market value, consumer loans with a fair value of $2.9 million at acquisition date, and other tangible assets.

The loss sharing agreements applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provide for FDIC loss sharing and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries for ten years. The loss sharing agreement applicable to commercial loans and other Covered Assets provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for a total of eight years for recoveries.

The loss sharing agreements are subject to certain servicing procedures as specified in an agreement with the FDIC. The fair value of the loss sharing agreements was recorded as an indemnification asset at an estimated fair value of $9.8 million on the acquisition date.

The foregoing summary of the P&A Agreement, including the loss sharing agreements, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the P&A Agreement and certain other exhibits attached to the P&A Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

Discussion

As set forth in Item 2.01 above, on August 20, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed substantially all of the deposits and liabilities of Community National pursuant to the P&A Agreement. A narrative description of the anticipated effects of the Community National acquisition (the “Acquisition”) on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, capital resources and operating results is presented below. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes of the Company, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Audited Statement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

3

The Acquisition increased the Company’s total assets and total deposits by approximately 3.6% and 3.3%, respectively, as compared with the balances at June 30, 2010, and is expected to positively affect the Company’s operating results, to the extent the Company earns more from interest earned on its interest earning assets than it pays in interest on its interest bearing liabilities. The ability of the Company to successfully collect interest and principal on loans acquired and collect reimbursement from the FDIC on the related indemnification asset will also impact cash flows and operating results.

The Company estimated the acquisition-date fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805) and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. However, the amount that the Company realizes on these assets could differ materially from the carrying value reflected in the attached Audited Statement primarily as a result of changes in the timing and amount of collections on the acquired loans in future periods. Because of the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC on these assets, as described in Item 2.01 above, the Company does not expect to incur significant losses. To the extent the actual value realized for the acquired loans differ from the estimated amount, the indemnification asset will generally be impacted in an offsetting manner due to the loss sharing support from the FDIC.

Financial Condition

In the Acquisition, the Company purchased $38.6 million of loans at fair value, net of $12.1 million, or 23.8%, estimated discount to the outstanding principal balance, representing approximately 4.1% of the Company’s total loans at June 30, 2010. The Company acquired $10.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.3 million in OREO at fair value, and $1.6 million of marketable securities at fair value.

The following table presents information with respect to the fair value of certain acquired earning assets and loans, as well as their legal unpaid principal balance (“Book Balance”) at acquisition date, contractual term and average contractual yield. The fair value of loan is calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows using current market interest rates for similar instruments and considering estimated default and prepayment rates. The difference between the book balance and the fair value is the net effect of the credit adjustment due to estimated defaults and the non credit adjustment due to the difference between the contractual interest rate and the current market interest rates.

Schedule of Earning Assets Acquired – August 20, 2010

in thousands of dollars:	book balance		fair value		average months to maturity		average contractual interest rate			effective interest rate
Interest bearing deposits at Federal Reserve Bank	$	9,954	$	9,954		—		0.25	%		0.25	%

Total earning assets	$	62,188	$	50,137

In the Acquisition, the Company assumed $47.7 million in deposits at estimated fair value. The amount represents approximately 3.3% of the Company’s total deposits of $1,427.4 million at June 30, 2010. Demand and savings deposit accounts make up $24.6 million of these assumed deposits.

In its assumption of the deposit liabilities, the Company believed that the customer relationships associated with these deposits have an intangible value. The Company applied ASC Topic 805, which prescribes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles, in a business combination. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the core deposit intangible asset totaled $0.3 million, which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated amortization method over an estimated economic life not to exceed ten years. In determining the valuation amount, deposits were analyzed based on factors such as type of deposit, deposit retention, interest rates and age of deposit relationships.

Future amortization of this core deposit intangible asset over the estimated life will decrease results of operations, net of any potential tax effect. Since amortization is a non cash item, it will have no effect upon future liquidity and cash flows. For the calculation of regulatory capital, core deposit intangible asset is disallowed and is a reduction to equity capital. The Company expects that disallowing this intangible asset should not materially adversely affect the Company’s or CenterState’s regulatory capital ratios.

The core deposit intangible asset is subject to significant estimates by management of the Company related to the value and the life of the asset. These estimates could change over time. The Company will review the valuation of this asset periodically to ensure that no impairment has occurred. If any impairment is subsequently determined, the Company will record the impairment as an expense in its consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the Community National acquisition, the consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets received. Accordingly, goodwill of approximately $1.7 million was recorded as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill is not an amortizable asset. The Company will review the valuation of this intangible asset periodically, and no less than annually, for impairment. If any impairment is subsequently determined, the Company will record the impairment as an expense in its consolidated statement of operations.

Non performing loans

The Company acquired performing and non performing loans. The loans acquired included non accrual loans and loans past due greater than 90 days as listed below.

in thousands of dollars:	book balance
Non accrual loans	$	6,997
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest		—
Total	$	6,997

All of the loans acquired except for consumer loans are covered pursuant to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Management further segregated loans that were either non accrual, past due greater than 60 days, TDRs (Troubled Debt Restructured loans), graded “special mention” or “substandard,” had six or more 30 day past due notices or had any 60 day or 90 day past due notices during the loan’s life to date. These loans have been identified as Type A loans, or loans with one or more specifically identified credit deficiency factor, and the Company is accounting for these loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

All remaining loans, those without specifically identified credit deficiency factors, or Type B loans, were grouped into pools with common risk characteristics. These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Although no specific credit deficiencies are specifically identifiable, management believes there is an element of risk as to whether all contractual cash flows will be eventually received. Factors that were considered included the poor economic environment both nationally and locally as well as the unfavorable real estate market particularly in Florida. In addition, these loans were acquired from a failed financial institution which implies poor, or at least questionable, underwriting. Based on management’s estimate of fair value, each of these pools has a discount credit mark which reflects expected credit losses. The Company will apply ASC Topic 310-30 accounting treatment by analogy to Type B loans. The result is that all loans acquired from this failed financial institution will be accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30.

The table below summarizes those loans with one or more specifically identified credit deficiency factors (“Type A” loans) and all other loans (“Type B” loans), and compares the unpaid legal balance (“Book Balance”) to fair value as of the August 20, 2010 acquisition date:

in thousands of dollars:	book balance		fair value
Loans with one or more specifically identified credit deficiency factor (Type A loans)	$	26,642	$	17,550
All other loans (Type B loans)		24,028		21,069
Total loans	$	50,670	$	38,619

Operating results and cash flows

Management has from time to time become aware of acquisition opportunities and has performed various levels of review related to potential acquisitions in the past. This Acquisition was attractive to the Company for a variety of reasons including the following:

• attractiveness in the pricing of the acquired loan portfolios including the indemnification asset;

• ability to increase the Company’s market share in Polk County, Florida;

• attractiveness of core deposit customer relationships;

• opportunities to enhance income and efficiency due to duplications of effort and decentralized processes as the Company expects to enhance income by centralizing some duties and removing duplications of effort.

Based on these and other factors, including the level of FDIC support related to the acquired loans and OREO, the Company believes that the Acquisition will have a positive impact on its earnings.

The total assets acquired, approximately $64.7 million, represent approximately 3.6% of the Company’s $1,821.3 million of total assets as of June 30, 2010, and total deposits assumed, approximately $47.7 million, represent approximately 3.3% of the Company’s $1,427.4 million of total deposits reported as of June 30, 2010. The Company believes that the transaction will improve net interest income, as the Company earns more from interest earned on its loans and investments than it pays in interest on deposits.

The extent to which the Company’s operating results may be adversely affected by the acquired loans is largely offset by the loss sharing agreements and the related discounts reflected in the estimated fair value of these assets at the acquisition date. In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 310-30, the fair values of the acquired loans reflect an estimate of expected credit losses related to these assets. As a result, the Company’s operating results would only be adversely affected by loan losses to the extent that such losses exceed the expected credit losses reflected in the fair value of these assets at the acquisition date.

ASC Topic 310-30 applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. ASC Topic 310-30 prohibits carrying over or creating an allowance for loan losses upon initial recognition for loans that fall under its scope. As described above under Non performing loans, the Company is accounting for all of the acquired loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30.

The loss sharing agreements will likely have a material impact on the cash flows and operating results of the Company in both the short-term and the long-term. In the short-term, as stated above, it is likely that there will be a significant amount of the covered assets that will experience deterioration in payment performance or will be determined to have inadequate collateral values to repay the loans. In such instances, the Company will likely no longer receive payments from the borrowers, which will impact cash flows. The loss sharing agreements will not fully offset the financial effects of such a situation. However, if a loan is subsequently charged off or charged down after the Company exhausts its best efforts at collection, the loss sharing agreements will cover a substantial portion of the loss associated with the covered assets.

7

The long-term effects that the Company may experience will depend primarily on the ability of the borrowers under the various loans covered by the loss sharing agreements to make payments over time. As the loss sharing agreements cover up to a 10 year period (5 years for commercial loans and other assets), changing economic conditions will likely impact the timing of future charge-offs and the resulting reimbursements from the FDIC. The Company believes that any recapture of interest income and recognition of cash flows from the borrowers or received from the FDIC (as part of the FDIC indemnification asset) may be recognized unevenly over this period, as the Company exhausts its collection efforts under its normal practices. In addition, the Company recorded substantial discounts related to the purchase of these covered assets. A portion of these discounts will be accretable to income over the economic life of the loans and will be dependent upon the timing and success of the Company’s collection efforts on the covered assets.

Liquidity and capital resources

Pursuant to the P&A Agreement, the Company paid $12.9 million to the FDIC and acquired $10.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, as well as $1.6 million of marketable securities.

Deposits in the amount of $47.7 million were also assumed. Of this amount, 52%, or $24.6 million, were in the form of core non time deposits. The time deposits comprised 48%, or $23.1 million.

As permitted by the FDIC, CenterState had the option to subsequently reprice the acquired deposit portfolios to current market rates. CenterState elected not to reprice any of the deposits acquired pursuant to this acquisition.

At June 30, 2010 the Company and CenterState were considered “well-capitalized” based on calculations of relevant regulatory ratios. The Company and CenterState had the following capital ratios at June 30, 2010.

	regulatory guideline amounts
	to be considered			actual at June 30, 2010
	well capitalized			Company			CenterState
Tier 1 leverage ratio		5.0	%		11.3	%		7.9	%
Tier 1 risk based ratio		6.0	%		17.6	%		14.6	%
Total risk based ratio		10.0	%		18.9	%		15.8	%

Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Company raised additional capital pursuant to a follow-on public common stock offering. The common stock offering added approximately $32.8 million to the Company’s common equity after related expenses and underwriting fees. The Company’s pro-forma regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2010, considering the impact from the common stock offering results in a Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk based ratio and Total risk based ratio of 12.9%, 20.4% and 21.6%, respectively. The acquisition of Community National did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s regulatory capital ratios. The Company and CenterState remain “well-capitalized” after taking into consideration the results of the Community National transaction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of CenterState Banks, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. (a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterState Banks, Inc.) pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated August 20, 2010 (the Agreement). This statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. (a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterState Banks, Inc.) at August 20, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED

By CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A.

(a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterState Banks, Inc.)

(dollars are in thousands)

Note 1: FDIC assisted acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Community National Bank

On August 20, 2010, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A. (“CenterState”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a purchase and assumption agreement and certain loss share agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the FDIC as receiver, pursuant to which CenterState acquired certain assets and assumed substantially all of the deposits and certain liabilities of Community National Bank (“Community National”) located in Bartow, Florida.

Community National operated through one branch in Polk County, Florida. CenterState assumed $47,683 of the deposits of Community National at estimated fair value. Additionally, CenterState acquired loans with an estimated fair value of $38,619 and an unpaid principal balance of $50,670, repossessed real estate (“OREO”) and investment securities with estimated fair values of $1,268 and $1,564, respectively. Approximately $35,752 of the $38,619 acquired loans and all of the acquired OREO are covered by loss sharing agreements (“Covered Assets”) between the FDIC and CenterState.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction are presented at estimated fair value on the date of the acquisition. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as described in Note 3 below. These fair value estimates are considered preliminary, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. CenterState and the FDIC are engaged in on-going discussions that may impact which assets and liabilities are ultimately acquired or assumed by CenterState and/or the purchase prices. In addition, the tax treatment of FDIC assisted acquisitions is complex and subject to interpretations that may result in future adjustments of deferred taxes as of the acquisition date.

Note 2: Loss sharing agreement and FDIC indemnification asset

As part of the Agreements, CenterState and the FDIC also entered into certain loss sharing agreements. Pursuant to the terms of these loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse CenterState for losses with respect to certain loans begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. Approximately $49,339 of assets which include $47,565 of loans and $1,774 of OREO are covered under these agreements. The amounts covered by the loss sharing agreements are the pre-acquisition book values of the underlying assets, certain future net direct costs and up to 90 days of interest. The FDIC will reimburse CenterState for 80% of losses up to $49,339. CenterState will reimburse the FDIC for its share of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid CenterState a reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements. Certain other assets of Community National were acquired by CenterState that are not covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. These assets include consumer loans and investment securities purchased at fair market value and other tangible assets.

The loss sharing agreements applicable to single family residential mortgage loans provides for FDIC loss sharing and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries for ten years. The loss sharing agreement applicable to commercial loans and other covered assets provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years and Company reimbursement to the FDIC for a total of eight years for recoveries.

The loss sharing agreements are subject to certain servicing procedures as specified in agreements with the FDIC. The expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements were recorded as indemnification assets on the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value of $9,837 on the acquisition date. The FDIC loss share indemnification asset reflects the present value of the expected net cash reimbursement related to the loss sharing agreements described above.

Note 3: Basis of presentation

CenterState has determined that the acquisition of the net assets of Community National constitutes a business acquisition as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their estimated fair values as required by that topic.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. In some cases, the estimation of fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. We describe below the methods used to determine the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed. ASC 820-10 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 following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities.

Cash and cash due from banks and Federal Reserve Bank

The carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on their short-term nature.

Investment securities available for sale

The fair value for securities available for sale was determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or 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).

Loans

At the August 20, 2010 acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the acquired loan portfolio at $38,619, which represents the expected cash flows from the portfolio discounted at a market-based rate. Fair values for loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, risk classification, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and current discount rates. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity concerns. The discount rate does not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included in the estimated cash flows. Fair values are considered to be Level 3 pricing.

OREO

Fair values for OREO were determined using Level 3 inputs which include current and prior appraisals and estimated costs to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.

FDIC indemnification asset

These loss sharing assets are measured separately from the related covered assets as they are not contractually embedded in the assets and are not transferable with the assets should CenterState choose to dispose of them. Fair value was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentage. These expected reimbursements do not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC. Fair value is considered to be Level 3 pricing.

FHLB stock

It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability, and as such has been recorded at its redeemable value.

Core deposit intangible

This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that Community National had with their deposit customers. The fair value of this intangible asset was estimated based on the discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to expected customer attrition rates, cost of the deposit base, reserve requirements and the net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits. Fair value is considered to be Level 3 pricing.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the consideration paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets received pursuant to the Community National transaction.

Deposits

The fair values used for the checking and savings deposits that comprise the transaction accounts acquired by definition equal the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to the interest rates embedded on such time deposits, and are considered to be Level 2 pricing.

FHLB advances

Management’s intention as of the acquisition date was to prepay the FHLB advances acquired, which subsequently occurred. As such, management determined the fair value of the FHLB advances at the acquisition date was the $4,000 principal outstanding plus the prepayment penalty of approximately $150.

Use of estimates

Management made a number of significant estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management exercised significant judgment regarding assumptions about discount rates, future expected cash flows, including prepayments, default rates, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature, and subject to change, and all of which affected the estimation of fair values of the net assets acquired in the Community National acquisition. Actual results could differ from those estimates; others provided with the same information could draw different reasonable conclusions and calculate different fair values. Changes that may vary significantly from the Company’s assumptions include loan prepayments, the rate of default, the severity of defaults, the estimated market values of collateral at disposition, the timing of such disposition and deposit attrition.

Note 4: Net assets acquired

Under the terms of the purchase and assumption agreements, the FDIC agreed to transfer to CenterState (1) certain assets subject to loss sharing agreements at book value, (2) certain assets that are not subject to the loss sharing agreements at a contractually specified purchase price, (3) certain assets at fair value and (4) certain liabilities at book value. CenterState also agreed to transfer cash of $12,860 to the FDIC to compensate for the $13,778 net assets acquired less the $918 agreed upon discount (negative bid).

Covered loans:
Single family residential real estate	$	25,514
Commercial real estate		8,191

Total loans	$	38,619

The following table presents purchased loans accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30 at the August 20, 2010 acquisition date:

	loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factor (Type A loans)			loans without specifically identified credit deficiency factor (Type B loans)			total loans
Contractually required principal and interest	$	31,548		$	25,093		$	56,641
Non-accretable difference		(9,964	)		(3,005	)		(12,969	)
Cash flows expected to be collected		21,584			22,088			43,672
Accretable yield		(4,034	)		(1,019	)		(5,053	)
Fair value of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30	$	17,550		$	21,069		$	38,619

Acquired loans that are non-accrual, 60 days or more past due, designated as Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”), graded “special mention” or “substandard,” had six or more 30 day past due notices or had any 60 day or 90 day past due notices during the loan term, were identified as Type A loans, that is, loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factor. The Company will account for Type A loans under ASC Topic 310-30.

All remaining loans, those without specifically identified credit deficiency factors, or Type B loans, were grouped into pools with common risk characteristics. These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Although no specific credit deficiencies are specifically identifiable, management believes there is an element of risk as to whether all contractual cash flows will be eventually received. Factors that were considered included the poor economic environment both nationally and locally as well as the unfavorable real estate market particularly in Florida. In addition, these loans were acquired from a failed financial institution which implies poor, or at least questionable, underwriting. Based on management’s estimate of fair value, each of these pools was assigned a discount credit mark which reflects expected credit losses. The Company will apply ASC Topic 310-30 accounting treatment by analogy to Type B loans. The result is that all loans acquired from this failed financial institution will be accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30.

Note 7: Goodwill and other intangible assets

The statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed reflects a core deposit intangible asset of $336 at August 20, 2010 related to the Community National acquisition. The core deposit intangible asset will be amortized utilizing an accelerated amortization method over an estimated economic life not to exceed ten years. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2010 and the five subsequent years thereafter is $18, $48, $40, $34, $30 and $29, respectively. The Company will review the valuation of this intangible asset periodically for impairment. If any impairment is subsequently determined, the Company will record the impairment as an expense in its consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the Community National acquisition, the consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired. Accordingly, goodwill of approximately $1,704 was recorded as a result of the acquisition. Goodwill is not an amortizable asset. The Company will review the valuation of this intangible asset periodically, and no less than annually, for impairment. If any impairment is subsequently determined, the Company will record the impairment as an expense in its consolidated statement of operations.

Note 9: Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The effects of subsequent events and transactions are recognized in the financial statements when they provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Subsequent to the August 20, 2010 acquisition date, CenterState sold all $1,564 of investment securities acquired and recognized a pre-tax loss of approximately $7. CenterState also prepaid the $4,000 FHLB advances and the $150 prepayment penalty subsequent to the acquisition date.
