Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements as defined by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, or in the documents incorporated by reference, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “may”, “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions are some of the forward-looking statements used in these documents. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause results to change materially include competition, inflation, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, and changes in the value of collateral securing loans First Peoples Bank has made, among other things.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Going Concern

There are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern and it is possible that our subsidiary bank may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

The Company’s recent and continuing increases in non-performing assets, continuing high levels of operating expenses related to the credit problems and eroding regulatory capital raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not complied with its regulatory capital requirements set forth in the Consent Order and Prompt Corrective Action discussed in Footnote 19, Regulatory Matters. At December 31, 2010, the Company was considered “significantly undercapitalized”. The Company needs to raise substantial additional capital. Management is evaluating all potential sources of capital to meet the Company’s capital requirements, to include offering stock to outside parties and seeking a strategic merger partner. There is no guarantee that sufficient capital would be available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company would be able to sell assets at terms favorable enough to accomplish its regulatory capital needs. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our board of directors is actively considering strategic alternatives. We can give no assurance that we will identify an alternative that allows our stockholders to realize any value in the Company’s common stock. We also can give no assurance that a transaction or other strategic alternative, once identified, evaluated and consummated, will provide any value to our stockholders. In addition, a transaction would result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock. If we are unable to return to profitability and if we are unable to identify and execute a viable strategic alternative, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent Event

With the concurrence of the FDIC and OFR, the Bank will record an additional provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The range of additional losses to be recorded is $2.0 million to $2.7 million. These losses will further degrade our capital and increase the likelihood of the failure of the Bank.

Regulatory Matters

Board Resolutions. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“Federal Reserve”) has requested our Board of Directors to adopt resolutions limiting us from reducing our capital position, and we have adopted them. Pursuant to these resolutions, we have committed to: (i) not incurring debt at the holding company level without prior Federal Reserve approval; (ii) not paying dividends on our securities (including our Series A Preferred Stock) without prior Federal Reserve approval; (iii) not purchasing or redeeming stock without Federal Reserve approval; (iv) not making any other payment which would represent a reduction in capital, other than normal and routine operating expenses; and (v) providing to the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis, a parent-only balance sheet and confirmation of compliance with the resolutions. Our Board of Directors adopted these resolutions at its October 21, 2009 meeting. These resolutions also prohibit us from paying dividends on, or redeeming, the Series A Preferred Stock without Federal Reserve approval.

Consent Order. Effective March 18, 2010, the Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Stipulation”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, the Bank consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of March 18, 2010.

The Consent Order represents an agreement among the Bank, the FDIC and the OFR as to areas of the Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on the Bank.

Pursuant to the Consent Order:

Ø The Bank’s Board of Directors is required to increase its participation in the affairs of the Bank. This participation shall include comprehensive, documented meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly. Prior to the entry of the Consent Order, the Board conducted such meetings, but it now requires more detailed management reports. The Board has also established a committee to oversee the Bank’s compliance with the Consent Order.

Ø By June 16, 2010, and during the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall achieve and maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 11%. At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 3.02% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 5.57%. As of December 31, 2010, an additional $14.3 million in capital would be required by the Bank to attain the required capital levels.

Ø The Bank must maintain a fully funded Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”), which must be satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR. The Board of Directors shall quarterly review the adequacy of the ALLL. The Bank has always endeavored to maintain a fully funded, adequate ALLL and believes its ALLL is adequate.

Ø The Bank shall also reduce the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in October 2009: (i) by June 16, 2010, to not more than 140% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (ii) by September 14, 2010, to not more than 120% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iii) by December 13, 2010, to not more than 100% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iv) by March 23, 2011, to not more than 80% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; and (v) by September 19, 2011, to not more than 60% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL. As of December 31, 2010, the Bank’s ratio was 187%.

Ø The Bank shall not extend any credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan that has been charged off or classified “Substandard” and is uncollected, unless the Bank documents that such extension of credit is in the Bank’s best interest. The Bank had, and has, no intention of extending credit to such borrowers in violation of these requirements.

(continued)

Table of Contents

Ø By May 2, 2010, the Bank shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to any concentration cited by the FDIC, including commercial real estate loans. The Bank shall also develop a plan to reduce any segment of the portfolio deemed by the FDIC or OFR to be an undue concentration of credit. Both were completed and submitted on April 29, 2010.

Ø By June 16, 2010, the Bank shall formulate and implement a strategic plan and a plan to improve and sustain Bank earnings. Additionally, the Bank must prepare a budget and update the profit plan by November 30th of each year. All such items must be submitted to the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank was granted an extension to September 28, 2010 to submit its strategic plan and submitted it prior to that date.

Ø By May 17, 2010, the Bank must review, revise and adopt its liquidity, contingency funding and funds management policy, including implementing any changes recommended by the FDIC or the OFR. These were completed and submitted on May 27, 2010, following an extension granted to May 28, 2010.

Ø Throughout the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall not accept, renew, or rollover any brokered deposit, and shall comply with the restrictions on the effective yields on deposits exceeding national averages. In addition, by March 28, 2010, the Bank was required to submit to the FDIC and the OFR a plan to reduce reliance on brokered deposits, which it has done. The Bank has not accepted, renewed or rolled over any brokered deposits since July 2009. With respect to the yield limitations, it is possible that the Bank could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by the Bank.

Ø During the life of the Consent Order, the Bank shall limit its asset growth to 10% per year, unless the FDIC and the OFR consent to greater growth. Under the recently adopted strategic plan, the growth percentage will not exceed these growth parameters.

Ø While the Consent Order is in effect, the Bank shall not declare or pay dividends, or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the OFR. The Bank has never paid a dividend to the holding company.

Ø Within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter, the Bank shall furnish written progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR detailing the form, manner, and results of any actions taken to secure compliance. The Bank has, and will continue to prepare and submit such reports.

Prompt Corrective Action Directive. On February 2, 2011, the Bank received a Supervisory Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directive”), effective as of January 28, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC issued the Directive due to the Bank’s failure to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, the deteriorating condition of the Bank and management’s failure to improve the condition of the Bank. The Directive requires that: (1) within 30 days of the Effective Date (by February 27, 2011), the Bank must comply with the requirements of its Consent Order by attaining a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of 11% and (2) within 10 days of the Effective Date (extended to February 11, 2011) submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the FDIC, which expressly provides that the Bank will attain such capital levels. The Directive further requires that if the Bank does not increase its capital to such levels by February 27, 2011, the Bank must take any necessary action for the Bank to be acquired by, or merged into, another financial institution. An updated capital restoration plan was submitted on February 11, 2011; however, the Bank has not been able to comply with the required capital ratios.

Table of Contents

If the Bank continues to fail to satisfy the requirements of the Directive, it is likely that the FDIC or the Florida Office of Financial Regulation will take further regulatory enforcement action against the Bank, including the closure of the Bank and the placement of it into receivership with the FDIC.

The Directive also prohibits the Bank from: (1) making any payments on its subordinated debt or paying any capital distributions or dividends; (2) providing certain compensation to senior executive officers or excessive compensation or bonuses generally; (3) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (4) paying interest on deposits in excess of FDIC-established market rates; and (5) acquiring any interest in any company, establishing any branches, engaging in any new line of business, entering into any material transaction outside the ordinary course of business, extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction, amending its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, materially changing its accounting methods, or engaging in certain transactions with affiliates (including the holding company), without the FDIC’s prior approval. Furthermore, the Directive requires the Bank to alter, reduce or terminate any activity the FDIC determines poses excessive risk to the Bank.

FPB Bancorp, Inc.

FPB was incorporated on September 5, 2001. On December 3, 2001, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of First Peoples Bank in a one-for-one share exchange. As of December 31, 2010, we had total consolidated assets of $232.4 million, and total consolidated stockholders’ equity of $6.7 million.

First Peoples Bank

The Bank commenced banking operations in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on April 26, 1999, as a state-chartered commercial bank. Our customers are primarily individuals, professionals, small and medium size businesses, and seasonal retirees located predominantly in St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River counties, Florida. We currently have six retail full-service banking offices located in Port St. Lucie, Stuart, Palm City, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach, Florida. Our Stuart branch office opened for business in December 2003, the Fort Pierce branch office opened in June 2004, the Vero Beach branch office opened in March 2006, the Palm City branch office opened in January, 2008, and the Gatlin branch office opened in May 2008. The Bank also opened an Operations Center in March of 2007. Our primary business is attracting deposits from the general public and using those deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate loans and to purchase securities.

We offer a broad range of retail and commercial banking services, including various types of deposit accounts and loans for businesses and consumers. As part of our community bank approach, officers are encouraged to actively participate in community activities and organizations.

In June, 2008, the Bank formed a subsidiary, Treasure Coast Holdings, Inc., for the sole purpose of managing foreclosed assets.

Operating and Business Strategy

We are organized as a locally-owned, locally managed community financial institution, owned and managed by people who are actively involved in our market area and committed to our economic growth and development. With local ownership, management, and directors, we believe that we can be more responsive to the communities we serve. Local ownership allows faster, more responsive and flexible decision-making which is not generally available at the majority of financial institutions in or near our market area which mainly consist of branch offices of large regional holding company banks with headquarters located elsewhere in the United States.

(continued)

Table of Contents

Our principal business is to attract deposits from the general public and to invest those funds in various types of loans and other interest-earning assets. Funds are provided for these investments from the proceeds from the sale of investments, from amortization and repayment of outstanding loans and investments, from net deposit inflow, and from borrowings. Our earnings depend primarily upon the difference between (1) non-interest income, the interest and fees we receive from loans, the securities held in our investment portfolio and other investments, and (2) the expenses we incur in connection with obtaining funds for lending (including interest paid on deposits and other borrowings) and expenses relating to day-to-day operations.

To the extent market conditions permit, our strategy is intended to insulate our interest rate gap from adverse changes in interest rates by maintaining spreads through the adjustability of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our ability to reduce interest-rate risk in our loan and investment portfolios depends upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including among others, competition for loans and deposits in our market area and conditions prevailing in the economy.

Our primary sources of funds for loans and for other general business purposes are our capital, deposits and loan repayments. We expect that loan repayments will be a relatively stable sources of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows will be significantly influenced by prevailing interest rates, money market rates, and general economic conditions. Generally, short-term borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds while longer-term borrowings may be used to support expanded lending activities.

We continually seek to develop new business through an ongoing program of personal calls on both present and potential customers. As a local independent bank, we utilize traditional local advertising media to promote and develop loans and deposits. In addition, all of our directors have worked and lived in or near our market area for a number of years. We believe that these factors, coupled with the past and continued involvement of the directors, officers and staff in various local community activities, will further promote our image as a locally-owned independent institution, which we believe is an important factor to our targeted customer base.

Personalized Products and Service. We strive to provide innovative financial products and high service levels, and to maintain strong customer relationships. We seek customers who prefer to conduct business with a locally owned and managed financial institution.

Local Management and Community Focus. We approach banking with a community focus, emphasizing local management and local decision-making. Our main office is located in one of the primary business districts of Port St. Lucie on Port St. Lucie Boulevard. Most of the executive officers and directors are long-time residents of the tri-county area, and all management decisions are made within our market area.

Dedicated Employees. We believe that the key to our success lies with our employees, because it is through our employees that we are able to provide our banking customers with a very high level of service and attention. To this end, we seek to hire well qualified banking professionals who are committed to providing a superior level of banking service and are willing to accept a significant degree of responsibility. Each employee focuses on the individual customer’s needs and strives to deliver the specific products and services that are best suited to achieve the customer’s financial goals.

Internal Growth and Branch Expansion. Our first branch office opened in December of 2003 at 715 Colorado Avenue in Stuart, Florida, in a 6,100 square foot leased facility.

Our second branch office opened in June of 2004 in a two-story branch building at 2500 Virginia Avenue in Fort Pierce, Florida. The bank occupies 3,733 square feet on the first floor. We are leasing 5,025 square feet on the second floor to unaffiliated parties.

(continued)

Table of Contents

In March 2006, we opened a full-service branch office at 4000 20th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, in a former bank branch building. An 11,000 square foot Operations Center, which is leased, opened in March of 2007, in Jensen Beach, Florida, and a fifth branch office at 3001 Martin Downs Boulevard in Palm City, Florida opened in January of 2008 and is 3,000 square feet. A 3,700 square foot building now houses our sixth branch office, which opened in May of 2008 on Gatlin Boulevard, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

Develop Commercial Loan Relationships. Since our inception, we have been gradually building our loan portfolio mix by purchasing, originating and retaining commercial and commercial real estate loans. We believe that large regional and out-of-state financial institutions have shifted their focus away from lending to small and medium-sized business. As part of our lending efforts, we have been developing, within our market, strong commercial loan and deposit relationships with small to medium-sized businesses which tend to value personalized service and attention to their specific borrowing needs. Timely decisions and prompt, courteous service is very important and we believe will foster long-term, quality loan and deposit relationships. In addition, we are active in the Small Business Administration lending program earning our Preferred Lender Status in 2002.

Residential Loans. In order to be a full service bank, we engage in residential lending activities which include the origination of residential mortgage loans. Our strategy is to sell, to the extent practical, all of our fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loan originations. The sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market provides additional non-interest income, including mortgage loan origination fees and gains on the sale of mortgage loans. Typically a minimal amount of these loans are held in our portfolio.

Maintain Strong Credit Quality. We place a great deal of emphasis on maintaining strong asset quality. The asset quality we are experiencing to date is principally due to our strict underwriting criteria, the relationship of our senior officers and directors to our customers and their knowledge of the demographics and needs of our local community. Nonetheless, due to the economic downturn, particularly in Florida, we have experienced a decrease in our overall asset quality in 2010 and 2009.

Primary Market Areas. We are the only financial institution headquartered in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Our geographic market area encompasses Martin County, St. Lucie County, and Indian River County, Florida. St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River Counties have a total combined year-round adult population of approximately 547,930. From 2000 to 2009, the population of St. Lucie County grew at a rate of 38.3%, while Martin County grew by 10.3% and Indian River County by 2.54%. In 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce recognized St. Lucie County as having one of the fastest growing populations of all U.S. Counties.

St. Lucie West is home to the spring training facility for the New York Mets, the St. Lucie Mets and the PGA training center, one of the better golf training centers in the U.S.

Port St. Lucie is home to one of two family-oriented Club Med’s in the U.S. Major employers include St. Lucie County School District, St. Lucie County, Liberty Medical, Indian River State College, Walmart, Lawnwood Regional Medical Center, QVC, FPL and Publix Supermarkets.

The newest major development in St. Lucie County is the Town of Tradition, which is a master-planned, mixed-use community. St. Lucie County is home to several universities and research institutions working in the areas of bioscience, marine science and ocean engineering, agriculture and aquaculture, even technical innovation in digital production. These companies include Torrey Pine Institute for Molecular Studies, Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute of Oregon Health and Science University, Digital Domain, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Laboratory, the Smithsonian Marine Research Station, and the University of Florida Indian River Research and Education Center. Also planned is a new medical campus for Martin Memorial Health Systems. This local expansion is estimated to bring hundreds of new job opportunities to the St. Lucie County area. Our sixth branch office, which opened in May of 2008, is located on Gatlin Boulevard, just outside of the Tradition development.

(continued)

Table of Contents

In Martin County, some of the major employers include Martin Memorial Health Systems, Martin County School District, Publix Supermarkets, Home Depot and Armellini Express Lines. In Indian River County, some of the major employers include Indian River Medical Center, Piper Aircraft, Inc., John’s Island, Sebastian River Medical Center and Visiting Nurse Association.

As of June 30, 2010, the 203 commercial bank and thrift branch offices operating within Martin County, St. Lucie County, and Indian River County, Florida maintained aggregate deposits of approximately $10.9 billion, representing a .38% decrease over June 30, 2005 levels. Of the total deposits as of June 30, 2010, an estimated 70.3%, or $7.7 billion, of commercial bank and thrift deposits were held at offices of large, out-of-state institutions.

Competition. Our primary market areas are St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River Counties, Florida. The banking business in these areas is extremely competitive, and the level of competition may increase further, which may limit our asset growth and profitability. We experience competition in both lending and attracting deposits from other banks, savings institutions, and non-bank financial institutions located within our market area, many of which are significantly larger institutions. These institutions, which include Bank of America, Wachovia Bank (now Wells Fargo), Riverside National Bank of Florida (now TD Bank), National City Bank (now PNC Bank), Seacoast National Bank, and SunTrust Bank offer services, including extensive and established branch networks and trust services, that we do not provide. Non-bank competitors competing for deposits and deposit-type accounts include mortgage bankers and brokers, finance companies, credit unions, securities firms, money market funds, life insurance companies and the mutual funds industry. For loans, we encounter competition from other banks, savings associations, finance companies, mortgage bankers and brokers, insurance companies, small loan and credit card companies, credit unions, pension trusts and securities firms, including many competing lenders that are outside our geographic market area.

The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates, the range of financial services offered, convenience of office locations, and the flexibility of office hours. The primary factors in competing for loans include interest rates, loan fees, flexible terms, and timely loan decisions. We compete for deposits by offering a variety of deposit programs geared to our potential customers. By developing strong ties in the local community and providing a high quality of personal banking services to families, professionals, retirees, and owner-operated businesses with an emphasis on flexibility and timely responses to customer demands, we believe that we can successfully compete in our market for deposits.

With respect to loans, we have targeted small to medium-sized businesses as our customer base, because we believe that the large out-of-state financial institutions continue to shift the focus away from these business opportunities.

Loan Activities

General. Our primary business emphasis is on making commercial business, commercial real estate and consumer loans. As of December 31, 2010, the net loan portfolio totaled $161.9 million, or 69.66% of total assets.

Loan Underwriting. Loan activities are subject to underwriting standards and loan origination procedures prescribed by the board of directors and management. Loan applications are obtained to determine the borrower’s ability to repay, and the more significant items on these applications are verified through the use of credit reports, financial statements and confirmations. Our loan policy for real estate loans generally requires that collateral be appraised by an independent, outside appraiser approved by the board of directors.

(continued)

Table of Contents

General Loan Policies. Loans are approved at various management levels up to and including the board of directors, depending on the amount of the loan. Loan approvals are made in accordance with delegated authority approved by the board of directors. Generally loans less than $150,000 are approved by certain authorized officers. The President has individual loan authority up to $250,000. Loans up to $500,000 are approved by an officer’s loan committee, and loans between $500,000 and $1,000,000 are approved by a directors’ loan committee. All loans over $1,000,000 require approval by the board of directors.

For real estate loans, our policy is to have a valid mortgage lien on real estate securing a loan and to obtain a title insurance policy, which insures the validity and priority of the lien. Borrowers must also obtain hazard insurance policies prior to closing, and if the property is in a flood prone area, flood insurance is required.

We are permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the real property securing a single family residential mortgage loan. However, if the amount of a conventional, residential loan (including a construction loan or a combination construction and permanent loan) originated or refinanced exceeds 80% of the appraised value or of the purchase price, whichever is less, we are required by federal regulations to obtain private mortgage insurance on that portion of the principal amount of the loan that exceeds 80% of the value of the property or 65% on “raw” land loans. We will originate single-family residential mortgage loans with up to a 90% loan-to-value ratio if the required private mortgage insurance is obtained. Loans over 90% loan-to-value ratio are limited to special community support programs or one of the FHA, VA, or Farmers Home Administration guarantee or insurance programs. The loan-to-value ratio on a home secured by a junior lien generally does not exceed 90%, including the amount of the first mortgage, of the collateral. With respect to home loans granted for construction or combination construction/permanent financing, we will lend up to 80% of the appraised value of the property on an “as completed” basis. The loan-to-value ratio on multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans is generally limited to 80% of value. Consumer loans are considered to be loans to natural persons for personal, family or household purposes, and these loans may be unsecured, secured by personal property or secured by liens on real estate which, when aggregated with prior liens, equals or exceeds the appraised value of the collateral property.

The maximum amount which we could have loaned to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities as of December 31, 2010, was approximately $1.9 million on a secured basis, according to the Florida Banking Statutes, or $2.5 million on a secured basis, based on our in-house policy limit. Our largest loan to a single borrower is a $2.9 million loan to a corporation, secured by a first commercial real estate mortgage on a golf course and clubhouse. The loan is current.

Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by competitive factors, the demand for such loans and the supply of funds available for lending purposes. These factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions, monetary policies of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative tax policies and government budgetary matters.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are secured primarily by office, medical and retail business properties located in St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River Counties. These types of loans amounted to $92.8 million or 55.53% of the total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2010. Commercial real estate loans may be amortized for up to 25 years, but frequently mature in three to six years.

Commercial and multi-family real estate loans are originated with a loan-to-value ratio generally not exceeding 80%. Loans secured by this type of collateral will continue to be a part of our future loan program. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial property depend to a large degree on results of operations and management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. At December 31, 2010, the largest commercial and multi-family real estate loan was approximately $2.9 million to a Florida corporation, secured by a golf course and clubhouse. The loan is current.

Commercial Loans. Commercial loans are business loans that are not secured by real estate and are dependent on business cash flows for repayment. At December 31, 2010, the largest commercial loan not secured by real estate was a $405,000 loan to a corporation, secured by a ship’s mortgage on a local cruise boat. The loan is 75% guaranteed by the SBA. While we have made Small Business Administration loans, we generally will underwrite commercial loans for our own portfolio utilizing other sources of collateral and a maximum of 80% loan to value. The majority of our commercial loans are adjustable-rate loans with adjustment periods ranging from daily to 5 years. As of December 31, 2010 we had $59.0 million in commercial loans, which was 35.29% of the total loan portfolio.

Residential Real Estate Loans. We currently originate fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage loans for terms of up to 30 years. As of December 31, 2010, $9.2 million or 5.49% of our total loan portfolio consisted of one-to-four family residential real estate loans. As of such date, all of these loans were adjustable-rate mortgage loans.

The residential adjustable-rate mortgage loans currently being offered have interest rates that are fixed for a period of one, three or five years and then after the initial period the interest rate is adjusted annually based upon an index such as the yield on treasury securities adjusted to a one-year maturity, plus a margin. Most of our adjustable-rate mortgage loans limit the amount of any increase or decrease in the interest rate at each adjustment and over the life of the loan. Typical limitations are 2% for each adjustment with a limit of 6% over the life of the loan. We may offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans with different annual and life-of-loan interest change limits, shorter or longer adjustment periods and different base indices as may be appropriate to meet market demands, portfolio needs, and our interest-rate risk management goals. While the initial rate on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be below a fully indexed rate, the loan is always underwritten based on the borrower’s ability to pay at the interest rate which would be in effect after adjustment of the loan. Some adjustable-rate mortgage loans include features that allow the borrower, under special conditions, to convert the loan to a fixed rate at the then prevailing market rates.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans reduce our risk of changes in interest rates, but involve other risks because as interest rates increase, the borrower’s required payments increase, thus increasing the potential for default. Marketability of real estate loans is also affected by the level of interest rates.

Our fixed rate home loans are originated for 30-year amortization terms. Borrowers requesting a term of 15 years or less are usually granted an interest rate slightly lower than is offered for a 30-year amortizing loan. These loans are originated in compliance with documentation and underwriting standards which permit their sale in the secondary market to institutional investors such as Fannie Mae. Fixed-rate home loans include a “due on sale” clause, which provides us with the contractual right to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the event the borrower transfers ownership of the property without our consent. The “due on sale” provision is always enforced.

We generally sell all fixed rate, 30-year home loans in the secondary market. No such loans are held in our loan portfolio.

Consumer Loans. We make various types of consumer loans, the majority of which are installment loans, which also include automobile and boat loans, and home equity loans. Consumer loans are originated in order to provide a range of financial services to customers and to create stronger ties to our customers and because the shorter term and normally higher interest rates on such loans help maintain a profitable spread between our average loan yield and our cost of funds. The terms of installment consumer loans generally range from one to five years and are typically at a fixed rate of interest, while home equity loans are at a variable rate of interest. Underwriting standards for consumer loans include an assessment of the applicant’s repayment history on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loans. Although the applicant’s creditworthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, to the proposed loan amount. Consumer loans generally involve more credit risks than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral or absence of collateral. Consumer loan repayments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and are likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce and illness. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. In some cases, repossessed collateral may not provide full repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Our belief is that the yields earned on consumer loans are commensurate with the credit risk associated with such loans and, therefore, we intend to continue to increase our investment in these types of loans. As of December 31, 2010, consumer loans amounted to $6.2 million, or 3.69% of the total loan portfolio.

Income from Loan Activities. Fees are earned in connection with loan commitments and originations, loan modifications, late payments, changes of property ownership and for miscellaneous services related to loans. Income from these activities varies from period to period with the volume and type of loans originated, sold and purchased, which in turn is dependent upon prevailing interest rates and their effect on the demand for loans in our primary service area.

Loan fees typically are charged at the time of loan origination and may be a flat fee or a percentage of the amount of the loan. Current accounting standards state that the total amount of such fees cannot be recognized as income immediately; rather the fees are deferred and taken into income over the contractual life of the loan, using a level yield method. If loans are prepaid or refinanced, all remaining deferred fees with respect to such loans are taken into income at that time.

Non-performing Loans and Repossessed Assets. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, our loan officers attempt to collect the payment by contacting the borrower. If a payment on a loan has not been received by the end of a grace period (usually 10 days from the payment due date), notices are sent at that time, with follow-up contacts made thereafter. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly. If the delinquency exceeds 29 days and is not cured through normal collection procedures, more formal measures are instituted to remedy the default, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings. We will then attempt to negotiate with the delinquent borrower to establish a satisfactory payment schedule.

A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All loans past due 90 days, however, are placed on non-accrual status, unless the loan is both well collateralized and in the process of collection. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as non-accrual are recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to full collection of all principal and interest.

If foreclosure is required, when completed, the property is sold at a public auction in which we will generally participate as a bidder. If we are the successful bidder, the acquired real estate property is then included in the foreclosed assets account until it is sold. We are permitted under federal regulations to finance sales of foreclosed assets by “loans to facilitate,” which may involve more favorable interest rates and terms than generally would be granted under normal underwriting guidelines.

At December 31, 2010, we had $12.3 million of non-accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more, and troubled debt restructured of $10.8 million. As of December 31, 2010, we have $9.2 million in foreclosed assets.

Asset Classification. Commercial banks are required to review and when appropriate classify their assets on a regular basis. The FDIC and state banking examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. If full collection of principal and interest is doubtful, the insured institution establishes a specific allowance for loan losses, in accordance with the guidelines established under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All or a portion of general loan loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital. Assets that do not warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses, are classified as special mention and are closely monitored.

In 2010, non-performing assets totaled $21.5 million or 9.26% of total assets, as a result of a deterioration in credit quality and borrowers’ ability to meet their loan obligations, due mostly to the drop in real estate values and overall recessionary pressures.

Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against income. Loans are charged against the provision when we believe that the full collection of principal and interest is doubtful or when an actual loss is incurred. The provision is an estimated amount that we believe will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on evaluations of its collectibility. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific impaired loans, and current anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While we use the best information available to us to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the provision may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. At December 31, 2010, our total allowance for loan losses was approximately $4.8 million representing 2.88% of total loans.

Personnel. As of December 31, 2010, we had 68 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees. The employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. We believe our relations with our employees to be good.

Employees are covered by a comprehensive employee benefit program which provides for, among other benefits, hospitalization and major medical insurance, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and education assistance. Such employee benefits are considered by management to be generally competitive with employee benefits provided by other major employers in our geographic market area.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

As a one-bank holding company, we are subject to an extensive body of state and federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific requirements and restrictions on virtually all aspects of our operations. We are affected by government monetary policy and by regulatory measures affecting the banking industry in general.

The following is a brief summary of some of the statutes, rules and regulations which affect our operations. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to our business. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

FPB Bancorp, Inc.

We are a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As such, we are required to file annual reports and other information with the Federal Reserve regarding our business operations and those of our subsidiary. We are also subject to the supervision of, and to periodic inspections by, the Federal Reserve.

The Bank Holding Company Act generally requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before:

·	Acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of a bank;
·	Acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company: or
·	Merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

The Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve, require that, depending on the particular circumstances, either the Federal Reserve’s approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to the Federal Reserve and not disapproved prior to any person or company, not a bank holding company, acquiring control of a bank holding company, subject to certain exemptions. Control is conclusively presumed to exist when an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction.

Except as authorized by the Bank Holding Company Act and Federal Reserve regulations or order, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in any business other than the business of banking or managing and controlling banks. Some of the activities the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of banking, and thus permissible for bank holding companies, include:

·	Making or servicing loans and certain types of leases;

·	Engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities;

·	Performing certain data processing services;

·	Acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial advisor;

·	Providing management consulting services;

·	Owning savings associations; and

·	Making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare.

In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary banks. In adhering to the Federal Reserve’s policy, we may be required to provide financial support to the Bank at a time when, absent such Federal Reserve policy, it might not be deemed advisable to provide such assistance. Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve may also require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary (other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that the activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or non-bank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.

First Peoples Bank

As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Department and the FDIC. Through December of 2013, our deposits are insured by the FDIC for a maximum of $250,000 per account title, and unlimited for all non-interest bearing accounts through December 31, 2012. For this protection, we must pay a semi-annual statutory assessment and comply with the rules and regulations of the FDIC. The assessment levied on a bank for deposit insurance varies, depending on the capital position of each bank, and other supervisory factors. Currently, we are subject to the statutory assessment.

Areas regulated and monitored by the bank regulatory authorities include:

·	Security devices and procedures;

·	Adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves;

Loans;

·	Investments;

·	Borrowings;

Deposits;

Mergers;

·	Issuances of securities;

·	Payment of dividends;

·	Establishment of branches;

·	Corporate reorganizations;

·	Transactions with affiliates;

·	Maintenance of books and records; and

·	Adequacy of staff training to carry out safe lending and deposit gathering practices.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Until a bank and its holding company’s assets reach $500 million, the capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve are applied to bank holding companies on a non- consolidated basis, unless the bank holding company is engaged in non-bank activities involving significant leverage, or it has a significant amount of outstanding debt held by the general public. The Department’s and the FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines apply directly to insured state banks, regardless of whether they are subsidiaries of a bank holding company. Both agencies’ requirements, which are substantially similar, establish minimum capital ratios in relation to assets, both on an aggregate basis as adjusted for credit risks and off balance sheet exposures. The risk weights assigned to assets are based primarily on credit risks. Depending upon the riskiness of a particular asset, it is assigned to a risk category. For example, securities with an unconditional guarantee by the United States government are assigned to the lowest risk category. The aggregate amount of assets assigned to each risk category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category to determine the weighted values, which are added together to determine total risk-weighted assets.

Capital is then classified into two categories, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying preferred shareholder’s equity, less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of mandatory convertible, subordinated, and other qualifying term debt, preferred stock not qualifying for Tier 1 capital, and a limited amount of allowance for credit losses, up to a designated percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based guidelines, financial institutions must maintain a specified minimum ratio of “qualifying” capital to risk-weighted assets. At least 50% of an institution’s qualifying capital must be “core” or “Tier 1” capital, and the balance may be “supplementary” or “Tier 2” capital. In addition, the guidelines require banks to maintain a minimum leverage ratio standard of capital adequacy. The leverage standard requires top-rated institutions to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital to assets ratio of 3%. All other institutions are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4% or greater, based upon their particular circumstances and risk profiles.

Federal banking regulators have adopted regulations revising the risk-based capital guidelines to further ensure that the guidelines take adequate account of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the adverse effect that changes in market interest rates may have on a bank’s financial condition and is inherent to the business of banking. Under the regulations, when evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy, the revised capital standards now explicitly include a bank’s exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates. The exposure of a bank’s economic value generally represents the change in the present value of its assets, less the change in the value of its liabilities, plus the change in the value of its interest rate off-balance sheet contracts.

Federal bank regulatory agencies possess broad powers to take prompt corrective action as deemed appropriate for an insured depository institution and its holding company, based on the institution’s capital levels. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institution in question is considered “well-capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly under-capitalized”, or “critically undercapitalized”. Generally, as an institution is deemed to be less well-capitalized, the scope and severity of the agencies’ powers increase, ultimately permitting the agency to appoint a receiver for the institution. Business activities may also be influenced by an institution’s capital classification. For instance, only a “well-capitalized” depository institution may accept brokered deposits without prior regulatory approval, and can engage in various expansion activities with prior notice, rather than prior regulatory approval. However, rapid growth, poor loan portfolio performance or poor earnings performance, or a combination of these factors, could change the capital position of our subsidiary banks in a relatively short period of time. Failure to meet these capital requirements could subject the subsidiary banks to prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC, which may include filing with the appropriate bank regulatory authorities a plan describing the means and a schedule for achieving the minimum capital requirements. In addition, we would not be able to receive regulatory approval of any application that required consideration of capital adequacy, such as a branch or merger application, unless we could demonstrate a reasonable plan to meet the capital requirement within an acceptable period of time.

Dividends

Our ability to pay further cash dividends may depend almost entirely upon the amount of dividends that the Bank is permitted to pay by statutes or regulations. Additionally, the Florida Business Corporation Act provides that we may only pay dividends if the dividend payment would not render us insolvent, or unable to meet our obligations as they come due.

The Department limits a bank’s ability to pay dividends. As a state-chartered bank, we are subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends, including a prohibition of payment of dividends from the banks’ capital under certain circumstances without the prior approval of the Department and the FDIC. Except with the prior approval of the Department, all dividends of any Florida bank must be paid out of retained net profits from the current period and the previous two years, after deducting expenses, including losses and bad debts. In addition, a state-chartered bank in Florida is required to transfer at least 20% of its net income to surplus until their surplus equals the amount of paid-in capital.

Other Laws

The Dodd-Frank Act. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. The Dodd-Frank Act will have a broad impact on the financial services industry, imposing significant regulatory and compliance changes, including the designation of certain financial companies as systemically significant, the imposition of increased capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements, and numerous other provisions designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthen safety and soundness within, the financial services sector. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new framework of authority to conduct systemic risk oversight within the financial system to be distributed among new and existing federal regulatory agencies, including the Financial Stability Oversight Council, or Council, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the FDIC.

(continued)

Table of Contents

The following items provide a brief description of certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

·	Source of strength. The Dodd-Frank Act requires all companies that directly or indirectly control an insured depository institution to serve as a source of strength for the institution.

·	Limitation on federal preemption. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly reduces the ability of national banks and federal thrifts to rely upon federal preemption of state consumer financial laws.

Mortgage loan origination and risk retention. The Dodd-Frank Act contains additional regulatory requirements that may affect our operations and result in increased compliance costs. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act imposes new standards for mortgage loan originations on all lenders, including banks and thrifts, in an effort to require steps to verify a borrower's ability to repay. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act generally requires lenders or securitizers to retain an economic interest in the credit risk relating to loans the lender sells or mortgage and other asset-backed securities that the securitizer issues. The risk retention requirement generally will be 5%, but could be increased or decreased by regulation.

Imposition of restrictions on certain activities. The Dodd-Frank Act requires new regulations for the over-the-counter derivatives market, including requirements for clearing, exchange trading, capital, margin, and reporting. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act requires that certain swaps and derivatives activities be "pushed out" of insured depository institutions and conducted in non-bank affiliates.

Expanded FDIC resolution authority. While insured depository institutions have long been subject to the FDIC's resolution process, the Dodd-Frank Act creates a new mechanism for the FDIC to conduct the orderly liquidation of certain "covered financial companies," including bank and thrift holding companies and systemically significant non-bank financial companies.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new independent CFPB within the Federal Reserve. The CFPB is tasked with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of certain consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has rulemaking authority over many of the statutes governing products and services offered to bank and thrift consumers.

·	Deposit insurance. The Dodd-Frank Act makes permanent the general $250,000 deposit insurance limit for insured deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act also extends until January 1, 2013, federal deposit coverage for the full net amount held by depositors in non-interest bearing transaction accounts.

·	Transactions with affiliates and insiders. The Dodd-Frank Act generally enhances the restrictions on transactions with affiliates under Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, including an expansion of the definition of "covered transactions."

·	Enhanced lending limits. The Dodd-Frank Act strengthens the existing limits on a depository institution's credit exposure to one borrower.

Corporate governance. The Dodd-Frank Act addresses many investor protection, corporate governance and executive compensation matters that will affect most U.S. publicly traded companies, including the Company. The Dodd-Frank Act (1) grants stockholders of U.S. publicly traded companies an advisory vote on executive compensation; (2) enhances independence requirements for compensation committee members; (3) requires companies listed on national securities exchanges to adopt incentive-based compensation clawback policies for executive officers; and (4) provides the SEC with authority to adopt proxy access rules that would allow stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as a director and have those nominees included in a company's proxy materials.

Table of Contents

Many of the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to regulations implemented over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear.

State usury and credit laws limit the amount of interest and various other charges collected or contracted by a bank on loans. Our loans are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

·	Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, which governs disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

·	Community Reinvestment Act, which requires financial institutions to meet their obligations to provide for the total credit needs of the communities they serve, including investing their assets in loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers;

·	Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligations to meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

·	Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibitive factors in extending credit;

·	Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, which requires lenders to disclose certain information regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements, and prohibits certain lending practices, as well as limits escrow account amounts in real estate transactions;

·	Fair Credit Reporting Act governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and

·	The rules and regulations of various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

Our operations are also subject to the:

The privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which requires us to maintain privacy policies intended to safeguard consumer financial information, to disclose these policies to our customers, and allow customers to “opt out” of having their financial service providers disclose their confidential financial information to non-affiliated third parties, subject to certain exceptions;

·	Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records; and

·	Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E, which govern automatic deposits to, and withdrawals from, deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of debit cards, automated teller machines and other electronic banking services.

Interstate Banking and Branching

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, eligible bank holding companies in any state are permitted, with Federal Reserve approval, to acquire banking organizations in any other state. The Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act also removed substantially all of the prohibitions on interstate branching by banks. The authority of a bank to establish and operate branches within a state, however, continues to be subject to applicable state branching laws. Under current Florida law, we are permitted to establish branch offices throughout Florida with the prior approval of the Department and the FDIC. In addition, with prior regulatory approval, we would be able to acquire existing banking operations in other states.

Table of Contents

Financial Modernization

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 sought to achieve significant modernization of the federal bank regulatory framework by allowing the consolidation of banking institutions with other types of financial services firms, subject to various restrictions and requirements. In general, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed most of the federal statutory barriers which separated commercial banking firms from insurance and securities firms and authorized the consolidation of such firms in a “financial services holding company”. We have no immediate plans to utilize the structural options created by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, but may develop such plans in the future.

Anti-Money Laundering

After September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., the United States government acted in several ways to tighten control on activities perceived to be connected to money laundering and terrorist funding. A series of orders were issued which identify terrorists and terrorist organizations and require the blocking of property and assets of, as well as prohibiting all transactions or dealings with, such terrorists, terrorist organizations and those that assist or sponsor them. The USA Patriot Act enacted in 2001:

·	Substantially broadens existing anti-money laundering legislation and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the United States;

·	Imposes new compliance and due diligence obligations;

·	Creates new crimes and penalties;

·	Compels the production of documents located both inside and outside the United States; including those of foreign institutions that have a correspondent relationship in the United States; and

·	Clarifies the safe harbor from civil liability to customers.

·	In addition, the United States Treasury Department issued regulations in cooperation with the federal banking agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Department of Justice to:

·	Require customer identification and verification;

·	Expand the money-laundering program requirement to the major financial services sectors; including insurance and unregistered investment companies, such as hedge funds; and

·	Facilitate and permit the sharing of information between law enforcement and financial institutions, as well as among financial institutions themselves.

The United States Treasury Department also has created the Treasury USA PATRIOT Act Task Force to work with other financial regulators, the regulated community, law enforcement and consumers to continually improve the regulations. Recently, enforcement of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations has greatly increased from both State and Federal regulators.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act

In response to the financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (“EESA”) was signed into law on October 3, 2008, and established the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). As part of TARP, the U.S. Treasury established the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) to provide up to $700 billion of funding to eligible financial institutions through the purchase of capital stock and other financial instruments for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On December 5, 2008, FPB issued $5.8 million in preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 183,158 shares of common stock at $4.75 to the U.S. Treasury. In connection with EESA, there have been numerous actions by the Federal Reserve Board, Congress, the U.S. Treasury, the FDIC, the SEC and others to further the economic and banking industry stabilization efforts under EESA. It remains unclear at this time what further legislative and regulatory measures will be implemented under EESA affecting FPB.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package. ARRA includes a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health, and education needs. In addition, ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future CPP recipients that are in addition to those previously announced by the U.S. Treasury, until the institution has repaid the U.S. Treasury, which is now permitted under ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the U.S. Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.

Future Legislation

Various other legislative and regulatory initiatives, including proposals to overhaul the banking regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository institution may make with insured funds, are from time to time introduced in Congress and state legislatures, as well as regulatory agencies. Such legislation may change banking statutes and the operating environment of FPB and the Bank in substantial and unpredictable ways, and could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance depending upon whether any of this potential legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it or any implementing regulations, would have on the financial condition or results of operations of FPB or the Bank. With the recent enactments of EESA and ARRA, the nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions is very unpredictable at this time. FPB cannot determine the ultimate effect that such potential legislation, if enacted, would have upon its financial condition or operations.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

+Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of FPB’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Table of Contents

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

The Board through the Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee annually reviews the composition of the Board, as a whole, to consider if there is an appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, and diversity in the Board, and whether there is at least a minimum number of independent directors as required by applicable rules and regulations. The Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee considers if the Board’s composition accurately reflects FPB’s needs, and will, if necessary, propose the addition or resignation of members in order to obtain an appropriate balance and skill level.

Our directors are required to commit a requisite amount of time for preparation and attendance at regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings, as well as be able to participate in other matters necessary to ensure FPB is appropriately governed. In evaluating our directors for nomination, the Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee considers what is in the best interest of FPB and its shareholders, including such things as the knowledge, experience, integrity, and judgment of each individual; the past and/or potential contributions of each individual; an individual’s ability to devote sufficient time and effort to the duties required as Board member; independence and willingness to consider all strategic proposals; core competencies; or other technical experience. In addition, the directors are assessed on their integrity, judgment, knowledge, experience, skills, and expertise and their ability to oversee and direct the affairs of FPB.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit/Compliance Committee - Pursuant to its Charter, the Audit/Compliance Committee reviews FPB’s and the Bank’s auditing, accounting, financial reporting, and internal control functions. This Committee recommends the independent auditing firm and reviews its services. Each member of the Committee is considered independent under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). The Committee met four times in 2010. All Committee members attended at least 75% of the Committee meetings.

Report of the Audit/Compliance Committee

The audit functions of the Audit/Compliance Committee are focused on three areas: the adequacy of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal controls and financial reporting process and the reliability of FPB’s and the Bank’s financial statements; the performance of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal auditors and the independence and performance of FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors; and ensuring FPB and the Bank are in compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The Audit/Compliance Committee also recommends to the Board the appointment of the independent auditors and reviews their performance, fees, and independence from management. Members of the Audit/Compliance Committee met with management periodically to consider the adequacy of FPB’s and the Bank’s internal controls and the objectivity of their financial reporting. These matters were discussed with FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors and with appropriate company financial personnel. The independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Committee, and vice versa.

The Board of Directors has determined that none of the members of the Audit/ Compliance Committee has a relationship to FPB or the Bank that may interfere with a member’s independence from FPB and the Bank and its management.

Chairman Gary A. Berger, a Certified Public Accountant, has extensive auditing experience, and the Board has determined that he has the requisite financial expertise to qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission Rules. Accordingly, the Board has designated Chairman Berger to hold that position.

Table of Contents

Management has primary responsibility for preparing FPB’s and the Bank’s financial statements and the overall reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors audit the annual financial statements prepared by management, express an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of FPB and the Bank in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The independent auditors discuss any issues they believe should be brought to the Audit/Compliance Committee’s attention. The Audit/Compliance Committee monitors these processes, relying without independent verification, on the information provided and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.

This year, the Audit/Compliance Committee reviewed FPB’s unaudited Form 10-Qs for quarters ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010, and September 30, 2010, and audited financial statements as of, and for, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Audit/Compliance Committee met with both management and FPB’s and the Bank’s independent auditors to discuss those filings and financial statements. Management has represented to the Audit/Compliance Committee that the quarter ended filings and financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Audit/Compliance Committee has received from and discussed with Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. the written disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). These items relate to that firm’s independence from FPB and the Bank. The Audit/Compliance Committee also discussed with Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. any matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. (Communication with Audit Committees).

Based on these reviews and discussions, the members of the Audit/Compliance Committee recommended to the Board that FPB’s and the Bank’s audited financial statements be included in FPB’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION GENERALLY

Our executive compensation program has been developed with the intent of attracting and retaining qualified management, meeting our short-term financial goals, and enhancing long-term shareholder value.

FPB currently does not compensate its executive officers, other than granting stock options and the compensation that is paid by the Bank. We strive to pay each executive officer the base salary that would be paid on the open market for a similarly qualified officer with the same position. The Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Bank’s Personnel/ Compensation/Nominating Committee, determines the level of base salary and any incentive bonus for the Chief Executive Officer and other officers of FPB and the Bank based upon competitive norms, derived from annual surveys published by several independent banking institutes or private companies specializing in analysis of financial institutions. Such surveys provide information regarding compensation of financial institution officers and employees based on the size and geographic location of the financial institution and serve as a benchmark for determining executive salaries. Salary adjustments and discretionary bonus awards are based upon the Board of Directors’ and the Bank’s Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee’s evaluation of FPB’s and the Bank’s performance, the officer’s responsibilities, and individual performance standards.

Bonuses and Salary Determinations

The continuing economic recession and declining real estate values have adversely affected most financial institution related businesses, including FPB and the Bank, within FPB’s and the Bank’s market areas. As a result, FPB’s 2010 results of operations and the market price of our common stock have continued to be negatively impacted. The Personnel/Compensation/ Nominating Committee, therefore, recommended to the Board that no bonuses or salary increases should be awarded to members of our senior management for 2010.

Employment Agreements

FPB does not currently have any employment agreements with its employees. The Bank, however, entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) with David W. Skiles on September 5, 2007. The Agreement has an initial term of three years, commencing on August 1, 2007. Under the Agreement, Mr. Skiles serves as the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Bank. The term of the Agreement is automatically renewed for one additional year on each anniversary of the effective date, until the earlier of July 31, 2012, or upon notice by one of the parties. The Bank’s Board or its Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee must annually review the Agreement and Mr. Skiles’ performance at the Bank to determine if such renewals should be continued. Mr. Skiles is also eligible to participate in FPB’s 2005 Stock Compensation Plan, in the capacities of both an employee and a director. The Agreement also provides that the Bank will pay for Mr. Skiles’ membership in one country club in order to further his presence and recognition in the community.

Table of Contents

Mr. Skiles may terminate the Agreement for any reason upon 90 days written notice to the Bank. In the event the Agreement is terminated by Mr. Skiles without “good reason” or by the Bank for “cause” (as those terms are defined in the Agreement), Mr. Skiles shall be entitled to no further compensation, except what has already accrued. Under the Agreement Mr. Skiles is subject to a non-compete provision, which prohibits him from becoming employed, directly or indirectly, at any financial institution, financial institution holding company, bank holding company, or other financial service provider in St. Lucie County, or in such other counties that the Bank has a branch office for six months following his termination for any reason. He is also subject to a non-solicitation provision, which provides that he may not solicit business from any current customer of the Bank or solicit any employees of the Bank for a period of six months following his termination for any reason. If the Agreement is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than “cause” or by Mr. Skiles for “good reason” he will be entitled to a severance payment equal to his annual base salary, which shall be payable in substantially equal semi-monthly installments. He would also be entitled to continued participation in the Bank’s employee benefit plans and programs for the shorter of one year or until he becomes eligible to participate in comparable plans provided by another employer. In addition, should FPB or the Bank undergo a “change in control” (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Skiles will be entitled to receive a change in control payment equal to 2.5 times his base salary, as averaged for the five year period prior to the change in control.

Mr. Skiles’ Agreement also provides him with the following benefits: eligibility to receive an annual performance bonus, not to exceed 40% of his base salary; five weeks paid vacation; and $600 per month automobile allowance. The Agreement also references two separate employment related agreements that Mr. Skiles has entered into with the Bank. On December 23, 2005 the Bank and Mr. Skiles entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement, which provides that the Bank will match his contributions up to 2.5% of his base salary. Mr. Skiles also entered into a Split Dollar Agreement with the Bank, dated February 15, 2006, which provides Mr. Skiles with a $200,000 life insurance benefit.

Due to our participation in the Capital Purchase Program, FPB and thus the Bank is restricted in their abilities to pay certain forms of executive compensation. Consequently, we have amended Mr. Skiles’s Agreement in order to suspend our obligation to make any golden parachute payments during any period of time when such payments are prohibited. We have also suspended the consideration of paying any cash bonuses to Mr. Skiles while we are a participant in the Capital Purchase Program.

In addition, the Bank entered into new Change in Control Agreements (“CIC Agreements”) in June 2009 with three of its executive officers, Marge Riley, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Nancy E. Aumack, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and William V. West, Senior Vice President and Senior Lender. The CIC Agreements were made in recognition of these individuals’ continued service with FPB and the Bank, but do not constitute employment agreements that would give these individuals any right to continued employment with either FPB or the Bank.

All three CIC Agreements provide that the executive officers will receive cash severance payments if they are terminated by the Bank without “just cause,” as defined in the CIC Agreements, as a result of a Change in Control of either FPB or the Bank, including if a contemplated Change in Control occurs within six months of their termination by the Bank. In addition, if the executive officers elect to resign within ninety days of a Change in Control of either FPB or the Bank, they will receive the cash severance payment. Ms. Aumack’s and Mr. West’s CIC Agreements each provide for a severance payment in the amount of two times their “highest annual base salary,” which is defined to be their highest base salary plus their average annual bonus during the three years immediately preceding their termination. Ms. Riley’s CIC Agreement provides that she will receive two and a half times her highest annual base salary. The payments are to be made to the employees in one lump sum within ten days of the termination of employment. In addition, the employees are entitled to continuation of their insurance benefits until the earlier of obtaining new employment with similar benefits or six months after termination.

(continued)

Table of Contents

All of the CIC Agreements provide for a term of two years, unless otherwise extended by the parties, commencing on August 1, 2009 and ending on July 31, 2011. In consideration of the Bank’s execution of these CIC Agreements, the employees have agreed that during the term of the CIC Agreements and for a period of six months following their termination for any reason other than a Change in Control, they will not become employed with another financial institution located in any county in which the Bank operates a branch office (including, but not limited to, St. Lucie County, Indian River County, or Martin County) or otherwise compete with FPB or the Bank.

In addition, due to FPB’s participation in the Capital Purchase Program, FPB must abide by certain restrictions on executive compensation payments, which are further detailed in the following section. The CIC Agreements provide that if federal law in some way prohibits the payment otherwise required under the CIC Agreements, the Bank’s obligation to make such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Bank is legally permitted to make the payments.

CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM

FPB is participating in the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) subdivision of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was established by the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). Under the CPP, the Treasury purchased shares of senior preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock (“Warrant”). As a condition of participation, the Treasury requires the adoption of certain standards and restrictions on our executive compensation.

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”). ARRA significantly amended the executive compensation limitations of the EESA. ARRA has imposed considerable implications on our compensation arrangements. ARRA directs the Treasury to establish standards and rules on executive compensation practices of CPP recipients. The Treasury has set forth certain standards and limits our compensation practices, including:

limits on compensation that exclude incentives for senior executive officers (“SEOs,” which would include Chief Executive Officer and President Skiles, Chief Financial Officer Aumack, and the next three most highly compensated employees) to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of FPB;

Ø	provision for the recovery or “clawback” of any bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation paid to a SEO or the next twenty most highly compensated employees based on materially inaccurate statements of earnings, revenues, gains, or other criteria;

Ø	prohibition on making any golden parachute payment to a SEO or any of the next five most highly compensated employees;

Ø	prohibition on the payment or accrual of bonus, retention award, or incentive compensation of certain highly compensated employees, subject to certain exceptions for payments made in the form of restricted stock;

Ø	prohibition on employee compensation plans that would encourage manipulation of earnings reported by FPB to enhance any employee’s compensation;

Ø	having our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee comprised of independent directors that meet at least semi-annually to review employee compensation plans and the risks posed by these plans to FPB;

(continued)

Table of Contents

Ø	adoption of an excessive or luxury expenditures policy;

Ø	disclosure of perquisites offered to SEOs and certain other highly compensated employees;

Ø	disclosures related to compensation consultant engagement;

Ø	prohibition on tax gross-ups to SEOs and certain highly compensated employees;

Ø	compliance with federal securities rules and regulations regarding the submission of a non-binding resolution on SEO compensation to shareholders (say on pay); and

Ø	establishment of the Office of the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation (“Special Master”) to address the application of these rules to TARP participants and their employees.

Restriction on Bonuses

The amount of financial assistance that a TARP participant received is the determining factor in the number of employees that are subject to the restriction on the payment or accrual of bonuses, retention awards, and other incentive compensation to SEOs. For FPB, which received less than $25,000,000, this prohibition applies to only Chief Executive Officer and President Skiles, as our most highly compensated employee. Stock options are specifically included in the definition of an incentive plan, and are therefore subject to the bonus restrictions and may not be granted to Chief Executive Officer and President Skiles.

An exception from such restriction is for restricted stock or restricted stock units, so long as the stock or stock units do not fully vest until the TARP assistance has been repaid, and so that they do not have a value that is greater than one-third of the total amount of annual compensation. The restricted stock may not become transferrable earlier than 25% of the shares at the time 25% of the aggregate TARP assistance is repaid to the government and in additional 25% tranches when each additional 25% of assistance is repaid. In addition, employees must forfeit restricted stock or units if the employee does not continue to perform substantial services for at least two years from the date of grant, other than on account of death, disability, or a change of control.

In addition, such restrictions do not apply to bonus payments that are required to be paid under written employment contracts that have been executed on or prior to February 11, 2009. Provided, however, an employee must have had the legal right to the bonus as of February 11, 2009 and not just be a participant in a plan or agreement that will provide a bonus at a future date.

Whether an employee has accrued bonus, retention award, or other incentive compensation is determined based on the specific facts and circumstances. However, a participant may not merely circumvent the application of the bonus restrictions by delaying bonus payments until after the employee is no longer subject to the prohibition or granting retroactive service credits after the employee is no longer subject to the bonus restrictions.

Perquisites

Furthermore, we must disclose to the Treasury and our primary federal regulator annually, within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, any perquisites whose total value exceeds $25,000 for any employee who is subject to the limitations on bonus payments. The amount and nature of the perquisite along with justification for the perquisite must be disclosed.

Table of Contents

Clawback of Bonuses, Retention Awards, and Other Incentive Compensation

In addition, bonuses, retention awards, and other incentive compensation made to FPB’s SEOs and the next twenty most highly compensated employees during the TARP period must be subject to a recovery or clawback if such payment was based upon materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria. This clawback provision is more extensive than the one contained under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in that it applies to a broader group of employees, applies to retention awards, is not exclusively triggered by an accounting restatement, does not limit the recovery period, and includes material inaccuracies beyond financial reporting (such as performance metrics).

Prohibition on Golden Parachute Payments

Golden parachute payments are prohibited for SEOs and any of the next five most highly compensated employees during the TARP period. A golden parachute payment:

Ø	Is any payment: (i) for the departure from employment for any reason; or (ii) due to a change in control;

Ø	Includes acceleration of vesting due to the departure or the change in control;

Ø	Is treated as paid at the time of departure or change in control and thus may include a right to amounts actually payable after the TARP period;

Ø	Excludes payments for services performed or benefits accrued (payments that would have to be paid whether or not the employee departs or a change in control occurs, or if the payment is due upon departure, regardless of whether the departure is voluntary or involuntary);

Excludes payments from benefit plans and deferred compensation plans if: (i) the plan was in effect at least one year prior to the employee’s departure; (ii) the payment is made pursuant to the plan and in accordance with the terms of the plan as in effect no later than one year before departure; (iii) the employee has a vested right to the payments at the time of the departure or change in control; (iv) benefits under the plan are accrued each period only for current or prior service; (v) any payments are not based on discretionary acceleration of vesting or accrual of benefits that occurs at any time later than one year before the departure or change in control; and (vi) with respect to deferred compensation plans, FPB has previously recognized compensation expense and accrued liability for the benefit payments in accordance with GAAP;

Ø	Excludes payments from pension or qualified retirement plans;

Ø	Excludes payments made for a departure on account of the employee’s death or disability; and

Ø	Excludes severance or similar payments required to be made pursuant to a state statute or foreign law that is applicable to all employers within the appropriate jurisdiction.

Table of Contents

Excessive or Luxury Expenditures Policy

FPB’s Board must also adopt an excessive or luxury expenditures policy, which must be filed with the Treasury and posted on our website. The purpose of this policy is to ensure there is an appropriate review and approval of potentially excessive and luxury expenditures. The provisions of our policy include:

Ø	Identification of types and categories of expenses prohibited or requiring prior approval;

Ø	The adoption of approval procedures for those expenses requiring prior approval;

Ø	A mandate that the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer provide a certification for the prior approval of any expenditures requiring the prior approval;

Ø	Providing for a prompt internal reporting of any violation of the policy; and

Ø	Accountability for adherence to the policy.

Compensation Consultant

FPB must disclose to the Treasury and our primary federal regulator annually whether or not it or its Board or Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee has engaged a compensation consultant and provide a description of all types of services that such compensation consultant has provided during the past three years. We have elected not to retain the services of a compensation consultant.

Compensation Committee

TARP recipients must establish a compensation committee consisting of independent directors within the later of 90 days following the closing date of the TARP agreement or September 14, 2009. FPB had already established its Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee prior to our participation in TARP. Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee must discuss, evaluate, and review at least once every six months the SEO and employee compensation plans and the risks posed by these plans to FPB, to ensure that the compensation plans do not encourage SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that may threaten the value of FPB. The Personnel/Compensation/ Nominating Committee must also discuss, evaluate, and review at least every six months the employee compensation plans in light of the risks posed to FPB by such plans and how to best limit such risks. Every six months our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee must also discuss, evaluate, and review the executive compensation plans to ensure that the plans do not encourage the manipulation of reported earnings in order to enhance the compensation of any of our employees.

At least once per fiscal year, our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee must provide a narrative description that:

Identifies each SEO compensation plan and explains how the SEO compensation plans do not encourage the SEOs to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the company, including how the SEO compensation plans do not encourage behavior focused on short term results rather than on long term value creation;

Ø	Identifies each employee compensation plan and the risks posed by employee compensation plans and explains how these risks were limited, including how these plans do not encourage behavior focused on short term results rather than on long term value creation; and

Ø	Explains how the company has ensured that the employee compensation plans do not encourage manipulation of earnings to enhance the compensation of any employee.

FPB must provide this narrative disclosure and the applicable certifications to our primary federal regulatory and to the Treasury within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year.

Table of Contents

Tax Gross Ups

FPB is prohibited from providing tax gross ups or other reimbursements for the payments of taxes to any of the SEOs and the next twenty most highly compensated employees relating to severance payments, perquisites, or any other form of compensation.

Say on Pay Shareholder Resolution

FPB must comply with federal securities rules and regulations regarding a non-binding shareholder resolution on SEO compensation (“say on pay”). Any proxy, consent, or authorization for an annual or other shareholder meeting must permit a separate shareholder vote to approve the compensation of executives, including the compensation tables, and any related materials.

Acquisitions of TARP Participants

When a TARP participant is acquired by a company that is not a TARP participant, the acquiring company does not become subject to the TARP restrictions as a result of the acquisition. In addition, employees of the targeted TARP participant who are subject to the executive compensation restrictions immediately prior to the acquisition will no longer be subject to such restrictions after the acquisition. However, if the primary purpose of the acquisition is to avoid or evade the TARP compensation restrictions, then the acquirer will be treated as a TARP participant.

Certifications of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer

Our Principal Executive Officer (Chief Executive Officer and President Skiles) and Principal Financial Officer (Chief Financial Officer Aumack) provide certain certifications within 90 days of the completion of each fiscal year any part of which is a TARP period. Such certifications must verify that:

Ø	Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee has met at least every six months during the prior fiscal year with the senior risk officer to discuss and evaluate SEO compensation plans and employee compensation plans and the risks these plans pose to FPB;

Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee has identified and limited the features in the SEO compensation plans that could lead SEOs to take unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten the value of FPB, has identified any features in the employee compensation plans that pose risks to FPB, and has limited those features to ensure FPB is not unnecessarily exposed to risks;

Ø	Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee has reviewed at least every six months the terms of each employee compensation plan and identified and limited the features in the plan that could encourage the manipulation of reported earnings to enhance the compensation of any employee;

Ø	Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee will certify to these reviews;

Our Personnel/Compensation/Nominating Committee will provide a narrative description of how it limited the features in compensation plans that could lead executives to take unnecessary and excessive risks that could threaten the value of FPB, and ensured that compensation plans did not unnecessarily expose FPB to risks or would otherwise encourage the manipulation of reported earnings;

(continued)

Table of Contents

All bonuses, retention awards, and incentive compensation of the SEOs and the next twenty most highly compensated employees are subject to a provision for recovery or “clawback” if the payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance criteria;

Ø	Golden parachute payments to SEOs and the next five most highly compensated employees are prohibited;

Ø	The bonuses, retention awards, and incentive compensation paid to or accrued by employees to whom the bonus payment limitation is applicable have been limited as restricted;

Ø	FPB will permit a non-binding shareholder resolution on the SEO compensation disclosures provided under the federal securities laws;

Ø	Interpreting TARP and ARRA rules and regulations to determine how they apply to particular facts circumstances;

Ø	Reviewing bonuses, retention awards, and other compensation paid prior to February 17, 2009 to employees of entities receiving TARP assistance prior to such date to determine whether any such payments were inconsistent with the purposes of TARP;

Ø	Providing advisory opinions on compensation structures or compensation payments to employees of TARP participants; and

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

FPB does not have any related transactions with its directors or executive officers and it does not make loans to its directors or executive officers. However, certain directors, executive officers, and their immediate family members are customers of the Bank. It is anticipated that such individuals will continue these relationships in the future. Loans made to directors, executive officers, and their immediate families require approval of a majority of the disinterested directors approving the loan. All transactions between FPB, the Bank, and their directors, executive officers, the immediate family members of such directors and executive officers, and any principal shareholders, were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated persons, and in the opinion of management, did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present any other unfavorable features.

As of December 31, 2010, loans to directors, executive officers, and their immediate family members represented $4.0 million, or approximately 2.39% of the total loan portfolio, all of which are current and performing according to their terms.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Hacker, Johnson & Smith, P.A. (“Hacker, Johnson”) served as the independent auditors for FPB and the Bank for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Tax Fees: In 2009 and 2010, Hacker, Johnson also billed FPB $5,000 and $5,000 respectively, for tax compliance and advice, including the preparation of FPB’s corporate tax returns.

All Other Fees: Hacker, Johnson also billed the company for audit services related to stock offerings, in the amounts of $35,000 in 2009 and $15,000 in 2010.

In all instances, Hacker, Johnson’s performance of those services was pre-approved by FPB’s Audit/Compliance Committee, pursuant to its internal policies.
