NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.

Note 2.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements to disclose for the first quarter of 2012.

At March 31, 2012, 185 debt securities have gross unrealized losses of $6.1 million or 1.5% of amortized cost. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts contractually due and has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until the fair value is at least equal to the carrying value. The Company had 66 U.S. Government agency securities and 113 corporate debt securities that had gross unrealized losses for less than 12 months. The Company had 6 corporate debt securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. All securities with unrealized losses greater than 12 months were classified as available for sale with amortized cost of $2.4 million. Securities with unrealized losses less than 12 months included $367.6 million amortized cost classified as available for sale and $40.4 million amortized cost classified as held to maturity. 

If impairment is other than temporary for equity securities, then an impairment loss shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment would then become the new amortized cost basis of the investment and is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. For debt securities, other than temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the Company is required to sell or is more likely than not to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. If the Company is not required to sell the security or does intend to sell the security then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, Management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry reports.

The amount of investment securities issued by government agencies with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates. At March 31, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities in its current portfolio until recovery, which may be until maturity.

The corporate debt securities consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by the following types of organizations: financial, insurance, utilities, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas. Also included in corporate debt securities are trust preferred capital securities, many issued by national and global financial services firms. The Company believes that the each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities. At March 31, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

The held to maturity portfolio is comprised of government sponsored enterprise securities such as FHLB, FNMA, FHLMC, and FFCB.  The securities have maturities of 15 years or less and the securities are used to collateralize public funds.  As of March 31, 2012 public funds deposits totaled $452.7 million. The Company has maintained public funds in excess of $175.0 million since December 2007.   Management believes that public funds will continue to be a significant part of the Company's deposit base and will need to be collateralized by securities in the investment portfolio. 

The Company attributes the unrealized losses mainly to increases in market interest rates over the yield available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The Company does not expect to incur a loss unless the securities are sold prior to maturity.

 Securities with unrealized losses, in which the Company has not already taken an OTTI charge, are currently performing according to their contractual terms. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. As a result of uncertainties in the market affecting companies in the financial services industry, it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term.

Securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly. The evaluation includes performance indications of the underlying assets in the security, loan to collateral value, third-party guarantees, current levels of subordination, geographic concentrations, industry analysts' reports, sector credit ratings, volatility of the securities fair value, liquidity, leverage and capital ratios, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the company is in bankruptcy, the status and potential outcome is also considered.

The Company believes that the securities with unrealized losses reflect impairment that is temporary and that there are currently no securities with other-than-temporary impairment.

 The Company did not record an impairment write-down on its securities for the three month period ending March 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an impairment write-down on securities from one issuer of $0.1 million. This write-down was partially offset by a subsequent gain on sale of the securities of $45,000 in the third quarter of 2011.  

At March 31, 2012, the Company's exposure to investment securities issuers that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity as follows:

	At March 31, 2012
(in thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value

The Company's management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan.

For all loan classes, past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120 days past due as to principal or interest.  When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income is reversed.  The Company's method of income recognition for loans that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt.  Nonaccrual loans will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid.

The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans by class:

The Company assigns credit quality indicators of pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful to its loans. For the Company's loans with a corporate credit exposure, the Company internally assigns a grade based on the creditworthiness of the borrower. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, the Bank internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan’s delinquency status. Loans included in the Pass category are performing loans with satisfactory debt coverage ratios, collateral, payment history, and documentation.

Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.

A substandard loan with a corporate credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans require more intensive supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on nonaccrual. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard.

Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values.

ASC 310-30 Loans

The Company has loans that were acquired through the acquisition of  Greensburg Bancshares, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. These loans are subject to ASC Topic 310-30. The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable at March 31, 2012. The amounts of loans subject to ASC Topic 310-30 at March 31, 2012 are as follows:

	March 31, 2012

There have been no additional provisions made to the allowance for loan losses subsequent to acquisition of these loans. The loans acquired in the acquisition of  Greensburg Bancshares, that are within the scope of Topic ASC 310-30, are not accounted for using the income recognition model of the Topic because the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be collected.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Company's management on a monthly basis and additions thereto are recorded pursuant to the results of such reviews. In assessing the allowance, several internal and external factors that might impact the performance of individual loans are considered. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions and their impact upon borrowers' ability to repay loans, respective industry trends, borrower estimates and independent appraisals. Periodic changes in these factors impact the assessment of each loan and its overall impact on the allowance for loan losses.

The monitoring of credit risk also extends to unfunded credit commitments, such as unused commercial credit lines and letters of credit. A reserve is established as needed for estimates of probable losses on such commitments.

A summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses, by portfolio type, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. As an administrative matter, this process is only applied to impaired loans or relationships in excess of $250,000.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not separately identified for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

A Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is considered such if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The modifications to the Company's TDRs were concessions on the interest rate charged.  The effect of the modifications to the Company was a reduction in interest income.  These loans still have an allocated reserve in the Company's reserve for loan losses. The following table identifies the Troubled Debt Restructurings as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill at March 31, 2012 was $2.0 million and resulted from the Homestead Bancorp acquisition in 2007.  No impairment charges have been recognized since the acquisition.Mortgage servicing rights were relatively unchanged since December 31, 2011, totaling $0.2 million at March 31, 2012. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The core deposits reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from the purchase of other financial institutions and the purchase of various banking center locations from other financial institutions.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Set forth below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Contract Amount
(in thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	12,530	$	13,264
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	58,738	$	69,522
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	6,503	$	6,745

Litigation

The nature of the Company’s business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation and legal and administrative cases, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When the Company’s management and counsel determine it has defenses to the claims asserted, it defends itself. The Company will consider settlement of cases when, in Management’s and counsel’s judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders.

While the final outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, Management believes that the amount it has already accrued is adequate and any incremental liability arising from the Company’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

19

Note 8. Fair Value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified Level 3 in the Company's portfolio as of March 31, 2012 includes municipal bonds and one preferred equity security.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the loans obtainable market price, if available (Level 1), the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") at March 31, 2012 are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values on the properties or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property’s market, and thus OREO measured at fair value would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Securities available for sale measured at fair value	$	598,997	$	520,497
Fair Value Measurements Using:
Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1)	$	-	$	3,203
Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	$	591,487	$	509,778
Significant Unoberservable Inputs (Level 3)	$	7,510	$	7,516

The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.  The change in level 3 securities available for sale was due to a $6,000 municipal bond principal payment in January 2012.

Gains and losses on securities (realized and unrealized) included in earnings (or changes in net assets) for the first three months of 2012 on a recurring basis are reported in noninterest income or other comprehensive income as follows:

ASC 825-10 provides the Company with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and as such has not included any gains or losses in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

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

The following management discussion and analysis is intended to highlight the significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. This discussion is designed to provide readers with a more comprehensive view of the operating results and financial position than would be obtained from reading the consolidated financial statements alone. Reference should be made to those statements for an understanding of the following review and analysis. The financial data at March 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and provisions) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations for such periods.

First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Hammond, LA with one wholly owned subsidiary, First Guaranty Bank.  First Guaranty Bank is a Louisiana state chartered commercial bank with 21 banking facilities including one drive-up only facility, located throughout southeast, southwest and north Louisiana.  The Company emphasizes personal relationships and localized decision making to ensure that products and services are matched to customer needs.  The Company competes for business principally on the basis of personal service to customers, customer access to officers and directors and competitive interest rates and fees. 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage corporations to provide information about a Company's anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, which protects us from unwarranted litigation, if actual results are different from Management expectations. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and reflects Management’s current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including, changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, which could cause our actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations, expressed in such forward-looking statements.

First Quarter 2012 Financial Overview

Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2012 are as follows:

● First Guaranty Bancshares issued a ten percent stock dividend on February 24, 2012 to stockholders of record as of February 17, 2012.

●  Net income for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 was $3.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.  Net income to common shareholders after preferred stock dividends was $2.6 million and $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, with earnings per common share of $0.41 and $0.34, respectively. The increase in net income  for the first quarter of 2012 when compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in interest income from a larger dollar volume in investments, a decrease in interest expense as well as the addition of the results of operations of the Greensburg Bancshares assets and branches acquired July 1, 2011.

 ●  Net interest income for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 was $10.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively.  The net interest margin was 3.31% for the first quarter 2012 and 3.47% for the same period in 2011.

●  The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2011.

●  Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $5.1 million or 0.37% when compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase in assets was primarily from deposit growth that was invested in securities.

●  Investment securities totaled $691.4 million at March 31, 2012, an increase of $58.3 million when compared to $633.2 million at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, available for sale securities, at fair value, totaled $599.0 million, an increase of $78.5 million when compared to $520.5 million at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, held to maturity securities, at amortized cost, totaled $92.4 million, a decrease of $20.2 million when compared to $112.7 million at December 31, 2011.

●  The net loan portfolio at March 31, 2012 totaled $567.3 million, a net increase of $3.1 million from the December 31, 2011 net loan portfolio of $564.2 million. Net loans are reduced by the allowance for loan losses which totaled $10.0 million for March 31, 2012 and $8.9 million for December 31, 2011.

●  Total deposits increased $5.3 million or 0.44% in the first three months of 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

●  Return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was 0.90% and 0.83%, respectively. Return on average common shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was 13.76% and 12.36% respectively.  Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income before preferred dividends by average assets.  Return on common shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average common shareholders’ equity.

●  The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per common share in the first quarter of 2012 and $0.15 on an adjusted per share basis for the first quarter of 2011. The dividend per common share for the first quarter of 2011 has been adjusted to reflect the ten percent stock dividend paid on February 24, 2012.

23

Financial Condition

Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012

General.

Total assets as of March 31, 2012 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $5.1 million or 0.37% when compared to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase in assets primarily reflects increases in the Company's investment in government and corporate debt securities.

Investment Securities.  

Investment securities at March 31, 2012 totaled $691.4 million, an increase of $58.3 million compared to $633.2 million at December 31, 2011.  The investment portfolio consisted of available for sale securities at their fair market value total of $599.0 million and held to maturity securities at amortized cost total of $92.4 million. 

The securities portfolio consisted principally of U.S. Government agency securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds. The securities portfolio provides the Company with a relatively stable source of income and provides a balance to credit risk when compared to other categories of assets. The Company has continued to expand its holding of securities as loan demand has remained low.  Management monitors the securities portfolio for both credit and interest rate risk.  The Company generally limits the purchase of corporate securities to individual issuers to manage concentration and credit risk. Corporate securities generally have a maturity of 10 years or less.  Government agency securities generally have maturities of 15 years or less. Corporate securities held at fair value totaled $182.2 million at March 31, 2012.  U.S. Government Agency securities that were held at fair value totaled $394.0 million at March 31, 2012. Agency securities that were held for maturity and carried at amortized cost totaled $92.4 million at March 31, 2012. The fair value of held to maturity agency securities was $92.5 million at March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2012, $19.2 million or 2.8% of the securities portfolio was scheduled to mature in less than one year. Securities with contractual maturity dates over 10 years totaled $348.8 million or 50.4% of the total portfolio. The weighted average contractual maturity of the securities portfolio was 10.7 years.  The average maturity of the securities portfolio is affected by call options that may be exercised by the issuer of the securities and are influenced by market interest rates.

As of March 31, 2012, certain investment securities totaling $2.1 million had continuous unrealized loss positions for more than 12 months with unrealized losses totaling $0.3 million. These securities in an unrealized loss position for a period longer than 12 months were corporate debt securities. At March 31, 2012, 14 securities from 10 issuers were graded below investment grade with a total book value of $3.4 million.  Non-investment grade securities represent approximately 0.5% of the Company's total investment portfolio.  All of the non-investment grade securities referenced above were initially investment grade and have been downgraded since purchase. The non-investment grade securities are monitored by management.

Average securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 51.2% for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 45.3% for the same period in 2011. At March 31, 2012, the U.S Government agency securities and municipal bonds qualified as securities pledgeable to collateralize repurchase agreements and public funds. Securities pledged totaled $458.9 million at March 31, 2012  and $428.6 million at December 31, 2011.  See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on investment securities.

Loans.

Net loans accounted for 41.7% of total assets at March 31, 2012, with relatively no change from 41.7% at December 31, 2011. There are no significant concentrations of credit to any individual borrower. As of March 31, 2012, 80.1% of our loan portfolio was secured primarily or secondarily by real estate. The largest portion of our loan portfolio, at 47.8%, is non-farm non-residential loans secured by real estate.

The net loan portfolio at March 31, 2012 totaled $567.3 million, a net increase of $3.1 million from the December 31, 2011 net loan portfolio of $564.2 million.  Net loans are reduced by the allowance for loan losses which totaled $10.0 million for March 31, 2012 and $8.9 million for December 31, 2011. Total loans include $16.9 million in syndicated loans. Syndicated loans meet the same underwriting criteria used when making in-house loans.  Loan charge offs totaled $0.4 million during the first three months of 2012, compared to $0.7 million during the same period of 2011.  Recoveries totaled $0.3 million during the first three months of 2012 and $0.1 million during the first three months of 2011.  See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and Note 5 for information on the allowance for loan losses.

24

Nonperforming Assets.

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on which interest is no longer accrued and real estate acquired through foreclosure (other real estate). The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans when management believes there is reasonable uncertainty about the full collection of principal and interest or when the loan is contractually past due 90 days or more and not fully secured. If the principal amount of the loan is adequately secured, then interest income on such loans is recognized only in periods in which actual payments are received.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets and restructured loans where the interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated  at the dates indicated.

Management has not identified additional information on any loans not already included in impaired loans or the nonperforming asset total that indicates possible credit problems that could cause doubt as to the ability of borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms in the future.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $24.4 million as of March 31, 2012.  The nonaccrual loans are concentrated in five credit relationships that total approximately $13.3 million or 54.4% of the nonaccrual balance.  This nonaccrual loan total includes approximately $3.8 million in a participation loan secured by a hotel, $3.7 million secured by two motels, $2.7 million secured by an entertainment complex, $1.4 million secured by equipment and real estate, and $1.7 million secured by a personal residence.

Nonaccrual loans increased in aggregate $0.8 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. The increase represents the addition of one loan secured by a personal residence totaling $1.7 million. The increase in nonaccrual loans was partially offset by a net reduction in nonaccrual loans of $1.1 million.

Construction and land development nonaccrual loans decreased by $0.4 million from $1.5 million to $1.1 million.

Nonaccrual loans secured by farmland increased $0.3 million from $0.6 million at December 31, 2011 to $0.9 million at March 31, 2012.

One-to-four family residential nonaccrual loans increased $0.7 million primarily due to the addition of one loan totaling $1.7 million.

Multifamily nonaccrual loans increased by $0.6 million in the first three months of 2012. At December 31, 2011 there were no nonaccrual loans in the multifamily category. The increase is due to the two loans transfering to nonaccrual status.

Non-farm non-residential nonaccrual loans decreased $0.3 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. This category constitutes $12.1 million or 49.9% of total nonaccrual loans. This category includes loans secured by owner and nonowner occupied commercial real estate. The decrease from December 31, 2011 is due to the payoff of three loans totaling $0.6 million, and the return of two loans to accrual totaling $0.2 million. The decrease was partially offset by the addition of one loan totaling $0.4 million.  

Commercial and industrial nonaccrual loans increased by $0.1 to $2.1 million from $2.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) totaled $5.0 million as of March 31, 2012.  OREO is composed of several one to four family residential properties totaling $0.9 million, construction and land development lots of approximately $1.1 million, and commercial properties totaling $3.0 million. 

Restructured loans totaled $17.3 million as of March 31, 2012.  Restructured loans were concentrated in three credit relationships.  The largest credit relationship for $8.7 million is secured by commercial real estate and land development properties.  The second largest credit relationship for $6.0 million is secured by an apartment complex.  The third restructured loan of $1.7 million is secured by a personal residence.  The modifications were concessions on the interest rate charged for these loans.  The effect of the modifications to the Company was a reduction in interest income. One loan totaling $1.7 million secured by a personal residence defaulted after the debt was restructured. The concession on the restructured loan that defaulted was a lower interest rate. These loans still have an allocated reserve in the Company's reserve for loan losses.

Impaired loans totaled $50.3 million as of March 31, 2012.  Impaired loans with a valuation allowance totaled $38.7 million and impaired loans without a valuation allowance totaled $11.7 million.  Included in the impaired loan total were $15.6 million in restructured loans that are performing under their new terms.  For more information, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses. 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered sufficient to absorb potential losses embedded in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for anticipated loan losses as well as recoveries of previously charged off loans and is decreased by loan charge offs. The provision is the necessary charge to current expense to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance at an adequate level commensurate with Management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Various factors are taken into consideration when determining the amount of the provision and the adequacy of the allowance. These factors include but are not limited to:

●   past due and nonperforming assets;

●   specific internal analysis of loans requiring special attention;

●   the current level of regulatory classified and criticized assets and the associated risk factors with each;

●   changes in underwriting standards or lending procedures and policies;

●   charge off and recovery practices;

●   national and local economic and business conditions;

●   nature and volume of loans;

●   overall portfolio quality;

●   adequacy of loan collateral;

●   quality of loan review system and degree of oversight by its Board of Directors;

●   competition and legal and regulatory requirements on borrowers;

●   examinations of the loan portfolio by federal and state regulatory agencies and examinations;

●   and review by our internal loan review department and independent accountants.

The data collected from all sources in determining the adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis by Management with regard to current national and local economic trends, prior loss history, underlying collateral values, credit concentrations and industry risks. An estimate of potential loss on specific loans is developed in conjunction with an overall risk evaluation of the total loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect Management's estimate of probable losses.

Provisions made pursuant to these processes totaled $1.2 million in the first three months of 2012 as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2011. The provisions made in the first three months of 2012 were taken to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance at a level commensurate with Management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Total charge offs were $0.4 million for first three months of 2012 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2011.  Recoveries totaled $0.3 million during the first three months of 2012 and $0.1 million during the first three months of 2011.

Charged off real estate construction and land development loans totaled $0.1 million for the first three months of 2012.  There were no charged off real estate secured farmland loans in the first three months of 2012. Charged off 1-4 family residential loans totaled $0.1 million for the first three months of 2012. There were no charged off multifamily loans in the first three months of 2012. Charged off agricultural loans totaled less than $7,000 in the first three months of 2012.  Charged off commercial and industrial loans totaled $0.1 million for the first three months of 2012.  Charged off consumer loans and credit cards totaled $0.2 million for the first three months of 2012. For more information, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

All accrued but uncollected interest related to a loan is deducted from income in the period the loan is assigned a nonaccrual status. During the period a loan is in nonaccrual status, any cash receipts are first applied to the principal balance. Once the principal balance has been fully recovered, any residual amounts are applied to expenses resulting from the collection of the payment and to the recovery of any reversed interest income and interest income that would have been due had the loan not been placed on nonaccrual status. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Company had loans totaling $24.4 million and $22.5 million, respectively, on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 was $10.0 million or 1.7% of total loans and 40.2% of nonperforming loans.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses associated with troubled debt restructuring loans was $0.9 million or 9.4% of total reserve. See Note 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits.

Managing the mix and pricing the maturities of deposit liabilities is an important factor affecting our ability to maximize our net interest margin. The strategies used to manage interest-bearing deposit liabilities are designed to adjust as the interest rate environment changes. In this regard, management regularly assesses our funding needs, deposit pricing and interest rate outlooks. From December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012, total deposits increased $5.3 million, or 0.4%, to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2012.  Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $12.6 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $14.9 million when comparing March 31, 2012 to December 31, 2011. Time deposits decreased $24.0 million, or 3.5% to $668.5 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $692.5 million at December 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2012, public fund deposits totaled $452.7 million.  During the first three months of 2012, public fund deposits increased $20.8 million. The Company has developed a program for the development and management of public fund deposits.  Since 2007, the Company has maintained public fund deposits in excess of $175.0 million.  These deposits are with local government entities such as school districts, hospital districts, sheriff departments and other municipalities.  Several of these accounts are under contracts with terms up to three years.  Public funds deposit accounts are collateralized by FHLB letters of credit and by eligible government agency securities such as those issued by the FHLB, FFCB, FNMA, and FHLMC.  Management believes that public funds provide a low cost and stable source of funding for the Company.

As of March 31, 2012, the aggregate amount of outstanding certificates of deposit in amounts greater than or equal to $100,000 was approximately $425.1 million.  At March 31, 2012, approximately 26.7% of the Company's certificates of deposit had a remaining term greater than one year.

As we seek to maintain a strong net interest margin and improve our earnings, attracting core noninterest-bearing deposits will remain a primary emphasis. Management will continue to evaluate and update our product mix in its efforts to attract additional core customers. We currently offer a number of noninterest-bearing deposit products that are competitively priced and designed to attract and retain customers with primary emphasis on core deposits. We have also offered several different time deposit promotions in an effort to increase our core deposits and to increase liquidity.

The following table sets forth the distribution of our total deposit accounts, by account type, for the periods indicated.

Borrowings.

The Company maintains borrowing relationships with other financial institutions as well as the Federal Home Loan Bank on a short and long-term basis to meet liquidity needs. At March 31, 2012, short-term borrowings totaled $12.4 million compared to $12.2 million at December 31, 2011, and consisted solely of repurchase agreements. Overnight repurchase agreement balances are monitored daily for sufficient collateralization. The Company had long-term borrowings totaling $3.1 million as of March 31, 2012 (discussed below) and $3.2 million at December 31, 2011.

The average amount of total short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $13.0 million, compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $60.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit outstanding obtained solely for collateralizing public deposits.

The Company maintains a $2.5 million revolving line of credit with another financial institution.  There was no balance on this credit facility at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  This credit facility and the $3.1 million in long-term debt are secured by a portion of the Company's ownership in its subsidiary First Guaranty Bank.

Equity.  

Stockholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and the ability to absorb unforeseen adverse developments. Total equity decreased to $124.8 million as of March 31, 2012 from $126.6 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in stockholders' equity was the result of the decrease in other comprehensive income totaling $3.3 million. This decrease was partially offset by earnings for the first quarter of $3.1 million. The earnings for the quarter are reduced by common dividends of $1.0 million and preferred dividends of $0.5 million for a total addition to the Company's retained earnings of $1.5 million.   

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Net Income.

Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $3.1 million, an increase of $0.7 million or 27.3% from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.6 million which is an increase of $0.5 million from the $2.1 million from the same period in 2011. The increase in income can be attributed to a higher volume of securities that produced higher interest income coupled with lower interest expense year over year. Net gains on securities for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 were $0.7 million and $41,000, respectively. There were no losses on securities impairment for the first quarter of 2012 compared to an impairment loss on securities of $0.1 million in the same period in 2011.  Net interest income increased $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of a higher average balances of securities in our investment portfolio and lower interest expense.  The provision for loan losses increased $0.7 million from $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2012.  Noninterest expense increased $0.6 million primarily from increased salaries expense as well as an increase in other expenses which include: professional fees, data processing, advertising, insurance, travel, depreciation, sales and franchise tax as well as tax on capital. The net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes the results of operations of Greensburg Bancshares assets and branches acquired on July 1, 2011 which resulted in the addition of $0.5 million to net income. The provision for income tax expense increased by $0.3 million as a result of the increase in net income. Earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.41 per common share, an increase of 20.6% or $0.07 per common share from $0.34 per common share (adjusted for the ten percent stock dividend) for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net Interest Income.

Net interest income is the largest component of our earnings, and is calculated by subtracting the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the income earned on interest-earning assets. This represents the earnings from our primary business of gathering deposits, and making loans and investments. Our long-term objective is to manage this income to provide the largest possible amount of income, while balancing interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risks.

A financial institution’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of an non-financial company, in that virtually all assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Accordingly, changes in interest rates, which are generally impacted by inflation rates, may have a significant impact on a financial institution’s performance. The impact of interest rate changes depends on the sensitivity to the change of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The effects of the varying interest rate environment in recent years and our interest sensitivity position will be discussed below.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2012 was $10.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 14.4%, when compared to $9.5 million in 2011. The first quarter of 2012 includes $0.9 million in net interest income from the acqusition of Greensburg Bancshares. For the first quarter of 2012, loans represent 43.4% of the Company's average interest-earning assets, and 49.1% of our total loans are floating rate loans which are primarily tied to the prime lending rate. For the same period, securities represent 51.2% of our average interest-earning assets. The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities reflects a lower cost of funds paid on interest-bearing deposits. As of March 31, 2012, time deposits represented 55.1% of total deposits, which is a decrease from 63.4% of total deposits at March 31, 2011.

30

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 4.83% at March 31, 2011 to 4.40% at March 31, 2012. This is largely attributable to the 0.49% decrease in the average yield on securities from 3.84% at March 31, 2011 to 3.35% at March 31, 2012. The average yield on securities decreased due to calls of securities in which the funds were re-deployed at lower yields, and securities purchased with lower yields when compared to March 31, 2011. The interest-bearing liabilities average cost decreased slightly to 1.35% at March 31, 2012, compared to 1.66% at March 31, 2011. The average borrowing costs increased from 0.19% at March 31, 2011 to 0.97% at March 31, 2012. This increase is due to the long-term debt of $3.5 million with at a rate of 4.00% executed by the Company in the second quarter of 2011. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 3.18% for the same period in 2011.

The net interest income yield shown below in the average balance sheet is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and is a measure of the efficiency of the earnings from balance sheet activities. It is affected by changes in the difference between interest on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the percentage of interest-earning assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses.

The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increased 2012 provision was based on an assessment of the loan portfolio as well as other qualitative and quantitative factors considered by the Company's management team. Of the loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2012, approximately $0.1 million were loans secured by real estate and $0.3 million were loans secured by non-real estate. Of the loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2011, approximately $0.6 million were loans secured by real estate and $0.1 million were loans secured by non-real estate. Recoveries for the first quarter of 2012 of $0.3 million were recognized on loans previously charged-off as compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.  The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 was $10.0 million, compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 2011, and was 1.72% and 1.55% of total loans, respectively. Management believes that the current level of the allowance is adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio given the current economic conditions, expected net charge-offs and nonperforming asset levels.

Noninterest Income.

Noninterest income totaled $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1.0 million when compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The first quarter of 2012 includes $0.1 million in noninterest income from the acquisition of Greensburg Bancshares. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 which is an increase of $0.2 million when compared to the same period for 2011. Net securities gains were $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $41,000 in 2011. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges in 2012 compared to a charge of $0.1 million in 2011. Net losses on sale of loans were $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net gains of $48,000 for the same period in 2011. Other noninterest income increased $0.1 million to $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 when compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2011.

Noninterest Expense.

Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, net cost from other real estate and repossessions, regulatory assessments and other types of expenses.  Noninterest expense totaled $7.3 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $6.6 million in 2011. Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 includes $0.4 million from the acquisition of Greensburg Bancshares. Salaries and benefits increased $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 to $3.4 million compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.  This can be explained by the total number of employees increasing from 269 full-time equivalent employees at March 31, 2012 to 277 at March 31, 2011.  The increase in employees is due to the growth and expansion of the Company, including the acquisition of Greensburg Bancshares. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $0.8 million in first quarter of 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 regulatory assessment expense decreased $0.3 to $0.2 million from $0.5 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease in the regulatory assessment expense is due to the change in the FDIC's premium calculation. Other noninterest expense totaled $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $2.8 million the first quarter of 2011.

The following is a summary of the significant components of other noninterest expense:

Income Taxes.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes is a result of higher income for 2012 when compared to the first quarter of 2011. The Company's statutory tax rate was 34.6% which was relatively unchanged from 34.9% for the first quarter of 2011.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management.

Our asset/liability management (ALM) process consists of quantifying, analyzing and controlling interest rate risk (IRR) to maintain reasonably stable net interest income levels under various interest rate environments. The principal objective of ALM is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintain adequate levels of liquidity.

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans secured by real estate, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Senior Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee, which consists of executive Management and other bank personnel operating under a policy adopted by the Board of Directors, meets as needed to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.

The interest spread and liability funding discussed below are directly related to changes in asset and liability mixes, volumes, maturities and repricing opportunities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those which are subject to being repriced in the near term, including both floating or adjustable rate instruments and instruments approaching maturity. The interest sensitivity gap is the difference between total interest-sensitive assets and total interest-sensitive liabilities. The gap report uses the contractual maturity of both assets and deposits.  The actual maturity may differ due to prepayment options associated with either assets or liabilities.  For example, most of the government securities owned by the Company are callable bonds and these may be repaid sooner than their contractual maturity. Interest rates on our various asset and liability categories do not respond uniformly to changing market conditions. Interest rate risk is the degree to which interest rate fluctuations in the marketplace can affect net interest income.

To maximize our margin, we attempt to be somewhat more asset sensitive during periods of rising rates and more liability sensitive during periods of falling rates. The need for interest sensitivity gap management is most critical in times of rapid changes in overall interest rates. We generally seek to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by maintaining a relatively balanced mix of rate sensitive assets and liabilities on a one-year time horizon. The mix is relatively difficult to manage. Because of the significant impact on net interest margin from mismatches in repricing opportunities, the asset-liability mix is monitored periodically depending upon management’s assessment of current business conditions and the interest rate outlook. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is maintained within prudent levels by the use of varying investment strategies.

We monitor interest rate risk using an interest sensitivity analysis set forth on the following table. This analysis, which we prepare monthly, reflects the maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities over various time periods. The gap indicates whether more assets or liabilities are subject to repricing over a given time period. The interest sensitivity analysis at March 31, 2012 shown below reflects a liability-sensitive position with a negative cumulative gap on a one-year basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity.

Liquidity refers to the ability or flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available to meet customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. Liquid assets include cash and due from banks, interest-earning demand deposits with banks, federal funds sold and available for sale investment securities. Including securities pledged to collateralize public fund deposits, these assets represent 48.1% and 32.4% of the total liquidity base at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Loans maturing or repricing within one year or less at March 31, 2012 totaled $213.7 million.  At March 31, 2012, time deposits maturing within one year or less totaled $456.3 million.

The Company maintained a net borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $124.6 million and $129.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This decrease in availability at Federal Home Loan Bank during 2012 primarily resulted from the decrease of our blanket lien availability. We also maintain federal funds lines of credit at three correspondent banks with borrowing capacity of $41.1 million and a revolving line of credit for $2.5 million as of March 31, 2012. The Company did not have an outstanding balance on these lines of credit as of March 31, 2012. Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to satisfy current operating needs.

Capital Resources.

The Company's capital position is reflected in stockholders’ equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. Further, our capital base allows us to take advantage of business opportunities while maintaining the level of resources we deem appropriate to address business risks inherent in daily operations.

Total equity decreased to $124.8 million as of March 31, 2012 from $126.6 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in stockholders' equity was the result of the decrease in other comprehensive income totaling $3.3 million. This decrease was partially offset by earnings for the first quarter of $3.1 million. The earnings for the quarter are reduced by common dividends of $1.0 million and preferred dividends of $0.5 million for a total addition to the Company's retained earnings of $1.5 million.   

Regulatory Capital.

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the FDIC require banks to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Similar capital regulations apply to bank holding companies. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure “Tier 1” capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income) and total capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off- balance sheet items. Under the guidelines, one of its risk weights is applied to the different on balance sheet items. Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk weighting. All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core or Tier 1 capital. These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

	As of March 31, 2012
	"Well Capitalized Minimums"		Actual
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
Consolidated	5.00	%	8.84	%
Bank	5.00	%	8.93	%
Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	6.00	%	13.51	%
Bank	6.00	%	13.64	%
Total Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	10.00	%	14.64	%
Bank	10.00	%	14.77	%

At March 31, 2012, we satisfied the minimum regulatory capital requirements and were well capitalized within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.

Basis of Presentation

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.

Allowance for Loan Losses [Abstract]

Allowance for Loan Losses

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Company's management on a monthly basis and additions thereto are recorded pursuant to the results of such reviews. In assessing the allowance, several internal and external factors that might impact the performance of individual loans are considered. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions and their impact upon borrowers' ability to repay loans, respective industry trends, borrower estimates and independent appraisals. Periodic changes in these factors impact the assessment of each loan and its overall impact on the allowance for loan losses.

The monitoring of credit risk also extends to unfunded credit commitments, such as unused commercial credit lines and letters of credit. A reserve is established as needed for estimates of probable losses on such commitments.

A summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses, by portfolio type, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. As an administrative matter, this process is only applied to impaired loans or relationships in excess of $250,000.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not separately identified for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

A Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is considered such if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The modifications to the Company's TDRs were concessions on the interest rate charged.  The effect of the modifications to the Company was a reduction in interest income.  These loans still have an allocated reserve in the Company's reserve for loan losses. The following table identifies the Troubled Debt Restructurings as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The Company's management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan.

For all loan classes, past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120 days past due as to principal or interest.  When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income is reversed.  The Company's method of income recognition for loans that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt.  Nonaccrual loans will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid.

The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans by class:

The Company assigns credit quality indicators of pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful to its loans. For the Company's loans with a corporate credit exposure, the Company internally assigns a grade based on the creditworthiness of the borrower. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, the Bank internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan's delinquency status. Loans included in the Pass category are performing loans with satisfactory debt coverage ratios, collateral, payment history, and documentation.

Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.

A substandard loan with a corporate credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans require more intensive supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on nonaccrual. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard.

Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values.

The following table identifies the Credit Exposure of the Loan Portfolio by specific credit ratings:

ASC 310-30 Loans

The Company has loans that were acquired through the acquisition of  Greensburg Bancshares, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. These loans are subject to ASC Topic 310-30. The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable at March 31, 2012. The amounts of loans subject to ASC Topic 310-30 at March 31, 2012 are as follows:

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

Note 8. Fair Value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified Level 3 in the Company's portfolio as of March 31, 2012 includes municipal bonds and one preferred equity security.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the loans obtainable market price, if available (Level 1), the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") at March 31, 2012 are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values on the properties or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property's market, and thus OREO measured at fair value would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	$	591,487	$	509,778
Significant Unoberservable Inputs (Level 3)	$	7,510	$	7,516

The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.  The change in level 3 securities available for sale was due to a $6,000 municipal bond principal payment in January 2012.

Gains and losses on securities (realized and unrealized) included in earnings (or changes in net assets) for the first three months of 2012 on a recurring basis are reported in noninterest income or other comprehensive income as follows:

ASC 825-10 provides the Company with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and as such has not included any gains or losses in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill at March 31, 2012 was $2.0 million and resulted from the Homestead Bancorp acquisition in 2007.  No impairment charges have been recognized since the acquisition.Mortgage servicing rights were relatively unchanged since December 31, 2011, totaling $0.2 million at March 31, 2012. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The core deposits reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from the purchase of other financial institutions and the purchase of various banking center locations from other financial institutions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Set forth below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Contract Amount
(in thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	12,530	$	13,264
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	58,738	$	69,522
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	6,503	$	6,745

Litigation

The nature of the Company's business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation and legal and administrative cases, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When the Company's management and counsel determine it has defenses to the claims asserted, it defends itself. The Company will consider settlement of cases when, in Management's and counsel's judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders.

While the final outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, Management believes that the amount it has already accrued is adequate and any incremental liability arising from the Company's legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

At March 31, 2012, 185 debt securities have gross unrealized losses of $6.1 million or 1.5% of amortized cost. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts contractually due and has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until the fair value is at least equal to the carrying value. The Company had 66 U.S. Government agency securities and 113 corporate debt securities that had gross unrealized losses for less than 12 months. The Company had 6 corporate debt securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. All securities with unrealized losses greater than 12 months were classified as available for sale with amortized cost of $2.4 million. Securities with unrealized losses less than 12 months included $367.6 million amortized cost classified as available for sale and $40.4 million amortized cost classified as held to maturity. 

If impairment is other than temporary for equity securities, then an impairment loss shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment would then become the new amortized cost basis of the investment and is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. For debt securities, other than temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the Company is required to sell or is more likely than not to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. If the Company is not required to sell the security or does intend to sell the security then the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, Management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry reports.

The amount of investment securities issued by government agencies with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates. At March 31, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities in its current portfolio until recovery, which may be until maturity.

The corporate debt securities consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by the following types of organizations: financial, insurance, utilities, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas. Also included in corporate debt securities are trust preferred capital securities, many issued by national and global financial services firms. The Company believes that the each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities. At March 31, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

The held to maturity portfolio is comprised of government sponsored enterprise securities such as FHLB, FNMA, FHLMC, and FFCB.  The securities have maturities of 15 years or less and the securities are used to collateralize public funds.  As of March 31, 2012 public funds deposits totaled $452.7 million. The Company has maintained public funds in excess of $175.0 million since December 2007.   Management believes that public funds will continue to be a significant part of the Company's deposit base and will need to be collateralized by securities in the investment portfolio. 

The Company attributes the unrealized losses mainly to increases in market interest rates over the yield available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The Company does not expect to incur a loss unless the securities are sold prior to maturity.

 Securities with unrealized losses, in which the Company has not already taken an OTTI charge, are currently performing according to their contractual terms. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. As a result of uncertainties in the market affecting companies in the financial services industry, it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term.

Securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly. The evaluation includes performance indications of the underlying assets in the security, loan to collateral value, third-party guarantees, current levels of subordination, geographic concentrations, industry analysts' reports, sector credit ratings, volatility of the securities fair value, liquidity, leverage and capital ratios, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If the company is in bankruptcy, the status and potential outcome is also considered.

The Company believes that the securities with unrealized losses reflect impairment that is temporary and that there are currently no securities with other-than-temporary impairment.

 The Company did not record an impairment write-down on its securities for the three month period ending March 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an impairment write-down on securities from one issuer of $0.1 million. This write-down was partially offset by a subsequent gain on sale of the securities of $45,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
