6 LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2004 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION This report is filed for Lakeland Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake City Bank (the "Bank"). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Also included is the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, LCB Investments Limited ("LCB Investments"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. The 2003 Lakeland Financial Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with these statements. NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." EITF 03-1 provides application guidance that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the recognition of an impairment loss. The guidance also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. In September 2004, the FASB delayed the accounting requirements of EITF 03-1 until additional implementation guidance is issued and goes into effect. NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per common share is based upon weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share show the dilutive effect of additional common shares issueable. 7 Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income at the time of grant, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. No additional options were granted in the first nine months of 2004. Had compensation cost for stock options been recorded in the financial statements, net income and earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma effect may increase in the future if more options are granted.

These shares are treated as outstanding when computing the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. 8 NOTE 4.

As of September 30, 2004, $119,000 had been contributed to the SERP plan and $284,000 to the pension plan. The Company does not anticipate making any additional contributions to its pension plan or SERP plan during the remainder of 2004. NOTE 6. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts appearing in the financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassification had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported. 10 Part 1 LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION and RESULTS OF OPERATION September 30, 2004 OVERVIEW Lakeland Financial Corporation is the holding company for Lake City Bank. The Company is headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana and operates 43 offices in 12 counties in northern Indiana. The Company earned $10.8 million for the first nine months of 2004, versus $10.9 million in the same period of 2003, a decrease of 0.5%. Earnings were negatively impacted by a $969,000 decrease in noninterest income and a $399,000 decrease in net interest income. Offsetting these negative impacts were decreases of $1.1 million in the provision for loan losses and $30,000 in noninterest expense. Basic earnings per share for the first nine months of 2004 were $1.84 per share versus $1.87 per share for the first nine months of 2003. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive impact of stock options granted under the stock option plan. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2004 were $1.78 per share, versus $1.81 per share for the first nine months of 2003. Net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $4.0 million, an increase of 10.0% versus $3.6 million for the comparable period of 2003. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2004 were $0.67 per share, versus $0.62 per share for the third quarter of 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2004 were $0.65 per share, versus $0.60 per share for the third quarter of 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, net interest income totaled $31.3 million, a decrease of 1.3%, or $399,000 versus the first nine months of 2003. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, net interest income totaled $10.8 million, an increase of 3.9%, or $409,000 over the same period of 2003. Net interest income decreased in the nine-month period of 2004 versus the comparable period of 2003, primarily due to a 27 basis point decline in the net interest margin from 3.84% to 3.57%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, average earning assets increased by $75.6 million, or 6.7%, to $1.206 billion, and average noninterest bearing demand deposits increased by $33.5 million, or 19.8%, to $202.5 million, versus the same period in 2003. Net interest income increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 versus the comparable period of 2003 primarily due to an $87.4 million increase in average earning assets 11 combined with a $33.7 million increase in average noninterest bearing demand deposits. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, the net interest margin declined 11 basis points to 3.60%, versus the comparable period of 2003. Given the Company's mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at September 30, 2004, the net interest margin could be expected to increase in a rising rate environment. Management expects the net interest margin will improve during the remainder of 2004, as the effects of recent rate increases by the Federal Reserve are felt. During the first nine months of 2004, total interest and dividend income decreased by $2.5 million, or 5.5% to $43.3 million, versus $45.8 million during the first nine months of 2003. During the third quarter of 2004, interest and dividend income increased $175,000, or 1.2%, to $15.0 million, versus $14.8 million during the same quarter of 2003. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased by 52 basis points to 4.9% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 versus the same period of 2003. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, the yield decreased 22 basis points to 5.0% from the yield for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003. The average daily loan balances for the first nine months of 2004 increased 8.7% to $916.2 million, over the average daily loan balances of $843.3 million for the same period of 2003. During the same period, loan interest income declined by $195,000, or 0.6%, to $35.5 million. The decrease was the result of a 36 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on loans to 5.2% from 5.5% in the first nine months of 2003. The average daily loan balances for the third quarter of 2004 increased $86.5 million, or 10.1%, to $939.9 million, versus $853.4 million for the same period of 2003. During the same period, loan interest income increased by $802,000, or 6.9%, to $12.4 million versus $11.6 million during the third quarter of 2003. The tax equivalent yield on loans was unchanged at 5.3% during the third quarters of 2004 and 2003. The average daily securities balances for the first nine months of 2004 increased $9.8 million, or 3.6%, to $280.7 million, versus $270.9 million for the same period of 2003. During the same periods, income from securities declined by $2.3 million, or 22.5%, to $7.8 million versus $10.0 million during the first nine months of 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 120 basis point decline in the tax equivalent yields on securities, to 4.1% versus 5.3% in the first nine months of 2003. The average daily securities balances for the third quarter of 2004 increased $12.2 million, or 4.5%, to $279.9 million, versus $267.8 million for the same period of 2003. During the same periods, income from securities declined by $612,000, or 19.3%, to $2.6 million versus $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 106 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on securities, to 4.1%, versus 5.1% in the third quarter of 2003. 12 Total interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 14.9%, to $12.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, from $14.1 million for the comparable period in 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 34 basis point decrease in the Company's daily cost of funds to 1.32%, versus 1.66% for the same period of 2003. Total interest expense decreased $234,000, or 5.3%, to $4.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, from $4.4 million for the comparable period in 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of a 17 basis point decrease in the Company's daily cost of funds to 1.35%, versus 1.52% for the same period of 2003. On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) increased $40.1 million, or 4.3%, to $1.003 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, versus $961.8 million in the same period in 2003. The average daily deposit balances for the third quarter of 2004 increased $39.6 million, or 4.0%, to $1.022 billion from $982.6 million during the third quarter of 2003. On an average daily basis, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $33.5 million, or 19.8% and $33.7 million, or 18.9% for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004, versus the same periods in 2003. When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2004 with the same period of 2003, the average daily balance of time deposits, which pay a higher rate of interest compared to demand deposit and transaction accounts, decreased $68.4 million and the rate paid on such accounts was unchanged at 2.5% versus the same period in 2003. In the third quarter of 2004, the average daily balance of time deposits decreased by $47.1 million and the rate paid on such accounts increased by 21 basis points versus the same period in 2003. The increase was primarily the result of a time deposit promotion that ran during the first quarter of 2004, as well as the general increase in interest rates. Management believes that it is critical to grow demand deposit accounts in both the dollar volume and total number of accounts. These accounts typically provide the Company with opportunities to expand into ancillary activities for both retail and commercial customers. In addition, they represent low cost deposits. Furthermore, the Company is focused on growing transaction money market accounts which also provide a reasonable cost of funds and generally represent relationship accounts. Average daily balances of borrowings increased $36.0 million, or 20.9%, to $208.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 versus $172.6 million for the same period in 2003, and increased $44.0 million, or 26.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The rate on borrowings decreased 78 basis points and 58 basis points, respectively, when comparing the nine and three month periods of 2004 with the same periods of 2003. On an average daily basis, total deposits (including demand deposits) and purchased funds increased 6.8% and 7.3%, respectively, when comparing the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003.

17 Provision for Loan Losses Based on management's review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, provisions for losses on loans of $648,000 and $150,000 were recorded during the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004, versus provisions of $1.8 million and $380,000 recorded during the same periods of 2003. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the periods ended September 30, 2004 reflected a number of factors, including the level of charge-offs, management's overall view on current credit quality, the amount and status of impaired loans and the amount and status of past due accruing loans (90 days or more), as discussed in more detail below in the analysis relating to the Company's financial condition. Noninterest Income Noninterest income categories for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are shown in the following table: Nine Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------- Percent 2004 2003 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- (in thousands) Trust and brokerage fees $ 2,319 $ 1,802 28.7 % Service charges on deposits 5,194 5,136 1.1 Credit card fee income 1,657 1,313 26.2 Other income (net) 2,943 2,908 1.2 Net gains on the sale of real estate mortgages held-for-sale 724 2,655 (72.7) Net securities losses 0 (8) (100.0) ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest income $ 12,837 $ 13,806 (7.0)% ========== ========== ========== 18 Three Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------- Percent 2004 2003 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- (in thousands) Trust and brokerage fees $ 800 $ 627 27.6 % Service charges on deposits 1,840 1,736 6.0 Credit card fee income 576 487 18.3 Other income (net) 884 1,256 (29.6) Net gains (losses) on the sale of real estate mortgages held for sale 431 383 12.5 Net securities losses 0 (8) (100.0) ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest income $ 4,531 $ 4,481 1.1 % ========== ========== ========== Trust fees increased $488,000 and $201,000, respectively, in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003. The increases in 2004 were primarily in living trust, agency, IRA and employee benefit plan fees, and were derived principally from the Company's December 1, 2003 acquisition of Indiana Capital Management. Brokerage fees increased $29,000 and decreased $28,000 respectively, in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003. Credit card fee income increased by $344,000 and $89,000, respectively, in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003. The increases were driven by higher volume activity in interchange and merchant fee income. Other income consists of normal recurring fee income such as mortgage service fees, insurance income and fees, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and safe deposit box rent, as well as other income that management classifies as non-recurring. Other income increased $35,000 and decreased $372,000, respectively, in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same period of 2003. The primary drivers behind the decrease in the three-month period were a $262,000 decrease in the recovery of the non-cash impairment of the Bank's mortgage servicing rights portfolio, a $43,000 decrease in operating lease income and a $43,000 loss on the disposal of fixed assets. 19 The decrease in profits from the sale of mortgages resulted primarily from a decrease in the volume of mortgages sold during both the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the same periods in 2003. In addition, the timing of mortgage sales into the secondary market during the second quarter of 2004 affected profits. During the first nine months of 2004, the Company sold $49.7 million in mortgages versus $128.7 million in the comparable period of 2003. During the third quarter of 2004, the Company sold $15.6 million in mortgages versus $44.5 million in the third quarter of 2003. The decreases in volume in 2004 were primarily the result of rising mortgage rates during the second half of 2003 and during 2004, which has resulted in decreased mortgage refinance activity and decreased demand for home mortgages during 2004. Management does not expect that the high level of mortgage sales gains experienced during 2003 will be repeated during the remainder of 2004. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense categories for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004, and 2003 are shown in the following table: Nine Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------------- Percent 2004 2003 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- (in thousands) Salaries and employee benefits $ 14,705 $ 14,789 (0.6)% Occupancy and equipment expense 3,334 3,772 (11.6) Data processing expense 1,901 1,835 3.6 Credit card interchange 1,037 728 42.5 Other expense 6,327 6,210 1.9 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest expense $ 27,304 $ 27,334 (0.1)% ========== ========== ========== Three Months Ended September 30, ---------------------------------- Percent 2004 2003 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- (in thousands) Salaries and employee benefits $ 4,921 $ 5,076 (3.1)% Occupancy and equipment expense 1,203 1,192 0.9 Data processing expense 656 562 16.7 Credit card interchange 404 285 41.8 Other expense 2,017 1,981 1.8 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest expense $ 9,201 $ 9,096 1.2 % ========== ========== ========== 20 Salaries and employee benefits were virtually unchanged in the first nine months of 2004. Total employees remained stable with 450 at September 30, 2004, compared to 455 at September 30, 2003. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense reflected lower property taxes, as well as lower depreciation expense due to the fact that much of the equipment purchased for significant technology upgrades in 1998 and 1999 and to ensure no interruption from Year 2000 issues, is now fully depreciated. Credit card interchange fees increased during the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004, due to an increase in processing costs charged by VISA and increased credit card usage by Bank customers during those periods versus the same periods of 2003. Other expense includes corporate and business development, data processing fees, telecommunications, postage, and professional fees such as legal, accounting, and directors' fees. Other expense increased slightly in the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 versus the comparable periods in 2003 primarily due to increases in corporate and business development expense related to advertising. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense decreased $164,000, or 3.0%, for the first nine months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. Income tax expense for the third quarter of 2004 increased $224,000, or 12.3%, compared to the same period of 2003. The combined state franchise tax expense and the federal income tax expense as a percentage of income before income tax expense decreased to 33.3% during the first nine months of 2004 compared to 33.8% during the same period in 2003. It increased to 34.1% for the third quarter of 2004, versus 33.6% for the third quarter of 2003. The increase was driven by a decrease in the amount of income derived from tax-advantaged sources. FINANCIAL CONDITION Critical Accounting Policies Certain of the Company's accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that 21 its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. The Company's critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003 (incorporated by reference as part of the Company's 10-K filing). Total assets of the Company were $1.350 billion as of September 30, 2004, an increase of $78.1 million, or 6.1%, when compared to $1.271 billion as of December 31, 2003. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.6 million, or 6.3%, to $53.8 million at September 30, 2004 from $57.4 million at December 31, 2003. Total securities available-for-sale increased by $3.6 million, or 1.3%, to $285.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $281.4 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was a result of a number of transactions in the securities portfolio. Securities purchases totaled $57.8 million, and the fair market value of the securities portfolio increased by $757,000. The market value increase was driven by a flattening of the yield curve during the third quarter of 2004 which resulted in a decline in longer-term rates. These increases were offset by securities paydowns totaling $49.4 million, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts totaled $2.8 million. Maturities and calls of securities totaled $2.7 million. The investment portfolio is managed to limit the Company's exposure to risk by containing mostly CMO's and other securities which are either directly or indirectly backed by the federal government or a local municipal government. Real estate mortgages held-for-sale decreased by $1.1 million, or 32.0%, to $2.3 million at September 30, 2004 from $3.4 million at December 31, 2003. The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, $48.6 million in real estate mortgages were originated for sale and $49.7 million in mortgages were sold. Total loans, excluding real estate mortgages held-for-sale, increased by $81.8 million, or 9.4%, to $952.7 million at September 30, 2004 from $870.9 million at December 31, 2003. The mix of loan types within the Company's portfolio was unchanged, reflecting 78% commercial, 5% real estate and 17% consumer loans at both September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, most of which are extended to small or medium-sized businesses. Commercial loans represent higher dollar loans to fewer customers and therefore higher credit risk. Pricing is adjusted to manage the higher credit risk associated with these types of loans. The majority of fixed rate 22 mortgage loans, which represent increased interest rate risk, are sold in the secondary market, as well as some variable rate mortgage loans. The remainder of the variable rate mortgage loans and a small number of fixed rate mortgage loans are retained. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, as a result of the slow economic recovery, certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of non-performing loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the uncollectibility of the principal is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation as well as other probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of general allowance is determined based on the application of loss percentages to graded loans by categories. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans - substandard, doubtful and loss. The regulations also contain a special mention category. Special mention is defined as loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specified allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount. At September 30, 2004, on the basis of management's review of the loan portfolio, the Company had $35.4 million of assets classified special mention, $22.5 million classified as substandard, $1.5 million classified as doubtful and $0 classified as loss as compared to $41.9 million, $27.7 million, $869,000 and $0 at December 31, 2003. Allowance estimates are developed by management in consultation with regulatory authorities, taking into account actual loss experience, and are adjusted for current economic conditions. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Company's loan portfolio and are applied to individual loans based on loan type. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114, the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date and is based on past events and current 23 economic conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. The following table summarizes the loan loss reserve and nonperforming assets at September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003. September 30, September 30, 2004 2003 -------------- -------------- (in thousands) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: Beginning balance, January 1 $ 10,234 $ 9,533 Provision for loan losses, year-to-date 648 1,764 Loans charged-off, year-to-date (381) (1,396) Recoveries, year-to-date 240 163 -------------- -------------- Ending balance $ 10,741 $ 10,064 ============== ============== NONPERFORMING ASSETS: Nonaccrual loans $ 7,779 $ 1,291 Loans past due over 90 days and accruing 2,821 3,226 Other real estate 277 1,530 Repossessions 28 120 -------------- -------------- Total nonperforming assets $ 10,905 $ 6,167 ============== ============== Total impaired loans increased by $6.9 million to $9.9 million at September 30, 2004 from $3.0 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in the impaired loans category resulted primarily from the addition of a single commercial credit of $6.1 million. The borrower filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy late in the third quarter and is in the process of determining its future business strategy. Borrower collateral and the personal guarantees of its principals support the credit. The impaired loan total included $7.2 million in nonaccrual loans. A loan is impaired when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Total deposits increased by $117.1 million, or 12.6%, to $1.044 billion at September 30, 2004 from $926.4 million at December 31, 2003. The increase resulted from increases of $115.1 million in certificates of deposit, $25.5 24 million in demand deposits, $6.5 million in savings accounts and $648,000 in NOW accounts. Offsetting these increases were declines of $17.4 million in Investors' Money Market accounts and $13.2 million in money market accounts. Total short-term borrowings decreased by $27.7 million, or 15.0%, to $157.1 million at September 30, 2004 from $184.8 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from declines of $30.8 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and $1.5 million in federal funds purchased. Offsetting these decreases were increases of $5.0 million in other borrowings, primarily short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Long-term borrowings decreased by $20.0 million, or 66.6%, to $10.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $30.0 million at December 31, 2003. Long-term borrowings are primarily long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Total stockholders' equity increased by $8.7 million, or 9.7%, to $98.7 million at September 30, 2004 from $90.0 million at December 31, 2003. Net income of $10.8 million, plus the increase in the accumulated other comprehensive income of $486,000, less dividends of $3.7 million, plus $1.3 million for stock issued through options exercised and stock option expense, minus $157,000 for the cost of treasury stock purchased, comprised most of this increase. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's risk based capital regulations require that all banking organizations maintain an 8.0% total risk based capital ratio. The FDIC has also established definitions of "well capitalized" as a 5.0% Tier I leverage capital ratio, a 6.0% Tier I risk based capital ratio and a 10.0% total risk based capital ratio. All of the Company's ratios continue to be above "well capitalized" levels. As of September 30, 2004, the Company's Tier 1 leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk based capital ratio and total risk based capital ratio were 9.2%, 11.7% and 12.7%, respectively. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest rate risk represents the Company's primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have a material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not have any material amount of derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The board of directors annually reviews and approves the policy used to manage interest rate risk. The policy was last reviewed and approved in May 2004. The policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income, but does not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. The Company, through its Asset/Liability Committee, manages interest rate risk by monitoring the computer simulated earnings impact of various rate scenarios 25 and general market conditions. The Company then modifies its long-term risk parameters by attempting to generate the type of loans, investments, and deposits that currently fit the Company's needs, as determined by the Asset/Liability Committee. This computer simulation analysis measures the net interest income impact of various interest rate scenario changes during the next 12 months. If the change in net interest income is less than 3% of primary capital, the balance sheet structure is considered to be within acceptable risk levels. At September 30, 2004, the Company's potential pretax exposure was within the Company's policy limit, and not significantly different from December 31, 2003. ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This document contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company.

Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following: 26 o The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts its operations which may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of the Company's assets. o The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks. o The effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, insurance and monetary and financial matters. o The effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of changes in the rate of prepayments of the Company's assets) and the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. o The ability of the Company to compete with other financial institutions as effectively as the Company currently intends due to increases in competitive pressures in the financial services sector. o The ability of the Company to obtain new customers and to retain existing customers. o The timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet. o Technological changes implemented by the Company and by other parties, including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to the Company and its customers. o The ability of the Company to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems. o The ability of the Company to retain key executives and employees and the difficulty that the Company may experience in replacing key executives and employees in an effective manner. o Consumer spending and saving habits, which may change in a manner that affects the Company's business adversely. 27 o Business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses, which may be more difficult or expensive than expected. o The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation. o Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. o The ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including other factors that could materially affect the Company's financial results, is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 28 LAKELAND FINANCIAL CORPORATION FORM 10-Q September 30, 2004 Part II - Other Information Item 1.
