MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Overview and Outlook

Our Business

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida is a single-bank holding company located on Florida’s southeast coast (as far south as Broward County and north to Brevard County) as well as Florida’s interior around Lake Okeechobee and up to and including Orlando. The Company has 43 full service branches, one of which was acquired in Indian River County from another Florida based institution in January 2005 and three of which were acquired in Orlando (two in Orange County and one in Seminole County), a result of the acquisition of Century National Bank (“Century”) in April 2005. In addition, the Company acquired Big Lake National Bank (“Big Lake”) with nine offices located in central Florida serving the counties of DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, Okeechobee, and St. Lucie on April 1, 2006. De novo branches were opened in Palm Beach County in May 2006, Brevard County in February, 2007 and Broward County in October, 2007. The Company closed its Port St. Lucie WalMart location on December 31, 2007.

The Company plans to open five new branches over the next year, and will close offices in another WalMart location (in St. Lucie County) in early 2008 as well as five other branch locations (in Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach County), several of which are adjacent to the new branches and will close simultaneously with their openings prospectively. The coastal markets in which the Company operates have had population growth rates over the past 10 years of over 20 percent and are expected to grow an additional 20 percent or more over the next 10 years. Prospectively, the Company will consider other strategic acquisitions as part of the Company’s overall future growth plans provided they are in complementary and attractive growth markets within the state of Florida.

For purposes of the following discussion, the words the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the combined entities of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.

Strategic Overview

The Company operates both a full retail banking strategy in its core markets which are some of Florida’s fastest growing and wealthiest, as well as, a complete commercial banking strategy. The markets are comprised of Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties located on Florida’s southeast coast and contain 26 of the 43 retail branch locations including 3 private banking centers. Because of the significant branch coverage in these markets, the Company ranks number 2 in deposit market share. The Company’s deposit mix is very favorable with over 70 percent of deposit balances comprised of NOW, savings, money market and noninterest bearing transaction customer accounts. Therefore, the cost of deposits averaged 2.90 percent for 2007 which ranks among the lowest when compared to the Company’s peer group similar asset size. As part of the Company’s complete retail product and service offerings, customers are provided wealth management services through its full service broker dealer and trust wealth management divisions.

Over the past five years the Company has improved its revenues by expanding its commercial/commercial real estate and consumer lending capabilities. This has included de novo market expansion into Palm Beach, Broward and Brevard Counties with added loan officers, loan production offices and retail branches. The Company continues to explore acquisitions and de novo expansion into other markets to further enhance its loan production capabilities and increase its revenues

The added lending capabilities resulted in the largest commercial and commercial real estate production in the Company’s history in 2007, 2006 and 2005. A total of $445 million was originated in 2007, compared to $443 million in 2006 and $465 million in 2005. In 2007 the Company closed $135 million in residential loans, lower than the $172 million and $195 million in closed production in 2006 and 2005. The slower residential real estate market and uncertain economic conditions dampened residential sales and as a result residential loan production. However, with better market penetration, expanded coverage and the expectation of lower interest rates, the Company seeks improved residential loan production in 2008.

The net interest margin improved from 3.57 percent in 2003 to 4.15 percent in 2006, but declined to 3.92 percent in 2007. An inverted interest rate curve early in 2007 and disintermediation resulted in a less favorable deposit mix, along with higher average nonaccrual loan balances in the last six months of 2007, resulted in lower net interest margin. The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 3.71 percent and it is likely to remain under pressure until economic conditions stabilize and nonaccrual loans are resolved.

The Company refers to its brand of banking as the third alternative to banking: all of the sophisticated products and services of its largest competitors delivered with the high touch quality customer service and convenience of a small community bank. While this strategy is more costly from an overhead perspective, we believe it provides high value customer relationships and a much lower overall cost of funds when compared to peers. The net interest margin improved from 3.57 percent in 2003 to 4.15 percent in 2006, but declined to 3.92 percent in 2007. An inverted interest rate curve early in 2007 and disintermediation resulted in a less favorable deposit mix, along with higher average nonaccrual loan balances in the last six months of 2007, resulted in lower net interest margin. The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 3.71 percent and it is likely to remain under pressure until economic conditions stabilize and nonaccrual loans are resolved.

Loan Growth and Lending Policies

The Company’s lending policies, credit monitoring and underwriting have historically produced, over the long term, low net charge offs and nonperforming loans and minimal past dues. Our Company’s credit culture emphasizes discipline to the fundamentals of quality lending regardless of the economic cycle or competitive pressures to do otherwise. The majority of the Company’s commercial and commercial real estate loans are originated in its markets by experienced professional loan officers who retain credit monitoring and collection responsibilities until the loan is repaid. During 2006, the Company enhanced its credit process by delineating a separate commercial real estate construction loan disbursement function devoted to monitoring construction activities by borrowers as well as the Company’s funding for those activities. During late 2006 and 2007, the economic environment in Florida began to weaken so the Company increased its focus and monitoring of the Company’s exposure to residential land, acquisition and development loans. These increased activities have resulted in greater loan pay-downs, guarantor performance, and the obtaining of additional collateral. We believe these practices have helped and will continue to help us manage our risks resulting from economic and real estate conditions in our markets.

During 2005 and 2006 loan portfolio growth totaled 43.4 percent and 34.4 percent, respectively. For 2007, loan growth totaled 9.5 percent, in line with expectations for 8 to 10 percent growth for the year. Higher mortgage rates and a slow down in new and existing home sales in the Company’s markets have reduced demand for residential mortgages and construction lending for new homes in 2007 and is expected to remain soft into 2008. Anticipated pay-downs in 2008 are likely to further limit loan growth. However, over the long term, the Company’s expansion into Palm Beach, Brevard, and Broward Counties, and acquisitions in 2005 and 2006 will positively contribute to overall loan growth and the Company’s lending capacity. Total loans outstanding in these new markets totaled $346 million, $38 million, $65 million, $168 million and $188 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007.

Deposit Growth, Mix and Costs

While the Company benefited in 2005 from low interest rates and increases in low cost and no cost deposits, this trend reversed in 2006 and 2007. The Federal Reserve decreased interest rates 50 basis points in September 2007 for the first time since increasing rates 425 basis points beginning in June 2004, with the last 50 basis point increases occurring during the first and second quarter of 2006. As a result, the Company experienced disintermediation (customers desiring higher cost certificates of deposit) during 2006 and 2007. In addition, a deteriorating residential real estate market translated to lower escrow deposits held by title companies, attorneys, etc. over the last two years, and remaining FEMA and insurance related deposits from the 2004-05 hurricanes were mostly disbursed in 2006. The Company is confident of its continued emphasis on its brand of banking with high quality customer service and convenient branch locations that will provide stable low cost deposit funding growth over the long term. Prospectively, the Company plans to build its retail deposit franchise using new strategies and product offerings while maintaining its focus on building customer

relationships. More of management’s time and efforts will be devoted to this effort ranking as the second highest priority to problem loan resolutions. The Company believes it is the most convenient bank in its Treasure Coast markets with more locations than any competitor in the counties of Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River, which are located on Florida’s southeast coast.

Over the past two years, noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased 16.4 percent and 17.2 percent, respectively, and low cost NOW, savings and money market deposits increased 13.6 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively while interest rates increased during 2006 and remained higher during much of 2007, the Company’s overall deposit mix remains favorable and its average cost of deposits, including noninterest bearing demand deposits, remains low. The average cost of deposits for 2007 increased 74 basis points over the prior year to 2.88 percent. The Company is executing the same value building customer relationship strategy for retail deposits in all of its markets, including its denovo entry into Palm Beach County and Broward County where noninterest bearing deposits and low cost interest bearing deposits represent 21.5 percent and 53.3 percent of total deposits and 28.3 percent and 56.4 percent of total deposits, respectively, in those markets at December 31, 2007.

Noninterest Income Sources

In addition to fee income from mortgage banking activities, the Company derives fees from service charges on deposit accounts, investment management, trust and brokerage services, as well as from originating and selling large yacht loans. It is the Company’s objective to increase its share of its customers’ financial services and to generate approximately 30 percent of total revenues from all fee businesses in the coming years. In 2007 and 2006, the Company collected approximately 23 percent and 21 percent of total revenues (net interest income and noninterest income), respectively, from its fee-based business activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP,” including prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain of its accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, which may materially affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time and the use of revised estimates and assumptions could materially affect amounts reported in subsequent financial statements. After consultation with the Company’s Audit Committee, we believe the most critical accounting estimates and assumptions that may affect the Company’s financial status and that involve the most difficult, subjective and complex assessments are:


	•	the allowance and the provision for loan losses;

	•	the fair value of securities;

	•	goodwill impairment; and

	•	contingent liabilities.

The following is a brief discussion of the critical accounting policies intended to facilitate a reader’s understanding of the judgments, estimates and assumptions underlying these accounting policies and the possible or likely events or uncertainties known to us that could have a material effect on our reported financial information. For more information regarding management’s judgments relating to significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note A-Significant Accounting Policies.”

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

Management determines the provision for loan losses charged to operations by continually analyzing and monitoring delinquencies, nonperforming loans and the level of outstanding balances for each loan category,

as well as the amount of net charge-offs, and by estimating losses inherent in its portfolio. While the Company’s policies and procedures used to estimate the provision for loan losses charged to operations are considered adequate by management there exist factors beyond the control of the Company, such as general economic conditions both locally and nationally, which make management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the provision and allowance for loan losses necessarily approximate and imprecise (see “Nonperforming Assets”.)

Loan growth over the past year totaled approximately 9.5 percent. While loan growth is expected to be slower in 2008, the Company’s loan loss provisioning may increase as problem loans related to the slow residential real estate market negatively impacts borrowers and valuations. The last time the Company experienced higher net charge-offs and nonperforming loans was during the period 1988-1993 when the real estate markets in Florida experienced deflation and the national economy was in recession.

Nonperforming assets increased in the third and fourth quarter of 2007 as several loans to developers of residential real estate projects experienced cash flow difficulties and were placed on nonaccrual status (see “Note F — Impaired Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Nonperforming Assets”). Between June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, nonaccrual loans increased $52.5 million to $67.8 million. The Company’s land and acquisition and development loans related to the residential market totals approximately $295 million or 15.7 percent of total loans at December 31, 2007. All of these lending relationships have been monitored on a monthly basis for the last year and half. More recently, the value of the underlying real estate has been currently evaluated using a discounted cash flow approach using estimated holding periods and prospective future sales values discounted at rates we believe are appropriate.

These collateral evaluations (including the potential effects of existing sales contract cancellations) in response to the changes in the market values for residential real estate resulted in the establishment of valuation allowances and increases in provision for loan losses of $8,375,000 and $3,813,000 in the third and fourth quarter of 2007, respectively. A total provision of $12,745,000 was recorded for the year in 2007. In comparison, a provision of $3,285,000 was recorded during 2006, partially as a result of loan growth of $443 million or 34 percent in 2006, including $204 million of loans from an acquisition. A $1,317,000 provision was recorded during 2005, when loans increased $390 million or 43 percent (including $107 million in loans from an acquisition). Net charge-offs totaled $5,758,000 or 0.31 percent of average loans in 2007, compared to net recoveries of $(106,000) or (0.01) percent of average loans for 2006 and net charge-offs of $134,000 or 0.01 percent of average loans for 2005. Net charge-offs were nominal in prior years at $562,000 or 0.07 percent of average loans for 2004, $666,000 or 0.10 percent of average loans for 2003, $208,000 or 0.03 percent of average loans for 2002 and $184,000 or 0.02 percent of average loans for 2001.

A historically favorable credit loss experience limited the need to provide large additions to the allowance for loan losses in 2006 and 2005. However, during the fourth quarter of 2006 provisioning was increased to $2,250,000. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company undertook a comprehensive review of all large credits, primarily construction loans, where the primary source of repayment is related to the sale of residential real estate. The review was undertaken to ensure that there was proper identification of risks associated with recent changes in market conditions impacting the Florida real estate market. While no immediate or impaired loans were identified, the change in market condition resulted in increased loan loss provisioning during the fourth quarter of 2006 and for the year.

Table 12 provides certain information concerning the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the years indicated.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $21,902,000 at December 31, 2007, $6,987,000 greater than one year earlier. At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $14,915,000. A model utilized to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses takes into account such factors as credit quality, loan concentrations, internal controls, audit results, staff turnover, local market economics and loan growth. In its continuing evaluation of the allowance and its adequacy, management also considers, among other factors, the Company’s loan loss experience, loss experience of peer banks, the amount of past due and nonperforming loans, current and anticipated economic conditions, and the estimated values of loan collateral. Commercial

and commercial real estate loans are assigned internal risk ratings reflecting our estimate of the probability of the borrower defaulting on any obligation and the estimated probable loss in the event of default. Retail credit risk is managed from a portfolio view rather than by specific borrower and are assigned internal risk rankings reflecting the combined probability of default and loss. The independent Credit Administration Department assigns risk factors to the individual internal risk ratings based on a determination of the risk using a variety of tools and information. Loan Review is an independent unit that performs risk reviews and evaluates a representative sample of credit extensions after the fact. Loan Review has the authority to change internal risk ratings and is responsible for assessing the adequacy of credit underwriting. This unit reports directly to the Directors Loan Committee of the Board of Directors.

The allowance as a percentage of loans outstanding increased from 0.70 percent to 0.86 percent during 2006 and increased to 1.15 percent during 2007. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Table 13 summarizes the Company’s allocation of the allowance for loan losses to each type of loan and information regarding the composition of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Concentration of credit risk, discussed under “Loan Portfolio” of this discussion and analysis, can affect the level of the allowance and may involve loans to one borrower, an affiliated group of borrowers, borrowers engaged in or dependent upon the same industry, or a group of borrowers whose loans are predicated on the same type of collateral. The Company’s significant concentration of credit is a collateral concentration of loans secured by real estate. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $1,684 million in loans secured by real estate, representing 88.7 percent of total loans, up slightly from 87.8 percent at December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company is subject to a geographic concentration of credit because it only operates in central and southeastern Florida. The Company has a meaningful credit exposure to commercial real estate developers and investors with total commercial real estate construction and land development loans of 28.3 percent of total loans at year-end 2007, versus 27.7 percent at year-end 2006. Generally, the Company’s exposure to these credits is secured by project assets and personal guarantees. Levels of exposure to this industry group, together with an assessment of current trends and expected future financial performance, are carefully analyzed in order in our evaluation of the allowance’s level.

While it is the Company’s policy to charge off in the current period loans in which a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future losses that cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, management’s judgment of the allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise. It is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan losses and the size of the allowance for loan losses in comparison to a group of peer companies identified by the regulatory agencies.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management relies predominantly on its ongoing review of the loan portfolio, which is undertaken both to ascertain whether there are probable losses that must be charged off and to assess the risk characteristics of the portfolio in aggregate. This review considers the judgments of management, and also those of bank regulatory agencies that review the loan portfolio as part of their regular examination process.

Our bank regulators have generally agreed with our credit assessments, however the regulators could seek additional provisions to our allowance for loan losses and additional capital in light of the risks of our markets and credits. As a result of economic conditions in our markets and our real estate exposure the bank regulators could, based on their evaluations of our credit quality, impose regulatory enforcement actions to implement such actions.

Nonperforming Assets

Table 14 provides certain information concerning nonperforming assets for the years indicated.

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2007 totaled $68,569,000 and are comprised of $67,834,000 of nonaccrual loans and $735,000 of other real estate owned (foreclosed property), compared to $12,465,000 at December 31, 2006 (comprised entirely of nonaccrual loans). At December 31, 2007, virtually all nonaccrual loans were secured with real estate, compared with $4.4 million at December 31, 2006. Also included in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2006 was a loan of approximately $8.0 million secured with both new and used boat inventory. This loan was repaid during the first quarter of 2007. At December 31, 2007, the majority of nonaccrual loans are land and acquisition and development loans related to the residential market which are being monitored monthly and are in the process of collection through foreclosure, refinancing or sale. Current residential real estate sales volumes are low compared to levels in years before 2007, and market prices have been declining over the last 12-18 months.

At December 31, 2007, $67,762,000 of the $67,834,000 of nonaccrual loan balances are considered impaired and $4,183,000 of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated for potential losses on these loans. During the third and fourth quarter of 2007, loans to several different developers secured with property for development of single family residential units were added to nonaccrual loans. Management believes that nonperforming loans will experience variability over the next few quarters that could result in increased net charge offs and loan loss provisioning. Nonperforming assets are subject to changes in the economy, both nationally and locally, changes in monetary and fiscal policies, and changes in conditions affecting various borrowers from the Company’s subsidiary bank. No assurance can be given that nonperforming assets will not in fact increase or otherwise change.

Fair Value of Securities Classified as Trading and Available for Sale

The Company elected to early adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 and 159 in the first quarter of 2007. The use of fair value accounting for financial instruments enables the Company to better align the financial results of those items with their economic value.

At December 31, 2007, trading securities totaled $13,913,000 and available for sale securities totaled $254,916,000. The fair value of the available for sale portfolio at December 31, 2007 was more than historical amortized cost, producing net unrealized gains of $500,000 that have been included in other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity. The fair value of each security available for sale or trading was obtained from independent pricing sources utilized by many financial institutions. However, actual values can only be determined in an arms-length transaction between a willing buyer and seller that can, and often do, vary from these reported values. Furthermore, significant changes in recorded values due to changes in actual and perceived economic conditions can occur rapidly, producing greater unrealized losses in the available for sale portfolio.

The credit quality of the Company’s security holdings is investment grade and higher and are traded in highly liquid markets. Negative changes in the fair values, as a result of unforeseen deteriorating economic conditions, should only be temporary. Further, management believes that the Company’s other sources of liquidity, as well as the cash flow from principal and interest payments from the securities portfolio, reduces the risk that losses would be realized as a result of needed liquidity from the securities portfolio.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company’s goodwill is no longer amortized, but tested annually for impairment. The amount of goodwill at December 31, 2007 totaled $49.8 million, and results from the acquisitions of three separate community banks whose operations have been fully integrated into one operating subsidiary bank of the Company. The Company operates as a single segment bank holding company.

The assessment as to the continued value for goodwill involves judgments, assumptions and estimates regarding the future. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s closing price per share in the open market approximated 92 percent of book value per share which was considered as a possible indication of impairment. The Company updated its annual impairment analysis, after January 1, 2008 using the assistance of an independent third party. In performing the analysis, management considered the make-up of assets and liabilities (loan and deposit composition), scarcity value, capital ratios, market share, credit quality, control

premiums, the type of financial institution, its overall size, the various markets in which the institution conducts business, as well as, profitability. Based upon the results of this analysis, management concluded that goodwill had suffered no impairment at December 31, 2007. Management anticipates that goodwill will need to be tested more frequently for impairment during this period of economic stress and uncertainty, which could result in future impairment.

Our highly visible local market orientation, combined with a wide range of products and services and favorable demographics, provides the Company with a wide range of opportunities to increase sales volumes, both to existing and prospective customers, resulting in increasing profitability in these markets over the long term.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company is subject to contingent liabilities, including judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, tax and other claims arising from the conduct of our business activities. These proceedings include actions brought against the Company and/or our subsidiaries with respect to transactions in which the Company and/or our subsidiaries acted as a lender, a financial advisor, a broker or acted in a related activity. Accruals are established for legal and other claims when it becomes probable the Company will incur an expense and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company involves internal and external experts, such as attorneys, consultants and other professionals, in assessing probability and in estimating any amounts involved. Throughout the life of a contingency, the Company or our experts may learn of additional information that can affect our assessments about probability or about the estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments can lead to changes in recorded reserves. In addition, the actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those claims. The Company took a $275,000 charge as of December 31, 2007 for its portion of VISA credit card litigation and settlement costs. We expect that if VISA’s initial public offering is successfully completed, we will realize net proceeds greater than this contingent liability. Management is not aware of any other probable losses.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income Net interest income (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) for 2007 totaled $84,771,000, $4,523,000 or 5.1 percent less than for 2006. During 2007, unrecognized interest on loans placed on nonaccrual of $2,206,000 contributed to the decline from prior year (see “Table 14 — Nonperforming Assets”). The Company has operated in a more challenging interest rate environment, with unfavorable changes occurring in deposit mix over the past year due to an inverted yield curve.

Partially offsetting negative deposit matters, year over year the mix of earning assets improved. Loans (the highest yielding component of earning assets) as a percentage of average earning assets totaled 84.5 percent for 2007, compared to 72.6 percent a year ago. Average securities as a percent of average earning assets have decreased from 24.3 percent a year ago to 14.1 during 2007 and federal funds sold and other investments decreased to 1.4 percent from 3.1 percent over the same period in 2006. In addition to increasing total loans as a percentage of earning assets, the mix of loans improved, with commercial and commercial real estate volumes representing 62.2 percent of total loans at December 31, 2007 (compared to 60.3 percent a year ago at December 31, 2006) and lower yielding residential loan balances (including home equity loans and lines, and construction loans) representing 33.2 percent of total loans (versus 34.9 percent a year ago) (see “Loan Portfolio”).

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased 23 basis points over the last twelve months to 3.92 percent for 2007. The net interest margin was improved in the second quarter of 2007, up 17 basis points from 3.92 percent in the first quarter of 2007, in part reflecting the effect of a restructuring of our investment

portfolio during April 2007. The following table details net interest income and margin results (on a tax equivalent basis) for the past five quarters:


	Net Interest		Net Interest
	Income		Margin
	(Dollars in thousands)

Fourth quarter 2006	$	21,846		3.95	%
First quarter 2007		21,432		3.92
Second quarter 2007		21,468		4.09
Third quarter 2007		21,147		3.94
Fourth quarter 2007		20,724		3.71

The yield on earning assets for 2007 was 6.95 percent, 43 basis points higher than for results in 2006, reflecting an improving earning assets mix over 2006 and into 2007. Between September 2007 and the end of 2007, the Federal Reserve decreased interest rates 100 basis points, the first time it has done so since increasing rates 425 basis points beginning in June 2004, with the last 50 basis point increases occurring during the first and second quarter of 2006. The following table details the yield on earning assets (on a tax equivalent basis) for the past five quarters:


	4th Quarter			3rd Quarter			2nd Quarter			1st Quarter			4th Quarter
	2007			2007			2007			2007			2006

Yield		6.71	%		7.05	%		7.10	%		6.92	%		6.73	%

Improving loan yields year over year due to loan growth and a greater percent of the portfolio in floating rate loans were partially offset by additions to nonaccrual loans that reduced the yield on loans by approximately 12 basis points. The yield on investment securities was improved, increasing 73 basis points year over year to 5.02 percent. The improvement was due primarily to the restructuring of the investment portfolio, with approximately $225 million in securities with an average yield of 3.87 percent sold at the beginning of the second quarter of 2007.

Average earning assets for 2007 increased $14.4 million or 0.7 percent compared to 2006. Average loan balances grew $267.9 million or 17.2 percent to $1,828.5 million, average federal funds sold and other investments decreased $37.7 million to $29.8 million, and average investment securities were $215.7 million or 41.4 percent lower, totaling $305.8 million. Funds derived from securities sold in April 2007 were either reinvested in securities at current rates, utilized to reduce federal funds purchased or invested in federal funds sold. Overall, total average assets remained about the same year over year, growing by $9.3 million or 0.4 percent during 2007.

The increase in loans year over year was principally in income producing commercial real estate loans, in part reflecting the Company’s successful expansion with the addition of full service branch locations in Broward and Brevard County, and loan officer additions in the Treasure Coast, Big Lake and Orlando regions. At December 31, 2007, commercial lenders in the Company’s newer markets (Palm Beach County, Brevard County, Broward County, Orlando, and the Big Lake region) have new loan pipelines totaling $249 million and total outstanding loans of $805 million. At December 31, 2007 the Company’s total commercial and commercial real estate loan pipeline was $381 million.

Total commercial and commercial real estate loan production for 2007 totaled $445 million, with $72 million in the fourth quarter, $146 million in the third quarter, $151 million in the second quarter, and first quarter production of $76 million. The Company expects annual loan growth to slow in 2008 due to expected pay-downs and reduced loan production.

Closed residential loan production for 2007 totaled $135 million, with production by quarter as follows: fourth quarter 2007 production of $27 million, of which $9 million was sold servicing released, third quarter 2007 production of $31 million, of which $11 million was sold servicing released, second quarter 2007 production of $42 million, with $22 million sold servicing released, and first quarter 2007 production of $35 million, with $15 million sold servicing released. Higher mortgage rates and a slow down in existing

home sales in the Company’s markets have reduced demand for residential mortgages and demand for new homes is expected to remain soft into 2008.

During 2007, maturities of securities totaled $77.7 million (including $40.4 million in pay-downs), securities sales totaling $253.8 million were transacted (principally due to the portfolio restructuring in April 2007), and security purchases totaled $219.0 million. Due to the ongoing inverted yield curve and other economic challenges, the Company determined it was in the best interest of shareholders to restructure its balance sheet by selling low yielding securities and paying off overnight borrowings. As a result, management identified approximately $225 million in securities which had an average yield of approximately 3.87 percent and sold them in April 2007. This was after the Company had recognized losses for other-than-temporary impairment of $5.1 million ($3.7 million net of income taxes) at March 31, 2007. Subsequent purchases of securities during the second quarter of 2007 reflected management’s intent to improve the overall yield of the securities portfolio. Activity in the Company’s securities portfolio was limited in 2006, with maturities of securities of $151.1 million and purchases totaling $92.6 million. Sales proceeds in 2006 totaled $112.4 million. The more unfavorable deposit mix that existed during the second and third quarter improved in the fourth quarter of 2007. Lower cost interest bearing deposits during the fourth quarter of 2007 were 60.6 percent of average interest bearing deposits, compared to 58.3 percent for the third quarter of 2007, 58.8 percent for the second quarter of 2007, and 60.8 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The percentage for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 61.4 percent and for all of 2006 was 63.9 percent. Average CDs (a higher cost component of interest bearing deposits) over the past 12 months were 40.4 percent of average interest bearing deposits compared to 36.1 percent for all of 2006, reflecting the higher rate environment and disintermediation.

Average short-term borrowings were higher for 2007, increasing $29,565,000 or 24.8 percent to $148,610,000. Because of expected loan payoffs and cash flow from investment securities during 2007, the Company chose to temporarily rely on short-term borrowings during the first quarter of 2007. Average federal funds purchased increased to 5.6 percent of average interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2007, with overall short-term borrowings (including federal funds purchased and sweep repurchase agreements with customers of the Company’s subsidiary) higher at 12.9 percent of interest bearing liabilities. In comparison, average federal funds purchased averaged only 0.4 percent, 1.6 percent and 1.7 percent of interest bearing liabilities during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2007, respectively, and average short-term borrowings were 6.6 percent, 7.4 percent and 7.4 percent of interest bearing liabilities, respectively, reflecting reductions using funds from securities sales in April 2007.

Average other borrowings including subordinated debt increased by $8.3 million or 12.1 percent to $77.2 million. On June 29, 2007, the Company issued $12,372,000 in subordinated debentures, and simultaneously paid off a 3-year term loan for $12,000,000 originated on February 16, 2006. The rate on the term loan adjusted quarterly and was based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 130 basis points. The subordinated debt was issued in conjunction with the formation of a Delaware trust subsidiary, SBCF Statutory Trust III, which completed a private sale of $12.0 million of floating rate trust preferred securities. The Company has two prior subordinated debt issuances, similarly done in conjunction with trust subsidiaries issuing $40.0 million in floating rate trust preferred securities. The rate on the Company’s newest subordinated debt issuance adjusts quarterly, based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 135 basis points. The Company also added two advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of $25 million each on September 25, 2007 and November 27, 2007, respectively, with fixed rates of 3.64 percent and 2.70 percent. The borrowings are convertible to a variable rate on a quarterly basis at the discretion of the FHLB and the Company has the option to repay the borrowing if the FHLB elects to convert (see Note I-Borrowings).

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities in 2007 increased 72 basis points to 3.78 percent from 2006, in part due to the Federal Reserve increasing short-term interest rates by 50 basis points during the first and second quarter of 2006. The Federal Reserve lowered rates 50 basis points in September 2007, 25 basis points at the end of October 2007 and 25 basis points in December 2007 and the cost of interest bearing liabilities declined in the fourth quarter 2007. In January 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered rates an additional 125 basis points. With many of the Company’s deposit products re-pricing, the future cost for interest bearing liabilities should improve. During 2007, approximately $529 million of the Company’s certificates of deposit matured and

$529 million will mature in 2008. The following table details the cost of interest bearing liabilities for the past five quarters:


	4th Quarter			3rd Quarter			2nd Quarter			1st Quarter			4th Quarter
	2007			2007			2007			2007			2006

Rate		3.71	%		3.88	%		3.79	%		3.74	%		3.52	%

The average aggregated balance for NOW, savings and money market balances decreased $38.5 million or 4.1 percent to $901.8 million for 2007 compared to 2006, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $87.9 million or 19.7 percent to $358.6 million, and average CDs increased by $80.3 million or 15.1 percent to $610.4 million. Slowing activity in the residential real estate market (resulting in declining title company and escrow deposits), as well as completed commercial real estate construction projects (and associated escrow deposits depleting at end of construction), have contributed to the decline in noninterest bearing deposits. Company management believes its market expansion and marketing will result in new relationships and growth in low-cost/no cost funding sources over time. However, economic factors are likely to continue to challenge growth, and with the Company’s loan to deposit ratio at 95.6 percent at December 31, 2007 will likely make margin expansion challenging. Pressure on the net interest margin is expected to continue in 2008 and may increase if deposit mix improves as a result of management’s strategies to around retail deposit growth is successful.

Net interest income (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) for 2006 totaled $89,294,000, $16,997,000 or 23.5 percent more than for 2005. Net interest income for 2006 included $8.9 million from the addition of Big Lake. While net interest income year over year was improved, a result of an improving asset mix, growth in earning assets, and margin improvement, results for the last two quarters of 2006 steadily declined from the second quarter of 2006, impacted by a more challenging environment, with deposits declining and an unfavorable change in deposit mix.

Compared to 2005, the mix of earning assets improved during 2006. Loans (the highest yielding component of earning assets) as a percentage of average earning assets totaled 72.6 percent for 2006 compared to 61.3 percent for 2005, while average securities decreased from 32.7 percent to 24.3 percent and average federal funds sold and other investments decreased to 3.1 percent from 6.0 percent. In addition to increasing total loans as a percentage of earning assets, the Company successfully maintained the mix of loans, with commercial and commercial real estate volumes representing 60.3 percent of total loans at December 31, 2006 (versus 60.1 percent at December 31, 2005) and residential loan balances (including home equity loans and lines, and construction loans) representing 34.9 percent of total loans (versus 33.5 percent at December 31, 2005).

Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis increased 18 basis points to 4.15 percent for 2006, compared to 2005. The yield on earning assets for 2006 was 6.52 percent, 111 basis points higher than for 2005, reflecting an improving earning assets mix over 2005 and into 2006 and increased interest rates. Interest rates have increased 100 basis points during 2006 as a result of Federal Reserve actions. The yield on loans improved 80 basis points to 7.34 percent during 2006 as a result of a improving yields due to loan growth and a greater percent of the portfolio in floating rate loans. In addition, an increase in the yield on investment securities of 63 basis points year over year to 4.29 percent was recorded and the yield on federal funds sold and other investments grew 144 basis points to 4.75 percent. Average earning assets for 2006 increased $327.7 million or 18.0 percent compared to 2005. Average loan balances grew $444.6 million or 39.8 percent to $1,560.7 million, average federal funds sold and other investments decreased $42.1 million or 38.4 percent to $67.5 million, and average investment securities were $74.8 million or 12.5 percent lower, totaling $521.4 million.

The increase in loans was principally in commercial real estate loans. The addition of Big Lake increased average loan balances $201 million during 2006. At December 31, 2006, commercial lenders in the Company’s newer markets (Palm Beach County, Brevard County, Orlando and the Big Lake region) have new loan pipelines totaling $95 million and total outstanding loans of $747.7 million. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s total commercial loan pipeline was $271 million. Total commercial loan production for 2006 totaled $443 million compared to $465 million for 2005.

Closed residential loan production during 2006 totaled $172 million, of which $49 million was sold servicing released to manage interest rate risk and to generate fee income. In comparison, $195 million in residential loans were produced in 2005, with $80 million sold servicing released.

While still a significant component favorably affecting the Company’s net interest margin, lower cost interest bearing deposits declined as a percentage of deposits in 2006. Consistent with prior periods where interest rates increased, customers migrated to higher cost certificates of deposit from alternative lower cost interest bearing deposit products. Exacerbating this migration, local competitors aggressively increased their certificate of deposit rates throughout 2006. Lower cost interest bearing deposits (NOW, savings and money market balances) were 56.7 percent of average interest bearing deposits for 2006, versus 60.0 percent for 2005. Average certificates of deposit for 2006 increased to 32.0 percent of interest bearing deposits from 29.5 percent for 2005. The trend worsened as 2006 progressed evidenced by fourth quarter 2006 average balance results, with lower cost deposits making up 53.6 percent of average interest bearing deposits and certificates of deposit 33.6 percent.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities in 2006 increased 115 basis points to 3.06 percent from 2005.

For 2006, average deposits were higher compared to 2005, increasing 16.5 percent, with average NOW, savings and money market balances increasing $115.3 million or 14.0 percent, noninterest bearing deposits higher by $31.1 million or 7.5 percent, and certificates of deposit increasing $125.1 million or 30.9 percent. Average short-term borrowings (principally sweep repurchase agreements with customers of the Company’s subsidiary bank and Federal Funds purchased) increased, by $34.1 million or 40.1 percent to $119.0 million for 2006, versus a year ago. Trend results for the last half of 2006 differed somewhat from the year over year comparisons. From the second quarter of 2006 (which included the Big Lake acquisition) to year-end 2006, average NOW, savings and money market balances declined $68.3 million or 6.9 percent, noninterest bearing demand deposits were lower by $80.5 million or 16.2 percent, and certificates of deposit increased $47.9 million or 9.0 percent. Some of the decline in low-cost/no cost funding was caused by interest rate disintermediation as customers migrated to higher paying certificates of deposit and, in some instances, to repurchase agreements. Growth in certificates of deposit during 2006 was intentionally limited, with the Company remaining cautious in the pricing of its certificates of deposit as it believed the growing risk of a slowing economy could produce lower short term interest rates in the future. Slowing activity in the residential real estate market (resulting in declining title company and escrow deposits) and completed commercial real estate construction projects (and associated deposits depleting at end of construction) also contributed to the decrease in deposits during the last two quarters of 2006.

Average other borrowings increased $9.4 million or 15.8 percent during 2006, compared to 2005. A $6.0 million advance on a $15.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit (initially drawn upon in June 2005) was repaid during the first quarter of 2005 and replaced by a 3-year term loan of $12.0 million. The $12.0 million term loan was obtained to provide a longer term source for funding, rather than the single revolving line of credit which had to be renewed annually (see Note I-Borrowings).

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income, excluding gains and losses from the sale of securities and a partnership interest, totaled $24,910,000, $1,797,000 or 7.8 percent higher than for 2006. For 2006, noninterest income of $23,113,000 was $2,596,000 or 12.7 percent higher than for 2005. Noninterest income, as defined above, accounted for 22.8 percent of total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding securities gains or losses, and the gain on sale of partnership interest) in 2007 compared to 20.6 percent a year ago.

For 2007, revenues from the Company’s wealth management services decreased year over year, by $350,000 or 6.0 percent, compared to an increase of $725,000 or 14.1 percent for 2006 versus 2005. Trust revenue was lower by $283,000 or 9.9 percent and brokerage commissions and fees were lower by $67,000 or 2.2 percent during 2007. Included in the $67,000 decrease in brokerage commissions and fees were increases in brokerage commissions of $77,000 and commissions from life insurance sales and other management fees of $23,000, with revenue from mutual fund sales more than offsetting, down $167,000 year over year. During the second quarter of 2006, brokerage commissions and fees totaled an unusually strong $1,042,000, with a

commission of $168,000 collected from a single customer on an insurance annuity sale, and boosting overall performance for 2006. Lower estate fees were the primary cause for the decline in trust income for 2007, decreasing by $412,000 from 2006. While revenues from wealth management services generally improved during 2006 as customers returned to the equity markets, revenue generation was challenging in 2007 due to higher interest rate deposit products offered as an alternative and an uncertain economic environment. The Company believes it can be successful and expand its customer relationships through sales of investment management and brokerage products, including insurance.

Service charges on deposits in 2007 were $930,000 or 13.7 percent higher year over year versus 2006. In comparison, 2006’s service charges on deposits were $1,762,000 or 35.1 percent higher compared to 2005. Service charges on deposits from an acquisition comprised $1,501,000 of 2006’s overall increase. Overdraft fees were higher during 2007 and 2006, increasing $959,000 or 18.9 percent in 2007, versus 2006, and $1,410,000 or 38.6 percent higher in 2006, versus 2005. Of the $1,410,000 increase in overdraft fees in 2006, $1,183,000 was related to the acquisition. Growth rates for remaining service charge fees on deposits have been lower, as the trend over the past few years is for customers to prefer deposit products which have no fees or where fees can be avoided by maintaining balance requirements.

Marine finance fees from the non-recourse sale of marine loans increased $156,000 or 5.8 percent compared to 2006’s results, after decreasing $359,000 or 11.7 percent in 2006 versus 2005. The Company’s marine finance division (Seacoast Marine Finance) produced $186 million in marine loans during 2007, compared to $153 million in 2006 and $189 million in 2005. Of the $186 million of production during 2007, $160 million was sold. In comparison, for 2006 marine loans totaling $148 million were sold. Marine loan production was very good during 2007, considering higher oil prices have dampened demand during the past couple years, along with higher insurance costs after 2004’s and 2005’s hurricanes. While fewer finance opportunities were available in 2006, production improved in 2007 and the Company chose to retain more loans in its portfolio during 2007, versus prior year. Seacoast Marine Finance is headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida with lending professionals in Florida, and California. The production team in California is capable of not only serving California, but Washington and Oregon as well. The Company will continue to look for opportunities to expand its market penetration of its marine business.

Greater usage of check cards over the past several years by core deposit customers and an increased cardholder base has increased interchange income. For 2007, debit card income increased $157,000 or 7.3 percent from a year ago, and was $435,000 or 25.4 percent higher in 2006 than 2005. Contributing to the increase in 2006 was the addition of approximately $330,000 in revenue from an acquisition. Other deposit based electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) income increased $30,000 or 7.1 percent in 2007 compared to 2006, after increasing $4,000 in 2006 versus 2005. Debit card and other deposit based EFT revenue is dependent upon business volumes transacted, as well as the amplitude of fees permitted by VISA and MasterCard.

The Company is a leader in the production of residential mortgages in its markets, with loans processed by commissioned originators, many referred by the Company’s branch personnel. While higher in 2007, mortgage banking revenue as a component of overall noninterest income has diminished, from 8.8 percent for 2005 to 4.9 percent for 2006 and 5.7 percent for 2007. This is directly related to a greater volume of loans as a percent of overall production being retained in the loan portfolio, primarily loans with adjustable rates. With the Company’s expanded market presence and some improvement on pricing regarding products sold, mortgage banking revenue improved in 2007. Year over year, mortgage banking fees increased $278,000 or 24.6 percent in 2007 compared to 2006, after decreasing $679,000 or 37.5 percent in 2006 versus 2005. Sales of residential loans in 2007 totaled $56 million, versus $49 million in 2006 and $80 million in 2005. Fee income from mortgage banking activities remained challenging in 2007 due to a slower housing market, with some of this weakness offset by higher production related to refinance activities and expanded market share. Mortgage revenues are dependent upon favorable interest rates, as well as, good overall economic conditions, including the values of new and used sales. Mortgage rates and origination fees remain high, not withstanding the general reduction in interest rates effected by the Federal Reserve. The secondary market for residential mortgage loans sales remains limited and continues to be disrupted.

Merchant income for 2007 was $296,000 or 11.6 percent higher than in 2006, and was $315,000 or 14.1 percent higher in 2006 compared to 2005. Merchant income as a source of revenue is dependent upon the volume of credit card transactions that occur with merchants who have business demand deposits with the Company’s banking subsidiary. The Company’s expansion into new markets has positively impacted merchant income, contributing to the increases for 2007 and 2006.

After signing a lease for banking facilities in 2002, the Company invested in a partnership to construct a high-rise building with 67,500 square feet of rentable space in 2004 for its corporate headquarters in Palm Beach County (opened in May 2006). The Company’s investment represented 10 percent of total funds contributed to the partnership. In November 2006, the partnership was dissolved upon settlement of the sale of the building. As a result, the Company recorded a $1,147,000 gain which was recognized during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Noninterest Expenses

The Company’s overhead ratio has ranged in the low 60s over the past few years. The efficiency ratio of 63.3 percent for 2006 compares to 2005’s ratio of 63.7 percent. However, lower earnings in 2007 resulted in this ratio increasing to 69.4 percent. When compared to 2006, noninterest expenses for 2007 increased by $4,378,000 or 6.0 percent to $77,423,000, compared to an increase of $13,945,000 or 23.6 percent in 2006. Of the $4,378,000 increase, noninterest expenses for the acquired bank totaled $1,480,000 during the first quarter of 2007, compared to zero for the prior year; excluding this, noninterest expenses increased 4.0 percent year over year for 2007 versus 2006. Of the $13,945,000 increase in 2006, $5,658,000 was due to the acquired bank In addition, one-time merger costs of $582,000 and $304,000 for the Company’s banking subsidiary name change were incurred in 2006. After the acquisition, the Company chose to align its banking subsidiary’s name more closely with its corporate identity, renaming its banking subsidiary Seacoast National Bank. Also impacting overhead in 2006 were marketing expenses associated with the Company’s new markets.

Noninterest expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were in line with management guidance provided of $18.7 million. Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 2007 included additional spending related to the opening of a loan production office in Broward County and a new branch in Brevard County, as well as several loan officer hires in the Treasure Coast, Palm Beach, and Big Lake markets. During the second quarter of 2007, further investment for the future was made in the Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County, Florida market, with the acquisition of a team of bankers from a successful nonpublic depository institution. This overhead added a total of approximately $260,000 in expenses in the second quarter of 2007. Other lending personnel acquisitions increased salaries and wages by approximately $100,000 more in the second quarter. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company lowered incentive payouts for senior officers and reduced profit sharing compensation by approximately $1.5 million as a result of lower than expected earnings performance; these savings reduced compensation expense by approximately $500,000 in the fourth quarter, and will remain in effect in 2008 until the Company produces meaningful earnings improvements.

The Company engaged a nationally recognized bank consulting firm in 2007 to assist the Company’s board and management with strategic planning and overhead improvement through revenue generation. Consulting fees added approximately $1 million to 2007’s professional fees. Prospectively, additional savings totaling approximately $3.5 million annually is being implemented involving the consolidation of four branch offices, with reductions in staff and a reduction in marketing costs and other professional fees. If successful, we expect the Company’s overhead ratio will be lower in 2008 as a result of these improvements in overhead and expected revenue growth.

For 2007 versus 2006, salaries and wages increased $2,429,000 or 8.3 percent to $31,575,000. Included in the increase year over year were additional salaries of $678,000 for the acquired bank (during the first quarter of 2007), $215,000 in salaries for Brevard County (including the new branch office opened during the first quarter of 2007), and $630,000 in salaries and wages for personnel in Broward County. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 464 at December 31, 2007, compared to 534 at December 31, 2006 and 426 at December 31, 2005. Salaries and wages increased $5,363,000 or 22.5 percent in 2006, compared to prior year. Included in the year-over-year increase for 2006 compared to 2005 was $2,445,000 related to the addition of Big Lake.

Commissions and incentives were $201,000 greater in 2006 versus 2005, including $374,000 for Big Lake. Base salaries increased $5,568,000 or 28.6 percent from 2005 to 2006, with additional salaries of $2,514,000 and $530,000, respectively, for the acquired companies comprising most of the increase compared to 2005.

Employee benefit costs for 2007 increased only $15,000 to $7,337,000 from 2006. During 2007, a decrease of $854,000 in profit sharing compensation (eliminated for 2007) was partially offset by higher health claims experience during the year, resulting in a $739,000 increase in group health insurance costs compared to 2006. In addition, payroll taxes and unemployment compensation costs were $130,000 greater for 2007. For 2006, employee benefits increased $1,009,000 or 16.0 percent compared to 2005. Group health insurance accruals were $818,000 higher in 2006, as were payroll taxes, up $328,000 year over year, reflecting a larger work force after the acquisitions.

Outsourced data processing costs totaled $7,581,000 for 2007, an increase of $138,000 or 1.9 percent from a year ago versus a $966,000 or 14.9 percent increase in 2006. The Company’s subsidiary bank utilizes third parties for its core data processing systems and merchant credit card services processing. Outsourced data processing costs are directly related to the number of transactions processed, which can be expected to increase as the Company’s business volumes grow and new products such as bill pay, internet banking, etc. become more popular.

Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses during 2007, on an aggregate basis, increased $582,000 or 5.8 percent year over year, versus a $2,711,000 or 37.4 percent increase in 2006. Included in results for 2007 were additional costs for the acquired bank of $249,000 for the first quarter of 2007 (versus 2006). Costs related to new locations also impacted 2006. Of the $2,711,000 increase for 2006, $1,067,000 was related to the acquired banks, $483,000 to the new Palm Beach County office opened in May 2006, and $242,000 for lease payments on premises for new branch sites, principally rent for land.

Marketing expenses, including sales promotion costs, ad agency production and printing costs, newspaper and radio advertising, and other public relations costs associated with the Company’s efforts to market products and services, decreased by $1,284,000 or 29.5 percent in 2007, and compared to a $1,165,000 or 36.5 percent increase in 2006 versus 2005. Contributing to the decrease in 2007 was a reduction in donations of $210,000, as well as ad agency costs related to production and printing, newspaper and radio advertising, direct mail campaigns, and public relations totaling $767,000. In addition, sales promotions, market research, and business meals and entertainment were lower by $123,000, $80,000 and $95,000, respectively. Further reductions in marketing costs are anticipated for 2008. For 2006, increases occurred in ad agency costs totaling $588,000, market research regarding the name change and bank integrations added $78,000, donations increased $210,000, public relations an additional $194,000 and business meals $94,000. Marketing costs in 2007 were focused on advertising and promotion spending to attract customers of the Company’s two largest community bank competitors that were acquired and integrated in the first quarter 2007. For 2006, expenditures were primarily focused on the Company’s newer markets, the Palm Beach and Brevard County markets, and the Big Lake region.

Legal and professional fees increased $1,278,000 or 45.8 percent to $4,070,000 for 2007, compared to a $197,000 or 7.6 percent increase in 2006 compared to 2005. Comprising the $1,278,000 increase, $1,078,000 was related to other professional fees, including consulting fees previously mentioned, and $319,000 to legal fees, partially offset by lower examination fees for activities of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) of $60,000 and lower certified public accountant fees of $59,000. Other professional fees were higher due to costs related to third party vendors assisting the Company with its review of processes, operations and costs, as well as strategic planning. During 2006, fees for the Company’s subsidiary bank’s primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, increased $108,000, and fees were incurred with outside parties assisting with the comprehensive review of large credits conducted during the fourth quarter (see “Allowance and Provisioning for Loan Losses”). Prospectively, legal fees may increase as the Company resolves matters pertaining to credit quality (see “Nonperforming Assets”).

The acquisitions in the second quarter of 2006 and 2005 resulted in core deposit intangibles, which at December 31, 2007 totaled $6.6 million. The intangible assets for were assigned estimated lives of 8.7 years

and 5.0 years, respectively. For total year 2007, amortization of intangibles totaled $1,259,000, compared to $1,070,000 for 2006, and $533,000 for 2005.

Remaining noninterest expenses increased $1,031,000 in 2007 or 9.4 percent to $11,986,000 and $2,004,000 in 2006 or 22.4 percent to $10,962,000. Larger increases year over year for 2007 compared to 2006 were costs for postage, courier and delivery (up $147,000 on an aggregate basis), employee placement fees (up $325,000, headhunter fees), bank paid closing costs (up $320,000), subcontractor/broker fees related to marine loan production (up $173,000), and foreclosed and repossessed asset management costs (up $174,000). Increasing year over year for 2006 versus 2005 were costs for postage, courier and delivery (up $257,000 on an aggregate basis), insurance (up $208,000, primarily for property and general liability), stationery, printing and supplies (up $389,000), telephone and data lines (up $479,000), bank paid closing costs (up $142,000), as well as costs related to the name change ($207,000), correspondent clearing charges ($89,000), and travel reimbursement, including mileage, airline and hotel (up $198,000).

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums were reformulated for 2007 and increased as much as $1 million but were more than offset under the FDIC’s new rules by a one-time credit for premiums previously paid that totaled $1,240,000. Any credit not used in 2007 will be applied to reduce up to 90 percent of insurance assessments in future years. The Company anticipates it will have utilized the full benefit of this one-time credit early in 2008, therefore, expense will be higher than 2007.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Fluctuations in rates may result in changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. This risk is managed using simulation modeling to calculate the most likely interest rate risk utilizing estimated loan and deposit growth. The objective is to optimize the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and net interest income while limiting their volatility.

Senior management regularly reviews the overall interest rate risk position and evaluates strategies to manage the risk. The Company has determined that an acceptable level of interest rate risk would be for net interest income to fluctuate no more than 6 percent given a parallel change in interest rates (up or down) of 200 basis points. The Company’s most recent Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) model simulations indicate net interest income would increase 2.9 percent if interest rates gradually rise 200 basis points over the next twelve months and 1.1 percent if interest rates gradually rise 100 basis points The model simulation indicates net interest income would declined by 0.4 percent over the next twelve months given a gradual decline in interest rates of 100 basis points and 1.6 percent if interest rates gradually decline 200 basis points

On December 31, 2007, the Company had a negative gap position based on contractual and prepayment assumptions for the next twelve months, with a negative cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap as a percentage of total earning assets of 20.3 percent (see “Table 19 — Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis”), compared to a negative gap of 23.0 percent a year ago.

The computations of interest rate risk do not necessarily include certain actions management may undertake to manage this risk in response to changes in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, options, caps, floors, futures and forward contracts may be utilized as components of the Company’s risk management profile.

Market Risk

Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, and other relevant market rates or prices.

Interest rate risk, defined as the exposure of net interest income and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) to adverse movements in interest rates, is the Company’s primary market risk, and mainly arises from the structure of the balance sheet (non-trading activities). Seacoast is also exposed to market risk in its investing activities. The ALCO meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The policies

established by ALCO are reviewed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the Board. These limits reflect the Company’s tolerance for interest rate risk over short-term and long-term horizons.

The Company also performs valuation analysis, which is used for discerning levels of risk present in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the net interest income simulation analysis. Whereas net interest income simulation highlights exposures over a relatively short time horizon, valuation analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted value of liability cash flows, the net of which is referred to as EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-term re-pricing risk and options risk embedded in the balance sheet. In contrast to the net interest income simulation, which assumes interest rates will change over a period of time, EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates. EVE values only the current balance sheet, and does not incorporate the growth assumptions that are used in the net interest income simulation model. As with the net interest income simulation model, assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected changes in balances and pricing of the indeterminate life deposit portfolios. Based on our most recent modeling, an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in rates is estimated to decrease the EVE 1.9 percent versus the EVE in a stable rate environment. An instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in rates is estimated to decrease the EVE 5.3 percent versus the EVE in a stable rate environment.

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates is used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under an extremely adverse scenario, a gradual shift in interest rates would have a much more modest impact. Since EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon, i.e., the next fiscal year. Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, change in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liability, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments and unexpected deposit outflows.

In the table that follows, all deposits with indeterminate maturities such as demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts are presented as having a maturity of one year or less.

Funding sources primarily include customer-based core deposits, purchased funds, collateralized borrowings, cash flows from operations, and asset securitizations and sales.

Cash flows from operations are a significant component of liquidity risk management and consider both deposit maturities and the scheduled cash flows from loan and investment maturities and payments. Deposits are a primary source of liquidity. The stability of this funding source is affected by factors, including returns available to customers on alternative investments, the quality of customer service levels and competitive forces.

We purchase funds on an unsecured basis from correspondent banks and routinely use securities and loans as collateral for secured borrowings. In the event of severe market disruptions, we have access to secured borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank.

Contractual maturities for assets and liabilities are reviewed to adequately maintain current and expected future liquidity requirements. Sources of liquidity, both anticipated and unanticipated, are maintained through a portfolio of high quality marketable assets, such as residential mortgage loans, securities available for sale and federal funds sold. The Company has access to federal funds and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) lines of credit and is able to provide short term financing of its activities by selling, under an agreement to repurchase, United States Treasury and Government agency securities not pledged to secure public deposits or trust funds. At December 31, 2007, the Company had available lines of credit of $335 million. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $47 million of United States Treasury and Government agency securities and mortgage backed securities not pledged and available for use under repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2006, the amount of securities available and not pledged was $189 million.

Liquidity, as measured in the form of cash and cash equivalents (including federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits), totaled $98,475,000 at December 31, 2007 as compared to $92,215,000 at December 31, 2006. Over the past twelve months cash and due from banks declined $39,313,000 or 43.8 percent while federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits increased $45,573,000 to $47,985,000. Cash and cash equivalents vary with seasonal deposit movements and are generally higher in the winter than in the summer, and vary with the level of principal repayments and investment activity occurring in the Company’s securities portfolio and loan portfolio.

The Company, on a parent-only basis, depends upon dividends from Seacoast National for funds to pay its obligations on its junior subordinated debentures, its other obligations and dividends to the Company’s shareholders. At December 31, 2007, the Company held cash and short term securities of $1,878 million compared to $4.512 million at year end 2006. Seacoast National is limited in the amount of dividends it can pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval to not more than current year’s earnings plus the prior two years’ earnings, less any previously paid dividends, provided the Bank maintains its capital adequacy. In 2007, Seacoast National paid dividends to the Company of 116% of Seacoast National’s 2007 net income. Additional provisions to Seacoast National’s allowance for loan losses, as well as any other losses or impairments to goodwill, will reduce the amount of dividends available to the parent Company and will reduce parent company liquidity. See “Supervision and Regulation — page 5.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

In the normal course of business, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, under generally accepted accounting principles, either are not recorded on the balance sheet or are recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that differ from the full contract or notional amounts. These transactions involve varying elements of market, credit and liquidity risk.

The two primary off-balance sheet transactions the Company has engaged in are: 1) to manage exposure to interest rate risk (derivatives), and 2) to facilitate customers’ funding needs or risk management objectives (commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit).

Derivative transactions are often measured in terms of a notional amount, but this amount is not recorded on the balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the

instruments. The notional amount is not usually exchanged, but is used only as the basis upon which interest or other payments are calculated.

The derivatives the Company uses to manage exposure to interest rate risk are interest rate swaps. All interest rate swaps are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included either in the results of operations or in other comprehensive income, depending on the nature and purpose of the derivative transaction.

Credit risk of these transactions is managed by establishing a credit limit for each counterparty and through collateral agreements. The fair value of interest rate swaps recorded in the balance sheet at December 31, 2007 included derivative product assets of $30,000. In comparison, at December 31, 2006 derivative product liabilities of $478,000 were outstanding.

Lending commitments include unfunded loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit. A large majority of loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire without being funded, and accordingly, total contractual amounts are not representative of our actual future credit exposure or liquidity requirements. Loan commitments and letters of credit expose us to credit risk in the event that the customer draws on the commitment and subsequently fails to perform under the terms of the lending agreement.

Loan commitments to customers are made in the normal course of our commercial and retail lending businesses. For commercial customers, loan commitments generally take the form of revolving credit arrangements. For retail customers, loan commitments generally are lines of credit secured by residential property. These instruments are not recorded on the balance sheet until funds are advanced under the commitment. For loan commitments, the contractual amount of a commitment represents the maximum potential credit risk that could result if the entire commitment had been funded, the borrower had not performed according to the terms of the contract, and no collateral had been provided. Loan commitments were $351 million at December 31, 2007, and $421 million at December 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for 2007 were 31.1 percent of income before taxes, compared to 35.2 percent for 2006 and 36.0 percent in 2005. A state income tax benefit of $1,173,000 was recorded during 2007 (see “Note L — Income Taxes”). This benefit included $178,000 in enterprise zone tax incentives provided by the State of Florida to promote business activity, specifically in the Big Lake region. In addition, a state income tax credit was recorded during 2007 on the Company’s bank subsidiary, a result of lower earnings performance in conjunction with a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) structure originated in 2003.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $30,439,000 or 1.3 percent to $2,419,874,000 in 2007, after increasing $257,261,000 or 12.1 percent to $2,389,435,000 in 2006.

Capital Resources

Table 8 summarizes the Company’s capital position and selected ratios. The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to period end total assets was 8.86 percent at December 31, 2007, compared with 8.89 percent one year earlier.

During 2005, the Company formed two wholly owned trust subsidiaries, SBCF Capital Trust I and SBCF Statutory Trust II, and during 2007 formed an additional wholly owned trust subsidiary, SBCF Statutory Trust III. The subsidiaries in 2005 each issued $20.0 million (a total of $40.0 million) in trust preferred securities and the 2007 subsidiary issued an additional $12.0 million in trust preferred securities, guaranteed by the Company on a junior subordinated basis. The Company obtained the proceeds from the trust’s sale of trust preferred securities by issuing junior subordinated debentures to the trust. Under revised Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46R) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the trust must be deconsolidated with the Company for accounting purposes. As a result of this accounting pronouncement, the Federal Reserve Board adopted changes to its capital rules with respect to the regulatory capital treatment

afforded to trust preferred securities. The Federal Reserve Board’s rules permit qualified trust preferred securities and other restricted capital elements to be included as Tier 1 capital up to 25% of core capital, net of goodwill and intangibles. The Company believes that its trust preferred securities qualify under these revised regulatory capital rules and expects that it will be able to treat its $52.0 million of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital. For regulatory purposes, the trust preferred securities are added to the Company’s tangible common shareholders’ equity to calculate Tier I capital. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s risk-based capital ratio was 12.17 percent, a slight increase from December 31, 2006’s reported ratio of 11.70 percent.

The Company manages the size of its equity through a program of share repurchases of its outstanding Common stock. At December 31, 2007, a total of 441,000 stock option shares are outstanding, of which 368,000 are exercisable, and 403,000 in stock settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”) are outstanding, none of which are exercisable; during 2007, 178,000 shares were exercised (see “Note J — Employee Benefits”). In treasury stock at December 31, 2007, there were 84,085 shares totaling $1,193,000, compared to 16,032 shares or $310,000 a year ago.

Loan Portfolio

Table 9 shows total loans (net of unearned income) by category outstanding.

Total loans (net of unearned income and excluding the allowance for loan losses) were $1,898,389,000 at December 31, 2007, and grew by $165,278,000 or 9.5 percent compared to December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, total loans of $1,733,111,000 were $443,116,000 or 34.4 percent higher than at December 31, 2005 with $195 million of the increase attributable to an acquisition.

Loan growth in 2007 was largely centered in commercial real estate mortgage loans and commercial development loans offset by declines in residential development and residential construction loans. As shown in Table 9 commercial construction and land development loans increased $102,635,000 to $242,448,000 at year end 2007 and commercial real estate mortgages increased $79,900,000 to $517,332,000. Residential mortgage loans and home equity lines combined, increased by approximately $45,107,000 during 2007 to $557,482,000. Offsetting the increases were declines in residential construction and land development loans of $44,893,000 to $295,082,000 at year end 2007 and residential construction and lot loans to individuals which declined by $19,308,000 to $72,037,000.

Residential mortgage lending is an important segment of the Company’s lending activities. The Company has never originated sub-prime, Alt A, Option ARM or any negative amortizing residential loans. Substantially all residential originations have been underwritten to conventional loan agency standards including loans having balances that exceed agency value limitations. Residential mortgage loans are generally secured with first mortgages on property, with a loan to value not exceeding 80 percent of appraised value on the date of origination. The Company generally sells a substantial portion of its fixed rate residential originations and retains substantially all of its adjustable rate residential originations. As interest rates increased over the past year more adjustable rate loans have been added to the portfolio.

Exposure to market interest rate volatility with respect to mortgage loans is managed by attempting to match maturities and re-pricing opportunities for assets against liabilities and through loan sales. At December 31, 2007, approximately $319 million or 64 percent of the Company’s residential mortgage loan balances were adjustable, compared to $278 million or 60 percent a year ago. Loans secured by residential properties having fixed rates totaled approximately $179 million at December 31, 2007, of which 15- and 30-year mortgages totaled approximately $36 million and $51 million, respectively. The remaining fixed rate balances were comprised of home improvement loans, most with maturities of 10 years or less. Also included in residential mortgage loans is a small home equity line portfolio totaling approximately $59 million at December 31, 2007. In comparison, loans secured by residential properties having fixed rates totaled approximately $184 million at December 31, 2006, with 15- and 30-year fixed rate residential mortgages totaling approximately $38 million and $50 million, respectively.

Second mortgage loans (home equity mortgages) and home equity lines are extended by the Company (see Table 9). Terms of second mortgage loans include fixed rates for up to 10 years on smaller loans of $30,000 or less. Such loans are sometimes made for larger amounts with fixed rates, but balloon payments upon maturity, not exceeding five years. While past due payments have increased modestly for the residential portfolio, they remain lower than national averages. The total of all first and second mortgage residential loans on nonaccrual at year end totaled approximately $2.9 million.

Construction and land development loans, including loans secured by commercial real estate, were comprised of the following types of loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006:

The construction period for commercial real estate generally ranges from 18-24 months. Demand in the Company’s market area over the past few years provided the opportunity for growth in these type loans.

There has been a slowing in residential real estate activity in most of the Company’s markets, resulting in increases of inventory for finished new housing units. Sales prices for both new and existing residential housing have moderated, declining from their market highs. The Company anticipates that the slowing of loan growth evident over the past couple quarters will continue in 2008, in part due to slowing demand but also to repayments of existing construction loans.

Commercial real estate mortgage loans were comprised of the following loan types at December 31, 2007 and 2006:

The Company’s ten largest commercial real estate funded and unfunded loan relationships at December 31, 2007 aggregated to $159.9 million (versus $194.1 million a year ago) and for the top 70 commercial real estate relationships in excess of $5 million the aggregate funded and unfunded totaled $598.8 million (compared to 67 relationships aggregating to $722.8 million a year ago).

Overall loan growth is expected to be flat in the year ahead due in part to the dramatic slowing of residential real estate sales activity. Over the past year the Company has placed increased emphasis on non-residential mortgage loan growth within its market footprint. The Company’s expansion into new markets over the past few years has broadened its geographic focus into more metropolitan areas with a focus on selectively acquiring market share.

Broward County, our newest market in 2007 has loans outstanding of $65.3 million at December 31, 2007, and a pipeline of $93 million. The addition of loan officers in Orange and Seminole County (the Orlando area), another vibrant Florida market, provides the Company with a loan base of $168.0 million at December 31, 2007, and a pipeline of loans totaling $39 million, compared to $136.3 million at December 31, 2006, and a pipeline of $11 million. At December 31, 2007, $345.8 million in loans are outstanding in Palm Beach County with a pipeline of approximately $49 million pending at year-end 2007. In comparison, $355.8 million in loans were outstanding with a loan pipeline of approximately $51 million pending at year-end 2006. Finally, in Brevard County, entered into in mid-2004 with the opening of a loan production office, $38.1 million in loans are outstanding at year-end 2007, with a pipeline of $56 million pending. In comparison, $60.3 million in loans were outstanding with a loan pipeline of approximately $22 million pending at year-end 2006. A second full-service branch office will be opening in Brevard County late in the first quarter of 2008, providing a greater presence in this new market.

Commercial business lending activities are directed principally towards businesses whose demand for funds are within the Company’s lending limits, such as small to medium sized professional firms, retail and wholesale outlets, and light industrial and manufacturing concerns. Such businesses typically are smaller, often have short operating histories and do not have the sophisticated record keeping systems of larger entities. Such loans are subject to the risks inherent to lending to small to medium sized businesses including the effects of a

sluggish local economy, possible business failure, and insufficient cash flows. The Company’s commercial loan portfolio totaled $126,695,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $128,101,000 at December 31, 2006.

The Company was also a creditor for consumer loans to individual customers (including installment loans, loans for automobiles, boats, and other personal, family and household purposes, and indirect loans through dealers to finance automobiles) totaling $86,362,000 at December 31, 2007 (versus $83,428,000 a year ago), real estate construction loans secured by residential properties totaling $32,718,000 (versus $50,422,000 a year ago) and residential lot loans totaling $39,319,000 (versus $40,923,000 a year ago). Most consumer loans are secured and net charge offs have been lower than peers. Past due loans have not increased significantly in 2007 and consumer loans on nonaccrual totaled $621,000 at year end.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had commitments to make loans of $351,053,000, compared to $420,968,000 at December 31, 2006 (see “Note P — Contingent Liabilities and Commitments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk”).

Deposits and Borrowings

Total deposits increased $96,315,000 or 5.1 percent to $1,987,333,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to one year earlier, reflecting the strength of the Company’s core deposit franchise. Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) increased $33,893,000 or 5.9 percent to $603,662,000 over the past twelve months, lower cost interest bearing deposits (NOW, savings and money markets deposits) increased $126,581,000 or 13.6 percent to $1,056,025,000, and noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $64,159,000 or 16.4 percent to $327,646,000. Deposits increased significantly during the fourth quarter of 2007, increasing $131.6 million or 7.1 percent, a result of normal seasonal deposit increases and higher average public fund deposit balances due to credit concerns relating to state run investment fund. It is believed that a portion of the increased public fund deposits may ultimately be placed in investments other than bank deposits.

In comparison to 2005, total deposits increased $106,799,000 or 6.0 percent to $1,891,018,000 at December 31, 2006. Of this increase in deposits, $237 million was related to deposits from an acquisition. During 2006, certificates of deposit increased $140,577,000 or 32.8 percent to $569,769,000, lower cost interest bearing deposits (NOW, savings and money markets deposits) increased $47,413,000 or 5.4 percent to $929,444,000, and noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $81,191,000 or 17.2 percent to $391,805,000

During the third and fourth quarters of 2006 the slowdown in Florida housing activity resulted in deposits declining $137,587,000. Deposit mix was unfavorably affected as well, with noninterest bearing deposits declining $96.7 million from June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006. With higher interest rates, disintermediation between lower cost (no cost) products and certificates of deposit occurred. Local competitors with higher loan to deposit ratios aggressively increased rates for certificates of deposit throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2006 and into 2007, purposefully maintaining necessary funding for their institutions. During 2007 and 2006, Seacoast chose to be more cautious with regards to the pricing of its certificates of deposit.

The Company’s expects it will continue to be successful generating deposits by marketing desirable products, in particular its array of money market and NOW product offerings. The Company’s entrance into new markets, including Broward and Palm Beach Counties, the Orlando market, and central Florida provide an opportunity to enhance overall deposit growth, including lower cost interest bearing deposits.

Securities sold under repurchases agreement decreased over the past twelve months by $54,376,000 or 38.2 percent to $88,100,000 at December 31, 2007. In comparison, repurchase agreements increased $45,690,000 or 47.2 percent to $142,476,000 during 2006. Repurchase agreements are offered by the Company’s subsidiary bank to select customers who wish to sweep excess balances on a daily basis for investment purposes. The number of sweep repurchase accounts increased from 202 a year ago to 249 at December 31, 2007, but balances maintained were lower, impacted by lower public fund amounts versus prior year.

Federal funds purchased outstanding at December 31, 2006 totaled $64 million, versus no federal funds purchased outstanding at December 31, 2007. The Company utilizes federal funds during periods of temporary

gaps between loan funding/repayments and deposit growth. As previously noted, deposits were lower at the end of 2006, requiring the use of federal funds purchased as a temporary replacement.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money, over time, due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the general level of inflation. However, inflation affects financial institutions’ increased cost of goods and services purchased the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Mortgage originations and re-financings tend to slow as interest rates increase, and likely will reduce the Company’s earnings from such activities and the income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Securities

Information related to yields, maturities, carrying values and unrealized gains (losses) of the Company’s securities is set forth in Tables 15-18.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $13,913,000 in trading securities (representing 4.6 percent of total securities), $254,916,000 in securities available for sale (or 84.8 percent of total securities) and securities held for investment carried at $31,900,000 (10.6 percent of total securities). The Company’s securities portfolio decreased $143,212,000 or 32.3 percent from December 31, 2006. Maturities of securities of $77.7 million, sales of $253.8 million, and purchases totaling $219.0 million were transacted during 2007.

At December 31, 2006, the Company’s total securities portfolio decreased $99,083,000 or 18.2 percent year over year from 2005. Maturities of securities of $151.1 million, sales of $112.4 million and purchases totaling $92.6 million were transacted during 2006. Most of the sales activity during 2006 was related to securities acquired from Big Lake, with adjustments to fair value as a result of purchase accounting allowing the Company to reposition the securities.

Federal funds sold totaled $47,985,000 at December 31, 2007, versus $2,412,000 at December 31, 2006. Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits were lower at year-end 2006, in part due to lower deposit balances related to a slowing in the residential real estate market in late 2006 and funding of loan growth during 2006.

Management exercises control over the Company’s interest rate risk by targeting an average duration for the securities portfolio through the acquisition of securities returning principal monthly that can be reinvested. The estimated average life of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2007 was 5.0 years, higher than a year ago when the average life was 2.7 years. With more adjustable prime based loans in its loan portfolio and the increased prospects for lower interest rates, the Company chose to lengthen the duration of its securities portfolio during 2007.

At December 31, 2007, available for sale securities totaling $254,916,000 had gross losses of $995,000 and gross gains of $1,495,000, compared to gross losses of $3,722,000 and gross gains of $243,000 at December 31, 2006. The Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities with losses until fair value is recovered. Consensus market perception is that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rate further prospectively, which is likely to result in an improving fair value for the portfolio.

Company management considers the overall quality of the securities portfolio to be high. No securities are held which are not traded in liquid markets.

Fourth Quarter Review

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company’s earnings continued to be impacted by the slowdown in the Florida real estate market with growth in nonperforming assets and an elevated provision for loan losses. Fourth quarter net income was $1.9 million or $0.10 diluted earnings per share, compared to $285,000 or $0.01 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2007 and $5.7 million or $0.30 diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2006. Returns on average assets and equity were 0.32 percent and 3.48 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 0.05 percent and 0.51 percent in the third quarter of 2007, and 0.95 percent and 10.57 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007 were impacted by a higher provisioning for loan losses. During the quarter, the Company’s nonperforming assets increased $22.7 million to $68.6 million or 3.61 percent of loans and other real estate owned (OREO). Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter totaled $4.5 million, compared to $5.8 million for the total year 2007. The provision in the fourth quarter totaled $3,813,000, compared to $2,250,000 a year ago and $8,375,000 in the third quarter of 2007. The majority of nonperforming assets are nonaccrual loans for land and acquisition and development related to the residential market.

Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $20,724,000, $423,000 or 2.0 percent lower than for the third quarter of 2007 and $1,122,000 or 5.1 percent lower than a year ago for the same quarter. The net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 3.71 percent, a decrease from the 3.95 percent achieved in last year’s fourth quarter and a 23 basis point decrease from the 3.94 percent for the third quarter of 2007. The decline in net interest margin resulted from higher average nonaccrual loan balances and the repricing of prime based loans as a result of lower interest rates. Competition for deposits during the fourth quarter of 2007 did not allow for the full benefit to be realized from the Federal Reserve reducing rates 100 basis points beginning in September 2007. Deposit costs were lower in the fourth quarter and totaled 2.93 percent compared to 3.01 percent for the third quarter of 2007. The total cost of interest bearing liabilities declined 17 basis points to 3.71 percent in the fourth quarter from the third quarter of 2007 and compared to 3.52 percent in the fourth quarter a year ago. Net interest income will continue to be impacted by increased nonaccrual loans and OREO which may continue to grow through the first half of 2008.

In the fourth quarter of 2007 loan growth slowed with a modest growth of $5.3 million from the third quarter of 2007. The impact of a slower housing market is likely to impact the Company’s loan pipelines prospectively and it is believed slower loan growth will result for 2008. Deposit growth during the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled $131.6 million, resulting from normal seasonal deposit increases and higher average public fund deposit balances. A portion of the public funds may migrate to investments other than deposits prospectively.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses and the gain on sale of a partnership interest (a fourth quarter 2006 event), increased 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 when compared to the same quarter a year ago. Increased revenue from service charges on deposits of $195,000, merchant income of $52,000, and marine finance fees of $26,000, were partially offset by decreased wealth management fees of $53,000, as well as decreased mortgage banking revenue of $59,000. Mortgage loan volumes are more challenging to obtain and more production with adjustable rates is being retained in the loan portfolio.

Noninterest expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled $19.8 million, in line with guidance provided at the end of the third quarter of 2007 after excluding one-time costs of $275,000 for VISA litigation and settlement costs and costs associated with increased problem credits. Noninterest expenses for the quarter were $500,000 lower as a result of the elimination of executive bonus compensation, lower incentive payouts for senior officers and reduced profit sharing compensation for 2007. A reduction of $1.5 million was recognized in the third quarter of 2007 for year to date accruals regarding these same expenses. The effect of these reductions in compensation will remain in place prospectively until the Company produces meaningful earnings improvements. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $1,619,000 or 8.9 percent higher than fourth quarter a year ago and noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $2,435,000 or 15.4 percent greater than for the fourth quarter of 2005. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006

included added spending related to re-branding the subsidiary bank and costs associated with attracting customers of acquired local competitors totaling approximately $314,000. Overhead is targeted to increase more modestly in 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida:

We have audited Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and subsidiaries’ (the Company’s) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated March 14, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, as of January 1, 2007. As discussed in Note J to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 14, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A	Significant Accounting Policies

General: Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (“Seacoast”) is a single segment bank holding company with one operating subsidiary bank, Seacoast National Bank (together the “Company”). The bank’s service area includes Okeechobee, Highlands, Hendry, Hardee, Glades, DeSoto, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Brevard, Indian River, Broward, Orange and Seminole counties, which are located in central and southeast Florida. The bank operates full service branches within its markets.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Seacoast and all its majority-owned subsidiaries but exclude three trusts created for the issuance of trust preferred securities. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and they conform to general practices within the applicable industries.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less, and accordingly, the carrying amount of these instruments is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Purchased and Sold Agreements: Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. It is the Company’s policy to take possession of securities purchased under resale agreements, which are primarily U.S. Government and Government agency securities. The fair value of securities purchased and sold is monitored and collateral is obtained from or returned to the counterparty when appropriate.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and contingent liabilities. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of management’s estimates include determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of investment securities available for sale and for trading, contingent liabilities and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities: Securities are classified at date of purchase as trading, available for sale or held to maturity. Securities that may be sold as part of the Company’s asset/liability management or in response to, or in anticipation of changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk, or for other factors are stated at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity net of tax or included in noninterest income as appropriate. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on market quotations when available or, if not available, by using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available. Debt securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.

Realized gains and losses, including other than temporary impairments, are included in noninterest income as investment securities gains (losses). Interest and dividends on securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recognized in interest income on an accrual basis using the interest method. The Company anticipates prepayments of principal in the calculation of the effective yield for collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities by obtaining estimates of prepayments from independent third parties. The adjusted cost of each specific security sold is used to compute realized gains or losses on the sale of securities on a trade date basis.

On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. Management considers many factors including the length of time the security has had a fair value less than the cost

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

basis; our intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for debt securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than temporary are written down to fair value with the write-down recorded as a realized loss.

For securities which are transferred into held to maturity from available for sale the unrealized gain or loss at the date of transfer is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity and is amortized over the remaining life as an adjustment of yield using the interest method.

Loans: Loans are recognized at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and amounts charged off. Unearned income includes discounts, premiums and deferred loan origination fees reduced by loan origination costs. Unearned income on loans is amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan using the effective interest rate method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

Fees received for providing loan commitments and letters of credit that may result in loans are typically deferred and amortized to interest income over the life of the related loan, beginning with the initial borrowing. Fees on commitments and letters of credit are amortized to noninterest income as banking fees and commissions on a straight-line basis over the commitment period when funding is not expected.

A loan is considered to be impaired when based on current information, it is probable the Company will not receive all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan agreement. The fair value is measured based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring. When the ultimate collectibility of the principal balance of an impaired loan is in doubt, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent any interest has been forgone, and then they are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on loans and leases, except consumer loans, that become 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless collection of both principal and interest is assured by way of collateralization, guarantees or other security. Generally, loans past due 90 days or more are placed on nonaccrual status regardless of security. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income on the current year is reversed. Consumer loans that become 120 days past due are generally charged off. When borrowers demonstrate over an extended period the ability to repay a loan in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan classified as nonaccrual, the loan is returned to accrual status.

Derivatives Used for Risk Management: The Company may designate a derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized fixed rate asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of future cash flows of a floating rate asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge). All derivatives are recorded as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet at their respective fair values with unrealized gains and losses recorded either in other comprehensive income or in the results of operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in the results of operations.

To the extent of the effectiveness of a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income. The net periodic interest settlement on derivatives is treated as an adjustment to the interest income or interest expense of the hedged assets or liabilities.

At inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This process includes identification of the

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

hedging instrument, hedged item, risk being hedged and the methodology for measuring ineffectiveness. In addition, the Company assesses both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing quarterly basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, and whether the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when either it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted as an adjustment to yield over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transaction are still expected to occur, unrealized gains and losses that are accumulated in other comprehensive income are included in the results of operations in the same period when the results of operations are also affected by the hedged cash flow. They are recognized in the results of operations immediately if the cash flow hedge was discontinued because a forecasted transaction is not expected to occur.

Certain commitments to sell loans are derivatives. These commitments are recorded as a freestanding derivative and classified as an other asset or liability.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans are classified as held for sale based on management’s intent to sell the loans, either as part of a core business strategy or related to a risk mitigation strategy. Loans held for sale and any related unfunded lending commitments are recorded at the lower of cost (which is the carrying amount net of deferred fees and costs and applicable allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments) or fair value less costs to sell. At the time of the transfer to loans held for sale, if the fair value is less than cost, the difference is recorded as additional provision for credit losses in the results of operations. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices for the same or similar loans, outstanding investor commitments or discounted cash flow analyses using market assumptions.

At December 31, 2007 fair value for substantially all the loans in loans held for sale were obtained by reference to prices for the same or similar loans from recent transactions. For a relationship that includes an unfunded lending commitment, the cost basis is the outstanding balance of the loan net of the allowance for loan losses and net of any reserve for unfunded lending commitments. This cost basis is compared to the fair value of the entire relationship including the unfunded lending commitment.

Individual loans or pools of loans are transferred from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale when the intent to hold the loans has changed and there is a plan to sell the loans within a reasonable period of time. Loans held for sale are reviewed quarterly. Subsequent declines or recoveries of previous declines in the fair value of loans held for sale are recorded in other fee income in the results of operations. Fair value changes occur due to changes in interest rates, the borrower’s credit, the secondary loan market and the market for a borrower’s debt. If an unfunded lending commitment expires before a sale occurs, the reserve associated with the unfunded lending commitment is recognized as a credit to other fee income in the results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157): The Company measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities that are elected to be accounted for under SFAS No. 159 as well as for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Examples of these include derivative instruments, available for sale and trading securities, loans held for sale and long-term debt. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Examples of these non-recurring uses of fair value include certain loans held for sale accounted for on a lower of cost or fair value, mortgage servicing rights, goodwill, and long-lived assets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, the Company uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value, which are in accordance with SFAS No. 157.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Company applied the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Assets or liabilities for which the identical item is traded on an active exchange, such as publicly-traded instruments or futures contracts.

Level 2 — Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.

Level 3 — Assets and liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at and/or marked to fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and the Company must use alternative valuation techniques to derive a fair value measurement.

Fair Value Option (SFAS 159): In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 157, the Company early-adopted SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159), as of January 1, 2007. SFAS 159 provides an option for most financial assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of a financial asset, financial liability, or a firm commitment and it may not be revoked. Under the SFAS 159 transition provisions, the Company has elected to report certain financial instruments and other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with future changes in value reported in earnings. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that was caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use an accounting method other than fair value, while the related economic hedges were reported at fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of real estate acquired in lieu of unpaid loan balances. These assets are carried at an amount equal to the loan balance prior to foreclosure plus costs incurred for improvements to the property, but no more than the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs. Any valuation adjustments required at the date of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, unrealized losses and realized gains and losses are included in other noninterest income. Operating results from OREO are recorded in other noninterest expense.

Bank Premises and Equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment include certain costs associated with the acquisition of leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are recognized principally by the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives as follows: buildings — 25-40 years, leasehold improvements — 5-25 years, furniture and equipment — 3-12 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization. Rather they are subject to impairment tests at least annually, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. The Company’s goodwill evaluation for the year ended December 31, 2007, indicated that none of the goodwill was impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives continue to be amortized over the period the Company expects to benefit from such assets and are periodically reviewed to determine whether there have been any events or circumstances to indicate the recorded amount is

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

not recoverable from projected undiscounted net operating cash flows. A loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value, where appropriate.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and collectibility is assured. Brokerage fees and commissions are recognized on a trade date basis. Asset management fees, measured by assets at a particular date, are accrued as earned. Commission expenses are recorded when the related revenue is recognized.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments: The Company has developed policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments that reflect the evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration of all available information. Where appropriate this assessment includes monitoring qualitative and quantitative trends including changes in levels of past due, criticized and nonperforming loans. In developing this assessment, the Company must necessarily rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may result in an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments is maintained at a level the Company believes is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The Company employs a variety of modeling and estimation tools in developing the appropriate allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments consists of formula-based components for both commercial and consumer loans, allowance for impaired commercial loans and allowance related to additional factors that are believed indicative of current trends and business cycle issues.

The Company monitors qualitative and quantitative trends in the loan portfolio, including changes in the levels of past due, criticized and nonperforming loans. The distribution of the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments between the various components does not diminish the fact that the entire allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments is available to absorb credit losses in the loan portfolio. The principal focus is, therefore, on the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s bank subsidiary’s allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments. These agencies may require such subsidiaries to recognize changes to the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Income Taxes: Seacoast uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their related tax bases and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are in effect. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in rates is recognized as income or expense in the period in which the change occurs. See Note L, income taxes for related disclosures.

Net Income per Share: Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock (Basic) and equivalents (Diluted) outstanding during the respective years.

Stock-Based Compensation: The three stock option plans are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 123R and the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

option-pricing model with market assumptions. This amount is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, generally five years. (See Note J)

For restricted stock awards, which generally vest based on continued service with the Company, the deferred compensation is measured as the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and the deferred compensation is amortized as salaries and employee benefits expense in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, generally straight-line over five years. Some shares vest based upon the Company achieving certain performance goals and salary amortization expense is based on an estimate of the most likely results on a straight line basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN 39-1, “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39.” FSP FIN 39-1 permits companies to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement that have been offset in accordance with FIN 39. Under the provisions of this pronouncement, a company shall make an accounting policy decision whether or not to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. A company’s decision whether to offset or not must be applied consistently. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted FSP FIN 39-1 effective January 1, 2008 and currently has elected not to offset fair value amounts related to collateral arrangements recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements; therefore, the adoption did not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In November 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 109. SAB 109 revises the view expressed in SAB No. 105 and states that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB No. 109 expands to all loan commitments, the view that internally-developed intangible assets, such as customer relationship intangible assets, should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment. SAB No. 109 is effective on a prospective basis for loan servicing activities related to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company began including the value associated with the servicing of loans in the measurement of all written loan commitments issued after that date that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”, which revises SFAS No. 141 and changes multiple aspects of the accounting for business combinations. Under the guidance in SFAS No. 141R, the acquisition method must be used, which requires the acquirer to recognize most identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at their full fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill is to be recognized as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of the noncontrolling interest over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a liability are to be recognized in earnings, while contingent consideration classified as equity is not to be remeasured. Costs such as transaction costs are to be excluded from acquisition accounting, generally leading to recognizing expense and additionally, restructuring costs that do not meet certain criteria at acquisition date are to be subsequently recognized as post-acquisition costs. SFAS No. 141R is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this issuance will have on its financial position and results of operations; however, it anticipates that the standard will lead to more volatility in the results of operations during the periods subsequent to an acquisition.

Note B Securities Trading

Trading securities purchased during 2007 consisted of US Treasury bills, notes and US Government Agency notes and were primarily used for customer repurchase agreements and pledging requirements. At December 31, 2007, the trading portfolio consisted of $13.9 million in US Treasury notes with maturities of less than five months.

Note C Cash, Dividend and Loan Restrictions

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary bank enter into agreements, or are subject to regulatory agreements that result in cash, debt and dividend restrictions. A summary of the most restrictive items follows:

The Company’s subsidiary bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances was approximately $12,350,000 for 2007 and $20,340,000 for 2006.

Under Federal Reserve regulation, the Company’s subsidiary bank is limited as to the amount it may loan to their affiliates, including the Company, unless such loans are collateralized by specified obligations. At December 31, 2007, the maximum amount available for transfer from the subsidiary bank to the Company in the form of loans approximated 24 percent of consolidated net assets.

The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the bank’s profits, as defined, for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years. Under this restriction the Company’s subsidiary bank can distribute $24,572,000 as dividends to the Company as of December 31, 2007, without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

During the first quarter of 2007, due to the ongoing inverted yield curve and other economic challenges, the Company determined it was in the best interest of shareholders to restructure its balance sheet by selling low yielding securities and paying off overnight borrowings. At the date that the lower yielding securities were sold, the Company had concluded that they would elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for these securities and therefore considered them to be trading securities. This conclusion was based on the Company’s understanding and interpretation of SFAS No. 159 at that time and followed a thoughtful evaluation and extensive discussion by management, the audit committee, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Following the sales of these securities, additional interpretations of the requirements for early adoption of SFAS No. 159 were discussed publicly. These discussions included general comments made by the Securities and Exchange Commission and guidance from the Center for Audit Quality. After considering these interpretations and further analysis by the accounting industry, the Company concluded that it should not have elected the fair value option for these securities. Accordingly, the Company presented these securities as available for sale and held for investment and recorded other-than-temporary impairment of $5.1 million in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale during 2006 were $112,420,000 with gross gains of $32,000 and gross losses of $189,000. During 2005, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $50,974,000 with gross gains of $3,000 and no gross losses.

Securities with a carrying value of $242,325,000 and a fair value of $242,312,000 at December 31, 2007, were pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, United States Treasury deposits, other public deposits and trust deposits.

All of the Company’s securities which had unrealized losses at December 31, 2007 were obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies or AAA rated mortgage related securities. Management expects that all principal will be repaid at a par value at the date of maturity. The fair values of the Company’s securities are based on discounted cash flow models which utilize assumed lives and yields which will vary over economic cycles producing both unrealized losses and gains. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these temporarily impaired securities until fair value is recovered.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The unrealized losses in the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agencies and mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The impaired loans were measured for impairment based primarily on the value of underlying collateral.

Interest payments received on impaired loans are recorded as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded investment is doubtful at which time payments received are recorded as reductions to principal. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not record any interest income on impaired loans.

In 2007, and 2006 impaired loans with valuation allowances totaled approximately $30.2 million and $8 million, respectively.

	2007			2006			2005
	(In thousands)

Maximum amount outstanding at any month end	$	220,940		$	206,476		$	107,073

Weighted average interest rate		4.48	%		4.30	%		2.60	%

On July 31, 1998, the Company obtained $15,000,000 in other borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), principal payable on November 12, 2009 with interest payable quarterly at a fixed rate of 6.10 percent. During 2007, the Company obtained advances of $25,000,000 each on September 25, 2007 and November 27, 2007, increasing total borrowings from the FHLB to $65,000,000 at December 31, 2007. The new advances mature in ten years on September 15, 2017 and November 27, 2017, respectively, and have fixed rates of 3.64 percent and 2.70 percent at December 31, 2007, respectively, payable quarterly; the FHLB has a perpetual three-month option to convert the interest rate on either advance to an adjustable rate and the Company has the option to prepay the advance should the FHLB convert the interest rate.

The Company’s subsidiary bank has unused lines of credit of $334,640,000 at December 31, 2007.

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

At December 31, 2006, there was no balance outstanding on the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit of $8,000,000. On February 2, 2006, the Company entered into an unsecured 3-year term loan totaling $12,000,000. Both the line and the 3-year term loan have a floating rate that resets quarterly based on LIBOR plus 130 basis points and have certain financial covenants that must be maintained by the Company. The $12,000,000 term loan was repaid on June 29, 2007 with the proceeds from a subordinated debt offering.

The Company issued $20,619,000 in junior subordinated debentures on March 31 and December 16, 2005, an aggregate of $41,238,000. These debentures were issued in conjunction with the formation of a Delaware and Connecticut trust subsidiary, SBCF Capital Trust I, and II (“Trusts I and II”) which each completed a private sale of $20.0 million of floating rate preferred securities. On June 29, 2007, the Company issued an additional $12,372,000 in junior subordinated debentures which was issued in conjunction with the formation of a Delaware trust subsidiary, SBCF Statutory Trust III (“Trust III”), which completed a private sale of $12,000,000 million of floating rate trust preferred securities. The rates on the trust preferred securities are the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 175 basis points, the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 133 basis points, and the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 135 basis points, respectively. The rates, which adjust every three months, are currently 6.58 percent, 6.32 percent, and 6.34 percent, respectively, per annum. The trust preferred securities mature in thirty years, and may be redeemed without penalty on or after June 10, 2010, March 15, 2011, and September 15, 2012, respectively, upon approval of the Federal Reserve Board or upon occurrence of certain events affecting their tax or regulatory capital treatment. Distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year. The Trusts also issued $619,000, $619,000 and $372,000, respectively, of common equity securities to the Company. The proceeds of the offering of trust preferred securities and common equity securities were used by Trusts I and II to purchase the $41.2 million junior subordinated deferrable interest notes issued by the Company, and by Trust III to purchase the $12.4 million junior subordinated deferrable interest notes issued by the Company, all of which have terms substantially similar to the trust preferred securities.

The Company has the right to defer payments of interest on the notes at any time or from time to time for a period of up to twenty consecutive quarterly interest payment periods. Under the terms of the notes, in the event that under certain circumstances there is an event of default under the notes or the Company has elected to defer interest on the notes, the Company may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its capital stock or purchase or acquire any of its capital stock. The Company is current on the interest payment obligations and has not executed the right to defer interest payments on the notes.

The Company has entered into agreements to guarantee the payments of distributions on the trust preferred securities and payments of redemption of the trust preferred securities. Under these agreements, the Company also agrees, on a subordinated basis, to pay expenses and liabilities of the Trusts other than those arising under the trust preferred securities. The obligations of the Company under the junior subordinated notes, the trust agreement establishing the Trusts, the guarantees and agreements as to expenses and liabilities, in aggregate, constitute a full and conditional guarantee by the Company of the Trusts’ obligations under the trust preferred securities.

Despite the fact that the accounts of the Trusts are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the $52.0 million in trust preferred securities issued by the Trusts are included in the Tier 1 capital of the Company as allowed by Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

Note J Employee Benefits and Stock Compensation

The Company’s profit sharing plan which covers substantially all employees after one year of service includes a matching benefit feature for employees electing to defer the elective portion of their profit sharing compensation. In addition, amounts of compensation contributed by employees are matched on a percentage

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

basis under the plan. The profit sharing contributions charged to operations were $1,187,000 in 2007, $2,041,000 in 2006, and $2,196,000 in 2005.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006 using the modified retrospective application method. Therefore, the beginning balances of additional paid-in capital and retained earnings were adjusted to reflect the adoption. The adjustments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, the results of operations or liquidity.

The Company’s stock option and stock appreciation rights plans were approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 25, 1991, April 25, 1996, and April 20, 2000. The number of shares of common stock that may be granted pursuant to the 1991 and 1996 plans shall not exceed 990,000 shares for each plan and pursuant to the 2000 plan shall not exceed 1,320,000 shares. The Company has granted options and stock appreciation rights on 826,000, 933,000 and 791,000 shares for the 1991, 1996 and 2000 plans, respectively, through December 31, 2007. Under the 2000 plan the Company granted stock settled appreciation rights (“SSARs”) of 306,000 shares at a weighted average fair value of $4.21 per share and issued 58,000 shares of restricted stock awards at $22.14 per share during 2007, granted options on 116,000 shares at a weighted average fair value of $5.71 per share and issued 21,000 shares of restricted stock awards at $26.72 per share during 2006, and granted options on 56,000 shares at a weighted average fair value of $3.35 per share and issued 28,000 shares of restricted stock awards at $19.45 per share during 2005. Under the plans, the option or SSARs exercise price equals the common stock’s market price on the date of the grant. All options issued prior to December 31, 2002 have a vesting period of four years and a contractual life of ten years. All options or SSARs issued after that have a vesting period of five years and a contractual life of ten years. To the extent the Company has treasury shares available, stock options exercised or stock grants awarded may be issued from treasury shares or, if treasury shares are insufficient, the Company can issue new shares. The Company has a single share repurchase program in place, approved on September 18, 2001, authorizing the repurchase of up to 825,000 shares; the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this program is 162,000.

Stock option fair value is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including expected price volatility, which when changed can materially affect fair value estimates. Accordingly, the model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options or SSARs. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options and SSARs include risk-free interest rates of 4.50 percent in 2007, 5.10 percent to 5.18 percent in 2006, and 3.90 percent to 4.50 percent in 2005; dividend yield of 2.72 percent in 2007, 2.19 percent to 2.25 percent in 2006 and 2.36 percent in 2005; weighted average expected lives of the stock options of 5 years and 7 years in 2007 and 2006, and 7 years in 2005; and volatility of the Company’s common stock of 19 percent in 2007 and 18 percent in 2006 and 2005. Additionally, the estimated fair value of stock options and SSARs is reduced, as applicable, by an estimate of forfeiture experience of 10 percent in 2007, 22 percent for 2006, and 13 percent for 2005.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2006, and 2005 was $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

On approximately one-half of the restricted stock awards the restriction expiration is dependent upon the Company achieving minimum earnings per share growth during a five-year vesting period.

In 2007, 2006 and 2005 the Company recognized $735,000 ($452,000 after tax), $1,046,000 ($742,000 after tax) and $965,000 (658,000 after tax), respectively of non-cash compensation expense.

No cash was utilized to settle equity instruments granted under restricted stock awards. No compensation cost has been capitalized and no significant modifications have occurred with regard to the contractual terms for stock options, SSARs or restricted stock awards.

Net deferred tax assets	$	7,475		$	4,464

The realization of deferred income tax assets may be based on the utilization of carrybacks to prior tax periods, the anticipation of future taxable income in certain periods and the utilization of tax planning strategies. The Company has determined it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets can be supported by carrybacks to federal taxable income in the two-year federal carryback period and by expected future taxable income that will exceed amounts necessary to fully realize remaining deferred income tax assets resulting from the scheduling of temporary differences. The Company’s taxable income for the last two years exceeded $64 million, an amount in excess of the net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2007 the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9.9 million available to offset future Florida taxable income through 2027. The Company expects to fully utilize the net operating losses before they expire.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48) which clarifies the criteria for recognizing tax benefits under FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The Company adopted the interpretation in the first quarter 2007 with no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related, as appropriate, as part of the provisioning for income taxes. Interest of $13,000 was accrued during 2007 and is outstanding at December 31, 2007. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examined the federal income tax return for the year 2003. The IRS did not propose any material adjustments related to this examination. The following are the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the earliest tax year subject to examination:

prospectively and the benefit recorded should unambiguous interpretation of law and regulation, a review by the taxing authority, or relevant circumstances, including expiration of the statute of limitation, deem recognition of the benefit.

Income taxes or (benefit) related to securities transactions were $(1,795,000), $(60,000) and $49,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Of the amount recorded for 2007, a tax benefit of $(1,822,000) was recorded for losses related to the securities portfolio restructuring during the first quarter. The Company sold approximately $225 million in low yielding securities and recorded other-than-temporary impairment of $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2007.

		N/A — Not Applicable

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective

SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The Company is well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth above. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s deposit-taking bank subsidiary met the capital and leverage ratio requirements for well capitalized banks.

Note P Contingent Liabilities and Commitments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries, because of the nature of their business, are at all times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed. Management presently believes that none of the legal proceedings to which it is a party are likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, or operating results or cash flows, although no assurance can be given with respect to the ultimate outcome of any such claim or litigation.

The Company’s subsidiary bank is party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

The subsidiary bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The subsidiary bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and standby letters of credit as they do for on balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The subsidiary bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and commercial and residential real estate. Of the $351,053,000 in commitments to extend credit outstanding at December 31, 2007, $97,223,000 is secured by 1-4 family residential properties for individuals with approximately $19,650,000 at fixed interest rates ranging from 5.12% to 7.87%.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the subsidiary bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments have fixed termination dates and most end without being drawn; therefore, they do not represent a significant liquidity risk. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The subsidiary bank holds collateral supporting these commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The extent of collateral held for secured standby letters of credit at December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $10,704,000 and $9,016,000 respectively.

Fair Value Instruments Measured at Fair Value

As discussed in Note A, “Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company early adopted the fair value financial accounting standards SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2007. In certain circumstances, fair value enables a company to more accurately align its financial performance with the market value of actively traded or hedged assets and liabilities. Fair values enable a company to mitigate the non-economic earnings volatility caused from financial assets and financial liabilities being carried at different bases of accounting, as well as to more accurately portray the active and dynamic

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value at December 31:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount was used as a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities: The fair value of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency, mutual fund and mortgage backed securities are based on market quotations when available or by using a discounted cash flow approach.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The fair value of many state and municipal securities are not readily available through market sources, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market price or prices of similar instruments.

Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, mortgage, etc. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

The fair value of loans, except residential mortgages, is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusting for prepayment assumptions using discount rates based on secondary market sources.

Loans Held for Sale: Fair values are based upon estimated values to be received from independent third party purchasers.

Deposit Liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings: The fair value of floating rate borrowings is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed rate borrowings is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated Debt: The fair value of the floating rate subordinated debt is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Derivative Product Assets and Liabilities: Quoted market prices or valuation models that incorporate current market data inputs are used to estimate the fair value of derivative product assets and liabilities.

Note S	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share were determined by including assumptions of stock option conversions.

In 2007, 2006, and 2005 options to purchase 669,000, 116,000 and none, respectively were antidilutive and accordingly, were excluded in determining diluted earnings per share.
