TIB Financial Corp.
Unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands except for share and per share amounts)



Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Accounting Policies

TIB Financial Corp. is a bank holding company headquartered in Naples, Florida, whose business is conducted primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank and Naples Capital Advisors, Inc. Together with its subsidiaries, TIB Financial Corp. (collectively the “Company”) has a total of twenty-eight full service banking offices in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Collier, Lee, and Sarasota counties, Florida. On February 13, 2009, TIB Bank acquired the deposits (excluding brokered deposits), branch office operations and certain assets from the FDIC as receiver of the former Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast (“Riverside”).  On September 25, 2009, The Bank of Venice, acquired by the Company in April 2007, was merged into TIB Bank.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation.  For further information and an additional description of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The consolidated statements include the accounts of TIB Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TIB Bank and subsidiaries and Naples Capital Advisors, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The share and per share amounts discussed throughout this document have been adjusted to account for the effects of three one percent stock dividends declared by the Board of Directors during 2009 which were distributed April 10, 2009, July 10, 2009 and October 10, 2009 to all TIB Financial Corp. common shareholders of record as of March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

As used in this document, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “TIB Financial,” and “Company” mean TIB Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (unless the context indicates another meaning) and the term “Bank” means TIB Bank.

Recent losses, Regulatory Agreements and Definitive Investment Agreement
 
 
           The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. However, the events and circumstances described below create uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
The Company recorded net losses of $61,548, $20,930 and $2,421 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for a three year total of $84,899. During the first half of 2010, additional net losses of $19,150 were recorded.  It is important for us to reduce our rate of credit loss, strengthen the financial position of the Company and TIB Bank and execute the following plans.
 
 
On July 2, 2009, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which is an informal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies that it would move in good faith to increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009 and maintain these higher ratios for as long as this agreement is in effect.  At December 31, 2009, these elevated capital ratios were not met.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company and Bank were considered undercapitalized under the regulatory capital guidelines.

On July 2, 2010, the Bank entered a Consent Order with the bank regulatory agencies under which, among other things, the Bank has agreed to maintain a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 8% of total assets and a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of at least 12% within 90 days. The Consent Order also governs certain aspects of the Bank’s operations including a requirement that it reduce the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful by at least 70% over a two-year period, and not undertake asset growth of 5% or more per year without prior approval from the regulatory agencies. The Consent Order supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding.

On June 29, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“NAFH”) for the investment of up to $350,000 in TIB through the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and warrant.  Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the Company agreed to sell to NAFH, at the closing of the investment, 700 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share and 70,000 shares of newly created mandatorily convertible participating voting preferred stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for a cumulative total of $175,000.  The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and each share of preferred stock will be convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the liquidation preference divided by $0.15 (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).  After giving effect to the NAFH investment, it is expected that NAFH would own approximately 99% of the Company’s common stock (on an as-converted basis).  The Company also intends to conduct a rights offering to legacy shareholders of rights to purchase up to 149 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, which would raise up to $22,400, which would equate to 12% of the Company’s pro-forma fully diluted equity.  The record date for the rights offering was July 12, 2010.  In addition, during the 18-month period following the closing, NAFH will have the right to invest up to an additional $175,000 in preferred stock and/or common stock on the above terms.  Upon closing of the investment, each of the Company and the Bank will add experienced bankers R. Eugene (Gene) Taylor, Christopher (Chris) G. Marshall, R. Bruce Singletary and Kenneth (Ken) A. Posner to its board of directors, along with other directors to be designated by NAFH.  The investment is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including reaching an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to repurchase the preferred stock and warrant issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program on terms acceptable to NAFH, the receipt by NAFH and the Company of the requisite governmental and regulatory approvals as well as the approval of the NASDAQ Stock Market to issue the common stock, preferred stock and warrant in reliance on the shareholder approval exemptions set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5635(f). While the NAFH investment is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, there is no assurance it will close during the quarter, or ever.  At this time, all the applications required to be filed with regulatory agencies have been filed and we have reached an agreement on the significant terms on the repurchase of the Preferred Stock and warrant issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Upon consummation of the investment it is estimated that both the Company and the Bank will be well capitalized and the Bank will be in compliance with the required capital ratios of the Consent Order.

If the investment by NAFH is not consummated, the Board of Directors and management team intend to seek other strategic alternatives including but not limited to the sale of certain assets, all or a portion of the Company, or seeking a complementary partner in a merger of equals or where the Company is acquired. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in entering into any agreement or closing such an alternative transaction.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

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

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, which is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectiblity of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  Management estimates the allowance balance required based on factors including past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors.  Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are impaired and are individually internally classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on subjective factors and historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract.  Individual commercial, commercial real estate and residential loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is considered to be impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Generally, large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer, indirect, and residential real estate loans (other than those evaluated individually), are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Investment Securities and Other Than Temporary Impairment

Investment securities which may be sold prior to maturity are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Other securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost and are included in other assets on the balance sheets.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.  Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

Management regularly reviews each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds fair value, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security. Future declines in the fair value of these or other securities may result in additional impairment charges which may be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10-35. However, certain purchased beneficial interests, including non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations, that had credit ratings at the time of purchase of below AAA are evaluated using the model outlined in ASC 325-40-35.

In determining OTTI under the ASC 320-10-35 model, management considers many factors, including but not limited to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

The second segment of the portfolio uses the OTTI guidance provided by ASC 325-40-35 that is specific to purchased beneficial interests that are rated below “AAA”. Under this model, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected present value of the remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

When OTTI occurs under either model, the amount of the impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether we intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If we intend to sell or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the impairment is required to be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If we do not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the impairment shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of impairment related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares and vested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options, warrants and restricted shares computed using the treasury stock method.

Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of investment securities,  the allowance for loan losses and earnings per common share is included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for its business combinations based on the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to determine the fair value of the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. The fair values may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair value estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different fair value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired.  Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009 represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that are not individually identified and separately recognized.  Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company performed a review of goodwill for potential impairment as of December 31, 2009.  Based on the review, it was determined that impairment existed as of December 31, 2009.  The amount of the goodwill impairment charge in December 2009 was $5,887.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values.  The only intangible assets with indefinite lives on our balance sheet are goodwill and a trade name related to the acquisition of Naples Capital Advisors, Inc. Other intangible assets include core deposit base premiums and customer relationship intangibles arising from acquisitions and are initially measured at fair value.  The intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated lives ranging from 5 to 15 years.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense (or benefit) is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered various factors including the significant cumulative losses incurred by the Company over the last three years coupled with the expectation that our future realization of deferred taxes will be limited as a result of the planned investment by NAFH. These factors represent the most significant negative evidence that management considered in concluding that a full valuation allowance was necessary at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 166 (not yet integrated into the ASC), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from Statement 140 and removes the exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, to qualifying special-purpose entities. The objective in issuing this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Adoption did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105-10 which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. ASC 105-10 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption, as required, did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

The Company views the unrealized losses in the above table to be temporary in nature for the following reasons.  First, the declines in fair values are mostly due to an increase in spreads due to risk and volatility in financial markets.  Excluding the taxable state and political subdivision securities, corporate bonds and collateralized debt obligation, these securities are primarily AAA rated securities and have experienced no significant deterioration in value due to credit quality concerns and the magnitude of the unrealized losses of approximately 3% or less of the amortized cost of those securities with losses is consistent with normal fluctuations of value due to the volatility of market interest rates.  The nature of what makes up the security portfolio is determined by the overall balance sheet of the Company and currently it is suitable for the Company’s security portfolio to be primarily comprised of fixed rate securities. Fixed rate securities will by their nature react in price inversely to changes in market rates and that is liable to occur in both directions.

We own a municipal bond guaranteed by a state housing finance agency which is currently rated “A-”, a corporate bond of a large financial institution which is currently rated “BB” and a collateralized debt obligation secured by debt obligations of banks and insurance companies which was rated “CC” at June 30, 2010, whose fair values have declined more than 4% below their original cost.  We believe these declines in fair value relate to a significant widening of interest rate spreads associated with these securities.  While these securities have experienced deterioration in credit quality, we have evaluated these securities and have determined that these securities have not experienced a credit loss.  As we have the intent to hold and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before their fair market value recovers, they are not other than temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Management regularly reviews each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds market price, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our intention with regard to holding the security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security. Future declines in the fair value of these or other securities may result in impairment charges which may be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 50 security positions, 6 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s collateralized debt obligation, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed and other securities, as discussed below:

Mortgage-backed securities

At June 30, 2010, the Company owned residential mortgage backed securities guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and corporations. The fair values of certain of these securities have declined since we acquired them due to wider spreads required by the market or changes in market interest rates.

Corporate bonds

At June 30, 2010, the Company owned corporate bonds issued by one of the largest banking and financial institutions in the United States. These bonds had been downgraded to “B” due to increased credit concerns, however recently the rating agencies upgraded these bonds to “BB”.  The institution has received significant capital investment from the United States Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program/TARP and its financial performance is beginning to improve and it recently repaid the capital investment from the United States Treasury. As the Company does not have the intent to sell these bonds and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the bonds before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these bonds to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

Collateralized debt obligation

The Company owns a collateralized debt security collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by banks and several insurance companies. Our analysis of this investment falls within the scope of ASC 325-40. This security was rated high quality “AA” at the time of purchase, but at June 30, 2010, nationally recognized rating agencies rated this security as “CC.” The Company compares the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in the expected cash flows. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow valuation model which considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults by issuers of the underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates. Interest payment deferrals are generally treated as defaults even though they may not actually result in defaults. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we engaged an independent third party valuation firm to estimate the fair value and credit loss potential of this security. Management reviewed the assumptions and methodology employed in these analyses and while the assumptions differ somewhat from period to period, the methodology of discounting estimated future cash flows based upon the expected performance of the underlying issuers collateralizing the security has not changed during 2010. Based upon the most recent analysis, as of June 30, 2010, management concluded that the unrealized loss does not meet the definition of other than temporary impairment under generally accepted accounting principles because no credit loss has been incurred. Additionally, we used the model to evaluate alternative scenarios with higher than expected default assumptions to evaluate the sensitivity of our default assumptions and the level of additional defaults required before a credit loss would be incurred.  This security remained classified as available for sale at June 30, 2010, and accounted for the $4,234 of unrealized loss in the collateralized debt obligation category at June 30, 2010. In arriving at the estimate of fair value for this security as of June 30, 2010, the model used a discount margin of 11% above the LIBOR forward interest rate curve and a projected cumulative default assumption of approximately 40%. As of June 30, 2010, the trustee’s most recent report indicated actual defaults and deferrals of approximately 33% net of assumed recoveries.

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share and Common Stock

Since we reported a net loss for each period reported, all outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants are considered anti-dilutive.  Loss per share has been computed based on 14,849,681 and 14,815,798 basic and diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and 14,844,426 and 14,808,498 basic and diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and unvested restricted shares are the only common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.

Weighted average anti-dilutive stock options and warrants and unvested restricted shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 6 – Capital Adequacy

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements result in certain discretionary and required actions by regulators that could have an effect on the Company’s operations. The regulations require the Company and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
 
To be considered well capitalized and adequately capitalized (as defined) under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios. At June 30, 2010, the Company and the Bank’s leverage capital ratios and total risk-based capital ratios fell below the levels required to be considered adequately capitalized.  At December 31, 2009, both the Bank and the Company maintained capital ratios to be considered adequately capitalized. These minimum ratios along with the actual ratios for the Company and the Bank at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are presented in the following table.

On July 2, 2009, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which is an informal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies that it would move in good faith to increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009 and maintain these higher ratios for as long as this agreement is in effect.  At December 31, 2009, these elevated capital ratios were not met.  On July 2, 2010, the Bank entered a Consent Order, which is a formal agreement, with the bank regulatory agencies under which, among other things, the Bank has agreed to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% of total assets and a total risk based capital ratio of at least 12% within 90 days. The Consent Order also governs certain aspects of the Bank’s operations including a requirement that it reduce the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful by at least 70% over a two-year period, and not undertake asset growth of 5% or more per year without prior approval from the regulatory agencies. The Consent Order supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding.

On June 29, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with NAFH for the investment of up to $350,000 in TIB through the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and a warrant.  Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the Company agreed to sell to NAFH, at the closing of the investment, 700 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share and 70,000 shares of newly created mandatorily convertible participating voting preferred stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for a cumulative total of $175,000.  The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and each share of preferred stock will be convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the liquidation preference divided by $0.15 (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).  After giving effect to the NAFH investment, it is expected that NAFH would own approximately 99% of the Company’s common stock (on an as-converted basis).  The Company also intends to conduct a rights offering to legacy shareholders of rights to purchase up to 149 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, which would raise up to $22,400, which would equate to 12% of the Company’s pro-forma fully diluted equity.  The record date for the rights offering was July 12, 2010.  In addition, during the 18-month period following the closing, NAFH will have the right to invest up to an additional $175,000 in preferred stock and/or common stock on the above terms.  Upon closing of the investment, each of the Company and the Bank will add experienced bankers R. Eugene (Gene) Taylor, Christopher (Chris) G. Marshall, R. Bruce Singletary and Kenneth (Ken) A. Posner to its board of directors, along with other directors to be designated by NAFH.  The investment is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including reaching an agreement with the  Treasury to repurchase the preferred stock and warrant issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program on terms acceptable to NAFH, the receipt by NAFH and the Company of the requisite governmental and regulatory approvals as well as the approval of the NASDAQ Stock Market to issue the common stock, preferred stock and warrant in reliance on the shareholder approval exemptions set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5635(f).  While the NAFH investment is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, there is no assurance it will close during such quarter, or ever.  At this time, all the applications required to be filed with regulatory agencies have been filed and we have reached an agreement on the significant terms on the repurchase of the Preferred Stock and warrant issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

On July 16, 2010, the Company received a letter from the Treasury (the “Treasury Letter”) that indicated that the Treasury would be willing to consent to a proposal made by the Company to repurchase the Treasury Preferred Stock and the Warrant subsequent to the closing of the NAFH investment. The Company’s proposal provides for consideration for the repurchase of the Treasury Preferred Stock in the amount of 31% of the sum of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference ($37,000) and (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Treasury Preferred Stock as of the day prior to the signing of final documents. The consideration for the repurchase of the Warrant would be $40. Total consideration relating to the proposed repurchase would be approximately $12,070. The Treasury’s consent to the repurchase is subject to entering into final definitive documentation acceptable to the Treasury in its sole discretion. The Treasury Letter does not constitute an amendment to or modification or waiver of any term or provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement previously entered into between Treasury and the Company.

The Company has been advised by NAFH that the Treasury’s consent to the Company’s redemption of the Treasury Preferred Stock and repurchase of the Warrant for the consideration proposed by the Company as set forth in the Treasury Letter will satisfy the maximum price requirement specified in the definitive investment agreement for the repurchase of the Treasury Preferred Stock and the Warrant.  Upon consummation of the NAFH investment, it is estimated that both the Company and the Bank will be well capitalized and the Bank will be in compliance with the required capital ratios of the Consent Order.

If the investment by NAFH is not consummated, the Board of Directors and management team intend to seek other strategic alternatives including but not limited to the sale of certain assets, all or a portion of the Company, or seeking a complementary partner in a merger of equals or where the Company is acquired. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in entering into any agreement or closing such an alternative transaction.

Note 7 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by 1) obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges when available (Level 1 inputs), 2) matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial markets to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs) and 3) for collateralized debt obligations, custom discounted cash flow modeling (Level 3 inputs).

Valuation of Collateralized Debt Securities

As of June 30, 2010, the Company owned a collateralized debt security where the underlying collateral is comprised primarily of trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies. The inputs used in determining the estimated fair value of this security are Level 3 inputs. In determining its estimated fair value, management utilizes a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach. Discount rates utilized in the modeling of this security are estimated based upon a variety of factors including the market yields of publicly traded trust preferred securities of larger financial institutions and other non-investment grade corporate debt. Cash flows utilized in the modeling of this security were based upon actual default history of the underlying issuers and issuer specific assumptions of estimated future defaults of the underlying issuers. Since the fourth quarter of 2009, we have engaged an independent third party valuation firm to estimate the fair value and credit loss potential of this security. Management reviewed the assumptions and methodology employed in this analysis. The valuation approach for the collateralized debt security did not change during the first six months of 2010.

Valuation of Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate owned is generally based on recent real estate appraisals and other available observable market information. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Collateral dependent impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral, had a carrying amount of $64,007, with a valuation allowance of $6,682, as of June 30, 2010.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, $5,884 of the allowance for loan losses was specifically allocated to collateral dependent impaired loans. The amounts of the specific allocations for impairment are considered in the overall determination of the reserve and provision for loan losses. Other real estate owned which is measured at the lesser of fair value less costs to sell or our recorded investment in the foreclosed loan had a carrying amount of $43,959, less a valuation allowance of $5,260 as of June 30, 2010. As a result of sales of foreclosed properties, receipt of updated appraisals, reduced listing prices or entering into contracts to sell these properties, valuation adjustments of $4,250 and $4,887 were recognized in our statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Other repossessed assets are primarily comprised of repossessed automobiles and are measured at fair value as of the date of repossession. As a result of the disposition of repossessed vehicles, gains/(losses) of $(6)  and $46 were recognized in our statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Collateral dependent impaired loans had a carrying amount of $60,413, with a valuation allowance of $8,291 as of December 31, 2009. Other real estate owned had a carrying amount of $22,147, less a valuation allowance of $795 as of December 31, 2009.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits or deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  The methods for determining the fair values for securities and impaired loans were described previously.  For loans, fixed rate deposits and for deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates. For loans, these market rates reflect significantly wider current credit spreads applied to the estimated life.  Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing.  It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB and IBB stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.  The fair value of off balance sheet items is not considered material.

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

Forward-looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act and as such may involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of TIB Financial Corp. (the "Company") to be materially different from future results described in such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:  failure to continue as a going concern; failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations; the effects of future economic conditions; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, and interest rate risks; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, consumer finance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere.  All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of June 30, 2010, and statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of trends or results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. TIB Financial's results of operations include the operations of TIB Bank (the “Bank”) and Naples Capital Advisors, Inc. as well as the operations of nine former branches of Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast (“Riverside”) subsequent to their assumption on February 13, 2009.

Definitive Investment Agreement
 
 
We are required by regulation to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. On July 2, 2009, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which is an informal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies that it would move in good faith to increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009 and maintain these higher ratios for as long as this agreement is in effect.  At December 31, 2009, these elevated capital ratios were not met. On July 2, 2010, the Bank entered a Consent Order, a formal agreement with the bank regulatory agencies under which, among other things, the Bank has agreed to maintain a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 8% of total assets and a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of at least 12% within 90 days. The Consent Order also governs certain aspects of the Bank’s operations including a requirement that it reduce the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful by at least 70% over a two-year period, and not undertake asset growth of 5% or more per year without prior approval from the regulatory agencies.  The Consent Order supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding.

On June 29, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“NAFH”) for the investment of up to $350 million in TIB through the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and a warrant.  Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the Company agreed to sell to NAFH, at the closing of the investment, 700 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share and 70,000 shares of newly created mandatorily convertible participating voting preferred stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for a cumulative total of $175 million.  The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and each share of preferred stock will be convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the liquidation preference divided by $0.15 (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).  After giving effect to the NAFH investment, it is expected that NAFH would own approximately 99% of the Company’s common stock (on an as-converted basis).  The Company also intends to conduct a rights offering to legacy shareholders of rights to purchase up to 149 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, which would raise up to $22.4 million, which would equate to 12% of the Company’s pro-forma fully diluted equity.  The record date for the rights offering was July 12, 2010.  In addition, during the 18-month period following the closing, NAFH will have the right to invest up to an additional $175 million in preferred stock and/or common stock on the above terms.  Upon closing of the investment, each of the Company and the Bank will add experienced bankers R. Eugene (Gene) Taylor, Christopher (Chris) G. Marshall, R. Bruce Singletary and Kenneth (Ken) A. Posner to its board of directors, along with other directors to be designated by NAFH.  The investment is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including reaching an agreement with the Treasury to repurchase the preferred stock and warrant issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program on terms acceptable to NAFH, the receipt by NAFH and the Company of the requisite governmental and regulatory approvals as well as the approval of the NASDAQ Stock Market to issue the common stock, preferred stock and warrant in reliance on the shareholder approval exemptions set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5635(f). While the NAFH investment is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, there is no assurance it will close during the quarter, or ever.  At this time, all the applications required to be filed with regulatory agencies have been filed and we have reached an agreement on the significant terms for the repurchase of the Preferred Stock and warrant issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. Upon consummation of the investment, it is estimated that both the Company and the Bank will be well capitalized and the Bank will be in compliance with the required capital ratios of the Consent Order.

 
If the investment by NAFH is not consummated, the Board of Directors and management team intend to seek other strategic alternatives including but not limited to the sale of certain assets, all or a portion of the Company, or seeking a complementary partner in a merger of equals or where the Company is acquired. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in entering into any agreement or closing such an alternative transaction.

Quarterly Summary

For the second quarter of 2010, the Company reported a net loss before dividends and accretion on preferred stock of $14.1 million compared to a net loss of $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2009. The net loss allocated to common shareholders was $14.8 million, or $0.99 per share, for the second quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.37 per share, for the comparable 2009 quarter.

The higher net loss for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the net loss during the second quarter of 2009 was due to higher non-interest expenses, primarily relating to increased valuation adjustments, losses on sale and operating expenses associated with foreclosed real estate, expenses incurred in connection with our capital raising activities and the termination of a consulting agreement and a higher provision for loan losses. During the second quarter of 2010, no income tax benefit was recorded as a valuation allowance was recorded offsetting the increase in deferred tax assets attributed to the net operating loss for the quarter. Partially offsetting this impact was higher non-interest income.

Significant developments are outlined below.

·  
We continue to focus on relationship-based lending and generated approximately $3.6 million of new commercial loans and originated $32 million of residential mortgages as well as approximately $7.5 million in consumer and indirect auto loans to prime borrowers during the quarter.

·  
Naples Capital Advisors and TIB Bank’s trust department continued to establish new investment management and trust relationships, increasing the market value of assets under management by $49 million, or 41%, from June 30, 2009. Assets under management increased by $5 million, or 3%, during the quarter to $169 million as of June 30, 2010.

·  
Our credit risk exposure in the construction and development loan portfolio declined significantly as this portfolio segment declined 56% and 38% from $139.4 million and $97.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  At June 30, 2010, this loan segment now represents $60.7 million and approximately 6% of our outstanding loans, down from approximately 11% of loans a year ago.

·  
Our special asset workout group was able to work with borrowers to achieve the pay off or pay down of approximately $6.4 million in nonaccrual loans, foreclose or negotiate deeds in lieu of foreclosure for approximately $4.3 million of nonaccrual loans and sell approximately $1.9 million of other real estate owned during the quarter.

·  
The net interest margin of 2.74% during the quarter decreased 20 basis points and 4 basis points in comparison to 2.94% in the first quarter of 2010 and 2.78% in the second quarter of 2009, due primarily to $892,000 and $1.1 million decreases in net interest income, respectively. These decreases are largely attributable to the increase in nonperforming loans and other real estate owned and a change in asset mix resulting in a lower level of higher yielding loans.  We estimate that the nonperforming assets negatively impacted the margin by approximately 36 basis points during the second quarter of 2010.  Partially offsetting these factors were continued reductions of the cost of interest bearing liabilities.  We continue to maintain strong core funding sources and replace maturing higher priced time deposits with lower cost funding.

Our provision for loan losses of $7.7 million primarily reflects net charge-offs of $7.8 million.  As of June 30, 2010, non-performing loans were $76.6 million or 6.96% of loans, an increase from the $55.7 million and 4.94% of loans as of March 31, 2010.

The allowance for loan losses remained relatively unchanged at $27.7 million, or 2.52%, of total loans and represented 36% of non-performing loans, a decrease from 50% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs during the quarter increased to 2.81% of average loans on an annualized basis compared to 2.13% for the prior quarter. As of June 30, 2010, the balance of nonaccrual loans reflects cumulative charge downs of $12.3 million based primarily on the net realizable values of collateral for collateral dependent loans.

We reported total assets of $1.66 billion as of June 30, 2010, a decrease of 3% from December 31, 2009. Total loans declined to $1.10 billion, compared to $1.20 billion at December 31, 2009, as a $36.7 million, or 38%, decline in construction and land loans, a $24.2 million, or 48%, decline in indirect auto loans and a $30.7 million, or 5%, decline in commercial real estate loans led the $95.8 million decline of our loan portfolio. Total deposits of $1.34 billion as of June 30, 2010 were approximately 2% lower than the $1.37 billion at December 31, 2009.


Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Results of Operations

For the second quarter of 2010, our operations resulted in a net loss before dividends on preferred stock of $14.1 million compared to a net loss of $4.9 million in the previous year’s second quarter.  The loss allocated to common shareholders was $0.99 per share for the 2010 quarter as compared to a net loss of $0.37 per share for the comparable 2009 quarter.  The increased loss is primarily due to $4.1 million in increased valuation adjustments, losses on sale and operating expenses associated with foreclosed real estate (OREO); no tax benefit recorded in the current period as a result of the Company’s deferred tax assets being fully reserved; a $1.9 million higher provision for loan losses; and $1.6 million in expenses incurred in connection with our capital raising activities and the termination of a related consulting agreement.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and investment securities.  Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, federal funds purchased, subordinated debentures, advances from the FHLB and other short term borrowings.

Net interest income was $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease from the $11.7 million reported for the same period last year due principally to a $133.8 million, or 8%, decrease in average earning assets.  The decrease in average earning assets was due primarily to loan principal payments, payoffs, charge-offs, the higher level of nonperforming loans and conversion of nonperforming loans to other real estate owned exceeding new loan originations. These factors resulted in a $112.6 million decrease in average loans outstanding during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Additionally, the net interest margin declined by 4 basis points from 2.78% to 2.74%. The decrease in net interest margin is due to higher levels of nonperforming loans, the continued maintenance of higher levels of liquid investment securities and cash equivalents and changes in asset mix resulting in lower volumes of higher yielding loans and investment securities.  The net interest margin continues to be adversely impacted by the level of nonaccrual loans and non-performing assets, which reduced the margin by an estimated 36 basis points during the second quarter of 2010 compared to an 18 basis point estimated impact in the second quarter of 2009.  Partially offsetting these factors were continued reductions of the cost of interest bearing deposits and the successful repricing or replacement of maturing higher priced time deposits with lower cost funding.

The $3.9 million decrease in interest and dividend income for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 was mainly attributable to decreased average volumes and rates on loan balances and investment securities due primarily to the higher level of non-performing loans and significant declines in market interest rates.  Due to the lower volumes of higher yielding loans and the higher level of non-accrual loans, the yield on our loans declined 39 basis points. The yield of our interest earning assets declined 57 basis points in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 due to the reduction in the yield on our loans and investment securities.

Partially offsetting the decline in interest and dividend income, were decreases in deposit interest rates paid as well as other market interest rates. The average interest cost of interest bearing deposits declined 80 basis points and the overall cost of interest bearing liabilities declined by 68 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Going forward, we expect market short-term interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time.  Generally, we expect loan and investment yields and deposit costs to stabilize. However, deposit rates could increase due to demand in the financial markets, banking system and other local markets for liquidity which may be reflected in elevated pricing competition for deposits. The predominant drivers affecting net interest income are the volume and composition of earning assets, the interest rates paid on our deposits and the net change in non-performing assets.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision and allowance for loan losses were impacted by many factors including net charge-offs, the decline in loans outstanding, the decline in impaired loans, historical loss rates and the mix of loan types. The provision for loan losses increased to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $5.8 million in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan losses in 2010 is due principally to an increase in net charge-offs compared to the 2009 period.  Net charge-offs were $7.8 million, or 2.81% of average loans on an annualized basis, during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $5.8 million, or 1.89% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the same period in 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the balance of the allowance for loan losses decreased to $27.7 million as compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 2009 due primarily to a $95.6 million decline in loans outstanding, a $36.7 million decline in impaired loans and a change in the mix of loan types including a 38% decline in construction and vacant land loans and a 48% decline in indirect auto loans. At the same time, due primarily to the impact of recent historical charge-off experience on the factors used in estimating the allowance for loan losses, the June 30, 2010 allowance increased as a percentage of loans to 2.52% compared to 2.43% at December 31, 2009 and the percentage allocation of the reserve not specifically allocated to impaired loans increased to 2.06% of unimpaired loans at June 30, 2010 as compared to 1.91% at December 31, 2009. Offsetting the impact of historical loss rate factors used in estimating the allowance for loan losses were overall declines in loan balances outstanding, declines in loans classified as impaired and changes in the mix of loan types which, in combination, resulted in a lower balance of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010.

Our provision for loan losses in future periods will be influenced by the loss potential of impaired loans, trends in the delinquency of loans, non-performing loans and net charge offs, which cannot be reasonably predicted.

We continuously monitor and actively manage the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. Due to the continued economic contraction, both individual and business customers are exhibiting difficulty in timely payment of their loan obligations. We believe that this trend may continue for the foreseeable future. Consequently, we may experience higher levels of delinquent and non-performing loans, which may require higher provisions for loan losses, higher charge-offs and higher collection related expenses in future periods. For additional information on nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses, refer to the section entitled Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses below.

  Non-interest Income

           Excluding net gains on investment securities, non-interest income was $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.  The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to the following: a $163,000 increase in fees from the origination and sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market; an $85,000 increase in fees for investment advisory services; an increase of $176,000 in debit card income; and an insurance gain of $135,000 on a bank owned life insurance policy.  Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in service charges on deposit accounts of $363,000.

Non-interest Expense

During the second quarter of 2010, non-interest expense increased $4.3 million, or 27%, to $20.5 million compared to $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2009. The increase is due primarily to a $4.1 million increase in OREO related expenses and valuation adjustments, $1.6 million in expense related to our capital raising initiatives and the termination of a related consulting agreement during the second quarter of 2010 and $258,000 in increased insurance premiums.  Offsetting these increased costs were reductions in salaries and employee benefits of $655,000, a net decrease in FDIC insurance assessments of $297,000 due to the one time special assessment of $800,000 recorded in second quarter of 2009 and a decrease in net occupancy expense of $165,000.

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits in the second quarter of 2010 relative to the second quarter of 2009 was due largely to the effect of a reduction in employee headcount beginning in 2009.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had 417 employees compared to 379 employees at June 30, 2010.

For the second quarter of 2010, the decrease in occupancy expense as compared to the second quarter of 2009 is a result of our continued focus on consolidating facilities and containing operating costs.

Foreclosed asset related expenses increased $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 relative to the second quarter of 2009. Of this increase, $3.6 million relates to OREO valuation adjustments during the second quarter of 2010. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions.  Other OREO operating and ownership expenses increased $683,000. Such costs include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties.

Other expenses increased $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009.  The increase is primarily due to $1.6 million in expenses relating to our capital raising initiatives and the termination of a related consulting agreement ($1.25 million). Offsetting this increase was a decrease in total FDIC insurance assessments of $297,000 which is comprised of an increase in regular assessments by $502,000 relative to the second quarter of 2009, due primarily to higher deposit insurance premium rates, offset by the $800,000 one time special assessment in second quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes and in 2010 reflects a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 0% and 38%, respectively. Historically, the fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses, respectively, for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered various factors including the significant cumulative losses we have incurred over the last three years coupled with the expectation that our future realization of deferred taxes will be substantially limited as a result of the planned investment by NAFH. These factors represent the most significant negative evidence that management considered in concluding that a full valuation allowance was necessary at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Our future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax free investments we make and, to a greater extent, the impact of changes in the required amount of  the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets and our overall level of taxable income. See Note 1 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information about the calculation of income tax expense. Additionally, there were no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and we do not expect the total of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Results of Operations

For the first six months of 2010, our operations resulted in a net loss before dividends on preferred stock of $19.2 million compared to a net loss of $8.3 million in the first half of the previous year.  The loss allocated to common shareholders was $1.38 per share for the first six months of 2010 as compared a net loss of $0.66 per share for the comparable 2009 period.  The increased loss is primarily due to $4.8 million in increased valuation adjustments, losses on sale and operating expenses associated with foreclosed real estate; no tax benefit recorded in the current period as a result of the Company’s deferred tax assets being fully reserved; a $1.6 million higher provision for loan losses; and $1.6 million in expenses incurred in connection with our capital raising activities and the termination of a related consulting agreement.

Annualized loss on average assets for the first six months of 2010 was 2.28% compared to a loss on average assets of 0.94% for the first six months of 2009.  The annualized loss on average shareholders’ equity was 72.54% for the first six months of 2010 compared to a loss of 13.83% for the same period of 2009.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $22.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease from the $22.5 million reported for the same period last year due principally to a 6% decrease in average earning assets.  The decrease in average earning assets was due primarily to loan principal payments, payoffs, charge-offs and the conversion of nonperforming loans to other real estate owned exceeding new loan originations and resulting in a $79.9 million decrease in average loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The net interest margin increased by 13 basis points from 2.71% to 2.84%. The increase in the net interest margin is due to continued reductions of the cost of interest bearing deposits and the successful repricing or replacement of maturing higher priced time deposits with lower cost funding.  Partially offsetting the increase was continued higher levels of nonperforming loans and the change in asset mix resulting in lower volumes of higher yielding loans and investment securities.  The net interest margin continues to be adversely impacted by the level of nonaccrual loans and non-performing assets, which reduced the margin by an estimated 31 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to an estimated 16 basis point impact during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The $6.4 million decrease in interest and dividend income for the first half of 2010, compared to the first half of 2009, was mainly attributable to lower balances of loans, the higher level of non-performing loans, significant declines in market interest rates and the related impact on loan and investment yields.  Due to the lower volumes of higher yielding loans and the higher level of non-accrual loans, the yield on our loans declined 39 basis points. The yield of our interest earning assets declined 50 basis points in the first half of 2010, compared to the first half of 2009, due to the reduction in the yield on our loans and investment securities.

Partially offsetting the decline in interest and dividend income, were decreases in deposit interest rates paid as well as other market interest rates.  The average interest cost of interest bearing deposits declined 93 basis points and the overall cost of interest bearing liabilities declined by 77 basis points compared to the first half of 2009.

Going forward, we expect market short-term interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time. Generally, we expect loan and investment yields and deposit costs to stabilize. However, deposit rates could increase due to demand in the financial markets, banking system and other local markets for liquidity which may be reflected in elevated pricing competition for deposits. The predominant drivers affecting net interest income are the composition of earning assets, the interest rates paid on our deposits and the net change in non-performing assets.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision and allowance for loan losses were impacted by many factors including net charge-offs, the decline in loans outstanding, the decline in impaired loans, historical loss rates and the mix of loan types. The provision for loan losses increased to $12.6 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $11.1 million in the comparable prior year period. The higher provision for loan loss in 2010 is principally due to an increase in net charge-offs compared to the 2009 period.  Net charge-offs were $14.0 million, or 2.46% of average loans on an annualized basis, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $9.4 million, or 1.55% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the same period in 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the balance of the allowance for loan losses decreased to $27.7 million, as compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 2009, due primarily to a $95.6 million decline in loans outstanding, a $36.7 million decline in impaired loans and a change in the mix of loan types including a 38% decline in construction and vacant land loans and a 48% decline in indirect auto loans. At the same time, due primarily to the impact of recent historical charge-off experience on the factors used in estimating the allowance for loan losses, the June 30, 2010 allowance increased as a percentage of loans to 2.52%, compared to 2.43% at December 31, 2009, and the percentage allocation of the reserve not specifically allocated to impaired loans increased to 2.06% of unimpaired loans at June 30, 2010 as compared to 1.91% at December 31, 2009. Offsetting the impact of historical loss rate factors used in estimating the allowance for loan losses were overall declines in loan balances outstanding, declines in loans classified as impaired and changes in the mix of loan types which, in combination, resulted in a lower balance of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010.

Our provision for loan losses in future periods will be influenced by the loss potential of impaired loans, trends in the delinquency of loans, non-performing loans and net charge offs, which cannot be reasonably predicted.

We continuously monitor and actively manage the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. Due to the continued economic contraction, both individual and business customers are exhibiting difficulty in timely payment of their loan obligations. We believe that this trend may continue for the foreseeable future. Consequently, we may experience higher levels of delinquent and non-performing loans, which may require higher provisions for loan losses, higher charge-offs and higher collection related expenses in future periods. For additional information on nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses, refer to the section entitled Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses below.

           Excluding net gains on investment securities, non-interest income was $4.3 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to $4.0 million in the prior year period of 2009.  The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to the following: a $331,000 increase in fees from the origination and sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market; a $199,000 increase in fees for investment advisory services; an increase of $335,000 in debit card income; and an insurance gain $135,000 on bank owned life insurance policies.  These increases were offset by a decline in service charges on deposit accounts of $414,000 and a $346,000 loss recorded upon the sale of $20.1 million of indirect auto loans during the first quarter of 2010. The indirect auto loans were sold at a price exceeding the face value of the underlying notes. However, as unamortized premiums paid to auto dealers upon the origination of these loans exceeded the premium received in the sale, the accounting result of the sale was the aforementioned loss. Premiums paid to auto dealers upon loan origination are recorded as deferred loan costs and amortized over the life of the individual loans. Economically, when the transaction is evaluated considering the reduction of approximately $621,000 of the allowance for loan losses attributable to the sold loans, we estimate the sale had a net positive impact of approximately $275,000.

Non-interest Expense

During the first six months of 2010, non-interest expense increased $6.0 million, or 20%, to $35.5 million compared to $29.5 million for the first six months of 2009. The increase is primarily due to a $4.8 million increase in OREO related expenses and valuation adjustments, $1.6 million related to our capital raising initiatives and the termination of a related consulting agreement during the second quarter of 2010, increased FDIC insurance costs of $793,000 due to higher deposit insurance premium rates, an increase in other professional fees of $332,000, and a $489,000 increase in insurance premiums related to corporate insurance coverage. Offsetting these increased costs were reductions in salaries and employee benefits and the $800,000 one time FDIC special assessment recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.2 million in the first six months of 2010 relative to the first six months of 2009. The primary reason for the decrease in salaries and employee benefits was due to a reduction in employee headcount beginning in 2009 and $674,000 of higher severance related costs incurred in the first half of 2009.  At June 30, 2009, the Company had 417 employees compared to 379 employees as June 30, 2010.

Foreclosed asset related expenses increased $4.8 million in the first six months of 2010 relative to the first six months of 2009. Of this increase, $4.0 million relates to OREO valuation adjustments during the first half of 2010. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in the real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions. Other OREO operating and ownership expenses increased $939,000. Such costs include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties and the increase reflects the higher level of OREO in 2010 compared to 2009.

Other expenses increased $2.4 million in the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009.  The 2010 period includes $1.6 million in expenses relating to our capital raising initiatives and the termination of a related consulting agreement ($1.25 million) during the second quarter of 2010. Other professional fees increased by $332,000 due principally to the costs associated with a 2010 independent third party loan review and $489,000 of increased insurance premiums. FDIC insurance assessments increased by $793,000, relative to the first half of 2009, due primarily to higher deposit insurance premium rates offset by the impact of the $800,000 one time FDIC special assessment in second quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes and in 2010 reflects a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 0% and 38%, respectively. Historically, the fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses, respectively, for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not (greater than 50% likelihood) that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered various factors including the significant cumulative losses we have incurred over the last three years coupled with the expectation that our future realization of deferred taxes will be substantially limited as a result of the planned investment by NAFH. These factors were among the most significant negative evidence that management considered in concluding that a full valuation allowance was necessary at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Our future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax free investments we make and, to a greater extent, the impact of changes in the required amount of the valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets and our overall level of taxable income. See Note 1 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information about the calculation of income tax expense. Additionally, there were no unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009, and we do not expect the total of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months.


Balance Sheet

Total assets at June 30, 2010 were $1.66 billion, a decrease of $46.3 million, or 3%, from total assets of $1.71 billion at December 31, 2009.  Total loans declined to $1.10, billion compared to $1.20 billion at December 31, 2009, as a $36.7 million, or 38%, decline in construction and land loans, a $24.2 million, or 48%, decline in indirect auto loans and a $30.7 million, or 5%, decline in commercial real estate loans led the $95.8 million decline of our loan portfolio. Of this decline in loans outstanding, $26.3 million related to loans foreclosed and transferred to other real estate owned, $14.0 million related to charge-offs and $5.6 million related to sales of nonperforming loans. The decline in indirect auto loans was due primarily to the sale of approximately $20.1 million of such loans during the first quarter of 2010. Also, in the first six months of 2010, investment securities increased $32.3 million, or 13%.

At June 30, 2010, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were $125.0 million, which remained even with December 31, 2009.  Total deposits of $1.34 billion as of June 30, 2010 decreased $27.7 million, or 2%, compared to $1.37 billion at December 31, 2009.  Brokered deposits declined $37.2 million from $48.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $10.9 million at June 30, 2010.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $39.0 million at June 30, 2010, decreasing $16.5 million from December 31, 2009. Book value per common share decreased to $0.22 at June 30, 2010 from $1.42 at December 31, 2009.


Investment Securities

During the first six months of 2010 and 2009, we realized net gains of $2.6 million and $1.5 million relating to sales of approximately $188.6 million and $290.9 million (including the liquidation of funds temporarily invested in money market mutual funds) of available for sale securities, respectively.

As previously described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009, as of June 30, 2010, the Company owns four collateralized debt obligation investment securities (three backed primarily by corporate debt obligations of homebuilders, REITs, real estate companies and commercial mortgage backed securities and the fourth backed by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies) with an aggregate original cost of $15.0 million.  In determining the estimated fair value of these securities, management utilizes a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach which is discussed in greater detail in Note 7 - Fair Value. These securities are floating rate securities which were rated "A" or better by an independent and nationally recognized rating agency at the time of purchase. At various dates during 2008 and 2009, due to ratings downgrades, changes in estimates of future cash flows and the amounts of impairment, management concluded that the losses of value for the collateralized debt obligations backed by debt securities of homebuilders, REITs and real estate companies and commercial mortgage backed securities, aggregating $10.0 million, were other than temporary under generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the Company wrote these investment securities down at various dates to their estimated fair value. During 2009, the Company recognized approximately $763,000 of such write-downs.  Through the end of the second quarter of 2009 the write-down of these three securities to $0 resulted in the recognition of cumulative other than temporary impairment losses of $10.0 million. During 2009, the estimated fair value of the security backed by trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies declined further due to the occurrence of additional defaults or deferrals by certain underlying issuers and changes in the estimated timing of the future cash flow and discount rate assumptions used to estimate the value of these securities. As of June 30, 2010, management concluded that the unrealized loss on this security does not meet the definition of other than temporary under generally accepted accounting principles because no credit loss has been incurred.

As these securities are not readily marketable and there have been no observable transactions involving substantially similar securities, estimates of future cash flows, levels and timing of future default and assumptions of applicable discount rates are highly subjective and have a material impact on the estimated fair value of these securities. The estimated fair value may fluctuate significantly from period to period based upon actual occurrence of future events of default, recovery, and changes in expectations of assumed future levels of default and discount rates applied.

We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds fair value, the duration of that impairment, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity. Future declines in the fair value of these or other securities may result in additional impairment charges which may be material to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. For additional detail regarding our impairment assessment process, see Note 2 of the Unaudited Notes to Consolidated financial statements above.

Non-performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and investment securities, repossessed personal property, and other real estate.  Loans and investments in debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the principal and interest and generally when loans are 90 days past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract.  Non-performing assets are as follows:

(*)
In 1998, TIB Bank made a $10.0 million loan to construct a lumber mill in northern Florida. Of this amount, $6.4 million had been sold by the Bank to other lenders. The loan was 80% guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In addition to business real estate and equipment, the loan was collateralized by the business owner’s interest in a trust. Under provisions of the trust agreement, beneficiaries cannot receive trust assets until November 2010.

The portion of this loan guaranteed by the USDA and held by us was approximately $1.6 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the USDA paid the Company the principal and accrued interest and allowed the Company to apply other proceeds previously received to capitalized liquidation costs and protective advances. The non-guaranteed principal and interest ($2.0 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009) and the reimbursable capitalized liquidation costs and protective advance costs totaling approximately $133,000 and $126,000 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, are included as “other assets” in the financial statements.

Florida law requires a bank to liquidate or charge off repossessed real property within five years, and repossessed personal property within six months. Since the property had not been liquidated during this period, the Bank charged-off the non guaranteed principal and interest totaling $2.0 million at June 30, 2003, for regulatory purposes.  Since we believe this amount is ultimately realizable, we did not write off this amount for financial statement purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.

Of the $36.3 million of loans placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2010 included in the table above, $1.6 million related to loans which we reviewed during the second quarter and determined that no specific reserves were necessary at such time. The remaining loans which were also reviewed during the period had allocated specific reserves of $3.1 million, after related charge downs, and resulted in the provision of additional specific reserves of $4.3 million during the period.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio and amounted to approximately $27.7 million and $29.1 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Our formalized process for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any, for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income, includes both individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses.  Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on loan relationships of a significant size, or when otherwise deemed necessary, and primarily encompass commercial real estate and other commercial loans.  The result is that commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are classified into the following risk categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard or Loss.  The allowance consists of specific and general components. When appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans based upon the risk classification and the estimated potential for loss.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Otherwise, we estimate an allowance for each risk category.  The general allocations to each risk category are based on factors including historical loss rate, perceived economic conditions (local, national and global), perceived strength of our management, recent trends in loan loss history, and concentrations of credit.

Non-performing loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, whereas other loans may only be included in one category. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Generally, residential mortgage, commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management, are individually evaluated for impairment. Nonaccrual loans and restructured loans where loan term concessions benefitting the borrowers have been made are generally designated as impaired. Impaired loans presented in the table below include the $76.3 million of nonperforming loans included in the tables above, other than indirect auto and consumer loans, along with $22.3 million of restructured loans which are in compliance with modified terms and not reported as non-performing and other impaired loans which are not currently classified as non-accrual, but meet the criteria for classification as an impaired loan (i.e. loans for which the collection of all principal and interest amounts as specified in the original loan contract are not expected, or where management has substantial doubt that the collection will be as specified, but is still expected to occur in its entirety). Collectively, these loans comprise the potential problem loans individually considered along with historical portfolio loss experience and trends and other quantitative and qualitative factors applied to the balance of our portfolios in our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

If a loan is considered to be impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the carrying value of the loan is reported at the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the loan’s original rate or at the fair value of collateral, less disposition costs, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Impaired loans are as follows:

Indirect auto loans and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually and or separately identified for impairment disclosures.  These loans are grouped into pools and assigned risk categories based on their current payment status and management’s assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans. The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above.

Based on an analysis performed by management at June 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses is considered to be adequate to cover estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. However, management’s judgment is based upon our recent historical loss experience, the level of non-performing and delinquent loans, information known today and a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid.  Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that significant additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

As previously discussed in Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, TIB Bank has entered into a Consent Order with bank regulatory agencies. In addition to increasing capital ratios, the Bank has agreed to improve its asset quality by reducing the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful in the report from the most recent regulatory examination through collection, disposition, charge-off or improvement in the credit quality of the loans.

Charge-offs of $1.9 million related to foreclosed loans were recorded during the second quarter of 2010 of which $1.8 million was reserved for.  Valuation adjustments on OREO of $4.3 million were primarily due to updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions.  Net activity relating to other real estate owned loans during the second quarter of 2010 is as follows:

Capital and Liquidity

Capital

If a bank is classified as undercapitalized the bank is subject to certain restrictions.  One of the restrictions is that the bank may not accept, renew or roll over any brokered deposits (including CDARs deposits) without being granted a waiver of the prohibition by the FDIC. As of June 30, 2010, we had $33.1 million of brokered deposits consisting of $22.2 million of reciprocal CDARs deposits and $10.9 million of traditional brokered deposits representing approximately 2.5% of our total deposits. CDARs deposits of $20.2 million and traditional brokered deposits of $571,000 mature within the next twelve months. An inability to roll over or raise funds through CDARs deposits or brokered deposits could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.  Additional restrictions include limitations on deposit pricing, the preclusion from paying “golden parachute” severance payments and the requirement to notify the bank regulatory agencies of certain significant events.

On July 2, 2009, TIB Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which is an informal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies that it will move in good faith to increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009 and maintain these higher ratios for as long as this agreement is in effect.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, these elevated capital ratios were not met. On July 2, 2010, the Bank entered a Consent Order, a formal agreement with the bank regulatory agencies under which, among other things, the Bank has agreed to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% of total assets and a total risk based capital ratio of at least 12% within 90 days. The Consent Order also governs certain aspects of the Bank’s operations including a requirement that it reduce the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful by at least 70% over a two-year period, and not undertake asset growth of 5% or more per year without prior approval from the regulatory agencies. The Consent Order supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 7.1% and the leverage ratio was 2.7% which fell below the levels required to be considered adequately capitalized.  The decline in the leverage ratio from December 31, 2009 is primarily related to net losses incurred.

On December 5, 2008, under the U.S. Department of Treasury’s (the “Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) established under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the “TARP”) that was created as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”), the Company issued to Treasury 37,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, $0.10 par value, having a liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase 1,106,389 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.02 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $37.0 million. Approximately $32.9 million was allocated to the initial carrying value of the preferred stock and $4.1 million to the warrant based on their relative estimated fair values on the issue date. The fair value of the preferred stock was determined using a discount rate of 13% and an assumed life of 10 years and resulted in an estimated fair value of $23.1 million. The fair value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes Model utilizing a 0% dividend yield, a 2.67% risk-free interest rate, a 43% volatility assumption and 10 year expected life. These assumptions resulted in an estimated fair value of $2.9 million for the warrant. Both the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant and the exercise price are subject to adjustment in accordance with customary anti-dilution provisions and upon certain issuances of the Company’s common stock or stock rights at less than 90% of market value. The $37.0 million of proceeds received were allocated between the preferred stock and the warrant based on their relative fair values. This resulted in the preferred stock being recognized at a discount from its $37.0 million liquidation preference by an amount equal to the relative fair value of the warrant. The discount is currently being accreted using the constant effective yield method over the first five years. Accretion in the amount of $380,000 and $434,000 was recorded during the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the first six months of 2009, $823,000 of dividends were recorded.  The total capital raised through this issue qualifies as Tier 1 regulatory capital and can be used in calculating all regulatory capital ratios.

Cumulative preferred stock dividends are payable quarterly at a 5% annual rate on the per share liquidation amount for the first five years and 9% thereafter. Under the original terms of the CPP, the Company may not redeem the preferred stock for three years unless it finances the redemption with the net cash proceeds from sales of common or preferred stock that qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital (qualified equity offering), and only once such proceeds total at least $9.3 million. All redemptions, whether before or after the first three years, would be at the liquidation amount per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and are subject to prior regulatory approval.

The Company received a request from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta for the Company’s Board of Directors to adopt a resolution that it will not make any payments or distributions on the outstanding trust preferred securities without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank.  The Board adopted this resolution on October 5, 2009. The Company has also notified the Treasury of its election to defer the dividend payment on the Series A preferred stock issued under TARP beginning in November 2009.

The Company may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock or, with certain exceptions, repurchase common stock without first having paid all accrued cumulative preferred dividends that are due. For three years from the issue date, the Company also may not increase its common stock dividend rate above a quarterly rate of $0.0589 per share or repurchase its common shares without Treasury’s consent, unless Treasury has transferred all the preferred shares to third parties or the preferred stock has been redeemed.
 
To be eligible for the CPP, the Company also agreed to comply with certain executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of the EESA, including a limit on the tax deductibility of executive compensation above $500,000. The specific rules covering these requirements were recently developed by Treasury and other government agencies. Additionally, under the EESA, Congress has the ability to impose “after-the-fact” terms and conditions on participants in the CPP. As a participant in the CPP, the Company may be subject to any such retroactive terms and conditions. The Company cannot predict whether, or in what form, additional terms or conditions may be imposed.
 
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the “ARRA”) became law on February 17, 2009. Among its many provisions, the ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future TARP recipients, including the Company, that are in addition to those previously announced by the Treasury. These limits are effective until the institution has repaid the Treasury, which is now permitted under the ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.

Due to the contracting economic conditions, the higher level of nonperforming assets, the potential for further operating losses and the agreement to increase its capital under the Consent Order, the Company is proceeding with plans to increase its capital. These plans will likely result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock and securities convertible into common stock. While management believes we have sufficient capital to continue as a going concern, if we are unable to raise additional capital and/or we incur significant additional losses and are unable to comply with the terms of the Consent Order, uncertainty arises about our ability to continue as a going concern and we may be subject to further regulatory enforcement actions.

On June 29, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with NAFH for the investment of up to $350 million in TIB through the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and a warrant.  Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the Company agreed to sell to NAFH, at the closing of the investment, 700 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share and 70,000 shares of newly created mandatorily convertible participating voting preferred stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share for a cumulative total of $175 million.  The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and each share of preferred stock will be convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the liquidation preference divided by $0.15 (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).  After giving effect to the NAFH investment, it is expected that NAFH would own approximately 99% of the Company’s common stock (on an as-converted basis).  The Company also intends to conduct a rights offering to legacy shareholders of rights to purchase up to 149 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.15 per share, which would raise up to $22.4 million, which would equate to 12% of the Company’s pro-forma fully diluted equity.  The record date for the rights offering was July 12, 2010.  In addition, during the 18-month period following the closing, NAFH will have the right to invest up to an additional $175 million in preferred stock and/or common stock on the above terms.  Upon closing of the investment, each of the Company and the Bank will add experienced bankers R. Eugene (Gene) Taylor, Christopher (Chris) G. Marshall, R. Bruce Singletary and Kenneth (Ken) A. Posner to its board of directors, along with other directors to be designated by NAFH.  The investment is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including reaching an agreement with the Treasury to repurchase the preferred stock and warrant issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program on terms acceptable to NAFH, the receipt by NAFH and the Company of the requisite governmental and regulatory approvals as well as the approval of the NASDAQ Stock Market to issue the common stock, preferred stock and warrant in reliance on the shareholder approval exemptions set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5635(f). While the NAFH investment is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010, there is no assurance it will close during the quarter, or ever.  At this time, all the applications required to be filed with regulatory agencies have been filed and we have reached an agreement on the significant terms of the repurchase of the Preferred Stock and warrant issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

If the investment by NAFH is not consummated, the Board of Directors and management team intend to seek other strategic alternatives including but not limited to the sale of certain assets, all or a portion of the Company, or seeking a complementary partner in a merger of equals or where the Company is acquired. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in entering into any agreement or closing such an alternative transaction.


Liquidity

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit withdrawal needs of the Company’s customers.  We manage the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available at all times.

In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, we seek to maintain adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities, short term investments such as federal funds sold and unused borrowing capacity. The Bank has invested in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The credit availability to the Bank is based on a percentage of the Bank’s total assets as reported in its most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the Federal Home Loan Bank and subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral.  At June 30, 2010, there were $125.0 million in advances outstanding in addition to $25.2 million in letters of credit including $25.1 million used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida to collateralize governmental deposits.  On January 7, 2010, the FHLB notified the Bank that the credit availability has been rescinded and the rollover of existing advances outstanding is limited to twelve months or less.

The Bank had unsecured overnight federal funds purchased accommodations up to a maximum of $7.5 million from its correspondent bank and a secured repurchase agreement with a maximum credit availability of $23.6 million as of June 30, 2010. On August 11, 2010, the Bank was notified that the unsecured accommodation was terminated and the secured repurchase agreement availability was increased to $26.3 million.  As of June 30, 2010, collateral availability under our agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (“FRB”) provides for up to $86.8 million of borrowing availability from the FRB discount window. We believe that we have adequate funding sources through unused borrowing capacity from our correspondent banks and FRB, available cash, unpledged investment securities, loan principal repayment and potential asset maturities and sales to meet our foreseeable liquidity requirements.

As of June 30, 2010, our holding company had cash of approximately $341,000.  This cash is available for providing capital support to the Bank and for other general corporate purposes. The Company received a request from the FRB for the Company’s Board of Directors to adopt a resolution that it will not declare or pay any dividends on its outstanding common or preferred stock, nor will make any payments or distributions on the outstanding trust preferred securities or corresponding subordinated debentures without the prior written approval of the FRB.  The Board adopted this resolution on October 5, 2009.  The Company notified the trustees of its $20 million trust preferred securities due July 7, 2036 and its $5 million trust preferred securities due July 31, 2031 of its election to defer interest payments on the trust preferred securities beginning with the payments due in October 2009. In January 2010, the Company notified the trustees of its $8 million trust preferred securities due September 7, 2030 of its election to defer interest payments on the trust preferred securities beginning with the payment due March 2010.  The Company also notified the Treasury of its election to defer the dividend payment on the Series A preferred stock issued under TARP beginning in November 2009. Deferral of the trust preferred securities is allowed for up to 60 months without being considered an event of default. Additionally, the Company may not declare or pay dividends on its capital stock, including dividends on preferred stock, or, with certain exceptions, repurchase capital stock without first having paid all trust preferred interest and all cumulative preferred dividends that are due. If dividends on the Series A preferred stock are not paid for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury has the right to appoint two members to the Board of Directors of the Company. At this time it is unlikely that the Company will resume payment of cash dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future. As previously announced, we have entered into a definitive agreement with NAFH for the investment of up to $350 million in the Company through the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and warrant. For additional information on the potential NAFH investment, refer to Note 1 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Asset and Liability Management

Closely related to liquidity management is the management of the relative interest rate sensitivity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company manages its interest rate sensitivity position to manage net interest margins and to minimize risk due to changes in interest rates. As a secondary measure of interest rate risk, we review and evaluate our gap position as presented below as part of our asset and liability management process.

We are cumulatively liability sensitive through the five-year time period, and asset sensitive in the over five year timeframe above. Certain liabilities such as non-indexed NOW and savings accounts, while technically subject to immediate re-pricing in response to changing market rates, historically do not re-price as quickly or to the extent as other interest-sensitive accounts. Approximately 13% of our deposit funding is comprised of non-interest-bearing liabilities and total interest-earning assets are greater than the total interest-bearing liabilities. Therefore it is anticipated that, over time, the effects on net interest income from changes in asset yield will be greater than the change in expense from liability cost. Generally, we expect loan and investment yields and deposit costs to stabilize. However, deposit rates could increase due to demand in financial markets, banking system and other local markets for liquidity which may be reflected in elevated pricing competition for deposits. The predominant drivers to increase net interest income are the volume and composition of earning assets, the interest rates paid on our deposits and the net change in non-performing assets.

Interest-earning assets and time deposits are presented based on their contractual terms. It is anticipated that run off in any deposit category will be approximately offset by new deposit generation.

As a primary measure of our interest rate risk, we employ a financial model derived from our assets and liabilities which simulates the effect of various changes in interest rates on our projected net interest income. This financial model is our principal tool for measuring and managing interest rate risk. Many assumptions regarding the timing and sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to a change in interest rates are made. We continually review and update these assumptions. This model is updated monthly for changes in our assets and liabilities and we model different interest rate scenarios based upon current and projected economic and interest rate conditions. We analyze the results of these simulations and develop tactics and strategies to attempt to mitigate, where possible, the projected unfavorable impact of various interest rate scenarios on our projected net interest income. We also develop tactics and strategies to increase our net interest margin and net interest income that are consistent with our operating policies.

Commitments

The 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.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of these instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and generally uses the same credit policies for letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Since some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee.  At June 30, 2010, total unfunded loan commitments were approximately $63.5 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to assure the performance or financial obligations of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The Bank generally holds collateral and/or obtains personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  Since most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At June 30, 2010, commitments under standby letters of credit aggregated approximately $1.1 million.

The Company believes the likelihood of the unfunded loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit either needing to be totally funded or funded at the same time is low.  However, should significant funding requirements occur, we have available borrowing capacity from various sources as discussed in the “Capital and Liquidity” section above.


 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 

Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices.  The Company has assessed its market risk as predominately interest rate risk.

The estimated interest rate risk as of June 30, 2010 was analyzed using simulation analysis of the Company’s sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates.  The Bank uses standardized assumptions run against Bank data by an outsourced provider of Asset Liability modeling.  The model derives expected interest income and interest expense resulting from an immediate two percentage point increase or decrease parallel shift in the yield curve.  The standard parallel yield curve shift uses the implied forward rates and a parallel shift in interest rates to measure the relative risk of change in the level of interest rates.  

The analysis indicates an immediate 200 basis point parallel interest rate increase would result in a decrease in net interest income of approximately $221,000, or -0.5%, over a twelve month period.

A non-parallel yield curve twist is used to estimate risk related to the level of interest rates and changes in the slope or shape of the yield curve using static rates.  The increase or decrease steepening/twist of the yield curve is “ramped” over a twelve month period. Yield curve twists change both the level and slope of the yield curve, are more realistic than parallel yield curve shifts and are more useful for planning purposes.  As an example, a 500 basis point yield curve twist increase would result in short term rates increasing 600 basis points and long term rates would increase approximately 300 basis points over a 12 month period. This scenario reflects a potential rapid shift in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve which could occur if the Federal Reserve increased short term rates by 600 basis points over a 12 month period.

 Such a 500 basis point yield curve twist increase is projected to result in an increase in net interest income of approximately $1,844,000, or 4%, over a twelve month period.

The projected impact on our net interest income of a 200 basis point parallel increase of the yield curve and a 500 basis point yield curve twist increase of short-term rates are summarized below.


   
June 30, 2010
 
   
Parallel Shift
   
Twist
 
Twelve Month Period
    +2 %     +600%/300 %
                 
Percentage change in net interest  income
    -0.5 %     +4 %


We attempt to manage and moderate the variability of our net interest income due to changes in the level of interest rates and the slope of the yield curve by generating adjustable rate loans and managing the interest rate sensitivity of our investment securities, wholesale funding, and Fed Funds positions consistent with the re-pricing characteristics of our deposits and other interest bearing liabilities.  The above projections assume that management does not take any measures to change the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank during the simulation period.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, they have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and are also designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the six month period ended June 30, 2010  that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1a. Risk Factors
 
Risk factors, other than the ones discussed below, have not materially changed during the first six months of 2010. For additional risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1a. of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 

Risks Related to Our Business

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm in their audit report for fiscal year 2009 has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  While management believes we have sufficient capital to continue as a going concern, continued operations will depend on our ability to comply with the terms of a Consent Order entered into with the bank regulatory agencies on July 2, 2010 and the financing or other capital required to do so may not be available or may not be available on acceptable terms.  Our unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that we will continue our operations on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders will lose some or all of their investment in the Company.

The Bank has entered into a Consent Order with bank regulatory agencies and certain terms of that order may not be met.

On July 2, 2009, TIB Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, which is an informal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies that it will move in good faith to increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009 and maintain these higher ratios for as long as this agreement is in effect.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, these elevated capital ratios were not met. On July 2, 2010, the Bank entered a Consent Order, a formal agreement, with bank regulatory agencies under which, among other things, the Bank has agreed to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8% of total assets and a total risk based capital ratio of at least 12% by September 30, 2010. The Consent Order also governs certain aspects of the Bank’s operations including a requirement that it reduce the balance of assets classified substandard and doubtful by at least 70% over a two-year period, and not undertake asset growth of 5% or more per year without prior approval from the regulatory agencies. The Consent Order supersedes the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with regulatory agencies on July 2, 2009.  While the Company has also entered into an investment agreement for the investment of at least $175 million in the Company, which we believe will meet or exceed the capital requirements of the order, we cannot offer any assurance that the transactions contemplated by the investment agreement will close prior to the September 30, 2010 or that such closing will definitely occur.

Limitations related to the Bank’s “ Undercapitalized” capital category.

Based upon the Bank’s June 30, 2010 capital ratios, it falls within the “undercapitalized” capital category and is subject to certain restrictive rules and regulations.  Restrictions include the imposition of a limit on the rate of interest that the Bank may pay on any type of deposit and the inability to accept or roll over brokered deposits. These restrictions could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity.  Other limitations on the Bank include restrictions on capital distributions, payment of management fees and asset growth.  Additionally, the Bank is required to file a capital restoration plan with Federal and state regulatory agencies.

Recently enacted regulatory reforms could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”), which is perhaps the most significant financial reform since the Great Depression and contains numerous and wide-ranging reforms to the United States financial system.  The Act contains many provisions which will affect institutions such as the Company and the Bank in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Consequently, compliance with the Act’s provisions may reduce the Company’s and the Bank’s revenue opportunities, increase their operating costs, require them to hold higher levels of regulatory capital and/or liquidity and otherwise adversely affect their business or financial results in the future.  The Company’s management is actively reviewing the provisions of the Act and assessing its probable impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and result of operations.  However, because many aspects of the Act are subject to future rulemaking, it is difficult to precisely anticipate its overall impact, financially and otherwise, on the Company and the Bank at this time.
 

Risks related to the proposed North American Financial Holdings, Inc. (“NAFH”) investment in TIB

The NAFH investment is subject to closing conditions, which if not satisfied or waived, will result in the investment not being completed, which may result in adverse consequences.

The NAFH agreement is subject to closing conditions that, if not satisfied, will prevent the investment from being completed. A summary discussion of the most significant of such conditions is as follows:

·  
Certain retail deposits of the Bank shall not have decreased by more that 20% from the amount thereof as of March 31, 2010.  Such deposits were $702.2 million and $651.7 million as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively; or a decline of approximately 7%.

·  
Charge-offs shall not exceed $12,706,000 for any completed calendar quarter and shall not exceed an amount equal to $12,706,000 pro-rated by the number of days in the interim quarterly period for the interim quarterly period ending five calendar days prior to closing.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 net loan charge-offs were $7.8 million.

·  
The Company shall enter into an agreement with the Treasury to redeem all shares of the Series A Preferred and all the Warrants issued to the Treasury on terms specified in the investment agreement.  The Company received a letter from the Treasury indicating that the Treasury would be willing to consent to the repurchase proposal made by the Company.  However, a written agreement has not yet been executed.

·  
The Company must receive NASDAQ’s approval to issue the shares to be purchased under the agreement in reliance on the shareholder voting exemption provisions of the NASDAQ rules. The Company has requested and expects to receive the required approval from NASDAQ.

·  
The Company must receive agreements as to payments of certain financing transaction fees.

·  
NAFH must receive the requisite approvals and consents for the investment from governmental agencies. NAFH has filed applications seeking these approvals and consents.

The agreement is also subject to other conditions that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the consummation of the investment.  The Company cannot predict whether or when these conditions of closing will be satisfied.
 
 
Regulatory approvals for the NAFH investment may not be received, may take longer that expected or may impose burdensome conditions or conditions that cannot be met.

Before the NAFH transaction may be completed various approvals or consents must be obtained from the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. These governmental agencies may impose conditions on the investment or require changes to the terms of the agreement.  Although the Company does not currently expect that any such conditions or changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying or precluding the closing of the investment or imposing additional costs, any of which might impose burdensome conditions which may not be agreeable.

The NAFH investment agreement limits our ability to pursue other capital raising alternatives.

The NAFH investment agreement contains provisions limiting the Company’s ability to solicit or negotiate any acquisition proposals other than the transactions under this agreement. Violation of this provision could result in the obligation for the Company to pay an expense reimbursement up to $1 million and a termination fee equal to $7 million. These provisions could discourage other entities from trying to invest in or acquire the Company even though those entities might be willing to invest or acquire the Company under more favorable terms than those offered by NAFH.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Current TIB shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the investment and will exercise less influence over management.

Under the terms of the NAFH agreement, the Company agreed to sell to NAFH 700 million shares of its common stock at a price of $0.15 per share and 70,000 shares of newly created mandatorily convertible participating voting preferred stock at a price of $1,000 per share for a cumulative total of $175 million.  After giving effect to the NAFH investment it is expected that NAFH would own approximately 99% of the Company’s stock.  In addition, during the 18-month period following the closing NAFH will have the right to invest up to an additional $175 million in preferred stock and/or common stock at $0.15 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments).  Accordingly, the Company’s current shareholders will have less influence on the management of the Company.  We can give no assurance that the issuance of such substantial amounts of stock will not cause the price of our common stock to decline.

As of June 30, 2010 and at the time of this filing, the Company did not meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select market and may be delisted

On January 4, 2010, Nasdaq notified the Company that the bid price of its common stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days.  As a result, the Company did not comply with the Nasdaq listing rules.  In accordance with these rules, the Company was provided until July 6, 2010, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq rules.  The Company was not able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid rule and, accordingly, requested a hearing to appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market.  This hearing was held on August 5, 2010.  During the hearing the Company requested an extension to January 3, 2011 for the Company to demonstrate a closing bid price of $1 per share in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. The Company’s submission to Nasdaq for the hearing advised that the Company intends to call a special meeting of its shareholders following the closing of the NAFH investment for such shareholders to adopt an amendment to the Company’s restated articles of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split.  The reverse stock split will require shareholder approval and will be submitted to shareholders at a special meeting following the closing of the NAFH investment. While the Nasdaq staff recommended that the hearing panel grant the Company’s request, as of the date of this filing, the Company is awaiting the final hearing determination. There is no assurance that the Company’s requested extension will be granted and if granted, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq rules during the extension period. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be delisted either after the final hearing determination or at the end of the extension period if granted.
