PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

Throughout this section, when we use the terms “we,” “our” or “us,” we are referring to Sun American Bancorp or to Sun American Bancorp and its subsidiary, Sun American Bank. Reference to “the Company” refers to Sun American Bancorp. On May 21, 2007, the Company completed a 1 for 2.5 reverse stock split of its common stock. The references in this document to our shares of common stock reflect the reverse stock split.

General

History

The Company is a single bank holding company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Sun American Bancorp was originally incorporated in 1992 under the name of PCM Acquisition Group, Inc., for the sole purpose of acquiring Florida First International which was renamed Southern Security Bank Corporation. In 2000, while under a cease and desist order from Federal bank regulators, Southern Security Bank was reorganized and infused with new capital by a group of investors. In 2001, Southern Security Bank Corporation acquired the assets and assumed deposits and certain liabilities of PanAmerican Bank. As part of the transaction, Southern Security Bank adopted the name PanAmerican Bank and the Company was renamed PanAmerican Bancorp. In 2004, PanAmerican Bancorp acquired the assets and assumed deposits and certain liabilities of Gulf Bank and entered into an assignment and sublease agreements for the lease of the three Gulf Bank’s branches in Miami-Dade County, Florida. On January 12, 2006, the Company changed its name from PanAmerican Bancorp to Sun American Bancorp. In addition, the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock was changed from “PNB” to “SBK.” On January 20, 2006, we also changed the name of our bank subsidiary from PanAmerican Bank to Sun American Bank (the “Bank”).

On December 29, 2006, the Company acquired in exchange for approximately 1.48 million shares (subject to adjustment as provided in the acquisition agreement) of the Company’s common stock substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities, of Beach Bank, which operated two branches in Miami-Dade County, Florida. At December 31, 2007, the Company operated fifteen branches in South Florida, including one branch acquired in the Independent Community Bank merger (see “Recent Developments” below).

Recent Developments

On March 22, 2007, the Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the new symbol “SAMB”. Prior to that time, the Company’s common stock had been listed on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SBK”.

On March 30, 2007, the Bank, announced that Independent Community Bank, a Florida commercial banking association, merged with and into the Bank with the Bank being the surviving bank in the merger pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger by and among us, the Bank and Independent Community Bank. Upon consummation of the merger transaction, Independent Community Bank common stock was converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash.  Shareholders of Independent Community Bank were entitled to elect to receive for each share of Independent Community Bank common stock owned, subject to adjustments as provided in the merger agreement:

·

$34.81 in cash; or

·

6.4463 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Cash was paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares based on the formula set forth in the merger agreement. Cash utilized to fund the transaction came from internally generated funds.

Based upon the 1,090,473 shares of Independent Community Bank common stock outstanding on March 30, 2007, The Company paid approximately $19.0 million in cash (including the cash out of options to purchase shares of Independent Community Bank common stock held by Independent Community Bank’s directors, officers and employees) and issued approximately 1.63 million shares of its common stock in connection with the merger transaction to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Independent Community Bank.

In April 2007, the Bank opened new branch number fourteen in West Boca Raton, Florida.

On May 21, 2007, the Company effected a 1 for 2.5 reverse stock split of its common stock.

Sun American Bank

The Company owns 99.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Bank. The Bank is chartered by the State of Florida and engages in general commercial banking providing a wide range of loan and deposit services. Its deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to applicable limits, and it is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank’s primary market areas are Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Martin Counties in Florida. The Bank operates six branches in Miami –Dade County, two branches in Broward County, six branches in Palm Beach County and one Branch in Martin County. All locations are full-service branches.

Deposit services for personal and business customers include a variety of checking accounts which include interest-earning, low-cost checking, and senior checking. Savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit with a wide variety of terms and rates are also offered. Consumers have access to ATMs, safe deposit boxes, direct deposit and on-line banking services. In 2007, lock box services were introduced to provide expanded services to business customers. Management does not believe that the deposits or the business of the Bank in general are seasonal in nature. Deposit levels may, however, vary with local and national economic conditions and may also vary based upon the interest rate paid to clients.

Mortgage lending activities include commercial, industrial, and residential loans secured by real estate. The Bank’s customers are predominantly small to medium sized businesses, individual investors and consumers. Commercial lending activities include originating secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit, and providing cash management services to a variety of businesses. The Bank also provides a merchant credit card program. The Bank’s consumer loan department makes direct auto, home equity, home improvement, and personal loans to individuals.

During 2007, the Bank operated a joint venture with two individuals under the name of Sun American Financial LLC which provided residential mortgages to our clients. The Bank owns 51% of Sun American Financial LLC, however, this business was discontinued in January 2008 due to unfavorable market conditions.

Wealth Management services were provided through Sun American Wealth Management, which is a financial services division of the Bank. Sun American Wealth Management, in partnership with UVEST Financial Services, a FINRA registered broker-dealer, and had provided bank customers with access to a wide variety of investment and insurance products and services. The Sun American Wealth Management division was discontinued in January 2008 due to unfavorable market conditions.

Financial Highlights

The Company has experienced growth in recent years through acquisitions and internal generation of new business. Management has focused on growing the loan portfolio by concentrating on the origination of high-quality real estate loans, and by competitively pricing deposit products in order to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread.

Growth Strategy

The Company intends to continue to expand its business through internal growth. If opportunities arise that are deemed beneficial to the company involving mergers and acquisitions, they will be considered. The Company intends to grow internally by adding to the loan portfolio and bringing in new deposits.

The Company also intends to grow its capital base on a continuing basis as it is part of the Company’s business strategy of maintaining a “well” capitalized position. The Company intends to pursue this business strategy while managing asset quality. The Bank’s core franchise remains very strong with strong risk management procedures in place. Though the Bank up until this time has been on a fast track for growth, a shift to obtain more current earnings will be highlighted in 2008 due to the current economic environment and the maturing of the Bank’s core business. The Company’s objective of becoming a $1 billion bank is still on track and still obtainable during the next few years.

Operating Strategy

Focus on increasing net loans. The Bank’s lending activities focus primarily on providing local businesses with commercial business loans and loans secured by real estate. The Bank is increasing its efforts to develop new business relationships and has increased its marketing efforts. Typically, the Bank seeks commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $13.0 million. The Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $14.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2007. In addition, the Bank shares participation in loans with other banks for loans generated that exceed its or the other bank’s legal lending limit. The Bank plans to increase its contribution from consumer lending, focusing on providing home equity and other loan products to individuals.

Manage asset quality. The Bank seeks to maintain high asset quality through a program that includes sound underwriting, diversification of collateral and prompt and strict adherence to established credit policies combined with training and supervision of lending officers. Additionally, the Bank uses incentives to maintain high

6

asset quality, by connecting a portion of its loan officers’ compensation to the quality of the loans they originate and evaluate the loan quality by the post closing performance of the loan. In 2007, the Bank has conducted weekly updates to monitor the valuation of loan portfolio assets and the timeliness of borrower payments. Emphasis has been placed on early detection of deterioration in the quality of loan assets to enable a swift resolution of underlying issues when identified.

Focus on the acquisition of low cost, stable core deposits to support loan growth. In 2007 we have mandated our branch network staff to proactively seek business and personal relationships in our community and to match the client’s needs with our wide range of deposit products. We continue to add new enhancements to our suite of deposit products to make the deposit client’s experience more convenient and easy to access. Our goal is to facilitate the overall client needs and not focus on new client acquisition led by high interest rates.

Attract and retain highly qualified and productive staff across all levels of the organization and focus on low net overhead. Key to the Company’s growth and profitability is management’s experience in providing community banking services and the ability to create a culture committed to both proactive sales and disciplined credit quality. The Company’s practice of employing highly qualified and productive individuals at all levels of the organization is key to meeting business goals and maintaining lower costs.

Enhance and upgrade our business platform to support business growth. The Company will continue to invest in systems, technology and people to facilitate an administrative infrastructure that is efficient and maintains a satisfactory level of internal control and regulatory compliance.

Maintain the level of earning assets as they relate to operating expenses in order to improve profitability. The Company is pursuing a growth strategy by increasing the level of earning assets, primarily through increases in the loan portfolio, and by increasing the level of capital in support of this growth. At the same time, we are continually analyzing our operating expenses to find areas where costs can be reduced through greater efficiency.

Increase the Company’s capital base to support business growth. The periodic addition of new capital to support business growth is a core component required to permit the Company to achieve growth plans.

Market Area

The Company’s primary market areas for loan and deposit growth are Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties in southeast Florida where the Company now operates fifteen full-service branches. This metropolitan area has a large and diverse population. Southeast Florida traditionally has strong tourism, housing demand, and taxable sales. Tourism and housing demand benefit from the influx of visitors and residents migrating from the northern states, Canada, other Florida counties, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The Company has also experienced a growing demand for commercial loans throughout the Company’s market areas.

The diverse South Florida region includes a large population of retirees. In addition, many of the Bank’s customers, due to their Hispanic backgrounds, speak Spanish. In Miami-Dade County, the Bank has six full service banking offices, two of which were acquired from Beach Bank. In Broward County, the Bank has two full service branches, one located in the city of Fort Lauderdale and the other in the city of Hollywood. In Palm Beach County, the Bank has six full service branches located in the cities of Boca Raton (2), Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Tequesta.  Our Martin County full service branch is located in the city of Stuart.

Competition

The Company faces substantial competition in all phases of operations from a variety of different competitors. Competition for deposits, loans, and other financial services come from numerous Florida-based and out-of-state banks, savings banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities that provide financial services, many of which are much larger than the Bank. Most of these competitors, some of which are affiliated with bank holding companies, have substantially greater resources and lending limits, and may offer certain services that the Bank does not currently provide. In addition, many of the Bank’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. The Bank competes by offering high levels of attention to its customers, providing personalized services that its larger competitors may not match. In insta nces where the Bank is unable to provide services meeting customer needs, it seeks to arrange for those services to be provided by other banks with which it has business relationships.

7

In 2007 the competition for low cost deposits and high quality loans has been very intense and in order to compete, the bank has had to make pricing concessions in some cases that have resulted in compression of the Bank’s net interest margin.

The Company maintains a strong community orientation by, among other things, supporting active participation of its employees in local business, charitable, civic, school and religious activities.

Supervision and Regulation

The Company and the Bank are highly regulated entities, which are governed by various federal, state and governmental authorities. As explained more fully below, federal and Florida banking laws and regulations govern all areas of our operations, including reserves, loans, capital, payment of dividends, establishment and closing of branches, the granting of credit under equal and fair conditions, and the disclosure of the cost and terms of such credit. As our primary federal regulator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, referred to as the Federal Reserve Board in this report, has authority to initiate civil and administrative actions and take other measures against the Bank and its institution-affiliated parties, which include its officers, directors, employees, 10%-or-greater shareholders and (under certain circumstances) its professionals, for any violation of law or any action that constitutes an unsafe or unsound bankin g practice. Such enforcement actions include the issuance of cease and desist orders, civil money penalties, and the removal of and prohibition against its institution-affiliated parties from actively participating in the conduct of its affairs.

Bank Holding Company Regulation and Supervision

We are a single-bank holding company, registered with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, referred to as the BHC Act in this report. As such, the Company and the Bank are subject to the supervision, examination, and reporting requirements of the BHC Act, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Bank. We are required to file periodic reports with the Federal Reserve Bank and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Bank may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve Bank may conduct examinations of us. Under Federal Reserve Bank regulations and other Federal Reserve Bank authority, we are required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve Bank’s policy that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company s hould stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks may be considered by the Federal Reserve Bank to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Bank’s regulations or both.

The BHC Act, generally prohibits us from engaging in activities other than banking or managing or controlling banks or other permissible subsidiaries and from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect control of any company engaged in any activities other than those activities determined by the Federal Reserve Bank to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In determining whether a particular activity is permissible, the Federal Reserve Bank must consider whether the performance of such an activity reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking practices. For example, factoring accounts receivable, acquiring or servicing loans, leasing p ersonal property, conducting discount securities brokerage activities, performing certain data processing services, acting as agent or broker in selling credit life insurance and certain other types of insurance in connection with credit transactions, all have been determined by the Federal Reserve Bank to be permissible activities of bank holding companies. Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve Bank has the power to order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that continuation of such activity or such ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of any bank subsidiary of that bank holding company.

Change of Holding Company Control. With regard to bank holding companies, the BHC Act requires that every bank holding company obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Bank is required to consider the

8

financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served and various competitive factors.

The BHC Act further prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve Bank has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Bank, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the bank holding company. In addition, any person or group of persons must obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Bank under the BHC Act, before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquirer that is already a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding common stock of a bank holding company, or otherwise obtaining control or a “controlling influence” over the bank holding company.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, referred to as the GLB Act in this report, significantly changed the regulatory structure and oversight of the financial services industry. Effective March 12, 2000, the GLB Act repealed the provisions of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act that restricted banks and securities firms from affiliating with one another. It also revised the BHC Act to permit a qualifying bank holding company, called a financial holding company, to engage in a full range of financial activities, including banking, insurance, securities, and merchant banking activities. It also permits qualifying bank holding companies to acquire many types of financial firms without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Management does not believe that the GLB Act has or will have an immediate positive or negative material effect on our operations. In addition, we have not elected to become a financial holding company for purposes of the GLB Act and, therefore, cannot engage in the expanded range of activities afforded to financial holding companies. However, the GLB Act may have the result of increasing the amount of competition that Sun American Bank faces from larger financial service companies, many of which have substantially more financial resources than Sun American Bank, which may now offer banking services in addition to insurance and brokerage services.

Bank Regulation and Supervision

As a Federal Reserve Bank member state bank, the principal federal regulator of the Bank is the Federal Reserve Bank and, therefore, the Bank is subject to the regulations and administrative practices of the Federal Reserve Bank. In addition, as a state bank chartered by the State of Florida, the Bank is subject to the Florida Banking Code, which is administered by the Office of Financial Regulation as well as the rules and regulations of the Office of Financial Regulation. The deposit obligations of the Bank are insured by the FDIC in the maximum individual amounts of $100,000 each. The Florida Office of Financial Regulation supervises and regulates all areas of the Bank’s operations, including, without limitation, its loans, mortgages, issuance of securities, annual shareholders meeting, capital adequacy requirements, payment of dividends and the establishment or termination of branches. As a state-chartered banking institution in the State of Florida, the Bank is empowered by statute, subject to limitations expressed therein, to take savings and time deposits, to accept checking accounts, to pay interest on such deposits, to make loans on residential and other real estate, to make consumer and commercial loans, to invest, with certain limitations, in equity securities and in debt obligations of companies and to undertake other various banking services on behalf of its customers.

As a state-chartered member of the Federal Reserve System, the bank is subject to capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank requires state-chartered member banks to comply with risk-based capital standards and to maintain a minimum leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with both the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage capital ratio.

Change of Bank Control. Florida and federal law restrict the amount of voting stock of a bank that a person may acquire without the prior approval of banking regulators. The overall effect of such laws is to make it more difficult to acquire a bank by tender offer or similar means than it might be to acquire control of another type of corporation. Consequently, stockholders of financial institutions are less likely to benefit from the rapid increases in stock prices that often result from tender offers or similar efforts to acquire control of other companies.

Under Florida law, no person or group of persons may, directly or indirectly or acting by or through one or more persons, purchase or acquire a controlling interest in any bank that would result in the change in control of that bank unless the Florida Office of Financial Regulation first shall have approved such proposed acquisition. A person or group will be deemed to have acquired “control” of a bank: (i) if the person or group, directly or indirectly or acting by or through one or more other persons, owns, controls, or has power to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank, or controls in any manner the election of a majority of the directors of the bank; or (ii)

9

if the Office of Financial Regulation determines that such person exercises a controlling influence over the management or policies of the bank. In any case where a proposed purchase of voting securities would give rise to a presumption of control, the person or group who proposes to purchase the securities must first file written notice of the proposal to the Office of Financial Regulation for its review and approval. Subsections 658.27(2)(c) and 658.28(3), Florida Statutes, refer to a potential change of control of a financial institution at a 10% or more threshold and rebuttable presumption of control. Accordingly, the name of any subscriber acquiring more than 10% of the voting securities of the Bank must be submitted to the Office of Financial Regulation for prior approval.

Federal law imposes additional restrictions on acquisitions of stock in banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, a person or group must give advance notice to the Federal Reserve Bank before acquiring control of any state member bank. Upon receipt of such notice, the Federal Reserve Bank either may approve or disapprove the acquisition. That statute creates a rebuttable presumption of control if a member or group acquires 10% or more of a bank’s voting stock and if one or more other “control factors” as set forth in that statute are present.

Interstate Banking and Branching

Florida banks are permitted by Florida statute to branch statewide. Such branch banking, however, is subject to prior approval by the Office of Financial Regulation, and agreement by the Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC. Any approval by the Office of Financial Regulation, Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC of branching by the Bank would take into consideration several factors, including our level of capital, the prospects and economics of the proposed branch office, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Office of Financial Regulation, Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC for purposes of determining whether approval should be granted to open a branch office.

Affiliate and Insider Restrictions

The Bank’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” (e.g., any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including us and our non-bank subsidiaries) is limited by federal law. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate is limited to 10% of the capital and surplus of the Bank. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the Bank’s capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in federal law. The purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. The transactions with affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances that are at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, we are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies, and we may not purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

The Bank’s authority to extend credit to insiders, such as executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders, as well as entities controlled by insiders, is also governed by federal law. Loans to insiders are required to be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. An exception exists for loans made to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other employees. The law limits both the individual and aggregate amount of loans the Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on its capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed.

Investment Activities

The Bank is permitted under federal and state law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, certificates of deposit of other federally insured institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, the Bank may also invest a portion of its assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. As a Federal Reserve Bank member bank, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock. In addition, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and is required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The Bank is required under state and federal regulations to maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets.

A committee consisting of the Bank’s officers and directors determines appropriate investments in accordance with the board of directors’ approved investment policies and procedures. Our investment policies generally limit investments to U.S. Government and U.S. Government agency securities, municipal bonds, certificates of deposits, marketable corporate debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities and certain types of mutual funds. Our investment policy does not permit engaging directly in hedging activities or purchasing high risk

10

mortgage derivative products. Investments are made based on certain considerations, which include the interest rate, credit quality, yield, settlement date and maturity of the investment, the Bank’s liquidity position, and anticipated cash needs and sources (which in turn include outstanding commitments, upcoming maturities, estimated deposit maturities and anticipated loan amortization and prepayments). The effect that the proposed investment would have on the Bank’s credit and interest rate risk, and risk-based capital is also given consideration during the evaluation.

Lending Activities

Community Reinvestment Act; Fair Lending. The Bank is subject to a variety of fair lending laws and reporting obligations involving home mortgage lending operations and Community Reinvestment Act activities, referred to as the CRA in this report. The CRA generally requires the federal banking agencies to examine the record of a bank in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low-and moderate-income neighborhoods. Each financial institution’s efforts in meeting community credit needs are evaluated as part of the examination process pursuant to twelve assessment factors. A bank can also become subject to substantial penalties and corrective measures for a violation of certain fair lending laws. The federal banking agencies may take compliance with such laws and CRA obligations into account when regulating and supervising other activities or assessing whether to approve certain applications such as mergers, acqui sitions and applications to open a branch or facility. At the Bank’s most recent examination during 2003, the Federal Reserve Bank rated Sun American Bank “Satisfactory” in complying with its CRA obligations. The Bank anticipates that it will be examined again during 2008.

Under federal law, federally insured banks are subject, with certain exceptions, to certain restrictions on any extension of credit to affiliates, on investment in the stock or other securities of affiliates, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral from any borrower. In addition, such banks are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit or the providing of any property or service.

Federal and Florida law further provide loans-to-one borrower limits. A bank may extend credit to any person, including any related interest of that person, up to an amount of 15% of its capital for loans and lines of credit, which are unsecured. A bank may extend credit to any person, including any related interest of that person, up to an amount of 25% of its capital for loans and lines of credit, which are amply and entirely secured. When outstanding loans consist of both secured and unsecured portions, the secured and unsecured portions may not exceed 25% of the capital of the lending bank, and the unsecured portion may not exceed 15% of the capital of the lending bank.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes it has established the existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loan portfolio, will not request us to increase significantly the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that a substantial increase will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.  See the discussion in “Risk Factors” entitled “Our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results and may negatively impact the value of our common stock”.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

Deposit Insurance Assessments. Deposit accounts with the Bank are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor, and up to a maximum of $250,000 on certain retirement accounts, including traditional and Roth individual retirement accounts. The FDIC maintains a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system by which institutions are assigned to one of four categories based on their capitalization and other supervisory information. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned. Assessment rates for member institutions are determined semi-annually by the FDIC.

The FDIC has the authority to increase deposit insurance assessments if it determines such increases are appropriate to maintain the reserves of the deposit insurance fund or to fund the administration of the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to levy emergency special assessments on fund members.

In addition to assessments for deposit insurance, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC to fund payments on bonds issued in the late 1980’s by a federal agency to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. These assessments will continue until the financing corporation bonds mature in 2017.

11

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, referred to as the Reform Act in this report, was enacted on February 8, 2006 as a part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Effective March 31, 2006, the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund were merged into a new combined fund, called the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Reform Act: (i) increases deposit insurance coverage for retirement accounts to $250,000; (ii) indexes the current $100,000 insurance coverage limit for standard accounts and the new $250,000 limit for retirement accounts to reflect inflation (with adjustments for inflation every five years, commencing January 1, 2011); (iii) requires the FDIC to assess annual deposit insurance premiums on all banks and savings institutions; (iv) gives a one-time insurance assessment credit totaling $4.7 billion to banks and savings institutions in existence on December 31, 1996 that can be used to offset premiums otherwise due; (v) imposes a cap on the level of the Deposit Insurance Fund and provides for dividends or rebates when the fund grows beyond specified levels; (vi) adopts a historical basis concept for distributing the aforementioned one-time credit and dividends (with each institution’s historical basis to be determined by a formula that looks back to the institution’s assessment base in 1996 and adds premiums paid since that time); and (vii) authorizes revisions to the current risk-based system for assessing premiums, including setting the fixed designated reserve ratio requirement within a range between 1.15% and 1.5% of insured deposits.

The increase in insurance coverage for retirement accounts was effective as of April 1, 2006. The one-time insurance assessment credit to banks and savings institutions was effective as of November 17, 2006. As of January 1, 2007, the fixed designated reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund will be set at 1.25%. In addition, as of January 1, 2007, the cap imposed on the Deposit Insurance Fund level and the payment of dividends when the fund grows beyond specified levels becomes effective. The FDIC is required to adopt final rules for the rest of the provisions no later than 270 days after enactment.

Based upon the FDIC’s final rule on the one-time assessment credit, all institutions in existence on December 31, 1996 (including successor institutions as defined in the new rule) who paid assessments prior to said time will be notified by the FDIC of the amount of such institution’s one-time credit based on the institution’s 1996 assessment base. The credit may be used to offset deposit insurance assessments commencing in 2007 and 90% of such assessments in years 2008, 2009 and 2010 to the extent the institution has sufficient credits available. The institution may request a review of the FDIC’s determined credit if the institution disagrees with the calculation, its eligibility or its assessment base.

As a result of the FDIC’s final rule in connection with the Deposit Insurance Fund cap and the dividend and rebate determination, the FDIC will determine annually whether the reserve ratio at the end of the prior year equals or exceeds 1.35% of estimated insured deposits or exceeds 1.5%, thereby triggering a dividend requirement. The FDIC will pay eligible institutions a dividend of 50% of the amount in the Deposit Insurance Fund when the reserve ratio is above 1.35%. When the reserve ratio exceeds 1.5%, the FDIC is generally required to pay eligible institutions a dividend of 100% of the amount in the Deposit Insurance Fund. While the assessment method has not been fully determined yet, the Bank will face an increase in deposit insurance premium expenses.

Deposit Accounts. Most of the Bank’s depositors are residents of the State of Florida. Deposits are attracted from within the Bank’s market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, regular checking accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans to both personal and business customers. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers current market interest rates, profitability to the bank, matching deposit and loan products and its customer preferences and concerns. The Bank reviews its deposit mix and pricing weekly.

Borrowings. The Bank has the ability to borrow from correspondent banks to supplement its supply of funds available and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Advances are made pursuant to limitations on the amount of advances and are based on the financial condition of the member institution as well as the value and acceptability of collateral pledged. We have established a correspondent relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida with respect to the foregoing services. At December 31, 2007, the Bank maintained an unsecured line of credit of $10.0 million and the Company maintains two secured revolving lines of credit amounting to $5.0 million, all with Independent Bankers Bank, to meet interim liquidity needs. The Company has drawn $2.7 million against these secured lines as of December 31, 2007 at a prevailing interest rate of 6.25%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Bank’s unsecure d line of credit as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Borrowings on the secured lines of credit were repaid to Independent Bankers Bank in January 2008 and were replaced with a secured line of credit with Silverton Bank in the amount of up to $8.0 million.

12

Equity and Capital Resources. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

The Bank’s capital accounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. Quantitative and qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios, set forth in the table later in this report of Total and Tier-1 capital, as defined by federal banking regulations, to risk weighted assets, and of Tier-1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of December 31, 2007, we have met the capital adequacy requirements as defined by these definitions, and were well capitalized.

Dividends. There are various limitations under law restricting the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. The Federal Reserve Bank and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if such payment may be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. Under Florida law applicable to banks and subject to certain limitations, after charging off bad debts, depreciation and other worthless assets, if any, and making provisions for reasonably anticipated future losses on loans and other assets, the board of directors of a bank may declare a dividend of so much of the bank’s aggregate net profits for the current year combined with its retained earnings (if any) for the preceding two years as the board shall deem to be appropriate and, with the approval of the Office of Financial Regulation, may declare a dividend from retained earnings for prior years. Before declaring a dividend, a bank must carry 20% of its net profits for any preceding period as is covered by the dividend to its surplus fund, until the surplus fund is at least equal to the amount of its common stock then issued and outstanding. No dividends may be paid at any time when a bank’s net income from the preceding two years is a loss or which would cause the capital accounts of the bank to fall below the minimum amount required by law or any written statement with the Florida Department of Financial Services or a federal regulatory agency.

Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Legislation. On October 26, 2001, the President of the United States signed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, financial institutions are subject to prohibitions against specified financial transactions and account relationships as well as enhanced due diligence and “know your customer” standards in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and domestic and foreign customers. For example, the enhanced due diligence policies, procedures and controls generally require financial institutions to take reasonable steps:

·

to conduct enhanced scrutiny of certain account relationships to guard against money laundering and report any suspicious transaction;

·

to ascertain the identity of the nominal and beneficial owners of, and the source of funds deposited into, certain accounts as needed to guard against money laundering and report any suspicious transactions;

·

to ascertain with respect to any foreign correspondent bank customer, the shares of which are not publicly traded, the identity of the owners of the foreign bank and the nature and extent of the ownership interest of each such owner; and

·

to ascertain whether any foreign bank provides correspondent accounts to other foreign banks and, if so, the identity of those foreign banks and related due diligence information.

On September 26, 2002, the United States Department of the Treasury adopted final rules pursuant to Sections 314(a) and (b) of the USA PATRIOT Act designed to increase the cooperation and information sharing between financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement authorities regarding individuals, entities and organizations engaged in, or reasonably suspected based on credible evidence of engaging in, terrorist acts or money laundering activities. Under the new rules, a financial institution is required to:

·

expeditiously search its records to determine whether it maintains or has maintained accounts, or engaged in transactions with individuals or entities, listed in an information request submitted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network;

·

notify the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network if an account or transaction is identified;

13

·

designate a contact person to receive information requests;

·

limit use of information provided by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to: (i) reporting to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network; (ii) determining whether to establish or maintain an account or engage in a transaction; and (iii) assisting the financial institution in complying with the Bank Secrecy Act; and

·

maintain adequate procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requests.

Under the new rules, a financial institution under certain circumstances may also share with other financial institutions, information regarding individuals, entities, organizations and countries for purposes of identifying and, where appropriate, reporting activities that it suspects may involve possible terrorist activity or money laundering.

On September 26, 2002, the United States Department of the Treasury also adopted a new rule under the authority of Sections 313 and 319(b) of the USA PATRIOT Act intended to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing through correspondent accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions on behalf of foreign banks. Under the new rule, financial institutions:

·

are prohibited from providing correspondent accounts to foreign shell banks;

·

are required to obtain a certification from foreign banks for which they maintain a correspondent account stating the foreign bank is not a shell bank and that it will not permit a foreign shell bank to have access to the U.S. account;

·

must maintain records identifying the owner of the foreign bank for which they may maintain a correspondent account and its agent in the United States designated to accept service of legal process; and

·

must terminate correspondent accounts of foreign banks that fail to comply with or fail to contest a lawful request of the Secretary of the Treasury or the Attorney General of the United States, after being notified by the Secretary or Attorney General.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Bank did not maintain any correspondent accounts for non-U.S. banking institutions.

On April 30, 2003, the United States Department of the Treasury issued final regulations under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act that require banks to adopt written customer identification programs that will require them to:

·

verify the identify of any person seeking to open an account;

·

maintain records of the information used to verify identity; and

·

consult government known or suspected terrorist lists to determine whether the customer appears on any such list.

The foregoing requirements were included in the Bank’s anti-money laundering program as of December 31, 2007 as required by the USA PATRIOT Act.

Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action. New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. Management cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies. Our earnings will be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies, as well as general domestic economic conditions. The Federal Reserve Board’s power to implement national monetary policy has had, and is likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks. The Federal Reserve Board affects the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities and through its regulation of the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Employees

At December 31, 2007, there were 123 full time employees of the Company. The employees are provided with group life, health, major medical, dental and vision insurance, and long term disability. None of the Company’s or the Bank’s employees are represented by any collective bargaining units. We consider our employee relations to be good.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any such additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

You should consider the following risk factors as well as the other information contained in this report, including, but not limited to, the financial statements and the related notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

Loan losses would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results and could cause our insolvency, which would negatively affect the value of our common stock.

As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans according to their terms and that the value of the collateral securing the payment of their loans, if any, may not be sufficient to assure repayment.

Our loan portfolio includes: (i) commercial and residential mortgage loans principally secured by real estate; (ii) other commercial loans; and (iii) consumer and home equity loans. Our credit risk with respect to our consumer and commercial loan portfolios relates principally to the general creditworthiness of individuals and businesses within our local market area and the value of the collateral held as security for the repayment of the loan. Our credit risk with respect to our residential and commercial real estate mortgage portfolio relates principally to the general creditworthiness of individuals and businesses and the value of real estate serving as security for the repayment of the loans. Loan losses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results and could cause our insolvency, which may negatively affect the value of our common stock.

A decline in the value of the collateral securing our loans could result in an increase in losses on foreclosure, which could adversely affect our financial condition and negatively affect the value of our common stock.

Declining real estate values increase the loan-to-value ratios of loans we previously made, which, in turn, increases the probability of a loss in the event the borrower defaults and we have to sell the mortgaged property. In addition, delinquencies, foreclosures on loans and losses from delinquent and foreclosed loans generally increase during economic slowdowns or recessions. As a result, the market value of the real estate or other collateral underlying our loans may not, at any given time, be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding principal amount of the loans, which could adversely affect our financial condition and negatively impact the value of our common stock. In addition, any significant decline in real estate values reduces the ability of borrowers to use home equity as collateral for borrowings. This reduction in real estate values may reduce the number of loans we are able to make, which could also adversely affect our operating r esults and negatively affect the value of our common stock.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results and may negatively affect the value of our common stock.

From time to time, we recognize losses resulting from the inability of certain borrowers to repay loans and the insufficient realizable value of the collateral securing loans. We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an attempt to cover loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Additional loan losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than we have experienced to date. In determining the size of the allowance, our management evaluates our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates of material factors, including, but not limited to, the amounts and timing of future ca sh flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change. If our assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in our loan portfolio. Federal and state regulators also periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results, which may negatively affect the value of our common stock.

16

Our level of growth in recent years may not continue if our growth strategy is not successful.

In recent years, we have experienced significant growth through acquisitions and internal generation of new business. We intend to continue to expand our business through internal growth by adding to our loan portfolio and bringing in new deposits as well as through the acquisition of the assets and assumption of deposits of other banks as opportunities are identified. However, our ability to sustain continued growth depends upon several factors outside of our control, including economic conditions generally and in Florida in particular, as well as interest rate trends. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to be successful in increasing the volume of our loans and deposits at acceptable risk and asset quality levels and upon acceptable terms, while managing the costs and implementation risks associated with this growth strategy. There can be no assurance that any further expansion will be profitable or that we will continue to be able to sustain our historical rate of growth, either through internal growth or through acquisitions.

Acquisitions that we may engage in involve risks, which could negatively affect our operations and reduce the value of our common stock.

As part of our growth strategy, we completed, and may engage in the future in, bank or other acquisitions. Generally, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to:

·

difficulties in assimilating operations of the acquired institution and implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

·

exposure to asset quality problems of the acquired institution;

·

maintaining adequate regulatory capital;

·

diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

·

risks and expenses of entering new geographic markets;

·

potential significant loss of depositors or loan customers from the acquired institution;

·

loss of key employees of the acquired institution; and

·

exposure to undisclosed or unknown liabilities of an acquired institution.

Any of these acquisition risks could result in unexpected losses or expenses and thereby reduce the expected benefits of the acquisition. Moreover, our failure to successfully integrate future acquisitions and manage our growth could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

We have experienced operating losses in the past, and continued losses may negatively impact our financial position and the value of our common stock.

We incurred net losses of $228,035 and $442,655 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had net income of $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be profitable in the future. In 2007 we incurred a net loss of $3.1 million, which was primarily attributable to a number of one time write-offs associated with a branch demolition, staff reductions, branch closure costs and the increased provision for loan losses required to reduce the carrying value of our loan portfolio. If we continue to experience losses, our financial position could be negatively affected and the value of our common stock may decline.

The geographic concentration of our operations in Florida makes our business highly susceptible to local economic conditions, and an economic downturn or recession or adverse weather conditions in Florida may adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

Unlike larger banking organizations that are more geographically diversified, our operations are currently concentrated in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties in Florida. As a result of this geographic concentration in the Florida market, our financial results depend largely upon economic conditions in this market area. A deterioration or recession in economic conditions in this market could result in one or more of the following:

·

an increase in loan delinquencies;

·

an increase in problem assets and foreclosures;

·

a decrease in the demand for our products and services; and

·

a decrease in the value of collateral for loans, especially real estate, and reduction in the customers’ borrowing power.

17

In addition, because a large portion of our loan portfolio is secured by properties located in Florida, the occurrence of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, could result in a decline in deposits and loan originations, a decline in the value or destruction of mortgaged properties and an increase in the risk of delinquencies, foreclosures or loss on loans originated by us in that state.

Environmental laws and regulations and other environmental considerations may restrict our ability to foreclose on loans secured by real estate or increase costs associated with those loans, which could adversely affect our financial condition. If we foreclosed upon a property that had environmental liabilities, we could face significant liability.

Our ability to foreclose on the real estate collateralizing our loans may be limited by environmental laws that pertain primarily to commercial properties that require a current or previous owner or operator of real property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases on the property. In addition, the owner or operator may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and cleanup costs relating to the contaminated property. While we would not knowingly make a loan collateralized by real property that was contaminated, we may not discover the environmental contamination until after we made the loan or after we foreclosed on a loan. If we foreclosed upon a property that had environmental liabilities, we could face significant liability.

In addition to federal or state laws, owners or former owners of a contaminated site may be subject to common law claims, including tort claims, by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination migrating from the property. Other environmental considerations, such as pervasive mold infestation of real estate securing our loans, may also restrict our ability to foreclose on delinquent loans. To the extent that we sustain losses due to the environmental issues that may arise in connection with our loans, such losses could adversely affect our financial condition and impact the value of our common stock.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders and depositors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, we began a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC rules and regulations, including, among other matters, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In this regard, management has hired an external consultant, been dedicating internal resources and adopted a detailed work plan to: (i) assess and document the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting; (ii) take steps to improve control processes, where appropriate; (iii) verify through testing that controls are functioning as documented; and (iv) implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting.

On a number of occasions in 2006, we did not timely furnish a Current Report on Form 8-K to report events required to be reported on such form. We note that failures to timely furnish these forms were due to human performance error, not a process deficiency.

If we fail to correct any issues in the design or operating effectiveness of our key internal control over financial reporting or fail to prevent fraud, current and potential stockholders and depositors could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock.

Government regulation may have an adverse effect on our profitability and growth.

We are subject to extensive federal and state government supervision and regulation. Our ability to continue to grow profitably could be adversely affected by federal and state banking laws and regulations that limit the manner in which we accept deposits, make loans, purchase securities, pay dividends and engage in banking and other businesses. These laws and regulations, including without limitation Anti-Money Laundering laws and the Patriot Act, are subject to change and such changes may adversely affect our business and profitability due to the costs related to compliance with these requirements or changes that may be required to our operations. These laws and regulations are intended primarily to protect depositors, not stockholders. In addition, the burden imposed by federal and state laws and regulations may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to financial institutions that are less regulated and may have an adverse affect on our profitability, which may decrease the value of our common stock. Future legislation or government policy may also adversely affect our operations.

18

Competition from other financial institutions could adversely affect our profitability and growth, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

As a small commercial bank we face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors, including many large financial institutions. Competition for deposits, loans, and other financial services comes from numerous Florida-based and out-of-state banks, savings banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities that provide financial services, many of which are much larger than Sun American Bank. Most of these competitors, some of which are affiliated with bank holding companies, have substantially greater resources and lending limits, and may offer certain services, such as trust, investment and full service international banking, that Sun American Bank does not currently provide. In addition, many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Competition from various financial institutions could hinder our growth strategy and ability to attain profitable operations, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

From time to time we are subject to litigation and arbitration, the impact of which on our financial position is uncertain. The inherent uncertainty related to litigation makes it difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or potential liability that we may incur as a result of these matters.

The Company and the Bank are periodically parties to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings or arbitration proceedings, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to our business. Additionally, we may become subject to other litigation and arbitration activity not in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation disputes arising from acquisitions and business combinations.

On June 2, 2006, we, Michael Golden, and Franklin Financial Group, LLC were named as defendants in a civil suit filed by Sam Caliendo and G. Carlton Marlowe, both former members of our board of directors, Case No. 502006CA005467XXXXMB, Palm Beach County Circuit Court. The plaintiffs alleged that they did not receive compensation, including options and warrants that were promised to them while they were board members. Mr. Caliendo further alleged that he was not paid for services provided to Mr. Golden, individually, and to Franklin Financial Group, LLC. No specific damage amount was alleged in the complaint. In May 2007, this dispute was settled at a cost to us of approximately $77,000.

Additionally, the Company is currently engaged in arbitration proceedings with Beach Bank in connection with the asset acquisition agreement closing balance sheet. The acquisition agreement related to Sun American’s acquisition transaction with Beach Bank provided that the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American’s common stock to be issued and delivered by Sun American, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the obligations from Beach Bank, was determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the final audited closing balance sheet prepared by Beach Bank. The exact number of shares of Sun American common stock issued in the acquisition transaction was required to be determined based upon the book value of Beach Bank as set forth in the final, audited closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement. Such final, audited balance sh eet of Beach Bank was submitted to Sun American on February 27, 2007 and was subject to review by Sun American. Sun American requested certain adjustments to the final balance sheet of Beach Bank. The adjustments to the final balance sheet requested by Sun American required the consent of the shareholder representative of the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust, Michael Kosnitzky, which was not provided.

The dispute was submitted to an independent registered public accounting firm to independently determine the correct accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with the terms provided for in the asset acquisition agreement. On February 7, 2008, the independent accountant determined expense adjustments of $1,571,307 out of a possible $1,595,353 were required to be made to the final audited closing balance sheet of Beach Bank in favor of Sun American. The accounting resolution provided by the independent accounting firm was to be final and binding on both parties. The Beach Bank Liquidating Trust is in process of seeking clarification and/or modification of the independent accountant’s decision. If the accounting arbitration ruling is upheld, the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust will be required to return to Sun American, transaction consideration totaling approximately $3.0 million. The actual number of share s to be returned to the Company is not readily determinable at this time because it will be based upon the average daily trading price of the Company’s common stock for the ten days prior to the distribution. In addition, the Company will not be required to issue additional shares of common stock in the amount of approximately $700,000 that had previously been accrued for under the original accounting results provided by Beach Bank.

The accounting arbitration ruling is subject to review and adjustment under the general arbitration provisions of the asset acquisition agreement. Termination or rescission of the acquisition transaction is not contemplated.

On July 16, 2007 the financial public relations firm of Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates, LLC (“Wolfe Axelrod”) filed a claim in arbitration against the Company. The claim alleges that the Company entered into an agreement on August 1, 2004 to retain Wolfe Axelrod as its financial relations counsel for a period of one year. The payments due under the agreement were $4,300 per month for the six months and $3,300 per month for the second six months. It is alleged that the agreement would automatically renew for a full year unless cancelled in writing 30 days before the 12 months had ended. The Company asserts that it overpaid Wolfe Axelrod by paying $4,300 for more than the first six months of the agreement. The Company also asserts that it terminated the agreement orally and in writing due to the failure of performance by Wolfe Axelrod. The claim of Wolfe Axelrod is that it is owed 10 monthly payments of $4,300 for a tot al of $43,000 plus attorney’s fees. In addition, Wolfe Axelrod alleges that it was instrumental in raising $1.8 million of capital for the Company and that it is entitled to a 5% finder’s fee ($90,000). The Company denies this claim in its entirety. The total of the claims of Wolfe Axelrod at this time amount to $133,000 plus attorney’s fees. The parties have recently reached a settlement in principle whereby Wolfe Axelrod would perform services for an additional five months and the Company would pay a total of $40,000 for the services. The written settlement agreement has not been executed as of the date of this report.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

There is not presently an active market for shares of our common stock and, therefore, you may be unable to sell any shares of common stock in the event that you need a source of liquidity.

Although our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the trading in our common stock has substantially less liquidity than the trading in the securities of many other companies listed on that market. A public trading market in our common stock having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. In the event an active market for our common stock does not develop, you may be unable to resell your shares of common stock at or above the price per share which you acquired your shares or at any price.

Issuance of shares of our common stock upon the exercise or conversion of derivative securities may cause significant dilution of equity interests of existing holders of common stock, reduce the proportionate voting power of existing holders of common stock and reduce the value of our common stock.

As of March 7, 2008, 10,372,336 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. We have reserved approximately 4,363,225 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with previously issued securities that are exercisable or convertible into common stock, which represents 41% of our outstanding common stock. We also have reserved 2,366,093 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with our benefit plans and 80,000 shares of common stock in connection with our warrant plan adopted by our Board of Directors. Should existing holders of warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock exercise or convert such derivative securities into shares of our common stock, it may cause significant dilution of equity interests of existing holders of common stock, reduce the proportionate voting power of existing holders of common stock and reduce the value of our common stock and outstanding warrant s.

As of March 7, 2008, we had approximately 2,558,248 shares of our common stock available for future issuances, which issuances would cause further dilution to our stockholders.

A substantial number of our outstanding shares of common stock or shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants are eligible for future sale and the sale of our shares of common stock into the market may depress our stock price.

Our stock price may be depressed by future sales of our shares of common stock or the perception that future sales may occur. As of December 31, 2007, 10,632,434 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, of which 7,468,242 shares have previously been registered with the SEC. As of December 31, 2007, 5,719,728 shares issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants have been registered for resale with the SEC, including  2,330,664 shares underlying options issued under our Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan and our Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, 1,875,630 shares underlying Series D common stock purchase warrants, 1,266,943 shares underlying Series F warrants, 20,000 shares underlying Series G warrants and 226,491 shares underlying the placement agent warrants. Further, there are currently additional unregiste red shares of common stock that may be

20

sold under Rule 144. We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of common stock. Sales of substantial additional amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, may lower the common stock’s market price.

We may issue shares of preferred stock that could be entitled to dividends, liquidation preferences and other special rights and preferences not shared by holders of our common stock.

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. We may issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series as our board of directors may from time to time determine without stockholder approval. The voting powers, preferences and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each such series of preferred stock may differ from each other. The issuance of any such series of preferred stock could materially adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock and could reduce the value of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions and the regulations to which we may be subject may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.

Anti-takeover provisions in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, including the right to issue “blank check” preferred stock, as well as approvals required under banking laws and regulations, could hinder or delay a change in control of our company, including transactions in which holders of common stock might otherwise receive a premium over the market price of their shares at the time of the transaction.

We do not pay cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

We are subject to legal limitations under federal and state laws affecting the frequency and amount of dividends that may be paid to our stockholders. Banking regulators may restrict the ability of any bank holding company subject to their jurisdiction to pay dividends if the payments would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. As a Delaware corporation, we may not declare and pay dividends on our capital stock if the amount paid exceeds an amount equal to the surplus, which represents the excess of our net assets over paid-in-capital or, if there is no surplus, our net profits for the current and/or immediately preceding fiscal year. Under applicable Delaware case law, dividends may not be paid on our common stock if we become insolvent or the payment of dividends will render us insolvent. We do not pay, and we do not anticipate paying, any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and the Bank are periodically parties to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to our business. Management does not believe that there is any pending proceeding against us or the Bank, which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business or financial position.

The Company is currently engaged in arbitration proceedings with Beach Bank in connection with the asset acquisition agreement closing balance sheet. The acquisition agreement related to Sun American’s acquisition transaction with Beach Bank provided that the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American’s common stock to be issued and delivered by Sun American, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the obligations from Beach Bank, was determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the final audited closing balance sheet prepared by Beach Bank.

Such final, audited balance sheet of Beach B ank was submitted to Sun American on February 27, 2007 and was subject to review by Sun American. Sun American requested certain adjustments to the final balance sheet of Beach Bank. The adjustments to the final balance sheet requested by Sun American required the consent of the shareholder representative of the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust, Michael Kosnitzky, which was not provided.

The dispute was submitted to an independent registered public accounting firm to independently determine the correct accounting under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with the terms provided for in the asset acquisition agreement. On February 7, 2008, the independent accountant determined expense adjustments of $1,571,307 out of a possible $1,595,353 were required to be made to the final audited closing balance sheet of Beach Bank in favor of Sun American. The accounting resolution provided by the independent accounting firm was to be final and binding on both parties. The Beach Bank Liquidating Trust is in process of seeking clarification and / or modification of the independent accountant’s decision. If the accounting arbitration ruling is upheld, the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust will be required to return to Sun American, transaction consideration totaling approximately $3.0 million. The actual numb er of shares to be returned to the Company is not readily determinable at this time because it will be based upon the average daily trading price of the Company’s common stock for the ten days prior to the distribution. In addition, the Company will not be required to issue additional shares of common stock in the amount of approximately $700,000 that had previously been accrued for under the original accounting results provided by Beach Bank.

The accounting arbitration ruling is subject to review and adjustment under the general arbitration provisions of the asset acquisition agreement. Termination or rescission of the acquisition transaction is not contemplated.

On July 16, 2007 the financial public relations firm of Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates, LLC (“Wolfe Axelrod”) filed a claim in arbitration against the Company.

2007 data reflects the impact of the merger with Independent Community Bank on March 30, 2007 which resulted in an increase in net loans of $103.3 million, total assets of $151 million, total deposits of $128.6 million and total capital of $22 million.

2006 data reflects the impact of the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities of Beach Bank on December 29, 2006 which resulted in an increase in net loans of $68 million, total assets of $113 million, total deposits of $106 million and total capital of $19.2 million.

2004 data reflects the impact of the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities of Gulf Bank on February 16, 2004 which resulted in an increase in net loans of $42.2 million, total assets of $65.9 million and total deposits of $62.6 million.

No income tax benefit was recorded in 2003, 2004 or 2005 because the Company’s results of operations did not provide sufficient evidence that the net operating losses available for carryforward will be utilized in the future. In 2005 no current income tax expense was recorded because the Company was able to utilize the benefit of previous years’ loss carryforwards. In 2006, the Company recognized the remaining portion of its deferred tax assets based upon management’s assessment and expectation of generating sufficient future taxable income.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Throughout this section, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we use the terms “we,” “our” or “us,” we are referring to Sun American Bancorp and its subsidiary Sun American Bank. Throughout this section, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we use the term the “Company,” we are referring to Sun American Bancorp. Throughout this section, unless the context indicates otherwise, when we use the term the “Bank,” we are referring to Sun American Bank.

In general, South Florida real estate markets have declined in value throughout 2007. The Company is predominantly a commercial lender in the South Florida market place and is therefore exposed to the weakening real estate conditions in our South Florida geographic region. The Company’s financial results reflect the impact of these conditions through higher levels of non-performing assets, increased loan loss reserves and compression of our net interest margin. The Company is reporting non-performing assets of $7.3 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $953,000 at December 31, 2006. It is the general consensus in the market place that the South Florida real estate trend will remain depressed for the near future and therefore management can only offset this factor proactively in a limited way.

The Company has proactively worked to mitigate the negative market impact on our financial results where possible.  We have reduced our overall exposure of the loan portfolio through scheduled loan amortizations and payoffs. In select cases where we determined that the risk profile of specific loans had changed to exceed our acceptable limits, we have declined to renew the loan or guided customers to seek alternative financing.  Further, the Company sold loans or obtained additional collateral in order to reduce risk to the portfolio.

In an effort to increase the Bank’s new loan originations, the Company has substantially added to the number of senior loan officers on staff to help develop new business. As a result of this, the pipeline of new loans has started to build which should facilitate increased loan revenues, which we believe it will have a positive impact on our reslults in the medium term.

Core deposit growth remains a competitive activity for the Bank. The market remains price sensitive and clients remain rate sensitive. The Bank has continued a policy to remain competitive in our market place but to adjust deposit pricing to meet funding needs over time.

Our primary market and service area is Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties where we operated fifteen full service banking offices. We have grown significantly in recent years due to the acquisition of certain assets, and assumption of certain liabilities, of PanAmerican Bank in December 2001, Gulf Bank in February 2004 and Beach Bank in 2006. In addition we merged with Independent Community Bank in March 2007. Since these transactions, we have pursued a strategy, increasing our level of earning assets, primarily through increases in the loan portfolio by concentrating on the origination of commercial loan products, by competitively pricing deposit products to grow client deposits while maintaining an interest rate spread, and by increasing the level of capital in support of this growth. The periodic addition of new capital to support business growth is a core component required to permit us to realize growth plans.

In 2007 our business was primarily impacted by the acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities from Beach Bank which closed on December 29, 2006 and by the merger of Sun American Bank with Independent Community Bank on March 30, 2007. We focused significant resources in the first half of 2007 to integrate the operations of these acquisitions into our existing banking platform.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, our capital base was increased by approximately $13.3 million primarily due to the issuance of $22.0 million in connection with the merger of Independent Community Bank and $1.0 million to offset stock option expense. This was offset by a net loss of $3.1 million, and warrants and common stock buy backs of $3.6 million. In addition, capital was decreased by $3.0 million in 2007 to reflect the impact of an anticipated recovery of capital stock to the Company in connection with the Beach Bank acquisition transaction. In 2006 the capital base was increased by $21.9 million, represented by $18.2 million due to the issuance of 1.48 million shares of our common stock upon the closing of the Beach Bank transaction. The capital base increased a further $3.1 million through the exercise of our warrants and employee stock options. We are committed to raising additional capital as require d to meet business growth requirements and maintain the Bank’s status as a well capitalized financial institution. The Bank’s capital exceeded statutory guidelines at December 31, 2007. There were no dividends declared in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

We intend to continue to expand our business through internal growth. If opportunities arise that are deemed beneficial to the Company involving mergers and acquisitions, they will be considered. We intend to grow internally by adding to our loan portfolio and bringing in new deposits. We also intend to grow our capital base on a continuing basis as it is part of our business strategy of maintaining a “well” capitalized position. We intend to pursue this business strategy while managing asset quality.

As of December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $57797 million, net loans of $440.0 million, deposits of $380.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $97.8 million. Average total assets increased by $230.8 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 due to acquisition of $113 million of assets from Beach Bank at the end of 2006 and the acquisition of $151 million of assets from the merger with Independent Community Bank in March 2007. Capital growth corresponded with the overall growth of the Bank due to issuance of $40.5 million of capital in connection with the two acquisitions. The average equity to average assets ratio decreased modestly in the year to 17.97% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 from 18.92% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Our results of operations are primarily dependent upon the results of operations of the Bank. The Bank conducts a commercial banking business, which generally consists of attracting deposits from the general public, supplemented by Federal Home Loan Bank advances and capital infusions from us, and applying a majority of these funds (typically 75% to 90%) to the origination of commercial loans to small businesses, consumer loans, and secured real estate loans in its local trade area of South Florida. The balance of the Bank’s portfolio (approximately 10% to 25%) is generally held in cash and invested in government guaranteed or sponsored investment grade securities.

Our profitability depends primarily on generating sufficient net interest income (the difference between interest income received from loans and investments and the interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowings) to offset operating expenses. Any excess thereof is pre-tax profit earned by the Bank. The careful balance sought between the interest rate earned, frequency of rate changes, and interest rate paid to the Bank’s deposit base, determines the nature and extent to which it may be profitable. For example, if the income generated by net interest income plus non-interest income is in excess of operating expenses and loan loss reserves, the Bank should be operating profitably. Non-interest income consists primarily of service charges and fees on deposit accounts. Non-interest expenses consist primarily of personnel compensation and benefits, occupancy and related expenses, data processing costs, deposit insurance premiums paid to the FDIC, as well as other operating expenses.

In 2007, the competition in our markets for low cost core deposits intensified. We have responded to this situation by closely monitoring the interest rates paid on client deposits to ensure a balance of competitive rates to clients and minimizing the interest expense to the Company.

We also continuously monitor operating expenses to maximize efficiency and profitability, particularly in periods where business growth slows down. Management’s goal is to control the growth of operating expenses at a slower rate than the rate at which we grow our revenues. To accomplish this goal, management continues to analyze our operations to find areas where costs can be reduced through greater efficiency or through renegotiated contracts. In 2007 and 2006 we incurred higher expenses than in prior years due to the expansion of our branch network and due to other investments in our business infrastructure. In 2007 we experienced a net loss of $3.1 million compared to net income of $3.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and net income of $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The net loss in 2007 was primarily due to increased loan loss provisions of $4.5 million booked in the fourth quarter of 2007 as well as a number of one time expenses associated with acquisition conversion costs, branch demolition costs, and litigation settlement costs.

Independent Community Bank Merger

On March 30, 2007, the Bank announced that Independent Community Bank, a Florida commercial banking association, merged with and into the Bank with the Bank being the surviving bank in the merger pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger by and among us, the Bank and Independent Community Bank. Upon consummation of the merger transaction, Independent Community Bank common stock was converted into the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash.  Shareholders of Independent Community Bank were entitled to elect to receive for each share of Independent Community Bank common stock owned, subject to adjustments as provided in the merger agreement:

·

$34.81 in cash; or

·

6.4463 shares of the Company’s common stock.  

29

Cash was paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares based on the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement. Cash utilized to fund the transaction came from internally generated funds.

Based upon the 1,090,473 shares of Independent Community Bank common stock outstanding on March 30, 2007, the Company paid approximately $19.0 million in cash (including the cash out of options to purchase shares of Independent Community Bank common stock held by Independent Community Bank’s directors, officers and employees) and issued approximately 1.63 million shares of its common stock in connection with the merger transaction to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Independent Community Bank.

Beach Bank Acquisition

On December 29, 2006, the Company acquired in exchange for approximately 1.48 million shares (subject to adjustment as described in the Agreement) of the Company’s common stock substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities, of Beach Bank, which operated two branches in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The acquisition agreement related to our acquisition transaction with Beach Bank provided that the total dollar value of the shares of our common stock to be issued and delivered by us, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the obligations from Beach Bank, was determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the final audited closing balance sheet prepared by Beach Bank. The exact number of shares of our common stock issued in the acquisition transaction was required to be determined based upon the book value of Beach Bank as set forth in th e final, audited closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement. Such final, audited balance sheet of Beach Bank was submitted to us on February 27, 2007 and was subject to review by us. The Company requested certain adjustments to the final balance sheet of Beach Bank. The adjustments to the final balance sheet requested by us required the consent of the shareholder representative of the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust, Michael Kosnitzky, which was not provided.

The dispute was submitted to an independent registered public accounting firm to independently determine the correct accounting under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with the terms provided for in the asset acquisition agreement. On February 7, 2008, the independent accountant determined expense adjustments of $1,571,307 out of a possible $1,595,353 were required to be made to the final audited closing balance sheet of Beach Bank in favor of Sun American. The accounting resolution provided by the independent accounting firm was to be final and binding on both parties. The Beach Bank Liquidating Trust is in process of seeking clarification and/or modification of the independent accountant’s decision. If the accounting arbitration ruling is upheld, the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust will be required to return to Sun American, transaction consideration totaling approximately $3.0 million. The actual number of shares to be returned to the Company is not readily determinable at this time because it will be based upon the average daily trading price of the Company’s common stock for the ten days prior to the distribution. In addition, the Company will not be required to issue additional shares of common stock in the amount of approximately $700,000 that had previously been accrued for under the original accounting results provided by Beach Bank.

The accounting arbitration ruling is subject to review and adjustment under the general arbitration provisions of the asset acquisition agreement. Termination or rescission of the acquisition transaction is not contemplated. For more information see Note 20 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Conversion activities to integrate the operations of both the former Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank operations into the normal operations of our Bank were completed in the first half of 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified six policies as being critical because they require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The Company’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses is a critical policy that is discussed in detail in this section (See below the section entitled “Asset Quality and Nonperforming Assets”).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually. The test requires the Company to determine the fair value of its reporting unit and compare the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using management valuation models. 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. These fair value estimates require a significant

30

amount of judgment. Changes in management’s valuation of its reporting unit may affect future earnings through the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge. At December 31, 2007 (the goodwill impairment testing date) the fair value of its reporting unit was greater than its carrying value; therefore, goodwill was not impaired. If the fair value of reporting unit declines below the carrying amount, the Company would have to perform the second step of the impairment test. This step requires the Company to determine the fair value of all assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.

Mergers and Acquisitions: The Company accounts for its business combinations based on the purchase method of accounting. The purchase 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 c ould affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.

Acquired Loans: The Company generally acquires loans through business combinations rather than individually or in groups or portfolios. An acquired loan which has experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the acquisition, is accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (“SOP 03-3”). For such loans, the Company estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (including expected prepayments, if any) as of the acquisition date. The excess of the loan’s contractually required cash flows over the Company’s expected cash flows is referred to as a nonaccretable difference and is not recorded by the Company. The loan is initially recorded at fair value, which represents the present value of the expected cash flows. The difference between the undi scounted expected cash flows and the fair value at which the loan is recorded is referred to as accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the remaining expected life of the loan.

On a quarterly basis, the Company updates its estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. If the estimated cash flows have decreased, the Company creates a valuation allowance equal to the present value of the decrease in the cash flows and recognizes a loss. If the estimated cash flows have increased, the Company would first reverse any existing non accretable difference for that loan, and would then account for the remainder of the increase as an adjustment to the yield accreted on a prospective basis over the loan’s remaining life.

Investment Securities: The Company records its securities available for sale in its statement of financial condition at fair value. The Company uses market price quotes for valuation. The fair value of these securities in the Company’s statement of financial condition was based on the closing price quotations at period end. The closing quotation represents inter-dealer quotations without retail markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily represent actual transactions. As a consequence, the Company may not be able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. The Company adjusts its securities available for sale to fair value monthly with a corresponding increase or decrease to other comprehensive income. Investments for which management has the intent and the Company has the ability to hold to maturity, are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Amortization and accretion are calculated using the constant yield method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of individual securities classified as either held to maturity or available for sale, below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value through the income statement.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company sold an $800,000 par value investment security previously classified as held-to-maturity at a loss of $4,000. The security had been acquired as part of the Beach Bank transaction in December 2006 and carried over with the same balance sheet classification. However, the security had been identified with credit weaknesses and rated below investment grade by the major rating agencies. Given that the Company’s asset liability management policy does not permit the holding of below investment grade securities, the Company executed the sale. Management considers this a rare event and within the permissible circumstances promulgated by SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”.  Further sales from the held-to-maturity portfolio are not expected.

Income Taxes: The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for

31

financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax amounts to the amount expected to be realized.

Asset Quality and Nonperforming Assets

A primary strategy of the Company continues to be to maintain the level of earning assets as they relate to operating expenses in order to improve profitability. The Company is pursuing a growth strategy by increasing the level of earning assets, primarily through increases in loan origination in the communities the Company serves and by increasing the level of capital in support of this growth. Interest-earning assets, which consist of loans, investments, Federal Funds Sold, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, and Federal Reserve Bank Stock, totaled $503.9 million at December 31, 2007, a $44.2 million, or 9.6%, increase from $459.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in net loan assets of $89.2 million from the merger with Independent Community Bank in March 2007 and offset by a decrease in cash balances of $48.3 million in 2007.  Earning assets of $459.7 million at Decemb er 31, 2006, represented a $198.7 million, or 76%, increase from $261.0 million at December 31, 2005 of which an increase of $108.0 million or 41% of this increase resulted from the acquisition of earning assets from Beach Bank on December 29, 2006.

Lending Activities

The Bank’s principal lending areas have been defined as all census tracts within the four county areas of Martin, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida. The Bank’s customers are predominantly small to medium-sized businesses and individual consumers. On occasion the Bank also participates in loans that are presented to us for a portion of a larger loan relationship which may or may not be in our principal lending areas. Collateralized loans, the most common of which follow, are extended on similar terms to all of the Bank’s customers and have an inherent degree of risk:

·

Cash-secured loans as well as loans guaranteed by agencies of the United States Government represent a nominal level of risk.

·

Loans secured by marketable securities represent a low degree of risk.

·

Commercial and residential real estate loans, including construction and land development loans, represent a moderate degree of risk.

·

Loans secured by automobiles, boats and equipment represent a moderate to medium level of risk to the Bank.

·

Unsecured loans represent a high level of risk to the Bank.

As a significant part of the Company’s growth strategy, it is increasing its efforts to develop new business relationships and is increasing its marketing efforts. In 2007 we have added five new loan officers which have effectively doubled our capacity to source new loan opportunities. Typically, the Company seeks commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $13 million. The Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $14.5 million and $8.7 million as of December 31, 2007. During 2007 the Company increased its capital base by $13 million primarily through the capital issuance related to the merger with Independent Community Bank. The Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $15.4 million and $9.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and $13.1 million and $7.8 million as of December 31, 2005, respectively. The legal lending limit decreased in 2007 from 2006 because the goodwill booked in the Independent Community Bank merger exceeded the capital issued for the transaction. During 2006 and 2005, the Company raised $21.3 and $36.4 million of new capital, net of issuance costs, respectively, through the acquisition of Beach Bank, exercise of stock options and warrants and, in 2005, mostly through several share offerings of $35.5 million and $0.9 million of exercises of options and warrants. Increasing the Bank’s legal lending limit allows the Bank to meet the loan needs of larger customers.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of a loan is substantially less than its contractual terms because of prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on mortgage loans generally give us the right to declare loans immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of loans tends to increase, however, when current loan market rates are substantially higher than rates on existing loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on existing loans are substantially higher than current loan market rates.

32

The Bank extends credit with terms, rates and fees commensurate with those in its market place for like types of credit. Loan maturities may positively or negatively impact the Bank’s GAP position and, ultimately, its profitability.

Loan Solicitation and Processing. Loan applicants come primarily through the efforts of the Bank’s loan officers who seek out existing customers, referrals by realtors, previous and present customers of the Bank, business acquaintances, and walk-ins. Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report and other data are obtained to verify specific information relating to the loan applicant’s employment, income and credit standing. On mortgage loans, an appraisal of the real estate offered as collateral generally is undertaken by an independent fee appraiser certified by the State of Florida.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. The Bank’s primary lending focus is making commercial mortgage loans to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate and construction properties. Commercial mortgage loans are generally secured by first liens on real estate, and typically have variable rates and amortize over a 15 to 25 year period, with balloon payments due at the end of five to ten years. At December 31, 2007, commercial mortgage loans represented 69% of the total loan portfolio compared to 59% and 64% at December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. The average balance of commercial mortgage loans was $268.5 million for 2007, $162.0 million for 2006 and $123.1 million for 2005. Income from these loans totaled $22.5 million, $14.4 million and $9.7 million for 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Another of the Bank’s lending focus is making mortgage loans to finance the purchase of residential real property, which generally consists of improved one to four family and multi family properties. Residential mortgage loans are generally secured by first liens on real estate, and typically have variable rates and amortize over a 15 to 25 year period. At December 31, 2007 residential real estate loans represented 15% of the total loan portfolio compared to 26% and 23% at December 31, 2006 and 2005 respectively. The average balance of residential real estate loans was $77.1 million for 2007, $62.4 million for 2006 and $34.5 million for 2005. Income from these loans totaled $6.4 million, $5.6 million, $2.7 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Commercial Loans. A third lending focus of the Bank is to small and medium-sized businesses in a variety of industries. The Bank makes a broad range of short- and medium-term commercial lending products available to businesses, including working capital lines, purchases of machinery, and business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements). At December 31, 2007 commercial loans represented 8% of the total loan portfolio compared to 10% of the portfolio at December 31, 2006 and compared to 12% at December 31, 2005. The average balance of commercial loans was $33.4 million for 2006, $25.6 million for 2006 and $26.9 million for 2005. Income from these loans totaled $3.0 million for 2007 compared to $2.4 million and $2.2 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Consumer Lending. The Bank offers a variety of loan and deposit products and services to retail customers through its branch network. Loans to retail customers include residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, automobile loans, and other personal loans. At December 31, 2007, consumer loans represented 8% of the total loan portfolio compared to 5% and 1% of the portfolio at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 respectively. The average balance of consumer loans was $29.1 million for 2007 and $5.0 million and $3.6 for 2005. Income from these loans totaled $2.1 million for 2007 and $386,000 and $276,000 for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2007 fixed rate loans due after one year are approximately $93.6 million and adjustable rate loans due after one year are approximately $192.1 million.

Asset Quality. Management seeks to maintain a high quality of assets through conservative underwriting and sound lending practices. The earning asset portfolio (exclusive of investment securities) is generally split into five categories, four of which are types of loans, and the fifth is other which includes overdrafts. Loan concentrations are defined as loans outstanding that are segregated into similar collateral types and/or nature of cash-flow income generation, which may cause a correspondingly similar impact with a particular economic or other condition. We routinely monitor these concentrations in order to make necessary adjustments in lending practices that most clearly reflect the economic conditions and trends, loan ratios, loan covenants, asset valuations, and industry trends.

The percentage of loans in each category to total gross loans as of December 31, are as follows (Note: the table excludes overdrafts as they collectively represent less than one percent of the total):

	2007		2006		2005		2004		2003
Commercial loans		8%		10%		12%		13%		34%
Commercial real estate loans		69%		59%		64%		70%		56%
Residential real estate loans		15%		26%		23%		15%		4%
Consumer and home equity		8%		5%		1%		2%		6%
Total before allowance for loan losses		100%		100%		100%		100%		100%

In an effort to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio, management seeks to minimize higher risk loans. In view of the relative significance of real estate related loans, a downturn in the value of real estate property could continue to have an adverse impact on profitability. As part of the Bank’s loan policy and loan management strategy, we typically limit our loan-to-value ratio to a maximum of 60% to 80% depending on the type of real property being secured. The use of qualified third party state certified appraisers for property valuations, and property inspections by knowledgeable bank officials helps mitigate real property loan risks.

The loan and discount committee of the board of directors of the Bank concentrates its efforts and resources and that of its senior management and lending officers on loan review and underwriting procedures and standards. Internal controls include ongoing reviews of loans made to monitor documentation and ensure the existence and valuations of collateral, early detection of loan degradation, property inspections and review of regional economic conditions.

Regulatory Classification of Assets. Our regulators consider loan assets to be classified when they are recorded in our records in the classifications of substandard, doubtful or loss. As of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the total dollar value of our classified assets was $12.0 million, $12.0 million and $2.3 million respectively.

34

There were seventeen loans classified at the end of 2007. Only three loans totaling $591,000 of this amount were included in the $12.0 million balance at the end of 2006. The increase in classified loans in 2006 compared to 2005 was due to the downgrading of one commercial real estate construction loan that incurred cost overruns prompting the bank to advance additional funds and obtain additional collateral, as well as approximately $2.8 million of impaired loans acquired in the Beach Bank transaction.

Generally, interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the outstanding balance of the contract obligations of each loan or receivable contract. It is the Bank’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify loans or assets as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and/or the loan is not properly and/or adequately collateralized, or if in the belief of the Bank’s management, principal and/or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation and/or documentation. As of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, delinquent and non accrual loans greater than 90 days past due totaled $6.7 million, $953,000, and $290,000 respectively.

Foreclosed Assets. Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as other real estate owned (“OREO”) if real estate, or in other assets, if other property, until they are sold. These amounts are recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell the property, with any difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan being charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the assets at the time of transfer. Those subsequent changes, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense. At December 31, 2007, the Bank held $587,000 of OREO. The Bank held no OREO and repossessions at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Non-performing Assets. Non-performing assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more which are still accruing interest, loans on nonaccrual status and other real estate owned and other foreclosed assets. The following table sets forth information with respect to non-performing assets identified by the Bank for the years ended December 31:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Allocation of the allowance is made for analytical purposes only, and the entire allowance is available to absorb probable and estimable credit losses inherent in the portfolio. Additions to the allowance may result from recording provision for loan losses or loan recoveries, while charge-offs are deducted from the allowance. Management estimates the allowance for loan loss balance required by using 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. For analytical purposes, the allowance consists of two components, non-specific and specific.

Non-Specific Allowance: The methodology used in establishing non-specific allowances is based on a broad risk analysis of the portfolio. All significant portfolio segments, including concentrations, are analyzed. The amount of the non-specific allowance is based upon a statistical analysis that derives appropriate formulas, which are adjusted by management’s subjective assessment of current and future conditions related to the economy, our geographic location and other factors. The determination includes an analysis of loss and recovery experience in the various portfolio segments over at least the last three fiscal years. Results of the historical loss analysis are adjusted to reflect current and anticipated conditions.

35

Specific Allowance: All significant commercial and industrial loans that are classified as either “substandard” or “doubtful” are reviewed at the end of each period to determine if a specific reserve is needed for that credit. The determination of a specific reserve for an impaired asset is evaluated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, and a specific reserve is very common for significant credits classified as either “substandard” or “doubtful.” The establishment of a specific reserve does not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve will definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It is only an estimation of potential loss based upon anticipated events.

Allowance for Loan Loss Activity. The allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 2007 was $6.8 million compared to $3.1 million and $2.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The 2007, 2006 and 2004 allowance for loan losses included an allocated allowance of $907,000, $562,000 and $458,000 related to acquisition of a loan portfolios in various acquisition transactions. Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, are as follows:

The adjustment in 2007, 2006 and in 2004 is the allowance required on acquisition of loans from the Independent Community Bank, Beach Bank and the Gulf Bank transactions, respectively, and exclusive of loans accounted under SOP 03-3.

Through the review of the loan portfolio, management determined that additional provisions were required in 2007 due to: a) increased charge offs of loans for which repayment is uncertain; b) increased provisions to reflect the enhanced level of inherent risk in the portfolio due to the geographic and economic conditions in our market place, and; c) growth of the loan portfolio. Increased provisions during 2006 and 2005 were due to portfolio growth. Management believes that the allowance for loan loss was adequate in relation to the overall loan portfolio based upon current market conditions.

36

The allowance is allocated to specific categories of loans for statistical purposes only, and may be applied to loan losses incurred in any loan category. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	2007		2006		2005		2004		2003
Commercial loans	$	474	$	579	$	254	$	218	$	251

Investment Activities

The Bank is permitted under federal and state law to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank, certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, we may also invest a portion of our assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. As a Federal Reserve Bank member bank, we are required to maintain an investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank and is required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Under state and federal regulations, a certain amount of the investments must be liquid in nature.

SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” requires the investments be categorized as “held to maturity,” “trading securities” or “available for sale,” based on management’s intent as to the ultimate disposition of each security. SFAS No. 115 allows debt securities to be classified as “held to maturity” and reported in financial statements at amortized cost only if the reporting entity has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that might be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security’s prepayment risk, increases in loan demand, or other similar factors cannot be classified as “held to maturity.” Debt and equity securities held for current resale are classified as “trading securities.” Such securities are reported at fair value, and unrealiz ed gains and losses on such securities would be included in earnings. Debt and equity securities not classified as either “held to maturity” or “trading securities” are classified as “available for sale.” Such securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses on such securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate component of equity.

A committee consisting of Bank officers and Directors determines appropriate investments in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved investment policies and procedures. The Bank’s investment policies generally limit investments to U.S. government and agency securities, municipal bonds, certificates of deposits, marketable corporate debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities and certain types of mutual funds. The Bank’s investment policy does not permit engaging directly in hedging activities or purchasing high risk mortgage derivative products. Investments are made based on certain considerations, which include the interest rate, yield, settlement date and maturity of the investment, the liquidity position, and anticipated cash needs and sources (which in turn include outstanding commitments, upcoming maturities, estimated deposits and anticipated loan amortization and repayments). The effect that the proposed investm ent would have on our credit and interest rate risk, and risk-based capital is also given consideration during the evaluation.

Mortgage-backed securities (which also are known as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates) typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages. The principal and interest payments on these mortgages are passed from the mortgage originators, through intermediaries (generally U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises) that pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Company. Such U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Government National Mortgage Association. Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that fall within a specific range and ha ve varying maturities. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. In addition, mortgage-backed securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize certain of the Bank’s liabilities and obligations. These types of securities also permit the Bank to improve its regulatory capital because they have a low risk capital weighting.

Investment Portfolio. The Company’s investment securities portfolio consists of high quality securities. The maturity distribution of the securities portfolio is reflected in the following table (except for the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund which has no fixed maturity date). The average yield for our investment portfolio increased marginally to 4.73% at December 31, 2007 compared to 4.48% at December 31, 2006 and to 4.08% at December 31, 2005.

Valuation of Securities. The Company records securities available for sale in its statement of financial condition at fair value. The Company uses market price quotes for valuation. Equity securities available for sale trade daily on various stock exchanges. The fair value of these securities in the Company’s statement of financial condition was based on the closing price quotations at period end. The closing quotation represents inter-dealer quotations without retail markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily represent actual transactions. The number of shares that the Company owns in some of these equity securities may be in excess of the securities average daily trading volume. As a consequence, the Company may not be able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. Equity securities available for sale are adjusted to fair value monthly with a corresponding increase or decrease to other comprehensive income. Declines in the fair value of individual securities available for sale below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value.

At December 31, 2007, the fair value and gross unrealized loss associated with our securities available for sale was $5.8 million and $313,000, respectively. This compared to fair value and gross unrealized loss of $5.2 million and $337,000, respectively at December 31, 2006 and to $5.2 million and $306,000, respectively at December 31, 2005.

Liquidity. Regulatory agencies require that the Bank maintain sufficient liquidity to operate in a sound and safe manner. The principal sources of liquidity and funding are generated by the operations of the Bank through its diverse deposit base, loan participations and other asset/liability measures. For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet loan commitments, withdrawals of deposit funds, and operating expenses. The level and maturity of deposits

38

necessary to support the lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand and through its asset/liability management process. Considerations in managing the liquidity position include scheduled cash flows from existing assets, contingencies and liabilities, as well as projected liquidity conducive to efficient operations and are continuously evaluated as part of the asset/liability management process. Historically, the Bank has increased its level of deposits to allow for its planned asset growth. The level of deposits is influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, among other things. South Florida is a fast growing area with intense competition from other financial service providers. Management has found that adjusting pricing, or introducing new products, produces increased deposit growth. Adjusting the rate paid on money market and NOW accounts can quickly adjust the level of deposits.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The Bank accesses this vehicle to add liquidity to its business as needed. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $78 million of Federal Home Loan Bank fixed rate advances to assist in funding its loan portfolio growth compared to $11 million at December 31, 2006 and to $21 million at December 31, 2005. The Bank increased its usage of FHLB funding significantly in the fourth quarter of 2007 to replace certificate of deposit maturities that were not renewed. At the time, the interest rates on FHLB funds were favorable compared to certificate of deposit rates due to tightened liquidity conditions in the market.

The Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB. See notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these advances. Liquidity at December 31, 2007, consisted of $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.8 million in available-for-sale investments, for a total of $13.9 million of liquid funds. This compared to a total of $61.6 million of liquidity at the end of 2006 and to $32.8 million of liquidity at year end 2005. This reduction of liquidity at the end of 2007 reflected the tightened liquidity conditions in the market as noted above. The Company intentionally reduced its holdings of excess cash to reduce funding expense.

If additional liquidity is needed, the Bank has established a correspondent banking relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida. This relationship provides the Bank with the ability to borrow from an unsecured line of credit to supplement liquidity up to the amount of $10.0 million. Interest is calculated on any outstanding balance at the prevailing market federal funds rate plus an intermediary fee. The Bank also has the ability to sell investments from the portfolio under a repurchase agreement with this correspondent bank. Similarly, at December 31, 2007, the Company maintained two separate secured lines of credit totaling $5.0 million with Independent Bankers Bank of which $2.7 million was outstanding at year end. Borrowings on this secured line of credit were repaid to Independent Bankers Bank in January 2008 and were replaced with a secured line of credit with Silverton Bank in the amount of up to $8.0 mil lion. See notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these lines of credit.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity

The liability side of the balance sheet has great significance to the profitable operation of a bank. Deposits are the major source of the Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. Deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank’s primary market area through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments including NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts and certificates of deposits (known as CD’s). Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by the Bank on a periodic basis. The determination of rates and terms is predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and Federal regulations.

Deposits and loan repayments are the major sources of funds for lending and other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates and money market conditions. The Bank may use borrowings through correspondent banks on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. The Bank maintains a membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank which acts as an alternate source for borrowing as needed. Periodically the Bank may purchase broker deposits to supplement deposits gathered through the branch network in order to fund loans as required.

Deposit Accounts.

Most of the Bank’s depositors are residents of the State of Florida. Deposits are attracted from within the Bank’s market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, regular checking accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods

39

the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers current market interest rates, profitability to the Bank, matching deposit and loan products and its customer preferences and concerns. The Bank reviews its deposit mix and pricing weekly.

Low cost demand and savings deposits represent an important part of the deposit mix for the Bank which has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposits, because of the Bank’s policy of relationship banking. Money market accounts are priced competitively within the Bank’s market area of Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. Management can attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on such accounts, which are very liquid. The Bank also offers a wide variety of terms and rates for certificates of deposit as needed to attract funds and match competitors. The primary factors in the competition for deposits are interest rates, level of personalized service, the quality and range of financial services, convenience of office locations and office hours. Competition for deposits comes primarily from other commercial banks, savings associations, credit unions, money market mutual funds and other investment alternatives. Our customers have access to ATMs, safe deposit boxes, wire transfer, lockbox services, ACH origination, business debit cards, direct deposit and on-line banking services. In addition, businesses can use the Bank’s merchant credit card program.

In determining the terms of the deposit accounts, management considers current market interest rates, profitability to the Bank, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. The Bank currently offers certificates of deposit for terms not exceeding 60 months. As a result, management believes that it is better able to match the repricing of liabilities to the repricing of the loan portfolio. Management reviews the Bank’s deposit mix and pricing weekly. From time to time management will supplement the level of CD’s by purchasing them through a brokerage facility. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $24.1 million of deposits outstanding that had been facilitated through brokerage relationships. This compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2006 and to $13.0 million at December 31, 2005.

Deposit Balances and Rates. The following table sets forth the average balances of the deposit portfolio of the Bank for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Management views the deposit base as a good core deposit base that is stable. Non-interest bearing transaction accounts are on a demand basis, and as such, balances continually fluctuate.

Correspondent Relationships. Correspondent banking involves one bank providing services to another bank which cannot provide that service itself for economic or organizational reasons. The Bank purchases correspondent services offered by other banks, including check collections, purchase of federal funds, security safekeeping, investment services, coin and currency supplies and lines of credit, liquidity loan participations, and sales of loans to or loan participation with correspondent banks. The Bank also sells loan participations to correspondent banks with respect to loans which exceed the Bank’s lending limit.

The Bank has an established correspondent relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida with respect to the foregoing services. As compensation for services provided by a correspondent, the Bank maintains certain balances with the correspondent in non-interest bearing accounts. Such compensating balances are not considered significant to the operations of the Bank. In January 2008 the Company transferred its line of credit from Independent Bankers Bank to Silverton Bank. There was $2.7 million of borrowings outstanding on the line at December 31, 2007.

Borrowings. The Bank has the ability to borrow from its correspondent banks to supplement the supply of funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Advances are made pursuant to limitations on the amount of advances and are based on the financial condition of the member institution as well as the value and acceptability of collateral pledged.

In addition, we pledge securities to secure repurchase agreements. Additional details regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase for 2007, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

	2007			2006			2005

Average interest rate paid at year end		4.86	%		4.14	%		3.45	%

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Outstanding advances carry a fixed rate of interest and were $78 million, $11 million and $21 million at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB. Please refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Equity and Capital Resources. The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal and State banking authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if not undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements and operation. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

The capital accounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. Quantitative and qualitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios, set forth in the table as of December 31, 2007 below, of total and Tier-1 capital, as defined by regulation, to risk weighted assets, and of Tier-1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of December 31, 2007 it has met the capital adequacy requirements as defined by these definitions.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007

General. Total assets increased by $74.0 million or 15% from $503.9 million at December 31, 2006 to $577.7 million at December 31, 2007. Net loans increased by $89.2 million, or 25%, to $440.0 million at December 31, 2007 from $350.7 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in these earning assets was due to the acquisition of $103.3 million of loans in connection with the Independent Community Bank merger and was offset by net reductions in the overall loan portfolio of $14.1 million during the year. Securities decreased by $1.3 million, or 2.3%, to $56.1 million at December 31, 2007 from $57.4 million at December 31, 2006. The increase of $12.2 million in securities acquired through the Independent Community Bank merger were offset by maturities and calls on the portfolio throughout 2007.

The Company is committed to expanding its business through internal growth as well as through select purchase opportunities when determined to be beneficial, while maintaining strong asset quality and maintaining a well capitalized position. Management’s strategy for achieving these objectives includes continuing our primary focus of increasing originations of commercial loans at appropriate yields for enhancing interest income, and improving our efficiency and controlling operating costs. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $8.1 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $56.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease of $48.3 million was primarily due to using our excess cash to run off higher cost deposit liabilities throughout the year in an effort to reduce interest expense.

Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity. The securities portfolio decreased $1.3 million, or 2.3%, to $56.1 million at December 31, 2007 from $57.4 million at December 31, 2006. The increase of $12.2 million in securities acquired through the Independent Community Bank merger were offset by maturities and calls on the portfolio throughout 2007. The weighted average portfolio yield increased modestly to 4.73% at December 31, 2007, from 4.48% at December 31, 2006. The investment strategy for 2007 was to focus on the acquisition of high quality fixed income investments with a term to maturity that did not exceed fifteen years. Management believes that laddered investment purchases within this time frame provided the best opportunities to maximize investment yield.

Net Loans. Net loans were $440.0 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $89.2 million, or 25%, from $350.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of $103.3 million of loans in connection with the Independent Community Bank merger and was offset by a net reduction of $14.1 million in the overall portfolio due to maturities, loan sales, prepayments in excess of new loan originations, and a net increase to the allowance for loan loss.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, the Company has recognized and will continue to recognize losses resulting from the inability of certain borrowers to repay loans and the insufficient realizable value of collateral securing such loans. Accordingly, the Company has established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $6.5 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $3.4 million. The 2007 increase in allowance for loan losses included new loan provisions of $4.5 million and a reserve increase for the acquired Independent Community Bank loan portfolio of $907,000 and was offset by net charge offs of $2.0 million. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated credit losses. Management’s monthly evaluation of the

46

adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates of material factors including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The Company’s allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at December 31, 2007 for expected losses based upon market conditions in place at that time.

Impaired loans were $12.0 million at December 31, 2007, compared to the same level of $12.0million for December 31, 2006. During 2007, the Bank was able to sell or discontinue the funding for most of the loans that comprised the 2006 classified loan balance. New classified loans arising in 2007 comprised of commercial construction and vacant land loans for which the viability of repayment had deteriorated in the year.

Assets which are classified are those deemed by management as inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets which are classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Non-performing assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more which are still accruing interest, loans on nonaccrual status and OREO and other foreclosed assets.

On January 11, 2008 the Bank sold a $1.7 million condominium construction loan subsequently reducing non-performing assets from $7.3 million to $5.6 million.

Total non-performing assets increased by $6.3 million to $7.3 million at December 31, 2007 from $953,000 at December 31, 2006. Accrual loans over 90 days past due were $0 at December 31, 2007 compared to $500,000 at December 31, 2006. The majority of the nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2007 consisted of commercial and vacant land loans that are secured by real estate. Other real estate owned was $587,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to nil at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2007, management believed that all non-performing assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $11.2 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2006. The increase of 13% is primarily due to opening of two new branches in 2007 and the acquisition of one new branch in the Independent Community Bank merger.

Goodwill and other Identified Intangibles. Our goodwill and intangible assets increased by $25.9 million in 2007 to $45.1 million from $19.2 million at December 31, 2006. This increase is attributed to the purchase price premium and certain capitalized costs incurred in the Independent Community Bank merger and offset by a $2.1 million downward revision in goodwill attributed to the Beach Bank acquisition.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits decreased by $22.3 million at December 31, 2007 from December 31, 2006. During the year, deposit balances were increased by $128.6 million through the merger with Independent Community Bank. However, in an effort to realign the level of deposits with loan funding needs, the Bank engaged in a planned run off of higher cost deposits throughout 2007 and replaced higher cost certificates of deposit with lower cost FHLB borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2007. In the South Florida market, the Bank has generally been able to attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts. When additional funds are needed to fulfill lending commitments, the Bank can, by means of marketing efforts and by adjusting the interest paid on deposits accounts, attract new deposits and retain existing accounts. In addition, the Bank can utilize institutional (broker) dep osits on a limited basis. At December 31, 2007, brokered deposits were $24.1 million compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2006.

Debt. At December 31, 2007, the Bank maintained an unsecured line of credit of $10.0 million and the Company maintained two secured, revolving credit lines totaling $5.0 million, each with Independent Bankers Bank, to meet interim liquidity needs. At December 31, 2007, the Company had borrowed $2.7 million on its credit lines to finance a series of warrant buy backs under related tender offers as well as to finance the re-purchase of 302,510 shares of the Company’s common stock. There were no borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2006.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings at December 31, 2007 amounted to $78.0 million, compared to $11.0 million at December 31, 2006. The Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Bank increased its borrowings from FHLB to offset the reduction in certificates of deposits. The Bank reduced its exposure to the certificates of deposits due to the higher interest rate required on them in order to retain them.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $15.0 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2006. The increase was due to repurchase agreements assumed in the Independent Community Bank merger and to borrow on a secured basis from a correspondent bank.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital. Total shareholders’ equity was $97.8 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $13.3 million, or 16%, from $84.5 million at December 31, 2006. New capital of $22.0 million was issued in the Independent Community Bank merger and an increase to capital was recorded in the amount of $1.0 million for the offset to stock option expense. This increase in capital issued was offset by the net loss of $3.1 million in the year, warrant and common stock buy backs totaling $3.6 million and a $3.0 million reduction of capital stock that is to be returned to the Company in connection with the refund due in the Beach Bank acquisition.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets as well as maintaining minimum leverage ratios. The Bank’s risk-weighted, Tier 1 risk-weighted, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 12.3%, 11.0% and 9.8% at December 31, 2007 and 16.3%, 15.5% and 16.2% at December 31, 2006. Based on these ratios, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized”.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006

General. Total assets increased by $226.7 million, or 82%, from $277.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $503.9 million at December 31, 2006, of which $100.6 million was due to internal growth and $126.1 million of which was due to the asset acquisition of Beach Bank, which was completed in December 2006. Net loans increased by $140.0 million, or 66%, to $350.7 million at December 31, 2006 from $210.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in these earning assets was the result of additional loan originations from the Bank’s branch network and the acquisition of $68.0 million of loans in connection with the Beach Bank asset acquisition. Securities increased $31.0 million, or 118%, to $57.4 million at December 31, 2006 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2005. $23.7 million, or 76%, of the increase in the securities portfolio was du e to the acquisition of securities from Beach Bank.

The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $56.4 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $27.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of $28.8 million was primarily due to cash of $17.9 million acquired in connection with the Beach Bank asset acquisition. The increase was also due to receipt of proceeds from our fourth quarter deposit gathering efforts.

Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity. As part of the current investment strategy, the securities portfolio increased $31.0 million, or 118%, to $57.4 million at December 31, 2006 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2005. $23.7 million, or 76%, of the increase in the securities portfolio was due to the acquisition of securities from Beach Bank. The Company attempted to earn more income from the investment portfolio by investing surplus cash in higher yielding securities while balancing this with the liquidity needed for loan funding. The investment strategy for 2006 was to focus on the acquisition of high quality fixed income investments with terms to maturity that do not exceed fifteen years. Management believes that laddered investment purchases within this time frame provided the best opportunities to maximize investment yield.

Net Loans. Net loans were $350.7 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $140.0 million, or 66%, from $210.7 million at December 31, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from the net increases in residential and commercial real estate loan production through internal growth and the acquisition of $68.0 million of loans in connection with the Beach Bank asset acquisition.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, the Company has recognized and will continue to recognize losses resulting from the inability of certain borrowers to repay loans and the insufficient realizable value of collateral securing such loans. Accordingly, the Company has established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $3.1 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses included an increase of $562,000 in 2006 to provide an additional amount of allowance for loan losses in connection with the acquisition of $68.0 million of loans from Beach Bank. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated credit losses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inheren t risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates of material factors including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The Company’s allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at December 31, 2006 for expected losses.

Impaired loans increased from $2.3 million, at December 31, 2005, to $12.0 million, at December 31, 2006. The increase was due to the downgrading of one construction loan that incurred cost overruns prompting the bank to advance additional funds and to approximately $2.8 million of impaired loans from the Beach Bank transaction. Assets which are classified are those deemed by management as inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets which are classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Total non-performing assets increased $663,000 to $953,000 at December 31, 2006 from $290,000 at December 31, 2005. Accrual loans over 90 days past due were $500,000 at December 31, 2006 compared to $0 at December 31, 2005. All of the $453,000 of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006 consists of commercial loans that are secured by equipment. Of this amount $220,000 is subject to a Small Business Administration loan guarantee. There was no other real estate owned at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, management believed that all non-performing assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $9.9 million at December 31, 2006, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of 395% is primarily due to our branch expansion efforts conducted in 2006 where we financed the buildout of five new branches and one operations center during the year.

Goodwill and other Identified Intangibles. Our goodwill and intangible assets increased by $13.2 million in 2006 to $19.2 million from $6.0 million at December 31, 2005. This increase is attributed to the purchase price premium and certain capitalizable costs incurred on the Beach Bank acquisition transaction.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased by $209.5 million at December 31, 2006 from December 31, 2005, of which approximately $105.9 million was as a result of the Beach Bank acquisition and approximately $103.6 million was generated through internal growth. Most of the internal growth in deposit balances occurred in our NOW account and certificate of deposit balances as the Bank ran various promotions in 2006 to attract new customers. At December 31, 2006, brokered deposits were $8.3 million compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2005.

Debt: The Bank maintains an unsecured line of credit of $5.0 million and the Company maintains a $2.0 million revolving credit line, each with Independent Bankers Bank, to meet interim liquidity needs. There were no borrowings outstanding under these unsecured lines of credit as of December 31, 2006 or as of December 31, 2005.

50

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings. FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2006 amounted to $11.0 million, compared to $21.0 million at December 31, 2005. We retired $10 million of FHLB debt in 2006 because the growth of our core deposits was sufficient to meet our asset funding requirements.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.5 million at December 31, 2006 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was due to repurchase agreements assumed in the Beach Bank acquisition transaction.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital. Total shareholders’ equity was $84.5 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $24.9 million, or 42%, from $59.6 million at December 31, 2005. $18.2 million of this increase was due to the issuance of 3,704,000 shares of common stock in connection with the closing of the Beach Bank asset acquisition on December 29, 2006. In addition, we received $3.1 million in additional capital through the exercise of warrants and options.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets as well as maintaining minimum leverage ratios. The Bank’s risk-weighted, Tier 1 risk-weighted, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 16.3%, 15.5% and 16.2% at December 31, 2006 and 21.8%, 20.9% and 19.6% at December 31, 2005. Based on these ratios, the Bank was considered to be “well capitalized”.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 as compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

In this section, unless the context provides otherwise, references to 2007 and 2006 are to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net loss for 2007 was $3.1 million, compared to net income of $3.2 million for 2006. The loss for 2007 was primarily due to higher loan loss provisions of $4.5 million compared to $338,000 in 2006. In addition, the reported 2006 results included the recognition of a one time $1.2 million income tax benefit as a result of a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2007 was $19.9 million, compared to $15.2 million for 2006, an increase of $4.7 million, or 31%. Interest income and fees on loans increased by $13.3 million, or 53%, in 2007 as compared to 2006. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding of 60% to $408.0 million for 2007 from $255.0 million for 2006 primarily as a result of the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger.

Income from investments including interest earning deposits, securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock increased to $4.3 million from $2.3 million in 2006. This was an increase of $2.0 million, or 89%, and was due primarily to a $34.1 million, or 70% increase in average volume of investments during the period as well as a 52 basis point increase in average yield.

Interest income and fees on loans increased by $11.3 million, or 49%, in 2007 as compared to 2006. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding to $408.0 million for 2007 from $255.0 million for 2006. The increase related to volume was offset somewhat by lower average interest yields experienced by the Bank on the overall loan portfolio in 2007 of 8.35% compared to 8.95% in 2006. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 7.82% for 2007, a 45 basis point decrease from 8.27% for 2006, primarily as a result of reduced yields in the loan portfolio due to competitive pressures and falling interest rates in the last half of 2007 which reduced yields on variable rate loans.

Total interest expense increased $8.5 million, or 86%, from $9.9 million for 2006 to $18.4 million for 2007. The increase in interest expense primarily was the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $392.4 million for 2007 from $230.0 million for 2006 as well as an increase average rate paid of 40 basis points from 4.30% in 2006 to 4.70% in 2007. As part of the increase in average interest bearing deposits, the average balance of FHLB borrowings was increased by $17.8 million in 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses. Although management uses its best judgment in underwriting each loan, industry experience indicates that a portion of our loans will become delinquent. Regardless of the underwriting criteria utilized by financial institutions, they may experience losses as a result of many factors beyond their control including among other things, changes in market conditions affecting the value of security and unrelated problems affecting the credit of the borrower. Due to the concentration of loans in South Florida, adverse economic conditions in this area could result in a decrease in the value of a significant portion of the Bank’s collateral securing the loans.

51

The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $4.5 million compared to $338,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Additional provision for loan losses was required in 2007 because of the deteriorating value of collateral on select loans within the portfolio. These deteriorating values were in turn due to the less favorable economic environment for loans in our geographic markets. The Bank increased the provision requirements in its allowance for loan loss methodology to reflect a higher percentage required for both the historical loan losses and the vacant land components. These increased percentages were applied to the higher overall portfolio balance and resulted in the increased loan loss provisions.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $1.1 million, or 130%, from $859,000 in 2006 to $2.0 million in 2007. This increase was due to applying the Bank’s standard fees across a larger client base in 2007 that was created due to the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger. Fees were earned on insufficient funds balances, uncollected funds and service charges.

Noninterest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $8.3 million, or 60%, from $13.8 million for 2006 to $22.1 million for 2007. The increase in noninterest expenses reflects the impact of the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger as well as the operational costs for two new branches opened during 2007.

Salaries and benefits increased to $10.1 million in 2007 from $7.2 million in 2006. This reflects an increase of $2.9 million, or 42%. The increase was primarily due to salary costs for the addition of approximately 18 people in 2007 that were retained in connection with the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger. It also reflects selected other staff additions in the loan department and annual salary increases for existing staff. Salaries in 2007 include $985,000 for stock compensation expense required under FAS 123R compared to $610,000 in 2006.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $5.8 million in 2007 from $3.0 million in 2006, an increase of $2.8 million, or 94%. This increase was due to three new leases that the Bank entered into in connection with the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger as well as a $292,000 charge for obsolete fixed assets associated with the demolition of one of our branches. In addition, occupancy expense increased for two new branches that were opened in 2007 and for the difference between a full year of occupancy expense for five new branches opened in 2006 rather than the partial year expense incurred in 2006.

Data and item processing costs increased by $466,000, or 65%, to $1.2 million for 2007 from $722,000 for 2006. The increase was due to the higher volume of client accounts due to the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger which resulted in a higher volume of transactions processed. In addition, the Bank incurred $199,000 for the one-time operational conversions of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank.

Other expenses increased to $4.9 million in 2007 from $2.9 million in 2006. This represented an increase of $2.0 million, or 70%, and reflected the larger size of the Bank across most areas of our business due to the Beach Bank asset acquisition and the Independent Community Bank merger. Professional fees in 2007 were $1.4 million compared to $700,000 in 2006. The biggest component of this increase was for legal expenses incurred in connection with loan workouts including a non-recurring litigation settlement of $77,000. Insurance costs for 2007 were $603,000 compared to $253,000 in 2006. The increase in insurance costs was due in part to increased FDIC insurance costs of $190,000. FDIC insurance costs increased due to higher FDIC charges and due to the run off of an FDIC credit that the Bank benefited from in 2006. Amortization of core deposit intangibles amounted to $794,000 for 2007 compared to $149,000 in 2006. The increase of $645,000 is due to the acquisition of Beach Bank and merger with Independent Community Bank.

Provision for Income Taxes. In 2007 we recorded an income tax recovery of $1.6 million due to the operating loss incurred in the year. In 2006 we recorded a net tax benefit of $1.2 million due to the reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $2.2 million based upon management’s assessment and expectation of generating sufficient future taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets in the future. This was partially offset by $952,000 of income tax expense for 2006.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2006

In this section, unless the context provides otherwise, references to 2006 and 2005 are to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net income for 2006 was $3.2 million, compared to net income of $2.9 million for 2005. Earnings for 2006 as compared to 2005 were primarily impacted by a $3.9 million increase in

52

net interest income and a $1.2 million income tax benefit as a result of a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, which were partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2006 was $15.2 million, compared to $11.3 million for 2005, an increase of $3.9 million, or 35%. Interest income and fees on loans increased by $8.0 million, or 54%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding of 36% to $255.0 million for 2006 from $188.1 million for 2005.

Income from investments including interest earning deposits, securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock increased by 90%, or $1.1million, from $1.2 million for 2005, due primarily to a $17.4 million, or 56% increase in average volume of investments during the period as well as a 85 basis point increase in average yield. The average interest yield on investments increased to 4.50% in 2006 from 4.02% in 2005.

Interest income and fees on loans increased by $8.0 million, or 54%, in 2006 as compared to 2005. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding to $255.0 million for 2005 from $188.1 million for 2005. The increase related to volume was enhanced by higher average interest yields experienced by the Bank on the overall loan portfolio in 2006 of 8.95% compared to 7.89% in 2005. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 8.27% for 2006, a 95 basis point increase from 7.32% for 2005, primarily as a result of improved yields in the loan portfolio due to increasing market interest rates on variable rate loans.

Total interest expense increased $5.2 million, or 109%, from $4.7 million for 2005 to $9.9 million for 2006. The increase in interest expense primarily was the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $250.9 million for 2006 from $137.7 million for 2005

The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $212.5 million for 2006 from $137.7 million for 2005. The average balance of NOW and money market accounts accounted for most of the volume increase in 2006. These balances increased by $73.9 million or 233% in 2006. When additional funds were needed to fulfill lending commitments and securities purchases, management increased deposits by promoting and adjusting the interest rate paid on deposit accounts. The average balance of FHLB borrowings was decreased by $4.2 million in 2006. FHLB borrowings were not renewed when they matured as the Bank had sufficient growth of core deposits to support funding needs. In addition to the increase in the average balance of deposits there was an increase in the yield paid on interest-bearing deposits and liabilities to 4.30% for 2006 from 2.98% for 2005 due to the rising interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $338,000 compared to $475,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Through the normal review of the allowance for loan losses, and despite the increase in the loan portfolio and an increase in impaired loans from $2.3 million to $12.0 million, management reduced the provision for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2006 by $457,000, which resulted in a reduced allowance for loan losses. The reduction of our allowance for loan losses was due to improved historic performance of the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased by $215,000, or 20%, from $1.1 million in 2005 to $859,000 in 2006. This decrease was due to a planned change to our funds availability policy favorable to clients resulting in lower fee income from insufficient funds, uncollected funds and service charges.

Noninterest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $4.8 million, or 53%, from $9.0 million for 2005 to $13.8 million for 2006. The increase in noninterest expenses reflects the impact of the internal growth of the Bank in 2006 through growth of the number of people, additional branches and other infrastructure improvements.

Salaries and benefits increased to $7.2 million in 2006 from $4.2 million in 2005. This reflects an increase of $3.0 million, or 71%. The increase was primarily due to the addition of 28 people in 2006 to service our larger banking operation as well as salary increases for existing staff. Salaries in 2006 also increased by $609,000 in 2006 for stock compensation expense required under FAS 123R compared to $0 in 2005.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $3.0 million in 2006 from $1.7 million in 2005, an increase of $1.3 million, or 76%. This increase was due to new leases that the Bank entered into for five new branch locations as well as our new operations center. Data and item processing costs increased by $224,000, or 45%, to $722,000 for 2006 from $498,000 for 2005. The increase was due to the growth in our number of clients and the volume of transactions processed for our larger banking business in 2006.

53

Other expenses increased to $2.9 million in 2006 from $2.5 million in 2005. This represented an increase of $400,000, or 16%, and reflected the larger size of the Bank across most areas of our business. In addition, we incurred costs of $235,000 related to a major advertising campaign in connection with our name change in 2006 that was not incurred in 2005. During this period, the Company allocated more resources to meet regulatory compliance requirements particularly for the Bank Secrecy and Patriot Acts, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded a net tax benefit of $1.2 million in 2006. The net tax benefit was the result of a reduction in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $2.2 million based upon management’s assessment and expectation of generating sufficient future taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets in the future. This was partially offset by $952,000 of income tax expense for 2006. No provision for income taxes was recorded in 2005 as a result of decreasing the valuation allowance for the realizable portion of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance decreased $1.0 million in 2005 eliminating the need to provide for income tax expense.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk. The Bank’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure of our financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. The Bank’s income is derived primarily from the excess of interest collected on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The rates of interest earned on assets and owed on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Because market interest rates change over time, the Bank is exposed to lower profitability if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Accepting interest rate risk can be an important source of profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to our earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to our safety and s oundness. The Bank’s interest rate risk is monitored using its GAP analysis on a monthly basis.

We do not currently engage in trading activities or use derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such activities may be permitted with the approval of the board of directors, management does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate future.

Asset/Liability Management. A principal objective of the Bank’s asset/liability management strategy is to minimize its exposure to changes in interest rates by combination of matching and mis-matching the maturity and repricing horizons of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. This strategy is overseen in part through the direction of the asset and liability committee of the Bank, which establishes policies and monitors results to control interest rate sensitivity.

The asset and liability committee examines the extent to which the Bank’s assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive and monitors its interest rate sensitivity GAP. An asset or liability is considered to be interest rate-sensitive if it will be repriced or mature within the time period analyzed, usually one year or less. The interest rate sensitivity GAP is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice within such time periods. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income; and a negative GAP would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive GAP would tend to adversely affect net interest income.

If the repricing of the Bank’s assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, the impact of any increases or decreases in interest rates on net interest income would be minimal. However, as commercial banking companies generally have a significant quantity of their earning assets in Rate-Over-Prime, rate-adjusted-day-of-change earning assets, GAP management is critical, as it is difficult to reprice rate-sensitive liabilities (deposit accounts) at such a rapid frequency.

The asset and liability committee evaluates the Bank’s GAP position, and stratifies these results according to how often the repayment of particular assets and liabilities are impacted by changes in interest rates. Additionally, income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates; thus, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in general market rates. Additionally, certain types of earning assets (variable rate mortgage loans, for example) may have interest caps, which may limit the level of rate increases, even though general market interest rates increase. GAP management is

54

further complicated by asset (loan) prepayment and/or early withdrawal of liabilities (deposits). In volatile interest rate markets, the level of assets and liabilities assumed by the Bank may not have accounted for the deviation that has occurred in the unpredictable interest rate environment.

Therefore, management’s and the asset and liability committee’s strategy varies according to current and perceived future interest rate levels to protect the Bank’s net interest margin from market fluctuations. They review, on at least a monthly basis, the maturity and repricing of assets and liabilities for the various time periods considered.

The following table represents the Bank’s cumulative GAP position as of December 31, 2007. The Bank was liability sensitive at December 31, 2007. The Bank’s liability profile was intentionally shortened throughout 2007 in expectation of a falling interest rate environment.

Effect of Government Policy, Future Legislation and Changing Financial Markets

One of the primary determinants of the Company’s future success and profitability is the interest rate differentials obtained by the Bank. The Bank’s earning capacity will be largely controlled by the difference between the interest rate paid on its deposits and other borrowings and the interest rates received on loans to customers and securities held in its investment portfolio. The value and yields of its assets and the rate paid on its liabilities are sensitive to changes in prevailing rates of interest. Consequently, the earnings and growth of the Company will be influenced by general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and policies of regulatory agencies which implement national monetary policy. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies cannot be predicted. The entire regulatory environment which controls the banking industry in the United States is undergoing s ignificant change, both as to the banking industry itself and the permissible competition between banks and non-banking financial institutions. There have been significant regulatory changes in the areas of bank mergers and acquisitions, the products and services offered by banks and the non-banking activities in which bank and financial service holding companies may engage. Partly as a result of such changes, banks are now actively competing with other types of depository institutions and with non-bank financial institutions such as money market funds, brokerage firms, insurance companies and other financial services organizations. It is not possible at this time to assess what impact these changes will ultimately have on the Company and its operations. Certain legislative and regulatory proposals that could affect the Company are pending, or may be introduced, in the United States Congress, the Florida legislature and various other governmental agencies. These proposals could further alter the structure, r egulation and competitive relationship of financial institutions and may subject the Company to increased regulation, disclosure and reporting requirements. In addition, the various banking regulatory agencies frequently propose rules and regulations to implement and enforce already existing legislation. We cannot predict whether or in what form any future legislation or regulations will be enacted or to the extent to which the business of the Company will be affected by such matters.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The assets and liabilities of the Company are primarily monetary in nature and management believes that changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on its performance than do the effects of inflation in the current environment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Sun American Bancorp

Boca Raton, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun American Bancorp as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. We also have audited Sun American Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Sun American Bancorp's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on ou r audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our a udits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sun American Bancorp as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Sun American Bancorp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements of Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) include the accounts of Sun American Bancorp (the “Parent Company”), its principal subsidiary, Sun American Bank (the “Bank”), and Sun American Financial LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank which provides mortgage brokerage services.

The Company, through its subsidiary bank, operates 15 locations in four counties throughout Southeast Florida. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage, commercial and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions, federal funds sold, and investment securities. Sun American Wealth Management, a division of the Bank, offered a wide range of non-Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured financial products and services to consumers through arrangements w ith Uvest Financial Services Group, Inc., a registered securities broker-dealer. The Sun American Wealth Management division was discontinued in January 2008 due to unfavorable market conditions. Sun American Financial, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary at December 31, 2007, provided residential mortgage services to Bank customers. Similarly, this business was discontinued in January 2008 due to unfavorable market conditions.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, determination of purchase accounting adjustments and the resulting amortization thereof, goodwill impairment, deferred taxes, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions, and repurchase agreements.

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax. Other securities such as Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock are carried at cost.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount on a level yield method. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. Declines in the fair values of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that the fair values have been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan loss.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Acquired Loans: The Company generally acquires loans through business combinations rather than individually or in groups or portfolios. An acquired loan which has experienced deterioration of credit quality between origination and the acquisition, is accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (“SOP 03-3”). For such loans, the Company estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (including expected prepayments, if any) as of the acquisition date. The excess of the loan’s contractually required cash flows over the Company’s expected cash flows is referred to as a nonaccretable difference and is not recorded by the Company. The loan is initially recorded at fair value, which represents the present value of the expected cash flows. The difference between the undi scounted expected cash flows and the fair value at which the loan is recorded is referred to as accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the remaining expected life of the loan.

On a quarterly basis, the Company updates its estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. If the estimated cash flows have decreased, the Company creates a valuation allowance equal to the present value of the decrease in the cash flows and recognizes a loss. If the estimated cash flows have increased, the Company would first reverse any existing non accretable difference for that loan, and would then account for the remainder of the increase as an adjustment to the yield accreted on a prospective basis over the loan’s remaining life.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using 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 non-specific components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The non-specific component covers pools of other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is 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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less costs to sell the property, when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent declines in fair value, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 15 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives determined by the term of the lease.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from bank and branch acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on a straight line or an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives raging between 7 to 12 years.

Long-Term Assets: Premises and equipment, core deposit and other intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are adjusted to their fair value.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Instruments, such as standby letters of credit, that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45, are recorded at fair value if significant.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase: Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers and or correspondent banks. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Stock Compensation: Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option awards granted under the Company’s share-based payment plans in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Share-based employee compensation expense was not recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations prior to January 1, 2006, as all stock option awards granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective transition metho d. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during fiscal year 2006 includes compensation cost for new awards granted after the adoption date and for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value estimates and related service period estimates in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Statement No. 123.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards of $985,000 and $610,000, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method established in SFAS 123R had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in 2005.

		2005
Net income as reported	$	2,918,800
Deduct:
Dividends paid on preferred shares		(14,361	)
Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method		(2,197,892	)
Pro forma net income	$	706,547
Basic earnings per share as reported	$	0.60
Diluted earnings per share as reported	$	0.52
Pro forma basic earnings per share	$	0.15
Pro forma diluted earnings per share	$	0.13

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model uses the assumptions listed in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

	2007	2006	2005
Risk-free interest rate	4.78%	4.93%	4.28%
Expected option life	6.5 years	6.5 years	6.5 years
Expected stock price volatility	20%	21%	25%
Dividend yield	0%	0%	0%
Weighted Average fair value of options granted during the year	$4.28	$4.95	$3.83

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2007.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share is net income (loss), less preferred stock dividends, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and stock warrants. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits, reverse stock splits, and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements was $1,116,000 and $1,782,000 at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These balances do not earn interest.

Common Stock Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to its parent holding company or by the holding company to shareholders. No common stock dividends may be paid at this time, as the Bank and its parent holding company have a deficit in retained earnings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 16. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2006, the FASB released Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." This Interpretation revises the recognition tests for tax positions taken in tax returns such that a tax benefit is recorded only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be allowed upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount of such a tax benefit to record is the largest amount that is more likely than not to be allowed. Any reduction in deferred tax assets or increase in tax liabilities upon adoption will correspondingly reduce retained earnings. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007 with no effect on the consolidated financial statements or results of operations of the company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that th e adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the financial position of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial position of the Company.

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers are of high credit quality (government agencies and sponsored entities) and management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or market interest rates change. At year-end 2007 and 2006, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

In each case, the fair value of the core deposit intangibles was determined by an independent valuation and is being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging between 7 to 12 years. Aggregate amortization of core deposit intangibles was $794,443, $148,620, and $167,033 for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The increase to core deposit intangible during 2007 was attributed to the Independent Community Bank transaction.

(1)

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognized the remaining portion of its deferred tax assets in 2006 given management’s assessment and expectation of generating sufficient future taxable income. For 2007, the Company determined no valuation allowance was required despite the operating loss for the year. Such conclusions were based on a “more likely than not” threshold after considering positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. The positive evidence that management relied upon was: a) operating losses had been steadily reducing between 2002 and 2004, the modest loss reported in 2004 was due to the write off of assets of a discontinued line of business (known as Business Manager), otherwise the Company would have realized an operating profit in 2004, b) the Company reported operating profits in 2005 and 2006 and had in fact been able to utilize $4.9 million of past operati ng losses to offset taxable income over this period, c) the core size of the bank has grown to a level that is expected to produce profitable results in 2008 and beyond, e) the acquisitions of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank are forecast to be accretive to earnings from inception, and f) there are no significant net operating loss carryforwards expiring until 2010. Accordingly, no valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2007. The loss in 2007 is attributable to the unexpected increase to the provision for loan loss during the fourth quarter of 2007 to cover for losses in the loan portfolio and increases in impaired loans due to the declining value of the underlying collateral securing real estate loans. In 2005 the Company recorded no income taxes. The Company recorded a valuation allowance in an amount equal to its net deferred tax assets.

The details of the net deferred tax asset are as follows:

NOTE 14 – CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can result in regulatory action.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios (in thousands of dollars) at year-end are presented below.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year-end.

Fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates generally ranging from 5.00% to 14.00% and maturities ranging from one year to three years. Home equity lines of credit are generally fixed for the first five years and then convert to variable rate thereafter.

Employment Agreements: In January 2007, the Company entered into an employment agreement with its President and Chief Executive Officer of the Parent Company and Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank. Under terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a minimum base salary of $350,000 per year, to grant options, to grant restricted shares, and to provide certain other benefits and compensation. The employment agreement also included a provision requiring certain payments upon the occurrence of certain events leading to the termination of employment such as a change in control, death, or disability. The Employment Agreement replaces the former Employment Agreement dated May 2006.

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, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not significant.

NOTE 20 – ACQUISITIONS

Beach Bank

On May 17, 2006, the Company entered into an Asset Acquisition and Assumption Agreement, which was subsequently amended as of November 17, 2006, pursuant to which the Bank acquired substantially all of the assets, less $1.0 million in cash and certain other assets, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of Beach Bank. The Company issued 1.5 million shares as the acquisition transaction consideration. The transaction was completed on December 29, 2006.

The acquisition agreement related to Sun American's acquisition transaction with Beach Bank provided that the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American's common stock to be issued and delivered by Sun American, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the obligations from Beach Bank, was determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the final audited closing balance sheet prepared by Beach Bank. The exact number of shares of Sun American common stock issued in the acquisition transaction was required to be determined based upon the book value of Beach Bank as set forth in the final, audited closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as described in the agreement. Such final, audited balance sheet of Beach Bank was submitted to Sun American on February 27, 2007 and was subject to review by Sun American. Sun American requested certain adjustments to the final balance sheet of Beach Bank. The adjustments to the final balance sheet requested by Sun American required the consent of the shareholder representative of the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust, Michael Kosnitzky,which was not provided.

The dispute was submitted to an independent registered public accounting firm to independently determine the correct accounting under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in accordance with the terms provided for in the asset acquisition agreement. On February 7, 2008, the independent accountant determined expense adjustments of $1,571,307 out of a possible $1,595,353 were required to be made to the final audited closing balance sheet of Beach Bank in favor of Sun American. The accounting resolution provided by the independent accounting firm was to be final and binding on both parties. The Beach Bank Liquidating Trust is in process of seeking clarification and / or modification of the independent accountant’s decision. If the accounting arbitration ruling is upheld, the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust will be required to return to Sun American, transaction consideration totaling approximately $3.0 million. The actual numb er of shares to be returned to the Company is not readily determinable at this time because it will be based upon the average daily trading price of the Company’s common stock for the ten days prior to the distribution. In addition, the Company will not be

NOTE 20 – ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

required to issue additional shares of common stock in the amount of approximately $700,000 that had previously been accrued for under the original accounting results provided by Beach Bank. The accounting arbitration ruling is subject to review and adjustment under the general arbitration provisions of the asset acquisition agreement. Termination or rescission of the acquisition transaction is not contemplated.

Based upon the accounting arbitration decision, the revised ending Beach Bank tangible equity of $7.1 million times a multiple of 2.35, less adjustments of $1.0 million for excluded assets and $0.2 million for the payment of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premium, the net purchase price is now $15.5 million. Including certain direct acquisition costs of $0.6 million, the total purchase price increases to $16.1 million. Of the total intangible assets, $10.3 million was allocated to goodwill, $1.1 million was allocated to core deposit intangible, and $0.1 million to the fair value of branch leases. The goodwill acquired is not tax deductible. No customer relationship intangible was recognized as the Company does not consider it will obtain significant value from its new relationships with the former Beach Bank loan or deposit customers.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition and as adjusted for the accounting arbitration decision (in thousands of dollars):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	17,949
Securities held to maturity		23,688
Federal Home Loan Bank stock		240
Loans, net		67,966

The amount allocated to the core deposit intangible was determined by an independent valuation and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years.

The following table summarizes selected pro forma financial information but does not include amounts related to acquisition costs that were incurred to complete implementation of the acquisition.

The following pro forma financial information for 2006 and 2005 presents the consolidated operations of the Company as if the acquisitions had been made on January 1, 2005. The selected pro forma combined financial information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the acquisition under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies and other factors that may result as a consequence of the acquisition and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined business would have been had our companies been combined during the period presented.

Net income as reported for Sun American Bancorp ($2,919), net loss for Beach Bank ($2,147), and purchase accounting adjustments ($112). No income taxes are recorded as a result of decreasing the valuation allowance for the realizable portion of deferred tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards.

The Company acquired certain loans from Beach Bank that were impaired at the time of acquisition which are subject to the income recognition provisions of SOP 03-3 (Note 1). The carrying value of these loans and a summary of the change in accretable yield follows:

	At Acquisition, December 29, 2006			December 31, 2007

Contractually required principal and interest	$	2,815		$	—

There’s no remaining balance at December 31, 2007 as all of the purchased loans disclosed above have been paid. There was no subsequent deterioration of the purchased loans during 2007.

Independent Community Bank

On March 30, 2007, Independent Community Bank (“ICB”), a Florida commercial banking association, merged with and into Sun American Bank with Sun American Bank being the surviving bank in the merger. The consideration consisted of 1,630,813 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $22.0 million plus $19.0 million in cash. The total consideration paid represents a multiple of approximately 2.9 times the tangible book value of Independent Community Bank and is consistent with the fair value of comparable merger transactions at the time of acquisition and results in the recognition of goodwill of about $26.8 million. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of ICB were recorded at their respective fair values as of March 30, 2007. Purchase accounting adjustments will be amortized or accreted into income over the estimated lives of the related assets and liabilities. Core deposit intangible amounts to approximately $1.8 million. The goodwill acquired is not tax deductible. No customer relationship intangible was recognized as the Company does not consider it will obtain significant value from its new relationships with the former Independent Community Bank loan or deposit customers.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands of dollars):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	35,156

Re: Federal Funds Purchased Liquidity Facility

Dear Rob:

Upon review of your bank’s performance, IBB is pleased to increase the overnight Federal Funds Purchased Accommodation in favor of Sun American Bank to a maximum of $10,000,000 unsecured, allowing you to purchase funds at our daily “federal funds purchased” rate.

This facility is subject to market conditions and ongoing financial analysis of your bank’s quarterly Call Reports, which you should furnish us should IBB request it by either mail or phone. The facility does not represent a contractual obligation of IBB.

As you are aware, this is a liquidity facility for short term use. If you need core deposits or long term borrowings, we would encourage your discussing your funding situation with us to explore possible alternatives.

We look forward to meeting your ongoing needs as they arise.

Very truly yours,	Acknowledged and Accepted By:

Borrower:	Sun American Bancorp f/k/a PanAmerican Bancorp (TIN: 65-0325364)	Lender:	The Independent Bankers’ Bank of  Florida a State of Florida chartered commercial bank
	1200 N. Federal Highway, #111-A		615 Crescent Executive Court
	Boca Raton, FL 33432		Suite 400
			Lake Mary, FL 32746

Principal Amount: $2,000,000.00 Initial Rate: 7.250% Date of Note: February 25, 2007

PROMISE TO PAY.  Sun American Bancorp f/k/a PanAmerican Bancorp (“Borrower”) promises to pay to The Independent Banker’s Bank of Florida (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Two Million & 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender’s demand. If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on February 25, 2010. In addition, Borrower will pay regular quarterly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning May 20, 2007, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each quarter after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. The  annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lende r’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an  independent index which is the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate as published in the “Money Section” of the Wall Street Journal (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 8.250% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be at a rate of 1.000 percentage point under the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 7.250% per annum. NOTICE:  Under no circumstances will the effective rate of interest on this Note be more than (except for any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing nay of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: INDE PENDENT BANKERS BANK, 615 Crescent Executive Court Suite 400 Lake Mary, FL 32746.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased to 18.000% per annum. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under the applicable law.

LENDER’S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEY’S FEES; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect his Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lender’s legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

JURY WAIVER.  Lender and Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.

GOVERNING LAW.  This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Florida.

CHOICE OF VENUE.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Seminole County, State of Florida.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the indebtedness against any and all such accounts.

LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Note may be requested orally by Borrower or as provided in this paragraph.  All oral requests shall be confirmed in writing on the day of the request. All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender’s office shown above.  The following persons currently are authorized to request advances and authorize payments under the line of credit until Lender receives from Borrower, at Lender’s address shown above, written notice of revocation of their authority:  Michael E. Golden, President/CEO of Sun American Bancorp f/k/a PanAmerican Bancorp; and Hugo Castro, Secretary/Treasurer of Sun American Bancorp f/k/a PanAmerican Bancorp. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Note at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Note or by Lender’s internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower.

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance de. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing nay of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: INDEP ENDENT BANKERS BANK, 615 Crescent Executive Court Suite 400 Lake Mary, FL 32746.

LENDER’S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEY’S FEE; EXPENSES.  Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect his Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of these costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s reasonable attorney’s fees and Lender’s legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals.
