As provided in the acquisition agreement, the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock to be issued and delivered by Sun American Bancorp, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the liabilities shall be determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as expressly provided in the acquisition agreement, and further determined in accordance with the procedures of the acquisition agreement; provided, however, that with respect to the exercised stock or the excess capital, the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock issuable by Sun American Bancorp in exchange therefore shall be determined by multiplying 1.0 times the book value of such exercised stock or excess capital calculated based upon the closing balance sheet. For purposes of determining the acquisition transaction consideration, the value per share of Sun American Bancorp common stock to be issued and delivered in the acquisition transaction is $5.00 per share.

Based upon the estimated book value of Beach Bank upon the closing and without giving effect to any closing adjustments required by the acquisition agreement, Sun American Bancorp estimates that it will issue up to 4,500,000 shares in the acquisition transaction. Such shares shall be held in accordance with the escrow provisions of the acquisition agreement and the terms of the liquidating trust.

Q:

What should I do now?

A.

After you have carefully read this proxy statement and prospectus, indicate on your proxy card how you want to vote, and sign and mail it in the enclosed envelope as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented at the special meeting.

If you are a Sun American Bancorp stockholder and you sign and send in a proxy card, but do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of Sun American Bancorp Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

If you are a Beach Bank shareholder and you sign and send in a proxy card, but do not indicate how you want to vote, your proxy will be voted in favor of Beach Bank Proposals 1, 2 and 3.

Q:

If my Sun American Bancorp shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

A.

Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. Following the directions your broker provides, you should instruct your broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted.

If you are a Sun American Bancorp stockholder and if your shares are not voted, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposals to: (i) approve the issuance and sale of up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of substantially all the assets, and assumption of substantially all the liabilities, of Beach Bank; (ii) approve an amendment and restatement of the Sun American Bancorp 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan to: (a) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, (b) increase to 3,000,000 the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options, and (c) revise the plan to provide that all options granted under the plan must have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the plan) on the date of grant; and (iii) adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the proposals to be voted upon. However, if your shares are not voted, it will have the effect of a vote against the proposals to amend and restate our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to: (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000; and (ii) effect a 1 share for 2.5 shares reverse stock split to occur after the closing of the acquisition transaction and prior to December 31, 2007.

Q:

May I vote in Person?

A.

Yes. If you are a stockholder or shareholder of record, as applicable, you may attend the special meeting of stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, and vote your shares in person rather than signing and returning your proxy card.

Q:

What Happens if I do not Return a Proxy Card or Otherwise Vote?

A.

We urge you to vote at the special meeting either in person or by proxy. If you do not return your proxy card and do not vote in person at the special meeting, your shares of common stock cannot be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the special meeting for quorum purposes. Proxies received, but marked as abstentions or broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the special meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to the proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares.

If a quorum is not present at the special meeting of stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, we will be required to postpone the meeting and re-solicit your proxy, which will cost additional time and expense.

For a more complete description of the voting procedures, please refer to the sections of this proxy statement and prospectus entitled “The Special Meeting of Sun American Bancorp Stockholders” beginning on page 158 and “The Special Meeting of Beach Bank Shareholders” beginning on page 179.

Q:

When do you expect the Acquisition Transaction to be Completed?

A.

Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank are working toward completing the acquisition transaction as soon as practicable after the Sun American Bancorp stockholders and Beach Bank shareholders approve the proposals to be considered at the special meeting of stockholders and shareholders, as applicable. The acquisition transaction is subject to a number of conditions, however, including, but not limited to, obtaining stockholder or shareholder approval, as applicable, and regulatory approvals, and all closing conditions set forth in the acquisition agreement must be satisfied or waived. We hope to complete the acquisition on or about November [30], 2006.

Q:

Can I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy?

A.

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy card is voted at the special meeting of stockholders or shareholders, as applicable. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written, dated notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete, date and submit a new proxy card or later-dated proxy card. If you choose either of these two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card or later-dated proxy card for Sun American Bancorp shares to its corporate office as indicated on the special meeting notice for delivery by November [__], 2006 or for Beach Bank shares to its corporate office as indicated on the special meeting notice for delivery by November [__], 2006. Third, you can attend the special meeting of stockholders or shareholders, as applicable, and vote your shares in person. Your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow the directions received from your broker to change those instructions.

Q:

Whom Should I Contact with Questions about the Acquisition Transaction or Special Meeting?

A.

Sun American Bancorp stockholders should call Robert Nichols at (561) 826-0464.

Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction (page 26)

Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors believes that the acquisition transaction is fair to, and in the best interest of, Sun American Bancorp and its stockholders. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement, Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors consulted with its management, as well as with its legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the following:

·

the expectation that the rate of earnings growth of the combined company would be greater than Sun American Bancorp could achieve separately;

·

the analysis of the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of Beach Bank including the information obtained in Sun American Bancorp’s due diligence review of Beach Bank;

·

the complementary nature of Sun American Bank’s and Beach Bank’s businesses, management and employee cultures and the geographic locations of their respective banks; and

·

the strategic opportunity presented by a combination of Sun American Bank and Beach Bank.

Interests of Directors and Officers of Beach Bank that Differ from Your Interests (page 37)

Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers, who collectively own approximately 37.3% of the outstanding Beach Bank common stock, have agreed to vote in favor of the acquisition agreement and the acquisition transaction. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement and prospectus, Beach Bank shareholders should be aware that Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Beach Bank shareholders. These circumstances may cause some of Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers to view the proposed transaction differently than Beach Bank shareholders may view it.

Conditions to the Acquisition Transaction (page 40)

Sun American Bancorp’s obligation to effect the acquisition transaction is subject to the satisfaction or its waiver at or prior to the closing date of the following conditions:

·

the representations and warranties of Beach Bank set forth in the acquisition agreement shall be true and correct as of the closing date, subject to the provisions of the acquisition agreement;

·

Beach Bank shall have performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed by it under the acquisition agreement at or prior to the closing date;

·

receipt of a certificate of an executive officer of Beach Bank stating that, to his knowledge, certain conditions have been met; and

·

each of the outside Beach Bank board members, except for Tom Walker as provided in the acquisition agreement, shall have executed a non-competition agreement.

The obligation of Beach Bank to effect the acquisition transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Beach Bank at or prior to the closing date of the following conditions:

·

Sun American Bancorp’s and Sun American Bank’s representations and warranties set forth in the acquisition agreement shall be true and correct as of the closing date, subject to the provisions of the acquisition agreement;

Regulatory Approvals (page 40)

The acquisition transaction may not proceed in the absence of receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals. Sun American Bancorp has submitted the appropriate applications to Florida’s Office of Financial Regulation on August 2, 2006 and to the Federal Reserve Board on August 9, 2006. On September 15, 2006, Sun American Bancorp responded to comments raised by the Staff of the Federal Reserve Board. After the initial filing of the registration statement, in which this proxy statement and prospectus is a part, with the SEC, Sun American Bancorp will file an Additional Listing Application with AMEX. The approval by AMEX of the Additional Listing Application must be received by Sun American Bancorp prior to the issuance of the Sun American Bancorp shares in connection with the closing of the acquisition transaction. Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank are not aware of any other material governmental approvals or actions that are required for consummation of the acquisition transaction. Should any other approval or action be required, it presently is contemplated that such approval or action will be sought.

Termination of the Acquisition Agreement (page 42)

The acquisition agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing date, whether before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the acquisition transaction by the shareholders of Beach Bank for the following reasons, among others:

·

by mutual consent of the parties;

·

by either party upon written notice to the other party: (i) 30 days after the date on which any request or application for a requisite regulatory approval shall have been denied or withdrawn at the request or recommendation of the governmental entity unless, within such 30 day period, a petition for rehearing or amended application has been filed, provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate the acquisition agreement if such denial or request or recommendation for withdrawal shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the acquisition agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party; or (ii) if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acquisition transaction;

·

if the acquisition transaction shall not have been consummated on or before November 30, 2006, unless the failure of the closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the acquisition agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party;

·

if the approval of the shareholders of Beach Bank required for the consummation of the acquisition transaction shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of such shareholders or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

·

by either party, provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the acquisition agreement, if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in the acquisition agreement on the part of the non-terminating party, which breach is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the breaching party, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate the acquisition agreement unless the breach of representation or warranty, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such representation not to consummate the acquisition transaction.

Accounting Treatment (page 45)

The acquisition transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for financial reporting purposes.

Dissenters’ and Appraisal Rights (page 45)

Each holder of Beach Bank common stock has the right under Section 658.44, Florida Statutes, to dissent and, if the acquisition transaction is completed, to receive the “fair value” of his or her shares in cash. Copies of the applicable Florida Statutes are attached hereto as Appendix B.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (page 53)

Blank Rome LLP has provided an opinion as to the material federal income tax consequences of the acquisition transaction. In summary, their opinion provides that Beach Bank shareholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the receipt of Sun American Bancorp common stock in the acquisition transaction in exchange for the shares of Beach Bank’s stock surrendered. In addition, Beach Bank shareholders who properly exercise their rights to dissent from the acquisition transaction will generally be taxed on all or a portion of the cash they receive. Tax matters are complicated and the tax consequences of the acquisition transaction may vary among shareholders. We urge you to contact your own tax advisor to understand fully how the acquisition transaction will affect you. See the discussion of the tax implication below under the section entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Comparative Rights of Sun American Bancorp Stockholders and Beach Bank Shareholders (page 152)

In addition, the Beach Bank shareholders will be subject to Sun American Bancorp’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, which differ from the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Beach Bank.

Sun American Bancorp is subject to legal limitations under federal and state laws affecting the frequency and amount of dividends that may be paid to its 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, Sun American Bancorp may not declare and pay dividends on its capital stock if the amount paid exceeds an amount equal to the surplus that represents the excess of its net assets over paid-in-capital or, if there is no surplus, its net profits for the current and/or immediately preceding fiscal year. Under applicable Delaware case law, dividends may not be paid on Sun American Bancorp’s common stock if it becomes insolvent or the payment of dividends will render it insolvent. Sun American Bancorp does not pay, and does not anticipate paying, any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

As of September 22, 2006, 19,217,759 shares were issued and outstanding and were held by approximately 588 stockholders of record.

Beach Bank’s common stock is not traded on any public market. Beach Bank has not paid a dividend to its shareholders in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, nor during 2006. Beach Bank will distribute shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock to its shareholders pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the escrow agreement, the liquidating trust and a plan of liquidation. As of [October 18], 2006, 6,039,422.33 shares were issued and outstanding and were held by 73 shareholders of record.

RISK FACTORS

As a result of the acquisition transaction, Sun American Bancorp’s stockholders and Beach Bank shareholders that become Sun American Bancorp stockholders will be subject to the following new or increased risks related to the acquisition transaction. You should consider these matters in connection with the other information that we have included or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement and prospectus. 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.

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.

Risks Related to the Acquisition Transaction

If the acquisition transaction is not completed, we and Beach Bank will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits.

We and Beach Bank have incurred substantial expenses in connection with the acquisition transaction. The completion of the acquisition transaction depends upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals. We cannot guarantee that these conditions will be met. If the acquisition transaction is not completed, these expenses may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of us and/or Beach Bank because neither company would have realized the expected benefits of the acquisition transaction.

The acquisition transaction must be approved by multiple governmental and regulatory agencies.

Before the acquisition transaction and related transactions may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange. These governmental and regulatory entities may impose conditions on the completion of the acquisition transaction or require changes to the terms of the acquisition transaction. Although we and Beach Bank do not currently expect that any such condition or changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that there will not be, and such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the acquisition transaction or imposing additional costs on us or limiting our revenues following the acquisition transaction, any of which might have a material adverse effect on us following the acquisition transaction. We and Beach Bank can mutually agree not to complete the acquisition transaction for any reason, including if the regulatory approvals received in connection with the completion of the acquisition transaction include any conditions or restrictions that would so materially adversely impact the economic benefits of the acquisition transaction so as to render inadvisable the consummation of the acquisition transaction.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition transaction.

The success of the acquisition transaction will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining our business with Beach Bank’s business. However, to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, we must successfully combine our business with Beach Bank’s business. If we are not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the acquisition transaction may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

The success of the acquisition transaction also depends upon our management’s ability to successfully solve regulatory issues encountered by Beach Bank, such as those underlying the FDIC Cease and Desist Order between the FDIC and Beach Bank dated November 15, 2004. Although our management is confident that these regulatory issues can be solved successfully when the Beach Bank branches are operated by our personnel and under our operating system, there can be no assurance that our management will be able to do so. If our management is unable to successfully solve these regulatory issues, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the acquisition transaction may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

We and Beach Bank have operated, and until the completion of the acquisition transaction, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the



16





disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain our relationships with the companies’ respective clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition transaction. Integration efforts between the two companies may, to some extent, also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on us during such transition period.

Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Beach Bank’s shareholders.

Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers, who collectively own approximately 37.3% of the outstanding Beach Bank common stock, have agreed to vote in favor of the acquisition agreement and the acquisition transaction. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement and prospectus, you should be aware that Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Beach Bank shareholders. In addition, these agreements may have the effect of discouraging persons from making a proposal to acquire Beach Bank. These circumstances may cause some of Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers to view the proposed transaction differently than you may view it.

Because the market price of our common stock will fluctuate, Beach Bank shareholders cannot be sure of the exact market value of our common stock that they will receive in the acquisition transaction.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, we will issue shares of our common stock to Beach Bank as consideration for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets, and assumption of substantially all of the liabilities, of Beach Bank. Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the escrow agreement, the liquidating trust and the transactions contemplated therein, the shares will be distributed to the shareholders of Beach Bank. The total number of shares to be issued by us is based upon a formula provided in the acquisition agreement, which is based, in part, on the book value of Beach Bank as set forth on the closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as expressly provided in the acquisition agreement. As a result, the total number of shares to be issued to Beach Bank and subsequently available for distribution to Beach Bank shareholders in accordance with the escrow provisions of the acquisition agreement and the terms of the liquidating trust will not be determined until the closing date. The market price of our common stock may vary from the price on the date of this proxy statement and prospectus, the date of the special meeting of Beach Bank shareholders and the closing date. See “Market Value of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank Common Stock” beginning on page 15.

The market price of our common stock may change as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in our business, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond our control and are not necessarily related to a change in our financial performance or condition. The market value of our common stock that will be available for distribution to a Beach Bank shareholder in the acquisition transaction will decline or increase with declines or increases in the market price of our common stock prior to, and will not be known until, the closing date.

There can be no assurance that the value of our common stock that Beach Bank shareholders are entitled to receive in the acquisition transaction will be substantially equivalent to the market price of our common stock at the time the Beach Bank shareholders vote to approve the acquisition agreement and the acquisition transaction. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for our common stock. Our common stock is currently listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “SBK.”

The acquisition agreement limits Beach Bank’s ability to pursue alternative transactions to the acquisition transaction.

Except as set forth in the acquisition agreement, neither Beach Bank nor its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or representatives are permitted to initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate, including by way of furnishing information, any inquiries with respect to or the making of any third party alternative acquisition proposals as set forth in the acquisition agreement. The prohibition limits Beach Bank’s ability to pursue offers that may be superior financially from other possible acquirers. If Beach Bank receives an acquisition proposal from a third party that is superior financially to that made by us and the acquisition agreement is terminated, Beach Bank may be liable to us for breach of contract. These provisions make it less likely that a third party will make an alternative acquisition proposal.



17





We and Beach Bank may choose not to proceed with the acquisition transaction if it is not completed by November 30, 2006 or if all conditions to closing are not met or waived.

Either we or Beach Bank can terminate the acquisition agreement if the acquisition transaction has not been completed by November 30, 2006, unless the failure to close by such date is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the acquisition agreement. See “Terms of the Acquisition – Amendment, Waiver and Termination” beginning on page 42. There can be no assurance that all conditions to the acquisition transaction will have been satisfied by November 30, 2006. See “Terms of the Acquisition – Conditions to the Acquisition” beginning on page 40.

After the acquisition transaction is completed, Beach Bank shareholders who receive our common stock will become stockholders of our company and will have different rights, as stockholders, that may be less advantageous than their current rights.

Upon completion of the acquisition transaction, Beach Bank shareholders who receive our common stock will become stockholders of our company. Differences in Beach Bank Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws will result in changes to the rights of Beach Bank shareholders who will become stockholders of our company. For a description of these changes, see “Comparative Rights of Sun American Bancorp Stockholders and Beach Bank Shareholders” beginning on page 152. A shareholder of Beach Bank may conclude that his or her current rights under Beach Bank’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws are more advantageous than the rights such shareholders would have as a stockholder of our company.

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 impact 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 impact 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 impact 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 results and negatively impact the value of our common stock.



18





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.

From time to time, we have to 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 cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change.

At December 31, 2005, our impaired assets totaled $2.3 million, or 1.1% of total gross loans, and our allowance for loan losses totaled $2.1 million. Our impaired assets were $9.3 million at June 30, 2006, or 3.7% of total gross loans, and our allowance for loan losses totaled $2.7 million. The increase was mostly due to the downgrading of two construction loans that incurred cost overruns prompting an advance of additional funds. The loans continue on accrual status. 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 impact the value of our common stock.

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 opening new branches, 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



19





·

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 year ended December 31, 2005 and for the first six months of 2006, we had net income of $2.9 million and $854,016, respectively, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be profitable in the future. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, our loss reflected the discontinuance of a loan product known as “Business Manager” for which we wrote off approximately $582,000, as well as integration costs associated with the purchase of Gulf Bank of approximately $222,000. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, our loss reflected loan write-offs of approximately $1.1 million. If we experience losses, our financial position could be negatively impacted 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, which could reduce the value of our common stock.

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.

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.

Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk because our income is primarily derived from the excess of interest collected on interest-earning assets (loans and investments) over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities (deposits). The rates of interest earned on assets and owed on liabilities change and generally are established contractually over a period of time. We cannot predict or control changes in interest rates. National, regional and local economic conditions and the policies of regulatory authorities, including monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, affect market interest rates. While we have instituted policies and procedures designed to manage the risks from changes in market interest rates, at any given time our assets and liabilities are likely to be affected by a given change in interest rates, principally because we do not match the maturities of our loans and investments precisely with our deposits and other funding sources.

Since market interest rates change over time, we are exposed to lower profitability if we cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Over the short term, a downward movement in market interest rates may cause a decrease in the interest collected due to adjustable rate loans whose interest rate will adjust downward, while interest paid on interest-bearing deposits may not offset the decline in interest collected due to our higher fixed interest payment obligations over a longer period, e.g., certificates of deposit. In addition, low market interest rates can result in a



20





high level of prepayments, which will reduce our cash flow from the interest collected on interest-earning assets. As of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, we had a positive one-year interest rate sensitivity gap of 1.21% and 1.12%, respectively. Over a longer term, for example, a five-year period, an upward movement in interest rates may increase risk exposure as our liabilities may require increased interest payments, which are not offset by increased interest collected on assets. An asset portfolio largely in fixed interest rate loans of long duration may not be able to be repriced quickly enough to offset the effects of paying increased interest on our liabilities. Changes in interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of our key senior management, including Michael Golden, our President and CEO and the CEO of Sun American Bank, due to his skills, knowledge of the markets in which we operate and years of industry experience. The loss of key personnel in a particular market could have an adverse effect on our performance in that market because it may be difficult to find qualified replacement personnel who are already located in or would be willing to relocate to a non-metropolitan market. The loss of the services of Mr. Golden or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations, which may reduce the value of our common stock.

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 and negatively impact the value of our common stock. 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 the value of our common stock.

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, 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.



21





If we fail to correct any issues in the design or operating effectiveness of our 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, which may decrease the value of our common stock.

We are subject to extensive federal and state government supervision and regulation. Our ability to achieve profitability and to grow 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 are subject to change and such changes may adversely impact our business and profitability. These laws and regulations are intended primarily to protect depositors, not stockholders. In 2005, we entered into agreements with federal and state regulators to remain well capitalized and improve our policies and procedures in administrative areas affecting internal audit, asset and liability management and compliance and agreed to periodically report to the regulatory authorities on our progress in these areas. These agreements ended in 2006. 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 the banking industry or our operations.

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

We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of different competitors. 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. To compete, we rely upon competitive products and services, responsive handling of customer needs, and personal contacts by our officers, directors and staff. 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.

Our failure to apply new technology to service our customers may adversely affect our growth strategy and ability to stay competitive, which may decrease the value of our common stock.

The banking industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better service customers and reduce costs. Our ability to implement our growth strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. Such technology may permit competitors to perform certain functions at a lower cost than us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services to be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.

We outsource many essential services to third-party providers who may terminate their agreements with us, which could negatively affect our operations.

We receive, and will continue to receive, essential technical and customer service support from third-party providers. These third-party providers provide check processing, data processing, Internet processing, home page hosting and statement-rendering services. We expect to use third-party providers for additional services in the future. Our current agreements with each of these service providers may be canceled without cause by either party upon specified notice periods, and future agreements may contain similar clauses. If one of our third-party service providers terminates its agreement with us, we may not be able to enter into a new agreement on similar terms in a



22





timely manner, and our operations may be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period of time, we could lose customers to other financial institutions, which may negatively affect our operations. In addition, any new third party agreement may result in higher costs to us, including transition costs.

From time to time we are subject to litigation, 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.

We and Sun American 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 Sun American Bank, which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business or financial position.

We are currently subject to two lawsuits. On May 12, 2004, Fausto Marquez commenced an action against Sun American Bank, Case No. 03-21466 20, Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. Mr. Marquez alleged that Sun American Bank interfered with his efforts to purchase Gulf Bank. The trial court has dismissed the claims, with prejudice. Mr. Marquez has filed an appeal, which is pending. The possible outcome of the appeal is uncertain and the amount sought by Mr. Marquez is unknown.

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 allege that they did not receive compensation, including options and warrants, that was promised to them while they were board members. Mr. Caliendo further alleges that he was not paid for services provided to Mr. Golden, individually, and to Franklin Financial Group, LLC. We and Mr. Golden have moved to dismiss the complaint and deny the allegations.

We believe that we have several defenses to the claims raised by these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits. Due to the inherent uncertainties in litigation and because the ultimate resolution of these proceedings is influenced by factors outside of our control, we are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation or its impact on our financial condition or results of operations. However, to the extent that our management will be required to participate in or otherwise devote substantial amounts of time to the defense of these lawsuits, such activities would result in the diversion of our management resources from our business operations and the implementation of our growth strategy, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

Because our common stock is not FDIC insured, you risk a loss of your entire investment.

Our securities are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of Sun American Bank, they are not insured by the FDIC or any other governmental agency and they are subject to investment risk, including the loss of your entire investment.

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 American Stock Exchange, 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 acquisition transaction consideration price per share 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 September 22, 2006, 19,217,759 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. We have reserved approximately an additional 16,784,694 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with previously issued securities that are exercisable or convertible into common stock. We also have reserved 906,180 shares of common stock in connection with our benefit plans and 200,000 shares of common stock in connection with our warrant plan. 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 warrants. As of September 22, 2006, we had approximately 2,891,367 shares of our common stock available for future issuances, which issuances would cause further dilution.

If the proposals in this proxy statement and prospectus that relate to: (i) the amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000; (ii) the sale and issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction; and (iii) the amendment and restatement of our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, are each approved by our stockholders at the special meeting, the outstanding shares of our common stock would be subject to further dilution.

A substantial number of our shares of common stock 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 September 22, 2006, 19,217,759 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, of which 10,832,479 shares have previously been registered with the SEC. As of September 22, 2006, 13,620,606 additional shares have been registered for resale with the SEC, including 3,881,060 shares upon exercise of options issued under our Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan and our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, 4,864,600 shares upon exercise of Series D common stock purchase warrants, 4,084,358 shares upon exercise of Series F common stock purchase warrants, 50,000 shares upon exercise of Series G common stock purchase warrants and 740,588 shares upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants issued to placement agents in connection with certain private placements that occurred between August 2005 and February 2006. We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, may lower the common stock’s market price.

If the proposals in this proxy statement and prospectus that relate to: (i) the amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000; (ii) the sale and issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction; and (iii) the amendment and restatement of our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, are each approved by our stockholders at the special meeting, an increased number of our shares of common stock, assuming registration of such additional shares, will be eligible for future sale, which also may depress our stock 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.



24





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 Restate 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.

We have entered into certain related party transactions with our directors.

As of June 30, 2006, Sun American Bank has four lines of credit extended to business entities affiliated with two of its directors, who also serve on our board of directors, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $7.0 million. The current balance outstanding on these lines of credit is approximately $6.9 million and all of these loans are considered performing in accordance with their terms. Although the amounts outstanding on these lines of credit do not exceed the appraised value of the real estate securing such lines, there can be no assurance that this will continue in the future.

BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

Background of the Acquisition Transaction

Over the past several years, there has been increasing consolidation of the banking industry. This consolidation has been fueled by, among other things, national and state banking-related legislation that has enabled certain financial institutions to benefit from the economies of scale and greater efficiencies available to combined entities. Financial institutions have sought suitable combinations as means of obtaining such benefits.

In the cases of both Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank, management has regularly reviewed with the board of directors the possible benefits of a strategic business combination with another financial institution. In each case, such a combination has been considered in light of various alternative means of increasing stockholder value and strengthening the bank’s franchise in order to better compete in a consolidating market for financial services and products. In addition, both Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank senior management teams regularly review market conditions with their counterparts at other financial institutions.

In February 2006, Michael E. Golden, Sun American Bancorp’s president and chief executive officer, and Michael Kosnitzky, Beach Bank’s chairman, met to discuss the possibility of a strategic combination between Sun American Bank and Beach Bank. As a result of this meeting, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky became familiar with their companies’ shared vision of improving stockholder value while simultaneously enhancing the position of the combined entity to better service the community in which both banks operate.

At a meeting after their initial meeting, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky concluded that Sun American Bank and Beach Bank were a strategic fit based on their respective businesses, management and employee cultures, geographic locations and breadth of franchise. Based on these discussions, the two executives decided it would be worthwhile to continue to consider a transaction. Discussions continued in March 2006 concerning the potential benefits and advantages of a combination of the banks.

During March 2006, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky each independently met with their respective counsel to discuss the proposed asset acquisition and alternative structures for the acquisition transaction. During this period, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky discussed with counsel the potential terms of the business combination, including the transaction structure and termination provisions. On or about March 7, 2006, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky executed a non-binding letter of intent setting forth the exchange ratio and other material terms of the business combination and agreed to present the proposed asset acquisition agreement to their respective board of directors.

Following the execution of the non-binding letter of intent, the parties exchanged informal information regarding their respective operations and, with counsel, negotiated the terms of the acquisition agreement. Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky and their respective counsel also communicated on a regular basis regarding the potential transaction, including the post-closing integration of the two banks.

On May 17, 2006, the Sun American Bancorp board of directors met with counsel to consider and discuss the terms of the acquisition agreement. Following a discussion of the terms of the acquisition agreement, the fairness of the exchange ratio to the Sun American Bancorp stockholders and the other factors listed below under “— Sun American Bancorp’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction,” the Sun American Bancorp board concluded unanimously that the acquisition transaction was fair to the Sun American Bancorp stockholders and approved the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. On May 17, 2006, the Beach Bank board of directors also unanimously approved the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. Between May 17 and July 7, 2006, Sun American Bancorp conducted and completed its due diligence investigation of the operations and financial condition of Beach Bank.

Sun American Bancorp engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., referred to as KBW in this proxy statement and prospectus, to conduct a review of the merit and fairness of a business combination with Beach Bank. On September 20, 2006, KBW delivered a letter summarizing its review of the proposed business combination to the boards of directors of Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank.

Sun American Bancorp’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction

Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors believes that the acquisition transaction is fair to, and in the best interest of, Sun American Bancorp and its stockholders. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement, Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors consulted with its management, as well as with its legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the following:

·

the expectation that the rate of earnings growth of the combined company would be greater than Sun American Bank could achieve separately;

·

the analysis of the business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects of Beach Bank, including the information obtained in Sun American Bancorp’s due diligence review of Beach Bank;

·

the complementary nature of Sun American Bank’s and Beach Bank’s businesses, management and employee cultures and the geographic locations of their respective banks; and

·

the strategic opportunity presented by a combination of Sun American Bank and Beach Bank.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes material factors considered by Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors considered all these factors as a whole and considered them to be overall favorable to, and to support, a determination that the acquisition agreement is in the best interests of Sun American Bancorp and its stockholders.

Beach Bank’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction

Beach Bank’s board of directors believes that the acquisition transaction is fair to, and in the best interest of, Beach Bank and its shareholders. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement, Beach Bank’s board of directors consulted with its management, as well as with its financial and legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the limitations of the bank’s current market and the potential for enhancement of shareholder value as well as:

·

that Sun American Bancorp is paying a premium of 2.35 over the book value of Beach Bank, adding value to the shareholders’ shares;

·

that, although the Sun American Bancorp shares are thinly traded, Sun American Bancorp is a listed company on the AMEX and, upon the acquisition transaction, the shareholders will be obtaining registered securities that are not restricted;

·

that, because both Beach Bank and Sun American Bank are local financial institutions, the acquisition transaction will result in an expanded presence in the local financial institutions’ market, serving business and retail financial needs with local decision-making and serving a greater base of individuals and businesses overall;

·

that the acquisition transaction is structured as a “C-Reorganization” under the Code and would result in: (i) the shareholders being able to exchange their shares in Beach Bank for shares of Sun American Bancorp on a tax-free basis, and (ii) the deferral of capital gains until the “realization event” (or sale of the shares);

·

the opportunity for the shareholders, customers and employees to benefit from the expanded network of Sun American Bancorp branches and the access to a greater selection of products and services;

·

the various regulatory restraints under which Beach Bank must operate pursuant to the FDIC Cease and Desist Order between the FDIC and Beach Bank that was issued in November 2004;



27





·

the financial terms of the acquisition agreement, including the purchase price and the possible adjustments to the purchase price, the assets and liabilities of Beach Bank excluded from the acquisition transaction, and that Beach Bank is required to deposit 75% of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock it receives as part of the acquisition transaction consideration in escrow to secure Beach Bank’s indemnification obligations to Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank;

·

the impact of the acquisition transaction on Beach Bank’s employees and customers and the communities served by Beach Bank; and

·

that the acquisition transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the shareholders, the receipt of regulatory approvals, and the registration with the SEC of the shares to be issued by Sun American Bancorp in the acquisition transaction.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by Beach Bank’s board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes material factors considered by Beach Bank’s board of directors. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, Beach Bank’s board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Beach Bank’s board of directors considered all these factors as a whole and considered them to be overall favorable to, and to support, a determination that the acquisition agreement is in the best interests of Beach Bank and its shareholders.

Opinion of Financial Advisor

Sun American Bancorp engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., referred to as KBW in this proxy statement and prospectus, for advice on the merit and fairness of Sun American Bank’s business combination proposal to Beach Bank. On September 20, 2006, KBW delivered to the board of directors of Sun American Bancorp a written opinion to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the matters described in the opinion, the acquisition transaction was viewed as appropriate and fair to Sun American Bancorp. No limitations were imposed by the Sun American Bancorp board of directors upon KBW with respect to the investigation made or the procedures followed by KBW in rendering its opinion.

Sun American Bancorp engaged KBW to render financial advisory and investment banking services. KBW assisted Sun American Bancorp in analyzing, structuring and negotiating the acquisition transaction. Sun American Bancorp selected KBW because KBW is a nationally-recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the acquisition transaction and is familiar with Sun American Bancorp and its business. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

The full text of KBW’s opinion, dated September 20, 2006, is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement and prospectus. Holders of Sun American Bancorp common stock are encouraged to read KBW’s opinion carefully in its entirety for a discussion of the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations upon the review undertaken by KBW in connection with the rendering of its opinion. KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the Sun American Bancorp board of directors and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sun American Bancorp of the acquisition transaction consideration to be paid in the acquisition transaction. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the acquisition transaction and does not constitute a recommendation to any Sun American Bancorp stockholder as to how the stockholder should vote at the Sun American Bancorp special meeting of stockholders on the acquisition transaction or any related matter.

In rendering its opinion, KBW:

reviewed the Agreement;

·

reviewed certain historical financial and other information concerning Beach Bank;

·

reviewed certain historical financial and other information concerning Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank;



28





·

held discussions with members of the senior management of Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank and Beach Bank regarding past and current business operations, regulatory matters, financial condition and future prospects;

·

reviewed and studied the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the common stock of Sun American Bancorp;

·

analyzed certain publicly available financial information and valuation multiples of other financial institutions deemed comparable or otherwise relevant, and compared Beach Bank and Sun American Bancorp to those institutions;

·

compared the financial terms of the acquisition transaction with the financial terms of certain other transactions deemed comparable or otherwise relevant; and

·

performed other studies and analyses deemed appropriate.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to KBW or that was publicly available. KBW did not attempt or assume any responsibility to verify such information independently. KBW relied upon the respective managements of Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and assumptions and bases therefor) provided to KBW. KBW assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Beach Bank and Sun American Bank are adequate to cover those losses. KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of any properties of Beach Bank or Sun American Bancorp or Sun American Bank, or examine or review any individual credit files.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, KBW assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

·

there has been no material change in Sun American Bancorp’s or Sun American Bank’s or Beach Bank’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us prior to rendering the opinion;

·

Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank and Beach Bank will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to KBW’s analysis;

·

the acquisition transaction will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the acquisition agreement;

·

the representations and warranties of each party in the acquisition agreement and in all related agreements referred to in the acquisition agreement are true and correct;

·

each party to the acquisition agreement will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the acquisition agreement;

·

all conditions precedent to the completion of the acquisition transaction set forth in the acquisition agreement will be satisfied without any waivers;

·

the acquisition transaction will quality as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; and

·

in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual or other consents or approvals for the acquisition transaction, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of Sun American Bancorp or Sun American Bank or the contemplated benefits of the acquisition transaction, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the acquisition transaction.

KBW further assumed that the acquisition transaction will be accounted for as a purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. KBW’s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock will trade: (i) following the announcement of the acquisition transaction;



29





(ii) when issued pursuant to the acquisition transaction; or (iii) following the completion of the acquisition transaction.

In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank and Beach Bank. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the board of directors of Sun American Bancorp in making its determination to approve the acquisition agreement and the acquisition transaction. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Sun American Bancorp board with respect to the fairness of the acquisition transaction consideration.

The following is a summary of the material analyses performed by KBW in connection with its written opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the KBW opinion, but summarizes the analyses performed in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. KBW did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative) considered in isolation supported or failed to support its opinion; rather KBW made its determination as to the fairness of the consideration on the basis of its experience and professional judgment, after considering the results of all its analyses taken as a whole. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of KBW’s financial analyses.

Summary of Proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, Sun American Bancorp will issue and deliver that number of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock equal to 2.35 times Beach Bank’s book value (as defined in the acquisition agreement) at closing, divided by $5.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the acquisition agreement. Based on Beach Bank’s book value of $9.156 million at June 30, 2006, KBW calculated the acquisition transaction consideration as follows:

·

 “Negotiated Value” - $9.156 million multiplied by 2.35 = $21.517 million

·

Sun American Bancorp shares payable to Beach Bank - $21.517 million divided by $5.00 = 4.303 million shares

·

Sun American Bancorp’s closing price on September 19, 2006 = $5.55

·

 “Adjusted Value” – 4.303 million shares multiplied by $5.55 = $23.883 million

Selected Peer Group Analysis. Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance and financial condition of Beach Bank to those of a group of commercial banks and bank holding companies headquartered in Miami-Dade County, Florida with assets between $50.0 million and $500.0 million. KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market valuations of Sun American Bancorp to those of a group of comparable publicly traded Florida commercial banks and bank holding companies with assets between $100.0 million and $1.0 billion.

Comparable Transaction Analysis. KBW reviewed certain financial data related to comparably sized acquisitions of bank holding companies and commercial banks in Florida that were announced after January 1, 2003, with announced aggregate transaction values between $10.0 million and $100.0 million. The transactions included in the group were:

For each precedent transaction, KBW derived and compared, among other things, the implied ratio of the consideration paid for the acquired company to:

·

the earnings of the acquired company for the latest twelve months of results publicly available prior to the time the transaction was announced;



33





·

the book value of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition;

·

the tangible book value of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition; and

·

the total assets of the acquired company based on the latest publicly available financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition.

Additionally, KBW compared the core deposit premium paid in each transaction. The core deposit premium is calculated as the premium paid in the transaction over the acquired company’s tangible common equity as a percentage of the acquired company’s core deposits. For purposes of this analysis, core deposits are defined as total deposits less the sum of all certificates of deposit with balances over $100,000 and any brokered or purchased deposits.

Transaction multiples for the acquisition transaction were derived from the “Negotiated Value” and “Adjusted Value” as described above. The results of the analysis are set forth in the following table.

For the latest twelve months for the period ended June 30, 2006, Beach Bank was unprofitable.

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to Sun American Bancorp, Beach Bank or the acquisition transaction. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the various companies surveyed.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW calculated the estimated present value of the cash flows that Beach Bank could generate over calendar years 2007 through 2011 after giving effect to potential cost synergies ranging from 40.0% to 60.0% of Beach Bank’s projected non-interest expenses. KBW applied forward earnings terminal value multiples ranging from 15.0x to 18.0x to Beach Bank’s calendar year 2012 estimated earnings (including cost synergies and the accumulated cost of the change in capital). The estimated free cash flows and terminal value were then discounted to present value using discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 15.0%.

For purposes of this analysis, KBW utilized the following assumptions:

·

an earnings growth rate of 8% per annum;

·

an asset growth rate of 8% per annum;

·

a tangible common equity/tangible assets ratio of 7.00%; and

·

a pre-tax benefit/cost of change in capital of 5.50%.

This analysis indicated the following implied reference range for Beach Bank after giving effect to potential cost synergies, as compared to the “Negotiated Value” and the “Adjusted Value:”

KBW has indicated that the discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but noted that it relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Beach Bank.

Financial Impact Analysis. KBW analyzed certain pro forma effects of the acquisition transaction on Sun American Bancorp. KBW made various assumptions regarding cost synergies, certain purchase accounting adjustments (including amortizable identifiable intangibles created in the acquisition transaction), and charges and transaction costs associated with the acquisition transaction.

KBW’s analysis indicated that the acquisition transaction would be immediately accretive to Sun American Bancorp’s GAAP and cash earnings per share. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that Sun American Bancorp’s leverage ratio, tier one risk based capital ratio and total risk based capital ratio would all decline, but remain above regulatory minimums for well capitalized institutions.

For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Sun American Bancorp following the acquisition transaction will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

Miscellaneous. The board of directors of Sun American Bancorp retained KBW as an independent contractor to act as financial adviser to Sun American Bancorp regarding the acquisition transaction. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of banks and bank securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, KBW may, from time to time, purchase securities from, and sell securities to, Sun American Bancorp, Sun American Bank and Beach Bank. As an active trader in securities, KBW may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of Sun American Bancorp for KBW’s own account and for the accounts of its customers.

Sun American Bancorp and KBW have entered into an agreement relating to the services to be provided by KBW in connection with the acquisition transaction. Sun American Bancorp has agreed to pay KBW at the time of closing a cash fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate consideration paid in the acquisition transaction. Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, Sun American Bancorp also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify KBW and certain related parties against certain expenses and liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION TRANSACTION

The descriptions of the terms and conditions of the acquisition transaction, the acquisition agreement, and any related documents in this proxy statement and prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copy of the acquisition agreement attached here to as Appendix A, which is incorporated herein by reference, and to the exhibits to the registration statement.

General

The acquisition agreement provides that, if all of the conditions set forth in the acquisition agreement are satisfied or waived, Sun American Bank will purchase substantially all the assets, and assume substantially all the liabilities, of Beach Bank.

As provided in the acquisition agreement, the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock to be issued and delivered by Sun American Bancorp, as consideration for the purchase of the assets and the assumption of the obligations shall be determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment as expressly provided in the acquisition agreement, and further determined in accordance with the procedures of the acquisition agreement; provided, however, that with respect to the exercised stock or the excess capital, the total dollar value of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock issuable in exchange therefore shall be determined by multiplying 1.0 times the book value of such exercised stock or excess capital calculated based upon the closing balance sheet. For purposes of determining the acquisition transaction consideration, the value per share of Sun American Bancorp common stock to be issued and delivered in the acquisition transaction is $5.00 per share.

Based upon the estimated book value of Beach Bank upon the closing and without giving effect to any closing adjustments required by the acquisition agreement, it is estimated that Sun American Bancorp will issue up to 4,500,000 shares in the acquisition transaction.

Assets Acquired

At the closing, Beach Bank will, validly and effectively, grant, sell, convey and assign to Sun American Bank, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement, all right, title and interest in and to all the assets, properties and rights, tangible and intangible, which are used in, are necessary for, or otherwise constitute the business of Beach Bank, other than excluded assets, and Sun American Bank shall assume, subject to the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement, the assumed liabilities, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, restrictions and other encumbrances or defects of title of any nature whatsoever.

Excluded Assets

Sun American Bank will not acquire the Bank Charter of Beach Bank, and any rights, claims, actions, pending or otherwise, against any person or under any policy of insurance relating, directly or indirectly, to any regulatory claim, potential regulatory claim or any other matter that could be the subject of any regulatory claim or similar action. In the event Beach Bank maintains the existence of its Bank Charter, it agreed not to allow or cause its Bank Charter to be used, operated or sold to any entity that is owned, controlled or otherwise affiliated with or by any former Beach Bank director, officer or employee. There can be no assurance as to whether Beach Bank will obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to maintain its Bank Charter.

Excluded Liabilities

Sun American Bank will not assume any liability for any fines or penalties relating to or arising from regulatory claims. Other than the assumed liabilities, Beach Bank retains all liabilities that relate to the acquired assets or the business of Beach Bank that result from or arise out of any event, occurrence, transaction, action or inaction occurring prior to the closing, including, without limitation, liabilities under any “employee pension benefit plan” or “employee welfare benefit plan,” any product liability, warranty or other claims arising out of or relating to any service sold by Beach Bank at any time before closing, any claims by any third party under any bulk sales law, and any claims relating to patent or trademark infringement, taxes, workers compensation, real estate or environmental, health or safety matters.



36





Payment of Acquisition Transaction Consideration

At the closing, Sun American Bancorp will issue and deliver to Beach Bank and the escrow agent, as applicable, certificates representing an amount of shares of its common stock equal to (i) the acquisition transaction consideration, divided by (ii) $5.00, which is the per share value. Sun American Bancorp will also deliver any cash payable with respect to any fractional shares.

Sun American Bancorp shares will be delivered as follows: (i) at closing, it will deposit 75% of the shares, including up to $100,000 of cash consideration, with the escrow agent to be distributed in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement and the escrow agreement; and (ii) at closing, it will deliver to Beach Bank the remaining 25% of the shares, plus any cash payable with respect to any fractional shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank have agreed that Sun American Bancorp will not deliver any cash consideration at closing. If, between the date of the acquisition agreement and the closing date: (i) Sun American Bancorp’s shares of common stock shall be changed (or it establishes a record date for changing such shares that is prior to the closing date) into a different number or class of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment; (ii) a stock dividend shall be declared (or it establishes a record date for such dividend that is prior to the closing date) in respect of its common stock; or (iii) any distribution is made (or it establishes a record date for such distribution that is prior to the closing date) in respect of its common stock other than a regular quarterly cash dividend consistent with past practice, proportionate adjustments shall be made to the per share value.

Cash will be issued in lieu of fractional shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction pursuant to the formula provided in the acquisition agreement. No later than 60 days following the closing date, Beach Bank must prepare and deliver to Sun American Bancorp an audited final consolidated balance sheet of Beach Bank and its subsidiaries as of the date prior to closing. If any adjustment is required to be made to the closing balance sheet amount and results in an adjustment to the acquisition transaction consideration, then such adjustment, if any, shall be reflected in an adjustment to the escrow fund. For more information on the closing balance sheet procedures, see “Procedures for Determining Closing Balance Sheet” in the acquisition agreement, beginning on page A-12, which provides the detailed procedures required to be followed by Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

Blank Rome LLP has provided an opinion as to the material federal income tax consequences of the acquisition transaction. In summary, their opinion provides that Beach Bank shareholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the receipt of Sun American Bancorp common stock in the acquisition transaction in exchange for the shares of Beach Bank’s stock surrendered. In addition, Beach Bank shareholders who properly exercise their rights to dissent from the acquisition transaction will generally be taxed on all or a portion of the cash they receive. Tax matters are complicated and the tax consequences of the acquisition transaction may vary among shareholders. We urge you to contact your own tax advisor to understand fully how the acquisition transaction will affect you. See the discussion of the tax implications below under the section entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Management and Operations After the Acquisition Transaction

No changes to executive management or the board of directors of Sun American Bancorp are anticipated following consummation of the acquisition.

Interests of Employees and Directors of Beach Bank in the Acquisition Transaction

Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers, who collectively own approximately 37.3% of the outstanding Beach Bank common stock, have agreed to vote in favor of the acquisition agreement and the acquisition transaction. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement and prospectus, Beach Bank shareholders should be aware that Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers have financial interests in the acquisition transaction that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Beach Bank shareholders. In particular, assuming approval of Beach Bank Proposal 2, the unvested stock options of Jose Valdes-Fauli, Beach Bank’s director, President and Chief Executive Officer, will vest immediately upon the closing of the acquisition transaction. In addition, assuming approval of Beach Bank Proposal 2, the exercise price of all of



37





Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s stock options will be repriced to $2.00 per share and Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s pro-rata share of the acquisition transaction consideration will be excluded from the escrow fund established pursuant to the escrow agreement and the liquidating trust. These circumstances may cause some of Beach Bank’s directors and executive officers to view the proposed transaction differently than Beach Bank shareholders may view it.

·

organization, valid existence, good standing and similar corporate matters and the accuracy of its books and records;

·

its capitalization;

·

Conditions to the Acquisition Transaction

·

the acquisition agreement must be approved and adopted by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Beach Bank common stock under applicable law, and Sun American Bancorp’s stockholders must approve the amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares;

·

Sun American Bancorp’s shares of common stock to be issued in the acquisition transaction must be authorized for listing on AMEX;

·

all required regulatory approvals must be obtained and must remain in full force and effect and all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof must have expired;

·

this registration statement must become effective under the Securities Act and no stop order shall have been issued, initiated or threatened by the SEC; and

·

no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or agency or prohibition preventing the consummation of the acquisition transaction shall be in effect. No statute, regulation, order, injunction or decree shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by any governmental entity that prohibits, restricts or makes illegal consummation of the acquisition transaction.

Sun American Bancorp’s obligation to effect the acquisition transaction is also subject to the satisfaction or its waiver at or prior to the closing date of the following conditions:

·

the representations and warranties of Beach Bank set forth in the acquisition agreement shall be true and correct as of the closing date, subject to the provisions of the acquisition agreement;

·

Beach Bank shall have performed, in all material respects, all obligations required to be performed by it under the acquisition agreement at or prior to the closing date;

·

receipt of a certificate of an executive officer of Beach Bank stating that, to his knowledge, certain conditions have been met; and

·

each of the outside Beach Bank board members, except for Tom Walker as provided in the acquisition agreement, shall have executed a non-competition agreement.

The obligation of Beach Bank to effect the acquisition transaction is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Beach Bank at or prior to the closing date of the following conditions:

·

Sun American Bancorp’s representations and warranties set forth in the acquisition agreement shall be true and correct as of the closing date, subject to the provisions of the acquisition agreement;

·

Sun American Bancorp shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under the acquisition agreement at or prior to the closing date; and

·

Beach Bank’s receipt of a certificate of an executive officer of Sun American Bank stating that, to his knowledge, certain conditions have been met.

Regulatory Approvals

The acquisition transaction cannot be completed unless and until Sun American Bancorp obtains all regulatory approvals. The acquisition transaction must be approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank, referred to as the Federal Reserve Board in this proxy statement and prospectus, pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the Bank Merger Act, and by Florida’s Office of Financial Regulation. On August 2, 2006, Sun American Bancorp submitted an application seeking approval of the acquisition transaction to Florida’s Office of Financial Regulation. On August 9, 2006, Sun American Bancorp submitted an



40





application seeking approval of the acquisition transaction to the Federal Reserve Board. On September 15, 2006, Sun American Bancorp responded to comments raised by the Staff of the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, AMEX approval is required in connection with the issuance of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction.

Federal Reserve Board Approval

In reviewing the application, the Federal Reserve Board must withhold approval of the acquisition transaction if it finds that the acquisition transaction will result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may not approve the acquisition transaction if it finds that the effect thereof may be substantially to lessen competition in any section of the country, or tend to create a monopoly, or would in any other manner be in restraint of trade, unless it finds that the anti-competitive effects of the acquisition transaction are clearly outweighed by the probable effect of the acquisition transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. The Federal Reserve Board will also take into consideration, among other factors, Sun American Bancorp’s financial condition, managerial resources and effectiveness in combating money laundering activities. The Federal Reserve Board will consider the convenience and the needs of the communities to be served and Sun American Bancorp’s compliance records under the Community Reinvestment Act.

The Federal Reserve Board is required to furnish notice of and a copy of the application requesting approval of the acquisition transaction to the other federal supervisory and regulatory banking agencies and to the appropriate state regulatory authorities, which will have 30 days to submit their views and recommendations on the acquisition transaction to the Federal Reserve Board. Furthermore, Sun American Bancorp is required to publish notice of the fact that the application has been filed with the Federal Reserve Board and, if there is sufficient public comment about the acquisition transaction, the Federal Reserve Board may hold a public hearing about the acquisition transaction if it determines that such a hearing would be appropriate. If any comments are made or a hearing is called, the period during which the application is subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board may be prolonged and the determination of the Federal Reserve Board on the application for approval may be delayed. In addition, the acquisition transaction may be challenged on antitrust grounds by a private person, a state attorney general or by the United States Department of Justice. If the Department of Justice commences an antitrust action, it will suspend the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve Board’s approval of the acquisition transaction unless and until a court specifically orders otherwise. The Department of Justice may analyze and conclude differently from the Federal Reserve Board about the competitive effects of the acquisition transaction and may impose conditions before it will approve of the acquisition transaction, including requiring the divestiture of assets and branches of any of the parties.

Assuming Federal Reserve Board approval is granted, the acquisition transaction may not be consummated until 30 days after such approval, during which time the Department of Justice may challenge the acquisition transaction on antitrust grounds. With the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the United States Attorney General, the waiting period may be reduced to no less than 15 days. The commencement of any antitrust action, however, would postpone the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve Board approval until a court specifically orders otherwise.

Florida’s Office of Financial Regulation Approval

Florida’s Office of Financial Regulation also must approve the acquisition transaction. Under Section 655.414 of the Florida Banking Code, the Office of Financial Regulation shall issue a certificate of approval for the acquisition transaction only after it reviews the acquisition transaction and makes a determination that after the acquisition transaction, Sun American Bancorp would have an adequate capital structure in relation to its activities and its deposit liabilities, that the acquisition transaction is fair to both parties and that the acquisition transaction is not contrary to the public interest. If the Office of Financial Regulation disapproves the acquisition transaction, it shall state its objections and give Sun American Bancorp an opportunity to amend the acquisition transaction to overcome such objections.

Neither Sun American Bancorp nor Beach Bank are aware of any other material governmental or regulatory approvals or actions that are required to complete the acquisition transaction, other than those described above. Should any other approval or action be required, it is the current intention of both parties to obtain those



41





approvals or actions. Any approval received from the Federal Reserve Board or any other governmental agency reflects only that agency’s view that the acquisition transaction does not contravene the competitive standards imposed by applicable law and regulation, and that the acquisition transaction is consistent with applicable regulatory policies relating to the safety and soundness of the banking industry. The approval of the acquisition transaction by the Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory authorities is not an endorsement or recommendation of the acquisition transaction.

AMEX Approval

Pursuant to Section 301 of the AMEX Company Guide, an AMEX listed company cannot issue additional securities of a listed class until it has filed an application for the listing of the additional securities with AMEX and received a notification that the securities have been approved for listing. As Sun American Bancorp is a company listed on AMEX, it must file an Additional Listing Application with AMEX subsequent to filing the registration statement, in which this proxy statement and prospectus is a part, with the SEC. The approval by AMEX of the Additional Listing Application must be received by Sun American Bancorp prior to the issuance of the Sun American Bancorp shares in connection with the closing of the acquisition transaction.

Amendment, Waiver and Termination

The acquisition agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the closing date, whether before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the acquisition transaction by the shareholders of Beach Bank:

·

by mutual consent of the parties;

·

by either party upon written notice to the other party: (i) 30 days after the date on which any request or application for a requisite regulatory approval shall have been denied or withdrawn at the request or recommendation of the governmental entity unless, within such 30 day period, a petition for rehearing or amended application has been filed, provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate the acquisition agreement if such denial or request or recommendation for withdrawal shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the acquisition agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party; or (ii) if any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acquisition transaction;

·

if the acquisition transaction shall not have been consummated on or before November 30, 2006, unless the failure of the closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the acquisition agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party;

·

if the approval of the shareholders of Beach Bank required for the consummation of the acquisition transaction shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of such shareholders or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

·

by either party, provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in the acquisition agreement, if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in the acquisition agreement on the part of the non-terminating party, which breach is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the breaching party, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate the acquisition agreement unless the breach of representation or warranty, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such representation not to consummate the acquisition transaction.

The acquisition agreement may be amended by written agreement of the parties provided, however, that there may not be, without further approval of the Beach Bank shareholders, any amendment of the acquisition agreement that reduces the amount or changes the form of the consideration to be delivered to Beach Bank shareholders as contemplated in the acquisition agreement.



42





Indemnification

General

Beach Bank will indemnify, defend and hold Sun American Bancorp, its affiliates, respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents harmless from, against, and in respect of, any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments (at equity or at law, including statutory and common) and damages whenever arising or incurred (including amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to the following:

·

any breach of any representation or warranty or determination by Sun American Bancorp that any representation or warranty made by Beach Bank in the acquisition agreement or any ancillary document is false;

·

any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by Beach Bank in the acquisition agreement or in any ancillary documents; or

·

any liability, obligation or taxes arising from any regulatory claim.

Such indemnification is Sun American Bancorp’s exclusive remedy relating to the acquisition transaction.

Claims Period

The claims period commences on the closing date and terminates on the date that is 48 months following the closing date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the claims period, Beach Bank has been properly notified of a claim for indemnity and the claim has not been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, the claim will continue to survive and will remain a basis for indemnity under the acquisition agreement until the claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement.

Liability Limits

The sole and exclusive source of funds for satisfaction of all Sun American Bancorp losses is the escrow fund and the liability of Beach Bank is limited to: (i) 75% of the acquisition transaction consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the closing date and ending on the 6th month anniversary of the closing date; (ii) 50% of the acquisition transaction consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date immediately following the 6th month anniversary of the closing date and ending on the one year anniversary of the closing date; (iii) 25% of the acquisition transaction consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date following the one year anniversary of the closing date and ending on the 18th month anniversary of the closing date; and (iv) 10% of the acquisition transaction consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date following the 18th month anniversary of the closing date and ending on the 4 year anniversary of the closing date. The escrow fund will be accordingly reduced to reflect the limitation on liability and the Sun American Bancorp’s shares held in the escrow fund will be distributed in accordance with the written instructions of the shareholder representative in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement. Any shares remaining in the escrow following the satisfaction of all claims made prior to the 4 year anniversary of the closing date will be distributed as provided in the escrow agreement.

Liability Claims Threshold

Sun American Bancorp will not make a claim for indemnification unless and until the aggregate amount of such losses exceeds $200,000 in which case it may only make claims for indemnification for losses exceeding that amount; provided, however, that in the event any such claims for losses arise from any prior regulatory action against Beach Bank, including, but not limited to: (i) the Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease & Desist with the FDIC and the Office of Financial Regulation of the State of Florida dated October 27, 2004; (ii) any deficiencies in the compliance programs of Beach Bank under the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA PATRIOT Act; (iii) taxes; and (iv) any other such regulatory review based claims, will not be subject to such limitation and Beach Bank is responsible for all losses from the first dollar.



43

Expenses and Fees

The acquisition agreement provides that expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein will be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses. Sun American Bancorp will pay the filing fee in connection with the registration statement and this proxy statement and prospectus and all of the printing costs incurred in connection with printing the registration statement and this proxy statement and prospectus.

Accounting Treatment

The acquisition transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Sun American Bank has been identified as the acquiring entity and Beach Bank as the acquired entity. Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of an acquired company as of the effective time of the acquisition are recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the acquiring company. Financial statements issued after consummation of an acquisition accounted for as a purchase would reflect such values and include the results of the acquired company since the date of acquisition.

Dissenters’ and Appraisal Rights

Under Florida law, each shareholder of Beach Bank entitled to vote on the acquisition transaction who complies with the procedures set forth in Section 658.44, Florida Statutes, relating to the rights of dissenting shareholders, referred to as the dissent provisions in this proxy statement and prospectus, is entitled to receive in cash the value of his or her shares of Beach Bank common stock. A Beach Bank shareholder must comply strictly with the procedures set forth in the dissent provisions. Failure to follow any such procedures will result in a termination or waiver of his or her dissenters’ rights.

To perfect dissenters’ rights, a holder of Beach Bank common stock must vote against approval of the acquisition agreement or provide written notice to Beach Bank at or prior to the meeting of the shareholders



45





indicating that such shareholder dissents from the acquisition agreement. Such written notification to be delivered either in person or by mail (certified mail, return receipt requested, being the recommended form of transmittal) to Beach Bank, 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140, Attention: Corporate Secretary. All such communications should be signed by or on behalf of the dissenting Beach Bank shareholder in the form in which his or her shares are registered on the books of Beach Bank. If a shareholder has not provided written notice of dissent at or prior to the meeting or on or prior to the date specified for action by the shareholders without a meeting and such shareholder does not vote against the acquisition transaction, the shareholder will be deemed to have waived his or her dissenters’ rights. Note that a failure to return a proxy card and an abstention from voting at the meeting will not be deemed to be a vote against the acquisition transaction for purposes of determining a shareholder’s dissenters’ rights.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the provisions of the Florida Statutes relating to statutory dissenters’ rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the dissent provisions, which are reproduced in full in Appendix B to this proxy statement and prospectus and which are incorporated herein by reference.

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP AND BEACH BANK
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the acquisition transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30,2006 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 give effect to the acquisition transaction, accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the aggregate consideration paid is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values on the effective date of the acquisition transaction. Any excess purchase price is recorded as goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statement have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values. The actual amounts recorded as of the closing of the acquisition transaction may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements. In addition, the impact of ongoing integration activities, the timing of the closing of the acquisition transaction and other changes in Beach Bank’s net tangible and intangible assets that occur prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction could cause material differences in the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 has been derived from the unaudited interim financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank included elsewhere in this proxy statement and prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 is based on the audited financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank included elsewhere in this proxy statement and prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income give effect to the acquisition transaction as if it had been consummated as of January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements in connection with the acquisition transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be considered together with the historical financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement and prospectus. The pro forma financial information is based on certain assumptions described in the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information and does not necessarily indicate the consolidated financial position or the results of operations in the future or the consolidated financial position or the results of operations that would have been realized had the acquisition transaction been consummated during the periods or as of the date for which the pro forma financial information is presented.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

In the opinion of Blank Rome LLP, the following discussion summarizes certain material federal income tax consequences of the acquisition transaction, assuming that the acquisition transaction is effected as described in the acquisition agreement and this registration statement. This opinion and the following discussion are based on currently existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to as the Code in this proxy statement and prospectus, existing Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences of the transaction to the shareholders of Beach Bank.

Any discussion of federal tax issues in this proxy statement and prospectus is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, shareholders are hereby notified that: (A) any discussion of federal tax issues in this proxy statement and prospectus is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by shareholders, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on them under the Internal Revenue Code; (B) such discussion is written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (C) shareholders should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular Beach Bank shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to Beach Bank shareholders who are subject to special rules, such as:

·

financial institutions and mutual funds;

·

banks;

·

insurance companies;

·

investment companies;

·

retirement plans;

·

tax-exempt organizations;

·

brokers or dealers in securities or foreign securities;

·

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method;

·

persons that hold their Beach Bank common stock as part of a straddle, a hedge against a currency risk or a constructive sale or conversion transaction;

·

persons that are or who hold their Beach Bank common stock through partnerships or pass-through entities;

·

persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States or who are expatriates, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or foreign estates or trusts;

·

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

·

persons who hold Beach Bank common stock as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code;

·

persons who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; or

·

persons who acquired their Beach Bank common stock in connection with a stock option or stock purchase plan or in some other compensatory transaction, such as any 401(k) plan, deferred compensation plan or other retirement plan.

This discussion assumes that Beach Bank’s shareholders hold their shares of Beach Bank common stock as capital assets. It further assumes that none of the cash consideration allowed to be paid pursuant to the acquisition agreement or any other cash consideration will be paid in the acquisition transaction except for (i) cash paid directly



53





by Beach Bank to Beach Bank shareholders who dissent from the acquisition transaction and who do not become stockholders of Sun American Bancorp and (ii) cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, the following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the acquisition transaction under foreign, state or local tax laws. Furthermore, the discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effected before, after or at the same time as the acquisition transaction, whether or not they are in connection with the acquisition transaction, including, without limitation, transactions in which persons acquired Beach Bank common stock or disposed of Sun American Bancorp shares.

Beach Bank shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition transaction, as well as the effects of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws and U.S. tax laws other than income tax laws.

This summary is limited to taxpayers who are U.S. holders for federal income tax purposes. You are a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if you are:

·

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

·

a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state (including the District of Columbia),

·

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

·

a trust if (x) a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) certain circumstances apply and the trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person.

This discussion is, and the opinion of counsel will be, subject to certain assumptions, limitations and qualifications, and are based upon the facts, representations and certain customary factual assumptions, including representations contained in tax certificates executed by officers of Sun American Bancorp, Sun American Bank and Beach Bank. If any of those representations or assumptions are inaccurate, the tax consequences of the acquisition transaction could differ materially from those summarized below. The tax consequences of the acquisition transaction could also differ materially from those summarized below if there is an adverse change in U.S. federal income tax law. This discussion and the tax opinions do not bind the Internal Revenue Service from adopting a contrary position, and it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert a contrary position in litigation or other proceedings.

It is the opinion of Blank Rome LLP that the acquisition transaction constitutes a tax-free reorganization with the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Assuming that the transaction constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences will result to Beach Bank shareholders:

Beach Bank Shareholders Who Receive Only Sun American Bancorp Common Stock

No Gain or Loss. Subject to the discussion below regarding cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock, Beach Bank shareholders receiving solely Sun American Bancorp common stock in the acquisition transaction will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the receipt of Sun American Bancorp common stock in the acquisition transaction.

Tax Basis and Holding Period. A Beach Bank shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Sun American Bancorp common stock received, including any fractional shares deemed received, as discussed below, will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Beach Bank common stock surrendered in the acquisition transaction. A Beach Bank shareholder’s holding period for the Sun American Bancorp common stock received will include the holding period for the Beach Bank common stock surrendered in the acquisition transaction.

Beach Bank Shareholders Who Dissent and Receive Only Cash

Gain or Loss. A Beach Bank shareholder receiving solely cash in the transaction and who does not actually or constructively own any Sun American Bancorp common stock after the acquisition transaction will recognize capital gain or loss as a result of the transaction in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of



54





cash received and the Beach Bank shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares surrendered in exchange therefor. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder’s holding period is more than one year as of the date of the acquisition transaction.

Cash Payments Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares

Gain or Loss. Cash payments received by Beach Bank shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock will be treated as if such fractional shares had been issued in the acquisition transaction and then redeemed by Sun American Bancorp. A Beach Bank shareholder receiving such cash will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon such payment, equal to the difference, if any, between such Beach Bank shareholder’s tax basis in the fractional share and the amount of cash received. The capital gain or loss will be long-term if the holding period for such Beach Bank common stock is more than one year as of the date of the acquisition transaction.

Tax Treatment of the Entities

No Gain or Loss. No gain or loss will be recognized by Beach Bank or Sun American Bancorp as a result of the acquisition transaction.

Other relevant tax considerations in connection with the acquisition transaction include the following:

In general, Beach Bank shareholders receiving cash in the transaction (other than solely for fractional shares) will be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 28%) will generally apply if the exchanging Beach Bank shareholder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or fails to properly certify that it is not subject to backup withholding (generally on a substitute IRS Form W-9). Certain holders (including, among others, non-U.S. holders and U.S. corporations) are not subject to information reporting or backup withholding, but they may still need to furnish a substitute IRS Form W-9 or W-8 or otherwise establish an exemption. Any amount withheld as backup withholding from payments to an exchanging Beach Bank shareholder will be creditable against the Beach Bank shareholder’s federal income tax liability, provided that it timely furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service. Beach Bank shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining an exemption.

No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service has been or will be requested in connection with the transaction. In addition, shareholders of Beach Bank should be aware that the opinions of counsel discussed in this section are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the Internal Revenue Service could adopt a contrary position, which could be sustained by a court.

The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition transaction and does not purport to be a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects relevant thereto. Thus, Beach Bank shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the acquisition transaction, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, federal, state, local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

INFORMATION ABOUT SUN AMERICAN BANCORP AND SUN AMERICAN BANK

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.

General

History

We are a single bank holding company headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida and organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The corporate office is located at 1200 N. Federal Highway, Suite 111-A in Boca Raton, Florida  33432. Our telephone number is (561) 826-0464. We are a reporting company and file the following reports and other information with the SEC: Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB, Form 8-K, and Schedule 14A. Our financial information and reporting history may be accessed through the EDGAR online service.

We were 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 branches in Miami-Dade County, Florida. On January 12, 2006, we changed our name from PanAmerican Bancorp to Sun American Bancorp. Our board of directors and stockholders approved the name change. In addition, the trading symbol for our 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.

Sun American Bank

We own 99.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sun American Bank. Sun American Bank is chartered by the State of Florida and is engaged in general commercial banking providing a wide range of loan and deposit services. Sun American Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC and it is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Sun American Bank’s primary market areas are Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County in southeast Florida, where it currently operates nine full-service branch offices.

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. Management does not believe that the deposits or the business of Sun American Bank in general are seasonal in nature. Deposit levels may, however, vary with local and national economic conditions.

Mortgage lending activities include commercial, industrial, and residential loans secured by real estate. Sun American 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. Sun American Bank also provides a merchant credit card program. Sun American Bank’s installment loan department makes direct auto, home equity, home improvement, and personal loans to individuals.

Management is not aware of any environmental liabilities that would have a material adverse effect on the operations or earnings of our company or Sun American Bank.

Financial Highlights

We have experienced significant growth in recent years through select acquisitions and internal generation of new business. Management has focused on growing the loan portfolio by concentrating on origination of high-



56





quality real estate loans, and by competitively pricing deposit products to maintain our interest rate spread. Management has also closely monitored operating expenses in an effort to enhance the financial results. Highlights are noted below:

·

Total assets have grown from $191.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $277.2 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of 44.8%. Total assets have grown from $277.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $320.9 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of 15.8%.

·

Total loans have grown from $153.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $210.7 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of 37.1%. Total loans have grown from $210.7 million at December 31, 2005 to $251.7 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of 19.5%.

·

Total deposits have grown from $158.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $193.5 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of 22.3%. Total deposits have grown from $193.5 million at December 31, 2005 to $244.1 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of 26.1%.

·

Stockholders’ equity has grown from $20.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $59.6 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of 187.9%. Stockholders’ equity has grown from $59.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $62.2 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of 4.4%.

Growth Strategy

We intend to continue to expand our business through internal growth as well as through the select acquisition of the assets and assumption of deposits of other banks as opportunities are identified. We will also seek to acquire other community banks in South Florida subject to favorable pricing considerations. We intend to grow internally by opening new branches, 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.

Operating Strategy

Focus on increasing net loans. Our lending activities focus primarily on providing local businesses with commercial business loans and loans secured by real estate. We are increasing our efforts to develop new business relationships and have increased our marketing efforts. Typically, we seek commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $10.0 million. Sun American Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $13.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005, and $13.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2006. In addition, we share participation in loans with other banks for loans generated that exceed our or the other bank’s legal lending limit.

Attract and retain highly qualified and productive staff across all levels of the organization and focusing on low net overhead. Key to our 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. Our 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. We 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. We are 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 our capital base to support business growth. The periodic addition of new capital to support business growth is a core component required to permit us to achieve growth plans. In 2005, we completed several private offerings of equity securities that contributed $35.5 million of net new capital to us. In addition to the private placement offerings, $919,000 of new capital was raised through the exercise of warrants and options. In the first quarter of 2006, we completed a private offering to an accredited investor of equity securities that contributed



57





$125,000 of net new capital to us. In addition to this private placement offering, $1.5 million of new capital was raised through the exercise of warrants and options through the first six months of 2006.

Market Area

Our primary market areas for loan and deposit growth are Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in southeast Florida where we operate nine full-service banking offices. This metropolitan area has a large and diverse population. Southeast Florida traditionally has strong tourism and taxable sales. The area experiences high tourism and housing demand both of which benefit from the influx of visitors and residents migrating from the northern states, Canada, other Florida counties, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe. We have also experienced a growing demand for commercial loans throughout our market areas.

The diverse South Florida region includes a large population of retirees. In addition, many of Sun American Bank’s customers, due to their Hispanic backgrounds, speak Spanish. In Miami-Dade County, Sun American Bank has five full service banking offices. In Broward County, the bank has a full service banking branch located in the city of Hollywood. In Palm Beach County, the bank has three full service branches located in the cities of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Palm Beach Gardens.

Competition

We face 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 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 that Sun American Bank does not currently provide. In addition, many of Sun American Bank’s non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Sun American Bank competes by offering high levels of attention to its customers, providing personalized services that its larger competitors cannot match. In those instances where Sun American Bank is unable to provide services a customer needs, it arranges for those services to be provided by other banks with which it has business relationships.

We maintain a strong community orientation by, among other things, supporting active participation of our employees in local business, charitable, civic, school and church activities.

Supervision and Regulation

We and Sun American 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 and Sun American Bank’s 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 proxy statement and prospectus, has authority to initiate civil and administrative actions and take other measures against Sun American 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 banking 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 Bank under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, referred to as the BHC Act in this proxy statement and prospectus. As such, we and Sun American 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 and Sun American Bank. Under Federal Reserve Bank



58





regulations and other Federal Reserve Bank authority, we are required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to Sun American 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 should 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 personal 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 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 proxy statement and prospectus, 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 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 Sun American Bank is the Federal Reserve Bank and, therefore, Sun American 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, Sun American 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 Sun American Bank are insured by the FDIC in the maximum individual amounts of $100,000 each. The Florida Department of Financial Services supervises and regulates all areas of Sun American 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, Sun American 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 June 30, 2006, Sun American Bank was in compliance with both the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage capital ratio.

In 2005, we entered into agreements with the federal and state regulators to remain well capitalized and improve our policies and procedures in administrative areas affecting internal audit, asset and liability management and compliance and agreed to periodically report to the regulatory authorities on our progress in these areas. These agreements ended in 2006.

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 Department of Financial Services 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) if the Florida Department of Financial Services 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 Florida Department of Financial Services 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 Sun American Bank must be submitted to the Florida Department of Financial Services 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



60





Sun American 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

Sun American 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 Sun American Bank. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of Sun American 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.

Sun American 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 Sun American Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on its capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed.

Investment Activities

Sun American 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, Sun American Bank may also invest a portion of its assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities. As a Federal Reserve Bank member bank, Sun American Bank is required to maintain an investment in Federal Reserve Bank stock. In addition, Sun American 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. Sun American Bank is required under state and federal regulations to maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets.

A committee consisting of Sun American Bank 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 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, Sun American 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 repayments). The effect that the proposed investment would have on Sun American 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. Sun American Bank is subject to a variety of fair lending laws and reporting obligations involving home mortgage lending operations and Community Reinvestment Act, referred to as the CRA in this proxy statement and prospectus, activities. The CRA generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate 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



61





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, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. At Sun American Bank’s most recent evaluation during 1999, the Federal Reserve Bank rated Sun American Bank “Satisfactory” in complying with its CRA obligations.

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 Sun American 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.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

Deposit Insurance Assessments. Deposit accounts in Sun American 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 three categories based on their capitalization and one of three subcategories based on examination ratings and other supervisory information. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the categories 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 at the required ratio of reserves to insured deposits of 1.25% 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.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, referred to as the Reform Act in this proxy statement and prospectus, 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 provide for dividends or rebates when the fund grows beyond a specified threshold; (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



62





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 replacing the current fixed reserve ratio requirement of 1.25% with a range of 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 FDIC is required to adopt final rules for the rest of the provisions no later than 270 days after enactment. On May 9, 2006, the FDIC approved three proposed rules governing deposit insurance assessments that implement the Reform Act. While the assessment method has not been determined yet, Sun American Bank will face deposit insurance premium expense. The web site for the FDIC is www.fdic.gov. The information on the web site is not and should not be considered part of this proxy statement and prospectus and is not incorporated by reference in this proxy statement and prospectus. This web site is and is only intended to be an inactive textual reference.

Deposit Accounts. Most of Sun American Bank’s depositors are residents of the State of Florida. Deposits are attracted from within Sun American 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 the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, Sun American Bank considers current market interest rates, profitability to the bank, matching deposit and loan products and its customer preferences and concerns. Sun American Bank reviews its deposit mix and pricing weekly.

Borrowings. Sun American Bank has the ability to borrow from correspondent banks to supplement its supply of lendable 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. We have established a correspondent relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida with respect to the foregoing services. At December 31, 2005, Sun American Bank maintained an unsecured line of credit of $5.0 million and we maintained 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, 2005 and June 30, 2006.

Equity and Capital Resources. Sun American 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 Sun American Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

Sun American 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 proxy statement and prospectus 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 June 30, 2006, we have met the capital adequacy requirements as defined by these definitions, and were well capitalized.

Dividends. There are various limitations under law on the ability of Sun American Bank to pay dividends. The Federal Reserve Bank and the Florida Department of Financial Services 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 Florida Department of Financial Services, 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;

·

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;



64





·

must maintain records identifying the owner of the foreign bank for which they may maintain a correspondent account and its agent in the Unites 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.

At June 30, 2006, Sun American 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 Sun American Bank’s anti-money laundering program as of June 30, 2006 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.

Federal and State Taxation

We report our and Sun American Bank’s income on a fiscal year, consolidated basis and on the accrual method of accounting, and are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly Sun American Bank’s reserve for bad debts discussed below.

Legal Proceedings

We and Sun American 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 Sun American Bank, which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business or financial position.

On May 12, 2004, Fausto Marquez commenced an action against Sun American Bank, Case No. 03-21466 20, Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. Mr. Marquez alleged that Sun American Bank had interfered with his efforts to purchase Gulf Bank. The trial court has dismissed the claims, with prejudice. Mr. Marquez has filed an appeal, which is pending. The possible outcome of the appeal is uncertain and the amount sought by Mr. Marquez is unknown.

On June 2, 2006, Sun American Bancorp, Michael Golden, and Franklin Financial Group, LLC were named as defendants in a civil suit brought by former board members Sam Caliendo and G. Carlton Marlowe, Case No. 502006CA005467XXXXMB, Palm Beach County Circuit Court. The plaintiffs allege that they did not receive compensation, including options and warrants, that was promised to them while they were board members. Mr. Caliendo further alleges that he was not paid for services provided to Mr. Golden, individually, and to Franklin Financial Group, LLC. Sun American Bancorp and Mr. Golden have moved to dismiss the complaint and deny the allegations.

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATION

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.

Overview

Our primary market and service area is Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties where we operated eight full service banking offices as of June 30, 2006. 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 and Gulf Bank in February 2004. Since these transactions, we have pursued a growth 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our capital base was increased by approximately $1.5 million through the exercise of our warrants and employee stock options. During 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, we completed several private offerings to investors which added $35.5 million and $125,000, respectively, of net new capital. The first private placement in March of 2005 involved the sale of 1,586,000 units at an offering price of $4.00 per unit, each of which consisted of one share of common stock and one Class E Warrant. Each Class E Warrant has a five year term and provides the holder with the right to purchase one share of common stock for $4.25. We received net proceeds of $5.7 million from this offering. The other private placements involved the sale of 8,266,000 units at an offering price of $4.00 per unit, each of which consisted of one share of common stock and one Class F Warrant. Each Class F Warrant has a five year term and provides the holder with the right to purchase 0.5 share of common stock for $4.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $29.9 million from this offering. We are committed to raising additional capital as required to meet business growth requirements and maintain Sun American Bank’s status as a well capitalized financial institution. Sun American Bank’s capital exceeded statutory guidelines at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. There were no dividends declared in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 nor in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

We intend to continue to expand our business through internal growth as well as through the select acquisition of the assets and assumption of deposits of other banks if and when opportunities are identified. We will also seek to acquire other community banks in South Florida subject to favorable pricing considerations. We intend to grow internally by opening new branches, 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, 2005, we had total assets of $277.2 million, net loans of $210.7 million, deposits of $193.5 million and stockholders’ equity of $59.6 million. Average total assets increased by $74.4 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 due to management’s efforts to grow Sun American Bank. Capital growth corresponded with the overall growth of Sun American Bank. The average equity to average assets ratio increased to 14.62% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 from 10.68% during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. As of June 30, 2006, we had total assets of $320.9 million, net loans of $251.7 million, deposits of $244.1 million and stockholders’ equity of $62.2 million.

Our results of operations are primarily dependent upon the results of operations of Sun American Bank. Sun American 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 Sun American 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)



69





to offset operating expenses. Any excess thereof is pre-tax profit earned by Sun American Bank. The careful balance sought between the interest rate earned, frequency of rate changes, and interest rate paid to Sun American 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, Sun American 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.

One of the strategies to maintain current profits of Sun American Bank is to control operating expenses. 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. We have improved profitability since 2001. Net income was $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to net losses of $228,000 and $443,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Earnings in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 were driven by a 61% increase in average net loans resulting in higher net interest income and loan fees, coupled with a strong focus on credit quality, which resulted in lower provision for loan losses. This improvement in revenues and provision for loan losses more than offset the increases in non-interest expenses. Net income was $854,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to net income of $1,116,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in net income was due, in part, to the recognition of stock-based compensation expense upon adoption of and in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment,” referred to as FAS 123R in this proxy statement and prospectus, of approximately $243,000.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

We reported net income of $854,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $1,116,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is the recognition of stock-based compensation expense upon adoption of and in accordance with FAS 123R of approximately $243,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.05 and $0.04, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.12 and $0.11, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, after a $14,361 dividend on preferred stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share reflect 8.9 million shares issued since June 2005.

The change in the results of operations from the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 was due to an improvement in net interest income related to the increase in the commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios during the period. The increase in net interest income was more than offset by higher provision for loan losses, a decrease in non-interest income, an increase in non-interest expense, and stock-based compensation as more fully discussed below.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $7.4 million, compared to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $2.5 million, or 51%.

Income from interest earning deposits, securities and mortgage-backed related securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold and Federal Reserve Bank stock increased by $401,000, or 73%, to $954,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $553,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to a 69 basis point increase in yield from 2005 and by an increase of $13.6 million, or 45%, in average volume investments and federal funds sold.

Interest and fees on loans increased by $4.1 million, or 64%, in the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding of $68.5 million from $169.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $237.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily due to increasing loan origination. These volume increases were further enhanced by higher interest yields of 130 basis points when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The yield



70





on interest-earning assets was 8.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a 119 basis point increase from 7.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Sun American Bank has experienced an impact from rising interest rates in 2006 and assets have been invested at higher rates in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Total interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 99%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances of $64.6 million, or 51%, to $191.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $127.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in deposit interest expense was primarily attributed to the increase in volume of deposits as well as increased rates of 133 basis points on a year over year basis. Conversely, other average borrowings decreased to $15.3 million for the six fiscal moths ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to lower average FHLB advances of $6.4 million on a year over year basis.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased $165,000, or 28%, to $420,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $585,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a change in Sun American Bank’s funds availability policy favorable to clients resulting in lower fee income from not sufficient funds (NSF) and uncollected funds service charges.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $2.5 million, or 64%, to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the increase size of Sun American Bank and to the recognition of stock-based compensation expense upon adoption of FAS 123R in 2006. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $243,000, non-interest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 58%, to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The increase in total non-interest expense over the previous year was partially due to a $1.5 million, or 81%, increase in salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005, due primarily to increases in staffing and stock-based compensation expense recognized in 2006. Sun American Bank has added new staff across most business lines due to increased volume of activity and in order to develop new client business and service existing client needs. As of June 30, 2006, the number of full time equivalent employees was 92 compared to 64 as of June 30, 2005. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $243,000, salaries and employee benefits increased $1.3 million, or 68%, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $775,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increased cost was primarily due to rent expenses for two new branch locations, three other branch locations to be opened later in the year and in early 2007, and rent expense for the new bank operations center.

Other expenses increased $476,000 to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase was due to higher costs in many operating expense categories due to the larger size of Sun American Bank, including advertising and costs associated with the name change in early 2006 from PanAmerican Bank and our name change to Sun American Bancorp. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately $235,000 was spent on an advertising campaign promoting Sun American Bank’s services and new brand as well as other expenditures associated with the name change.

Provision for Loan Losses. Although management uses its best judgment in underwriting each loan, industry experience indicates that a portion of Sun American Bank’s loans will become delinquent. Regardless of underwriting criteria utilized, Sun American Bank may experience losses as a result of many factors beyond its 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 collateral that supports Sun American Bank’s loan portfolio.

Management determined a provision totaling $569,000 was needed for the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to new loan business booked during this period and additional reserves for impaired loans. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $473,000.



71





Provision for Income Taxes. The realization of deferred tax assets associated with the net operating loss carryforward, as well as other deductible temporary differences, is dependent upon generating sufficient future taxable income. A valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset has been recorded to reflect management’s estimate of the temporary deductible differences that may expire prior to their utilization. No income tax expense or benefit has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. As of June 30, 2006, we generated sufficient taxable income and incurred a current tax liability of $442,000. However, management reversed the valuation allowance and recorded an offset to current tax expense effectively realizing a deferred tax asset associated with net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized this fiscal year.

Results of Operations from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005

In this section, unless the context provides otherwise, references to 2005 and 2004 are to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Net income for 2005 was $2.9 million, compared to a net loss of $228,000 for 2004. This represents a positive change of $3.1 million. Earnings for 2005 as compared to 2004 were primarily impacted by a $4.8 million increase in net interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan loss of $0.9 million, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in operating expenses. The increased size of the business was due to organic growth of the loan and deposit portfolio in 2005 and the full year impact of the growth initiatives taken in 2004.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2005 was $11.3 million, compared to $6.5 million for 2004, an increase of $4.8 million, or 73%. Income from 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 $352,000 from $846,000 for 2004, primarily due to a $3.5 million, or 13%, increase in average volume of investments during the period. In addition, the average interest yield on investments increased to 4.02% in 2005 from 3.86% in 2004 and the average interest yield on federal funds sold increased to 3.31% in 2005 from 1.07% in 2004. Interest income and fees on loans increased by $6.9 million, or 86%, in 2005 as compared to 2004. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding to $188.1 million for 2005 from $116.8 million for 2004. The largest increases were $43.9 million and $26.4 million in commercial real estate and residential real estate loans, respectively. These increases related to volume were enhanced by significantly higher average interest yields experienced by Sun American Bank on the overall loan portfolio in 2005 of 7.89% compared to 6.85% in 2004. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 7.32% for 2005, a 119 basis point increase from 6.13% for 2004, primarily as a result of improved yields in the loan portfolio due to increasing market interest rates.

Total interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 107%, from $2.3 million for 2004 to $4.7 million for 2005. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $137.7 million for 2005 from $101.1 million for 2004. The average balance of NOW and money market accounts increased $5.3 million in 2005. Average balances of certificates of deposit increased $32.4 million during 2005. 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. In addition funding was obtained through the FHLB. The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased $17.3 million in 2005. 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 2.97% for 2005 from 2.17% for 2004.

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 Sun American Bank’s collateral securing the loans.

The allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 2005 was $2.1 million, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2004. Through the normal review of the allowance for loan losses, management determined additional provision was required due to the increase in loan balances in the year.

Management further identified its Business Manager relationships as a principle area of concern and eliminated the product line by taking a write off of $582,000 in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, management



72





charged off a further $514,000 in 2004 of loans for which it was determined that the borrower had insufficient ability to repay.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $106,000, or 11%, from $969,000 for 2004 to $1.1 million for 2005.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $1.1 million in 2005 from $1.0 million in 2004, an increase of 7%. Fees were higher due to a larger client base. Also included in non-interest income was a $8,000 gain on the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale during 2005. There was a sale of an investment security classified as available-for-sale in 2004 that resulted in a loss of $33,000 in 2004.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 42%, from $6.3 million for 2004 to $9.0 million for 2005. The increase in non-interest expenses reflects the impact of the growth of Sun American Bank in 2005 both from the Gulf Bank transaction and internal growth.

Salaries and benefits increased to $4.2 million in 2005 from $2.8 million in 2004. This is an increase of $1.4 million, or 50%. The increase was due to the addition of 19 people in 2005 to service a larger banking operation. Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $1.7 million in 2005 from $1.5 million in 2004, an increase of $269,000, or 18%. This increase was due to the cost of operating three new branches in the Miami-Dade area acquired as part of the Gulf Bank transaction for the full year of 2005, compared to only 10 months in 2004. In addition, Sun American Bank’s Boynton Beach branch in Palm Beach County commenced operations in April 2005. Data and item processing costs decreased by $23,000, or 4%, to $498,000 for 2005 from $520,000 for 2004. Excluding $222,000 of integration costs incurred in 2004 to combine the former Gulf Bank operations into our bank systems, data and item processing costs increased by $199,000, mostly the result of a larger customer and deposit base of Sun American Bank in 2005.

Other expenses increased to $2.5 million in 2005 from $1.5 million in 2004. This is an increase of $1.0 million, or 67%, and reflects the larger size of Sun American Bank. Professional fees increased by $562,000 primarily due to increased costs for general counsel, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, recruiting, and investor relations. Advertising expenses increased by $162,000 in 2005 as a result of various special rate promotions in local media as well as costs associated with the name change from PanAmerican Bank. Directors’ fees of $120,000 were paid in 2005, but none were paid in 2004. Internal and external audit costs increased by $113,000 due to the growing complexity and size of Sun American Bank. In the current environment in which Sun American Bank operates, there is a continued need to allocate more resources to meet regulatory compliance requirements particularly for the new Bank Secrecy Act and USA PATRIOT Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management expects to experience higher expenses in future years to meet compliance requirements.

Provision for Income Taxes. We recorded no income taxes in 2005 as a result of decreasing the valuation allowance for the realizable portion of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance decreased $1.2 million in 2005 eliminating the need to provide for income tax expense. In 2004, we recorded a valuation allowance in an amount equal to our net deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations From December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004

In this section, unless the context provides otherwise, references to 2004 and 2003 are to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The net loss recognized for 2004 was $228,000, compared to a net loss of $443,000 for 2003. This was a positive change of $215,000. Earnings for 2004 as compared to 2003 were primarily impacted by a $2.8 million increase in net interest income, offset by a $2.5 million increase in operating expenses and a $419,000 increase in the provision for loan losses. The increased size of the business is due to the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Gulf Bank in February 2004 and due to internal growth of the loan and deposit portfolio in 2004.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2004 was $6.5 million as compared to $3.7 million for 2003, an increase of $2.8 million, or 76%. Income from interest earning deposits, securities and mortgage-backed related securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock increased by $258,000 from $588,000 for 2003, primarily due to a $6.5 million, or 31%, increase in average volume of investments during the period. Management used funds invested in lower-yielding federal funds at December 31, 2003 to purchase investments with higher



73





yields during 2004. Interest and fees on loans increased by $3.7 million, or 84%, in 2004 compared to 2003. The increase in loan income resulted from an increase in total average loan balances outstanding to $116.7 million for 2004 from $65.4 million for 2003. The largest increases were $7.0 million and $42.9 million in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, respectively. These increases related to volume were enhanced by modestly higher average interest yields experienced by Sun American Bank on the overall loan portfolio in 2004 of 6.85% compared to 6.64% in 2003. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 6.13% for 2004, a 43 basis point increase from 5.70% for 2003, primarily as a result of improved yields in the loan portfolio.

Total interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 92%, from $1.2 million for 2003 to $2.3 million for 2004. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $101.1 million for 2004 from $64.1 million for 2003. The average balance of NOW and money market accounts decreased $7.4 million in 2004. Average balances of certificates of deposit increased $40.4 million during 2004. When additional funds were needed to fulfill lending commitments and securities purchases, management used liquidity of $28 million that was received in the Gulf Bank transaction plus increased deposits by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts. In addition, funding was obtained through the FHLB. In addition to the increase in the average balance of deposits, there was an increase in the yield paid on interest-bearing deposits to 2.17% for 2004 from 1.79% for 2003.

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 Sun American Bank’s collateral securing the loans.

The allowance for loan loss as of December 31, 2004 was $1.7 million, compared to $738,000 at December 31, 2003. Through the normal review of the allowance for loan losses, management determined additional provision was required due to the increase in loan balances in the year.

Management further identified its Business Manager relationships as a principal area of concern and eliminated the product line by taking a write off of $582,000 in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, management charged off a further $514,000 in 2004 of loans for which it was determined that the borrower had insufficient ability to repay.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $315,000, or 48%, from $654,000 for 2003 to $969,000 for 2004. The increase of total other income was the result of the increased size of Sun American Bank in 2004 due to the Gulf Bank transaction.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased to $1.0 million in 2004 from $601,000 in 2003, an increase of 66%. Fees were higher due to a larger client base and due to efforts by management to improve fee collection processes in 2004. Also included in non-interest income was a $33,000 loss on the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale during 2004. There were sales of investments classified as held-to-maturity that resulted in a net gain of $38,000 in 2003. This was an isolated transaction that was required upon discovery that purchase of the investment exceeded investment guidelines at the time of purchase.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $2.4 million, or 61.5%, from $3.9 million for 2003 to $6.3 million for 2004. The increase in non-interest expenses reflects the impact of the growth of Sun American Bank in 2004 both from the Gulf Bank transaction and internal growth.

Salaries and benefits increased to $2.8 million in 2004 from $1.7 million in 2003. This is an increase of $1.1 million, or 65%. The increase was due to the addition of 26 people in 2004 to service a larger banking operation. Occupancy and equipment expense increased to $1.5 million in 2004 from $667,000 in 2003, an increase of $788,000, or 118%. This increase was due to the added space required to house the larger banking operations in our Coral Way, Miami office, which served as our corporate headquarters until August 2006. It is also due to the cost of operation of three new branches in the Miami-Dade area acquired as part of the Gulf Bank transaction. Data and item processing costs increased by $155,000, or 42.4%, to $520,000 for 2004 from $365,000 for 2003, primarily due to $222,000 of integration costs to combine former Gulf Bank operations into our bank systems and offset by operational efficiencies.



74





Other expenses increased to $1.5 million in 2004 from $1.1 million in 2003. This is an increase of $400,000, or 36%, and reflects the larger size of Sun American Bank subsequent to the Gulf Bank transaction. Professional fees increased by $77,000, and insurance costs (general liability and FDIC) increased by $94,000 due to higher asset values. Communication expenses (telephone and computer) increased by $170,000 in 2004. In the current environment that Sun American Bank operates in there is a continued need to allocate more resources to meet regulatory compliance requirements particularly for the new Bank Secrecy Act and USA PATRIOT Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management expects to experience higher expenses in future years to meet compliance requirements.

Provision for Income Taxes. We have recorded a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. No income tax benefits have been provided for 2004 and 2003 because there was not sufficient evidence to support the position that the losses generated would be utilized in the future. As we become profitable, management expects to realize some substantial benefits from a reduction of federal income tax expense.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006

General. Total assets increased by $43.7 million, or 16%, from $277.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $320.9 million at June 30, 2006, with the increase invested principally in loans. Net loans receivable increased by $41.0 million, or 20%, to $251.7 million at June 30, 2006 from $210.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in these earning assets was the result of net loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The securities portfolio and cash decreased by $2.6 million to $51.4 million at June 30, 2006 from $54.0 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due to the use of cash to partially fund loans. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 balance sheets.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $25.6 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $27.6 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease of $2.0 million was principally the net change in deposits received less funding for loans, and scheduled repayments of FHLB advances.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity. The securities portfolio decreased $0.6 million, or 2%, to $25.8 million at June 30, 2006 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due to scheduled principal payments and to changes in the fair market value of available-for-sale securities. There were no purchases of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Loans Receivable. Net loans receivable increased by $41.0 million, or 20%, to $251.7 million at June 30, 2006 from $210.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in these earning assets was the result of net loan originations during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, we have 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, we have established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $2.7 million at June 30, 2006. 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 Sun American 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. Our allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at June 30, 2006.

Sun American Bank’s impaired loans were $9.3 million at June 30, 2006, or 3.7% of total gross loans, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2005, or 1.1% of total gross loans. The increase was mostly due to the



75





downgrading of two construction loans that incurred cost overruns prompting an advance of additional funds. The loans continue on accrual status. Assets that are classified as impaired 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 that are classified as impaired have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The impaired assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

The total impaired assets and the percentage of total loans that are classified as impaired assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are listed in the table below. There was no other real estate owned (OREO) at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Total nonperforming assets have decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005 by $258,000, or 89%. In management’s best judgment, all nonperforming assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Management does not believe that the interest income that would have been earned in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 had all nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original terms is a material amount.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $5.5 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the purchase of a single plot of land that will be developed into a future branch site.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased to $244.1 million at June 30, 2006 from $193.5 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of 26% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is the result of an advertising campaign to raise core deposits, which attracted new clients to Sun American Bank’s branch network.

Sun American Bank continues to further develop its niche in the small and medium size businesses and individuals within its trade area in the South Florida markets. These vary by location, as the Miami and Boca Raton branches are located in mixed communities of business and residential. The Hollywood branch is more focused on personal banking, with a retirement community and a large family country club community in the immediate vicinity of the office. There are also large commercial facilities nearby. These factors play an important role in Sun American Bank’s activity and performance in meeting the deposit and credit needs of the community. Checking accounts represent an important composition of the deposit mix and Sun American Bank has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposit because of its policy of relationship banking. Sun American Bank is developing new deposit products to retain existing customers and attract new deposit clients. Although Sun American Bank operates its branches in a highly competitive banking market, the ratio of loans to deposits has remained at acceptable levels.

Debt. Sun American Bank maintains an unsecured line of credit of $5.0 million and we maintain 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB borrowings totaled $11.0 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $21.0 million at December 31, 2005. This decrease of $10.0 million, or 48%, was due to available liquidity to replace these advances with lower cost deposit liabilities. Sun American Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB.

Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.4 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2005. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by Sun American Bank.

Capital

Our total stockholders’ equity was $62.2 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $2.6 million, or 4%, from $59.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase includes proceeds of $125,000 from the sale of units, each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Class F Warrant to purchase 0.5 share of common stock, through a private placement and $1.5 million received from the exercise of warrants and options.

We and Sun American Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. The regulations require us and Sun American Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our and Sun American Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and other factors.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Sun American Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets and minimum leverage ratios. Member banks operating at or near the minimum ratio levels are expected to have well diversified risks, including



77





no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on- and off-balance sheet activities, and in general, be considered strong organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMEL rating system for banks. For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above conditions, the minimum leverage ratio may require an additional 100 or 200 basis points.

Our and Sun American Bank’s capital ratios at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are listed in the table below.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005

General. Total assets increased by $85.7 million, or 45%, from $191.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $277.2 million at December 31, 2005, with the increase invested principally in loans, securities held-to-maturity, and federal funds sold. Total loans receivable increased by $57.0 million, or 37%, to $210.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $153.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in these earning assets was the result of additional net loan activity from Sun American Bank’s branch network. Securities increased $5.0 million, or 23.1%, to $26.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $21.4 million at December 31, 2004. The increases in loans and securities were funded by an increase in deposits in 2005 of $35.3 million and additional FHLB advances of $13.0 million. This growth was further supplemented by the addition of $36.4 million of new capital.

We are committed to expanding our business through internal growth as well as through purchase opportunities, while maintaining strong asset quality and continuing strong capital growth. Management’s strategy for achieving these objectives includes continuing our primary focus of increasing originations of high-quality commercial real estate, land acquisition, and construction 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, 2005 and December 31, 2004 balance sheets.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $27.6 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2004. The increase of $21.4 million was primarily due to higher federal funds sold levels at the end of 2005 in anticipation of funding needs for new loans. Management added additional liquidity in 2005 through deposit taking, capital injections and FHLB borrowing activities to respond to higher loan demand.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity. The securities portfolio increased $5.0 million, or 23.1%, to $26.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $21.4 million at December 31, 2004. New securities were purchased during 2005 using available excess cash. As part of the current investment strategy, we attempted to earn more income from the investment portfolio by balancing the assets against the liquidity needed for loan funding. The investment strategy for 2005 was to focus on the acquisition of high quality fixed income investments with terms to maturity that do not exceed seven years. Management believes that laddered investment purchases within this time frame provided the best opportunities to maximize investment yield while maintaining a defensive position in a rising interest rate environment.



78





Loans Receivable. Total loans were $210.7 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $57.0 million, or 37%, from $153.7 million at December 31, 2004. This increase resulted primarily from net increases in residential and commercial real estate loan production through internal growth.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, we have 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, we have established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $2.1 million at December 31, 2005. 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 Sun American 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. Our allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at December 31, 2005.

Sun American Bank’s impaired loans were $2.3 million at December 31, 2005, or 1.1% of total gross loans, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2004, or 1.3% of total gross loans. Assets that are classified as impaired 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 that are classified as impaired have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The impaired assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

The total impaired assets and the percentage of total loans that are classified as impaired assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are listed in the table below. There was no other real estate owned (OREO) at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Nonperforming assets have increased $149,000, or 106%, from $141,000 at December 31, 2004 to $290,000 at December 31, 2005. In management’s best judgment, all nonperforming assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Management does not believe that the interest income that would have been earned in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 had all nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original terms is a material amount.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $2.0 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2004. The increase of 5% is primarily due to the acquisition of select fixed assets.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased $35.3 million at December 31, 2005 from December 31, 2004. In the South Florida market, Sun American Bank is able to attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, primarily money market and NOW accounts. When additional funds are needed to fulfill lending commitments, Sun American Bank can, by means of marketing efforts and by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, attract new deposits and retain existing accounts. In addition, Sun American Bank can utilize institutional (broker) deposits on a limited basis. At December 31, 2005, brokered deposits were $13.0 million.

Debt. Sun American Bank maintains an unsecured line of credit of $5.0 million and we maintain 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, 2005, compared to $2.5 million outstanding at December 31, 2004 under Sun American Bank’s unsecured line of credit.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2005 amounted to $21.0 million, compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2004. In August 2004, Sun American Bank was accepted into membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Sun American Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.0 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease was due to a reduction of client participation in the program in 2005.

Capital

Our stockholders’ equity was $59.6 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $38.9 million, or 187%, from $20.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the net proceeds from two private placements during 2005 amounting to approximately $35.5 million and comprehensive income of $2.8 million. In addition, we received $0.9 million in additional capital through the exercise of warrants and options. In the first quarter of 2005, we redeemed 315 preferred shares with a par value of $315,000.

We and Sun American Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and



80





possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. The regulations require us and Sun American Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our and Sun American Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and other factors.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Sun American Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets and minimum leverage ratios. Member banks operating at or near the minimum ratio levels are expected to have well diversified risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on- and off-balance sheet activities, and in general, be considered strong organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMEL rating system for banks. For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above conditions, the minimum leverage ratio may require an additional 100 or 200 basis points.

Our and Sun American Bank’s capital ratios at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are listed in the table below.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004

General. Total assets increased by $97.4 million, or 104%, from $94.1 million at December 31, 2003 to $191.5 million at December 31, 2004, with the increase invested principally in loans and securities available-for-sale. Total loans receivable increased by $87.5 million, or 132%, to $153.7 million at December 31, 2004 from $66.2 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in these earning assets was the result of additional net loan activity from the branches of $45.5 million and the acquisition of $42.0 million of new loans as part of the Gulf Bank transaction. Securities increased $2.1 million, or 10.8%, to $21.4 million at December 31, 2004 from $19.3 million at December 31, 2003. The increases in loans and securities were funded by an increase in deposits in 2004 of $78.1 million ($67.0 million of which was assumed in the Gulf Bank transaction), as well as the addition of FHLB advances of $8.0 million in 2004. This growth was further supplemented by the addition of $10.9 million of new capital, most of which was obtained in a May 2004 public offering.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $6.2 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2003. The increase of $3.0 million, or 94%, was primarily due to higher federal funds purchase levels at the end of 2004. Management added additional liquidity in 2004 through deposit taking, capital injections and FHLB borrowing activities to respond to higher loan demand.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity. The securities portfolio increased $2.1 million, or 10.8%, to $21.4 million at December 31, 2004 from $19.3 million at December 31, 2003. New securities were purchased during 2003 using available excess cash. As part of our investment strategy in 2004, management attempted to earn more income from the investment portfolio by balancing the assets against the liquidity needed for loan funding. The investment strategy for 2004 was to focus on the acquisition of high quality fixed income



81





investments with terms to maturity that do not exceed five years. Management believes that laddered investment purchases within this time frame provided the best opportunities to maximize investment yield while maintaining a defensive position in a rising interest rate environment.

Loans Receivable. Total loans were $153.7 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $87.5 million, or 132%, from $66.2 million at December 31, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from net increases in commercial and commercial real estate loan production of $45.5 million through internal growth, as well as the acquisition of $42.0 million of new loans as part of the Gulf Bank transaction.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, we have 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, we have established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2004. 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 Sun American 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. Our allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at December 31, 2004.

Sun American Bank’s impaired loans were $2.1 million at December 31, 2004, or 1.3% of total gross loans, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2003, or 2.6% of total gross loans. Assets that are classified as impaired 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 that are classified as impaired have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The impaired assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

The total impaired assets and the percentage of total loans that are classified as impaired assets at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are listed in the table below. There was no other real estate owned (OREO) at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

In management’s best judgment, all nonperforming assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Management does not believe that the interest income that would have been earned in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 had all nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original terms is a material amount.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $1.9 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2003. The increase of 12% during 2004 is primarily due to the acquisition of select fixed assets in conjunction with the Gulf Bank transaction. Also, as part of the Gulf Bank transaction, we acquired leases on three new branch locations in the greater Miami area during 2004.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased $78.0 million at December 31, 2004 from December 31, 2003. In the South Florida market, management is able to attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, primarily money market accounts. When additional funds are needed to fulfill lending commitments, management can, by means of marketing efforts and by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, attract new deposits and retain existing accounts.

Gulf Bank. Sun American Bank had increased the outstanding borrowings from the FHLB to $8.0 million at year end. No amounts were due to the FHLB in 2003.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.3 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease was due to a reduction of client participation in the program in 2004.

Capital

Our stockholders’ equity was $20.7 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $10.9 million, or 111%, from $9.8 million at December 31, 2003. The increase is primarily due to a capital infusion from a public offering in May 2004. During January 2004, we issued 3,100 shares of preferred stock totaling $3.1 million in a private placement, which partially funded the purchase of certain of the assets Gulf Bank. At December 31, 2004, 315 preferred shares with a par value of $315,000 were issued and outstanding.

We and Sun American Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements.

At December 31, 2003, the total assets of Sun American Bank were below $150.0 million. As such, capital ratios were not required or calculated for Sun American Bancorp at that time.

Based upon these ratios, we and Sun American Bank are considered to be well capitalized. We continue to evaluate the interest rate exposure, control systems, earnings, asset quality, and liquidity through various monitoring systems to maintain an acceptable level of risk.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. We have identified five 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.



84





Allowance for Loan Losses. Our accounting for the allowance for loan losses is a critical policy that is discussed in detail in this section. See “– Earning Assets” below.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually. The test requires us to determine the fair value of our 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 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, 2005, (the goodwill impairment testing date) the fair value of our 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, we would have to perform the second step of the impairment test. This step requires us to fair value all assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.

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

Securities. We record our securities available-for-sale in our statement of financial condition at fair value. We use market price quotes for valuation. Equity securities available-for-sale trade daily on various stock exchanges. The fair value of these securities in our 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 we own in some of these equity securities may be in excess of the securities average daily trading volume. As a consequence, we may not be able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. We adjust our equity securities available-for-sale 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 through the income statement.

Income Taxes. We file a consolidated federal income tax return. We use 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 financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Our management, in consultation with the audit committee of our board of directors, has reviewed and approved these critical accounting policies.

Earning Assets

A primary strategy of the company continues to be to increase the level of earning assets as they relate to operating expenses in order to improve profitability. We are pursuing a growth strategy by increasing the level of earning assets, primarily through increases in loan origination in the communities we serve 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 $290.8 million at June 30, 2006, a $29.8 million, or 11%, increase from December 31, 2005. Interest-earning assets totaled $261.0 million at December 31, 2005, an $84.7 million, or 48%, increase from $176.3 million at December 31, 2004.



85





Lending Activities

Our principal lending areas have been defined as all census tracts within the tri-county area of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida. Sun American Bank’s customers are predominantly small- to medium-sized businesses, individual investors and consumers. Collateralized loans, the most common of which follow, are extended on similar terms to all of Sun American 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.

·

Unsecured loans represent a high level of risk.

As a significant part of our growth strategy, we are increasing our efforts to develop new business relationships and are increasing our marketing efforts. Typically, we seek commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $10.0 million. Sun American Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $13.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2006. Sun American Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $13.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005 and $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2004. During 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, we raised $35.6 million of net new capital through several private offerings, thus increasing Sun American Bank’s legal lending limit and allowing it to meet the loan needs of larger customers. Sun American Bank also has approximately 15 participating loans with other banks, which totaled approximately $14.9 million as of June 30, 2006, compared to 16 participating loans with other banks, which totaled approximately $5.0 million as of December 31, 2005.

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.

Sun American 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 Sun American Bank’s GAP position and, ultimately, its profitability.

Loan Solicitation and Processing. Loan applicants come primarily through the efforts of Sun American Bank’s loan officers who seek out existing customers, referrals by realtors, previous and present customers, 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. Sun American Bank’s primary lending focus is making commercial real estate loans to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate. Commercial real estate 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 June 30, 2006, commercial real estate loans represented 62% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 64% at December 31, 2005. The average balance of commercial real estate loans was $150.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Income from these loans totaled $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. At December 31, 2005, commercial real estate loans represented 64% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 70% at December 31, 2004. The average balance of commercial real estate loans was $123.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and $79.3 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Income from these loans totaled $9.7 million and $5.5 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Asset Quality. Management seeks to maintain the quality of assets through conservative underwriting and 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 our lending practices that most clearly reflect the economic conditions and trends, loan ratios, loan covenants, asset valuations, and industry trends.

Displayed below are the percentages of the gross loan portfolio as of June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

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 property could have an adverse impact on profitability. As part of Sun American Bank’s loan policy and loan management strategy, we typically limit our loan-to-value ratio to a maximum of 50% 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 help mitigate real property loan risks.

The Loan and Discount Committee of the board of directors of Sun American 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, and regional economic conditions.

Regulatory Classification of Assets. 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 Sun American 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 management, principal and/or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation and/or documentation. As of June 30, 2006, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $660,000 and impaired loans totaled $9.3 million. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $1,301,300 and $544,000, respectively, and impaired loans totaled $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Foreclosed Assets. Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as other real estate owned, or OREO, if real estate, or in other assets, if other property, until they are sold. When property is acquired, it is initially recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Subsequent to foreclosure, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Sun American Bank held no OREO or repossessions at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Non-Performing Assets. Non-performing assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more that 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 nonperforming assets identified by Sun American Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the fiscal 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. The determination includes an



89





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.

Specific Allowance: All significant commercial and industrial loans 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 SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” 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.

The adjustment in 2004 and in 2001 is the allowance required on acquisition of loans from the Gulf Bank transaction and from the PanAmerican Bank transaction, respectively.

Through the normal review of the allowance for loan losses, management determined additional provision was required due to a growth of the loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. In 2004, management discontinued the Business Manager product as it had determined that the product did not fit well with the current product mix. Phase out of the product was completed in the first quarter of 2004, and we charged off approximately $582,000 of Business Manager loans in 2004. In addition,



90





management charged off an additional $514,000 of loans for which it was determined that the borrower had insufficient ability to repay. Impaired loans totaled $9.3 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $2.3 million at December 31, 2005 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2004. Non-performing assets totaled $32,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to $290,000 at December 31, 2005 and $141,000 at December 31, 2004.

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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, is as follows:

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. At June 30, 2006, Sun American Bank had four lines of credit outstanding to business entities affiliated with two of its directors, Stephen Perrone and Alberto Valle, each of whom also serve on our board of directors, in the aggregate amount of $7.0 million. Accrued interest on these loans amounted to $11,086 at June 30, 2006. The loans are secured by real estate and are believed to be collectible. All loans to officers and directors are made in accordance with Regulation O, under the same terms available to the general public without preferential treatment. At December 31, 2005, Sun American Bank had two lines of credit outstanding to business entities affiliated with Stephen Perrone, in the aggregate amount of $5.9 million. Accrued interest on these loans amounted to $1,144 at December 31, 2005. Both of these lines of credit were still outstanding as of June 30, 2006.

Investment Activities

Sun American 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. Sun American 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,” referred to as FAS 115 in this proxy statement and prospectus, requires the investments to 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. FAS 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



91





current resale are classified as “trading securities.”  Such securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized 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 Sun American Bank officers and directors determines appropriate investments in accordance with the board of directors’ approved investment policies and procedures. The 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 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 investment 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 us. 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 have 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 Sun American Bank’s liabilities and obligations. These types of securities also permit Sun American Bank to improve its regulatory capital because they have a low risk capital weighting.

Investment Portfolio. Our 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 the investment portfolio increased to 4.13% at June 30, 2006 from 4.08% at December 31, 2005. The average yield for the investment portfolio was 3.89% at December 31, 2004.

Includes Federal Home Loan Bank securities with a book value of $11.1 million and market value of $10.7 million at June 30, 2006, which securities represent greater than 10% of our stockholders’ equity.

Valuation of Securities. We record securities available-for-sale in our statement of financial condition at fair value. We use market price quotes for valuation. Equity securities available-for-sale trade daily on various stock exchanges. The fair value of these securities in our 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 we own in some of these equity securities may be in excess of the securities average daily trading volume. As a consequence, we 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 June 30, 2006, the fair value and net unrealized loss associated with our securities available-for-sale was $5.1 million and $418,000, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the fair value and net unrealized loss associated with our securities available-for-sale was $5.2 million and $306,000, respectively.

Liquidity. Regulatory agencies require that Sun American 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 Sun American 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 necessary to support the lending and investment activities is determined through



93





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, Sun American 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 accounts can quickly adjust the level of deposits. Management believes that Sun American Bank is currently operating in a stable environment.

In 2004, Sun American Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Sun American Bank has begun to access this vehicle to add a new source of liquidity to its business. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Sun American Bank had $11.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively, of FHLB fixed rate advances to assist in funding its loan portfolio growth. Sun American Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB. Liquidity at June 30, 2006 consisted of $25.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.1 million in available-for-sale securities for a total of $30.7 million, compared to liquidity at December 31, 2005, which consisted of $27.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.2 million in available-for-sale securities for a total of $32.8 million. Liquidity at December 31, 2004 was $11.8 million.

If additional liquidity is needed, Sun American Bank has established a correspondent banking relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida. This relationship provides Sun American Bank with the ability to borrow from an unsecured line of credit to supplement liquidity up to the amount of $5.0 million. Interest is calculated on any outstanding balance at the prevailing market federal funds rate. Sun American Bank also has the ability to sell investments from the portfolio under a repurchase agreement with this correspondent bank. Similarly, we maintain a separate secured line of credit of $2.0 million with Independent Bankers Bank. There were no borrowings under these lines of credit at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

The liability side of the balance sheet has great significance to the profitable operation of a bank. Deposits are the major source of Sun American Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. Deposits are attracted principally from within Sun American Bank’s primary market area through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts and certificates of deposits, referred to as CD’s in this proxy statement and prospectus. Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established 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. Sun American Bank may use borrowings through correspondent banks on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. Sun American Bank maintains a membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which acts as an alternate source for borrowing as needed. Periodically, Sun American Bank may purchase broker deposits to supplement deposits gathered through the branch network in order to fund loans as required.

Deposit Accounts

Deposits are attracted from within Sun American Bank’s market area and substantially all of the depositors are residents of the State of Florida. Deposit services for personal and business customers include a variety of checking accounts, which include interest-earning, low-cost checking, and senior checking. Savings accounts are also offered. Low cost demand and savings deposits represent an important part of the deposit mix for Sun American Bank, which has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposits, because of its policy of relationship banking. Money market accounts are priced competitively within Sun American Bank’s market area of 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. Sun American 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, personalized services, the quality and range of financial



94





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. Consumers have access to ATMs, safe deposit boxes, direct deposit and online banking services. In addition, businesses can use Sun American Bank’s merchant credit card program.

In determining the terms of the deposit accounts, management considers current market interest rates, profitability to Sun American Bank, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. Sun American 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 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Sun American Bank had $13.0 million of deposits outstanding that had been facilitated through brokerage relationships.

Deposit Insurance Assessments. Deposit accounts 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 three categories based on their capitalization and one of three subcategories based on examination ratings and other supervisory information. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the categories 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 at the required ratio of reserves to insured deposits of 1.25% 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 1980s 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.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, referred to as the Reform Act in this proxy statement and prospectus, 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 a specified threshold; (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 replacing the current fixed reserve ratio requirement of 1.25% with a range of 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 FDIC is required to adopt final rules for the rest of the provisions no later than 270 days after enactment. On May 9, 2006, the FDIC approved three proposed rules governing deposit insurance assessments that implement the Reform Act. While the assessment method has not been determined yet, Sun American Bank will face deposit insurance premium expense. The web site for the FDIC is www.fdic.gov.

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

Sun American 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 the correspondent, Sun American Bank maintains certain balances with the correspondent in non-interest bearing accounts. Such compensating balances are not considered significant to the operations of Sun American Bank.

Borrowings. Sun American Bank has the ability to borrow from its correspondent banks to supplement the supply of lendable 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 the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. In August 2004, Sun American Bank was accepted into membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At that time, Sun American Bank assumed $3.0 million of advances previously issued to Gulf Bank. These advances carry a fixed rate of interest and were $11.0 million, $21.0 million and $8.0 million at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Sun American Bank has pledged a security interest in its real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB.

Equity and Capital Resources. We are 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 our financial statements and operation. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Sun American 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 Sun American Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios, set forth in the table 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Sun American Bank has met the capital adequacy requirements as defined by these definitions.

The column below with the heading “Bank” presents the capital ratios for Sun American Bank. The column below with the heading “Corp” presents the capital ratios for the consolidated business. The column below with the indication “Adequately” is that regulatory definition for an Adequately Capitalized banking institution. The right column below with the indication “Well” is that regulatory definition for a Well Capitalized banking institution.

We continue to evaluate the interest rate exposure, control systems, earnings, asset quality, and liquidity through various monitoring systems to maintain an acceptable level of risk.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The impact of management’s strategies can be seen in the Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Interest Expense table below. The table indicates changes in net interest income resulting either from changes in average balances or to changes in average rates for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) change in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate); (ii) change in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume); (iii) change in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume); and (iv) total change in rate and volume.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Sun American Bank’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure of financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Sun American 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, Sun American 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 Sun American Bank’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to Sun American Bank’s safety and soundness. Sun American 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 Sun American Bank’s asset/liability management strategy is to minimize its exposure to changes in interest rates by 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 Sun American Bank that establishes policies and monitors results to control interest rate sensitivity.

The asset and liability committee examines the extent to which Sun American 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 Sun American 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 very few, if any, rate-sensitive liabilities (deposit accounts) adjust at such a rapid frequency.

The asset and liability committee evaluates Sun American 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 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 Sun American 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 is to maintain a balanced interest rate risk position to protect Sun American 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.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements

Employment Agreement with Michael Golden

On May 22, 2006, we and Sun American Bank entered into an Employment Agreement with Michael Golden, our director, President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun American Bank. In these capacities, Mr. Golden will be responsible for overseeing and managing our and Sun American Bank’s day-to-day business, operations and strategy and will report directly to the board of directors.

Mr. Golden will be employed for an initial term of one year commencing on January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2006. The agreement will be extended automatically each year on the anniversary date of the initial term for an additional one year term unless either party provides written notice at least 30 days prior to the end of the extended term.

During the initial term, Mr. Golden will receive an annual base salary of $275,000 and quarterly performance bonuses of $25,000. The Compensation Committee of the board of directors will pay Mr. Golden the performance bonuses if we and Sun American Bank meet, or, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, substantially meet, certain established financial goals based upon our approved 2006 budget. To the extent a performance goal is not met in a particular quarter, the Compensation Committee can pay Mr. Golden the missed quarterly bonus as part of the following quarter’s bonus if the performance goal is met by the end of the following



105





quarter. By way of example, if a performance goal is not met in the first quarter, but is met by the end of the second quarter, Mr. Golden’s second quarter bonus will include the missed bonus for the first quarter and he will receive a $50,000 bonus. An additional bonus may be paid to Mr. Golden at the fiscal year end if certain financial goals are exceeded. The amount of such bonus, if any, will be determined, on a discretionary basis, by the Compensation Committee. As part of his annual compensation package, on April 19, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of options to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock and 50,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Golden. On June 21, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Golden. In addition, Mr. Golden may be entitled to a sale bonus in connection with any future sale of us or Sun American Bank, although no such sale is contemplated at this time, the terms of which will be determined by us and Mr. Golden within 90 days of May 22, 2006. To date, such terms have not been determined.

Mr. Golden is also entitled to a $900 per month car allowance, participation in the insurance, health and medical benefits that are generally made available to our senior executives, payment of the premium of the life insurance policy payable to his beneficiaries, 4 weeks of vacation, reimbursement of necessary and reasonable expenses incurred or paid by him in connection with the performance of his duties, and such other benefits as may be provided to our other senior executives, including participation in our 401(k) plan and stock option plans.

We also agreed to indemnify Mr. Golden against all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, fines, costs and expenses that he may incur in connection with the performance of his duties. During the employment term and for a period of 3 years thereafter, we will maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage on behalf of Mr. Golden at whatever amount we deem reasonable.

We and our board of directors agreed to cause Mr. Golden to be nominated to be elected as a director to the board of directors each time his term as a director is set to expire.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Golden cannot, anywhere in the United States, directly or indirectly,: (i) acquire, or own in any manner, any interest in any entity that engages in our or Sun American Bank’s business, referred to as the Business in this proxy statement and prospectus, or that engages in any business, activity or enterprise that competes with any aspect of the Business; or (ii) be interested in, or otherwise participate in the management or operation of, any entity that engages in any business, activity or enterprise that competes with any aspect of the Business. Mr. Golden can serve as an officer or director of any entity or business enterprise, or otherwise participate in educational, welfare, social, religious and civic organizations, provided that he does not serve as a director or officer of any entity or business enterprise that engages in a business that competes directly with the Business. Mr. Golden is permitted to make investments in the securities of any entity or business enterprise, provided that he cannot make any investments in the securities of any entity or business enterprise that engages in a business that competes directly with the Business.

In the event of Mr. Golden’s death, the agreement automatically terminates and in the event of his incapacity, the agreement may be terminated by us upon written notice. In either event, we will pay to Mr. Golden, his estate, or his legal representative, as applicable,: (i) the base salary through the date of termination, plus the base salary for the remaining term of the agreement and an additional one year term; (ii) the performance bonus; (iii) the sale bonus; and (iv) any business expenses that were properly reimbursable to him through the date of termination.

We can terminate Mr. Golden’s employment at any time for “cause,” as defined below, upon written notice. In the event Mr. Golden’s employment is terminated by us for cause or he voluntarily terminates his employment prior to the end of the employment term upon 90 days’ prior written notice, we will pay to him: (i) the base salary through the date of termination; (ii) any accrued, but unpaid, performance bonus and sale bonus; and (iii) any business expenses that were properly reimbursable to him through the date of termination. “Cause” is defined in the agreement to include: (i) the material breach by Mr. Golden of any of the material terms or provisions of the agreement; (ii) the willful misconduct of Mr. Golden in connection with the performance of his material duties or his willful refusal to perform all or any portion of his material duties and responsibilities; or (iii) fraud, criminal conduct, material dishonestly or breach of trust or embezzlement by Mr. Golden.

We can terminate Mr. Golden’s employment without cause at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice.

Mr. Golden can terminate his employment for “good reason,” as defined below, upon notice to us within 30 days after he has actual knowledge of the event providing such good reason and we fail to cure the event within 30 days following the notice. If Mr. Golden terminates his employment for good reason, it will have the same effect and afford him the same rights and benefits as if we terminated his employment without cause. “Good reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Mr. Golden is not retained as our Chief Executive Officer even if he is allowed to continue in our employ; (ii) we materially reduce his duties and responsibilities; (iii) he is removed from his position as a member of our board of directors for any reason other than in connection with his termination for cause; or (iv) we fail to perform or observe any of our material obligations to him under the agreement, including, without limitation, by failing to provide or cause the provision of, any compensation or benefits that we are obligated to provide.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The board of directors has established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee, each of which is briefly described below. The board of directors does not have a standing Nominating Committee, but the Compensation Committee fulfills the function of the Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the board of directors in maintaining the integrity of our financial statements, and of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal audit controls, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of independent audits and assesses the results. The Audit Committee meets with management to consider the adequacy of the internal control over, and the objectivity of, financial reporting. The Audit Committee also meets with the independent auditors and with appropriate financial personnel concerning these matters. The Audit Committee selects, determines the compensation of, appoints and oversees our independent auditors. The independent auditors periodically meet with the Audit Committee and always have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which currently consists of Messrs. Famadas, Perrone, Rosinus and Valle, met 11 times in 2005. The board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Famadas, Perrone, Rosinus and Valle is independent as defined in applicable rules of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide, referred to as the AMEX Company Guide in this proxy statement and prospectus, and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and that Mr. Famadas qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 401 of Regulation S-B.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee administers incentive compensation plans, including stock option plans, and advises the board of directors regarding employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation structure for our senior managers, approves the compensation of our senior executives, and makes recommendations to the independent members of the board of directors with respect to compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee advises and makes recommendations to the board of directors on all matters concerning directorships, including the selection of candidates as nominees for election as directors and committee membership. The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing corporate governance policies. The Compensation Committee also recommends potential successors for key management. The Compensation Committee, which currently consists of Messrs. Famadas, Marinello, Partridge, Perrone, Rosinus and Valle, met 2 times in 2005. The board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Famadas, Marinello, Partridge, Perrone, Rosinus and Valle is independent as defined in applicable rules of the AMEX Company Guide and is a non-employee director as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Independence of the Board of Directors

The board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Famadas, Marinello, Partridge, Perrone, Rosinus and Valle is independent as defined in applicable rules of the AMEX Company Guide. As a result, a majority of the members of the board of directors are independent as defined in applicable rules of the AMEX Company Guide.

Director Nomination Process

General Information

We do not have a standing Nominating Committee of the board of directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other matters, determining the board member qualifications needed to strengthen and balance the board of directors, establishing criteria for selecting new directors, recommending nominees for director and recommending directors for membership on various committees of the board of directors for consideration of the full board.

Consideration of Director Candidates Recommended or Nominated by Stockholders

The Compensation Committee will consider properly submitted stockholder recommendations of director candidates. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective director nominee should send a letter to the



112





Chairman of the Compensation Committee at: 1200 N. Federal Highway, Suite 111-A, Boca Raton, Florida  33432. Such letter must be signed and dated and the following information must be included in or attached to the letter:

·

name and address of the stockholder making the recommendation;

·

proof that the stockholder was the stockholder of record, and/or beneficial owner, of the common stock as of the date of the letter;

·

the name, address and resume of the recommended nominee;

·

all other information regarding the stockholder nominee as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC; and

·

written confirmation executed by the proposed nominee to serve as a director if so nominated and elected.

The deadline for submitting the letter recommending a prospective director nominee for next year’s annual meeting of stockholders is March 9, 2007, provided the stockholder making the recommendation would like the Compensation Committee to consider recommending such candidate to the independent members of the board of directors for inclusion in the proxy materials for the next year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Qualifications

In order to be nominated for director, a candidate must meet the following criteria:

·

the director must be a natural person over 21 years of age;

·

the director should have high-level business experience;

·

the director should have knowledge about the issues affecting our business and the industry in which we operate;

·

the director should have high moral character and share our values; and

·

the director should have sufficient time to devote the director’s energy and attention to the diligent performance of the director’s duties, including, but not limited to, review of our documents, SEC filings and other materials and the attendance of the board of directors and committee meetings, as applicable.

Additional special criteria apply to directors being considered to serve on a particular committee of the board of directors, including, but not limited to, the Audit Committee. For instance, the Compensation Committee will review whether the director nominee is independent, as independence is defined in the AMEX Company Guide.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Director

The Compensation Committee assesses the appropriate size of the board of directors in accordance with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws, whether any vacancies on the board of directors are expected and which incumbent directors will stand for reelection at the next annual meeting of stockholders. If a vacancy is anticipated, or otherwise arises, the Compensation Committee considers candidates for director suggested by members of the Compensation Committee and other members of the board of directors, as well as management, stockholders and other parties, and makes recommendations to the independent members of the board of directors regarding proposed candidates to fill the vacancy. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to retain a search firm to identify and evaluate director candidates. Except for incumbent directors standing for reelection as described below, there are no differences in the manner in which the Compensation Committee evaluates nominees for director, based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder or any other party.

In the case of an incumbent director whose term of office expires, the Compensation Committee reviews such director’s service to us during the past term, including, but not limited to, the number of board of directors and committee meetings attended, as applicable, quality of participation and whether the candidate continues to meet the



113





general qualifications for a member of the board of directors outlined above, including the director’s independence, as well as any special qualifications required for a member of a committee of the board of directors if such director serves on one or more committees of the board of directors and makes a recommendation regarding such director’s nomination for reelection to the full board of directors. When a member of the Compensation Committee is an incumbent director eligible to stand for reelection, such director does not participate in the discussion of his or her recommendation for nomination for reelection.

In the case of a new director candidate, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether the nominee is independent, as independence is defined in the AMEX Company Guide, and whether the nominee meets the qualifications for a member of the board of directors outlined above, as well as any special qualifications applicable to a member of a committee of the board of directors on which the nominee may be appointed to serve if elected. In connection with such evaluation, the Compensation Committee determines whether it should interview the nominee, and if warranted, one or more members of the Compensation Committee interview the nominee in person or by telephone.

Upon completing the evaluation, and the interview in case of a new candidate, the Compensation Committee makes a recommendation to the independent members of the board of directors as to whether to nominate the nominee for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. Nonetheless, pursuant to the Employment Agreement between us and Michael Golden, our President and Chief Executive Officer, the board of directors agreed to cause Mr. Golden to be nominated to the board of directors throughout the term of his employment agreement. See “– Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment Arrangements” above for a more detailed description of the employment agreement.

Subject to the limitations under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions, if any, as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such purposes.

Our stockholders generally do not have preemptive rights with respect to our common stock and, except as provided below, existing holders of common stock will not have any preferential or participation rights if the board of directors elects to issue additional shares of common stock. On April 17, 2003, we entered into a participation agreement with each of McAlpine Park Lane, Inc., a Florida corporation, and McAlpine Ltd., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, collectively referred to as the McAlpine entities in this proxy statement and prospectus, in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to the McAlpine entities. Under the participation agreements, the McAlpine entities have the right to purchase: (i) shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any private or public offering in an amount that will allow the McAlpine entities to maintain their respective beneficial ownership of our common stock, as determined by the formula specified in the participation agreements. We must notify the McAlpine entities of all of our private and public offerings, and the McAlpine entities are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their participation rights within 30 days of the beginning of such private or public offering.

In addition, on August 1, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors that purchased units in a private placement in August of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, each investor whose subscription amount exceeded $1.0 million in the private placement, referred to as the first refusal investors in this proxy statement and prospectus, has the right to purchase, except in certain exempt issuances: (i) shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any non-exempt offering in such amounts that would maintain the first refusal investor’s proportionate ownership of common stock, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date immediately preceding such offering. We must notify the first refusal investors of all of our non-exempt offerings, and the first refusal investors are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their first refusal rights within 5 business days of the receipt of such notice. The first refusal rights described above expire on the third anniversary of the applicable closing date for the private placement of each first refusal investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the McAlpine entities nor the first refusal investors have participation or first refusal rights, as applicable, as a result of the acquisition transaction.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that our board of directors may designate and issue in the future.

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each such series. As of September 22, 2006, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on our common stock, diluting the voting power of our common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of our common stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders.



121





In addition to the ability to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval, as described above, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws contain certain other provisions that may be viewed as anti-takeover measures delaying or preventing the change in control of our company. For instance, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes and our directors are elected for staggering three-year terms. Under the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend, alter, repeal or adopt any provision that is inconsistent with the provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation establishing our classified board of directors. Our Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called at any time by the board of directors, chief executive officer or stockholders entitled to cast at least one-fifth of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting.

The transfer agent and registrar for the shares of our common stock is Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc. whose address is 200 Memorial Parkway, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 07716.

INFORMATION ABOUT BEACH BANK

General

Beach Bank is a Florida chartered commercial bank, headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida. At June 30, 2006, based on the unaudited financial information provided by Beach Bank, it had total assets of $121.2 million, deposits of $109.1 million, total gross loans of $74.7 million and shareholders’ equity of $9.2 million. At June 30, 2006, Beach Bank’s total risk based capital ratio was 13.50%.

Beach Bank commenced operations in May 2000 and offers commercial real estate, lines of credit and term loans to businesses through its branch offices in Miami Beach and Pinecrest, Florida. It currently has its main office and corporate headquarters at 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140 and a branch located at 8099 South Dixie Highway, South Miami, Florida  33143. Administrative offices for Beach Bank are located at 7500 NW 25th Street, Suite 117, Miami, Florida  33122.

Beach Bank offers commercial loans to businesses and home equity, auto and boat loans to individuals. Beach Bank’s market area is Dade County located in southeastern Florida. Beach Bank also offers checking, savings and certificates of deposit to its customers. Beach Bank is regulated by the FDIC and the Florida Department of Financial Services and its deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC.

Lending Activities

Beach Bank’s principal lending areas include Miami-Dade County, Florida. Beach Bank’s customers are predominantly small- to medium-sized businesses, individual investors and consumers. Collateralized loans, the most common of which follow, are extended on similar terms to all of Beach 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 degree 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 degree of risk.

·

Unsecured loans represent a high degree of risk.

Prior to entering into the acquisition agreement with Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank, a significant part of Beach Bank’s growth strategy involved developing new business relationships and increasing its marketing efforts. Typically, Beach Bank sought commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $3.0 million. Beach Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $2.6 million and $1.5 million as of June 30, 2006, respectively.

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 Beach Bank 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.

Beach 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 Beach Bank’s GAP position and, ultimately, its profitability.



123





Loan Solicitation and Processing

Loan applicants come primarily through the efforts of Beach Bank’s loan officers who seek out existing customers, referrals by realtors, previous and present customers of Beach 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

Beach Bank’s primary lending focus is making commercial real estate loans to finance the purchase of real property, which generally consists of developed real estate. Commercial real estate 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 June 30, 2006, commercial real estate loans represented 45% of Beach Bank’s total loan portfolio, compared to 42% at December 31, 2005.

Asset Quality

Management seeks to maintain the quality of Beach Bank’s assets through its underwriting and lending practices. The earning asset portfolio (exclusive of investment securities) is generally split into six categories, five of which are types of loans, and the sixth 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. Beach Bank routinely monitors these concentrations in order to make necessary adjustments in its lending practices that most clearly reflect the economic conditions and trends, loan ratios, loan covenants, asset valuations, industry trends and other factors.

The table below sets forth the distribution of Beach Bank’s gross loan portfolio by type as of June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

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 property could have an adverse impact on profitability. As part of Beach Bank’s loan policy and loan management strategy, it typically limits its loan-to-value ratio to a maximum of 50% 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 help mitigate real property loan risks.

The Loan and Discount Committee of the board of directors of Beach 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, and regional economic conditions.

Regulatory Classification of Assets

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 Beach 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 management, principal and/or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation and/or documentation. As of June 30, 2006, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $0.2 million and impaired loans totaled $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $2.3 million and impaired loans totaled $2.0 million. As of December 31, 2004, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $1.8 million and impaired loans totaled $813,000.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as other real estate owned, or OREO, if real estate, or in other assets, if other property, until they are sold. When property is acquired, it is initially recorded at fair value at date of acquisition. Subsequent to foreclosure, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Beach Bank had no other real estate owned or repossessions at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.



126





Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more that 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 nonperforming assets identified by Beach Bank at June 30, 2006 and the dates indicated below:

Investment Activities

Beach 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, Beach Bank may also invest a portion of its assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities.] Beach Bank is 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,” referred to as FAS 115 in this proxy statement and prospectus, requires the investments to 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. FAS 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 unrealized 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 Beach Bank officers and directors determines appropriate investments in accordance with the board of directors’ approved investment policies and procedures. Beach Bank’s investment policies generally limit investments to U.S. government and agency securities, municipal bonds, certificates of deposit, marketable corporate debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities and certain types of mutual funds. Beach 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 investment would have on Beach Bank’s 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 Beach Bank. 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 have 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 Beach Bank’s liabilities and obligations. These types of securities also permit Beach Bank to improve its regulatory capital because they have a low risk capital weighting.

Valuation of Securities

Beach Bank records securities available-for-sale in its statement of financial condition at fair value. Beach Bank uses market price quotes for valuation. Equity securities available-for-sale trade daily on various stock exchanges. The fair value of these securities in Beach Bank’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 Beach Bank owns in some of these equity securities may be in excess of the securities average daily trading volume. As a consequence, Beach Bank 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 June 30, 2006, the fair value and net unrealized loss associated with Beach Bank’s securities available-for-sale was $499,000 and $1,000, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the fair value and net unrealized gain associated with Beach Bank’s securities available-for-sale was $507,400 and $7,400, respectively.

Deposit Accounts

Deposits generally are attracted from within Beach Bank’s market area and substantially all of the depositors are residents of the State of Florida. Deposit services for personal and business customers include a variety of checking accounts, which include interest-earning, low-cost checking, and senior checking. Savings accounts are also offered. Low cost demand and savings deposits represent an important part of the deposit mix for Beach Bank, which has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposits, because of its policy of relationship banking. Management believes Beach Bank’s money market accounts are priced competitively in the Miami-Dade county area. Beach Bank can attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on such accounts. Beach 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, personalized services, 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. Consumers have access to ATMs, safe deposit boxes, direct deposit and on-line banking services.

In determining the terms of the deposit accounts, management considers current market interest rates, profitability to Beach Bank, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. Beach 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 Beach Bank’s deposit mix and pricing weekly.

Deposit Insurance

Beach Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $100,000 per insured depositor. The FDIC issues regulations, conducts periodic examinations, requires the filing of reports and generally supervises the operation of its insured banks. Any insured bank that is not operated in accordance with or does not conform to FDIC regulations, policies and directives may be sanctioned for non-compliance. Proceedings may be instituted against any insured bank or any director, officer, or employee of such bank engaging in unsafe and unsound practices, including the violation of applicable laws and regulations. The FDIC has the authority to terminate insurance of accounts pursuant to procedures established for that purpose. For additional information on deposit insurance, see “Information about Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank – Supervision and Regulation – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Deposit Insurance Assessments” beginning on page 62.

Correspondent Relationships

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

Beach Bank has established a correspondent relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida with respect to the foregoing services. As compensation for services provided by a correspondent, Beach Bank maintains certain balances with the correspondent in non-interest bearing accounts. Such compensating balances are not considered significant to the operations of Beach Bank.

Employees

At June 30, 2006, there were 32 full time employees of Beach Bank. The employees are provided with [group life, health, major medical, dental and vision insurance, and long term disability]. None of Beach Bank’s employees is represented by any collective bargaining units. Beach Bank considers its employee relations to be good.

BEACH BANK’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview

Beach Bank is a “community based” state-chartered commercial bank that provides a variety of financial products and services. The primary market area for Beach Bank, defined as the area from where approximately 75% of its business will be derived, is defined as Miami-Dade County. Beach Bank is the only bank with headquarters in Miami Beach. It currently has its main office and corporate headquarters at 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140 and a branch located at 8099 South Dixie Highway, South Miami, Florida  33143. Administrative offices for Beach Bank are located at 7500 NW 25th Street, Suite 117, Miami, Florida  33122. The locations of Beach Bank’s branches were strategically selected to reach a specific target market in its market area, taking into consideration its competition and the “bank” and “branch” levels. Beach Bank differentiates itself by its brand name, how it delivers services and its niche marketing approach. Beach Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC.

Beach Bank’s marketing strategy is to provide personal services to professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, and certified public accountants in the local community. Beach Bank offers commercial and consumer products through traditional and electronic means and also customizes products for its specific target market. Beach Bank attracts deposits through direct mail campaigns and involvement in the local community by its executive team. Beach Bank’s executive team is comprised of individuals that are active in local civic organizations and professional associations from the local community.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, Beach Bank decreased its capital base by approximately $574,000 through normal operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Beach Bank completed a private offering to investors that added $1.9 million of net new capital. The first round of the private placement in March involved the sale of 543,588.33 shares of common stock at an offering price of $3.00 per share. Beach Bank received net proceeds of $1.6 million from this offering. The second round of the private placement involved the sale of 100,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $3.00 per share. Beach Bank received net proceeds of $300,000 from this offering. Beach Bank’s capital exceeded statutory guidelines at June 30, 2006. There were no common share dividends declared during the six months ended June 30, 2006 nor in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

On October 5, 2004, Beach Bank consented to enter into an Order to Cease and Desist, referred to as the Order in this proxy statement and prospectus, as proposed by the FDIC. The FDIC found during its May 10, 2004 examination of Beach Bank that it had deficiencies in violation of statutory requirements in the areas of policies, procedures, enhanced due diligence, customer identification programs, know your customer documentation, currency transaction reporting, suspicious activity reporting, and account monitoring. Continuing violations may subject Beach Bank to further sanctions, including significant fines that could result in substantial dissipation of assets and earnings.

The Order required Beach Bank to, among other things, formulate a three year written strategic plan, prepare and submit to the FDIC a comprehensive budget and earnings forecast, have and retain qualified management, maintain a Tier I Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 7%, a Tier I Risk Based Capital Ratio of not less than 10% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 12%, charge off certain classified assets, maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, reduce classified assets and adopt sound lending and collection policies.

Management believed that at December 31, 2005, Beach Bank made significant progress in complying with the requirements of the Order. Any deviations from the requirements of the Order could have significant implications on the ongoing operations of Beach Bank. In order to comply with the Order, Beach Bank has incurred expenses as follows:

Since the imposition of the Order, Beach Bank has been successful in attracting and retaining an entirely new senior management team, including a new president, Mr. Jose Valdes-Fauli. The board of directors and the new senior management team are committed to full compliance with the Order towards a goal of getting it lifted as soon as possible.

As of June 30, 2006, Beach Bank had total assets of $121.2 million, deposits of $109.1 million, total gross loans of $74.7 million and shareholders’ equity of $9.2 million. Average total assets decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2006 by $1.6 million from 2005. Average total assets increased in 2005 by $727,000 from 2004 due to management’s efforts to grow Beach Bank. Capital growth corresponded with the overall growth of Beach Bank. The average equity to average assets ratio was 7.63% during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average equity to average assets ratio was 8.84% in 2005 and 7.84% in 2004.

Prior to entering into the acquisition agreement with Sun American Bancorp and Sun American, a primary strategy of Beach Bank was to increase the level of earning assets as they relate to operating expenses in order to improve profitability. Beach Bank attempted to pursue a growth strategy by increasing the level of earning assets, primarily through increases in loan origination in the communities it serves and by increasing the level of capital in support of this growth. Interest-earning assets, which consist of interest earning deposits, investment securities, gross loans, federal funds sold, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, totaled $117.4 million at June 30, 2006, a $2.0 million, or 1.70%, increase from December 31, 2005. Interest earning assets were $115.4 million and $116.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In February 2006, Michael E. Golden, Sun American Bancorp’s president and chief executive officer, and Michael Kosnitzky, Beach Bank’s chairman, met to discuss the possibility of a strategic combination between Sun American Bank and Beach Bank.

At a meeting held after their initial meeting, Messrs. Golden and Kosnitzky concluded that Sun American Bank and Beach Bank were a strategic fit based on their respective businesses, management and employee cultures, geographic locations and breadth of franchise. Based on these discussions, the two executives decided it would be worthwhile to continue to consider a transaction. Discussions continued in March 2006 concerning the potential benefits and advantages of a combination of the banks.

Beach Bank’s board of directors believes that the asset disposition is fair to, and in the best interest of, Beach Bank and its shareholders. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement, Beach Bank’s board of directors considered a variety of factors, including the limitations of the bank’s current market and the potential for enhancement of shareholder value as well as:

·

that Sun American Bancorp is paying a premium of 2.35 over the book value of Beach Bank, adding value to the shareholders’ shares;

·

that, although the Sun American Bancorp shares are thinly traded, Sun American Bancorp is a listed company on the AMEX and, upon the acquisition transaction, the shareholders will be obtaining registered securities that are not restricted;

·

that, because both Beach Bank and Sun American Bank are local financial institutions, the acquisition transaction will result in an expanded presence in the local financial institutions’ market, serving business and retail financial needs with local decision-making and serving a greater base of individuals and businesses overall;

·

that the acquisition transaction is structured as a “C-Reorganization” under the Code and would result in: (i) the shareholders being able to exchange their shares in Beach Bank for shares of Sun American Bancorp on a tax-free basis, and (ii) the deferral of capital gains until the “realization event” (or sale of the shares);

·

the opportunity for the shareholders, customers and employees to benefit from the expanded network of Sun American Bancorp branches and the access to a greater selection of products and services;

·

the various regulatory restraints under which Beach Bank must operate pursuant to the FDIC Cease and Desist Order between the FDIC and Beach Bank that was issued in November 2004;



135





·

the financial terms of the acquisition agreement, including the purchase price and the possible adjustments to the purchase price, the assets and liabilities of Beach Bank excluded from the acquisition transaction, and that Beach Bank is required to deposit 75% of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock it receives as part of the acquisition transaction consideration in escrow to secure Beach Bank’s indemnification obligations to Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank;

·

the impact of the acquisition transaction on Beach Bank’s employees and customers and the communities served by Beach Bank; and

·

that the acquisition transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the shareholders, the receipt of regulatory approvals, and the registration with the SEC of the shares to be issued by Sun American Bancorp in the acquisition transaction.

For additional discussion of the background and reasons for the acquisition transaction, see “Background of and Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction” beginning on page 26.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This valuation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

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

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Beach Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. 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. 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.

Specific Allowance. All significant commercial and industrial loans 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 SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” 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



136





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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The liability side of the balance sheet has great significance to the profitable operation of a bank. Deposits are the major source of Beach Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. Deposits are attracted principally from within Beach Bank’s primary market area through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts and certificates of deposit, referred to as CD’s in this proxy statement and prospectus. Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by Beach 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. Beach Bank may use borrowings through correspondent banks on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. Beach Bank maintains a membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which acts as an alternate source for borrowing as needed. However, Beach Bank’s line of credit with the FHLB is not currently available due to the existing order from the FDIC.

Regulatory agencies require that Beach 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 Beach 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 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, Beach 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.

If additional liquidity is needed, Beach Bank has established a correspondent banking relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida. This relationship provides Beach Bank with the ability to borrow from an unsecured line of credit to supplement liquidity up to the amount of $2.6 million. Interest is calculated on any outstanding balance at the prevailing market federal funds rate. Beach Bank also has the ability to sell investments from the portfolio under a repurchase agreement with this correspondent bank. Beach Bank also maintains a separate secured line of credit of $5.8 million with Independent Bankers Bank. Beach Bank also maintains an unsecured line of credit of $2.5 million and a secured line of credit of $12.3 million with Bankers Bank of Georgia.

Borrowings

Beach Bank has the ability to borrow from its correspondent banks to supplement the supply of lendable 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, Beach Bank pledges securities to secure repurchase agreements. Additional details regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

On September 24, 2001, Beach Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Beach Bank presently owns stock in the amount of $240,500, but its line of credit was suspended upon the issuance of the Order from the FDIC.

Equity and Capital Resources

Beach 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 not undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Beach 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 Beach Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios, set forth in the table below, of total and Tier-1 capital, as defined by regulation, to risk weighted assets, and of Tier-1 capital to average assets.

The column below with the indication “Adequately” is that regulatory definition for an Adequately Capitalized banking institution. The right column below with the indication “Well” is that regulatory definition for a Well Capitalized banking institution.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005

Beach Bank reported a net loss of $567,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net loss of $577,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $2.3 million, compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of $68,000, or 2.9%.

Income from interest earning deposits, securities and mortgage-backed related securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold and Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased by $193,000, or 32%, to $802,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $609,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, due primarily to increases in yields in 2005.

Interest on loans increased by $125,000, or 4.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in loan interest was due to increasing interest rates on variable rate loans that resulted in higher gross interest income despite lower loan balances.



138





Total interest expense increased $386,000, or 41%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $940,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in deposit interest expense was primarily attributed to market increases in interest rates payable on deposit products.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased $95,000, or 29%, to $233,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $328,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense decreased by $87,000, or 2.8%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was due to a reduction in costs in compliance with the Order during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $486,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $538,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decreased cost was primarily due to regular asset depreciation.

Other expenses decreased $561,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was due to lower costs and expenses in compliance with the Order during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management determined a provision was not needed for the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to a decrease in loans and an evaluation of the loan loss reserve.

Provision for Income Taxes. Beach Bank has elected to be treated as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, all items of income and expense flow through to its shareholders and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.

Deposit Balances and Rates. The following tables set forth the average balances of the deposit portfolio of Beach Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Non-interest bearing transaction accounts are on a demand basis, and as such, balances continually fluctuate.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The impact of Beach Bank’s management’s strategies can be seen in the Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Interest Expense table below. The table indicates changes in net interest income resulting either from changes in average balances or to changes in average rates for earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) change in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate); (ii) change in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume); (iii) change in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume); and (iv) total change in rate and volume.

Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004

In this section, unless the context provides otherwise, references to 2005 and 2004 are to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The net loss for 2005 was $2.1 million, compared to net income of $370,000 for 2004. The decrease in earnings was related to the Order from the FDIC as Beach Bank incurred $2.0 million of expenses in order to comply with the provisions of the Order. In addition to these costs, earnings for 2005 as compared to 2004 were primarily impacted by a $1.0 million increase in net interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan loss of $54,000, which was more than offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $1.4 million and a $336,000 increase in non-interest expenses excluding expenses resulting from the Order.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2005 was $5.0 million, compared to $4.0 million for 2004, an increase of $1.0 million, or 25%.

Income from interest earning deposits, securities (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity), federal funds sold and Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased by $1.3 million, or 23.2%, to $6.9 million for 2005 from $5.6 million for 2004. The increase was mostly attributed to higher average loan balances outstanding of $80.9 million for 2005 from $74.7 million for 2004. The interest yield on the loan portfolio increased to 6.84% in 2005, compared to 5.89% in 2004. In addition, federal funds sold yielded 3.22% in 2005, compared to 1.01% in 2004. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 5.85% for 2005, a 69 basis point increase from 5.15% for 2004, primarily as a result of improved yields in the loan portfolio due to increasing market interest rates.

Total interest expense increased $349,000 from $1.6 million for 2004 to $2.0 million for 2005. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $79.7 million for 2005 from $66.8 million for 2004. 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 2.32% for 2005 from 1.94% for 2004.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased $1.4 million, or 68.5%, to $631,000 for 2005 from $2.0 million for 2004. The decrease in fees reflects the elimination of certain business lines in accordance with the provisions of the Order.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $2.2 million, or 42%, to $7.4 million for 2005 from $5.2 million for 2004. The increase was mostly attributed to legal and consulting expenses associated with the Order. These costs amounted to $2.0 million for 2005, compared to $134,000 for 2004.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was $325,000, compared to $379,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The reduced provision for loan losses in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was due to a reduced balance of net loans during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes. Beach Bank has elected to be treated as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, all items of income and expense flow through to its shareholders and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006

General. Total assets increased by $1.2 million from $120.0 million at December 31, 2005 to $121.2 million at June 30, 2006, with the increase invested principally in federal funds sold. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 balance sheets.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $19.9 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of $17.8 million was due principally to the net reduction in the loan portfolio and also due to the maturity of investment securities.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity. The securities portfolio decreased $8.6 million to $25.1 million at June 30, 2006 from $33.7 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was due to maturities and scheduled principal payments. There were no purchases of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Loans Receivable. Net loans receivable were $73.4 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $8.0 million from $81.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in net loans was the result of repayments of loans during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, Beach Bank 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, Beach Bank has established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $1.1 million at June 30, 2006. 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 Beach 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. Beach Bank’s allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at June 30, 2006.

Beach Bank’s impaired loans were $2.0 million at June 30, 2006, or 2.6 % of Beach Bank’s total gross loans, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2005, or 2.4% of Beach Bank’s total gross loans. Assets that are classified as impaired are those deemed by Beach Bank’s management as inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets that are classified as impaired have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. The impaired assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that Beach Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.



145





The total impaired assets and the percentage of total loans that are classified as impaired assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are listed in the table below. There was no other real estate owned (OREO) at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Total nonperforming assets increased in from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006 by $117,000, or 18%. In management’s best judgment, all nonperforming assets are either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at this time.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $1.3 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to depreciation.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased to $109.1 million at June 30, 2006 from $100.9 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of 8% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was partly the result of an advertising campaign to bring in certificates of deposit.

At December 31, 2005, the aggregate amount of deposits by foreign depositors is $1.3 million, of which $845,000 is held in certificates of deposit and $458,000 is held in demand deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. There were no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $2.3 million at June 30, 2006, compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2005. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by Beach Bank.

Capital

Beach Bank’s total shareholders’ equity was $9.2 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million from $9.7 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease of $0.5 million represents the net loss for the period.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Beach Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets and minimum leverage ratios. Beach Bank’s risk-weighted, Tier 1 risk-weighted, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 13.50%, 12.24% and 7.64%, respectively, at June 30, 2006 and 13.35%, 12.09% and 8.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2005. Based on these ratios, Beach Bank is considered to be “well capitalized.” Management expects Beach Bank to continue to be well capitalized.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005

General

Total assets decreased by $0.7 million from $120.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $120.0 million at December 31, 2005. Total net loans decreased by $7.9 million to $81.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $89.3 million at December 31, 2004. Securities increased $7.1 million to $33.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $26.6 million at December 31, 2004. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 balance sheets.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2004.

Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity. The securities portfolio increased $7.1 million to $33.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $26.6 million at December 31, 2004. New securities were purchased during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 using available excess cash. As part of the current investment strategy, Beach Bank attempted to earn more income from the investment portfolio by balancing the assets against the liquidity needed for loan funding.



147





Loans Receivable. Total loans were $81.4 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $7.9 million from $89.3 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease resulted primarily from a net decrease in Beach Bank’s commercial loan portfolio.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. Beach Bank has established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $1.1 million at December 31, 2005.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increase during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to the acquisition of select fixed assets for the South Dade Branch.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased to $100.9 million at December 31, 2005 from $89.2 million at December 31, 2004. In the South Florida market, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Beach Bank was able to attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, primarily money market and NOW accounts. When additional funds are needed to fulfill lending commitments, Beach Bank can, by means of marketing efforts and by adjusting the interest paid on deposit accounts, attract new deposits and retain existing accounts. Beach Bank does not have brokered deposits.

Debt. Beach Bank maintains an unsecured line of credit of $2.6 million and a secured line of credit of $13.8 million, each with Independent Bankers Bank, to meet its interim liquidity needs. There were borrowings outstanding under the unsecured line of credit of $2.6 million and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the secured line of credit as of December 31, 2005. There were borrowings outstanding under the secured line of credit of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2004.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB borrowings decreased $7.5 million from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005 as Beach Bank’s line of credit was suspended and all borrowings were repaid as scheduled.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $6.4 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2004. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by Beach Bank.

Capital

Beach Bank’s total shareholders’ equity was $9.7 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $0.3 million from $10.0 million at December 31, 2004. The change is due to the net loss of $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, partially offset by net proceeds of $1.9 million from capital raised during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SUN AMERICAN BANCORP
STOCKHOLDERS AND BEACH BANK SHAREHOLDERS

If the acquisition transaction is consummated, shareholders of Beach Bank, a Florida chartered commercial bank, will become stockholders of Sun American Bancorp, a Delaware corporation. As holders of Beach Bank common stock, the rights of Beach Bank shareholders are governed by the Beach Bank Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, referred to as the Beach Bank Articles in this proxy statement and prospectus, the Beach Bank By-laws, referred to as to the Beach Bank By-Laws in this proxy statement and prospectus, the Florida Business Corporation Act, referred to as the FBCA in this proxy statement and prospectus, and the Florida Banking Code. If the acquisition transaction is consummated, the former holders of Beach Bank common stock will become holders of Sun American Bancorp common stock and the rights of Sun American Bancorp common stockholders are governed by the Sun American Bancorp Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, referred to as the Sun American Bancorp Certificate in this proxy statement and prospectus, the Sun American Bancorp Amended and Restated By-Laws, referred to as the Sun American Bancorp By-Laws in this proxy statement and prospectus, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, referred to as the DGCL in this proxy statement and prospectus.

The following summary compares the rights of the holders of Beach Bank common stock with the rights of the holders of Sun American Bancorp common stock. The following information is qualified in its entirety by the Sun American Bancorp Certificate, the Sun American Bancorp By-Laws, the Beach Bank Articles, the Beach Bank By-Laws, the DGCL, the FBCA and the Florida Banking Code.

Size and Election of the Board of Directors

Beach Bank. The Beach Bank Articles provide that the number of directors shall be not fewer than five (5) directors, nor greater than thirteen (13) directors, and that the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by affirmative written consent of such plurality. The directors are divided into three classes, which are designated as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Each director serves for a three (3) year term. At each annual shareholder meeting, one-third (1/3) of the board of directors is elected.

Sun American Bancorp. Sun American Bancorp’s By-Laws provide that its board of directors will consist of not more than twenty-five (25) directors, nor less than two (2) directors, and that those directors that receive the highest number of votes will be elected at a meeting at which a quorum of stockholders is present. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate provides that the board of directors is divided into three classes, designated Classes I, II and III, which must be as nearly equal in number as possible. Each director serves for a three (3) year term. At each annual stockholder meeting, one-third (1/3) of the board of directors is elected.

Removal of Directors

Beach Bank. The FBCA provides that shareholders may remove directors with or without cause unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation provide that directors may be removed only for cause. The Beach Bank Articles do not provide that directors may be removed only for cause, thus, Beach Bank directors may be removed with or without cause if the number of votes cast to remove a director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove the director.

Sun American Bancorp. Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, members of a staggered board, such as the Sun American Bancorp Board, may only be removed for cause. Sun American Bancorp’s Certificate does not alter this default standard and, as a result, directors of Sun American Bancorp may be removed only for cause by the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Special Meetings of Stockholders; Action without a Meeting

Beach Bank. The board of directors, the Chairperson of the board of directors, the President or one or more shareholders owning in aggregate, not less than 51% of the stock of Beach Bank, upon written request, may call a special meeting of shareholders.



152





The FBCA provides that unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting may be taken without a vote and without prior notice if the action is taken by the holders of outstanding voting stock of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting groups entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The Beach Bank Articles do not prohibit action by written consent.

Sun American Bancorp. Under Sun American Bancorp’s By-Laws, a special meeting of Sun American Bancorp stockholders may be called by the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer or by stockholders entitled to cast at least 1/5 of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast at a meeting of stockholders.

The DGCL provides that unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, and subject to SEC rules and regulations applicable to Sun American Bancorp, any action by stockholders, which may be taken at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing or electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken has been signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate does not prohibit action by written consent or electronic transmission.

Quorum Requirements for Meetings of Stockholders

Beach Bank. A majority of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation, represented in person, by proxy or voting trust, constitutes a quorum at any meeting of shareholders.

Sun American Bancorp. At a meeting of the stockholders of Sun American Bancorp, a quorum consists of stockholders holding a majority in voting power of the capital stock of Sun American Bancorp outstanding, entitled to vote and represented either in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Mergers, Share Exchanges, Sales of Assets

Beach Bank. The Florida Banking Code provides that mergers, share exchanges and sales of substantially all of the assets of Florida corporations outside of the ordinary course of business must be approved by 51% or more of the total number of votes eligible to be cast on such matters. However, the Beach Bank Articles provide for a two-thirds affirmative vote of Beach Bank’s shareholders in connection with mergers and sales of all or substantially all of Beach Bank’s assets.

Sun American Bancorp. The DGCL provides that mergers and sales of all or substantially all of the assets of a Delaware corporation must be approved by a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon. The DGCL also provides, however, that, unless otherwise required under the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, the stockholders of the corporation surviving a merger need not approve the transaction if: (i) the agreement of merger does not amend in any respect the certificate of incorporation of such corporation; (ii) each share of stock of such corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger is to be an identical outstanding or treasury share of the surviving corporation after the effective date of the merger; and (iii) either no shares of common stock of the surviving corporation and no shares, securities or obligations convertible into such stock are to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger, or the authorized unissued shares or the treasury shares of common stock of the surviving corporation to be issued or delivered under the plan of merger plus those initially issuable upon conversion of any other shares, securities or obligations to be issued or delivered under such plan do not exceed 20% of the shares of common stock of such corporation outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger. The DGCL also provides that no stockholder vote is required in connection with certain mergers pursuant to which a corporation reorganizes into a holding company structure.

Amendment of Articles or Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws

Beach Bank. Unless the Florida Banking Code, the FBCA, the Beach Bank Articles, or the board of directors in a particular case requires a greater vote or a vote by voting groups, to be adopted, an amendment to the Beach Bank Articles must be approved by a majority of the holders of common stock of Beach Bank. The Beach Bank Articles require a two-thirds vote of the holders of Beach Bank common stock to amend the Beach Bank Articles in connection with amendments that increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the



153





corporation and that create new classes of capital stock of the corporation with specified voting rights, as well as the approval of the amendment by a majority of the total number of directors.

As is permitted by the FBCA, the Beach Bank By-Laws give the board of directors the power to amend, alter or repeal partially or entirely the By-Laws by a vote of a majority of the total number of directors.

Sun American Bancorp. Under the DGCL, following approval by the corporation’s board of directors, a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote as a class, unless the certificate requires the vote of a larger portion of the stock. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate requires supermajority stockholder approval to amend or repeal any provision of, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, certain provisions in the Sun American Bancorp Certificate governing the election or removal of directors and the filling of vacancies on the Board.

As is permitted by the DGCL, the Sun American Bancorp Certificate gives the board of directors the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Sun American Bancorp By-Laws. The stockholders entitled to vote have concurrent power to adopt, amend or repeal the By-Laws.

Transfer Restrictions

Beach Bank. Except for certain exempted transfers by shareholders by bequeath or devise, the Beach Bank Articles prohibit the transfer of shares of Beach Bank common stock unless such transfer has been approved in advance by Beach Bank’s board of directors and, in some cases, also by its shareholders. Furthermore, in connection with transfers of Beach Bank common stock that have been approved by Beach Bank’s board of directors, the Beach Bank shareholders who otherwise would not be a party to such transaction have “tag-along” rights or the right to have some proportion of their shares transferred in the transaction for the same consideration and on the same terms as the original transferee unless otherwise determined by the Beach Bank board of directors.

Sun American Bancorp. Under the DGCL, restrictions on the transfer of shares may be imposed by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or by an agreement among any number of stockholders or among such stockholders and the corporation. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate and the Sun American Bancorp By-Laws do not contain any restriction on the transfer of Sun American Bancorp common stock, except as provided under state and federal securities laws.

Rights of Preemption

Beach Bank. Holders of shares of Beach Bank common stock do not have any pre-emptive rights to subscribe to or acquire additional shares of Beach Bank common stock that may be issued.

Sun American Bancorp. Generally, holders of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock do not have any pre-emptive rights to subscribe to or acquire additional shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock that may be issued. On April 17, 2003, we entered into a participation agreement with each of McAlpine Park Lane, Inc., a Florida corporation, and McAlpine Ltd., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, collectively referred to as the McAlpine entities in this proxy statement and prospectus, in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to the McAlpine entities. Under the participation agreements, the McAlpine entities have the right to purchase: (i) shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any private or public offering in an amount that will allow the McAlpine entities to maintain their respective beneficial ownership of our common stock, as determined by the formula specified in the participation agreements. We must notify the McAlpine entities of all of our private and public offerings, and the McAlpine entities are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their participation rights within 30 days of the beginning of such private or public offering.

In addition, on August 1, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors that purchased units in a private placement in August of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, each investor whose subscription amount exceeded $1.0 million in the private placement, referred to as the first refusal investors in this proxy statement and prospectus, has the right to purchase, except in certain exempt issuances: (i) shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any non-exempt



154





offering in such amounts that would maintain the first refusal investor’s proportionate ownership of common stock, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date immediately preceding such offering. We must notify the first refusal investors of all of our non-exempt offerings, and the first refusal investors are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their first refusal rights within 5 business days of the receipt of such notice. The first refusal rights described above expire on the third anniversary of the applicable closing date for the private placement of each first refusal investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the McAlpine entities nor the first refusal investors have participation or first refusal rights, as applicable, as a result of the acquisition transaction.

Rights of Dissenting Stockholders

Beach Bank. Under the Florida Banking Code, a shareholder has the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent from certain corporate transactions and receive the “fair value” of his or her shares in cash in lieu of the consideration he or she otherwise would have received in the transaction. For more information about the rights of dissenting Beach Bank shareholders, see “Terms of the Acquisition Transaction – Dissenters’ and Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 45.

Sun American Bancorp. Under the DGCL, a stockholder has the right, in certain circumstances, to dissent from a merger (and also from asset sales and charter amendments if the corporation’s certificate of incorporation so provides) and receive the “fair value” of his or her shares in cash in lieu of the consideration he or she otherwise would have received in the transaction, together with a fair rate of interest thereon. For this purpose, “fair value” may be determined by all generally accepted techniques of valuation used in the financial community, excluding any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the transaction, but including elements of future value that are known or susceptible of proof. Such fair value is determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, if a petition for appraisal is timely filed and a stockholder otherwise complies with the appraisal statute. Appraisal rights are not available, however, to stockholders of a corporation: (i) if the shares are listed on a national securities exchange (as is Sun American Bancorp’s common stock) or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc., or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; and (ii) stockholders are permitted by the terms of the merger or consolidation to accept in exchange for their shares: (a) shares of stock of the surviving or resulting corporation; (b) shares of stock of another corporation listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (c) cash in lieu of fractional shares of such stock; or (d) any combination thereof. Stockholders are not permitted appraisal rights in a merger if such corporation is the surviving corporation and no vote of its stockholders is required to approve the merger.

Preferred Stock

Beach Bank. Beach Bank is not authorized to issue preferred stock.

Sun American Bancorp. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock from time to time by resolution of the board of directors. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

Business Combinations

Beach Bank. The FBCA contains an affiliated transaction statute that prohibits certain Florida corporations (other than corporations that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or which have not had more than 300 shareholders of record during the three years preceding the date of announcement of an affiliated transaction) from engaging in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an “interested shareholder” unless certain conditions are met, or the transaction is approved by the holders of two-thirds of the corporation’s voting shares other than those owned by the interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially owns more than 10% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. Beach Bank currently has less than 300 shareholders of record.

Sun American Bancorp. Subject to some exceptions, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits corporations whose stock is publicly traded from entering into certain “business combinations” with “interested stockholders.”  Interested stockholders are persons beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (or one who is an affiliate of the corporation and has over the past three years beneficially owned 15%



155





or more of such stock) for a three-year period, unless prior to the time the person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors approved either: (i) the business combination; or (ii) the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 203 of the DGCL permits a corporation to enter into a business combination with an interested stockholder if, among other things: (i) the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation that is not owned by the interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, such stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding voting stock held by officers and directors of the corporation or by certain stock plans); or (iii) the corporation’s certificate of incorporation contains a provision exempting the corporation from Section 203 of the DGCL. Sun American Bancorp’s Certificate contains a provision exempting it from Section 203 of the DGCL.

Directors’ Liability

Beach Bank. Pursuant to the FBCA, a director of Beach Bank has no personal liability to Beach Bank or any other person for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, regarding corporate management or policy, by a director, unless: (i) the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director; and (ii) the director’s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; (c) a circumstance under which the director would be liable for an unlawful distribution by Beach Bank; (d) in a proceeding by or in the right of Beach Bank to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of Beach Bank, or willful misconduct; or (e) in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than Beach Bank or a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission that was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. This statute would absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence. It would not permit a director to be exculpated, however, for liability for actions involving conflicts of interest, and it does not affect the availability of injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy. Additionally, the Beach Bank Articles provide for indemnification of directors as described below.

Sun American Bancorp. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate exculpates Sun American Bancorp’s directors for monetary liability for breaches of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Specifically, the Sun American Bancorp Certificate provides that a director of Sun American Bancorp will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director except: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for the payment of certain unlawful dividends and the making of certain stock purchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision would absolve directors of liability for monetary damages for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence. It would not permit a director to be exculpated, however, for damages for actions involving conflicts of interest or breaches of the traditional “duty of loyalty” to us and our stockholders, and it would not affect the availability of injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy.

Indemnification and Advancement

Beach Bank. Under the FBCA, Beach Bank is required to indemnify an officer or director who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. The Beach Bank Articles provide for mandatory indemnification of employees and agents under such circumstances. The Beach Bank Articles further provide for mandatory indemnification of directors against costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, liabilities, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with actions other than actions by or in the right of the corporation if such director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. With respect to actions by or in the right of the corporation, the Beach Bank Articles provide for mandatory indemnification of costs, charges and expenses so long as such director has met the applicable standard of conduct and provided that indemnification may not be made for



156





any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged liable to Beach Bank unless the court in which the action was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom to be liable to the corporation for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation. The Beach Bank Articles further provide for permissive indemnification of Beach Bank officers, employees and agents under the same terms as directors set forth above.

The Beach Bank Articles provide for the mandatory advancement of litigation expenses to directors (and for permissive advancement of litigation expenses to officers) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, as the case may be, to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person was not entitled to indemnification.

Sun American Bancorp. Under the DGCL, to the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or any claim, issue or matter therein), he or she must be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. The Sun American Bancorp Certificate provides that directors, officers, employees and agents of Sun American Bancorp shall be indemnified to the full extent permitted under the DGCL. Under the DGCL, other than in an action brought by or in the right of Sun American Bancorp, indemnification for expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement is available if it is determined that the proposed indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of Sun American Bancorp, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of such action if the proposed indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Sun American Bancorp and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to Sun American Bancorp unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses.

The Sun American Bancorp By-Laws provide for the mandatory advancement of litigation expenses to officers and directors upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay the amounts advanced to such person if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer was not entitled to indemnification.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present is required to approve the proposals to: (i) issue and sell up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of substantially all the assets, and assumption of substantially all the liabilities, of Beach Bank; (ii) amend and restate our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan to: (a) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, (b) increase to 3,000,000 the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options, and (c) revise the plan to provide that all options granted under the plan must have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the plan) on the date of grant; and (iii) adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals.

On the record date, there were approximately 19,217,759 shares of our common stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least 9,608,880 shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock is necessary in order for there to be a quorum at the special meeting. A quorum must be present in order for the special meeting to be called to order.

Voting of Proxies

Shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies received at or prior to the special meeting of stockholders will be voted at the special meeting in the manner specified by the holders of such shares. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted in favor of all proposals. No proxy with instructions to vote against each of Proposal 1, 2, 3, and 4, will be voted in favor of any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

Any stockholder present in person or by proxy (including broker non-votes, which generally occur when a broker that holds shares in street name for a customer does not have the authority to vote on certain non-routine matters because its customer has not provided any voting instructions with respect to the matter) at the special meeting who abstains from voting will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Under the Delaware law, an abstention from voting on any proposal will have the same legal effect as an “against” vote. Broker non-votes will count as votes against the proposals to amend and restate our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to: (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000; and (ii) effect a 1 share for 2.5 shares reverse stock split to occur after the closing of the acquisition transaction and prior to December 31, 2007. Broker non-votes will not count as votes against any other proposals.

Our board of directors urges you to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

If any other matters are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named in the proxy card and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment, unless the proxy indicates otherwise. The board of directors does not know of any other matters other than the proposals set forth above that may be brought before the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Revocability of Proxies

You may change your vote at any time before your proxy card is voted at the special meeting of stockholders. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written, dated notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete, date and submit a new proxy card or later dated proxy card. If you choose either of these two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card or later-dated proxy card to our corporate office as indicated on the special meeting notice for delivery by [__], 2006. Third, you can attend the special meeting of stockholders and vote your shares in person. Your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow the directions received from your broker to change those instructions.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting proxies in connection with the special meeting of stockholders and the costs of printing the registration statement and this proxy statement and prospectus. Solicitation of proxies may be made in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile, or other form of communication by our directors, officers, and employees who will not be specially compensated for such solicitation. Nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians will be requested to forward solicitation materials to beneficial owners and to secure their voting instructions, if necessary, and will be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation not contained in this proxy statement and prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by us, Sun American Bank or any other person. The delivery of this proxy statement and prospectus does not, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our or Beach Bank’s business or affairs since the date of the proxy statement and prospectus.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Sun American Bancorp’s board of directors has unanimously approved the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, believes that the acquisition transaction is in our and our stockholders’ best interests, and recommends that you vote “FOR” all proposals.



159





In the course of reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, our board of directors, among other things, consulted with its legal advisors, Blank Rome LLP, regarding the legal terms of the acquisition agreement. For a discussion of the factors considered by our board of directors in reaching its conclusion, see “Background of and Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction — Sun American Bancorp’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction.”

Auditor Information

A representative of Crowe Chizek and Company, LLC, our independent auditors, is expected to be present at the special meeting of stockholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires, and respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder Proposals

The deadline for providing us with timely notice of any stockholder proposal to be submitted outside of the Rule 14a-8 process for consideration at our 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, referred to as the 2007 meeting in this proxy statement and prospectus, will be May 23, 2007. As to all such proposals that we do not have notice on or prior to May 23, 2007, discretionary authority shall be granted to the persons designated in our proxy related to the 2007 meeting to vote on such proposals. In addition, the Rule 14a-8 requirements applicable to inclusion of stockholder proposals in our proxy materials related to the 2007 meeting require that a stockholder proposal regarding the 2007 meeting must be submitted to us at our office located at 1200 N. Federal Highway, Suite 111-A, Boca Raton, Florida  33432, attn: Michael E. Golden, President and Chief Executive Officer, on or prior to March 9, 2007 to receive consideration for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2007 meeting. Any such proposal must also comply with the proxy rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8.

Change in Control

On August 2, 2005, in connection with the private placement of units to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, referred to as the Securities Act in this proxy statement and prospectus, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with York Capital Management, L.P., York Investment Limited and York Global Value Partners, L.P., collectively referred to as the York Entities in this proxy statement and prospectus, to purchase, in aggregate, 3,150,000 units at a cash purchase price of $4.00 per unit, subject to receipt of bank regulatory approval by the York Entities. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Series F Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of common stock. On October 27, 2005, we completed the $12.6 million private placement of units to the York Entities and the York Entities owned 17.99% of our common stock outstanding as of such date, which may have resulted in a change in control. As no individual, group of individuals or entity owned 17.99% or more of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the private placement on October 27, 2005, we cannot identify the individual(s) or entity from whom control may have been assumed. As of the record date, the York Entities beneficially owned, in aggregate, 23.4% of our common stock.

PROPOSAL 1 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR AMENDED AND
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 40,000,000 TO 50,000,000

Subject to stockholder approval at the special meeting, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000. The board of directors approved the restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include the amendment. The complete text of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Appendix D.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is necessary to approve this Proposal 1.

Reasons for the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

If this Proposal 1 is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will provide for 55,000,000 authorized shares consisting of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. Our board of directors believes it is in our and our stockholders’ best interests to increase the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue in order to provide for future issuances of common stock for any proper corporate purpose, such as to acquire other companies, banks or other financial institutions, to raise capital, and to redeem outstanding warrants or other securities.

Our current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for 45,000,000 authorized shares consisting of 40,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the record date, there were 19,217,759 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. We reserved 17,890,874 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with securities that are exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock and, therefore, we have authority to issue only 2,891,367 shares. We will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction unless our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is amended to authorize the issuance of additional shares of common stock.

Amendment and Restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

If the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting, the first paragraph of Article FOURTH will be revised to read as follows:

FOURTH.    The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 55,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, as more fully described below (the “Preferred Stock”).

Upon stockholder approval, if any, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended and restated to read in the form attached hereto as Appendix D.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Delaware law, stockholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Dilutive and Other Effects of Potential New Stock Issuances

The additional shares of common stock, if authorized by the adoption of this amendment, would have rights that are identical to the currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Adoption of this amendment and any issuance of additional shares of common stock may result in the dilution of the equity interests of existing common stockholders, reduce the proportionate voting power of existing common stockholders and may decrease the market value per share of common stock.



161





Although our stockholders generally do not have preemptive rights with respect to our common stock, on April 17, 2003, we entered into a participation agreement with each of McAlpine Park Lane, Inc., a Florida corporation, and McAlpine Ltd., a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, collectively referred to as the McAlpine entities in this proxy statement and prospectus, in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to the McAlpine entities. Under the participation agreements, the McAlpine entities have the right to purchase: (i) shares of our common stock; (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any private or public offering in an amount that will allow the McAlpine entities to maintain their respective beneficial ownership of our common stock, as determined by the formula specified in the participation agreements. We must notify the McAlpine entities of all of our private and public offerings, and the McAlpine entities are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their participation rights within 30 days of the beginning of such private or public offering.

In addition, on August 1, 2005, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with investors that purchased units in a private placement in August of 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, each investor whose subscription amount exceeded $1.0 million in the private placement, referred to as a first refusal investors in this proxy statement and prospectus, has the right to purchase, except in certain exempt issuances: (i) shares of our common stock: (ii) warrants to purchase shares of our common stock; and (iii) any security convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or warrants offered by us in any non-exempt offering in such amounts that would maintain the first refusal investor’s proportionate ownership of common stock, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date immediately preceding such offering. We must notify the first refusal investors of all of our non-exempt offerings, and the first refusal investors are required to notify us of their intention to exercise their first refusal rights within 5 business days of the receipt of such notice. The first refusal rights described above expire on the third anniversary of the applicable closing date for the private placement of each first refusal investor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the McAlpine entities nor the first refusal investors have participation or first refusal rights, as applicable, as a result of the acquisition transaction.

Subject to certain limitations described below, our board of directors may issue authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock without further stockholder approval. Except as described in Proposal 2 below, the board of directors does not currently intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any future issuance of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock, unless such stockholder approval is required by the Delaware law, the rules of any exchange or other market on which our securities may then be listed or traded, our charter or bylaws then in effect, or other applicable rules and regulations. See “– Dilutive and Other Effects of the Approval of Proposal 2” below for a more detailed description of the effect of the acquisition transaction described in Proposal 2.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Increase in Authorized Common Stock

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws contain certain provisions, including, but not limited to: (i) a provision authorizing our board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and fix the powers, designations, preferences and rights of such shares of preferred stock without any stockholder approval; (ii) a provision establishing our classified board of directors; (iii) a provision requiring supermajority stockholder approval to amend the section of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation regarding the classified board of directors; and (iv) a provision related to the calling of a special meeting of stockholders that may be considered to have an anti-takeover effect.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock could, in some situations, also have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts and may limit the opportunity for stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal. However, the board of directors is not aware of any attempts to take control of the company and has not presented this proposal with the intent that it be utilized as an anti-takeover device.



162





Effective Date/Termination of the Amendment and Restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

The effective date of the amendment and the corresponding restatement will be the date on which the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware following the approval of stockholders, which date will be selected by our board of directors. If, at any time prior to the effective date of the amendment, the board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment and the related restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is no longer in our or our stockholders’ best interests, then the amendment and the restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be abandoned without any further action by the stockholders.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 1

If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal 1, we will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 1.



163





PROPOSAL 2 — APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF UP TO 4,500,000 SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK IN CONNECTION WITH OUR ACQUISITION OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE
ASSETS, AND ASSUMPTION OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE LIABILITIES, OF BEACH BANK

Subject to stockholder approval of this Proposal 2 and the amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as described in Proposal 1 above, our board of directors approved the issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction.

Required Vote

Under Section 710 of the AMEX Company Guide, this Proposal 2 should be approved by the majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting.

Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction

Our board of directors believes that the acquisition transaction is in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The board of directors believes the acquisition transaction is consistent with our growth strategy, which focuses on, among other matters, acquisitions of Florida community banks. For additional information regarding the reasons for the acquisition transaction, see “Background of and Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction – Sun American Bancorp’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction.”

Common Stock to be Issued in Connection with the Acquisition Transaction

Any shares of common stock issued pursuant to the acquisition transaction will have the rights and privileges, including the voting, dividend and liquidation rights, that the presently outstanding shares of common stock possess under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Our stockholders generally do not have preemptive rights with respect to our common stock and, except as provided in “– Dilutive and Other Effects of Potential New Stock Issuances” in Proposal 1 above, existing holders of common stock would not have any preferential or participation rights if the board of directors issues additional shares of common stock, warrants or other securities in the acquisition transaction.

Listing on American Stock Exchange

Our common stock and certain warrants to purchase shares of our common stock are listed on the AMEX. Subject to stockholder approval of Proposals 1 and 2, as described in this proxy statement and prospectus, and the consummation of the acquisition transaction, we intend to file an additional listing application with the AMEX to list up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock to be issued in connection with the acquisition transaction.

Stockholder Approval Requirement

Under Section 712 of the AMEX Company Guide, as a prerequisite to approval of our application to list additional shares of our common stock to be issued, as sole or partial consideration for an acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, we are required to obtain stockholder approval in connection with any transaction that involves the issuance or potential issuance of common stock that could result in an increase in then-outstanding common stock of 20% or more. As of the record date, we had 19,217,759 shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, because our proposed issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock will be in excess of the AMEX 20% threshold, as stated above, we submit this Proposal 2 for the stockholders’ approval in order to comply with the AMEX rules.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Delaware law, our stockholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with this Proposal 2.

Dilutive and Other Effects of the Approval of Proposal 2

If this Proposal 2 is approved, we will have the authority to issue, without further stockholder approval, up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the acquisition of substantially all the assets, and assumption of substantially all the liabilities, of Beach Bank.



164





Potential Dilutive Effect on Our Stock

As a result of the acquisition transaction, the number of shares of outstanding common stock will increase substantially and significantly dilute the ownership interests and proportionate voting power of the existing stockholders.

If this Proposal 2 is approved and the acquisition transaction is consummated, we will issue up to approximately 4,500,000 shares of common stock. As a result of the issuance of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of common stock, our stockholders will incur significant dilution of their interests in our company. We will have approximately 23,717,759 shares of common stock outstanding if we issue all 4,500,000 shares as of the record date, and holders of our 19,217,759 shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date will own approximately only 81% of our issued and outstanding common stock after the closing of the acquisition transaction. Therefore, you should consider the potential significant dilution in determining whether to approve this Proposal 2.

Potential Negative Effect on Our Stock Price

As a result of the acquisition transaction, we may issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock at a per share price below the market price of the common stock as of the date of issuance. The issuance of common stock could have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock by increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Such downward pressure could encourage short sales by certain investors, which could place further downward pressure on the price of the common stock.

If we register up to 4,500,000 additional shares of our common stock under the Securities Act, these shares will be eligible for resale in the public markets without any volume limitations, subject to certain exceptions applicable to our affiliates. Any such sales, or the anticipation of the possibility of such sales, represent an overhang on the market and could depress the market price of our common stock. The board of directors may generally attempt to moderate the timing and amount of sales of our common stock to the public in an effort to minimize any adverse pressure on the value of the common stock. No assurance can be given, however, that these attempts will be successful.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 2

Absent stockholder approval of this Proposal 2, we will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction, which represents a significant step in the implementation of our growth strategy.

Interests of Certain Persons in Proposal 2

None of our directors or officers are affiliated with Beach Bank and, therefore, will not receive any compensation in connection with the acquisition transaction.

We engaged, and will pay a fee or commission to Colonial, the majority owner of which is Brett Golden, the son of Michael Golden, our director, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc., referred to as KBW, as brokers in connection with the acquisition transaction in accordance with the terms of letter agreements between Colonial and us and KBW and us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of Sun American Bancorp” above.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 2.



165





PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR AMENDED AND
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A 1 SHARE FOR 2.5 SHARES
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO OCCUR AFTER THE CLOSING OF THE ACQUISITION
TRANSACTION AND PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2007

Subject to stockholder approval at the special meeting, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1 share for 2.5 shares reverse stock split to occur after the closing of the acquisition transaction and prior to December 31, 2007. In connection with the reverse stock split, every 2.5 shares of our common stock outstanding will be combined and reduced into one share of our common stock. The board of directors approved the restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include the amendment. Approval of this proposal is required to consummate the reverse stock split.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is necessary to approve this Proposal 3.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

If this Proposal 3 is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting, our board of directors will have stockholder approval to effect a 1 share for 2.5 shares reverse stock split after the closing of the acquisition transaction and prior to December 31, 2007. The reverse stock split will be effected whenever the board deems it advisable during this period, if at all. In connection with the reverse stock split, every 2.5 shares of our common stock outstanding will be combined and reduced into one share of our common stock. In addition, at least initially upon consummation of the reverse stock split, our market price will increase by 2.5 times the trading price of our common stock on AMEX on the date immediately preceding the consummation of the reverse stock split. By way of example, if our common stock closes at a trading price of $5.50 per share on the date immediately preceding the consummation of the reverse stock split, our common stock will open at a trading price of $13.75 on the date of the consummation of the reverse stock split. Our board of directors believes that this higher trading price may expand the market of potential investors and help generate interest in our company among institutional and other investors. Our board of directors believes it is in our and our stockholders’ best interests to effect the reverse stock split.

Amendment and Restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

If Proposal 1 and this Proposal 3 are approved by the stockholders at the special meeting, the first paragraph of Article FOURTH will be revised, when our board of directors deems it advisable during the period after the closing of the acquisition transaction and prior to December 31, 2007, if at all, to read as follows:

FOURTH.    The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 25,000,000 shares, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.025 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, as more fully described below (the “Preferred Stock”).

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Delaware law, stockholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the amendment and restatement of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

After the effective date of the proposed reverse stock split, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of our common stock. The proposed reverse stock split will affect all of our existing stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in us, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in any of our shareholders owning a fractional share as described below. Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the proposed reverse stock split, other than as a result of the rounding of fractional shares as described below.

The number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the proposed reverse stock split. Although the proposed reverse stock split by itself will not affect the rights of stockholders or any stockholder’s proportionate



166





equity interest in us, subject to the treatment of fractional shares, the number of authorized shares of common stock will be increased pursuant to Proposal 1 (if approved by our stockholders at the special meeting). For additional information on the effects of the increase in the authorized shares of common stock, see “– Dilutive and Other Effects of Potential New Stock Issuances” and “– Anti-Takeover Effect of Increase in Authorized Common Stock” in Proposal 1 above.

Our current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for 45,000,000 authorized shares, consisting of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Assuming Proposal 1 and this Proposal 3 are approved by stockholders at the special meeting, we will be authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.025 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

Based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date, and assuming approval by our stockholders of Proposal 2 described above, approximately 9,487,104 shares of common stock would be issued and outstanding and approximately 7,156,350 shares of common stock would be reserved for issuance in connection with securities that are exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, after the consummation of the reverse stock split. In addition, we will have approximately 3,356,546 authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock.

If this Proposal 3 is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting, and assuming the approval of the issuance and sale of up to 4,500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition transaction described in Proposal 2 above, our capitalization will change as follows:

Common Stock Capitalization Prior to Reverse Stock Split:

     

  

Authorized for Issuance:

 

40,000,000

Outstanding:

 

19,217,759

Authorized and Reserved for Issuance for Shares to be Issued
upon Exercise of Options and Warrants:

 

17,890,874

Authorized and Unreserved for Issuance:

 

2,891,367

Common Stock Capitalization Following Approval of Proposals 1, 2 and 3:

 

 

Authorized for Issuance:

 

20,000,000

Outstanding:

 

9,487,104

Authorized and Reserved for Issuance for Shares to be Issued
upon Exercise of Options and Warrants:

 

7,156,350

Authorized and Unreserved for Issuance:

 

3,356,546

Except as otherwise disclosed in this proxy statement and prospectus, our board of directors does not have any definite plans with regard to these remaining authorized shares of common stock following the approval of Proposals 1, 2 and 3 by the stockholders at the special meeting.

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect the registration of the common stock under the Exchange Act.

Effective Date/Termination of the Amendment and Restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

If the stockholders approve this Proposal 3 at the special meeting, our board of directors will be authorized to effect the reverse stock split at any time, if at all, from the closing of the acquisition transaction until December 31, 2007. The reverse stock split is contingent upon the consummation of, and the compliance with, all applicable regulatory approval or notification requirements, including, but not limited to, submitting an Additional Listing Application to AMEX. Upon receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the effective date of the amendment and the corresponding restatement will be the date on which the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which date will be selected by our board of directors. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, on the effective date of the reverse stock



167





split, every 2.5 shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined and converted, automatically and without any action on the part of our stockholders, into 1 share of our common stock. If, at any time prior to the effective date of the amendment, the board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in our or our stockholders’ best interests, then the reverse stock split and corresponding amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be abandoned without any further action by the stockholders.

Rounding of Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the proposed reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional share of the post-reverse stock split common stock, a cash payment in the amount equal to the fraction of a whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock that such stockholder otherwise would have received by virtue of the reverse stock split multiplied by the closing price of a share of the post-reverse stock split common stock on the effective date of the reverse stock split, as reported by AMEX or any national securities exchange or national dealer quotation system on which our shares of common stock may then be listed or quoted.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, stockholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. Our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-reverse stock split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse stock split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse stock split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us to our stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until requested to do so.

Accounting Consequences

As a result of the proposed reverse stock split, the par value of our common stock will change from $0.01 to $0.025 per share. As a result, on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will remain unchanged. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

Certain Material Federal U.S. Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. The following discussion is based upon the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to as the Code in this proxy statement and prospectus, treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings and pronouncements, and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time by legislative, judicial or administrative action. Any such changes may be applied retroactively.

Any discussion of federal tax issues in this proxy statement and prospectus is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, shareholders are hereby notified that: (A) any discussion of federal tax issues in this proxy statement and prospectus is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by shareholders, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on them under the Internal Revenue Code; (B) such discussion is written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions or matters addressed herein; and (C) shareholders should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS or opinions from counsel with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences discussed below. The discussion below does not in any way bind the IRS or the courts or in any way constitute an assurance that the United States federal income tax consequences discussed herein will be accepted by the IRS or the courts. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending



168





on such stockholder’s particular situation or status. This discussion is limited to stockholders who hold their common stock as capital assets and it does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to stockholders who are subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws, such as:

·

financial institutions and mutual funds;

·

banks;

·

insurance companies;

·

investment companies;

·

retirement plans;

·

tax-exempt organizations;

·

brokers or dealers in securities or foreign securities;

·

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method;

·

persons that hold their common stock as part of a straddle, a hedge against a currency risk or a constructive sale or conversion transaction;

·

persons that are or who hold their common stock through partnerships or pass-through entities;

·

persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States or who are expatriates, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or foreign estates or trusts;

·

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

·

persons who hold stock as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code;

·

persons who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; or

·

persons who acquired their common stock in connection with a stock option or stock purchase plan or in some other compensatory transaction, such as any 401(k) plan, deferred compensation plan or other retirement plan.

In addition, the discussion does not consider the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws, or estate or gift tax considerations or the alternative minimum tax.

This summary is limited to taxpayers who are U.S. holders for federal income tax purposes. You are a U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if you are:

·

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

·

a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state (including the District of Columbia),

·

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

·

a trust if (x) a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) certain circumstances apply and the trust has validly elected to be treated as a United States person.

HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

Consequences to the Company Shareholders who receive Common Stock in the Reverse Stock Split

We intend to treat the exchange of new common stock for existing common stock in the reverse stock split as a recapitalization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Accordingly, a stockholder who receives only new common stock in exchange for the stockholder’s existing common stock should not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split, should have a tax basis in such stockholder’s common stock received in the reverse stock split equal to its tax basis in its existing common stock, and should include its holding period in its existing common stock in its holding period for the new common stock received in the reverse stock split.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

If approved and implemented, the reverse stock split could result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock on a post-reverse stock split basis. Odd lots may be more difficult to sell or require greater transaction costs per share to sell than shares in “even-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. This is not the only risk associated with effecting the reverse stock split and is not meant to be an exhaustive list. For additional risks associated with our company and an investment in our securities, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 3

If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal 3, the current market price of our common stock may not generate interest in our company among investors and we may not be able to raise future capital to fund our operations and help continue to achieve our growth strategy on terms that are favorable to us or at all.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 3.

PROPOSAL 4 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR 2005 STOCK
OPTION AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Subject to stockholder approval at the special meeting, our board of directors adopted an amendment to our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, referred to as the Plan in this proxy statement and prospectus, to: (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000; (ii) increase to 3,000,000 the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options; and (iii) revise the Plan to provide that all options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the Plan) on the date of grant, such amendments are collectively referred to as the Plan Amendments in this proxy statement and prospectus. The board of directors approved the restatement of the Plan to include the Plan Amendments.

The reason for seeking stockholder approval of the Plan Amendments described in this Proposal 4 is to satisfy requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to as the Code in this proxy statement and prospectus, which require stockholder approval for certain amendments to a plan pursuant to which Incentive Stock Options (as defined below) may be granted and for the Plan to satisfy one of the conditions of Section 162(m) of the Code applicable to performance-based compensation. In addition, stockholder approval of this Proposal 4 is required to comply with Section 711 of the AMEX Company Guide, which requires stockholder approval to amend a stock option or purchase plan or other equity compensation arrangement pursuant to which options or stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants.

Required Vote

Under Section 710 of the AMEX Company Guide, this Proposal 4 should be approved by the majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting.

Reasons for the Plan Amendments and Restatement of the Plan

The Plan was approved by our board of directors on September 21, 2005 and by our stockholders on December 16, 2005. The purpose of the Plan is to promote our and our stockholders’ long term interests by providing a means for attracting and retaining officers, directors, other key employees, consultants and/or advisors to us by providing for awards in the form of common stock.

Our board of directors believes that we and our stockholders benefit significantly from having our officers, directors, other key employees, consultants and/or advisors receive awards of restricted stock or options to purchase common stock, and that the opportunity thus afforded such persons to acquire common stock is an essential element of an effective management incentive program. Our board of directors also believes that options, particularly Incentive Stock Options, are valuable in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel and in providing additional motivation to such personnel to use their best efforts on behalf of us and our stockholders. As of the record date, options to purchase 1,253,900 shares of our common stock and 100,000 shares of restricted stock were granted and outstanding under the Plan. Of the options to purchase 1,253,900 shares of our common stock granted and outstanding under the Plan, 628,900 are in the form of Incentive Stock Options. Our board of directors believes it is in our and our stockholders’ best interest to continue to utilize equity based compensation to attract and retain officers, directors, other key employees, consultants and/or advisors to us through the grant of awards under the Plan. Thus, our board of directors believes it is in our and our stockholders’ best interest to: (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000, (ii) increase the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000; and (iii) revise the Plan to provide that all options granted under the Plan must have an exercise price of at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock (as defined in the Plan) on the date of grant.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Delaware law, stockholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the amendment and restatement of our 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan.



171





Summary of the Material Terms and Conditions of the Amended and Restated Plan

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Plan, as amended and restated. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Appendix E. Stockholders are urged to read the text of the Plan in its entirety.

Eligibility

All officers, directors and other key employees of and consultants and/or advisors to us and to any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation are eligible to receive options or awards of restricted stock under the Plan. As of the record date, approximately 22 officers, 6 non-employee directors, 60 other employees and 13 consultants and/or advisors were eligible to participate in the Plan.

Awards under the Amended and Restated Plan

Awards made pursuant to the Plan may be in the form of options or grants of shares of restricted stock. Options granted under the Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. An Incentive Stock Option is an option that satisfies all of the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and a Non-Qualified Stock Option is an option that either does not satisfy all of those requirements or the terms of the option provide that it will not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “option” includes both Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Committee, as defined below, may also grant awards entitling the participant to receive a stated number shares of common stock, which awards may be subject to restrictions or forfeiture for a period of time as stipulated by the board of directors or the Committee, as applicable. The dollar value of awards of restricted stock granted under the Plan shall be based upon the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant.

Administration

The Plan shall be administered by our board of directors or a Compensation Committee appointed by our board of directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee must consist of a minimum of two and a maximum of five members of the board of directors, each of whom shall be a “Non-Employee Director” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3(b)(3) or any future corresponding rule, except that the failure of the Compensation Committee for any reason to be composed solely of Non-Employee Directors shall not prevent an option or restricted stock award from being considered granted under the Plan. References to the term “Committee” under this Proposal 4 refer to either our board of directors or a Compensation Committee comprised of Non-Employee Directors. Under the Plan, the Committee has the right to adopt such rules for the conduct of its business and the administration of the Plan as it considers desirable. The Committee has the right to construe the Plan, and the options or awards of restricted stock issued pursuant to it, to correct defects and omissions and to reconcile inconsistencies to the extent necessary to effectuate the purpose of the Plan and the options or awards of restricted stock issued pursuant to it.

Common Stock Subject to the Amended and Restated Plan

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options or awards of restricted stock granted under the Plan. Up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. As of September 22, 2006, the market value of the common stock was $5.50 per share, as listed on AMEX.

Limitation on Maximum Number of Options Awarded

The Plan provides that the maximum number of options or restricted stock that may be awarded to any single participant under the Plan shall be no more than is equal to 20% of the shares authorized for issuance for awards to outside directors and shall be no more than is equal to 60% of the shares authorized for issuance for awards to officers, key employees, consultants or advisors. The purpose of this limitation is to enable awards of options made pursuant to the Plan to comply with one of the conditions of Section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the annual deductibility of compensation paid to our “named executive officers,” as that term is defined in Item 402(a)(2) of Regulation S-B, unless it is performance based.



172





Exercise Price of Options/Payment of Exercise Price

The exercise price for options issued under the Plan shall be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of the option. The exercise price of an option may be paid in cash or the delivery of already owned shares of our common stock having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, or a combination thereof.

Our board of directors has interpreted the provision of the Plan that allows payment of the exercise price in our common stock to permit the “pyramiding” of shares in successive exercises. Thus, an optionee could initially exercise an option in part, acquiring a small number of shares of common stock, and immediately thereafter effect further exercises of the option, using the common stock acquired upon earlier exercises to pay for an increasingly greater number of shares received on each successive exercise. This procedure could permit an optionee to pay the exercise price by using a single share of common stock or a small number of shares of common stock and to acquire a number of shares of common stock having an aggregate fair market value equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of all shares to which the option relates over (b) the aggregate exercise price under the option.

Special Provisions for Incentive Stock Options

The maximum aggregate fair market value of the shares of common stock (determined when the Incentive Stock Option is granted) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by an employee in any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. In addition, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an employee owning directly or indirectly stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, unless the exercise price is set at not less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option on the date of the grant and such Incentive Stock Option expires not later than five years from the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan is assignable or transferable, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Except in the event of death or disability, any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan is exercisable only during the lifetime of an optionee, and is exercisable only by such optionee. Awards of Non-Qualified Stock Options are not subject to these special limitations.

Exercisability and Expiration of Options

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the agreement evidencing the grant of options, all options granted under the Plan shall vest at the rate of one-fifth of the initial award per year beginning on January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the options were granted. The expiration date of an option is also determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event will an option be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant of the option.

All unexercised options of our officers and key employees terminate three months following the date on which the officer’s or key employee’s employment with us terminates, other than by reason of disability or death. An exercisable option held by an officer or key employee who dies or who ceases to be employed by us because of disability may be exercised by the officer or key employee or his representative within one year after the officer or key employee dies or becomes disabled (but not later than the scheduled option termination date).

All unexercised options of directors of and important consultants and advisors to us terminate three months following the date on which (but not later than the scheduled option termination date) the individual ceases for any reason to be a director of or important consultant or advisor to us, whether by death, disability, resignation, removal, failure to be reappointed, reelected or otherwise, or the expiration of any consulting agreement, and regardless of whether the failure to continue as a director or consultant or advisor was for cause or without cause or otherwise.

Vesting of Awards of Restricted Stock

Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the agreement evidencing the award of restricted stock, all restricted stock awarded under the Plan shall have a restricted period of five years and such restrictions shall lapse at a rate of one-fifth of the initial award per year beginning on January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the restricted stock was granted. Under the terms of the Plan, the Committee may also establish an additional time period during which the participant must hold the vested shares prior to resale. During the restricted period, if any, the participant shall have the right to vote the shares subject to the award.



173





All unvested awards of officers, directors and key employees of and important consultants and advisors to us terminate immediately upon termination of the officer’s or key employee’s employment or the director’s directorship or the consultant’s consultancy with or the advisor’s services to us, other than by reason of disability or death. If the officer or key employee participant ceases to be employed by or the director ceases to be a director of or the consultant ceases to be a consultant of or the advisor ceases to be an advisor of us because of death or disability, any unvested awards will immediately vest. Additionally, unless the Committee shall otherwise provide, if the officer’s or key employee’s employment or the director’s directorship or the consultant’s consultancy with or the advisor’s service to us is involuntarily terminated for any reason, except for cause, during an 18 month period after a change in control of us, the shares of common stock subject to the participant’s award will fully vest and no longer be subject to the restrictions under the Plan. A change in control includes a change within a 12 month period in holders of more than 50% of our outstanding voting stock or any other events deemed to be a change in control by the Committee.

The Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the restrictions shall lapse with respect to restricted shares, or to remove any or all of such restrictions, whenever it may determine such action is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws or other changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the restricted period.

Expiration of the Amended and Restated Plan

Unless terminated earlier by the board of directors, the Plan will remain in effect until all awards granted under the Plan have been satisfied by the issuance of shares provided that no new options or restricted stock awards may be granted under such Plan more than ten years from the date the Plan was adopted by the board of directors.

Adjustments

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan and the number and kind of shares subject to options and the exercise price of such shares shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

Transferability

Except as otherwise provided in Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder or any successor provision, no Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Except as otherwise provided by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Plan provides that the Committee at the time of grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may provide that such stock option is transferable to any “family member” of the optionee by gift or qualified domestic relations order. For purposes of this section, a family member includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) controls the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons or the grantee own more than 50% of the voting interests.

During the restricted period, no award of restricted stock nor any right of interest of a participant in such award set forth in the restricted stock agreement evidencing any award under the Plan may be assigned, encumbered or transferred except, in the event of death, by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Amendments

The board of directors may amend or supplement the Plan, including the forms of option or restricted stock agreement, in any way, or suspend or terminate the Plan, effective as of such date, which date may be either before or after the taking of such action, as may be specified by the board of directors; provided, however, that such action shall not affect options or restricted stock granted under the Plan prior to the actual date on which such action occurred. If an amendment of or supplement to the Plan is required by the Code or the regulations thereunder to be



174





approved by our stockholders in order to permit the granting of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the amended or supplemented Plan, such amendment or supplement shall also be approved by our stockholders in such manner as is prescribed by the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the board of directors voluntarily submits a proposed amendment, supplement, suspension or termination for stockholder approval, such submission shall not require any future amendments, supplements, suspensions or terminations (whether or not relating to the same provision or subject matter) to be similarly submitted for stockholder approval.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Amended and Restated Plan

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATION IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED PLAN AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE CODE, AND THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED PURSUANT THERETO. THE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION INCLUDE CURRENT TAX LAW ONLY AND DO NOT REFLECT ANY PROPOSALS TO REVISE CURRENT TAX LAW.

Incentive Stock Options. Generally, under the Code, an optionee will not realize taxable income by reason of the grant or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option (see, however, discussion of alternative minimum tax below) granted pursuant to the Plan. If an optionee exercises an Incentive Stock Option and does not dispose of the shares until the later of: (i) two years from the date the option was granted; and (ii) one year from the date of exercise, the entire gain, if any, realized upon disposition of such shares will be taxable to the optionee as long-term capital gain, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If an optionee disposes of the shares within the period of two years from the date of grant or one year from the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), the optionee generally will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition and we will receive a corresponding deduction, in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, realized on the disposition and (b) the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was exercised over (2) the exercise price. Any additional gain realized on the disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain and any loss will be long-term or short-term capital loss. The optionee will be considered to have disposed of a share if he sells, exchanges, makes a gift of or transfers legal title to the share (except transfers, among others, by pledge, on death or to a spouse). If the disposition is by sale or exchange, the optionee’s tax basis will equal the amount paid for the share plus any ordinary income realized as a result of the disqualifying disposition.

The exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. The amount by which the fair market value of the shares purchased at the time of the exercise exceeds the option exercise price is an adjustment for purposes of computing the so-called alternative minimum tax. In the event of a disqualifying disposition of the shares in the same taxable year as exercise of the Incentive Stock Option, no adjustment is then required for purposes of the alternative minimum tax, but regular income tax, as described above, may result from such disqualifying disposition.

An optionee who surrenders shares as payment of the exercise price of his Incentive Stock Option generally will not recognize gain or loss on his surrender of such shares. The surrender of shares previously acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option in payment of the exercise price of another Incentive Stock Option, is, however, a “disposition” of such stock. If the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements described above have not been satisfied with respect to such stock, such disposition will be a disqualifying disposition that may cause the optionee to recognize ordinary income as discussed above.

Under the Code, all of the shares received by an optionee upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by surrendering shares will be subject to the Incentive Stock Option holding period requirements. Of those shares, a number of shares (the “Exchange Shares”) equal to the number of shares surrendered by the optionee will have the same tax basis for capital gains purposes (increased by any ordinary income recognized as a result of a disqualifying disposition of the surrendered shares if they were Incentive Stock Option shares) and the same capital gains holding period as the shares surrendered. For purposes of determining ordinary income upon a subsequent disqualifying disposition of the Exchange Shares, the amount paid for such shares will be deemed to be the fair market value of the shares surrendered. The balance of the shares received by the optionee will have a tax basis (and a deemed purchase price) of zero and a capital gains holding period beginning on the date of exercise. The Incentive Stock Option holding period for all shares will be the same as if the option had been exercised for cash.



175





Non-Qualified Stock Options. Generally, there will be no federal income tax consequences to either the optionee or us on the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options pursuant to the Plan. On the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the optionee has taxable ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the exercise date over the exercise price of the shares. We will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction (subject to the limitations contained in Section 162(m) of the Code) in an amount equal to such excess, provided that we comply with applicable reporting rules.

Upon the sale of stock acquired by exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, optionees will realize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss depending upon their holding period for such stock. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains for the year plus $3,000 for individuals.

An optionee who surrenders shares in payment of the exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option will not recognize gain or loss with respect to the shares so delivered unless such shares were acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and the delivery of such shares is a disqualifying disposition. See “– Incentive Stock Options.” The optionee will recognize ordinary income on the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option as described above. Of the shares received in such an exchange, that number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered have the same tax basis and capital gains holding period as the shares surrendered. The balance of shares received will have a tax basis equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise and the capital gains holding period will begin on the date of exercise.

In the event of a permitted transfer by gift of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the transferor will remain taxable on the ordinary income realized as and when such Non-Qualified Stock Option is exercised by the transferee. All other tax consequences described above will be applicable to the transferee of the Non-Qualified Stock Option. A permitted transfer by gift of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may result in federal transfer taxes (gift tax) to the transferor at such time as the option is transferred, as well as such later time or times as the Non-Qualified Stock Option vests, if not fully vested on the date of the initial transfer.

Restricted Stock Awards. The grant of restricted shares will not, by itself, result in the recognition of taxable income to the participant nor entitle us to a deduction at the time of such grant.

In the case of participants who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, which provides that any profit realized by an officer, director or 10% beneficial owner of common stock, referred to as a Section 16 insider, from any purchase and sale or sale and purchase of stock within any period of six months is recoverable by us, Section 83 of the Code may postpone the recognition of income.

Holders of restricted shares will recognize ordinary income on the date that the restricted shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on that date. A holder of restricted shares, including a Section 16 insider, may generally elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize ordinary income in the amount of the fair market value of the restricted shares on the date of the grant of the restricted shares. The election under Section 83(b) must be made by the participant holding restricted shares within 30 days of the grant of the restricted shares. Provided that we meet our federal reporting obligations with respect to the restricted shares, and subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code, we will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder. Holders of restricted shares will also recognize ordinary income equal to any dividend or dividend-equivalent payments when such payments are received. If the holder of the restricted shares makes a Section 83(b) election and subsequently forfeits the restricted shares, the holder will not be entitled to a deduction for the amount previously included as income.

Limitation of Our Deduction. Section 162(m) of the Code will generally limit our federal income tax deduction for compensation paid in any year to our Chief Executive Officer and our four highest paid executive officers to $1,000,000, to the extent that such excess compensation is not “performance based.”  Under Treasury regulations, a stock option will, in general, qualify as “performance based” compensation if it: (i) has an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant; (ii) is granted under a plan that limits the number of shares for which options may be granted to an employee during a specified period, which plan is approved by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon; and (iii) is granted and administered by a compensation committee consisting solely of at least two outside directors (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code). If a stock option to an executive referred to above is not “performance based,” the amount that would otherwise be deductible by us in respect of such stock option will be disallowed to the extent that the executive’s aggregate non-performance based compensation paid in the relevant year exceeds $1,000,000. For purposes of



176





Section 162(m) of the Code, compensation in the form of restricted stock awards issued under the Incentive Plan is not considered “performance based” compensation.

THE FEDERAL TAX DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING ANY PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE FEDERAL TAX DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN WAS WRITTEN TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF SEC REGULATIONS. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE FROM THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION OF OUR OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 4.



177





PROPOSAL 5 — ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING TO A LATER DATE OR DATES, IF
NECESSARY, TO PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT
SUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO
APPROVE PROPOSAL 1, 2, 3, OR 4

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is necessary to approve this Proposal 5.

Reasons to Adjourn the Meeting

A majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date must be present, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting in order for there to be a quorum and for the special meeting to be called to order. Assuming a quorum is present, Proposals 2 and 4 will be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on each proposal. Proposals 1 and 3, however, require the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. If there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve Proposals 1 and 3, neither proposal can be approved at the special meeting. If Proposal 1 is not approved at the special meeting, we cannot engage in the acquisition transaction. Because our board of directors believes that it is in our and our stockholders’ best interest to engage in the acquisition transaction, our board of directors believes it is in our and our stockholders’ best interest to adjourn the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve Proposals 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Delaware law, stockholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the adjournment of the special meeting.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 5

If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal 5 and we do not have sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve Proposals 1, 2, 3, or 4, we and our stockholders will not benefit from the effects of approval of each of Proposal 1, 2, 3, or 4. In addition, if we do not have sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve Proposal 1, we will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 5.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF BEACH BANK SHAREHOLDERS

This proxy statement and prospectus is being mailed to Beach Bank’s shareholders of record on or about October [__], 2006, together with the notice of the special meeting of shareholders and a proxy solicited by the Beach Bank board of directors for use at the special meeting and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.

Meeting Date, Time, Place and Record Date

The special meeting of shareholders will be held at 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140 at [__] local time, on [__], 2006. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 18, 2006 will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting. As of the record date, there were [6,039,422.33] shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, with each such share entitled to one vote.

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting of Shareholders

At the special meeting of shareholders, Beach Bank’s shareholders are being asked to vote on: (i) the sale of substantially all of its assets to, and the assumption of substantially all of its liabilities by, Sun American Bank, a Florida commercial banking association and subsidiary of Sun American Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the acquisition agreement, and approval of the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (ii) the acceleration of the vesting and repricing of Jose Valdes-Fauli’s options and acquisition transaction consideration to be paid to Mr. Valdes-Fauli; and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposals. Each copy of this proxy statement and prospectus mailed to Beach Bank’s shareholders is accompanied by a proxy card for use at the special meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock as of October 18, 2006 is required to approve the proposal to sell substantially all of Beach Bank’s assets to, and the assumption of substantially all of Beach Bank’s liabilities by, Sun American Bank, pursuant to the acquisition agreement and to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting of shareholders at which a quorum is present is required to approve the proposals to: (i) accelerate the vesting and reprice the options of Jose Valdes-Fauli and the acquisition transaction consideration to be paid to Mr. Valdes-Fauli; and (ii) adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the foregoing proposal.

On the record date, there were approximately [6,039,422.33] shares of Beach Bank’s common stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote at the special meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least [3,019,711.33] shares of Beach Bank common stock is necessary in order for there to be a quorum at the special meeting. A quorum must be present in order for the special meeting to be called to order.

Voting of Proxies

Shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies received at or prior to the special meeting of shareholders will be voted at the special meeting in the manner specified by the holders of such shares. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions will be voted in favor of each proposal. No proxy with instructions to vote against Proposal 1 will be voted in favor of any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.

Beach Bank’s board of directors urges you to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

If any other matters are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named in the proxy card and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment, unless the proxy indicates otherwise. The board of directors does not know of any other matters other than the proposals set forth above that may be brought before the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.



179





Revocability of Proxies

You may change your vote at any time before your proxy card is voted at the special meeting of shareholders. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written, dated notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete, date and submit a new proxy card or later dated proxy card. If you choose either of these two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card or later-dated proxy card to Beach Bank’s corporate office as indicated on the special meeting notice for delivery by [__], 2006. Third, you can attend the special meeting of shareholders and vote your shares in person. Your attendance alone will not revoke your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

Beach Bank will pay all of the costs of soliciting proxies in connection with the special meeting of shareholders, but Sun American Bancorp will pay all of the costs of printing the registration statement and this proxy statement and prospectus. Solicitation of proxies may be made in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile, or other form of communication by Beach Bank directors, officers, and employees who will not be specially compensated for such solicitation. Nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians will be requested to forward solicitation materials to beneficial owners and to secure their voting instructions, if necessary, and will be reimbursed for the expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners.

No person is authorized to give any information or to make any representation not contained in this proxy statement and prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been authorized by Beach Bank or any other person. The delivery of this proxy statement and prospectus does not, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in Beach Bank’s or Sun American Bancorp’s business or affairs since the date of the proxy statement and prospectus.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

Beach Bank’s board of directors has unanimously approved the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, believes that the acquisition transaction is in Beach Bank’s and its shareholders’ best interests, and recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal.

In the course of reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, Beach Bank’s board of directors, among other things, consulted with its legal advisors, Holland and Knight LLP, regarding the legal terms of the acquisition agreement. For a discussion of the factors considered by Beach Bank’s board of directors in reaching its conclusion, see “Background of and Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction — Beach Bank’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction.”

Beach Bank’s shareholders should note that its directors and officers have certain interests in, and may derive benefits as a result of, the acquisition transaction that are in addition to their interests as stockholders of Beach Bank. See “Terms of the Acquisition Transaction — Interests of Employees and Directors of Beach Bank in the Acquisition Transaction.”

PROPOSAL 1 — SALE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF BEACH BANK’S ASSETS TO, AND
ASSUMPTION OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF BEACH BANK’S LIABILITIES BY, SUN AMERICAN
BANK, PURSUANT TO THE ACQUISITION AGREEMENT AND TO APPROVE THE ACQUISITION
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock as of October 18, 2006 is required to approve this Proposal 1.

Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction

Beach Bank’s board of directors believes that the acquisition transaction is fair to, and in the best interest of, Beach Bank and its shareholders. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement, Beach Bank’s board of directors consulted with its management, as well as with its financial and legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the limitations of the bank’s current market and the potential for enhancement of shareholder value as well as those reasons listed in “Background of and Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction – Beach Bank’s Reasons for the Acquisition Transaction” beginning on page 27.

The discussion of the factors considered by Beach Bank’s board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes material factors considered by Beach Bank’s board of directors. In reaching its decision to approve the acquisition agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, Beach Bank’s board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. Beach Bank’s board of directors considered all these factors as a whole and considered them to be overall favorable to, and to support, a determination that the acquisition agreement is in the best interests of Beach Bank and its shareholders.

Plan of Reorganization and Plan of Liquidation

If the Beach Bank shareholders approve the acquisition transaction, they also will be approving the Plan of Reorganization, attached hereto as Appendix F, which is incorporated by reference herein. The acquisition transaction is structured as a “C-Reorganization” under the Code and would result in the shareholders being able to exchange their shares in Beach Bank for shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock on a tax-free basis and thereby defer the capital gains until the “realization event,” such as the sale of the Sun American Bancorp common stock. Therefore, in order to comply with the requirements for a C-Reorganization and Florida law, it is necessary that the Beach Bank shareholders approve and adopt the Plan of Reorganization.

The Plan of Reorganization provides that, at closing of the acquisition transaction, Beach Bank will sell to Sun American Bank all of the acquired assets, as defined in the acquisition agreement, other than the excluded assets, as defined in the acquisition agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the acquisition agreement. In full and complete payment for the acquired assets, Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank will assume the assumed obligations, as defined in the acquisition agreement, and issue to Beach Bank certificates representing an amount of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock equal to the acquisition transaction consideration divided by $5.00, which is the per share value, all as more particularly described in the acquisition agreement.

Immediately after the closing of the acquisition transaction, Beach Bank will distribute 25% of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock received, as well as its other remaining assets and regulatory claims, if any, to its shareholders by distributing such shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock, assets and regulatory claims, if any, to a liquidating trust established for the benefit of the shareholders; provided, however, that the trustee must first sell or make other arrangements to dispose of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock to pay consulting fees, legal fees, accounting fees and escrow fees prior to distributing such shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock. The remaining 75% of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock received will be held in an escrow fund pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, and, upon release from the escrow fund, will be distributed to the liquidating trust.

Sun American Bancorp, Sun American Bank and Beach Bank agreed that upon the closing of the acquisition transaction, Beach Bank will not engage in any new business and will promptly liquidate and dissolve as a corporation. Therefore, in order to accomplish the complete voluntary liquidation of Beach Bank in accordance with Section 336 of the Code, the shareholders will also be approving and adopting a plan of complete liquidation,



181





referred to as the Plan of Liquidation in this proxy statement and prospectus, attached hereto as Appendix G, which is incorporated herein by reference. The board of directors will then cause the proper officers of Beach Bank to wind up the business affairs of Beach Bank, to execute the necessary documents to effectuate the ending up of the business of Beach Bank, and to do all other things necessary or appropriate to dissolve Beach Bank.

Liquidating Trust and Liquidation Trust Agreement

If the Beach Bank shareholders approve the acquisition transaction, they also will be approving the Liquidating Trust Agreement, attached hereto as Appendix H, which is incorporated by reference herein. In order to obtain the benefits of a C-Reorganization and to make adequate provisions for claims made, including potential regulatory claims against Beach Bank or its directors, the creation of a liquidating trust pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement must be approved and adopted by the shareholders. The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides that Beach Bank will transfer to the trustee of the liquidating trust the trust assets in trust for the account and benefit of the shareholders, as listed in the schedule attached therein, in accordance with their respective beneficial interests, to be held by the trustee for the benefit of the beneficiaries, and for the purposes of making distributions to the beneficiaries pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, pursuing claims on behalf of Beach Bank, the liquidating trust and/or its beneficiaries, defending claims against Beach Bank, the liquidating trust and/or Beach Bank’s directors, and properly disposing of the trust assets.

The liquidating trust will be established pursuant to the Liquidating Trust Agreement for the purpose of liquidating the assets transferred to the liquidating trust, holding funds to provide for regulatory claims of Beach Bank, and to act as successor-in-interest of Beach Bank in connection with the assertion of claims, defenses, rights and obligations relating to Beach Bank or its directors, but not for the purpose of continuing or engaging in the conduct of a trade or business (except to the extent that the hiring of employees or other activities are necessary to finalize the existing business of Beach Bank and properly wind down such business).

As of the effective date of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the beneficiaries are deemed to have: (i) received the trust assets from Beach Bank in cancellation of their shares of Beach Bank common stock; and (ii) to have immediately assigned the trust assets to the trustee, to be held in trust by the trustee. Each shareholder must, as soon as practicable, surrender his/her stock certificate(s) to Beach Bank for cancellation. In exchange for the stock certificates surrendered by each shareholder, upon receipt of the trust assets, the trustee may then issue and deliver to each beneficiary a certificate evidencing the holder’s interest in the trust assets. Please do not send certificates of Beach Bank common stock to Beach Bank with your proxy. Such certificates will not be accepted until the closing of the acquisition transaction.

All options shall be exercised and converted into additional shares of Beach Bank after the closing of the acquisition transaction and surrender of the bank charter, but prior to the liquidation under the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Accordingly, such shares of Beach Bank common stock issued in connection with the exercise of options will be entitled to be exchanged for a beneficial interest under the Liquidating Trust Agreement to the same extent as the other shares of Beach Bank. In the event that Beach Bank surrenders its charter (prior to, or at, liquidation), the holders of options to purchase Beach Bank’s common stock may exercise their options through a cashless exercise, to the extent permitted by law.

The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides a broad indemnification provision that the liquidating trust and each beneficiary will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and release each covered person, as defined in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, from and against all claims that may accrue to, or be incurred by any, covered person, or in which any covered person may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any covered person may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the business and affairs of, or activities undertaken in connection with, Beach Bank or the liquidating trust (including, but not limited to, claims-arising out of the acquisition transaction or regulatory claims), or otherwise relating to or arising out of the liquidating trust or the acquisition agreement (and in the case of the trustee or shareholders’ representative or their successors, whether such claims are brought while they are serving in such capacities or after termination of their duties as a trustee or shareholders’ representative).

In addition, the liquidating trust and each beneficiary (currently or in the future) grants the trustee the authority to indemnify or cause the liquidating trust to indemnify, hold harmless and release any former officer, in each case pursuant to a separate agreement, which indemnification may be exercised in the trustee’s sole discretion.



182





Acquisition Expenses, Fees and Costs Associated with the Acquisition Transaction and Actions Taken by the Trustee

If the Beach Bank shareholders approve the acquisition transaction, they also will be approving the payment of acquisition expenses, fees and costs associated with the acquisition transaction and actions taken by the trustee of the liquidating trust. The liquidating trust is fully responsible for the payment of all of the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition transaction, including any transactions resulting therefrom. The trustee must pay from the trust assets all claims, expenses, charges, debts, liabilities and obligations of the liquidating trust and the shareholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to any distribution to the beneficiaries, the liquidating trust must, at the closing of the acquisition transaction, or as soon as practical thereafter, pay the following, debts, liabilities and obligations:

·

Legal fees, arbitrator fees, consulting fees, accounting fees, fees payable to third parties and any and all other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition transaction, or as contemplated by the acquisition agreement and Plan of Reorganization, or with any claims or actions resulting from the transactions contemplated in the acquisition agreement, including the fees payable to Beach Bank’s counsel and independent accountants;

·

Severance payments and consulting fees (as set forth in Schedule D of the Liquidating Trust Agreement), and other payments to key or non-key employees identified by management of Beach Bank and any other similar payments deemed advisable by the trustee;

·

Premium payments for the purchase of “tail” or other insurance policies with respect to directors’, officers’ and fiduciaries’ liability insurance covering matters existing or occurring at or prior to the effective date of the liquidation of Beach Bank (including the transactions contemplated by the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the acquisition agreement and the Plan of Reorganization) in an amount and scope at least as favorable as the coverage applicable to directors, officers and fiduciaries of Beach Bank under Beach Bank’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy;

·

Escrow fees payable to the escrow agent in connection with the acquisition agreement; and

·

Such other payments arising from the acquisition agreement, the Plan of Reorganization, the liquidation of Beach Bank or the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

In addition, with respect to the trust assets, the trustee must collect all trust assets, pay any claims and obligations transferred to him as part of the trust assets or incurred with respect thereto (provided that payment of all or any portion of such claims and obligations may be withheld in the trustee’s sole discretion) and make certain distributions. After payment of the fees and expenses, at such times as may be determined by the trustee, the trustee may distribute to the beneficiaries in proportion to their respective beneficial interests, such cash or other property comprising any proceeds from the sale of assets or income from investments, less an amount of proceeds or income deemed reasonable in the trustee’s discretion to be retained to meet claims, contingent liabilities and expenses. If the trustee determines that all claims, debts, liabilities, expenses and obligations of the trust have been paid or discharged, or if the existence of the liquidating trust terminates, the trustee must distribute the trust assets to the beneficiaries in proportion to their beneficial interests.

Appointment of Trustee

If the Beach Bank shareholders approve the acquisition transaction, they also will be approving the appointment of Michael Kosnitzky, Chairman of the board of directors of Beach Bank, as the trustee of the liquidating trust and George Scholl, a director of Beach Bank, as successor trustee, in order to augment the powers of the shareholders’ representative under the acquisition agreement. In the event that the successor trustee is unable or unwilling to serve as successor trustee, another successor trustee must be selected by the beneficiaries holding a majority of the beneficial interests in the trust. For purposes of the acquisition transaction, a successor trustee will be deemed a “trustee” and such successor trustee will have all of the powers granted to the original trustee.

As part of his duties, the trustee is only permitted to engage in activities that are reasonably necessary to, and consistent with, accomplishing the purposes of realizing and distributing assets transferred to the liquidating trust and of paying liabilities and expenses in accordance with the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The trustee powers include, but are not limited to, the following; provided, however, that enumeration of the following powers will not



183





be considered in any way to limit or control the power of the trustee to act in such a manner as the trustee may deem necessary or appropriate to conserve and protect the trust assets and to carry out the purposes of the liquidating trust:

·

To hold legal title to the trust assets;

·

To receive, hold, maintain, grant, sell, exchange, convey, release, assign, or otherwise transfer legal title to any of the trust assets, including the sale of all or a portion of any stock in any public company that is a trust asset;

·

To retain and set aside funds out of the trust assets as the trustee deems necessary or appropriate to pay and discharge, or provide through insurance or otherwise for the payment and discharge of: (i) the costs, expenses, and liabilities referred to in the liquidating trust, and (ii) the expenses of administering the trust assets;

·

To contract for and to borrow money, hedge or otherwise establish an offsetting derivative position, and pledge all or a portion of the trust assets as collateral therefor, in such amounts as the trustee deems advisable for any trust purpose (including, without limitation, payment of expenses, claims or any obligations of the liquidating trust or Beach Bank resulting from the acquisition agreement or otherwise; and protecting or conserving any portion of the trust assets) and, in connection therewith, to draw, make, accept, endorse, execute, issue and deliver promissory notes, drafts and other negotiable or transferable instruments and evidence of indebtedness and all renewals or extensions of the same; provided that no person other than the liquidating trust will have any liability with respect to any such borrowing;

·

To retain any portion of the trust assets (including the right to assert a right of offset claim against any distribution and withhold distributions) or accelerate payment to any beneficiary corresponding to the beneficial interest in the liquidating trust of any beneficiary to the extent that the trustee reasonably believes that the liquidating trust or Beach Bank may have a claim against such beneficiary until such time as potential claims against such beneficiary have been resolved;

·

To allow the trustee to retain, pay and otherwise take any and all action necessary or advisable for the maintenance, preservation, cataloging and complying with any legal requirements for the retention of bank records, including, but not limited to, the ability to retain personnel or services to safeguard and organize such records, to instruct the shareholders’ representative to take any such action in connection with the records transferred to Sun American Bancorp and Sun American Bank pursuant to the acquisition agreement and to pay for the costs and expenses associated with these actions utilizing the trust assets;

·

To vote shares that are included in the trust assets, including, but not limited to, the right to exercise, or give proxies to exercise, voting and other rights as to voting securities included in the trust assets from time to time, and to enter into or oppose, alone or with others, buy-sell, stock restriction or stock redemption agreements, voting trusts, mergers, consolidations, foreclosures, liquidations, reorganizations or other changes in the financial structure of any corporation in which the liquidating trust holds any, equity interest; provided, however, that in the case of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock that are included in the trust assets, and only to the extent required in order to avoid characterization as a bank holding company, or to avoid a finding that the trustee controls Sun American Bancorp, the trustee must provide notice to the beneficiaries and must vote such shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock in accordance with the decision of the beneficiaries who collectively hold a majority in interest of the beneficial interests of the liquidating trust;

·

To ask, demand, and receive the principal sum, and the interest due, or to become due, upon any promissory note constituting part of the trust assets, and upon receipt of such principal sum or of the interest thereon, to execute and deliver a receipt therefor and, to surrender the appropriate promissory note;

·

To hold trust assets in the name of a nominee or in any other way without disclosing the trust relationship;

·

To assign or negotiate any promissory notes as permitted by applicable law;



184





·

To execute and deliver, upon proper payment, partial and complete releases of any third-party obligations transferred to the trustee;

·

Upon any breach of any of the terms of any trust assets, to institute, prosecute, discontinue, and compromise any action or proceeding that the trustee may deem proper;

·

To endorse, deposit, and collect any and all notes, checks, bills of exchange, accounts receivable, trade acceptances, and other claims and instruments for the payment of money, that the trustee may receive by virtue of any of the powers conferred in the Liquidating Trust Agreement;

·

To discount any trust assets or otherwise dispose of same if, in the opinion of the trustee, it is deemed necessary for carrying out the purposes of the liquidating trust;

·

To compromise, adjust, arbitrate, sue, defend, abandon or otherwise deal with and settle all claims and potential claims (including the current potential claim brought by the former President of Beach Bank, Hans Mueller), including those arising under the acquisition agreement and/or the Plan of Reorganization and any and all agreements related thereto, or relating to the prior operations of Beach Bank, or which are made against or in favor of the liquidating trust, as the trustee deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the right to withhold or accelerate distributions with respect to the trust assets corresponding to a beneficial interest in the liquidating trust of a beneficiary in connection with such claims, or potential claims. In order to settle any claim or potential claim, the trustee may agree to pay any beneficiary his shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock in advance of the other beneficiaries and not subject all or any portion of such beneficiary’s shares to the liquidating trust, escrow fund or Escrow Agreement;

·

To invest amounts received by him as trustee, pending distribution, but such investment powers will be limited to powers to invest in demand and time deposits in banks or savings institutions or in temporary investments, such as short-term certificates of deposit or Treasury bills;

·

To take any steps necessary to establish clear title to any trust assets;

·

To employ legal counsel, accountants, advisors, custodians and other agents in connection with the administration of and termination of the liquidating trust, to delegate to them any powers of the trustee, and to pay out of the trust assets to such legal counsel, accountants, advisors, custodians and other agents reasonable compensation for the services rendered;

·

To file any and all tax returns required by any governmental authority as necessary or desirable: (i) to maintain the status of the trust as a liquidating trust under the Code and/or Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d), or (ii) to pay any taxes properly payable by the liquidating trust out of the trust property;

·

To pay fines and/or penalties, settle claims and enter into settlement agreements relating to Beach Bank or any director, regulatory authorities or third parties (including, but not limited to, any Department of Justice or other law enforcement agency civil or criminal fines or penalties); and

·

Generally, to do everything necessary or advisable in order to carry out the purpose of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, including payment of all expenses relating thereto out of the trust assets.

In addition, the trustee will be bound by the following conditions that will apply to the trustee and his relationship with the liquidating trust, trust assets, and the beneficiaries:

·

an affiliate of the trustee may be retained by the liquidating trust and may act as a consultant, law firm or other services provider to or with respect to the liquidating trust, provided in each case that any fees or other compensation payable to such affiliate are reasonably consistent with customary fees received by third parties for similar services;

·

the liquidating trust may enter into contracts and transactions with any affiliate of the trustee not otherwise specifically permitted by the liquidating trust, provided that the terms of any such contract or transaction are commercially reasonable and not less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length negotiations with unrelated third parties;



185





·

the trustee must devote so much of his time to the affairs of the liquidating trust as the conduct of its business reasonably requires, and the trustee will not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the liquidating trust not expressly set forth in the liquidating trust;

·

the trustee and his affiliates may engage in activities that are expressly authorized by or described in the liquidating trust and will not, in any case or in the aggregate, be deemed a breach of the liquidating trust, the trustee’s fiduciary obligations or any duty owed by any such person to the liquidating trust or to any beneficiary; and

·

on any issue involving conflicts of interest not provided for elsewhere in the liquidating trust, the trustee will be guided by his good faith judgment as to the best interests of the liquidating trust and the beneficiaries and will take such actions as are determined by the trustee to be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate any such conflict of interest (including taking those actions specified in the Liquidating Trust Agreement).

Effects of Approval of Proposal 1

If the shareholders approve this Proposal 1 at the special meeting of shareholders, Beach Bank will be able to engage in the acquisition transaction and the transactions contemplated in the acquisition agreement, together with the plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation and liquidating trust agreement, all as described above.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under Florida law, each shareholder of Beach Bank entitled to vote on the acquisition transaction who complies with the procedures set forth in Section 658.44, Florida Statutes, relating to the rights of dissenting shareholders, referred to as the dissent provisions in this proxy statement and prospectus, is entitled to receive in cash the value of his or her shares of Beach Bank common stock. A Beach Bank shareholder must comply strictly with the procedures set forth in the dissent provisions. Failure to follow any such procedures will result in a termination or waiver of his or her dissenters’ rights.

To perfect dissenters’ rights, a holder of Beach Bank common stock must vote against approval of the acquisition agreement or provide written notice to Beach Bank at or prior to the meeting of the shareholders or on or prior to the date specified for action by the shareholders without a meeting indicating that such shareholder dissents from the acquisition agreement. Such written notification to be delivered either in person or by mail (certified mail, return receipt requested, being the recommended form of transmittal) to Beach Bank, 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140, Attention: Corporate Secretary. All such communications should be signed by or on behalf of the dissenting Beach Bank shareholder in the form in which his or her shares are registered on the books of Beach Bank. If a shareholder has not provided written notice of dissent at or prior to the meeting or on or prior to the date specified for action by the shareholders without a meeting and such shareholder does not vote against the acquisition transaction, the shareholder will be deemed to have waived his or her dissenters’ rights. Note that a failure to return a proxy card and an abstention from voting at the meeting will not be deemed to be a vote against the acquisition transaction for purposes of determining a shareholder’s dissenters’ rights.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the provisions of the Florida Statutes relating to statutory dissenters’ rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the dissent provisions, which are reproduced in full in Appendix B to this proxy statement and prospectus and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 1

If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal 1, Beach Bank will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 1.



186





PROPOSAL 2 — ACCELERATION OF THE VESTING AND REPRICING OF JOSE VALDES-FAULI’S
OPTIONS AND ACQUISITION TRANSACTION CONSIDERATION TO BE PAID TO
MR. VALDES-FAULI

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is necessary to approve this Proposal 2.

Reasons for the Acceleration of the Vesting and Repricing of the Options and the Acquisition Transaction Consideration

Jose Valdes-Fauli has been the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Beach Bank since October 2004. As of [October 18], 2006, Mr. Valdes-Fauli beneficially owns 213,333 shares of Beach Bank common stock, and owns options to purchase 26,667 shares of Beach Bank common stock that have not vested. Mr. Valdes-Fauli received director nonqualified compensatory stock options under Beach Bank’s existing stock option plan to purchase 40,000 shares of Beach Bank common stock. These options vest one-third each year commencing with the first anniversary of the December 23, 2004 date of grant. The options have an exercise price of $3.00 per share (subject to adjustments under the plan). The board of directors recommends that Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s non-vested stock options vest immediately upon the closing of the acquisition transaction and that the exercise price of all of Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s stock options be repriced to $2.00 per share; provided, however, that Mr. Valdes-Fauli remains employed with Beach Bank through the date of closing of the acquisition transaction and agrees to execute a general release and non-disparagement. Beach Bank’s board of directors believes that it is in its and its shareholders best interest to have Mr. Valdes-Fauli continue in the employ of Beach Bank through the closing of the acquisition transaction.

As part of the acquisition transaction, 75% of the shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock received by Beach Bank will be held in the escrow fund, as required pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, and, upon release from the escrow fund, will be distributed to the liquidating trust. However, the board of directors recommends that Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s pro rata share of the acquisition transaction consideration, in the form of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock, be excluded from the escrow fund (i.e., not subject to the Escrow Agreement) and the liquidating trust; provided, however, that Mr. Valdes-Fauli remains employed with Beach Bank through the date of closing of the acquisition transaction.

In consideration for the repricing of the exercise price of Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s stock options and for the exclusion of Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s share of the acquisition transaction consideration from the escrow fund and Escrow Agreement, at the closing of the acquisition transaction, Mr. Valdes-Fauli will execute a full general release and non-disparagement agreement with Beach Bank. If and only if Mr. Valdes-Fauli remains an employee of Beach Bank up to and including the closing date of the acquisition transaction, upon execution of the general release and non-disparagement agreement, Mr. Valdes-Fauli will receive all of his pro rata share of the acquisition transaction consideration, in the form of shares of Sun American Bancorp common stock.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, shareholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the acceleration of the vesting and repricing of Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s options or the acquisition transaction consideration to be paid to Mr. Valdes-Fauli.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 2

If Beach Bank’s shareholders do not approve this Proposal 2, Beach Bank and its shareholders may not benefit from Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s leadership through the closing of the acquisition transaction.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3 — ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING TO A LATER DATE OR DATES, IF
NECESSARY, TO PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT
SUFFICIENT VOTES AT THE TIME OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO APPROVE PROPOSAL 1 OR 2

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is necessary to approve this Proposal 3.

Reasons to Adjourn the Meeting

A majority of the shares of Beach Bank’s common stock outstanding on the record date must be present, in person or by proxy, at the special meeting in order for there to be a quorum and for the special meeting to be called to order. Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Beach Bank shares of common stock outstanding on the record date. If there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve Proposal 1, such proposal cannot be approved at the special meeting. If Proposal 1 is not approved at the special meeting, Beach Bank cannot engage in the acquisition transaction. Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting. If Proposal 2 is not approved at the special meeting, Jose Valdes-Fauli, Beach Bank’s President, may choose not to continue in the employ of Beach Bank through the closing of the acquisition transaction. Because Beach Bank’s board of directors believes that it is in its and its shareholders’ best interest to engage in the acquisition transaction and for Mr. Valdes-Fauli to continue in the employ of Beach Bank through the closing of the acquisition transaction, the Beach Bank board of directors believes it is in its and its shareholders’ best interest to adjourn the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve Proposal 1 or 2.

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, shareholders will not have any dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the adjournment of the special meeting.

Principal Effect of Non-Approval of Proposal 3

If Beach Bank’s shareholders do not approve this Proposal 3 and there are not sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve Proposal 1 or 2, Beach Bank and its shareholders will not benefit from the effects of the acquisition transaction and/or from Mr. Valdes-Fauli’s leadership through the closing of the acquisition transaction. In addition, if Beach Bank does not have sufficient votes at the special meeting to approve Proposal 1, Beach Bank will be unable to consummate the acquisition transaction.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 3.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) has identified five 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 the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation (see 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 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, 2005, (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.

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 values estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different fair value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.

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. 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. The Company adjusts its equity securities available for sale 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 through the income statement.

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

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary, Sun American Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is a bank holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) that owns 99.9% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, while the Bank is a Florida State Chartered Commercial Bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System whose deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank provides a full range of commercial banking and consumer banking services to businesses and individuals. The Bank is regulated by the Florida Department of Banking and Finance and the Federal Reserve Board.

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 income 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 SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant-date fair value and related service period estimates in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Statement No. 123.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards of $243,000. 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 the prior period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

At June 30, 2006, the Company had options granted under the Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan, and the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan. All options for the purchase of common stock of the Company expire 10 years from the date of grant. All options, with the exception of 315,000 options issued to key consultants at below fair market value, have an exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted. It is the policy of the Company to issue new shares for stock option exercises and restricted stock, rather than issue treasury shares. Options generally vests over five years; however, options granted to current directors prior to this year were amended to vest immediately on December 16, 2005.

The Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan permits the grant of stock options to purchase up to 1 million shares, of which 221,500 shares remain available for issuance. The Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan permits the grant of stock options to purchase up to 1 million shares, of which 31,760 shares remain available for issuance. The 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted shares for up to 2 million shares with 1 million shares allocated to incentive stock options. At June 30, 2006, 633,100 shares remain available for issuance under the 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan.

The dilution of 3,631,206 weighted average shares outstanding in 2006 (626,541 weighted average shares in 2005) was due to the additional shares of common stock to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants of the Company.

Stock options to purchase 1,897,300 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and stock options and stock warrants to purchase 9,546 and 400,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2005, because they were antidilutive.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun American Bancorp as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005 and 2004

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Sun American Bancorp and its subsidiary, Sun American Bank (the “Bank”), which 99.9% is owned by Sun American Bancorp, together referred to as “the Corporation.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Corporation provides financial services through its offices in Southeast Florida. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgages, 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.

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 under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions.

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 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 method that approximates the 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 losses.

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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results from prior 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.

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.

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

Stock Compensation: Compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table

On December 16, 2005, the Board of Directors of Sun American Bancorp approved the acceleration of the vesting of all currently unvested stock options awarded to existing Directors of the Company under its Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan and its Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option. As a result of this action, options to purchase approximately 1,034,280 shares of common stock became exercisable effective December 16, 2005, representing approximately 55% of the Company’s total current outstanding options. All other terms and conditions applicable to such options, including the exercise prices, remain unchanged.

The decision to accelerate vesting of these options, which the Company believes is in the best interest of its stockholders, was made primarily to reduce non-cash compensation expense that would have been recorded in its income statement in future periods upon the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Boards Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Adoption of SFAS 123R is required on January 1, 2006, and will require that compensation expense associated with stock options unvested at December 31, 2005 be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of income as they become vested. It is anticipated that the accelerated vesting of these options will eliminate pre-tax compensation expense recognition in future periods beginning January 1, 2006 of approximately $1.8 million, of which approximately $431,000 would have been incurred during the year ending December 31, 2006.

The pro forma effects are computed with option pricing models, using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

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.

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 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. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate component of equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

Share-Based Payment

FASB Statement No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires all public companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employment service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified in fiscal years beginning in 2006. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest after adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of approximately $200,000 in 2006.

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 of $1,951,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2005. These balances do not earn interest.

Common Share 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 share 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 a separate financial statement note. 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.

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. The unrealized loss on below investment grade corporate securities was not recognized into income because final maturity was scheduled for February 2006 and full principal was received. At year-end 2005 and 2004, 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.

The Corporation has recorded a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management believes is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance decreased $961,749 during the year ended December 31, 2005 and increased by $77,532 during the year ended December 31, 2004. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. No income tax benefits have been provided for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, because the results of operations do not provide sufficient evidence that the net operating losses available for carryforward will be utilized in the future.

NOTE 12 – STOCK WARRANTS (Continued)

Class G Warrants

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and other events of recapitalization. The Class G warrants will expire no later than May 2009. The holders of Class G warrants may satisfy their obligation to pay the aggregate Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company will issue to the holders the number of shares determined by the “cashless exercise” formula.

Other Warrants

An aggregate of 1,607,958 warrants have been issued to various underwriters for compensation for certain private and public offerings of the Company’s common stock. The exercise prices of these warrants range from $1.35 to $5.00 and have expiration dates between 2006 and 2010.

On November 1, 2005, the Company’s board of directors approved a reserve of class G common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock to be issued from time to time to the Company’s officers, directors, and consultants (the “Warrant Plan”), which may be below the market price of the common stock on the grant date. The Warrant Plan was approved by the stockholders at a special meeting held on December 16, 2005.

NOTE 13 – 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. The Corporation has agreed with Bank regulators to keep the Bank well capitalized.

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, 2005 and 2004, 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 14 – 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.

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. Fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates generally ranging from 3.55% to 9.50% and maturities ranging from one year to three years.

Employment Agreements: The Company has employment agreements with the Chairman and the President of the Bank. Under terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay a minimum base salary of $130,000 per year, to grant options, and to provide certain other benefits and compensation. The employment agreements 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 2003 agreements were automatically renewed and remain in effect.

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 19 – PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND ASSUMPTION OF SELECTED LIABILITIES OF GULF BANK IN 2004

In order to expand its banking presence in Miami Dade County, the Bank executed the Gulf Bank Asset Purchase Agreement that closed on February 17, 2004 for $3.7 million. This transaction caused the transfer of all of Gulf Bank’s loans, totaling $42 million, to the Bank along with certain contracts of Gulf Bank and the books and records of Gulf Bank relating to the transferred assets. In addition, the Bank received a cash payment of approximately $28 million and fixed assets valued at approximately $508,000. The Bank assumed all of the deposits totaling $67 million of Gulf Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances totaling $3 million and entered into an assignment and sublease agreements for the lease of the three Gulf Bank branches in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

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.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005


NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Beach Bank (the “Bank”) is a state-chartered commercial bank which provides a variety of financial products and services through its banking office in Miami Beach, Florida. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  (“FDIC”).

On October 5, 2004, the Bank consented to enter into an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) as proposed by the FDIC. The FDIC found during their examination of the Bank that the Bank had deficiencies in violation of statutory requirements in the areas of policies, procedures, Enhanced Due Diligence, Customer Identification Programs, Know Your Customer documentation, Currency Transaction Reporting, Suspicious Activity Reporting, and account monitoring. Such continuing violations may subject the Bank to further sanctions, including significant fines that could result in substantial dissipation of assets and earnings.

The Order required the Bank, among other things, to formulate a three year written strategic plan, prepare and submit to the FDIC a comprehensive budget and earnings forecast, to have and retain qualified management, to maintain a Tier I Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 7%, a Tier I Risk Based Capital Ratio of not less than 10% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 12%, to charge off certain classified assets, to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, to reduce classified assets and to adopt sound lending and collection policies. According to the Bank’s management, the requirements of the Order are the result of findings from a May 10, 2004 examination by the FDIC. Bank management feels that at December 31, 2005, the Bank has made significant progress in complying with the requirements of the Order. Any deviations from the requirements of the Order could have significant implications on the ongoing operations of the Bank.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following summarizes the more significant accounting and reporting policies of the Bank.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Hybrid Financial Instruments- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“FAS 155”). FAS 155 amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”), and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“FAS 140”). This Statement allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. It also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives; and, amends FAS 140 to eliminate prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement shall be effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Management believes this Statement will not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”, (“FAS 156”) which amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”. This Statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities, and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like accounting. It also clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or servicing liability and requires that those separately recognized assets or liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. FAS 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value method for subsequent measurement and also

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

permits a servicer that uses derivative financial instruments to offset risks on servicing to report both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing assets or liability by using a consistent measurement attribute- fair value. This statement shall be effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. Management believes this Statement will not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS 109”). The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management believes this Statement will not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At June 30, 2006, several U.S. government agency securities and several mortgage-backed securities had unrealized losses over twelve months of approximately $1,275,528. Such securities represent approximately 90% of the total investments in marketable equity securities. Although the issuers have shown declines in earnings as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unfunded commitments under lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of /the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank follows the same policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.



F-48



BEACH BANK

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005



NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary.

The following off-balance-sheet instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the balance of the irrevocable standby letter of credit was $100,000 and $125,000, respectively.

NOTE 6 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is limited in the amount of cash dividends that may be paid. The amount of cash dividends that may be paid is based on the Bank’s net earnings of the current year combined with the Bank’s retained earnings of the preceding two years, as defined by state banking regulations. However, for any dividend declaration, the Bank must consider additional factors such as the amount of current period net earnings, asset quality, capital adequacy and economic conditions. It is likely that these factors would further limit the amount of dividend which the Bank could declare. In addition, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit banks from paying dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005



NOTE 6 – REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaking, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank 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 practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2006, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of June 30, 2006, the most recent notification from Regulatory Authorities categorized the Bank as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Rules and Regulations. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage rations as set forth in the table. There were no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the table ($ in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Beach Bank

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Beach Bank (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Beach Bank as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, due to the results of a regulatory examination as of October 5, 2004, the Bank consented to enter into an Order to Cease and Desist as proposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005 and 2004


NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Beach Bank (the “Bank”) is a state-chartered commercial bank which provides a variety of financial products and services through its banking office in Miami Beach, Florida. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  (“FDIC”).

On October 5, 2004, the Bank consented to enter into an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) as proposed by the FDIC. The FDIC found during their examination of the Bank that the Bank had deficiencies in violation of statutory requirements in the areas of policies, procedures, Enhanced Due Diligence, Customer Identification Programs, Know Your Customer documentation, Currency Transaction Reporting, Suspicious Activity Reporting, and account monitoring. Such continuing violations may subject the Bank to further sanctions, including significant fines that could result in substantial dissipation of assets and earnings.

The Order required the Bank, among other things, to formulate a three year written strategic plan, prepare and submit to the FDIC a comprehensive budget and earnings forecast, to have and retain qualified management, to maintain a Tier I Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 7%, a Tier I Risk Based Capital Ratio of not less than 10% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of at least 12%, to charge off certain classified assets, to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, to reduce classified assets and to adopt sound lending and collection policies. According to the Bank’s management, the requirements of the Order are the result of findings from a May 10, 2004 examination by the FDIC. Bank management feels that at December 31, 2005, the Bank has made significant progress in complying with the requirements of the Order. Any deviations from the requirements of the Order could have significant implications on the ongoing operations of the Bank.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following summarizes the more significant accounting and reporting policies of the Bank.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks, all of which mature within ninety days.

The Bank is required to maintain cash reserves in the form of vault cash or in noninterest-earning accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank or other qualified banks. These reserve requirements at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $560,000 and $549,000, respectively.

Securities

The Bank classifies its securities as either held to maturity or available for sale. Held to maturity securities are those which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available for sale securities consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as held to maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, on available for sale securities, are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on securities available for sale and held to maturity are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

A decline in the market value of any available for sale or held to maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Bank considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end, and forecasted performance of the investee.

Premises and Equipment

Leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using both the straight-line method and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the related assets or the lease term, which ranges from 5 to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the applicable leases or their useful lives, which ever is shorter.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Income Taxes

The stockholders of the Bank have elected for the Bank to be treated as an S-Corporation. For Federal and state income tax purposes all items of income and expense flow through to its stockholders, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Loan origination fees are deferred and certain direct origination costs are capitalized; both recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual status or are charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.



F-57



BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This valuation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

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

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of unfunded loan commitments, standby letters of credit and unfunded lines of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.

Transfer of Financial Assets

Transfer of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest Rate Risk

The Bank’s performance is dependent to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the difference between income on interest-earning assets and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank, like most financial institutions, is affected by changes in general interest rate levels and by other economic factors beyond its control. Interest rate risk arises from mismatches between the dollar amount of repricing or maturing assets and liabilities (the interest rate sensitivity gap), and more liabilities repricing or maturing than assets over a given time frame is considered liability-sensitive, or a negative gap. An asset-sensitive position will generally enhance earnings in a rising interest rate environment and will negatively impact earnings in a falling interest rate environment, while a liability-sensitive position will generally enhance earnings in a falling interest rate environment and negatively impact earnings in a rising interest rate environment. Fluctuations in interest rates are not predictable or controllable. The Bank has attempted to structure its asset and liability management strategies to mitigate the impact of net interest income resulting from changes in market interest rates.

Stock-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (as amended by SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure) (collectively, “SFAS No. 123”) encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB No. 25”) whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Bank’s stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under APB No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Bank has elected to continue with the accounting methodology in APB No. 25 and, as a result, has provided proforma disclosures of net earnings and other disclosures, as if the fair valued based method of accounting had been applied.

The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) income if the Bank had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net earnings. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net earnings, are components of comprehensive income.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates, using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Bank. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amounts is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities

Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value. (See Note 2)

Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate mortgage (e.g. one-to-four family residential), commercial real estate and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable represent their values given their short term maturities.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, money-market and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Other Borrowings

The carrying amounts of other borrowings approximate their fair values. Fair values of advances from Federal Home Loan Bank are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowings.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The estimated fair values for off-balance-sheet stand by letters of credit are considered nominal.

Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for Guarantees

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.

The interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued, which includes standby letters of credit performance guarantees, and direct or indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others, but not guarantees of funding. The interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee, and requires disclosure about the maximum potential payments that might be required. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of the Interpretation are applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the premium or fees received or receivable from the standby letters of credit issued by the Bank does not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. The Bank applies FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the Interpretation is applicable no later than the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2004. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46R that were created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have an affect on the Bank financial statements.

Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans acquired in purchase business combinations and applies to all nongovernmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations. This SOP does not apply to loans originated by the entity. SOP 03-3 prohibits “carrying over” or creating valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of this SOP. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. This SOP is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. SOP 03-3 did not have an effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS No. 123R represents the culmination of a two-year effort to respond to requests from investors and many others that the FASB improve the accounting for share-based payment arrangements with employees. For nonpublic entities, SFAS No. 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005.

Management is in the process of determining the effect of adopting SFAS No 123R on the Bank’s financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Statement 154 establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to a newly adopted accounting principle. This statement will be effective for the Bank for all accounting changes and any error corrections occurring after January 1, 2006.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At December 31, 2005, several U.S. government agency securities and one mortgage-backed security had unrealized losses over twelve months of approximately $819,000. Such securities represent approximately 57% of the total investments in marketable equity securities. Although the issuers have shown declines in earnings as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary.

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unfunded commitments under lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of /the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank follows the same policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary.

NOTE 12 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is limited in the amount of cash dividends that may be paid. The amount of cash dividends that may be paid is based on the Bank’s net earnings of the current year combined with the Bank’s retained earnings of the preceding two years, as defined by state banking regulations. However, for any dividend declaration, the Bank must consider additional factors such as the amount of current period net earnings, asset quality, capital adequacy and economic conditions. It is likely that these factors would further limit the amount of dividend which the Bank could declare. In addition, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit banks from paying dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaking, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank 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 practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from Regulatory Authorities categorized the Bank as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Rules and Regulations. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage rations as set forth in the table. There were no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2005 and 2004



NOTE 14 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk represents the maximum accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted and any collateral or security proved to be of no value. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off-balance sheet) arising from financial instruments exist in relation to certain groups of customers. A group concentration arises when a number of counterparties have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located within its primary market area, which generally includes Miami-Dade County, Florida. This market area does not depend heavily on any particular industry.

At various times during the year, the Bank has maintained deposits with other financial institutions in excess of amounts received. The exposure to the Bank from these transactions is solely dependent upon daily balances and the financial strength of the respective institution.

NOTE 15 – PROFIT SHARING PLAN

The Bank sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan which is available to all employees electing to participate after meeting certain length of service requirements. The Bank’s contributions to the profit sharing plan are discretionary and are determined annually. No contributions were made for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004.

ASSET ACQUISITION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

ASSET ACQUISITION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 17, 2006, among Sun American Bancorp, a Delaware business corporation (“SAB”), Sun American Bank, a Florida commercial banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAB (“SB”) and Beach Bank, a Florida commercial banking association (“BB”).

RECITALS

The Boards of Directors of SAB, SB and BB have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their stockholders for SAB and SB to acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of BB, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Acquisition Transaction”).

As an inducement and condition to SAB and SB entering into this Agreement, certain of the shareholders of BB (i.e., all of its outside directors and the stockholders set forth on Exhibit G) have agreed to vote all of their shares of BB common stock which they are entitled to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the meeting of BB Stockholders at which this Agreement is considered as set forth in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Voting Agreement”).

The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Acquisition Transaction and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Acquisition Transaction.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

Acquisition Transaction Consideration. The total dollar value of the shares of SAB Common Stock to be issued and delivered by SAB as provided in Section 2.4 hereof, as consideration for the purchase of the Acquired Assets and assumption of the Assumed Obligations shall be determined by multiplying 2.35 times the Book Value of BB calculated based upon the Closing Balance Sheet subject to adjustment as expressly provided herein, and further determined in accordance with the procedures set forth Section 2.13 hereof; provided, however that with respect to the Exercised Stock or the Excess Capital, the total dollar value of the shares of SAB Common Stock issuable by SAB in exchange therefore shall be determined by multiplying 1.0 times the Book Value of such Exercised Stock or Excess Capital calculated based upon the Closing Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SAB may elect to pay up to $100,000 of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), which shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 2.4 hereof and used to pay certain fees and expenses as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

Affiliate. With respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” means, when used with respect to any Person, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have correlative meanings.

(i)

SAB and the Shareholder Representative shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible.

Any other dispute that SAB and the Shareholder Representative are unable to resolve within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as SAB and the Shareholder Representative shall mutually agree in writing) of notice of such dispute, such dispute and each party’s work papers related thereto shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved under the expedited rules established by the American Arbitration Association by an accounting firm that has not performed work for either SAB or BB within the past four years (any such firm, an “Uninterested Accounting Firm” agreed to by SAB and the Shareholder Representative.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.

10.11

Arbitration; Legal Proceedings.

(a)

Any controversy, claim, or question of interpretation in dispute between SAB and BB arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the determination of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration or the SAB Per Share Value, or the breach thereof, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida by a single arbitrator under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any U.S. federal or state court in the State of Florida having jurisdiction over this matter. The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on SAB and BB and not subject to further appeal. Such arbitration can be initiated by written notice by either party (the “Claimant”) to the other party, which notice shall identify the Claimant’s selected arbitrator. The party receiving such notice (the “Respondent”) shall have ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice to agree to the arbitrator selected by the Claimant or to suggest another arbitrator and notify the Claimant of such selection. In the event the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court in Florida could order or grant, including, specific performance of any obligation created under this Agreement, the issuance of injunctive or other provisional relief, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse or frustration of the arbitration process. The arbitration award will be in writing and, if requested by the parties, specify the factual and legal basis for the award.

(b)

It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration shall be concluded as quickly as reasonably practicable. Unless the parties otherwise agree, once commenced, the hearing on the disputed matters shall be held four (4) days a week until concluded with each hearing date to begin at 9:00 a.m. and to conclude at 5:00 p.m. The arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to issue the final award or awards within a period of five (5) Business Days after closure of the proceedings. Failure of the arbitrator to meet the time limits of this Section 10.11 shall not be a basis for challenging the award.

(c)

The arbitrator shall instruct the non prevailing party to pay all costs of the proceedings, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party. If the arbitrator determines that there is not a prevailing party, each party shall be instructed to bear its own costs and to pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrators.

(d)

Each of SAB and BB hereto hereby agrees that any legal proceeding instituted to enforce an arbitration award hereunder will be brought in the U.S. federal or state courts situated in Florida having jurisdiction, and hereby submits to personal jurisdiction therein and irrevocably waives any objection as to venue therein, and further agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of SAB and BB irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, to such person’s address for notices under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI.
INDEMNIFICATION

11.1

Indemnification Obligations of BB. Subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, BB shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SAB, SB, their affiliates, respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “SAB Indemnified Parties”) from, against, and in respect of, any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments (at equity or at law, including statutory and common) and damages whenever arising or incurred (including amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to:

(a)

any breach of any representation or warranty or determination by SAB that any representation and warranty made by BB in this Agreement or any BB Ancillary Documents is false;



A-35



 


(b)

any breach of any covenant, agreement or undertaking made by BB in this Agreement or any BB Ancillary Documents; and

(c)

any liability, obligation or Taxes arising from any Regulatory Claim.

The claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments of the SAB Indemnified Parties described in this Section 11.1 as to which the SAB is entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “SAB Losses.” This indemnification is the exclusive remedy of SAB Indemnified Parties relating to this Acquisition Transaction.

11.2

Indemnification Procedure.

(a)

Promptly following SAB Indemnified Parties’ detection of a violation of a representation or warranty or the receipt by SAB Indemnified Parties of notice by a third party of (including any governmental or regulatory agency) any complaint or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which SAB Indemnified Parties may be entitled to receive payment from the Escrow Fund for any SAB Loss in accordance with this Article XI, SAB Indemnified Parties shall notify the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent, promptly, but in no event later than (15) days, following SAB Indemnified Parties’ detection of a violation of a representation or warranty or receipt of any complaint or of notice of the commencement of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent shall not relieve BB from liability hereunder.

(b)

Subject to SAB Indemnified Parties complying with the processes of Article 11, SAB Indemnified Parties may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, if: (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of BB and directors from all liability arising out of such claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of BB or any director, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of BB or any director.

(c)

In the event SAB Indemnified Parties claims a right to payment pursuant hereto, it shall send written notice of such claim to the Shareholder Representative within 90 days of SAB Indemnified Parties’ receipt of such claim. Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim. In the event the Shareholder Representative disputes the liability with respect to such claim, as promptly as possible, the parties shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by arbitration as provided herein) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount, if any, of such claim, BB shall pay to SAB Indemnified Parties in shares of SAB Common Stock from the Escrow Fund equal to such claim as determined hereunder held in Escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The value of the shares of SAB Common Stock distributed to SAB Indemnified Parties pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be based upon the average trading price of the SAB Common Stock on the AMEX or other trading market for the ten (10) trading days prior to the distribution pursuant to this Section 11.2.

11.3

Claims Period. The claims period hereunder for notice of SAB Loss shall begin on the Closing Date hereof and terminate on the date that is forty eight (48) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the claims period, BB shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.4

Liability Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the sole and exclusive source of funds for satisfaction of all SAB Losses shall be the Escrow Fund and the liability of BB pursuant to this Article XI shall be limited to: (a) 75% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) 50% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date immediately following the six month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date; (c) 25% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing on the date following the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the eighteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date; (d) 10% of the Acquisition Transaction Consideration for claims made during the period commencing



A-36



 


on the date following the eighteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the four year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Escrow Fund shall be accordingly reduced to reflect such limitation on liability and the shares of SAB in the Escrow Fund distributed in accordance with the written instructions of the Shareholder Representative in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. Any shares remaining in the escrow following the satisfaction of all claims made prior to the four year anniversary of the Closing Date shall be distributed as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

11.5

Shareholders’ Representative.

(a)

BB hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Michael Kosnitzky, and in his absence or upon his resignation, George Scholl, as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Shareholder Representative”) for BB and its shareholder with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of BB with respect to the performance on behalf of BB under the terms and provisions hereof and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Shareholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any transaction contemplated hereunder, including the power to:

(i)

act for BB with respect to all indemnification matters referred to herein, including the right to compromise or settle any such claim on behalf of BB;

(ii)

act for BB with respect to the Escrow Amount;

(iii)

amend or waive any provision hereof (including any condition to Closing) in any manner that does not differentiate among any shareholder of BB;

(v)

act for BB with respect to all Acquisition Transaction Consideration matters and all Acquisition Transaction Consideration adjustment matters referred to herein following the Closing;

(vi)

(vii)

receive all notices, communications and deliveries hereunder on behalf of BB and its shareholder; and

(viii)

do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of BB and its shareholders that the Shareholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of the Shareholder Representative, relating to the subject matter hereof as fully and completely as BB could do if personally present and acting and as though any reference to BB and such shareholder herein was a reference to the Shareholder Representative.

(b)

The appointment of the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of the Shareholder Representative as the act of each shareholder of BB in all matters referred to herein.

(c)

In the event the Shareholder Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor Shareholder Representative shall be the person that is appointed by a majority of the Shareholder Indemnifying Parties.

11.6

Liability Claims Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere, other than as set forth in Section 11.7 hereof, SAB shall not make a claim for indemnification under Article XI for SAB Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such SAB Losses exceeds Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000.00) Dollars (the “SAB Basket”) in which case SAB may only make claims for indemnification for SAB Losses exceeding the SAB Basket; provided however, that in the event any of such claims for SAB Losses arise from any prior regulatory action against BB, including but not limited to (i) the Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order to Cease & Desist with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of Financial



A-37



 


Regulation of the State of Florida dated October 27, 2004, (ii) any deficiencies in the compliance programs of BB under the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA Patriot Act, (iii) Taxes, and (iv) and any other such regulatory review based claims (collectively the “Regulatory Claims”), shall not be subject to the SAB Basket and BB shall be responsible for all SAB Losses from the first dollar.

11.7

Tail Insurance Coverage. SAB shall purchase Directors and Officers Tail Liability insurance coverage for the former members of the Board of Directors of BB as determined by such former directors acting as a group, relating to any prior claims based on their service as directors of Beach Bank, provided that the cost of any such insurance shall be deducted from the Escrow Fund on a dollar for dollar basis without regard to the SAB Basket limitations described in Section 11.6 above.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SAB, SB and BB have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

APPENDIX B

SECTION 658.44 OF FLORIDA STATUTES

658.44  Approval by stockholders; rights of dissenters; preemptive rights.

(1)

The office shall not issue a certificate of merger to a resulting state bank or trust company unless the plan of merger and merger agreement, as adopted by a majority of the entire board of directors of each constituent bank or trust company, and as approved by each appropriate federal regulatory agency and by the office, has been approved:

(a)

By the stockholders of each constituent national bank as provided by, and in accordance with the procedures required by, the laws of the United States applicable thereto, and

(b)

After notice as hereinafter provided, by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon of each constituent state bank or state trust company, unless any class of shares of any constituent state bank or state trust company is entitled to vote thereon as a class, in which event as to such constituent state bank or state trust company the plan of merger and merger agreement shall be approved by the stockholders upon receiving the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote thereon as a class and of the total shares entitled to vote thereon. Such vote of stockholders of a constituent state bank or state trust company shall be at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by written consent of the stockholders without a meeting as provided in s. 607.0704.

Approval by the stockholders of a constituent bank or trust company of a plan of merger and merger agreement shall constitute the adoption by the stockholders of the articles of incorporation of the resulting state bank or state trust company as set forth in the plan of merger and merger agreement.

(2)

Written notice of the meeting of, or proposed written consent action by, the stockholders of each constituent state bank or state trust company shall be given to each stockholder of record, whether or not entitled to vote, and whether the meeting is an annual or a special meeting or whether the vote is to be by written consent pursuant to s. 607.0704, and the notice shall state that the purpose or one of the purposes of the meeting, or of the proposed action by the stockholders without a meeting, is to consider the proposed plan of merger and merger agreement. Except to the extent provided otherwise with respect to stockholders of a resulting bank or trust company pursuant to subsection (7), the notice shall also state that dissenting stockholders will be entitled to payment in cash of the value of only those shares held by the stockholders:

(a)

Which at a meeting of the stockholders are voted against the approval of the plan of merger and merger agreement;

(b)

As to which, if the proposed action is to be by written consent of stockholders pursuant to s. 607.0704, such written consent is not given by the holder thereof; or

(c)

With respect to which the holder thereof has given written notice to the constituent state bank or trust company, at or prior to the meeting of the stockholders or on or prior to the date specified for action by the stockholders without a meeting pursuant to s. 607.0704 in the notice of such proposed action, that the stockholder dissents from the plan of merger and merger agreement.

Hereinafter in this section, the term “dissenting shares” means and includes only those shares, which may be all or less than all the shares of any class owned by a stockholder, described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c).

(3)

On or promptly after the effective date of the merger, the resulting state bank or trust company, or a bank holding company which, as set out in the plan of merger or merger agreement, is offering shares rights, obligations, or other securities or property in exchange for shares of the constituent banks or trust companies, may fix an amount which it considers to be not more than the fair market value of the shares of a constituent bank or trust company and which it will pay to the holders of dissenting shares of that constituent bank or trust company and, if it fixes such amount, shall offer to pay such amount to the holders of all dissenting shares of that constituent bank or trust company. The amount payable pursuant to any such offer which is accepted by the holders of dissenting shares,



B-1



 


and the amount payable to the holders of dissenting shares pursuant to an appraisal, shall constitute a debt of the resulting state bank or state trust company.

(4)

The owners of dissenting shares who have accepted an offer made pursuant to subsection (3) shall be entitled to receive the amount so offered for such shares in cash upon surrendering the stock certificates representing such shares at any time within 30 days after the effective date of the merger, and the owners of dissenting shares, the value of which is to be determined by appraisal, shall be entitled to receive the value of such shares in cash upon surrender of the stock certificates representing such shares at any time within 30 days after the value of such shares has been determined by appraisal made on or after the effective date of the merger.

(5)

The value of dissenting shares of each constituent state bank or state trust company, the owners of which have not accepted an offer for such shares made pursuant to subsection (3), shall be determined as of the effective date of the merger by three appraisers, one to be selected by the owners of at least two-thirds of such dissenting shares, one to be selected by the board of directors of the resulting state bank, and the third to be selected by the two so chosen. The value agreed upon by any two of the appraisers shall control and be final and binding on all parties. If, within 90 days from the effective date of the merger, for any reason one or more of the appraisers is not selected as herein provided, or the appraisers fail to determine the value of such dissenting shares, the office shall cause an appraisal of such dissenting shares to be made which will be final and binding on all parties. The expenses of appraisal shall be paid by the resulting state bank or trust company.

(6)

Upon the effective date of the merger, all the shares of stock of every class of each constituent bank or trust company, whether or not surrendered by the holders thereof, shall be void and deemed to be canceled, and no voting or other rights of any kind shall pertain thereto or to the holders thereof except only such rights as may be expressly provided in the plan of merger and merger agreement or expressly provided by law.

(7)

The provisions of subsection (6) and, unless agreed by all the constituent banks and trust companies and expressly provided in the plan of merger and merger agreement, subsections (3), (4), and (5) are not applicable to a resulting bank or trust company or to the shares or holders of shares of a resulting bank or trust company the cash, shares, rights, obligations, or other securities or property of which, in whole or in part, is provided in the plan of merger or merger agreement to be exchanged for the shares of the other constituent banks or trust companies.

(8)

The stock, rights, obligations, and other securities of a resulting bank or trust company may be issued as provided by the terms of the plan of merger and merger agreement, free from any preemptive rights of the holders of any of the shares of stock or of any of the rights, obligations, or other securities of such resulting bank or trust company or of any of the constituent banks or trust companies.

(9)

After approval of the plan of merger and merger agreement by the stockholders as provided in subsection (1), there shall be filed with the office, within 30 days after the time limit in s. 658.43(5), a fully executed counterpart of the plan of merger and merger agreement as so approved if it differs in any respect from any fully executed counterpart thereof theretofore filed with the office, and copies of the resolutions approving the same by the stockholders of each constituent bank or trust company, certified by the president, or chief executive officer if other than the president, and the cashier or corporate secretary of each constituent bank or trust company, respectively, with the corporate seal impressed thereon.

APPENDIX C

September 20, 2006

The Board of Directors

Sun American Bancorp

1200 N. Federal Highway, Suite 111-A

Boca Raton, FL  33432

Dear Members of the Board:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, of the consideration offered in the proposed acquisition by Sun American Bank, a Florida commercial banking association and subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank”), of substantially all the assets, and assumption of substantially all the liabilities, of Beach Bank, a Florida chartered commercial bank (“Beach Bank”) (the “Acquisition Transaction”), pursuant to the Asset Acquisition and Assumption Agreement by and among the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank, dated as of May 17, 2006 (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will issue and deliver that number of shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 2.35 times Beach Bank’s Book Value (as defined in the Agreement) at closing, divided by $5.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Agreement (the “Acquisition Transaction Consideration”).

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as part of its investment banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services companies and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, competitive bidding processes, and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of financial services companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of these enterprises. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank, and as an active trader of securities, we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of the Company for our own account and for the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any such position as of the date of this opinion, we have disclosed it to you. We have acted exclusively for you, the Board of Directors of the Company, in rendering this fairness opinion, and this opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to how such stockholder should vote at any meeting of stockholders called to consider and vote upon the Acquisition Transaction. We will receive a fee from the Company for our services.

In arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank and the Acquisition Transaction.

In the course of our engagement as financial advisor we have, among other things:

i.

reviewed the Agreement;

ii.

reviewed certain historical financial and other information concerning Beach Bank;

iii.

reviewed certain historical financial and other information concerning the Company and the Bank;

iv.

held discussions with members of senior management of the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank regarding past and current business operations, regulatory matters, financial condition and future prospects;

v.

reviewed and studied the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the Company’s common stock;

vi.

analyzed certain publicly available financial information and valuation multiples of other financial institutions deemed comparable or otherwise relevant, and compared Beach Bank and the Company to those institutions;

vii.

compared the financial terms of the Acquisition Transaction with the financial terms of certain other transactions deemed comparable or otherwise relevant; and

viii.

performed other studies and analyses that we considered appropriate.



C-1



 


In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to KBW or that was publicly available. KBW did not attempt or assume any responsibility to verify such information independently. KBW relied upon the respective managements of the Company and the Bank as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and assumptions and bases therefor) provided to KBW. KBW assumed, without independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for Beach Bank and the Bank are adequate to cover those losses. KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of any properties of Beach Bank, the Company or the Bank, or examine or review any individual credit files.

In connection with rendering our opinion, we have also assumed that there has been no change material to our analysis in the Company’s, the Bank’s or Beach Bank’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have also assumed in all respects material to our analysis that the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements are true and correct, that each party to the Agreement will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the Agreement, that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived and that the Acquisition Transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. We have also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Acquisition Transaction, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the Company or the Bank or the contemplated benefits of the Acquisition Transaction, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the Acquisition Transaction.

We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank; (ii) the assets and liabilities of the Company, the Bank and Beach Bank; and (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger or acquisition transactions involving financial institutions. We have also taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the financial services industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the date hereof.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Acquisition Transaction Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

/s/ Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.

The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Classes I, II and III, which shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. Initially, directors of Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2000, directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2001, and directors of Class III shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2002.

APPENDIX E

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2005 STOCK OPTION

AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

1.

Purpose of Plan

The purpose of this Amended and Restated Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide additional incentive to officers and directors of, and other key employees of and important consultants and/or advisors to, Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”), and each present or future parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (“Affiliates”), by encouraging them to invest in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) and providing for awards in the form of options to purchase Common Stock and restricted shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Awards”) in order to promote a proprietary interest in the Company and an increased personal interest in the Company’s continued success and progress.

2.

Aggregate Number of Shares

A maximum of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under this Plan either in the form of restricted shares or upon the exercise of options issued pursuant to the Plan subject to the restrictions described below. Up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options (as defined in Section 5(a) of the Plan).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee (as defined in Section 4(a)), deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the aggregate number of shares which may be issued under this Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Reacquired shares of Common Stock, as well as unissued shares, may be used to grant Awards under this Plan. Common Stock subject to options which have terminated unexercised, either in whole or in part, and restricted shares which are forfeited prior to vesting shall be available for future grants under this Plan.

3.

Class of Persons Eligible to Receive Awards

All officers, directors and key employees of and important consultants and/or advisors to the Company and of or to any present or future Company parent or subsidiary corporation are eligible to receive Awards under this Plan. The individuals who shall, in fact, receive Awards shall be selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, except as otherwise specified in Section 4 hereof, and are referred to herein as participants. No outside director may receive Awards under this Plan which in the aggregate equal more than 20% of the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan and no officer, employee or consultant may receive Awards under this Plan which in the aggregate equal more than 60% of the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under this Plan.

4.

Administration of Plan

(a)

This Plan shall be administered either by the Company’s Board of Directors or a Compensation Committee appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee shall consist of a minimum of two and a maximum of five members of the Board of Directors, each of whom shall be a “Non-Employee Director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any future corresponding rule, except that the failure of the Compensation Committee for any reason to be composed solely of Non-Employee Directors shall not prevent an Award from being considered granted under this Plan. The term “Committee,” as used herein, shall refer to either the Company’s Board of Directors or such Compensation Committee, depending upon who is administering the Plan. The Committee shall, in addition to its other authority and subject to the provisions of this Plan, determine which individuals shall in fact be granted an option or options, whether the option shall be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option (as such terms are defined in Section 5(a)), the number of shares to be subject to each of the options, the time or times at which the options shall be granted, the rate of option exercisability, and, subject to Section 5 hereof, the price at which each of the options is exercisable and the duration of the option. The Committee shall further have full and complete authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to grant restricted shares and, in addition to the terms and



E-1





conditions contained in Sections 6 and 9 hereof, to provide such other terms and conditions (which need not be identical among participants) with respect to such restricted shares and the lapsing of restrictions thereon, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. The dollar value of restricted shares granted under the Plan shall be calculated based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant as such term is defined in Section 5(a) of the Plan.

(b)

The Committee shall adopt such rules for the conduct of its business and administration of this Plan as it considers desirable. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. The vote or written consent of a majority of the members of the Committee on a particular matter shall constitute the act of the Committee on such matter. The Committee shall have the right to construe the Plan and the Awards granted pursuant thereto, to correct defects and omissions and to reconcile inconsistencies to the extent necessary to effectuate the Plan and the Awards granted pursuant thereto, and such action shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties concerned. No member of the Committee or the Board of Directors shall be liable for any act or omission (whether or not negligent) taken or omitted in good faith, or for the exercise of an authority or discretion granted in connection with the Plan to a Committee or the Board of Directors, or for the acts or omissions of any other members of a Committee or the Board of Directors. Subject to the numerical limitations on Committee membership set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, the Board of Directors may at any time appoint additional members of the Committee and may at any time remove any member of the Committee with or without cause. Vacancies in the Committee, however caused, may be filled by the Board of Directors, if it so desires.

5.

Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options

(a)

Options issued pursuant to this Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof or Non-Qualified Stock Options granted pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof, as determined by the Committee. An “Incentive Stock Option” is an option which satisfies all of the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder, and a “Non-Qualified Stock Option” is an option which either does not satisfy all of those requirements or the terms of the option provide that it will not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. The Committee may grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-Qualified Stock Option to the same person, or more than one of each type of option to the same person. The option price for Incentive Stock Options issued under this Plan shall be equal at least to the fair market value (as defined below) of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option. Options shall be granted at an option price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value (as defined below) of the common stock on the date of the grant of the option. The fair market value of the Common Stock on any particular date shall mean the closing price of a share of the Common Stock on any stock exchange on which such stock is then listed or admitted to trading, including but not limited to the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or any other exchange, on such date, or if no sale took place on such day, the last such date on which a sale took place, or if the Common Stock is not then quoted on the American Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, or listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the average of the bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market on such date, or if none of the foregoing, a price determined in good faith by the Committee to equal the fair market value per share of the Common Stock.

(b)

Subject to the authority of the Committee set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, Incentive Stock Options issued pursuant to this Plan shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Appendix I hereof, which form is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and shall contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the agreement evidencing the grant of Incentive Stock Options, all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall vest at a rate of one-fifth (1/5) of the initial award per year over a period of five (5) years, commencing on January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Incentive Stock Options were granted. Incentive Stock Options shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date such options are granted, unless terminated earlier under the terms of the option, except that options granted to individuals described in Section 422(b)(6) of the Code shall conform to the provisions of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code. At the time of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option hereunder, the Committee may, in its discretion, amend or supplement any of the option terms contained in Appendix I for any particular optionee, provided that the option as amended or supplemented satisfies the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2 hereof, each of the options granted pursuant to this Section 5(b) is intended, if possible, to be an “Incentive Stock Option” as that term  is defined in Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. In the event this Plan or any option granted pursuant to this Section 5(b) is in any way inconsistent with the applicable legal requirements of the Code or the regulations thereunder for an Incentive Stock Option, this Plan and such option shall be deemed automatically



E-2





amended as of the date hereof to conform to such legal requirements, if such conformity may be achieved by amendment. If such conformity may not be achieved by amendment, such option shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(c)

Subject to the authority of the Committee set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, Non-Qualified Stock Options issued to officers and other key employees pursuant to this Plan shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Appendix II hereof, which form is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and shall contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the agreement evidencing the grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options, all Non-Qualified Stock Options granted under the Plan shall vest at a rate of one-fifth (1/5) of the initial award per year over a period of five (5) years, commencing on January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Non-Qualified Stock Options were granted. Subject to the authority of the Committee set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, Non-Qualified Stock Options issued to directors and important consultants and/or advisors pursuant to this Plan shall be issued substantially in the form set forth in Appendix III hereof, which form is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and shall contain substantially the terms and conditions set forth therein. Non-Qualified Stock Options shall expire ten years after the date they are granted, unless terminated earlier under the option terms. At the time of granting a Non-Qualified Stock Option hereunder, the Committee may, in its discretion, amend or supplement any of the option terms contained in Appendix II or Appendix III for any particular optionee.

(d)

Neither the Company nor any of its current or future parent, subsidiaries or affiliates, nor their officers, directors, shareholders, stock option plan committees, employees or agents shall have any liability to any optionee in the event (i) an option granted pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof does not qualify as an “Incentive Stock Option” as that term is used in Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder; (ii) any optionee does not obtain the tax treatment pertaining to an “Incentive Stock Option;” or (iii) any option granted pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof is an “Incentive Stock Option.”

(e)

Except as otherwise provided in Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder or any successor provision, no Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise provided by the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Committee at the time of grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may provide that such stock option is transferable to any “family member” of the optionee by gift or qualified domestic relations order. For purposes of this section, a family member includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the grantee) controls the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons or the grantee own more than 50% of the voting interests.

6.

Restricted Shares

(a)

At the time of an award of restricted shares, in addition to any other terms and conditions the Committee shall provide, the Committee shall establish for each participant a period of time during which restricted shares granted under the Plan are subject to forfeiture by the participant if the conditions established by the Committee, if any, are not met or upon the expiration of which the restricted shares shall vest and no longer be subject to restriction (the “Restricted Period”). Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the agreement evidencing the award of restricted shares, all restricted shares shall have a Restricted Period of five (5) years and such restrictions shall lapse at a rate of one-fifth (1/5) of the initial award per year, commencing on January 1st of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the restricted shares were granted. Restricted shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the participant, except as hereinafter provided, during the Restricted Period. Except for such restrictions, and subject to paragraphs (d) and (f) of this Section 6 and Section 9 hereof, the participant as owner of such restricted shares shall have all the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares.

(b)

Except as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section 6, if a participant ceases to maintain Continuous Service for any reason (other than death or disability), all restricted shares theretofore awarded to such participant and which at the time of such termination of Continuous Service are subject to the restrictions imposed by paragraph (a) of this Section 6 shall upon such termination of Continuous Service be forfeited and returned to the Company. If a participant ceases to maintain Continuous Service by reason of death or disability, restricted shares



E-3





then still subject to restrictions imposed by paragraph (a) of this Section 6 will be free of those restrictions. “Continuous Service,” as used herein, means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an officer, director or employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate. Service shall not be considered interrupted in the case of sick leave, military leave or any other leave of absence approved by the Company or any Affiliate or in the case of transfers between payroll locations of the Company, or between the Company, or its subsidiaries.

(c)

The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the restrictions shall lapse with respect to restricted shares, or to remove any or all of such restrictions, whenever it may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws or other changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of such Restricted Period.

(d)

Each certificate in respect of restricted shares awarded under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the participant and deposited by the participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company and shall bear the following (or a similar) restricted legend (the “Restricted Legend”):

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) contained in the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan of Sun American Bancorp. Copies of such Plan are on file in the office of the Secretary of Sun American Bancorp, 3400 Coral Way, Miami, Florida 33145.

(e)

At the time of any award of restricted shares, the participant shall enter into an agreement with the Company in a form attached hereto as Appendix IV, as modified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the restricted shares and such other matters as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”).

(f)

The payment to a participant of cash dividends declared or paid on such restricted shares by the Company shall be deferred until the lapsing of any restrictions imposed under paragraph (a) of this Section 6. Such deferred dividends shall be held by the Company for the account of the participant. In such event, there shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be made upon the earlier to occur of the lapsing of the restrictions imposed under paragraph (a) of this Section 6 or upon death or disability of the participant.

(g)

At the expiration of the Restricted Period, if any, imposed by paragraph (a) of this Section 6, the Company shall redeliver to the participant (or where the relevant provision of paragraph (b) of this Section 6 applies in the case of a deceased participant, to his legal representative, beneficiary or heir) the certificate(s) and stock power deposited with it pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 6 and the shares represented by such certificate(s) shall be free of the Restricted Legend referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Legend described in paragraph (g) of Section 9 shall continue to be included on all certificates as long as registration has not occurred.

(h)

During the Restricted Period, no Award nor any right of interest of a participant in such Award set forth in any instrument evidencing any Award under the Plan may be assigned, encumbered or transferred except, in the event of the death of a participant, by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(i)

The Committee may provide in the Restricted Stock Agreement if the Continuous Service of any participant (as defined in Section 6) is involuntarily terminated for whatever reason, except for cause, as defined by the Committee, at any time within a specified period after a change in control, unless the Committee shall otherwise provide, any Restricted Period with respect to restricted shares shall lapse upon such termination and all restricted shares shall become fully vested in the participant.

(j)

Upon the termination of any Restricted Period with respect to restricted shares (or at any such earlier time, if any, that an election is made by the participant under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, to include the value of such shares in taxable income), the Company may withhold from any payment or distribution made under this Plan sufficient shares or may withhold from the participant’s compensation or require to be paid by participant sufficient cash to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all dividends paid with respect to restricted shares the amount of any taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to such dividend payments. No discretion or choice shall be conferred upon any participant with respect to the form, timing or method of any such tax withholding.



E-4





7.

Amendment, Supplement, Suspension and Termination

Awards shall not be granted pursuant to this Plan after the expiration of ten years from the date the Plan was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend or supplement this Plan, including the forms of option or restricted stock agreement attached hereto, in any way, or to suspend or terminate it, effective as of such date, which date may be either before or after the taking of such action, as may be specified by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such action shall not affect Awards granted under the Plan prior to the actual date on which such action occurred. If an amendment or supplement of this Plan is required by the Code or the regulations thereunder to be approved by the shareholders of the Company in order to permit the granting of “Incentive Stock Options” (as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder) pursuant to the amended or supplemented Plan, such amendment or supplement shall also be approved by the shareholders of the Company in such manner as is prescribed by the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the Board of Directors voluntarily submits a proposed amendment, supplement, suspension or termination for shareholder approval, such submission shall not require any future amendments, supplements, suspensions or terminations (whether or not relating to the same provision or subject matter) to be similarly submitted for shareholder approval.

8.

Effectiveness of Plan

This Plan shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject however to approval by the holders of the Common Stock in the manner as prescribed in the Code and the regulations thereunder. Options may be granted under this Plan prior to obtaining shareholder approval, provided such options shall not be exercisable until shareholder approval is obtained. No grants of restricted shares may be made under the Plan prior to the receipt of shareholder approval.

9.

General Conditions

(a)

Nothing contained in this Plan or any Award granted pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any employee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any affiliated or subsidiary corporation or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any affiliated or subsidiary corporation to terminate his employment in any way.

(b)

Nothing contained in this Plan or any Award granted pursuant to this Plan shall confer upon any director or consultant the right to continue as a director of, or consultant to, the Company or any affiliated or subsidiary corporation or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company or any affiliated or subsidiary corporation, or their respective shareholders, to terminate the directorship of any such director or the consultancy relationship of any such consultant.

(c)

Corporate action constituting an offer of stock for sale to any person under the terms of the options to be granted hereunder shall be deemed complete as of the date when the Committee authorizes the grant of the option to the such person, regardless of when the option is actually delivered to such person or acknowledged or agreed to by him.

(d)

The terms “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation” as used throughout this Plan, and the options granted pursuant to this Plan, shall (except as otherwise provided in the option form) have the meaning that is ascribed to that term when contained in Section 422(b) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and the Company shall be deemed to be the grantor corporation for purposes of applying such meaning.

(e)

References in this Plan to the Code shall be deemed to also refer to the corresponding provisions of any future United States revenue law.

(f)

The use of the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender whenever appropriate.



E-5

To the extent restricted shares or Common Stock issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan have not been registered under the federal and state securities laws or an exemption is otherwise unavailable, the certificates for Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear the following securities legend (the “Securities Legend”):

The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration.

The foregoing legend shall be removed upon registration of the legended shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state laws or upon receipt of any opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that said registration is no longer required.

(h)

Each of the events specified in the following clauses (i) and (ii) of this subsection (h) shall be deemed a “change in control”: (i) a change within a twelve-month period in the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company; or (ii) any other events deemed to constitute a “change in control” by the Committee.

(i)

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the number and kind of shares subject to options and the option price of such shares shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and outstanding Awards shall be treated like all other outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any shares of stock or other securities received, as a result of any of the foregoing adjustment by the Committee or as part of an adjustment provided to shareholders in general, by a participant with respect to restricted shares shall be subject to the same restrictions and the certificate(s) or other instruments representing or evidencing such shares or securities shall be legended and deposited with the Company in the manner provided in Section 5 hereof.

Percent of Initial Award Vested

 

 

 

Thus, this Option is fully exercisable on or after __ years from the Date of Grant. This Option shall terminate and is not exercisable after 10 years from the Date of Grant (the “Scheduled Termination Date”) This Option shall be adjusted for any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, supplemental offering of shares, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances. No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered.

In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined below) of the Company, your option may, from and after the date of the Change of Control, and notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, be exercised for up to 100% of the total number of shares then subject to the option minus the number of shares previously purchased upon exercise of the option (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares and what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances) and your vesting date may accelerate accordingly. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:

1.

A change within a twelve-month period in the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company; or

2.

Any other event deemed to constitute a “Change of Control” by the Committee.

You may exercise your option by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company on forms supplied by the Company at its then principal executive office, accompanied by payment of the option price for the total number of shares you specify that you wish to purchase. The payment may be in any of the following forms: (a) cash, which may be evidenced by a check and includes cash received from a stock brokerage firm in a so-called “cashless exercise”; (b) unless prohibited by the Committee, certificates representing shares of Common Stock, which will be valued by the Secretary of the Company at the fair market value per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with the Plan) on the date of delivery of such certificates to the Company, accompanied by an assignment of the stock to the Company; or (c) unless prohibited by the Committee, any combination of cash and Common Stock valued as provided in clause (b). The use of the so-called “attestation procedure” to exercise a stock option may be permitted by the Committee. Any assignment of stock shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Secretary of the Company, including guarantees of signature(s) and payment of all transfer taxes if the Secretary deems such guarantees necessary or desirable.

Your option will, to the extent not previously exercised by you, terminate three months after the date on which your employment by the Company or a Company subsidiary corporation is terminated (whether such termination be voluntary or involuntary) other than by reason of disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder, or death (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date). After the date your employment is terminated, as aforesaid, you may exercise this option only for the number of shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase on the



E-7





date your employment terminated. If you are employed by a Company subsidiary corporation, your employment shall be deemed to have terminated on the date your employer ceases to be a Company subsidiary corporation, unless you are on that date transferred to the Company or another Company subsidiary corporation. Your employment shall not be deemed to have terminated if you are transferred from the Company to a Company subsidiary corporation, or vice versa, or from one Company subsidiary corporation to another Company subsidiary corporation.

If you die while employed by the Company or a Company subsidiary corporation, your executor or administrator, as the case may be, may, at any time within one year after the date of your death (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date), exercise the option as to any shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase during your lifetime. If your employment with the Company or a Company parent or subsidiary corporation is terminated by reason of your becoming disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), you or your legal guardian or custodian may at any time within one year after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date), exercise the option as to any shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase prior to such termination. Your executor, administrator, guardian or custodian must present proof of his authority satisfactory to the Company prior to being allowed to exercise this option.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this option, in the event of a sale or a proposed sale of the majority of the stock or assets of the Company or a proposed Change of Control, the Committee shall have the right to terminate this option upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you, subject to your right to exercise such option to the extent vested prior to such termination.

This option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your lifetime only by you, including, for this purpose, your legal guardian or custodian in the event of disability. Until the option price has been paid in full pursuant to due exercise of this option and the purchased shares are delivered to you, you do not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The Company reserves the right not to deliver to you the shares purchased by virtue of the exercise of this option during any period of time in which the Company deems, in its sole discretion, that such delivery would violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option is not exercisable until all the following events occur and during the following periods of time:

(a)

Until the Plan pursuant to which this option is granted is approved by the shareholders of the Company in the manner prescribed by the Code and the regulations thereunder;

(b)

Until this option and the optioned shares are approved and/or registered with such federal, state and local regulatory bodies or agencies and securities exchanges as the Company may deem necessary or desirable;

(c)

During any period of time in which the Company deems that the exercisability of this option, the offer to sell the shares optioned hereunder, or the sale thereof, may violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law, or may cause the Company to be legally obligated to issue or sell more shares than the Company is legally entitled to issue or sell; or

(d)

Until you have paid or made suitable arrangements to pay (which may include payment through the surrender of Common Stock, unless prohibited by the Committee) (i) all federal, state and local income tax withholding required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the option exercise, and (ii) your portion of other federal, state and local payroll and other taxes due in connection with the option exercise.

The following two paragraphs shall be applicable if, on the date of exercise of this option, the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities laws, and shall continue to be applicable for so long as such registration has not occurred:

(a)

The optionee hereby agrees, warrants and represents that he will acquire the Common Stock to be issued hereunder for his own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or other distribution of any of such shares, except as hereafter permitted. The optionee further agrees that he will not at any time make any offer, sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of such Common Stock to be issued



E-8





hereunder without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration. The optionee shall execute such instruments, representations, acknowledgments and agreements as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable to avoid any violation of federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

(b)

The certificates for Common Stock to be issued to the optionee hereunder shall bear the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration.

The foregoing legend shall be removed upon registration of the legended shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state laws or upon receipt of any opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that said registration is no longer required.

The sole purpose of the agreements, warranties, representations and legend set forth in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is to prevent violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws.

It is the intention of the Company and you that this option shall, if possible, be an “Incentive Stock Option” as that term is used in Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. In the event this option is in any way inconsistent with the legal requirements of the Code or the regulations thereunder for an “Incentive Stock Option,” this option shall be deemed automatically amended as of the date hereof to conform to such legal requirements, if such conformity may be achieved by amendment. If such conformity may not be achieved by amendment, such option shall be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

Nothing herein shall modify your status as an at-will employee of the Company. Further, nothing herein guarantees you employment for any specified period of time. This means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time for any reason, or no reason. You recognize that, for instance, you may terminate your employment or the Company may terminate your employment prior to the date on which your option becomes vested.

Any dispute or disagreement between you and the Company with respect to any portion of this option or its validity, construction, meaning, performance or your rights hereunder shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, as amended from time to time. However, prior to submission to arbitration you will attempt to resolve any disputes or disagreements with the Company over this option amicably and informally, in good faith, for a period not to exceed two weeks. Thereafter, the dispute or disagreement will be submitted to arbitration. At any time prior to a decision from the arbitrator(s) being rendered, you and the Company may resolve the dispute by settlement. You and the Company shall equally share the costs charged by the American Arbitration Association or its successor, but you and the Company shall otherwise be solely responsible for your own respective counsel fees and expenses. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be made in writing, setting forth the award, the reasons for the decision and award and shall be binding and conclusive on you and the Company. Further, neither you nor the Company shall appeal any such award. Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award and may be enforced as such in accordance with the provisions of the award.

This option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan in effect on the date this option is granted, which terms are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this option and the terms of the Plan in effect on the date of this option, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This option constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and no amendment, supplement or waiver of this option, in whole or in part, shall be binding upon the Company unless in writing and signed by the President of the Company. This option and the performances of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

Date of Grant:

 

You are hereby granted an option, effective as of the date hereof, to purchase __________ shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) at a price of $__________ per share pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Your Option may first be exercised at any time on or after __________ for up to ____% of the total number of shares subject to the Option and thereafter pursuant to the following schedule until the total number of shares subject to the Option are fully exercisable:

Vesting Date

 

Percent of Initial Award Vested

 

 

 

Thus, this Option is fully exercisable on or after __ years from the Date of Grant. This Option shall terminate and is not exercisable after 10 years from the Date of Grant (the “Scheduled Termination Date”). This Option shall be adjusted for any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, supplemental offering of shares, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances. No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered.

In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined below) of the Company, your option may, from and after the date of the Change of Control, and notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, be exercised for up to 100% of the total number of shares then subject to the option minus the number of shares previously purchased upon exercise of the option (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares and what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances) and your vesting date may accelerate accordingly. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:

1.

A change within a twelve-month period in the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company; or

2.

Any other event deemed to constitute a “Change of Control” by the Committee.

You may exercise your option by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company on forms supplied by the Company at its then principal executive office, accompanied by payment of the option price for the total number of shares you specify that you wish to purchase. The payment may be in any of the following forms: (a) cash, which may be evidenced by a check and includes cash received from a stock brokerage firm in a so-called “cashless exercise”; (b) unless prohibited by the Committee, certificates representing shares of Common Stock, which will be valued by the Secretary of the Company at the fair market value per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with the Plan) on the date of delivery of such certificates to the Company, accompanied by an assignment of the stock to the Company; or (c) unless prohibited by the Committee, any combination of cash and Common Stock valued as provided in clause (b). The use of the so-called “attestation procedure” to exercise a stock option may be permitted by the Committee. Any assignment of stock shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Secretary of the Company, including guarantees of signature(s) and payment of all transfer taxes if the Secretary deems such guarantees necessary or desirable.

Your option will, to the extent not previously exercised by you, terminate three months after the date on which your employment by the Company or a Company subsidiary corporation is terminated (whether such termination be voluntary or involuntary) other than by reason of disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder, or death (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date). After the date your employment is terminated, as aforesaid, you may



E-11





exercise this option only for the number of shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase on the date your employment terminated. If you are employed by a Company subsidiary corporation, your employment shall be deemed to have terminated on the date your employer ceases to be a Company subsidiary corporation, unless you are on that date transferred to the Company or another Company subsidiary corporation. Your employment shall not be deemed to have terminated if you are transferred from the Company to a Company subsidiary corporation, or vice versa, or from one Company subsidiary corporation to another Company subsidiary corporation.

If you die while employed by the Company or a Company subsidiary corporation, your executor or administrator, as the case may be, may, at any time within one year after the date of your death (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date), exercise the option as to any shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase during your lifetime. If your employment with the Company or a Company parent or subsidiary corporation is terminated by reason of your becoming disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), you or your legal guardian or custodian may at any time within one year after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the Scheduled Termination Date), exercise the option as to any shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase prior to such termination. Your executor, administrator, guardian or custodian must present proof of his authority satisfactory to the Company prior to being allowed to exercise this option.

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the number and kind of shares subject to this option and the option price of such shares shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this option, in the event of a sale or a proposed sale of the majority of the stock or assets of the Company or a proposed Change of Control, the Committee shall have the right to terminate this option upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you, subject to your right to exercise such option to the extent vested prior to such termination.

Except for transfers to __________ under the terms set forth in the Plan, this option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your lifetime only by you, including, for this purpose, your legal guardian or custodian in the event of disability. Until the option price has been paid in full pursuant to due exercise of this option and the purchased shares are delivered to you, you do not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The Company reserves the right not to deliver to you the shares purchased by virtue of the exercise of this option during any period of time in which the Company deems, in its sole discretion, that such delivery would violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option is not exercisable until all the following events occur and during the following periods of time:

(a)

Until the Plan pursuant to which this option is granted is approved by the shareholders of the Company in the manner prescribed by the Code and the regulations thereunder;

(b)

Until this option and the optioned shares are approved and/or registered with such federal, state and local regulatory bodies or agencies and securities exchanges as the Company may deem necessary or desirable;

(c)

During any period of time in which the Company deems that the exercisability of this option, the offer to sell the shares optioned hereunder, or the sale thereof, may violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law, or may cause the Company to be legally obligated to issue or sell more shares than the Company is legally entitled to issue or sell; or

(d)

Until you have paid or made suitable arrangements to pay (which may include payment through the surrender of Common Stock, unless prohibited by the Committee) (i) all federal, state and local income tax withholding required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the option exercise and (ii) your portion of other federal, state and local payroll and other taxes due in connection with the option exercise.



E-12





The following two paragraphs shall be applicable if, on the date of exercise of this option, the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities laws, and shall continue to be applicable for so long as such registration has not occurred:

(a)

The optionee hereby agrees, warrants and represents that he will acquire the Common Stock to be issued hereunder for his own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or other distribution of any of such shares, except as hereafter permitted. The optionee further agrees that he will not at any time make any offer, sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of such Common Stock to be issued hereunder without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration. The optionee shall execute such instruments, representations, acknowledgments and agreements as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable to avoid any violation of federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

(b)

The certificates for Common Stock to be issued to the optionee hereunder shall bear the following legend:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration.”

The foregoing legend shall be removed upon registration of the legended shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state laws or upon receipt of any opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that said registration is no longer required.

The sole purpose of the agreements, warranties, representations and legend set forth in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is to prevent violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws.

It is the intention of the Company and you that this option shall not be an “Incentive Stock Option” as that term is used in Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

Nothing herein shall modify your status as an at-will employee of the Company. Further, nothing herein guarantees you employment for any specified period of time. This means that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time for any reason, or no reason. You recognize that, for instance, you may terminate your employment or the Company may terminate your employment prior to the date on which your option becomes vested.

Any dispute or disagreement between you and the Company with respect to any portion of this option or its validity, construction, meaning, performance or your rights hereunder shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, as amended from time to time. However, prior to submission to arbitration you will attempt to resolve any disputes or disagreements with the Company over this option amicably and informally, in good faith, for a period not to exceed two weeks.

Further, neither you nor the Company shall appeal any such award. Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award and may be enforced as such in accordance with the provisions of the award.

This option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan in effect on the date this option is granted, which terms are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this option and the terms of the Plan in effect on the date of this option, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This

Date of Grant:

   

You are hereby granted an option, effective as of the date hereof, to purchase __________ shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”), at a price of $__________ per share pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Your Option may first be exercised at any time on or after __ for up to ____% of the total number of shares subject to the Option and thereafter pursuant to the following schedule until the total number of shares subject to the Option are fully exercisable:


Vesting Date

 

Percent of Initial Award Vested

 

 

 

Thus, this Option is fully exercisable on or after __ years from the Date of Grant. This Option shall terminate and is not exercisable after 10 years from the Date of Grant (the “Scheduled Termination Date”). This Option shall be adjusted for any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend or distribution, supplemental offering of shares, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances. No fractional shares shall be issued or delivered.

In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined below) of the Company, your option may, from and after the date of the Change of Control, and notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, be exercised for up to 100% of the total number of shares then subject to the option minus the number of shares previously purchased upon exercise of the option (as adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares and what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances) and your vesting date may accelerate accordingly. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the happening of any of the following events:

1.

A change within a twelve-month period in the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company; or

2.

Any other event deemed to constitute a “Change of Control” by the Committee.

You may exercise your option by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company on forms supplied by the Company at its then principal executive office, accompanied by payment of the option price for the total number of shares you specify that you wish to purchase. The payment may be in any of the following forms: (a) cash, which may be evidenced by a check and includes cash received from a stock brokerage firm in a so-called “cashless exercise”; (b) unless prohibited by the Committee, certificates representing shares of Common Stock, which will be valued by the Secretary of the Company at the fair market value per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with the Plan) on the date of delivery of such certificates to the Company, accompanied by an assignment of the stock to the Company; or (c) unless prohibited by the Committee, any combination of cash and Common Stock valued as provided in clause (b). The use of the so-called “attestation procedure” to exercise a stock option may be permitted by the Committee. Any assignment of stock shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Secretary of the Company, including guarantees of signature(s) and payment of all transfer taxes if the Secretary deems such guarantees necessary or desirable.

Your option will, to the extent not previously exercised by you, terminate three months after the date on which you cease for any reason to be a director of, or consultant to, the Company or a subsidiary corporation (whether by death, disability, resignation, removal, failure to be reappointed, reelected or otherwise, or the expiration of any consulting arrangement, and regardless of whether the failure to continue as a director or



E-15





consultant was for cause or without cause or otherwise), but in no event later than ten years from the date this option is granted. After the date you cease to be a director or consultant, you may exercise this option only for the number of shares which you had a right to purchase and did not purchase on the date you ceased to be a director or consultant. If you are a director of a subsidiary corporation, your directorship shall be deemed to have terminated on the date such company ceases to be a subsidiary corporation, unless you are also a director of the Company or another subsidiary corporation, or on that date became a director of the Company or another subsidiary corporation. Your directorship or consultancy shall not be deemed to have terminated if you cease being a director of, or consultant to, the Company or a subsidiary corporation but are or concurrently therewith become (a) a director of, or consultant to, the Company or another subsidiary corporation or (b) an employee of the Company or a subsidiary corporation.

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, transfer of assets, reorganization, conversion or what the Committee deems in its sole discretion to be similar circumstances, the number and kind of shares subject to this option and the option price of such shares shall be appropriately adjusted in a manner to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this option, in the event of a sale or a proposed sale of the majority of the stock or assets of the Company or a proposed Change of Control, the Committee shall have the right to terminate this option upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you, subject to your right to exercise such option to the extent vested prior to such termination.

Except for transfers to __________ under the terms set forth in the Plan, this option is not transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your lifetime only by you, including, for this purpose, your legal guardian or custodian in the event of disability. Until the option price has been paid in full pursuant to due exercise of this option and the purchased shares are delivered to you, you do not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company. The Company reserves the right not to deliver to you the shares purchased by virtue of the exercise of this option during any period of time in which the Company deems, in its sole discretion, that such delivery would violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this option is not exercisable until all the following events occur and during the following periods of time:

(a)

Until the Plan pursuant to which this option is granted is approved by the shareholders of the Company in the manner prescribed by the Code and the regulations thereunder;

(b)

Until this option and the optioned shares are approved and/or registered with such federal, state and local regulatory bodies or agencies and securities exchanges as the Company may deem necessary or desirable;

(c)

During any period of time in which the Company deems that the exercisability of this option, the offer to sell the shares optioned hereunder, or the sale thereof, may violate a federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law, or may cause the Company to be legally obligated to issue or sell more shares than the Company is legally entitled to issue or sell; or

(d)

Until you have paid or made suitable arrangements to pay (which may include payment through the surrender of Common Stock, unless prohibited by the Committee) (i) all federal, state and local income tax withholding required to be withheld by the Company in connection with the option exercise and (ii) your portion of other federal, state and local payroll and other taxes due in connection with the option exercise.

The following two paragraphs shall be applicable if, on the date of exercise of this option, the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such exercise has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities laws, and shall continue to be applicable for so long as such registration has not occurred:

(a)

The optionee hereby agrees, warrants and represents that he will acquire the Common Stock to be issued hereunder for his own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or other distribution of any of such shares, except as hereafter permitted. The optionee further agrees that he will not at any time make any offer, sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of such Common Stock to be issued hereunder without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any



E-16





applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company to the effect that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration. The optionee shall execute such instruments, representations, acknowledgements and agreements as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable to avoid any violation of federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

(b)

The certificates for Common Stock to be issued to the optionee hereunder shall bear the following legend:

The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration.”

The foregoing legend shall be removed upon registration of the legended shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state laws or upon receipt of any opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that said registration is no longer required.

The sole purpose of the agreements, warranties, representations and legend set forth in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is to prevent violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws.

Any dispute or disagreement between you and the Company with respect to any portion of this option or its validity, construction, meaning, performance or your rights hereunder shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor, as amended from time to time. However, prior to submission to arbitration you will attempt to resolve any disputes or disagreements with the Company over this option amicably and informally, in good faith, for a period not to exceed two weeks. Thereafter, the dispute or disagreement will be submitted to arbitration. At any time prior to a decision from the arbitrator(s) being rendered, you and the Company may resolve the dispute by settlement. You and the Company shall equally share the costs charged by the American Arbitration Association or its successor, but you and the Company shall otherwise be solely responsible for your own respective counsel fees and expenses. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be made in writing, setting forth the award, the reasons for the decision and award and shall be binding and conclusive on you and the Company. Further, neither you nor the Company shall appeal any such award. Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the award and may be enforced as such in accordance with the provisions of the award.

This option shall be subject to the terms of the Plan in effect on the date this option is granted, which terms are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this option and the terms of the Plan in effect on the date of this option, the terms of the Plan shall govern. This option constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and no amendment, supplement or waiver of this option, in whole or in part, shall be binding upon the Company unless in writing and signed by the President of the Company. This option and the performances of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

1.

Share Award. The Company hereby awards the Grantee __________ shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to the Plan, as the same may from time to time be amended, and upon the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions therein and hereinafter set forth. A copy of the Plan as currently in effect is incorporated herein by reference and is attached hereto.

2.

Restrictions on Transfer and Restricted Period. During the period (the “Restricted Period”) commencing on the Award Date and terminating on __________, 20__, the Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered by the Grantee, except as hereinafter provided.

Except as set forth below, the Restricted Period with respect to the Shares will lapse at a rate of ____% of the initial award for every __ months of Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) completed since the Award Date according to the following schedule: __________. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Committee referred to in Section 4 of the Plan or its successor (the “Committee”) shall have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the restrictions shall lapse with respect to any Shares thereto, or to remove any or all of such restriction, whenever the Committee may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws, or other changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of the Restricted Period.

3.

Termination of Service. Except as provided in Section 9 below, if the Grantee ceases to maintain “Continuous Service” (as defined in the Plan) for any reason other than death or disability, all Shares which at the time of such termination of Continuous Service are subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 2 above shall upon such termination of Continuous Service be forfeited to the Company. If the Grantee ceases to maintain “Continuous Service” (as defined in the Plan) by reason of death or disability, the Shares then still subject to restrictions imposed by Section 2 will be free of those restrictions and shall not be forfeited.

4.

Certificates for the Shares. The Company shall issue a certificate (or certificates) in the name of the Grantee with respect to the Shares, and shall hold such certificate (or certificates) on deposit for the account of the Grantee until the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to the Shares represented thereby. Such certificate (or certificates) shall bear the following restricted legend (the “Restricted Legend”):

The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) contained in the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan of Sun American Bancorp Copies of such Plan are on file in the office of the Secretary of Sun American Bancorp, 3400 Coral Way, Miami, Florida 33145.

The Grantee further agrees that simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement, the Grantee shall execute stock powers in favor of the Company with respect to the Shares and that the Grantee shall promptly deliver such stock powers to the Company.

The following two paragraphs shall be applicable if, on the Award Date, the Common Stock subject to such Award has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under applicable state securities laws, and shall continue to be applicable for so long as such registration has not occurred:

The Grantee hereby agrees, warrants and represents that Grantee is acquiring the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement for Grantee’s own account for investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or in connection with, any resale or other distribution of any of such shares, except as hereafter permitted. The Grantee further agrees that Grantee will not at any time make any offer, sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of such Common Stock to be issued hereunder without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the



E-19





Company to the effect that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration. The Grantee shall execute such instruments, representations, acknowledgments and agreements as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable to avoid any violation of federal, state, local or securities exchange rule, regulation or law.

The certificates for Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following securities legend (the “Securities Legend”):

The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws. The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that the proposed transaction will be exempt from such registration.

The Securities Legend shall be removed upon registration of the legended shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and under any applicable state laws or upon receipt of any opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that said registration is no longer required.

The sole purpose of the agreements, warranties, representations and legend set forth in the two immediately preceding paragraphs is to prevent violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws.

5.

Grantee’s Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Grantee, as owner of the Shares, shall have all rights of a shareholder. During any Restricted Period, the Grantee shall be entitled to vote such Shares as to which the Restricted Period has not yet lapsed or expired (the “Restricted Shares”) in Grantee’s sole discretion, at any annual and special meetings of the shareholders of the Company and at any continuations and adjournments of such meetings, upon any matters coming before such meetings or adjournments.

6.

Cash Dividends. Cash dividends, if any, paid on the Restricted Shares shall be held by the Company for the account of the Grantee and paid to the Grantee upon the expiration of the Restricted Period or upon the death or disability of the Grantee. All such withheld dividends shall earn interest at an annual rate determined by the Committee.

7.

Expiration of Restricted Period. Upon the lapse or expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any portion of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Grantee (or in the case of a deceased Grantee, to Grantee’s legal representative) the certificate in respect of such Shares and the related stock powers held by the Company pursuant to Section 4 above. The Shares as to which the Restricted Period shall have lapsed or expired shall be free of the restrictions referred to in Section 2 above and such certificate shall not bear the Restricted Legend provided for in Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities Legend described in Section 4 shall continue to be included on the certificates as long as registration has not occurred.

8.

Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization of the Company. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, or any change in the corporate structure of the Company or in the shares of Common Stock, the number and class of Shares covered by this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in the same manner as other outstanding shares are adjusted. Any shares of Common Stock or other securities received, as a result of the foregoing, by the Grantee with respect to Shares subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2 above also shall be subject to such restrictions and the certificate or other instruments representing or evidencing such shares or securities shall be legended and deposited with the Company in the manner provided in Section 4 above.

9.

Change in Control. If the “Continuous Service” (as defined in the Plan) of the Grantee is involuntarily terminated for whatever reason, other than for cause (as defined by the Committee), at any time within 18 months of a “change in control” (as defined in the Plan), the Restricted Period with respect to all Shares shall lapse upon such termination and all Shares shall become fully vested in the Grantee.



E-20





10.

Delivery and Registration of Shares of Common Stock. The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares hereunder shall be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the Grantee or any other person to whom such Shares are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other Federal, state or local securities legislation or regulation. Any representation regarding investment intent shall become inoperative upon the registration of such shares or other action eliminating the necessity of such representation under such Securities Act or other securities regulation.

The Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares under the Plan prior to the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation, as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

11.

Plan and Plan Interpretations as Controlling. The Shares hereby awarded and the terms and conditions herein set forth are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are controlling. All determinations and interpretations by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee or Grantee’s legal representatives with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the Plan.

12.

Grantee Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s service as an officer or employee, or otherwise impose upon the Company or any of its Affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services of the Grantee.

13.

Withholding and Social Security Taxes. Upon the termination of any Restricted Period with respect to any Shares (or any such earlier time, if any, that an election is made under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, to include the value of such Shares in taxable income), the Company shall have the right to withhold from the Grantee’s compensation an amount sufficient to fulfill its or its Affiliate’s obligations for any applicable withholding and employment taxes. Alternatively, the Company may require the Grantee to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is required to withhold with respect to the Shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice a sufficient number of Shares to cover the amount required to be withheld. The Company shall withhold from any cash dividends paid on the Restricted Stock an amount sufficient to cover taxes owed as a result of the dividend payment. The Company’s method of satisfying its withholding obligations shall be solely in the discretion of the Company, subject to applicable federal, state and local laws.

14.

Tax Consequences. Grantee has reviewed with Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands that Grantee (and not Company) shall be responsible for Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes (as ordinary income) the fair market value of the Shares as of the date any “restrictions” on the Shares lapse. To the extent that a grant hereunder is not otherwise an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), with respect to officers, directors and 10% shareholders, a “restriction” on the Shares includes for these purposes the period after the grant of the Shares during which such officers, directors and 10% shareholders could be subject to suit under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act. Alternatively, Grantee understands that Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are granted rather than when the restrictions on the Shares lapse, or the Section 16(b) period expires, by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the I.R.S. within 30 days from the date of grant.

GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION AVAILABLE TO GRANTEE UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE, EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THAT THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

15.

Arbitration. Any dispute or disagreement between Grantee and the Company with respect to any portion of this Agreement or its validity, construction, meaning, performance or Grantee’s rights hereunder shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or its successor, as amended from time to time by a sole arbitrator. However, prior to submission to arbitration Grantee agrees to attempt to resolve any disputes or disagreements with the Company over this Agreement amicably and informally, in good faith, for a period not to exceed 14 days. Thereafter, the dispute or



E-21





disagreement will be submitted to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be independent and impartial, mutually acceptable to the parties and appointed by AAA. The arbitration shall be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or such other location as the parties may agree. At any time prior to a decision from the sole arbitrator being rendered, Grantee and the Company may resolve the dispute by settlement. The Grantee and the Company shall equally share the arbitrator’s fee and the costs charged by the AAA or its successor, but Grantee and the Company shall otherwise be solely responsible for their own respective counsel fees and expenses. The decision of the sole arbitrator shall be made in writing, setting forth the award, the reasons for the decision and award and shall be binding and conclusive on Grantee and the Company. Further, neither Grantee nor the Company shall appeal any such award. Judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction may be entered upon the Award and may be enforced as such in accordance with the provisions of the Award.

16.

Amendment/Choice of Law. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and the Grantee with respect to the subject matter hereof and no amendment, supplement or waiver of this Agreement, in whole or in part, shall be binding upon the Company unless in writing and signed by the President of the Company. This Agreement and the performances of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.

17.

Grantee Acceptance. The Grantee shall signify Grantee’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by signing in the space provided below and signing the attached stock powers and returning a signed copy of this Agreement and the original attached stock powers to the Company. IF A FULLY EXECUTED COPY HEREOF AND THE ATTACHED STOCK POWERS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY HAS THE RIGHT TO REVOKE THIS AWARD, AND AVOID ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Accordingly, such shares of the Company issued in connection with the exercise of options, shall be entitled to be exchanged for a Beneficial Interest under this Liquidating Trust Agreement to the same extent as other shares of the Company.

3.3

Death of Beneficiary. The death or incapacity of the holder of a certificate issued by the Trustee hereunder shall not cause the termination of this Liquidating Trust Agreement nor entitle the legal representatives of such deceased or incapacitated holder to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceedings in court for the distribution of the Trust Assets or for a partition thereof, nor otherwise affect the rights and obligations of any certificate holder; but the legal representatives of any deceased or incapacitated certificate holder shall succeed to the interest of such certificate holder.

Successor Trustee. In the event that the initial Trustee resigns, is removed or otherwise is unable or ceases to serve, George H. Scholl, Jr. shall serve as Successor Trustee. If George H. Scholl, Jr. is unable or unwilling to serve as Successor Trustee, the Successor Trustee shall be selected by the Beneficiaries holding a majority of the Beneficial Interests in the Trust. Successor Trustees will have all powers granted to the original Trustee.

5.5

Relationships, Conflicts and other Matters Relating to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything provided for in this Trust, the APA or applicable law, the following conditions shall apply to the Trustee and his relationship with the Trust, Trust Assets, and the Beneficiaries.

(a)

Certain Other Relationships. An Affiliate of the Trustee may be retained by the Trust and may act as a consultant, law firm or other services provider to or with respect to the Trust, provided in each case that any fees or other compensation payable to such Affiliate shall be reasonably consistent with customary fees received by third parties for similar services.

(b)

Transactions with Affiliates. The Trust may enter into contracts and transactions with any Affiliate of the Trustee not otherwise specifically permitted by this Trust, provided that the terms of any such contract or transaction are commercially reasonable and not less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length negotiations with unrelated third parties.

(c)

Other Activities. The Trustee shall devote so much of his time to the affairs of the Trust as the conduct of its business shall reasonably require, and the Trustee shall not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the Trust not expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust, the Trustee and any of his Affiliates may (i) serve on boards of directors of public and private companies, including SAB or any other bank or bank holding company, and retain fees for such services for his or her own account; (ii) engage in such civic, professional, industry, and eleemosynary activities as the Trustee shall choose; (iii) conduct and manage his or her personal and family investment activities. Except as otherwise specifically prohibited by this Trust, the Trustee and any of his Affiliates may engage independently or with others in other investments or business ventures of any kind, including without limitation, directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling, holding, or otherwise dealing with any stock or securities of SAB or SB. No Beneficiary shall have any right to participate in any manner in any profits or income earned, derived by or accruing to the Trustee or any of his Affiliates from the conduct of any business or from any transaction in stock or securities effected by the Trustee or any of his Affiliates with respect to any account other than that of the Trust.

(d)

Potential Conflicts of Interest. While the Trustee intends to avoid situations involving conflicts of interest, each Beneficiary acknowledges that there may be situations in which the interests of the Trust may conflict with the interests of the Trustee or his Affiliates. Each Beneficiary agrees that the activities of the Trustee and his Affiliates expressly authorized by or described in this Trust may be engaged in by the Trustee and his Affiliate, as the case may be, and will not, in any case or in the aggregate, be deemed a breach of this Trust, the Trustee’s fiduciary obligations or any duty owed by any such Person to the Trust or to any Beneficiary.

(e)

Actual Conflicts of Interest. On any issue involving conflicts of interest not provided for elsewhere in this Trust, the Trustee will be guided by his good faith judgment as to the best interests of the Trust and the Beneficiaries and shall take such actions as are determined by the Trustee to be necessary or appropriate to ameliorate any such conflict of interest. In pursuit of the foregoing, the Trustee may (but shall not be required to) take one or more of the following actions:

(i)

appoint an independent Person to make a determination with respect to any matter as to which a conflict of interest exists or may exist;

(ii)

appoint an independent Person selected by the Trustee to manage the Trust’s assets in question;

(iii)

appoint an independent Person to manage the assets in question of the entity with which the conflict of interest arises;

(iv)

dispose of the asset in question by the Trust on terms that are determined by the Trustee (in the good faith exercise of its judgment) to be the best available commercial terms under the circumstances, or providing for the disposition by the entity with which the conflict of interest has arisen of the property giving rise to such conflict of interest; or



H-5





(v)

obtain an independent opinion, report or appraisal that the fees or other compensation payable to any Person are reasonably consistent with current and customary fees received by third parties or that the terms of any contract or transaction are commercially reasonable and not less favorable than could be obtained in arm’s-length negotiations with unrelated third parties.

If the Trustee carries out one or more of the actions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) in respect of a matter giving rise to a conflict of interest, neither the Trustee nor any Affiliates shall have any liability to the Trust or any Beneficiary for actions in respect of such matter taken in good faith by them in respect of such matter, except to the extent that it shall have been determined ultimately by a court of competent jurisdiction that losses incurred due to such action arose from the Disabling Conduct of such Person.

(f)

Trustee as Beneficiary. The Beneficiaries acknowledge and agree that the Trustee, on his own behalf or in a representative or fiduciary capacity, may be a Beneficiary to the same extent as if he were not a Trustee hereunder.

ARTICLE VI

(a)

To hold legal title to the Trust Assets;

(b)

(d)

To contract for and to borrow money, hedge or otherwise establish an offsetting derivative position, and pledge all or a portion of the Trust Assets as collateral therefor, in such amounts as the Trustee deems advisable for any trust purpose (including, but without limitation, payment of expenses, claims or any obligations of the Trust or the Company resulting from the APA or otherwise, and protecting or conserving any portion of the Trust Assets) and, in connection therewith, to draw, make, accept, endorse, execute, issue and deliver promissory notes, drafts and other negotiable or transferable instruments and evidence of indebtedness and all renewals or extensions of the same; provided that no person other than the Trust shall have any liability with respect to any such borrowing;

(h)

To ask, demand, and receive the principal sum, and the interest due, or to become due, upon any promissory note constituting part of the Trust Assets, and upon receipt of such principal sum or of the interest thereon, to execute and deliver a receipt therefor and to surrender the appropriate note;

(p)

To invest amounts received by it as Trustee, pending distribution, but such investment powers shall be limited to powers to invest in demand and time deposits in banks or savings institutions, or in temporary investments such as short-term certificates of deposit or Treasury bills;

ARTICLE VIII
CONDITIONS OF TRUST

8.1

The Trustee hereby accepts this Trust as created by this Liquidating Trust Agreement and agrees to execute the Trust upon the conditions hereof, including the following:

(a)

The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any assessments, charges, or damages, or for any obligations in carrying out or effectuating the purpose of this Trust, provided, however, that nothing shall relieve the Trustee from liabilities arising out of his own Disabling Conduct;

(b)

The Beneficiaries shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law and as specified in Section 8.2 below, the Trustee against any and all actions, claims, proceedings, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities arising from or in connection with this Liquidating Trust Agreement;

(c)

The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the validity or sufficiency of this Trust;

(d)

The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any paper or document believed by him to be genuine;

(e)

The Trustee may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, or other professionals and any act or failure to act done or omitted in good faith in accordance with the opinion of any such person shall create no liability on the part of the Trustee;



H-8





(f)

The Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any agents or attorneys elected or appointed by or acting for him if such agents or attorneys are selected with reasonable care; and

(g)

The Trustee shall serve without bond, may receive reasonable compensation for his services hereunder and reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in the performance of the Trustee’s duties hereunder.

8.2

Indemnification.

(a)

Indemnification Generally. The Trust and each Beneficiary (currently or in the future) shall and hereby does, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and release each Covered Person from and against all Claims, that may accrue to or be incurred by any Covered Person, or in which any Covered Person may become involved, as a party or otherwise, or with which any Covered Person may be threatened, relating to or arising out of the business and affairs of, or activities undertaken in connection with, Beach Bank or this Trust (including, but not limited to, Claims arising out of the Transaction or Regulatory Claims), or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Trust or the APA (in the case of the Trustee or Shareholder Representative or their successors, whether such Claims are brought while they are serving in such capacities or after termination of their duties as a Trustee or Shareholder Representative), including, but not limited to, amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines or penalties, and counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation for or defense or disposition of any investigation, action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding (a “Proceeding”), whether civil or criminal (all of such Claims and amounts covered by and expenses incurred relating to this Section 8.2 as “Damages”), except to the extent that it shall have been determined ultimately by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Damages (i) with respect to Disabling Conduct other than Gross Negligence, arose from such Disabling Conduct of such Covered Person, and (ii) with respect to Disabling Conduct constituting Gross Negligence, arose from and were more than 10% attributable to such Disabling Conduct of such Covered Person. The termination of any Proceeding by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such Covered Person has engaged in Disabling Conduct or that any Damages relating to such settlement arose from the Disabling Conduct of any Covered Person.

(b)

Expenses. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defense or settlement of any Claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder may be advanced by the Trust prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined ultimately by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder. The right of any Covered Person to the indemnification provided herein shall be cumulative with, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Covered Person may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Covered Person’s successors, assigns and legal representatives. All judgments against the Trust, and all judgments against the Trustee in respect of which the Trustee is entitled to indemnification, shall first be satisfied from Trust Assets before the Trustee is responsible therefore.

(c)

Notices of Claims. Promptly after receipt by a Covered Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, such Covered Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Trust, give written notice to the Trust of the commencement of such Proceeding, provided that the failure of any Covered Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Trust of its obligations under this Section 8.2(c) except to the extent that the Trust is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such Proceeding is brought against a Covered Person (other than a derivative suit in right of Beach Bank), the Trust will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof to the extent that the Trust may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Covered Person. After notice from the Trust to such Covered Person of the Trust’s election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the Trust will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Covered Person in connection with the defense thereof. The Trust will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Covered Person of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim.

(d)

Indemnification of Covered Persons. In accordance with Section 8.2(a), the Trust and each Beneficiary (currently or in the future) hereby instructs the Trustee to cause the Trust to indemnify, hold harmless and release each Covered Person (including the Trustee), and authorizes the Trustee, in his sole discretion, to cause the Trust to indemnify, hold harmless and release any other Person (including the Trustee), including any former officer or employee of Beach Bank, in each case pursuant to a separate agreement. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Section 8.2 for the indemnification of Covered Persons may be relied



H-9





upon by such Covered Persons and may be enforced by such Covered Persons (or by the Trustee on behalf of any such Covered Person, provided that the Trustee shall not have any obligation to so act for or on behalf of any such Covered Person) against the Trust pursuant to this Liquidating Trust Agreement or to a separate indemnification agreement, as if such Covered Persons were parties hereto and that any conflicting indemnification provisions contained herein are interpreted broadly in favor of indemnification of a Covered Person.

(e)

Indemnification of Former Officers. The Trust and each Beneficiary (currently or in the future) hereby grants the Trustee the authority to indemnify or cause the Trust to indemnify, hold harmless and release any former Officer, in each case pursuant to a separate agreement. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Section 8.2(e) for the indemnification of former Officers of the Company be exercised in the Trustee’s sole discretion and nothing contained herein shall require the Trustee to so indemnify any former Officer.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT, TERMINATION OF TRUST

9.1

Amendment or Revocation. The Beneficiaries may, at any time by affirmative action of sixty-six percent (66%) of the Beneficial Interests of the Trust, alter, amend or revoke this Liquidating Trust Agreement in whole or in part. Any alteration or amendment which shall affect the duties of the Trustee hereunder shall not be effective until consented to in writing by the Trustee. Upon any revocation of this Trust, the Trustee, as soon as practicable, shall distribute all of the Trust Assets, including any cash and the rights to any noncash assets held by the Trustee, to the Beneficiaries in accordance with their respective Beneficial Interests, provided, however, that no such amendment shall permit the Trustee to engage in any activity prohibited by Section 6.1 or affect the Beneficiaries’ right to receive their Beneficial Interest in the Trust at the time or times of distribution. Upon any revocation of this Trust, the Trustee may satisfy, out of the Trust Assets, all reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, of effecting the complete distribution of the Trust Assets to the Beneficiaries.

9.2

Termination of Trust; Discharge of Trustee. Upon collection and/or disposition of the Trust Assets and payment of all sums received and collected by Trustee to the Beneficiaries, the Trustee shall thereupon be fully released and discharged and his duties shall cease. This Trust shall terminate, and all remaining property shall be distributed to certificate holders at such time as the purposes for the trust have been satisfied and the Trustee, in his sole discretion, determined that existing and/or potential claims (including Regulatory Claims) have been satisfied.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1

Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of federal and other taxes based on income, the Beneficiaries will be treated as the owners of the Liquidating Trust and the Trust Assets and the Beneficiaries will report all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the Trust Assets as their income in the taxable year or years in which such income is properly includible. To the extent that the powers of the Trustee hereunder are, at anytime, determined to be insufficient to maintain the status of the Trust as a liquidating trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, then the powers of the Trustee shall be automatically increased or automatically decreased, without further amendment or modification of this Liquidating Trust Agreement, in such proportion as shall be necessary to fully comply with any and all Internal Revenue Service rules, regulations, guidance, and directives for maintaining such liquidating trust status.

10.2

Construction. This Liquidating Trust Agreement shall be interpreted and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its conflicts of law principles).

10.3

Benefit. This Liquidating Trust Agreement shall be binding upon the respective parties thereto, their heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. A corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may, in advance of the final disposition of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any officer or director in defending such action, provided that the officer or director undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided by the DGCL is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any corporation’s bylaws, agreement, vote or otherwise.

Section EIGHTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) provides that the Company shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section SIXTH of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties unless the breach involves:  (i) a director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) liability for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemption by the Company, or (iv) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company provide that the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as may be amended from time to time, (i) indemnify any officer or director of the Company or the personal representatives thereof, made or threatened to be made a party in any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Company or served any other enterprise in any capacity at the request of the Company, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of such action or proceeding or any appeal therein, and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding expenses incurred by any such indemnified person in defending such action or proceeding.

The Company purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

ITEM 22.

UNDERTAKINGS

(a)

The small business issuer hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)

Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii)

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

(2)

For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3)

File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)

The undersigned small business issuer hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the



II-4





securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(d)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-4 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the town of Boca Raton, State of Florida on September 29, 2006.
