This Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) of Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the Company’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions and are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s ability to predict projected results or the effect of events on the Company’s operating results is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in this document. Factors that could affect the Company’s assumptions and predictions include, but are not limited to, the risk that (i) loan losses would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results; (ii) a decline in the value of the collateral securing the Company’s loans could result in an increase in losses on foreclosure; (iii) the Company’s growth strategy may not be successful; (iv) the geographical concentration of the Company’s business in Florida makes it highly susceptible to local economic and business conditions; (v) changes in interest rates may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition; and (vi) competition from other financial institutions could adversely affect the Company’s profitability and growth. You should not place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise indicated, we refer to the Company, as we, us, or our, and we refer to the Company’s subsidiary, Sun American Bank, as the bank in this Form 8-K.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

We continually are presented with and seek out acquisition opportunities to enhance our banking franchise in the State of Florida. We expect to continue pursuing opportunities that may arise, although no assurance can be given as to the timing of any future acquisitions.

On May 17, 2006, we, the bank and Beach Bank entered into the Asset Acquisition and Assumption Agreement, which was subsequently amended as of November 17, 2006 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the bank acquired substantially all of the assets, less $1.0 million in cash and certain other assets, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of Beach Bank, a Florida commercial banking association (the “Acquisition Transaction”). The Acquisition Transaction closed on December 29, 2006.

Prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, Beach Bank operated a branch office in Miami Beach and South Miami, Florida. These former Beach Bank offices are now operated as offices of Sun American Bank. Beach Bank’s market included Miami-Dade County located in southeastern Florida. At September 30, 2006, Beach Bank had total assets of $127.1 million, total gross loans of $74.2 million, deposits of $116.1 million and shareholders’ equity of $9.1 million. Beach Bank had a total risk based capital ratio of 13.16% at September 30, 2006.

The acquisition transaction consideration, as defined in the Acquisition Agreement, was 3,745,740 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Acquisition Agreement. The acquisition transaction consideration was determined by multiplying 2.35 times the book value of Beach Bank calculated based upon the estimated closing balance sheet, subject to adjustment based on the final audited balance sheet as expressly provided in the Acquisition Agreement, and further determined in accordance with the procedures of the Acquisition Agreement, divided by the per share value of $5.00, which was determined based upon the procedures set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, less 200,000 shares representing the $1.0 million in cash held back by Beach Bank and not acquired by the bank.

Of the 3,745,740 shares of common stock, 25% of such shares were delivered to Beach Bank and transferred to the Beach Bank Liquidating Trust for the benefit of Beach Bank’s shareholders. The remaining 75% of such shares, less the amount of shares that corresponded to the premium for directors and officers liability insurance, which was paid at closing, were delivered to the escrow agent to be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the escrow agreement.

In addition to the Acquisition Transaction, on November 17, 2006, we, the bank and Independent Community Bank, a Florida chartered commercial bank, entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Independent Community Bank will merge with and into the bank (the “Merger Transaction”).

Independent Community Bank commenced operations in October 1998 and offers commercial and consumer loans to borrowers through its branch in Tequesta, Florida. Independent Community Bank also offers checking and savings accounts and certificates of deposit to its customers. Independent Community Bank’s market area is North Palm Beach County located in southeastern Florida. At September 30, 2006, Independent Community Bank had total assets of $122.6 million, total gross loans of $107.2 million, deposits of $98.5 million and shareholders’ equity of $13.9 million. Independent Community Bank had a total risk based capital ratio of 13.50% at September 30, 2006. Independent Community Bank is regulated by the FDIC and the Florida Department of Financial Services and its deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC. There can be no assurances that the Merger Transaction will be completed as the respective obligations of each party to effect the Merger Transaction are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to closing, of several conditions.

The Merger Agreement provides that each Independent Community Bank shareholder may elect to receive 6.4463 shares of our common stock, or a cash payment of $34.81, or a combination of our common stock and cash, for each share of Independent Community Bank common stock owned. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger consideration for 42% of the outstanding shares of Independent Community Bank common stock must be paid in cash, and there may be allocations of cash or stock made to Independent Community Bank shareholders to ensure that this requirement is satisfied. Based on a $5.40 per share price of our common stock, assuming the cash out of all outstanding options to purchase Independent Community Bank common stock (“Independent Options”), the value of the Merger Transaction is approximately $40.9 million. We expect to issue between approximately 4,100,000 and 4,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Merger Transaction depending upon how many Independent Options are exercised prior to closing. If no Independent Options are exercised prior to closing, we will assume Independent Options to purchase up to approximately 125,401 shares of Independent Community Bank common stock (808,372 shares of our common stock on an as converted basis).

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock and warrants involves risks. You should carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this document and, in particular, the risks described below before investing in our common stock and warrants. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed and you may lose part or all of your investment. 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.

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.

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 $10.7 million at September 30, 2006, or



6





3.9% of total gross loans, and our allowance for loan losses totaled $2.9 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.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition Transaction if we cannot successfully resolve the regulatory issues that existed at Beach Bank prior to the acquisition.

The success of the Acquisition Transaction depends, in part, 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.

Unanticipated costs relating to the Merger Transaction could reduce our future earnings per share.

We believe we have reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of Independent Community Bank into Sun American Bank and the incremental costs of operating Independent Community Bank as a part of Sun American Bank. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected operating expenses, such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of our earnings per share. In other words, if the Merger Transaction is completed and we incur such unexpected costs and expenses as a result of the Merger Transaction, we believe that our earnings per share of common stock could be less than they would have been if the Merger Transaction had not been completed.

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;



7





·

diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

·

risks and expenses of entering new geographic markets;

·

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

·

loss of key employees of the acquired institution; and

·

exposure to undisclosed or unknown liabilities of an acquired institution.

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

We may be unable to successfully integrate Beach Bank’s operations and the operations of Independent Community Bank and achieve the projected cost savings and other benefits anticipated.

The Acquisition Transaction and the Merger Transaction involve the integration of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank. The difficulties of integrating the operations of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank with Sun American Bank at essentially the same time include, but are not limited to:

·

integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds;

·

combining different corporate cultures; and

·

retaining key employees.

The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of us, our subsidiary bank, Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank, the loss of key personnel, disruption of each bank’s business or inconsistencies in standards, controls and policies that could adversely affect our operations or our ability to achieve some of the cost savings or other benefits of these transactions. The integration of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank with Sun American Bank will require the experience and expertise of certain key employees of Sun American Bank and such other banks who are expected to be retained by us. We cannot be sure, however, that we will be successful in retaining these employees for the time period necessary to successfully integrate Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank operations. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the acquisitions, along with the integration of Beach Bank and Independent Community Bank, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.

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 nine months of 2006, we had net income of $2.9 million and $1.3 million, 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:



8





·

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.

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.

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 continue to grow profitably could be adversely affected by federal and state banking laws and regulations that limit the manner in which we accept deposits, make loans, purchase securities, pay dividends and engage in banking and other businesses. These laws and regulations are subject to change and such changes may adversely impact our business and profitability due to the costs related to compliance with these requirements or changes that may be required to our operations. These laws and regulations are intended primarily to protect depositors, not stockholders. In 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 our operations.

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

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

From time to time we are subject to litigation, 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.

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 were 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. No specific damage amount was alleged in the complaint. 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 this lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit. Due to the inherent uncertainties in litigation and because the ultimate resolution of this proceeding 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 this lawsuit, 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

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 merger 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 January 10, 2007, 23,181,643 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. We have reserved approximately an additional 13,231,349 shares of common stock for issuance in connection with previously issued securities that are exercisable or convertible into common stock, which represents 57% of our outstanding common stock. We also have reserved 5,969,633 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.

Due to the issuance of up to 4,600,000 shares of our common stock and assumption of options to purchase up to approximately 125,401 shares of Independent Community Bank common stock, which can be converted into 808,372 shares of our common stock at the effective time of the Merger Transaction, the outstanding shares of our common stock would be subject to further dilution. As of January 10, 2007, we had approximately 7,417,375 shares of our common stock available for future issuances, which issuances would cause further dilution.

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

Our stock price may be depressed by future sales of our shares of common stock or the perception that future sales may occur. As of January 10, 2007, 23,181,643 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, of which 14,544,171 shares have previously been registered with the SEC. As of January 10, 2007, 13,613,106 shares issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants have been registered for resale with the SEC, including 3,881,060 shares underlying options issued under our Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, our Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan and our Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan, 4,857,100 shares underlying Series D common stock purchase warrants, 4,084,358 shares underlying Series F common stock purchase warrants, 50,000 shares underlying Series G common stock purchase warrants and 740,588 shares underlying 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.

Due to the issuance of up to 4,600,000 shares of our common stock and assumption of options to purchase up to approximately 125,401 shares of Independent Community Bank common stock, which can be converted into 808,372 shares of our common stock at the effective time of the Merger Transaction, and due to 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, which additional shares we intend to register with the SEC, an increased number of shares of our common stock 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.

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 September 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.

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 by Sun American Bancorp to illustrate the effects of the acquisition transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 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 statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values and the estimated closing balance sheet delivered to Sun American Bancorp by Beach Bank prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction.  Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, Beach Bank must prepare and deliver to Sun American Bancorp a final audited balance sheet as of the date prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements do not reflect additional adjustments that may be required based on the final audited balance sheet, such as any adjustments that may result from events occurring subsequent to the date of the estimated closing balance sheet, including the $800,000 civil money penalty assessed against Beach Bank on December 27, 2006. The actual amounts recorded based on the final audited balance sheet 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 could cause material differences in the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 has been derived from the unaudited interim financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank. 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. 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. 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.

e)

Issuance of Sun American Bancorp common stock to purchase substantially all of the assets, and assume substantially all of the liabilities, of Beach Bank. The estimated number of shares for issuance is calculated as proceeds of $8,395 (capital as reflected in the estimated closing balance sheet) times 2.35 less $1.0 million of excluded assets and the payment of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premium ($207), all divided by $5.00 per share, which equals 3,704,000 shares.

(f)

The purchase accounting adjustments do not reflect additional adjustments that may be required based on the Beach Bank final audited balance sheet, such as any adjustments that may result from events occurring subsequent to the date of the estimated closing balance sheet, including the $800,000 civil money penalty assessed against Beach Bank on December 27, 2006.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon historical financial information of Sun American Bancorp and Beach Bank giving effect to the acquisition transaction and other related adjustments described in these footnotes. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition transaction actually taken place during the periods or at the dates indicated and do not purport to be indicative of future financial position or results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements.

The acquisition transaction will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income combine the historical consolidated statement of income of Sun American Bancorp and historical statement of income of Beach Bank, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, giving effect to the acquisition transaction and related events as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Sun American Bancorp and the historical balance sheet of Beach Bank, giving effect to the acquisition transaction and related events as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of income do not give effect to any anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements in connection with the acquisition transaction.

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

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on the historical financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Independent Community Bank and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger transaction. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 give effect to the the merger 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 merger transaction. Any excess purchase price is recorded as goodwill.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values. The actual amounts recorded as of the closing of the merger 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 merger transaction and other changes in Independent Community Bank’s net tangible and intangible assets that occur prior to the closing of merger transaction could cause material differences in the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 has been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income of Sun American Bancorp that has been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Beach Bank and the unaudited interim financial statements of Independent Community Bank included elsewhere in this document. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005 is based on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income of Sun American Bancorp that has been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Beach Bank and the audited financial statements of Independent Community Bank included elsewhere in this document. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income give effect to the merger transaction as if each 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 merger transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Sun American Bancorp that have been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Beach Bank have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values and the estimated closing balance sheet delivered to Sun American Bancorp by Beach Bank prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, Beach Bank must prepare and deliver to Sun American Bancorp a final audited balance sheet as of the date prior to the closing of the acquisition transaction. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Sun American Bancorp that have been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Beach Bank do not reflect additional adjustments that may be required based on the final audited balance sheet, such as any adjustments that may result from events occurring subsequent to the date of the estimated closing balance sheet, including the $800,000 civil money penalty assessed against Beach Bank on December 27, 2006. The actual amounts recorded based on the final audited balance sheet may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Sun American Bancorp that have been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Beach Bank. In addition, the impact of ongoing integration activities could cause material differences in the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be considered together with the historical financial statements of Sun American Bancorp and Independent Community Bank, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this document. The pro forma information is based on certain assumptions described in the accompanying notes to 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 merger transaction been consummated during the periods or as of the date for which the pro forma information is presented.

Asset Quality

Beach Bank’s earning asset portfolio (exclusive of investment securities) was generally split into six categories, five of which were types of loans, and the sixth was other, which included overdrafts. Loan concentrations were defined as loans outstanding that were segregated into similar collateral types and/or nature of cash-flow income generation, which may have caused a correspondingly similar impact with a particular economic or other condition.

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

Regulatory Classification of Assets

Generally, interest on loans was accrued and credited to income based on the outstanding balance of the contract obligations of each loan or receivable contract. It was Beach Bank’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify loans or assets as non-accrual when principal or interest was past due 90 days or more and/or the loan was not properly and/or adequately collateralized, or if in the belief of management, principal and/or interest was not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation and/or documentation. As of September 30, 2006, there were no delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days and impaired loans totaled $4.0 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 were classified as other real estate owned, or OREO, if real estate, or in other assets, if other property, until they were sold. When property was acquired, it was initially recorded at fair value at date of acquisition. Subsequent to foreclosure, foreclosed assets were 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 September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.



28





Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consisted of loans that were past due 90 days or more and 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 September 30, 2006 and the dates indicated below:

Investment Activities

Beach Bank was 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. Beach Bank was a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank and was required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Under state and federal regulations, a certain amount of the investments were required to be liquid in nature.

SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“FAS 115”) 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.

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



30





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 could have been used to collateralize certain of Beach Bank’s liabilities and obligations.

Valuation of Securities

Beach Bank recorded securities available-for-sale in its statement of financial condition at fair value. Beach Bank used 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 does not necessarily represent actual transactions. The number of shares that Beach Bank owned in some of these equity securities may have been in excess of the securities average daily trading volume. As a consequence, Beach Bank may not have been able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. Equity securities available-for-sale were 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 were other than temporary resulted in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value.

At September 30, 2006, the fair value and net unrealized gain associated with Beach Bank’s securities available-for-sale was $500,200 and $200, 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 were 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 included a variety of checking accounts, such as interest-earning, low-cost checking, and senior checking. Savings accounts were also offered.

Certificates of Deposit

Legal Proceedings

Beach Bank was periodically party 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 its business. As of December 29, 2006, Beach Bank’s management did not believe that



32





there were any pending proceedings against Beach Bank that, if determined adversely, would have a materially adverse effect on its business or financial position.

On October 5, 2004, Beach Bank consented to enter into an Order to Cease and Desist (the “Order”) 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.

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 1 Leverage Capital ratio of not less than 7%, a Tier 1 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 of Beach Bank believed that at December 31, 2005, Beach Bank had made significant progress in complying with the terms of the Order. On December 27, 2006, the FDIC, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation assessed an $800,000 civil money penalty against Beach Bank for alleged violations of anti-money laundering laws, which were cited in the Order. Sun American Bank is not subject to the Order and Sun American Bancorp did not assume the civil money penalty as a result of the transaction with Beach Bank. See “Beach Bank’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” for additional information regarding the Order.

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

Overview

Prior to the asset acquisition of Beach Bank by Sun American Bank in December 2006, Beach Bank was a “community based” state-chartered commercial bank that provided 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 was derived, was Miami-Dade County. It operated two branches located at 555 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, Florida  33140 and 8099 South Dixie Highway, South Miami, Florida  33143. These former Beach Bank offices are now operated as offices of Sun American Bank.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Beach Bank decreased its capital base by approximately $594,206 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 September 30, 2006. There were no common share dividends declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 nor in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

On October 5, 2004, Beach Bank consented to enter into the Order 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.

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 had significant implications on the operations of Beach Bank. In order to comply with the Order, Beach Bank incurred expenses as follows:

On December 27, 2006, the FDIC, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation assessed an $800,000 civil money penalty against Beach Bank for alleged violations of anti-money laundering laws, which were cited in the Order.

As of September 30, 2006, Beach Bank had total assets of $127.1 million, total gross loans of $74.2 million, deposits of $116.1 million and shareholders’ equity of $9.1 million. Average total assets decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 by $3.4 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 7.66 % during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The average equity to average assets ratio was 8.84% in 2005 and 7.84% in 2004.

Interest-earning assets, which consisted of interest earning deposits, investment securities, gross loans, federal funds sold, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, totaled $123.9 million at September 30, 2006, a $7.2 million, or 6.17 %, increase from December 31, 2005. Interest earning assets were $116.7 million and $117.7 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

The allowance for loan losses was evaluated on a regular basis by management and was 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 have affected 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 was considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it was probable Beach Bank would not be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due. Factors considered by management in determining impairment included payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experienced insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally were not classified as impaired. Management determined 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 was 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 was collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans were collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, Beach Bank did not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. For analytical purposes, the allowance consisted of two components, Non-Specific and Specific.

Non-Specific Allowance. The methodology used in establishing non-specific allowances was based on a broad risk analysis of the portfolio. All significant portfolio segments, including concentrations, were analyzed. The amount of the non-specific allowance was based upon a statistical analysis that derived appropriate formulas, which were adjusted by management’s subjective assessment of current and future conditions. The determination included an analysis of loss and recovery experience in the various portfolio segments over at least the prior three fiscal years. Results of the historical loss analysis were adjusted to reflect current and anticipated conditions.

Specific Allowance. All significant commercial and industrial loans classified as either “substandard” or “doubtful” were reviewed at the end of each period to determine if a specific reserve was needed for that credit. The determination of a specific reserve for an impaired asset was 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 did not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve would definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It was 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 were the major source of Beach Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. Deposits were 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. Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties were established by Beach Bank on a periodic basis. The determination of rates and terms was predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal regulations.

Deposits and loan repayments were the major sources of funds for lending and other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments were a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments were influenced significantly by general interest rates and money market conditions. Beach Bank could



35





use borrowings through correspondent banks on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. Beach Bank maintained a membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which acted as an alternate source for borrowing as needed. However, Beach Bank’s line of credit with the FHLB was not available due to the existing Order from the FDIC.

Regulatory agencies required that Beach Bank maintain sufficient liquidity to operate in a sound and safe manner. The principal sources of liquidity and funding were 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 was determined through monitoring loan demand and through its asset/liability management process. Considerations in managing the liquidity position included scheduled cash flows from existing assets, contingencies and liabilities, as well as projected liquidity conducive to efficient operations and were continuously evaluated as part of the asset/liability management process. Historically, Beach Bank increased its level of deposits to allow for its planned asset growth. The level of deposits was influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, among other things.

If additional liquidity was needed, Beach Bank established a correspondent banking relationship with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida. This relationship provided Beach Bank with the ability to borrow from an unsecured line of credit to supplement liquidity up to the amount of $1.5 million. Interest was calculated on any outstanding balance at the prevailing market federal funds rate. Beach Bank also had the ability to sell investments from the portfolio under a repurchase agreement with this correspondent bank. Beach Bank also maintained a separate secured line of credit of $5.8 million with Independent Bankers Bank. Beach Bank also maintained an unsecured line of credit of $2.5 million and a secured line of credit of $12.3 million with Bankers Bank of Georgia.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

On September 24, 2001, Beach Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Beach Bank owned 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 was subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking authorities. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if not undertaken, could have had a direct material effect on the financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Beach Bank was required to meet specific capital guidelines that involved quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting policies.

The capital accounts and classifications were 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 required 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.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005

Beach Bank reported a net loss of $594,206 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to net loss of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of approximately $432,000, or 11.5%.

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 $165,000, or 15.5%, to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to increases in yields in 2006.

Interest on loans increased by $51,000, or 1.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 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.

Total interest expense increased $648,000, or 44.5%, to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 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 $190,600, or 37.7%, to $315,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $506,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of the loan portfolio and also a decrease in service charges on demand deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense decreased by $871,000, or 17.1%, to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease was due to a reduction in costs in compliance with the Order during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $738,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decreased cost was primarily due to regular asset depreciation.

Other expenses decreased $828,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease was due to lower costs and expenses in compliance with the Order during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

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



37





Provision for Income Taxes. Beach Bank was treated as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, all items of income and expense flowed through to its shareholders and no provision for income taxes was 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 nine months ended September 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.

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 6.8% in 2005, compared to 5.9% in 2004. In addition, federal funds sold yielded 3.22% in 2005, compared to 1.0% in 2004. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 5.85% for 2005, a 69 basis point increase from 5.2% 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 was treated as an S-Corporation for income tax purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, all items of income and expense flowed through to its shareholders and no provision for income taxes was reflected in the financial statements.

Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition

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

General. Total assets increased by $7.1 million from $120.0 million at December 31, 2005 to $127.1 million at September 30, 2006, with the increase invested principally in federal funds sold. The following is a discussion of the significant fluctuations between the September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 balance sheets.

Assets

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were $26.5 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of $24.4 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 $8.7 million to $25.0 million at September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Loans Receivable. Net loans receivable were $73.0 million at September 30, 2006, a decrease of $8.4 million from $81.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in net loans was the result of repayments of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. In the normal course of business, Beach Bank recognized losses resulting from the inability of certain borrowers to repay loans and the insufficient realizable value of collateral securing such loans. Accordingly, Beach Bank established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $1.0 million at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated credit losses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance was 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. Beach Bank’s allowance for loan and credit losses was analyzed and deemed to be adequate by management at September 30, 2006.

Beach Bank’s impaired loans were $4.0 million at September 30, 2006, or 5.3% 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 were classified as impaired were 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 were classified as impaired had a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardized the liquidation of the debt. The impaired assets were characterized by the distinct possibility that Beach Bank would have sustained some loss if the deficiencies were not corrected.



44





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

Total nonperforming assets decreased from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006 by $162,000, or 25%. In management’s judgment, all nonperforming assets were either fully collateralized or appropriately reserved based on circumstances known at the time.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment totaled $1.2 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to depreciation.

Liabilities

Deposits. Deposits increased to $116.1 million at September 30, 2006 from $100.9 million at December 31, 2005. The increase of 15% during the nine months ended September 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 was $1.3 million, of which $845,000 were held in certificates of deposit and $458,000 were held in demand deposits.

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements. Securities sold under repurchase agreements were $1.2 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2005. These repurchase agreements were secured by securities held by Beach Bank.

Capital

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Beach Bank was 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 13.16%, 11.91% and 7.83%, respectively, at September 30, 2006 and 13.35%, 12.09% and 8.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2005. Based on these ratios, Beach Bank was considered 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.

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.



46





Asset Quality and Non-Performing Assets. Beach Bank 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 Miami 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. Beach Bank did not have brokered deposits.

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 was 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.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, Beach Bank was 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 13.35%, 12.09% and 8.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2005 and 13.02%, 12.00% and 8.10%, respectively, at December 31, 2004.

INFORMATION ABOUT INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY BANK

General

Independent Community Bank is a “community based” state-chartered commercial bank that provides a variety of financial products and services. The primary market area for Independent Community Bank, is defined as North Palm Beach County. Independent Community Bank is the only bank with headquarters in Tequesta, FL. Independent Community Bank is strategically located so as to take advantage of the Jupiter and Tequesta target market in its market area, taking into consideration its competition. Independent Community Bank differentiates itself by its brand name, how it delivers services and its niche marketing approach. Independent Community Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC.

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

Lending Activities

Independent Community Bank’s principal lending area is North Palm Beach County, Florida. Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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 Independent Community Bank’s growth strategy involved developing new business relationships and increasing its marketing efforts. Typically, Independent Community Bank sought commercial lending relationships with customers borrowing up to $3.4 million. Independent Community Bank’s legal lending limit for secured and unsecured loans was $3.4 million and $2.1 million as of September 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 Independent Community 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.

Independent Community 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 Independent Community Bank’s GAP position and, ultimately, its profitability.

Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On August 26, 2005, the audit committee of the board of directors of Independent Community Bank dismissed Hacker, Johnson & Smith, PA, referred to as Hacker Johnson in this document, as its independent registered public accounting firm. On August 26, 2005, Independent Community Bank engaged Crowe, Chizek and Company, LLC, referred to as Crowe Chizek in this document, to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Hacker Johnson’s report on Independent Community Bank’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

In connection with the audit of Independent Community Bank’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and through August 26, 2005, there were no disagreements between Independent Community Bank and Hacker Johnson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hacker Johnson, would have caused Hacker Johnson to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on Independent Community Bank’s financial statements for such fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and through August 26, 2005, there were no reportable events, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and through August 26, 2005, neither Independent Community Bank nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted Crowe Chizek regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Independent Community Bank’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement with Hacker Johnson or event identified in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B. Independent Community Bank provided Hacker Johnson with this document prior to filing it with the SEC.

INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY BANK’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

General

Independent Community Bank is a Florida chartered commercial bank, headquartered in Tequesta, Florida. Independent Community Bank commenced operations in October 1998 and offers real estate, lines of credit and term loans through its branch office in Tequesta, Florida. It currently has its main office and corporate headquarters at 250 Tequesta Drive, Suite 101, Tequesta, Florida 33649 and an administrative office located at 2189 Cleveland Street, Suite 210, Clearwater, Florida, 33765.

Independent Community Bank offers commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential real estate, home equity, auto and boat loans. Independent Community Bank’s market area is North Palm Beach County located in southeastern Florida.  Independent Community Bank also offers checking, savings and certificates of deposit to its customers.  Independent Community 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.

Overview

As of September 30, 2006, Independent Community Bank had total assets of $122.7 million, deposits of $98.5 million, total gross loans of $107.2 million and shareholders’ equity of $13.9 million.  Average total assets increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 by $5.1 million from 2005.  Average total assets increased in 2005 by $34.3 million from 2004 due to management’s efforts to grow Independent Community Bank.  Capital growth corresponded with the overall growth of Independent Community Bank.  The average equity to average assets ratio was 10.16% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  The average equity to average assets ratio was 9.32% in 2005 and 8.54% in 2004.

Prior to entering into the acquisition agreement with Sun American Bancorp and Sun American, a primary strategy of Independent Community Bank was to increase the level of earning by improvement in the interest rate spread between earning assets and liabilities thus making an improvement in profitability. Independent Community Bank attempted to pursue an earnings improvement strategy by increasing the level of earnings on assets, earnings improvement primarily through increases in loan origination fees and adjustable rate loan origination within the communities it serves. Interest-earning assets, which consist of interest earning deposits, investment securities, gross loans, federal funds sold, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock, totaled $120.0 million at September 30, 2006, a $23.3 million, or 16%, decrease from December 31, 2005. Interest earning assets were $143.3 million and $102.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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 Independent Community 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



52





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, Independent Community 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 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.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The impact of Independent Community 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.

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 Independent Community Bank’s funds for lending and other investment activities. Deposits are attracted principally from within Independent Community 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 document. Maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by Independent Community 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. Independent Community Bank may use borrowings through correspondent banks on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources. Independent Community Bank maintains a membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank, which acts as an alternate source for borrowing as needed.

Regulatory agencies require that Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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, Independent Community 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, Independent Community Bank has established a correspondent banking relationship with several banks. These relationships provide Independent Community Bank with the ability to borrow from an unsecured line of credit to supplement liquidity up to the amount of $9.8 million. Interest is calculated on any outstanding balance at the prevailing market federal funds rate. Independent Community Bank maintains an unsecured line of credit of $3,800,000 with Alabama Bankers Bank of Birmingham, Alabama, an unsecured line of credit of $750,000 with Independent Bankers Bank of Lake Mary, Florida, an unsecured line of credit of $2,500,000 with Bankers Bank of Atlanta, Georgia, an unsecured line of credit of $1,000,000 with First American Bank of Birmingham, Alabama, and an unsecured line of credit of $1,750,000 with Suntrust Bank of Orlando, Florida

Equity and Capital Resources

Independent Community 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, Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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.

Asset Quality

Management seeks to maintain the quality of Independent Community Bank’s assets through its underwriting and lending practices. The earning asset portfolio (exclusive of investment securities) is generally split into four types of loans,, 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. Independent Community 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.

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 Independent Community Bank’s loan policy and loan management strategy, it typically limits its loan-to-value ratio to a maximum of 80% to 65% 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 Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were no delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days past due or impaired loans. As of December 31, 2004, delinquent loans greater than 30 and less than 90 days totaled $127,300 and there were no impaired loans.

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. Independent Community Bank had no other real estate owned or repossessions at September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 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. Independent Community Bank had no nonperforming assets at September 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, or December 31, 2004.

Investment Activities

Independent Community 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, and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, Independent Community Bank may also invest a portion of its assets in corporate debt securities. Independent Community 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 document, 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



60





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 Independent Community Bank officers and directors determines appropriate investments in accordance with the board of directors’ approved investment policies and procedures. Independent Community Bank’s investment policies generally limit investments to U.S. government and agency securities, municipal bonds, certificates of deposit, marketable corporate debt obligations, and mortgage-backed securities. Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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 Independent Community 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 Independent Community Bank’s liabilities and obligations. These types of securities also permit Independent Community Bank to improve its regulatory capital because they have a low risk capital weighting.

Valuation of Securities

Independent Community Bank records securities available-for-sale in its statement of financial condition at fair value. Independent Community Bank uses market price quotes for valuation. The fair value of these securities in Independent Community 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. As a consequence, Independent Community Bank may not be able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. 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 September 30, 2006, the fair value and net unrealized loss associated with Independent Community Bank’s securities available-for-sale was $10.0 million and $241,000, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the fair value and net unrealized loss associated with Independent Community Bank’s securities available-for-sale was $8.4 million and $346,000, respectively.

Deposit Accounts

Deposits generally are attracted from within Independent Community 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 Independent Community Bank, which has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposits, because of its policy of relationship banking. Management believes Independent Community Bank’s money market accounts are priced competitively in the North Palm Beach county area. Independent Community Bank can attract new deposits or reduce deposit levels as needed by adjusting the interest paid on such accounts. Independent Community 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 the office location 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 Independent Community Bank, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. Independent Community 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 Independent Community Bank’s deposit mix and pricing weekly.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005

Independent Community Bank reported a net income of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30 2006, compared to net income of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a higher yield generated by the Loan portfolio, as well as a decrease in loan loss provision expense. Additionally, fees generated from loans that paid-out prior to their contractual maturity helped generate income.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $727,000 or 20%. The increase was due to adjustments to our interest rate sensitive Loan portfolio as quarterly, semi-annual and annual rates adjusted to a higher rate of interest.

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 $ 88,000, or 16%, to $ 635,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $ 547,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due primarily to increases in yields in 2006.

Interest on loans increased by $1,666,000, or 35%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 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. The average yield on loans was 8.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of 138 basis points compared to the same period in 2005. The largest increase was in the category of commercial real estate which increased from 6.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 8.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of 132 basis points.

Total interest expense increased $1,027,000, or 62%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in deposit interest expense was primarily attributed to market increases in interest rates payable on deposit products. The average yield on interest-bearing deposits was 3.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of 127 basis points compared to the same period in 2005. As the prime interest rate increased by the Federal Reserve Bank over the past 12 months there was increased pressure to raise rates so as to retain deposits.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $14,000 or 11%, to $140,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $126,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in non-interest income was primarily related to overdraft income.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $427,000, or 25%, to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel expense. Independent Community Bank experienced rapid growth in 2005 and added staff in support of that growth in the past 12 months so that operational and regulatory compliance requirements placed on a larger bank could be met.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $340,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $282,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase reflects the cost of adding an operations center in Clearwater, Florida.

Other expenses were $506,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $491,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

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

Provision for Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the income tax provision increased to $875,000 from $657,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $218,000, or 33%. The effective tax rate for the 2006 period was 36% compared to 40% for the 2005 period. The higher effective



64





tax rate for the 2005 period was due to a higher provision for loan losses. The loan loss provision is not totally deductible for income tax purposes.

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

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

The net income for 2005 was $1.4 million, compared to net income of $523,000 for 2004. Income for 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily impacted by a $2.1 million increase in net interest income, a increase in the provision for loan loss of $137,000, a decrease in non-interest income of $17,000 and a $482,000 increase in non-interest expenses. The increase in net income between years is almost entirely due to increased rate and volume in the bank loan portfolio. The loan portfolio grew $29 million between years which represented a 36% increase in loans outstanding. The average yield on loans was 6.93% for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 119 basis points compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The largest increase was in the category of commercial real estate which increased from 5.75% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 7.09% for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 134 basis points.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 2005 was $5.1 million, compared to $3.0 million for 2004, an increase of $2.1 million, or 69%. The difference was due to the large increase in the loan portfolio.

Total interest income increased by $3.3 million, or 80%, to $7.5 million for 2005 from $4.2 million for 2004. The increase was mostly attributed to higher average loan balances outstanding of $98.1 million for 2005 from $61.9 million for 2004. The interest yield on the loan portfolio increased to 6.93% in 2005, compared to 5.74% in 2004. In addition, federal funds sold yielded 3.00% in 2005, compared to 1.24% in 2004. The yield on total interest-earning assets was 6.31% for 2005, a 133 basis point increase from 4.98% for 2004, primarily as a result of improved yields in the loan portfolio due to increasing market interest rates.

Total interest expense increased $1.3 million from $1.1 million for 2004 to $2.4 million for 2005. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in average interest bearing deposit account balances to $81.6 million for 2005 from $55.5 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 2.61% for 2005 from 1.78% for 2004.

Non Interest Income. Total non interest income decreased $17,000, or 9%, to $179,000 for 2005 from $196,000 for 2004. The decrease in non interest income is primarily due to a decrease in overdraft income.

Non Interest Expense. Total non interest expense increased by $482,000, or 26%, to $2.4 million for 2005 from $1.9 million for 2004. The increase was mostly attributed to additional staff needed to support the larger sized bank.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $645,000, compared to $508,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2005, income taxes increased to $909,000 from $331,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $578,000, or 175%. The effective tax rate for both the 2005 and 2004 periods was 39%.

BEACH BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 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

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 September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ request for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and is applicable whenever other standards require (or permit) assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Management believes this Statement will not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (as amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R”, (“FAS 158”) requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of he end of the employer’s fiscal year, and; (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. 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 September 30, 2006, several U.S. government agency securities and several mortgage-backed securities had unrealized losses over twelve months of approximately $23,028,000. Such securities represent approximately 92% 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 5COMMITMENTS 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 6REGULATORY 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 September 30, 2006, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of September 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.

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.



83



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.



84



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.



85



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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank accepts deposits from and makes loans to principal officers and directors and their affiliates. The loans are on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the time of the loan origination for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated persons. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to principals officers and directors and their affiliates. Those loans and deposits are summarized as follows:

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.

INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Independent Community Bank (the “Bank”) is a state-chartered commercial bank with one banking office located in Tequesta, Florida. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer; however, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank reflect banking industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended September  30, 2006 and 2005 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2005 balance sheet was derived from the Bank’s December 31, 2005 audited financial statements.

INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY BANK

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)



NOTE 2 – SECURITIES (Continued)

The Bank 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 the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and 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. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Bank considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, securities with unrealized losses had depreciated 3.1% and 3.7% from the Bank’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses related principally to changes in interest rates. As the Bank has the ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future since they are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity, no declines were deemed to be other than temporary.

NOTE 3 – LOANS

Loans were as follows.

NOTE 5 – REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and 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 initiate regulatory action.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications:  well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered

deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

NOTE 6 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

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.

Commitments were as follows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005 and 2004

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations: Independent Community Bank (the “Bank”) is a state-chartered commercial bank with one banking office located in Tequesta, Florida. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer; however, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses is particularly subject to change.

Cash Flow Reporting: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions.

Securities: Debt 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. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value 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 fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Bank’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period 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 accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. 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. 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified 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.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the assets’ useful lives on an accelerated basis.

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 subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment 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 recorded at 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.

Stock Compensation: Employee 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 illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Benefit Plans: 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 are discretionary and are determined annually. Expense related to the plan in 2005 was $1. No expense was recorded in 2004.

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.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: SOP 03-3 requires that a valuation allowance for loans acquired in a transfer, including in a business combination, reflect only losses incurred after acquisition and should not be recorded at acquisition. It applies to any loan acquired in a transfer that showed evidence of credit quality deterioration since it was made. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Bank’s financial position and results of operations in 2005.

FAS 123R requires all companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified after the first quarter or year beginning after December 15, 2005. 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 will not result in additional compensation expense. There will be no significant effect on the Bank’s financial position as total equity will not change.

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 $538 and $267 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2005 and 2004. These balances do not earn interest.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and limit the dividends paid by the bank to shareholders.

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 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.

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

The Bank 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 the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and 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. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Bank considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

At year end 2005 and 2004, securities with unrealized losses had depreciated 3.7% and 1.7% from the Bank’s amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses related principally to changes in interest rates. As the Bank has the ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future since they are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity, no declines were deemed to be other than temporary.

NOTE 9 – REGULATORY MATTERS

Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and 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 initiate regulatory action.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year end 2005 and 2004, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

NOTE 10 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

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.

Commitments at year end were as follows:

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

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, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, 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 estimated fair value for off-balance-sheet loan commitments is considered nominal.

NOTE 12 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
