NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company” and the Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company reflect banking industry practice and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated 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 consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 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, 2004 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's December 31, 2004 audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Total stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2005 were 800. No options were granted or expired/forfeited during the period. As of March 31, 2005, 196,857 options were outstanding.

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.

Introduction

In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the financial condition of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. as of March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared with the same period in 2004. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and related footnotes included herein.
 
Overview

Total assets at March 31, 2005 were $230.5 million compared to $223.7 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $6.8 million, or 3.0%. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in net loans receivable of $4.8 million, or 2.6%. The increase in loans was funded by the deposit growth experienced by the Company during the period. The increase in net loans receivable consisted primarily of an increase in residential real estate loans of $6.0 million, or 12.9%. The commercial real estate portfolio remained relatively flat primarily due to a large payoff at the end of the quarter.

Total deposits were $208.2 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $201.2 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $7.0 million, or 3.5%. During this period, the Company experienced an increase in money market, NOW and savings accounts of $8.3 million. The certificate of deposit portfolio as a percent of total deposits declined to 37.3% at March 31, 2005 from 39.3% at December 31, 2004. Almost all certificates of deposit held by the Company mature in less than five years with the majority maturing in the next year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company earned 20 cents per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to diluted earnings of 24 cents per share in the prior year, resulting in a decrease in diluted earnings for the three-month period of 4 cents. The majority of the decrease in earnings per share compared to the prior year was due to an increase in shares outstanding as the result of the exercise of 224,050 stock warrants between the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Outside of this, overall earnings remained relatively flat over the prior year due to an increase of $538,000 in overhead expense partially offset by growth of $462,000 in net interest income.

1) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to the volume and rate components in proportion to the relationship of the dollar amounts of the absolute change in each.

Net interest income increased by $462,000, or 29.2%, from $1,582,000 for the first three months of 2004 to $2,044,000 for the current three-month period. As can be seen from the above rate/volume analysis, the increase is primarily comprised of a positive volume variance of $488,000 and a negative rate variance of $26,000.

Volume Variance. When comparing the first three months of 2005 to the same period last year, the Company experienced substantial growth in its core deposit products, with the largest increase occurring in money market deposit accounts. Core loan products also continued to grow, with the most significant growth occurring in commercial real estate and residential real estate loans. The aggregate positive impact of the shift in deposit mix from time deposits to core deposits coupled with loan growth largely comprise the positive volume variance of $488,000 and more than offset the negative impact of the downtrend in net interest margin discussed in the “Rate Variance” section that follows.

Rate Variance. The competitive aspects of attracting and retaining core funding is the primary reason for the negative rate variance of $26,000. In addition to the competitive aspects, management’s strategy to reduce dependency on time deposits has kept the negative rate variance to a minimum of $26,000 in the current rising rate environment.

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

Net interest margin increased by 10 basis points when comparing the first three months of 2005 to the same period last year. When applied to average total interest-earning assets of approximately $222.1 million for the first three months of 2005, the increase in net interest margin results in an increase in net interest income of approximately $462,000. The increase in net interest margin occurred primarily due to an increase in the yield on earning assets offset somewhat by an increase in net funding costs. An increase in both the average rate earned and funding costs was the result of seven increases, or a total of 175 basis points, in the prime rate from March 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. Average core deposit growth of $72 million, or 140%, over the first quarter of 2004 has lessened the Company’s dependence on the national CD market which contributed favorably to our risk profile. Variable rate loans adjusted to increasing rates, and proceeds from the maturity, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities continued to be reinvested at higher rates, mitigating the rising cost of core funding.

Management believes that available yields will continue to rise in 2005 and that the increase in interest rates will have a positive impact on net interest margin.


Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. Accounting and reporting policies for the allowance for loan losses are deemed critical since they involve the use of estimates and require significant management judgments. Losses on loans result from a broad range of causes from borrower specific problems, to industry issues, to the impact of the economic environment. The identification of these factors that lead to default or non-performance under a borrower loan agreement and the estimation of loss in these situations are very subjective. In addition, a dramatic change in the performance of one or a small number of borrowers can have a significant impact on the estimate of losses. Management has implemented a process that has been applied consistently to systematically consider the many variables that impact the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses is included in the 2004 Annual Report and Form 10-KSB.

Asset Quality

The Company has identified certain assets as nonperforming. These assets include nonaccruing loans, loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing, and foreclosed real estate. These assets present more than the normal risk that the Company will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value. The Company’s nonperforming assets at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are as follows:

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses grew by $64,000 during the first quarter of 2005, amounting to $1,907,000, as compared to $1,843,000 at December 31, 2004. The allowance represented approximately .98% and .97% of total loans at both dates, respectively. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company had no loan charge-offs, no recoveries and recorded a $64,000 provision for loan losses compared to charge-offs of $23,000, no recoveries and a provision for loan losses of $127,000 for the first quarter of 2004.
 
The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management currently believes will be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. In determining the allowance for loan losses, there is not an exact amount but rather a range for what constitutes an appropriate allowance. As more fully discussed in the “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” section of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the process for estimating credit losses and determining the allowance for loan losses as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

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

The amount of future chargeoffs and provisions for loan losses will be affected by, among other things, economic conditions in Jacksonville, Florida, and the surrounding communities. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of the Company’s borrowers and do affect the value of real estate collateral securing the Company’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 88% of the Company’s total loans outstanding at March 31, 2005. In recent years, economic conditions in Jacksonville and the surrounding communities have been good and real estate values have continued to grow. However, such conditions and values could deteriorate in the future, and such deterioration could be substantial. If this were to occur, some of the Company’s borrowers may be unable to make the required contractual payments on their loans, and the Company may be unable to realize the full carrying value of such loans through foreclosure. However, management believes that the Company’s underwriting policies are relatively conservative and, as a result, the Company should not be any more affected than the overall market.

Future provisions and charge-offs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans. Under the Company’s current policy, an environmental audit is required on practically all commercial-type properties that are considered for a mortgage loan. At the present time, the Company is not aware of any existing loans in the portfolio where there is environmental pollution originating on the mortgaged properties that would materially affect the value of the portfolio.

Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense, and Income Taxes

Noninterest income was $223,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $217,000 for the 2004 period. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $165,000 in 2005, up from $155,000 in 2004, due to an increase in the average number of deposit accounts. In addition, the Company recognized no gains on the sale of foreclosed assets in the first quarter of 2005, while $20,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 2004.

Noninterest expense increased to $1,604,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $1,066,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Salaries and employee benefits was the largest noninterest expense, increasing from $530,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004, to $854,000 for the 2005 period. Between March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, the Company made significant investments to position itself for the future. Total full-time employees increased by seven during the period, including the addition of a risk manager, human resources manager, residential mortgage solicitor and lockbox sales officer. In addition, the Company built out and relocated its main office and headquarters to a new location in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. The Company has also incurred additional costs to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in particular with Section 404 of the Act.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $232,000 (an effective rate of 38.16%) compared to income taxes of $223,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 (an effective tax rate of 36.80%).

Capital

The Company’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that meet regulatory standards. Under current regulatory capital standards, banks are classified as well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well-capitalized bank is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. The Company’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 11.86%, 10.92% and 9.69%, respectively, at March 31, 2005.

The Company has included the $4.0 million of trust preferred securities that were issued in June 2004 in their Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Inclusion of the trust preferred securities has increased the Company’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios by 196 basis points, 196 basis points and 174 basis points, respectively, at March 31, 2005.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $140,000, or .79%, from $17,804,000 at December 31, 2004 to $17,944,000 at March 31, 2005. The increase is attributable to net income of $367,000 and proceeds from exercises of stock options of $14,000, partially offset by the repurchase of 1,500 shares of common stock in the amount of $40,000 and an increase in unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $201,000.

Cash Flows and Liquidity

Cash Flows. The Company’s primary sources of cash are deposit growth, maturities and amortization of investment securities, operations, and federal funds purchased. The Company uses cash from these and other sources to first fund loan growth. Any remaining cash is used primarily to purchase investment securities. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company increased its cash and cash equivalent position by $560,000.

Liquidity. The Company has both internal and external sources of near-term liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The primary internal sources of liquidity are its overnight position in federal funds sold; maturities and monthly payments on the balance of the investment securities portfolio and the loan portfolio; and investment securities designated as available-for-sale. At March 31, 2005, the Company had $27,996,000 in federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities not subject to pledge agreements.

The Company’s primary external sources of liquidity are customer deposits and borrowings from other commercial banks. The Company’s deposit base consists of both core deposits from businesses and consumers in its local market area and brokered deposits. The Company can also borrow overnight federal funds and fixed-rate term products under lines established with the Federal Home Loan Bank and other commercial banks. These lines in the aggregate amount of approximately $63.0 million at March 31, 2005 do not represent legal commitments to extend credit on the part of the other banks.
