5. Regulatory Capital. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. The following is a summary at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 of the Bank’s actual capital and related capital ratios.

	Actual				Minimum Amount and Ratio to Remain Well Capitalized

6. Fair Value Measurements. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This standard does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in operations when they occur.

SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

INDEPENDENT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Continued

6. Fair Value Measurements, Continued. Financial assets subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Fair Value as of September 30, 2008		Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Available for sale securities	$	39,264	$	—	$	39,264	$	—

The fair values of the Company’s securities available for sale are determined by third party service providers utilizing various methods dependent upon the specific type of investment. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices or securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities.

Financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Carrying Value as of September 30, 2008		Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses			Total Losses in Operations
Impaired loans	$	1,079	$	—	$	—	$	1,079	$	(666	)	$	(666	)

SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price, or at the fair value of the loans collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. If a loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation adjusted for costs related to the liquidation of the collateral.

When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (1) the impact of current economic conditions, including disruptions in the housing and credit markets, either national or in the markets in which the Company does business; (2) changes in the interest rate environment that reduce net interest margin; (3) charge-offs and loan loss provisions; (4) the ability of the Bank to maintain required capital levels and adequate sources of funding and liquidity; (5) the impact of problems affecting issuers of investment securities the Bank holds (6) changes and trends in capital markets; (7) competitive pressures among depository institutions that increase significantly; (8) effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; (9) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies; (10) legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation that adversely affect the Company or the business in which the Company is engaged; (11) ability to attract and retain key personnel; (12) ability to secure confidential information through the use of computer systems and telecommunications network; and (13) the impact of reputational risk created by these developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity, and other factors described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. We may update that discussion in this or another periodic report we file with the SEC thereafter. We undertake no obligation to release revisions to these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or conditions occurring after the date of this report, except as required in our periodic reports.

General

The Holding Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Independent National Bank (the “Bank”) and HKH Financial Center, Inc., doing business as Independent Financial Partners (“IFP”) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary business activity is the operation of the Bank and IFP. The Bank is a nationally-chartered commercial bank and its deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank offers a variety of financial services to individual and corporate customers through its five banking offices located in Marion and Sumter Counties, Florida. IFP is a financial services company registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”). IFP has an established product and brokering agreement with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was from maturities, sales and principal repayments of securities available for sale of $9.4 million. Cash was used primarily to purchase securities available for sale of $7.8 million. At September 30, 2008 the Bank exceeded its regulatory liquidity requirements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include undisbursed lines of credit and construction loans, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit, including undisbursed lines of credit and construction loans, 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. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support third-party borrowing arrangements and generally have expiration dates within one year of issuance. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting these commitments.

12

INDEPENDENT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk at September 30, 2008 follows (in thousands):

	Contract Amount
Undisbursed lines of credit and construction loans	$	5,769
Commitments to extend credit	$	10,585
Standby letters of credit	$	26

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all its commitments, that a majority of all of its existing commitments will be funded within 12 months and, if so desired, that the Company can adjust the rates and terms on time deposits and other deposit accounts to retain or obtain new deposits in a changing interest rate environment.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

General Operating Results. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was ($318,000) or ($0.26) per basic share compared to net earnings of $220,000 or $0.18 per basic share for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The third quarter 2008 loss was caused by credit – related expenses including a $366,000 provision for loan losses, and write downs of foreclosed property in the amount of $110,000 included in other expenses.

The Company does not have any sub-prime securities in its investment portfolio. The sustained level of liquidity and conservative nature of investments help offset the increased level of risk in the loan portfolio. The Company does not use brokered deposits and its loan to deposit ratio is 82.50%.

Interest Income. Interest income declined $595,000 to $3.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $3.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. The decline in interest income is primarily due to a decrease in earning assets, and a decline in average yields over the past year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $512,000 from $1.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, to $1.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was due to the lower average yields paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan loss is a current period expense charged to operations to bring the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions of $366,000 and $34,000 for the three month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the three month period ending September 30, 2008, the Company posted net charge offs of $388,000 to the allowance for loan losses, due primarily to loans that were written down to the market value of the collateral. At September 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $1,926,000 or 1.27% of gross loans. Management is aggressively working on its collection efforts and continues to increase the level of monitoring for commercial real estate and investment real estate. The Company has never participated in any type of subprime lending. Management believes the allowance for loan losses of $1,926,000 at September 30, 2008, is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $45,000, from $417,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, to $372,000, for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily related to reductions in brokerage fees.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $257,000, from $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, to $2.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase was attributable to an increase in expenses related to foreclosed property included in other expense.

Income Taxes. The Company benefited from an income tax credit of $137,000 for the period ended September 30, 2008, compared to an income tax expense of $42,000 for the period ended September 30, 2007. The benefit is a direct result of a loss on operations.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

General Operating Results. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, was ($496,000), or ($0.40) per basic share, compared to net income of $555,000, or $0.45 per basic share for the comparable period in 2007. The net loss was a result of a provision for loan losses of $925,000, and the expense to carry foreclosed real estate of $133,000 included in other expense.

The Company does not have any sub-prime securities in its investment portfolio. The sustained level of liquidity and conservative nature of investments helps offset the increased level of risk in the loan portfolio. The Company does not use brokered deposits and its loan to deposit ratio is 82.50%.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $1.2 million to $9.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $10.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was due to a drop in the average yield on earning assets from 6.89% to 6.16%, a decrease in average loans outstanding of $4.5 million, and the reversal of interest on non-accrual loans of $ 147,000.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1 million to $4.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to $5.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. The decrease was due to lower average yields on interest bearing liabilities, which went from 3.97% to 3.16%.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market area, and other factors related to the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 of $925,000 and $215,000, respectively. During the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, the Company posted net charge offs of $883,000 to the allowance for loan losses, due primarily to loans that were written down to the market value of the collateral. At September 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $1,926,000 or 1.27% of gross loans. Management is aggressively working on its collection efforts and continues to increase the level of monitoring for commercial real estate and investment real estate. The Company has never participated in any type of subprime lending. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $1,926,000 at September 30, 2008, is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income remained flat at $1.2 million for the period ending September 30, 2008 as compared to September 30, 2007.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $683,000 to $6.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in expenses can be attributed to foreclosed real estate expenses of $133,000, consulting fees of $151,000, regulatory assessments of $185,000 (all of which are included in other expense), and salaries and benefits expense increase of $167,000 from the comparable period in 2007.

Income Taxes. The Company benefited from an income tax credit of $388,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, compared to an income tax expense of $69,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.

Recent Developments

In response to the current financial crisis affecting the overall banking system and financial markets in the U.S. and around the world, on October 3, 2008 Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). Under the EESA, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) has the authority, among other things, to purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

On October 14, 2008, Treasury announced the availability through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), which was created as part of the EESA, of its voluntary Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) for qualifying public financial institutions such as U.S. controlled banks, savings associations, and certain bank and savings and loan holding companies. Under the CPP, Treasury has used $250 billion of its $700 billion available under the EESA to purchase $125 billion of preferred stock in nine major financial institutions, the remaining $125 billion being made available for the purchase of preferred stock in additional qualifying financial institutions. Under the terms of the preferred stock program a participating bank will pay a 5% per annum dividend on Treasury’s preferred stock for the first five years and a 9% per annum dividend thereafter; will not be able to increase common stock dividends for three years without the consent of Treasury while Treasury is an investor; will not be able to redeem Treasury preferred stock for three years unless the Bank raises fully qualifying Tier 1 capital; will have to obtain Treasury’s consent to buy back its own stock; will grant Treasury warrants entitling it to buy the Bank’s common stock equal to 15% of Treasury’s total investment in the Bank; require the Bank executives to agree to certain compensation restrictions; and be subject to restrictions on the amount of executive compensation which is tax deductible.

Although the Holding Company and the Bank meet all applicable regulatory capital requirements and the Bank remains well capitalized, management and the Board of Directors determined that is in the Company’s best interest to participate in the CPP. Accordingly, on November 14, 2008, the Holding Company will apply for up to $4.3 million investment by Treasury. If approved, this investment by the Treasury could reduce the investment returns to the Company’s shareholders by restricting increases in dividends paid on common stock without Treasury’s consent and, by operation of the warrants, could dilute existing shareholders’ interests.

In addition to the creation of the TARP, the EESA included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) from $100,000 to $250,000 until December 2009. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC went further by announcing the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). TLGP provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. Such noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts are initially insured at no cost to the institution for approximately seven weeks with coverage continuing through December 31, 2009, at a 10 bps fee on deposit amounts in excess of $250,000. Eligible institutions have a one time opt-out option before the extra fee applies available until December 5, 2008.

18

INDEPENDENT BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Bank is an eligible institution and will not exercise the opt-out option. As a result, until December 31, 2009, noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts held by the Bank will be insured in their entirety regardless of amount, and all other deposits held by the Bank will be insured up to $250,000. The increased deposit insurance limits are likely to increase the Bank’s FDIC insurance costs.

Also under TLGP, newly issued senior unsecured debt issued on or before June 30, 2009, will be fully insured in the event the issuing institution subsequently fails, or its Holding Company files for bankruptcy. The debt included in the program includes all newly issued unsecured senior debt, including promissory notes, commercial paper, inter-bank funding, and any unsecured portion of secured debt. The aggregate coverage for an institution may not exceed 125% of the debt outstanding on September 30, 2008, that was scheduled to mature before June 30, 2009. The guarantee of any newly issued debt will extend to June 30, 2012, even if the maturity of the debt is after that date. Such unsecured debt is initially insured at no cost to the institution for a period of approximately seven weeks with coverage continuing at a 75 bps annualized fee. Institutions eligible to participate have a one time opt-out option before the extra fee applies available until December 5, 2008. At this time, it is management’s intention not to opt-out of this program.

The actions described above, together with additional actions announced by Treasury and other regulatory agencies continue to develop. It is not clear at this time what impact the EESA, TARP, TLGP or any of the other liquidity and funding initiatives of Treasury and other bank regulatory agencies that have been previously announced, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future, will have on the financial markets and the financial services industry. The extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced could continue to affect the U.S. banking industry and the broader U.S. and global economies, which may have an impact on all financial institutions, including the Company.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the first nine months of 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management (including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) does not expect that our financial reporting, disclosure controls and other internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override or the control.

The design of the system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
