The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Income Tax Uncertainties" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. There was no effect
on
its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing
FIN
48. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.6 million

rate. In addition, interest and penalties associated with these unrecognized
tax
benefits was approximately $159,000.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various
state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax
examinations for years before 2003. In addition, no state jurisdictions remain
subject to examination before 2003. No material changes to the Company’s
unrecognized tax positions is expected over the next 12 months. As a policy,
the
Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax
benefits as a component of income tax expense.

NOTE
8 - STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
In
accordance with the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), in the first quarter of 2003, the cost
related to stock-based associate compensation included in net income has been
accounted for under the fair value method in all reported periods.
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R. The Company continues to include
the cost of its share-based compensation plans in net income under the fair
value method.
As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans, consisting
of the 2005 Associate Incentive Plan ("AIP"), the 2005 Associate Stock Purchase
Plan ("ASPP"), and the 2005 Director Stock Purchase Plan ("DSPP"). Total
compensation expense associated with these plans for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, was approximately $106,000 and $461,000,
respectively.
AIP.
The
Company's AIP allows the Company's Board of Directors to award key associates
various forms of equity-based incentive compensation. Under the AIP, the Company
has adopted the Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), effective
January 1, 2006, which is a performance-based equity bonus plan for selected
members of management, including all executive officers. Under the Incentive
Plan, all participants are eligible to earn an equity award, consisting of
performance shares, in each year of the five-year period ending December 31,
2010. Annual awards are tied to the annual earnings progression necessary to
achieve the Project 2010 goal of $50.0 million in annual net income. The
grant-date fair value of an annual compensation award is approximately $1.5
million. A total of 43,437 shares are eligible for issuance
annually.
At
the
end of each calendar year, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of
Directors will confirm whether the annual performance goal has been met prior
to
the payout of any awards. Any performance shares earned under the Incentive
Plan
will be issued in the calendar quarter following the calendar year in which
the
shares were earned. A total of 32,799 shares were issued under this plan during
the first quarter of 2007 related to the 2006 award.
The
Company did not recognize any expense for the first three months of 2007 related
to the Incentive Plan as first quarter 2007 results fell short of the earnings
performance goal. The Company recognized expense of $367,000 for the first
three
months of 2006 for the Incentive Plan. A total of 875,000 shares of common
stock
have been reserved for issuance under the AIP. To date, the Company has issued
60,892 shares of common stock.
Executive
Stock Option Agreement. In
2006
and 2005, under the provisions of the AIP, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a stock option agreement for a key executive officer (William G. Smith,
Jr. - Chairman, President and CEO, CCBG). Similar stock option agreements were
approved in 2004 and 2003. These agreements grant a non-qualified stock option
award upon achieving certain annual earnings per share conditions set by the
Board, subject to certain vesting requirements. The options granted under the
agreements have a term of ten years and vest at a rate of one-third on each
of
the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Under the
2004
and 2003 agreements, 37,246 and 23,138 options, respectively, were issued,
none
of which have been exercised. The fair value of a 2004 option was $13.42, and
the fair value of a 2003 option was $11.64. The exercise prices for the 2004
and
2003 options are $32.69 and $32.96, respectively. Under the 2005 and 2006
agreements, the earnings per share conditions were not met; therefore, no
expense was recognized related to these agreements. In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R and SFAS 123, the Company recognized expense of
approximately $31,000 and $53,000 for three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively, related to the 2004 and 2003 agreements. In 2007, the
Company replaced its practice of entering into a stock option arrangement by
establishing a Performance Share Unit Plan under the provisions of the AIP
that
allows the executive to earn shares based on the compound annual growth rate
in
diluted earnings per share over a three-year period. The details of this program
for the executive are outlined in a Form 8-K filing dated January 31, 2007.
No
expense related to this plan was recognized during the first three months of
2007 as first quarter 2007 results fell short of the earnings performance
goal.

DSPP.
The
Company's DSPP allows the directors to purchase the Company's common stock
at a
price equal to 90% of the closing price on the date of purchase. Stock purchases
under the DSPP are limited to the amount of the directors' annual cash
compensation. The DSPP has 93,750 shares reserved for issuance. A total of
23,974 shares have been issued since the inception of the DSPP. For the first
three months of 2007, the Company issued 5,236 shares under the DSPP and
recognized approximately $18,000 in expense related to this plan. For the first
three months of 2006, the Company issued 5,034 shares and recognized
approximately $18,000 in expense related to the DSPP.
ASPP.
Under
the
Company's ASPP, substantially all associates may purchase the Company's common
stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 90% of the lower of the
fair market value at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period.
Stock purchases under the ASPP are limited to 10% of an associate's eligible
compensation, up to a maximum of $25,000 (fair market value on each enrollment
date) in any plan year. Shares are issued at the beginning of the quarter
following each six-month offering period. The ASPP has 593,750 shares of common
stock reserved for issuance. A total of 50,917 shares have been issued since
inception of the ASPP. For the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Company
recognized expense of approximately $25,000 and $23,000, respectively, related
to this plan.
Based
on
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average estimated fair
value of the purchase rights granted under the ASPP Plan was $5.91 for the
first
quarter of 2007. For the first quarter of 2006, the weighted average fair value
of the purchase rights granted was $6.22. In calculating compensation, the
fair
value of each stock purchase right was estimated on the date of grant using
the
following weighted average assumptions:

NOTE
10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lending
Commitments.
The
Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in
the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These
financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit.
The
Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing
commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments. As of March 31, 2007, the amounts associated with the Company’s
off-balance sheet obligations were as follows:

|
|
Standby
Letters of Credit
|
$
|
18.5
|
(1) Commitments
include unfunded loans, revolving lines of credit, and other unused
commitments.
Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so 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 many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements.
Contingencies.
The
Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course
of
business. In management's opinion, there are no known pending claims or
litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have
a
material effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position,
or cash flows of the Company.
NOTE
11 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS
No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires that certain transactions and
other economic events that bypass the income statement be displayed as other
comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net
income and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on securities
available-for-sale, net of income taxes. Changes in unrealized gains (losses),
net of taxes, on securities totaled $315,000 and $(89,000) for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
Management’s
discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which
sets forth the major factors that have affected our financial condition and
results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes. The MD&A is divided into subsections
entitled "Business Overview," "Financial Overview," "Results of Operations,"
"Financial Condition," "Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements," and "Accounting Policies." Information therein should facilitate
a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect our earnings
performance and financial condition, and how our performance during 2007
compares with prior years. Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group,
Inc., and its subsidiary, collectively, are referred to as "CCBG," "Company,"
"we," "us," or "our."
The
period-to-date averages used in this report are based on daily balances for
each
respective period. In certain circumstances, comparing average balances for
the
comparable quarters of consecutive years may be more meaningful than simply
analyzing year-to-date averages. Therefore, where appropriate, quarterly
averages have been presented for analysis and have been noted as such. See
Table
I for average balances and interest rates presented on a quarterly
basis.
In
this
MD&A, we present an operating efficiency ratio and operating net noninterest
expense as a percent of average assets, both of which are not calculated based
on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"),
but
that we believe provide important information regarding our results of
operations. Our calculation of the operating efficiency ratio is computed by
dividing noninterest expense less intangible amortization and one-time merger
expenses, by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest
income. We calculate our operating net noninterest expense as a percent of
average assets by subtracting noninterest expense excluding intangible
amortization and one-time merger expenses from noninterest income. Management
uses these non-GAAP measures as part of its assessment of performance in
managing non-interest expenses. We believe that excluding intangible
amortization and one-time merger expenses in our calculations better reflects
our periodic expenses and is more indicative of normalized operations.
Although
we believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’
understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, there are material
limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures such
as
the risks that readers of our financial statements may disagree as to the
appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that our
measures may not be directly comparable to other companies that calculate these
measures differently. Our management compensates for these limitations by
providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and the non-GAAP
financial measure as detailed below.

Item
1A.
Risk Factors of
our
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports
filed
on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to time with the SEC
after
the date of this report.
However,
other factors besides those listed above, in our Quarterly Report or in our

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We
are a
financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and are the
parent of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or "CCB").
The Bank offers a broad array of products and services through a total of 69
full-service offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. The Bank also
has
mortgage lending offices in three additional Florida communities, and one
Georgia community. The Bank offers commercial and retail banking services,
as
well as trust and asset management, merchant services, securities brokerage
and
data processing services.
Our
profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent
upon net interest income, which is the difference between the interest received
on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Results
of
operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses, operating
expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating
expenses including income taxes, and noninterest income such as service charges
on deposit accounts, asset management and trust fees, mortgage banking revenues,
merchant service fees, brokerage and data processing revenues.
Our
philosophy is to grow and prosper, building long-term relationships based on
quality service, high ethical standards, and safe and sound banking practices.
We are a super-community bank in the relationship banking business with a
locally oriented, community-based focus, which is augmented by experienced,
centralized support in select specialized areas. Our local market orientation
is
reflected in our network of banking office locations, experienced community
executives, and community advisory boards which support our focus on responding
to local banking needs. We strive to offer a broad array of sophisticated
products and to provide quality service by empowering associates to make
decisions in their local markets.
Pursuant
to our long-term strategic initiative, "Project 2010", we have continued our
expansion, emphasizing a combination of growth in existing markets and
acquisitions. Acquisitions will continue to be focused on a three state area
including Florida, Georgia, and Alabama with a particular focus on financial
institutions, which are $100 million to $400 million in asset size and generally
located on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas. We continue to evaluate
de
novo expansion opportunities in attractive new markets in the event that
acquisition opportunities are not feasible. Other expansion opportunities that
will be evaluated include asset management, insurance, and mortgage
banking.

FINANCIAL
OVERVIEW
A
summary
overview of our financial performance for the first quarter of 2007 versus
the
first quarter of 2006 is provided below.
Financial
Performance Highlights -
· |
Quarterly
earnings totaled $7.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, decreases
of
6.3%
and 5.0%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2006.
|
· |
Earnings
for the quarter were negatively impacted by margin compression and
a
higher loan loss provision, but benefited from strong growth in
noninterest income and good control of operating expenses.
|
· |
Tax
equivalent net interest income declined 1.9% as a result of a 2.8%
reduction in average earning
assets.
|
· |
Strong
growth of 7.0% was realized in noninterest income, which more than
offset
the decline in net interest income.
|
· |
Noninterest
expense increased only 1.6% due to implementation of expense control
strategies.
|
· |
Slight
decline in credit quality as reflected by a higher loan loss provision
for
the quarter. Allowance for loan losses continues to be adequately
funded
at .87% of total loans and 208% of non-performing
loans.
|
· |
Well-capitalized
with a risk based capital ratio of
14.83%.
|
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Net
Income
Earnings
were $7.0 million, or $.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2007.
This compares to $7.4 million, or $.40 per diluted share for the first quarter
of 2006, decreases of 6.3% and 5.0%, respectively.
The
decrease in earnings compared to first quarter 2006 was primarily attributable
to a decrease in net interest income of $805,000, and increases in the loan
loss
provision of $570,000 and noninterest expense of $470,000, partially offset
by
an increase in noninterest income of $917,000. The decrease in net interest
income reflects a 2.8% reduction in earning assets primarily in the loan
portfolio. The higher loan loss provision was driven by a higher level of
charge-offs. Higher expense for compensation and a one-time write-off of
leasehold improvement costs were the primary reasons for the increase in
noninterest expense. The 7.0% increase in noninterest income is due to
improvement in deposit fees, asset management fees, and card processing
fees.

Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal
to
interest income and fees generated by earning assets, less interest expense
paid
on interest bearing liabilities. First quarter taxable-equivalent net interest
income decreased $0.6 million, or 1.9%, over the comparable quarter in 2006.
This decrease was caused primarily by a higher cost of funds and a higher
percentage of earning assets funded by interest bearing liabilities. The cost
of
funds increase was attributable to a shift in deposit mix to higher interest
rate accounts and the higher interest rate environment. Partially offsetting
the
higher costs of funds was an increase in the yield on earning assets. The net
interest margin increased four basis points to 5.29% in the first quarter of
2007 versus the comparable period in 2006. Table I provides a comparative
analysis of our average balances and interest rates.
For
the
first quarter of 2007, taxable-equivalent interest income increased $2.3
million, or 5.9% over the comparable quarter in 2006. The increase was
attributable to higher yields on earning assets. Earning asset yields improved
63 basis points to 7.71% in the first quarter of 2007 from 7.08% in the first
quarter of 2006 and 7.65% from the prior quarter, attributable to the higher
interest rate environment and partially offset by the lower loan volume. We
anticipate that our income on earning assets will expand slightly during the
second quarter due to higher yields on earning assets.
Interest
expense for the first quarter increased $2.9 million, or 28.3%, from the
comparable prior-year period. The
increase is attributable to higher rates paid on interest bearing deposits
and a
change in mix to higher rate accounts, partially offset by a decrease in
long-term debt costs. The decline in long-term borrowings reflects maturing
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances throughout 2006 which were not renewed.
The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities of 3.11% in the first
quarter of 2007 represents an increase of 11 and 72 basis points, respectively,
over the fourth and first quarters of 2006. We anticipate that the rate of
growth in our average cost of funds will slow in the second quarter.
Our
interest rate spread (defined as the average federal taxable-equivalent yield
on
earning assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities)
decreased from 4.69% in the first quarter of 2006 to 4.60% in the comparable
period of 2007, reflecting the higher costs of funds.
Our
net
yield on earning assets (defined as federal taxable-equivalent net interest
income divided by average earning assets) was 5.29% in the first three months
of
2007, versus 5.25% in the first three months of 2006. The margin increase is
primarily attributable to higher yields on earning assets. Market conditions
and
competition will continue to place pressure on net interest income during the
second quarter.
Provision
for Loan Losses
The
provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the quarter was $570,000 higher
than the first quarter of 2006 due to a higher level of net charge-offs. Net
charge-offs totaled $1.3 million, or .28% of average loans for the quarter
compared to $798,000, or .16% for the first quarter of 2006. Management expects
the loan loss provision to stabilize for the remainder of the year. Charge-off

Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income increased $917,000, or 7.0%, from the first quarter of 2006 primarily
due
to higher deposit service charge fees, asset management fees, and card
processing fees. The
increase in deposit fees is due primarily to an increase in non-sufficient
funds
and overdraft “NSF/OD” activity and the associated fees. Asset management fees
increased due to growth in new business. Card processing fees were driven higher
by increased transaction volume for merchant services and increased interchange
fees related to bank card activity. Noninterest
income represented 33.0% of operating revenues in the first quarter of 2007
compared to 30.9% for the same period in 2006.

Various
significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail
below.
Service
Charges on Deposit Accounts.
Deposit
service charge fees increased $365,000, or 6.4%, from the first quarter of
2006
primarily reflective of a higher level of NSF/OD activity and the associated
fees, and to a lesser extent higher analysis fees on business checking
accounts.
Asset
Management Fees.
Income
from asset management activities increased $175,000, or 16.7%, from the first
quarter of 2006. The improvement is due primarily to growth in new business
within existing and new markets and improved asset valuations. At March 31,
2007, assets under management totaled $764.7 million, representing an increase
of $67.4 million, or 9.7% from the comparable period in 2006.
Mortgage
Banking Revenues.
Mortgage banking revenues decreased $42,000, or 5.8%, from the first quarter
of
2006. The decrease is due to slightly lower production, which is generally
reflective of the local and national trend of a slower housing
market.
Card
Fees.
Card
processing fees (including merchant services fees, interchange fees, and
ATM/debit card fees) increased $488,000, or 16.3%, over the first quarter of
2006. The increase in merchant service fees is primarily due to higher
transaction volume, which is reflective of growth in merchant accounts. Higher
interchange fees and ATM/debit card fees reflect an increase in our active
card
base primarily associated with growth in deposit accounts.
Other.
Other
income decreased $133,000, or 9.0%, from the first quarter of 2006 due primarily
to lower miscellaneous loan fees and credit life commission fees, which is
primarily reflective of lower loan production.
-19-
Noninterest
Expense
Noninterest
expense in the first quarter of 2006 increased $470,000, or 1.6%, over the
first
quarter of 2006. Higher expense for compensation and a one-time expense to
write-off leasehold improvement costs ($250,000) for a banking office site
were
the primary reasons for the increase. Various expense management initiatives
were implemented in late 2006 which made a positive impact on first quarter
expense control.

Various
significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail
below.
Compensation.
Salaries and associate benefit expense increased $289,000, or 1.9%, over the
first quarter of 2006. This increase is due primarily to higher associate
salaries and payroll taxes of $691,000 and higher benefit expense (insurance
and
pension) of $183,000, partially offset by lower expense for stock-based
compensation of $456,000. The increase in associate salaries and payroll tax
expenses primarily reflects annual merit/market based raises for associates.
The
increase in expense for insurance and pension benefits primarily reflects an
increase in eligible participants. The variance in stock-based compensation
reflects a lower level of expected pay-out for our Associate Incentive Plan
in
2007.
Occupancy.
Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) decreased $138,000, or
2.9%, from the first quarter of 2006. Lower expense for furniture, fixtures,
and
equipment of $134,000 was the primary reason for the decline and reflects the
full depreciation of a few larger components of our core processing
system.
Other.
Other
noninterest expense increased $319,000, or 3.2%, over the first quarter of
2006
due to higher expense for professional fees, interchange fees, and miscellaneous
expense. Professional fees increased primarily due to an increase in fees paid
for a profit enhancement study by an external consultant and an increase in
internal audit fees paid to an outsource provider. The higher expense for
interchange fees is due primarily to increased merchant card transaction volume.
Miscellaneous expense grew primarily due to a one-time expense to write-off
leasehold improvement costs ($250,000) for a banking office site in conjunction
with an agreement with the lessor to cancel the lease agreement.
The
operating net noninterest expense ratio (defined as noninterest income minus
noninterest expense, net of intangible amortization and one-time merger
expenses, as a percent of average assets) was 2.43% in the first quarter of
2007
compared to 2.42% for the comparable period in 2006. Our operating efficiency
ratio (expressed as noninterest expense, net of intangible amortization and
one-time merger expenses, as a percent of taxable equivalent net interest income
plus noninterest income) was 67.90% for the first quarter of 2007 compared
to
67.20% for the comparable period in 2006. The increase in these operating ratios
is due to the expense growth noted above.
-20-
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income taxes decreased $464,000, or 11.6%, from the first quarter
of 2006, reflecting lower taxable income. Our effective tax rate for the first
quarter of 2007 was 33.7% compared to 35.1% for the same quarter in 2006. The
decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to: 1) a higher
level of tax-free loan income, 2) full
amortization of certain deferred taxes related to a purchase accounting
adjustment from a prior acquisition, and 3) the favorable impact of disallowed
interest payments for an FHLB advance.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Average
assets decreased $26.6 million, or 1.04%, to $2.531 billion for the
quarter-ended March 31, 2007 from $2.557 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Average earning assets of $2.212 billion decreased $26.5 million, or 1.18%,
from
the fourth quarter of 2006. A decrease in average loans of $23.5 million and
a
$3.4 million decrease in average short term investments were the primary reasons
for the decline. We discuss these variances in more detail below.
Funds
Sold
We
ended
the first quarter with approximately $21.9 million in average net overnight
funds sold, compared to $26.1 million net overnight funds sold in the fourth
quarter of 2006. The slight decline is due to the decrease in deposit account
balances which we discuss in further detail below.
Investment
Securities
Our
investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such,
it functions as a key element of liquidity and asset/liability management.
As of
March 31, 2007, the average investment portfolio increased $395,000, or .21%,
from the fourth quarter of 2006. We will continue to evaluate the need to
purchase securities for the investment portfolio for the remainder of 2007,
taking into consideration the Bank’s overall liquidity position and pledging
requirements.
Securities
classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized
gains
and losses associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a
separate component of shareowners’ equity. At March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, shareowners’ equity included a net unrealized loss of $520,000 and
$834,000, respectively.
Loans
Average
loans for the first quarter decreased $23.5 million, or 1.17%, from the fourth
quarter, due to an overall slowing of lending activity within Bank markets,
a
high level of principal pay-downs and pay-offs, including the pay-off of several
larger commercial loans. Management expects this trend to a lesser extent to
continue in the second quarter, and for loan production to pick up momentum
in
the second half of the year.
Non-Performing
Assets
Our
nonperforming loans were $8.2 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $8.0 million
at December 31, 2006. As a percent of nonperforming loans, the allowance for
loan losses represented 208% at March 31, 2007 and 214% at December 31, 2006.
Nonperforming loans include nonaccruing and restructured loans. Total loans
past
due 90 days and still accruing totaled $0.9 million at March 31, 2007, compared
to $0.1 million at December 31, 2006 with the increase due primarily to one
large loan ($0.7 million) in this reporting category. Other real estate, which
includes property acquired either through foreclosure or by receiving a deed
in
lieu of foreclosure, was $1.2 million at March 31, 2007 versus $0.7 million
at
December 31, 2006. The increase in other real estate is related to four
properties for which no additional loss exposure is expected. The ratio of
nonperforming assets as a percent of loans plus other real estate was .48%
at
March 31, 2007, compared to .44% at December 31, 2006, evidencing a slight
decline in this credit quality metric during the quarter.
-21-
Allowance
for Loan Losses
We
maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to provide for
the
estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet
date. Credit losses arise from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to repay,
and from other risks inherent in the lending process, including collateral
risk,
operations risk, concentration risk and economic risk. All related risks of
lending are considered when assessing the adequacy of the loan loss reserve.
The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense.
Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection
of
the principal is unlikely. The allowance for loan losses is based on
management's judgment of overall loan quality. This is a significant estimate
based on a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio. The balance can and will
change based on changes in the assessment of the portfolio's overall credit
quality.
We
evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
basis.
The
allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 was $17.1 million, compared to
$17.2
million at December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the allowance represented
0.87%
of outstanding loans and provided coverage of 208% of nonperforming loans,
compared to 0.86% and 214%, respectively at December 31, 2006. While there
can
be no assurance that we will not sustain loan losses in a particular period
that
are substantial in relation to the size of the allowance, our assessment of
the
loan portfolio does not indicate a likelihood of this occurrence. It is
management’s opinion that the allowance at March 31, 2007 is adequate to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio at quarter-end.
Deposits
Average
deposits for the first quarter decreased $24.7 million, or 1.22% from the fourth
quarter of 2006 due primarily to a reduction in DDA account balances of $23.2
million reflecting a seasonal variance in public fund and tax deposit balances
which typically spike at year-end.
The
ratio
of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 22.9% for the
first quarter of 2007, compared to 23.7% for the fourth quarter of 2006. For
the
same periods, the ratio of average interest bearing liabilities to average
earning assets was 77.8% and 76.8%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
General.
Liquidity for a banking institution is the availability of funds to meet
increased loan demand, excessive deposit withdrawals, and the payment of other
contractual cash obligations. Management monitors our financial position in
an
effort to ensure we have ready access to sufficient liquid funds to meet normal
transaction requirements and take advantage of investment opportunities and
cover unforeseen liquidity demands. In addition to core deposit growth, sources
of funds available to meet liquidity demands include cash received through
ordinary business activities (i.e., collection of interest and fees), federal
funds sold, loan and investment maturities, our bank lines of credit, approved
lines for the purchase of federal funds by CCB and Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") advances.
Average
liquidity, defined as funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks,
for the first quarter of 2007 was $40.3 million compared to $43.7 million in
the
fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease is primarily reflective of the
aforementioned decline in deposit balances, partially offset by a reduction
in
the loan portfolio. Average liquidity in the second quarter is anticipated
to be
approximately the same or slightly lower than the amount for the first
quarter.
Borrowings.
At
March
31, 2007, we had $52.2 million in borrowings outstanding to the FHLB consisting
of 35 notes. For
the
first three months of the year, the Bank made FHLB advance payments totaling
approximately $5.0 million and obtained one new FHLB advance for $1.7 million.
The
FHLB
notes are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all our 1-4 family
residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and home
equity mortgage loans.
We
have
issued two junior subordinated, deferrable interest notes to two wholly-owned
Delaware statutory trusts. The first note for $30.9 million was issued to CCBG
Capital Trust I in November 2004. The second note for $32.0 million was issued
to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005. The interest payments for the CCBG Capital
Trust I borrowing are due quarterly at a fixed rate of 5.71% for five years,
then adjustable annually to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%. This note matures
on
December 31, 2034. The proceeds of this borrowing were used to partially fund
the acquisition of Farmers and Merchants Bank of Dublin. The interest payments
for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing are due quarterly at a fixed rate of
6.07% for five years, then adjustable quarterly to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%.
This note matures on June 15, 2035. The proceeds of this borrowing were used
to
partially fund the First Alachua Banking Corporation
acquisition.
-22-
Contractual
Cash Obligations.
We
maintain certain contractual arrangements to make future cash payments. The
table below details those future cash payment obligations as of March 31, 2007.
Payments for borrowings do not include interest. Payments related to leases
are
based on actual payments specified in the underlying contracts.

Capital
Equity
capital was $310.5 million as of March 31, 2007 compared to $315.8 million
as of
December 31, 2006. Management continues to monitor our capital position in
relation to our level of assets with the objective of maintaining a strong
capital position. The leverage ratio was 11.22% at March 31, 2007 compared
to
11.30% at December 31, 2006. Further, the risk-adjusted capital ratio of 14.83%
at March 31, 2007 exceeds the 8.0% minimum requirement under the risk-based
regulatory guidelines. As allowed by the Federal Reserve Board capital
guidelines the trust preferred securities issued by CCBG Trust I and CCBG
Capital Trust II are included as Tier 1 capital in our capital
calculations.
Adequate
capital and financial strength is paramount to the stability of CCBG and the
Bank. Cash dividends declared and paid should not place unnecessary strain
on
our capital levels. Although a consistent dividend payment is believed to be
favorably viewed by the financial markets and shareowners, the Board of
Directors will declare dividends only if we are considered to have adequate
capital. Future capital requirements and corporate plans are considered when
the
Board considers a dividend payment. Dividends declared and paid during the
first
quarter of 2007 totaled $.1750 per share compared to $.1625 per share for the
first quarter of 2006, an increase of 7.7%. The dividend payout ratios for
the
first quarter ended 2007 and 2006 were 45.42% and 40.07%,
respectively.
State
and
federal regulations as well as our long-term debt agreements place certain
restrictions on the payment of dividends by both CCBG and the Bank. At March
31,
2007, these regulations and covenants did not impair CCBG or the Bank's ability
to declare and pay dividends or to meet other existing obligations in the normal
course of business.
During
the first three months of 2007, shareowners’ equity decreased $5.3 million, or
6.7%, on an annualized basis. During this same period, shareowners’ equity was
positively impacted by net income of $7.0 million, a decrease in the net
unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $0.3 million, the issuance
of common stock of $0.4 million, and stock-based compensation accretion of
$63,000. Equity was reduced by dividends paid during the first three months
of
the year by $3.2 million, or $.1750 per share and the repurchase/retirement
of
common stock of $9.8 million. At March 31, 2007, our common stock had a book
value of $16.97 per diluted share compared to $17.01 at December 31, 2006.
Our
Board
of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 2,171,875 shares of our
outstanding common stock. The purchases are made in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions. To date, we have repurchased a total of
1,165,938 shares at an average purchase price of $22.37 per share. We
repurchased 286,101 shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2007
at
an average purchase price of $34.13 per share.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not
currently engage in the use of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate
risks. However, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our
clients.
At
March
31, 2007, we had $407.4 million in commitments to extend credit and $18.5
million in standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are
agreements to lend to a client so 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 many of
the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee
the performance of a client to a third party. We use the same credit policies
in
establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-balance
sheet instruments.
If
commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding
at historical levels, management does not anticipate that such funding will
adversely impact its ability to meet on-going obligations. In the event these
commitments require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes
current liquidity, available lines of credit from the FHLB, investment security
maturities and our revolving credit facility provide a sufficient source of
funds to meet these commitments.

ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make
various estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements). We believe that, of our significant accounting policies,
the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Allowance
for Loan Losses.
The
allowance for loan losses is established through a charge to the provision
for
loan losses. Provisions are made to reserve for estimated losses in loan
balances. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and is
evaluated quarterly by us for adequacy. The use of different estimates or
assumptions could produce a different required allowance, and thereby a larger
or smaller provision recognized as expense in any given reporting period. A
further discussion of the allowance for loan losses can be found in the section
entitled "Allowance for Loan Losses" and Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Intangible
Assets.
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, core deposit assets, and other
identifiable intangibles that were recognized in connection with various
acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses
over the fair market value of their identifiable net assets. We perform an
impairment review on an annual basis to determine if there has been impairment
of our goodwill. We have determined that no impairment existed at December
31,
2006. Impairment testing requires management to make significant judgments
and
estimates relating to the fair value of its identified reporting units.
Significant changes to these estimates may have a material impact on our
reported results.
Core
deposit assets represent the premium we paid for core deposits. Core deposit
intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method over various periods
ranging from 5-10 years. Generally, core deposits refer to nonpublic,
non-maturing deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW, money market
and savings. We make certain estimates relating to the useful life of these
assets, and rate of run-off based on the nature of the specific assets and
the
client bases acquired. If there is a reason to believe there has been a
permanent loss in value, management will assess these assets for impairment.
Any
changes in the original estimates may materially affect reported
earnings.
Pension
Assumptions. We
have a
defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of substantially all of our
associates. Our funding policy with respect to the pension plan is to contribute
amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set
by
law. Pension expense, reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income in
noninterest expense as "Salaries and Associate Benefits," is determined by
an
external actuarial valuation based on assumptions that are evaluated annually
as
of December 31, the measurement date for the pension obligation. The
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition reflect an accrued pension
benefit cost due to funding levels and unrecognized actuarial amounts. The
most
significant assumptions used in calculating the pension obligation are the
weighted-average discount rate used to determine the present value of the
pension obligation, the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return
on
plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation increases. These
assumptions are re-evaluated annually with the external actuaries, taking into
consideration both current market conditions and anticipated long-term market
conditions.
The
weighted-average discount rate is determined by matching the anticipated
Retirement Plan cash flows to a long-term corporate Aa-rated bond index and
solving for the underlying rate of return, which investing in such securities
would generate. This methodology is applied consistently from year-to-year.
We
anticipate using a 6.00% discount rate in 2007.
The
weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined
based on the current and anticipated future mix of assets in the plan. The
assets currently consist of equity securities, U.S. Government and Government
Agency debt securities, and other securities (typically temporary liquid funds
awaiting investment). We anticipate using a rate of return on plan assets of
8.0% for 2007.
The
assumed rate of annual compensation increases is based on expected trends in
salaries and the employee base. We used a rate of 5.50% in 2006 and do not
expect this assumption to change materially in 2007.
Information
on components of our net periodic benefit cost is provided in Note 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and Note 12 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS
No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments."
SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" and SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS 155 (i)
permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (ii)
clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject
to the requirements of SFAS 133, (iii) establishes a requirement to
evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that
are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that
contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (iv) clarifies that
concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded
derivatives, and (v) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the 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. SFAS 155 became effective on January 1, 2007, and did not have
a significant impact on the our financial statements.
SFAS No. 157,
"Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is
effective on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant
impact on our financial statements.
SFAS
No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115."
SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value
at specified election dates. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which
the
fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument by
instrument, with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new
election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and
not to portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for us on January 1,
2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial
statements.
Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretations
In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Income Tax
Uncertainties" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the
benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as
"more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority. The recently
issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement
and
classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest
and
penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax
uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures
associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. The differences between
the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the
adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted
for
as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained
earnings. FIN 48 became effective for us in the first quarter of 2007 and did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
|
Overview
Market
risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity
prices, and equity prices. We have risk management policies to monitor and
limit
exposure to market risk and do not participate in activities that give rise
to
significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity
prices. In asset and liability management activities, policies are in place
that
are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.
Interest
Rate Risk Management
The
normal course of business activity exposes us to interest rate risk.
Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market value
of
our financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. We seek to avoid
fluctuations in our net interest margin and to maximize net interest income
within acceptable levels of risk through periods of changing interest rates.
Accordingly, our interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are monitored on an
ongoing basis by our Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which oversees
market risk management and establishes risk measures, limits and policy
guidelines for managing the amount of interest rate risk and its effects on
net
interest income and capital. A variety of measures are used to provide for
a
comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk, the distribution
of
risk, the level of risk over time and the exposure to changes in certain
interest rate relationships.
ALCO
continuously monitors and manages the balance between interest rate-sensitive
assets and liabilities. ALCO's objective is to manage the impact of fluctuating
market rates on net interest income within acceptable levels. In order to meet
this objective, management may adjust the rates charged/paid on loans/deposits
or may shorten/lengthen the duration of assets or liabilities within the
parameters set by ALCO.
Our
financial assets and liabilities are classified as other-than-trading. An
analysis of the other-than-trading financial components, including the fair
values, are presented in Table II. This table presents our consolidated interest
rate sensitivity position as of March 31, 2007 based upon certain assumptions
as
set forth in the Notes to the Table. The objective of interest rate sensitivity
analysis is to measure the impact on our net interest income due to fluctuations
in interest rates. The asset and liability values presented in Table II may
not
necessarily be indicative of our interest rate sensitivity over an extended
period of time.
We
expect
rising rates to have a favorable impact on the net interest margin, subject
to
the magnitude and timeframe over which the rate changes occur. However, as
general interest rates rise or fall, other factors such as current market
conditions and competition may impact how we respond to changing rates and
thus
impact the magnitude of change in net interest income. Non-maturity deposits
offer management greater discretion as to the direction, timing, and magnitude
of interest rate changes and can have a material impact on our interest rate
sensitivity. In addition, the relative level of interest rates as compared
to
the current yields/rates of existing assets/liabilities can impact both the
direction and magnitude of the change in net interest margin as rates rise
and
fall from one period to the next.
Inflation
The
impact of inflation on the banking industry differs significantly from that
of
other industries in which a large portion of total resources are invested in
fixed assets such as property, plant and equipment.
Assets
and liabilities of financial institutions are virtually all monetary in nature,
and therefore are primarily impacted by interest rates rather than changing
prices. While the general level of inflation underlies most interest rates,
interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and
to
changes in monetary and fiscal policy. Net interest income and the interest
rate
spread are good measures of our ability to react to changing interest rates
and
are discussed in further detail in the section entitled "Results of
Operations."

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of
March 31, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated
the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each
concluded that as of March 31, 2007, the end of the period covered by this
Form
10-Q, we maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
has reviewed our internal control. There have been no significant changes in
our
internal control during our most recently completed fiscal quarter, nor
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, that could significantly affect
our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II.
|
OTHER
INFORMATION
|
Legal
Proceedings
|
We
are
party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.
In
management's opinion, there are no known pending claims or litigation, the
outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect
on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash
flows.
Risk
Factors
|
In
addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item
1A.
Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31,
2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future
results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the
only
risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us
or
that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect
our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
