7 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company recognizes the cost of stock-based associate stock compensation in
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment” (Revised) under the
fair value method.
As of
March 31, 2008, 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, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $192,000 and $106,000,
respectively. The Company, under the terms and conditions of the AIP,
maintained a 2011 Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) which was terminated in March
2008 and approximately $577,000 in related expense accrued for this plan was
reversed during the first quarter of 2008.
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 adopted the
Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the "2006 Incentive Plan"), effective January 1,
2006, which was a performance-based equity bonus plan for selected members of
management, including all executive officers. Under the 2006 Incentive
Plan, all participants were eligible to earn an equity award, in the form of
performance shares, on an annual basis over a term of five years. Annual
awards were tied to an internally established annual earnings target linked to
the Company’s 2011 strategic initiative.
The
Company terminated the 2006 Incentive Plan in March 2008 in conjunction with the
termination of the Company’s 2011 strategic initiative. Due to the
performance targets not being met, no expense was recognized in 2008 or 2007 for
the 2006 Incentive Plan.
During
the first quarter of 2008, under the terms and conditions of the AIP, the
Company adopted a new Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2008 Incentive Plan”),
substantially similar to the 2006 Incentive Plan. All participants in
this plan are eligible to earn an equity award, in the form of restricted
stock. The award for 2008 is tied to internally established
performance goals. The grant-date fair value of the compensation
award for 2008 is approximately $581,000. In addition, each plan
participant is eligible to receive from the Company a tax supplement bonus equal
to 31% of the stock award value at the time of issuance. A total of
20,583 shares are eligible for issuance.
A total
of 875,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the
AIP. To date, the Company has issued a total of 60,892 shares of
common stock under the AIP.
Executive Stock Option
Agreement. For 2003 through 2006, under the provisions of the
AIP (and its predecessor), the Company's Board of Directors approved stock
option agreements for a key executive officer (William G. Smith, Jr. - Chairman,
President and CEO, CCBG). These agreements granted 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 2006
and 2005 agreements, the earnings per share conditions were not met; therefore,
no options were granted and no expense was recognized related to these
agreements. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and SFAS
123, the Company recognized expenses in 2005 through 2007 of approximately
$193,000, $205,000, and $125,000, 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 in the first quarter of 2008 as results fell
short of the earnings performance goal.

As of
March 31, 2008, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to the
option shares granted under the agreements.
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 38,092 shares have been issued since the inception of the
DSPP. For the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized approximately
$16,000 in expense related to this plan. For the first quarter of 2007, the
Company 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 69,749 shares have
been issued since inception of the ASPP. For the first quarter of 2008, the
Company recognized approximately $30,000 in expense related to this
plan. For the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized $25,000 in
expense related to the ASPP.
Based on
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average estimated fair
value of each of the purchase rights granted under the ASPP was $5.51 for the
first quarter of 2008. For the first quarter of 2007, the weighted average
fair value purchase right granted was $5.91. In calculating compensation,
the fair value of each stock purchase right was estimated on the date of grant
using the following weighted average assumptions:

9 - 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, 2008, the amounts associated with the
Company’s off-balance sheet obligations were as follows:
(Dollars in Millions)
|
Amount
|
|||
Commitments
to Extend Credit(1)
|
$ | 429 | ||
Standby
Letters of Credit
|
$ | 17 |
(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.
Indemnification
Obligation. The Company recorded a charge in its fourth
quarter 2007 financial statements of approximately $1.9 million, or $0.07 per
diluted common share, to recognize a contingent liability related to the costs
of the judgments and settlements from certain Visa Inc. (“Visa”) related
litigation (“Covered Litigation”). Visa U.S.A. believes that its
member banks are required to indemnify Visa U.S.A. for potential losses arising
from certain Covered Litigation. The Company has been a Visa U.S.A.
member for a number of years.
The
Company reversed a portion of the Covered Litigation accrual in the amount of
approximately $1.1 million to account for the establishment of an escrow account
by Visa Inc. in conjunction with its initial public offering during the first
quarter of 2008. This escrow account was established to pay the costs
of the judgments and settlements from the Covered
Litigation. Approximately $0.8 million remains accrued for the FIN 45
contingent liability related to remaining Visa Inc. litigation.
NOTE
10 - 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. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net
income and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale
(net of income taxes) and changes in the pension liability (net of
taxes). Changes in unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, on securities
totaled approximately $986,000 and $315,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Reclassification adjustments consist
only of realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities and were not
material for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
NOTE
11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," for financial assets and
financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157," the Company will delay application of SFAS 157 for
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, until January 1, 2009.
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
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A
fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or
transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability
or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the
asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous)
market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be
adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction
that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date
to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions
involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction.
Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that
are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact
and (iv) willing to transact.
SFAS 157
requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market
approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market
approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The
income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as
cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis.
The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required
to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation
techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques
refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the
assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or
unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions
about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting
entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than
quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or
similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest
rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are
derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other
means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable
inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an
entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair
value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the
valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were
applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities
carried at fair value effective January 1, 2008.
In
general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available.
If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon
models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters.
Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are
recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect
counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things,
as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are
applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may
produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable
value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the
Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other
market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to
determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a
different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities Available for
Sale.
Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value on
a recurring basis utilizing Level 1, 2, or 3 inputs. For these securities,
the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service
or a model that uses, as inputs, observable market based parameters. The
fair value measurements consider observable data that may include quoted prices
in active markets, or other inputs, including dealer quotes, market spreads,
cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution
data, market consensus prepayment speeds, and credit information and the bond's
terms and conditions.
The
following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, segregated by the
level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to
measure fair value:

Certain
financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on
an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain
circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis were not significant at March 31, 2008.
Impaired Loans. On
a non-recurring basis, certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of
the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized
discounting criteria. Impaired loans had a carrying value of $46.1
million, with a valuation allowance of $6.1 million, resulting in an additional
provision for loan losses of $1.4 million for the period.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held
for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value are adjusted to
fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value is based on
observable market rates for comparable loan products which is considered a level
2 fair value measurement.
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159,
"The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." SFAS 159 permits
the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified
election dates. Changes in fair value on items for which the fair
value measurement option has been elected are reported in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The fair value option (i) is applied instrument
by instrument, with certain exceptions, thus the Company may record identical
financial assets and liabilities at fair value or by another measurement basis
permitted under generally accepted accounting principals, (ii) is
irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only
to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Adoption of
SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008 did not have a significant impact on the
Company’s financial statements because the Company did not elect fair value
measurement under SFAS 159.

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." The
following information should provide a better understanding of the major factors
and trends that affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how
our performance during 2008 compares with prior years. Throughout
this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively, are
referred to as "CCBG," "Company," "we," "us," or "our."
In this
MD&A, we present an operating efficiency ratio and an operating net
noninterest expense as a percent of average assets ratio, 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 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 merger expenses from noninterest
income. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as part of its
assessment of its performance in managing noninterest expenses. We
believe that excluding intangible amortization and merger expenses in our
calculations better reflect our periodic expenses and is more reflective 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.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
We are a
financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, and we 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 70 full-service offices located in Florida, Georgia, and
Alabama. The Bank also has a two mortgage lending offices located in
Florida and one additional Georgia community. The Bank offers
commercial and retail banking services, as well as trust and asset management,
merchant services, retail 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, retail securities brokerage fees, mortgage banking revenues, merchant
service fees, 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 maintain 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 with a dedicated
president for each market, and community 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.
Our
long-term vision is to continue 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. Six markets have been identified, five in
Florida and one in Georgia, in which management will proactively pursue
expansion opportunities. These markets include Alachua, Marion,
Hernando, and Pasco Counties in Florida, the western panhandle in Florida,
and Bibb and surrounding counties in central Georgia. We continue to
evaluate de novo expansion opportunities in attractive new markets in the event
that acquisition opportunities are not feasible. Expansion
opportunities that will be evaluated include asset management and mortgage
banking.

per diluted share.
|
|
·
|
Tax
equivalent net interest income declined $1.8 million, or 6.3%, from the

|
·
|
Noninterest
income increased $3.8 million, or 27.5%, over the first quarter of 2007

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. Tax equivalent net interest income
for the first quarter of 2008 declined $1.8 million or 6.3% compared to the
first quarter of 2007. The decline in net interest income is
attributable to compression of our net interest margin. Table I on
page 32 provides a comparative analysis of our average balances and interest
rates.
While we
believe we have been successful in neutralizing the impact of reductions in the
Federal Reserve’s federal funds rate over the last two quarters, a rising level
of foregone interest income associated with higher levels of nonperforming
assets, and the recent influx of higher cost negotiated deposits (primarily
public funds) are the primary factors producing a decline in the net interest
margin of 56 basis points over first quarter 2007. Average
negotiated deposits have grown from $275 million in the first quarter of 2007 to
$538 million in the most recent quarter. Although this growth in
deposits has had a positive impact on net interest income, it has had an adverse
impact on our margin due to the relatively thin spreads on these
deposits. See “Discussion of Financial Condition” for a more detailed
analysis of nonperforming assets and deposit growth.
For the
first quarter of 2008, taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $2.7
million, or 6.5%, over the first quarter in 2007. The decrease was
attributable to lower yields resulting from the Federal Reserve rate cuts and a
shift in mix on earning assets. Compared to the first quarter of
2007, the average yield on earning assets declined 84 basis
points. We anticipate that our income on earning assets will continue
to decline in the current rate environment during the second
quarter.
Interest
expense for the first quarter decreased $900,000, or 7.0%, from the comparable
period in 2007. The average cost of funds decreased 28 basis points
from the first quarter of 2007 to 2.14%. Since September 2007, we
have aggressively reduced our deposit rates in response to the rate reductions
initiated by the Federal Reserve and believe we have been successful in
neutralizing these rate reductions. However, the rapid growth in the
higher cost negotiated deposits (primarily public funds) mitigated the full
impact of lowering our deposit rates and, therefore, the decline in our average
cost of funds was not commensurate with the decline in our average yield on
earning assets. We anticipate that our average cost of funds will
continue to decline 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 4.60% in the first quarter of 2007 to 4.28% in the comparable
period of 2008. The decline reflects the shift in mix on earning
assets and the lower yields due to the Federal Reserve rate cuts, partially
offset by the lower cost of funds.
Our net
yield on earning assets (defined as federal taxable-equivalent net interest
income divided by average earning assets) was 4.73% in the first three months of
2008, versus 5.29% for the comparable quarter in 2007. The margin
decrease is primarily attributable to higher foregone interest related to
nonaccrual loans and the recent influx of higher cost negotiated
deposits. Market conditions and competition likely will continue to
place pressure on net interest margin during the second quarter.
Provision
for Loan Losses
The
provision for loan losses for the quarter was $4.1 million compared to $1.2
million for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in the provision
for the current quarter is due to credit deterioration resulting in a higher
level of impaired loans and related reserves and an increase in reserves
allocated to consumer loans. These increases reflect the impact of
the housing and real estate market slowdown, and the related stress on the
consumer. For the quarter, net charge-offs totaled $1.9 million, or
.41%, of average loans compared to $1.3 million, or .28% in the first quarter of
2007. At quarter-end, the allowance for loan losses was 1.06% of
outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 54% of
nonperforming loans.

Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income for the first quarter increased $3.8 million, or 27.5%, over the first
quarter of 2007. The increase is attributable to a pre-tax gain of
$2.4 million from the redemption of Visa Inc. shares as well as higher deposit
and bank card fees of $720,000 and $474,000,
respectively. Noninterest income represented 40.2% of operating
revenues in the first quarter of 2008 compared to 33.0% in the first quarter of
2007.

Together called “Bank Card Fees”
Various
significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail
below.
Service Charges on Deposit
Accounts. Deposit service charge fees increased $720,000, or
11.9%, over the first quarter of 2007 due to a higher level of NSF/OD
activity.
Asset Management
Fees. Fees from asset management were down $75,000 or 6.1% due
to a reduction in assets under management primarily reflective of the loss of
one large account in early 2007. At March 31, 2008, assets under
management totaled $758.7 million compared to $764.7 million at the end of the
first quarter of 2007.
Mortgage Banking
Revenues. Mortgage banking revenues declined $185,000, or
27.3%, from the first quarter of 2007 generally reflective of the housing market
slowdown. Our loan pipeline, however, increased 27% from the end of
the linked quarter reflecting some positive momentum in the residential
market.
Bank Card
Fees. Bank card fees (including merchant services fees,
interchange fees, and ATM/debit card fees) increased $475,000, or 13.6% due to
higher transaction volume.
Other. Other
income increased $2.7 million, or 204.2% from the first quarter of 2007 due
primarily to a $2.4 million gain from the redemption of Visa Inc. shares related
to their initial public offering. Higher fees received for accounts
receivable financing and gains from the sale of other real estate in the first
quarter of 2008 also contributed to the increase.
Noninterest
Expense
Noninterest
expense decreased $764,000, or 2.5%, from the first quarter of
2007. A reversal of $1.1 million of litigation accrual for Covered
Litigation was the primary reason for the decline.

Noninterest Expense
|
$ | 29,798 | $ | 30,562 |
Various
significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail
below.
Compensation. Salaries
and associate benefit expense declined $115,000, or .73%, due to the reversal of
$577,000 in accrued incentive expense related to our 2011 Incentive Plan which
was terminated during the first quarter of 2008. Partially offsetting
this reduction in expense was higher associate salaries reflective of annual
merit and market related salary adjustments.
Occupancy. Occupancy
expense (including premises and equipment) increased $359,000, or 7.8%, due to
higher depreciation expense and maintenance and repair expense for furniture,
fixtures, and equipment. The increase in depreciation expense
reflects the addition of capitalized assets related to new banking offices and
the purchase of a new phone system in late 2007. The increase in
maintenance and repair expense is related to higher expense for maintenance
agreements in part due to the opening of new banking offices, but more
significantly, maintenance related to the purchase of new software during
2007.
Other. Other
noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 9.8%, from the first quarter of
2007 due primarily to the reversal of the FAS 5 portion ($1.1 million) of
litigation reserve related to certain Visa Inc. litigation which was accrued for
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Approximately $800,000 remains accrued
for Visa Inc. litigation.
Operating
net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus noninterest expense, excluding
intangible amortization expenses) as a percent of average assets was 1.60% for
the first quarter of 2008 compared to 2.43% for the first quarter of
2007. Our operating efficiency ratio (noninterest expense, excluding
intangible amortization expense, expressed as a percent of the sum of
taxable-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income) was 63.15% for
the first quarter of 2008 compared to 67.90% for the same period in
2007. The variances in these metrics include the impact of Visa Inc.
related entries during the first quarter of 2008 which were previously discussed
in detail.
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income taxes decreased $493,000, or 14.0%, from the first quarter
of 2007, reflecting slightly lower taxable income and the resolution of a tax
contingency during the first quarter of 2008. Our effective tax rate
for the first quarter of 2008 was 29.44% compared to 33.7% for the same quarter
in 2007 with the variance being driven primarily by the tax reserve adjustment
previously mentioned.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Average
assets increased $126.8 million, or 5.03%, to $2.646 billion for the
quarter-ended March 31, 2008 from $2.520 billion in the fourth quarter of
2007. Average earning assets of $2.301 billion increased $110.2
million, or 5.03%, from the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase was
due to an increase in short-term investments reflective of an increase in our
client deposit balances (see discussion below). We discuss balance
sheet variances in more detail below.
Funds
Sold
We ended
the first quarter with approximately $186.8 million in average net overnight
funds sold, compared to $84.1 million net average overnight funds sold in the
fourth quarter of 2007. A recent influx of public deposits
contributed to the growth in overnight funds for the first quarter.
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, 2008, the average investment portfolio
decreased $836,000, or .45%, from the fourth quarter of 2007. We will
continue to evaluate the need to purchase securities for the investment
portfolio for the remainder of 2008, 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, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, shareowners’ equity included a net unrealized gain of $1.2
million and $246,000, respectively.
Loans
Average
loans increased $1.5 million, or .08% from the fourth quarter of 2007 due to a
steady pace of new loan production and a slowdown in the level of loan payoffs
and pay-downs.
Nonperforming
Assets
Nonperforming
assets of $41.1 million increased from the linked fourth quarter by $12.9
million. Nonaccrual loans increased $10.2 million from the same
period due primarily to the addition of three large real estate loan
relationships totaling $9.8 million, which management believes have been
adequately reserved for at quarter-end. These new nonaccrual
loans are related to non-coastal residential real estate
developments. Restructured loans totaled $2.0 million at the end of
the first quarter. Other real estate owned totaled $3.8 million at
the end of the quarter compared to $3.0 million at year-end
2007. Nonperforming assets represented 2.14% of loans and other real
estate at the end of the first quarter compared to 1.47% at year-end
2007.
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, 2008 was $20.3 million, compared to $18.1
million at December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008, the allowance
represented 1.06% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage
of 54% of nonperforming loans, compared to 0.95% and 147%, respectively at
December 31, 2007. The increase in the allowance for loan losses is
driven by a higher level of reserves for impaired loans and our consumer loan
portfolio reflecting the slowdown in housing and real estate markets and the
related financial impact on the consumer. 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, 2008 is adequate to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio at quarter-end.
Deposits
Average
total deposits were $2.149 billion for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of
$132.1 million, or 6.6%, over the linked fourth quarter. The increase
was driven by strong growth in negotiated NOW accounts, primarily public funds
deposits which began migrating late in the fourth quarter from the Florida State
Board of Administration’s Local Government Investment Pool to Capital City
Bank. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in noninterest
bearing accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of
deposit.
The ratio
of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 18.8% for the
first quarter of 2008, compared to 20.8% for the fourth quarter of
2007. For the same periods, the ratio of average interest bearing
liabilities to average earning assets was 82.7% and 80.0%,
respectively.
Market
Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Overview
Our net
income is largely dependent on net interest income. Net interest income is
susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets.
When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market
rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when
interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing
liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest
income. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of
interest-earning assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather
than by other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and
shareowners’ equity.
We have
established a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy, which is
administered by management’s Asset Liability Management Committee
(“ALCO”). The policy establishes limits of risk, which are
quantitative measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure
of net interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital (a measure
of economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical
change in interest rates for maturities from one day to 30 years. We
measure the potential adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on
its short-term earnings, long-term value, and liquidity by employing simulation
analysis through the use of computer modeling. The simulation model
captures optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and
floors imbedded in investment and loan portfolio contracts. As with
any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings
inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by us. When
interest rates change, actual movements in different categories of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan prepayments, and
withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly from
assumptions used in the model. Finally, the methodology does not
measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have on adjustable-rate loan
clients’ ability to service their debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand
for loan, lease, and deposit products.
We
prepare a current base case and three alternative simulations, at least once a
quarter, and report the analysis to the Board of Directors. In
addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are
particularly uncertain or when other business conditions so
dictate.
Our
interest rate risk management goals are (1) to increase net interest income at a
growth rate consistent with the growth rate of total assets and (2) to minimize
fluctuations in net interest margin as a percentage of earning
assets. Management attempts to achieve these goals by balancing,
within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate liabilities with a similar
volume of floating-rate assets, by keeping the average maturity of fixed-rate
asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by maintaining a pool of
administered core deposits, and by adjusting pricing rates to market conditions
on a continuing basis.
The
balance sheet is subject to testing for interest rate shock possibilities to
indicate the inherent interest rate risk. Average interest rates are shocked by
plus or minus 100 and 200 basis points (“bp”) and plus 300bp, although we may
elect not to use particular scenarios that we determined are impractical in a
current rate environment. It is management’s goal to structure the
balance sheet so that net interest earnings at risk over a 12 -month period and
the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines at the
various interest rate shock levels.
We
augment our quarterly interest rate shock analysis with alternative external
interest rate scenarios on a monthly basis. These alternative
interest rate scenarios may include non-parallel rate ramps and non-parallel
yield curve twists.
Analysis
Measures
of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of
an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate
environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively
brief period, usually one year. They do not necessarily indicate the
long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net
Interest Income at Risk position improved since the fourth quarter of 2007 in
all rate scenarios. All of the above measures of net interest income
at risk remained well within prescribed policy limits. Although assumed to be
unlikely, our largest exposure is at the -200bp level, with a measure of
-6.68%. This is also well within our prescribed policy limit of
-7.5%.
The
measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value by
considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all of our cash flows,
and discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of assets and
liabilities. The difference between these discounted values of the assets and
liabilities is the economic value of equity, which, in theory, approximates the
fair value of our net assets.

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 sufficient access to 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 2008 was $206.3 million compared to $96.7 million in
the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase reflects the influx of
public deposits during the first quarter (see discussion above – Deposits).
Borrowings. At
March 31, 2008, advances from the FHLB consisted of $41.7 million in outstanding
debt and 33 notes. For the first three months of the year, the Bank
made FHLB advance payments totaling approximately $.8 million and obtained four
new FHLB advances totaling $3.8 million. The FHLB notes are
collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all of our 1-4 family residential
mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and home equity mortgage
loans.
We have
the ability to draw on a $25.0 million Revolving Credit Note with SunTrust that
is due on March 2010. Interest is payable monthly at the floating 30
day LIBOR plus .75%. Principal is due at maturity. The
revolving credit is unsecured. The existing loan agreement contains
certain financial covenants that we must maintain. At March 31, 2008,
we were in compliance with all of the terms of the agreement and had $25.0
million available under the line of credit facility.
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.
Capital
Equity
capital was $297.7 million as of March 31, 2008, compared to $292.7 million as
of December 31, 2007. 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 10.32% at March 31,
2008 compared to 10.41% at December 31, 2007. Further, the
risk-adjusted capital ratio of 14.01% at March 31, 2008 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 Capital 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 2008 totaled $.185 per share
compared to $.175 per share for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of
5.7%. The dividend payout ratios for the first quarter ended 2008 and
2007 were 43.8% and 45.4%, respectively.
State and
federal regulations place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by
both CCBG and the Bank. At March 31, 2008, 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 2008, shareowners’ equity increased $5.0 million, or
6.8%, on an annualized basis. During this same period, shareowners’
equity was positively impacted by net income of $7.3 million and the issuance of
common stock of $0.5 million, and an increase in the net unrealized gain on
available-for-sale securities of $1.0 million. Equity was reduced by
dividends paid during the first three months by $3.0 million, or $.185 per
share, the repurchase/retirement of common stock of $.7 million, and a
miscellaneous adjustment related to retained earnings related to the adoption of
EITF 06-4. At March 31, 2008, our common stock had a book value of
$17.33 per diluted share compared to $17.03 at December 31, 2007.
Our Board
of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 2,671,875 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 2,309,201 shares at an average purchase price of $26.09 per
share. We repurchased 25,000 shares of our common stock in the first
quarter of 2008 at an average purchase price of $29.30 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, 2008, we had $429.3 million in commitments to extend credit and $17.0
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,
and investment security maturities 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 2007 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,
2007. 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 6.25% discount rate in
2008.
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 2008.
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 2007 and
do not expect this assumption to change materially in 2008.
Information
on components of our net periodic benefit cost is provided in Note 8 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and Note 12 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2007 Form 10-K.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 141,
“Business Combinations (Revised 2007).” SFAS 141R replaces SFAS
141, “Business Combinations,” and applies to all transactions and other events
in which one entity obtains control over one or more other
businesses. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially
obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition
date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and
measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date
when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable
doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process
required under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to
the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated
fair value. SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense
acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under
SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, the requirements of
SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities,” would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in
purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair
value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to
materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting
and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable
recognition criteria of SFAS 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies.” SFAS 141R is effective for business
combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. We are in the
process of reviewing the impact of SFAS 141R.
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
(see Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements).
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 (see Note 11 – Fair
Value Measurements).
SFAS No. 160,
“Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
ARB Statement No. 51.” SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research
Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160
clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes
referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated
entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated
financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160
requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling
interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling
interest. SFAS 160 is effective on January 1, 2009 and is
not expected to have a significant impact on our financial
statements.
Emerging
Issues Task Force Issues
In
September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus the EITF reached regarding EITF
Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue
06-4”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related
to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer
owns and controls the insurance policies. The consensus concludes
that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in
accordance with Statement 106. In addition, the consensus states that
an employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the
arrangement with the employee. Issue 06-4 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application
permitted. We adopted EITF 06-4 on January 1, 2008 as a change in
accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings
totaling $30,000.
SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletins
SAB No.
109, "Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through
Earnings." SAB No. 109 supersedes SAB No. 105, "Application of
Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments," and indicates that the expected net
future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be
included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted
for at fair value through earnings. The guidance in SAB No. 109
became effective on January 1, 2008 and did not have a material impact on
our financial statements.

Termination
of the 2006 Incentive Plan
On March
27, 2008, our Board of Directors terminated the 2006 Incentive Plan, which had
been adopted by our Board of Directors effective as of January 1,
2006. The 2006 Incentive Plan was a performance-based equity bonus
plan in which selected members of management, including all named executive
officers, were eligible to participate. The 2006 Incentive Plan was
administered under our 2005 Associate Incentive Plan (“AIP”).
A total
of 32,799 shares were awarded under the 2006 Incentive Plan, including an
aggregate of 6,648 shares to our named executive officers. The 2006
Incentive Plan’s performance goals had been tied to our long-term strategic
plan, Project 2011, which set an aggressive goal of achieving $50 million in
annual earnings by 2011. Due to adverse economic conditions which are
outside our control, Project 2011 was terminated as set forth in our Form 8-K
filing on February 15, 2008.
Approval
of the 2008 Incentive Plan
On March
27, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the 2008 Stock-Based Incentive Plan
(the “2008 Incentive Plan”) in accordance with 2005 Associate Incentive Plan
(“AIP”) for certain of our officers. Under the 2008 Incentive Plan
and consistent with the objectives of the AIP, participants may receive equity
awards in the form of restricted stock, if certain performance goals are
satisfied for the 2008 calendar year performance period.
The
Compensation Committee reserved an aggregate of 20,583 shares of our stock for
issuance pursuant to the 2008 Incentive Plan. In addition, the
Compensation Committee established performance goals and a bonus formula for the
2008 Incentive Plan. The goals under the 2008 Incentive Plan include
an equal weighted average of certain balance sheet growth, earnings growth, and
credit quality metrics. The maximum equity award payable under the
2008 Incentive Plan to our three named executive officers is 22.1% of the
reserved shares, and will be payable only if the performance goals are
achieved. Equity awards payable under the 2008 Incentive Plan to the
remaining participants will not exceed 77.9% of the reserved
shares.
