NOTE 4 EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR BENEFITS
Stock Options
At June 30, 2008, the Company has stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The
compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was approximately $159,000 and
$320,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and $137,000 and $257,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Included in stock-based compensation for 2008 and
2007 is expense recognized related to option and warrants granted in 2005, the fair value of which
were determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model.
Under the Companys 2005 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the Plan), there are 1,025,000
shares authorized for issuance. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to
the estimated fair market value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant. The maximum
term of the options granted under the plan is ten years.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has granted non-plan options to certain key relationships to purchase up to an
aggregate amount of 55,000 shares of the Companys common stock at between $15.00 and $20.00 per
share for 10 years. These options are non-qualified and not part of the 2005 Amended and Restated
Stock Option Plan.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award using a Black-Scholes-Merton
valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.
Expected volatilities are based on an index of Alabama traded community banks. The expected term
for options granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that options
granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life
of the option is based on the U. S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock Warrants
In recognition of the efforts and financial risks undertaken by the Banks organizers in 2005, the
Bank granted warrants to organizers to purchase a total 60,000 shares of common stock at a price of
$10, which was the fair market value of the Banks common stock at the date of the grant. The
warrants vest in equal annual increments over a three-year period commencing on the first
anniversary date of the Banks incorporation and will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the
incorporation date. The total number of warrants outstanding at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 60,000.

NOTE 5 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING INTERPRETATIONS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting
by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value option (by
instrument) will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.
The fair value option election is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand
the effect of the entitys election on its earnings, but does not eliminate disclosure requirements
of other financial accounting standards. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value
must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. The Company chose not to elect the fair value
option for its financial assets and financial liabilities existing at January 1, 2008 and did not
elect the fair value option on financial assets and financial liabilities transacted in the six
months ended June 30, 2008. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements, for financial
assets and financial liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This
pronouncement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. On November 14, 2007, FASB issued SFAS 157-2, Effective
Date FASB Statement No. 157. FASB No. 157-2 delays the effective date of Statement No. 157 for
other non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The companys adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements for financial assets and financial liabilities and any
other assets or liabilities carried at fair value.

NOTE 6 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard
(FAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (FAS 162). Under FAS
162, the GAAP hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB.
FAS162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the
principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. FAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Auditing amendments to AU Section 411 The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. FAS 162 will not impact our financial statements.
In March, 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities-an amendment of FASB No. 133. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure
about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and
related hedging items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedging items affect an entitys financial position,
financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt this
Statement at the beginning of the Companys fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Company has
not determined the effect that the adoption of FAS 161 will have on its financial statement
disclosures.
NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No.
157, Fair value Measurements, to value its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at
fair value. As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements, SFAS No.157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and
unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. | |||
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. | |||
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. |
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of
observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as
considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

(1) | The Company chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by SFAS No. 159 for its financial assets and financial liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, certain financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value, such as the Companys investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank are still reported at their carrying values. |
During the first and second quarter of 2008 the Company recognized losses related to certain
assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (i.e.
loans). Approximately $491,000 of losses related to loans were recognized as specific allocations to the allowance
for loan losses in the six months ended June 30, 2008, including
$433,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better understanding of various
factors relating to the results of operations and financial condition of ServisFirst Bancshares,
Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ServisFirst Bank. This discussion is intended
to supplement and highlight information contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
Forward Looking Statements
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements
contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and reports to stockholders.
Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to,
statements concerning future operations, results or performance, are hereby identified as forward
looking statements for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Such forward-looking
statements are made based upon our managements belief as well as assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, our management. Our actual results may differ materially from
the results anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including
governmental monetary and fiscal policies, deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values,
securities portfolio values, interest rate risk management; general economic conditions, especially
in the credit markets and in the Southeast; the performance of the capital markets; changes in
interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; changes in accounting and tax
principles, policies or guidelines changes in the loan portfolio and our deposit base; the effects
of competition in the banking business from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking
firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies,
money market funds and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere,
including institutions operating through the Internet; changes in governmental regulation relating
to the banking industry, including regulations relating to branching and acquisitions, failure of
assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for loan losses, including the value of
collateral underlying delinquent loans and other factors. We caution that such factors are not
exclusive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time
to time by, or on behalf of, us.
Business
We are a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, we operate seven
full service banking offices located in Jefferson, Shelby, Madison and Montgomery counties in the
metropolitan statistical areas (hereinafter, and more commonly, referred to as MSAs) of
Birmingham-Hoover, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama.
We were originally incorporated as a Delaware corporation in August 2007 for the purpose of
acquiring all of the common stock of ServisFirst Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (separately
referred to herein as the Bank), that was formed on April 28, 2005 and commenced operations on
May 2, 2005. On November 29, 2007, we became the sole shareholder of the Bank by virtue of a plan
of reorganization and agreement of merger pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for
the purpose of the reorganization was merged with and into the Bank with the Bank surviving and
each shareholder of the Bank exchanging their shares of the Banks common stock for an equal number
of shares of our common stock.
We were organized to facilitate the Banks ability to serve its customers requirements for
financial services. The holding company structure provides flexibility for expansion of our banking
business through the possible acquisition of other financial institutions, the provision
14
Table of Contents
of additional banking-related services which the traditional commercial bank may not provide under
present laws and additional financing alternatives such as the issuance of trust preferred
securities. We have no present plans to acquire any operating subsidiaries in addition to the Bank,
but we may make acquisitions in the future if we deem them to be in the best interest of our
stockholders. Any such acquisitions would be subject to applicable regulatory approvals and
requirements. However, we do plan to issue trust preferred securities for the purpose of increasing
our capital base if and when we deem market conditions to be acceptable.
We are headquartered at 3300 Cahaba Road, Suite 300, Birmingham, Alabama 35223 (Jefferson County).
In addition to the Jefferson County headquarters, the Bank currently operates through two offices
in the Birmingham-Hoover, Alabama MSA (one office in Jefferson County and one office in North
Shelby County), two offices in the Huntsville, Alabama MSA (Madison County) and two offices in the
Montgomery, Alabama MSA (Montgomery County) which constitute our primary service areas. We also
serve certain adjacent areas to our primary service areas. Our principal business is to accept
deposits from the public and to make loans and other investments. Our principal source of funds for
loans and investments are demand, time, savings, and other deposits (including negotiable orders of
withdrawal, or NOW accounts) and the amortization and prepayment of loans and borrowings. Our
principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, interest and dividends
collected on other investments and service charges. Our principal expenses are interest paid on
savings and other deposits (including NOW accounts), interest paid on our other borrowings,
employee compensation, office expenses and other overhead expenses.
Overview
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had total consolidated assets of $973,110,000 an increase of
$134,860,000 or 16.09% over the $838,250,000 reported at December 31, 2007. Total loans were
$836,520,000 at June 30, 2008, a $161,239,000 or 23.88% increase over the $675,281,000 at December
31, 2007. Total deposits were $847,425,000 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $84,742,000 or 11.11%
over the $762,683,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in loans and deposits was from organic
growth in existing branches in Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama, and our expansion into the
Montgomery, Alabama market beginning in 2007.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $1,750,000 an increase of $453,000 or 34.93%
compared to the $1,297,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Basic earnings per common share
were $0.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with $0.29 for the same period in
2007.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and financial policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These
estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the
disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of
foreclosed real estate and fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

The banks investment portfolio consists of mortgage-backed pass-thru securities, tax exempt
securities and corporate bonds. The bank does not invest in collateral debt obligations (CDOs).
All tax exempt securities are issued by municipalities within the State of Alabama. All corporate
bonds have a Standard and Poors or Moodys rating of A-1 or better when purchased. The June 30,
2008 total investment portfolio has a combined average credit rating of AA+.
At June 30, 2008, we had $72,000 in federal funds sold, compared with $16,598,000 at December 31,
2007. The decrease in 2008 is due to the strong loan demand in the first half of 2008.
Loans
We had total loans of $836,520,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $675,281,000 at December 31, 2007,
an increase of $161,239,000 or 23.88%. At June 30, 2008, 63.90% of our loans were in our Birmingham
offices, 25.89% in our Huntsville offices, and 10.21% in our Montgomery offices. The following

Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to
absorb anticipated credit losses from identified and otherwise inherent risks in the loan portfolio
as of the balance sheet date. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses management
considers its evaluation of the loan portfolio, past due loan experience, collateral values,
current economic conditions and other factors considered necessary to maintain the allowance at an
adequate level. Management feels that the allowance is adequate at June 30, 2008.
The company has allocated 46.92% of the total loan loss reserve to real estate construction loans at June 30, 2008. Management is
very aggressive with its portfolio monitoring to identify and deteriorating loans, act quickly to attempt
workout, or, if need be, foreclose and write down the assets. Disposing of these assets quickly while limiting losses is our top priority
to minimize the impact on capital.

Non-performing Assets
It is our policy to classify loans as non-accrual when they are past due in principal or interest
payments for more than ninety days or if it is otherwise not reasonable to expect collection of
principal and interest due under the original terms. Exceptions are allowed for ninety day past due
loans when such loans are secured by real estate or negotiable collateral and in the process of
collection. Generally, payments received on non-accrual loans are applied directly to principal.
We have adopted the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 114 and No.
118 relating to accounting for impaired loans and as of June 30, 2008, our impaired loans,
inclusive of non-accrual loans, totaled $10,125,000, and had associated reserves of approximately
$1,861,000. This compares to impaired loans and associated reserves of $11,612,000 and $1,370,000,
respectively at December 31, 2007. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable, based on
current information and events; the company will be unable to collect all principal and interest
payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are
measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if
the loan is collateral dependant. The amount of impairment, if any, and subsequent changes are
included in the allowance for loan losses. Interest on accruing impaired loans is recognized as
long as such loans do not meet the criteria for nonaccrual status.
Non-performing assets, comprised of non-accrual loans, loans ninety days or more past due and still
accruing, and other real estate owned totaled $13,195,000 at June 30, 2008, compared
19
Table of Contents
to $6,094,000 at December 31, 2007. Non-accrual loans were $3,218,000 at June 30, 2008, a decrease
of $1,066,000 from non-accrual loans of $4,284,000 at December 31, 2007. Loans ninety days past due
and still accruing totaled $1,775,000 at June 30, 2008, compared to $187,000 at December 31, 2007.
Other real estate owned totaled $8,202,000 as of June 30, 2008, compared to $1,623,000 at December
31, 2007.
A summary of nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 follows:

The decrease to our non-accrual loans during the first half of 2008 is the net result of
transfers to OREO.
Our OREO procedures currently determine disposition value, the value used to place the property
into OREO, based on the most recent fair value appraisal of the property that we have at the time,
less estimated costs to sell the property. Any difference between the disposition value and the
loan balance is for charged off. Once the property is in OREO sales efforts begin.
Based on the change in economic conditions, in particular the slow down in the
residential construction industry, non performing assets could increase due to the inability of customers to service their debt.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $84,742,000 or 11.11% to $847,425,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to
$762,683,000 reported at December 31, 2007. The company experienced good deposit growth in the first half of 2008 as a result of our
expansion into the Montgomery market in 2007 and expanded customer relationships in the Birmingham and Huntsville markets. We
anticipate that deposit growth will closely match future loan demand in the second half of 2008. Management is reviewing the rate structure of their current deposit products and is making the necessary adjustments to further increase
deposit growth, such as increasing certificate of deposit rates and expanding current deposit relationships through the efforts of our officers.
For amounts and rates of our deposits by category, see the table Average Consolidated Balance
Sheets and Net Interest Analysis on a Fully Tax Equivalent Basis under the sub heading Net
Interest Income
Other Borrowings
As of June 30, 2008, we had borrowed $320,000 under a $500,000 line of credit with a regional bank.
The note is unsecured. The note is due in October 2008 and the interest rate varies at the
lenders base commercial lending rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2008 was 5.00%.
On March 19, 2008 we borrowed $20,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, of which
$10,000,000 bears interest at 2.995%, and is payable on March 19, 2012, and $10,000,000 bears
interest at 3.275%, and is payable on March 19, 2013.
20
Table of Contents
Federal funds purchased were $26,302,000 at June 30, 2008. Management believes that fed funds purchased will
decrease in the second half of 2008 based on deposit growth resulting from increases in deposit rates along with the funds generated by a potential trust preferred offering.
Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand,
deposit withdrawals, or other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an
ongoing basis.
The retention of existing deposits and attraction of new deposit sources through new and
existing customers is critical to our liquidity position. In the event of compression in liquidity
due to a run-off in deposits, we have a liquidity policy and procedure that provides for certain
actions under varying liquidity conditions. These actions include borrowing from existing
correspondent banks, selling or participating loans, and the curtailment of loan commitments and
funding. At June 30, 2008, our liquid assets, represented by cash and due from banks, federal
funds sold and available-for-sale securities, totaled $118,894,000. Additionally, our subsidiary
bank had additional borrowing availability of approximately $52 million in unused federal funds
lines of credit with regional banks, subject to certain restrictions and collateral requirements,
and had additional borrowing availability of $105 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
to meet short term funding needs. We believe these sources of funding are adequate to meet
immediate anticipated funding needs. Our management meets on a quarterly basis to review sources and uses of funding to
determine the appropriate strategy to ensure an appropriate level of liquidity. At the current
time, our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations
and commitments and deposit withdrawals.
To finance our continued growth and planned expansion activities, before our reorganization into a
holding company structure, the Bank issued 649,875 shares of common stock in September of 2007 for
approximately $13 million in capital before offering expenses. Our regular sources of funding are
from the growth of our deposit base, repayment of principal and interest on loans, the sale of
loans and the renewal of time deposits. We are also exploring the possibility of issuing trust
preferred securities if market conditions become favorable to us.
We are subject to general FDIC guidelines which require a minimum level of liquidity. Management
believes our liquidity ratios meet or exceed these guidelines. Our management is not currently
aware of any trends or demands that are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material manner.
The following table reflects the contractual maturities of our term liabilities as of June 30,
2008. The amounts shown do not reflect any early withdrawal or prepayment assumptions.

Capital Adequacy
As of June 30, 2008, our most recent notification from the FDIC categorized us as
well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain
categorized as well-capitalized, we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and
Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. Our management believes that we are
well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions as of June 30, 2008. Furthermore,
the Alabama Banking Department has required that we maintain a leverage ratio of 8% for the first
three years of our operations until May 2, 2008 and 7% thereafter.
The following table sets forth (i) the capital ratios required by the FDIC and the Alabama
Banking Departments leverage ratio requirement to be maintained by us for the first three years of
our operations and (ii) our actual ratios of capital to total regulatory or risk-weighted assets,
as of June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
In the normal course of business we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit beyond current fundings, credit card arrangements, standby letters of credit, and
financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees,
22
Table of Contents
elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or
notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in those particular
financial instruments.
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to financial
instruments for commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings, credit card arrangements,
standby letters of credit and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual or notional
amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at June 30, 2008:

Commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Such
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. We evaluate
each customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if
deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit is based on our managements credit evaluation.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support
public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions. All letters of credit are due within one year or less of the original commitment
date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Derivatives
Prior to 2008 we entered into an interest rate floor with a notional amount of $50 million in
order to fix the minimum interest rate on a corresponding amount of our floating-rate loans. In our
managements opinion, market conditions were appropriate and the interest rate floor was sold in
January 2008 and the related gain of $817,000 has been deferred and will be amortized to income
over the remaining term of the original agreement which would have terminated on June 22, 2009. A
gain of $136,000 and $272,000 was recognized in interest income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,750,000, compared to net income of
$1,297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the six months ended June 30,
2008 was $3,320,000, compared to net income of $2,804,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increases in net income are primarily attributable to a significant increase in net interest
income due to significant growth of our deposits and loan portfolio resulting
23
Table of Contents
from significant continued core growth in Birmingham and Huntsville and our expansion into
Montgomery in 2007. These positive effects were partially offset by increases in the provision for
loan losses, to $2,137,000 from $816,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007
respectively, and to $3,519,000 from $1,460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and increases in non-interest expense, to $4,530,000 from $3,403,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and to $9,360,000 from $6,307,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was
the result of funding the loan loss reserve to match the growth in the loan portfolio and loan
charge-offs. The increase in non-interest expense was due to an increase in personnel and general
operating expenses due to our growth. Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.34 and
$0.33, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.29 per common share
for both basic and diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Basic and diluted net income
per common share were $0.65 and $0.63, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
compared to $0.63 and $0.62 per common share for basic and diluted for the six months ended June
30, 2007. Return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.74%, compared to
0.80% in 2007, and return on average stockholders equity was 9.31% for the three months ended June
30, 2008, compared to 9.51% in 2007.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities used to support such assets. The major factors which
affect net interest income are changes in volumes, the yield on interest earning assets and the
cost of interest bearing liabilities. Our managements ability to respond to changes in interest
rates by effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability
of the net interest margin and the momentum of our primary source of earnings.
Beginning in mid-2004, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, or FOMC, increased interest rates
400 basis points through mid-2006 where interest rates remained constant until September 2007 when
the FOMC began lowering interest rates in reaction to the affects of the sub-prime credit crisis.
Since September 2007, the FOMC has lowered interest rates 275 basis points including an emergency
75 basis point decrease in January 2008, 75 basis points at its March 18, 2008 meeting, and 25
basis points at its April 30, 2008 meeting. In anticipation of these decreases in interest rates,
our management has placed us in a moderately liability sensitive position. This means that more
liabilities are scheduled to reprice within the next year than assets, thereby taking advantage of
the anticipated decrease in interest rates.
Net interest income increased $2,697,000, or 44.97%, to $8,694,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2008 from $5,997,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This was due to an increase in
total interest income of $1,211,000, or 9.98%, plus a decrease in total interest expense of
$1,486,000 or 24.23%. Net interest income increased $5,185,000, or 44.71%, to $16,781,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 from $11,596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This was
due to an increase in total interest income of $4,221,000, or 18.39%, plus a decrease in total
interest expense of $964,000, or 8.49%. The increase in total interest income was primarily
attributable to loan growth as a consequence of significant continued core growth in Birmingham and
Huntsville and our expansion into Montgomery in 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision expense for loan losses represents the amount determined by management to be
necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level capable of absorbing inherent losses
in the loan portfolio. Our management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a
quarterly basis. The allowance for loan losses calculation is segregated into various segments
that include classified loans, loans with specific allocations and pass rated loans. A pass rated
loan is generally characterized by a very low to average risk of default and in which management
perceives there is a minimal risk of loss. Loans are rated using a nine-point risk grade scale
with loan officers having the primary responsibility for assigning risk grades and for the timely
reporting of changes in the risk grades. These processes, and the assigned risk grades, and the
criticized and classified loans in the portfolio are segregated into the following regulatory
classifications: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. Impaired loans are reviewed
specifically and separately under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Statement
No. 114 to determine the appropriate reserve allocation. Our management compares the investment in
an impaired loan with the present value of expected future cash flow discounted at the loans
effective interest rate, the loans observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if
the loan is collateral-dependent, to determine the specific reserve allowance. Reserve percentages
assigned to non-rated loans are based on historical charge-off experience adjusted for other risk
factors. To evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in our loan
portfolio, our management considers historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans,
trends in classifications, volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, economic conditions
and other pertinent information. Based on future evaluations, additional provisions for loan
losses may be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.
The provision for loan losses was $3,519,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of
$2,059,000 in comparison to $1,460,000 in 2007. Our management continues to maintain a proactive
approach to credit risk management as the economy experiences cycles and as we continue to grow.
Nonperforming loans increased to $4,993,000, or 0.60%, of total loans at June 30, 2008 from
$4,471,000 or 0.66%, of total loans at December 31, 2007, and impaired loans decreased to
$10,125,000 or 1.21%, of total loans at June 30, 2008 compared to $11,612,000, or 1.72% of total
loans at December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses totaled $9,438,000, or 1.13%, of loans,
net of unearned income, at June 30, 2008, compared to $7,732,000, or 1.15%, of loans, net of
unearned income, at December 31, 2007.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $695,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of
$393,000, or 130.13% compared to the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30,
2008, noninterest income totaled $1,238,000, an increase of $673,000, or 119.12% compared to the
same period in 2007.
Income from mortgage banking operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $306,000, an
increase of $199,000 or 185.98% from $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Income from
mortgage banking operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $516,000, an increase of
$245,000 or 90.41% from $271,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. These increases are due
to increased origination activity in 2008. Income from customer service charges and fees for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $186,000, or 178.85% , to $290,000 from $104,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007. Income from customer service charges and fees for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 increased $329,000, or 151.61%, to $546,000 from $217,000 for the six months
ended June, 2007. The increase is primarily due to a gain of transaction accounts from 2007 to
2008. Merchant service fees were $116,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of
$87,000 or 300.00% compared to $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Merchant service
fees were $210,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 an increase of $143,000 or 213.43%
compared to $67,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $4,530,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of
$1,127,000, or 33.12% compared to the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008,
noninterest expense totaled $9,360,000, an increase of $3,053,000, or 48.41% compared to the same
period in 2007.
Noninterest expense increased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 over the
corresponding periods in 2007 primarily due to our continued growth and expansion which has
resulted in the addition of personnel and the opening of new offices in Montgomery and our

%, to $2,400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $2,116,000 in 2007. Salaries
and employee benefits increased $1,245,000, or 31.27%, to $5,227,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2008, compared to $3,982,000 in 2007. These increases are primarily the result of our increased
employee base to 131 employees at June 30, 2008 from 96 at June 30, 2007.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Like all financial institutions, we are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates.
Interest rate risk is inherent in the balance sheet due to the mismatch between the maturities
of rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. If rates are rising, and the level of
rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the level of rate sensitive assets, the net interest margin
will be negatively impacted. Conversely, if rates are falling, and the level of rate
sensitive liabilities is greater than the level of rate sensitive assets, the impact on the
net interest margin will be favorable. Managing interest rate risk is further complicated by
the fact that all rates do not change at the same pace, in other words, short term rates may
be rising while longer term rates remain stable. In addition, different types of rate
sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities react differently to changes in rates.
To manage interest rate risk, we must take a position on the expected future trend of interest
rates. Rates may rise, fall, or remain the same. Our asset liability committee develops its view
of future rate trends and strives to manage rate risk within a targeted range by monitoring
economic indicators, examining the views of economists and other experts, and understanding the
current status of our balance sheet. Our annual budget reflects the anticipated rate environment
for the next twelve months. The asset liability committee conducts a quarterly analysis of the
rate sensitivity position and reports its results to our board of directors.
The asset liability committee uses a computer model to analyze the maturities of rate sensitive
assets and liabilities. The model measures the gap which is defined as the difference between the
dollar amount of rate sensitive assets repricing during a period and the volume of rate sensitive
liabilities repricing during the same period. The gap is also expressed as the ratio of rate
sensitive assets divided by rate sensitive liabilities. If the ratio is greater than one, the
dollar value of assets exceeds the dollar value of liabilities; the balance sheet is asset
sensitive. Conversely, if the value of liabilities exceeds the value of assets, the ratio is less
than one and the balance sheet is liability sensitive. Our internal policy requires management
to maintain the gap such that net interest margins will not change more than 10% if interest rates
change 100 basis points or more than 15% if interest rates change 200 basis points. As of June 30,
2008, our gap was within such ranges.
The interest rate risk model that defines the gap position also performs a rate shock test of the
balance sheet. The rate shock procedure measures the impact on the economic value of equity (EVE)
which is a measure of long term interest rate risk. EVE is the difference between the market value
of our assets and the liabilities and is our liquidation value. In this analysis, the model
calculates the discounted cash flow or market value of each category on the balance sheet. The
percent change in EVE is a measure of the volatility of risk. Regulatory guidelines specify a
maximum change of 30% for a 200 basis points rate change. At June 30, 2008, the percent change at
plus or minus 200 basis points is well within that range at 8.97% and (0.37%), respectively.

The EVE rate shock shows that the EVE would increase in a rising rate and decline in a falling
rate environment. The EVE simulation model is a static model which provides information only at a
certain point in time. For example, in a rising rate environment, the model does not take into
account actions which management might take to change the impact of rising rates on us. Given that
limitation, it is still useful is assessing the impact of an unanticipated movement in interest
rates.
The above analysis may not on its own be an entirely accurate indicator of how net interest income
or EVE will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest earning
assets and costs associated with interest bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by
changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may
have a significant impact on net interest income. Interest rates on certain types of assets and
liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other
types may lag behind changes in general market rates. Our asset liability committee develops its
view of future rate trends by monitoring economic indicators, examining the views of economists and
other experts, and understanding the current status of our balance sheet and conducts a quarterly
analysis of the rate sensitivity position. The results of the analysis are reported to our board
of directors.
