BANK OF FLORIDA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1— Organization and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Bank of Florida Corporation (the “Company”) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bank of Florida – Southwest, Bank of Florida – Southeast, Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay (collectively, the “Banks”), and Bank of Florida Trust Company (the “Trust Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

As of March 31, 2010, each of our three subsidiary banks was “critically undercapitalized” under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) rules. In addition, the FDIC has issued to each bank a Prompt Corrective Action Directive which required each bank to return to “adequately capitalized” condition by April 17, 2010; none of the banks met this deadline. If, in the very near term, we are not successful in our current $71.8 million capital raising effort, it is likely that each of the three banks will be closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and placed into receivership with the FDIC. In such case, our only remaining operations will be those of Bank of Florida Trust Company, which can not be expected to provide significant revenues or profits.

The Banks provide a broad range of commercial and consumer banking services primarily within the Naples, Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Tampa Bay areas of Florida. The Banks are subject to regulation by both the Florida Department of Financial Services and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Trust Company offers investment management, trust administration, estate planning, and financial planning services. The assets under administration of Bank of Florida Trust Company, as well as the obligations associated with those assets, are not included as part of the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the stockholders’ equity for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 or any other interim period.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, Article 10 of Regulation S-X and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. Accordingly, they do not include all of the footnotes and information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Such estimates are subject to change in the future as additional information becomes available or previously existing circumstances are modified. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date upon which the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We did not identify subsequent events that were not reflected in the results herein.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same basic accounting policies and considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 or any other interim period.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

NOTE 1— Organization and Basis of Presentation (cont’d)

 

Reclassifications:

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2010 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications only changed the reporting categories but did not affect our results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN

The Company’s capital and that of its Banks has been significantly depleted. The net loss of $147.6 million recorded by the Company in 2009 and the net loss of $48.2 million recorded by the Company in the first quarter of 2010 were primarily the result of significant increases in the provision for credit losses, the recognition of goodwill impairment and the establishment of a valuation reserve against the Company’s deferred tax asset. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue meaningful operations, or resume profitable operations in the near future, or at all.

As a result of these losses, as of March 31, 2010, our total stockholders deficit decreased to ($5.8) million and our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was (0.66)%, our total risk based capital ratio was (0.86)% and our Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was (0.86)%. These losses also resulted in each of our three subsidiary Banks being “critically undercapitalized.” As a result, the FDIC has issued to each bank a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (“Directives”) which required each Bank to return to “adequately capitalized” condition by April 17, 2010; none of the Banks met this deadline. If we are not successful in completing our $71.8 million common stock offering in the very near term, it is likely that each of our three subsidiary Banks will be closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and placed into receivership with the FDIC. In such case, our only remaining operations will be those of Bank of Florida Trust Company, which can not be expected to provide significant revenues or profits.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability or classification of assets, and the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of any regulatory action, which would affect our ability to continue as a going concern . It is likely that any sale of our assets or transfer of our liabilities by the FDIC if it is named receiver will be at a discount to the values recorded on a going concern basis.

Based upon the financial condition of the Banks, each of our bank subsidiaries has received a Directive, due to its capital status. The Directives require that within 30 days of the effective date of the Directives (by April 17, 2010), the subsidiary banks must: (1) be “adequately capitalized” under regulatory capital guidelines; and/or (2) accept an offer to be acquired by a depository institution holding company or combine with another insured depository institution. Federal law also requires the FDIC to place a bank into receivership if it has remained “critically undercapitalized” for 90 days, unless the FDIC determines that other action is more appropriate. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks (even if they have complied with their Directives) in order to reduce any loss or cost to the FDIC. Therefore, if we are unable to successfully complete our $71.8 million stock offering in the very near term, it is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

NOTE 2—GOING CONCERN (cont’d)

 

The Directives also prohibit our subsidiary banks from: (1) paying rates of interest in excess of prescribed limits; (2) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (3) engaging in any new line of business; (4) making any capital distributions, dividend or subordinated debt payments to the Company or any affiliate; (5) establishing or acquiring a new branch and also require the subsidiary banks to obtain the approval of the FDIC prior to relocating, selling or disposing of any existing branch; (6) paying management fees to the Company; and (7) growth in average assets and loans, except in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Directives provide that the subsidiary banks may not pay any bonus to, or increase the compensation of, any director or officer without the prior approval of the FDIC, and that the subsidiary banks must comply with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act without the exemption for transactions with certain affiliated institutions. Lastly, the Directives prohibit the subsidiary banks from entering into any material transaction, including any investment, expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other similar transaction which would have a significant financial impact on the bank without prior approval of the FDIC.

NOTE 3—Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a stock option plan which provides for the grant of options at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a committee designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan. Each stock option granted under the Plan has a maximum term of ten years subject to earlier termination in the event the participant ceases to be an employee. The exercise price of the stock options may not be less than the book value of common stock on the date the option is granted. The committee shall determine the period during which stock options vest at the date of grant. The Plan will terminate on June 8, 2016. At March 31, 2010, there were 477,708 shares available for grant under the Plan.

The total fair value of shares vested and recognized as compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $53,000 and $68,000, respectively. There was no associated tax benefit recognized in connection with these incentive stock options. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had 88,852 nonvested options outstanding and there was approximately $460,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these nonvested options. This cost is expected to be recognized monthly on a straight-line basis, over the vesting periods, through December 31, 2013.

The Company has examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company determined the estimated life of options issued to be the midpoint of the vesting term and the contractual term ((vesting term and original contractual term)/2). Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rates are based on U. S. Treasury notes in effect at the time of the grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividends payments.

There were no stock options granted or exercised during the first quarter of 2010 and 2009. Stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 3—Stock-based Compensation (cont’d)

 

The Company granted restricted stock for 176,500 shares to Executive Officers as of March 16, 2009. Certain of the shares vest in installments and others vest in total upon satisfaction of the stipulated conditions. If the restrictions are not satisfied, the shares are forfeited and again become available for grant under the 2006 Stock Compensation Plan. All shares of restricted stock will be held by the Company until the restrictions are satisfied. The grants are divided into the following three categories: restricted shares vesting in one year (31,500 shares), performance based restricted shares vesting over three years and upon the Company’s achieving certain performance goals (63,000 shares) and restricted shares vesting over five years (82,000 shares). As of March 31, 2010, there were 115,600 nonvested and 41,900 vested shares of restricted stock and 19,000 shares of restricted stock were forfeited upon the cessation of two officers’ employment. Compensation expense totaling $39,000 and $11,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with restricted stock.

In connection with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, a total of 124,852 warrants were granted in 2009. Each warrant permits its holder to purchase 720, 742, or 772 shares of Company common stock at $3.47, $3.37, or $3.24, respectively, per share at any time during the ten year period commencing on issuance. The warrants are nontransferable. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 warrants to purchase 124,852 common shares at an average exercise price of $3.44 were outstanding.

The Company has also issued warrants to certain members of the Boards of Directors and Advisory Boards of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the formations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All of these warrants have been exercised or have expired. Compensation expense totaling $1,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

NOTE 4—Accounting Standards Updates

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09 (“ASU 2010-09”), Subsequent Events (Topic 855) - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. ASU 2010-09 provides amendments to Subtopic 855-10 as follows: 1) An entity that is an SEC filer or a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities traded in a public market is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, 2) An SEC filer is an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either the SEC or the appropriate entity under Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 3) An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, 4) The definition of public entity has been removed, and 5) The scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. All amendments in this Update are effective upon issuance of the final Update, except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors which is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-11 (“ASU 2010-11”), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. ASU 2010-11 provides amendments to Subtopic 855-15 as follows: 1) Subtopic 815-15 clarifies the scope exception for embedded credit derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The amendments address how to determine which embedded credit derivative features are considered to be embedded derivatives that should not be analyzed for potential bifurcation and separate accounting, 2) The embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is not subject to Section 815-15-25, 3) Other embedded credit derivative features are considered embedded derivatives subject to the application of Section 815-15-25 provided the overall contract is not a derivative in its entirety under Section 815-10-15, 4) The economic characteristics and risks of an embedded credit derivative feature should be considered to be not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and thus to meet the criterion in paragraph 815-15-25-1(a), and 5) An entity may elect the fair value option for any investment in a beneficial interest in a securitized financial asset in its entirety. The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

There were no sales of securities for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The composition of the investment securities portfolio reflects the Company’s investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity, and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits.

There were securities pledged with approximate market values of $29,912,000, $25,529,000, $23,313,000, $13,439,000, $9,569,000, and $541,000 as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank, Internal Repurchase Agreements, Citigroup Repo, Pacific Coast Bankers Bank, Federal Reserve, and the State of Florida, respectively, as of March 31, 2010.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Due to changes in circumstances, as further discussed in Note 2 – Going Concern , the Company recognized other than temporary impairment on held to maturity and available for sale securities. It is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC, therefore, we cannot assert the ability to hold the securities for a sufficient amount of time to allow recovery. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1.1 million.

NOTE 5 — Securities (cont’d)

 

At March 31, 2010, there were twenty six out of forty one securities at a loss position. The losses on investment securities available for sale were caused by interest rate changes. Although the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because it is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC, we do not have the ability to hold the securities for a sufficient amount of time to allow recovery. Thus, the securities are considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Specific impairment on loans in this category is calculated based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or for collateral-dependent loans, at the fair value of the collateral.

NOTE 6 — Loans (cont’d)

 

There were no outstanding commitments to extend credit related to those loans in nonaccrual status or 90 days or more past due. In certain isolated cases, the Company has executed forbearance agreements whereby the Company will continue to fund construction loans to completion as long as the borrower meets the conditions of the forbearance agreement.

Of the $80.3 million total undisbursed lines of credit, there was approximately $8,600, or less than 1%, related to nonaccrual loans. Of the $171.0 million in nonperforming loans, $68.2 million was charged down to net realizable value of the collateral.

At March 31, 2010 the primary source of repayment with respect to $223.0 million of the impaired loans is sale of the related collateral. Approximately $116 million of the impaired loans were written down to collateral value during the first quarter of 2010.

The Company had $91.3 million and $27.3 million in loans that would be defined as troubled debt restructuring at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Of those amounts, $52.0 million and $9.4 million were accruing as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, as they were performing in accordance with their restructured terms. The majority of the restructurings involve extending the interest only period, reducing the interest rate to give the borrower relief, or other modifications of terms that deviate from the original contract. There were no unfunded lines of credit related to any troubled debt restructured loan at March 31, 2010.

Subsequent to March 31, 2010, we adjusted our provision due to further evaluation of our collateral values which we deemed material.

NOTE 7 — Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share represents net loss divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Due to the Company’s reported loss, common stock equivalents are deemed to be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation.

Components used in computing loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, are summarized as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value estimates are presented for financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of the Banks’ long-term relationships with depositors and the benefit that results from low cost funding provided by deposit liabilities. In addition, significant assets which are not considered financial instruments and are, therefore, not a part of the fair value estimates include office properties and equipment.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and cash equivalents : For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities : Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis while securities classified as held to maturity are recorded at fair value on a non recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar investment securities. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment securities not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

Loans : Loans with no significant change in credit risk and with rates that are repriced in coordination with movements in market rates were valued at carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting scheduled cash flows to maturity using current market rates at which loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Appropriate adjustments were made to reflect probable credit losses. Impaired loans are valued at the net realizable value of the collateral or the present value of the cash flows.

Restricted securities : The carrying value of restricted securities, including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, approximates fair value since there is no active market for such investments.

Cash surrender value of life insurance : The carrying value is based upon the initial cash premium to the insurance company plus the income earned on the policy over time.

Interest-rate swap: The interest-rate swap is recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The Company utilizes third-party vendors for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves. The discounted net present value calculated represents the cost to terminate the swap if the Company should choose to do so on the applicable measurement date (Level 2). Additionally, any credit valuation adjustment is recorded as an adjustment to the fair value of the derivative asset or liability on the applicable measurement date (Level 3).

Deposits : The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the benefits that result from low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of alternate sources of funds.

Subordinated debt : The fair value of this variable rate debt was previously estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities. However, due to current market conditions, the fair value is calculated using a premium over LIBOR.

NOTE 8 — Fair Value Measurements (cont’d)

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings : The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings are estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Accrued interest : The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate their fair values.

Off-balance-sheet instruments : The fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these financial instruments is not significant.

NOTE 8 — Fair Value Measurements (cont’d)

Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are based on the loan’s observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral . Since the market for impaired loans is not active, loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments based on the loan’s observable market price are generally classified as Level 2. Loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments based on the current appraised value of the collateral may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the type of asset and the inputs to the valuation. When appraisals are used to determine impairment and these appraisals are based on a market approach incorporating a dollar-per-square-foot multiple, the related loans are classified as Level 2. If the appraisals require significant adjustments to market-based valuation inputs or apply an income approach based on unobservable cash flows to measure fair value, the related loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments are typically classified as Level 3 due to the fact that Level 3 inputs are significant to the fair value measurement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized losses related to certain assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (i.e. impaired loans, other real estate owned, and held to maturity securities). For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held on the balance sheet at the end of the period, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

NOTE 9 —   Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may utilize certain derivative financial instruments. Stand alone derivative financial instruments, such as interest-rate swaps, are used to economically hedge interest-rate risk related to the Company’s liabilities. These derivative instruments involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as derivative assets, derivative liabilities or trading activities for stand alone derivative financial instruments.

The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to those agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail to satisfy their obligations.

Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated over the counter contracts (‘OTC’) or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

As of September 30, 2009, the interest rate swap was terminated because the forecasted transaction was no longer probable. The resulting gain is recognized over the remaining life of the interest rate swap. Hedge ineffectiveness is generally measured as the amount by which the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging instrument exceeds the present value of the cumulative change in the hedged item’s expected cash flows. Ineffectiveness is reported within other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operation. As of March 31, 2010, the cash flow hedge became entirely ineffective. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges was approximately $2.9 million. The derivative transaction was deemed to be ineffective because it is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC. The effective portion of the gains or losses on cash flow hedges are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income and are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current period earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The Company originally entered into interest rate swaps which provided for the Company to receive payments at a fixed rate in exchange for paying a floating rate on certain loans. Management believes that entering into the interest rate swaps helps manage the Company’s exposure variabilities in cash flows due to changes in the level of interest rates. It is the Company’s objective to hedge the change in cash flows, and maintain coverage levels that are appropriate, given anticipated or existing interest rate levels and other market considerations, as well as the relationship of change in this asset to other assets of the Company. To meet this objective, the Company utilized interest rate swaps as an asset/liability management strategy. These interest rate swap agreements are contracts to make a series of floating rate payments in exchange for receiving a series of fixed rate payments. The information pertaining to interest rate swap agreements used to hedge floating rate loans is as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 10 —   Other Borrowings

Pursuant to the Repos, each subsidiary bank sold Citi $10.0 million of securities, subject to their obligation to repurchase such securities at a specific price in 2013. The Repos provide that if either of our subsidiary Banks fails to remain “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes, an event of default will be deemed to have occurred under each of the Repos. We notified Citi that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under each of the Repos, and Citi has reserved all its rights upon an event of default under each Repo.

If Citi exercises its remedies under the Repos, then: (i) our subsidiary Banks would be obligated to immediately repurchase all securities sold to Citi under the Repos; (ii) all income paid after the declaration on the securities sold would be retained by Citi and applied to the aggregate unpaid repurchase prices and any other amounts owing by our subsidiary banks; and (iii) our subsidiary banks would have to immediately deliver to Citi any purchased securities subject to the Repos then in their possession or control. We have been informed that Citi would also charge our subsidiary banks an approximately $1.5 million of total penalty for early termination of these Repos. If Citi exercises its right to declare an event of default and exercises its remedies under the Repos, then our financial position, liquidity and earnings may be materially and adversely affected. Citi has not exercised their right to declare an event of default nor has made any indication to do so.

During June 2009, the Company established the Corporate Sweep Program. Funds from customers, who participate in the sweep program and whose balances exceed a target balance, will be placed in a repurchase agreement with the Company. Repurchase agreements are collateralized borrowings and are, therefore, not FDIC insured. The Company pledges securities as collateral to secure its obligation to pay the amount due under the repurchase agreement. The client repurchase obligations mature daily and the associated interest rate fluctuates accordingly. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $12.9 million in funding through client repurchase agreements.

The following table provides the amount, interest rate and repurchase or maturity date of outstanding other borrowings at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively (in thousands):

NOTE 11 —   Regulatory Matters

General

We are currently subject to a number of regulatory enforcement actions and may become subject to additional actions. Our failure to comply with our current enforcement actions, or any future ones, may result in the closure of our subsidiary banks and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks (even if they are in compliance with their enforcement actions) in order to reduce any cost or loss to the FDIC. As of March 31, 2010, stockholders equity/(deficit) of Bank of Florida – Southwest, Bank of Florida – Southeast and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay were ($15.8) million, $7.1 million and ($2.2) million, respectively.

Prompt Corrective Action Directives

Each of our bank subsidiaries has received a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directives”) from the FDIC, due to their capital status. The Directives require that within 30 days of the effective date of the Directives (by April 17, 2010), the subsidiary banks must: (1) be “adequately capitalized” under regulatory capital guidelines; and/or (2) accept an offer to be acquired by a depository institution holding company or combine with another insured depository institution. Federal law also requires the FDIC to place a bank into receivership if it has remained “critically undercapitalized” for 90 days, unless the FDIC determines that other action is more appropriate. If a bank remains “critically undercapitalized” on average during the quarter beginning 270 days after the bank first became “critically undercapitalized,” the FDIC must place the bank into receivership. Bank of Florida – Southwest became “critically undercapitalized” on December 31, 2009 and Bank of Florida – Southeast and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay became “critically undercapitalized” on March 31, 2010. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks (even if they have complied with their Directives) in order to reduce any loss or cost to the FDIC. Therefore, if we are unable to successfully complete our $71.8 million stock offering in the very near term, it is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

The Directives also prohibit our subsidiary banks from: (1) paying rates of interest in excess of prescribed limits; (2) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (3) engaging in any new line of business; (4) making any capital distributions, dividend or subordinated debt payments to the Company or any affiliate; (5) establishing or acquiring a new branch and also require the subsidiary banks to obtain the approval of the FDIC prior to relocating, selling or disposing of any existing branch; (6) paying management fees to the Company; and (7) growth in average assets and loans, except in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Directives provide that the subsidiary banks may not pay any bonus to, or increase the compensation of, any director or officer without the prior approval of the FDIC, and that the subsidiary banks must comply with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act without the exemption for transactions with certain affiliated institutions. Lastly, the Directives prohibit the subsidiary banks from entering into any material transaction, including any investment, expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other similar transaction which would have a significant financial impact on the bank without prior approval of the FDIC. The subsidiary banks were already substantially subject to each of these prohibitions immediately prior to the issuance of the Directives.

Each Directive will remain in effect until the respective subsidiary bank maintains “adequately capitalized” status for four consecutive quarters. Therefore, if a bank subsidiary falls below “adequately capitalized” during the four quarters following the issuance of the Directives, we will be required to quickly increase its capital. If our subsidiary banks fail to meet or satisfy the requirements of the Directives, it is likely that the FDIC will take further regulatory enforcement actions against our subsidiary banks, including the imposition of the consent orders or the closure of the subsidiary banks and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC.

Subsidiary Bank Corrective Resolutions

The board of directors of each of our subsidiary banks has adopted corrective resolutions (“Corrective Resolutions”) at the request of the OFR. The Corrective Resolutions are specific to each of our subsidiary banks, but contain similar provisions and requirements, the material provisions and requirements of which are summarized below.

NOTE 11 — Regulatory Matters (cont’d)

 

   

Ensure that each subsidiary bank remains “well capitalized” at all times. Prepare and submit a capital plan to the OFR and the FDIC to achieve, by December 31, 2009, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 11% and to achieve by June 30, 2010, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%.

 

   

Prepare and submit a written risk reduction plan to reduce, in the aggregate, the balance of specific assets classified by the OFR as “Substandard,” “Doubtful” or “Loss” according to a specific schedule for each subsidiary bank.

 

   

Direct management to systematically reduce the subsidiary bank’s concentration in high-risk commercial real estate loans, which include land, non-owner occupied commercial construction, and residential construction loans.

 

   

Amend the subsidiary bank’s liquidity policy to address and take into consideration the bank’s liquidity objectives and current risk profile, including a reduction in the net non-core funding dependence ratio to a specified percentage by December 31, 2010, with ongoing efforts to further reduce its dependence, and review the liquidity policy annually for adequacy and make appropriate revisions to the liquidity policy when necessary.

 

   

Submit to the OFR and the FDIC a strategic business plan and a comprehensive annual budget and earnings forecast for the remainder of 2009 and for 2010 and direct management to prepare a report detailing the subsidiary bank’s actual performance compared with the strategic plan and budget at each regular meeting of the subsidiary bank’s board of directors.

 

   

Amend the subsidiary bank’s written policies and procedures to address examination report comments and recommendations regarding the use of interest reserves.

 

   

Establish a sound ALLL methodology, submit the revised ALLL methodology to the OFR and the FDIC for review and comment and review the adequacy of the ALLL prior to the end of each calendar quarter.

 

   

Improve commercial real estate lending underwriting and portfolio management.

 

   

Notify the OFR and the FDIC in writing when the subsidiary bank proposes to add any individual to its board of directors or employ any individual as an executive officer.

 

   

Furnish quarterly progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR along with a report detailing the subsidiary bank’s actual performance compared with the strategic plan and budget presented at each regular board meeting.

 

   

Refrain from extending any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the subsidiary bank that has been charged off or classified.

We consider the capital and asset quality provisions of the Corrective Resolutions to be the most significant and imperative. As of March 31, 2010, none of our subsidiary banks were in compliance with either requirement. Our subsidiary banks were not considered “well capitalized” as of March 31, 2010, and certain balances of classified assets and commercial real estate loans remain above the levels contemplated by the Corrective Resolutions. As of March 31, 2010, Bank of Florida—Southwest had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of (2.36%), total risk based capital ratio of (2.98%) and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of (2.98%), Bank of Florida—Southeast had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 1.19%, total risk based capital ratio of 3.33% and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 1.67%, and Bank of Florida—Tampa Bay had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of (0.85)%, total risk based capital ratio of (1.12)% and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of (1.12)%. Bank of Florida—Southwest and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay had also not sufficiently reduced the net non-core funding dependence ratio to the required 40%, and had only reached 44.95% and 48.51%, respectively, at March 31, 2010.

Potential Consent Orders

Based on the subsidiary banks’ financial condition, we understand that the FDIC plans to pursue and implement formal enforcement actions with respect to our subsidiary banks in the form of consent orders (“FDIC Orders”). We expect the FDIC to pursue these even if we do comply with the requirements of the Directives.

We currently expect the FDIC Orders will focus on the areas addressed by our existing Corrective Resolutions and the Directives: to raise and maintain certain capital ratios, to improve asset quality, to reduce non-core funding dependence, and to reduce our commercial real estate loan concentrations, although the scope and terms of any FDIC Orders or any other action that the FDIC may take is unknown.

Holding Company Board Resolutions

The Company is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). On June 12, 2009, we received a letter from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) requiring us to provide advance notice to the Reserve Bank before appointing any new directors or senior executive officers, which the Federal Reserve may approve or disapprove, or entering into any agreement to provide indemnification or severance payments. The letter also requested our board of directors to adopt certain resolutions (the “Board Resolutions”). Our board of directors adopted the Board Resolutions on October 19, 2009.

The Board Resolutions provide that the Company may not, without prior Federal Reserve approval, incur debt, including trust preferred securities; declare or pay dividends including the payment of dividends on our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock; reduce the Company’s capital position by purchasing or redeeming any shares of our capital stock except for any redemption of shares of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock following an equity offering of not less than $30 million; or make any payment representing a reduction of capital other than the payment of normal and routine operating expenses. The Board Resolutions also require our board of directors to submit financial statements and confirmation of compliance with the Board Resolutions.

OVERVIEW

Bank of Florida Corporation, incorporated in Florida in September 1998, is a $1.5 billion financial services company and a registered bank holding company. We are currently undertaking a $71.8 million common stock offering. As of March 31, 2010, each of our three subsidiary banks was “critically undercapitalized” under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) rules. In addition, the FDIC has issued to each bank a Prompt Corrective Action Directive which required each bank to return to “adequately capitalized” condition by April 17, 2010; none of the banks met this deadline. If, in the very near term, we are not successful in our current capital raising efforts, it is likely that each of the three banks will be closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and placed into receivership with the FDIC. In such case, our only remaining operations will be those of Bank of Florida Trust Company, which can not be expected to provide significant revenues or profits. Our subsidiary banks are separately chartered independent community banks with local boards that provide full-service commercial banking in a private banking environment. Our trust company offers investment management, trust administration, estate planning, and financial planning services largely to the Banks’ commercial borrowers and other high net worth individuals. The Company’s overall focus is to develop a total financial services relationship with its client base, which is primarily businesses, professionals, and entrepreneurs with commercial real estate borrowing needs. The Banks also provide technology-based cash management and other depository services. The holding company structure provides flexibility for expansion of the Company’s banking business, including possible acquisitions of other financial institutions, and support of banking-related services to its subsidiary banks. Our ability to execute the growth oriented aspects of our strategy is currently severely limited by our, and our subsidiary banks’ financial condition, capital levels and the regulatory enforcement actions to which we, and our subsidiary banks, are currently subject.

The primary market areas of the Company continue to show growth in population, but at a nominal pace in comparison to the past ten years. Those markets include Collier and Lee Counties on the southwest coast of Florida (served by Bank of Florida—Southwest), Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties on the southeast coast (served by Bank of Florida—Southeast), and Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties in the Tampa Bay area (served by

 

27


Table of Contents

Bank of Florida—Tampa Bay). The continued population growth and income demographics of the counties in which the Company operates support its plans to grow loans, deposits, and wealth management revenues with limited, highly selective, full-service locations. These counties together constitute nearly 50% of the deposit market share in the state of Florida.

REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT MATTERS

General

We are currently subject to a number of regulatory enforcement actions and may become subject to additional actions. Our failure to comply with our current enforcement actions, or any future ones, may result in the closure of our subsidiary banks and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks (even if they are in compliance with their enforcement actions) in order to reduce any cost or loss to the FDIC. As of March 31, 2010, stockholders equity/(deficit) of Bank of Florida – Southwest, Bank of Florida – Southeast and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay were ($15.8) million, $7.1 million and ($2.2) million, respectively.

Prompt Corrective Action Directives

Each of our bank subsidiaries has received a Prompt Corrective Action Directive (the “Directives”) from the FDIC, due to their capital status. The Directives require that within 30 days of the effective date of the Directives (by April 17, 2010), the subsidiary banks must: (1) be “adequately capitalized” under regulatory capital guidelines; and/or (2) accept an offer to be acquired by a depository institution holding company or combine with another insured depository institution. Federal law also requires the FDIC to place a bank into receivership if it has remained “critically undercapitalized” for 90 days, unless the FDIC determines that other action is more appropriate. If a bank remains “critically undercapitalized” on average during the quarter beginning 270 days after the bank first became “critically undercapitalized,” the FDIC must place the bank into receivership. Bank of Florida – Southwest became “critically undercapitalized” on December 31, 2009 and Bank of Florida – Southeast and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay became “critically undercapitalized” on March 31, 2010. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks (even if they have complied with their Directives) in order to reduce any loss or cost to the FDIC. Therefore, if we are unable to successfully complete our $71.8 million stock offering in the very near term, it is highly likely that all three banks will be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

The Directives also prohibit our subsidiary banks from: (1) paying rates of interest in excess of prescribed limits; (2) accepting, renewing or rolling over any brokered deposits; (3) engaging in any new line of business; (4) making any capital distributions, dividend or subordinated debt payments to the Company or any affiliate; (5) establishing or acquiring a new branch and also require the subsidiary banks to obtain the approval of the FDIC prior to relocating, selling or disposing of any existing branch; (6) paying management fees to the Company; and (7) growth in average assets and loans, except in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the Directives provide that the subsidiary banks may not pay any bonus to, or increase the compensation of, any director or officer without the prior approval of the FDIC, and that the subsidiary banks must comply with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act without the exemption for transactions with certain affiliated institutions. Lastly, the Directives prohibit the subsidiary banks from entering into any material transaction, including any investment, expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other similar transaction which would have a significant financial impact on the bank without prior approval of the FDIC. The subsidiary banks were already substantially subject to each of these prohibitions immediately prior to the issuance of the Directives.

Each Directive will remain in effect until the respective subsidiary bank maintains “adequately capitalized” status for four consecutive quarters. Therefore, if a bank subsidiary falls below “adequately capitalized” during the four quarters following the issuance of the Directives, we will be required to quickly increase its capital. If our subsidiary banks fail to meet or satisfy the requirements of the Directives, it is likely that the FDIC will take further regulatory enforcement actions against our subsidiary banks, including the imposition of the consent orders or the closure of the subsidiary banks and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC.

Subsidiary Bank Corrective Resolutions

The board of directors of each of our subsidiary banks has adopted corrective resolutions (“Corrective Resolutions”) at the request of the OFR. The Corrective Resolutions are specific to each of our subsidiary banks, but contain similar provisions and requirements, the material provisions and requirements of which are summarized below.

 

   

Ensure that each subsidiary bank remains “well capitalized” at all times. Prepare and submit a capital plan to the OFR and the FDIC to achieve, by December 31, 2009, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 11% and to achieve by June 30, 2010, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%.

 

   

Prepare and submit a written risk reduction plan to reduce, in the aggregate, the balance of specific assets classified by the OFR as “Substandard,” “Doubtful” or “Loss” according to a specific schedule for each subsidiary bank.

 

   

Direct management to systematically reduce the subsidiary bank’s concentration in high-risk commercial real estate loans, which include land, non-owner occupied commercial construction, and residential construction loans.

 

   

Amend the subsidiary bank’s liquidity policy to address and take into consideration the bank’s liquidity objectives and current risk profile, including a reduction in the net non-core funding dependence ratio to a specified percentage by December 31, 2010, with ongoing efforts to further reduce its dependence, and review the liquidity policy annually for adequacy and make appropriate revisions to the liquidity policy when necessary.

 

   

Submit to the OFR and the FDIC a strategic business plan and a comprehensive annual budget and earnings forecast for the remainder of 2009 and for 2010 and direct management to prepare a report detailing the subsidiary bank’s actual performance compared with the strategic plan and budget at each regular meeting of the subsidiary bank’s board of directors.

 

   

Amend the subsidiary bank’s written policies and procedures to address examination report comments and recommendations regarding the use of interest reserves.

 

   

Establish a sound ALLL methodology, submit the revised ALLL methodology to the OFR and the FDIC for review and comment and review the adequacy of the ALLL prior to the end of each calendar quarter.

 

   

Improve commercial real estate lending underwriting and portfolio management.

 

   

Notify the OFR and the FDIC in writing when the subsidiary bank proposes to add any individual to its board of directors or employ any individual as an executive officer.

 

   

Furnish quarterly progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR along with a report detailing the subsidiary bank’s actual performance compared with the strategic plan and budget presented at each regular board meeting.

 

   

Refrain from extending any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from the subsidiary bank that has been charged off or classified.

We consider the capital and asset quality provisions of the Corrective Resolutions to be the most significant and imperative. As of March 31, 2010, none of our subsidiary banks were in compliance with either requirement. Our subsidiary banks were not considered “well capitalized” as of March 31, 2010, and certain balances of classified assets and commercial real estate loans remain above the levels contemplated by the Corrective Resolutions. As of March 31, 2010, Bank of Florida—Southwest had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of (2.36%), total risk based capital ratio of (2.98%) and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of (2.98%), Bank of Florida—Southeast had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 1.19%, total risk based capital ratio of 3.33% and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 1.67%, and Bank of Florida—Tampa Bay had a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of (0.85)%, total risk based capital ratio of (1.12)% and Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of (1.12)%. Bank of Florida—Southwest and Bank of Florida – Tampa Bay had also not sufficiently reduced the net non-core funding dependence ratio to the required 40%, and had only reached 44.95% and 48.51%, respectively, at March 31, 2010.

Potential Consent Orders

Based on the subsidiary banks’ financial condition, we understand that the FDIC plans to pursue and implement formal enforcement actions with respect to our subsidiary banks in the form of consent orders (“FDIC Orders”). We expect the FDIC to pursue these even if we do comply with the requirements of the Directives.

We currently expect the FDIC Orders will focus on the areas addressed by our existing Corrective Resolutions and the Directives: to raise and maintain certain capital ratios, to improve asset quality, to reduce non-core funding dependence, and to reduce our commercial real estate loan concentrations, although the scope and terms of any FDIC Orders or any other action that the FDIC may take is unknown.

Holding Company Board Resolutions

The Company is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). On June 12, 2009, we received a letter from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) requiring us to provide advance notice to the Reserve Bank before appointing any new directors or senior executive officers, which the Federal Reserve may approve or disapprove, or entering into any agreement to provide indemnification or severance payments. The letter also requested our board of directors to adopt certain resolutions (the “Board Resolutions”). Our board of directors adopted the Board Resolutions on October 19, 2009.

 

29


Table of Contents

The Board Resolutions provide that the Company may not, without prior Federal Reserve approval, incur debt, including trust preferred securities; declare or pay dividends including the payment of dividends on our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock; reduce the Company’s capital position by purchasing or redeeming any shares of our capital stock except for any redemption of shares of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock following an equity offering of not less than $30 million; or make any payment representing a reduction of capital other than the payment of normal and routine operating expenses. The Board Resolutions also require our board of directors to submit financial statements and confirmation of compliance with the Board Resolutions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Critical accounting policies are those that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, and have the greatest potential impact on the Company’s stated results of operations. The notes to the consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Management believes that, of our significant accounting policies, the following involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Our management has discussed these critical accounting assumptions and estimates with the Board of Directors’ Audit Committee.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of a loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is comprised of: (1) a component for individual loan impairment, and (2) a measure of collective loan impairment. The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels deemed adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. This estimate is based upon management’s evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. Estimates for loan losses are derived by analyzing historical loss experience, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, historical bank experience, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Larger impaired credits that are measured for impairment have been defined to include loans classified as substandard and on nonaccrual or doubtful risk grades where the borrower relationship is greater than $500,000. For such loans that are considered impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.

Loans that are not measured individually for impairment are measured collectively and include commercial real estate loans that are performing and large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans evaluated based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Company realized a first quarter net loss of $48.2 million, or ($3.76) per diluted share, versus ($0.34) per diluted share during the same period in 2009. The net loss was primarily due to a $36.4 million increase in provision for loan losses in addition to a $1.6 million or 16.3% decrease in net interest income mostly attributable to the decline in interest rates. As a result of these losses, as of March 31, 2010, our total stockholders equity/(deficit) decreased to $(5.8) million and our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was (0.66)%, our total risk based capital ratio was (0.86)% and our Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was (0.86)%. These losses also resulted in each of our three

subsidiary banks being “critically undercapitalized.” As a result, the FDIC has issued to each bank a Prompt Corrective Action Directive which required each bank to return to “adequately capitalized” condition by April 17, 2010; none of the banks met this deadline. If we are not successful in completing our $71.8 million common stock offering in the very near term, it is likely that each of our three subsidiary banks will be closed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) and placed into receivership with the FDIC. In such case, our only remaining operations will be those of Bank of Florida Trust Company, which can not be expected to provide significant revenues or profits.

Total assets grew to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2010, up $73.7 million or 5.3% from December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily the result of cash and due from banks and securities purchases partially offset by a decline in loan balances. Loans declined $66.0 million or 5.4% during the first three months of this year and investments securities increased $29.7 million or 30.1%, and cash and due from banks increased $112.2 million or 163.4%. Total deposits increased $122.7 million, or 10.3% since yearend, to $1.3 billion. Total core deposits, which exclude wholesale brokered CDs, wholesale CDAR deposits, and CDs with balances in excess of $100 thousand, decreased $14.7 million or 1.9% during the first three months of this year. Book value per share declined to $(0.75), down $3.82 over the last three months.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Asset quality

The Banks’ loan portfolios are subject to periodic reviews by our internal loan review department, our external loan review consultant and state and federal bank regulators. The Company’s nonperforming loans (nonaccrual and 90+ days past due) totaled $171.0 million at March 31, 2010, 14.91% of total loans outstanding, compared to $164.5 million at the end of 2009. Thirty-to-ninety day delinquent loans were $67.2 million or 5.86% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2010, an increase of $3.4 million in total loan delinquencies from December 31, 2009. There were $39.0 million in net charge-offs for the first three months of 2010, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 15.18%, an increase of 11.26% from the first three months of 2009. The increased level of nonperforming assets in 2010 is a result of a slowing economy and real estate market which is discussed further in Note 6 – Loans .

Real estate values in our markets deteriorated at an accelerated pace over recent quarters, resulting in increased credit losses. Our non-performing assets have increased since the beginning of the economic downturn in 2007 as management continues to recognize impaired loans based on our ongoing process of identifying early signs of stress in our loan portfolio. Additionally, we continue to track loans from pre-watch identification through disposition, using our history of trend analysis by loan type, industry, market and vintage. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, we adjusted our provision due to further evaluation of our collateral values which we deemed material.

Our Special Assets Division continues to monitor and manage our most problematic loans and other real estate owned. This division has grown to include five professionals with experience in managing non-performing loans. This division reports to our Senior Executive Vice President who has experience in managing special assets divisions, as well as reporting to the Special Assets Committee, a subcommittee of our Board of Directors, which meets monthly and oversees the management, marketing, and overall dissolution of these assets.

We had $91.3 million in loans that were defined as troubled debt restructuring as of March 31, 2010. Of those amounts, $52.0 million were accruing as they were performing in accordance with their restructured terms. The majority of the restructurings involve extending the interest-only period, reducing the interest rate to give the borrower relief, or other modifications of terms that deviate from the original contract.

Loans

Total gross loans outstanding (excluding deferred fees and including loans held for sale), totaled $1.1 billion at March 31, down $66.1 million or 5.4% for the first three months of 2010. Construction loans, largely secured by commercial real estate, totaled $185.1 million (16.1% of total loans) at March 31, 2010, down $31.5 million since the end of last year. Commercial real estate loans, including multi-family dwellings but excluding those in construction, decreased by $15.7 million to $645.5 million and total 56.2% of total loans outstanding, while commercial and industrial loans declined $10.5 million to $101.9 million or approximately 8.9% of total loans outstanding. One-to-four family residential loans, including loans held for sale, were $161.9 million (14.1% of total loans), down $5.1 million from year-end. Consumer lines of credit and installment and other loans decreased $3.2 million to $53.9 million (4.7% of total loans).

Investment securities and overnight investments

Securities available for sale totaled $127.8 million, an increase of $29.7 million from the level held at December 31, 2009. The Company had $536,000 classified as held to maturity at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Company does not currently engage in trading activities and, therefore, did not hold any securities classified as trading at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009. Additional details related to the securities portfolio can be found in Note 5 – Securities .

Deposits

Total deposits increased $122.7 million or 10.3% during the first quarter of 2010 to $1.3 billion. Core deposits, which exclude wholesale brokered CDs, wholesale CDAR deposits, and CDs with balances in excess of $100 thousand, decreased $14.7 million or 1.9% in the past 90 days, with the decline in money market and NOW ($112.2 million) and retail CDAR’s ($9.5 million) accounts more than offsetting the increase in CDs greater than $100 thousand ($97.1 million), non interest bearing deposits ($9.0 million) and savings ($900 thousand) accounts. Non-core deposit accounts increased $137.4 million or 34.3% in the first three months of 2010.

The annualized average rate paid on total interest bearing deposits during the first three months of 2010 was 2.27%, a decrease of 69 basis points compared to the first quarter last year. This decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rate environment under which we currently operate.

Due to the Bank’s capital positions and the Resolutions as described under “ Supervision and Regulation ” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we are presently prohibited from accepting, renewing or rolling over brokered depositis, including CDAR’s, and from paying interest rates greater than 0.75% of the prevailing local rate or the national rates published by the FDIC.

Borrowings

While client deposits remain our primary source of funding for asset growth, management uses other borrowings as a funding source for loan growth, regulatory capital needs, and as a tool to manage the Company’s interest rate risk and margin. At March 31, 2010 borrowings totaled $167.4 million, an increase of $243 thousand compared to December 31, 2009. Total borrowings at March 31, 2010 consisted of $32.9 million of repurchase agreements, $16.0 million of subordinated debt and $118.5 million of FHLB advances compared to $32.7 million of repurchase agreements, 16.0 million in subordinated debt and $118.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Advances, respectively, at the end of 2009. Repurchase agreements and FHLB advances include $37.9 million that mature daily. The maturities of all borrowings range from October 2011 through July 2017.

Stockholders’ equity

Total stockholders’ equity was $(5.8) million at March 31, 2010 a $49.6 million decrease since December 31, 2009. Book value per common share was $(0.75) at March 31, 2010 while the tangible book value per common share was $(0.75). The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased 307 basis points to (0.66)% at March 31, 2010 from 2.41% at December 31, 2009. The minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio for bank holding companies is 4.0%; however, regulators can require bank holding companies to satisfy higher capital requirements. At March 31, 2010, the Company’s three banks were critically undercapitalized. Additional details regarding stockholders equity and regulatory matters can be found in Note 2 – Going Concern and Note 11 – Regulatory Matters .

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter 2010 Compared to First Quarter 2009

Consolidated net loss for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $48.2 million, an increase of $43.8 million or 995.5% compared to first quarter 2009.

The $1.6 million decrease in net interest income and $1.5 million increase in non-interest income against a $3.6 million or 32.6% increase in noninterest expense resulted in an efficiency ratio for the quarter of 124.0%. The increase in noninterest expense primarily relates to the writeoff of the intangible assets, repossession expenses, regulatory assessments, and professional fees. The provision for loan losses increased $36.4 million compared to the same period last year due to additional provisions for loan downgrades.

Net interest income

Net interest income in the first quarter totaled $8.0 million, down $1.6 million or 16.3% less than the first quarter of 2009. The spread between the yield on earning assets and cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 14 basis points when comparing first quarter 2010 versus first quarter 2009. The yield on earning assets decreased 78 basis points over the same period last year to 4.97%, with continued pressures from the low rate environment under which we currently operate and the impact of non-earning assets. Interest bearing liabilities repriced during the quarter and resulted in a 64 basis point decrease in the cost of funds to 2.40%. Interest income was negatively impacted by approximately $785,000 in first quarter 2010 due to interest that was reversed on loans that migrated to nonaccrual status.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income was $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.5 million or 129.6% over the same quarter last year. Gains on sale of assets, which includes gains (losses) on securities, decreased $1.4 million (down 4818.0%) as a result of securities losses ($1,112,000), more losses on sale of other real estate owned ($303,000) partially offset by greater secondary market fee income ($7,000).

Trust fees declined $129,000 or 19.7% to $525 thousand over the first quarter of 2009 primarily the result of the distressed equity market conditions. Over the past twelve months, assets under administration have increased $78.9 million, or 15.1%, to $601.4 million at March 31, 2010.

Service charges and other income increased approximately $3.0 million, or 642.2%, over the same quarter last year, due to hedge ineffectiveness ($2.9 million), greater service charge income ($60,000) due to the implementation of a more efficient process for commercial account analysis, and increased other income ($97,000) due to corrections from prior year, increased foreign exchange fees and miscellaneous fee income.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense totaled $14.6 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $11.0 million for the comparable quarter last year. This increase reflected a 32.6% or $3.6 million increase compared to first quarter 2009. Increases occurred in the areas of intangible amortization ($2.4 million or 2104.1%) related to the writeoff of the unamortized intangible balances, repossession expenses ($1.1 million or 320.5% increase) related to the increase in other real estate owned properties, regulatory assessments ($570,000 or 179.8% increase) driven by the increase in FDIC assessments, professional fees ($370,000 or 76.5% increase) driven by the capital campaign, and data processing ($97,000 or 16.6% increase). These increases in expense were partially offset by decreases in salaries and benefits ($592,000 or 11.4% decrease), equipment rental, depreciation and maintenance ($86,000 or 10.2% decrease), travel ($68,000 or 31.5% decrease), and advertising ($32,000 or 14.4% decrease).

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The first quarter provision for loan losses was $43.1 million, up $36.4 million (543.3%) from first quarter 2009 as a result of loan downgrades and an increased level of net charge-offs due to the continued weakness in real estate values. At March 31, 2010, the loan loss allowance was 4.02% of total loans or 26.98% of the nonperforming loans. In comparison, the allowance for loan losses totaled $24.5 million or 1.9% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2009. There were $39.0 million in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 15.18%. The primary factor impacting the amount of these charge-offs is the continued decline in property values across our Florida markets. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, we adjusted our provision due to further evaluation of our collateral values which we deemed material.

There were $171.0 million in nonperforming loans (90+ days past due and non-accruals) at March 31, 2010 compared to $115.0 million at March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily caused by the downturn in the residential real estate market which negatively impacted the liquidity of a number of borrowers. Loans thirty to eighty-nine days delinquent increased to $67.2 million at March 31, 2010 from $36.5 million at March 31, 2009.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2010 was $1.2 million, as compared with a benefit of $2.6 million for the same period in 2009, representing effective tax rates of 2.5% and 37.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the statutory tax rate in the current year primarily due to the valuation allowance established on the deferred tax asset.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Board of Directors of each Bank is responsible for overseeing the establishment of an appropriate level of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. An evaluation of the level of allowance for loan losses is performed on a recurring basis, and at least quarterly.

Homogenous Loan Pools

The Banks established general reserve allocations as a percentage of loans for homogeneous pools of loans where each category demonstrates similar risk characteristics. The reserve metrics are monitored and adjusted for adequacy on a quarterly basis. The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2010, our reserves as a percentage of loans for each loan category:

Commercial Non Real Estate Secured

   3.95   2.10   1.35

Consumer and Other Loans

   2.85   2.60   4.80

The total loan reserve allocations resulted in reserves of $24.6 million for the Southwest market, $12.3 million for the Southeast market, and $9.2 million for the Tampa market to total approximately $46.1 million on a consolidated basis.

Management has derived loss rates to each loan category to determine the appropriate level of allocation for that loan segment based on a 2 year loan loss history. Qualitative and environmental factors are used to adjust the historical loss rates which range between 10 and 75 basis points and include the following:

 

   

Levels of and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals, and impaired loans;

 

   

Levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries;

 

   

Trends in volume and terms of loans;

 

   

Effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, and other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices;

 

   

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management, loan review, and other relevant staff;

 

   

National and local economic trends and conditions;

 

   

Industry conditions; and

 

   

Effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The factors are supported by the Banks’ history as well as economic reports and data. The trend of credit losses and delinquencies in the loan portfolio has increased dramatically since late 2008 and has begun to shift from the residential sector to commercial real estate. As criticized loans migrate to a non-performing status, the specific loan is measured individually for impairment. If the loan impairment is determined to be other than temporary, the loan is charged down to its fair market value. Management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses are supported and appropriate based on the following economic factors.

Delinquency and Non-Accrual Loans

Historically the delinquency experience and non-accrual loans have been low in comparison to our UBPR peers up until 2008 according to information available from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination

Changes in Charge-Offs and Recoveries

The historical loss experience for the Banks has been very minimal and below peers, prior to 2008. The recent economic downturn within the Banks footprint has caused each Bank to exceed their peers in 2009. Net charge-offs during the first quarter 2010 were $39.0 million, compared to $27.2 million in the fourth quarter 2009. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily related to valuation adjustments on commercial real estate projects.

As illustrated in the table above, Bank of Florida operates in many of the hardest hit counties as it relates to high unemployment rates. The high unemployment rates are due to the heavy reliance on real estate activity for employment and lack of industry as compared to Florida’s larger markets.

The general investment outlook for Florida real estate, though still mixed, remained unchanged according to the University of Florida Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies. While low prices and interest rates will continue to have a positive effect on absorption the continued negative trend in employment along with the nearing expiration of government incentives has curbed future expectations. The expectation for prices declined slightly this quarter as many continue to believe that prices will increase slower than inflation. The investment outlook for single family development also declined for the second consecutive quarter.

Industrial

The outlook for industrial occupancy is mixed this quarter with the expectations that there will be little to no change in occupancy. The outlook for investment in industrial remained slightly positive overall, however, the outlook in Warehouse declined from the previous quarter while the outlook improved in Flex space for the third consecutive quarter. Cap rates for industrial properties continued to move upward, suggesting increased investor uncertainty and expectations for future cap rates increased in both segments.

Office

The outlook for office occupancy increased in Class A for the second consecutive quarter while the outlook for Class B space declined slightly. The outlook for office rental rates is mixed with an improving trend in Class B and a negative move in Class A. In both property classes, however, it is expected for rates to lag inflation. The outlook for office investment remained mixed but improved slightly in both segments. Cap rates continued to creep upward for both segments at or above 9%. The expectation for future cap rates remained stable expecting a slight increase.

Retail

Surprisingly, according to the University of Florida Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies the expectations for occupancy increased for every sector but unanchored Strip Centers this quarter with the largest increase in Free Standing Retail, which indicates no change over the next quarter. The outlook for rental rate growth also improved in all but thet unanchored Strip Center segment, however all continue to expect stable rental rates. Actual cap rates declined slightly in Strip Survey of Emerging Market Conditions January 2010 © 2008-9 University of Florida Bergstrom Center for Real Estate Studies Centers and Free Standing Retail and increased in the remaining sectors. The investment outlook in Retail remains mixed for all segments.

Land Investment

The outlook for investment in land remains mixed and largely unchanged for every property type this quarter. Numerous factors continue to dampen expectations including the lack of financing for land as well as a large spread in bid-ask prices as owners have chosen not to discount as deeply as the market believes is necessary. Additionally, it is expected that banks will continue to take a slow approach to recognizing and acting on distressed properties.

Recent Performance

Florida’s economy has yet to transition from recession to recovery. Signs of improvement have been uneven, but there have been some positive developments. Early-stage mortgage delinquencies are moderating, initial claims for unemployment insurance are subsiding, and consumer confidence is improving. Also, federal incentives have successfully invigorated home sales and industrial production. A number of hurdles remain, as foreclosure sales continue to increase and the unemployment rate is a percentage point above the national average. The unemployment rate may be painting an optimistic picture, as the labor force has been declining since late 2008.

The pace and extent of job losses have moderated significantly since the beginning of the year. Nonetheless, businesses still lack the confidence to hire. The jobless rate will rise until initial claims moderate to a level consistent with labor market stability. A pace of 15,000 initial claims per week would be consistent with labor market stability, while 10,000 per week would be consistent with sturdy employment growth.

Exports

Florida’s exports are struggling even as the Latin American economy is attempting recovery. Exports decreased to a five-year low in the third quarter of 2009. The decline in exports can be attributed to the state’s manufacturing specialization in pro-cyclical durable goods, including concrete and cement. Latin American demand for Florida’s concrete and cement has slowed even as the depreciating dollar has made the state’s manufactured goods and services more competitive. It will likely take a number of years for exports to fully recover, which will be a hindrance on industrial production.

Tourism

Tourism is expected to recover over the next year as the national labor market begins to improve. Due to the weak dollar, areas with international appeal such as Orlando and Miami are fairing better than their domestically orientated counterparts, including Jacksonville and West Palm Beach. Those markets reliant on domestic tourism should improve over the next year as consumer confidence rises, the national labor market stabilizes, and wage growth returns.

Stimulus

The federal stimulus will likely deliver its maximum boost next spring, helping the state emerge from recession. Whereas the stimulus is working faster nationally, Florida is last with infrastructure projects underway. The lack of infrastructure projects is hurting construction employment, which resumed declining in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, the state’s large project pipeline should assist in job creation for 2010. One upside risk is if the state wins federal funding to create a commuter rail service from Jacksonville to Miami. Florida would also benefit if it receives federal funding to aid in the construction of a high-speed rail system linking Tampa to Orlando.

Recovery

Florida’s recovery is expected to be lackluster because of its reliance on in-migration and its fractured housing market. Immigration has an important affect on the Florida economy, as an average of 240,000 residents per year have relocated to the state since the beginning of the decade. However, net migration decreased 40% to 68,000 in 2008, the smallest in recent memory. The decline in migration is mostly attributed to the severe housing correction. Falling housing prices and wealth nationally have delayed some individuals from retiring. Also, an increasing number of residents are migrating out of the state, because of Florida’s severe recession.

The delayed stabilization in house prices will also delay Florida’s recovery by undermining consumer confidence and household wealth. Florida home prices will not stabilize until after they do nationally. The state continues to lead the nation in foreclosure sales, which are expected to remain elevated in 2010 and will put downward pressure on home prices.

Florida economy is expected to emerge from recession by the second quarter of 2010 as job losses subside and consumer confidence improves. The unemployment rate is expected to peak near 13% in 2010, compared to 10.7% nationally. Furthermore, it is expected that the state will not recover the jobs lost during the recession until late 2012 or early 2013. In the long term, Florida’s strong demographic and economic fundamentals will enable it to grow at a fast pace.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management involves monitoring sources and uses of funds in order to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily marketable, which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future.

In addition to deposits within its geographic market place, the sources of funds available to the Banks for lending and other business purposes include loan repayments, sales of loans and securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), other correspondent bank borrowings, national market funding sources, and contributions from the holding company. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced significantly by competition, general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources, such as deposits at less than projected levels, and may be used to fund the origination of mortgage loans designated to be sold in the secondary market.

The Company has approved extensions of credit available from correspondent banks amounting to $79.2 million, sources for loan sales, and primarily short-term investments that could be liquidated if necessary. In addition, the Company’s banking subsidiaries are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank, but do not currently have any further borrowing capacity at this time. At March 31, 2010, the Company had $118.5 million in outstanding borrowings from the FHLB of its present $118.5 million line, and there was $79.2 million in other available lines from correspondents.

Management regularly reviews the Banks’ liquidity position and has implemented internal policies that establish guidelines for sources of asset-based liquidity and limit the total amount of purchased funds used to support the balance sheet and funding from non-core sources.

Asset Liability and Interest Rate Risk Management

The objective of the Company’s Asset Liability and Interest Rate Risk strategies is to identify and manage the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates and to minimize the interest rate risk between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at various maturities. This is to be done in conjunction with the need to maintain adequate liquidity and the overall goal of maximizing net interest income.

The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank. The ALCO meets quarterly and has the responsibility for approving asset/liability management policies, formulating and implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings and reviewing the interest rate sensitivity of the Company. ALCO tries to minimize interest rate risk between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by attempting to minimize wide fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate movements. The ability to control these fluctuations has a direct impact on the profitability of the Company. Management monitors this activity on a regular basis through analysis of its portfolios to determine the difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities.

The Company’s rate sensitive assets are those earning interest at variable rates and those with contractual maturities within one year. Rate sensitive assets therefore include both loans and available-for-sale securities. Rate sensitive liabilities include interest-bearing checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, time deposits and borrowed funds. The Company’s balance sheet is liability sensitive; meaning that in a given period there will be more liabilities than assets subject to immediate re-pricing as interest rates change in the market. During periods of rising rates, this results in decreased net interest income. The opposite occurs during periods of declining rates.

The Company may enter into interest rate swaps which provide for the Company to receive payments at a fixed rate in exchange for paying a floating rate on certain loans. Management believes that entering into the interest rate swaps may help manage the Company’s exposure variabilities in cash flows due to changes in the level of interest rates. It is the Company’s objective to hedge the change in cash flows, and maintain coverage levels that are appropriate, given anticipated or existing interest rate levels and other market considerations, as well as the relationship of change in this asset to other assets of the Company. To meet this objective, the Company may utilize interest rate swaps as an asset/liability management strategy. These interest rate swap agreements are contracts to make a series of floating rate payments in exchange for receiving a series of fixed rate payments.

Capital

The Federal Reserve Board and other bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the risk-based standard, capital is classified into two tiers. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, minus certain intangible assets. Tier 2 capital consists of the general allowance for credit losses subject to certain limitations. An institution’s qualifying capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. Bank holding companies and banks are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total average assets as defined by a leverage ratio.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The FDIC has issued to each of our three subsidiary banks a Prompt Corrective Action Directive which required them to return to adequately capitalized status by April 17, 2010; none of the banks met this deadline.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2010, our consolidated Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was (0.66)%, our consolidated total risk based capital ratio was (0.86)% and our consolidated Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was (0.86)%. In addition, each of our subsidiary banks is considered to be “critically under capitalized” as of March 31, 2010. Continued losses will cause these capital ratios to fall further. Lower capital ratios will impair our ability to compete for loans and deposits, due to regulatory restrictions and public perception.

Our failure to meet our regulatory capital requirements in the very near term will likely result in the closure of each of our three subsidiary banks by the OFR and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company uses various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit through loans approved but not yet funded, undisbursed lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

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

Undisbursed lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party. Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments.

A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2010, follows (in thousands):

 

     Contract Amount

Standby letters of credit

   $ 3,876

Undisbursed lines of credit

     80,276

Commitments to extend credit

     1,686

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Sensitivity

Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. An integral component of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy is its ability to use derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by changes in market interest rates. Examples of derivative instruments that the Company may use as part of its interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps, interest rate floors, interest rate caps, forward contracts, principal only swaps, options and swaptions. As part of the overall risk management strategy, the Company may enter into forward contracts accounted for as free-standing derivatives to economically hedge interest rate lock commitments that are also considered freestanding derivatives. When the Company establishes derivative contracts, they are with reputable third parties in order to economically hedge significant exposures assumed in commercial customer accommodation derivative contracts. Generally, these contracts will have similar terms in order to protect the Company from market volatility. Credit risks may arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, which the Company minimizes through approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in lending and deposit-taking and borrowing activities. The measurement of market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on-and off-balance sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments as of December 31, 2009, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. We believe there have been no significant changes in our market risk exposure since December 31, 2009.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Bank of Florida Corporation maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Bank of Florida Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Report, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Bank of Florida Corporation concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, Bank of Florida Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Such internal controls over financial reporting were designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based upon our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework , our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2010. Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by Porter Keadle Moore, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Table of Contents

(c) Changes in Internal Controls

Bank of Florida Corporation has made no significant changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(d) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

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

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

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time-to-time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate aggregate liabilities arising from these proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

Investing in shares of our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risks described below. These risks are in addition to those Risk Factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Form 10-Q and the Risk Factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and the trading price of our common stock. The risks that we have highlighted here and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 are not the only ones that we face. For example, additional risks presently unknown to us or that we currently consider immaterial or unlikely could be material or could occur.

There are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern and it is possible that our subsidiary banks may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

In its report dated March 2, 2010, our independent registered public accounting firm stated that our net losses raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. In that firm’s opinion, our ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt as a result of the continued deterioration of our loan portfolio and is subject to our ability to service our existing loans in a manner that will return the Company to profitability or to identify and consummate a strategic transaction, including the potential sale of the Company. Furthermore, the Directives to require us to return our subsidiary banks to “adequately capitalized” status by April 17, 2010 or arrange for the sale of them (As of March 31, 2010, each of our bank subsidiaries was “critically undercapitalized and as of April 17, 2010, none of the banks met that deadline). If we are not able to successfully accomplish such actions, it is likely that our subsidiary banks will fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC. Additionally, federal law also requires the FDIC to place a bank into receivership if it has remained “critically undercapitalized” for 90 days, unless the FDIC determines that other action is more appropriate. If a bank remains “critically undercapitalized” on average during the quarter beginning 270 days after the bank first became “critically undercapitalized,” the FDIC must place the bank into receivership. Bank of Florida – Southwest became “critically undercapitalized” on

December 31, 2009. Therefore, the FDIC may place it into receivership at any time. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks in order to reduce any loss or cost to the FDIC.

Our board of directors is actively considering strategic alternatives, including the offering. We can give no assurance that we will identify an alternative that allows our stockholders to realize an increase in the value of the Company’s common stock. We also can give no assurance that a transaction or other strategic alternative, once identified, evaluated and consummated, will provide greater value to our stockholders than that reflected in the current stock price. In addition, a transaction, which would involve equity financing, would result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock. If we are unable to return to profitability and if we are unable to identify and execute a viable strategic alternative, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

If any one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership with the FDIC, it is highly likely that the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and take our other subsidiary banks into receivership.

Under Federal law, each of our subsidiary banks provides a “cross guarantee” to the FDIC for the other subsidiary banks. This means, that if the failure or closure of one subsidiary bank causes a loss to the FDIC, the FDIC may demand that the other subsidiary bank or banks indemnify the FDIC for such a loss. Due to the capital position of each of our subsidiary banks, it would be impossible for any of them to provide any such required indemnification payments to the FDIC. In such instance, the FDIC has the right to close such banks and take them into receivership. Therefore, it is highly likely that the failure of any of our subsidiary banks will result in the failure of all of our subsidiary banks. In such case, the Company would lose its status as a regulated bank holding company and its only operations would be that of our trust company subsidiary, which cannot be expected to provide returns or income similar to what could be expected from a multi-bank holding company.

The capital raised in our offering may not be sufficient to absorb future losses, stabilize the Company’s capital position or permit future growth.

We believe the $71.8 million size of our current offering will provide sufficient capital to return each of our bank subsidiaries to “adequately capitalized” status through the end of 2010, meet the immediate requirements of the Directives and stabilize the Company’s capital position. Each Directive will remain in place until the respective subsidiary bank remains “adequately capitalized” for four consecutive quarters. Therefore, if we experience future losses, due to continued degradation of asset quality or otherwise, the capital raised in our offering may not be sufficient to stabilize the Company and may result in further regulatory action, including the possible issuance of new Directives or the failure of our subsidiary banks and the placement of them into receivership with the FDIC. If one of our subsidiary banks fails and is placed into receivership, it is highly likely the FDIC will exercise its “cross guarantee” rights and close the other subsidiary banks in order to reduce any loss or cost to the FDIC. Even if our subsidiary banks and the Company do continue to operate, the amount of capital we are raising in our offering may not be sufficient to permit us to resume our previous growth strategy. We expect to raise additional capital for our subsidiary banks through a subsequent offering within the next year. We are also considering borrowing funds to contribute as capital to our banks, attempting to redeem our subsidiary banks’ subordinated debentures at a discount (which would increase Tier 1 capital, but decrease total capital), consolidating our bank subsidiaries, or selling of one or more of our subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that any of these actions will be successful.

We are required to maintain capital to meet regulatory requirements, and if we fail to maintain sufficient capital, our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as our ability to maintain regulatory compliance, would be adversely affected.

Each of our subsidiary banks is subject to a Directive to return itself to “adequately capitalized” status by April 17, 2010; none of the banks met this deadline. Each Directive will remain in effect until the respective subsidiary bank remains “adequately capitalized” for four consecutive quarters. Furthermore, the board of directors of each of our subsidiary banks has adopted Corrective Resolutions, which commit the respective subsidiary banks to remain “well capitalized” at all times and to reach by December 31, 2009 (and thereafter maintain), a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 11% and to reach, by June 30, 2010 (and thereafter maintain), a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. As of March 31, 2010, however, none of our subsidiary banks were “adequately capitalized” or “well capitalized,” rather each bank was “critically undercapitalized.” Any further enforcement action taken by our regulators, whether pursuant to the Directives, FDIC Orders or otherwise, could require our subsidiary banks and/or the Company to maintain higher levels of capital.

Table of Contents

Our ability to achieve these goals depends on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the banking industry and market conditions and governmental activities, many of which are outside our control, and on our financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to satisfy these capital ratios and other regulatory requirements, our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Our failure to meet our regulatory capital requirements could result in further formal enforcement actions against us or our subsidiary banks, the possible failure of the subsidiary banks, and could further affect customer confidence, our ability to grow, our costs of funds and FDIC insurance costs, our ability to pay dividends, our ability to make acquisitions, and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
