JACKSONVILLE BANCORP, INC.

PROPOSED MERGER — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

The boards of directors of Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (“ABI”) and Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”) have each unanimously approved a transaction that will result in the merger of ABI with and into JBI, according to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 10, 2010, as amended on September 20, 2010. The merger would result in JBI being the surviving entity. Before we complete the merger, the ABI’s shareholders must approve the merger agreement and the merger. ABI’s shareholders will vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on October 28, 2010. JBI’s shareholders are not required to approve the merger agreement or the merger.

The merger is contingent upon, among other things:

the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the sale by JBI of approximately 3.89 million shares of its common stock for $35.0 million to accredited investors, which are private equity firms not currently affiliated with JBI or ABI pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 10, 2010, as amended on September 20, 2010, by and among JBI and the investors in the stock purchase, and
approval by JBI’s shareholders of the stock purchase and the amendment and restatement of JBI’s articles of incorporation.

If the merger is completed, ABI’s shareholders will have the right to receive 0.2 shares of JBI common stock and $0.67 in cash for each share of ABI common stock held. The exact total number of shares of JBI common stock to be issued in the merger will depend on the total number of shares of ABI common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Based on the closing sales price of JBI common stock of $8.23 on September 10, 2010, if the merger consideration was being determined as of such date, ABI shareholders would be entitled to receive JBI common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $2,053,410, plus cash in an aggregate amount of approximately $835,836, which is a value of $1.646 in JBI common stock plus cash in the amount of $0.67 for each share of ABI common stock held on September 10, 2010.

If the merger and the stock purchase are completed, the shareholders of ABI, the current shareholders of JBI and the investors will own approximately 4%, 30% and 66%, respectively, of JBI’s outstanding common stock following the transactions, assuming that 249,503 shares of JBI common stock are issued to ABI shareholders in the merger. Accordingly, after the merger and stock purchase, the investors will have the power to elect JBI’s directors and otherwise control JBI as a result of their ownership of a majority of JBI’s outstanding common stock. The common stock of JBI trades on The NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “JAXB.”

Approval of the merger requires bank regulatory approvals and the affirmative vote of the holders of 70% of the shares of ABI common stock issued and outstanding on September 10, 2010, which is the record date for the ABI special meeting. The directors of ABI, through a stockholders agreement, have agreed to vote their shares of ABI common stock in favor of the merger, subject to certain exceptions. The directors of ABI collectively beneficially own approximately 14.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of ABI common stock.

The ABI board of directors unanimously recommends the merger and believes that the combination of the two companies is advisable and in the best interests of its shareholders.

You should read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the attached annexes and the documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, carefully because they contain important information about the merger and the related transactions. In particular, you should read carefully the information under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26 .

The shares of JBI common stock to be issued to ABI’s shareholders in the merger are not deposits or savings accounts or other obligations of any bank or savings association, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the merger described in this proxy statement/prospectus or the JBI common stock to be issued in connection with the merger, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement/prospectus is dated               , 2010 and is first being mailed to the shareholders of ABI on or about               , 2010.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To be Held on October 28, 2010



 

DEAR ATLANTIC BANCGROUP, INC. SHAREHOLDER:

You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of shareholders of Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (“ABI”), which will be held at Selva Marina Country Club located at 1600 Selva Marina Drive, Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233, on October 28, 2010, beginning at 3:00 p.m., local time.

At the ABI special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

To approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 10, 2010, as amended on September 20, 2010, and the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement including, among other things, the merger of ABI with and into Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”) with JBI remaining as the surviving entity.
To approve a proposal to grant discretionary authority to the persons named as proxies to adjourn the ABI special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the ABI special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

These proposals are described more fully in the attached proxy statement/prospectus. You should carefully review all of the information set forth in the attached proxy statement/prospectus, including without limitation, the matters discussed under “Risk Factors.” Only ABI shareholders of record at the close of business on September 10, 2010, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the ABI special meeting or any adjournment of the ABI special meeting. At the close of business on September 10, 2010, there were 1,247,516 shares of ABI common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Whether you expect to attend the ABI special meeting in person or not, it is important that your shares be represented. Please use the enclosed proxy card to vote on the matters to be considered at the ABI special meeting by signing and dating the proxy card and mailing it promptly in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States. Returning a signed proxy card will not prevent you from attending the ABI special meeting and voting in person if you wish to do so.

A holder of ABI common stock who complies with the provisions of Florida law relating to appraisal rights applicable to the merger is entitled to assert appraisal rights under the Florida appraisal rights law, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this document.

Whether you attend the ABI special meeting or not, you may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is voted by submitting to ABI’s Corporate Secretary a duly executed revocation of proxy bearing a later date or a new, later-dated proxy card for the same shares, or by appearing and voting in person at the ABI special meeting. You may revoke a proxy by any of these methods, regardless of the method used to deliver your previous proxy. Attendance at the ABI special meeting without voting will not itself revoke a proxy.

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least 70% of the shares of ABI common stock outstanding on September 10, 2010 is required for the approval of Proposal No. 1 regarding approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, including the merger. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of ABI common stock entitled to vote at the ABI special meeting that are present in person or represented by proxy and actually cast on the proposal at the ABI special meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 2.

The board of directors of ABI unanimously recommends that you vote “ FOR ” each of the proposals described in the attached materials.

 
  By Order of the Board of Directors
     Very truly yours,
  
David L. Young
Corporate Secretary
September    , 2010

Q: Why is ABI merging with JBI?
A: The boards of directors of ABI and JBI believe that the combination of the two companies by merger is advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and shareholders.

ABI’s board of directors also believes the merger will enable ABI to serve better its customers with more products and services. Based upon these and other factors, ABI’s board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of the ABI shareholders.

JBI’s board of directors believes that the merger will enable JBI to expand in its target market areas. JBI’s board of directors also believes that the pricing, market and culture fit indicate the acquisition of ABI will be advantageous to JBI’s growth and expansion plans. Based upon these and other factors, JBI’s board of directors believes that the merger is in the best interests of the JBI shareholders. More detailed reasons for the merger are provided starting on page 44 .

Q: What will ABI shareholders receive as consideration in the merger?
A: ABI shareholders will receive, for each share of common stock owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, 0.2 shares of JBI common stock and $0.67 in cash.

A: After the merger is completed, you will receive written instructions, including a letter of transmittal, which will explain how to exchange your shares of ABI common stock for shares of JBI common stock.

Q: When do you expect the merger to be completed?
A: The parties are working toward completing the merger as quickly as possible, but cannot predict the exact timing. It is expected that the merger will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, assuming that all closing conditions contained in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived at that time. See “The Merger — Conditions Precedent to Completion of the Merger.”

A: No. After the merger is completed, you will receive written instructions for the exchange of your shares of ABI common stock for shares of ABI common stock. Do not return your stock certificate with your proxy card.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: Am I entitled to exercise appraisal rights instead of receiving the merger consideration for my shares of ABI common stock?
A: Yes. Under Florida law, shareholders of ABI have appraisal rights and if you follow the procedures prescribed by Florida law, you may dissent from the merger and receive the fair value of your ABI shares. To perfect your appraisal rights, you must follow precisely the required statutory procedures. To the extent you are successful in pursuing your appraisal rights, the fair value of your ABI shares, determined in the manner prescribed by Florida law, which may be more or less than the value you would receive in the merger if you do not dissent, will be paid to you in cash. This cash payment will be fully taxable to you.

Q: What vote of ABI shareholders is required to approve the proposals?
A: The vote requirements for the ABI shareholders to approve the proposals are as follows:
the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 70% of the shares of ABI common stock outstanding on the record date for the special meeting; and
the proposal to grant discretionary authority to those persons named as proxies to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of ABI common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting that are present in person or represented by proxy and actually cast on the proposal at the ABI special meeting.
Q: Will ABI’s management vote their shares in favor of the merger?
A: The directors of ABI, through a stockholders agreement, have agreed to vote their shares of ABI common stock in favor of the merger, subject to certain exceptions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: How many shares must be present or represented at the special meeting in order to conduct business?
A: A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid special meeting. A quorum will be present at the special meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares of ABI’s common stock entitled to vote on the record date are present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for purposes of constituting a quorum under Florida law.
Q: What do I need to do now? How do I vote?
A: You are urged to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including its annexes, carefully and in its entirety. You are encouraged to consider how the merger affects you. You may vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing each proxy card or vote instruction card and returning it in the envelope provided.

If your shares of ABI common stock are held in “street name” by your broker, be sure to give your broker instructions on how you want to vote your shares because your broker will not be able to vote your shares on the proposals at the special meeting without instructions from you. See the question below “If my broker holds my shares in ‘street name,’ will my broker vote my shares for me?”

Q: When should I send in my proxy card?
A: You should complete, sign, date and mail your proxy card or voting instruction card in the envelope provided as soon as possible so that your shares will be voted at the special meeting.
Q: If my broker holds my shares in “street name,” will my broker vote my shares for me?
A: Yes, but only if you provide specific instructions to your broker on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. Without these instructions, your shares will not be voted.
Q: May I vote in person?
A: Yes. You may attend the ABI special meeting and vote your shares in person. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must get a proxy card from your broker or bank in order to attend the ABI special meeting and vote in person.

You are urged to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible, even if you plan to attend the special meeting, as it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the special meeting. If you attend the special meeting, you may vote in person as you wish, even though you have previously returned your proxy card. See the question below “May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?”

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?
A: Yes. You may change your vote at any time before the shares of ABI common stock reflected on your proxy card are voted at the special meeting. If your shares are registered in your name, you can do this in one of three ways:
first, you can deliver to ABI’s Corporate Secretary a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy; the written notice must bear a date later than the proxy card;
second, you can complete, execute and deliver to ABI’s Corporate Secretary a new, later-dated proxy card for the same shares, provided the new proxy card is received before the polls close at the ABI special meeting; or
third, you can attend the ABI special meeting and vote in person.

Any written notice of revocation should be delivered to ABI’s Corporate Secretary at or before the taking of the vote at the special meeting. Your attendance at the special meeting alone will not revoke your proxy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you have instructed your broker to vote your shares you must follow directions received from your broker to change your vote. You cannot vote shares held in “street name” by returning a proxy card directly to ABI or by voting in person at the special meeting, unless you obtain a proxy card from your bank or broker.

Q: Who will bear the cost of the solicitation?
A: The expense of soliciting proxies of ABI shareholders will be borne by ABI. Regan & Associates, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, will assist ABI in soliciting proxies with respect to the special meeting. ABI will pay to Regan & Associates, Inc. a fee of $10,000 for such services. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of ABI’s directors, officers and employees, personally or by telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. No additional compensation will be paid for these services, but ABI will reimburse them for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur in their solicitation efforts. ABI will also reimburse brokers, banks and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares for their reasonable expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners.
Q: What happens if I sell my shares of ABI common stock before the special meeting?

TABLE OF CONTENTS

June 30, 2010, JBI had total consolidated assets of approximately $452.2 million, consolidated total loans (net of allowance for loan losses) of approximately $373.8 million, consolidated total deposits of approximately $391.7 million, and consolidated shareholders’ equity of approximately $25.0 million.

What Shareholders of ABI Will Receive in the Merger (see page 61 )

If the merger is completed, each outstanding share of ABI common stock will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration (JBI common stock and cash). ABI shareholders will have the right to receive, for each share of ABI common stock that they own, 0.2 shares of JBI common stock and $0.67 in cash. There are no outstanding options to purchase ABI common stock.

Risk Factors (see page 26 )

The “RISK FACTORS” section beginning on page 26 of this proxy statement/prospectus should be considered carefully by ABI shareholders in evaluating whether to approve the proposals. These risk factors should be considered along with any additional risk factors in the reports of ABI and JBI filed with the SEC and any other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation of the ABI Board of Directors (see page 37 )

After careful consideration, the ABI board of directors unanimously adopted the merger agreement and determined that the merger would be fair to, and in the best interests of, ABI and its shareholders, and declared the merger to be advisable. The ABI board of directors unanimously recommends that ABI shareholders vote “ FOR ” the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, and “ FOR ” the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

ABI’s Reasons for the Merger (see page 44 )

ABI’s board of directors evaluated the financial, market and other considerations bearing on the decision to adopt and recommend the merger agreement. In reaching its conclusion that the merger agreement is in the best interests of ABI and its shareholders, the ABI board of directors carefully considered several material factors, which are discussed under “The Merger — ABI’s Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of ABI’s Board of Directors.”

Opinion of ABI’s Financial Advisor (see page 45 )

In deciding to approve the merger agreement and the merger, the board of directors of ABI considered, among other things, the opinion of its financial advisor, Allen C. Ewing & Co., an independent investment bank specializing in advising financial institutions, that, based upon and subject to various matters set forth in its opinion, the terms of the merger were fair, from a financial point of view, to ABI’s shareholders. The opinion is based on and subject to procedures, matters, and limitations described in the opinion and other matters that Ewing deemed relevant. The fairness opinion is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. We urge all ABI shareholders to read the entire opinion, which describes the procedures followed, matters considered, and limitations on the review undertaken by Ewing in providing its opinion.

ABI’s Directors and Executive Officers and ABI’s Affiliates Have Interests in the Merger (see page 53 )

When ABI shareholders consider ABI’s board of directors’ recommendation that they vote in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, they should be aware that the executive officers of ABI, the members of ABI’s board of directors, and ABI’s affiliates have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of ABI shareholders generally. ABI’s board of directors was aware of these interests when it adopted the merger agreement. Such material interests are as follows:

appointment of Donald F. Glisson, Jr. to JBI’s board of directors;
employment or severance payments offered by JBI to the employees of Oceanside Bank;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

payments offered by JBI to certain ABI directors and executive officers in connection with the termination of their salary continuation agreements; and
provisions in the merger agreement relating to director and officer liability insurance and the indemnification of ABI’s officers and directors for certain liabilities.

JBI’s Reasons for the Merger (see page 45 )

JBI’s board of directors, with the assistance of legal advisors, evaluated the financial, legal and market considerations bearing on the decision to adopt and recommend the merger agreement. In reaching its conclusion that the merger agreement is in the best interests of JBI and its shareholders, JBI’s board of directors carefully considered several material factors, which are discussed under “The Merger — JBI’s Reasons for the Merger.”

ABI is Prohibited from Soliciting Other Offers (see page 67 )

The merger agreement contains detailed provisions that prohibit ABI and its respective officers, directors, and agents, from taking any action to encourage, to solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal which constitutes an acquisition proposal, entering into any letter of intent or agreement relating to any acquisition proposal other than a confidentiality agreement, or participating in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or taking any other action knowingly to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any acquisition proposal. The merger agreement does not, however, prohibit ABI from engaging in negotiations and providing non-public information (subject to obtaining confidentiality agreements) in response to any unsolicited proposal from any unrelated party if ABI’s board of directors determines, in good faith, that the acquisition proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to the delivery of, a superior financial proposal to ABI shareholders.

What Is Needed to Complete the Merger (see page 62 )

We cannot complete the merger until we receive the approval of certain regulatory agencies. Applications were filed with the Federal Reserve Board and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the OFR) seeking approval of the merger in May and June 2010. The final approvals from the Federal Reserve Board or the OFR may impose conditions or restrictions that, in the opinion of JBI and/or ABI, would have a material adverse effect on the economic or business benefits of the merger. In that event, JBI and ABI may terminate the merger agreement.

The merger is also contingent upon the stock purchase and the approval by the JBI shareholders of the stock purchase and the amendment and restatement of JBI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. In addition to the conditions described above, there are a number of other conditions that must be met before the merger can be completed. We have described these conditions in detail later in the proxy statement/prospectus.

Termination and Termination Fees (see page 67 )

ABI and JBI can agree by mutual consent to terminate the merger agreement, if the board of directors of each determines to do so. Further, under circumstances specified in the merger agreement, either ABI or JBI may terminate the merger agreement. Those circumstances are described in detail later in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, under certain circumstances, which are also described in detail later in this proxy statement/prospectus, if the merger agreement is terminated, ABI may be required to pay to JBI a termination fee, or JBI may be required to pay to ABI a termination fee.

Differences in Rights of JBI’s Shareholders After the Merger (see page 175 )

When the merger is consummated, ABI shareholders will become JBI shareholders, and their rights as JBI shareholders will be governed by JBI’s newly amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Post Merger Articles”) and bylaws (the “Post Merger Bylaws”), and by the Florida Business Corporation Act (the FBCA). The rights of JBI shareholders after the merger (including the former ABI shareholders) differ from the rights of ABI’s current shareholders in certain important respects, which are detailed in the section entitled “Comparison of Rights of Holders of ABI Common Stock and JBI Common Stock.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (see page 53 )

The merger has been structured to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the merger qualifies as a reorganization, ABI shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss solely from the exchange of ABI common stock for JBI common stock. Because the merger consideration also involves a cash payment, ABI shareholders may recognize gain (but not loss) from the exchange, but not in excess of the cash received. To the extent an ABI shareholder is paid cash in lieu of any fractional share of JBI common stock, such shareholder will recognize gain or loss with respect to such fractional share.

We urge you to read the discussion in the section entitled “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” for a more complete discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences to you of the merger will depend on your particular circumstances. We urge you to consult your own tax advisor to fully understand the particular tax consequences of the merger to you.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger (see page 57 )

The merger will be accounted for as a “purchase,” as that term is used under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, known as GAAP, for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities of ABI as of the effective time of the merger will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of JBI. Any excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Financial statements of JBI issued after the completion of the merger would reflect such fair values and would not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of ABI.

Appraisal Rights (see page 69 )

Each holder of ABI common stock as of the record date who perfects such holder’s rights is entitled to the dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the FBCA, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in the dissenters’ rights of appraisal provisions of the FBCA. Pursuant to Section 607.1302 of the FBCA, an ABI shareholder who does not wish to accept the merger consideration (shares of JBI common stock and cash) to be received pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement may dissent from the merger and elect to receive the fair value of his or her ABI shares immediately prior to the completion of the merger. A more thorough discussion of the appraisal rights of ABI shareholders is provided in the section entitled “The Merger —  Appraisal Rights.” JBI has the right to terminate the merger agreement if holders in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares of ABI common stock properly assert their dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the merger.

JBI Common Stock on NASDAQ (see page 66 )

JBI’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. After filing the registration statement on Form S-4 containing this proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC, JBI will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that all JBI common stock issued in the merger is approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Oceanside Bank is Subject to a Consent Order (see page 114 )

Effective January 7, 2010, Oceanside Bank became subject to a consent order issued by the FDIC and the OFR. The consent order represents an agreement among Oceanside Bank, the FDIC, and the OFR as to areas of Oceanside Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The consent order imposes no fines or penalties on Oceanside Bank. The consent order’s most significant requirement is that Oceanside Bank achieves and maintains a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of not less than 11%. At June 30, 2010, Oceanside Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 4.64% and its total risk-based capital ratio was 8.20%. The consent order also requires Oceanside Bank to reduce the balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC according to a graduated scale, culminating in such loans totaling not more than 50% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL on or before January 2, 2011. Oceanside Bank did meet the first two targeted goals, with classified assets cited by the FDIC of $14.1 million at June 30, 2010, or 79.4% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL ($17.8 million). The consent order also places other operational and lending restrictions and requirements on Oceanside Bank.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABI’s Auditors have Expressed Concern about ABI’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (see page F- 66 )

In its report dated April 15, 2010, ABI’s independent registered public accounting firm stated that ABI’s net losses raise substantial doubts about ABI’s ability to continue as a going concern. In that firm’s opinion, ABI’s ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt as a result of the continued deterioration of its loan portfolio and is subject to ABI’s ability to service its existing loans in a manner that will return ABI to profitability or to identify and consummate a strategic transaction, including the potential sale of ABI. If ABI is not able to successfully accomplish such actions, it is possible that its subsidiary bank, Oceanside Bank, may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

UNAUDITED COMBINED COMPANY PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited combined company pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of JBI and ABI and has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 give effect to the merger, accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of ABI, as of the effective date of the merger, will be recorded at their respective fair values and the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of ABI’s net assets will be allocated to goodwill. The final allocation of the merger consideration will be determined after the merger is completed and after the fair values of ABI’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the effective date of the merger are determined. As a result, the final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited combined company pro forma financial information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, are based upon the unaudited financial statements of JBI and ABI as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2009 is based on the audited financial statements of ABI and JBI included in this proxy statement/prospectus. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the transaction as if consummated at the beginning of the period presented and do not give effect to any anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements in connection with the transaction.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be considered together with the historical financial statements of ABI and JBI, including the respective notes to those statements, included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The pro forma information is based on certain assumptions described in the accompanying notes and does not necessarily indicate the consolidated financial position or the results of operations in the future or the consolidated financial position or the results of operations that would have been realized had the merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or as of the date for which the pro forma information was presented.

g. ABI currently has a valuation allowance against the majority of its deferred tax assets. The merger does result in an ownership change for tax purposes, which could further limit the ability to realize some of its deferred tax assets. As a result, the pro forma adjustments include a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets arising from the purchase and fair value adjustments on the assets and liabilities of ABI. Reversal of the valuation allowance will occur at such time it is determined that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets could be realized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

JBI

As of September 10, 2010, the closing price of JBI’s common stock was $8.23 and JBI had 1,749,387 outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, held by approximately 160 registered shareholders of record.

It is the policy of JBI’s board of directors to reinvest earnings for such period of time as is necessary to ensure its successful operations. There are no current plans to initiate payment of cash dividends, and future dividend policy will depend on JBI’s earnings, capital and regulatory requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by JBI’s board of directors. For more information regarding JBI’s ability to pay dividends and restrictions thereon, please refer to the section entitled “Business — Regulation and Supervision,” which information is hereby incorporated by reference.

ABI

Prior to October 28, 1999, the shares of ABI’s common stock were not actively traded, and such trading activity, as it occurred, took place in privately negotiated transactions. On October 28, 1999, ABI’s common stock was approved for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and on August 29, 2003, ABI’s common stock commenced its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As of September 10, 2010, the closing price of ABI’s common stock was $3.42.

On September 10, 2010 there were approximately 553 shareholders of record of ABI with shares held by individuals and in nominee names.

ABI has never paid a cash dividend on its common stock. ABI anticipates that for the foreseeable future, any earnings will be retained for capital. Accordingly, ABI does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of future dividends will be at the sole discretion of the ABI’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, future earnings, capital requirements, and ABI’s general financial and business condition.

Furthermore, the ability to pay dividends to ABI’s shareholders depends primarily on dividends received from Oceanside Bank and is further restricted by the written agreement with the Reserve Bank. Oceanside Bank’s ability to pay dividends is limited by federal and state banking regulations based upon Oceanside Bank’s profitability and other factors and the consent order. At September 10, 2010, no retained earnings were available to pay dividends to ABI.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors in evaluating whether to vote for the approval of the merger agreement and the merger. If the merger is consummated, ABI and JBI will operate as a combined company in a market environment that cannot be predicted and that involves significant risks, many of which will be beyond the combined company’s control. An investment in the combined company’s common stock contains a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the caption “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” you should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding how to vote your shares. We have described below the risks and uncertainties that we believe to be material to a decision on how to vote your shares. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, the combined company, its results of operation or financial condition could be adversely impacted.

If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such an event, the trading price of the common stock of JBI could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Risks Related to the Merger

Because the number of shares of JBI common stock you will receive for each share of ABI common stock you hold is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of changes in the price of either JBI’s or ABI’s common stock, the market value of the shares of JBI common stock you will receive in connection with the merger is subject to change prior to the completion of the merger.

The number of shares of JBI common stock you will receive for each share of ABI common stock you hold is fixed such that each share of ABI common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.2 shares of JBI common stock (as well as $0.67 in cash) per share in connection with the merger. No adjustments to this exchange ratio will be made based on changes in the price of either the JBI common stock or ABI common stock prior to the completion of the merger. Changes in stock price may result from a variety of factors, including, among others, general market and economic conditions, changes in JBI’s or ABI’s respective businesses, operations and prospects, market assessment of the likelihood that the merger will be completed as anticipated or at all and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

As a result of any such changes in stock price, the market value of the shares of JBI common stock that you will receive at the time that the merger is completed could vary significantly from the value of such shares immediately prior to the public announcement of the merger, on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, on the date of the ABI special meeting, or on the date on which you actually receive your shares of JBI common stock. Accordingly, at the time of the ABI special meeting, you will not know or be able to calculate the exact market value of the consideration that you will receive upon completion of the merger.

JBI may have difficulties integrating ABI’s operations into JBI’s operations or may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.

The merger involves the integration of two companies that have previously operated independently of each other. Successful integration of ABI’s operations will depend primarily on JBI’s ability to consolidate ABI’s operations, systems and procedures into those of JBI and to eliminate redundancies and costs. JBI may not be able to integrate the operations without encountering difficulties including, without limitation:

the loss of key employees and customers;
possible inconsistencies in standards, control procedures and policies; and
unexpected problems with costs, operations, personnel, technology or credit.

26


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In determining that the merger is in the best interests of JBI and ABI, as the case may be, the board of directors of each of JBI and ABI considered that enhanced earnings may result from the consummation of the merger, including from the reduction of duplicate costs, improved efficiency and cross-marketing opportunities. However, any enhanced earnings or cost savings may not be fully realized or may take longer to be realized than expected.

JBI and ABI will incur significant transaction and merger-related integration costs in connection with the merger.

JBI and ABI expect to incur significant costs associated with completing the merger and integrating the operations of the two companies. JBI and ABI are continuing to assess the impact of these costs. Although JBI and ABI believe that the elimination of duplicate costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, will offset incremental transaction and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

The loss of key personnel may adversely affect JBI.

JBI’s success is, and is expected to remain, highly dependent on its senior management team. JBI relies heavily on its senior management because, as a community bank, it is its management’s extensive knowledge of, and relationships in, the community that generate business for JBI. Successful execution of JBI’s growth strategy will continue to place significant demands on its management and the loss of any such person’s services may adversely affect its growth and profitability. JBI and Jacksonville Bank are primarily dependent upon the services of Price W. Schwenck, Chief Executive Officer; Gilbert J. Pomar, III, President; Valerie A. Kendall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Scott M. Hall, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. If the services of these individuals were to become unavailable for any reason, or if JBI was unable to hire highly qualified and experienced personnel to replace them, JBI’s operating results could be adversely affected.

After the closing of the merger, JBI expects to integrate ABI’s business into its own. The integration process and JBI’s ability to successfully conduct ABI’s business after the merger will require the experience and expertise of key employees of Oceanside Bank. Therefore, the ability to successfully integrate ABI’s operations with those of JBI, as well as the future success of the combined company’s operations, will depend, in part, on JBI’s ability to retain key employees of Oceanside Bank following the merger. JBI may not be able to retain key employees for the time period necessary to complete the integration process or beyond. Although JBI does not have any reason to believe any of these employees will cease to be employed by JBI, the loss of such employees could adversely affect JBI’s ability to successfully conduct its business in the markets in which ABI now operates, which could have an adverse effect on JBI’s financial results and the value of its common stock.

The merger cannot be completed unless regulatory approvals are received and conditions of those approvals are met.

We cannot complete the merger unless JBI receives the necessary regulatory approvals and we may not receive all regulatory approvals. We have filed applications with the Federal Reserve Board and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the OFR) seeking approval of the merger. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board or the OFR may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes in the terms of the merger. These conditions or changes could result in termination of the merger agreement, or could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing additional costs or limiting the possible revenues of the combined company.

Also, in connection with the stock purchase and as a condition precedent to the stock purchase and the merger, the lead investor must become a bank holding company by application to, and approval by, the Federal Reserve Board. The lead Investor may be unable to obtain approval by the Federal Reserve Board to be a bank holding company, which could ultimately result in termination of the merger agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The merger agreement limits ABI’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger.

The merger agreement contains provisions that limit ABI’s ability to discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of ABI. In addition, ABI has agreed to pay JBI a fee of $300,000 if the transaction is terminated because ABI decides to pursue another acquisition transaction. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of ABI from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay a higher per share price than that proposed in the merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire ABI than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

Certain directors and executive officers of ABI have economic interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition, to their interests as shareholders.

Executive officers and directors of ABI and JBI negotiated the terms of the merger agreement, and the ABI and JBI boards of directors approved the merger agreement and the merger and the ABI board of directors recommended that their shareholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger. In considering these facts and the other information in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that certain directors and executive officers of ABI have economic interests in the merger other than their interests as shareholders. For example, ABI’s directors will receive indemnification from JBI after the merger closes, and certain directors and executive officers of ABI will receive cash payments from JBI in connection with the termination of their salary continuation agreements. The board of directors of ABI was aware of these interests at the time it approved the merger. These interests may cause ABI’s directors and executive officers to view the merger proposal differently and more favorably than you may view it.

If the merger does not constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, then ABI shareholders may be responsible for payment of U.S. federal income taxes.

The United States Internal Revenue Service, or “IRS,” may determine that the merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. In that case, each ABI shareholder would recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the JBI common stock plus cash received by the shareholder in the merger, and the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of ABI common stock exchanged therefor.

If the merger is not completed, the trading price of ABI common stock could decline.

If the merger is not completed, ABI may be subject to a number of material risks, including that the price of ABI’s common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of ABI’s common stock reflects an assumption that the merger will be completed.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and JBI’s actual financial position and results of operations after the merger may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the merger been completed on the dates indicated.

The merger will not be completed unless important conditions are satisfied.

Specified conditions set forth in the merger agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the merger. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, to the extent permitted by law or stock exchange rules, the merger will not occur or will be delayed and each of JBI and ABI may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the merger. The following conditions, in addition to other customary closing conditions, must be satisfied or waived, if permissible, before JBI and ABI are obligated to complete the merger:

the merger agreement and merger must be approved by the holders of at least 70% of the outstanding shares of ABI common stock as of the record date of the ABI special meeting;

28


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

all required regulatory consents must be obtained;
the stock purchase and the amendment and restatement of JBI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws are approved by JBI shareholders;
the satisfaction of the conditions to closing in the stock purchase agreement and the receipt of notification from the investors they have received all funds necessary to complete the stock purchase; and
the absence of any law or order by a court or regulatory authority that prohibits, restricts or makes illegal the merger.

Sales of substantial amounts of JBI common stock in the open market by former ABI shareholders could depress JBI’s stock price.

Other than shares held by persons who will be affiliates of JBI after the merger, shares of JBI common stock that are issued to shareholders of ABI will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act.

As of the record date, JBI had approximately 1.75 million shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 161,500 shares of common stock subject to outstanding options and other rights to purchase or acquire its shares. JBI currently expects that it will issue approximately 3.25 million shares of JBI common stock in connection with the merger and the stock purchase.

If the merger is completed and if ABI’s shareholders sell substantial amounts of JBI common stock in the public market following completion of the merger, the market price of JBI common stock may decrease. These sales might also make it more difficult for JBI to sell equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that it otherwise would deem appropriate.

If ABI does not complete the merger, there are substantial doubts as to its ability to continue as a going concern and it is possible that Oceanside Bank may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

In its report dated April 15, 2010, ABI’s independent registered public accounting firm stated that its significant losses from operations and depleted capital raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the merger is not completed, and ABI is otherwise unsuccessful in significantly raising its capital levels and ratios through execution of another viable strategic alternative, it is possible that Oceanside Bank may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC. In such case, it is highly likely ABI will cease operations and end its corporate existence. It is also highly unlikely that ABI would be left with any material amount of assets to distribute to its common shareholders if ABI ends its corporate existence. Furthermore, there is substantial risk that ABI would be unsuccessful in its attempts to execute strategic alternatives other than the merger.

Risks Related to the JBI Business

JBI’s capital may not be adequate to continue to support the current rate of growth.

Future capital requirements depend on many factors, including the ability to successfully attract new customers and provide additional services, the timing of opening new branch locations, the decision to acquire or merger with other banks or bank holding companies, changes in regulatory requirements for capital and Jacksonville Bank’s profitability levels. If adequate capital is not available, JBI will be subject to an increased level of regulatory supervision, it may not be able to expand its operations, and its business operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

JBI may require additional capital in the future, which could result in dilution of its shareholders’ ownership interest.

Any capital that is likely to be generated by JBI’s operations over the next several years is expected to be needed to continue expanding its operations. Additionally, JBI’s board of directors may determine from time to time that, in order to support its strategic objectives, there is a need to obtain additional capital through the issuance of additional shares of its common stock or other securities. These issuances would dilute the ownership interest of then-current JBI shareholders, may dilute the per share book value of JBI’s common

29


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock and would only require shareholder approval under certain circumstances. The terms of security issuances by JBI in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that JBI may need may not be available on terms favorable to JBI, or at all.

JBI may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. JBI may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities its issues, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact JBI’s financial condition.

JBI’s concentration in loans secured by real estate may increase its credit losses, which would negatively affect its financial results.

Due to the nature of JBI’s market, a significant portion of its portfolio has historically been secured with real estate. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 59.9% of JBI’s $382.1 million loan portfolio was secured by commercial real estate.

The current downturn in the real estate market, the deterioration in the value of collateral, and the local and national economic recessions have adversely affected JBI’s clients’ ability to repay their loans. If these conditions persist, or worsen, JBI’s clients’ ability to repay their loans will be further eroded. In the event JBI is required to foreclose on a property securing one of its mortgage loans or otherwise pursue its remedies in order to protect its investment, JBI may be unable to recover funds in an amount equal to its projected return on its investment or in an amount sufficient to prevent a loss to JBI due to prevailing economic conditions, real estate values and other factors associated with the ownership of real property. As a result, the market value of the real estate or other collateral underlying JBI’s loans may not, at any given time, be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding principal amount of the loans, and consequently, JBI would sustain loan losses.

Current levels of market volatility have been significant, and negative conditions and new developments in the financial services industry and the credit markets have and may continue to adversely affect JBI’s operations, financial performance and stock price.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. The markets have placed downward pressure on stock prices and the availability of capital, credit and liquidity has been adversely affected for many issuers, in some cases, without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial condition or performance. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, JBI may experience adverse effects, which may be material, on its ability to maintain or access capital and credit, and on its business, financial condition (including liquidity) and results of operations.

Uncertainty about the economy and its direction with the expectation for little or no economic growth as well as high unemployment during the next 12 – 18 months has adversely affected the financial markets. Loan portfolio performances have deteriorated at many financial institutions, including JBI’s, resulting from, among other factors, a weak economy and a decline in the value of the collateral supporting loans. The competition for deposits has increased significantly due to liquidity concerns. Stock prices of bank holding companies, like JBI, have been negatively affected by the recent and current conditions in the financial markets, as has JBI’s ability, if needed, to raise capital, compared to prior years.

Recent legislation and government actions in response to market and economic conditions may significantly affect JBI’s operations, financial condition, and earnings.

In response to this financial crisis affecting the banking system and financial markets, the United States Congress enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Under these and other laws and government actions:

the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or “Treasury,” has provided capital to financial institutions and adopted programs to facilitate and finance the purchase of problem assets and finance asset-backed securities via the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or “TARP”;

30


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the FDIC provided temporary liquidity guarantee, or “TLG”, of all FDIC-insured institutions and their affiliates’ debt, as well as deposits in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts; and
the federal government has undertaken various forms of economic stimulus, including assistance to homeowners in restructuring mortgage payments on qualifying loans.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act restructures the regulation of depository institutions and contains various provisions designed to enhance the regulation of depository institutions and prevent the recurrence of a financial crisis such as that which occurred in 2008-2009. Included is the creation of a new federal agency to administer and enforce consumer and fair lending laws, a function that is now performed by the depository institution regulators. The federal preemption of state laws currently accorded federally chartered depository institutions will be reduced as well. The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on JBI’s business and operations will not be known for years until regulations implementing the statute are written and adopted. The Dodd-Frank Act may have a material impact on JBI’s operations, particularly through increased compliance costs resulting from possible future consumer and fair lending regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increased the limits on federal deposit insurance to $250,000.

TARP and the TLG are winding down, and the effects of this wind-down cannot be predicted. In addition, the federal government is considering various proposals for a comprehensive overhauling reform of the financial services industry and markets and coordinating reforms with other countries. There can be no assurance that these various initiatives or any other future legislative or regulatory initiatives will be successful at improving economic conditions globally, nationally or in JBI’s markets, or that the measures adopted will not have adverse consequences.

The costs of regulatory assessments and the TLG guarantees have increased and are expected to continue to adversely affect JBI’s results of operations.

Regulatory assessments increased substantially, from $417,000 in 2008 to $1.0 million in 2009, which includes a special assessment. JBI expects to pay higher FDIC premiums in the future. Bank failures have significantly depleted the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund and reduced its ratio of reserves to insured deposits. The FDIC has adopted a revised risk-based deposit insurance assessment schedule which raised deposit insurance premiums, and the FDIC has also implemented a special assessment on all depository institutions. Additional special assessments may be imposed by the FDIC for future periods. JBI participates in the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or TLG, for noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts guarantee program and debt guarantee program. Banks that participate in the TLG’s noninterest-bearing transaction account guarantee pay the FDIC a fee for such guarantee. These actions have significantly increased JBI’s noninterest expense in 2009 and are expected to increase its costs for the foreseeable future.

An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce JBI’s earnings.

The success of JBI depends to a significant extent upon the quality of its assets, particularly loans. In originating loans, there is a substantial likelihood that credit losses will be experienced. The risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for the loan. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, anticipated experience, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for probable loan losses based upon a percentage of the outstanding balances and for specific loans when their ultimate collectibility is considered questionable.

As of June 30, 2010, JBI’s allowance for loan losses was approximately $8.2 million, which represented 2.2% of its total amount of loans. JBI had approximately $6.4 million in nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2010. JBI manages any nonperforming loans in an effort to minimize credit losses and monitors its asset quality to maintain an adequate loan loss allowance. The allowance may not prove sufficient to cover future loan losses. Further, although management uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used or adverse developments arise with respect to JBI’s nonperforming or

31


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

performing loans. Accordingly, the allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover loan losses or significant increases to the allowance may be required in the future if economic conditions should worsen. Material additions to JBI’s allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of JBI’s net income and, its capital, among other adverse consequences.

Nonperforming assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect JBI’s results of operations and financial condition.

At June 30, 2010, JBI’s nonperforming loans were $6.4 million, or 1.7% of its gross loan portfolio, and its nonperforming assets (which include nonperforming loans) were $12.5 million, or 2.8% of total assets. In addition, JBI had approximately $8.5 million in accruing loans that were 30 to 89 days delinquent at June 30, 2010.

JBI’s nonperforming assets adversely affect its net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions improve, JBI may continue to incur additional losses relating to an increase in nonperforming loans. JBI does not record interest income on non-accrual loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting its income, and increasing its loan administration costs. JBI does incur the costs of funding problem assets and other real estate owned, however. When JBI takes collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, it is required to mark the collateral to its then fair value less expected selling costs, which, when compared to the principal amount of the loan, may result in a loss. In addition, given the increased levels of mortgage foreclosures in JBI’s market areas, the foreclosure process is now taking longer than it has in the recent past; this has served to increase the cost of foreclosures and the time needed to take title to the underlying property. Once JBI takes possession to foreclosed real estate, the costs of maintenance, taxes, security and potential environmental liability can be significant and serve to decrease the amount of recovery JBI may realize upon a sale of the property.

Unexpected losses in future reporting periods may require JBI to adjust the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

JBI evaluates the deferred tax assets for recoverability based on all available evidence. This process involves significant management judgment about assumptions that are subject to change from period to period based on changes in tax laws or variances between the future projected operating performance and the actual results. JBI is required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it determines, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the more-likely-than-not criterion, JBI evaluates all positive and negative evidence as of the end of each reporting period. Future adjustments, either increases or decreases, to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance will be determined based upon changes in the expected realization of the net deferred tax assets. The realization of the deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in either the carry-back or carry-forward periods under the tax law. Due to significant estimates utilized in establishing the valuation allowance and the potential for changes in facts and circumstances, it is reasonably possible that JBI will be required to record adjustments to the valuation allowance in future reporting periods. Such a change could have a material adverse effect on JBI’s results of operations, financial condition and capital position.

JBI is dependent on the operating performance of Jacksonville Bank to provide JBI with operating funds.

JBI is a bank holding company and is dependent upon dividends from Jacksonville Bank for funds to pay expenses and, if declared, cash dividends to shareholders. Jacksonville Bank is subject to regulatory limitations regarding the payment of dividends. Therefore, Jacksonville Bank may not be able to provide JBI with adequate funds to conduct its ongoing operations.

Jacksonville Bank’s lending limit restricts its ability to compete with larger financial institutions.

Jacksonville Bank’s per customer lending limit is approximately $9.6 million, subject to further reduction based on regulatory criteria relevant to any particular loan. Accordingly, the size of loans which Jacksonville Bank can offer to potential customers is less than the size that many of its competitors with larger lending limits are able to offer. This limit has affected and will continue to affect Jacksonville Bank’s ability to seek

32


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

relationships with larger businesses in the market. Jacksonville Bank accommodates loans in excess of its lending limit through the sale of portions of such loans to other banks. However, Jacksonville Bank may not be successful in attracting or maintaining customers seeking larger loans or in selling portions of such larger loans on terms that are favorable to Jacksonville Bank.

Risks Related to an Investment in JBI’s Common Stock

JBI’s common stock is thinly traded and, therefore, shareholders and investors may have difficulty selling shares.

JBI’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market; however, JBI is unable to provide assurance that an active market will exist in the future or that shares can be liquidated without delay. The average daily trading volume in JBI common stock was 225 shares during the first quarter of 2010 and 1,205 in 2009.

JBI does not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future.

JBI does not anticipate that dividends will be paid on its common stock for the foreseeable future. It is the policy of JBI’s board of directors to reinvest earnings for such period of time as is necessary to ensure JBI’s successful operations. There are no current plans to initiate payment of cash dividends, and future dividend policy will depend on JBI’s earnings, capital and regulatory requirements, financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by JBI’s board of directors. JBI is largely dependent upon dividends paid by Jacksonville Bank to provide funds to pay cash dividends if and when JBI’s board of directors may declare such dividends. No assurance can be given that future earnings will be sufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements and permit the legal payment of dividends to shareholders at any time in the future. Even if JBI could legally declare dividends, the amount and timing of such dividends would be at the discretion of its board of directors.

The market price of JBI’s common stock may be volatile.

The market price of JBI’s common stock is subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including the following:

quarterly variations in JBI’s operating results or those of other banking institutions;
changes in national and regional economic conditions, financial markets or the banking industry; and
other developments affecting JBI or other financial institutions.

The trading volume of JBI’s common stock is limited, which may increase the volatility of the market price for its stock. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in recent years. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies.

Your shares of common stock will not be an insured deposit.

Shares of JBI common stock are not a bank deposit and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Your investment will be subject to investment risk, and you must be capable of affording the loss of your entire investment.

ABI SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

This proxy statement/prospectus is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the ABI Special Meeting.

Place, Date and Time

The special meeting of ABI’s shareholders will be held at Selva Marina Country Club, 1600 Selva Marina Drive, Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233, Florida on October 28, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., local time (the “ABI Special Meeting”).

Purpose of the ABI Special Meeting

At the ABI Special Meeting, ABI shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposals to (i) approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 10, 2010 by and between ABI and JBI, as amended on September 20, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”) and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of ABI with and into JBI (the “Merger”); (ii) grant discretionary authority to the persons named as proxies to adjourn the meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Recommendation of ABI’s Board of Directors

The board of directors of ABI approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger and determined that the Merger is advisable and in the best interests of ABI and its shareholders. Accordingly, ABI’s board of directors unanimously recommends that ABI shareholders vote “FOR” all of the proposals.

In considering the recommendation of ABI’s board of directors, ABI shareholders should be aware that ABI’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of ABI shareholders. See “Interests of ABI’s Directors and Executive Officers and ABI’s Affiliates in the Merger” on (page 53 ).

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum

Only holders of record of ABI common stock at the close of business on September 10, 2010, the record date for the ABI Special Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the ABI Special Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, ABI had 1,247,516 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Holders of record of shares of ABI common stock on the record date are entitled to one vote per share on each matter considered at the ABI Special Meeting.

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid special meeting. A majority of the shares outstanding on the record date, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum to transact business at the meeting.

Voting of Proxies

Proxies are being solicited on behalf of ABI’s board of directors for use at the ABI Special Meeting. If you are an ABI shareholder of record, you may submit a proxy for the ABI Special Meeting by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the pre-addressed envelope provided. All signed, returned proxy cards that are not revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy card. Returned signed proxy cards that give no instructions as to how they should be voted on a particular proposal will be counted as votes “FOR” that proposal.

If you are an ABI shareholder of record, you may also vote in person at the ABI Special Meeting. If you hold shares of ABI in street name, you may not vote in person at the ABI Special Meeting unless you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares.

Revoking of Proxies

An ABI shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by completing, signing, dating and returning a proxy with a later date, which is received by ABI before the vote is taken, by delivering a written, dated notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of ABI, which is received by ABI before the vote is taken, stating that the proxy is revoked or by attending the meeting and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

voting in person. If a shareholder has instructed a broker, bank or nominee to vote the shareholder’s shares of ABI common stock by executing a voting instruction card, such shareholder must follow the directions received from the broker, bank or nominee to change the shareholder’s instructions.

Effect of Abstentions

If an ABI shareholder indicates on his or her proxy card or voting instruction card that the shareholder wishes to abstain from voting, these shares are considered present and entitled to vote at the meeting and will count toward determining whether or not a quorum is present. If an ABI shareholder does not sign and send in the proxy card or vote in person at the ABI Special Meeting, or if the shareholder marks the “abstain” box on the proxy card or voting instruction card:

it will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement; but
it will have no effect on the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the ABI Special Meeting.

Effect of Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes occur where a broker holding stock in “street name” is entitled to vote the shares on some matters but not others. If shares are in street name (or held by a broker) and the shareholder does not give his broker voting instructions on those matters for which the broker has no discretion, the missing votes are broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will be deemed present for quorum purposes for all proposals to be voted on at the ABI Special Meeting. Broker non-votes:

will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement; but
will have no effect on the proposal to grant discretionary authority to adjourn the ABI Special Meeting.

Required Vote

Approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 70% of the shares of ABI common stock outstanding on the record date of the ABI Special Meeting. Directors of ABI beneficially owning 14.5% of the outstanding shares of ABI common stock have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Approval of the proposal to grant discretionary authority to the persons named as proxies to adjourn the ABI Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote that are present in person or represented by proxy and actually cast at the ABI Special Meeting.

The inspector of elections appointed for the meeting will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes for each proposal.

Solicitation of Proxies

ABI has retained Regan & Associates, Inc. to serve as its proxy solicitor for the ABI Special Meeting. For this service, ABI will pay to Regan a $10,000 fee. ABI is also soliciting the proxies of its shareholders. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, certain directors, officers and other employees of ABI or Oceanside Bank may solicit the return of proxies by personal interview, telephone, e-mail or facsimile. Neither ABI nor Oceanside Bank will pay additional compensation to its directors, officers and employees for their solicitation efforts, but ABI will reimburse them for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur in their solicitation efforts. ABI will request that brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock registered in their names. ABI and JBI will share the costs of preparing this proxy statement/prospectus. ABI will bear all costs of assembling, printing and mailing the ABI Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement/prospectus, the enclosed proxy and any additional materials, as well as the cost of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock and all other costs of solicitation.

No Other Business

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, business transacted at a special meeting is limited to matters specifically designated in the notice of the special meeting, which is provided at the beginning of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no business other than the matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be conducted at the ABI Special Meeting.

The grant of a proxy will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxies on the proxy card to vote in accordance with their best judgment on procedural matters incident to the conduct of the ABI Special Meeting. Any adjournment or postponement may be made without notice by an announcement made at the ABI Special Meeting. If the persons named as proxies on the proxy card are asked to vote for one or more adjournments or postponements of the meeting for matters incidental to the conduct of the meeting, these persons will have the authority to vote in their discretion on such matters. However, if the persons named as proxies on the proxy card are asked to vote for one or more adjournments or postponements of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger, they will only have the authority to vote on such matter as instructed by you or your proxy or, if no instructions are provided, in favor of that adjournment or postponement. Any adjournment or postponement of the ABI Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow ABI’s shareholders who have already granted their proxies to revoke them at any time before their use.

THE MERGER

The following is a description of the material aspects of the Merger and the Merger Agreement. While ABI and JBI believe that the following description covers the material terms of the Merger, the description may not contain all of the information that is important to you. ABI and JBI encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the Merger Agreement attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, for a more complete understanding of the Merger.

Summary of the Merger

The Merger is a proposed business combination between ABI and JBI where ABI will merge with and into JBI, with JBI surviving the Merger. As soon as practicable after the Merger, JBI, as the surviving bank holding company, will merge Oceanside Bank with and into Jacksonville Bank, with Jacksonville Bank remaining as the surviving bank.

Background of the Merger

In late 2008, ABI’s board of directors concluded that ABI and Oceanside Bank would need to raise additional capital or engage in a strategic transaction (most likely a transaction resulting in Oceanside Bank being acquired) in order to survive the then-current economic recession and the anticipated levels of loan defaults caused by severe devaluation of real estate, including real estate securing loans made by Oceanside Bank. The ABI board’s conclusion was bolstered by Oceanside Bank’s loan losses in 2009 and 2010, and ultimately by the entry of a consent order against Oceanside Bank on January 7, 2010 (“Consent Order”).

On January 26, 2009, the investment banking firm of Kendrick Pierce & Company Securities, Inc. (“Kendrick Pierce”) presented a capital financial analysis to ABI’s board of directors describing ABI’s condition and opportunities relative to other similarly situated financial institutions. Following this board meeting, ABI management participated in discussions with Kendrick Pierce regarding the merits of a potential private placement of ABI securities.

On February 11, 2009, the investment banking firm of Sun Trust Robinson Humphrey addressed ABI’s board of directors concerning its views on the viability of a rights offering and the possibility of finding a “right fit” strategic partner with which to merge.

On March 12, 2009, Mr. Chandler and ABI Chairman Donald Glisson met to discuss a possible merger with representatives of a local bank that believed it had substantial capital it was unable to effectively leverage. After a series of meetings, this institution determined that it was not interested in pursuing an acquisition of ABI or Oceanside Bank.

On March 13, 2009, representatives of ABI’s board of directors met with another local financial institution regarding a possible merger. A series of discussions followed, but on June 16, 2009, this institution advised ABI that it could not obtain the capital necessary to consummate the discussed merger.

On March 16, 2009, Mr. Chandler met with a representative of the investment banking firm of Baxter Fentriss and Company Co. (“Baxter”) regarding alternative sources of capital. Baxter expressed pessimism about the amount of capital available to an institution like ABI.

On March 18, 2009, Mr. Chandler spoke with a representative of the investment banking firm of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”). After RJA evaluated ABI’s size, RJA informed Mr. Chandler that ABI was too small for RJA to serve as ABI’s investment banking firm.

On June 11, 2009, ABI engaged Kendrick Pierce to serve as ABI’s financial advisor and exclusive placement agent in connection with a proposed offering of $7.5 million to $15.0 million of securities.

During summer 2009, ABI continued to meet with various investment bankers to discuss various capital raising alternatives and merger opportunities. At the same time, ABI and Kendrick Pierce began to prepare materials for a private or public offering of ABI securities. Although ABI never commenced an offering, the final terms considered by the ABI board involved selling $15 million of units of preferred stock and warrants in a private placement. The preferred stock would have paid a 9% cumulative dividend and been convertible based on a $4.00 per common share conversion price. Each warrant would have permitted the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $5.00 per share during a five-year exercise period. If the entire

40


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proposed offering was sold to only new ABI shareholders, those new shareholders would have acquired approximately 79% of ABI’s outstanding voting securities.

On August 26, 2009, ABI representatives met with representatives of JBI and CapGen Capital Group IV, LP (“CapGen”). At this meeting, the participants discussed a proposal in which ABI and JBI, and Oceanside Bank and Jacksonville Bank, would combine, CapGen would inject $25 million in capital into the combined entity, and Jacksonville Bank Chairman Price Schwenck would become the CEO of the combined entity.

ABI’s board of directors approved proceeding with discussions and mutual due diligence with CapGen and JBI. As part of this process, and in order to encourage an investment by CapGen, ABI and JBI each agreed to CapGen’s request to permit KPMG to perform a valuation of the loan portfolio for both institutions. Based on KPMG’s initial analysis, CapGen agreed to invest $27.5 million in a combined ABI/JBI at a price of $10.00 per JBI share.

On September 1, 2009, ABI’s board of directors again met with representatives from Kendrick Pierce concerning the status of the potential private offering.

On October 9, 2009, ABI’s board of directors again met with representatives from Kendrick Pierce. At this time, Mr. Chandler estimated ABI’s capital needs at $12 million to $15 million. At this meeting, ABI’s board of directors also discussed the status of the proposed transaction with JBI and CapGen.

On October 15, 2009, representatives of ABI, JBI and CapGen met to discuss the proposed merger and investment. Based on due diligence to date, the participants discussed a proposal in which:

ABI would merge into JBI, and ABI shareholders would receive shares of JBI common stock based on a value of $3.50 per share of ABI common stock and $10.00 per share of JBI common stock;
Oceanside Bank would merge into Jacksonville Bank;
CapGen would inject $27.5 million in additional capital into JBI; and
Price Schwenck would be appointed the CEO of JBI.

ABI’s board of directors determined to continue to consider this proposal and to select a firm to prepare a fairness opinion.

On October 29, 2009, ABI’s board of directors met to review the terms and pricing of the proposal. Mr. Glisson reported that he had a discussion with representatives of CapGen and JBI concerning an alternative valuation scheme of $5.00 per ABI share and $7.50 per JBI share. Such a structure was not acceptable to JBI and CapGen. Mr. Glisson was instructed to make a counteroffer based on a $5.00 per share valuation for ABI and an $8.50 per share valuation for JBI. ABI’s board of directors also approved engaging Allen C. Ewing & Co. (“Ewing”) to provide financial advice and to render a fairness opinion to ABI.

In early November 2009, ABI’s board of directors determined to not proceed with a public or private offering of securities and to rather focus solely on consummating the merger/investment transaction with JBI and CapGen. The basis of this determination was ABI’s board of directors’ evaluation of other unsuccessful offerings among Florida banks, the uncertain environment for capital raising and bank operations and the uncertainty as to how long an offering would take to complete.

On November 19, 2009, a representative of Ewing met with ABI’s board of directors to discuss the proposed merger/investment transaction with JBI and CapGen. On December 4, 2009, Ewing presented a report to ABI’s board of directors regarding ABI’s capital raising options and the proposed merger/investment transaction with JBI and CapGen. In connection with its report, Ewing’s affiliate, Ewing Loan Advisors (“ELA”), reviewed the KPMG methodology and its application of tests and procedures to ensure that it had been applied in an even-handed manner to both banks. ELA reviewed the KPMG due-diligence report and determined that the valuation of the loan portfolio performed by KPMG for both banks had been conducted on a reasonable and fair basis. ELA also projected that the additional capital contribution by CapGen of $27.5 million to the combined banks should be sufficient to qualify for a “well-capitalized” capital status for the surviving bank and that without the infusion of this amount of capital, the regulatory approval of the merger was unlikely.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with its review of the Ewing report, the ABI board discussed and considered various strategic options for ABI, as follows:

Maintain Existing Operations (Status Quo).   In view of the significant capital requirements of ABI’s regulators resulting from their examinations of ABI, and as reflected in the Consent Order entered into by ABI with the FDIC and the OFR (effective as of January 7, 2010), the ABI board agreed that a “status quo” strategy was not a viable option to consider.

Raise $15,000,000 in Equity Capital.   While Kendrick Pierce indicated they believed that a significant percentage of an offering could successfully be sold, Ewing questioned the likelihood of a successful offering in view of the current adverse market for the shares of small community banks and the increasing amount of ABI’s nonperforming assets and the relatively small equity of ABI. While public offerings of large bank holding companies have been accepted by the markets, the illiquidity of the markets for the share of smaller community banks is a major deterrent to their success. Ewing pointed out to ABI’s board of directors that the certainty of a successful stock offering was very low, that it would take several months, and that an extension of time from the current regulatory orders would be required. ABI’s board of directors had no assurance that the regulators would grant any extensions and, if so, under what conditions. After discussion, ABI’s board of directors elected not to pursue this option.

Merge With Another Bank.   Ewing believed that it would be very difficult and unlikely that ABI, in a merger, could merge with a bank other than JBI that would meet regulatory requirements and that would offer terms more favorable to ABI shareholders than those of the proposed JBI/CapGen transaction. The ABI board noted that two other banks had initially expressed an interest in an acquisition of Oceanside Bank, but ultimately determined not to make a formal offer.

Merge with JBI with an Infusion of $27,500,000 in Equity by CapGen.   Ewing observed that a merger of the two companies would create a $750 million bank with nine offices in metro-Jacksonville, and the bank would be the second largest community bank based in Northeast Florida. The operations of the two companies complemented each other as Oceanside Bank featured retail banking and Jacksonville Bank, commercial banking. Significant reductions of noninterest expense would be created by the merger, more products and services would be available for their combined customers, the resulting bank would have the ability to make larger loans, and the combined banks would have greater access to capital in future years.

Negotiations continued with JBI through the first four months of 2010, during which period the asset quality of both Oceanside Bank and Jacksonville Bank deteriorated further. The parties determined that JBI should increase the amount of capital raised by $2.5 million to a total of $30 million and CapGen agreed to provide an investment of approximately $20 million, with other accredited investors agreeing to invest an aggregate of approximately $10 million. As a result of these continued negotiations, a pro forma ownership of the combined entities after the investment by CapGen and the other accredited investors developed to be as follows:

   
Shareholders   Pro Forma
Shares
  Percent of
Pro Forma
Total
ABI     249,503       5 %  
JBI     1,749,387       35 %  
CapGen     1,960,144       39 %  
Other Institutions     1,039,856       21 %  
Total     4,998,890       100 %  

Effective January 7, 2010, Oceanside Bank became subject to a Consent Order which, among other things, required it to significantly increase its capital levels.

On January 22, 2010, at a meeting of the ABI board of directors, Mr. Glisson advised that Ewing was prepared to orally report on the status of its fairness opinion; such presentation was ultimately made on January 27, 2010. Mr. Chandler advised that JBI would shortly circulate a draft merger agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Through January and February 2010, JBI’s and CapGen’s due diligence review of ABI and Oceanside Bank continued. During this time, JBI and CapGen reviewed ABI’s estimated financial results for the fourth quarter and expressed concern regarding ABI’s financial condition. On February 8, 2010, JBI engaged a valuation firm to conduct a fair value analysis at ABI’s offices. In early March, KPMG conducted a second loan review at ABI’s offices.

Also in January and February 2010 and through the spring, attorneys for ABI, JBI and CapGen began preparing, circulating and negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement and the stock purchase agreement to be entered into among JBI, CapGen and the other investors.

At a March 12, 2010 ABI board meeting, Mr. Chandler discussed his preliminary investigation of alternative sources of capital potentially available to ABI if the merger with JBI was not consummated. (Through early April, Mr. Chandler continued to have meetings with investment bankers concerning possible capital alternatives in the event negotiations with JBI and CapGen failed.) Also at that meeting, Mr. Glisson reported to the ABI board that JBI and CapGen now proposed valuing ABI stock at $2.00 per share. ABI’s board of directors instructed Mr. Glisson to contact JBI management to negotiate a higher valuation.

On March 19, 2010, ABI Chief Financial Officer David L. Young concluded his investigation into the evaluation of the United States Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Capital Initiative Program. In consultation with consultants T. Stephen Johnson and Associates, Inc., Mr. Young concluded that Oceanside Bank’s market area and branch locations would preclude Oceanside Bank from qualification for this program.

On April 2, 2010, ABI’s board of directors met to discuss a revised proposal from JBI and CapGen. Under this proposal, ABI stock would be valued at $2.00 per share and JBI’s stock would be valued at $10.00 per share. If Oceanside Bank was able to sell certain assets related to the “Via Mare” loan prior to closing, the cash proceeds would be distributed to ABI’s shareholders. At that time, ABI’s board of directors estimated that such payment could be as high as $0.65 per share. (These assets were ultimately sold on June 30, 2010 for $700,000 which was estimated at approximately $0.56112 per common share.) At this time, and again on April 23, 2010, the ABI board of directors unanimously approved accepting the proposal, pending negotiation of definitive transaction documents.

At a meeting of the ABI board of directors on May 5, 2010, the board again reviewed the factors in favor and against the proposed merger and investment with JBI and CapGen, and Ewing delivered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated the same date, that the terms of the proposed Merger with JBI were fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of ABI. Following the discussion and delivery of the fairness opinion, the ABI board approved the terms of a Merger Agreement, whereby the shareholders of ABI would receive 0.2 shares of JBI for each ABI share plus a contingent cash payment in the event of a sale by Oceanside Bank of certain of its assets.

On May 10, 2010, the parties executed and delivered the Merger Agreement.

On August 25, 2010, ABI received a letter from JBI stating that the relevant regulatory authorities had “tentatively agreed to approve the Merger Agreement conditioned upon the sale of an additional $5 million in [JBI] common stock for a total of $35 million” in new capital for the combined company. The letter continued to state that JBI consulted with the Investors who are parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and that the Investors indicated that they “are willing to invest an additional $5 million. However, in order for them to achieve a comparable return to what they now expect, the purchase price ... would be lowered to $9 per share.”

On August 27, 2010, ABI’s board of directors met to discuss the letter from JBI. ABI’s board noted that decreasing the price paid by the Investors for shares of JBI common stock would serve to proportionately reduce the value of the shares of JBI common stock to be received by ABI’s shareholders as part of the Merger consideration. ABI’s board also noted its belief that since entering into the Merger Agreement on May 10, 2010, ABI’s condition had improved relative to JBI’s condition. Based on that belief and ABI’s board’s unchanged opinion that the Merger was in ABI’s shareholders best interests, ABI’s board of directors authorized its Chairman to execute an amendment to the Merger Agreement that: (i) contemplated the reduction from $10.00 per share of JBI common stock to $9.00 per share of JBI common stock for the price

to be paid by the Investors pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement; and (ii) increased the cash component of the Merger consideration by approximately $0.11 per share, to $0.67 per share. Subsequently, ABI’s Chairman communicated this counteroffer to JBI’s Chief Executive Officer.

On August 31, 2010, JBI informed ABI that JBI’s board of directors would accept ABI’s counteroffer, subject to approval by the Investors and their agreement to bear the financial cost of the increase in the cash component of the Merger consideration. Later that day, JBI informed ABI that the Investors were agreeable to the terms of the counteroffer, except that one of the Investors was unwilling to bear any increased financial cost. Each other Investor, however, agreed to sufficiently increase its share of the increased cash Merger consideration, on a pro rata basis, to provide the additional approximately $0.11 per share to ABI’s shareholders.

On September 20, 2010, JBI and ABI executed an amendment to the Merger Agreement, which contained the substantive provisions of ABI’s counteroffer.

ABI’s Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of ABI’s Board of Directors

ABI’s board of directors evaluated the financial, market and other considerations bearing on the decision to adopt and recommend to its shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. The terms of the Merger are a result of arms-length negotiations between the representatives of ABI and JBI. In reaching its conclusion that the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of ABI and its shareholders, the ABI board of directors carefully considered the following material factors:

the consideration to be received in the proposed Merger, including the likelihood that ABI shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the receipt of JBI common stock in the Merger;
a comparison of the terms of the proposed Merger with comparable transactions;
information concerning the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of ABI and JBI;
competitive factors and trends towards consolidation in the banking industry;
the review by the ABI board of directors with its legal and financial advisors of the provisions of the Merger Agreement;
the opinion rendered by Allen C. Ewing & Co. to the ABI board of directors that, based upon and subject to various matters set forth in its opinion, the terms of the Merger Agreement were fair, from a financial point of view, to ABI’s shareholders;
alternatives to the Merger, including continuing to operate ABI as an independent banking organization; and
the value to be received by the ABI shareholders in the Merger in relation to the historical book value, earnings and dividends per share of ABI common stock.

The ABI board of directors believes that by becoming part of a larger organization with greater resources, ABI shareholders will enjoy greater long-term appreciation of their investment and that ABI will be able to operate with greater efficiency, serve its customers and communities better and provide a broad array of services that will be more competitive in North Florida.

While each member of the ABI board of directors individually considered the foregoing and other factors, the board did not collectively assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered and did not make any determination with respect to any individual factor. The ABI board of directors collectively made its determination with respect to the Merger Agreement based on the conclusions reached by its members, in light of the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of ABI’s shareholders.

ABI’s board unanimously recommends that ABI shareholders vote “ FOR ” the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

JBI’s Reasons for the Merger

JBI’s board of directors concluded that the Merger is in the best interests of JBI and its shareholders. In deciding to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and to approve the Merger, JBI’s board of directors considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

management’s view that the Merger with ABI provides an attractive opportunity to expand JBI’s current operations in the greater Jacksonville area;
management’s view that the employees of Oceanside Bank add significant skills to the combined organization;
ABI’s community banking orientation and its compatibility with JBI and Jacksonville Bank;
the effectiveness of the Merger as a method of implementing and accelerating JBI’s growth strategy and objectives;
the complementary fit of the businesses of JBI and ABI, which JBI’s management believes will enable the combined company to deliver improved services to customers to achieve stronger financial performance and enhance shareholder value;
management’s review of the business, operations, earnings, and financial condition of ABI, including capital levels and asset quality;
management’s belief that the combined company will be positioned to benefit from increased credit portfolio diversity and increased lending capacity; and
management’s view that the combined organization will have greater access to capital and growth opportunities through mergers and acquisitions.

While each member of the JBI’s board of directors individually considered the foregoing and other factors, the board did not collectively assign any specific or relative weights to the factors considered and did not make any determination with respect to any individual factor. JBI’s board of directors collectively made its determination with respect to the Merger Agreement based on the conclusions reached by its members, in light of the factors that each of them considered appropriate, that the Merger Agreement is in the best interests of JBI’s shareholders.

Opinion of Allen C. Ewing & Co.

In November 2009, Ewing was engaged by ABI to provide financial advisory services to ABI with regard to strategic options available to ABI. Upon reaching agreement with JBI concerning the terms of a merger, the ABI’s board of directors requested that Ewing determine if the terms of the proposed Merger were fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of ABI. Ewing is an independent investment bank serving the Southeastern United States that provides specialized corporate finance services to community financial institutions. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Ewing is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. ABI selected Ewing as its financial advisor based upon Ewing’s qualifications, expertise and reputation in these types of matters.

General

A shareholder should consider the following when reading the discussion of Ewing’s opinion and the methodology used in its analysis:

The summary of the opinion of Ewing set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion that is attached to this document. You should read the opinion in its entirety for a full discussion of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualification and limitation on the review undertaken by Ewing in connection with its opinion and its provisions pertaining to market conditions prior to the closing date of the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ewing’s opinion does not address the merits of the Merger relative to other business strategies, whether or not considered by ABI’s board of directors, nor does it address the decision by ABI’s board of directors to proceed with the Merger.
Ewing’s opinion to ABI’s board of directors rendered in connection with the Merger does not constitute a recommendation to any ABI shareholder as to how he or she should vote at the ABI Special Meeting.

The preparation of a financial fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. It is therefore not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In connection with rendering its opinion, Ewing performed a variety of financial analyses. Ewing believes that its analyses must be considered together as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the facts considered in its analyses, without considering all other factors and analyses, could create an incomplete or inaccurate view of the analyses and the process underlying the rendering of Ewing’s opinion.

In performing its analyses, Ewing made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of ABI and may not be realized. Any estimates contained in Ewing’s analyses are not necessarily predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than the estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which the companies or their securities may actually be sold. Except as described below, none of the analyses performed by Ewing was assigned a greater significance by Ewing than any other. The relative importance or weight given to these analyses by Ewing is not necessarily reflected by the order of presentation of the analyses herein (and the corresponding results). The summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables should be read together with the text of those summaries.

Ewing has relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of the information it reviewed for the purpose of rendering its opinion. Ewing did not undertake any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of ABI or JBI nor was it furnished with any appraisals.

Ewing’s opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions existing on the date of its opinion and on information as of various earlier dates made available to it which is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

In rendering its opinion, Ewing made the following assumptions:

that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and as a reorganization under §368(a) of the Code;
that all material governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Merger would be obtained without any adverse requirements of either ABI or JBI, or any adverse effects on the anticipated benefits of the Merger;
that ABI had provided it with all information that might be material to Ewing in its analysis; and
that the financial projections it reviewed were prepared on a basis reflecting the best available estimates and judgment of the management and directors of ABI as to the current and future operating and financial performance of ABI.

In arriving at its opinion, Ewing reviewed:

the Merger Agreement;
Oceanside Bank’s Consent Order and ABI’s written agreement with the Federal Reserve;
the audited financial statements of JBI for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009;
the audited financial statements of ABI for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009;
the unaudited financial statements of JBI for the quarter ended March 31, 2010;

the unaudited financial statements of ABI for the quarter ended March 31, 2010; and
the trading market for the common stock of JBI as to its volatility and price multiples.

In addition, Ewing conducted other analyses, inquiries and discussions as Ewing deemed appropriate.

Ewing also held discussions with members of management of JBI and ABI regarding the historical and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies.

Summary of Financial Analysis Performed by Ewing

The following paragraphs summarize portions of the financial analysis prepared by Ewing in arriving at its opinion. They do not purport to be a complete description of the analysis performed or the matters considered by Ewing in arriving at its opinion.

Background

In performing its analysis, Ewing made certain assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and market values. Ewing’s opinion is based upon the economic and market conditions that existed as of the date of the opinion as well as financial information as of earlier dates that was pertinent to its analysis. Ewing has relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by ABI in rendering its opinion, and Ewing did not perform independent valuations or appraisals of the assets and/or liabilities of ABI.

The Banking Market in 2009 – 2010

The national banking industry in 2009 – 2010 continued to experience the adverse trends that began in 2007 as a result of the collapse of the unsustainable hyper-growth rates of the economy from 2001 through 2006, which were created by low interest rates, deteriorating loan underwriting standards, and the market’s rejection of sub-prime loans. As a result, the U.S. economy experienced a systemic devaluation of asset values that devastated the net worth of individuals and the capital of U.S. banks. While economists have indicated that the recession technically ended in the third quarter of 2009, business activity continued to remain at very low levels in most industries through the first quarter of 2010.

The FDIC indicated that the 7,500 FDIC insured banking institutions incurred an aggregate loss in the second quarter of 2009 which has occurred only twice in the past 18 years. Charge-offs and nonperforming assets rose to record levels, and loan loss provisions increased from a typical 10% of operating revenues to over 40%. The FDIC “Problem Bank List” increased from 50 institutions at the beginning of 2007 to 416 as of June 30, 2009.

Bank stocks, along with the equity markets, reached their lows in the first quarter of 2009, although the prices of the shares of large banks have increased subsequently enabling them to raise the substantial amounts of new equity capital required by the regulators. This has not been the case for most community banks, whose shares lack the liquidity necessary to attract institutional and individual investor buying interest in new capital offerings. The FDIC “closed” 140 financial institutions in the United States in 2009, most of which were community banks located in high growth markets. The NASDAQ index of community bank stock prices located throughout the country, which had out performed the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ industrial averages for the 14 years, from 1992 – 2006, plunged sharply beginning in 2007. Bank stocks which had traded at 50% to 150% premiums over tangible book value prior to 2007 were trading at large discounts from tangible book value at December 31, 2009. M&A activity declined sharply in 2007 because of the sharp decline in asset values, equity, and stock prices of most community banks and the large operating losses of both acquirers and target banks.

Florida Banking

The State of Florida was one of the fastest growing markets in the country in the past decade, and like other growth markets such as Southern California, Arizona, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, it is overbuilt in every classification of real estate. In the 1970’s, real estate loans represented only 40% of the loan portfolios of Florida banks, but this percentage is currently over 80%, reflecting the high levels of real estate activity that has taken place.

47


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The major economic indicators reflect the deterioration of Florida’s economy and banking ratios since 2007. On average for the State’s banks, non-current loans/loans increased from 0.88% in 2007 to 5.80% as of December 31, 2009, tier one capital declined from 10.07% to 8.90%, net interest margin declined from 3.83% to 3.23%, and loss provisions grew 400%, from 0.26% to 1.17% of average assets.

In 2009, the FDIC closed 14 Florida-based banking institutions and there have been six closures in Florida through March 31, 2010. Florida bank regulators indicate that 38% of Florida’s 261 community banks are on their “watch list,” and M&A activity in Florida in 2010 will continue to be dominated by FDIC-assisted takeovers.

Prospective Changes In and The Outlook For Community Banking

Many changes have taken place in the community banking industry as a result of the recession and the asset quality crisis that are adversely affecting banks. They are: (i) higher regulatory requirements for capital, (ii) higher FDIC insurance premiums and compliance costs, and (iii) increasing economic pressure to increase the size of banks to achieve higher operating efficiencies and profitability. Capital adequacy and survival have become the operating priorities for most banks replacing the growth strategies of prior years.

Analysis of ABI

ABI’s deposits grew from $168 million as of December 31, 2005, to $258 million as of March 31, 2010, for a compound growth rate of 15% per year.

As of March 31, 2010, ABI had 1,247,516 shares of common stock outstanding with 594 shareholders, and equity capital of $9,273,000 having declined from $14,732,000 months earlier, a decline of 37%. ABI does not pay any dividends, does not have any goodwill or TARP preferred equity or any outstanding options or warrants. The stock of ABI was trading at $3.50 per share as of March 31, 2010, for a market cap of $4.4 million. The high for the stock for the past twelve months was $8.00 and the low was $3.02. ABI’s directors own approximately 14.5% of the shares and the stock has an average trading volume of 2,000 shares per day.

ABI’s continuing operations are subject to achieving compliance with the Consent Order entered into by ABI, which requirements should be satisfied upon consummation of the proposed Merger. Highlights of ABI’s financial statements as of March 31, 2010 were as follows:

As indicated by Table A, the large increase in loan loss provisions and foreclosure expenses reflect the sharp decline of real estate collateral values that resulted in a severe adverse effect on bank earnings beginning in 2008. ABI incurred cumulative pretax losses of over $11 million in 2008, 2009, and the first quarter of 2010, which reduced its equity capital to $9,273,000, as of March 31, 2010. As a result, ABI does not comply with the minimum capital ratios required by the regulators. Nonperforming assets increased to 8.68% of assets or $24,828,000, of which only $6,651,000 were covered by loan loss reserves (27%). The market for ABI shares reflected the concerns of ABI investors created by the losses and capital deficiencies of ABI as the stock, like the shares of many other community banks, traded at 53% discount from tangible book value.

As indicated by Table B, the large increase in loan loss provisions that began in 2008 reflected the sharp decline of real estate collateral values that resulted in a severe adverse effect on bank earnings beginning in 2008. While JBI has incurred cumulative losses of $2.2 million in 2008, 2009, and the first quarter of 2010, it has been able to essentially comply with regulatory capital requirements. However, JBI’s ability to grow is restricted by its capital, and the $30 million infusion by the Investors will allow JBI, post Merger, to expand its deposits and loans. Nonperforming assets increased to 6.21% of assets or $28,105,000 of which only $7,618,000 were covered by loan loss reserves (31%).

The market for JBI shares also reflected the concerns of JBI investors created by JBI’s losses and high level of nonperforming assets.

Other

The opinion expressed by Ewing was based upon market, economic and other relevant considerations as they existed as of the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the issuance of the opinion, including but not limited to, changes affecting the securities markets, the results of operations, or material changes in the assets or liabilities of JBI could materially affect the assumptions utilized in preparing the opinion.

Ewing received a total fee of $50,000 for its services in connection with the Merger and the rendering of the opinion. In addition, ABI has agreed to indemnify Ewing and its directors, officers, and employees from liability in connection with the transaction, and to hold Ewing harmless from any losses, actions, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities related to any of Ewing’s acts or decisions made in good faith and in the best interests of ABI.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to the issuance of Ewing’s opinion on May 5, 2010, two events occurred which resulted in a modification to JBI’s offer for the shares of ABI. The board of directors of ABI asked Ewing to review these events and the revised terms of the JBI offer to determine if they are fair to the ABI shareholders.

ABI was successful in selling the identified assets, which proceeds are to be distributed to the ABI shareholders as part of the consideration of the Merger. The net cash proceeds are approximately $700,000, or approximately $0.56 per ABI share.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On August 25, 2010, ABI received notice from JBI indicating that the regulators had tentatively agreed to approve the Merger provided an additional $5 million in new capital was invested in JBI shares which would increase the total new equity capital to be invested in JBI to $35 million. The letter indicated that the Investors were informed of the regulatory requirement and that they have agreed to provide the additional $5 million. However, in order for the Investors to achieve their expected return on invested capital, the purchase price for all of the shares to be purchased by them would be lowered from $10.00 per share to $9.00 per share. This will increase the number of shares to be purchased by the Investors from 3,000,000 shares as provided in the Merger Agreement, to 3,888,889 shares, and the total number of shares to be outstanding after the Merger and Stock Purchase from 4,998,890 to 5,887,779 shares.

The notice indicated that the JBI board of directors had met to consider the regulators’ new capital requirement and the proposed terms offered by the Investors if they were to fund the additional amount of $5 million. The JBI board of directors determined that the sale of the required additional shares to the Investors on the revised terms was in the best interest of JBI and it approved the revised terms offered by the Investors. Subsequently, the ABI board of directors met to discuss the regulators’ requirement and the revised terms, and the ABI board of directors approved the revised terms provided the amount of cash to be received by ABI shareholders was increased by $0.11 per share ($137,000) to $0.67 per share. The JBI board of directors and the Investors subsequently approved the increase as requested by the ABI board.

Analysis

In preparing this update of Ewing’s May 5, 2010 opinion, it was observed that the economy and the financial condition of the banking industry have not changed materially from the negative condition and trends that existed as of that date, and that ABI continues to be subject to the capital and operating requirements of the FDIC Consent Order of January 7, 2010.

The proposed increase in the number of shares to be acquired by the Investors will reduce the potential ownership of JBI shares by ABI shareholders from 4.99% to 4.24%. It is likely that the JBI shares after the Merger will initially trade at ±$9.00 per share rather than ±$10.00 per share, as pro forma book value per share will be reduced as a result of the reduction in price per share to the Investors, and the market will consider the $9.00 price for the $35 million investment in JBI shares by the Investors as an indicator of market value. However, the increased cash consideration to ABI of $0.11 per share will partially offset the anticipated reduction in the initial market price of JBI shares after the Merger as shown below:

Projected Value of the Consideration to be Paid to ABI Shareholders Prior to Reduced Price Per JBI Share

.2 x $10.00 + $.56 = $2.56 Per ABI Share

Projected Value of the Consideration to be Paid to ABI Shareholders after Proposed Revision in Price

.2 x $9.00 + $.67 = $2.47 Per ABI Share

The projected decline in the value of the consideration to ABI if the JBI shares trade at $9.00, rather than $10.00, will be $0.09 per share, or 3.5%.

Updated Opinion

In view of the fact that: (1) the $5 million in additional capital is being required by the regulators as a condition of their approval of the Merger; (2) that the economic conditions and factors on which Ewing’s May 5, 2010 opinion was based have not materially changed as of this date; and (3) that the indicated reduction in the consideration to be paid to ABI shareholders upon the closing of the Merger appears to be nominal, it is our opinion that the revised terms of the consideration to be paid to the ABI shareholders of .2 shares of JBI plus $0.67 per share for each ABI share are fair, from a financial point of view, to the ABI shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interests of ABI’s Directors and Executive Officers and ABI’s Affiliates in the Merger

Some of ABI’s executive officers and directors participated in negotiations of the Merger Agreement with JBI, and the ABI board of directors adopted the Merger Agreement and is recommending that ABI shareholders vote to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. In considering these facts and the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that ABI executive officers and directors have financial interests in the Merger besides being ABI shareholders. These interests include:

the appointment of one of ABI’s directors, currently anticipated to be Donald F. Glisson, Jr., to JBI’s board of directors;
employment by JBI Bank of the following executive officers of ABI following the Merger: Barry W. Chandler (Chief Executive Officer and President of ABI), David L. Young (Chief Financial Officer of ABI) and Grady R. Kearsey (Senior Loan Officer of ABI), effective upon the Merger;
payments offered by JBI to ABI directors and executive officers in connection with the termination of their salary continuation agreements;
employment or severance payments offered by JBI to the employees of Oceanside Bank; and
provisions in the Merger Agreement relating to director and officer liability insurance and the indemnification of ABI’s officers and directors for certain liabilities.

Board Positions

Upon completion of the Merger, JBI has agreed that one director of ABI, currently anticipated to be Donald F. Glisson, Jr., will be appointed to JBI’s board of directors.

ABI Employees

At the effective time of the Merger, JBI will offer employment or severance payments to all ABI and Oceanside Bank employees.

Payments in Connection with Termination of Salary Continuation Agreements

Under the Merger Agreement, ABI is required to terminate, among other agreements, its salary continuation agreements within 30 days prior to the closing of the Merger. Within 30 days following written notice to JBI of the termination of such agreements by ABI, JBI is required to make distributions to the executive officers and directors of ABI relating to the termination of their salary continuation agreements. Such payments by JBI to ABI’s current executive officers and directors will be approximately $1.4 million in the aggregate.

Indemnification and D & O Insurance

JBI has agreed to indemnify the directors and executive officers of ABI against all liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring upon or prior to the effective time of the Merger to the maximum extent permitted under the Florida law for a period concurrent with the applicable statute of limitations.

JBI has also agreed to provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the directors and officers of ABI for a period of four years after the effective time of the Merger with limits comparable to those contained in the policy maintained by ABI prior to the Merger, with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

This section summarizes the material anticipated federal income tax consequences of the Merger for ABI shareholders. This summary is based on the federal income tax laws now in effect. It does not take into account possible changes in these laws or interpretations, including amendments to applicable statutes or regulations or changes in judicial decisions or administrative rulings, some of which may have retroactive effect. This summary does not purport to address all aspects of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Merger and is not intended as tax advice to any person. This summary does not address the federal income tax consequences of the Merger to ABI shareholders in light of their particular circumstances or status

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(for example, as foreign persons, financial institutions or insurance companies, mutual funds, tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities, individuals who will acquire JBI common shares pursuant to the exercise or termination of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, among others), nor does this summary address any consequences of the Merger under any state, local, estate, gift, foreign, or other tax laws. This summary assumes that ABI shareholders hold their shares of ABI common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code.” You are urged to consult your own tax advisers as to the specific tax consequences of the Merger to you, including tax return reporting requirements, the application and effect of federal, foreign, state, local, and other tax laws, and the implications of any proposed changes in the tax laws .

The parties to the Merger have not required, and will not request, a federal income tax ruling from the IRS as to the tax consequences of the Merger. Instead, at the effective time of the Merger, McGuireWoods LLP, legal counsel to JBI, will render an opinion to JBI and ABI concerning the material federal income tax consequences of the proposed Merger under federal income tax law. The law firm will opine, based upon certain assumptions, including the assumptions that (i) the Merger is consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (ii) the factual statements and representations set forth in such opinion and the certificates obtained from the officers of JBI and ABI will be true, correct and complete through the effective time of the Merger, and (iii) JBI stock will constitute at least 40% of the total Merger consideration as of May 7, 2010 (the last business day preceding the execution of the Merger Agreement), the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Code Section 368(a), each of JBI and ABI will be party to such reorganization within the meaning of Code Section 368(b), neither JBI nor ABI will recognize gain or loss by reason of the Merger (except for amounts resulting from any required change in accounting methods and any income and deferred gain or loss recognized pursuant to Treasury regulations issued under Code Section 1502), and the exchange in the Merger of ABI common stock for JBI common stock will not give rise to gain or loss to the shareholders of ABI with respect to such exchange, except to the extent of any cash received. This opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, if a representation or assumption upon which such opinion is based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger could be adversely affected.

Assuming the Merger qualifies as a reorganization pursuant to Code Section 368(a), the shareholders of ABI will have the following federal income tax consequences:

the exchange in the Merger of ABI common stock for JBI common stock will not give rise to gain or loss to the shareholders of ABI with respect to such exchange (except to the extent of any cash received as discussed below);
the basis of the JBI common stock received by ABI shareholders in the Merger (including fractional shares deemed received and redeemed) will, in each instance, be the same as the basis of the ABI common stock surrendered in exchange therefor, (i) decreased by the cash received (other than cash received in lieu of a fractional share of JBI common stock) and (ii) increased by the gain recognized in the exchange (discussed below);
the holding period of the JBI common stock received by the ABI shareholders will, in each instance, include the period during which the ABI common stock surrendered in exchange therefor was held, provided that the ABI common stock was held as a capital asset on the date of the exchange;
the payment of cash to ABI shareholders as part of the Merger consideration may cause a shareholder to recognize gain (but not loss), but not in excess of the cash received;
the payment of cash to ABI shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of JBI common stock will be treated for federal income tax purposes as if the fractional shares were distributed as part of the exchange and then were redeemed by JBI (discussed below); it is anticipated that any gain or loss recognized upon such exchange will be capital gain or loss (rather than a dividend), provided the fractional share constitutes a capital asset in the hands of the exchanging shareholder;

54


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

subject to the conditions and limitations of the Code Section 302, a holder of ABI common stock who exercises statutory dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the Merger generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between such shareholder’s tax basis in the ABI common stock exchanged and the amount of cash received in exchange therefor; and
unless the exchange is deemed to have the effect of the distribution of a dividend, any gain or loss recognized by a holder of ABI common stock as a result of the Merger will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if such shareholder’s stock (i) constitutes a capital asset in the hands of the exchanging shareholder and (ii) has been held for more than one year at the effective time of the Merger.

Tax Consequences to ABI Shareholders for the Cash (Other than Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares) and JBI Common Stock Received as Merger consideration .  Assuming an ABI shareholder exchanges all of the shares of ABI common stock actually owned by the shareholder for both JBI common stock and cash, the shareholder will generally recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized ( i.e. , the excess of the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of the JBI common stock received pursuant to the Merger over the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shareholder’s shares of ABI common stock surrendered), and (ii) the amount of cash received pursuant to the Merger. For this purpose, gain or loss must be calculated separately for each identifiable block of shares surrendered in the exchange, and a loss realized on one block of shares may not be used to offset a gain realized on another block of shares. Any recognized gain will generally be long-term capital gain if the ABI shareholder’s holding period with respect to the ABI common stock surrendered is more than one year at the effective time of the Merger. If, however, the cash received has the effect of the distribution of a dividend, the gain will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the shareholder’s ratable share of accumulated earnings and profits as calculated for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend” below.

The aggregate tax basis of JBI common stock received (including fractional shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) by an ABI shareholder that exchanges the shareholder’s shares of ABI common stock for both JBI common stock and cash pursuant to the Merger will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of ABI common stock surrendered for JBI common stock and cash, reduced by the amount of cash received by the shareholder pursuant to the Merger (excluding any cash received instead of a fractional share of JBI common stock), and increased by the amount of gain including any portion of the gain that is treated as a dividend as described below (but excluding any gain or loss resulting from the deemed receipt and redemption of fractional shares described below), if any, recognized by the shareholder in the exchange. The holding period of the JBI common stock (including fractional shares deemed received and redeemed as described below) will include the holding period of the shares of ABI common stock surrendered.

Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share of JBI Common Stock.   An ABI shareholder who receives cash instead of a fractional share of JBI common stock will generally be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having received such cash in redemption of the fractional share. Gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received instead of the fractional share and the portion of the shareholder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of ABI common stock surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for such shares of ABI common stock is more than one year at the effective time of the Merger.

ABI Shareholders who Exercise Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal.   An ABI shareholder who exercises and perfects dissenter’s rights of appraisal generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the shareholder’s adjusted basis in the shares of ABI common stock surrendered, which gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the ABI common stock surrendered is more than one year at the effective time of the Merger. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If, however, the shareholder constructively owns shares of ABI common stock that are exchanged for shares of JBI common stock in the Merger or owns shares of JBI common stock actually or constructively after the Merger, the consequences to that shareholder may be similar to the consequences described above under the heading “Tax Consequences to ABI Shareholders for

55


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Cash (Other than Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares) and JBI Common Stock Received as Merger consideration,” except that the amount of consideration, if any, treated as a dividend may not be limited to the amount of that shareholder’s gain.

Possible Treatment of Cash as a Dividend .  In general, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares, the determination of whether the gain recognized in the exchange will be treated as capital gain or has the effect of a distribution of a dividend depends upon whether and to what extent the exchange reduces the shareholder’s deemed percentage stock ownership of JBI. For purposes of this determination, the shareholder is treated as if the shareholder first exchanged all of the shareholder’s shares of ABI common stock solely for JBI common stock and then JBI immediately redeemed (the “deemed redemption”) a portion of the JBI common stock in exchange for the cash the shareholder actually received. The gain recognized in the deemed redemption will be treated as a capital gain if the deemed redemption is (i) “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the shareholder or (ii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.”

The deemed redemption will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a shareholder if the percentage described in (ii) below is less than 80% of the percentage described in (i) below. Whether the deemed redemption is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a shareholder will depend upon the shareholder’s particular circumstances. At a minimum, however, for the deemed redemption to be “not essentially equivalent to a dividend,” the deemed redemption must result in a “meaningful reduction” in the shareholder’s deemed percentage stock ownership of JBI. In general, the determination requires a comparison of (i) the percentage of the outstanding stock of JBI that the shareholder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before the deemed redemption and (ii) the percentage of the outstanding stock of JBI that is actually and constructively owned by the shareholder immediately after the deemed redemption. In applying the above tests, a shareholder may, under the constructive ownership rules, be deemed to own stock that is owned by other persons or stock underlying a shareholder’s option to purchase in addition to the stock actually owned by the shareholder. As these rules are complex, each shareholder that may be subject to these rules should consult such shareholder’s tax advisor. The IRS has ruled that a relatively minor reduction in the stock ownership percentage of a minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is generally considered to have a “meaningful reduction” under the above analysis, thus resulting in capital gain (as opposed to dividend) treatment.

Separate Blocks of Stock .  In the case of an ABI shareholder that holds shares of ABI common stock with different tax bases and/or holding periods, the preceding rules must be applied to each identifiable block of ABI common stock.

Consequences if the Merger is a Taxable Transaction .  In the event that contrary to the tax opinion, the Merger did not qualify as a reorganization pursuant to Code Section 368(a) ( i.e., a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes), a shareholder of ABI common stock generally would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the value of the JBI common stock plus any cash received in the Merger and (ii) the shareholder’s adjusted basis in the shares of ABI common stock surrendered, which gain or loss generally would be long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the ABI common stock surrendered is more than one year at the effective time of the Merger. Such a shareholder’s initial tax basis in the JBI common stock received in the Merger would be equal to the fair market value of that stock at the effective time, and the holding period in such JBI common stock would begin on the day after the date of that exchange.

Further, if the Merger did not qualify as a reorganization pursuant to Code Section 368(a), ABI would be subject to tax on the deemed sale of its assets to JBI, with gain or loss for this purpose measured by the difference between ABI’s tax basis in its assets and the fair market value of the consideration deemed received therefor, or, in other words, the cash and shares of JBI common stock plus liabilities assumed in the Merger.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.   The payment of cash (including cash in lieu of a fractional share of JBI common stock) to a shareholder surrendering shares of ABI common stock will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding. Each ABI significant shareholder who receives JBI common stock in the Merger will be required to attach to such shareholder’s federal income tax return for the year of the Merger a complete statement of all facts pertinent to the non-recognition of gain,

56


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including the shareholder’s basis in the ABI common stock exchanged, and the number of shares of JBI common stock and cash received in exchange for ABI common stock. Each shareholder should also keep as part of such shareholder’s permanent records information necessary to establish such shareholder’s basis in, and holding period for, the JBI common stock received in the Merger.

Backup withholding applies at the rate of 28% of the cash payable to the shareholder, unless the shareholder furnishes such shareholder’s taxpayer identification number in the manner prescribed in applicable Treasury regulations, certifies that such number is correct, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and meets certain other conditions. Any amounts withheld from payments to a shareholder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against the shareholder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

JBI is required to account for the Merger as a purchase transaction under GAAP. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities (including executory contracts and other commitments) of ABI will be recorded, as of completion of the Merger, at their respective fair values and added to those of JBI. Any excess of purchase price over the net fair value of ABI’s assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill (excess purchase price). Financial statements and reported results of operations of JBI issued after completion of the Merger will reflect these values, but will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of ABI. The results of operations of ABI will be included in the results of operations of JBI following the effective time of the Merger.

Appraisal Rights of ABI Shareholders

Holders of ABI common stock as of the record date of the ABI Special Meeting are entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”). Pursuant to Section 607.1302 of the FBCA, an ABI shareholder who does not wish to accept the Merger consideration (0.2 shares of JBI common stock and $0.67 in cash per share of ABI common stock) to be received pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement may dissent from the Merger and elect to receive the fair value of the shareholder’s shares immediately prior to the completion of the Merger. Such fair value is exclusive of any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Merger, unless such exclusion would be inequitable to ABI and its remaining shareholders. If more than 5% of the outstanding shares of ABI common stock properly assert their dissenters’ rights of appraisal, then JBI will have the right to terminate the Merger Agreement.

In order to exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting shareholder of ABI must strictly comply with the statutory procedures of Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the FBCA, which are summarized below. A copy of the full text of those sections is included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. Shareholders of ABI are urged to read Annex B in its entirety and to consult with their legal advisers. Each shareholder of ABI who desires to assert such shareholder’s appraisal rights is cautioned that failure on the shareholder’s part to adhere strictly to the requirements of Florida law in any regard will cause a forfeiture of any appraisal rights.

Procedures for Exercising Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.   The following summary of Florida law is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable provisions of the FBCA included as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

57


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A dissenting shareholder, who desires to exercise such shareholder’s appraisal rights must deliver to ABI, prior to the taking of the vote on the Merger, a written notice of intent to demand payment for such shareholder’s shares if the Merger is effectuated. A vote against the Merger will not alone be deemed to be the written notice of intent to demand payment and will not be deemed to satisfy the notice requirements under the FBCA. A dissenting shareholder need not vote against the Merger, but cannot vote, or allow any nominee who holds such shares for the dissenting shareholder to vote, any of such shareholder’s ABI shares in favor of the Merger. A vote in favor of the Merger will constitute a waiver of the shareholder’s appraisal rights. The written notice of intent to demand payment should be delivered either in person or by mail (certified mail, return receipt requested, being the recommended form of transmittal) to:

Atlantic BancGroup, Inc.
1315 South Third Street
Jacksonville Beach, Florida 32250
Attention: David L. Young, Chief Financial Officer
Telephone: (904) 247-9494

All such notices must be signed in the same manner as the shares are registered on the books of ABI. If a shareholder has not provided written notice of intent to demand payment before the vote is taken at the ABI Special Meeting, the shareholder will be deemed to have waived the shareholder’s appraisal rights.

Within 10 days after the completion of the Merger, JBI must supply to each ABI shareholder who filed a notice of intent to demand payment for the shareholder’s shares a written appraisal notice and an appraisal election form that specifies, among other things:

the date of the completion of the Merger;
JBI’s estimate of the fair value of the ABI shares;
where to return the completed appraisal election form and the shareholder’s stock certificates, and the date by which they must be received by JBI or its agent, which date may not be fewer than 40 days nor more than 60 days after the date JBI sent the appraisal notice and appraisal election form to the shareholder; and
the date by which a notice from the shareholder of the shareholder’s desire to withdraw the shareholder’s appraisal election must be received by JBI, which date must be within 20 days after the date set for receipt by JBI of the appraisal election form from the shareholder.
The form must also contain JBI’s offer to pay to the shareholder the amount that JBI has estimated as the fair value of the ABI shares, and request certain information from the shareholder, including:
the shareholder’s name and address;
the number of shares as to which the shareholder is asserting appraisal rights;
that the shareholder did not vote for the Merger;
whether the shareholder accepts the offer of JBI to pay its estimate of the fair value of the ABI shares to the shareholder; and
if the shareholder does not accept the offer of JBI, the shareholder’s estimated fair value of the ABI shares and a demand for payment of the shareholder’s estimated value plus interest.

A dissenting shareholder must send the certificate(s) representing the shareholder’s shares with the appraisal election form. Any dissenting shareholder failing to return a properly completed appraisal election form and the shareholder’s stock certificates within the period stated in the form will lose such shareholder’s appraisal rights and be bound by the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Upon returning the appraisal election form, a dissenting shareholder shall be entitled only to payment pursuant to the procedure set forth in the applicable sections of the FBCA and shall not be entitled to vote or to exercise any other rights of a shareholder unless the dissenting shareholder withdraws such shareholder’s demand for appraisal within the time period specified in the appraisal election form.

58


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A dissenting shareholder who has delivered the appraisal election form and such shareholder’s stock certificates may decline to exercise appraisal rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by giving written notice to JBI within the time period specified in the appraisal election form. Thereafter, a dissenting shareholder may not withdraw from the appraisal process without the written consent of JBI. Upon a withdrawal, the right of the dissenting shareholder to be paid the fair value of such shareholder’s shares will cease, and the shareholder will be reinstated as a shareholder of JBI.

If the dissenting shareholder accepts the offer of JBI in the appraisal election form to pay JBI’s estimate of the fair value of the ABI shares, payment for the shares of the dissenting shareholder is to be made within 90 days after the receipt of the appraisal election form by JBI or its agent. Upon payment of the agreed value, the dissenting shareholder will cease to have any interest in such shares.

A shareholder must assert appraisal rights with respect to all of the shares registered in such shareholder’s name, except that a record shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all of the shares registered in the record shareholder’s name but which are owned by a beneficial shareholder, if the record shareholder objects with respect to all shares owned by the beneficial shareholder. A record shareholder must notify ABI in writing of the name and address of each beneficial shareholder on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. A beneficial shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to any shares held on behalf of the shareholder only if the shareholder submits to ABI the record shareholder’s written consent to the assertion of such rights before the date specified in the appraisal notice, and does so with respect to all shares that are beneficially owned by the beneficial shareholder.

Section 607.1330 of the FBCA addresses what should occur if a dissenting shareholder fails to accept the offer of JBI to pay the value of the shares as estimated by JBI and JBI fails to comply with the demand of the dissenting shareholder to pay the value of the shares as estimated by the dissenting shareholder, plus interest.

If a dissenting shareholder refuses to accept the offer of JBI to pay the value of the shares as estimated by JBI and JBI fails to comply with the demand of the dissenting shareholder to pay the value of the shares as estimated by the dissenting shareholder, plus interest, then within 60 days after receipt of a written demand from any dissenting shareholder given within 60 days after the date on which the Merger was effected, JBI shall, or at its election at any time within such period of 60 days may, file an action in any court of competent jurisdiction in Duval County, Florida requesting that the fair value of such shares be determined by the court.

If JBI fails to institute a proceeding within the above-prescribed period, any dissenting shareholder that has made a demand under Section 607.1326 of the FBCA may do so in the name of JBI. A copy of the initial pleading will be served on each dissenting shareholder who has made such a demand. JBI is required to pay each dissenting shareholder the amount found to be due within 10 days after final determination of the proceedings, which amount may, in the discretion of the court, include a fair rate of interest, which will also be determined by the court. Upon payment of the judgment, the dissenting shareholder ceases to have any interest in such shares.

Section 607.1331 of the Florida Statutes provides that the costs of a court appraisal proceeding, including reasonable compensation for, and expenses of, appraisers appointed by the court, shall be determined by the court and assessed against JBI, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenting shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent that the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to their appraisal rights. The court also may assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable, against (i) JBI and in favor of any or all dissenting shareholders if the court finds JBI did not substantially comply with the notification provisions set forth in Sections 607.1320 and 607.1322, or (ii) either JBI or a dissenting shareholder, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the appraisal rights. If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any dissenting shareholder were of substantial benefit to other dissenting shareholders, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against JBI, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenting shareholders who were benefited. To the extent that JBI fails to make a required payment when a dissenting shareholder accepts JBI’s offer to pay the value of the shares as estimated by JBI,

59


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the dissenting shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from JBI all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.

Any dissenting shareholder who perfects such shareholder’s right to be paid the fair value of the shareholder’s shares will recognize gain or loss, if any, for federal income tax purposes upon the receipt of cash for such shares. The amount of gain or loss and its character as ordinary or capital gain or loss will be determined in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code. See “The Merger — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE FLORIDA LAW RELATING
TO DISSENTERS’ APPRAISAL RIGHTS, ABI SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE CONSIDERING
EXERCISING APPRAISAL RIGHTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN LEGAL ADVISERS.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ABI UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT ITS
SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER AGREEMENT
AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following summary describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement. The provisions of the Merger Agreement are complicated and not easily summarized. This summary may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and the opinion of Allen C. Ewing & Co., ABI’s financial advisor, which are attached as Annex A and C, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read these documents carefully in their entirety for a more complete understanding of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is not intended to provide any factual information about either JBI or ABI. Such information can be found elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Summary of the Merger

The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of ABI with and into JBI, with JBI remaining as the surviving bank holding company. ABI and JBI will complete the Merger when all of the conditions to completion of the Merger contained in the Merger Agreement described in the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Completion of the Merger” are satisfied or waived, including approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the shareholders of ABI, and the approval of the Stock Purchase (as defined below) and the amendment and restatement of JBI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws by the shareholders of JBI. The Merger between ABI and JBI will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida. Immediately following the Merger, it is anticipated that JBI, as the surviving bank holding company, will merge Oceanside Bank with and into Jacksonville Bank, with Jacksonville Bank remaining as the surviving bank.

What You Will Receive in the Merger

If the Merger is completed, each share of ABI common stock held will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger consideration to be issued by JBI consisting of JBI common stock and cash. For each share of ABI common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, ABI shareholders will receive 0.2 shares of JBI common stock and $0.67 in cash.

JBI shareholders will receive nothing in the Merger. JBI shareholders will continue to hold the same number of shares of JBI common stock that they owned prior to the Merger.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of JBI common stock will be issued in connection with the Merger. Instead, JBI will make a cash payment without interest to each shareholder of ABI who would otherwise receive a fractional share. The amount of that cash payment will be determined by multiplying the fraction of a share of JBI common stock otherwise issuable to that shareholder by $9.00.

Dissenting Shares

Shares of common stock held by ABI shareholders who have properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights pursuant to Sections 607.1301 to 607.1333 of the FBCA, will not be converted or represent a right to receive the Merger consideration. Instead, these shares will be entitled to appraisal rights. See the description in the section entitled “The Merger — Appraisal Rights.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that ABI and JBI made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that ABI and JBI have exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. While ABI and JBI do not believe that these disclosure schedules contain information that securities laws require the parties to publicly disclose other than information that has already been so disclosed, they do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the date of the Merger Agreement and certain representations and warranties may have been modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. These disclosure schedules contain information that has been included in the companies’ general prior public disclosures, as well as additional non-public information. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the companies’ public disclosures.

ABI, in Article V of the Merger Agreement, has made representations and warranties to JBI customary for transactions of this nature that relate to, among other things:

organization and good standing;
authority to enter into the Merger Agreement;
capitalization, subsidiaries and financial statements;
undisclosed liabilities;
certain changes or events or failures since the balance sheet date which could have a material adverse effect on ABI or its subsidiaries, or cause a material breach or violation of any covenants and agreements;
tax matters, including but not limited to filing of tax returns, payment of taxes and tax liability;
assets, including but not limited to title and leases;
environmental matters, including but not limited to compliance with environmental laws and hazardous materials;
intellectual property, including but not limited to ownership, right to convey and pending or threatened litigation;
compliance with laws applicable to the business;
labor relations;
employee benefit plans;
pending and threatened litigation;
intellectual property;
data processing systems; and
reports filed with regulatory authorities.

JBI, in Article VI of the Merger Agreement, made representations and warranties to ABI customary for transactions of this nature that relate to, among other things:

organization and good standing;
authority to enter into the Merger Agreement;
capitalization, reports filed with regulatory authorities and financial statements;
undisclosed liabilities;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certain changes or events or failures since the balance sheet date which could have a material adverse effect on JBI or its subsidiaries, or cause a material breach or violation of any covenants and agreements;
compliance with laws applicable to the business or employees conducting the business;
pending and threatened litigation; and
tax and regulatory matters.

Generally, neither the representations and warranties of ABI nor JBI will survive the effective time of the Merger.

Stockholders Agreement

As required by the Merger Agreement, each member of the board of directors of ABI entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with JBI in his capacity as a shareholder of ABI. The Stockholders Agreement provides, among other things that each such shareholder:

will vote his shares of ABI common stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and Merger;
shall not and shall cause his affiliates not to directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, or provide any non-public information to, any person relating to or otherwise facilitate, any acquisition proposal other than the Merger Agreement;
shall not grant any proxy or power-of-attorney with respect to his shares of ABI common stock or transfer or agree to transfer any of his shares other than with JBI’s prior written consent; and
agrees not to exercise dissenters’ rights of appraisal as to any shares of his ABI common stock.

The Stockholders Agreement provides that each ABI director has the right to furnish information with respect to ABI to any person in connection with an acquisition proposal, or participate in negotiations with any person regarding an acquisition proposal, but only as permitted by Section 7.6 of the Merger Agreement. In addition, no ABI shareholder is prevented from presenting to the other shareholders of ABI an acquisition proposal presented by any person.

Waiver and Amendment

All of the conditions to completing the Merger may be waived at any time by the party for whose benefit they were created; provided, however, that the parties may not waive any condition that would result in the violation of any law or regulation. The parties amended the Merger Agreement on September 20, 2010, and this summary reflects the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended. The parties may further amend or supplement the Merger Agreement at any time by written agreement upon the approval of the boards of directors of each of ABI and JBI; provided, however, that after the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the shareholders of ABI, there shall be no amendment that requires further approval by the ABI shareholders without the further approval of the ABI shareholders.

Conduct of Business Before Completion of the Merger

Under the Merger Agreement, ABI and JBI have agreed that, until the earlier of the effective date of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement, unless the prior written consent of the other party has been obtained, they shall and shall cause each of their subsidiaries to conduct their businesses in the usual, regular and ordinary course consistent with past practice and prudent banking principles, preserve intact their business organization, goodwill, relationships and assets and maintain their rights and franchises and take no action that would adversely affect the ability of any party to obtain consents required for the transactions provided in the Merger Agreement or adversely affect the ability of any party to perform its covenants and agreements under the Merger Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABI Prohibited from Soliciting Other Offers

ABI, Oceanside Bank and their representatives were required to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions and negotiations with any person regarding any alternative acquisition proposal existing at the time the Merger Agreement was executed. In addition, ABI and Oceanside Bank and its representatives may not directly or indirectly:

solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal which constitutes, any alternative acquisition proposal;
enter into any letter of intent or agreement related to any alternative acquisition proposal other than a confidentiality agreement; or
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish information or take any other action knowingly to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or that would reasonably expected to lead to, any alternative acquisition proposal.

To the extent that, at any time before the ABI Special Meeting has occurred, ABI receives an acquisition proposal from any person that in the good faith judgment of the ABI board of directors is, or is reasonably likely to lead to the delivery of, a superior acquisition proposal to ABI shareholders, ABI may furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to itself pursuant to a confidentiality agreement and participate in negotiations with such person regarding such acquisition proposal, if ABI’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that failure to do so would likely result in a violation of its fiduciary duties.

by either JBI’s or ABI’s board of directors in the event that the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2010, if the failure to consummate the transactions provided for in the Merger Agreement is not caused by the breach of the party electing to terminate the Merger Agreement;

ABI must pay JBI a termination fee of $300,000 if any of the following circumstances occur:

Payment of Expenses Relating to the Merger

The parties will pay all of their own expenses related to negotiating and completing the Merger.

Exchange Procedures

At the effective time of the Merger, ABI’s shareholders who receive JBI common stock in the Merger will automatically become entitled to all the rights and privileges afforded to JBI’s shareholders. However, the actual physical exchange of ABI common stock certificates for JBI common stock certificates will occur after the Merger.

Promptly after completion of the Merger, JBI will cause Computershare, the exchange agent for the Merger, to mail to each record holder of ABI common stock (except those shares held by shareholders who have properly exercised and preserved dissenter’s appraisal rights pursuant to the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) and shares cancelled or extinguished) a letter of transmittal containing instructions for surrendering the record holder’s stock certificates. Those holders of ABI common stock who properly surrender their ABI stock certificates in accordance with Computershare’s instructions will receive (i) a certificate representing the number of shares of JBI common stock that the holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and (ii) a check or checks representing the amount of cash which such holder has the right to receive. The surrendered certificates representing ABI common stock will be cancelled. Immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, each certificate representing shares of ABI common stock that has not been surrendered will represent only the right to receive the Merger consideration and no transfers of ABI common stock will be made in ABI’s stock transfer books thereafter.

Holders of ABI common stock should not send in their ABI stock certificates until they receive a letter of transmittal from Computershare, the exchange agent for the Merger, with instructions for the surrender of their ABI stock certificates.

Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares

Holders of ABI common stock are not entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions on JBI common stock until the Merger is completed. Holders of ABI common stock will be entitled to dividends and other distributions declared or made, if any, after completion of the Merger with respect to the number of shares of JBI common stock which they are entitled to receive upon exchange of their ABI stock certificates, but they will not be paid any dividends or other distributions on the JBI common stock until they surrender their ABI stock certificates to Computershare in accordance with Computershare’s instructions.

Transfers of Ownership and Lost Stock Certificates

JBI will issue shares of JBI common stock that may be payable in a name other than the name in which a surrendered ABI stock certificate is registered only if the person requesting such exchange presents to Computershare all documents required to show and effect the unrecorded transfer of ownership and to show that such person paid any applicable stock transfer taxes. If an ABI stock certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the holder of such certificate may need to deliver an affidavit or bond prior to receiving the Merger consideration payable with respect to the shares represented by such certificate.

Appraisal Rights

Shares of common stock held by ABI shareholders who have properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights pursuant to the FBCA will not be converted or represent a right to receive the Merger consideration. Instead, these shares will be entitled to appraisal rights. See the description in the section entitled “The Merger — Appraisal Rights.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Regulatory and Other Required Approvals

Federal Reserve Board and Florida Office of Financial Regulation

The Federal Reserve Board must approve the Merger before it can be completed. JBI and ABI must then wait at least 15 days after the date of Federal Reserve Board approval before they may complete the Merger. During this waiting period, the United States Department of Justice may object to the Merger on antitrust grounds. The application for approval of the Merger with the Federal Reserve Board was filed on May 27, 2010. In reviewing that application, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the following:

competitive factors, such as whether the Merger will result in a monopoly or whether the benefits of the Merger to the public in meeting the needs and convenience of the community clearly outweigh the Merger’s anticompetitive effects or restraints on trade; and
banking and community factors, which include an evaluation of:
the financial and managerial resources of JBI, and of ABI, and the effect of the proposed transaction on these resources;
management expertise;
internal control and risk management systems;
the capital of JBI;
the convenience and needs of the communities to be served; and
the effectiveness of JBI and ABI in combating money laundering activities.

The application process requires publication of a notice in a local newspaper and opportunity for comment by the public. The Federal Reserve Board may receive, and must consider, properly filed comments and protests from community groups and others regarding (among other issues) each institution’s performance under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended.

The Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”) must also approve the Merger. An application for approval with the OFR was filed on June 16, 2010. The OFR procedures are compatible with the requirements of the Federal Reserve Board.

The FDIC must approve the merger of Oceanside Bank with and into Jacksonville Bank, which is anticipated to occur immediately following the Merger. An application for approval with the FDIC was filed on June 30, 2010.

In connection with or as a result of the Merger, JBI or ABI may be required, pursuant to other laws and regulations, either to notify or obtain the consent of other regulatory authorities and organizations to which such companies or subsidiaries of either or both of them may be subject. The JBI common stock to be issued in exchange for ABI common stock in the Merger will be registered with the SEC. The transaction also will be registered with such state securities regulators as may be required.

Also, in connection with the Stock Purchase and as a condition precedent to the Stock Purchase and the Merger, the lead Investor must become a bank holding company by application to, and approval by, the Federal Reserve Board.

Status and Effect of Approvals

To date, all regulatory applications and notices required to be filed prior to the Merger have been filed. JBI and ABI contemplate that they will complete the Merger in the fourth quarter of 2010, assuming all required approvals are received.

JBI and ABI believe that the proposed Merger is compatible with the regulatory requirements described in the preceding paragraphs; however, we cannot assure you that we will receive all required approvals, nor can we assure that we will be able to comply with any required conditions in respect of an approval or that compliance or noncompliance with any such conditions would not have adverse consequences for the combined company after the Merger.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While JBI and ABI believe that the requisite regulatory approvals for the Merger will be obtained, we can give you no assurance regarding the timing of the approvals, our ability to obtain the approvals on satisfactory terms or the absence of litigation challenging those approvals or otherwise. Similarly, we cannot assure you that the United States Department of Justice, any state attorney general or other regulatory authority will not attempt to challenge the Merger on antitrust grounds or for other reasons, or, if such a challenge is made, project the result thereof. The Merger is conditioned upon the receipt of all consents, approvals and actions of governmental authorities and the filing of all other notices with such authorities in respect of the Merger.

We are not aware of any regulatory approvals that would be required for completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement other than as described above. Should any other approvals be required, those approvals would be sought, but we cannot assure you that they will be obtained or that we would be able to comply with any conditions that might be imposed in respect of such approvals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

STOCK PURCHASE AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS

In connection with the proposed Merger, JBI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 10, 2010, as amended on September 20, 2010 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with four accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the purchase by the Investors of an aggregate of 3,888,889 shares of JBI’s common stock at a cash purchase price of $9.00 per share (the “Stock Purchase”), subject to the terms and conditions contained therein. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, CapGen Capital Group IV LP (“CapGen”) has committed to purchase approximately $24.2 million in shares of JBI common stock and JBI has agreed to nominate and appoint a designee of CapGen to JBI’s board of directors, currently anticipated to be John Sullivan. The Stock Purchase is conditioned upon, among other things, the JBI’s shareholders’ approval of the Stock Purchase, JBI’s amendment and restatement of its articles of incorporation and bylaws, the completion of the Merger and the merger of Oceanside Bank with and into Jacksonville Bank, and the Investors receiving all required regulatory consents. The Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by JBI or an Investor under certain circumstances, including that an Investor may terminate with respect to its investment if the closing of the Stock Purchase has not occurred by December 31, 2010. If the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated, CapGen may be entitled to a termination fee of $500,000.

Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investors have preemptive rights with respect to public or private offerings of JBI’s common stock (or rights to purchase, or securities convertible into or exercisable for, common stock) during a 24-month period after the completion of the Stock Purchase to enable the Investors to maintain their percentage interests of JBI’s common stock beneficially owned. Also under the Stock Purchase Agreement, JBI has agreed to conduct its business in the usual and ordinary course and is prohibited from taking certain actions without the prior written consent of CapGen, including, among others, (i) issuing additional shares of capital stock (with certain exceptions), (ii) making any material change in accounting methods or systems of internal controls, (iii) participating in certain related party transactions, (iv) changing its lending or other material banking policies, and (v) making or committing to make any capital expenditures in excess of $100,000 without prior approval from JBI’s board of directors.

The Merger is contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions to complete the Stock Purchase.

Also on May 10, 2010, JBI entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors pursuant to which JBI is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the JBI common shares to be issued to the Investors in the Stock Purchase by the earlier of (i) 30 days following the closing of the Stock Purchase, and (ii) two business days following JBI’s filing of audited or pro forma financial statements with the SEC to reflect the Merger, if required. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides Investors with demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights under certain circumstances.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the registration statement must generally be declared effective by the earlier of (i) 60 days following the filing date (or 120 days in the event the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC or additional financial statements reflecting the acquisition of ABI are required or requested by the SEC), and (ii) five business days after JBI is notified that the registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. In the event the registration statement is not filed by the filing deadline provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, or declared effective by the effectiveness deadline, subject to certain other conditions, JBI will be liable to the Investors for liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the purchase price paid for any JBI common stock held on such day, as more specifically provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which have been filed by JBI with the SEC.

ABOUT JBI

Business

General

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on October 24, 1997 for the purpose of organizing The Jacksonville Bank (“Jacksonville Bank”). JBI is a one-bank holding company owning 100% of the outstanding shares of Jacksonville Bank. JBI’s only business is the ownership and operation of Jacksonville Bank. Jacksonville Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. Jacksonville Bank opened for business on May 28, 1999 and currently provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals through its five offices in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida.

JBI offers a variety of competitive commercial and retail banking services. In order to compete with the financial institutions in the market, JBI uses its independent status to the fullest extent. This includes an emphasis on specialized services for small business owners with a particular focus on the medical and legal sectors. Additionally, JBI relies on the professional and personal relationships of its officers, directors and employees. Loan participations are arranged for customers whose loan demands exceed legal lending limits. JBI’s product lines include personal and business online banking and sweep accounts tied to Goldman Sachs proprietary funds, in addition to its traditional banking products. Furthermore, through Jacksonville Bank’s subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc., and JBI’s marketing agreement with New England Financial (an affiliate of MetLife), JBI is able to meet the investment and insurance needs of its customers.

Substantial consolidation of the Florida banking market has occurred since the early 1980’s. JBI believes that the number of depository institutions headquartered and operating in Florida will continue to decline. JBI’s marketing programs focus on the advantages of local ownership and management, personal service and customer relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on building personal face-to-face relationships. JBI’s management and business development teams have extensive experience with individuals and companies within JBI’s targeted market segments in the Jacksonville area. Based on JBI’s experience, JBI believes that it has been and will continue to be effective in gaining market share. Jacksonville Bank has five full-service branches in Jacksonville, currently employing 64 bankers. JBI is focused on small business, professionals and commercial real estate. Over the past four years, JBI’s board of directors has granted every employee (excluding executive officers) of Jacksonville Bank restricted stock.

Market Area and Competition

JBI’s primary market area is all of Duval County (primarily in the Southside, Westside, Arlington, Mandarin, Beaches and Downtown areas of Jacksonville). Jacksonville is the largest city in the United States covering 841 square miles and is a leading financial and insurance center. Jacksonville is home to the Jacksonville Jaguars and is the corporate headquarters to a number of regional and national companies. Duval County has a strong commercial and industrial base, which has been steadily expanding in recent years.

Financial institutions primarily compete with one another for deposits. In turn, a bank’s deposit base directly affects such bank’s loan activities and general growth. Primary competitive factors include interest rates on deposits and loans, service charges on deposit accounts, the availability of unique financial services products, a high level of personal service, and personal relationships between JBI’s officers and customers. JBI competes with financial institutions that have greater resources, and that may be able to offer more services, unique services, or possibly better terms to their customers. JBI believes, however, that it will be able to continue to attract sufficient loans and deposits to effectively compete with other area financial institutions.

JBI is in competition with existing area financial institutions, including commercial banks and savings institutions, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, brokerage houses, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, and other business entities which target traditional banking markets. JBI faces increased competition due to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), discussed under Regulation and Supervision, which allows insurance firms, securities firms, and other non-traditional financial companies to provide traditional banking services. JBI anticipates that significant competition will continue from existing

financial services providers, as well as new entrants to the market. There are 27 separate financial institutions located in Duval County, of which eight are considered community banks with their headquarters located in Duval County.

Funding Sources

Deposits .  JBI offers a wide range of deposit accounts, including commercial and retail checking, money market, individual retirement and statement savings accounts, and certificates of deposit with fixed rates and a range of maturity options. JBI’s sources of deposits are primarily residents, businesses, and employees of businesses within its market areas, obtained through personal solicitation by its officers and directors, direct mail solicitation, and advertisements published in the local media. JBI also has the ability to obtain deposits from the “national and brokered CD markets” as an additional source of funding. JBI pays competitive interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. In addition, JBI’s service charge schedule is competitive with other area financial institutions, covering such matters as maintenance and per item processing fees on deposit accounts and special handling charges. JBI is also part of the Star, Cirrus, Presto and Plus ATM networks, and a member of VISA.

Borrowings .  Additional sources of funds are available to Jacksonville Bank by borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank. JBI’s lending capacity with these institutions provides credit availability based on qualifying collateral from the investment and loan portfolios. See “Note 5-Deposits” and “Note 6-Short-term borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances” of the Notes to JBI’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 for further information on JBI’s funding sources.

Lending Activities

JBI’s board of directors has adopted certain policies and procedures to guide individual loan officers in carrying out lending functions. JBI’s board of directors has formed a Directors’ Loan Committee and appointed six directors to provide the following oversight:

ensure compliance with loan policies, procedures and guidelines as well as appropriate regulatory requirements;
approve secured loans above an aggregate amount of $500,000 and unsecured loans above an aggregate amount of $100,000 to any entity and/or related interests;
monitor overall loan quality through review of information relative to all new loans;
approve lending authority for individual officers;
monitor JBI’s loan review systems;
oversee strategies for workout of problem loan relationships;
review the adequacy of the loan loss reserve; and
approve any additional advances to any borrower whose loan or line of credit has been adversely classified substandard.

JBI’s board of directors realizes that occasionally loans need to be made which fall outside the typical policy guidelines. Consequently, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Credit Officer have the authority to make certain policy exceptions on secured loans up to $500,000 and unsecured loans up to $100,000. Policy exceptions on secured and unsecured loans greater than $500,000 and $100,000, respectively, must be approved by the Directors’ Loan Committee, and the full board of directors of JBI reviews reports of all loans and policy exceptions at its regular meetings. Additionally, Jacksonville Bank has an independent company that also evaluates the quality of loans and determines if loans are originated in accordance with the guidelines established by JBI’s board of directors.

JBI recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral, as well as general economic conditions. JBI intends to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, industry standards,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

management’s experience, historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. JBI follows a conservative lending policy, but one which permits prudent risks to assist businesses and consumers primarily in its principal market areas. Interest rates vary depending on JBI’s cost of funds, the loan maturity, the degree of risk and other loan terms. As appropriate, some interest rates are adjustable with fluctuations in the “prime” rate.

Jacksonville Bank’s nonperforming loans as a percentage of gross loans decreased from 3.27% at December 31, 2008 to 2.24% at December 31, 2009.

Commercial Real Estate .  Commercial real estate loans are typically segmented into three categories: owner occupied commercial properties, properties used by non-profit organizations (i.e., churches and schools) and commercial properties leased to third parties for investment purposes. Commercial real estate loans are secured by the subject property and are underwritten based upon standards set forth in the policies approved by JBI’s board of directors. Such standards include, among other factors, loan to value limits, cash flow coverage and general creditworthiness of the obligors.

Residential Real Estate .  Residential real estate loans include loans secured by first or second mortgages and home equity loans on one-to-four family residential properties. Loans in the residential real estate portfolio are underwritten in accordance with policies set forth and approved by JBI’s board of directors, including repayment capacity and source, value of the underlying property, credit history and stability.

Construction and Land Loans .  Jacksonville Bank provides construction permanent loans to borrowers to finance the construction of owner occupied and lease properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to commercial or residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate development and construction loans are approved based on an analysis of the borrower and guarantor, the viability of the project and are also based on an acceptable percentage of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Real estate development and construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed. Jacksonville Bank carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Development and construction loans are typically secured by the properties under development or construction, and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, Jacksonville Bank considers the market conditions and feasibility of proposed projects, the financial condition and reputation of the borrower and guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information. Jacksonville Bank also makes loans on occasion for the purchase of land for future development by the borrower. Land loans are extended for the future development for either commercial or residential use by the borrower. Jacksonville Bank carefully analyzes the intended use of the property and the viability thereof.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Commercial Loans .  Commercial loans are primarily underwritten on the basis of the borrowers’ ability to service such debt from income. As a general practice, JBI takes as collateral a security interest in any available real estate, equipment, or other chattel, although loans may also be made on an unsecured basis. Collateralized working capital loans typically are secured by short-term assets whereas long-term loans are primarily secured by long-term assets.

Other .  Consumer loans are extended for various purposes, including purchases of automobiles, recreational vehicles, and boats. JBI also offers home improvement loans, lines of credit, personal loans, and deposit account collateralized loans. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to ten years.

Investments

The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to develop a mixture of investments with maturities and compositions so as to earn an acceptable rate of return while meeting liquidity requirements. JBI invests primarily in obligations guaranteed by the U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies. JBI also enters into federal funds transactions through its principal correspondent banks. Investments with maturities in excess of one year are generally readily salable on the open market.

Data Processing

JBI currently has an agreement with FIS, formerly known as Metavante Corporation, to provide its core processing and to support certain customer products and delivery systems. JBI believes that FIS will continue to be able to provide state of the art data processing and customer service related processing at a competitive price to support its future growth.

Regulation and Supervision

JBI operates in a highly regulated environment, where statutes, regulations, and administrative policies govern its business activities. JBI is supervised by, examined by, and submit reports to, a number of regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and the Florida Department of Financial Services.

JBI is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act (“BHC Act”), which requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or all or substantially all of the assets of a bank, and before merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal Reserve Board, under its regulations and published policy statements, has maintained that a bank holding company must serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank(s). In adhering to the Federal Reserve Board policy, JBI may be required to provide financial support for Jacksonville Bank at a time when, absent such policy, JBI may not otherwise deem it advisable to provide such assistance.

At one time, a bank holding company was generally prohibited from acquiring control of any company which was not a bank and from engaging in any business other than the business of banking or managing and controlling banks. In April 1997, the Federal Reserve Board revised and expanded the list of permissible non-banking activities in which a bank holding company could engage; however, limitations continue to exist under certain laws and regulations. The GLB Act repeals certain regulations pertaining to bank holding companies and eliminates many of the previous prohibitions. Specifically, Title I of the GLB Act repeals Sections 20 and 32 of the Glass-Steagall Act and is intended to facilitate affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance firms, and other financial companies. To further this goal, the GLB Act amends Section 4 of the BHC Act to authorize bank holding companies that qualify as “financial holding companies” to engage in securities, insurance and other activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. The activities of bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies continue to be limited to activities authorized under the BHC Act, such as activities that the Federal Reserve Board previously has determined to be closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

With respect to expansion, Jacksonville Bank may establish branch offices anywhere within the State of Florida with regulatory approval. Jacksonville Bank is also subject to the Florida banking and usury laws limiting the amount of interest that can be charged when making loans or other extensions of credit. In addition, Jacksonville Bank, as a subsidiary of JBI, is subject to restrictions under federal law in dealing with JBI and other affiliates. These restrictions apply to extensions of credit to an affiliate, investments in the securities of an affiliate, and the purchase of assets from an affiliate.

The primary source of JBI’s income is expected to be dividends from Jacksonville Bank. A Florida state-chartered commercial bank may not pay cash dividends that would cause the bank’s capital to fall below the minimum amount required by federal or state law. Accordingly, commercial banks may only pay dividends out of the total of current net profits plus retained net profits of the preceding two years to the extent it deems expedient, except as follows. No bank may pay a dividend at any time that the total of net income for the current year when combined with retained net income from the preceding two years produces a loss. The future ability of Jacksonville Bank to pay dividends to JBI will also depend in part on the FDIC capital requirements in effect at such time and JBI’s ability to comply with such requirements.

Loans and extensions of credit by all banks are subject to legal lending limitations. Under state law, a state bank may generally grant unsecured loans and extensions of credit in an amount up to 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus to any person. In addition, a state bank may grant additional loans and extensions of credit to the same person of up to 10% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, provided that the transactions are fully secured. This 10% limitation is separate from, and in addition to, the 15% limitation for unsecured loans. Loans and extensions of credit may exceed these general lending limits only if they qualify under one of several exceptions.

JBI and Jacksonville Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have established risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks which make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles of various banking organizations. The capital adequacy guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board are applied to bank holding companies on a consolidated basis with the banks owned by the holding company. The FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines apply directly to state banks regardless of whether they are a subsidiary of a bank holding company. Both agencies’ requirements (which are substantially similar) provide that banking organizations must have minimum capital equivalent to 8% of risk-weighted assets to be considered adequately capitalized. The risk weights assigned to assets are based primarily on the perceived levels of risk to capital. For example, securities with an unconditional guarantee by the United States government are assigned the lowest risk weighting. A risk weight of 50% is assigned to loans secured by owner-occupied one-to-four family residential properties. The aggregate amount of assets assigned to each risk category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category to determine the weighted values, which are added together to determine total risk weighted assets.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) created and defined five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized), which are used to determine the nature of any corrective action the appropriate regulator may take in the event an institution reaches a given level of undercapitalization. For example, an institution which becomes undercapitalized must submit a capital restoration plan to the appropriate regulator outlining the steps it will take to become adequately capitalized. Upon approving the plan, the regulator will monitor the institution’s compliance. Before a capital restoration plan will be approved, an entity controlling a bank (i.e., the holding company) must guarantee compliance with the plan until the institution has been adequately capitalized for four consecutive calendar quarters. The liability of the holding company is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s total assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards. Further, in the event of the bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take priority over the parent’s general unsecured creditors. Undercapitalized institutions also will be restricted from paying management fees, dividends, and other capital distributions, will be subject to certain asset growth restrictions, and will be required to obtain prior approval from the appropriate regulator to open new branches or expand into new lines of business. As an institution drops to lower capital levels, the extent of action to be taken by

77


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the appropriate regulator increases, restricting the types of transactions in which the institution may engage and ultimately providing for the appointment of a receiver for certain institutions deemed to be critically undercapitalized.

The FDICIA also requires each federal banking agency to prescribe, and the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted, for all insured depository institutions and their holding companies, safety and soundness standards relating to such items as: internal controls, information and audit systems, asset quality, loan documentation, classified assets, credit underwriting, interest-rate risk exposure, asset growth, earnings, compensation, fees and benefits, valuation of publicly traded shares, and such other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Finally, each federal banking agency was required to prescribe standards for employment contracts and other compensation arrangements with executive officers, employees, directors, and principal shareholders of insured depository institutions that would prohibit compensation and benefits and other arrangements that are excessive or that could lead to a material financial loss. If an insured depository institution or its holding company fails to meet any of the standards described above, it will be required to submit to the appropriate federal banking agency a plan specifying the steps that will be taken to cure the deficiency. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable plan or fails to implement a plan, the appropriate federal banking agency will require the institution or holding company to correct the deficiency and, until corrected, may impose further restrictions on the institution or holding company, including any of the restrictions applicable under the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDICIA. Both the capital standards and the safety and soundness standards that the FDICIA implements were designed to bolster and protect the deposit insurance fund.

In response to the directives issued under the FDICIA, the regulators have adopted regulations that, among other things, prescribe the capital thresholds for each of five established capital categories. The following table reflects these capital thresholds:

     
  Total Risk-Based
Capital Ratio
  Tier 1 Risk-Based
Capital Ratio
  Tier 1
Leverage Ratio
Well capitalized (1)     10 %       6 %       5 %  
Adequately capitalized (1)     8 %       4 %       4 %  
Undercapitalized (3)     Less than 8 %       Less than 4 %       Less than 4 %  
Significantly undercapitalized     Less than 6 %       Less than 3 %       Less than 3 %  
Critically undercapitalized                 Less than 2 %  

(1) An institution must meet all three minimums.
(2) 3% for CAMELS composite 1 rated institutions, subject to appropriate federal banking agency guidelines.
(3) An institution falls into this category if it is below the adequately capitalized level for any of the three capital measures.

Under these capital categories, Jacksonville Bank is classified as well capitalized. At December 31, 2009, Jacksonville Bank’s total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were 11.08% and 9.83%, respectively. The Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.75% as of the same date. In addition to maintaining all capital levels at or above well-capitalized levels, Jacksonville Bank is committed to maintaining total risk-based capital at 10% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio above 8% at all times.

Under federal law and regulations and subject to certain exceptions, the addition or replacement of any director, or the employment, dismissal, or reassignment of a senior executive officer at any time that Jacksonville Bank is not in compliance with applicable minimum capital requirements, or otherwise in a troubled condition, or when the FDIC has determined that such prior notice is appropriate, is subject to prior notice to, and potential disapproval by, the FDIC.

Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and by the various bank regulatory agencies. Accordingly, the scope of regulation and permissible activities of JBI and Jacksonville Bank are subject to change by future federal and state legislation or regulation.

Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to JBI’s business, management believes after consultation with legal counsel that there are no pending legal proceedings against JBI or Jacksonville Bank that will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of JBI.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”) was incorporated on October 24, 1997 and was organized to conduct the operations of The Jacksonville Bank (“Jacksonville Bank”). Jacksonville Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business on May 28, 1999, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. Jacksonville Bank provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals in the greater Jacksonville area of Northeast Florida. During 2000, Jacksonville Bank formed Fountain Financial, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. The primary business activities of Fountain Financial, Inc. consist of the referral of Jacksonville Bank’s customers to third parties for the sale of insurance products. In 2010, Jacksonville Bank formed TJB Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary. The primary purpose of TJB Properties, LLC is to manage Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties.

Business Strategy

JBI’s primary business segment is community banking and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. JBI also invests in mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by the United States Government, and agencies thereof, as well as municipal tax-exempt bonds.

JBI’s goal is to sustain profitable, controlled growth by focusing on increasing its loan and deposit market share in the Northeast Florida market by developing new financial products, services and delivery channels; closely managing yields on earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities; focusing on noninterest income opportunities; controlling the growth of noninterest expenses; and maintaining strong asset quality. JBI has initiated programs to expand its scope of services and achieve these goals. Jacksonville Bank has adopted a philosophy of seeking out and retaining the best available personnel for positions of responsibility which JBI believes will provide it with a competitive edge in the local banking industry.

JBI’s operations are influenced by the local economic conditions and by policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. Fluctuations in interest rates, due to factors such as competing financial institutions as well as the Federal Reserve’s decisions on changes in interest rates, impact interest-earning assets and JBI’s cost of funds and, thus, its net interest margin. In addition, the local economy and real estate market of Northeast Florida and the demand for JBI’s products and loans impacts its margin. The local economy and viability of local businesses can also impact the ability of JBI’s customers to make payments on loans, thus impacting its loan portfolio. JBI evaluates these factors when valuing its allowance for loan losses. JBI also believes its underwriting procedures are relatively conservative and, as a result, JBI is not being any more affected than the overall market in the current economic downturn.

As more fully discussed herein, on May 10, 2010, JBI and ABI entered into the Merger Agreement providing for the Merger of ABI with and into JBI, which Merger Agreement was amended on September 20, 2010. The Merger Agreement also contemplates the consolidation of Oceanside Bank into Jacksonville Bank. Additionally, JBI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with four accredited investors led by CapGen Capital Group IV LP (“CapGen”) providing for $35 million in new capital through the sale of newly issued shares of JBI common stock subject to completion of the mergers.

Executive Overview

Total assets increased $13.4 million, or 3.1%, from $438.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $452.2 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, JBI experienced a net loan decrease of $10.2 million, or 2.7%. Increases in commercial loans of $1.3 million, or 5.5%, were offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans of $4.6 million, or 2.0%, residential real estate of $3.1 million, or 3.2%, and construction real estate of $1.7 million, or 5.3%. In addition, the allowance for loan loss increased by $1.4 million.

The following were significant factors related to 2009 results as compared to 2008. The 2009 performance is reflective of the successful execution of JBI’s strategy to focus on organic growth within the Northeast Florida market. During 2009, JBI’s total gross loans increased by $11.3 million, or 3.0%. JBI recorded growth in residential and commercial real estate loans offset by decreases in construction, land and commercial loans. During the year, residential real estate loans increased by $16.0 million, or 19.7%, and commercial real estate loans increased by $8.9 million, or 4.0%. Construction real estate loans decreased by $8.8 million, or 21.0%, and commercial loans decreased by $4.6 million, or 16.2%.

Total deposits increased $21.1 million, or 5.7%, from $370.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $391.7 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, money market, NOW and savings deposits increased $22.5 million to $127.3 million, time deposits increased $1.4 million to $223.5 million and noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.9 million to $40.8 million.

During 2009, total deposits increased by $25.1 million, or 7.3%, as compared to 2008. The following are changes in the deposit categories:

Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2.9 million, or 7.0%.
Money market, savings and NOW deposits increased by $17.1 million, or 19.5%.
The certificate of deposit portfolio increased by $5.2 million, or 2.4%. JBI’s management pursued local deposits more aggressively by offering competitive deposit products in an effort to attract core deposits and utilized the National and Brokered CD markets as an additional source of funding the asset growth.
Borrowed funds, consisting of FHLB advances, Federal Reserve borrowings, and subordinated debentures, totaled $60.6 million at year end 2008 compared to $39.8 million at the end of 2009. During 2009, JBI decreased its Federal Reserve borrowing by $26.0 million and increased its FHLB advances by $5.0 million.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $2.2 million from $27.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $25.0 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease is mainly attributable to a net loss of $2.0 million and a $383,000 net unrealized loss on a cash flow hedge derivative. Total shareholders’ equity increased $423,000, or 1.6%, during 2009. Management remains committed to retaining sufficient equity to protect shareholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth and fully comply with regulatory requirements.

At June 30, 2010, JBI had 8 million authorized shares of $.01 par value common stock, of which 1,750,437 shares were issued and 1,749,387 shares were outstanding. In addition, JBI had 2 million authorized shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding at June 30, 2010.

Basic average shares outstanding as of each six-month period ended June 30 was 1,749,140 in 2010, 1,748,429 in 2009 and 1,747,989 in 2008. The diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of each six-month period ended June 30 was 1,749,140 in 2010, 1,748,429 in 2009 and 1,747,989 in 2008.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $17.5 million from $5.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $23.1 million at June 30, 2010 due to an increase in federal funds sold of $16.5 million. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $3.3 million to $25.4 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, JBI purchased $2.0 million of U.S. government agency securities and $5.2 million GNMA CMO securities. In addition, JBI received $4.3 million in proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments.

The allowance for loan losses grew by $1.4 million during the first six months of 2010, amounting to $8.2 million at June 30, 2010, as compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2009. The allowance represented approximately 2.16% of total loans at June 30, 2010 and 1.75% at December 31, 2009. During the first six months of 2010, JBI had charge-offs of $3.0 million, recoveries of $61,000 and recorded a $4.3 million provision for loan losses compared to charge-offs of $1.3 million, recoveries of $2,000 and a provision for loan losses of $2.2 million for the first six months of 2009. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 1.24% at December 31, 2008. During 2009, JBI had charge-offs of $2.2 million, recoveries of $23,000 and recorded a provision for loan loss of $4.4 million, compared to charge-offs of $2.1 million, recoveries of $114,000 and provision for loan losses of $3.6 million in 2008.

JBI’s net loss and basic loss per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $992,000 and $(0.57), respectively. JBI’s net income was $76,000 in 2009 as compared to $35,000 in 2008. JBI’s diluted earnings per share was $0.04 in 2009 as compared to $0.02 in 2008. Return on average assets and return on equity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was (0.9)% and (15.2)%, respectively. Return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.02% and 0.28%, respectively, in 2009 compared to 0.01% and 0.13%, respectively, in 2008.

Interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 was $11.5 million while interest expense was $4.4 million, resulting in net interest income of $7.1 million for the period. The net interest margin was 3.3% for the six-month period which is a decline from the 3.4% margin reported for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. The decline was driven primarily by the restructuring of the balance sheet to create additional liquid assets as part of JBI’s strategy to reduce its dependence on wholesale funding sources. Interest income was $23.2 million in 2009 compared to $25.6 million in 2008, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 9.2%, as a result of the repricing of JBI’s assets in this low interest rate environment along with the impact of nonperforming assets. Interest expense was $9.7 million in 2009 compared to $13.6 million in 2008, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 28.3%, as a result of the low interest rate environment; this was offset somewhat by a transition from low-cost wholesale funding into a more expensive time deposit.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $534,000. Noninterest income was $841,000 for 2009 compared to $1.2 million in 2008. Included in noninterest income was a $132,000 loss on a nonmarketable equity security in 2009.

FHLB advances were $25.0 million at December 31, 2009 and $20.0 million at June 30, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of JBI’s financial condition and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective or complex have to do with the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, JBI’s primary critical accounting policy is the establishment and maintenance of an allowance for loan loss.

The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectability of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The level of the allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding, because either more or less allowance is required as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the amount of JBI’s credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management’s estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates, or the mix of loan types changes, the level of the provision for loan loss, and related allowance can, and will, fluctuate.

Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell the property, with any difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan being charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the assets at the time of transfer. Those subsequent changes, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to “Adoption of New Accounting Standards” contained in Note 1 to JBI’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 contained herein for information related to the adoption of new accounting standards and the effect of newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

The FDIC is an independent federal agency established originally to insure the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally insured banks and to preserve the safety and soundness of the banking industry. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities.

Jacksonville Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent permitted by law. Jacksonville Bank pays deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on a risk-based assessment system established by the FDIC for all insured institutions. Institutions considered well-capitalized and financially sound pay the lowest premiums, while those institutions that are less than adequately capitalized and of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premiums. During 2008, assessment rates for all insured institutions ranged from 5 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for well-capitalized institutions with minor supervisory concerns to 43 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concerns. In 2009, assessment rates are expected to range between 12 and 50 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for the first quarter and 8 and 77.5 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for the remainder of the year. The large premium increase is due to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) and the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, both of which increased the deposit insurance coverage available to Jacksonville Bank’s depositors.

In February 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (collectively, the “Reform Act”) were signed into law. The Reform Act revised the laws concerning federal deposit insurance by making the following changes: (i) merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new fund, the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”), effective March 31, 2006; (ii) increasing the deposit insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts to $250,000 effective April 1, 2006; (iii) beginning in 2010, deposit insurance coverage on individual accounts may be indexed for inflation; (iv) the FDIC will have more discretion in managing deposit insurance assessments; and (v) eligible institutions will receive a one-time initial assessment credit.

The Reform Act authorized the FDIC to revise the risk-based assessment system. Accordingly, insurance premiums are based on a number of factors, including the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the DIF. The Reform Act replaced the minimum reserve ratio of 1.25% with a range of between 1.15% and 1.50% for the DIF, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment rates at the end of each calendar year. In addition, the FDIC is no longer prohibited from charging banks in the lowest risk category when the reserve ratio premium is greater than 1.25%.

In November 2006, the FDIC adopted changes to its risk-based assessment system. Under the new system, the FDIC will evaluate an institution’s risk based on supervisory ratings for all insured institutions, financial ratios for most institutions and long-term debt issuer ratings for certain large institutions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In October 2008, the EESA was signed into law. The EESA temporarily revises the federal deposit insurance laws by increasing the basic deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. In May 2009, the FDIC extended the basic deposit insurance through December 31, 2013.

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC adopted an Amended Restoration Plan to allow the DIF to return to a reserve ratio of 1.15% within eight years. The FDIC amended its prior ruling on deposit assessments to require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. This prepaid assessment was collected in December 2009, along with each institution’s regular quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessment for the third quarter 2009. The FDIC also increased annual assessment rates uniformly by three basis points effective January 1, 2011. Additional special assessments may be imposed by the FDIC for future periods.

In order to promote financial stability in the economy, the FDIC adopted the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) on October 13, 2008. Participation in the program is voluntary; however, once participation is elected, it cannot be revoked. Jacksonville Bank elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program component of the TLGP. Under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, the FDIC will fully insure funds held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. Noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are ones that do not accrue or pay interest and for which the institution does not require an advance notice of withdrawal. Also covered are interest on lawyers’ trust accounts (IOLTA) and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts with interest rates lower than 50 basis points. These revisions are effective until June 30, 2010.

Securities

Securities within the securities portfolio are categorized as “held to maturity,” “available for sale,” or “trading.” Securities held to maturity represent those securities which Jacksonville Bank has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities available for sale represent those investments which may be sold for various reasons, including changes in interest rates and liquidity considerations. These securities are reported at fair market value and unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Trading securities are held primarily for resale and are recorded at their fair values. Gains or losses on trading securities are included immediately in earnings. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, Jacksonville Bank had no trading securities.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is substantially less than their average contractual terms due to prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on loans generally give JBI the right to declare a conventional loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells real property subject to a mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase, however, when current mortgage loan rates are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on existing mortgages are substantially higher than current mortgage loan rates.

Credit Risk

JBI’s primary business is making commercial, real estate, business and consumer loans. That activity entails potential loan losses, the magnitude of which depends on a variety of economic factors affecting borrowers which are beyond JBI’s control. While JBI has instituted underwriting guidelines and credit review procedures to protect it from avoidable credit losses, some losses will inevitably occur. At December 31, 2009, JBI had nonperforming loans of $8.7 million that were not accruing interest. In addition, JBI had net loan charge-offs totaling $2.2 million in 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest and generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. The following table sets forth certain information regarding nonaccrual loans, including the ratio of such loans to total assets as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

From time to time Jacksonville Bank may utilize an interest reserve for a borrower’s future interest payments to ensure the payments remain current through maturity. At December 31, 2009, JBI had $23,685 in loans where such reserves existed. Of this total, $17,106 was considered substandard. On all but $1,335 of total loans, the interest reserve was either funded fully by the borrower out of their own funds or was funded through a separate loan facility underwritten by separate collateral and cash flows.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management has adopted a methodology to properly analyze and determine an adequate loan loss allowance. The analysis is based on sound, reliable and well documented information and is designed to support an allowance that is adequate to absorb all estimated losses in JBI’s loan and lease portfolio.

Due to their similarities, JBI has grouped the loan portfolio into four components. The components are commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. JBI has created a loan classification system to properly calculate the allowance for loan losses. Loans are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the sale of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Jacksonville Bank’s policy is to obtain updated appraisals for all substandard loans secured by real estate on at least an annual basis. Real estate values in Jacksonville Bank’s market area have experienced deterioration over the last several quarters, and the expectation is for further deterioration in certain property types in the immediate future. On a quarterly basis, management reviews several factors, including underlying collateral, and will write down impaired loans to the net realizable value.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In estimating the overall exposure to loss on impaired loans, JBI has considered a number of factors, including the borrower’s character, overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors and the realizable value of any collateral.

JBI also considers other internal and external factors when determining the allowance for loan losses. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions, commercial lending staff limitations, impact from lengthy commercial loan workout and charge-off period, loan portfolio concentrations and trends in the loan portfolio.

Bank regulators have issued “Joint Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending.” This document outlines regulators’ concerns regarding the high level of growth in commercial real estate loans on banks’ balance sheets. Many banks, especially those in Florida, have seen a substantial increase in exposure to commercial real estate loans. The concentration in this category is considered when analyzing the adequacy of the loan loss allowance based on sound, reliable and well documented information.

Senior management reviews this calculation and the underlying assumptions on a routine basis not less frequently than quarterly. Based on the results of the analysis performed by management at June 30, 2010, the allowance for loan loss is considered to be appropriate to absorb estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. As more fully discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the process for estimating credit losses and determining the allowance for loan losses as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The amount of future charge-offs and provisions for loan losses could be affected by, among other things, economic conditions in Jacksonville, Florida, and the surrounding communities. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of JBI’s borrowers and the value of real estate collateral securing the JBI’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 93% of JBI’s total loans outstanding at June 30, 2010. Economic conditions in Jacksonville have deteriorated over the last several quarters, resulting in a softening of real estate values. Conditions and values could deteriorate further in the future, and such deterioration could be substantial. If this were to occur, some of JBI’s borrowers may be unable to make the required contractual payments on their loans, and JBI may be unable to realize the full carrying value of such loans through foreclosure. JBI is unable to determine at this time the effect of such an occurrence on the JBI’s financial condition and results of operations; however, management believes that JBI should not be any more affected than the overall market.

Future provisions and charge-offs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing JBI’s mortgage loans. Under JBI’s current policy, an environmental audit is required on the majority of all commercial-type properties that are considered for a mortgage loan. At the present time, JBI is not aware of any existing loans in the portfolio where there is environmental pollution existing on the mortgaged properties that would materially affect the value of the portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses grew by $1.4 million during the first six months of 2010, amounting to $8.2 million at June 30, 2010, as compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2009. The allowance represented approximately 2.16% of total loans at June 30, 2010 and 1.75% at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $4.7 million at December 31, 2008. During the first six months of 2010, JBI had charge-offs of $3.0 million, recoveries of $61,000 and recorded a $4.3 million provision for loan losses compared to charge-offs of $1.3 million, recoveries of $2,000 and a provision for loan losses of $2.2 million for the first six months of 2009. The larger provision for loan losses in 2010 was driven primarily by the charge-off of several loans graded as substandard. Additionally, the worsening economic conditions, coupled with the continued softness in the residential real estate market and the growing softness in the commercial real estate market, along with Jacksonville Bank’s concentration in collateral dependent real estate loans, were considered when determining the appropriate level of loan loss reserves in the first six months of 2010.

Impaired loans were $21.9 million as of June 30, 2010; of this amount, $1.2 million was specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses which is deemed appropriate to absorb probable losses. Jacksonville Bank has experienced an increase in adversely classified loans from $28.9 million at December 31, 2008 to $44.8 million at December 31, 2009. Of this amount, $22.5 million is listed as impaired. Nonperforming loans

as a percentage of total loans were 2.24% at December 31, 2009, compared to 3.28% at December 31, 2008. All adversely classified loans are monitored closely and the majority of these loans are collateralized by real estate. Management has analyzed its collateral position and is comfortable that the loan loss reserve at December 31, 2009 is appropriate.

Loans past due 30-89 days still accruing interest was $5,308 at December 31, 2009, compared to $1,797 at December 31, 2008. The increase in loans past due 30-89 days still accruing interest was driven primarily by one loan in the amount of $2.9 million.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

General.   In addition to deposits, the sources of funds available for lending and other business purposes include loan repayments, loan sales, FHLB advances, Federal Reserve borrowings, federal funds purchased lines of credit, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are influenced significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions in other sources, such as deposits, or due to favorable differentials in rates and other costs.

Deposits.   Deposits are attracted principally from JBI’s primary geographic market areas in Duval County, Florida. Jacksonville Bank also enhanced its geographical diversity by offering certificates of deposits through brokered markets and nationally to other financial institutions. In August 2009, JBI launched its “Virtual Branch” to attract deposits from other geographic market areas. Jacksonville Bank offers a broad selection of deposit products, including demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans (such as IRAs). Certificate of deposit rates are set to encourage maturities based on current market conditions. Deposit account terms vary, with the primary differences being the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit, and the associated interest rates. JBI holds quarterly Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings, comprised of members of its board of directors and management. In addition, pricing meetings are held by members of management on a monthly basis or more frequently if economic conditions dictate. Jacksonville Bank emphasizes commercial banking and small business relationships in an effort to increase demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

JBI’s primary sources of cash are deposit growth, maturities and amortization of investment securities, FHLB advances, Federal Reserve Bank borrowings and federal funds purchased. JBI uses cash from these and other sources to fund loan growth. Any remaining cash is used primarily to reduce borrowings and to purchase investment securities. During the first six months of 2010, JBI’s cash and cash equivalent position increased by $17.5 million. The increase in cash mainly resulted from an increase in deposit accounts of approximately $21.1 million from $370.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $391.7 million at June 30, 2010, offset by net loan payments of $3.4 million.

Jacksonville Bank’s liquidity is its ability to maintain a steady flow of funds to support its ongoing operating, investing and financing activities. Jacksonville Bank’s board of directors establishes policies and analyzes and manages liquidity to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. Liquidity management is viewed from a long-term and a short-term perspective as well as from an asset and liability management perspective. JBI monitors liquidity through a regular review of loan and deposit maturities and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk.

JBI has both internal and external sources of near-term liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The primary internal sources of liquidity are principal and interest payments on loans; proceeds from maturities and monthly payments on the balance of the investment securities portfolio; and its overnight position with federal funds sold. At June 30, 2010, JBI had $25.4 million in available-for-sale securities, $7.3 million of which was pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank for the Borrower in Custody Program.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

JBI’s primary external sources of liquidity are customer deposits and borrowings from other commercial banks. JBI’s deposit base consists of both deposits from businesses and consumers in its local market as well as national market and brokered certificates of deposit. JBI can also borrow overnight federal funds and fixed-rate term products under credit facilities established with the FHLB, Federal Reserve Discount Window and other commercial banks. These lines, in the aggregate amount of approximately $109.4 million, do not represent legal commitments to extend credit.

Jacksonville Bank has an unsecured federal funds purchased accommodation with its main correspondent bank totaling $5.3 million at December 31, 2009; $5.1 million was available as of that date. In addition, Jacksonville Bank has invested in FHLB stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with FHLB. This line is collateralized by a lien arrangement on Jacksonville Bank’s first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans. Based on this collateral and Jacksonville Bank’s holdings of FHLB stock, Jacksonville Bank had a line of credit availability of $68.3 million from this credit line, of which it had borrowed $25.0 million at December 31, 2009. Additionally, Jacksonville Bank has a “Borrower in Custody” line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank utilizing excess collateral and pledging $5.7 million in municipal securities. The amount of this line at December 31, 2009 was $29.8 million, all of which was available at that date. In addition, Jacksonville Bank had available credit lines with other correspondent banks totaling $9.7 million.

Additionally, Jacksonville Bank has access to the national and brokered deposit markets to supplement liquidity needs. At December 31, 2009, Jacksonville Bank had $65.9 million in national and $35.7 million in brokered CD’s.

Scheduled maturities and paydowns of the JBI’s investment securities are an additional source of liquidity. During 2009, JBI had received approximately $12.1 million from maturities, paydowns and calls of investment securities. Jacksonville Bank also has the ability to convert marketable securities into cash or access new or existing sources of incremental funds if the need should arise.

At December 31, 2009, Jacksonville Bank had outstanding commitments to borrowers for available lines of credit and standby letters of credit totaling $25.5 million and $560,000, respectively. Based on the sources of liquidity discussed above, JBI believes that it has access to sufficient funds to cover such commitments, should the need arise.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Jacksonville Bank is required to meet certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Jacksonville Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

JBI’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that meet regulatory standards. Under current regulatory capital standards, banks are classified as well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well-capitalized bank is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. JBI’s management and its board of directors have committed to maintain total risk-based capital at 10% and Tier 1 capital to average assets at 8% at Jacksonville Bank and JBI. If the capital ratios of JBI and Jacksonville Bank were to fall below levels required under regulatory standards, it is their policy to increase capital in an amount sufficient to meet regulatory requirements within 30 days. Jacksonville Bank’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 11.04%, 9.78% and 8.27%, respectively, at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, JBI and Jacksonville Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

JBI has included in Tier 1 capital and total capital a portion of the trust preferred securities that were issued in June 2004, December 2006 and June 2008.

JBI has included in Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital a portion of the trust preferred securities that were issued in June 2004, December 2006 and June 2008.

Under Federal Reserve policy, JBI is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, Jacksonville Bank. Management actively manages capital levels in conjunction with asset growth plans, creating a positive impact on shareholder value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

JBI is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit, and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the JBI has.

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

Commitments to extend 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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash

requirements. JBI evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by JBI upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by JBI to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Asset-Liability Structure

As part of its asset and liability management, Jacksonville Bank has emphasized establishing and implementing internal asset-liability decision processes as well as communications and control procedures to aid in enhancing its earnings. It is believed that these processes and procedures provide Jacksonville Bank with better capital planning, asset mix and volume controls, loan pricing guidelines, and deposit interest rate guidelines, which should result in tighter controls and less exposure to interest-rate risk.

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest-rate sensitive and by monitoring an institution’s interest-rate sensitivity gap. An asset or liability is said to be interest-rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest-rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. The gap ratio is computed as rate-sensitive assets less rate-sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets. A gap is considered positive when the total of rate-sensitive assets exceeds rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds rate-sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap should result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would be expected to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap should adversely affect net interest income.

In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on the results of operations, Jacksonville Bank continues to monitor asset and liability management policies to appropriately match the maturities and repricing terms of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Such policies have consisted primarily of: (1) emphasizing the origination of variable-rate loans; (2) maintaining a stable core deposit base; and (3) maintaining a sound level of liquid assets (cash and securities).

(1) Variable rate loans are included in the period in which the interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which the loans mature. Fixed rate loans are scheduled, including repayments, according to their contractual maturities.
(2) Certain liabilities such as NOW accounts, while technically are subject to immediate repricing in response to changing market rates, historically have shown little volatility. Conversely, many of the money market and savings accounts float with the prime lending rate and, therefore, are assumed to reprice within a three-month horizon. Management subjectively sets rates on all accounts.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Total assets increased $13.4 million, or 3.1%, from $438.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $452.2 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, JBI experienced a net loan decrease of $10.2 million, or 2.7%. Commercial real estate decreased by $4.6 million, or 2.0%, residential real estate decreased by $3.1 million, or 3.2%, construction real estate decreased by $1.7 million, or 5.3%, and consumer loans decreased by $781,000, or 20%, offset by a $1.3 million, or 5.5%, increase in commercial loans. In addition, the allowance for loan losses increased by $1.4 million.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $17.5 million from $5.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $23.1 million at June 30, 2010 due to an increase in federal funds sold of $16.5 million. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $3.3 million to $25.4 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, ABI purchased $2.0 million of U.S. government agency securities and $5.2 million GNMA CMO securities. In addition, ABI received $4.3 million in proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments.

Total deposits increased $21.1 million, or 5.7%, from $370.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $391.7 million at June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, money market, NOW and

savings deposits increased $22.5 million to $127.3 million, time deposits increased $1.4 million to $223.5 million and noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.9 million to $40.8 million.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $5.0 million to $20.0 million at June 30, 2010.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $2.2 million from $27.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $25.0 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease was mainly attributable to a net loss of $2.0 million and a $383,000 net unrealized loss on a cash flow hedge derivative. At June 30, 2010, JBI had 8,000,000 authorized shares of $.01 par value common stock, of which 1,750,437 shares were issued and 1,749,387 shares were outstanding. In addition, ABI had 2,000,000 authorized shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding at June 30, 2010.

Asset Quality

JBI has identified certain assets as risk elements. These assets include nonaccruing loans, loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings, and foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management has concerns regarding JBI’s ability to collect the outstanding loan principal and interest amounts and typically when such loans are more than 90 days past due. These loans present more than the normal risk that JBI will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value. JBI’s risk elements at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans     128.17 %       78.38 %  
Loans past due 30 – 89 days, still accruing   $ 8,539     $ 5,308  
Assets classified as substandard and doubtful   $ 37,604     $ 44,815  

Loans are impaired when it is considered probable that JBI will not collect the outstanding loan principal and interest amounts according to the loan’s contractual terms. At June 30, 2010, JBI had impaired loans of $21.9 million, compared to $22.6 million at December 31, 2009. Of the $21.9 million impaired loans, $6.4 million are nonperforming loans as reflected above.

JBI has loan balances of $15.4 million for customers whose loans are classified as troubled debt restructuring and such loans are included in the impaired loan balances of $21.9 million at June 30, 2010. There are no additional funds committed to customers whose loans are classified as troubled debt restructuring. Each of the loans classified as troubled debt restructuring currently carries a market rate of interest. Most of these loans were modified to suspend principal payments for a period of time less than or equal to one year, and the interest rate was modified from a fixed rate to a floating rate tied to the Prime rate. Of the $1.2 million allowance for loan losses reserved for impaired loans, JBI has allocated $756,000 to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructuring.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While JBI experienced improvement in nonperforming loans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, it considers all risk elements, including early indicators of potential problem loans, when determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. JBI’s loans past due 30-89 days increased to $8.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $5.3 million at December 31, 2009.

JBI critically evaluates all requests for additional funding on classified loans to determine whether the borrower has the capacity and willingness to repay. Any requests of this nature require concurrence by the Loan Committee of Jacksonville Bank’s board of directors.

Results of Operations

JBI’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest income is determined by the difference between yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“interest rate spread”) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. JBI’s interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. In addition, JBI’s net earnings are also affected by the level of nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets, as well as the level of noninterest income and noninterest expense, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, and income taxes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

Net Income

There was a net loss for the first six months of 2010 of $2.0 million, compared to a $505,000 net loss in the first six months of 2009. On a diluted per share basis, the net loss was $1.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $0.29 per diluted share in 2009. The net loss for the first six months of 2010 was driven primarily by additional provisions for loan losses, merger related costs, write-down of OREO values, and other related expenses on foreclosed properties.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2009. Interest income increased $238,000 when compared to the first six months of the prior year. This was a result of the average earning asset growth of $15.9 million, offset by a nine basis point interest rate decrease on the average earning assets.

The average loan balances increased $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2010 was 5.42%, which was a decrease of nine basis points, compared to the 5.51% yield earned during the first six months of 2009.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 62 basis points from 2.97% in the first six months of 2009 to 2.35% in the comparable period in 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and all interest-bearing liabilities reflect, in part, the change in the funding mix for the first six months of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

The net interest margin increased by 41 basis points from 2.92% to 3.33% when comparing the first six months of 2010 to the same period last year. This increase is mainly the result of JBI taking advantage of the lowest funding sources and focusing on core deposit gathering initiatives. JBI closely monitors its liquidity needs in conjunction with the cost of its funding sources and has taken action to reduce costs through core deposit gathering initiatives focused on generating lower cost demand, money market and savings accounts.

Average Balance Sheet; Interest Rates and Interest Differential.   The following table sets forth the average daily balances for each major category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as well as the amounts and average rates earned or paid on each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $992,000, or $.57 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $396,000, or $.23 per diluted share, earned for the same quarter last year. During the second quarter of 2010, JBI recorded a $1.9 million provision for loan loss, compared to a $1.3 million provision for the second quarter of 2009. JBI recorded $353,000 of merger related expenses for the recent merger announcement between JBI and ABI. JBI also recorded $379,000 of Other Real Estate Owned expenses related to the write down of OREO values and other related expenses on foreclosed properties.

Net interest income was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2009. Interest income for the quarter increased $124,000 when compared to the prior year as a result of an increase in average earning assets of $18.4 million. Interest expense declined by $334,000 as a result of the reduction in short-term rates and utilizing less expensive wholesale funding to support JBI’s earning asset growth. The net interest margin improved to 3.27% for the quarter, compared to 2.97% for the comparable period in 2009.

Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense and Income Taxes

Noninterest income was $534,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $370,000 for the comparable 2009 period. In 2009, JBI experienced a $132,000 write-off in the stock of Silverton Bank, N.A. due to its May 2009 failure which was offset by a loan referral fee in the amount of $52,000.

Noninterest expense was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $5.0 million in the same period in 2009. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily a result of recording $353,000 of merger related expenses, recording a $527,000 write-down of OREO property values, and recording $317,000 for other related expenses on bank owned property.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.2 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $329,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The tax benefit is the result of the benefits derived from tax-free municipal bonds and tax-free income earned on the bank-owned life insurance policies, resulting in a greater percentage of loss being recorded as a benefit.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

General.   Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $76,000, or $0.04 per basic share and $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $35,000, or $0.02 per basic and $0.02 per diluted share in 2008.

Interest Income and Expense.   Interest income decreased $2.4 million from $25.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $23.2 million in 2009. Interest earned on loans was $22.2 million in 2009, compared to $24.1 million in 2008. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on loans from 6.51% in 2008 to 5.70% in 2009, offset by an increase in the average loan portfolio balance from $370.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $389.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The average security balance was $27.2 million in 2009, compared to $31.9 million in 2008. The interest on securities decreased to $1.1 million in 2009 from $1.4 million in 2008. The average yield on securities decreased 59 basis points from 4.50% in 2008 to 3.91% in 2009.

Interest expense on deposit accounts amounted to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $11.3 million in 2008. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 3.81% in 2008 to 2.68% in 2009, and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits from $297.2 million in 2008 to $293.0 million in 2009. Interest on FHLB advances, subordinated debt, Federal Reserve borrowing and other borrowings amounted to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, with a weighted average cost of 2.66%. In July 2008, JBI issued an additional $7.6 million of trust preferred securities priced at three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points. On July 7, 2009, JBI entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SunTrust Bank to mitigate interest rate risk exposure. Under the terms of the agreement, which relates to the subordinated debt issued to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III in the amount of $7,550, JBI has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 7.53% for a period of ten years in exchange for the original floating rate contract (90-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points).

Provision for Loan Losses.   The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by JBI, the amount of nonperforming loans, and general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to JBI’s market areas, and other factors related to the collectability of JBI’s loan portfolio. The provision for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $4.4 million, compared to $3.6 million in 2008. The provision expense was necessitated primarily by an increase in net charge-offs and the ongoing softening in real estate values in JBI’s market. JBI had net loan charge-offs of $2.2 million in 2009 compared to $2.0 million during 2008. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $6.9 million at December 31, 2009 is appropriate to absorb estimated losses in the portfolio as of that date.

Noninterest Income.   Noninterest income was $841,000 for 2009 compared to $1.2 million in 2008. The decline was principally the result of recognizing a $132,000 write-off in the stock of Silverton Bank, N.A. due to its May 2009 failure and a $127,000 reduction in the earnings on the BOLI policy. This was offset by a loan referral fee of $52,000.

Noninterest Expense.   Noninterest expense totaled $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $9.8 million in 2008. Increases in regulatory assessments and data processing were offset by a reduction in compensation expense, directors’ fees and professional fees during 2009. In 2008, JBI recorded a $468,000 charge as a result of the termination of the agreement to acquire Heritage Bancshares, Inc.

Income Taxes (Benefit).   The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $104,000 compared to an income tax benefit of $229,000 in 2008. The tax benefit is the result of the benefits derived from tax-free municipal bonds and tax-free income earned on the bank-owned life insurance policies, resulting in a greater percentage of loss being taxed at the statutory rates.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

General.   Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $35,000, or $0.02 per basic share and $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net earnings of $3.0 million, or $1.70 per basic and $1.63 per diluted share in 2007.

Interest Income and Expense.   Interest income decreased $1.2 million from $26.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $25.6 million in 2008. Interest earned on loans was $24.1 million in 2008, compared to $25.3 million in 2007. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on loans from 7.99% in 2007 to 6.51% in 2008, offset by an increase in the average loan portfolio balance from $317.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $370.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The average security balance was $31.9 million in 2008, compared to $30.2 million in 2007. The interest on securities remained relatively flat at $1.4 million for 2008 and 2007. The average yield on securities decreased 14 basis points from 4.64% in 2007 to 4.50% in 2008.

Interest expense on deposit accounts amounted to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $12.0 million in 2007. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 4.66% in 2007 to 3.81% in 2008, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits from $258.0 million in 2007 to $297.2 million in 2008. Interest on FHLB advances, subordinated debt, Federal Reserve borrowing and other borrowings amounted to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, with a weighted average cost of 4.15%. In July 2008, JBI issued an additional $7.6 million of trust preferred securities priced at three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points.

The provision for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $3.6 million, compared to $542,000 in 2007. The increase in provision expense was necessitated primarily by an increase in net charge-offs and Jacksonville Bank’s aggressive efforts to identify any potential losses in the portfolio. Jacksonville Bank had net loan charge-offs of $2.0 million in 2008 compared to $47,000 during 2007. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses of $4.7 million at December 31, 2008 was appropriate.

Noninterest Income.   Noninterest income remained relatively flat at $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Noninterest Expense.   Noninterest expense totaled $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $8.5 million in 2007. Compensation expenses, professional fees, data processing fees, FDIC assessments, a one-time charge of $38,000 for the disposal of fixed assets no longer in use and a $468,000 charge for expenses related to the termination of the merger agreement with Heritage Bancshares, Inc. accounted for the majority of noninterest expense increasing $1.3 million.

Income Taxes (Benefit).   The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $229,000 compared to an income tax expense of $1,588,000 in 2007.

ABOUT ABI

Business

General

On October 23, 1998, Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “ABI”) was incorporated in the State of Florida. On April 3, 1999, the shareholders of Oceanside Bank (“Oceanside Bank”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization”) whereby Oceanside Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ABI. The Reorganization was completed on May 5, 1999. ABI is a registered one-bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), and now owns all of the voting shares of Oceanside Bank. ABI’s corporate offices are located at 1315 South Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, Florida. ABI presently has no significant operations other than the operations of Oceanside Bank.

Oceanside Bank opened July 21, 1997, and operates as a Florida state-chartered community bank within its assessment area. Oceanside Bank provides general commercial banking services to businesses and individuals. The principal business of Oceanside Bank is to receive demand and time deposits from the public and to make loans and other investments. Oceanside Bank operates from a main office located at 1315 South Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, Florida, and three branch offices that are located at 560 Atlantic Boulevard, Neptune Beach, Florida; 13799 Beach Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida; and 1790 Kernan Boulevard South, Jacksonville, Florida. In 2008, Oceanside Bank formed and began operating a subsidiary, S. Pt. Properties, Inc., for the sole purpose of managing a single real estate property acquired through foreclosure. In 2009, Oceanside Bank formed and began operating two subsidiaries, Parman Place, Inc. and East Arlington, Inc., for the sole purpose of each managing a single real estate property acquired through foreclosure.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ABI included in this proxy statement/prospectus 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 ABI’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In its report dated April 15, 2010, ABI’s independent registered public accounting firm stated that ABI’s net losses raise substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. In that firm’s opinion, ABI’s ability to continue as a going concern is in doubt as a result of the continued deterioration of its loan portfolio and is subject to ABI’s ability to service its existing loans in a manner that will return ABI to profitability or to identify and consummate a strategic transaction, including the potential sale of ABI. If ABI is not able to successfully accomplish such actions, it is possible that its subsidiary bank may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

As is the case with banking institutions generally, ABI’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Florida Department of Financial Services. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand, the availability of funds, and ABI’s ability to collect outstanding loans. ABI faces strong competition in attracting deposits (its primary source for funding loans) and significant challenges with realizing the full value of its loan portfolio.

Oceanside Bank has defined its assessment (or trade) area based on various factors, including its size, banking offices, geographic boundaries, lending expertise, management, and competition. Oceanside Bank draws most of its customer deposits and conducts a significant portion of its lending transactions from and within its assessment area. The assessment area is bounded to the West by SR 9A and East of the southern portion of US 1 in Duval County; to the South by the Duval County Line and North of Palm Valley Road in St. Johns County; to the North by the St. Johns River in Duval County; and to the East by the Atlantic Ocean. Duval County and St. Johns County enjoy an abundant and educated work force, an attractive business

environment, favorable cost-of-living comparisons to other metropolitan areas in the United States, and a good relationship between the private and public sectors.

In general, commercial real estate in ABI’s assessment area consists of small shopping centers and office buildings. The type of residential real estate within its assessment area varies, with a number of condominiums, townhouses, and single-family housing developments dispersed throughout the area. New residential growth consists primarily of working professionals with families.

ABI believes that its assessment area has been a desirable market in which to operate an independent, locally-owned bank. Furthermore, since ABI has a large base of local shareholders and communicates frequently with its shareholders, additional opportunities exist for marketing that might not be found with other financial institutions in its assessment area. ABI’s broad base of shareholders from the Beaches and surrounding areas of Jacksonville, and the historically favorable economic environment of its assessment area, should provide ABI with the opportunity to gain market share.

As a locally-owned and operated institution, ABI emphasizes providing prompt, efficient, and personalized service to individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and other local organizations. Generally, customers have one account officer to serve all of their banking needs and have ready access to senior management when necessary. In addition, ABI’s board of directors is responsible for maintaining a visible profile for, and providing business to, Oceanside Bank within its local community.

ABI’s principal strategy is to:

expand its commercial and small business customer base within its assessment area;
make commercial and consumer loans within its assessment area, as well as throughout Duval County and the surrounding counties; and
expand its consumer loan base within its assessment area.

ABI’s belief is that the most profitable deposit relationships are characterized by high deposit balances, low frequency of transactions, and low distribution requirements. Being a community bank with local management, ABI is well-positioned to establish these relationships with smaller commercial customers and households.

ABI’s sources of funds for loans and other investments include demand, time, savings, and other deposits, amortization and repayment of loans, sales to other lenders or institutions of loans or participations in loans, and other borrowings. ABI’s principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, and to a lesser extent, interest and dividends collected on other investments. ABI’s principal expenses are interest paid on savings and other deposits, interest paid on other borrowings, employee compensation, office expenses, and other overhead and operational expenses. ABI offers several deposit accounts, including demand deposit accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts (“NOW” accounts), money market accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and various retirement accounts. During 2007 and 2008, ABI also obtained funds from customer repurchase agreements that have been classified as other borrowings and brokered deposits that have been classified as other time deposits. After the implementation of regulatory programs in 2008, ABI discontinued offering customer repurchase agreements in 2009.

ABI has ATMs located at each of its offices, and it is a member of an electronic banking network so that ABI’s customers may use the ATMs of other financial institutions. ABI also operates drive-in tellers and 24-hour depositories at each of its offices. As part of the strategy to offer innovative services to its customers, ABI provides on-line banking (“Internet Banking”), Dial-a-Bank (Telephone Banking), remote deposit capture, ACH origination, and lock-box cash management.

ABI’s efforts are focused on filling the void created by the increasing number of locally-owned community banks that have been acquired by large regional holding companies, negatively impacting the personal nature of the delivery, quality, and availability of banking services in its assessment area and surrounding areas.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Competition

The banking industry, in general, and ABI’s market, in particular, is characterized by significant competition for both deposits and lending opportunities. In ABI’s market area, it competes with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms, and various other nonbank competitors. Competition for deposits may have the effect of increasing the rates of interest ABI will pay on deposits, which would increase its cost of money and possibly reduce its net earnings. Competition for loans may have the effect of lowering the rate of interest ABI will receive on its loans, which would lower its return on invested assets and possibly reduce its net earnings. Many of ABI’s competitors have been in existence for a significantly longer period of time than ABI, are larger and have greater financial and other resources and lending limits than ABI, and may offer certain services that ABI does not provide at this time. However, ABI feels the market is rich with opportunity to provide tailor-made custom banking products and services that cannot be provided by the large institutions that offer many banking products and services on an impersonal basis. As larger financial institutions have in recent years acquired community banks, ABI is able to cater to those customers looking for more personalized service.

ABI’s profitability depends upon its ability to compete in this market area. At the present time, ABI is unable to predict to what degree competition may adversely affect its financial condition and operating results.

ABI’s response to this highly competitive environment dictates that it:

reviews and acts upon loan requests quickly with a locally-based loan committee;
maintains flexible, but prudent lending policies;
personalizes service with emphasis on establishing long-term banking relationships with its customers; and
maintains a strong ratio of employees to customers to enhance the level of service.

Lending Activities

Overview.   ABI offers a wide range of loans to individuals, small businesses and other organizations that are located, or conduct a substantial portion of their business, in its assessment area. At December 31, 2009, ABI’s consolidated total loans were $194.2 million, or 65.3%, of its total consolidated assets. The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk, maturity, and amount of the loan, and are further subject to competitive pressures, money market rates, availability of funds, and government regulations. ABI has no foreign loans or loans for highly-leveraged transactions.

ABI’s loan portfolio is concentrated in three major areas: real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer and other loans. A majority of ABI’s loans are made on a secured basis. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 93% of ABI’s total loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by mortgages on real estate. Of the total loans secured by mortgages on real estate, approximately 50% are secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties (commercial real estate) and 17% are construction, land development, and other land loans, secured by real estate. The remaining 33% are secured by one-to four-family and multifamily residential properties. Commercial loans not secured by real estate amounted to approximately 5% of ABI’s total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2009. Consumer and other loans represent approximately 2% of ABI’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2009.

During 2008 and 2007, ABI brokered loans totaling $11.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively, which were closed by the correspondent mortgage lenders. ABI recorded brokering fees of $17,000 and $69,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2009, ABI did not broker any mortgage loans or record any brokering fees for such activities. ABI’s ability to solicit, process, and broker residential mortgage loans is highly dependent on the general economy and interest rate environment, the health of the residential real estate market, and competition from other local and national mortgage bankers and brokers.

General.   ABI originates loans primarily for investment purposes. Significant segments of ABI’s loan portfolio are one-to four- family residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, including nonresidential real estate, construction and development loans, and commercial and industrial loans.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following summarizes ABI’s general policies and procedures; however, each loan is underwritten separately following lending standards consistent with community banking practices. In cases where ABI makes exceptions to its policies and procedures (or regulatory guidance), ABI notates such exceptions in its underwriting documentation for consideration in the approval process or, if required by regulations, ABI monitors and reports to its directors. Also, when making references to rates, terms, and other ratios, some loans may differ; however, ABI believes those differences are immaterial.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans.   ABI offers mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes, most of which serve as the primary residence of the borrower. ABI offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans with terms up to 30 years. Borrower demand for adjustable-rate loans versus fixed-rate loans is a function of the level of interest rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates, and the difference between the interest rates and loan fees offered for fixed-rate mortgage loans and the initial period interest rates and loan fees for adjustable-rate loans. The relative amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage loans that can be originated at any time is largely determined by the demand for each in a competitive environment. The loan fees, interest rates, and other provisions of mortgage loans are determined by ABI on the basis of its own pricing criteria, competitive market conditions, and regulatory constraints. Most of ABI’s loan originations result from relationships with existing or past customers, members of its local community and referrals from realtors, attorneys, and builders.

While one- to four-family residential real estate loans are normally originated with up to 30-year terms, such loans typically remain outstanding for substantially shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans in full upon sale of the property pledged as security or upon refinancing the original loan. Therefore, average loan maturity is a function of, among other factors, the level of purchase and sale activity in the real estate market, prevailing interest rates, and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans. Additionally, ABI’s current practice is to hold in its portfolio fixed-rate home equity lines of credit and home equity loans with 10-year terms or less and adjustable-rate loans.

Interest rates and payments on ABI’s adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally adjust annually after an initial fixed period that ranges from 3 to 5 years. Interest rates and payments on these adjustable-rate loans are based on published indices such as the one-year constant maturity Treasury index as published by the Federal Reserve in Statistical Release H.15. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased is two percentage points per adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is six percentage points over the initial interest rate of the loan. ABI’s adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans provide for a decrease in the rate paid below the initial contract rate.

ABI’s policy is to not originate conventional loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 90%. All purchase money loans secured by one-to-four family residential property require a formal appraisal by a board of directors-approved licensed appraiser. ABI obtains title insurance on all first mortgage loans. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance, windstorm insurance, and flood insurance for loans on properties located in a flood zone, before closing the loan.

Nonresidential Real Estate and Land Loans.   ABI offers adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by nonresidential real estate such as commercial buildings. These loans are typically repaid or the term is extended before maturity, in which case a new rate is negotiated to meet market conditions and an extension of the loan is executed for a new term with a new amortization schedule. ABI originates adjustable-rate nonresidential real estate loans with terms up to 25 years. Interest rates and payments on most of these loans typically adjust annually after an initial fixed term of three to seven years. Interest rates and payments on these loans are based on published indices such as the prime interest rate. Loans are secured by first mortgages that do not exceed 80% of the property’s appraised value (65% for vacant land loans and 75% for horizontally-developed land loans), the maximum amount of which is limited by its in-house loans to one borrower limit. When the borrower is a corporation, partnership or other entity, ABI’s policy is that significant equity holders serve as co-borrowers or as personal guarantors of the loan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABI also originates loans secured by unimproved property, including lots for single family homes and for mobile homes, raw land, and vacant commercial property. The terms and rates of ABI’s land loans are the same as its nonresidential and multi-family real estate loans. Loans secured by undeveloped land or improved lots typically involve greater risks than residential mortgage lending because land loans are more difficult to evaluate. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, in the event of default and foreclosure, ABI may be confronted with a property the value of which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Loan amounts generally do not exceed 65% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for raw land and 75% for land development and vacant horizontally developed land.

Construction Loans.   ABI originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans to individuals and, to a lesser extent, builders to finance the construction of residential dwellings. ABI also makes construction loans for commercial development projects, including apartment buildings, restaurants, shopping centers, and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. ABI’s construction loans provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 9 – 12 months for residential properties and 12 – 18 months for commercial properties. At the end of the construction phase, the loan converts to a permanent mortgage loan. Loans can be made with a maximum as built loan to value ratio of 85% on residential construction and 80% on commercial construction at the time the loan is originated. Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, ABI requires an as built appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. ABI also will require an independent inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan.

Commercial Loans.   ABI occasionally makes commercial business loans to professionals, sole proprietorships, and small businesses in its market area. ABI extends commercial business loans on an unsecured basis and secured basis, the maximum amount of which is limited by its in-house loans to one borrower limit.

ABI originates secured and unsecured commercial lines of credit to finance the working capital needs of businesses to be repaid by seasonal cash flows. Commercial lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate are adjustable-rate loans whose rates are based on the prime interest rate and adjust daily. Commercial lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate have terms no greater than 1 – 2 years and a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 85% of the pledged collateral when the collateral is commercial real estate. ABI also originates commercial lines of credit secured by marketable securities and business assets and unsecured lines of credit. These lines of credit, as well as certain commercial lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate, require that only interest be paid on a monthly or quarterly basis and have a maximum term of no greater than one-to two years.

ABI also originates secured and unsecured commercial loans. Secured commercial loans are collateralized by nonresidential real estate, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, industrial/commercial machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures. ABI originates both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate commercial loans with terms up to 25 years for secured loans and up to three years for unsecured loans. Adjustable-rate loans are based on prime and adjust annually. Where the borrower is a corporation, partnership or other entity, ABI’s policy is to require significant equity holders to be co-borrowers, and in cases where they are not co-borrowers, ABI requires personal guarantees.

When making commercial business loans, ABI considers the financial statements and/or tax returns of the borrower, the borrower’s payment history of both corporate and personal debt, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the viability of the industry in which the customer operates, and the value of the collateral.

Higher Risk Loans.   Certain types of loans, such as option ARM products, junior lien mortgages, high loan-to-value ratio mortgages, interest only loans (which are associated with construction and development loans), subprime loans, and loans with initial teaser rates, can have a greater risk of non-collection than other loans. ABI has not engaged in the practice of lending in the subprime market or offering loans with initial teaser rates and option ARM products.

Loan Underwriting Risks

Oceanside Bank’s lending policies reflect the level of risk acceptable to its board of directors and management, and provide clear and measurable underwriting standards that enable its lending staff to evaluate all relevant credit factors. To ensure that policies and standards remain safe and sound, ABI considers both internal and external factors, such as its market position, historical experience, present and prospective trade area, probable future loan and funding trends, staff capabilities, and technological resources. Consistent with bank regulatory real estate lending guidelines, ABI’s commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending policies address the following underwriting standards:

Maximum loan amount by type of property
Loan terms
Pricing structures
Collateral valuation
Loan-to-value (LTV) limits by property types
Requirements for sensitivity analysis or stress testing
Minimum requirements for initial investment and maintenance of hard equity by the borrower
Minimum standards for borrower net worth, property cash flow and debt service coverage for the property

Residential Single-Family Adjustable-Rate Loans.   While ABI anticipates that adjustable-rate loans will better offset the adverse effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed-rate mortgages, the increased mortgage payments required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in delinquencies and defaults. The marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a high interest rate environment. In addition, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans help make ABI’s loan portfolio more responsive to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the annual and lifetime interest rate adjustment limits. ABI underwrites adjustable-rate mortgages at fully indexed rates.

Multi-Family and Nonresidential Real Estate (including Land Loans).   Loans secured by multi-family and nonresidential real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in multi-family and nonresidential real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. To monitor cash flows on income properties securing loans over $500,000, ABI requires borrowers and significant loan guarantors of loan relationships to provide annual financial statements and/or tax returns. In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family and nonresidential real estate loan, ABI considers the net operating income of the property, the borrower’s expertise, credit history, and profitability and the value of the underlying property. ABI’s underwriting guidelines state that the properties securing these real estate loans should have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.20x. Environmental surveys and inspections are obtained when circumstances suggest the possibility of the presence of hazardous materials, and are required for loans of $750,000 or more.

To monitor cash flows on loan participations, ABI requires the lead lender to provide ABI with annual financial statements from the borrower. ABI also conducts an annual internal loan review for loan participations.

Construction Loans.   Construction financing is considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, ABI may be

110


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, ABI may be confronted, at or before the maturity of the loan, with a building having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. If ABI is forced to foreclose on a building before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that ABI will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.

Commercial Loans.   Unlike residential mortgage loans, which typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property the value of which tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

Loan Originations, Purchases, and Sales.   Loan originations come from a number of sources. The primary sources of loan originations can be attributed to direct solicitation from ABI’s lending officers, existing customers, walk-in traffic, advertising, and referrals from customers and brokers. ABI occasionally purchases participation interests in loans to supplement its origination efforts.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority.   ABI’s lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by its board of directors and management. In addition to establishing lending limits and loan authorities, ABI’s policies establish loan-to-value limits. For example, real estate mortgage loans are subject to regulatory loan-to-value limits as follows:

 
REGULATORY LOAN-TO-VALUE LIMITS
LOAN CATEGORIES   LTV LIMIT
Raw Land     65 %  
Land development and vacant horizontally developed land     75 %  
Construction:
        
Commercial, multifamily, and other nonresidential     80 %  
One-to-four family residential     85 %  
Improved property     85 %  
Owner-occupied one-to-four family and home equity     89.9 %  

ABI may approve a loan that exceeds the stated loan to value limits. Any such loan will be treated on a case-by-case basis. The aggregate amount of all loans in excess of the loan to value ratios will not exceed 100 percent of total capital. Additionally, within the aggregate limit, the total loans for all commercial, multifamily, and other properties that are not one-to-four family residential properties should not exceed 30 percent of total capital.

Underwriting Documentation.   ABI’s policies provide specific guidance covering the various types of loans and include documenting the borrower’s (and/or guarantor’s) experience, character, liquidity, competition, local market/economic trends, past performance, and projected cash flow to repay the debt. ABI’s validation requirements for documenting a borrower’s income and assets include obtaining tax returns, personal or business financial statements, and credit bureau reports. If appropriate, ABI verifies employment status and employment income. ABI also makes inquiries and performs cash flow analyses in its underwriting.

When prudent, ABI physically inspects the borrower’s business or property. In addition, ABI obtains third party appraisals, internal valuations, environmental assessments, project economics, analysis of leases, and annual financial data.

Appraisal Policy.   ABI has a detailed policy covering the real estate appraisal process, including the selection of qualified appraisers, review of appraisal reports upon receipt, and complying with the federal regulatory standards that govern the minimum requirements for obtaining appraisals or evaluations. When ABI renews a loan secured by real estate that is covered by the federal regulatory appraisal guidelines, it obtains a current evaluation or, if market conditions warrant, or if ABI advances new monies in excess of reasonable closing costs, an updated appraisal.

111


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

When ABI evaluates a collateral-dependent loan for impairment, it obtains updated appraisals or evaluations depending on the age of the last appraisal, volatility of the local market, and other factors. If ABI can support the existing appraisal with a current comparable sales evaluation and tax assessment value, then ABI may continue to use the existing appraisal. In developing an evaluation, ABI uses discounts derived from its observation of market trends including declines in real estate values and increases in marketing time as well as conversations with local appraisers and real estate brokers.

Unless ABI is permitted by regulatory guidance to substitute an acceptable evaluation (with appropriate discounts considered) for a new or updated appraisal, its practice is to not use outdated appraisals in either the loan origination, loan renewal, or determination of the level of its allowance for loan losses.

Loan maturities.   As previously mentioned, ABI must consider both the risk of early repayment of loans and the timing of contractual loan maturities, which is the risk that it would be unable to reinvest the proceeds from loan repayment at favorable rates (or net interest margin).

A significant portion of ABI’s loans mature within one year. Many of the commercial, construction, and real estate development loans ABI originates are for 1-year to 3-year terms (and are historically renewed). Since a substantial portion of loans are typically renewed at maturity, ABI expects the historical trend to continue. In the event of an unusually high pay-off rate, ABI believes it has the ability to adjust its deposit rates to shrink its balance sheet if prudent. Furthermore, as ABI seeks to increase its risk-based capital ratios, one strategy that it intends to implement calls for reducing the total assets of Oceanside Bank. To the extent certain loans maturing within the next 12 months do not renew, this will assist in achieving ABI’s goal of improving its risk-based capital ratios.

Junior liens and home equity lines of credit of $16.1 million were included in the total of $30.6 million of one-to four- family residential loans maturing in one year or less. These loans are typically written for shorter terms (or renew annually). Also, ABI has shown $19.6 million of one-to four- family residential loans that reprice during 2010 and may refinance in the current rate environment and $3.1 million of nonaccrual loans.

ABI has $18.7 million in construction, land development, and other land loans that mature during 2010. Despite the current market conditions, ABI believes that it has the ability to renew these loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

For those loans that ABI expects construction will be completed during 2010, it either has a take-out commitment to permanently finance from another lender, or it has approved the loan to hold in its portfolio. For development loans where the project has stalled or is expected to continue past the current maturity date of the loan, ABI plans to renew the loan and whenever possible begin amortizing the loan. This approach is generally permitted by regulatory guidelines and considered by ABI’s board of directors as a prudent strategy to recover ABI’s investment without forcing the borrower (or ABI) to liquidate the collateral in this unfavorable real estate environment.

Deposit Activities

Deposits are ABI’s major source of funds for loans and other investment activities. At December 31, 2009, ABI’s regular savings, demand, NOW, and money market deposit accounts comprised approximately 52% of its consolidated total deposits. Approximately 31% of its consolidated deposits at December 31, 2009, were certificates of deposit (or time deposits) of less than $100,000. Time deposits of $100,000 and over made up approximately 17% of ABI’s consolidated total deposits at December 31, 2009. Generally, ABI’s goal is to maintain the rates paid on its deposits at a competitive level. Brokered deposits of $19.1 million, or approximately 7%, of consolidated total deposits at December 31, 2009, are included in time deposits of $100,000 or less.

Oceanside Bank, following the filing of its December 31, 2009 call report, is not able to accept, renew, or roll over brokered deposits, or pay interest rates more than 75 basis points above prevailing market rates in its local markets or national rates released by the FDIC. Oceanside Bank no longer accepts new brokered deposits. As a result of the rate restrictions, it is possible that ABI could experience a decrease in new deposits, and its existing customers may transfer their deposits to other institutions that are able to offer a higher interest rate, which could have a material adverse effect on ABI’s ability to continue as a going

TABLE OF CONTENTS

concern. For a detail discussion of restrictions on rates and types of deposits placed on Oceanside Bank in gathering and retaining deposits, see the following section, entitled “Business — Supervision and Regulation.”

Investment Activities

ABI is permitted to invest a portion of its assets in U.S. Government agency, state, county, and municipal obligations, certificates of deposit, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), and federal funds sold. ABI’s investments are managed in relation to loan demand and deposit growth, and are generally used to provide for the investment of excess funds at minimal risks while providing liquidity to fund increases in loan demand or to offset fluctuations in deposits.

ABI’s total investment portfolio may be invested in U.S. Treasury and general obligations of its agencies and state, county, and municipal obligations because such securities generally represent a minimal investment risk. Occasionally, ABI purchases certificates of deposits of national and state banks. Under ABI’s policy, investments in certificates of deposits may not exceed $250,000 in any one institution (the current limit of FDIC insurance for deposit accounts). CMOs are secured with Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and General National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) Residential mortgage pass-through securities and generally have a shorter life than the stated maturity. ABI invests excess cash in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Federal funds sold through approved correspondent banks are used as an alternative source for overnight investment of excess cash.

ABI monitors changes in financial markets that may affect its portfolio investments. ABI also monitors its daily cash position to ensure that all available funds earn interest at the earliest possible date.

A portion of ABI’s investment account is designated as primary reserves and invested in liquid securities that can be readily converted to cash with minimum risk of market loss. These investments usually consist of U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agencies, and federal funds. The remainder of ABI’s investment account (or secondary reserves) may be placed in investment securities of different types and longer maturities. The maturities of ABI’s securities are staggered whenever possible so as to produce a steady cash flow in the event ABI needs cash, or economic conditions change to a more favorable rate environment.

Correspondent Banking

Correspondent banking involves one bank providing services to another bank that cannot provide those services for itself from an economic, regulatory, or practical standpoint. ABI purchases correspondent services offered by larger banks, including check collections, purchase of federal funds, security safekeeping, investment services, coin and currency supplies, overline and liquidity loan participations, and sales of loans to, or participation with, correspondent banks. ABI has ongoing banking relationships with several correspondent banks. ABI also sells loan participations to correspondent banks with respect to loans that would exceed its lending limit.

Interest and Usury

Like other commercial banks, ABI is subject to state and federal statutes that affect the interest rates that may be charged on loans. These laws do not, under present market conditions, deter ABI from continuing the process of originating loans.

Supervision and Regulation

Both ABI and Oceanside Bank are subject to comprehensive regulation, examination, and supervision by the Federal Reserve, the Florida Department of Financial Services and the FDIC and are subject to other laws and regulations applicable to bank holding companies and banks. Such regulation is described in “About JBI — Regulation and Supervision.”

At December 31, 2009, Oceanside Bank’s Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 6.40% and 7.68%, respectively. ABI’s total risk-based capital ratio of 7.68% was 3.32% below the minimum required under the Consent Order (defined below) and 0.32% under the threshold for adequately capitalized institutions. Under current regulations, bank holding companies with consolidated assets under $500 million are not required to calculate and report risk-based capital ratios. The Consent Order requires a minimum leverage ratio of 8%. At December 31, 2009, ABI’s leverage ratio was 4.06%, which was 3.94% less than its required 8.0% under the Consent Order.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effective January 7, 2010, Oceanside Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Stipulation”) with the FDIC and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, Oceanside Bank has consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of January 7, 2010 (“Consent Order”).

The Consent Order represents an agreement among Oceanside Bank, the FDIC, and the OFR as to areas of Oceanside Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on Oceanside Bank.

Pursuant to the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank’s board of directors is required to increase its participation in the affairs of Oceanside Bank. This participation shall include comprehensive, documented meetings to be held no less frequently than monthly. Oceanside Bank must also develop, submit for comment to the FDIC and the OFR, and approve a management plan for the purpose of providing qualified management for Oceanside Bank. Prior to the entry of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank’s board of directors conducted such meetings, but will now require more detailed management reports. Oceanside Bank’s board of directors has developed a management plan and evaluated the structure and composition of Oceanside Bank’s current management. Oceanside Bank’s board of directors has also developed an education plan for itself.

During the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank shall not add any individual to its board of directors or employ any individual as a senior executive officer without the prior non-objection of the FDIC and the OFR. Oceanside Bank has been subject to this requirement since 2008; therefore, this requirement will have no effect on Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Within 90 days of the effective date of the Consent Order and, thereafter, during the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank must achieve and maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8% and a total risk based capital ratio of not less than 11%. In the event such ratios fall below such levels, Oceanside Bank shall notify the FDIC and the OFR and shall increase capital in an amount sufficient to reach the required ratios within 90 days of such notice. At March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, Oceanside Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 4.32% and 4.64%, respectively, and its total risk based capital ratio was 7.74% and 8.20%, respectively. Oceanside Bank did not meet the April 7, 2010, deadline to raise additional capital as required by the Consent Order. However, the Merger is expected to result in Oceanside Bank being part of a larger bank, with significantly higher capital ratios. If the Merger is not consummated, ABI will explore other strategic alternatives intended to improve Oceanside Bank’s capital ratios.

Oceanside Bank is also required to maintain a fully funded Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”), the adequacy of which shall be satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR. Oceanside Bank’s board of directors must review the adequacy of the ALLL and establish a comprehensive policy for determining the adequacy of the ALLL consistent with regulatory policies. A deficiency in the ALLL must be remedied in the calendar quarter it is discovered. Oceanside Bank’s policy for determining the adequacy of Oceanside Bank’s ALLL and its implementation shall be satisfactory to the FDIC and the OFR as determined at subsequent examinations and/or visitations. Oceanside Bank has always endeavored to maintain a fully funded ALLL. Regulatory review of the ALLL has not always been consistent from examination/visitation to examination/visitation and has not always seemed to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or written regulatory guidance or regulations, so Oceanside Bank anticipates possibly being requested to make further adjustments to the ALLL depending on the affiliation (FDIC or OFR), identity, or attitudes of future examination or visitation staff. As of the date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank believes its ALLL was compliant with regulatory guidance and consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

Pursuant to the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank must review, revise, and adopt its written liquidity, contingency funding, and funds management policy to provide effective guidance and control over Oceanside Bank’s funds management activities. Oceanside Bank must also implement effective models for managing liquidity and calculating the liquidity and dependency ratios with monthly reporting to Oceanside Bank’s board of directors. Oceanside Bank has revised such policies and is refining its practices and procedures in these areas. Oceanside Bank expects that these actions will improve its liquidity, contingency funding, and funds management practices.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Throughout the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank shall not accept, renew, or rollover any brokered deposit, and comply with the restrictions on the effective yields on deposits exceeding national averages. Oceanside Bank has not accepted, renewed, or rolled over any brokered deposits since July 2009; therefore, that restriction is not expected to alter Oceanside Bank’s current deposit gathering activities. With respect to the yield limitations, it is possible that Oceanside Bank could experience a decrease in deposit inflows, or the migration of current deposits to competitor institutions, if other institutions offer higher interest rates than those permitted to be offered by Oceanside Bank.

While the Consent Order is in effect, Oceanside Bank shall notify the FDIC and the OFR, at least, 60 days prior to undertaking asset growth in excess of 10% or more per annum or initiating material changes in asset or liability composition. Oceanside Bank anticipates no such changes.

While the Consent Order is in effect, Oceanside Bank shall not declare or pay dividends, interest payments on subordinated debentures or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the OFR. Oceanside Bank has not paid a dividend to ABI since April 2009, and ABI has not made any payments on its subordinated debt since June 2009. Therefore, this restriction is not expected to affect Oceanside Bank’s operations.

While the Consent Order remains in effect, Oceanside Bank shall, within 30 days of the receipt of any official Report of Examination, eliminate from its books any remaining balance of any assets classified “Loss” and 50% percent of those classified “Doubtful”, unless otherwise approved in writing by the FDIC and the OFR. Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank shall formulate a plan, subject to approval by the FDIC and the OFR, to reduce its risk exposure in each asset, or relationship in excess of $500,000 classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in November 2008. Oceanside Bank had made such adjustments prior to entry of the Consent Order and has been attempting to reduce its risk exposure in all “Substandard” assets. Therefore, these requirements are not expected to affect Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Oceanside Bank is also required to reduce the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in November 2008, in accordance with the following schedule: (i) within 90 days to not more than 100% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (ii) within 180 days to not more than 85% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iii) within 270 days to not more than 60% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; and (iv) within 360 days to not more than 50% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL. Oceanside Bank did meet the first target goal (April 7, 2010) as the classified assets cited by the FDIC were $16.2 million at March 31, 2010, or 85.15% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL ($19.1 million) and also met the second target goal (July 6, 2010) with classified assets cited by the FDIC of $14.1 million at June 30, 2010, or 79.4% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL ($17.8 million). Oceanside Bank anticipates needing to increase its Tier 1 capital or successfully work out an appropriate amount of “Substandard” assets to meet the remaining targeted ratios. Oceanside Bank’s management is actively trying to reduce the amount of “Substandard” assets and the Merger is expected to resolve Oceanside Bank’s capital issues.

Beginning with the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank may not extend any credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan that has been charged off or classified “Loss” or “Doubtful” and is uncollected. Additionally, during the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from Oceanside Bank that has been classified “Substandard”, and is uncollected, unless Oceanside Bank documents that such extension of credit is in Oceanside Bank’s best interest. Prior to, and following, the entry of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank had, and has, no intention of extending credit to such borrowers in violation of these requirement. Accordingly, such requirement will not affect Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank will engage a loan review analyst who shall review all loans exceeding $500,000. Oceanside Bank has engaged an outside loan review analyst that is expected to complete its work in 2010. In addition, Oceanside Bank has received input as to the quality of individual loans and its loan portfolio in connection with the due diligence process for the Merger. The results of the due diligence review and the planned outside loan review are expected to assist Oceanside Bank in working out classified assets and may result in positive or negative changes to certain loan classifications.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank was required to revise, adopt, and implement a written lending, underwriting, and collection policy to provide effective guidance and control over Oceanside Bank’s lending function. In addition, Oceanside Bank must obtain complete and current documentation for all loans in Oceanside Bank’s loan portfolio. Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, ABI’s board of directors was required to adopt and implement a policy limiting the use of loan interest reserves to certain types of loans. Oceanside Bank has consistently obtained complete and current documentation for its loans. Oceanside Bank has developed the required policies, which are expected to assist management in improving the management of the relevant aspects of Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank was required to perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to any other concentration deemed important by Oceanside Bank. The plan shall establish appropriate commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending risk limits and monitor concentrations of risk in relation to capital. In February 2009, ABI’s board of directors approved a revised CRE policy that called for a quarterly analysis of CRE and other concentrations. The first report was completed as of March 31, 2010, and presented to ABI’s board of directors at its April 2010 meeting. In addition to enhanced CRE tracking, this report measured concentrations of credit by zip code, risk ratings by zip code, loans by NAICS codes for industry concentrations, payment methods (amortizing, interest only, and other), and home equity lines of credit and home equity loans. This analysis and the cessation of CRE lending in January 2009 did not have any impact on Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank was required to formulate and fully implement a written plan and a comprehensive budget. Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank was required to prepare and submit to the FDIC and the OFR for comment a business strategic plan covering the overall operation of Oceanside Bank. Oceanside Bank has prepared a strategic plan and budget and submitted them as required. Since Oceanside Bank has prepared a strategic plan and budget each year since opening, this requirement is not expected to change the nature of Oceanside Bank’s operations.

Within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter following the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside Bank was required to furnish written progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR detailing the form, manner, and results of any actions taken to secure compliance. Oceanside Bank has begun preparing and submitting such reports. This is expected to have minimal impact on Oceanside Bank’s operations and financial results.

On March 26, 2010, ABI entered into a mutual agreement (“Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) to maintain the financial soundness of ABI so that ABI may serve as a source of strength to Oceanside Bank. ABI and the Reserve Bank agreed as follows:

Employees

At September 9, 2010, ABI and Oceanside Bank had approximately 38 full-time employees and one part-time employee. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. ABI and Oceanside Bank consider relations with their employees to be good.

Properties

On October 29, 1996, ABI purchased from an unaffiliated entity the two-story, 3,100 square-foot building at 1315 South Third Street, Jacksonville Beach, Florida, as its main office (“Main Office”). The Main Office includes three inside teller stations, four drive-up teller windows, an automated teller machine, and on-site parking. The Main Office is a former Barnett Bank branch office. ABI purchased the real property for $850,000 and used a portion of the proceeds of the initial offering of ABI’s common stock to add 2,200 square feet to the facility. ABI originally acquired the Main Office with funds drawn on a line of credit with Columbus Bank and Trust Company, which was repaid out of the proceeds of ABI’s initial offering. Improvements totaling approximately $483,000, net of disposals, have been made to date.

On June 3, 1998, ABI purchased from SouthTrust Bank, N.A., a 1,968 square-foot building and real estate located at 560 Atlantic Boulevard, Neptune Beach, Florida. This facility was formerly a branch office of SouthTrust Bank, N.A. ABI purchased this building for $427,000 and, subsequently spent $105,000 on renovations and upgrades, net of disposals. This facility includes two offices, three inside teller windows, general lobby space, three drive-up teller windows, an ATM, and on-site parking. There is no outstanding mortgage loan on this property.

On September 27, 2000, ABI executed a lease for its third banking location, which opened in the third quarter of 2001. This branch is located at 13799 Beach Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida. The lease, which commenced upon execution, covers approximately 9,000 square feet. In addition to the branch, other operations of ABI and Oceanside Bank were relocated to this facility. Rent commenced in May 2002, which was one year from the date of completion of the landlord’s work, and expires ten years thereafter, with two five-year renewal options. No rent was paid in the first year after completion of the landlord’s work. ABI acquired an additional 2,200 square feet of rental space during 2004 adjacent to the operations area for its loan operations department. Scheduled annual rent payments for 2010 through 2011 for the branch and loan operations are: 2010 – $248,000; and 2011 – $84,000. Building improvements, net of disposals, totaled $952,000.

On August 22, 2002, ABI executed a lease for its newest branch location, which opened December 15, 2003. This branch is located at the intersection of Kernan and Atlantic Boulevards, at 1790 Kernan Boulevard South, Jacksonville, Florida. The land lease covers approximately 42,000 square feet. Oceanside Bank constructed the branch building totaling approximately 3,200 square feet at a cost of approximately $1,388,000. Rent commenced in September 2003. The lease is for twenty years with two ten-year renewal options. Scheduled annual rent payments are: 2010-2012 – $84,000; 2013 – $88,000; 2014-2017 – $94,000; 2018 – $100,000; 2019-2022 – $103,000; and 2023 – $68,000.

ABI believes all of its facilities are in good condition and well-maintained.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management’s discussion and analysis is included to provide the shareholders with an expanded narrative of Atlantic BancGroup, Inc.’s (“ABI”) results of operations, changes in financial condition, liquidity, and capital adequacy. This narrative should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of ABI included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Since ABI’s primary asset is its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oceanside Bank (“Oceanside Bank”), most of the discussion and analysis relates to Oceanside Bank.

How ABI Earns Income .  As stated elsewhere herein, ABI’s results of operations are primarily dependent upon the results of operations of Oceanside Bank. Oceanside Bank conducts commercial banking business consisting of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of commercial, consumer, and real estate loans (including commercial loans collateralized by real estate). Profitability depends primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) less the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and is dependent upon Oceanside Bank’s interest-rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on ABI’s interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The factors that influence net interest income include changes in interest rates and changes in the volume and mix of assets and liability balances. The interest rate spread is impacted by interest rates, deposit flows, and loan demand. Additionally, and to a lesser extent, Oceanside Bank’s profitability is affected by such factors as the level of noninterest income and expenses, the provision for loan losses, and the effective tax rate. Noninterest income consists primarily of service fees on deposit accounts, other fee income for banking services, and income from bank-owned life insurance. Noninterest expense consists of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, regulatory assessments, data processing costs, and other operating expenses.

Impact of Inflation .  The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurements of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of ABI’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on its performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates. As discussed previously, ABI seeks to manage the relationships between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates .  ABI’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ABI, Oceanside Bank, and Oceanside Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. ABI’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to ABI’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 included herein. The majority of these accounting policies do not require ABI’s management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. However, ABI believes the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairments of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments are critical estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses .  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable or incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed (that is, a confirmed loss exists). Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

119


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful (impaired). The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current trends.

Loans are individually evaluated for impairment, if significant. A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral and accrual of interest is discontinued.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume 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. There is no precise method of predicting specific loan losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged-off. Also, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates hat are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The determination that a loan may be uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses can be determined only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including, consideration of economic conditions and their effect on particular industries and specific borrowers; a review of borrowers’ financial data, together with industry data, their competitive situation, the borrowers’ management capabilities and other factors; a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, including monitoring any loans that are identified as being of less than acceptable quality; a detailed analysis, on a quarterly basis, of all impaired loans; and an evaluation of the underlying collateral for secured lending.

ABI maintains a formalized loan review process supported by a credit analysis and control system. ABI intends to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated uncollectible loans and, expects to make periodic additions to the allowance for loan losses, when warranted.

Use of Estimates .  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairments of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that may be affected by significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and to support the carrying value of foreclosed assets, ABI obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

ABI’s loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although ABI has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local, state, and national economic conditions that may affect the value of the underlying collateral or the income of the debtor.

While ABI uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans or foreclosed assets may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans and the carrying value of foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require ABI to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

120


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Management’s determination of the realization of deferred tax assets is based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing, nature, and amount of future income earned by certain subsidiaries and the implementation of various plans to maximize realization of deferred tax assets.

ABI has recorded a deferred tax asset (net of valuation allowances) to recognize the future income tax benefit of operating losses incurred for tax years 2009 and 2008. Management believes that the tax benefits on the net operating loss carry forwards will be utilized when ABI returns to profitability. Generally, the net operating losses can be carried forward for up to 20 years.

On November 6, 2009, the “Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009” was signed into law, which relaxed the net operating loss carryback rules. As a result of this law, ABI was able to carryback net operating losses to obtain an estimated tax refund of $1.035 million.

In estimating the carrying value of deferred tax assets, management considered the cumulative loss position, projected taxable income, and available tax strategies in developing the analysis of any required deferred income tax asset valuation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2008

Management considered the cumulative losses in 2008 and the anticipated net operating loss for 2009 when determining whether or not to provide a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset. The economic conditions and ABI’s level of nonperforming assets were taken into consideration as well, which at December 31, 2009, had stabilized.

At December 31, 2008, management believed that the negative evidence was outweighed by certain positive evidence. ABI had a prior history of earnings outside of the recent losses and believed that changes have been made to allow ABI to return to an earnings position, including reductions in payroll and other operating costs. At that time, management believed it was more likely than not that ABI would realize the deferred tax asset through future operating income. Accordingly, no deferred tax valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2009

Cumulative losses in recent quarters suggested the need for a valuation allowance. However, management believed that this negative evidence was partially offset by the following positive evidence, which mitigated the need for reducing the carrying value (net of valuation allowances) to zero:

ABI has a prior history of taxable earnings prior to losses that began in 2008. Since inception in 1997, ABI has reported taxable income in 10 of 12 years through 2008, with cumulative taxable income of nearly $9.0 million through 2008.

122


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABI has reported and believes that changes have been made to allow ABI to return to a taxable earnings position, including reductions in payroll and other operating costs. Within the next 2 – 5 years, internal projections indicate that book and taxable income are more likely than not to return to levels approaching those prior to 2008.
Management has received and considered offers to purchase two of its branch locations and relocate to leased space (or lease-back its existing facilities). While the sale-leaseback would not likely generate significant book income immediately, the taxable income was projected to exceed $1.3 million.
Management and ABI’s board of directors have discussed a tax strategy that would generate taxable income of approximately $1.2 million from the liquidation of bank-owned life insurance policies. Subsequent to March 31, 2010, Oceanside Bank submitted its request to cash in the life insurance policies. The proceeds from the cash surrender value, less any charges or fees, will be received in the second and third quarters of 2010.
Converting tax-exempt investment income to taxable investment income, which could increase taxable income by almost $1.0 million and book income by $0.4 million.
Repurchase of junior subordinated debentures at a discount.
Termination of all or a portion of Oceanside Bank’s deferred compensation plan, which would generate up to $1.6 million in book taxable income and reduce the deferred tax asset by $0.6 million.

Based on the above analysis, management believes it is more likely than not that ABI will realize the deferred tax asset of $0.7 million at December 31, 2009 (net of a valuation allowance of $2.8 million) through future operating income and implementation of certain tax strategies.

Interest Rate Risk .  ABI’s asset base is exposed to risk including the risk resulting from changes in interest rates and changes in the timing of cash flows. Management monitors the effect of such risks by considering the mismatch of the maturities of ABI’s assets and liabilities in the current interest rate environment and the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. ABI has considered the effect of significant increases and decreases in interest rates and believe such changes, if they occurred, would be manageable and would not affect ABI’s ability to hold assets as planned. However, ABI is exposed to significant market risk in the event of significant and prolonged interest rate changes.

Regulatory Environment .  ABI is subject to regulations of certain federal and state agencies and, accordingly, are periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, ABI’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal and state legislation and regulations.

Results of Operations

ABI reported consolidated net income of $282,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, after three consecutive quarters of losses stemming from the depressed real estate market and the effects of local, state, and national economic trends. ABI also experienced increased net interest margins in 2010 compared with 2009. Consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $65,000. During the second quarter of 2010, net interest income was $2,053,000 versus $1,561,000 second quarter of 2009, reflecting a lower cost of funds of 1.02% and a decreased provision for loan losses. ABI also expensed deposit insurance assessments of $419,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, as compared with $239,000 in the same period of 2009.

ABI’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was $265,000, as compared with a net loss of $3,000 in the same period of 2009. In addition to the items discussed above for the first half of 2010, ABI continued to improve its liquidity with total cash and cash equivalents, which include interest-bearing deposits, reaching $33.1 million at June 30, 2010, as compared with $31.1 million at December 31, 2009.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Other significant items affecting 2010 results of operations include:

A decrease in net loan exposure from $194.2 million to $185.9 million, a decrease of 4.3%.
Noninterest expenses, excluding deposit insurance assessments, decreased from $3,403,000 to $3,310,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased from $3,458,000 in 2009 to $4,198,000 in 2010, an increase of $740,000, or 21.4%, as a result of an increase in ABI’s net interest margin from 2.89% in 2009 to 3.29% in 2010.
Higher provisions for loan losses, which totaled $962,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared with $367,000 for the same period of 2009.
During the first quarter of 2009, Oceanside Bank reported a write-down of $179,000 on its investment in a correspondent bank, Silverton Bank, National Association. Silverton Bank was closed by federal regulators on May 1, 2009. There was no such loss in 2010.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Interest Income and Expense

Interest Income .  Interest income was $3,229,000 and $3,403,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decline of $174,000, or 5.1%. The decrease resulted principally from a decrease in yields on average interest-earning assets of 19 basis points and a decrease in average earning assets of $3.9 million, or 1.4%. The declining interest rate environment and the effect of increased nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and other real estate owned contributed to lower yields on average loans of 5.67% versus 5.98%, a decline of 31 basis points. Average loans, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, decreased to 73.6% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared with 77.6% in 2009. ABI’s active management of its investments and excess funds resulted in an increase in the yield from 2.71% to 3.32%, an increase of 61 basis points, or 22.5%. The percentage of higher yielding average investment securities and interest-bearing deposits to total interest-earning assets rose to 26.4% in 2010 from 22.4% in 2009.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense was $1,086,000 and $1,709,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. ABI’s average cost of funds for interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.90% in 2010 compared with 2.92% over the same period in 2009, an overall decline of 102 basis points. A decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities of $5.5 million, or 2.3%, and decreases in the overall interest rates in ABI’s market area, contributed to the decrease in ABI’s cost of funds. Certificates of deposit, with an average cost of funds of 2.19% in 2010 and 3.47% in 2009, represented 61.0% of ABI’s total interest-bearing liabilities in 2010 as compared with 59.5% in 2009. Interest-bearing demand deposits, with an average cost of funds of 1.05% in 2010 and 1.82% in 2009, represented 30.9% of ABI’s total interest-bearing liabilities in 2010 as compared with 32.6% in 2009.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Loan Losses .  Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $2,143,000 and $1,694,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2010 was 3.40% versus 2.69% in 2009, which reflected a more effective management of ABI’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities while maintaining an acceptable liquidity position.

The following table sets forth, on a taxable equivalent basis, the effect which varying levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable interest rates had on changes in net interest income for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. For purposes of this table, changes which are not solely attributable to volume or rate are allocated to volume and rate on a pro rata basis (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses

ABI recorded provisions for loan losses totaling $90,000 and $133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which management considered appropriate after its assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2010, ABI’s reserves were 2.62% of outstanding loans versus 3.25% at June 30, 2009, reflecting net charge-offs of $1.7 million for the quarter. Four loans accounted for 90% of the charge-offs in the quarter. Three loans were transferred to other real estate owned during the quarter.

Noninterest Income and Expenses

Noninterest Income.   Total noninterest income decreased by $69,000, or 25.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, to $205,000 compared with $274,000 for the same period in 2009. The second quarter of 2010 versus 2009 included a reduction in fees and service charges on deposit accounts of $51,000, or 32.3%, and of other fee income for banking services of $19,000, or 32.2%

Noninterest Expenses.   Management has taken steps to reduce noninterest expenses in areas in which it can, while maintaining the safety and soundness of ABI’s banking operations. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $70,000, or 9.9%, in the second quarter of 2010 over 2009. Advertising and business development expenses have been reduced, resulting in a decrease in noninterest expenses of $24,000. Pension expense was eliminated as a result of freezing the benefits in anticipation of the merger, resulting in a decrease of $85,000. Other components of noninterest expenses increased $391,000. The more significant increases were:

Increases of $25,000 for processing and settlement fees;
Higher professional, legal, and audit expenses of $137,000, most of which is attributable to merger-related expenses;
Increases in OREO and other loan collection expenses of $49,000, net of a $20,000 decrease in the write-down of other real estate owned; and
Increases in deposit insurance assessments of $180,000.

Benefit for Income Taxes .  The effective tax rates differ from the federal and state statutory rates of 37.6% principally due to nontaxable investment income for 2010 and 2009 and changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance. During the second quarter of 2010, ABI recognized deferred tax assets of $118,000 as a result of the level of deferred tax asset valuation allowance ABI considered necessary at June 30, 2010. Tax-exempt income was $160,000 for the second quarter of 2010 as compared with $168,000 in 2009.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Interest Income and Expense

Interest Income .  Interest income was $6,545,000 and $6,901,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decline of $356,000, or 5.2%. A decrease in yields on average interest-earning assets of 55 basis points more than offset the increase in average earning assets of $13.5 million, or 5.3%. A substantial portion of the increase was due to higher levels of interest-bearing deposits that contributed to the steep decline in yields for investment securities and interest-bearing deposits of 40 basis points. Average loans decreased $10.5 million over 2009, or 5.1%. The declining interest rate environment and the effect of increased nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and other real estate owned contributed to lower yields on average loans of 5.70% versus 6.07%, a decline of 37 basis points. Average loans, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, decreased to 73.2% in the first half of 2010 as compared with 81.2% in 2009. The percentage of lower yielding average investment securities and interest-bearing deposits to total interest-earning assets rose to 26.8% in 2010 from 18.4% in 2009.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense was $2,347,000 and $3,443,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. ABI’s average cost of funds for interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.00% in 2010 compared with 3.08% over the same period in 2009, an overall decline of 108 basis points. A shift in the mix of ABI’s interest-bearing deposits, along with decreases in the overall interest rates in ABI’s market area, contributed to the decrease in ABI’s cost of funds. Certificates of deposit, with an average cost of funds of 2.38% in 2010 and 3.73% in 2009, represented 58.1% of ABI’s total interest-bearing liabilities in 2010 as compared with 62.6% in 2009. The decline in average certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing liabilities was offset by increases in ABI’s interest-bearing demand deposits, with an average cost of funds of 1.16% in 2010 and 1.72% in 2009, representing 34.0% of ABI’s total interest-bearing liabilities in 2010 as compared with 28.9% in 2009.

Net Interest Income before Provision for Loan Losses .  Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $4,198,000 and $3,458,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net interest margin for the first six months of 2010 was 3.29% versus 2.89% in 2009, which reflected a more effective management of ABI’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities while maintaining an acceptable liquidity position.

Provision for Loan Losses

ABI recorded provisions for loan losses totaling $962,000 and $367,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which management considered appropriate after its assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2010, ABI’s reserves were 2.62% of outstanding loans reflecting net charge-offs of $2.5 million. Six loans accounted for 90% of the charge-offs and four loans were transferred to other real estate owned during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Noninterest Income and Expenses

Noninterest Income.   Total noninterest income increased by $77,000, or 23.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to $406,000 compared with $329,000 for the same period in 2009. The first half of 2010 versus 2009 included a reduction in fees and service charges on deposit accounts of $94,000, or 28.8%, and lower realized gain on the sale of securities of $35,000. These decreases were more than offset by a $179,000 loss on restricted stock in 2009 versus no such loss in 2010.

Noninterest Expenses.   Management has taken steps to reduce noninterest expenses in areas in which it can while maintaining the safety and soundness of ABI’s banking operations. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $100,000, or 6.9%, in the first half of 2010 over 2009. Expenses of bank premises and fixed assets decreased $19,000, or 3.7%. Advertising and business development and pension expenses have been reduced, resulting in a decrease in noninterest expenses of $218,000. Other components of noninterest expenses increased $679,000. The more significant increases were:

Increases of $22,000 for processing and settlement fees;
Higher professional, legal, and audit expenses of $195,000, most of which is attributable to merger-related expenses;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Highlights .  As of December 31, 2009, ABI had approximately $297.4 million in total assets, with $200.7 million in total loans, $270.0 million in deposits, and $9.7 million in stockholders’ equity.

The net loss in 2009 was $7,240,000 versus a net loss of $1,927,000 in 2008. The primary reasons for the change of $5,313,000 in 2009 over 2008 were as follows:

ABI’s income from average interest-earning assets decreased 9.4%.
ABI’s provision for loan losses increased $1,844,000, or 41.7%, over 2008.
Noninterest income declined $758,000, or 50.2% in 2009 over 2008.
Noninterest expenses grew $842,000, or 11.0%.
The establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance of $2,768,000 in 2009 caused the income tax provision to increase by $2,019,000.

Interest Income .  Interest income was $13,895,000 and $15,335,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease of $1.4 million resulted from a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets in 2009, which was partially offset by growth in ABI’s most significant interest-earning asset, loans, which grew 1.2% from average levels in 2008 to 2009. Average loans accounted for 81.9% of ABI’s average interest-earning assets in 2009 versus 83.9% in 2008. ABI’s overall yield on interest-earning assets of 5.68% was down from the 2008 level of 6.49% due to a lower interest rate environment throughout 2009. ABI’s overall yield on interest-earning assets in 2009 would have been 21 basis points higher, or 5.89%, if not for approximately $533,000 in income earned but not collected on nonaccrual loans.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense was $6.8 million and $8.39 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a result of the lower interest rate environment during 2009 which was partially offset by ABI’s growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of $33.5 million, or 15.7%, during this period, interest expense decreased 19.0%. ABI’s cost of funds dropped to 2.76% in 2009 compared with 3.94% in 2008. Substantially all of the decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in rates, which was partially offset by an increase in average demand deposits of $46.6 million, or 110.8%. A decrease in average certificates of deposit of $7.8 million, or 5.3%, and in average other borrowings of $5.2 million, or 24.8%, also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.

Net Interest Income .  Net interest income (before provision for loan losses) was $7,095,000 and $6,945,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of 2.2% from 2008 to 2009. The average balances, interest income and expense, and the average rates earned and paid for assets and liabilities are found in the tables that follow.

ABI’s net interest margin was lower (2.98% in 2009 compared with 3.03% in 2008), which reflects its growth in deposits, net of a decrease in other borrowings, of $33.5 million, or 15.7%, versus a slower rate of growth for interest-earning assets of $9.1 million, or 3.8%. The increase in net interest income of $150,000 was impacted by the significant increase in lower earning demand deposits and decreased by the declining rates.

Provision for Loan Losses .  A provision for loan losses of $6,268,000 was recorded in 2009, reflecting ABI’s assessment of the needed level of the allowance for loan losses. This assessment is based on management’s evaluation of probable loan losses and considers the overall quality of the loan portfolio. The increase in the provision for loan losses in 2009 versus the 2008 level of $4,424,000 was due to unfavorable trends in most measures of loan portfolio quality, including the growth in impaired, nonaccrual, and other restructured loans. Net charge-offs in 2009 were $3,736,000 as compared with $2,594,000 in 2008, an increase of $1,142,000.

Noninterest Income .  Noninterest income decreased $758,000, or 50.2%, to $751,000 in 2009 from $1,509,000 in 2008 primarily as a result of:

A decrease in gains on the sale of securities from $346,000 to $56,000;
Losses on the sale of foreclosed assets of $142,000 in 2009 versus a gain of $4,000 in 2008; and

A loss of $179,000 on restricted stock issued by a correspondent bank that was taken over by the FDIC in 2009.

Noninterest Expenses .  Total noninterest expenses increased to $8,491,000 in 2009 compared to $7,649,000 for 2008, an increase of $842,000, or 11.0%. The more significant increases during 2009 over 2008 follow:

The cost of deposit insurance assessments soared from $229,000 in 2008 to $1,014,000 in 2009, an increase of $785,000, or 342.8%, as a result of increased assessments from the FDIC.
Processing and settlement fees increased from $773,000 in 2008 to $836,000 in 2009, an increase of $63,000, or 8.2%. Through 2008, statements were rendered in-house and the expense was recorded as postage, stationery, and supplies. At the beginning of 2009, the statement rendering process was outsourced and all related costs were recorded as processing and settlement fees. As a result, there was a reduction in postage, stationery, and supplies in 2009.
ABI expensed $177,000 in 2009 for costs to raise capital to meet regulatory requirements versus $-0- in 2008.
The write-down of other real estate owned totaled $586,000 in 2009 versus $315,000 in 2008, as a result of the continued decline in real estate values in 2009.
Professional, legal, and accounting fees were $589,000 in 2009 versus $459,000 in 2008, an increase of $130,000, or 28.3%, as a result of increased costs of corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and addressing regulatory enforcement actions.

As a result of cost-cutting measures to improve profitability, the following costs decreased during 2009:

Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $282,000, or 9.0%.
Expenses of bank premises and fixed assets decreased by $63,000, or 5.8%.
Directors fees were eliminated, decreasing costs by $78,000.
Advertising and business development decreased by $50,000, or 34.5%. Stationery, printing, and supplies decreased by $36,000, or 33.6%.

Provision for Income Taxes.   The income tax provision was $327,000 for 2009, an effective rate of (4.7)%. This compares with an effective rate of 46.8% for 2008. The effective tax rate for 2009 differs from the federal and state statutory rates principally due to the establishment of a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset of $2,768,000. The effective tax rate in 2008 differs from the federal and state statutory rates principally due to nontaxable investment income.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Highlights .  As of December 31, 2008, ABI had grown to approximately $268.0 million in total assets, with $207.1 million in total loans, $239.8 million in deposits, and $16.9 million in stockholders’ equity.

The net loss in 2008 was $1,927,000 versus net income of $1,406,000 in 2007. The primary reasons for the change of $3,333,000 in 2008 over 2007 were as follows:

Interest and fees on loans totaled $13,637,000 in 2008 compared with $15,255,000 in 2007, a decrease of $1,618,000, or 10.6%. Other interest income also declined $415,000 in 2008 over 2007, or 19.6%.
ABI’s income from average interest-earning assets decreased 11.7%.
ABI’s total interest expense decreased $1,201,000, or 12.5%.
Net interest income declined by $832,000 in 2008 from 2007.
Noninterest income grew $390,000, or 34.9% in 2008 over 2007.
Noninterest expenses grew $1,236,000, or 19.3%.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Interest Income .  Interest income was $15,335,000 and $17,368,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease of $2.0 million resulted from a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets in 2008, which was partially offset by growth in ABI’s most significant interest-earning asset, loans, which grew 8.6% from average levels in 2007 to 2008. Average loans accounted for 83.9% of ABI’s average interest-earning assets in 2008 versus 80.4% in 2007. ABI’s overall yield on interest-earning assets of 6.49% was down from the 2007 level of 7.60% due to a lower interest rate environment throughout 2008. ABI’s overall yield on interest-earning assets in 2008 would have been 7 basis points higher, or 6.56%, if not for approximately $176,000 in income earned but not collected on nonaccrual loans.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense was $8,390,000 and $9,591,000 in 2008 and 2007, respectively. As a result of the lower interest rate environment during 2008 which was partially offset by ABI’s growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of $13.9 million, or 7.0%, during this period, interest expense decreased 12.5%. ABI’s cost of funds dropped to 3.94% in 2008 compared with 4.82% in 2007. Substantially all of the decrease in interest expense was attributable to a decrease in rates, which was partially offset by an increase in average certificates of deposit of $17.3 million, or 13.4%.

Net Interest Income .  Net interest income (before provision for loan losses) was $6,945,000 and $7,777,000 for 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of 10.7% from 2007 to 2008. The average balances, interest income and expense, and the average rates earned and paid for assets and liabilities are found in the tables that follow.

ABI’s net interest margin was lower (3.03% in 2008 compared with 3.49% in 2007), which reflects the smaller decrease in its cost of funds (88 basis points) versus the decrease in its yield on interest-earning assets (111 basis points). The decrease in net interest income of $832,000 was impacted by the declining rate environment, while the net interest margin was most impacted by the increase in certificates of deposit of 13.4%. Certificates of deposit account for 76.5% of all interest-bearing deposits in 2008 as compared with 73.5% in 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses .  A provision for loan losses of $4,424,000 was recorded in 2008, reflecting ABI’s assessment of the needed level of the allowance for loan losses. This assessment is based on management’s evaluation of probable loan losses and considers the overall quality of the loan portfolio. The increase in the provision for loan losses in 2008 versus the 2007 level of $629,000 was due to unfavorable trends in most measures of loan portfolio quality, including the growth in impaired and nonaccrual loans and other nonperforming assets, which increased $4.2 million in 2008, or 65.9%. Other real estate owned of $3.4 million at December 31, 2008, accounted for 81.1% of the increase. Included in other real estate owned is a condominium development at Jacksonville Beach with nine units remaining at December 31, 2008. Of the original 14 units acquired in foreclosure in the first quarter of 2008, five units sold in the remainder of 2008, leaving a carrying value of $2.0 million at December 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, two additional units have sold for net proceeds in excess of the individual carrying value of the units sold. Net charge-offs in 2008 were $2,594,000 as compared with $59,000 in 2007, an increase of $2,535,000.

Noninterest Income .  Noninterest income increased $390,000, or 34.9%, to $1,509,000 in 2008 from $1,119,000 in 2007 primarily as a result of gains on the sale of securities of $346,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Noninterest Expenses .  Total noninterest expenses increased to $7,649,000 in 2008 compared to $6,413,000 for 2007, an increase of $1,236,000, or 19.3%. The more significant increases during 2008 over 2007 follow:

Expenses related to other real estate owned totaled $807,000 in 2008 versus $-0- in 2007, as a result of losses and ongoing expenses on properties that Oceanside Bank obtained title in 2008.
Professional, legal, and audit fees were $459,000 in 2008 versus $264,000 in 2007, an increase of $195,000, or 73.9%, as a result of increased costs of corporate governance and regulatory compliance matters.

Pension expense totaled $294,000 in 2008, an increase of 63.3% from 2007. This increase of $114,000 was more than offset by the net increase in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies, which totaled $206,000.
Regulatory assessments increased by $60,000, or 35.5%, from 2007 to 2008 due to increased cost of maintaining the FDIC insurance fund.

Provision for Income Taxes.   The income tax benefit was $1,692,000 for 2008, an effective rate of 46.8%. This compares with an effective rate of 24.2% for 2007. The effective tax rates in 2008 and 2007 differ from the federal and state statutory rates principally due to nontaxable investment income. The growth of tax-exempt income in 2008 over 2007 of 13.1%, compared with the overall decline in taxable interest, which contributed to the swing in the effective tax rate.

Loan Portfolio

Average loans receivable were $206,188,000 for the year 2009 as compared to $203,675,000 for 2008, an increase of 1.2%. The year-to-year average increase in 2008 over 2007 was 8.6%. Management believes the growth in loans was directly attributable to the growth in ABI’s branch network, community acceptance, and the reputations of ABI’s lending team despite a significant downturn in economic conditions in ABI’s market area during 2009 and 2008. The following provides an analysis of ABI’s loan distribution at the end of 2005 – 2009. Loans that are secured by real estate include residential and nonresidential mortgages and home equity loans to individuals.

Asset Quality

Generally, interest on loans accrues and is credited to income based upon the principal balance outstanding. Management’s policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify a loan as nonaccrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not adequately collateralized, or when in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance. Consumer installment loans are generally charged-off after 90 days of delinquency unless adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Loans are not returned to accrual status until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain.

Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as other real estate owned. Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs, and the estimated loss, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses at the time the loan is transferred to other real estate owned. Further allowances for losses in other real estate owned are recorded at the time management believes additional deterioration in value has occurred. Gains or losses on the sale of other real estate owned are recognized in the period closed. However, gains on the sale of units in a real estate development project may be deferred until management is reasonably certain that its investment in the remaining units will not result in losses. For example, regulatory guidelines require that ABI value real estate development projects of five or more units at its appraised bulk sale value. Since the units may not be identical in size, location, or amenities, any allocation of the total bulk sale value to individual units is arbitrary. Furthermore, if ABI has taken over a real estate development, it may have ongoing expenditures that benefit sold and remaining units. Accordingly, ABI may view the real estate development as one project and only record gains when it is assured that no significant losses are inherent in the remaining units.

During the first quarter of 2008, ABI foreclosed on a 17-unit condominium project in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. At the time of foreclosure, 14 units remained unsold. Subsequent to ABI’s acquisition of this OREO, it sold two units in the first quarter of 2008 ($69,000 estimated gain), one unit in the second quarter of 2008 ($18,000 estimated gain), and two units in the fourth quarter of 2008 ($3,000 estimated gain). The estimated potential gains of approximately $90,000 were based on an arbitrary allocation of total carrying value divided by square footage. However, because ABI was not reasonably certain that its remaining investment would be recovered from sales of the remaining nine units, no gain was recorded on the sale of the five units during 2008. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2008, due to ongoing expenditures in the project and continued

deterioration in the local real estate market, ABI recorded a charge to earnings of $315,000, leaving a carrying value of $2,022,000 at December 31, 2008. This carrying value was based on management’s estimate of the fair value less costs to sell the remaining 9 units. Accordingly, no deferred gain existed at December 31, 2008. ABI did not believe it prudent to record gains on the sale of the five units while posting a write-down on the remaining nine units within the same calendar year given the uncertainty over the carrying value of this OREO in this economic environment.

In the first half of 2009, two additional units were sold ($97,000 estimated gain), leaving seven remaining units at December 31, 2009, with a current carrying value of $1,273,000 (net of write-downs totaling $300,000 in December 2009).

Accounting Standards Codification 310-10-35, Receivables , considers a loan to be impaired if it is probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. If a loan is considered impaired, its value generally should be measured based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. As a practical expedient, however, the loan’s value may be based on:

the loan’s market price; or
the discounted fair value of the loan’s collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if the collateral is expected to be the sole source of repayment.

If the value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a loss should be recognized by recording a valuation allowance and a corresponding increase to the provision for loan losses.

Situations may occur where:

ABI receives physical possession of a debtor’s assets regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have been initiated or completed; or
the debtor has effectively surrendered control of the underlying collateral in contemplation of foreclosure.

These situations are referred to as “in-substance foreclosures.” GAAP recognizes the practical problems of accounting for the operation of an asset the creditor does not possess, and states that a loan for which foreclosure is probable should continue to be accounted for as a loan.

ABI has developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of its credit portfolio and the timely identification of potential problem loans. ABI’s judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events that ABI believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not be required.

Asset Classification.   Commercial banks are required to review and, when appropriate, classify their assets on a regular basis. The State of Florida and the FDIC have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified or require a harsher classification than management has assessed. There are three classifications for problem (or classified) assets: substandard, doubtful, and loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution establishes a specific reserve for the full amount of the portion of the asset classified as loss. All or a portion of general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified as substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Assets that do not warrant classification in the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses, are classified by ABI as special mention and monitored. ABI also monitors other loans based on a variety of factors and internally designate these loans with risk grades reflective of its estimated level of risk.

Management monitors ABI’s loan portfolio throughout the month for classification changes. Each quarter, ABI performs a detailed internal review to determine an appropriate level of reserves to set aside for probable losses in its loan portfolio. ABI supplements its internal reviews with semiannual external loan review performed by an independent public accounting firm. The regulatory agencies also have the authority to require additional levels of reserves if they deem necessary despite management’s best efforts to establish an appropriate level of reserves consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Sometimes ABI’s collective assessments from internal and loan reviews may differ from the regulatory assessment.

For regulatory and internal reporting purposes including its ALLL methodology, ABI tracks the following loan pools or loan types: commercial real estate, residential real estate, commercial, and consumer and other loans. For regulatory and ALLL purposes, the following summarizes ABI’s classified loans at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 (dollars in thousands)

Allowance for Loan Losses .  The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against income. Loans are charged against the allowance when ABI believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. The provision is an estimated amount that ABI believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on evaluations of its collectibility. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and commitments, and current anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While ABI uses the best information available to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the provision may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. A summary of balances in the allowance for loan losses and key ratios follows (dollars in thousands):

ABI’s management maintains a list of monitored loans risk-rated substandard or lower (referred to as “classified loans”). At June 30, 2010, ABI had 67 loans totaling approximately $28.6 million classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss. At June 30, 2010, management had provided specific reserves totaling $3.4 million for loans risk-rated substandard or worse. ABI’s internally-classified loans decreased 7.4% from December 31, 2009, levels of $30.8 million. ABI’s nonperforming assets also decreased 1.3%, which included an increase in other real estate owned and foreclosed assets of $0.8 million, or 44.6%, and a decrease in nonperforming loans of $0.9 million, or 13.1%, principally due to four loans transferred to other real estate owned.

Included in ABI’s total classified loans of $28.6 million, ABI internally monitors classified loans that ABI believes continue to meet the regulatory definition of performing loans. While ABI may experience losses, many of these loans are believed to be well-secured and making payments.

At December 31, 2009, management had 57 classified loans totaling approximately $30.8 million, as compared with 50 classified loans totaling $28.5 million at December 31, 2008, 28 classified loans totaling $8.0 million at December 31, 2007, and 15 classified loans totaling $4.5 million at December 31, 2006.

Many of the loans risk-rated substandard are currently performing with no expectation that ABI will suffer any loss; however, ABI monitors these loans because some of them are collateral-dependent and the current status of the borrower’s liquidity and cash flow have not been confirmed. Because some of these loans exhibit well-defined credit weaknesses, ABI may incur losses if the underlying collateral declines in value beyond its expectations or the borrower’s financial condition deteriorates and payments are not made as agreed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Twelve loan relationships accounted for 95% of the classified loans and 2 foreclosed real estate properties accounted for 85% of the other classified assets. The composition of these loan relationships and other real estate owned (each in excess of $500,000) follows (dollars in thousands):

       
  Classified Loans   OREO
Commercial real estate   $ 19,989       85 %     $ 2,444       76 %  
Residential real estate     880       4 %       790       24 %  
Commercial     2,557       11 %             0 %  
Consumer and other loans           0 %             0 %  
     $ 23,426       100 %     $ 3,234       100 %  

Twelve of the classified loans were on nonaccrual status, which amounted to 30% of the classified loans, and six other loans were past due, or 11% of the classified loans. The issues identified by the FDIC that gave rise to the loan classifications included:

Weakening economic conditions in Oceanside’s real estate market,
Inappropriate concentrations of commercial real estate, which was slightly over the regulatory guidelines at the time of the FDIC November 2008 Exam,
The likelihood of continued asset deterioration,
Loans with little or no principal reductions (including interest-only loans),
Loans originated to renovate or develop real estate where the project had stalled because of the significant downturn in Oceanside’s trade area,
Slow or stalled sales of real estate collateral,
Marginal or insufficient collateral coverage, and
Strained borrower and/or guarantor cash flow and liquidity due to the recent downturn in the economy, the falling stock market, and rising unemployment.

Since the identification of classified assets by the FDIC in its November 2008 Exam, ABI has disposed of approximately 58% of the original balances (see below). Of this net reduction, approximately 43% was related to improved performance and risk-rating of the formerly classified loan and approximately 38% was attributable to charge-offs or write-downs taken on the classified assets. Of the $5.5 million of charge-offs and write-downs, two loans accounted for $4.2 million and one foreclosed real estate project totaled $1.1 million. The largest OREO classified asset, which started out at $2.4 million, has two remaining units under contract for sale at the end of the second quarter of 2010 with no additional losses anticipated. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, one of the two units under contract was sold and closed.

Based on ABI’s ongoing monitoring of the classified assets identified by the FDIC, ABI does not anticipate significant additional losses in excess of the specific reserves at June 30, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

   
     Amount   % of

Subtotal     11,794           
Specific reserves     (898 )       8 %  
Net   $ 10,896        

ABI is also ahead of the FDIC target of reducing these classified assets to below 85% of Tier 1 capital plus ALLL by reaching 79.4% in less than 180 days from the date of the Consent Order. While ABI cannot predict whether it will continue to meet these targets, the further reduction in ABI’s largest classified OREO project in the third quarter of 2010 should help meet the next target of 60% within 270 days of the Consent Order.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In developing the level of ALLL at each quarter end, ABI evaluated the substandard loans classified by the FDIC for impairment in the same manner as discussed elsewhere in this filing. Specifically, ABI obtains updated appraisals or evaluations periodically and assesses each quarter any needed reserves as required under ASC 310-10-35 (formerly SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan ). Throughout the quarter, ABI’s special assets officer monitors and updates values as needed. Since six loan relationships comprise 98% of the remaining classified loan balances of $11.8 million at June 30, 2010, ABI is able to give substantial attention and consideration of these specific loans in developing ABI’s ALLL calculation. Also, because, the balance in these loans classified by the FDIC declined more rapidly than scheduled in the Consent Order, these classified loans represent approximately 41% of the loans evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2010, and the level of specific reserves allocated to these loans of $898,000 was approximately 18% of the total ALLL at June 30, 2010.

Additional Disclosures — Higher Risk Loans.   Certain types of loans, such as option ARM products, junior lien mortgages, high loan-to-value ratio mortgages, interest only loans (which are generally associated with construction and development loans), subprime loans, and loans with initial teaser rates, can have a greater risk of non-collection than other loans. ABI has not engaged in the practice of lending in the subprime market or offering loans with initial teaser rates and option ARM products.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Substantially all ABI’s loans are in its trade area and have been affected by economic and real estate trends in North Florida. ABI’s increases in past due loans, nonperforming assets, charge-offs, and allowance for loan losses over historical levels are directly related to declines in real estate activity, collateral values, and other negative economic trends such as rising unemployment. ABI monitors a number of key ratios to identify risks and focus management efforts to mitigate its exposure. ABI monitors loans in excess of federal supervisory loan-to-value limits. Such loans totaled $7.3 million and $9.2 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Delinquency amounts and delinquency amounts expressed as a percentage of total loans for each loan classification are as follows:

The following shows the increases (decreases) in delinquent loans at December 31, 2009, as compared with December 31, 2008. While ABI cannot predict future trends in delinquencies, ABI has noted improvements in commercial real estate loans and the overall reduction in loans past due 30-89 days will likely improve charge-offs over time.

ABI has been consistent in its practice of determining its allowance for loan losses with only minor refinements in establishing reserves for its performing loans. ABI considers the following in establishing reserves on loans other than impaired loans, which are assigned a specific reserve and/or charged-down to estimated fair value less costs to liquidate:

Recent historical loss data over the past five quarters is used as a starting point for estimating current losses;
ABI considers various economic and other qualitative factors affecting loan quality including changes in:
º the volume (and trends) of delinquent and monitored loans,
º lending policies,
º underlying collateral values,
º concentrations in risk and levels of concentration risks,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

º quality of internal and external loan reviews, which includes risk-rating ABI’s loans according to federal regulatory guidelines,
º competition and regulatory factors,
º lending staff experience,
º business and economic conditions, and
º other factors.
In developing loss factors, ABI considers both internal historical data and external data such as changes in leading economic indicators, consumer price indices, delinquencies, employment data, cap rates, occupancy levels, rental rates, and single-family homes and condominium sales prices and sales activity.

ABI maintains formal policies that it believes are consistent with federal regulatory guidance for identifying and quantifying risks related to loan quality and other related matters including but not limited to:

the frequency of internal and external loan reviews;
obtaining appraisals or evaluations for monitored loans;
classifying loans from accrual to nonaccrual status (which is typically done when a loan reaches 90 days past due unless well-secured and in process of collection);
recognizing loan charge-offs on impaired loans; and
exercising judgment in determining the allowance for loan losses consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

ABI’s methodology for determining the ASC Topic 310, Subtopic 10 and ASC Topic 450, Subtopic 10 components of the ALLL tracks its four major loan pools. ABI’s board of directors has approved this methodology and ABI has undergone recent regulatory examinations that have agreed with the use of the four loan pools shown in the accompanying tables. Accordingly, ABI believes to further refine its methodology (and obtain historical data) would not meaningfully enhance its disclosures and would increase its costs to monitor its ALLL without any significant benefits.

Highly leveraged transactions generally include loans and commitments made in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, and leveraged buyouts, and result in the borrower’s debt-to-total assets ratio exceeding 75%. At December 31, 2005-2009, there were no loans qualified as highly leveraged transactions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Loans restructured and in compliance with modified terms are commonly referred to as “debt restructurings.” A restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if a creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor it would not otherwise consider. A summary of nonperforming assets and restructured loans follows.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The amount charged to operations and the related balance in the allowance for loan losses is based upon periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio by management. These evaluations consider several factors including but not limited to, current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior credit loss experience, trends in portfolio volume, and management’s estimation of future potential losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Securities

Financial institutions classify their investment securities as either “held-to-maturity” or “available-for-sale.” Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized or accreted cost and include those securities that a bank has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which are those securities that a bank intends to hold for an indefinite amount of time, but not necessarily to maturity, are carried at fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, reported as a component of the stockholders’ equity on a bank’s balance sheet. ABI’s investment securities consist of residential real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”) and residential mortgage pass-through securities (“MBS”) all of which are issued or guaranteed by U.S. Capital Government agencies such as FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA. The following tables set forth the carrying amount of securities at the dates indicated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Deposits

Deposits are the major source of ABI’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. Deposits are attracted principally from within ABI’s assessment area through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificate accounts (including “jumbo” certificates in denominations of $100,000 or more), and retirement savings plans.

Maturity terms, service charges, and withdrawal penalties are established by management on a periodic basis. The determination of rates and terms is predicated on loan funding and liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals, and federal regulations.

The FDIC regulations limit the ability of certain insured depository institutions to accept, renew, or rollover deposits by offering rates of interest that are significantly higher than the prevailing rates of interest on deposits offered by other insured depository institutions having the same type of charter in such depository institutions’ normal market area. Under these regulations, “well-capitalized” depository institutions may accept, renew, or rollover deposits at such rates without restriction, “adequately capitalized” depository institutions may accept, renew or rollover deposits at such rates with a waiver from the FDIC (subject to certain restrictions on payments and rates), and “undercapitalized” depository institutions may not accept, renew or rollover deposits at such rates. The regulations contemplate that the definitions of “well- capitalized,” “adequately capitalized” and “undercapitalized” will be the same as the definitions adopted by the agencies to implement the prompt corrective action provisions of applicable law. See “Description of Business/Supervision and Regulation.” As of December 31, 2008, Oceanside Bank met the definition of a “well-capitalized” depository institution. However, as of December 31, 2009, Oceanside Bank no longer met the “well-capitalized” classification, and under the Consent Order is restricted on rates and types of deposits ABI can accept, renew, or rollover. For this reason, ABI has increased its liquid assets to repay certain deposits as they mature.

ABI’s primary source of funds is deposit accounts that include both interest- and noninterest-bearing demand, savings, and time deposits under $100,000 (referred to as “core deposits”). At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, these core deposits accounted for approximately 83%, 78%, and 73%, respectively, of all deposits. At December 31, 2009, time deposits under $100,000 accounted for approximately 37% of these core deposits as compared with money market deposits at 41% and noninterest-bearing demand deposits at 16%. This compares with 2008 levels of 50%, 15%, and 23%, respectively, and with 2007 levels of 55%, 23%, and 17%, respectively. At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, jumbo certificates of deposit (time deposits $100,000 and greater) represented approximately 17%, 22%, and 27%, respectively, of total deposits. At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, time deposits outstanding in an individual amount of $100,000 or more totaled $46,665,000, $51,771,000, and $57,785,000, respectively.

Interest-bearing demand accounts, consisting of NOW and money market accounts, averaged $88,744,000 for the year ended 2009, $42,108,000 for the year ended 2008, and $42,858,000 for the year ended 2007, or approximately 34%, 19%, and 21% of average total deposits in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

FHLB of Atlanta Advances.   Oceanside Bank has obtained advances from FHLB totaling $12.3 million collateralized by Oceanside Bank’s FHLB capital stock in the amount of $1,126,000 and a blanket lien on eligible qualifying government securities with original par values of $19.0 million and current market values of $13.9 million at June 30, 2010. Prior to February 4, 2010, Oceanside Bank had pledged qualifying mortgages. $4.3 million of the advances mature in 2010, and $8.0 million mature in 2012. The advances have fixed interest rates ranging from 1.91% to 4.45%.

Junior Subordinated Debentures.   On September 15, 2005, ABI issued $3,093,000 of fixed-rate junior subordinated debentures (the “debt securities”) to Atlantic BancGroup Statutory Trust I, a statutory trust created under the laws of the State of Delaware. These debt securities are subordinated to effectively all borrowings of ABI and are due and payable in thirty years.

Other Short-term Borrowings .  Oceanside Bank purchases federal funds for liquidity needs during the year. At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, federal fund purchases were $-0-, $-0-, and $4,372,000, respectively.

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves monitoring the sources and uses of funds in order to meet ABI’s 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. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different statements of financial condition components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of the investment portfolio is very predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control. Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets that are readily marketable, which can be pledged, or which will mature in the near future. Liability liquidity is provided by access to core funding sources, principally the ability to generate customer deposits in ABI’s market area. In addition, liability liquidity is provided through the ability to borrow against approved lines of credit (federal funds purchased) from correspondent banks and to borrow on a secured basis through securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

ABI’s principal source of funds comes from Oceanside Bank’s operations, including net increases in deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, and proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities. ABI uses its capital resources principally to fund existing and continuing loan commitments, purchase investment securities, and meet other contractual obligations.

Liquidity management involves meeting the funds flow requirements of customers who may either be depositors wanting to withdraw funds, or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Liquid assets consist of vault cash, securities, and principal paydowns of other interest-earning assets. ABI’s principal sources of asset liquidity are federal funds sold and the securities portfolio, including principal paydowns from Residential mortgage pass-through securities. In 2009, 2008, and 2007, principal paydowns from Residential mortgage pass-through securities totaled $6,778,000, $7,163,000, and $6,601,000, respectively.

Other sources of funds are principal paydowns and maturities in the loan portfolio. The contractual loan maturity table herein illustrates the maturities of loans receivable at December 31, 2009.

ABI also has sources of liability liquidity that include core deposits as previously discussed and access to borrowed funds including overnight federal funds and customer repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2009, ABI had approximately $10.0 million available from these sources. As mentioned elsewhere, increased competition for all funding sources has reduced ABI’s liquidity.

At December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, ABI’s liquidity ratio of liquid assets to transaction deposit accounts was 25.2%, 20.5%, and 10.9%, respectively. Management believes that ABI’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its anticipated needs. At December 31, 2009, brokered deposits totaled $19,098,000, which represented 7.1% of total deposits.

ABI expects to meet its liquidity needs with:

Available cash, including both interest and noninterest-bearing balances, and federal funds sold, which totaled $33.1 million at June 30, 2010;
The repayment of loans, which include loans with a remaining maturity or repricing of one year or less (excluding those in nonaccrual status) totaling $73.3 million;
Proceeds of unpledged securities available-for-sale and principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities;
Retention of and growth in deposits; and
If necessary, borrowing against approved lines of credit and other alternative funding strategies.

Short-Term Investments.   Short-term investments (which consist of federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits, and investment securities maturing in three months or less) were $24.8 million at June 30, 2010, as compared to $31.7 at December 31, 2009. ABI regularly reviews its 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 statement of financial condition and funding from non-core sources. To further enhance ABI’s liquidity, ABI has developed alternative funding strategies that have been approved by ABI’s board of directors. At June 30, 2010, alternate funding strategies included (dollars in thousands):

 
Lines of credit to purchase federal funds:
        
Secured   $ 8,000

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 .  In October 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was signed into law. The EESA temporarily revises the federal deposit insurance laws by increasing the basic deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. With the passage of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on July 21, 2010, the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 per depositor per insured bank has been made permanent. The EESA also authorized the United States Department of the Treasury to implement programs to provide financial assistance and/or support to financial institutions. ABI has not participated in any such programs.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds .  In addition to deposits, the sources of funds available for lending and other business purposes include loan repayments, loan sales, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and advances under lines of credit to purchase federal funds. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are influenced significantly by 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.

Core Deposits .  Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for ABI’s loan portfolio and other earning assets. ABI had core deposits totaling $173.3 million at June 30, 2010, and $223.3 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of 22.4%. This decrease in core deposits was attributed to:

ABI’s liquidity targets were met without renewing higher-priced deposits as they matured and were settled;
A shift of core deposits (money market and NOW accounts) to higher-priced time deposits, $100,000 and over; and
The overall reduction in total assets of $23.2 million.

Customers with large certificates of deposit tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. Some financial institutions acquire funds in part through large certificates of deposit obtained through brokers. These brokered deposits have been historically expensive and unreliable as long-term funding sources. Pursuant to the Consent Order, ABI is prohibited, throughout the life of the Consent Order, from accepting, renewing, or rolling over any brokered deposits, and must comply with the restrictions on the effective yields on deposits exceeding national averages. Brokered certificates of deposit issued by ABI totaled $13.2 million at June 30, 2010, and $19.1 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of 30.9%.

ABI uses its resources principally to fund existing and continuing loan commitments and to purchase investment securities. At June 30, 2010, ABI had commitments to extend credit totaling $8.8 million, and had issued, but unused, standby letters of credit of $1.2 million for the same period. In addition, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit during the twelve months following June 30, 2010, total $111.0 million. ABI believes that resources exist to fund all its anticipated commitments.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital .  ABI is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on ABI’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, ABI must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. FDIC’s Prompt Corrective Action regulations are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require ABI to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). At June 30, 2010, Oceanside Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):

       
  Actual   Required by Consent Order
     Amount   %   Amount   %
Total capital to risk-weighted assets   $ 15,110       8.20 %     $ 20,274       11.00 %  
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets   $ 12,773       6.93 %              
Tier 1 capital to average assets   $ 12,773       4.64 %     $ 22,021       8.00 %  

At June 30, 2010, Oceanside Bank did not meet the required ratios under the Consent Order. Notes 1 and 9 to ABI’s consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus discuss events that may affect Oceanside Bank’s required level of capital to maintain in the future.

Management believes that ABI has adequate resources to fund all its commitments and contractual obligations. If so desired, ABI can adjust the rates and terms on certificates of deposit and other deposit accounts to attract deposits and fund additional commitments (subject to Consent Order restrictions). Other alternative funding sources include additional overnight purchases of federal funds and customer repurchase agreements, if necessary. ABI also maintain investments that could be liquidated if needed.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Resources

Historically, ABI has placed a significant emphasis on maintaining a strong capital base. The capital resources consist of two major components of regulatory capital, stockholders’ equity and the allowance for loan losses. Current capital guidelines issued by federal regulatory authorities require a company to meet minimum risk-based capital ratios in an effort to make regulatory capital more responsive to the risk exposure related to a company’s on- and off-balance sheet items.

Risk-based capital guidelines re-define the components of capital, categorize assets into risk classes, and include certain off-balance sheet items in the calculation of capital requirements. The components of risk-based capital are segregated as Tier 1 and total risk-based capital. Tier 1 capital is composed of total stockholders’ equity reduced by goodwill, other intangible assets, and certain limitations on the levels of ALLL and deferred tax assets. Total risk-based capital includes Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and any qualifying debt obligations. Regulators also have adopted minimum requirements of 4% of Tier 1 capital and 8% of risk-adjusted assets in total capital. However, under the Consent Order ABI must maintain a ratio of 11% of risk-adjusted assets to total capital.

ABI is also subject to leverage capital requirements. This requirement compares capital (using the definition of Tier 1 capital) to balance sheet assets and is intended to supplement the risk-based capital ratio in measuring capital adequacy. The guidelines set a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for depository institutions that are highly rated in terms of safety and soundness, and which are not experiencing or anticipating any significant growth. Other depository institutions are expected to maintain capital levels of at least 1% or 2% above the minimum. However, under the Consent Order, ABI must maintain an 8% Tier 1 leverage ratio. ABI’s actual capital amounts, capital ratios, and leverage ratios at December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 (Oceanside Bank Only), are reflected in the table below.

Tier 1 leverage ratio     4.06 %       7.25 %       8.53 %  

Accordingly, at December 31, 2009, ABI did not meet the capital ratios required in the Consent Order of total risk-based capital of 11% and Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8%.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Trust Preferred Securities.   On September 15, 2005, ABI entered into a transaction commonly referred to as trust preferred securities. Subject to percentage limitations, the proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities are considered Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes, which totaled $3.0 million (net of ABI’s investment in the unconsolidated subsidiary). However, as a result of the issuance of FIN 46 and FIN 46R, the trust subsidiary is not consolidated in these financial statements, and therefore the proceeds received by ABI from the trust subsidiary are reported as junior subordinated debentures. In 2005, the Federal Reserve Board ruled that, notwithstanding the deconsolidation of such trusts, junior subordinated debentures, such as those issued by ABI, may continue to constitute up to 25% of a bank holding company’s Tier 1 capital. During the second quarter of 2009, ABI discontinued paying the interest on the junior subordinated debentures and owed $109,000 at December 31, 2009.

Capital Analysis:

     
  For the Year Ended December 31,
     2009   2008   2007
Average equity as a percentage of average assets     5.31 %       7.14 %       7.30 %  
Equity to total assets at end of year     3.26       6.32       7.21  
Return on average equity     -45.70       -10.37       7.77  
Return on average assets     -2.43       -0.74       0.57  
Noninterest expenses to average assets     2.85       2.94       2.59  

Stockholders’ equity is adjusted for the effect of unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, on securities classified as available-for-sale. Stockholders’ equity decreased $7,252,000 and $1,924,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively, and increased $1,605,000 in 2007, as follows (dollars in thousands):

     
  2009   2008   2007
Net income (loss)   $ (7,240 )     $ (1,927 )     $ 1,406  
Change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities     (12 )       83       199  
Implementation of EITF 06-4 for indexed retirement plan           (80 )        
     $ (7,252 )     $ (1,924 )     $ 1,605  
Return on average equity     -45.70 %       -10.37 %       7.77 %  

The decrease in return on average equity in 2009 and 2008 is the result of lower earnings for each year due to a decrease in net interest income resulting from increased competition for deposits and lower yields on interest-earning assets and the increased allowances for loan losses to reflect higher nonperforming loans and lower collateral values particularly in the real estate market in which ABI operates. For 2009, earnings were further depressed by the establishment of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance totaling $2.8 million.

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

JBI must comply with state and federal banking laws and regulations that control virtually all aspects of its operations. These laws and regulations generally aim to protect its depositors, not its shareholders or its creditors. Any changes in applicable laws or regulations may materially affect its business and prospects. Such legislative or regulatory changes may also affect its operations. The following description summarizes some of the laws and regulations to which JBI is subject. References to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries, do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.

JBI

JBI is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a financial holding company under Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”) and is registered with the Federal Reserve as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”). As a result, JBI is subject to supervisory regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve. The GLB Act, or the BHCA, and other federal laws subject financial holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations.

Permitted Activities

The GLB Act, enacted on November 12, 1999, amended the BHCA by: (i) allowing bank holding companies that qualify as “financial holding companies” to engage in a broad range of financial and related activities; (ii) allowing insurers and other financial service companies to acquire banks; (iii) removing restrictions that applied to bank holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and (iv) establishing the overall regulatory scheme applicable to bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations. The general effect of the law was to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers. Activities that are financial in nature are broadly defined to include not only banking, insurance, and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial activities, or complementary activities that do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.

In contrast to financial holding companies, bank holding companies are limited to managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve determines by regulation or order to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Except for the activities relating to financial holding companies permissible under the GLB Act, these restrictions apply to JBI. In determining whether a particular activity is permissible, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the performance of such an activity reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects. Possible benefits include greater convenience, increased competition, and gains in efficiency. Possible adverse effects include undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, and unsound banking practices. Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or to terminate ownership or control of any subsidiary when the Federal Reserve has reasonable cause to believe that a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that bank holding company may result from such an activity.

Changes in Control

Subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with the applicable regulations, require Federal Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of disapproval) prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a bank or bank holding company. A conclusive presumption of control exists if an individual or company acquires the power, directly or indirectly, to direct the management or policies of an insured depository institution or to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of any insured depository institution. A rebuttable presumption of control exists if a person or company acquires 10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities of an insured depository

TABLE OF CONTENTS

institution and either the institution has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or no other person will own a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the acquisition.

As a bank holding company, JBI is required to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of a bank or bank holding company, (ii) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any bank or bank holding company (unless JBI owns a majority of such bank’s voting shares), or (iii) merging or consolidating with any other bank or bank holding company. In determining whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition, federal bank regulators will consider, among other factors, the effect of the acquisition on competition, the public benefits expected to be received from the acquisition, the projected capital ratios and levels on a post-acquisition basis, and the acquiring institution’s record of addressing the credit needs of the communities it serves, including the needs of low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of the bank, under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.

Under Florida law, a person or entity proposing to directly or indirectly acquire control of a Florida bank must first obtain permission from the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Florida statutes define “control” as either (i) indirectly or directly owning, controlling or having power to vote 25% or more of the voting securities of a bank; (ii) controlling the election of a majority of directors of a bank; (iii) owning, controlling, or having power to vote 10% or more of the voting securities as well as directly or indirectly exercising a controlling influence over management or policies of a bank; or (iv) as determined by the OFR. These requirements affect JBI because Jacksonville Bank is chartered under Florida law and changes in control of JBI are indirect changes in control of Jacksonville Bank.

Tying

Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, such as extending credit, to other services or products offered by the holding company or its affiliates, such as deposit products.

Capital; Dividends; Source of Strength

The Federal Reserve imposes certain capital requirements on bank holding companies under the BHCA, including a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum ratio of “qualifying” capital to risk-weighted assets. These requirements are described below under “Capital Regulations.” Subject to its capital requirements and certain other restrictions, JBI is able to borrow money to make a capital contribution to Jacksonville Bank, and such loans may be repaid from dividends paid from Jacksonville Bank to JBI.

The ability of Jacksonville Bank to pay dividends, however, is subject to regulatory restrictions that are described below under “Dividends.” JBI is also able to raise capital for contributions to Jacksonville Bank by issuing securities without having to receive regulatory approval, subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws.

In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, JBI is expected to act as a source of financial strength to Jacksonville Bank and to commit resources to support Jacksonville Bank in circumstances in which JBI might not otherwise do so. In furtherance of this policy, the Federal Reserve may require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the financial holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a financial holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition.

The Jacksonville Bank

Jacksonville Bank is a banking institution that is chartered by and headquartered in the State of Florida, and it is subject to supervision and regulation by OFR. The OFR supervises and regulates all areas of Jacksonville Bank’s operations including, without limitation, the making of loans, the issuance of securities, the conduct of Jacksonville Bank’s corporate affairs, the satisfaction of capital adequacy requirements, the

payment of dividends, and the establishment or closing of branches. Jacksonville Bank is also a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, which makes Jacksonville Bank’s operations subject to broad federal regulation and oversight by the Federal Reserve. In addition, Jacksonville Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the FDIC has certain enforcement powers over Jacksonville Bank.

As a state chartered banking institution in the State of Florida, Jacksonville Bank is empowered by statute, subject to the limitations contained in those statutes, to take and pay interest on savings and time deposits, to accept demand deposits, to make loans on residential and other real estate, to make consumer and commercial loans, to invest, with certain limitations, in equity securities and in debt obligations of banks and corporations and to provide various other banking services on behalf of Jacksonville Bank’s clients. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of Jacksonville Bank, including state usury laws, laws relating to fiduciaries, consumer credit and equal credit opportunity laws, and fair credit reporting. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) prohibits insured state chartered institutions from conducting activities as principal that are not permitted for national banks. A bank, however, may engage in an otherwise prohibited activity if it meets its minimum capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the activity does not present a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund.

Reserves

The Federal Reserve requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against some transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super NOW checking accounts). The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements. An institution may borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window” as a secondary source of funds, provided that the institution meets the Federal Reserve Bank’s credit standards.

Dividends

Jacksonville Bank is subject to legal limitations on the frequency and amount of dividends that can be paid to JBI. The Federal Reserve may restrict the ability of a bank to pay dividends if such payments would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. These regulations and restrictions may limit JBI’s ability to obtain funds from Jacksonville Bank for JBI’s cash needs, including funds for acquisitions and the payment of dividends, interest, and operating expenses.

In addition, Florida law also places certain restrictions on the declaration of dividends from state chartered banks to their holding companies. Pursuant to the Florida Banking Code, the board of directors of state chartered banks, after charging off bad debts, depreciation and other worthless assets, if any, and making provisions for reasonably anticipated future losses on loans and other assets, may quarterly, semi-annually or annually declare a dividend of up to the aggregate net profits of that period combined with Jacksonville Bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two years and, with the approval of the OFR, declare a dividend from retained net profits which accrued prior to the preceding two years. Before declaring such dividends, 20% of the net profits for the preceding period as is covered by the dividend must be transferred to the surplus fund of Jacksonville Bank until this fund becomes equal to the amount of Jacksonville Bank’s common stock then issued and outstanding. A state chartered bank may not declare any dividend if (i) its net income from the current year combined with the retained net income for the preceding two years is a loss or (ii) the payment of such dividend would cause the capital account of Jacksonville Bank to fall below the minimum amount required by law, regulation, order or any written agreement with the OFR or a federal regulatory agency.

Insurance of Accounts and Other Assessments

The FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund to form the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) on March 31, 2006. The deposit accounts of Jacksonville Bank are currently insured by the DIF generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor. Jacksonville Bank pays its deposit insurance assessments to the DIF.

167


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effective January 1, 2007, the FDIC established a risk-based assessment system for determining the deposit insurance assessments to be paid by insured depository institutions. Under the assessment system, the FDIC assigns an institution to one of four risk categories, with the first category having two sub-categories based on the institution’s most recent supervisory and capital evaluations, designed to measure risk. Assessment rates currently range from 0.05% of deposits for an institution in the highest sub-category of the highest category to 0.43% of deposits for an institution in the lowest category. The FDIC is authorized to raise the assessment rates as necessary to maintain the minimum required 1.25% reserve ratio of premiums held to deposits insured. The FDIC allows the use of credits for assessments previously paid.

In addition, all FDIC insured institutions are required to pay assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate of approximately 0.0122% of insured deposits to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2017 through 2019.

Transactions With Affiliates

Pursuant to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W, the authority of Jacksonville Bank to engage in transactions with related parties or “affiliates” or to make loans to insiders is limited. Loan transactions with an “affiliate” generally must be collateralized and certain transactions between Jacksonville Bank and its “affiliates,” including the sale of assets, the payment of money or the provision of services, must be on terms and conditions that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to Jacksonville Bank, as those prevailing for comparable nonaffiliated transactions. In addition, Jacksonville Bank generally may not purchase securities issued or underwritten by affiliates.

Loans to executive officers, directors or to any person who directly or indirectly, or acting through or in concert with one or more persons, owns, controls or has the power to vote more than 10% of any class of voting securities of a bank, which JBI refers to as “10% Shareholders,” or to any political or campaign committee the funds or services of which will benefit such executive officers, directors, or 10% Shareholders or which is controlled by such executive officers, directors or 10% Shareholders, are subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its corresponding regulations (Regulation O) and Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act relating to the prohibition on personal loans to executives which exempts financial institutions in compliance with the insider lending restrictions of Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act. Among other things, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those prevailing on transactions made to unaffiliated individuals and certain extensions of credit to such persons must first be approved in advance by a disinterested majority of the entire board of directors. Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act prohibits loans to any such individuals where the aggregate amount exceeds an amount equal to 15% of an institution’s unimpaired capital and surplus plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus in the case of loans that are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, or when the aggregate amount on all such extensions of credit outstanding to all such persons would exceed Jacksonville Bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(g) identifies limited circumstances in which Jacksonville Bank is permitted to extend credit to executive officers.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Community Reinvestment Act and its corresponding regulations are intended to encourage banks to help meet the credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of the banks. These regulations provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the needs of its service area. Federal banking agencies are required to make public a rating of a bank’s performance under the Community Reinvestment Act. The Federal Reserve considers a bank’s Community Reinvestment Act when the bank submits an application to establish branches, merge, or acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of another bank. In the case of a financial holding company, the Community Reinvestment Act performance record of all banks involved in the Merger or acquisition are reviewed in connection with the filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other financial holding company. An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capital Regulations

The Federal Reserve has adopted risk-based, capital adequacy guidelines for financial holding companies and their subsidiary state chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and financial holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets and to achieve greater consistency in evaluating the capital adequacy of major banks throughout the world. Under these guidelines, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories each with designated weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

The current guidelines require all financial holding companies and federally regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier I Capital. Tier I Capital, which includes common shareholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, less certain goodwill items and other intangible assets, is required to equal at least 4% of risk-weighted assets. The remainder (“Tier II Capital”) may consist of (i) an allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, (ii) excess of qualifying perpetual preferred stock, (iii) hybrid capital instruments, (iv) perpetual debt, (v) mandatory convertible securities, and (vi) subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock up to 50% of Tier I Capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II Capital less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations’ capital instruments, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and any other deductions as determined by the appropriate regulator (determined on a case by case basis or as a matter of policy after formal rule making).

In computing total risk-weighted assets, bank and financial holding company assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given similar credit conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weight will apply. Most loans will be assigned to the 100% risk category, except for performing first mortgage loans fully secured by 1- to 4-family and certain multi-family residential property, which carry a 50% risk rating. Most investment securities (including, primarily, general obligation claims on states or other political subdivisions of the United States) will be assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which have a 0% risk-weight. In covering off-balance sheet items, direct credit substitutes, including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing financial obligations, are given a 100% conversion factor. Transaction-related contingencies such as bid bonds, standby letters of credit backing non-financial obligations, and undrawn commitments (including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more than one year) have a 50% conversion factor. Short-term commercial letters of credit are converted at 20% and certain short-term unconditionally cancelable commitments have a 0% factor.

The federal bank regulatory authorities have also adopted regulations that supplement the risk-based guideline. These regulations generally require banks and financial holding companies to maintain a minimum level of Tier I Capital to total assets less goodwill of 4% (the “leverage ratio”). The Federal Reserve permits a bank to maintain a minimum 3% leverage ratio if the bank achieves a 1 rating under the CAMELS rating system in its most recent examination, as long as the bank is not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. The CAMELS rating is a non-public system used by bank regulators to rate the strength and weaknesses of financial institutions. The CAMELS rating is comprised of six categories: capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk.

Banking organizations experiencing or anticipating significant growth, as well as those organizations which do not satisfy the criteria described above, will be required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio ranging generally from 4% to 5%. The bank regulators also continue to consider a “tangible Tier I leverage ratio” in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities. The tangible Tier I leverage ratio is the ratio of a banking organization’s Tier I Capital, less deductions for intangibles otherwise includable in Tier I Capital, to total tangible assets.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Federal law and regulations establish a capital-based regulatory scheme designed to promote early intervention for troubled banks and require the FDIC to choose the least expensive resolution of bank failures. The capital-based regulatory framework contains five categories of compliance with regulatory capital requirements, including “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized.” To qualify as a “well-capitalized” institution, a bank must have a leverage ratio of no less than 5%, a Tier I risk-based ratio of no less than 6%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of no less than 10%, and the bank must not be under any order or directive from the appropriate regulatory agency to meet and maintain a specific capital level. Generally, a financial institution must be “well capitalized” before the Federal Reserve will approve an application by a financial holding company to acquire or merge with a bank or bank holding company.

Under the regulations, the applicable agency can treat an institution as if it were in the next lower category if the agency determines (after notice and an opportunity for hearing) that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or is engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. The degree of regulatory scrutiny of a financial institution will increase, and the permissible activities of the institution will decrease, as it moves downward through the capital categories. Institutions that fall into one of the three undercapitalized categories may be required to (i) submit a capital restoration plan; (ii) raise additional capital; (iii) restrict their growth, deposit interest rates, and other activities; (iv) improve their management; (v) eliminate management fees; or (vi) divest themselves of all or a part of their operations. Financial holding companies controlling financial institutions can be called upon to boost the institutions’ capital and to partially guarantee the institutions’ performance under their capital restoration plans.

It should be noted that the minimum ratios referred to above are merely guidelines and the bank regulators possess the discretionary authority to require higher ratios.

Interstate Banking and Branching

The BHCA was amended by the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Interstate Banking Act”). The Interstate Banking Act provides that adequately capitalized and managed financial and bank holding companies are permitted to acquire banks in any state.

State laws prohibiting interstate banking or discriminating against out-of-state banks are preempted. States are not permitted to enact laws opting out of this provision; however, states are allowed to adopt a minimum age restriction requiring that target banks located within the state be in existence for a period of years, up to a maximum of five years, before such bank may be subject to the Interstate Banking Act. The Interstate Banking Act establishes deposit caps which prohibit acquisitions that result in the acquiring company controlling 30% or more of the deposits of insured banks and thrift institutions held in the state in which the target maintains a branch or 10% or more of the deposits nationwide. States have the authority to waive the 30% deposit cap. State-level deposit caps are not preempted as long as they do not discriminate against out-of-state companies, and the federal deposit caps apply only to initial entry acquisitions.

The Interstate Banking Act also provides that adequately capitalized and managed banks are able to engage in interstate branching by merging with banks in different states. Unlike the interstate banking provision discussed above, states were permitted to opt out of the application of the interstate merger provision by enacting specific legislation.

Florida responded to the enactment of the Interstate Banking Act by enacting the Florida Interstate Branching Act (the “Florida Branching Act”). The purpose of the Florida Branching Act was to permit interstate branching through merger transactions under the Interstate Banking Act. Under the Florida Branching Act, with the prior approval of the OFR, a Florida bank may establish, maintain and operate one or more branches in a state other than the State of Florida pursuant to a merger transaction in which the Florida bank is the resulting bank. In addition, the Florida Branching Act provides that one or more Florida banks may enter into a merger transaction with one or more out-of-state banks, and an out-of-state bank resulting from such transaction may maintain and operate the branches of the Florida bank that participated in such merger. An out-of-state bank, however, is not permitted to acquire a Florida bank in a merger transaction unless the Florida bank has been in existence and continuously operated for more than three years.

Anti-money Laundering

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT ACT”) was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks occurring on September 11, 2001. The USA PATRIOT ACT is intended to strengthen the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities’ ability to work together to combat terrorism. Title III of the USA PATRIOT ACT, the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, amended the Bank Secrecy Act and adopted additional provisions that increased the obligations of financial institutions, including Jacksonville Bank, to identify their clients, watch for and report upon suspicious transactions, respond to requests for information by federal banking and law enforcement agencies, and share information with other financial institutions. In addition, the collected customer identification information must be verified within a reasonable time after a new account is opened through documentary or non-documentary methods. All new clients must be screened against any government lists of known or suspected terrorists within a reasonable time after opening an account.

On July 19, 2007, the Federal Reserve and the other federal financial regulatory agencies issued an interagency policy on the application of Section 8(s) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. This provision generally requires each federal banking agency to issue an order to cease and desist when a bank is in violation of the requirement to establish and maintain a Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance program. The policy statement provides that, in addition to the circumstances where the agencies will issue a cease and desist order in compliance with Section 8(s), they may take other actions as appropriate for other types of BSA/AML program concerns or for violations of other BSA requirements. The policy statement also does not address the independent authority of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to take enforcement action for violations of the BSA.

Securities Activities

On September 19, 2007, the SEC adopted Regulation R, which implements the bank broker-dealer exceptions enacted in the GLB Act. Regulation R impacts the way Jacksonville Bank’s employees who are not registered with the SEC may be compensated for referrals to a third party broker-dealer for which Jacksonville Bank has entered into a networking arrangement. In addition, Regulation R broadens the ability of Jacksonville Bank to effect securities transactions in a trustee or fiduciary capacity without registering as a broker, to effect certain sweep account transactions, and to accept orders for securities transactions from employee plan accounts, individual retirement plan accounts, and other similar accounts. Banks are expected to comply on the first day of their fiscal year beginning on or after September 1, 2010.

Privacy

Under the GLB Act, federal banking regulators adopted rules limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. The rules require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to nonaffiliated third parties.

Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003, which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act, enhances consumers’ ability to combat identity theft, increases the accuracy of consumer reports, allows consumers to exercise greater control over the type and amount of marketing solicitations they receive, restricts the use and disclosure of sensitive medical information, and establishes uniform national standards in the regulation of consumer reporting.

On October 31, 2007, the Federal Reserve and the other federal financial regulatory agencies together with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Trade Commission issued final regulations (the “Red Flag Regulations”) enacting Sections 114 and 315 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003. The Red Flag Regulations require the surviving bank subsidiary to have identity theft policies and programs in place by no later than November 1, 2010. The Red Flag Regulations require the surviving bank subsidiary to develop and implement an identity theft protection program for combating identity theft in connection with new and existing consumer accounts and other accounts for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk of identity theft.

Consumer Laws and Regulations

Jacksonville Bank is also subject to other federal and state consumer laws and regulations that are designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list set forth below is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Check Clearing for the 21 st Century Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, among others. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with clients when taking deposits or making loans to such clients. Jacksonville Bank must comply with the applicable provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of its ongoing customer relations.

Future Legislative Developments

Various legislative acts are from time to time introduced in Congress and the Florida legislature. Such legislation may change banking statutes and the environment in which JBI and Jacksonville Bank operate in substantial and unpredictable ways. JBI cannot determine the ultimate effect that potential legislation, if enacted, or implementing regulations with respect thereto, would have upon JBI’s financial condition or results of operations or that of Jacksonville Bank.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies

The commercial banking business in which Jacksonville Bank engages is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, availability of borrowing at the “discount window,” open market operations, the imposition of changes in reserve requirements against member banks’ deposits and assets of foreign branches and the imposition of and changes in reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates are some of the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve. These monetary policies are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distributions of bank loans, investments and deposits, and this use may affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks and are expected to do so in the future. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve are influenced by various factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes in the international trade balance and in the fiscal policies of the U.S. Government. Future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the future business and earnings of Jacksonville Bank cannot be predicted.

Income Taxes

JBI is subject to income taxes at the federal level and subject to state taxation in Florida. JBI files a consolidated federal tax return with a fiscal year ending on December 31.

TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

All shares of JBI common stock to be issued in the Merger will be freely transferable under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except shares received by “affiliates” of ABI at the time of the Merger. These affiliates may only sell their shares in transactions permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or as otherwise permitted under the Securities Act. “Affiliates” would typically include directors, executive officers, and those who control, are controlled by, or are under common control with ABI.

This proxy statement/prospectus does not cover resales of JBI common stock to be received by any person who may be deemed to be an affiliate of ABI. Each ABI affiliate who will become an affiliate of JBI after the Merger has executed and delivered to JBI an agreement. Under this agreement, such affiliate of ABI has agreed not to offer to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of JBI common stock issued to him pursuant to the Merger except in compliance with Rule 144, or in a transaction that is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of, or in an offering which is registered under, the Securities Act. JBI may place restrictive legends on certificates representing JBI common stock issued to all persons who are deemed to be “affiliates” of ABI under Rule 144.

INDEMNIFICATION OF JBI DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES

The Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) authorizes a company to indemnify its directors and officers in certain instances against certain liabilities that they may incur by virtue of their relationship with the company. A company may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses incurred in any pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative proceeding (except an action by the company) against him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the company, or another company if serving in such capacity at the company’s request if he (i) acted in good faith; (ii) acted in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company; and (iii) with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Furthermore, a company may indemnify any director, officer, agent or employee against expenses incurred in defense or settlement of any proceeding brought by the company against him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or another company if serving in such capacity at the company’s request, if he: (i) acted in good faith; (ii) acted in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company; and (iii) is not adjudged to be liable to the company (unless the court finds that he is nevertheless reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court deems proper). A company must repay the expenses of any director, officer, employee or agent who is successful on the merits of an action against him in his capacity as such.

A Florida company is authorized to make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, except for acts or omissions which constitute (i) a violation of the criminal law (unless the individual had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful); (ii) a transaction in which the individual derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which certain liability provisions of the FBCA are applicable (related to payment of dividends or other distributions or repurchases of shares in violation of such Act); or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a proceeding by the company, or a company shareholder. A Florida company also is authorized to purchase and maintain liability insurance for those who are or were directors, officers, employees and agents.

Under JBI’s Post Merger Bylaws, JBI shall indemnify any director or any officer elected by its board of directors (and may indemnify any other officer or any employee or agent of JBI upon certain authorization procedures) who was or is a party to any proceeding (except an action by the company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of JBI, or is or was serving at JBI’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if such person (i) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the company’s best interests, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of JBI, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Under JBI’s Post Merger Bylaws, JBI shall indemnify any director or any officer elected by its board of directors (and may indemnify any other officer or any employee or agent of JBI upon certain authorization procedures) who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of JBI to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of JBI, or is or was serving at the request of JBI as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of investigating, litigating or otherwise bringing the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of JBI, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shall have been adjudged to be liable unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that such court shall deem proper. JBI shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. Expenses incurred by a director of the company or any officer elected by the board of directors in defending a civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by the company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if such person is not ultimately entitled to be authorized and indemnified by the company. Such expenses incurred by other officers, employees or agents of the company may, at the discretion of the board of directors, be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions, including receipt of the undertaking to repay as described above, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Post Merger Bylaws of JBI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and JBI may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action by such a director, officer, employee or agent in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position; provided, however , that indemnification shall not be made to or on behalf of, and any advancement of expenses shall be repaid by, any director, officer, employee or agent for expenses, penalties or other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate regulatory agency, if the proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to JBI; and provided further that indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that such person’s actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the unlawful distribution liability provisions of FBCA Section 607.0834 (or any successor provision) are applicable; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a proceeding by or in the right of the company to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

Federal banking law, which is applicable to JBI as a financial holding company and to Jacksonville Bank as an insured depository institution, limits the ability of JBI and Jacksonville Bank to indemnify their directors and officers. Neither JBI nor Jacksonville Bank may make, or agree to make, indemnification payments to an institution-affiliated party such as an officer or director in connection with any administrative or civil action instituted by a federal banking agency if as a result of the banking agency action the indemnitee is assessed a civil money penalty, is removed from office or prohibited from participating in the conduct of JBI’s or Jacksonville Bank’s affairs, or is subject to a cease and desist order. Prior to the resolution of any action instituted by the applicable banking agency, JBI or Jacksonville Bank, as applicable, may indemnify officers and directors only if their respective board of directors, as the case may be, (i) determines that the indemnified person acted in good faith, (ii) determines after investigation that making indemnification payments would not affect JBI’s safety and soundness or the safety and soundness of Jacksonville Bank, as the case may be, and (iii) if the indemnified party agrees in writing to reimburse JBI or Jacksonville Bank, as the case may be, for any indemnity payments which turn out to be impermissible.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to JBI’s directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, JBI has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF JBI COMMON STOCK

JBI currently has authorized capital stock of 10 million shares consisting of 2 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 8 million shares of common stock, par value, $0.01 per share, of which 1,749,487 shares of common stock, and no shares of preferred stock are presently issued and outstanding. Immediately prior to the Merger (under the Post Merger Articles), JBI will have 50 million shares of authorized capital consisting of 10 million shares of preferred stock and 40 million shares of common stock. After the Merger and the Stock Purchase, an estimated 4,999,940 shares will be issued and outstanding.

The holders of JBI’s common stock are entitled to elect the members of JBI’s board of directors and such holders are entitled to vote as a class on all matters required or permitted to be submitted to the shareholders of JBI. No holder of any class of stock of JBI has preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of shares of that or any other class of stock and the holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors.

The holders of JBI’s common stock are entitled to dividends and other distributions if, as, and when declared by JBI’s board of directors out of assets legally available therefore. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of JBI, the holder of each share of JBI common stock will be entitled to share equally in the distribution of JBI’s assets. The holders of JBI’s common stock are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund provision. The shares of common stock of JBI are not subject to any redemption provisions, nor are they convertible into any other security or property of JBI. All shares of JBI’s common stock outstanding upon completion of the Merger and Stock Purchase will be fully paid and nonassessable.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF ABI COMMON STOCK
AND JBI COMMON STOCK

JBI and ABI are both organized under the laws of the State of Florida. Any differences, therefore, in the rights of holders of JBI common stock and ABI common stock arise primarily from differences in their respective articles of incorporation and bylaws. Upon completion of the Merger, the Post Merger Articles and Post Merger Bylaws for JBI will be in effect, and will be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation in the Merger. Consequently, after the effective time of the Merger, the rights of the shareholders of ABI who become shareholders of JBI will be determined by reference to the Post Merger Articles and Post Merger Bylaws.

Set forth below is a summary comparison of the rights of a JBI shareholder under the Post Merger Articles and Post Merger Bylaws of JBI as of the effective time of the Merger (left column) and the rights of an ABI shareholder under ABI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws (right column). The summary set forth below is not intended to provide a comprehensive summary of each company’s governing documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Post Merger Articles and Post Merger Bylaws of JBI that will be in effect as of the effective time of the Merger and the text of ABI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Control Share Acquisitions
JBI expressly elects in its Post Merger Articles to not have the Florida Control Share Acquisitions statute apply to “control share acquisitions” of shares of the company before the “control share acquisition.”
  
The Florida Control Share Acquisitions statute is designed to afford shareholders of public corporations in Florida protection against acquisitions in which a person, entity or group seeks to gain voting control. With enumerated exceptions, the statute provides that shares acquired within certain specific ranges will not possess voting rights in the election of directors unless the voting rights are approved by a majority vote of the public corporation’s disinterested shareholders. Disinterested shares are shares other than those owned by the acquiring person or by a member of a group with respect to a control share acquisition, or by any officer of the corporation or any employee of the corporation who is also a director.
  
A corporation in its articles of incorporation or bylaws can elect not to be subject to this statute.
  ABI’s articles of incorporation provide that the company shall not be merged or consolidated with another corporation or entity and the company shall not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets unless such merger, consolidation, sale or disposition is approved by a vote of at least 70% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the company.

Pomar and Schwenck are expected to be the only directors that are not independent based upon the fact that they serve as executive officers of JBI.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS OR SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF DIRECTORS
AND OFFICERS AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. The rules also treat as outstanding all shares of common stock that a person would receive upon exercise of stock options or warrants held by that person, which are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the beneficial ownership determination date. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which that person has no economic interest.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND RELATED PARTIES

JBI

JBI has granted loans to and accepted deposits from its executive officers, directors and their immediate family members in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers and which did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Insiders’ transactions with Jacksonville Bank will be promptly and fully disclosed to JBI’s board of directors. Fees and payments to insiders will be appropriate based on the type, level, quality and value of goods or services Jacksonville Bank is receiving. Fees and other payments will directly relate to, and be based solely upon, the fair value of goods or services received, compensation for goods or services that meet legitimate needs of Jacksonville Bank, and be made only to service providers who have the necessary expertise to provide the services.

ABI

ABI’s and Oceanside Bank’s boards of directors review any transactions with related persons in detail on a case-by-case basis, but have not adopted a specific written policy on the issue. Management of Oceanside Bank determines whether a transaction meets the requirements of a related person transaction requiring review by the board of directors. Transactions that fall within this definition are referred to ABI’s board of directors for approval or other action. The boards of directors of ABI and Oceanside Bank ensure that all such transactions comport with Florida law, and ABI’s Ethics Policy and Regulation O Policy. Based on its consideration of all of the relevant facts and circumstances, ABI’s board of directors decides whether or not to approve such a transaction and will approve only those transactions that are in the best interests of Oceanside Bank. If Oceanside Bank becomes aware of an existing transaction with a related person which has not been approved, the matter will be referred to ABI’s board of directors who will evaluate all options available, including ratification, revision or termination of such transaction. For purposes of this review, the term “related person” has the meaning ascribed to it in SEC Regulation S-K 404(a) “Transactions with related persons, promoters and certain control persons.”

Mr. Glisson, among certain other directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders (defined as individuals owning 5% or more of ABI common stock) of ABI are customers of, and have banking relations with, Oceanside Bank. Loans made to these individuals are governed under the provisions of Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 22(h) requires that any loans made by Oceanside Bank to such individuals, or to any related interest of such individuals, must: (i) be on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated parties and; (ii) not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. These restrictions do not affect preferential loans to full-time employees who are not directors or executive officers of ABI or Oceanside Bank. Atlantic has no loans outstanding to its directors or officers that are not performing according to the terms of such loans. There were no loans made to individuals that would be considered principal shareholders.

ADJOURNMENT OR POSTPONEMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETINGS

If ABI does not receive a sufficient number of votes to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger, it may propose to adjourn or postpone the ABI Special Meeting if a quorum is present, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. ABI does not currently intend to propose adjournment or postponement at the ABI Special Meetings if there are sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger. If approval of the proposal to adjourn or postpone the ABI Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies is submitted to the ABI shareholders for approval, the approval requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the ABI Special Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. The boards of directors of ABI unanimously recommends that the ABI shareholders vote “ FOR “ the proposal to adjourn or postpone the ABI Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the ABI Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. owns and operates The Jacksonville Bank, which has a total of five operating branches in Jacksonville, Florida.

In 2010, The Jacksonville Bank formed TJB Properties, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Jacksonville Bank for the sole purpose of managing property acquired through foreclosure. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank, and The Jacksonville Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Fountain Financial, Inc. and TJB Properties, LLC. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company” and The Jacksonville Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2010.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company reflect banking industry practice and conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting standards. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, introduces participating interests concept in circumstances in which a portion of a financial asset has been transferred, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures for transfers of financial assets. This guidance is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009, and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods. The disclosure requirements must be applied to transfers that occurred before and after its effective date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance to improve financial reporting for companies involved with variable interest entities by providing more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This guidance was effective as of January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

In determining OTTI for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

NOTE 2 — INVESTMENT SECURITIES  – (continued)

In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows. It is not the Bank’s policy to purchase securities rated below AA.

When OTTI occurs for either debt securities or purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of $25,448 of available-for-sale securities, of which $7,197 was in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses are related to the Company’s U.S. Agency, and State and political securities, as discussed below:

U.S. Agency Securities

All of the U.S. Agency securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality.

Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

State and Political Securities

All of the State and Political Securities (“Municipal Bonds”) held by the Company were issued by a city or other local government. The Municipal Bonds are general obligations of the issuer and are secured by specified revenues. The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the ratings of the underlying insurers rather than the ability or willingness of the municipality to repay.

Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company does not have state and political securities at an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2010. The Company had $987,000 of these securities at December 31, 2009.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

The mortgage-backed securities portfolio includes collateralized mortgage obligations with a market value of $5,619 at June 30, 2010. Of the $5,619 of collateralized mortgage obligations, $5,381 was in an unrealized loss position of $12.

Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these to be other-than-temporary impaired at June 30, 2010.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, there were no credit losses recognized in earnings.

NOTE 5 — SHORT-TERM BORROWING AND FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) were as follows:

   
  2010   2009
Convertible advances maturing June 8, 2010 with a quarterly call option beginning June 9, 2008 at a fixed rate of 4.99%           5,000  
Convertible advances maturing June 8, 2012 with a quarterly call option beginning September 10, 2007 at a fixed rate of 4.68%     5,000       5,000  
Convertible advances maturing August 13, 2010 with a quarterly call option beginning August 13, 2008 at a fixed rate of 4.51%     5,000       5,000  
Convertible advances maturing October 4, 2010 with a quarterly call option beginning October 6, 2008 at a fixed rate of 4.15%     5,000       5,000  
Advances maturing May 29, 2012 at a fixed rate of 2.11%     5,000       5,000  
     $ 20,000     $ 25,000  

Each advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for early termination. The advances are collateralized by a blanket lien arrangement of the Company’s first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans. Based upon this collateral and the Company’s holdings of FHLB stock, the Company is eligible to borrow up to a total of $62,452 at June 30, 2010.

The Company has a “Borrower in Custody” line of credit with the Federal Reserve by pledging excess collateral. The amount of this line at June 30, 2010 was $29,279, all of which was available on that date.

NOTE 6 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT

On July 7, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SunTrust Bank to mitigate interest rate risk exposure. Under the terms of the agreement, which relates to the subordinated debt issued to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III in the amount of $7,550, the Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 7.53% for a period of ten years in exchange for the original floating rate contract (90-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points). This derivative instrument is recognized on the balance sheet in other liabilities at its fair value of $598 on June 30, 2010.

Credit risk may result from the inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional amount.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:  Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities :  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

Derivatives : The fair value of the derivatives is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans : The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned : Nonrecurring adjustment to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE  – (continued)

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $1,412 with a valuation allowance of $424 at June 30, 2010, compared to a carrying amount of $2,341 with a valuation allowance of $264 at December 31, 2009. Collateral dependent impaired loans, valued under Level 3, were measured using current appraised values along with information on recent market transactions as well as management’s assumptions about the criteria that market participants would use in pricing the assets.

OREO, which is measured using the collateral values, had a net carrying amount of $6,089, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $6,606, net of a valuation allowance of $517 at June 30, 2010, resulting in a write-down of $486 for the year ending June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of OREO was $4,011, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $4,041, net of a valuation allowance of $30, resulting in a write-down of $30 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Interest rate swap     598       598              

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For loans, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life adjusted for the allowance for loan losses. For fixed rate deposits and variable rate deposits with infrequent repricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. Fair value of debt, including FHLB advances, is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine fair value of FHLB stock and other nonmarketable equity securities due to restrictions placed on transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is considered nominal.

The merger agreement also contemplates the consolidation of Oceanside Bank into the Bank. Additionally, Bancorp announced the signing of a stock purchase agreement with four private investors led by CapGen Capital Group IV LP (“CapGen”) providing for $30 million in new capital through the sale of newly issued shares of Bancorp common stock subject to completion of the mergers. The transactions have been approved by the Boards of Directors of each company.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, ABI shareholders will receive 0.2 shares of Bancorp common stock for each share of ABI common stock. Additionally, ABI shareholders will receive cash of up to approximately $0.65 per share, subject to the qualifying sale of certain ABI assets. On June 30, 2010, ABI sold the certain ABI assets to an unaffiliated third party. A total of approximately 249,503 shares of Bancorp common stock is expected to be issued to ABI shareholders.

Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, Bancorp will issue approximately 3 million shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

Jacksonville, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting standards used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation :  Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) is a financial holding company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned, primary operating subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank, and The Jacksonville Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company,” and The Jacksonville Bank and its subsidiary are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company currently provides financial services through its five offices in Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. Its primary business segment is community banking and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area.

Use of Estimates :  To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows :  For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions with maturities fewer than 90 days and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, federal funds purchased, Federal Reserve discount window and other borrowings.

Advertising Costs :  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Securities :  Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Other securities, such as FHLB stock, are carried at cost.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of purchase discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level yield without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; and the Company’s intent or likelihood that it would be required to sell.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Loans :  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Overdrawn customer checking accounts are reclassified as consumer loans and are evaluated on an individual basis for collectability. The balances, which totaled $68,000 and $198,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are included in the estimate of allowance for loan losses and are charged off when collectability is considered doubtful.

Concentration of Credit Risk :  Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located in Duval County. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in Duval County.

Allowance for Loan Losses :  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans by loan type and is based on historical loss experience for each loan type adjusted for current factors.

A loan is 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. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the sale of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans’ effective rate at inception.

Foreclosed Assets :  Assets acquired through or in place of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs incurred after acquisition are expensed.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Premises and Equipment :  Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Other Real Estate Owned :  Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed taken in lieu of foreclosure. These amounts are recorded at estimated fair value, less costs to sell the property, with any difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan being charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the assets at the time of transfer. Those subsequent changes, as well as any gains or losses recognized on the sale of these properties, are included in noninterest expense.

Federal Home Loan (FHLB) Stock :  The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Long-term Assets :  Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments :  Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Bank Owned Life Insurance :  The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Derivatives:  At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). The Company entered into a derivative contract that is designated as a cash flow hedge. The gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any change in the fair value of the derivative that is not highly effective in hedging the change in expected cash flows of the hedged item would be recognized immediately in current earnings. Net cash settlements are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions, at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking the cash flow hedge to the specific liability on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer

effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Stock Compensation :  Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income Taxes :  Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial statements. These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2005. The Company recognized interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Earnings Per Common Share :  Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

The effect of stock options and stock awards is the sole common stock equivalent for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.

Comprehensive Income :  Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Treasury Stock :  Treasury stock is carried at cost. Gains and losses on issuances are based on the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of issuance and are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Gains on issuances are credited to additional paid-in capital while losses are charged to additional paid-in capital to the extent that previous net gains from issuances are included therein, otherwise to retained earnings. Gains or losses on the issuances of treasury stock are not credited or charged to income.

Loss Contingencies :  Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash :  Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank is required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

Dividend Restrictions :  Bank regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the holding company or by the holding company to the shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments :  Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments :  While the chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications :  Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards :  In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued guidance that delayed the effective date of this fair value guidance for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.

In April 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities and requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet either of the above criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and 2) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. Additionally, disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities were expanded. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance that emphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement does not change even when market activity for the asset or liability has decreased significantly. Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. When observable transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, then little, if any, weight should be assigned to the indication of the asset or liability’s fair value. Adjustments to those transactions or prices should be applied to determine the appropriate fair value. The guidance, which was applied prospectively, was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  – (continued)

In June 2009, the FASB replaced The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Standards , with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (The Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting standards recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In August 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities by clarifying that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or that is consistent with existing fair value guidance. The amendments in this guidance clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance was effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 — INVESTMENT SECURITIES  – (continued)

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. In determining OTTI for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows. It is not the Bank’s policy to purchase securities rated below AA.

When OTTI occurs, for either debt securities or purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of $22,171 of available-for-sale securities, and $3,064 was in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s U.S. Agency, and State and political securities, as discussed below:

U.S. Agency Securities

All of the U.S. Agency securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality.

Because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009.

State and Political Securities

All of the State and Political Securities (“Municipal Bonds”) held by the Company were issued by a city or other local government. The Municipal Bonds are general obligations of the issuer and are secured by specified revenues. The decline in fair value is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the ratings of the underlying insurers rather than the ability or willingness of the municipality to repay.

     $ 25,000     $ 20,000  

Each advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for early termination. The advances were collateralized by a blanket lien arrangement of the Company’s first mortgage loans, second mortgage loans and commercial real estate loans. Based upon this collateral and the Company’s holdings of FHLB stock, the Company is eligible to borrow up to a total of $68,300 at year-end 2009.

In 2008, the Company established a “Borrower in Custody” line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank by pledging excess collateral. The amount of this line at December 31, 2009 was $29,800, all of which was available on that date.

NOTE 7 — SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

On June 17, 2004, the Company participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Statutory Trust I (the “Trust I”), a wholly owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust I used the proceeds from the issuance of $4,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp. The trust preferred securities essentially mirror the debt securities, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the debt securities (three-month LIBOR plus 263 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 4.06% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 2.88%.

On December 14, 2006, the Company participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Statutory Trust II (the “Trust II”), a wholly owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust II used the proceeds from the issuance of $3,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp.

interest rate on the debt securities (three-month LIBOR plus 173 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 7.08% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 1.98%.

On June 20, 2008, the Company participated in a private placement offering of trust preferred securities. Bancorp formed Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III (the “Trust III”), a wholly owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust III used the proceeds from the issuance of $7,550 in trust preferred securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures of Bancorp. The trust preferred securities essentially mirror the debt securities, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a variable rate equal to the interest rate on the debt securities (three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points). The initial rate in effect at the time of issuance was 6.55% and is subject to change quarterly. The rate in effect at December 31, 2009 was 4.00%. On July 7, 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SunTrust Bank to mitigate interest rate risk exposure. Under the terms of the agreement, which relates to the subordinated debt issued to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III in the amount of $7,550, the Company has agreed to pay a fixed rate of 7.53% for a period of ten years in exchange for the original floating rate contract (90-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points).

The debt securities and the trust preferred securities under the three offerings each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred securities and the debt securities are callable by Bancorp or the respective trust, at their respective option after five years, and at varying premiums and sooner upon the occurrence of specific events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. In addition, the debt securities and trust preferred securities allow the deferral of interest payments for up to 5 years. The Company has treated the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed, and the remainder as Tier 2 capital for federal regulatory purposes (see Note 12).

The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these Trusts (variable interest entities); therefore, the trusts are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability.

There are no required principal payments on subordinated debentures over the next five years.

NOTE 8 — BENEFIT PLANS

Profit Sharing Plan :  The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan which is available to all employees electing to participate after meeting certain length-of-service requirements. The plan allows contributions by employees up to 15% of their compensation, which are matched equal to 100% of the first 4.5% in 2009, and 6% in 2008 and 2007 of the compensation contributed. Expense for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $108, $174 and $148, respectively.

Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan :  Following approval by the shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting, the Company established the Directors’ Stock Purchase Plan for nonemployee directors. Under this Plan, directors may elect to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as an alternative to the equivalent amounts of cash for directors’ fees. A total of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were made available for issuance, all of which remained available for issuance at December 31, 2009 and 2008, as all transactions executed to date were open market purchases. The Company’s expense in connection with this plan was $32, $83 and $176 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in director fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 11 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 25, 2006, Bancorp’s shareholders approved the Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2006 Plan, up to 20,000 shares of Bancorp’s common stock were made available for issuance for awards in the form of incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance grants or stock appreciation rights. Any award that expires or is forfeited for any reason is returned to the 2006 Plan.

The 2006 Plan was a new plan and did not supersede the Company’s original Stock Option Plan, adopted by the Company’s shareholders on April 26, 2000, which continues to govern awards made under it. Under the Company’s original Stock Option Plan, options to buy stock are granted to directors, officers and employees. There are no options available to be issued under the original Stock Option Plan.

On April 29, 2008, the shareholders approved a 2008 Amendment and Restatement of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. Under this amendment and restatement, there is reserved for issuance under the plan an aggregate of 70,000 shares of Bancorp common stock. No more than 15,000 shares may be allocated to incentive awards, including the maximum shares payable under a performance grant, that are granted during any single taxable year to any individual participant who is an employee of Bancorp or any subsidiary of Bancorp.

Stock options are granted under both stock option plans with an exercise price equal to or greater than the stock fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options granted have ten-year lives, generally containing vesting terms of three to five years. Certain grants have been made that vest immediately. Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options are newly-issued shares.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes option-pricing model) that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Total share-based compensation costs that have been charged against income for those plans were $63, $110 and $147 for 2009, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 12 — CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: 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 capital restoration plans are required. At year end 2009 and 2008, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank and the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category. Management and the Board of Directors have committed to maintain Total Risk-Based Capital at 10% and Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets at 8% at the Bank and the Company.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year end.

NOTE 12 — CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS  – (continued)

Bancorp’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and restrict the payment of dividends by the Bank to Bancorp or by Bancorp to shareholders. Specifically, a Florida state-chartered commercial bank may not pay cash dividends that would cause its capital to fall below the minimum amount required by federal or state law. Accordingly, commercial banks may only pay dividends out of the total of current net profits plus retained net profits of the preceding two years to the extent it deems expedient, except that no bank may pay a dividend at any time that the total of net income for the current year when combined with retained net income from the preceding two years produces a loss. The future ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Bancorp also depends in part on the FDIC capital requirements in effect and the Company’s ability to comply with such requirements.

NOTE 13 — DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges :  The Company is hedging the notional amount of $7,550 Statutory Trust III as of December 31, 2009. The hedge was designated as a cash flow hedge and was determined to be fully effective during all periods presented. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swap is recorded in other assets with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps.

Summary information about the interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2009 is as follows:

 
Notional amounts   $ 7,550  
Fixed rate     7.53% per annum  
Unrealized gains (losses)   $ 10  

Interest expense recorded on this swap transaction totaled $125 during 2009 and is reported as a component of interest expense.

NOTE 14 — LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amount of variable and fixed rate financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows at year end:

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:  Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities :  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE  – (continued)

Derivatives :  The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans :  The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned :  Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification.

The following assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option:

Impaired loans and other real estate owned, which are measured for impairment using discounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $2,341, with a valuation allowance of $264. Additional impaired loans, not measured using levels of inputs to measure fair value, had a carrying amount of $4,036. Collateral dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned, valued under Level 3, were measured using current appraised values along with information on recent market transactions as well as management’s assumptions about the criteria that market participants would use in pricing the assets.

Other real estate owned, which is measured using the collateral values, had a net carrying amount of $4,011, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $4,041, net of a valuation allowance of $30 at December 31, 2009, resulting in a write-down of $30 for the year ending December 31, 2009.

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE  – (continued)

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value, are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For loans, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life adjusted for the allowance for loan losses. For fixed rate deposits and variable rate deposits with infrequent repricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. Fair value of debt, including FHLB advances, is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine fair value of FHLB stock and other nonmarketable equity securities due to restrictions placed on transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is considered nominal.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2010

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

General  — Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve and owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Oceanside Bank (“Oceanside”). Oceanside is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, which opened July 21, 1997. Oceanside’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Holding Company’s primary business activity is the operation of Oceanside, and it operates in only one reportable industry segment, banking. Collectively, the entities are referred to as “Atlantic.” References to Atlantic, Oceanside, and subsidiaries throughout these condensed consolidated financial statements are made using the first-person notations of “we,” “our,” and “us.” Oceanside has formed subsidiaries (“Subsidiaries”) for the sole purpose of holding and managing real estate properties acquired through foreclosure.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oceanside, and the Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Atlantic conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, have not been audited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. Our results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. The accounting policies followed by us are set forth in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Oceanside, through four banking offices, provides a wide range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily in East Duval and Northeast St. Johns Counties of Florida. We are subject to regulations of certain federal and state regulatory agencies and, accordingly, we are examined by those agencies. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, our business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal and state legislation and regulations.

Regulatory Action . Effective January 7, 2010, Oceanside entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”) (“Stipulation”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, Oceanside has consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of January 7, 2010 (“Consent Order”).

The Consent Order represents an agreement among Oceanside, the FDIC, and the OFR as to areas of Oceanside’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on Oceanside.

Oceanside has evaluated and is responding with enhanced policies, procedures, analyses, and training to address matters enumerated in the Consent Order. In management’s opinion, many of the cited criticisms have been addressed or Oceanside is no longer engaged in the activity.

Oceanside did not meet the April 7, 2010, deadline to raise additional capital as required by the Consent Order. However, on May 10, 2010, Atlantic entered into an agreement to merge into Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. See Note 12 — Merger for further information regarding the proposed merger.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

On March 26, 2010, the Holding Company entered into a mutual agreement (“Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) to maintain the financial soundness of the Holding Company so that the Holding Company may serve as a source of strength to Oceanside. The Written Agreement provides for restrictions on dividends declared or paid by the Holding Company, the receipt of dividends or other payments from the Bank, the distribution of interest, principal, or other sums on trust-preferred securities, the guarantee of any debt by the Holding Company and the Subsidiaries, the redemption of stock by the Holding Company, and certain other operating restrictions and reporting requirements.

Liquidity . Atlantic actively manages liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents, which include interest-bearing deposits, totaled $33.1 million at June 30, 2010. In addition to cash and cash equivalents and unpledged investment securities, Atlantic has the following sources of available liquidity at June 30, 2010: lines of credit to purchase federal funds ($9.0 million) and, borrowings at the Federal Reserve discount window ($3.1 million), subject to prior approval and limited to overnight secondary credit. Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, management expects Atlantic to be able to meet its obligations.

Use of Estimates  — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned (or foreclosed assets), the realization of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets is based on estimates that may be affected by significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and the valuation of foreclosed assets, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

Our loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although we have a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of our debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local, state, and national economic conditions that may affect the value of the underlying collateral or the income of the debtor.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and to value foreclosed assets, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans and foreclosed assets may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans and carrying value of foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require us to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management’s determination of the realization of deferred tax assets is based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing, nature, and amount of future income earned by certain subsidiaries and the implementation of various plans to maximize realization of deferred tax assets.

Atlantic has recorded a deferred tax asset (net of valuation allowances) to recognize the future income tax benefit of operating losses incurred for tax years 2009 and 2008, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Management believes that the tax benefits on the net operating loss carry forwards will be utilized when Atlantic returns to profitability. Generally, the net operating losses can be carried forward for up to 20 years.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

On November 6, 2009, the “Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009” was signed into law, which relaxed the net operating loss carryback rules. As a result of this law, Atlantic was able to carryback net operating losses to obtain a tax refund of $1.024 million, which was received in April 2010.

In estimating the carrying value of deferred tax assets, management considered the cumulative loss position, projected taxable income, and available tax strategies in developing the analysis of any required deferred income tax asset valuation as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cumulative losses in recent quarters suggested the need for a valuation allowance. However, management believed that this negative evidence was partially offset by the following positive evidence, which mitigated the need for reducing the carrying value (net of valuation allowances) to zero.

Atlantic has a prior history of taxable earnings prior to losses that began in 2008. Since inception in 1997, Atlantic has reported taxable income in 10 of 12 years through 2008, with cumulative taxable income of nearly $9.0 million through 2008.
Atlantic has taken steps to improve its net interest margin and reduce operating costs such as payroll, which Atlantic believes will improve its core earnings. Although we cannot assure that these efforts will return us to consistent profitability, internal projections indicate, within the next 2-5 years, our book and taxable income are more likely than not to return to levels approaching those prior to 2008.
Management has received and considered offers to purchase two of its branch locations and relocate to leased space (or lease-back its existing facilities). While the sale-leaseback would not likely generate significant book income immediately, the taxable income was projected to exceed $1.0 million.
Management and the Board of Directors have implemented a tax strategy that has generated taxable income of approximately $1.1 million from the liquidation of bank-owned life insurance policies. In the second quarter of 2010, Atlantic received proceeds from the liquidation of the policies of $5.1 million.
Converting tax-exempt investment income to taxable investment income, which could increase taxable income by almost $1.0 million and book income by $0.4 million.
Repurchase of junior subordinated debentures at a discount.
Termination of all or a portion of the Bank’s deferred compensation plan, which would generate up to $1.6 million in book taxable income and reduce the deferred tax asset by $0.6 million.

Based on the above analysis, management believes it is more likely than not that Atlantic will realize the deferred tax asset of $0.5 million and $0.7 million (net of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million and $2.8 million) at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, through future operating income and implementation of certain tax strategies.

Reclassifications  — Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the current period.

New Accounting Guidance  — In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, Transfer and Servicing (“Topic 860”) —  Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ASU 09-16”) which amends ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing — Overall (“ASC 860-10”) and adds transition paragraphs 860-10-65-3 of ASC 860-10 . ASC 860-10 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the

concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. ASC 860-10 is effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on Atlantic’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidation (“Topic 810”) —  Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 09-17”) which amends ASC 810-10, Consolidations — Overall (“ASC 810-10”) and adds transition paragraphs 810-10-65-2 of ASC 810-10. ASC 810-10 changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASC 810-10 is effective at the start of a company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810-10 did not have a material impact on Atlantic’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”) : Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements , to improve disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements and disclosures. The guidance requires that a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and that activity in Level 3 should be presented on a gross basis rather than one net number for information about purchases, issuances, and settlements. The guidance also requires that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009, except for the roll forward of activity in Level 3, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2010. Adopting this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of Atlantic.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (“Topic 855”): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements . The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as this requirement would have potentially conflicted with SEC reporting requirements. This ASU became effective upon issuance. Removal of the disclosure requirement did not affect the nature or timing of subsequent events evaluations performed by Atlantic.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Receivables (“Topic 310”) —  Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ ASU 10-20 ”). ASU 10-20 requires a company to disaggregate new and existing disclosures based on how it develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages credit exposures. Short-term accounts receivable, receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value, and debt securities are exempt from the ASU 10-20. For public companies, the amendments that require disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments that require disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Management does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on Atlantic’s financial position, results of operation, or cash flows.

Other : A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to Atlantic’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OPERATING LOSSES, AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

As a result of the extraordinary effects of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the capital of Atlantic and Oceanside have been significantly depleted. The impact of the current financial crisis in the U.S. and abroad is having far-reaching consequences and it is difficult to say at this point when the economy will begin to recover. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to resume profitable operations in the near future, or at all. We have determined that significant additional sources of capital or the implementation of strategies to enhance existing capital will be required for us to resume profitable operations beyond 2010. We continue to explore other options to restructure our balance sheet to generate income and capital.

On May 10, 2010, Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc., the bank holding company for The Jacksonville Bank, and Atlantic announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement providing for the merger of Atlantic into Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. The completion of this merger would resolve the regulatory and capital challenges that Atlantic faces since Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. would be the surviving entity. See Note 12 — Merger .

In the event that the merger is not completed, we will continue our efforts to raise additional capital and have identified transactions to increase our capital by approximately $4 million, including eliminating our bank owned life insurance, reducing or eliminating certain retirement benefits, and the potential sale of assets. In order to improve our Tier 1 leverage ratio, we may also shrink our total assets.

The accompanying condensed 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.

In its report dated April 15, 2010, covering our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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 Atlantic to profitability or to identify and consummate a strategic transaction, including the potential sale of Atlantic. If we are not able to successfully accomplish such actions, it is possible that our subsidiary bank may fail and be placed into receivership with the FDIC.

Although the contemplated merger with Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (see Note 12 — Merger ) is expected to result in our continued operation as a part of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and The Jacksonville Bank, such transaction may prove to be insufficient due to the possible continued decline of the loan portfolio or other losses. If we are, or the surviving entity in the merger is, 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.

NOTE 3 — COMPUTATION OF PER SHARE INCOME (LOSSES)

Basic income (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares and all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. We have no dilutive potential shares outstanding for 2010 or 2009. The following information was used in the computation of income (loss) per share on both a basic and diluted basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars and number of shares in thousands):

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a monthly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of Atlantic to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. At June 30, 2010, Atlantic did not have any investment securities deemed other-than-temporarily-impaired debt securities.

The unrealized losses on investment securities were caused by interest rate changes. Temporary net decreases in fair value of securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2010, are regarded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The estimated fair value of investment securities is determined on the basis of market quotations. The following is a summary of the effects on stockholders’ equity (dollars in thousands):

Gross gains and losses on sales of investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $-0- and $21,000, respectively. Gross gains and losses on sales of investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $11,000 and $56,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2010, investment securities with an amortized cost of $1.5 million and fair value of $1.4 million were pledged to secure deposits of public funds from the State of Florida and treasury tax and loan deposits with the Federal Reserve. At June 30, 2010, investment securities with an amortized cost of $4.2 million and a fair value of $4.0 million were pledged for the Federal Reserve discount window, investment securities with an amortized cost of $13.6 million and a fair value of $13.9 million were pledged to secure FHLB of Atlanta advances, and investment securities with an amortized cost and a fair value of $3.6 million were pledged to secure a line of credit to purchase federal funds (see Note 7 ).

There were no securities of a single issuer, which are non-governmental or non-government sponsored, that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2010.

The cost and estimated fair value of debt and equity securities at June 30, 2010, by contractual maturities, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 8 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

We are a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments at June 30, 2010, consisted of commitments to extend credit approximating $8.8 million and standby letters of credit of $1.2 million.

Commitments to extend 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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by us, is based on our credit evaluation of the customer.

NOTE 9 — REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Federal Reserve Board and other bank regulatory agencies have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for all banks and for bank holding companies whose consolidated assets are over $500 million. The main objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to take into account the different risks among banking organizations’ assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items. Bank regulatory agencies have supplemented the risk-based capital standard with a leverage ratio for Tier 1 capital to total reported assets. Failure to meet the capital adequacy guidelines and the framework for prompt corrective actions could initiate actions by the regulatory agencies, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the ASC defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This standard also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The table below presents the Atlantic’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (dollars in thousands).

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  – (continued)

Securities available-for-sale – The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities, other pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of government sponsored entities (GSE’s) and private issuers and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Certain other assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands).

Loans – 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 in accordance with loan impairment accounting guidance. 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

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  – (continued)

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.

Foreclosed assets – These assets are reported at the lower of the loan carrying amount at foreclosure (or repossession) or fair value written down by estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on third party appraisals for other real estate owned and other independent sources for repossessed assets, considering the assumptions in the valuation, and are considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs.

The following is a summary of activity of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (dollars in thousands):

Loans
  Foreclosed
Assets
  Total
Balance, December 31, 2008   $ 11,333     $ 3,496     $ 14,829

Balance, June 30, 2010   $ 12,223     $ 2,497     $ 14,720  

NOTE 11 — FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

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 those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities  — For securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available.If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Restricted Stock  — Fair value of Atlantic’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank and correspondent banks’ stock is its cost.

Loans Receivable  — For loans subject to repricing and loans intended for sale within six months, fair value is estimated at the carrying amount plus accrued interest. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities  — 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 long-term fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Other Borrowings  — For short-term debt, including accounts and demand notes payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For long-term debt, the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

NOTE 11 — FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES  – (continued)

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments  — Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on rates currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Other  — Accrued interest receivable on investment securities and loans and accrued interest payable on deposits and other borrowings are included in investment securities, loans, deposits, and other borrowings, accordingly. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

NOTE 12 — MERGER

On May 10, 2010, Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”), the bank holding company for The Jacksonville Bank, and Atlantic announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement providing for the merger of Atlantic into JBI. The merger agreement also contemplates the consolidation of Oceanside into The Jacksonville Bank. Additionally, JBI announced the signing of a stock purchase agreement with four private investors led by CapGen Capital Group IV LP (“CapGen”) providing for $30 million in new capital through the sale of newly issued shares of JBI common stock subject to completion of the mergers. The transactions have been approved by the Boards of Directors of each company and are subject to regulatory approval, shareholders’ approvals, and other customary conditions. JBI and Atlantic expect to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Atlantic’s shareholders will receive 0.2 shares of JBI common stock for each share of Atlantic’s common stock. A total of approximately 250,000 shares of JBI common stock is expected to be issued to Atlantic’s shareholders.

Under the merger agreement, if Oceanside sold certain assets prior to the effective time of the merger of Atlantic and JBI, the proceeds from such sale are to be distributed on a pro rata basis to Atlantic’s shareholders as part of the merger consideration. On June 30, 2010, Oceanside Bank sold such assets to an unaffiliated third party in exchange for $700,000 in cash. Based on 1,247,516 shares of Atlantic common stock presently outstanding, Atlantic estimates the per share distribution from the sale will be $0.56112.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Atlantic BancGroup, Inc.
and Subsidiaries
Jacksonville Beach, Florida

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered significant losses from operations and capital has been significantly depleted due to the economic downturn. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

General  — Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve and owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Oceanside Bank (“Oceanside”). Oceanside is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank, which opened July 21, 1997. Oceanside’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Holding Company’s primary business activities are the operations of Oceanside, and it operates in only one reportable industry segment: banking. Collectively, the entities are referred to as “Atlantic.” In 2008, Oceanside formed and began operating a subsidiary, S. Pt. Properties, Inc., for the sole purpose of managing a single real estate property acquired through foreclosure. In 2009, Oceanside formed and began operating two subsidiaries, Parman Place, Inc. and East Arlington, Inc., for the sole purpose of each managing a single real estate property acquired through foreclosure.

Regulatory Action  — Effective January 7, 2010, Oceanside entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order (“Stipulation”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”). Pursuant to the Stipulation, Oceanside has consented, without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulation, to the issuance of a Consent Order by the FDIC and the OFR, also effective as of January 7, 2010.

The Consent Order represents an agreement among Oceanside, the FDIC, and the OFR as to areas of Oceanside’s operations that warrant improvement and presents a plan for making those improvements. The Consent Order imposes no fines or penalties on Oceanside. A summary of the Consent Order follows:

Oceanside’s Board of Directors is required to increase its participation, approve a management plan for the purpose of providing qualified management for Oceanside, and provide more detailed management reports.
During the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall not add any individual to Oceanside’s Board of Directors or employ any individual as a senior executive officer without the prior non-objection of the FDIC and the OFR.
Within 90 days of the effective date of the Consent Order and, thereafter, during the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall achieve and maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of not less than 8% and a Total Risk Based Capital Ratio of not less than 11%.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

While the Consent Order remains in effect, Oceanside shall, within 30 days of the receipt of any official Report of Examination, eliminate from its books any remaining balance of any assets classified “Loss” and 50% percent of those classified “Doubtful”, unless otherwise approved in writing by the FDIC and the OFR. Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall formulate a plan, subject to approval by the FDIC and the OFR, to reduce Oceanside’s risk exposure in each asset, or relationship in excess of $500,000 classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in November 2008.
Oceanside shall also reduce the aggregate balance of assets classified “Substandard” by the FDIC in November 2008, in accordance with the following schedule: (i) within 90 days to not more than 100% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (ii) within 180 days to not more than 85% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; (iii) within 270 days to not more than 60% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL; and (iv) Within 360 days to not more than 50% of Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL. Oceanside is on schedule to meet the first and second targeted goals. Oceanside anticipates needing to increase its Tier 1 capital or successfully work out an appropriate amount of “Substandard” assets to meet the third and fourth targeted ratios.
Beginning with the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall not extend any credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan that has been charged off or classified “Loss” or “Doubtful” and is uncollected. Additionally, during the life of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit from Oceanside that has been classified “Substandard”, and is uncollected, unless Oceanside documents that such extension of credit is in Oceanside’s best interest.
Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside will engage a loan review analyst who shall review all loans exceeding $500,000.
Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall revise, adopt, and implement a written lending, underwriting, and collection policy to provide effective guidance and control over Oceanside’s lending function. In addition, Oceanside shall obtain adequate and current documentation for all loans in Oceanside’s loan portfolio. Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, the Board shall adopt and implement a policy limiting the use of loan interest reserves to certain types of loans.
Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall perform a risk segmentation analysis with respect to the any other concentration deemed important by Oceanside. The plan shall establish appropriate commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending risk limits and monitor concentrations of risk in relation to capital.
Within 30 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall formulate and fully implement a written plan and a comprehensive budget. Within 60 days from the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall prepare and submit to the FDIC and the OFR for comment a business strategic plan covering the overall operation of Oceanside.
Within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter following the effective date of the Consent Order, Oceanside shall furnish written progress reports to the FDIC and the OFR detailing the form, manner, and results of any actions taken to secure compliance.

Oceanside is in the process of evaluating and developing responses, policies, procedures, analyses, and training to address matters enumerated in the Consent Order. In management’s opinion, many of the cited criticisms have been addressed or Oceanside is no longer engaged in the activity.

Oceanside did not meet the April 7, 2010, deadline to raise additional capital as required by the Consent Order. However, the Holding Company is exploring strategic alternatives intended to result in attaining such capital ratios during 2010.

On March 26, 2010, the Holding Company entered into a mutual agreement (“Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (the “Reserve Bank”) to maintain the financial soundness of the Holding Company so that the Holding Company may serve as a source of strength to Oceanside. The Holding Company and the Reserve Bank agree as follows:

The Holding Company shall not declare or pay any dividends without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation (the “Director”) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board of Governors”).
The Holding Company shall not directly or indirectly take dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank.
The Holding Company and its nonbank subsidiary shall not make any distributions of interest, principal, or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank and the Director.
The Holding Company and any nonbank subsidiary shall not, directly or indirectly, incur, increase, or guarantee any debt without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank. All requests for prior written approval shall contain, but not be limited to, a statement regarding the purpose of the debt, the terms of the debt, and the planned source(s) for debt repayment, and an analysis of the cash flow resources available to meet such debt repayment.
The Holding Company shall not, directly or indirectly, purchase or redeem any shares of its stock without the prior written approval of the Reserve Bank.
In appointing any new director or senior executive officer, or changing the responsibilities of any senior executive officer so that the officer would assume a different senior executive officer position, the Holding Company shall comply with the notice provisions of section 32 of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. § 1831i) and Subpart H of Regulation Y of the Board of Governors (12 C.F.R. §§ 225.71 et seq.).
The Holding Company shall comply with the restrictions on indemnification and severance payments of section 18(k) of the FDI Act (12 U.S.C. § 1828(k)) and Part 359 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s regulations (12 C.F.R. Part 359).
Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of this Written Agreement, the board of directors shall submit to the Reserve Bank written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the provisions of this Written Agreement and the results thereof, and a parent company only balance sheet, income statement, and, as applicable, report of changes in stockholders’ equity.

Competition  — Oceanside, through four banking offices, provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses located primarily in East Duval and Northeast St. Johns counties of Florida. Atlantic funds its loans primarily by offering time, savings and money market, and demand deposit accounts to both commercial enterprises and individuals. Atlantic competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary markets including Internet-based institutions. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers and brokers, credit unions, and money market funds actively compete for

deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms, may be considered competitors of Atlantic with respect to one or more of the services it renders.

Basis of Presentation  — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oceanside. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Atlantic conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry.

Regulatory Environment  — Atlantic is subject to regulations of certain federal and state agencies and, accordingly, it is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, Atlantic’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal legislation and regulations.

Use of Estimates  — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairments of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets is based on estimates that may be affected by significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and the valuation of foreclosed assets, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

Atlantic’s loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although Atlantic has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local, state, and national economic conditions that may affect the value of the underlying collateral or the income of the debtor.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and to value foreclosed assets, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans and foreclosed assets may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans and the carrying value of foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require Atlantic to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management’s determination of the realization of deferred tax assets is based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing, nature, and amount of future income earned by certain subsidiaries and the implementation of various plans to maximize realization of deferred tax assets.

Atlantic has recorded a deferred tax asset (net of valuation allowances) to recognize the future income tax benefit of operating losses incurred for tax years 2009 and 2008. Management believes that the tax benefits on the net operating loss carry forwards will be utilized when Atlantic returns to profitability. Generally, the net operating losses can be carried forward for up to 20 years.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

On November 6, 2009, the “Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009” was signed into law, which relaxed the net operating loss carryback rules. As a result of this law, Atlantic was able to carryback net operating losses to obtain an estimated tax refund of $1.035 million.

In estimating the carrying value of deferred tax assets, management considered the cumulative loss position, projected taxable income, and available tax strategies in developing the analysis of any required deferred income tax asset valuation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2009 :

Cumulative losses in recent quarters suggested the need for a valuation allowance. However, management believed that this negative evidence was partially offset by the following positive evidence, which mitigated the need for reducing the carrying value (net of valuation allowances) to zero:

Atlantic has a prior history of taxable earnings prior to losses that began in 2008. Since inception in 1997, Atlantic has reported taxable income in 10 of 12 years through 2008, with cumulative taxable income of nearly $9.0 million through 2008.
Atlantic has reported and believes that changes have been made to allow Atlantic to return to a taxable earnings position, including reductions in payroll and other operating costs. Within the next 2-5 years, internal projections indicate that book and taxable income are more likely than not to return to levels approaching those prior to 2008.
Management has received and considered offers to purchase two of its branch locations and relocate to leased space (or lease-back its existing facilities). While the sale-leaseback would not likely generate significant book income immediately, the taxable income was projected to exceed $1.3 million.
Management and the Board of Directors have discussed a tax strategy that would generate taxable income of approximately $1.2 from the liquidation of bank-owned life insurance policies.
Converting tax-exempt investment income to taxable investment income, which could increase taxable income by almost $1.0 million and book income by $0.4 million.
Repurchase of junior subordinated debentures at a discount.
Termination of all or a portion of the Bank’s deferred compensation plan, which would generate up to $1.6 million in book taxable income and reduce the deferred tax asset by $0.6 million.

Based on the above analysis, management believes it is more likely than not that Atlantic will realize the deferred tax asset of $0.7 million at December 31, 2009 (net of a valuation allowance of $2.8 million) through future operating income and implementation of certain tax strategies.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 :

Management considered the cumulative losses in 2008 and the anticipated net operating loss for 2009 when determining whether or not to provide a valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset. The economic conditions and Atlantic’s level of non-performing assets were taken into consideration as well, which at December 31, 2009, had stabilized.

At December 31, 2008, management believed that the negative evidence was outweighed by certain positive evidence. Atlantic had a prior history of earnings outside of the recent losses and believed that changes had been made to allow Atlantic to return to an earnings position, including reductions in payroll and other

operating costs. At that time, management believed it was more likely than not that Atlantic would realize the deferred tax asset through future operating income. Accordingly, no deferred tax valuation allowance was recorded at December 31, 2008.

Accounting Hierarchy  — In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that restructured generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and simplified access to all authoritative literature by providing a single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. The guidance is presented in a topically organized structure referred to as the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The new structure is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing standards have been superseded and all other accounting literature not included is considered nonauthoritative. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on Atlantic’s results of operations or financial position.

Cash and Cash Equivalents  — For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows , cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits, and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, interest-bearing deposits include $438,000 and $154,000, respectively, of deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Oceanside is required by law or regulation to maintain cash reserves on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The minimum reserve balances were approximately $1,834,000 and $1,664,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Investment Securities  — Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when Atlantic has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using methods approximating the interest method over the period to maturity.

Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale are included in noninterest income and, when applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined by the specific-identification method.

Equity securities held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in noninterest income. During 2009 and 2008, Atlantic did not engage in trading securities.

The FASB recently issued accounting guidance related to the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment (FASB ASC 320-10). See the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section for additional information.

Prior to the adoption of the recent accounting guidance on April 1, 2009, management considered, in determining whether other-than-temporary impairment exists, (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.

Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. As of December 31, 2009, no securities were determined to have other than a temporary decline in fair value below cost.

Atlantic does not purchase, sell, or utilize off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for hedging purposes.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase  — Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. Securities, generally U.S. government and Federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or repledged by the secured party. The fair value of collateral either received from or provided to a third party is continually monitored, and additional collateral is obtained or requested to be returned as appropriate.

Restricted Stock  — At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Oceanside owned Federal Home Loan Bank stock, carried at cost, totaling $1,126,000 and $751,000, respectively. The stock is considered restricted, and the amount is required to be maintained based on a percentage of Oceanside’s total assets. Oceanside also maintained stock, carried at cost, as a condition of its correspondent banking relationship with one bank (two banks at December 31, 2008) totaling $25,000 and $204,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, Oceanside recognized a $179,000 loss on restricted stock owned at December 31, 2008, issued by one of the correspondent banks that was taken over by the FDIC during 2009.

Loans Held-for-Sale  — Residential loans held-for-sale are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements. Gains and losses resulting from sales of residential mortgage loans are recognized when Atlantic funds the loan and has a commitment from the purchaser. Atlantic had no significant loans held-for-sale as of December 31, 2009 or 2008. Loans originated for sale in 2008 totaled $11.6 million. The income from mortgage banking operations totaled $17,000 for 2008. There were no loans originated or income from mortgage banking operations in 2009.

Oceanside originates loans with a guaranty from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Oceanside does not classify SBA loans (or the SBA-guaranteed portion) as held-for-sale, as the intent is to generally hold SBA loans to maturity in Oceanside’s held-for-investment portfolio. There were no sales of SBA loans in 2009 or 2008. Typically, if an SBA loan is sold, no loan servicing is retained by Oceanside.

Loans Held-for-Investment  — Loans originated with the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are categorized as loans held-for-investment. These loans are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or capitalized costs. Loan origination fees are capitalized and certain direct origination costs are deferred. Both are recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan over the estimated life of the loan.

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent unless the loan is well collateralized and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Impaired Loans  — The allowance for loan losses is established as probable losses are estimated through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume 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 Atlantic will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due. 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. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Interest Rate Risk  — Atlantic’s asset base is exposed to risk including the risk resulting from changes in interest rates and changes in the timing of cash flows. Atlantic monitors the effect of such risks by considering the mismatch of the maturities of its assets and liabilities in the current interest rate environment and the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. Atlantic’s management has considered the effect of significant increases and decreases in interest rates and believes such changes, if they occurred, would be manageable and would not affect the ability of Atlantic to hold its assets as planned. However, Atlantic is exposed to significant market risk in the event of significant and prolonged interest rate changes.

Facilities  — Facilities are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Charges to income for depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets. When properties are sold or otherwise disposed of, the gain or loss resulting from the disposition is credited or charged to income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income, and renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Long-Lived Assets  — Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Certain long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Foreclosed Assets (Including Other Real Estate Owned ) — Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the foreclosed asset is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent changes in value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount, not to exceed the initial carrying value of the foreclosed assets at the time of the transfer. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other operating expenses. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, foreclosed assets including repossessed vehicles and other assets totaled $-0- and $75,000, respectively, and other real estate owned of $1,727,000 and $3,421,000, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments  — In the ordinary course of business, Atlantic has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, which may include standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become payable.

Transfers of Financial Assets  — Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (i) the assets have been isolated from Atlantic, (ii) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (iii) Atlantic does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Benefit Plans  — Costs associated with the savings incentive plan ( see Note 9 ) are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense when accrued. The accounting for income and costs associated with the director and management benefit plans is more fully described at Note 9 .

Income Taxes  — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between revenues and expenses reported for financial statement purposes and those reported for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against assets that are not likely to be realized.

Comprehensive Income  — ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. ASC 220 was issued to address concerns over the practice of reporting elements of comprehensive income directly in equity. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 220, Atlantic has included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements comprehensive income resulting from such activities. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of the net income (loss) and net unrealized gains (losses) on investment securities available-for-sale.

These amounts are reported net of the income tax benefit (expense) less any related allowance for realization. Also, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is included as a separate disclosure within the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Computation of Per Share Earnings  — Basic earnings (losses) per share (“EPS”) amounts are computed by dividing net earnings (losses) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Diluted EPS are computed by dividing net earnings (losses) by the weighted average number of shares and all dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. Atlantic has no dilutive potential shares outstanding for 2009 or 2008. The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands except per share data):

Diluted EPS   $ (5.80 )     $ (1.54 )  

Advertising and Business Development  — Atlantic expenses advertising and business development costs as incurred. Advertising and business development costs for 2009 and 2008 as included in other operating expenses were $95,000 and $145,000, respectively.

Guarantees  — ASC 460, Guarantees, requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value. In general, ASC 460 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying obligation that is related to an asset, liability, or an equity security of the guaranteed party. Atlantic has not begun recording a liability and an offsetting asset for the fair value of any standby letters of credit because Interpretation 45 was not material to the financial condition or results of operations of Atlantic. Interpretation 45 also requires certain disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. These disclosures are included in Note 9 .

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  — In June 2009, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation , which amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The new authoritative accounting guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on Atlantic’s financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . This ASC provides additional guidance in determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to use judgment to

ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on Atlantic’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 825-10-50, Financial Instruments , which relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. This guidance amended existing GAAP to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Atlantic has presented the necessary disclosures in Note 14 herein.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 320-10, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities , which provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Atlantic has presented the necessary disclosures in Note 14 herein.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820 ) —  Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value . This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. Atlantic is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on Atlantic’s financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

The FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events , which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The required disclosures are provided in Note 1 below.

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Post-retirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to post-retirement periods. Under EITF 06-4, life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee. Accordingly, the entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS 106, “Employer’s Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” Atlantic adopted EITF 06-4 on January 1, 2008, as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings totaling $80,979.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES  – (continued)

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to Atlantic’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events  — During 2009, Atlantic adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events , that addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under ASC 855, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts  — Certain comparative amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentations. Such reclassifications did not affect net income or retained earnings.

NOTE 2 — REGULATORY OVERSIGHT, CAPITAL ADEQUACY, OPERATING LOSSES, AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

As a result of the extraordinary effects of what may ultimately be the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, the capital of Atlantic and Oceanside have been significantly depleted. The combined losses in 2009 and 2008 of $9.2 million recorded by Atlantic were attributable to significant increases in the provision for credit losses, write-downs on nonperforming assets, the establishment of a valuation reserve against Atlantic’s deferred tax asset, and the reduced loan interest and fee income and higher costs associated with nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. The impact of the current financial crisis in the U.S. and abroad is having far-reaching consequences and it is difficult to say at this point when the economy will begin to recover. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to resume profitable operations in the near future, or at all.

We have determined that significant additional sources of capital or the implementation of strategies to enhance existing capital will be required for us to resume profitable operations beyond 2010. Atlantic’s Board of Directors has formed a strategic planning committee. The committee has hired an investment banking firm to seek all strategic alternatives to enhance the stability of Atlantic including a capital investment, sale, strategic merger, or some form of restructuring. We are exploring other options to restructure our balance sheet to generate income and capital. There can be no assurance that Atlantic will succeed in these efforts and be able to comply with the new regulatory requirements. In addition, a transaction, which would likely involve equity financing, would result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders and could adversely affect the price of our common stock. If Atlantic does not comply with mandated capital requirements, the regulators could take additional enforcement action against the Holding Company and Oceanside.

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.

Based upon the financial condition of Oceanside, and subsequent correspondence and discussions with the FDIC, we have entered into a Consent Order that has been described in detail at Note 1 . Based on our budget approved in our most recent strategic planning session of the Board of Directors, we need approximately $1-2 million in capital to achieve and maintain the adequately capitalized status during 2010. To achieve the capital levels mandated by the Consent Order, we must increase our capital $13-$15 million, which may come from a combination of raising new capital and/or restructuring our balance sheet. Besides

our efforts to raise additional capital, we have identified up to $4 million in other changes that may improve our capital ratios including eliminating our bank owned life insurance, reducing or eliminating certain retirement benefits, and the potential sale of assets. In order to improve our Tier 1 leverage ratio, we may also shrink our total assets.

Atlantic’s short term capital plan is to improve our risk-based capital ratios to keep Oceanside adequately capitalized during 2010, based on Tier 1 leverage ratio requirements. This may be achieved by raising additional capital or successfully executing other strategies. While capital has been difficult to raise, community banks in our local market have successfully raised capital in 2009 and 2010.

Our losses in 2009 and 2008 were largely due to the rapid deterioration in the credit quality of a few of our loans secured by real estate. While we cannot predict the timing of any recovery in our local market and unemployment remains at high levels, some improvements have been noted as follows:

Our level of past due loans at year-end 2009 have improved from year-end 2008, with an overall reduction of $2.2 million of which $1.8 million is attributable to the 30-89 days past due category — possibly a lending indicator of a reduction in future charge-offs.
A significant portion of our 2009 and 2008 charge-offs and expenses related to two projects and one single family residence. Approximately 68% of the total charge-offs of $6.4 million in 2009 and 2008 were attributable to one multifamily project and a single family residence. Specifically identified expenses related to the multifamily project and other real estate owned reduced earning by $1.2 million in 2009 and $0.8 million in 2008.
Despite recording net charge-offs of $6.3 million during 2009 and 2008, we increased our allowance for loan losses to 3.25% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses covers over 97% of our nonperforming loans at December 31, 2009. If the economy improves, the level of future additions to these reserves may subside, which will likely improve our capital ratios as the overall credit risks decline.
In 2009, we took a noncash charge to earnings of $2.8 million to establish a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets. While Atlantic has a history of earnings prior to 2008, accounting practices limit our continued recognition of the deferred tax assets in 2009. We expect to be able to utilize some or all of these benefits once the current economic cycle improves and we return to our historical profit levels.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009 and continuing into 2010, we have been reducing Oceanside’s total assets. Our unaudited and preliminary results at March 31, 2010, show Oceanside’s total bank-only assets at $286.1 million, a reduction of $11.3 million from December 31, 2009. This contributed to an increase in our Tier 1 leverage ratio from 4.06% to 4.32%.
Atlantic is exposed to the weakened real estate conditions in the Florida markets of Duval and St. Johns Counties. Atlantic believes the challenging market conditions are primarily attributable to a regional softening in demand for real estate assets as well as an oversupply of residential and commercial properties, particularly within Atlantic’s local markets. However, existing home sales by area realtors have increased substantially and this decrement in existing real estate inventories, if sustained, may drive improvement in the regional economy during the coming year. For comparison, 2009 single-family, existing homes and condominiums increased 21% and 38% over 2008 levels. While some trends have stabilized or have begun to show improvement, we remain susceptible to rising unemployment rates for the region that are expected to remain relatively high through 2010.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a monthly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of Atlantic to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT SECURITIES  – (continued)

The unrealized losses on investment securities were caused by interest rate changes. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because Atlantic has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The estimated fair value of securities is determined on the basis of market quotations.

The following is a summary of the effects on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity at December 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

   
  2009   2008
Gross unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale   $ (20 )     $ (1 )

The following presents the net change in unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available-for-sale that are shown as a component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

   
  2009   2008
Unrealized holding gains on investment securities arising during period   $ 37     $ 480

Income tax benefit (expense) related to items of other comprehensive income (loss)     7       (51 )  
Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax   $ (12 )     $ 83  

Gross gains and losses on sales of investment securities in 2009 totaled $56,000 and $-0-, respectively. Gross gains and losses on sales of investment securities in 2008 totaled $346,000 and $-0-, respectively.

At December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying value of $1,497,000 and fair value of $1,443,000 were pledged to secure deposits of public funds from the state of Florida and treasury tax and loan deposits with the Federal Reserve. Securities were pledged as collateral for Federal Reserve Borrowings and to secure public funds from the State of Florida, Federal Reserve discount window, and treasury tax and loan deposits in 2009 and 2008. The amortized cost of these securities was $5,656,000 and $5,023,000, respectively, and the fair values of these pledged securities were $5,461,000 and $4,711,000 respectively, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

There were no securities of a single issuer (which were non-governmental or non-government sponsored) that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 or 2008.

NOTE 7 — OTHER BORROWINGS

Short-Term Debt, Customer Repurchase Agreements.   Atlantic has sold securities under agreements to repurchase, which effectively collateralize overnight borrowings.

The average balance of customer repurchase agreements for 2008 was $10,960,000, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.88%. Interest of $206,000 was recorded in 2008. The average balance of customer repurchase agreements and related interest expense was $-0- for 2009.

Other Short-term Borrowings.   Atlantic purchases federal funds for liquidity needs during the year. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no federal funds purchased. The average federal funds purchased during 2008, was $2,445,000, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.27%. Interest of $80,000 was recorded in 2008.

FHLB of Atlanta Advances.   At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Atlantic had obtained advances from FHLB of $12,300,000 and $6,300,000, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the advances were collateralized by Atlantic’s FHLB capital stock in the amount of $1,126,000 and $751,000, respectively, and a blanket lien on eligible wholly-owned residential (1-4 units) loans, commercial first mortgage loans, and home equity loans with a carrying value of $43.3 million and $41.4 million, respectively. A summary follows (dollars in thousands):

           
  Maturity
Date
  Interest Expense   Balance of Advances
at December 31,
  Interest Rate
  2009   2008   2009   2008
Convertible fixed rate debt     11/17/2010       4.45 %     $ 2,300     $ 2,300     $ 104     $ 104  
Fixed rate advances     12/20/2010       1.91 %       2,000       4,000       64       45  
Fixed rate advances     01/09/2012       2.30 %       8,000             181        
                 $ 12,300     $ 6,300     $ 349     $ 149  

The weighted average rate for FHLB advances was 2.74% in 2009 and 3.27% in 2008. At December 31, 2009, the FHLB had determined that of the $43.3 million of pledged collateral, $21.6 million was the lendable collateral value.

Junior Subordinated Debentures.   On September 15, 2005, Atlantic participated in a pooled offering of trust preferred securities. Atlantic formed Atlantic BancGroup Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a wholly-owned statutory trust subsidiary for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of $3,000,000 in trust preferred securities to acquire fixed/floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of Atlantic in the amount of $3,093,000. The trust preferred securities essentially mirror the debt securities, carrying a cumulative preferred dividend at a fixed rate of 5.886% equal to the interest rate on the debt securities, both payable quarterly for five years. Beginning September 15, 2010, the quarterly rates vary based on the three month LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The debt securities and the trust preferred securities each have 30-year lives. The trust preferred securities and the debt securities are callable by Atlantic or the Trust, at their respective option after five years, and at varying premiums and sooner in specific events, subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board, if then required. Atlantic has treated the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital up to the maximum amount allowed, and the remainder, if any, as Tier 2 capital for federal regulatory purposes. There are no required principal payments on the junior subordinated debentures over the next five years. Interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures totaled $183,000 in 2009 and $185,000 in 2008.

Under ASC 810, Consolidations , the Trust is not consolidated with Atlantic. Accordingly, Atlantic does not report the securities issued by the Trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the junior subordinated debentures issued by Atlantic and held by the Trust. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Atlantic’s investment in the statutory trust of $93,000 has been included in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary.

NOTE 8 — INCOME TAXES  – (continued)

The tax effects of each type of significant item that gave rise to deferred taxes are (dollars in thousands):

   
  December 31,
     2009   2008
Allowance for loan losses   $ 1,978     $ 1,250  
Director and management benefit plans     617       514

Other real estate owned write-downs     402       181

Net deferred tax asset     3,476       2,003  
Valuation allowance     (2,768 )        
     $ 708     $ 2,003  

Income tax (benefit) expense of $(7,000) and $51,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively, have been netted in the caption “Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities arising during period” found in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) .

ASC 740, Income Taxes (see Note 1 ), specifies that deferred income tax assets are to be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2009, a valuation allowance of $2,768,000 was established related to the continued net operating losses in 2009. Realization of the remaining $708,000 of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in the future (or implementing tax strategies) prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that $708,000 of the deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

As discussed in Note 1 , based on management’s expectations of future earnings and tax strategies at December 31, 2008, no valuation allowance was established.

During 2009, Atlantic carried back all of its federal net operating losses and recorded a refund receivable estimated at $1,035,000. Atlantic has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.8 million, which are available to offset state income taxes in future years. These state net operating loss carryforwards do not expire.

ASC 740 requires the presentation of a reconciliation of any unrecognized tax benefits as of the beginning and end of the year. During the period and as of December 31, 2009, there are no unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, no analysis of unrecognized tax benefits is included herein.

Interest and penalties associated with income tax filing requirements are recognized as a component of income tax expense, if material. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, there is no material amount of penalties and interest related to tax return filings of Atlantic.

Atlantic’s consolidated income tax returns have not been audited since its inception. Atlantic’s management believes that the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009 are considered open, and would be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service if selected for audit.

NOTE 9 — BENEFIT PLANS

SIMPLE Plan.   Atlantic sponsors a savings incentive plan (“SIMPLE Plan”) that covers substantially all employees. Atlantic matches each participant’s contribution, subject to a maximum of 3% through July 15, 2009, and thereafter, 1% of the participant’s salary. The SIMPLE Plan is a prototype plan and has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service. The amount included in salaries and employee benefits as pension expense totaled $39,000 and $64,000 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Director and Management Benefit Plans.   Atlantic has adopted retirement benefit plans for Atlantic’s seven directors (including one director emeritus) and four of its current and former officers. The purpose of these plans is to retain qualified directors and members of management by offering a retirement benefit. Benefits under the plans began vesting over a five-year period, with service beginning in 1997. Upon his resignation from Atlantic, a former officer and director was 60% vested. All of the directors and the three current officers are fully vested at December 31, 2009.

Atlantic has purchased a pool of life insurance policies totaling $4,050,000 with funds that had previously been invested in overnight federal funds sold. The policies have cash surrender values that can progressively grow, based on a fluctuating index of life insurance securities, resulting in an earnings stream to Atlantic. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the cash surrender values of these life insurance policies totaled $5,097,000 and $4,886,000 respectively. For 2009, the average yield on these life insurance policies was estimated at 4.45% (or a taxable equivalent yield of 7.12%).

Under the plans, as amended, eight of the current participants will begin receiving benefit payments for fifteen years following retirement. In addition, the beneficiaries of these eight participants will each receive death benefits of the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) net investment at risk in the underlying insurance policies (cash value), with any remaining policy cash value payable to Atlantic. The remaining three participants will receive benefit payments over a twenty-year period following retirement. Following a participant’s death, any unpaid benefits will continue to the beneficiary (or beneficiaries) over the remaining term.

A summary of the activity for the director and management benefit plans follows (dollars in thousands):

   
  December 31,
     2009   2008
Policy income included in other income   $ 229     $ 220  
Plan expense included in other operating expenses     (275 )       (294 )  
Life insurance expense included in other operating expenses     (17 )       (14 )  
Deferred income tax benefit     103       110  
Net after income tax benefit   $ 40     $ 22  

In late-2008, director fees were discontinued and no director fees were paid in 2009. Beginning in 2010, the benefit expense accrual for the director and management plans was also discontinued.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit-Related Financial Instruments .   Atlantic is a party to credit-related 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, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Atlantic’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. Atlantic follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  – (continued)

Commitments to extend 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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by Atlantic, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit may not be fully collateralized but generally contain a specified maturity date. Certain conditions may exist that would prevent the customer from drawing upon the total amount to which Atlantic is committed.

Commercial and standby letters-of-credit are conditional commitments issued by Atlantic to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. All letters of credit issued and outstanding at December 31, 2009, totaling $1,174,000, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Atlantic generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk for Atlantic (dollars in thousands):

   
  2009   2008
Commitments to extend credit (including unused lines of credit):
                 
Revolving, open-end lines secured by 1 – 4 family residential properties (home equity lines)   $ 3,630     $ 4,983  
Commercial real estate, construction, and land development secured by real estate     1,186       2,186  
Other     4,548       3,311  
       9,364       10,480  
Standby letters of credit     1,174       1,701  
     $ 10,538     $ 12,181  

Derivative Loan Commitments.   At December 31, 2009, Atlantic did not have any material amounts of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans that will be sold to investors at a specified time in the future.

Collateral Requirements.   To reduce credit risk related to the use of credit-related financial instruments, Atlantic might deem it necessary to obtain collateral. The amount and nature of the collateral obtained is based on Atlantic’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and real estate. Access to the collateral is generally achieved by either (i) maintaining possession of the collateral, (ii) placing a recorded lien in the appropriate jurisdiction, or (iii) other means such as an assignment.

If the counterparty does not have the right and ability to redeem the collateral or Atlantic is permitted to sell or repledge the collateral on short notice, Atlantic records the collateral on its consolidated balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding obligation to return it.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  – (continued)

Exposure to Transactions with Correspondent Banks and Related Limitations on Interbank Liabilities.   In the ordinary course of business, Oceanside may incur a loss if a correspondent bank defaults upon an obligation, which may include overnight federal funds, loan participations, and other interbank transactions. Management monitors its risks with these correspondents and places certain limitations upon the exposure.

Litigation.   Atlantic may periodically be a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business, such as claims to enforce liens, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, and other issues incident to Atlantic’s operations. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not believe that there are any pending or threatened proceedings against Atlantic which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on Atlantic’s consolidated financial position.

Change of Control Agreements.   Atlantic has entered into agreements with its three executive officers that would provide certain benefits in the event of a change of control (as defined in the agreement) and, within three years of the change in control, the executive officer is terminated (without cause) or resigns. The change of control benefits include cash payments equal to 2.99 times the executive officer’s base annual compensation (as defined in the agreement) and continuation of health benefits for six months.

Other.   At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Oceanside had $10.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, of unsecured and secured lines of credit from other banks for the purchase of overnight federal funds. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, Atlantic had outstanding purchases in overnight federal funds of $-0- and $-0-, respectively, leaving $10.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, available under these lines.

At December 31, 2009, securities with an amortized cost of $4.2 million and fair value of $4.0 were pledged to secure available advances of $3.1 million at the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Amounts available to be drawn at the Federal Reserve Discount Window are only allowed as overnight secondary credit and require prior approval from the Federal Reserve.

NOTE 11 — CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

Substantially all of Atlantic’s loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in northeast Florida, including Duval and St. Johns counties. Atlantic’s loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although Atlantic has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local, state, and national economic conditions, which can be affected by a number of events domestically and internationally.

The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 3 . The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. Atlantic, as a matter of policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess of its legal lending limit. As a state-chartered bank, Oceanside’s 15% legal lending limit was approximately $2.9 million at December 31, 2009 ($4.8 million for loans qualifying for the 25% limit). Atlantic does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTIES

Atlantic has entered into transactions with its directors, executive officers, significant stockholders, and their affiliates ( insiders ). Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.

Unfunded commitments to the same parties totaled $230,000 and $579,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, deposits and customer repurchase agreements with insiders totaled approximately $1.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock.   In addition to the 10,000,000 shares of authorized common stock, Atlantic’s articles of incorporation authorize up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors is further authorized to establish designations, powers, preferences, rights, and other terms for preferred stock by resolution. No shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Dividends.   The ability of Atlantic to pay dividends to stockholders depends primarily on dividends received by Atlantic from its subsidiary, Oceanside. Oceanside’s ability to pay dividends is limited by federal and state banking regulations based upon Oceanside’s profitability and other factors. State banking statutes further require (i) prior approval, (ii) that at least 20% of the prior year’s earnings be transferred to additional paid-in capital ( surplus ) annually until surplus equals or exceeds Oceanside’s common stock, and (iii) that certain minimum capital levels are maintained. There were no retained earnings available at December 31, 2009, to pay cash dividends. Furthermore, the Consent Order discussed in Note 1 prohibits Oceanside from paying dividends to Atlantic. Atlantic’s dividend policy is to retain accumulated earnings to support its growth and maintain its capital levels.

NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

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 Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits  — For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities  — For securities held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Restricted Stock  — Fair value of Atlantic’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank and correspondent banks’ stock is its cost.

Loans Receivable  — For loans subject to repricing and loans intended for sale within six months, fair value is estimated at the carrying amount plus accrued interest. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities  — 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 long-term fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Other Borrowings  — For short-term debt, including accounts and demand notes payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of customer repurchase agreements is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. For long-term debt, the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments  — Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on rates currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Other  — Accrued interest receivable on investment securities and loans and accrued interest payable on deposits and other borrowings are included in investment securities, loans, deposits, and other borrowings, accordingly. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

While these estimates of fair value are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were Atlantic to have disposed of such items at December 31, 2009, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2009, should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.

Atlantic has adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about

fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

ASC 820-10 emphasizes that fair value is market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Level 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liabilities, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where more than one level of input exists for assets or liabilities, the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety will be used in determining the fair value hierarchy. Atlantic’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The table below presents Atlantic’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Securities available-for-sale — The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities, other pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations of government sponsored entities (GSE’s) and private issuers and obligations of states and political subdivision.

Certain other assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets.

Loans — 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 in accordance with the implementation guidance in ASC 310, Receivables . 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.

Foreclosed assets — These assets are reported at the lower of the loan carrying amount at foreclosure (or repossessions) or fair value written down by estimated cost to sale. Fair value is based on third party appraisals for other real estate owned and other independent sources for repossessed assets, considering the assumptions in the valuation, and are considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs.

NOTE 16 — REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

The Federal Reserve Board and other bank regulatory agencies have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for all banks and for bank holding companies whose consolidated assets are over $500 million. The main objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to take into account the different risks among banking organizations’ assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items. Bank regulatory agencies have supplemented the risk-based capital standard with a leverage ratio for Tier 1 capital to total reported assets.

Failure to meet the capital adequacy guidelines and the framework for prompt corrective actions could initiate actions by the regulatory agencies, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2009, Oceanside had not reached the capital levels specified in the Consent Order. There are no conditions or events, since the most recent notification, that management believes have changed the prompt corrective action category.

Recitals

1. As of May 10, 2010, ABI and JBI entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

2. The parties wish to amend in certain specific respects the terms of the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties agree as follows:

Agreement

1. The second paragraph of the Preamble to the Merger Agreement is amended by changing “3 million shares” to “3.89 million shares” and “$10.00 per share” to “$9.00 per share.”

2. The last sentence of Section 3.1(b) of the Merger Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“In addition, each share of ABI Common Stock shall entitle its holder to receive cash in the amount of $0.67 per share.”

3. Section 8.18 of the Merger Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

4. Section 9.1(g) of the Merger Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(g) Stock Purchase Agreement . The conditions set forth in Article IV of the Stock Purchase Agreement (other than Section 4.06 thereof) shall have been satisfied.”

5. Section 9.2(h) of the Merger Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“(h) Matters Relating to Compensation Matters . There shall be in existence no change in control agreements, salary continuation agreements, director retirement agreements, executive indexed retirement agreements or similar compensation or severance agreements between any ABI Company and any individual. All such agreements and any similar benefit accrual plans or savings incentive plans (excluding ABI’s SIMPLE Plan), shall have been terminated within thirty (30) days prior to Closing, with the executives who are parties to the Change in Control Agreements listed on Schedule 9.2(h) having entered into one-year employment agreements or severance agreements providing one-year’s salary with JBI (the terms of each such agreement summarized on such Schedule 9.2(h) ). ABI’s SIMPLE Plan shall be terminated at the end of the Plan year, or as soon as permitted by law. At the time of termination, all accrued benefits under such agreements or plans shall have been reflected on the books of the appropriate ABI Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any split-dollar life insurance agreements or survivor income agreements in existence between any ABI Company and any individual may remain in effect and are not required to be terminated prior to Closing.”

6. This First Amendment is subject to, and shall become effective upon, (i) counterparts of this First Amendment being executed and delivered by each party hereto and (ii) the execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto of Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 .

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 10, 2010, by and between Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“JBI”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida, with its principal office located in Jacksonville, Florida, and Atlantic BancGroup, Inc. (“ABI”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida, with its principal office located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

Preamble

The Boards of Directors of ABI and JBI are of the opinion that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of the Parties and their respective stockholders. This Agreement provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of ABI with and into JBI. At the Effective Time of such Merger, the outstanding shares of the capital stock of ABI shall be converted into the right to receive shares of JBI Common Stock (as provided herein). The Merger is subject to the approvals of the stockholders of ABI, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve Board, and the satisfaction of certain other conditions described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties to this Agreement that, for federal income tax purposes, the merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC.

In connection with the execution of this Agreement, JBI is entering into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with CapGen Capital Group IV LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“CapGen”) and other investors acting severally and not jointly (collectively with CapGen, the “Investors”), under which the Investors are agreeing to purchase, and JBI is agreeing to sell, in the aggregate, approximately 3 million shares of JBI Common Stock (the “Stock Purchase”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, subject to and conditioned upon, among other things, (i) each of the Investors obtaining all necessary Regulatory Authority Consents, including CapGen obtaining prior consent, approval, authorization, clearance, exemption, waiver or similar act from the applicable Regulatory Authorities to the effect that CapGen’s investment in the Surviving Corporation would not be deemed or construed to be an ownership of more than 49.9% for GAAP or regulatory accounting purposes for purposes of the capital rules of the applicable Regulatory Authorities, and that CapGen and the Surviving Corporation will be “well capitalized” for all purposes of the applicable Regulatory Authorities immediately following the Stock Purchase, (ii) the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) the approval by JBI stockholders of the Stock Purchase and the amendment and restatement of its Articles of Incorporation contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 11.1 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

TRANSACTIONS AND TERMS OF MERGER

1.1   Merger . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, ABI shall be merged with and into JBI in accordance with, and with the effect provided in, the applicable provisions of the FBCA.

The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the JBI Board and the ABI Board.

A-2-1


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provided in, 12 U.S.C. 215a on terms and subject to the provisions of the Bank Plan of Merger (the “Bank Plan”), attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Bank Plan shall be executed and the transactions contemplated therein shall be consummated at such time as JBI directs, which shall immediately follow the effective time of the Merger or on such later date as JBI may direct. ABI, as sole shareholder of ABI Bank, shall vote all shares of capital stock of ABI Bank in favor of the Bank Plan and the Bank Merger provided therein.

1.4   Restructuring of the Merger . JBI shall have the right to amend the structure of the Merger and other transactions herein contemplated in order to assure that the Merger, for federal income tax purposes, shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, provided, that no such revision to the structure of the Merger shall result in (a) any changes in the amount or type of the consideration which the holders of shares of ABI Common Stock are entitled to receive under this Agreement, or (b) would unreasonably impede or delay consummation of the Merger. JBI may exercise this right by giving written notice to ABI in the manner provided in Section 11.6, which notice shall be in the form of an amendment to this Agreement to be executed pursuant to Section 11.3.

1.5   Effective Time . The Merger and other transactions provided for in this Agreement (other than the Bank Merger) shall become effective: (a) on the date and at the time that the Articles of Merger reflecting the Merger shall be accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Florida, or (b) on such date and at such time subsequent to the date and time established pursuant to subsection 1.5(a) above as may be specified by the Parties in the Articles of Merger (such time is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”). The Bank Merger shall become effective on the date specified by JBI. Unless JBI and ABI otherwise mutually agree in writing, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time to occur on the date of Closing.

1.6   Stockholders’ Agreements . Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as a material condition hereto, each member of the ABI Board and Board of Directors of ABI Bank has executed and delivered a Stockholders Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

CONVERSION OF CONSTITUENTS’ CAPITAL SHARES

(a) Each share of JBI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(b) Subject to the potential adjustment provided for in Section 3.2 below, each share of ABI Common Stock (excluding shares held by any ABI Company, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, and excluding shares held by stockholders who perfect their dissenters’ rights of appraisal as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for 0.2 shares of JBI Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, each share of ABI Common Stock shall entitle its holder to receive cash in the amount, if any, described in Section 8.18 hereof.

A-2-2


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.2   Anti-Dilution Provisions . In the event JBI changes the number of shares of JBI Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted as needed to preserve the relative economic benefit to the Parties.

3.3   Shares Held by ABI . Each of the shares of ABI Common Stock held by any ABI Company, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

3.4   Dissenting Stockholders . Any holder of shares of ABI Common Stock who perfects his dissenter’s rights of appraisal in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 607.1301-607.1333 of the FBCA (the “Dissenter Provisions”) shall be entitled to receive the value of such shares in cash as determined pursuant to such provision of Law; provided, however, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting stockholder unless and until such dissenting stockholder has complied with the applicable provisions of the FBCA and surrendered to the Surviving Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares for which payment is being made; provided, further, nothing contained in this Section 3.4 shall in any way limit the right of JBI to terminate this Agreement and abandon the Merger pursuant to subsection 10.1(i) below. If any dissenting stockholder gives notice to ABI, ABI will promptly give JBI notice thereof, and JBI will have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. ABI will not, except with the prior written consent of JBI, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. In the event that after the Effective Time a dissenting stockholder of ABI fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, his right to appraisal and of payment for his shares, the Surviving Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder the consideration to which such holder of shares of ABI Common Stock is entitled under this Article 3 (without interest) upon surrender by such holder of the certificate or certificates representing shares of ABI Common Stock held by him.

3.5   Fractional Shares . No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of JBI Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of certificates for exchange; no dividend or distribution with respect to JBI Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share; and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of JBI. In lieu of any such fractional share, JBI shall pay to each former stockholder of ABI who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of JBI Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying (a) $10.00 by (b) the fraction of a share of JBI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled.

ARTICLE IV

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

4.1   Exchange Procedures . Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to the former stockholders of ABI appropriate transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of ABI Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent). Upon surrender of a certificate or certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent (such shares to be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances), together with a properly executed letter of transmittal, the ABI Common Stock certificate or certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled, and the holder of such certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, a certificate representing that number of whole shares of JBI Common Stock which such holder of ABI Common Stock became entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 hereof, and a check representing the aggregate cash consideration, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 hereof relating to fractional shares and/or Section 8.18 hereof. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or any unpaid dividends and distributions, or the cash payable pursuant to Section 8.18 hereof, if any, payable to holders of certificates for ABI Common Stock. Subject to provision for lost shares as set forth in Section 4.4 hereof, the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of ABI Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders his certificate or certificates representing the shares of ABI Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 4.1. The certificate or certificates for ABI Common Stock so surrendered shall be

A-2-3


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither the Surviving Corporation, nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to a holder of ABI Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law. Each of the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of ABI Common Stock such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the IRC or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of ABI Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

4.2   Rights of Former ABI Stockholders . The stock transfer books of ABI shall be closed as to holders of ABI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no transfer of ABI Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of ABI Common Stock (“ABI Certificate”), other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement or as to which dissenter’s rights of appraisal have been perfected as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement, shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement in exchange therefor. To the extent permitted by Law, former stockholders of record of ABI Common Stock shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of JBI stockholders the number of whole shares of JBI Common Stock into which their respective shares of ABI Common Stock are converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their ABI Certificates for certificates representing JBI Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by JBI on the JBI Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any person holding any ABI Certificate at or after the Effective Time shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution payable after the Effective Time to holders of JBI Common Stock, which dividend or other distribution is attributable to such person’s JBI Common Stock represented by said ABI Certificate held after the Effective Time, until such person surrenders said ABI Certificate for exchange as provided in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. However, upon surrender of such ABI Certificate, both the JBI Common Stock certificate (together with all such undelivered dividends or other distributions, without interest) and any undelivered cash payments (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such ABI Certificate. No holder of shares of ABI Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions declared or made with respect to the JBI Common Stock with a record date before the Effective Time of the Merger.

4.3   Identity of Recipient of JBI Common Stock . In the event that the delivery of the consideration provided for in this Agreement is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name any certificate representing shares of ABI Common Stock surrendered is registered, such certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer), with the signature(s) appropriately guaranteed, and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the delivery to a person other than the registered holder of such certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of JBI that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

4.4   Lost or Stolen Certificates . If any holder of ABI Common Stock convertible into the right to receive shares of JBI Common Stock is unable to deliver the ABI Certificate that represents ABI Common Stock, the Exchange Agent, in the absence of actual notice that any such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such holder the shares of JBI Common Stock to which the holder is entitled for such shares upon presentation of the following: (a) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of JBI that any such ABI Certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed; (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by JBI to indemnify and hold JBI and the Exchange Agent harmless; and (c) evidence satisfactory to JBI that such person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each ABI Certificate claimed by the holder to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that the holder is the person who would be entitled to present such ABI Certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) For the purposes of paragraph (d) only, the term “beneficial owner” means any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, or understanding, other than a revocable proxy, has or shares the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, shares, provided that a member of a national securities exchange shall not be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities held directly or indirectly by it on behalf of another person solely because such member is the recordholder of such securities if the member is precluded by the rules of such exchange from voting without instruction on contested matters or matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of the securities to be voted. When two or more persons agree to act together for the purpose of voting their shares of the corporation, each member of the group formed thereby shall be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, as of the date of such agreement, of all voting shares of the corporation beneficially owned by any member of the group.

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the articles of incorporation as originally filed or any amendment thereto may limit or eliminate appraisal rights for any class or series of preferred shares, but any such limitation or elimination contained in an amendment to the articles of incorporation that limits or eliminates appraisal rights for any of such shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such amendment or that the corporation is or may be required to issue or sell thereafter pursuant to any conversion, exchange, or other right existing immediately before the effective date of such amendment shall not apply to any corporate action that becomes effective within 1 year of that date if such action would otherwise afford appraisal rights.

(4) A shareholder entitled to appraisal rights under this chapter may not challenge a completed corporate action for which appraisal rights are available unless such corporate action:

(a) Was not effectuated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this section or the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or board of directors’ resolution authorizing the corporate action; or

(b) Was procured as a result of fraud or material misrepresentation.

607.1303. Assertion of rights by nominees and beneficial owners

(1) A record shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in the record shareholder’s name but owned by a beneficial shareholder only if the record shareholder objects with respect to all shares of the class or series owned by the beneficial shareholder and notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of each beneficial shareholder on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. The rights of a record shareholder who asserts appraisal rights for only part of the shares held of record in the record shareholder’s name under this subsection shall be determined as if the shares as to which the record shareholder objects and the record shareholder’s other shares were registered in the names of different record shareholders.

(2) A beneficial shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to shares of any class or series held on behalf of the shareholder only if such shareholder:

(a) Submits to the corporation the record shareholder’s written consent to the assertion of such rights no later than the date referred to in s. 607.1322(2)(b)2.

A date by which the corporation must receive the form, which date may not be fewer than 40 nor more than 60 days after the date the subsection (1) appraisal notice and form are sent, and state that the shareholder shall have waived the right to demand appraisal with respect to the shares unless the form is received by the corporation by such specified date.

3. The corporation’s estimate of the fair value of the shares.

4. An offer to each shareholder who is entitled to appraisal rights to pay the corporation’s estimate of fair value set forth in subparagraph 3.

5. That, if requested in writing, the corporation will provide to the shareholder so requesting, within 10 days after the date specified in subparagraph 2., the number of shareholders who return the forms by the specified date and the total number of shares owned by them.

6. The date by which the notice to withdraw under s. 607.1323 must be received, which date must be within 20 days after the date specified in subparagraph 2.

(c) Be accompanied by:

1. Financial statements of the corporation that issued the shares to be appraised, consisting of a balance sheet as of the end of the fiscal year ending not more than 15 months prior to the date of the corporation’s appraisal notice, an income statement for that year, a cash flow statement for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any.

607.1323. Perfection of rights; right to withdraw

A shareholder who fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not thereafter withdraw without the corporation’s written consent.

(3) A shareholder who does not execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit that shareholder’s share certificates if required, each by the date set forth in the notice described in subsection (2), shall not be entitled to payment under this chapter.

607.1324. Shareholder’s acceptance of corporation’s offer

(1) If the shareholder states on the form provided in s. 607.1322(1) that the shareholder accepts the offer of the corporation to pay the corporation’s estimated fair value for the shares, the corporation shall make such payment to the shareholder within 90 days after the corporation’s receipt of the form from the shareholder.

(2) Upon payment of the agreed value, the shareholder shall cease to have any interest in the shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

607.1326. Procedure if shareholder is dissatisfied with offer

(1) A shareholder who is dissatisfied with the corporation’s offer as set forth pursuant to s. 607.1322(2)(b)4. must notify the corporation on the form provided pursuant to s. 607.1322(1) of that shareholder’s estimate of the fair value of the shares and demand payment of that estimate plus interest.

(2) A shareholder who fails to notify the corporation in writing of that shareholder’s demand to be paid the shareholder’s stated estimate of the fair value plus interest under subsection (1) within the timeframe set forth in s. 607.1322(2)(b)2. waives the right to demand payment under this section and shall be entitled only to the payment offered by the corporation pursuant to s. 607.1322(2)(b)4.

607.1330. Court action

(1) If a shareholder makes demand for payment under s. 607.1326 which remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, any shareholder who has made a demand pursuant to s. 607.1326 may commence the proceeding in the name of the corporation.

(2) The proceeding shall be commenced in the appropriate court of the county in which the corporation’s principal office, or, if none, its registered office, in this state is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, the proceeding shall be commenced in the county in this state in which the principal office or registered office of the domestic corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located at the time of the transaction.

(3) All shareholders, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled shall be made parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares. The corporation shall serve a copy of the initial pleading in such proceeding upon each shareholder party who is a resident of this state in the manner provided by law for the service of a summons and complaint and upon each nonresident shareholder party by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) is plenary and exclusive. If it so elects, the court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order appointing them or in any amendment to the order. The shareholders demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. There shall be no right to a jury trial.

(5) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for the amount of the fair value of such shareholder’s shares, plus interest, as found by the court.

(6) The corporation shall pay each such shareholder the amount found to be due within 10 days after final determination of the proceedings. Upon payment of the judgment, the shareholder shall cease to have any interest in the shares.

607.1331. Court costs and counsel fees

(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

B-7


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with ss. 607.1320 and 607.1322; or

(b) Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

(3) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were benefited.

(4) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to s. 607.1324, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.

607.1332. Disposition of acquired shares

Shares acquired by a corporation pursuant to payment of the agreed value thereof or pursuant to payment of the judgment entered therefor, as provided in this chapter, may be held and disposed of by such corporation as authorized but unissued shares of the corporation, except that, in the case of a merger or share exchange, they may be held and disposed of as the plan of merger or share exchange otherwise provides. The shares of the surviving corporation into which the shares of such shareholders demanding appraisal rights would have been converted had they assented to the merger shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of the surviving corporation.

607.1333. Limitation on corporate payment

(1) No payment shall be made to a shareholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, the corporation is unable to meet the distribution standards of s. 607.06401. In such event, the shareholder shall, at the shareholder’s option:

(a) Withdraw his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights, which shall in such event be deemed withdrawn with the consent of the corporation; or

(b) Retain his or her status as a claimant against the corporation and, if it is liquidated, be subordinated to the rights of creditors of the corporation, but have rights superior to the shareholders not asserting appraisal rights, and if it is not liquidated, retain his or her right to be paid for the shares, which right the corporation shall be obliged to satisfy when the restrictions of this section do not apply.

(2) The shareholder shall exercise the option under paragraph (1)(a) or paragraph (b) by written notice filed with the corporation within 30 days after the corporation has given written notice that the payment for shares cannot be made because of the restrictions of this section. If the shareholder fails to exercise the option, the shareholder shall be deemed to have withdrawn his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) authorizes a company to indemnify its directors and officers in certain instances against certain liabilities that they may incur by virtue of their relationship with the company. A company may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses incurred in any pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative proceeding (except an action by the company) against him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the company, or another company if serving in such capacity at the company’s request if he (i) acted in good faith; (ii) acted in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company; and (iii) with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Furthermore, a company may indemnify any director, officer, agent or employee against expenses incurred in defense or settlement of any proceeding brought by the company against him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or another company if serving in such capacity at the company’s request, if he: (i) acted in good faith; (ii) acted in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the company; and (iii) is not adjudged to be liable to the company (unless the court finds that he is nevertheless reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court deems proper). A company must repay the expenses of any director, officer, employee or agent who is successful on the merits of an action against him in his capacity as such.

A Florida company is authorized to make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, except for acts or omissions which constitute (i) a violation of the criminal law (unless the individual had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful); (ii) a transaction in which the individual derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which certain liability provisions of the FBCA are applicable (related to payment of dividends or other distributions or repurchases of shares in violation of such Act); or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a proceeding by the company, or a company shareholder. A Florida company also is authorized to purchase and maintain liability insurance for those who are or were directors, officers, employees and agents.

Under JBI’s Post Merger Bylaws, JBI shall indemnify any director or any officer elected by its board of directors (and may indemnify any other officer or any employee or agent of JBI upon certain authorization procedures) who was or is a party to any proceeding (except an action by the company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of JBI, or is or was serving at JBI’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if such person (i) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the company’s best interests, and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of JBI, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Under JBI’s Post Merger Bylaws, JBI shall indemnify any director or any officer elected by its board of directors (and may indemnify any other officer or any employee or agent of JBI upon certain authorization procedures) who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of JBI to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of JBI, or is or was serving at the request of JBI as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of investigating, litigating or otherwise bringing the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of JBI, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that such court shall deem proper. JBI shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability. Expenses incurred by a director of the company or any officer elected by the board of directors in defending a civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by the company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if such person is not ultimately entitled to be authorized and indemnified by the company. Such expenses incurred by other officers, employees or agents of the company may, at the discretion of the board of directors, be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions, including receipt of the undertaking to repay as described above, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the Post Merger Bylaws of JBI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and the company may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action by such a director, officer, employee or agent in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position; provided, however , that indemnification shall not be made to or on behalf of, and any advancement of expenses shall be repaid by, any director, officer, employee or agent for expenses, penalties or other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate regulatory agency, if the proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the company; and provided further that indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that such person’s actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute (a) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (b) a transaction from which the director, officer, employee or agent derived an improper personal benefit; (c) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the unlawful distribution liability provisions of FBCA Section 607.0834 (or any successor provision) are applicable; or (d) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the company in a proceeding by or in the right of the company to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

Federal banking law, which is applicable to JBI as a financial holding company and to Jacksonville Bank as an insured depository institution, limits the ability of JBI and Jacksonville Bank to indemnify their directors and officers. Neither JBI nor Jacksonville Bank may make, or agree to make, indemnification payments to an institution-affiliated party such as an officer or director in connection with any administrative or civil action instituted by a federal banking agency if as a result of the banking agency action the indemnitee is assessed a civil money penalty, is removed from office or prohibited from participating in the conduct of JBI’s or Jacksonville Bank’s affairs, or is subject to a cease and desist order. Prior to the resolution of any action instituted by the applicable banking agency, JBI or Jacksonville Bank, as applicable, may indemnify officers and directors only if their respective board of directors, as the case may be, (i) determines that the indemnified person acted in good faith, (ii) determines after investigation that making indemnification payments would not affect JBI’s safety and soundness or the safety and soundness of Jacksonville Bank, as the case may be, and (iii) if the indemnified party agrees in writing to reimburse JBI or Jacksonville Bank, as the case may be, for any indemnity payments which turn out to be impermissible.

II-2


 
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to JBI’s directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, JBI has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through the use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(2) That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to Paragraph (2) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration

statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
