NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Throughout this document, references to “the Company” mean Sun American Bancorp or to Sun American Bancorp and its subsidiary Sun American Bank. References to “the Bank” mean Sun American Bank only.

Note 1 - Critical Accounting Policies

Sun American Bancorp (the “Company”) has identified four policies as being critical because they require management to make judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The Company’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses is a critical policy that is discussed in detail in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (see Asset Quality and Nonperforming Assets). During the second quarter of 2009, the Company had a federal regulatory examination that required a change to our methodology in determining our accounting estimate for allowance for loan losses. The primary change to the methodology was to shorten the measurement period used in determination of the historic loss component of the loan pool calculation from three years to eighteen months. This change in accounting estimate was applied prospectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually. The test requires the Company to determine the fair value of its reporting unit and compare the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using management valuation models. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. These fair value estimates require a significant amount of judgment. At November 30, 2008 (the goodwill impairment testing date) goodwill and intangible assets were determined to be fully impaired. Accordingly the Company wrote off all of its goodwill and intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Mergers and Acquisitions: The Company accounts for its business combinations based on the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting requires the Company to determine the fair value of the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The fair values are based on available information and current economic conditions at the date of acquisition. The fair values may be obtained from independent appraisers, discounted cash flow present value techniques, management valuation models, quoted prices on national markets or quoted market prices from brokers. These fair value estimates will affect future earnings through the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities. While management believes the sources utilized to arrive at the fair value estimates are reliable, different sources or methods could have yielded different fair value estimates. Such different fair value estimates could affect future earnings through different values being utilized for the disposition or amortization of the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.

Investment Securities: The Company records its securities available for sale in its balance sheet at fair value. The Company uses market price quotes for valuation. The fair value of these securities in the Company’s balance sheet was based on the closing price quotations at period end. The closing quotation represents inter-dealer quotations without retail markups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily represent actual transactions. As a consequence, the Company may not be able to realize the quoted market price upon sale. The Company adjusts its securities available for sale to fair value monthly with a corresponding increase or decrease to other comprehensive income. Investments in debt securities for which management has the intent and the Company has the ability to hold to maturity, are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Amortization and accretion are calculated using the constant yield method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of individual securities classified as either held to maturity or available for sale below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value through the statement of operations. Unrealized losses on debt securities are considered temporary when management does not intend to sell, has assessed the likelihood that it will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis as not more likely than not, and does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis based on a comparison of the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, with the amortized cost basis. In the third quarter of 2009, the Company sold a number of investment securities, including securities designated as held to maturity. Accordingly, the Company has re-designated its entire investment securities portfolio as available for sale.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

Note 1 - Critical Accounting Policies – Continued

Income Taxes: The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax amounts to the amount expected to be realized. In the fourth quarter of 2008 the Company analyzed its deferred tax assets and determined that the realizability of these assets no longer met the more likely than not criteria for continued recognition. Accordingly the Company recorded a valuation allowance in an amount equal to its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 and has subsequently maintained a full valuation in allowance against its net deferred tax-assets at December 31, 2008 and has subsequently maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary, Sun American Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is a bank holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) that owns 99.9% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, while the Bank is a Florida State Chartered Commercial Bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System whose deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank provides a full range of commercial banking and consumer banking services to businesses and individuals. The Bank is regulated by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve Board.

Stock Compensation

The Company has granted stock options for the purchase of shares of common stock of the Company to directors, former directors and employees of the Company under the Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan, and the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) and various compensation agreements and actions of the Board of Directors. All options for the purchase of common stock of the Company expire 10 years from the date of grant. All options, with the exception of 126,000 options issued to key consultants at below fair market value, have an exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the options were granted. Options vest over five-years.

At September 30, 2009, the Amended and Restated Directors Stock Option Plan permits the grant of stock options to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock, of which 129,640 shares remained available for issuance. The Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Option Plan permits the grant of stock options to purchase up to 400,000 shares of common stock, of which 6,424 shares remained available for issuance. The Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan permits the grant of stock options and restricted shares for up to 2 million shares with 1.5 million shares allocated to incentive stock options. At September 30, 2009, 330,340 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan.

The following table presents information on stock options outstanding for the periods shown.

Note 1 - Critical Accounting Policies – Continued

The aggregate intrinsic value for stock options outstanding and options exercisable at September 30, 2009, was zero. The weighted average remaining contractual term of stock options outstanding and options exercisable at September 30, 2009, was 7.4 years and 6.8 years, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model uses the assumptions listed in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.


Black-Scholes assumptions	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009	Year Ended December 31, 2008

Risk-free interest rate	3.31%	2.96%
Expected option life	6.5 years	6.5 years
Expected stock price volatility	20%	20%
Dividend yield	0%	0%

Weighted Average fair value of options granted during the year	—	$1.21

Stock option compensation expense was $793,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $840,000 for the same period in 2008. The deferred tax benefit on the portion of expense related to nonqualified stock options was zero and $840,000, for the nine months ended in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, there was $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the various plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Disclosure

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the financial statements not to be misleading have been included. Such adjustment are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In preparing the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

financial statements, management evaluated subsequent events through November 16, 2009 the date that these financial statements were issued.

In the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $12.6 million resulting, in part, from a change to the methodology applied in estimating the allowance for loan losses. The methodology was changed to reduce the length of the historical period used to determine historic loss rates from the most recent three year period to the most recent eighteen month period. This change in accounting estimate was applied prospectively. As of September 30, 2009, the Company is considered to be significantly under capitalized. Management is actively seeking additional capital for the Company. The deteriorating economy continues to negatively impact the credit quality of the Company’s loans and may impact the Company’s ability to raise capital. In the event the Company fails to secure additional capital sources and loan quality continues to decline, the Company’s capital needs will be compounded. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to collect its loans and secure capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Hierarchy of GAAP

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^™ (the “Codification” or “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification became effective on July 1, 2009. The Codification did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB established standards for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and discloses information to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, to be applied prospectively. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the FASB amended accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The amendment clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be clearly reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, it requires that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the controlling interests be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of income. This provision became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with earlier application prohibited. Prospective application is required, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB required expanded disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, but did not change the scope or accounting. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. To meet those objectives, this standard requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures in a tabular

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

format about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, including specific disclosures regarding the location and amounts of derivative instruments in the financial statements, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This standard also clarifies that derivative instruments are subject to concentration of credit-risk disclosures. The provisions of this standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application permitted. The adoption did not impact the Company’s financial statements.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. This guidance reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, this guidance reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain whether a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.

Fair Value Measurements and Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to this guidance, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. These disclosures are required on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to other-than-temporary impairments that is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. This guidance also requires increased and more timely disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses and an aging of securities with unrealized losses.

This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods ended after June 15, 2009, and did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued updated general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance became effective for interim and annual periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company has complied with the requirements.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amended standard to improve the reporting for the transfer of financial assets resulting from (1) practices that have developed that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. This amended standard must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company will review the requirements and comply with its requirements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment regarding certain requirements to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This amendment is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company will review the requirements and comply with its requirements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Amendment will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows at September 30, 2009 and at year-end:

Accrued interest payable		2,867,228		2,867,228		1,552,478		1,552,478

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, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not significant.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which 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 value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets

that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates); or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

SUN AMERICAN BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities would include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are summarized below:


	Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2009 using
	September 30, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Available for sale securities (recurring)	$	83,525,813	$	—	$	83,525,813	$	—

Impaired loans (non-recurring)	$	156,200,218	$	—	$	104,749,742	$	51,450,476

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:

Available for sale securities: The fair value of securities available for sale equals quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is typically determined using quoted market prices for similar securities which are considered to be a level 2 input.

Impaired loans are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of impairment. 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. Fair value adjustments to loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are based on the loan’s current appraised value of the collateral in accordance with ASC 310 Receivables which is considered to be a level 2 input. For impaired loans where management has adjusted the results of the appraisals, based upon management’s assessment that the appraisal results are not representative of the actual value of the underlying property, the valuation is considered to be a level 3 input.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $156.2 million, with a valuation allowance of $8.2 million.

During 2008, the Company analyzed this corporate bond holding and determined that an other than temporary decline in value had occurred. Accordingly, a write down of the carrying value of the security of $180,000 was recorded. The remaining $82,114 of unrealized loss was assessed to be temporary in nature and accordingly no write down of this amount was undertaken.

Nonperforming loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, whereas other loans may only be included in one category. Nonperforming loans generally represent loans on which the payment of principal and / or interest has been discontinued. Impaired loans represent loans for which the supporting collateral values have declined to levels deemed insufficient to provide a reliable source of repayment.

The terms of the Note provide that the failure of the Company to meet any or all financial covenants and/or conditions as listed in the Modified Loan Agreement or as otherwise set forth by Silverton constitutes an event of default under the Note. The Notice of Default provided that due to the Company’s non-compliance with the NPA Covenant, the Company would not be permitted to make additional borrowings under the credit facility at this time. The principal amount outstanding under the Note, excluding interest, is currently $7,528,871.

Section 16 of the Note provides if a default occurs under the Note or any of the loan documents, the FDIC may at any time thereafter, take the following actions:

Accelerate the maturity of the note and, at the FDIC’s option, any or all other obligations between the Company and Silverton; at which time the note and the accelerated obligations would be immediately due and payable; and

Exercise any rights and remedies as provided under the loan documents, or as provided by law or equity.

If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the NPA Covenant, the FDIC, as the receiver for Silverton, may declare our financial obligations under the loan documents including principal plus interest at the default rate, late charges, attorney’s fees and collections costs, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The Company has requested a waiver in connection with the NPA Covenant, however, if the Company is unable to obtain a waiver and if the FDIC were to accelerate the Company’s obligations under the Note following any applicable cure periods, the Company’s financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s primary market and service area is Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Martin counties where the Company currently operates twelve full service banking offices. The Company has grown significantly in recent years due to the acquisition of certain assets, and assumption of certain liabilities, of PanAmerican Bank in December 2001, Gulf Bank in February 2004, Beach Bank in December 2006, and the merger with Independent Community Bank completed in March 2007. Coupled with these transactions, the Company had pursued a growth strategy, increasing its level of earning assets, primarily through increases in the loan portfolio by concentrating on the origination of commercial and consumer loan products and by competitively pricing deposit products.

In 2008 and for the first nine months of 2009, growth was intentionally slowed in response to the deteriorating economic environment in the Bank’s marketplace. In the near term the Bank has no plans for expansion. Preservation of capital and pursuit of new capital are priorities. The Bank will place a priority on obtaining new core client deposits.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had total assets of $555.1 million, net loans of $416.2 million, deposits of $456.0 million and shareholders’ equity of $6.6 million.

The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent upon the results of operations of the Bank. The Bank conducts a commercial banking business which generally consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying a majority of these funds (typically 75% to 90%) to the origination of commercial loans to small businesses, consumer loans, and secured real estate loans in its local trade area of South Florida. The balance of the bank’s portfolio (approximately 10% to 25%) is generally held in cash and invested in government backed investment grade securities.

The Company is predominantly a commercial lender in the South Florida market place and is therefore exposed to the current weakened real estate conditions in our South Florida geographic region. During 2008 and through 2009, the banking industry in general, and Florida banks in particular, experienced significant declines in the value of real estate collateral held to support funds provided to its borrowers. The Company’s financial results for 2009 and 2008 reflect the impact of higher provisions for loan losses and margin compression. The Company reported non-performing assets of $73.9 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $29.8 million at December 31, 2008. The Company is working aggressively to resolve issues related to borrowers who are experiencing, or who may in the future experience, loan performance issues. Initiatives include workouts, loan sales and, when required, foreclosures. The Company’s policy is to monitor borrower activity closely and to identify potential issues before they grow. The Company works with its borrowers to provide solutions that are in the best interests of both the borrower and the Company. However, the Company recognizes that during this period of real estate challenges, these types of problems are not resolved quickly, and it is likely that they will continue through all of 2009 and beyond.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009 was $17.9 compared to $6.6 million at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses represented 4.12% of total loans at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.39% at December 31, 2008. The reason for the significant increase in allowance for loan losses in the first nine months of 2009 was due to a federal regulatory examination in the second quarter of 2009 where the regulators required the Bank to change its methodology used in determining our accounting estimate for allowance for loan losses. The primary change to the methodology was to shorten the measurement period used in determination of the historic loss component of the loan pool calculation from three years to eighteen months.

Management continues to monitor the adequacy of our loan loss provisions in conjunction with the current economic condition in South Florida. Real estate values in Florida have, in general, declined throughout 2008 and into the first nine months of 2009. It is recognized that this negatively impacts collateral values that support outstanding loans in the Bank’s portfolio. It is recognized that a risk exists that real estate value in our markets may continue to decline and thus additional reserves may be required as 2009 progresses.

Due to higher loan loss provisions required in the third quarter of 2009, the Bank’s risk based capital ratios declined. The total risk based capital ratio was 4.67% at September 30, 2009 which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 3.39% which was “under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 Leverage risk based capital ratio was 2.54% which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank is subject to certain statutory restrictions based on its significantly undercapitalized capital category including payment of dividends, growth of the Bank’s total assets, the Bank’s expansion through acquisitions, branching or new lines of business, and restrictions from paying bonuses to, or increasing salaries of, its senior executive officers.

LIQUIDITY

Regulatory agencies require that the Bank maintain sufficient liquidity to operate in a sound and safe manner. The principal sources of liquidity and funding are generated by the operations of the Bank through its diverse deposit base, loan participations and other asset/liability measures. For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet loan commitments, withdrawals of deposit funds, and operating expenses. The level and maturity of deposits

necessary to support the lending and investment activities is determined through monitoring loan demand and through the Bank’s management process. Considerations in managing the liquidity position include scheduled cash flows from existing assets, contingencies and liabilities, as well as projected liquidity conducive to efficient operations and are continuously evaluated as part of the asset/liability management process. Historically, the Bank has increased its level of deposits to allow for its planned asset growth. The level of deposits is influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, among other things. South Florida continues to develop and faces intense competition from other financial service providers. Management has found that adjusting pricing, or introducing new products, produces increased deposit growth. Adjusting the rate paid on money market and NOW accounts can quickly adjust the level of deposits.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”). At September 30, 2009, the Bank had $48,000,000 of FHLB fixed rate advances to assist in funding its loan portfolio growth. The Bank has pledged a security interest in its eligible real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB as collateral for borrowings obtained from the FHLB. See note 7 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding these advances. Liquidity at September 30, 2009, consisted of $28.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $29.6 million in available-for-sale, unpledged investments, for a total of $57.6 million, compared to a total of $46.9 million at year-end 2008.

On June 15, 2009, the Company received a Notice of Default from the FDIC, which serves as a receiver for Silverton, that the Company was out of compliance with a financial covenant contained in the Modified Loan Agreement with Silverton. The NPA covenant provided that the non-performing assets of the Bank will not exceed 10% of its total loans plus OREO. On or about May 21, 2009, the Company became aware that it was out of compliance with the NPA Covenant, and on that date the Company reported to the FDIC that its non-performing assets constituted 11.26% of its total loans plus OREO as of April 30, 2009. The terms of the Note provide that the failure of the Company to meet any or all financial covenants and/or conditions as listed in the Modified Loan Agreement or as otherwise set forth by Silverton constitutes an event of default under the Note. The Notice of Default provided that due to the Company’s non-compliance with the NPA Covenant, the Company would not be permitted to make additional borrowings under the credit facility at this time. The principal amount outstanding under the Note, excluding interest, is currently $7,528,871.

Section 16 of the Note provides if a default occurs under the Note or any of the Loan Documents, the FDIC may at any time thereafter, take the following actions:

Exercise any rights and remedies as provided under the loan documents, or as provided by law or equity.

If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the NPA Covenant, the FDIC, as the receiver for Silverton, may declare our financial obligations under the loan documents including principal plus interest at the Default Rate, late charges, attorney’s fees and collections costs, if any, to be immediately due and payable. The Company has requested a waiver in connection with the NPA Covenant, however, if the Company is unable to obtain a waiver and if the FDIC were to accelerate the Company’s obligations under the Note following any applicable cure periods, the Company’s financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES FROM JANUARY 1, 2009 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased by $34.9 million, or 5.9%, to $555.1 million at September 30, 2009 from $590.0 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net loans, offset by an increase in cash on deposit.

Net loans receivable decreased by $49.8 million, or 10.7%, to $416.2 million at September 30, 2009, from $466.0 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was due to loan paydowns, sales and transfers to OREO during 2009.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company sold $21.9 million of investment securities, including securities designated as held to maturity. As a result, the Company has adopted a new accounting policy to classify all investment securities as available for sale securities. Accordingly, the Company held $83.5 million of available for sale securities at September 30, 2009 compared to $30.3 million at December 31, 2008. Similarly, the Company held no securities designated as held to maturity at September 30, 2009 compared to $52.8 million at December 31, 2008.

Cash on deposit at September 30, 2009 was $28.0 million compared to $16.6 million at December 31, 2008. Cash on deposit represents available liquidity waiting to be deployed into higher yielding assets or to pay down maturing liabilities.

ASSET QUALITY AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS

In the normal course of business, the Bank has recognized, and will continue to recognize, losses resulting from the inability of certain borrowers to repay loans and the insufficient realizable value of collateral securing such loans. Accordingly, management has established an allowance for loan losses, which totaled $17.9 million at September 30, 2009 after taking charge-offs of $18.0 million in the first nine months of 2009, and when analyzed by management was deemed to be adequate to absorb estimated credit losses.

Results for the third quarter of 2009 included a provision for loan losses of $12.6 million which

resulted from a recent federal regulatory examination that required a change to our methodology in determining our accounting estimate for allowance for loan losses. The primary change to the methodology was to shorten the measurement period used in determination of the historic loss component of the loan pool calculation from three years to eighteen months.

Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates of material factors including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.

The Bank has a detailed system of procedures to ensure complete analysis of all factors pertinent to the evaluation of the adequacy of its loan loss allowance. The evaluation process includes analyzing general conditions in the local economy and historical loan losses as well as components within the portfolio itself to include: portfolio composition, concentrations, off-balance sheet risks, delinquencies and non-accrual loans, impaired assets, nonperforming assets and gross and net loan balances. In computing the adequacy of the loan loss allowance, management employs the following methodology:

Non-Specific Allowance: The methodology used in establishing non-specific allowances is based on a broad risk analysis of the portfolio. All significant portfolio segments, including concentrations, are analyzed. The amount of the non-specific allowance is based upon a statistical analysis that derives appropriate formulas, which are adjusted by management’s subjective assessment of current and future conditions. The determination includes an analysis of loss and recovery experience in the various portfolio segments over the last three fiscal years. Results of the historical loss analysis are adjusted to reflect current and anticipated conditions.

Specific Allowance: All significant commercial and industrial loans classified as either “substandard” or “doubtful” are reviewed at the end of each period to determine if a specific reserve is needed for that credit. The determination of a specific reserve for an impaired asset is evaluated in accordance with ASC 310 Receivables, and a specific reserve is very common for significant credits classified as either “substandard” or “doubtful.” The establishment of a specific reserve does not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve will definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It is only an estimate of potential loss based upon anticipated events.

At December 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $6.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded $29.2 million of provisions for loan losses. Net charge-offs amounted to $18.0 million. After net charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009 was $17.9 million. The charge-offs were primarily related to loans financing the development and construction of residential property and home equity lines of credit. While these loans were well collateralized when they were made, the market value of the underlying collateral had declined significantly.

The Bank’s impaired assets were $156.2 million at September 30, 2009, or 36.0% of total gross loans, compared to $89.9 million at December 31, 2008, or 19% of total gross loans. Assets which are impaired are those deemed by management as inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets which are impaired have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Nonperforming assets consist of loans that are past due 90 days or more which are still accruing interest, loans on nonaccrual status, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). The following table sets forth information with respect to nonperforming assets identified by the Bank at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The Company’s nonperforming assets are as follows:


	September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
	(Dollars in thousands)

Delinquencies over 90 days and accruing
Residential real estate	$	1,261	$	––
Commercial real estate		9,771		––
Non-accrual loans:
Commercial		658		1,055
Commercial real estate		46,858		23,879
Residential real estate		5,242		565
Consumer		47		429
OREO		9,915		3,511
Repossessions		179		353
Total nonperforming assets	$	73,931	$	29,792

Total nonperforming assets have increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from December 31, 2008 by $44.1 million. The total of $73.9 million at September 30, 2009, consists of 79 loans in various stages of resolution, for which management believes such loans are adequately collateralized or otherwise appropriately considered in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. It also includes fifteen OREO properties and two repossessions which management believes are properly stated at net realizable value. The total of $29.8 million at December 31, 2008 consisted primarily of commercial real estate and vacant land loans that are secured by real estate.

LIABILITIES

Liabilities increased $300,000 to $548.5 million at September 30, 2009 from $548.2 million at December 31, 2008 primarily due to an increase in client deposits and offset by a decrease in FHLB borrowings.

DEPOSITS

Deposit accounts include interest and non-interest checking, money market, savings, and certificates of deposit. Deposits increased to $456.0 million at September 30, 2009 from $443.5 million at December 31, 2008. The increase of 2.8% during the first nine months of 2009 is due to a focused business development effort increase core client deposits.

The Bank continues to service the small and medium size businesses, condominium associations, and individuals within its trade area in the South Florida markets. These markets include Miami-Dade County, Broward County, Palm Beach County, and Martin County. Given the diverse population of these markets and geographic expanse, the Bank employs different strategies in meeting the deposit and credit needs of its communities. In addition, management continues to implement a strategy to change the mix of the deposit portfolio by focusing more heavily on core deposits, particularly checking accounts, an important component of the deposit mix which the Bank has historically maintained satisfactory levels of this type of deposit because of its policy of relationship banking. The Bank is developing new deposit products to retain existing customers and attract new deposit clients.

The following is a summary of the distribution of deposits:

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at September 30, 2009 were $33.9 million compared to $35.9 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $2.0 million or 6%. These repurchase agreements are secured by securities held by the Bank. The decrease was primarily due to modest declines in customer repurchase transactions.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

FHLB borrowings totaled $48.0 million at September 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008. See Financial Statement Footnote No. 7.

NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable at September 30, 2009 were $7.7 million compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $150,000 or 2%.

CAPITAL

The Company’s total shareholders’ equity was $6.6 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $35.2 million, or 84%, from $41.8 million at December 31, 2008. This decrease was substantially due to loan loss provisions in the nine months of 2009 totaling $29.2 million which contributed to a net loss in the first nine months of 2009 of $36.0 million.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the regulatory banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The regulations require the Company and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that includes quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgment by the regulators about interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and other factors.

In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted risk assets as well as maintain minimum leverage ratios (set forth in the table below). Member banks operating at or near the minimum ratio levels are expected to have well diversified risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on- and off-balance sheet activities, and in general be considered strong organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMEL rating system for banks. For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above conditions, the minimum leverage ratio may require an additional 100 to 200 basis points.

The Company and the Bank’s capital ratios at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are listed below:


Capital Ratios	September 30, 2009	December 31, 2008	Adequate	Well Capitalized

Sun American Bancorp
Total risk-weighted capital	2.92%	9.54%	>8%	>10%
Tier 1 risk-weighted capital	1.64%	8.29%	>4%	>6%
Tier 1 leverage capital	1.23%	6.97%	>4%	>5%

Sun American Bank
Total risk-weighted capital	4.67%	10.98%	>8%	>10%
Tier 1 risk-weighted capital	3.39%	9.73%	>4%	>6%
Tier 1 leverage capital	2.54%	8.18%	>4%	>5%

Due to higher loan loss provisions required in the first nine months of 2009, the Bank’s risk based capital ratios declined. The total risk based capital ratio was 4.67% at September 30, 2009 which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 3.39% which was “under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 Leverage risk based capital ratio was 2.54% which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

The Company reported a net loss of $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The reduced results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are attributed mostly to higher provision for loan losses and margin compression. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $3.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.37 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8.9 million compared to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 39%. Average interest earning assets declined by $25.9 million and yields declined by 140 basis points in 2009 from the comparable nine month period in 2008.

For the periods indicated, the following table contains information regarding the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resulting average yields, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting average costs, net interest income, and the net yield on interest-earning assets.

Income from available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and Federal Reserve Bank stock increased modestly by $120,000, or 4%, to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due primarily to an increase of $20.3 million, or 27%, in average volume of investments.

Income from cash on deposit decreased by $66,000, or 60%, to $44,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $110,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due primarily to a 230 basis point decrease in overnight rates compared to the same period in 2008 and offset by an increase of $18.7 million, or 324, in average cash on deposit.

Interest and fees on loans decreased by $6.8 million, or 28%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in loan income was due to lower

interest yields of about 112 basis points and lower average balances of $65 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and due to reversal of interest income on non-accrual loans of $711,000 in 2009 compared to only $320,000 in 2008.

The yield on all interest-earning assets was 5.39% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a 140 basis point decrease from 6.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Total interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 8% to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a lower cost of funds of approximately 57 basis points on a year over year basis, partially offset by more interest expense generated by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $47.3 million, or 10%, to $514.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $467.3 million for the same period in 2008.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $406,000, or 29%, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in non-interest income in 2009 was due to sale of securities in the third quarter of 2009 which generated net gains of $738,000 in 2009.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense decreased by $1.9 million, or 12%, to $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The largest component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits which amounted to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease is partly due to lower staff levels in 2009. In addition, other cost reduction initiatives undertaken during the past twelve months helped to reduce salary and benefits expense. As of September 30, 2009, the number of full time equivalent employees was 107 compared to 112 as of September 30, 2008.

The second largest component of non-interest expense was occupancy and equipment expense. Occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease is due to reduced rent for two branch locations that were closed over the last year.

Other expenses increased by $2.9 million to $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Professional fees increased by $370,000 in 2009 compared to 2008 due to legal costs on loan workouts. FDIC insurance costs increased $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher FDIC assessments. Loan administration costs increased by $879,000 in 2009 compared to 2008 due to losses on sales and other costs related to OREO properties taken over by the Bank.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Although management uses its best judgment in underwriting each loan, industry experience indicates that a portion of the Bank’s loans will become delinquent. Regardless of the underwriting criteria utilized, the Bank may experience losses as a result of many factors beyond its control, including, among other things, changes in market conditions affecting the value of security and unrelated problems affecting the credit of the borrower. Due to the concentration of loans in South Florida, adverse economic conditions in this area could result in a decrease in the value of a significant portion of the collateral that supports the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Provision for loan loss was $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in provision for loan losses is in response to rising non-performing assets associated with collateral dependent commercial real estate loans.

For a more detailed description of the calculation of the allowance for loan loss, see the section above entitled “Asset Quality and Nonperforming Assets.”

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

No income tax expense or recovery was booked in the first nine months of 2009 as no taxes were payable and the Company maintained a valuation allowance in an amount equal to its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009. An income tax benefit of $2.0 million was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

The Company reported a net loss of $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $1.29 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The change in the results of operations from the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due to higher provision for loan losses, reduced net interest income and higher non-interest expenses due to higher FDIC insurance and loan administration costs.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $3.2 million compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 33%. Income from loans (including fees), available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, federal funds sold, Federal Reserve Bank stock, and Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased by $2.3 million, or 26%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, mostly due to a decline in overall loan yields, reduced loan balances and reversal of interest income on new non-accrual loans.

Total interest expense decreased $712,000, or 17%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a lower cost of funds on a year over year basis and partially offset by more interest expense generated by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $670,000, or 165%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $405,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was due to $742,000 of gains on sales of securities in the third quarter of 2009 that was not realized in the third quarter of 2008.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased by $1.3 million, or 26%, to $6.3 million from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Salaries and employee benefits were $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, for a decrease of $305,000 or 13%. The decrease was due to a reduced number of staff in 2009 due to the closure of two branches during the year. As of September 30, 2009, the number of full time equivalent employees was 107 compared to 112 as of September 30, 2008.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Other expenses increased by $1.6 million to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Loan administration costs increased by $142,000 year over year due to costs associated with the sale and maintenance of OREO properties in 2009. In addition, FDIC insurance costs increased by $561,000 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 due to higher FDIC assessments.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Provision for loan loss was $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in provision for loan losses is in response to rising levels of non-performing assets associated with collateral dependent commercial real estate loans where collateral values had declined.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

No income tax expense or recovery was booked in the third quarter of 2009 as no taxes were payable and the Company maintained a valuation allowance in an amount equal to its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009. An income tax benefit of $647,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The disclosure is not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4T.

Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized, and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure, and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Control”) during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected or which are reasonably likely to materially affect Internal Control.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

There have been no material developments during the period covered by this report.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The Company and the Bank are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny and oversight.

Due to the Company’s current condition and results of operations, we are operating under heightened regulatory scrutiny and have been and will be taking steps which are expected to improve our asset quality and capital. Due to higher loan loss provisions required in the third quarter of 2009, the Bank’s risk based capital ratios declined. The total risk based capital ratio was 4.67% at September 30, 2009 which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 3.39% which was “under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. The Bank's Tier 1 Leverage risk based capital ratio was 2.54% which was “significantly under capitalized” according to the Federal regulatory definition. Failure to adequately address regulatory concerns of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may result in actions by the banking regulators against the Company and the Bank such as the imposition of a cease and desist order among other actions. Such actions could preclude us from being considered well-capitalized and/or impose other restrictions or prohibitions of certain activities by the Company and the Bank. As we are considered to be a significantly undercapitalized institution, the Company and the Bank will likely be subject to corrective action by these regulatory agencies and if we are not able to remediate the Bank’s capitalization status and conditions continue to decline, the banking regulators could eventually appoint a receiver or conservator of the Bank’s net assets.

The Company’s common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq which may have a material adverse effect on the pricing and trading of our common stock.

On September 21, 2009, the Company received two deficiency letters (each, a “Notice” and together, the “Notices”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it does not currently meet two continuing listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market because in the previous 30 consecutive trading days (i) the Company’s common stock has not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of $5,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on Nasdaq by Marketplace Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C), and (ii) the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below the $1.00 minimum bid price as required for continued listing on Nasdaq by Marketplace Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice relating to the MVPHS deficiency states that the Company will be afforded 90 calendar days, or until December 15, 2009, to regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement. In order to regain compliance, the MVPHS of the Company’s common stock must be $5,000,000 or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. Additionally, the Notice relating to the bid price deficiency states that the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be $1.00 or greater for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The Notices also provide that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with marketplace Rules 5450(b)(1)(C) and 5450(a)(1) by the expiration of the respective 90-day and 180-day grace periods, we will receive written notification that our common stock is subject to delisting.

If Nasdaq delists the Company’s securities from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

a reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

If the Company receives a delisting determination from Nasdaq, we may be given the opportunity to appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to a panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq rules. The Company can provide no assurances to its stockholders that, if a delisting determination is made, we would take action to appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination.
