1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Thomasville Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues 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 real estate, contingent assets and liabilities and deferred tax assets.

 

2. TRUST AND MONEY MANAGEMENT

Property and funds held by the Company and its subsidiary in a fiduciary or other capacity for the benefit of its customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Income earned from fees charged against trust assets, including money management services, is recognized in the Company’s consolidated income statements.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of stock options and restricted stock.

Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
   2008    2007

Net income

   $ 1,112,963    $ 1,068,725
             

Weighted average common shares outstanding

     2,963,550      2,957,756

Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock

     110,425      100,878
             

Weighted average dilutive common shares outstanding

     3,073,975      3,058,634
             

 

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company has three stock option plans under which it has granted options to its employees to purchase common stock at the fair market price on the date of grant. The plans provide for “incentive stock options” and “non-qualified stock options”. The incentive stock options are intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code for favorable tax treatment. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares for stock option exercises.

Under the plans, the Board of Directors can grant stock options to employees of the Company to purchase up to 139,200 shares of its common stock. At March 31, 2008, there were no shares available for grant under the plans.

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)

At March 31, 2008, there was approximately $537,297 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based payments, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.

Restricted Stock

In March 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for the Company’s and Bank’s directors and officers which grants to each person restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for attending Board/Committee meetings and bonuses. Shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Plan shall not vest until the earlier to occur of: (a) the retirement of a director from the Company’s Board of Directors or (b) a change in control of the Company. On several occasions, shares of restricted stock have been awarded to executive officers of the Company and its subsidiary. These shares vest only upon the directors’ or officers’ retirement, resignation or upon a change in control. At March 31, 2008, 99,058 shares of restricted stock were outstanding.

 

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 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.

FASB No. 157 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, FASB No. 157 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).

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

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 the determination of the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’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 the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

This Analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this filing. The Company’s accounting policies, which are described in detail in the Form 10-K, are integral to understanding the results reported. The Company’s accounting policies require management’s judgment in valuing assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, or relieving a liability. This Analysis contains forward-looking statements with respect to business and financial matters. Actual results may vary significantly from those contained in these forward-looking statements. See the section entitle Forward-Looking Statements within this Analysis.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Thomasville Bancshares, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was formed in March 1995 to organize and act as the holding company for Thomasville National Bank (the “Bank”), a national banking association. The Bank opened for business in October 1995, and presently operates two branches in Thomasville, Georgia. The Bank is a full service commercial bank, with trust powers, and offers a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in its primary market area of Thomas County, Georgia and surrounding counties. The Bank also offers trust and investment services through TNB Financial Services, a division of the Bank.

The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The results of operations are also affected by the level of income/fees from loans, deposits, borrowings, trust services, as well as operating expenses, the provision for loan losses, the impact of federal and state income taxes, and the relative levels of interest rates and economic activity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated assets totaled $318,881,925 at March 31, 2008, up $5,714,706 or 1.82% from year-end 2007. Asset growth was concentrated in the loan portfolio and federal funds sold. Specifically, loans grew $3,564,876 or 1.29% and federal funds sold increased $3,573,629. Available for sale securities declined $2,038,051 or 13.37% during the first quarter 2008. Loans comprised approximately 93.25%, investment securities, 4.40%, and federal funds sold, 1.31%, of earning assets at March 31, 2008 versus 93.29%, 5.13%, and 0.12% respectively at December 31, 2007. Overall, earning assets was approximately 94.14% of total assets at March 31, 2008 compared to 94.90% at year end. Refer to the Liquidity section of this Analysis for details on deposits and other funding sources.

Available for sale Investment Securities

On a carrying value basis, investment securities decreased $2,038,051 or 13.37% since December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008, the security portfolio was comprised of primarily U.S. Government sponsored agency securities. Overall, securities comprised 4.40% of earning assets at March 31, 2008, down 73 basis points from year-end 2007 levels. Management believes the credit quality of the investment portfolio remains sound.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities are delineated in the table below:

The Company has a concentration in the obligations of U.S. Government sponsored agencies.

Loans

Loans grew 1.29% or $3,564,876 at March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007. The loan to deposit ratio aggregated 107.8% at March 31, 2008 versus 104.9% at December 31, 2007, and 90.9% a year ago. Despite economic uncertainties within the Company’s markets, management is optimistic that loan volumes will continue to grow in 2008. Managerial strategies to increase loan production include continuing competitive pricing on loan products and development of additional loan relationships, all without compromising portfolio quality. During the same period in 2007, net loans increased $13,793,697. Loans outstanding are presented by type in the table below.

Although the Company’s loan portfolio is diversified, significant portions of its loans are collateralized by real estate. The Bank’s real estate loans consist of residential first and second mortgage loans, residential construction loans and commercial real estate loans. At March 31, 2008, real estate loans approximated $209,223,000 and commitments to extend credit on such loans approximated $18,599,000. These loans are made consistent with the Bank’s appraisal policy and real estate lending policy which detail maximum loan-to-value ratios and maturities. In management’s opinion, these loan-to-value ratios are sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in the real estate market to minimize the risk of loss to the Bank. On an aggregate basis, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximated $34,205,000 at March 31, 2008; because a substantial amount of these contracts expire without being drawn upon, total contractual amounts do not represent future credit exposure or liquidity requirements. The Company has not funded or incurred any losses on letters of credit during 2008.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and foreclosed real estate and other assets. Overall, nonperforming assets approximated $2,221,000 at March 31, 2008, down $218,000 or 8.94% from December 31, 2007 and up $2,092,000 from March 31, 2007. As a percent of total assets, nonperforming assets totaled 0.70% at March 31, 2008 versus 0.78% at year-end 2007 and 0.04% a year ago. No material credits have been transferred or removed from nonaccrual status during 2008.

Refer to the subsection entitled Policy Note for criteria used by management in classifying loans as nonaccrual. The allowance for loan losses approximated 1.94 times the nonperforming loans balance at March 31, 2008 versus 1.56 at year-end 2007 and 26.67 times a year ago. Management is unaware of any other material developments in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2008 that should be presented or otherwise discussed.

Restructured loans at March 31, 2008 consists of one loan in the amount of $1,950,000 that was restructured during the third quarter of 2007 and is secured by real estate. This loan was restructured to accommodate a slight reduction in the value of the collateral, and the loan is currently performing. In the opinion of management, the loan is well-collateralized and the guarantor of the principal has adequate financial means to repay the loan should the guaranty be called upon.

Policy Note. Loans classified as nonaccrual have been placed in nonperforming, or impaired, status because the borrower’s ability to make future principal and/or interest payments has become uncertain. The Company considers a loan to be nonaccrual when the collection of recorded interest or principal is not anticipated in the foreseeable future. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Nonaccrual loans that are impaired are reduced to the lower of the principal balance of the loan or the market value of the underlying real estate or other collateral net of selling costs. Any impairment in the principal balance is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Accrued interest on any loan placed on nonaccrual status is reversed. Interest income

on nonaccrual loans, if subsequently recognized, is recorded on a cash basis. No interest is subsequently recognized on nonaccrual (or former nonaccrual) loans until all principal has been collected. Foreclosed real estate represents real property acquired by foreclosure or directly by title or deed transfer in settlement of debt. Provisions for subsequent devaluations of foreclosed real estate are charged to operations, while costs associated with improving the properties are generally capitalized.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company continuously reviews its loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses available to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. The three-month provision for loan losses at March 31, 2008 totaled $75,000, and net charge-offs, $10,746. The comparable provision and net recoveries amounts at March 31, 2007 were $70,000 and $5,151. Net charge-offs represented 0.004% of average loans at March 31, 2008, while at March 31, 2007 net recoveries represented 0.002% of average loans. The Company is committed to the early recognition of problem loans and to an appropriate and adequate level of allowance. The adequacy of the allowance is further discussed in the next subsection of this Analysis. Activity in the allowance is presented in the table below:

The Company prepares a comprehensive analysis of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. The allowance calculation is also reviewed annually by an independent accounting firm. The Bank’s Board of Directors is responsible for affirming the allowance methodology and assessing the general and specific allowance factors in relation to estimated and actual net charge-off trends. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, or collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Deposits

Deposits declined $3,716,586 or 1.41% since year-end 2007. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $2,866,053 or 9.95%, while interest-bearing deposits decreased $6,582,639 or 2.80%. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was reflected in all categories, interest-bearing demand, savings and time deposits. The interest-bearing demand decrease was the most significant due to a decrease in the balances held in NOW and money market accounts. There was no decline in time deposits related to the maturity of brokered deposits. There was no change in the volatile brokered deposits since year end. These deposits declined $50,000 from the same period one year ago. Overall, interest-bearing deposits comprised 87.84%, and noninterest-bearing deposits, 12.16%, of total deposits at March 31, 2008. The distribution of interest-bearing balances at March 31, 2008 and certain comparable quarter-end dates is shown in the table below:

FHLB Advances

Advances outstanding with the FHLB totaled approximately $20,550,000 at March 31, 2008, up approximately $10,833,333 from year end. All advances accrue interest at an effective rate that ranges between 2.33% and 5.26% as of March 31, 2008. Interest is payable monthly on all outstanding advances. The year to date interest expense on the advances approximates $163,523 as of March 31, 2008. The advances are collateralized by the pledging of qualifying 1-4 family mortgages included in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the Company’s ability to meet all deposit withdrawals immediately, while also providing for the credit needs of customers. The March 31, 2008 financial statements evidence a satisfactory liquidity position as total cash and cash equivalents amounted to $8.0 million, representing 2.5% of total assets. Investment securities, which amounted to $15.4 million, or 4.8% of total assets, provide a secondary source of liquidity because they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. The Company’s management closely monitors and maintains appropriate levels of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities so that maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are provided to meet customer withdrawals and loan demand. The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

The Bank maintains an adequate level of capitalization as measured by the following capital ratios and the respective minimum capital requirements established by the Bank’s primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

Dividend Policy

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, and its revenues and liquidity position depend primarily on the payment of dividends from its subsidiary. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends the Bank may pay without prior approval of the regulatory agencies. Year-to-date, Thomasville National Bank has paid none of the $7,865,000 in cash dividends available to the Company in 2008 without such prior approval. The Company uses regular dividends paid by the Bank in order to pay quarterly dividends to its own shareholders. Management anticipates that the Company will continue to pay cash dividends on a recurring basis.

Impact of Inflation

The effects of inflation on the local economy and the Company’s operating results have been relatively modest the last several years. Because substantially all the Company’s assets and liabilities, including cash, securities, loans, and deposits, are monetary in nature, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates. As discussed in the preceding section, the Company attempts to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest sensitive assets and liabilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the 3 months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Net income for the 2008 first quarter totaled $1,112,963, up $44,238 or 4.14% from 2007. On a per share basis, quarterly basic earnings per share grew $0.02 to $0.38 at March 31, 2008 from $0.36 in 2007. Variations in operating results are further discussed within the next three subsections of this Analysis.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $2,827,761 was a $171,317 or 6.45% increase from the $2,656,444 for the comparable period in 2007. Interest earnings on loans and investment securities improved $33,506 or 0.69% and $17,227 or 13.41% from same period results in 2007 while earnings on federal funds sold decreased by $278,007. The targeted federal funds rate was changed four times by the Federal Reserve during the first quarter of 2008. The target rate was cut by a total of 225 basis points since December 31, 2007 to 2.00% from 4.25%.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision of $75,000 was recorded in the first quarter 2008 compared to $70,000 during the year earlier period. Nonperforming loans decreased $442,000 during the quarter to $1,997,000 at March 31, 2008. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased 17 basis points to 0.72% at March 31, 2008, compared with 0.89% at December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was approximately 1.40% at March 31, 2008 compared with 1.34% at December 31, 2007.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $79,634 or 8.01% during the first quarter 2008 compared to 2007. The nominal increase in noninterest income is mainly due to an increase in income from trust services and service charges on deposit accounts that was offset by decreases in mortgage origination fees. The income from trust services increased $63,636 from the first quarter 2008 compared to 2007, which is primarily attributable to the increase in the trust accounts being serviced by TNB Financial Services. The income from service charges on deposit accounts increased $20,488 from the first quarter 2008 compared to 2007, which is primarily attributable to the increase in noninterest-bearing deposit accounts. Mortgage origination fees decreased by $17,277 from the first quarter 2008 compared to 2007, which can be attributed to a decrease in the volume of mortgage lending.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Noninterest Income and Expense (Continued)

Noninterest expense increased $72,877 or 3.72% during the first quarter 2008 compared to 2007. Salaries and benefits accounted for the majority of the change by increasing $23,127 or 2.08%. The increase is contributed to higher overall employee costs in 2008 compared to the 2007 costs. The other operating expenses also increased in the first quarter by $47,532 as compared to the first quarter 2007. The increase in the other operating expenses was driven by increases in postage and freight and FDIC assessments. The increase in personnel and other operating expenses was offset slightly by a decline in data processing expenses of approximately $36,267. This decrease was noted in the actual costs of data processing and in the related expenses such as outside programmers and ATMs. The remaining components of noninterest expense were fairly consistent with the expenses recorded during the first quarter 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Various other accounting proposals affecting the banking industry are pending with the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Given the inherent uncertainty of the proposal process, the Company cannot assess the impact of any such proposals on its financial condition or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives have made, and may continue to make, various written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to business and financial matters, including statements contained in this report, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and press releases. Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, including statements related to loan growth, deposit growth, per share growth, and statements expressing general sentiment about future operating results and non-historical information, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management’s then current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events.

Forward-Looking Statements (Continued)

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying forward-looking statements include:

 

   

Competitive pressures between depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly.

 

   

Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins and impact funding sources.

 

   

General economic or business conditions in the geographic regions and industry in which the Company operates may lead to deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit.

 

   

Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, monetary policies, and taxation requirements, may adversely affect the Company’s business.

Other factors include:

 

   

Changes in consumer spending and saving habits as well as real estate markets.

 

   

Management of costs associated with expansion of existing and development of new distribution channels, and ability to realize increased revenues from these distribution channels.

 

   

The outcome of litigation which depends on judicial interpretations of law and findings of juries.

 

   

The effect of mergers, acquisitions, and/or dispositions and their integration into the Company.

 

   

Other risks and uncertainties as detailed from time to time in Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Many of the factors that will determine actual financial performance and values are beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control. This Analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management has developed and implemented a policy and procedures for reviewing disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting on a quarterly basis. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer (who is both the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008 and, based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that these controls and procedures are operating effectively. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
