PART I
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on February 8, 1983. As used herein, the term Company refers to Lakeland Financial Corporation, or if the context dictates, Lakeland Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake City Bank (the Bank), an Indiana state bank headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana. Also included in the consolidated financial statements is LCB Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lake City Bank, which is a Bermuda corporation that manages a portion of the Banks investment portfolio. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
General
Companys Business. The Company is a bank holding company as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of Lake City Bank, Warsaw, Indiana, a full service commercial bank organized under Indiana law. In trust, the Bank recognizes a wholly-owned subsidiary, LCB Investments Limited, which manages a portion of the Banks investment portfolio. The Company conducts no business except that incident to its ownership of the outstanding stock of the Bank and the operation of the Bank.
The Banks deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Banks activities cover all phases of commercial banking, including checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase, commercial and agricultural lending, direct and indirect consumer lending, real estate mortgage lending, retail and merchant credit card services, corporate cash management services, retirement services, bond administration, safe deposit box service and trust and brokerage services.
The Banks main banking office is located at 202 East Center Street, Warsaw, Indiana. As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had 43 offices in twelve counties throughout northern Indiana.
Banks Business. The Bank was originally organized in 1872 and has continuously operated under the laws of the State of Indiana since its organization. The Banks activities cover all phases of commercial banking, including checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase, commercial and agricultural lending, direct and indirect consumer lending, real estate mortgage lending, retail and merchant credit card services, corporate cash management services, retirement services, bond administration, safe deposit box services and trust and brokerage services. The interest rates for both deposits and loans, as well as the range of services provided, are consistent with those of all banks competing within the Banks service area.
The Bank competes for loans principally through a high degree of customer contact, timely loan review and approval, market-driven competitive loan pricing in certain situations and the Banks reputation throughout the region. The Bank believes that its convenience, quality service and high touch, responsive approach to banking enhances its ability to compete favorably in attracting and retaining individual and business customers. The Bank actively solicits deposit-related customers and competes for customers by offering personal attention, professional service and competitive interest rates.
Market Overview. While the Company operates in twelve counties, it currently defines operations by four primary geographical markets. They are the South Region, which includes Kosciusko and portions of contiguous counties; the North Region, which includes portions of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, the Central Region, which includes portions of Elkhart County and contiguous counties; and the East Region, which includes Allen and contiguous counties. The South Region includes the city of Warsaw, which is the location of the Companys headquarters. The Company has had a presence in this region since 1872. It has been in the North and Central Regions, which includes the cities of Elkhart, South Bend and Goshen, since 1990. The Company opened its first office in the East Region, which includes the cities of Fort Wayne and Auburn, in 1999.
3
The Company believes that these are well-established and fairly diverse economic regions. The Companys markets include a mix of industrial and service companies with no business or industry concentrations. Furthermore, no single industry or employer dominates any of the markets. Fort Wayne represents the largest population center served by the Company with a population of 206,000, according to 2000 U.S. Census Bureau data. South Bend, with a 2000 population of 108,000, is the second largest city served by the Company. Elkhart, with a 2000 population of 52,000, is the third largest city that the Company currently serves. As a result of the presence of offices in twelve counties that are widely dispersed, no single city or industry represents an undue concentration.
Expansion Strategy. The Companys expansion strategy is driven primarily by the potential for increased penetration in existing markets where opportunities for market share growth exists. Additionally, management considers growth in new markets with a close geographic proximity to its current operations. These markets are considered when the Company believes they would be receptive to its strategic plan to deliver broad based financial services with a commitment to local communities. Since the early 1990s, the Company has focused on growth through de novo branching in locations that management believes have potential for creating new market opportunities or for further penetrating existing markets. The Company also acquired the Fort Wayne, Indiana office of Indiana Capital Management Bank & Trust in late 2003 to augment the existing trust and investment management business and further penetrate the Fort Wayne market. In late 2005, the Company added significant capabilities to the trust and investment management business in Fort Wayne with the addition of three seasoned trust professionals. In new markets, the Company believes it is critical to attract experienced local management with a similar philosophy in order to provide a basis for success.
The Company also considers opportunities beyond current markets when the Companys board of directors and management believes that the opportunity will provide a desirable strategic fit without posing undue risk. The Company does not currently have any definitive understandings or agreements for any acquisitions or de novo expansion.
Products and Services. The Company is a full service commercial bank and provides commercial, retail, trust and investment management services to its customers. Commercial products include commercial loans and technology-driven solutions to commercial customers cash management needs such as internet business banking and on-line cash management services in addition to retirement services, bond administration and health savings account services. Retail banking clients are provided a wide array of traditional retail banking services, including lending, deposit and investment services. Retail lending programs are focused on mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and traditional retail installment loans, including indirect automotive financing. The Company provides credit card services to retail and commercial customers through an outsourced retail card program and merchant processing activity. The Company also has an Honors Private Banking program that is positioned to serve the more financially sophisticated customer with a menu including investment management and trust services, executive mortgage programs and access to financial planning seminars and programs. The Banks Prospero Program is dedicated to serving the expanding financial needs of the Latino community. The Company provides trust clients with traditional personal and corporate trust and investment services. The Company also provides retail brokerage services, including an array of financial and investment products such as annuities and life insurance.
This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Companys management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, plan, intend, estimate, may, will, would, could, should or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

The Companys ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries are detailed in the Risk Factors section included under Item 1a. of Part I of this Form 10-K. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including ours, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries. These additional factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks. |
|
The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation. |
|
Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. |
|
The ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated. |
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information regarding these and other risks, uncertainties and other factors, please review the disclosure in this annual report under Risk Factors.
Business Developments
The Company conducts no business except that which is incident to its ownership of the stock of the Bank, the collection of dividends from the Bank, and the disbursement of dividends to shareholders.
Lakeland Statutory Trust II (the Trust), a statutory business trust, was formed under Connecticut law pursuant to a trust agreement dated October 1, 2003 and a certificate of trust filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State on October 1, 2003. Through a private placement, the trust issued $30.0 million in trust preferred securities. The Trust exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing the trust securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the trust securities in the subordinated debentures issued by the Company, and (iii) engaging in only those activities necessary, advisable, or incidental thereto. The subordinated debentures are the only assets of the Trust, and payments under the subordinated debentures are the only revenue of the Trust. The Trust has a term of 35 years, but may be terminated earlier as provided in the trust agreement. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the Trust is not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Competition
The Banks primary service area is northern Indiana. In addition to the banks located within its service area, the Bank also competes with savings and loan associations, credit unions, farm credit services, finance companies, personal loan companies, insurance companies, money market funds, and other non-depository financial intermediaries. Also, financial intermediaries such as money market mutual funds and large retailers are not subject to the same regulations and laws that govern the operation of traditional depository institutions and accordingly may have an advantage in competing for funds.
The Bank competes with other major banks for large commercial deposit and loan accounts. The Bank is presently subject to an aggregate maximum loan limit to any single account pursuant to Indiana law of $22.4 million. The Bank currently enforces an internal limit of $15.0 million, which is less than the amount permitted by law. This maximum might occasionally limit the Bank from providing loans to those businesses or personal accounts whose borrowings periodically exceed this amount. In the event this were to occur, the Bank maintains correspondent relationships with other financial institutions. The Bank may participate with other banks in the placement of large borrowings in excess of its lending limit. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home
5
Loan Bank of Indianapolis in order to broaden its mortgage lending and investment activities and to provide additional funds, if necessary, to support these activities.
Foreign Operations
The Company has no investments with any foreign entity other than two nominal demand deposit accounts. One is maintained with a Canadian bank in order to facilitate the clearing of checks drawn on banks located in other countries. The other is maintained with a bank in Bermuda for LCB Investments Limited to be used for administrative expenses. There are no foreign loans.
Employees
At December 31, 2005, the Company, including its subsidiaries, had 434 full-time equivalent employees. Benefit programs include a 401(k) plan, group medical insurance, group life insurance and paid vacations. The Company also maintained a defined benefit pension plan which, effective April 1, 2000, was frozen and employees can no longer accrue new benefits under that plan. The Company also has a stock option plan under which stock options may be granted to employees and directors. The Bank is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement, and employee relations are considered good.
Internet Website
The Company maintains an Internet site at www.lakecitybank.com. The Company makes available free of charge on this site its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after it electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Companys Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Code of Conduct and the charters of its various committees of the Board of Directors are also available on the website.
General
Financial institutions, their holding companies and their affiliates are extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of the Company may be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of federal and state statutes and by the regulations and policies of various bank regulatory authorities, including the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the DFI), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC). Furthermore, taxation laws administered by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and securities laws administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and state securities authorities have an impact on the business of the Company. The effect of these statutes, regulations and regulatory policies may be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions regulate, among other things, the scope of business, the kinds and amounts of investments, reserve requirements, capital levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers and consolidations and the payment of dividends. This system of supervision and regulation establishes a comprehensive framework for the respective operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC-insured deposits and depositors of the Bank, rather than shareholders.
The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory framework that applies to the Company and its subsidiaries. It does not describe all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply, nor does it restate all of the requirements of those that are described. As such, the following is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law. Any change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company
General. The Company, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, is a bank holding company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances where the Company might not otherwise do so. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve. The Company is required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of the Companys operations and such additional information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company is also subject to regulation by the DFI under Indiana law.
Acquisitions, Activities and Change in Control. The primary purpose of a bank holding company is to control and manage banks. The BHCA generally requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve for any merger involving a bank holding company or any acquisition by a bank holding company of another bank or bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States. In approving interstate acquisitions, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding companies) and state laws that require that the target bank have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.
The BHCA generally prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto. This authority would permit the Company to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau (including software development), and mortgage banking and brokerage. The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies.
Additionally, bank holding companies that meet certain eligibility requirements prescribed by the BHCA and elect to operate as financial holding companies may engage in, or own shares in companies engaged in, a wider range of nonbanking activities, including securities and insurance underwriting and sales, merchant banking and any other activity that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is financial in nature, incidental to any such financial activity or complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not applied for approval to operate as a financial holding company.
Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring control of an FDIC-insured depository institution or its holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. Control is conclusively presumed to exist upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a bank or bank holding company, but may arise under certain circumstances at 10% ownership.
Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. If capital levels fall below the minimum required levels, a bank holding company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses.
The Federal Reserves capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: (i) a risk-based requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets
7
weighted according to risk; and (ii) a leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4%. The leverage requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of permanent stockholders equity less intangible assets (other than certain loan servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships). Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and equity instruments that do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the companys allowance for loan and lease losses.
The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example, the Federal Reserves capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1 capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserves minimum requirements.
Dividend Payments. The Companys ability to pay dividends to its shareholders may be affected by both general corporate law considerations and policies of the Federal Reserve applicable to bank holding companies. As an Indiana corporation, the Company is subject to the limitations of the Indiana General Business Corporation Law, which prohibit the Company from paying dividends if the Company is, or by payment of the dividend would become, insolvent, or if the payment of dividends would render the Company unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business. Additionally, policies of the Federal Reserve caution that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends that exceed its net income or that can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding companys financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal Reserve also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies.
Federal Securities Regulation. The Companys common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Consequently, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The Bank
General. The Bank is an Indiana-chartered bank, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDICs Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). On of February 10, 2006, the Bank became was notified that its application to become a member of the Federal Reserve System (member bank) had been accepted. As an Indiana-chartered, FDIC-insured member bank, the Bank is presently subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the DFI, the chartering authority for Indiana banks, the Federal Reserve, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF. Because the Bank was not a member bank during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Banks primary federal regulator during the year ended December 31, 2005, was the FDIC, which is the agency designated by federal law as the primary federal regulator of state-chartered, FDIC-insured banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluations. Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.
8
During the year ended December 31, 2005, BIF assessments ranged from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period beginning January 1, 2006, BIF assessment rates will continue to range from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits.
FICO Assessments. Since 1987, a portion of the deposit insurance assessments paid by members of the FDICs Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) has been used to cover interest payments due on the outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation (FICO). FICO was created in 1987 to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the SAIFs predecessor insurance fund. As a result of federal legislation enacted in 1996, beginning as of January 1, 1997, both SAIF members and BIF members became subject to assessments to cover the interest payments on outstanding FICO obligations until the final maturity of such obligations in 2019. These FICO assessments are in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the FICO assessment rate for BIF and SAIF members was approximately 0.01% of deposits.
Supervisory Assessments. All Indiana banks are required to pay supervisory assessments to the DFI to fund the operations of the DFI. The amount of the assessment is calculated on the basis of the banks total assets. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Bank paid supervisory assessments to the DFI totaling $116,000.
Capital Requirements. Banks are generally required to maintain capital levels in excess of other businesses. The regulations of the FDIC (to which the Bank was subject during the year-ended December 31, 2005) and the regulations of the Federal Reserve (to which the Bank became subject when it became a member bank) establish the following minimum capital standards for the banks regulated by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve: (i) a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a minimum requirement of at least 4% for all others; and (ii) a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4%. In general, the components of Tier 1 capital and total capital are the same as those for bank holding companies discussed above.
The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, regulations of the Federal Reserve provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities.
Further, federal law and regulations provide various incentives for financial institutions to maintain regulatory capital at levels in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. For example, a financial institution that is well-capitalized may qualify for exemptions from prior notice or application requirements otherwise applicable to certain types of activities and may qualify for expedited processing of other required notices or applications. Additionally, one of the criteria that determines a bank holding companys eligibility to operate as a financial holding company is a requirement that all of its financial institution subsidiaries be well-capitalized. Under the regulations of the Federal Reserve, in order to be well-capitalized a financial institution must maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 10% or greater, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 6% or greater and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 5% or greater.
Federal law also provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators powers depends on whether the institution in question is adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized, in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators corrective powers include: (i) requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan; (ii) limiting the institutions asset growth and restricting its activities; (iii) requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; (iv) restricting transactions between the institution and its affiliates; (v) restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; (vi) ordering a new election of directors of the institution; (vii) requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; (viii) prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; (ix) requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; (x) prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and (xi) ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.
9
As of December 31, 2005: (i) the Bank was not subject to a directive from the FDIC to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory capital requirements; (ii) the Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements under FDIC capital adequacy guidelines; and (iii) the Bank was well-capitalized, as defined by FDIC regulations.
Dividend Payments. The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from the Bank. The Bank is required to obtain the approval of the DFI for the payment of any dividend if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, would exceed the sum of the Banks retained net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous two years. Indiana law defines retained net income to mean the net income of a specified period, calculated under the consolidated report of income instructions, less the total amount of all dividends declared for the specified period. Without Federal Reserve approval, a state member bank may not pay dividends in any calendar year that, in the aggregate, exceed the banks calendar year-to-date net income plus the banks retained net income for the two preceding calendar years.
The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, the Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $27.6 million was available to be paid as dividends by the Bank. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit the payment of any dividends by the Bank if the Federal Reserve determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
Insider Transactions. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company as collateral for loans made by the Bank. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company, to principal shareholders of the Company and to related interests of such directors, officers and principal shareholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person who is a director or officer of the Company or the Bank or a principal shareholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines that establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.
In general, the safety and soundness guidelines prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institutions primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulators order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institutions rate of growth, require the institution to increase its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments.
Branching Authority. Indiana banks, such as the Bank, have the authority under Indiana law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Indiana, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
10
Federal law permits state and national banks to merge with banks in other states subject to: (i) regulatory approval; (ii) federal and state deposit concentration limits; and (iii) state law limitations requiring the merging bank to have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) prior to the merger. The establishment of new interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is permitted only in those states the laws of which expressly authorize such expansion.
State Bank Investments and Activities. The Bank generally is permitted to make investments and engage in activities directly or through subsidiaries as authorized by Indiana law. However, under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC-insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit FDIC-insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member. These restrictions have not had, and are not currently expected to have, a material impact on the operations of the Bank.
Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in effect, require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts), as follows: for transaction accounts aggregating $48.3 million or less, the reserve requirement is 3% of total transaction accounts; and for transaction accounts aggregating in excess of $48.3 million, the reserve requirement is $1.215 million plus 10% of the aggregate amount of total transaction accounts in excess of $48.3 million. The first $7.8 million of otherwise reservable balances are exempted from the reserve requirements. These reserve requirements are subject to annual adjustment by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing requirements.
Recent Regulatory Developments
On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA) into law as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and on February 15, 2006, President Bush signed into law the technical and conforming amendments designed to implement FDIRA. FDIRA provides for legislative reforms to modernize the federal deposit insurance system.
Among other things, FDIRA: (i) merges the BIF and the SAIF of the FDIC into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF); (ii) allows the FDIC, after March 31, 2010, to increase deposit insurance coverage by an adjustment for inflation and requires the FDICs Board of Directors, not later than April 1, 2010 and every five years thereafter, to consider whether such an increase is warranted; (iii) increases the deposit insurance limit for certain employee benefit plan deposits from $100,000 to $250,000, subject to adjustments for inflation after March 31, 2010, and provides for pass-through insurance coverage for such deposits; (iv) increases the deposit insurance limit for certain retirement account deposits from $100,000 to $250,000, subject to adjustments for inflation after March 31, 2010; (v) allows the FDICs Board of Directors to set deposit insurance premium assessments in any amount the Board of Directors deems necessary or appropriate, after taking into account various factors specified in FDIRA; (vi) replaces the fixed designated reserve ratio of 1.25% with a reserve ratio range of 1.15%-1.50%, with the specific reserve ratio to be determined annually by the FDIC by regulation; (vii) permits the FDIC to revise the risk-based assessment system by regulation; (viii) requires the FDIC, at the end of any year in which the reserve ratio of the DIF exceeds 1.5% of estimated insured deposits, to declare a dividend payable to insured depository institutions in an amount equal to 100% of the amount held by the DIF in excess of the amount necessary to maintain the DIFs reserve ratio at 1.5% of estimated insured deposits or to declare a dividend equal to 50% of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to maintain the reserve ratio at 1.35% if the reserve ratio is between 1.35%-1.5% of estimated insured deposits; and (ix) provides a one-time credit based upon the assessment base of the institution on December 31, 1996 to each insured depository institution that was in existence as of December 31, 1996 and paid a deposit insurance assessment prior to that date (or a successor to any such institution).
The merger of the BIF and SAIF takes effect June 1, 2006, while the remaining provisions are not effective until the FDIC issues final regulations. FDIRA requires the FDIC to issue final regulations no later than 270 days after enactment: (i) designating a reserve ratio; (ii) implementing increases in deposit insurance coverage; (iii) implementing the dividend requirement; (iv) implementing the one-time assessment credit; and (v) providing for assessments in accordance with FDIRA.

The earning assets and interest bearing liabilities used to calculate interest differentials are based on average daily balances for 2005, 2004 and 2003. The changes in volume represent changes in volume times the old rate. The changes in rate represent changes in rate times old volume. The changes in rate/volume were also calculated by change in rate times change in volume and allocated consistently based upon the relative absolute values of the changes in volume and changes in rate. |

Tax exempt income was converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis at a 35 percent tax rate for 2005, 2004 and 2003. The tax equivalent rate for tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities acquired after January 1, 1983 included the TEFRA adjustment applicable to nondeductible interest expense. |

ANALYSIS OF LOAN PORTFOLIO (cont.)
Comments Regarding Nonperforming Assets
PART A - CONSUMER LOANS
Consumer installment loans, except those loans that are secured by real estate, are not placed on nonaccrual status since these loans are charged-off when they have been delinquent from 90 to 180 days, and when the related collateral, if any, is not sufficient to offset the indebtedness. Advances under Mastercard and Visa programs, as well as advances under all other consumer line of credit programs, are charged-off when collection appears doubtful.
PART B - NONPERFORMING LOANS
When a loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan, interest on the loan is no longer accrued and all accrued interest receivable is charged off. It is the policy of the Bank that all loans for which the collateral is insufficient to cover all principal and accrued interest will be reclassified as nonperforming loans to the extent they are unsecured, on or before the date when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. Thereafter, interest is recognized and included in income only when received. Interest not recorded on nonaccrual loans is referenced in Footnote 4 in Item 8 below.
As of December 31, 2005, there were $7.3 million of loans on nonaccrual status, some of which were also on impaired status. There were $6.9 million of loans classified as impaired.
PART C - TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURED LOANS
Loans renegotiated as troubled debt restructurings are those loans for which either the contractual interest rate has been reduced and/or other concessions are granted to the borrower because of a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower which results in the inability of the borrower to meet the terms of the loan.
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no loans renegotiated as troubled debt restructurings.
PART D - OTHER NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Management is of the opinion that there are no significant foreseeable losses relating to nonperforming assets, as defined in the preceding table, or classified loans, except as discussed above in Part B Nonperforming Loans and Part C Troubled Debt Restructured Loans.
PART E - LOAN CONCENTRATIONS
There were no loan concentrations within industries not otherwise disclosed, which exceeded ten percent of total loans except commercial real estate. Commercial real estate was $278.9 million at December 31, 2005. Nearly all of the Banks commercial, industrial, agricultural real estate mortgage, real estate construction mortgage and consumer loans are made within its basic service area.
23
Basis For Determining Allowance For Loan Losses:
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation, as well as other probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of general allowance is determined after considering the following: application of historical loss percentages, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity and general economic conditions.
Based upon these policies and objectives, $2.5 million, $1.2 million and $2.3 million were charged to the provision for loan losses and added to the allowance for loan losses in 2005, 2004 and 2003.
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various lending areas is performed by management in relation to perceived exposure to loss in the various loan portfolios. However, the allowance for loan losses is available in its entirety to absorb losses in any particular loan category.

In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, shareholders or prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors:
Our business is concentrated in and dependent upon the continued growth and welfare of our primary market areas.
We operate primarily in four geographical markets, all of which are located in Northern Indiana and are further described in the Business section included under Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-K. We have developed a particularly strong presence in the South Region, which includes Kosciusko County and portions of contiguous counties, the North Region, which includes portions of Elkhart and St. Joseph County, and the Central Region, which includes portions of Elkhart County and contiguous counties. These regions represent the more mature markets. In addition, we have experienced rapid growth in the East Region, which includes Allen and DeKalb Counties. Our success depends upon the business activity, population, income levels, deposits and real estate activity in these markets. Although our customers business and financial interests may extend well beyond these market areas, adverse economic conditions that affect these market areas could reduce our growth rate, affect the ability of our customers to repay their loans to us and generally affect our financial condition and results of operations. Because of our geographic concentration, we are less able than other regional or national financial institutions to diversify our credit risks across multiple markets.
We may experience difficulties in managing our growth and our growth strategy involves risks that may negatively impact our net income.
As part of our general growth strategy, we may expand into additional communities or attempt to strengthen our position in our current markets by opening new branches and acquiring existing branches of other financial institutions. To the extent that we undertake additional branch openings and acquisitions, we are likely to continue to experience the effects of higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations, which may have an adverse effect on our levels of reported net income, return on average equity and return on average assets. Other effects of engaging in such growth strategies may include potential diversion of our managements time and attention and general disruption to our business.
Although we do not have any current plans to do so, we may also acquire banks and related businesses that we believe provide a strategic fit with our business or engage in de novo bank formations. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions and de novo bank formations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to adequately and profitably manage this growth. Acquiring other banks and businesses will involve similar risks to those commonly associated with branching, but may also involve additional risks, including:
|
potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of banks and businesses we acquire; | |
|
exposure to potential asset quality issues of the acquired bank or related business; |
|
|
difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and personnel of banks and businesses we acquire; and |
|
the possible loss of key employees and customers of the banks and businesses we acquire. |
We face intense competition in all phases of our business from other banks and financial institutions.
The banking and financial services business in our market is highly competitive. Our competitors include large regional banks, local community banks, savings and loan associations, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, finance companies, money market mutual funds, credit unions, farm credit services and other non-bank financial service providers. Many of these competitors are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as we are and are able to provide customers with a feasible alternative to traditional banking services.
30
Increased competition in our market may also result in a decrease in the amounts of our loans and deposits, reduced spreads between loan rates and deposit rates or loan terms that are more favorable to the borrower. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow and remain profitable. If increased competition causes us to significantly discount the interest rates we offer on loans or increase the amount we pay on deposits, our net interest income could be adversely impacted. If increased competition causes us to relax our underwriting standards, we could be exposed to higher losses from lending activities. Additionally, many of our competitors are much larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and larger lending limits and offer a broader range of financial services than we can offer.
Interest rates and other conditions impact our results of operations.
Our profitability is in part a function of the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Like most banking institutions, our net interest spread and margin will be affected by general economic conditions and other factors, including fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, that influence market interest rates and our ability to respond to changes in such rates. At any given time, our assets and liabilities will be such that they are affected differently by a given change in interest rates. As a result, an increase or decrease in rates, the length of loan terms or the mix of adjustable and fixed rate loans in our portfolio could have a positive or negative effect on our net income, capital and liquidity. We measure interest rate risk under various rate scenarios and using specific criteria and assumptions. A summary of this process, along with the results of our net interest income simulations is presented at Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included under Item 7a of Part II of this Form 10-K. Although we believe our current level of interest rate sensitivity is reasonable and effectively managed, significant fluctuations in interest rates may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We must effectively manage our credit risk.
There are risks inherent in making any loan, including risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, risks of nonpayment, risks resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of collateral and risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions. We attempt to minimize our credit risk through prudent loan application approval procedures, careful monitoring of the concentration of our loans within specific industries, a centralized credit administration department and periodic independent reviews of outstanding loans by our loan review department. However, we cannot assure you that such approval and monitoring procedures will reduce these credit risks.
The majority of the banks loan portfolio is invested in commercial and commercial real estate loans. These loans represent higher dollar volumes to fewer customers. As a result, we may assume greater lending risks than other community banking-type financial institutions that have a lesser concentration of such loans and are more retail oriented. Our lending activity and the risks commonly associated with such lending are further described in the Managements Discussion and Analysis section included under Item 7 of Part II of this Form 10-K.
Commercial and industrial and agri-business loans make up a significant portion of our loan portfolio.
Commercial and industrial and agri-business loans were $964.6 million, or approximately 81% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2005. Our commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flow of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. Most often, this collateral is accounts receivable, inventory, machinery or real estate. Credit support provided by the borrower for most of these loans and the probability of repayment is based on the liquidation of the pledged collateral and enforcement of a personal guarantee, if any exists. Whenever possible, we require a personal guarantee on commercial loans. As a result, in the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. The collateral securing other loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
31
Our loan portfolio has a large concentration of commercial real estate loans, which involve risks specific to real estate value.
Real estate lending (including commercial, construction, and, to a much lesser extent, residential) is a large portion of our loan portfolio. The market value of real estate can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. Although a significant portion of such loans are secured by real estate as a secondary form of collateral, adverse developments affecting real estate values in one or more of our markets could increase the credit risk associated with our loan portfolio. Additionally, real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of the loans generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the properties securing the loans to cover operating expenses and debt service. Economic events or governmental regulations outside of the control of the borrower or lender could negatively impact the future cash flow and market values of the affected properties.
If the loans that are collateralized by real estate become troubled during a time when market conditions are declining or have declined, then we may not be able to realize the amount of security that we anticipated at the time of originating the loan, which could cause us to increase our provision for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our consumer loans generally have a higher degree of risk of default than our other loans.
At December 31, 2005, consumer loans totaled $159.4 million, or 13%, of our total loan and lease portfolio. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances with higher yields as compared to one-to four-family residential loans, but generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrowers continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on these loans.
Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb potential losses in our loan portfolio.
We established our allowance for loan losses in consultation with management and regulatory authorities and maintain it at a level considered adequate by management to absorb loan losses that are inherent in the portfolio. The amount of future loan losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates, which may be beyond our control, and such losses may exceed current estimates. At December 31, 2005, our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% and as a percentage of total non-performing loans was approximately 170%. Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses on any existing loans that may become uncollectible, we cannot predict loan losses with certainty, and we cannot assure you that our allowance for loan losses will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. Loan losses in excess of our reserves may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses and the methodology we use to determine an appropriate level of reserves is located in the Managements Discussion and Analysis section included under Item 7 of Part II of this Form 10-K.
Our continued pace of growth may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed.
We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We anticipate that our existing capital resources will satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may at some point need to raise additional capital to support our continued growth. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth, branching, de novo bank formations and/or acquisitions could be materially impaired.
32
Our community banking strategy relies heavily on our management team, and the unexpected loss of key managers may adversely affect our operations.
Much of our success to date has been influenced strongly by our ability to attract and to retain senior management experienced in banking and financial services and familiar with the communities in our market areas. Our ability to retain executive officers, the current management teams, branch managers and loan officers of our bank subsidiary will continue to be important to the successful implementation of our strategy. It is also critical, as we grow, to be able to attract and retain qualified additional management and loan officers with the appropriate level of experience and knowledge about our market areas to implement our community-based operating strategy. The unexpected loss of services of any key management personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government regulation can result in limitations on our operations.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and are subject to supervision and regulation by a number of governmental regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Regulations adopted by these agencies, which are generally intended to provide protection for depositors and customers rather than for the benefit of shareholders, govern a comprehensive range of matters relating to ownership and control of our shares, our acquisition of other companies and businesses, permissible activities for us to engage in, maintenance of adequate capital levels and other aspects of our operations. These bank regulators possess broad authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law. The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry could change at any time and we cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Increased regulation could increase our cost of compliance and adversely affect profitability. For example, new legislation or regulation may limit the manner in which we may conduct our business, including our ability to offer new products, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory interest spreads.
We have a continuing need for technological change and we may not have the resources to effectively implement new technology.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend in part upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations as we continue to grow and expand our market areas. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. As a result, they may be able to offer additional or superior products to those that we will be able to offer, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, we cannot provide you with assurance that we will be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers.
There is a limited trading market for our common shares, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price shareholders paid for them.
Although our common shares are listed for trading on the National Market of the NASDAQ Stock Market, the trading in our common shares has less liquidity than many other companies quoted on the NASDAQ National Market. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the market of willing buyers and sellers of our common shares at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. We cannot assure you that volume of trading in our common shares will increase in the future.
33
System failure or breaches of our network security could subject us to increased operating costs as well as litigation and other liabilities.
The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or a similar catastrophic event, as well as from security breaches, denial of service attacks, viruses, worms and other disruptive problems caused by hackers. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Computer break-ins, phishing and other disruptions could also jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and may cause existing and potential customers to refrain from doing business with us. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers, intend to continue to implement security technology and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be successful. In addition, advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms we and our third-party service providers use to encrypt and protect customer transaction data. A failure of such security measures could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited to, customer or employee fraud and data processing system failures and errors.
Employee errors and misconduct could subject us to financial losses or regulatory sanctions and seriously harm our reputation. Misconduct by our employees could include hiding unauthorized activities from us, improper or unauthorized activities on behalf of our customers or improper use of confidential information. It is not always possible to prevent employee errors and misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. Employee errors could also subject us to financial claims for negligence.
We maintain a system of internal controls and insurance coverage to mitigate operational risks, including data processing system failures and errors and customer or employee fraud. Should our internal controls fail to prevent or detect an occurrence, or if any resulting loss is not insured or exceeds applicable insurance limits, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Lakeland Financial Corporation is the holding company for Lake City Bank. The Company is headquartered in Warsaw, Indiana and operates 43 offices in twelve counties in northern Indiana. The Company earned $18.0 million for the year 2005 versus $14.5 million for 2004, an increase of 23.5%. The increase was driven primarily by a $6.9 million increase in net interest income and a $1.3 million increase in noninterest income, which included the sale of the Companys retail credit card portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2005. The sale of the portfolio resulted in a pre-tax gain of $863,000, or $513,000 on an after-tax basis. Offsetting these positive impacts was a $1.4 million increase in noninterest expense and a $1.3 million increase in the provision for loan losses. Excluding the impact of the gain on sale of the credit card portfolio, which was a one-time, non-recurring event, net income for the year 2005 would have been $17.4 million, or diluted net income per share of $2.84, a 20% increase versus $14.5 million in 2004. The Company earned $14.5 million for the year 2004 versus $13.9 million for 2003, an increase of 4.9%. The increase was driven by a $1.0 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $1.0 million decrease in noninterest expense and a $973,000 increase in net interest income. Offsetting these positive impacts was a $1.9 million decrease in non-interest income, driven by a $2.0 million decrease in net gains on the sale of mortgages held for sale.
Basic earnings per share for the year 2005 was $3.01 per share versus $2.48 per share for 2004 and $2.38 for 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended 2005 was $2.92 per share versus $2.40 per share for the year ended 2004 and $2.31 for the year ended 2003. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilutive impact of stock options granted under an employee stock option plan.
The Companys total assets were $1.635 billion as of December 31, 2005 versus $1.453 billion as of December 31, 2004, an increase of $181.5 million or 12.5%. This increase was primarily due to a $173.6 million increase in commercial loans from $791.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $964.6 million at December 31, 2005.
39
2005 versus 2004
The Company reported record net income of $18.0 million in 2005, an increase of $3.4 million, or 23.5%, versus net income of $14.5 million in 2004. Net interest income increased $6.9 million, or 16.0%, to $50.1 million versus $43.2 million in 2004. Net interest income increased due to growth in commercial loans as well as increases in interest rates in 2005 that contributed to an improvement in net interest income. Interest income increased $20.4 million, or 34.0%, from $60.0 million in 2004 to $80.4 million in 2005. The increase was driven primarily by an 89 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield on average earning assets over the year as well as increases in average earning assets. Interest expense increased $13.5 million, or 80.3%, from $16.8 million in 2004 to $30.4 million in 2005. The increase was primarily the result of an 97 basis point increase in the Companys daily cost of funds over the year. The Company had a net interest margin of 3.70% in 2005 versus 3.63% in 2004. Average earning assets increased by $160.7 million from $1.2 billion in 2004 to $1.4 billion in 2005. The primary driver was a $157.9 million increase in the average daily loan balance. This loan growth was led by significant growth in the Fort Wayne market and with balanced growth in the Banks other regions. Deposits increased to fund the loan growth during 2005, driven primarily by increases of $26.1 million in the average brokered deposit balances, $123.6 million in the average other time deposit account balances and increases of $15.4 million in the average daily demand deposit balances. Management believes that the growth in the loan portfolio will likely continue as a result of our strategic focus on commercial lending and in conjunction with the general expansion and penetration of the geographical markets the Company serves.
Nonaccrual loans were $7.3 million, or 0.61% of total loans, at year end versus $7.2 million, or 0.72% of total loans, at the end of 2004. There were five relationships totaling $6.9 million classified as impaired as of December 31, 2005 versus four relationships totaling $9.3 million at the end of 2004. The decrease in impaired loans was due primarily to the upgrade of a single commercial credit that was classified as impaired because, pursuant to the terms of the loan documentation, it had matured, although the parties were working to have it renewed. The renewal of the loan in question had been complicated as more than one bank was involved which resulted in it being past maturity. The renewal issues were resolved in the third quarter of 2005, the participant bank is no longer involved in the credit and the loan is current as to principal and interest. Net charge-offs were $460,000 in 2005 versus $703,000 in 2004, representing 0.04% and 0.08% of average daily loans in 2005 and 2004. Total nonperforming loans were $7.5 million, or 0.63% of total loans, at year end 2005 versus $10.0 million, or 1.00% of total loans, at the end of 2004. The provision for loan loss expense was $2.5 million in 2005, resulting in an allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2005 of $12.8 million, which represented 1.07% of the loan portfolio, versus a provision for loan loss expense of $1.2 million in 2004 and an allowance for loan losses of $10.8 million at the end of 2004, or 1.07% of the loan portfolio. The higher provision in 2005 versus 2004 was attributable to a number of factors, but was primarily a result of general growth in the loan portfolio as well as higher allocations on specific watch list credits. The level of loan loss provision is also influenced by other factors related to the growth in the loan portfolio, such as emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss percentages. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the allocation for specific watch list credits in determining the appropriate level of the loan loss provision. Managements overall view on current credit quality was also a factor in the determination of the provision for loan losses. The Companys management continues to monitor the adequacy of the provision based on loan levels, asset quality, economic conditions and other factors that may influence the assessment of the collectability of loans.
Noninterest income was $17.9 million in 2005 versus $16.6 million in 2004, an increase of $1.3 million, or 8.1%. The increase primarily resulted from an $863,000 gain on the sale of the Companys retail credit card portfolio. Managements decision to sell the portfolio was driven by the desire to provide a more fully featured business and retail credit card program to clients. Additionally, noninterest income increased due to a $216,000, or 9.7%, increase in merchant card fee income driven by higher volume activity in interchange and merchant fees. Other income increased by $234,000, or 15.9% driven by a $169,000 increase in income earned on bank owned life insurance in 2005 versus 2004 and a $62,000 gain on the sale of other real estate.
Noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 3.8%, from $36.7 million in 2004 to $38.1 million in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $870,000, or 4.4%, driven by higher incentive-based
40
compensation as well as normal salary increases and staff additions. Other expense increased by $433,000, or 5.1%, driven by higher corporate and business development expenses as well as higher professional fees. Net occupancy expense increased from $2.5 million in 2004 to $2.8 million in 2005, primarily as a result of higher property taxes and maintenance expense. Equipment expense decreased from $2.1 million in 2004 to $1.9 million in 2005, primarily as a result of lower depreciation expense. Depreciation expense was lower as a result of technology asset additions related to system upgrades in prior years. Most of these assets have now fully depreciated, and still reporesent stable technology platforms. Data processing fees and supplies decreased from $2.5 million in 2004 to $2.4 million in 2005 primarily due to improved pricing with the Companys processing agents. Credit card interchange fees increased from $1.4 million in 2004 to $1.5 million in 2005 driven by higher processing costs charged by VISA and increased credit card usage.
As a result of these factors, income before income tax expense increased $5.6 million, or 25.6%, from $21.8 million in 2004 to $27.4 million in 2005. Income tax expense was $9.5 million in 2005 versus $7.3 million in 2004. Income tax as a percentage of income before tax was 34.5% in 2005 versus 33.4% in 2004. The higher tax rate resulted from a decreased percentage of the Companys income being derived from tax-advantaged sources. Net income increased $3.4 million, or 23.5%, to $18.0 million in 2005 versus $14.5 million in 2004. Basic earnings per share in 2005 was $3.01, an increase of 21.4%, versus $2.48 in 2004. The Companys net income performance represented a 17.7% return on January 1, 2005, stockholders equity versus 16.2% in 2004. The net income performance resulted in a 1.20% return on average daily assets in 2005 versus 1.09% in 2004.
2004 versus 2003
The Company reported record net income of $14.5 million in 2004, an increase of $680,000, or 4.9%, versus net income of $13.9 million in 2003. Net interest income increased $973,000, or 2.3%, to $43.2 million versus $42.2 million in 2003. Net interest income increased due to a decrease in interest expense on interest bearing checking accounts and long-term borrowings, as well as growth in commercial loans, which offset some of the effect of the declining interest rates during the year. Despite growth in earning assets, interest income decreased $331,000, or 0.6%, from $60.3 million in 2003 to $60.0 million in 2004. The decrease was driven primarily by a 33 basis point reduction in the tax equivalent yield on average earning assets over the year. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 7.2%, from $18.1 million in 2003 to $16.8 million in 2004. The decrease was primarily the result of a 21 basis point decrease in the Companys daily cost of funds over the year. The Company had a net interest margin of 3.63% in 2004 versus 3.82% in 2003. Average earning assets increased by $88.5 million from $1.1 billion in 2003 to $1.2 billion in 2004. The primary driver was an $83.4 million increase in the average daily loan balance. Deposits increased to fund the loan growth during 2004, driven primarily by increases of $57.6 million in the average daily interest bearing checking account balances and increases of $33.9 million in the average daily demand deposit balances.
Nonaccrual loans were $7.2 million, or 0.72% of total loans, at year end versus $553,000, or 0.06% of total loans, at the end of 2003. There were four relationships totaling $9.3 million classified as impaired as of December 31, 2004 versus two relationships totaling $3.0 million at the end of 2003. The increase in both nonaccrual and impaired loans was due primarily to one commercial credit totaling $6.1 million. The borrower filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy late in the third quarter of 2004 and was in the process of determining its future business strategy. Borrower collateral and the personal guarantees of its principals support the credit. Net charge-offs were $703,000 in 2004 versus $1.6 million in 2003, representing 0.08% and 0.18% of average daily loans in 2004 and 2003. Total nonperforming loans were $10.0 million, or 1.00% of total loans, at year end 2004 versus $3.7 million, or 0.43% of total loans, at the end of 2003. The provision for loan loss expense was $1.2 million in 2004, resulting in an allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2004 of $10.8 million, which represented 1.07% of the loan portfolio, versus a provision for loan loss expense of $2.3 million in 2003 and an allowance for loan losses of $10.2 million at the end of 2003, or 1.18% of the loan portfolio. The lower provision in 2004 versus 2003 was attributable to a number of factors, but was primarily a result of the decrease in the level of charge-offs from $1.6 million in 2003 to $703,000 in 2004. The level of loan loss provision was also influenced by the overall growth in the loan portfolio and other factors related to this growth, such as emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss percentages. In addition, management gave consideration to changes in the allocation for specific watch list credits in determining the appropriate level of the loan loss provision. Managements overall view on the then-current credit quality was also a factor in the determination of the provision for loan losses. The
41
Companys management continued to monitor the adequacy of the provision based on loan levels, asset quality, economic conditions and other factors that may influence the assessment of the collectability of loans.
Noninterest income was $16.6 million in 2004 versus $18.4 million in 2003, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 10.1%. The decrease was driven by a $2.0 million, or 67.3%, decrease in gains on sale of mortgages, from $3.0 million in 2003 to $987,000 in 2004 as mortgage originations decreased from $143.2 million in 2003 to $59.3 million in 2004, a decrease of 58.6%. As experienced by the industry generally, this decrease was a result of the decreased level of mortgage activity during 2004 resulting from consumers having refinanced their homes in 2002 and 2003 when rates were falling. Additionally, noninterest income decreased due to a $500,000 decrease in gains on securities sold. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases of $645,000, or 27.2%, in trust and brokerage fees and $472,000, or 27.0%, in merchant card fee income. The increase in trust and brokerage fees resulted primarily from the Companys December 1, 2003 acquisition of Indiana Capital Management while the increase in merchant card fees was driven by higher volume activity in interchange and merchant fee income.
Noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 2.7% from $37.7 million in 2003 to $36.7 million in 2004. Equipment expense decreased from $2.5 million in 2003 to $2.1 million in 2004, primarily as a result of lower depreciation expense and personal property tax expenses. Depreciation expense was lower as a result of technology asset additions related to system upgrades driven by Y2K issues; these assets were fully depreciated in mid 2004. Credit card interchange fees increased from $1.0 million in 2003 to $1.4 million in 2004 driven by higher processing costs charged by VISA and increased credit card usage. In addition, during 2003, the Company redeemed its existing high fixed rate subordinated debentures and reissued variable rate subordinated debentures at a lower rate to better match long-term assets and liabilities. The redemption resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $804,000.
As a result of these factors, income before income tax expense increased $1.2 million, or 5.6%, from $20.7 million in 2003 to $21.8 million in 2004. Income tax expense was $7.3 million in 2004 versus $6.8 million in 2003. Income tax as a percentage of income before tax was 33.4% in 2004 versus 33.0% in 2003. The higher tax rate resulted from a decreased percentage of the Companys income being derived from tax-advantaged sources. Net income increased $680,000, or 4.9%, to $14.5 million in 2004 versus $13.9 million in 2003. Basic earnings per share in 2004 was $2.48, an increase of 4.2%, versus $2.38 in 2003. The Companys net income performance represented a 16.2% return on January 1, 2004, stockholders equity versus 16.5% in 2003. The net income performance resulted in a 1.09% return on average daily assets in 2004 versus 1.12% in 2003.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had 43 offices serving twelve counties in northern Indiana. The Company added no new offices during 2005. Since 1996, the Company has added seventeen new offices through acquisition and internal growth. The Company will consider future acquisition and expansion opportunities with an emphasis on markets that it believes would be receptive to its business philosophy of local, independent banking. The Company sold five branches in its south region during the third quarter of 2001 in order to help position the Company to focus on growth opportunities in its core northern markets, which are anchored by the cities of Warsaw, Fort Wayne, Elkhart and South Bend, Indiana.
Total assets of the Company were $1.635 billion as of December 31, 2005, an increase of $181.5 million, or 12.5%, when compared to $1.453 billion as of December 31, 2004.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $21.2 million, or 20.4%, to $82.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $103.9 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to loan growth and the corresponding funding needs associated with that growth.
Total securities available for sale increased by $4.4 million, or 1.5%, to $290.9 million at December 31, 2005 from $286.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was a result of a number of activities in the securities portfolio. Paydowns from prepayments of $49.1 million were received, and the amortization of premiums, net of the accretion of discounts, was $2.6 million. Maturities, calls and sales of securities totaled $8.2 million. The fair value of the securities decreased $4.1 million as a result of the rising interest rate environment during 2005. These portfolio decreases were offset by securities purchases totaling $68.4 million. The investment portfolio is managed to limit the Companys exposure to risk and contains mostly collateralized mortgage obligations and other securities which are either directly or indirectly backed by the federal government or a local
42
municipal government. The investment portfolio did not contain any corporate debt instruments or trust preferred instruments as of December 31, 2005.
Real estate mortgages held for sale decreased by $2.0 million, or 67.9%, to $960,000 at December 31, 2005 from $3.0 million at December 31, 2004. The balance of this asset category is subject to a high degree of variability depending on, among other things, recent mortgage loan rates and the timing of loan sales into the secondary market. During 2005, $43.9 million in real estate mortgages were originated for sale and $45.5 million in mortgages were sold, compared to $59.3 million and $59.8 million in 2004. This lower volume of real estate mortgages originated was caused primarily by the increase in interest rates from historically low levels.
Total loans, excluding real estate mortgages held for sale, increased by $195.4 million, or 19.5%, to $1.199 billion at December 31, 2005 from $1.003 billion at December 31, 2004. The mix of loan types within the Companys portfolio continued a trend toward a higher percentage of the total loan portfolio being in commercial loans. The portfolio breakdown at year end 2005 reflected 81% commercial and industrial and agri-business, 6% real estate and 13% consumer loans compared to 79% commercial and industrial and agri-business, 5% real estate and 16% consumer loans at December 31, 2004.
At December 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million, or 1.07% of total loans outstanding, versus $10.8 million, or 1.07%, of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2004. The process of identifying probable credit losses is a subjective process. Therefore, the Company maintains a general allowance to cover probable incurred credit losses within the entire portfolio. The methodology management uses to determine the adequacy of the loan loss reserve includes the following considerations.
The Company has a relatively high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans, most of which are extended to small or medium-sized businesses. Commercial loans represent higher dollar loans to fewer customers and therefore higher credit risk. Pricing is adjusted to manage the higher credit risk associated with these types of loans. The majority of fixed rate mortgage loans, which represent increased interest rate risk, are sold in the secondary market, as well as some variable rate mortgage loans. The remainder of the variable rate mortgage loans and a small number of fixed rate mortgage loans are retained. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level commensurate with the overall risk exposure of the loan portfolio. However, if economic conditions would become unfavorable certain borrowers may experience difficulty and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for loan losses.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the uncollectability of the principal is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses relating to specifically identified loans based on an evaluation, as well as other probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon a monthly review of those credits. An appropriate level of general allowance is determined after considering the following factors: application of historical loss percentages, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentrations, new industry lending activity and current economic conditions. Federal regulations require insured institutions to classify their own assets on a regular basis. The regulations provide for three categories of classified loans substandard, doubtful and loss. The regulations also contain a special mention category. Special mention is defined as loans that do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification, but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving managements close attention. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish specific allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specified allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount. At December 31, 2005, on the basis of managements review of the loan portfolio, the Company had loans totaling $49.6 million on the classified loan list versus $56.2 million on December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $24.6 million of assets classified special mention, $24.7 million classified as substandard, $333,000 classified as doubtful and $0 classified as loss as compared to $32.1 million, $23.3 million, $751,000 and $0 at December 31, 2004.
43
Allowance estimates are developed by management taking into account actual loss experience, adjusted for current economic conditions. The Company discusses this methodology with regulatory authorities to ensure compliance. Allowance estimates are considered a prudent measurement of the risk in the Companys loan portfolio and are applied to individual loans based on loan type. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114, the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date and is based on past events and current economic conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions.
The Company has experienced growth in total loans over the last three years of $376.0 million, or 45.7%. The concentration of this loan growth was in the commercial loan portfolio. Commercial loans comprised 81%, 79% and 78% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. Traditionally, this type of lending may have more credit risk than other types of lending because of the size and diversity of the credits. The Company manages this risk by adjusting its pricing to the perceived risk of each individual credit and by diversifying the portfolio by customer, product, industry and geography. Management has historically considered growth and portfolio composition when determining loan loss allocations. Management believes that it is prudent to continue to provide for loan losses in a manner consistent with its historical approach due to the loan growth described above and current economic conditions.
As a result of the methodology in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the provision for loan losses was $2.5 million in 2005 versus $1.2 million in 2004. At December 31, 2005, total nonperforming loans decreased by $2.5 million to $7.5 million from $10.0 million at December 31, 2004. Loans delinquent 90 days or more that were included in the accompanying financial statements as accruing totaled $174,000 versus $2.8 million at December 31, 2004. Total impaired loans decreased by $2.4 million to $6.9 million at December 31, 2005 from $9.3 million at December 31, 2004. The decreases in nonperforming loans and impaired loans resulted primarily from the upgrade of a single commercial credit that was classified as impaired because, pursuant to the terms of the loan documentation, it had matured, although the parties were working to have it renewed. The renewal of the loan in question had been complicated as more than one bank was involved which resulted in it being past maturity. The renewal issues were resolved in the third quarter of 2005, the participant bank is no longer involved in the credit and the loan is current as to principal and interest. The $6.9 million in impaired loans are all in nonaccrual status. The Company allocated $2.9 million and $1.7 million of the allowance for loan losses to the impaired loans in 2005 and 2004. A loan is impaired when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.
The Company believes that the improvement in total nonperforming loans is a reflection of the continued focus on enforcement of a strong credit environment, an aggressive position on loan work-out situations and a general improvement in the regional economic conditions. The allowance for loan loss to total loans percentage was 1.07% in both 2004 and 2005. The Company does not believe that it has experienced any meaningful change in overall asset quality and that its overall expansion strategy has employed a credit risk management approach that promotes diversification and therefore creates a balanced portfolio with appropriate risk parameters. Furthermore, the Company requires that the overall asset quality position can be influenced by a small number of credits due to the focus on commercial lending activity.
Total deposits increased by $150.8 million, or 13.5%, to $1.266 billion at December 31, 2005 from $1.115 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from increases of $72.5 million in brokered deposits, $53.3 million in other certificates of deposit, $56.8 million in money market transaction accounts, $10.3 million in demand deposit accounts and $1.1 million in money market accounts. Offsetting these increases were declines of $36.1 million in Investors Money Market accounts and $7.1 million in savings accounts.
Total short-term borrowings increased by $25.9 million, or 14.0%, to $211.5 million at December 31, 2005 from $185.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from a $23.0 million increase in federal funds purchased and $3.0 million in securities sold under agreements to repurchase combined with decreases of $122,000 in U.S. Treasury demand notes.
44
The Company believes that a strong, appropriately managed capital position is critical to long-term earnings and expansion. Bank regulatory agencies exclude the market value adjustment created by SFAS No. 115 (AFS adjustment) from capital adequacy calculations. Excluding this adjustment from the calculation, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.8% and a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 10.8% as of December 31, 2005. These ratios met or exceeded the Federal Reserves well-capitalized minimums of 10.0% and 6.0%, respectively.
The ability to maintain and grow these ratios is a function of the balance between net income and a prudent dividend policy. Total stockholders equity increased by 11.6% to $113.3 million as of December 31, 2005 from $101.8 million as of December 31, 2004. The increase in 2005 resulted from net income of $18.0 million less the following factors:
|
cash dividends of $5.5 million, |
|
an unfavorable change in the AFS adjustment for the market valuation on securities held for sale of $2.6 million, net of tax, |
|
a positive minimum pension liability adjustment of $18,000, net of tax, | |||
|
$171,000 for the acquisition of treasury stock and |
| ||
|
$1.7 million related to stock option exercises. |
| ||
Total stockholders equity increased by 13.0% to $101.8 million as of December 31, 2004, from $90.0 million as of December 31, 2003. The increase in 2004 resulted from net income of $14.5 million less the following factors:
|
cash dividends of $4.9 million, |
|
an unfavorable change in the AFS adjustment for the market valuation on securities held for sale of $18,000, net of tax, |
|
a positive minimum pension liability adjustment of $33,000, net of tax, |
| |||
|
$165,000 for the acquisition of treasury stock, |
| |||
|
$2.1 million related to stock option exercises and stock compensation expense and |
| |||
|
$335,000 of treasury stock sold and distributed under the deferred directors plan. | ||||
The 2005 AFS adjustment reflected a 234 basis point increase in the two to five year U.S. Treasury rates during 2005. Due to the fact that the securities portfolio is primarily fixed rate, a negative equity adjustment would likely occur if interest rates increased. Management has factored this into the determination of the size of the AFS portfolio to assure that stockholders equity is adequate under various scenarios.
Other than those indicated in this managements discussion and in the risk factors set forth in this annual report, management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Companys liquidity, capital and results of operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations that, if implemented, would have such an effect.
Certain of the Companys accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that a loan will not be repaid.
45
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance are made for specific loans and for pools of similar types of loans, although the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged against the allowance. A provision for loan losses is taken based on managements ongoing evaluation of the appropriate allowance balance. A formal evaluation of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance is conducted at least monthly and more often if deemed necessary. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Companys control.
The level of loan loss provision is influenced by growth in the overall loan portfolio, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity, general economic conditions and historical loss analysis. In addition, management gives consideration to changes in the allocation for specific watch list credits in determining the appropriate level of the loan loss provision. Furthermore, managements overall view on credit quality is a factor in the determination of the provision.
The determination of the appropriate allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates. The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that generally includes consideration of the following factors: changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay. Consideration is not limited to these factors, although they represent the most commonly cited factors. With respect to specific allocation levels for individual credits, management generally considers the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and the valuation of collateral as the primary measures. Management also considers trends in adversely classified loans based upon an ongoing review of those credits. With respect to pools of similar loans, we generally use percentage allocations based upon historical analysis. We may also adjust these allocations for other factors cited above. An appropriate level of general allowance for pooled loans is determined after considering the following: application of historical loss percentages, emerging market risk, commercial loan focus and large credit concentration, new industry lending activity and general economic conditions. It is also possible that the following could affect the overall process: social, political, economic and terrorist events or activities. All of these factors are susceptible to significant change. As a result of this detailed process, the allowance results in two forms of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for loan losses deemed adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Commercial loans are subject to a dual standardized grading process administered by the credit administration and internal loan review functions. A credit grade is assigned to each commercial loan by both the commercial loan officer and the loan review department. These grade assignments are performed independent of each other and may or may not be the same grade. The loan review grade is the grade assigned in the Companys loan system for individual credits. The need for specific allocation of the loan loss reserve is considered for individual credits when graded special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. Other considerations with respect to specific allocations for individual credits include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) does the customers cash flow or net worth appear insufficient to repay the loan; (b) is there adequate collateral to repay the loan (c) has the loan been criticized in a regulatory examination; (d) is the loan on non-accrual; (e) are there other reasons where the ultimate collectibility of the loan is in question; or (f) are there unique loan characteristics require special monitoring. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that we believe indicates the loan is impaired.
Allocations are also applied to categories of loans not considered individually impaired but for which the rate of loss is expected to be consistent with or greater than historical averages. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. In addition, general allocations are made for other pools of loans, including non-classified loans. These general pooled loan allocations are performed for similar portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on a five-year historical average for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for economic factors and portfolio trends.
Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for loan losses, the Companys allowance for loan losses includes an unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses incorporates the Companys judgmental determination of inherent losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as economic uncertainties, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, broad portfolio quality trends and trends in the composition of the Companys large commercial loan portfolio and related large dollar exposures to individual borrowers.
46
Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are recognized and included with other assets for the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to type and interest rate. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.
To determine the fair value of MSRs, the Company uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. In using this valuation method, the Company incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income, late fees, and float income.
The most significant assumption used to value MSRs is prepayment rate. In general, during periods of declining interest rates, the value of MSRs decline due to increasing prepayment speeds attributable to increased mortgage refinancing activity. Prepayment rates are estimated based on published industry consensus prepayment rates. Prepayments will increase or decrease in correlation with market interest rates and actual prepayments generally differ from initial estimates. If actual prepayment rates are different than originally estimated, the Company may receive less mortgage servicing income, which could reduce the value of the MSRs. Other assumptions used in estimating the fair value of MSRs do not generally fluctuate to the same degree as prepayment rates, and therefore the fair value of MSRs is less sensitive to changes in these other assumptions.
On a monthly basis, the Company evaluates the possible impairment of MSRs based on the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value of MSRs. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment, the Company stratifies its portfolios on the basis of certain risk characteristics, including loan type and interest rate. If impairment exists, a valuation allowance is established for any excess of amortized cost over the current fair value, by risk stratification, through a charge to income. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular strata, a reduction of the valuation allowance may be recorded as an increase to income.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
FASB Statement 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment requires expensing of stock options effective for years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2006 and will begin expensing any unvested stock options at that time. The Company estimates the 2006 expense to be approximately $154,000. This amount does not take into account any additional grants that may be done during the year.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-1 The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments is effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2005. FSP FAS 115-1 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have any material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
No other new accounting standards have been issued that are not yet effective that are expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. The Company relies on a number of different sources in order to meet these potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts and cash flows from loan payments and the securities portfolio. Given current prepayment assumptions, the cash flow from the securities portfolio is expected to provide approximately $37.6 million of funding in 2006.
47
In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $210.0 million in Federal Funds lines with correspondent banks and may borrow up to $100.0 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The Company has its securities in the available for sale (AFS) portfolio. Therefore the Company may sell securities to meet funding demands. Management believes that the securities in the AFS portfolio are of high quality and would therefore be marketable. Approximately 82% of this portfolio is comprised of Federal agency securities or mortgage-backed securities directly or indirectly backed by the Federal government. In addition, the Company has historically sold mortgage loans on the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and to create an additional source of funding.
During 2005, cash and cash equivalents decreased $21.2 million from $103.9 million as of December 31, 2004 to $82.7 million as of December 31, 2005. The primary driver of this decrease was an increase in net loans of $199.1 million, which is net of approximately $43.9 million of loans originated and sold during 2005. Other uses of funds were purchases of securities of $68.4 million and payments on long-term borrowings of $10.0 million. Sources of funds were a net increase in deposits of $150.8 million, proceeds from maturities, calls and principal paydowns of securities of $51.0 million and proceeds from loan sales of $46.4 million. Other sources of funds were proceeds from short-term borrowings of $25.9 million and proceeds from the sale of securities of $6.3 million.
During 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased $46.4 million from $57.4 million as of December 31, 2003 to $103.9 million as of December 31, 2004. The primary driver of this increase was an increase in deposit balances of $189.0 million. Other sources of funds were proceeds from maturities, calls and principal paydowns of securities of $63.2 million and proceeds from loan sales of $60.2 million. The primary use of funds was a $133.0 million increase in net loans, which is net of approximately $59.3 million in loans originated and sold during 2004. Other uses of funds were purchases of securities of $72.0 million and payments on long-term borrowings of $20.0 million.
During 2003, cash and cash equivalents decreased $29.7 million from $87.1 million as of December 31, 2002 to $57.4 million as of December 31, 2003. The primary driver of this decrease was an increase in net loans of $51.7 million, which is net of approximately $143.2 million of loans originated and sold during 2003. A falling rate environment during the first half of the year contributed to an increase in demand for residential real estate mortgage loans. Other uses of funds were purchases of securities of $162.5 million and payments on long-term borrowings of $31.9 million. Sources of funds were proceeds from loan sales of $152.1 million and proceeds from maturities, calls and principal paydowns of securities of $132.4 million. Other sources of funds were proceeds from long-term borrowings of $40.9 million, proceeds from the sale of securities of $14.3 million and a net increase in deposits of $13.1 million.

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index (CPI) coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding affect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by the Company. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase the cost of funds. In other years, the reverse situation may occur.

ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Asset/Liability Management (ALCO) and Securities
Interest rate risk represents the Companys primary market risk exposure. The Company does not have material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, does not own any significant derivative financial instruments and does not maintain a trading portfolio. The Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the ALCO policy used to manage interest rate risk. This policy sets guidelines for balance sheet structure, which are designed to protect the Company from the impact that interest rate changes could have on net income, but does not necessarily indicate the effect on future net interest income. Given the Companys mix of interest bearing liabilities and interest bearing assets on December 31, 2005, the net interest margin could be expected to decline in a falling interest rate environment and conversely, to increase in a rising rate environment. During 2005 the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) increased the target fed funds rate eight times for a total increase of 2.00%. These actions resulted in an increase in the yield on earning assets from 5.00% for 2004 to 5.89% for 2005. The majority of the increase in the earning assets yield was in the loan portfolio which increased its yield for 2005 by .98% over the yield for 2004. These increases by the FOMC also impacted the rates paid on deposit accounts and purchased funds. The rate paid on interest bearing deposits and purchased funds increased from 1.65% for 2004 to 2.62% for 2005. The combined result of the increase in the yield on earning assets and the increase in the rates paid on deposits and purchased funds was an increase in the net margin from 3.63% for 2004 to 3.70% for 2005. Future changes in the net interest margin will be dependent upon multiple factors including further actions by the FOMC during 2006, competitive pressures in the various markets served, and changes in the structure of the balance sheet in response to customer demands for products and services.
The Company utilizes a computer program to stress test the balance sheet under a wide variety of interest rate scenarios. The model quantifies the income impact of changes in customer preference for products, basis risk between the assets and the liabilities that support them and the risk inherent in different yield curves, as well as other factors. The ALCO committee reviews these possible outcomes and makes loan, investment and deposit decisions that maintain reasonable balance sheet structure in light of potential interest rate movements. Although management does not consider GAP ratios in this planning, the information can be used in a general fashion to look at asset and liability mismatches. The Companys cumulative repricing GAP ratio as of December 31, 2005 for the next 12 months using a rates unchanged scenario was a negative 8.31% of earning assets.
The Companys investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, agencies, mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. During 2005, purchases in the securities portfolio consisted primarily of agency securities and municipal bonds. As of December 31, 2005, the Companys investment in mortgage-backed securities represented approximately 71% of total securities and consisted of CMOs and mortgage pools issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities are each guaranteed by their respective agencies as to principal and interest. All mortgage securities purchased by the Company are within risk tolerances for price, prepayment, extension and original life risk characteristics contained in the Companys investment policy. The Company uses Bloomberg analytics to evaluate and monitor all purchases. As of December 31, 2005, the securities in the AFS portfolio had approximately a three-year average life with approximately 10% price depreciation in the event of a 300 basis points upward movement. The portfolio had approximately 5% price appreciation in the event of a 300 basis point downward movement in rates. As of December 31, 2005, all mortgage securities were performing in a manner consistent with managements original expectations.
The following table provides information regarding the Companys financial instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the tables present principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities, as well as the Companys historical experience of the impact of interest-rate fluctuations on the prepayment of residential and home equity loans and mortgage-backed securities. Core deposits such as deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings and money market deposits that have no contractual maturity, are shown under Year 1, however historical experience indicates that some potion of the balances are retained over time. Weighted-average variable rates are based upon rates existing at the reporting date.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include Lakeland Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lake City Bank (the Bank), together referred to as (the Company). Also included in the consolidated financial statements is LCB Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lake City Bank, which is a Bermuda corporation that manages a portion of the Banks investment portfolio. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company provides financial services through its subsidiary, Lake City Bank, a full-service commercial bank with 43 branch offices in twelve counties in northern Indiana. The Company provides commercial, retail, trust and investment services to its customers. Commercial products include commercial loans and technology-driven solutions to commercial customers cash management needs such as internet business banking and on-line cash management services. Retail banking clients are provided a wide array of traditional retail banking services, including lending, deposit and investment services. Retail lending programs are focused on mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and traditional retail installment loans. The Company provides credit card services to retail and commercial customers through its retail card program and merchant processing activity. The Company also has an Honors Private Banking program that is positioned to serve the more financially sophisticated customer with a menu including brokerage and trust services, executive mortgage programs and access to financial planning seminars and programs. The Companys Prospero Program is dedicated to serving the expanding financial needs of the Latino community. The Company provides trust clients with traditional personal and corporate trust services. The Company also provides retail brokerage services, including an array of financial and investment products such as annuities and life insurance. Other financial instruments, which represent potential concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions.
Use of Estimates:
To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, the fair values of financial instruments and the fair value of loan servicing rights are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, demand deposits in other financial institutions and short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less. Cash flows are reported net for customer loan and deposit transactions.
Securities:
Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Trading securities are bought for sale in the near term and are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income. Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost in other assets. Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity.
Purchase premiums or discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities or over estimated lives for mortgage-backed securities. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold and recorded on the trade date. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, as more fully disclosed in Note 2.
The Company does not have any material derivative instruments, nor does the Company participate in any significant hedging activities.
56
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Real Estate Mortgages Held for Sale:
Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.
Loan sales occur on the delivery date agreed to in the commitment agreement. The gain or loss on the sale of loans is the difference between the carrying value of the loans sold and the funds received from the sale. The Company retains servicing on the majority of loans sold.
Loans:
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. All mortgage and commercial loans for which collateral is insufficient to cover all principal and accrued interest are reclassified as nonaccrual loans to the extent they are under collateralized, on or before the date when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. When a loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan, interest on the loan is no longer accrued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed and interest income is subsequently recorded only to the extent cash payments are received. Accrual status is resumed when all contractually due payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Consumer installment loans, except those loans that are secured by real estate, are not placed on a nonaccrual status since these loans are charged-off when they have been delinquent from 90 to 180 days, and when the related collateral, if any, is not sufficient to offset the indebtedness. Advances under Mastercard and Visa programs, as well as advances under all other consumer line of credit programs, are charged-off when collection appears doubtful.
Allowance for Loan Losses:
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, internal loan grade classifications, economic conditions and other factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision, as more information becomes available or as future events change. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged-off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful on the Companys watch list. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the original loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Mortgage and commercial loans, when they have been delinquent from 90 to 180 days, are reviewed to determine if a charge-off is necessary, if the related collateral, if any, is not sufficient to offset the indebtedness.
57
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments in Limited Partnerships:
Investments in limited partnerships represent the Companys investments in affordable housing projects for the primary purpose of available tax benefits. The Company is a limited partner in these investments and as such, the Company is not involved in the management or operation of such investments. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the partnerships earnings or losses in its income statement and adjusts the carrying amount of the investments on the balance sheet. These investments are evaluated for impairment when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The investment recorded at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $406,000 and $431,000 and is included with other assets in the balance sheet.
Foreclosed Assets:
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the balance of repossessed assets and real estate owned was $25,000 and $274,000 and are included with other assets on the balance sheet.
Land, Premises and Equipment:
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets. Premises assets have useful lives between 7 and 40 years. Equipment assets have useful lives between 3 and 10 years.
Loan Servicing Rights:
Loan servicing rights are recognized as assets for the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold. Loan servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to loan type, term and interest rates. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. Fair value is calculated on a loan by loan basis and is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions, specifically prepayment speeds and current interest rates.
Bank Owned Life Insurance:
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company owned $19.3 million and $16.8 million of life insurance policies on certain officers to replace group term life insurance for these individuals. At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company also owned $308,000 and $136,000 of variable life insurance on certain officers to fund a deferred compensation plan. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:
Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles arising from branch acquisitions and trust deposit relationships arising from a trust acquisition. Core deposit intangibles are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which is 12 years. Trust deposit relationships are initially measured at fair value and then amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which is 10 years.
58
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Repurchase Agreements:
Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.
Long-term Assets:
Premises and equipment, core deposit and other intangible assets and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Benefit Plans:
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan for all employees meeting age and service requirements. The Company contributions are based upon the percentage of budgeted net income earned during the year for 2005 and 2004 and upon the rate of return on stockholders equity as of January 1st for 2003. The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covered substantially all employees until the plan was frozen effective April 1, 2000. Funding of the plan equals or exceeds the minimum funding requirement determined by the actuary. Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Benefits are based on years of service and compensation levels. An employee deferred compensation plan is available to certain employees with returns based on investments in mutual funds. The Company maintains a directors deferred compensation plan. Effective January 1, 2003, the directors deferred compensation plan was amended to restrict the deferral to be in stock only and deferred directors fees are included in equity. Prior to amending the plan, deferred directors fees were included in other liabilities. The Company acquires shares on the open market and records such shares as treasury stock.
Stock Compensation:
Effective December 9, 1997, the Company adopted the Lakeland Financial Corporation 1997 Share Incentive Plan. At its inception there were 600,000 shares of common stock reserved for grants of stock options to employees of Lakeland Financial Corporation, its subsidiaries and Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2005, 58,315 were available for future grants. In accordance with SFAS No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation within the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and all subsequent amendments and clarifications. Under this method, no compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted at or above fair market value. Compensation cost is recognized for stock option modifications, if applicable. Had compensation expense for the plan been determined based upon fair value at the grant date in accordance with SFAS 123, net income and earnings per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.

Income Taxes:
Annual consolidated federal and state income tax returns are filed by the Company. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Income tax expense is recorded based on the amount of taxes due on its tax return plus net deferred taxes computed based upon the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments:
Financial instruments include credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The fair value of standby letters of credit is recorded as a liability during the commitment period in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45.
Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements. The common shares included in Treasury Stock for 2005 and 2004 reflect the acquisition of 38,712 and 34,571 shares, respectively of Lakeland Financial Corporation common stock that have been purchased under the directors deferred compensation plan described above. Because these shares are held in trust for the participants, they are treated as outstanding when computing the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share.
Comprehensive Income:
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale during the year and changes in the minimum pension liability, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.

Loss Contingencies:
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Restrictions on Cash:
The Company was required to have $18.9 million and $17.3 million of cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2005 and 2004. These balances do not earn interest.
Dividend Restriction:
Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Company or by the Company to its shareholders. These restrictions pose no practical limit on the ability of the Bank or Company to pay dividends at historical levels.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 18. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Industry Segments:
While the Companys chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, the identifiable segments operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Companys financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Adoption of New Accounting Standards:
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during 2005 that had a significant impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
.
Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:
FASB Statement 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment requires expensing of stock options effective for years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company plans to adopt this standard as of January 1, 2006 and will begin expensing any unvested stock options at that time. The Company estimates the 2006 expense to be approximately $154,000. This amount does not take into account any additional grants that may be done during the year.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-1 The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments is effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2005. FSP FAS 115-1 addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. This FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have any material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
No other new accounting standards have been issued that are not yet effective that are expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts appearing in the financial statements and notes thereto for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders equity as previously reported.

All of the following are considered to determine whether or not the impairment of these securities is other-than-temporary. All of the securities are backed by the U.S. Government, government agencies, government sponsored agencies or are A rated or better, in the case of non-local municipal securities. None of the securities have call provisions (with the exception of the municipal securities) and payments as originally agreed are being received. There are no concerns of credit losses and there is nothing to indicate that full principal will not be received. Management considers the unrealized losses to be market driven and no loss is expected to be realized unless the securities are sold. The Company does not have a history of actively trading securities, but keeps the securities available for sale should liquidity or other needs develop that would warrant the sale of securities. While these securities are held in the available for sale portfolio, the current intent and ability is to hold them until a recovery in fair value or maturity.

The Company is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The 2005 and 2004 impaired loan totals included $6.9 million and $6.7 million which were also included in the total for nonaccrual loans. Total impaired loans decreased by $2.4 million to $6.9 million at December 31, 2005 from $9.3 million at December 31, 2004. The decreases in loans delinquent 90 days or more and impaired loans resulted primarily from the upgrading of a single commercial credit that was classified as impaired because, pursuant to the terms of the loan documentation, it had matured, although the parties were working to have it renewed. The renewal of the loan in question had been complicated as more than one bank was involved which resulted in it being past maturity. The renewal issues were resolved in the third quarter of 2005, the participant bank is no longer involved in the credit and the loan is current as to principal and interest. The majority of the balance of nonperforming and impaired loans is a single commercial credit of $5.7 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The borrower filed chapter 11 bankruptcy late in the third quarter of 2004 and the plan for reorganization was approved late in the third quarter of 2005. Borrower collateral and the personal guarantees of its principals support this credit.

NOTE 11 SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
In September 1997, Lakeland Capital Trust completed a public offering of two million shares of cumulative trust preferred securities with a liquidation preference of $10 per security. The proceeds of the offering were loaned to the Company in exchange for subordinated debentures with terms similar to the preferred securities. On October 1, 2003, the subordinated debentures were redeemed and the preferred securities called. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $804,000 was recorded in connection with the call of the preferred securities.
Lakeland Statutory Trust II, a trust formed by the Company, issued $30.0 million of floating rate trust preferred securities on October 1, 2003 as part of a privately placed offering of such securities. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for the proceeds of the trust.

The Companys investment strategies are to invest in a prudent manner for the purpose of providing benefits to participants. The investment strategies are targeted to maximize the total return of the portfolio net of inflation, spending and expenses.

Certain asset types and investment strategies are prohibited including: commodities, options, futures, short sales, margin transactions and non-marketable securities. The target allocation is 60% equities and 40% debt securities although acceptable ranges are: 55-65% equities and 35-45% debt securities.

Other Employee Benefit Plans |
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan for all employees meeting age and service requirements. The Company contributions are based upon the percentage of budgeted net income earned during the year for 2005 and 2004 and upon the rate of return on stockholders equity as of January 1st for 2003. The expense recognized was $844,000, $731,000 and $732,000 in 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted the Lake City Bank Deferred Compensation Plan. The purpose of the deferred compensation plan is to extend full 401(k) type retirement benefits to certain individuals without regard to statutory limitations under tax qualified plans. The plan is funded solely by participant contributions and does not receive a company match.
Under employment agreements with certain executives, certain events leading to separation from the Company could result in cash payments totaling $2.5 million as of December 31, 2005. On December 31, 2005, no amounts were accrued on these contingent obligations.

NOTE 17 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the federal regulators categorized the Company and Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's or Banks category.

NOTE 17 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS (continued)
The Bank is required to obtain the approval of the Department of Financial Institutions for the payment of any dividend if the total amount of all dividends declared by the Bank during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, would exceed the sum of the retained net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous two years. Indiana law defines retained net income to mean the net income of a specified period, calculated under the consolidated report of income instructions, less the total amount of all dividends declared for the specified period. As of December 31, 2005, approximately $27.6 million was available to be paid as dividends to the Company by the Bank.
The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, the Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2005. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the FDIC may prohibit the payment of any dividends by the Bank if the FDIC determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following assumptions were used as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. The estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and Federal Home Loan Bank stock is considered to approximate cost. Real estate mortgages held for sale are based upon the actual contracted price for those loans sold but not yet delivered, or the current Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation price for normal delivery of mortgages with similar coupons and maturities at year-end. The estimated fair value of loans is based on estimates of the rate the Company would charge for similar loans at December 31, 2005 and 2004, applied for the time period until estimated repayment. The estimated fair value for demand and savings deposits is based on their carrying value. The estimated fair value for certificates of deposit and borrowings is based on estimates of the rate the Company would pay on such deposits or borrowings at December 31, 2005 and 2004, applied for the time period until maturity. The estimated fair value of variable rate short-term borrowed funds is considered to approximate carrying value. The estimated fair value of other financial instruments and off-balance sheet loan commitments approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.
76
NOTE 18 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that, were the Company to have disposed of such items at December 31, 2005 and 2004, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2005 and 2004 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.
NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the normal course of business, the Company becomes a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to make loans and open-ended revolving lines of credit. Amounts as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, were as follows:

Commitments, excluding open-ended revolving lines, generally have fixed expiration dates of one year or less. Open-ended revolving lines are monitored for proper performance and compliance on a monthly basis. Since many commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company follows the same credit policy (including requiring collateral, if deemed appropriate) to make such commitments as is followed for those loans that are recorded in its financial statements.
The Company's exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance is represented by the contractual amount of the commitments. Management does not expect any significant losses as a result of these commitments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Lakeland Financial Corporation
Warsaw, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lakeland Financial Corporation (Company) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lakeland Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Lakeland Financial Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 9, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

ITEM 9a. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a) An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING |
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm has issued their report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. That report follows under the heading, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
c) There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls during the previous fiscal quarter, ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Lakeland Financial Corporation
Warsaw, Indiana
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Lakeland Financial Corporation (the Company) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Lakeland Financial Corporations management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that Lakeland Financial Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Lakeland Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Lakeland Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and our report dated February 9, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
