Part I
------
Item 1. Business
- ----------------
General
- -------
Seacoast is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). Seacoast was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Florida on January 24, 1983, by the
management of its principal subsidiary, First National Bank and Trust
Company of the Treasure Coast (the "Bank") for the purpose of becoming a
holding company for the Bank. On December 30, 1983, Seacoast acquired all
of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Bank in exchange for
810,000 shares of its $.10 par value Class A common stock ("Class A Common
Stock") and 810,000 shares of its $.10 par value Class B common stock
("Class B Common Stock"). The Bank commenced operations in 1933 under the
name "Citizens Bank of Stuart" pursuant to a charter originally granted by
the State of Florida in 1926. The Bank converted to a national banking
association on August 29, 1958.
Through the Bank and its broker-dealer subsidiary, Seacoast offers a full
array of deposit accounts and retail banking services, engages in consumer
and commercial lending and provides a wide variety of trust and asset
management services, as well as securities and annuity products. Seacoast's
primary service area is the "Treasure Coast", which, as defined by
Seacoast, consists of the counties of Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River on
Florida's southeastern coast. The Bank operates banking offices in the
following cities: five in Stuart, two in Palm City, one in Jensen Beach,
two on Hutchinson Island, one in Hobe Sound, five in Vero Beach, two in
Sebastian, five in Port St. Lucie, and one in Ft. Pierce.
Most of the banking offices have one or more Automated Teller Machines
(ATMs) which provide customers with 24-hour access to their deposit
accounts. Seacoast is a member of the "Star System", the largest electronic
funds transfer organization in the United States, which permits banking
customers access to their accounts at over 115,000 locations throughout the
United States.
Customers can also use the Bank's "MoneyPhone" system to access information
on their loan or deposit account balances, to transfer funds between linked
accounts, to make loan payments, and to verify deposits or checks that may
have cleared. This service is accessible by phone 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
In addition, customers may access information via the Bank's Telephone
Banking Center ("TBC"). From 7 A.M. to 7 P.M., Monday through Friday,
servicing personnel in the TBC are available to open accounts, take
applications for certain types of loans, resolve account problems and offer
information on other bank products and services to existing and potential
customers. The Company also offers PC banking for personal computers.
Seacoast has three indirect subsidiaries. FNB Brokerage Services, Inc.
("FNB Brokerage") provides brokerage and annuity services. South Branch
Building, Inc. is a general partner in a partnership which constructed a
branch facility. Big O RV Resort, Inc. was formed to own and operate
certain properties acquired through foreclosure, but is currently inactive.
The operations of these subsidiaries contribute less than 10% of the
consolidated assets and revenues of Seacoast.
As a bank holding company, Seacoast is a legal entity separate and distinct
from its subsidiaries. Seacoast coordinates the financial resources of the
consolidated enterprise and maintains financial, operational and
administrative systems that allow centralized evaluation of subsidiary
operations and coordination of selected policies and activities. Seacoast's
operating revenues and net income are derived primarily from its
subsidiaries through dividends, fees for services performed and interest on
advances and loans. See "Supervision and Regulation".
As of December 31, 1999, Seacoast and its subsidiaries employed 347
full-time equivalent employees.
Expansion of Business
- ---------------------
Seacoast has expanded its products and services to meet the changing needs
of the various segments of its market and it expects to continue this
strategy. Prior to 1991, Seacoast had expanded geographically primarily
through the addition of branches, including the acquisition of a thrift
branch in St. Lucie County.
Seacoast has from time to time has acquired banks, bank branches and
deposits, and has opened new branches and facilities.
Florida law permits state-wide branching and Seacoast has expanded, and
anticipates future expansion in its markets, by opening additional offices
and facilities. New banking facilities were opened in November 1994 in St.
Lucie West, a new community west of Port St. Lucie, and in May 1996 in a
WalMart superstore in Sebastian in northern Indian River County. In January
1997, Seacoast opened a branch in Nettles Island, a predominately modular
home community on Hutchinson Island in southern St. Lucie County. In May,
June and July 1997, and in March 1998, four additional branch offices were
opened in Indian River County. See "Item 2. Properties".
Seacoast regularly evaluates possible acquisitions and other expansion
opportunities.
Competition
- -----------
Seacoast and its subsidiaries operate in the highly competitive markets of
Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties in southeastern Florida. The
Bank not only competes with other banks in its markets, but it also
competes with various other types of financial institutions for deposits,
certain commercial, fiduciary and investment services and various types of
loans and certain other financial services. The Bank also competes for
interest-bearing funds with a number of other financial intermediaries and
investment alternatives, including mutual funds, brokerage and insurance
firms, governmental and corporate bonds, and other securities.
Seacoast and its subsidiaries compete not only with financial institutions
based in the State of Florida, but also with a number of large out-of-state
and foreign banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions
which have an established market presence in the State of Florida, or which
offer products by mail, telephone or over the Internet. Many of Seacoast's
competitors are engaged in local, regional, national and international
operations and have greater assets, personnel and other resources than
Seacoast. Some of these competitors are subject to less regulation and/or
more favorable tax treatment than Seacoast.
Supervision and Regulation
- --------------------------
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under federal
and state law. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the particular statutory and regulatory provisions referred to below and is
not intended to be an exhaustive description of the status or regulations
applicable to the Company's and the Bank's business. Supervision,
regulation, and examination of the Company and the Bank and their
respective subsidiaries by the bank regulatory agencies are intended
primarily for the protection of depositors rather than holders of Company
capital stock. Any change in applicable law or regulation may have a
material effect on the Company's business.
Bank Holding Company Regulation
- -------------------------------
The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to supervision and
regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve") under the BHC Act. The Company is required to file with
the Federal Reserve periodic reports and such other information as the
Federal Reserve may request. The Federal Reserve examines the Company, and
may examine the Company's Subsidiaries.
The BHC Act requires prior Federal Reserve approval for, among other
things, the acquisition by a bank holding company of direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially
all the assets of any bank, or for a merger or consolidation of a bank
holding company with another bank holding company. With certain exceptions,
the BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring direct or
indirect ownership or control of voting shares of any company which is not
a bank or bank holding company and from engaging directly or indirectly in
any activity other than banking or managing or controlling banks or
performing services for its authorized subsidiaries. A bank holding
company, may, however, engage in or acquire an interest in a company that
engages in activities which the Federal Reserve has determined by
regulation or order to be so closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
In November 1999, Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act("GLB") which
made substantial revisions to the statutory restrictions separating banking
activities from certain other financial activities. Under GLB, bank holding
companies that are well-capitalized and well-managed and meet certain other
conditions can elect to become "financial holding companies". As such, they
and their subsidiaries are permitted to acquire or engage in previously
impermissible activities such as insurance underwriting, securities
underwriting and distribution, travel agency activities, board insurance
agency activities, merchant bank, and other activities that the Federal
Reserve determines to be financial in nature or complementary thereto.
Financial holding companies continue to be subject to the overall oversight
and supervision of the Federal Reserve, but GLB applies the concept of
functional regulation to the activities conducted by subsidiaries. For
example, insurance activities would be subject to supervision and
regulation by state insurance authorities. While the Company does not
currently intend to become a financial holding company in order to exercise
the boarder activity powers provided by GLB, it may elect to do so in the
future.
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and its
other subsidiaries. Various legal limitations restrict the Bank from
lending or otherwise supplying funds to the Company or its non-bank
subsidiaries. The Company and the Bank are subject to Section 23A of the
Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A defines "covered transactions", which
include extensions of credit, and limits a bank's covered transactions with
any affiliate to 10% of such bank's capital and surplus. All covered and
exempt transactions between a bank and its affiliates must be on terms and
conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and banks and
their subsidiaries are prohibited from purchasing low-quality assets from
the bank's affiliates. Finally, Section 23A requires that all of a bank's
extensions of credit to an affiliate be appropriately secured by acceptable
collateral, generally United States government or agency securities. The
Company and the Bank also are subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act, which generally limits covered and other transactions among affiliates
to terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are
substantially the same or at least as favorable to the bank or its
subsidiary as prevailing at the time for transactions with unaffiliated
companies.
The BHC Act, effective September 29, 1995, repealed the prior statutory
restrictions on interstate acquisitions of banks by bank holding companies,
such that Seacoast and any other bank holding company located in Florida
may now acquire a bank located in any other state, and any bank holding
company located outside Florida may lawfully acquire any bank based in
another state,regardless of state law to the contrary, in either case
subject to certain deposit-percentage, age of bank charter requirements,
and other restrictions. Federal law also permits national and
state-chartered banks to branch interstate through acquisitions of banks in
other states. Florida has an Interstate Branching Act (the "Florida
Branching Act"), which permits interstate branching. Under the Florida
Branching Act, with the prior approval of the Florida Department of Banking
and Finance, a Florida bank may establish, maintain and operate one or more
branches in a state other than the State of Florida pursuant to a merger
transaction in which the Florida bank is the resulting bank. In addition,
the Florida Branching Act provides that one or more Florida banks may enter
into a merger transaction with one or more out-of-state banks, and an
out-of-state bank resulting from such transaction may maintain and operate
the branches of the Florida bank that participated in such merger. An
out-of-state bank, however, is not permitted to acquire a Florida bank in a
merger transaction unless the Florida bank has been in existence and
continuously operated for more than three years.
Federal Reserve policy requires a bank holding company to act as a source
of financial strength and to take measures to preserve and protect bank
subsidiaries in situations where additional investments in a troubled bank
may not otherwise be warranted. In addition, under the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), where
a bank holding company has more than one bank or thrift subsidiary, each of
the bank holding company's subsidiary depository institutions are
responsible for any losses to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") as a result of an affiliated depository institution's failure. As
a result, a bank holding company may be required to loan money to its
subsidiaries in the form of capital notes or other instruments which
qualify as capital under regulatory rules. However, any loans from the
holding company to such subsidiary banks likely will be unsecured and
subordinated to such bank's depositors and perhaps to other creditors of
the bank.
Bank and Bank Subsidiary Regulation Generally
- ---------------------------------------------
The Bank is subject to supervision, regulation, and examination by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") which monitors all
areas of the operations of the Bank, including reserves, loans, mortgages,
issuances of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of branches,
capital adequacy, and compliance with laws. The Bank is a member of the
FDIC and, as such, its deposits are insured by the FDIC to the maximum
extent provided by law. See "FDIC Insurance Assessments".
Under present Florida law, the Bank may establish and operate branches
throughout the State of Florida, subject to the maintenance of adequate
capital and the receipt of OCC approval.
The OCC has adopted a series of revisions to its regulations, including
expanding the powers exercisable by operations subsidiaries. These changes
also modernize and streamline corporate governance, investment and
fiduciary powers.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's ("FFIEC") and the
OCC utilize the "Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System" ("UFIRS"),
effective January 1, 1997. UFIRS is an internal rating system to assess the
soundness of financial institutions on a uniform basis and for identifying
those institutions requiring special supervisory attention. Under prior
UFIRS, each financial institution was assigned a confidential composite
rating based on an evaluation and rating of five essential components of an
institution's financial condition and operations including Capital
adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to
market risk, as well as the quality of risk management practices. For most
institutions, the FFIEC has indicated that market risk primarily reflects
exposures to changes in interest rates. When regulators evaluate this
component, consideration is expected to be given to: management's ability
to identify, measure, monitor, and control market risk; the institution's
size; the nature and complexity of its activities and its risk profile, and
the adequacy of its capital and earnings in relation to its level of market
risk exposure. Market risk is rated based upon, but not limited to, an
assessment of the sensitivity of the financial institution's earnings or
the economic value of its capital to adverse changes in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices; management's
ability to identify, measure, monitor and control exposure to market risk;
and the nature and complexity of interest rate risk exposure arising from
nontrading positions.
GLB requires banks and their affiliated companies to adopt and disclose
privacy policies regarding the sharing of personal information they obtain
from their customers with third parties. GLB also permits banks to engage
in "financial activities" through subsidiaries similar to that permitted
financial holding companies. See the discussion regarding GLB in "Bank
Holding Company Regulation" above.
FNB Brokerage, a Bank subsidiary, is registered as a securities
broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and is regulated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., it also is subject to examination and supervision
of its operations, personnel and accounts by NASD Regulation, Inc., a NASD
subsidiary. FNB Brokerage is a separate and distinct entity from the Bank,
and must maintain adequate capital under the SEC's net capital rule, Rule
15c3-1 under the Exchange Act. The net capital rule limits FNB Brokerage's
ability to reduce capital by payment of dividends or other distributions to
the Bank. FNB Brokerage is also authorized by the State of Florida to act
as a securities dealer and investment advisor pursuant to Chapter 517 of
the Florida Statutes.
Community Reinvestment Act
- --------------------------
The Company and the Bank are subject to the provisions of the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA") and the federal banking
agencies' regulations thereunder. Under the CRA, all banks and thrifts have
a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with their safe and
sound operation to help meet the credit needs for their entire communities,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA requires a
depository institution's primary federal regulator, in connection with its
examination of the institution, to assess the institution's record of
assessing and meeting the credit needs of the community served by that
institution, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The
regulatory agency's assessment of the institution's record is made
available to the public. Further, such assessment is required of any
institution which has applied to: (i) charter a national bank; (ii) obtain
deposit insurance coverage for a newly-chartered institution; (iii)
establish a new branch office that accepts deposits; (iv) relocate an
office; (v) merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets or assume the
liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution, or (vi) expand
other activities, including engaging in financial services activities
authorized by GLB. In the case of a bank holding company applying for
approval to acquire a bank or other bank holding company or to become a
"financial holding company", the Federal Reserve will assess the records of
each subsidiary depository institution of the applicant bank holding
company, and such records may be the basis for denying the application. A
less than satisfactory CRA rating will slow, if not preclude, expansion of
banking activities and prevent a company from becoming a financial holding
company.
The recently enacted GLB makes various changes to the CRA. Among other
changes, CRA agreements with private parties must be disclosed and annual
CRA reports must be made to a bank's primary federal regulator. A bank
holding company will not be permitted to become a financial holding company
and no new activities authorized under GLB may be commenced by a holding
company or by a bank financial subsidiary if any of its bank subsidiaries
received less than a "satisfactory" CRA rating in its latest CRA
examination.
The Bank is also subject to, among other things, the provisions of the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (the "ECOA") and the Fair Housing Act (the
"FHA"), both of which prohibit discrimination based on race or color,
religion, national origin, sex, and familial status in any aspect of a
consumer or commercial credit or residential real estate transaction. In
1994, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of
Justice (the "DOJ"), and the federal banking agencies issued an Interagency
Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending in order to provide guidance
to financial institutions in determining whether discrimination exists, how
the agencies will respond to lending discrimination, and what steps lenders
might take to prevent discriminatory lending practices. The DOJ has also
increased its efforts to prosecute what it regards as violations of the
ECOA and FHA.
<PAGE>
Payment of Dividends
- --------------------
The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and
other subsidiaries. The prior approval of the OCC is required if the total
of all dividends declared by a national bank (such as the Bank) in any
calendar year will exceed the sum of such bank's net profits for the year
and its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years, less any
required transfers to surplus. Federal law also prohibits any national bank
from paying dividends that would be greater than such bank's undivided
profits after deducting statutory bad debts in excess of such bank's
allowance for possible loan losses.
In addition, the Company and the Bank are subject to various general
regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends,
including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory
minimums. The appropriate federal regulatory authority is authorized to
determine under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition
of a national or state member bank or a bank holding company that the
payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit
payment thereof. The OCC and the Federal Reserve have indicated that paying
dividends that deplete a national or state member bank's capital base to an
inadequate level would be an unsound and unsafe banking practice. The OCC
and the Federal Reserve have each indicated that financial depository
institutions should generally pay dividends only out of current operating
earnings.
Capital
- -------
The Federal Reserve and the OCC have risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies and national banks, respectively. These guidelines
require a minimum ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets (including
certain off-balance- sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit)
of 8%. At least half of the total capital must consist of common equity,
retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying preferred stock, less
goodwill and certain core deposit intangibles ("Tier 1 capital"). The
remainder may consist of non-qualifying preferred stock, qualifying
subordinated, perpetual, and/or mandatory convertible debt, term
subordinated debt and intermediate term preferred stock and up to 45% of
pretax unrealized holding gains on available for sale equity securities
with readily determinable market values that are prudently valued, and a
limited amount of any loan loss allowance ("Tier 2 capital" and, together
with Tier 1 capital, "Total Capital").
In addition, the Federal Reserve and the OCC have established minimum
leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies and national banks,
which provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted
average quarterly assets ("leverage ratio") equal to 3%, plus an additional
cushion of 1.0% to 2.0%, if the institution has less than the highest
regulatory rating. The guidelines also provide that institutions
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to
maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum
supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Higher capital may be required in individual cases, and depending upon a
bank holding company's risk profile. All bank holding companies and banks
are expected to hold capital commensurate with the level and nature of
their risks, including the volume and severity of their problem loans.
Lastly, the Federal Reserve's guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve
will continue to consider a "tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio" (deducting all
intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activity. The
Federal Reserve and OCC have not advised the Company or the Bank of any
specific minimum leverage ratio or tangible Tier 1 leverage ratio
applicable to them.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), among other things, requires the federal banking agencies to
take "prompt corrective action" regarding depository institutions that do
not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital
tiers: "well capitalized", "adequately capitalized", "undercapitalized",
"significantly undercapitalized", and "critically undercapitalized". A
depository institution's capital tier will depend upon how its capital
levels compare to various relevant capital measures and certain other
factors, as established by regulation.
All of the federal banking agencies have adopted regulations establishing
relevant capital measures and relevant capital levels. The relevant capital
measures are the Total Capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, and the
leverage ratio. Under the regulations, a national bank will be (i) well
capitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1
capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%, and is
not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt
corrective action directive by a federal bank regulatory agency to meet and
maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure, (ii) adequately
capitalized if it has a Total Capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1
capital ratio of 4% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater (3%
in certain circumstances), (iii) undercapitalized if it has a Total Capital
ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 4% (3% in
certain circumstances), (iv) significantly undercapitalized if it has a
total capital ratio of less than 6% or a Tier I capital ratio of less than
3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%, or (v) critically undercapitalized
if its tangible equity is equal to or less than 2% of average quarterly
tangible assets.
As of December 31, 1999, the consolidated capital ratios of the Company and
the Bank were as follows:
Regulatory
Minimum Company Bank
Tier 1 capital ratio 4.0% 11.3% 10.8%
Total capital ratio 8.0% 12.2% 11.8%
Leverage ratio 3.0-5.0% 7.3% 7.0%
FDICIA
- ------
FDICIA directs that each federal banking regulatory agency prescribe
standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding
companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets
to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio
of market value to book value for publicly traded shares, and such other
standards as the federal regulatory agencies deem appropriate.
FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee
to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be
undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to
growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan
for approval. For a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the
depository institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the
institution comply with such capital restoration plan. The aggregate
liability of the parent holding company is limited to the lesser of 5% of
the depository institution's total assets at the time it became
undercapitalized and the amount necessary to bring the institution into
compliance with applicable capital standards. If a depository institution
fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly
undercapitalized. If the controlling holding company fails to fulfill its
obligations under FDICIA and files (or has filed against it) a petition
under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the claim would be entitled to a
priority in such bankruptcy proceeding over third party creditors of the
bank holding company. Significantly undercapitalized depository
institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions,
including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately
capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets, and cessation of receipt
of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized
institutions are subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
Because the Company and the Bank exceed applicable capital requirements,
the respective managements of the Company and the Bank do not believe that
the provisions of FDICIA have had any material impact on the Company and
the Bank or their respective operations.
FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that may affect the
operations of the Company and the Bank, including reporting requirements,
regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings"
provisions, the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days
prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any
branch, and a prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits
by depository institutions that are not well capitalized or are adequately
capitalized and have not received a waiver from the FDIC. The Bank is well
capitalized, and brokered deposits are not restricted.
Enforcement Policies and Actions
- --------------------------------
The Federal Reserve and the OCC monitor compliance with laws and
regulations. Violations of laws and regulations, or other unsafe and
unsound practices, may result in these agencies imposing fines or
penalties, cease and desist orders, or taking other enforcement actions.
Under certain circumstances, these agencies may enforce these remedies
directly against officers, directors, employees and others participating in
the affairs of a bank or bank holding company.
Fiscal and Monetary Policy
- --------------------------
Banking is a business which depends on interest rate differentials. In
general, the difference between the interest paid by a bank on its deposits
and its other borrowings, and the interest received by a bank on its loans
and securities holdings, constitutes the major portion of a bank's
earnings. Thus, the earnings and growth of Seacoast and the Bank are
subject to the influence of economic conditions generally, both domestic
and foreign, and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of the United
States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal
Reserve regulates the supply of money through various means, including open
market dealings in United States government securities, the discount rate
at which banks may borrow from the Federal Reserve, and the reserve
requirements on deposits. The nature and timing of any changes in such
policies and their effect on Seacoast and its subsidiaries cannot be
predicted.

FDIC Insurance Assessments
- --------------------------
The Bank is subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank's
deposits are primarily insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").
The Bank is also a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") to the extent that the Bank holds deposits acquired in 1991 from
the RTC. The FDIC assesses deposits under a risk-based premium schedule.
Each financial institution is assigned to one of three capital groups,
"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized," and
further assigned to one of three subgroups within a capital group, on the
basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary federal and,
if applicable, state regulators and other information relevant to the
institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the applicable
insurance fund. The actual assessment rate applicable to a particular
institution, therefore, depends in part upon the risk assessment
classification so assigned to the institution by the FDIC. During the years
ended December 31, 1999, and 1998, the Bank paid no deposit premiums,
except for the Financing Corporation ("FICO") assessments of $146,000 and
$135,000, respectively.
The FDIC's Board of Directors has continued the 1999 BIF and SAIF
assessment schedule of zero to 27 basis points per annum for the first
semiannual period of 2000. The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the
"Funds Act") authorized FICO to levy assessments through the earlier of
December 31, 1999 or the merger of BIF and SAIF, on BIF-assessable deposits
at a rate equal to one-fifth of the FICO assessment rate applied to SAIF
deposits. As of January 1, 2000, the FICO assessment rate is equivalent for
BIF and SAIF - assessable deposits. The FICO assessments are set quarterly
and ranged from 1.22 and 6.10 basis points for BIF and SAIF, respectively,
in the first quarter of 1999, to 1.184 and 5.92 basis points in the last
quarter of 1999. The assessment rate is 2.12 basis points for BIF and SAIF,
in the first quarter of 2000.
Legislative and Regulatory Changes
- ----------------------------------
The newly enacted GLB requires banks and their affiliated companies to
adopt and disclose policies regarding the sharing of personal information
they obtain from their customers with third parties. The GLB also permits
banks to engage in "financial activities" through subsidiaries similar to
that permitted financial holding companies. See the discussion regarding
GLB in "Bank Holding Company Regulation" above.
Other legislative and regulatory proposals regarding changes in banking,
and the regulation of banks, thrifts and other financial institutions and
bank and bank holding company powers are being considered by the executive
branch of the Federal government, Congress and various state governments,
including Florida. Among other items under consideration is the possible
combination of the BIF and SAIF. The FDIC is considering possibly adding
risk measures in determining deposit insurance assessments. Certain of
these proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of
banks and the financial services industry. It cannot be predicted whether
any of these proposals will be adopted, and, if adopted, how these
proposals will affect the Company and the Bank. In a case presented to the
United States Supreme Court in 1996, the Court permitted bank affiliates to
conduct insurance agency activities in the State of Florida.
New Accounting Pronoucements
- ----------------------------
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Number 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities (SFAS
133). The Company is required to adopt this statement in the future.
Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements or related
disclosures.
The Year 2000 Issue
- -------------------
The Company had recognized the scope and potential problems that required a
comprehensive Year 2000 compliance program. The Company had adopted a plan
of action and over a period of three years implemented the plan to assure
minimal disruptions to its various activities and operations that could be
experienced as a result of the century date rollover. Due to this high
level of preparedness, the Company experienced no disruptions at December
31, 1999.
There remains six dates which have been identified as potentially causing
system problems. The Company tested the dates during the testing phase of
its Year 2000 plan and anticipates no problems relating to the dates.
The Year 2000 issue is the result of potential problems with computer
systems or any equipment with computer chips that use dates that have been
sorted as two digits rather than four (e.g., "99" for 1999). On January 1,
2000, any clock or date recording the year may have recognized a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in
system failures or miscalculations causing disruption of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices or perform similar tasks.
The Company budgeted expenses of approximately $750,000 to modify its
information system to accurately process information for the year 2000 and
beyond. A significant portion of the cost constituted a reallocation of
existing internal systems technology resources and, accordingly, was funded
from normal operations. No significant future costs for this project are
anticipated.

well as a parking lot and landscaping.
East Ocean Boulevard, opened at its original location in 1978, was a 2,400
square foot building leased by the Bank. The acquisition of American Bank
provided an opportunity for the Bank to move to a new location in April
1995. It is still located on the main thoroughfare between downtown Stuart
and Hutchinson Island's beach-front residential developments. The first
three floors of a four story office condominium were acquired in the
acquisition. The 2,300 square foot branch area on the first floor has been
remodeled and operates as a full service branch including five drive-in
lanes and a drive-up ATM. The remaining 2,300 square feet on the ground
floor was sold in June 1996, the third floor was sold in December 1995, and

50,000 square foot shopping center located in Port St. Lucie. The Bank has
leased the premises under a long term lease agreement and has made
improvements to the premises, including the addition of three drive-in
lanes and a walk-up ATM, all of which are owned by the Bank. A second

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
The Company and its subsidiaries, because of the nature of their business, are
at times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed, in the normal
course of their business. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with
respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management,
after consultation with legal counsel, those claims and lawsuits, when
resolved, should not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
results of operation or financial condition of Seacoast and its subsidiaries.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders

Item 5. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters
- ----------------------------
The Class A Common Stock is traded in the over the counter market and quoted
on the Nasdaq National Market ("Nasdaq Stock Market"). There is no established
public trading market for the Class B Common Stock of Seacoast. As of February
11, 2000, there were approximately 1,046 record holders of the Class A Common
Stock and 72 record holders of the Class B Common Stock.
Seacoast Class A Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted
on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "SBCFA". The following table sets
forth the high, low and last sale prices per share of Seacoast Class A Stock
on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the dividends paid per share of Seacoast Class

<PAGE>
Seacoast's Articles of Incorporation prohibit the declaration or payment of
cash dividends on Class B Common Stock unless cash dividends are declared or
paid on Class A Common Stock in an amount equal to at least 110% of any cash
dividend on Class B Common Stock. Dividends on Class A Common Stock payable in
shares of Class A Common Stock shall be paid to holders of Class A Common and
Class B Common Stock at the same time and on the same basis.
In 1997, cash dividends of $.82 per share of Class A Common Stock and $.74 per
share of Class B Common Stock were paid. In 1998, cash dividends of $.90 per
share of Class A Common Stock and $.818 per share of Class B Common Stock were
paid. In 1999, cash dividends of $.98 per share of Class A Common Stock and
$.89 of Class B Common Stock were paid.
Dividends from the Bank are Seacoast's primary source of funds to pay
dividends on Seacoast capital stock. Under the National Bank Act, the Bank may
in any calendar year, without the approval of the OCC, pay dividends to the
extent of net profits for that year, plus retained net profits for the
preceding two years (less any required transfers to surplus). The need to
maintain adequate capital in the Bank also limits dividends that may be paid
to Seacoast. Information regarding a restriction on the ability of the Bank to
pay dividends to Seacoast is contained in Note B of the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" contained in Item 8 hereof. See "Supervision and
Regulation" contained in Item 1 of this document.
The OCC and Federal Reserve have the general authority to limit the dividends
paid by insured banks and bank holding companies, respectively, if such
payment may be deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. If, in the
particular circumstances, the OCC determines that the payment of dividends
would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice, the OCC may, among
other things, issue a cease and desist order prohibiting the payment of
dividends. This rule is not expected to adversely affect the Bank's ability to
pay dividends to Seacoast. See "Supervision and Regulation" contained in Item
1 of this document.
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible by its holder into one share
of Class A Common Stock at any time prior to a vote of shareholders
authorizing a liquidation of Seacoast.

Operations, under the caption "Financial Review - 1999 Management's Discussion
and Analysis", on pages 16 through 28 of the 1999 Annual Report is
incorporated herein by reference. See Exhibit 13.
Item 7A. Market Risk
- ---------------------
Market risk is inherent to all industries and all financial institutions'
assets and liabilities are affected by market risks. The Company considers
credit to be the most significant; however, interest rate risk is a close
second. There are eight risks that must be considered in managing the Company.
These risks are listed in order of the perceived level of risk imposed upon
the Company. The Company does not conduct foreign exchange transactions which
would expose the Company to foreign exchange risk or trading activities which
would produce price risk. Therefore, these risks are not addressed in this
assessment. The Company has identified certain critical risks to the Bank.
Credit Risks
------------
Credit risk is the risk to the Company's earnings or capital from the
potential of an obligator or related group of obligators failing to fulfill
its or their contractual commitments to the Bank. Credit risk is most closely
associated with a bank's lending. It encompasses the potential of loss on a
particular loan as well as the potential for loss from a group of related
loans, i.e., a credit concentration. Credit risk extends also to less
traditional bank activities. It includes the credit behind the Bank's
investment portfolio, the credit of counterparties to interest rate contracts,
and the credit of securities brokers holding the Bank's investment portfolio
in street name.
Interest Rate Risk
------------------
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or market value of portfolio equity
(capital) from the potential movement in interest rates. The Company uses
model simulations to estimate and manage its interest rate sensitivity. The
Company has determined that an acceptable level of interest rate risk would be
for net interest income to fluctuate no more than 6 percent, given a change in
interest rates (up or down) of 200 basis points. Based on the Company's most
recent ALCO model simulations, net interest income would decline 2.7 percent
if interest rates would immediately rise 200 basis points. The
<PAGE>
Company is willing to accept a change in the estimated market value of
portfolio equity of 5%, given a 200 basis point increase in interest rates. At
December 31, 1999, the Company's most recent estimates indicate compliance
with this objective. However, these calculations incorporate the use of many
assumptions (which the Company believe to be reasonable) to estimate the fair
values of its assets and liabilities. In addition, seasonal increases and
decreases in the volume of the various financial instruments can and do effect
these calculations. Therefore, the Company monitors these calculations on a
quarterly basis and more frequently during periods of interest rate
volatility.
Liquidity Risk
--------------
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital from the Company's inability
to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable
losses or costs such as when depositors withdraw their deposits and the Bank
does not have the liquid assets to fund the withdrawals and to meet its loan
funding obligations. The risk is particularly great with brokered deposits, of
which the Company currently has none.
Transaction Risk
----------------
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems with
service or product delivery. Transaction risk is the risk of failure in a
bank's operating processes. It is a risk of failure in a bank's automation,
its employee integrity, or its internal controls.
Compliance Risk
---------------
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital from noncompliance with
laws, rules and regulations.
Strategic Risk
--------------
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse
business decisions or improper implementation of those decisions.
Reputation Risk
---------------
Reputation risk is the risk to earnings or capital from negative public
opinion.
Most of these risk are interrelated and thus all must be considered by
management regardless of the implied risk. Management reviews performance
against these ranges on a quarterly basis.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
1999 Management's Discussion and Analysis
Net income for 1999 totaled $11,784,000 or $2.40 per share diluted, compared
with $9,563,000 or $1.84 per share diluted in 1998 and $7,432,000 or $1.42 per
share diluted in 1997. Return on average assets was 1.11 percent and return on
average shareholders' equity was 14.64 percent for 1999, compared to the prior
year's results of 0.98 percent and 11.64 percent, respectively, and 1997's
results of 0.83 percent and 9.17 percent, respectively.
Earnings in 1998 were impacted by net non-recurring gains of $330,000 ($209,000
after tax). This includes a gain of $616,000 on the sale of the Company's credit
card portfolio and a charge of $286,000 taken to cancel a contract for
processing of the Company's trust business.
Earnings in 1997 were impacted by a special charge for a planned replacement of
the Company's mainframe hardware and software of $1,079,000 ($682,000 after tax)
and merger related expenses of $1,542,000 ($975,000 after tax). The merger
related expenses were a result of the Company acquiring Port St. Lucie National
Bank Holding Corp.(PSHC) and its subsidiary, Port St. Lucie National Bank (PSNB)
on May 30, 1997. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and
all prior period amounts have been restated assuming the companies had been
combined since inception. PSHC shareholders received 900,000 shares of the
Company for all of their issued and outstanding common stock, warrants and
options. Acquired deposits totaled $116.0 million and loans totaled $93.7
million.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities in 1999 declined 19 basis points to
3.63 percent. While the cost for savings account balances increased 23 basis
points (a direct result of the Company successfully increasing balances with its
Grand Savings product that offers a higher interest rate for larger deposit
balances), rates paid for NOW accounts, money market accounts, and certificates
of deposits declined. The Company extended the average maturity of its time
certificate of deposit funding by offering longer terms in early 1999 and locked
in attractive rates before the Fed began increasing interest rates.
The yield on earning assets in 1999 declined 22 basis points year over year to
7.38 percent. Decreases in the yield on loans of 32 basis points, the yield on
securities of 12 basis points and the yield on federal funds sold of 48 basis
points were partially offset by a changing earning asset mix, with a $73,593,000
increase in average loans, accounting for nearly all of the $79,605,000 increase
in earning assets. The yield on loans was affected by the full year impact of
the sale of the credit card portfolio in July 1998 and the significant refinance
activity that occurred in 1998.
Average investment securities grew $14,790,000 or 6.3 percent, while average
federal funds sold decreased $8,778,000 or 53.1 percent. The growth in loans and
an increase in lower cost interest bearing liabilities mitigated the decline in
the margin. Loans (the highest yielding component of earning assets) as a
percentage of average earning assets increased to 74.1 percent in 1999, versus
72.6 percent a year ago. Average certificates of deposit (the highest cost
component of interest bearing deposits) as a percentage of interest bearing
liabilities decreased to 47.4 percent in 1999, compared to 50.8 percent in 1998.
Lower cost interest bearing core deposits (NOW, savings and money market
deposits) grew $35,081,000 or 10.2 percent to $378,434,000. Also favorably
affecting the mix of deposits was an increase in average noninterest bearing
demand deposits of $18,562,000 or 15.7 percent.
Net interest income (on a fully tax equivalent basis) for 1998 increased
$2,142,000 or 5.6 percent compared to a year earlier. In 1998, the net interest
margin decreased to 4.40 percent from 4.60 percent for 1997.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities in 1998 remained level year over year
at 3.82 percent. While the cost for NOW account balances increased 27 basis
points (a direct result of the Company successfully increasing balances with its
Money Manager product which consolidates customer NOW account and brokerage
activities and offers a higher interest rate), rates paid for savings, money
market accounts, certificates of deposits and short term borrowings (principally
sweep repurchase agreements with customers of the Company's subsidiary bank)
declined and were offsetting. In the third quarter, the Company obtained
borrowings totaling $24,970,000 with a duration of 2.7 years from the Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ) at a weighted
average rate of 5.75 percent. The funds were used to acquire investments with
comparable duration to the funding at a 110 basis point spread.

The yield on earning assets in 1998 declined 18 basis points year over year to
7.60 percent. Decreases in the yield on loans of 27 basis points, the yield on
securities of 7 basis points and the yield on federal funds sold of 12 basis
points were partially offset by a changing earning asset mix, with a $73.6
million increase in average loans. The yield on loans was affected by the sale
of the $7.1 million credit card portfolio in July 1998 which had yielded 12
percent and lower interest rates which caused many businesses and homeowners to
refinance their existing mortgages to lower rates during 1998.
Average earning assets during 1998 were $86,214,000 or 10.3 percent higher when
compared to prior year. Average loan balances grew $73,533,000 or 12.3 percent
and average investment securities grew $24,226,000 or 11.4 percent, while
average federal funds sold decreased $11,545,000 or 41.1 percent. The growth in
loans and an increase in lower cost interest bearing liabilities mitigated the
decline in the margin. Loans (the highest yielding component of earning assets)
as a percentage of average earning assets increased to 72.6 percent in 1998,
versus 71.3 percent a year ago. Average certificates of deposit (the highest
cost component of interest bearing deposits) as a percentage of interest bearing
liabilities decreased to 50.8 percent in 1998, compared to 51.5 percent in 1997.
Lower cost interest bearing core deposits (NOW, savings and money market
deposits) grew $26,473,000 or 8.4 percent to $343,353,000. Also favorably
affecting the mix of deposits was an increase in average noninterest bearing
demand deposits of $8,792,000 or 8.0 percent to $118,180,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Improved credit quality in 1999 resulted in lower provisioning in spite of
average loans increasing $73.6 million. Loan losses declined to $133,000 or 0.02
percent of average total loans from $730,000 or 0.11 percent of total loans in
1998. Strong loan growth in 1998 resulted in higher provisioning, but was also
mitigated by lower net charge offs (0.11 percent in 1998 versus 0.20 percent in
1997). The provision for loan losses in 1997 was $913,000, versus $1,710,000 in
1998. The sale of the credit card portfolio in 1998 reduced the Company's
exposure to losses from consumer bankruptcies and was partly responsible for the
lower net charge offs.
Management determines the provision for loan losses which is charged to
operations by constantly analyzing and monitoring delinquencies, nonperforming
loans and the level of outstanding balances for each loan category, as well as
the amount of net charge offs, and by estimating losses inherent in its
portfolio. While the Company's policies and procedures used to estimate the
monthly provision for loan losses charged to operations are considered adequate
by management and are reviewed from time to time by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, there exist factors beyond the control of the
Company, such as general economic conditions both locally and nationally, which
make management's judgment as to the adequacy of the provision necessarily
approximate and imprecise. Increased loan balances are forecast for 2000, and it
is generally believed that growth in the economy may slow. The Company's current
assessment of its credit quality would lead to comparable provisioning in 2000.
See "Nonperforming Assets" and "Allowance for Loan Losses."
NONINTEREST INCOME
Table 6 shows noninterest income for the years indicated.
Noninterest income, excluding gains from sales of securities, totaled
$12,148,000 in 1999, an increase of $373,000 or 3.2 percent from 1998. Included
in noninterest income for 1998 was a non-recurring gain of $616,000 from the
sale of the Company's $7.1 million credit card portfolio. Without this gain,
noninterest income increased $989,000 or 8.9 percent year over year.
During 1999, service charges on deposit accounts increased $517,000 or 11.9
percent, while other service charges and fees declined $202,000, primarily as a
result of the loss of fees earned on the sold credit card portfolio. Income from
brokerage services increased $224,000 or 10.6 percent and trust income increased
$345,000 or 16.1 percent. The increased service charges resulted from growth in
accounts for which fees are assessed and an increase in minimum balances
required in order to avoid monthly service charges. Trust income increased due
to higher fee schedules implemented in 1999 and increased fees from new trust
management accounts.
Noninterest income, excluding gains from sales of securities, totaled
$11,775,000 in 1998, an increase of $879,000 or 8.1 percent to the prior year.
Included in noninterest income for 1998 was a non-recurring gain of $616,000
from the sale of the Company's $7.1 million credit card portfolio. Excluding
this gain, noninterest income increased 2.4 percent year over year.
<PAGE>
During 1998, service charges on deposit accounts increased $177,000 or 4.2
percent. Income from brokerage services increased $252,000 or 13.6 percent and
trust income declined $62,000 or 2.8 percent. Trust income was lower due to
reduced fees from estate accounts, partially offset by increased fees from new
trust management accounts.
Residential real estate lending is an important segment of the Company's lending
activities, and exposure to market interest rate volatility is managed at times
by the sale of fixed rate loans in the secondary market. Consumer interest in
fixed rate mortgages was very strong in 1998. In 1999, 1998 and 1997, additional
income of $29,000, $67,000 and $202,000, respectively, from the sale of loans
was recorded in other income. The decline from 1998 to 1999 resulted from the
lower volume of mortgages produced due to higher interest rates in the last six
months of 1999.
Proceeds from sales of securities were utilized to fund lending demand and
manage seasonal funding declines. Declining interest rates in 1998 generated
larger gains on sales of securitized fixed rate residential loans originated by
the Company's subsidiary bank.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Table 7 shows the Company's noninterest expenses for the years indicated.
In late 1998, the Company began a project to reduce costs. The aggressive
expansion over the prior two years, increased business and a data processing
conversion made it prudent to review all of the Company's systems and processes.
Core operating expenses had increased $1,631,000 or 4.8 percent in 1998 as a
result. The improvement in efficiencies resulted in only a modest growth of
$262,000 or 0.7% in noninterest expenses in 1999. Salary expenses declined 1.2%,
but the decrease was much larger, as the Company exceeded certain profit
performance measures which necessitated the payment of salary incentives. In
addition, employee benefits were $679,000 or 21.8 percent higher, reflecting
increased profit sharing benefits. The Company expects to continue to benefit
from the lower operating overhead in future years and continue the process of
realigning its systems and procedures to further improve operating efficiencies.
Outsourced data processing expenses increased in 1999 by 28.3 percent as a
result of the full-year impact of the complete outsourcing of the Company's main
data processing systems in September 1998. Some of the decline in salaries in
1999 occurred due to the elimination of the in-house data processing department
as a result of this decision.
Legal and professional fees increased $543,000 or 52.8 percent and were related
to outside consulting services for overhead improvements.
In 1998, salaries and wages increased $843,000 or 6.4 percent and employee
benefits grew $174,000 or 5.9 percent. These increases are directly related to
the expansion in Indian River which began in 1997 with the addition of three new
offices and concluded with the opening of the Company's Sebastian West office in
Indian River County in March 1998. Of the increase in employee benefits, an
additional $108,000 was expended for higher group health insurance costs.
Occupancy expenses and furniture and equipment expenses, on an aggregate basis,
increased $337,000 or 6.4 percent in 1998. Included in this increase are costs
related to the expansion and write-offs of obsolete computer hardware totaling
$105,000. Legal and professional fees increased $111,000 or 12.1 percent
compared to 1997, primarily as a result of consulting services utilized to
assist the Company during conversion of its core data processing system in 1998.
Outsourced data processing costs increased $755,000 in 1998 versus prior year.
This increase reflect the Company's implementation and conversion of its core
data processing system to a third party in lieu of in-house mainframe processing
which the Company's bank subsidiary utilized to mid-September 1998. Of the total
increase, approximately $500,000 was directly related to implementation and
processing costs for this new processing solution in the third and fourth
quarter.
<PAGE>
The other expense category decreased $2,827,000 or 32.0 percent in 1998 year
over year. Without the impact of non-recurring charges for 1998 and 1997, other
expenses were $492,000 or 7.9 percent lower. Costs associated with education,
employee placement and advertising, and other miscellaneous expenses were lower
in 1998 than in 1997.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes were 37.7 percent for 1999,
37.0 percent for 1998, and 36.4 percent for 1997. The increase in rates year to
year can be attributed to higher state income taxes, a result of lower tax
credit, lower tax exempt income, and the Company's effective federal tax rate
increasing due to adjusted income before taxes exceeding $10 million.
The Company has deferred tax assets, for which no valuation allowance is
required because the majority of the asset is deemed to be temporary and
sufficient taxable income exists to carry-back to recover the differences.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets declined approximately $11 million in 1999 after increasing
$149,200,000 or 15.8 percent to $1,092,230,000 in 1998. The significant increase
in 1998 resulted from the new branches opened in 1997 and a $25 million leverage
transaction. The Company allowed higher rate time deposits to decline as loan
growth slowed in the second half of 1999.
<PAGE>
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Table 8 summarizes the Company's capital position and selected ratios. The
Company's ratio of shareholders' equity to period end assets was 7.13 percent at
December 31, 1999, compared with 7.18 percent one year earlier. This ratio has
declined over the last two years as a result of the Company buying back
outstanding shares of its Class A Common stock. The cost of the repurchased
shares totaled $5,076,000 for 1999, compared to $8,957,000 a year ago.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
Table 9 shows total loans (net of unearned income) by category outstanding at
the indicated dates.
Total loans increased $76,614,000 or 10.9 percent in 1999 compared to
$87,620,000 or 14.3 percent in 1998. During 1999, the Company sold $28.0 million
in residential loans to manage interest rate risk, compared to $81.0 million in
1998 and $58.5 million in 1997.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's mortgage loan balances secured by
residential properties amounted to $431,694,000 or 55.5 percent of total loans.
The next largest concentration was loans secured by commercial real estate which
totaled $178,004,000 or 22.9 percent. Most of the commercial real estate loans
were made to local businesses and professionals and are secured by owner
occupied properties. Loans and commitments for 1-4 family residential properties
and commercial real estate are generally secured with first mortgages on
property, with the loan to fair value of the property not exceeding 80 percent
on the date the loan is made. The Company was also a creditor for consumer loans
to individual customers (primarily secured by motor vehicles) totaling
$78,013,000 and real estate construction loans totaling $42,899,000 (of which
approximately $20.8 million was secured by residential properties).
The Treasure Coast is a residential community with commercial activity centered
in retail and service businesses serving the local residents. Therefore, real
estate mortgage lending is an important segment of the Company's lending
activities. Exposure to market interest rate volatility with respect to mortgage
loans, is managed by attempting to match maturities and repricing opportunities
for assets against liabilities, when possible. At December 31, 1999,
approximately $163 million or 38 percent of the Company's mortgage loan balances
secured by residential properties were adjustable.
Of the approximate $137 million of new residential loans originated in 1999, $57
million were adjustable rate and $80 million were fixed rate. The Company sold
approximately $28 million of its 30-year and 15-year fixed rate loan
originations in 1999. Loans secured by residential properties having fixed rates
totaled approximately $268 million at December 31, 1999, of which 15- and
30-year mortgages totaled approximately $125 million and $105 million,
respectively. Remaining fixed rate balances were comprised of home improvement
loans with short maturities less than 15 years.
The Company's historical net charge offs for residential loans has been low,
totaling $104,000 for the year 1998. The Company expects that 2000's residential
loan demand may be comprised of more adjustable rate loans than fixed rate due
to increased interest rates.
Fixed rate and adjustable rate loans secured by commercial real estate total
approximately $114 million and $64 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999.
Commercial lending activities are directed principally towards businesses whose
demand for funds are within the Company's lending limits, such as small to
medium sized professional firms, retail and wholesale outlets, and light
industrial and manufacturing concerns. Such businesses typically are smaller,
often have short operating histories and do not have the sophisticated record
keeping systems of larger entities. Most of such loans are secured by real
estate used by such businesses, although certain lines are unsecured. Such loans
are subject to the risks inherent to lending to small to medium sized businesses
including the effects of a sluggish local economy, possible business failure,
and insufficient cash flows. The Company's commercial loan portfolio totaled
$33,119,000 at December 31, 1999 compared to $31,908,000 at December 31, 1998.
The Company makes a variety of consumer loans, including installment loans,
loans for automobiles, boats, home improvements, and other personal, family and
household purposes, and indirect loans through dealers, to finance automobiles.
Most consumer loans are secured.
<PAGE>
Second mortgage loans and home equity lines are extended by the Company. No
negative amortization loans or lines are offered at the present time. Terms of
second mortgage loans include fixed rates for up to 10 years on smaller loans of
$30,000 or less. Such loans are sometimes made for larger amounts, with fixed
rates, but with balloon payments upon maturities, not exceeding five years.
At December 31, 1998, the Company's mortgage loan balances secured by
residential properties amounted to $397,733,000 or 56.7 percent of total loans.
The next largest concentration was mortgages secured by commercial real estate
which totaled $177,162,000 or 25.3 percent. Consumer loans to individual
customers (primarily secured by motor vehicles) totaled $71,506,000 in 1998 and
real estate construction loans totaled $22,877,000.
Loans secured by residential properties having fixed rates totaled approximately
$231 million at December 31, 1998, of which 15- and 30-year mortgages totaled
approximately $104 million and $93 million, respectively. Remaining fixed rate
balances were comprised of home improvement loans with short maturities less
than 15 years.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Table 11 provides certain information concerning the Company's allowance for
loan losses for the years indicated.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $6,870,000 at December 31, 1999, $527,000
higher than one year earlier. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
nonaccrual loans was 285.4 percent at December 31, 1999, compared to 262.3
percent at December 31, 1998. The model utilized to analyze the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses takes into account such factors as credit quality,
internal controls, audit results, staff turnover, local market economics and
loan growth. The resulting lower allowance level necessitated is also reflective
of the bank's favorable and consistent delinquency trends and historical loss
performance. These performance results are attributed to conservative,
long-standing and consistently applied loan credit policies and to a
knowledgeable, experienced and stable staff. As a result of the sale of the
credit card portfolio in 1998 (see Loan Portfolio), the Company eliminated its
exposure to future credit card losses. Net charge offs totaled only $133,000
compared to $730,000 one year earlier.

Table 12 summarizes the Company's allocation of the allowance for loan losses to
each type of loan and information regarding the composition of the loan
portfolio at the dates indicated.
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an amount
adequate in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. In its continuing evaluation of the allowance and its adequacy,
management considers, among other factors, the Company's loan loss experience,
the amount of past due and nonperforming loans, current and anticipated economic
conditions, and the values of certain loan collateral, and other assets. The
size of the allowance also reflects the large amount of permanent residential
loans held by the Company whose historical charge offs and delinquencies have
been superior by any comparison.
While it is the Company's policy to charge off in the current period loans in
which a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future losses
which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or
classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy as well
as conditions affecting individual borrowers, management's judgment of the
allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise. It is also subject to
regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into
account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan
losses and the size of the allowance for loan losses in comparison to a group of
peer companies identified by the regulatory agencies.
<PAGE>
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management relies predominantly on
its ongoing review of the loan portfolio, which is undertaken both to ascertain
whether there are probable losses which must be charged off and to assess the
risk characteristics of the portfolio in the aggregate. This review considers
the judgments of management, and also those of bank regulatory agencies that
review the loan portfolio as part of their regular examination process.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonaccrual loans totaling $1,118,000 at December 31, 1999 were performing, but
because the Company has determined that the collection of principal or interest
in accordance with the original terms of such loans is uncertain, it has placed
such loans on nonaccrual status. Of the amount reported in nonaccrual loans at
December 31, 1999, 85 percent is secured with real estate. Management does not
expect significant losses, for which an allowance for loan losses has not been
provided, associated with the ultimate realization of these assets.
Nonperforming assets are subject to changes in the economy, both nationally and
locally, changes in monetary and fiscal policies, and changes in conditions
affecting various borrowers from the Company's subsidiary bank. No assurance can
be given that nonperforming assets will not in fact increase or otherwise
change. A similar judgmental process is involved in the methodology used to
estimate and establish the Company's allowance for loan losses.

SECURITIES
Information relating to yields, maturities, carrying values, market values and
unrealized gains (losses) of the Company's securities is set forth in Table 15.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had $205,220,000 of securities held for sale
or 92.2 percent of total securities compared to $239,644,000 or 91.5 percent at
December 31, 1998. Total securities decreased $39,234,000 or 15.0 percent in
1999. These proceeds were used to fund loan growth.
The average life of the portfolio at December 31, 1999 was 2.9 years compared to
2.3 years in 1998. The average life remained basically unchanged as the increase
in interest rates caused a portion of the collateralized mortgage obligation
(CMO) portfolio's lives to extend.
At December 31, 1999, the Company had unrealized net losses of $8,980,000 or 4.0
percent of amortized cost. At December 31, 1998 unrealized net losses were
$64,000. While the Fed increased rates 75 basis points in 1999, a shifting U.S.
Treasury yield curve caused a 150 basis point change and resulted in increased
unrealized depreciation.
Company management considers the overall quality of the securities portfolio to
be high. No securities are held which are not traded in liquid markets or that
meet the Federal Financial Institution Examination Counsel (FFIEC) definition of
a high risk investment.
DEPOSITS
The Company promoted long term time deposits in 1999, and as a result, other
time certificates declined $13,889,000 or 4.5 percent and resulted in total
deposits increasing by only $758,000 to $905,960,000 at December 31, 1999. In
comparison, total deposits increased $99,104,000 in 1998. A significant portion
of the increase in deposits in 1998 resulted from growth in the Company's
northern markets, St. Lucie County and Indian River County, where the PSHC
acquisition and the opening of four new branches occurred.
Repurchase agreement balances declined $10,794,000 in 1999, compared to a growth
of $25,646,000 in 1998. Repurchase agreements are offered by the Company's
subsidiary bank to select customers who wish to sweep excess balances on a daily
basis for investment purposes.
<PAGE>
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Interest rate exposure is managed by monitoring the relationship between earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities, focusing primarily on those that are
rate sensitive. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those that re-price at
market interest rates within a relatively short period, defined here as one year
or less. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive
liabilities represents the Company's interest sensitivity gap, which may be
either positive (assets exceed liabilities) or negative (liabilities exceed
assets.)
On December 31, 1999, the Company had a negative gap position based on
contractual maturities and prepayment assumptions for the next twelve months,
with a negative cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap as a percentage of
total earning assets of 34.1 percent.
The Company's ALCO uses model simulations to estimate and manage its interest
rate sensitivity. The Company has determined that an acceptable level of
interest rate risk would be for net interest income to fluctuate no more than 6
percent, given a change in interest rates (up or down) of 200 basis points.
Based on the Company's most recent ALCO model simulations, net interest income
would decline 2.7 percent if interest rates would immediately rise 200 basis
points. It has been the Company's experience that non-maturity core deposit
balances are stable and subjected to limited repricing when interest rates
increase or decrease within a range of 200 basis points.
The Company does not presently use interest rate protection products in managing
its interest rate sensitivity.

(1) The repricing dates may differ from maturity dates for certain assets
due to prepayment assumptions.
(2) Securities are stated at amortized cost.
(3) Excludes nonaccrual loans.
(4) This category is comprised of NOW, savings, and money market
deposits. If NOW and savings deposits (totaling $194,146) were
deemed to be repriceable in "4-12 months," the interest sensitivity
gap and cumulative gap would be $179,385 indicating 17.6% of
earning assets and 51.2% of earning assets to interest bearing
liabilities for the "0-3 months" category.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
Contractual maturities for assets and liabilities are reviewed to meet current
and future liquidity requirements. Sources of liquidity, both anticipated and
unanticipated, are maintained through a portfolio of high quality marketable
assets, such as residential mortgage loans, investment securities, and federal
funds sold. The Company has access to federal funds and FHLB lines of credit and
is able to provide short term financing of its activities by selling, under
agreement to repurchase, United States Treasury securities and securities of
United States Government agencies and corporations not pledged to secure public
deposits or trust funds. At December 31, 1999, the Company had available lines
of credit of $163,000,000. At December 31, 1999, the Company had $59,695,000 of
United States Treasury and Government agency securities and mortgage backed
securities not pledged and available for use under repurchase agreements. At
December 31, 1998, the amount of securities available and unpledged was
$80,049,000.
Liquidity, as measured in the form of cash and cash equivalents, totaled
$59,942,000 at December 31, 1999, compared to $97,438,000 at December 31, 1998.
Cash and equivalents vary with seasonal deposit movements and are generally
higher in the winter than in the summer, and vary with the level of principal
repayments occurring in the Company's investment securities portfolio and loan
portfolio.

EFFECTS ON INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money, over time, due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of
a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have
a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the
general levels of inflation. However, inflation affects financial institutions'
increased cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and
benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases
in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans
held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and stockholders' equity.
Mortgage originations and refinancings tend to slow as interest rates increase,
and likely will reduce the Company's earnings from such activities and the
income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards Number 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and for Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). The Company is required to adopt this
statement in the future. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 133
will have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements or related
disclosures.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON RESPONSIBILITIES FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for the preparation and content of the accompanying
financial statements and the other information contained in this report.
Management believes that the financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with appropriate, generally accepted accounting principles applied on
a consistent basis and present fairly Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida's
consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Where amounts must
be based on estimates and judgments, they represent the best estimates of
management.
Management maintains and relies upon an accounting system and related internal
accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
properly executed and recorded and that the company's assets are safeguarded.
Emphasis is placed on proper segregation of duties and authorities, the
development and dissemination of written policies and procedures and a complete
program of internal audits and management follow-up. In recognition of
cost-benefit relationships and inherent control limitations, some features of
the control systems are designed to detect rather than prevent errors,
irregularities and departures from approved policies and practices. Management
believes the system of controls has prevented or detected on a timely basis any
occurrences that could be material to the financial statements and that timely
corrective actions have been initiated when appropriate.
The accompanying 1999 financial statements have been audited by Arthur Andersen
LLP certified public accountants. As part of their audit, Arthur Andersen LLP
evaluated the accounting systems and related internal accounting controls only
to the extent they deemed necessary to determine their auditing procedures.
Their audit would not necessarily disclose all internal accounting control
weaknesses because of the limited purpose of their evaluation. Although the
scope of Arthur Andersen LLP's audit did not encompass a complete review of and
they have not expressed an opinion on the overall system of internal accounting
control, they reported that their evaluation disclosed no conditions which they
consider to be material internal accounting control weaknesses.
The Board of Directors pursues its oversight role for accounting and internal
accounting control matters through an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
comprised entirely of outside Directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically
with management, internal auditors and independent accountants. The independent
accountants and internal auditors have full and free access to the Audit
Committee and meet with it privately, as well as with management present, to
discuss internal control accounting and auditing matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida
Stuart, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Seacoast Banking Corporation of
Florida and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles general
accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and Subsidiaries
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Operations: The Company is a single segment bank holding company whose
operations and locations are more fully described under Part I, "Item 1.
Business" of this annual report.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of these financial statements required the use
of certain estimates by management in determining the Company's assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Securities: Securities that may be sold as part of the Company's asset/liability
management or in response to, or in anticipation of changes in interest rates
and resulting prepayment risk, or for other factors are stated at market value.
Such securities are held for sale with unrealized gains of losses reflected as a
component of Shareholders' Equity net of tax. Debt securities that the Company
has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost.
Interest income on securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts is recognized using the interest method.
The Company generally anticipates prepayments of principal in the calculation of
the effective yield for collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed
securities. The adjusted cost of each specific security sold is used to compute
gains or losses on the sale of securities.
Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned consists of real estate
acquired in lieu of unpaid loan balances. These assets are carried at an amount
equal to the loan balance prior to foreclosure plus costs incurred for
improvements to the property, but no more than the estimated fair value of the
property.
Bank Premises and Equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed
principally by the straight line method, over the estimated useful lives as
follows: building - 25-40 years, furniture and equipment - 3-12 years. The
Company's policy is to capitalize certain costs related to externally developed
software systems utilized for internal use.
Purchase Method of Accounting: Net assets of companies acquired in purchase
transactions are recorded at fair value at date of acquisition. Core deposit
intangibles are amortized on a straight line basis over estimated periods
benefited, not exceeding 10 years. Goodwill is amortized on a straight line
basis over 15 years.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: The Company acquires mortgage servicing rights
through the origination of mortgage loans, and the Company sells or securitizes
those loans with servicing rights retained. Under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122, the Company allocates the total cost of the
mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the
mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values.
<PAGE>
The Company assesses its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment
based on the fair value of those rights. The portfolio is stratified by two
predominant risk characteristics: loan type and fixed versus variable interest
rate. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance for each
impaired stratum. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and
over the period of, the estimated net future servicing income.
Revenue Recognition: Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal
amount outstanding. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan
becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest.
When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the
current year is reversed and interest accrued in the prior year is charged to
the allowance for loan losses.
Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net
realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and
accrued interest.
Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses is management's
judgement of the amount necessary to increase the allowance for loan losses to a
level sufficient to cover losses in the collection of loans.
Net Income Per Share: Net income per share is based upon the weighted average
number of shares of both Class A and Class B common stock (Basic) and
equivalents (Diluted) outstanding during the respective years.
Cash Flow Information: For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash
flows, the Company considers cash and due from banks and federal funds sold as
cash and cash equivalents.
Business Combinations: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the financial position and results of operations of Port St. Lucie
National Bank Holding Corporation ("PSHC"), which the Company acquired on May
30, 1997. PSHC shareholders received 848,576 shares of Class A common stock for
all their issued and outstanding stock, warrants and options. This transaction
was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and,
accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been restated as if the
Company had operated as one entity since inception.
NOTE B
CASH, DIVIDEND AND LOAN RESTRICTIONS
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary bank enter into
agreements, or are subject to regulatory agreements, that result in cash, debt
and dividend restrictions. A summary of the most restrictive items follows:
The Company's subsidiary bank is required to maintain average reserve balances
with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances for
the year ended December 31, 1999 was approximately $8,100,000.
Under Federal Reserve regulation, the Company's subsidiary bank is limited as to
the amount it may loan to its affiliates, including the Company, unless such
loans are collateralized by specified obligations. At December 31, 1999, the
maximum amount available for transfer from the subsidiary bank to the Company in
the form of loans approximated 19 percent of consolidated net assets.
The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all
dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the bank's
profits, as defined, for that year combined with its retained net profits for
the preceding two calendar years. Under this restriction the Company's
subsidiary bank can distribute as dividends to the Company in 2000, without
prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, approximately $7,000,000.
<PAGE>
NOTE C
SECURITIES
The amortized cost and market value of securities at December 31, 1999, by
contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

One of the sources of the Company's business is loans to directors, officers and
other members of management. These loans are made on the same terms as all other
loans and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability. The aggregate
dollar amount of these loans was approximately $4,837,000 and $5,662,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. During 1999, $321,000 of new loans
were made and repayments totaled $1,146,000.
See Management's Discussion and Analysis under "Loan Portfolio for information
about concentrations of credit risk of all financial instruments.
<PAGE>
NOTE E
IMPAIRED LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Certain impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. As
a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation
allowance.
The Company's recorded investment in impaired loans and related valuation
allowance are as follows:

The valuation allowance is included in the allowance for loan losses. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998 were $58,000 and $102,000 respectively.
Interest payments received on impaired loans are recorded as interest income
unless collection of the remaining recorded investment is doubtful at which time
payments received are recorded as reductions to principal. The Company
recognized interest income on impaired loans of $1,000 and $13,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company's profit sharing plan which covers substantially all employees after
one year of service includes a matching benefit feature for employees electing
to defer the elective portion of their profit sharing compensation. In addition,
amounts of compensation contributed by employees are matched on a percentage
basis under the plan. The profit sharing contributions charged to operations
were $1,355,000 in 1999, $859,000 in 1998, and $814,000 in 1997.
The Company's stock option and stock appreciation rights plans were approved by
the Company's shareholders on April 25, 1991 and April 25, 1996. The number of
shares of Class A common stock that may be purchased pursuant to the 1991 and
1996 plans shall not exceed 300,000 shares for each plan. The Company has
granted options on 250,000 shares and 284,000 shares, respectively through
December 31, 1999. Under both plans the option exercise price equals the Class A
common stock's market price on the date of grant. All options have a four year
vesting period and a contractual life of ten years. The following table presents
a summary of stock option activity for 1997, 1998 and 1999:

The two stock option plans are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, and
therefore no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for
these plans been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
following pro forma amounts:
(Dollars in thousands except
per share data) 1999 1998 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------
Net Income:
As Reported $11,784 $9,563 $7,432

Per Share (Diluted):
As Reported 2.40 1.84 1.42
Pro Forma 2.33 1.76 1.39
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Because the Statement 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may
not be representative of that to be expected in future years.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1998 and 1997; risk-free interest rates of 5.65
percent for 1998, 6.90 percent for 1997 and 7.11 percent 1996; expected dividend
yield of 3.4 percent for the 1998 issue, 2.5 percent for the 1997 issue;
expected lives of 7 years; expected volatility of 38.6 percent for 1998, 30.4
percent for 1997.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Company has reserved 100,000 Class A common shares for issuance in
connection with an employee stock purchase plan and 150,000 Class A common
shares for issuance in connection with an employee profit sharing plan. At
December 31, 1999, an aggregate of 35,236 shares and 52,422 shares,
respectively, have been issued as a result of employee participation in these
plans.
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters presented to shareholders. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled
to 10 votes per share on all matters presented to shareholders. Class A and
Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters, except as
required by law or as provided otherwise in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share
of Class A common stock at any time prior to a vote of shareholders authorizing
a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and
of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of
December 31, 1999 that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the Company's
regulator categorized the Company as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1
leverage ratios as set forth below. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE N
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company and its subsidiary bank, because of the nature of their business,
are at all times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed.
Management, based upon advice of legal counsel, does not expect that the final
outcome of threatened or filed suits will have a materially adverse effect on
its results of operations or financial condition.
The Company's subsidiary bank is a party to financial instruments with off
balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs
of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit.
The subsidiary bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of
those instruments. The subsidiary bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and standby letters of credit as it does for on balance sheet
instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The subsidiary bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the bank upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and commercial and
residential real estate. Of the $91,154,000 outstanding at December 31, 1999,
$49,556,000 is secured by 1-4 family residential properties.

Notional Amount

Standby letters of credit and
financial guarantees written:
Secured 844 864
Unsecured 498 375
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the subsidiary
bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The subsidiary bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which
collateral is deemed necessary. The extent of collateral held for the above
secured standby letters of credit at December 31, 1999 and 1998 amounted to
$7,266,000 and $5,778,000 respectively.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that
value at December 31:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount was used as a reasonable estimate
of fair value.
Securities: The fair value of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency, mutual
fund and mortgage backed securities are estimated based on bid prices published
in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers.
The fair value of many state and municipal securities are not readily available
through market sources, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market price
or prices of similar instruments.
Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, mortgage, etc.
Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest
terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.
The fair value of loans, except residential mortgage, is calculated by
discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated
market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in
the loan. For residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting
contractual cash flows adjusting for prepayment assumptions using discount rates
based on secondary market sources adjusted to reflect differences in servicing
and credit costs.
Deposit Liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit: The fair value of
commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the present creditworthiness
of the counterparties.
