Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The following is a discussion and analysis of our June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to financial institutions.
This information should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Overview
We saw a continued improvement in our net interest margin, continued favorable trends in controllable income and expenses, growth in deposits and strong liquidity, all of which are in line with our expectations in this most difficult economic environment. Because of the current economic conditions, we have instituted several measures to reduce expenses in coming quarters. These include the closing of six of our smaller branches over the next quarter and a reduction in overhead in certain other administrative units largely accomplished by attrition over the same timeframe. We anticipate that these measures will reduce expenses by approximately $3.0 million annually. The deposits of the closed branches will be transferred to nearby branches, with little anticipated impact on deposit levels or liquidity.
The quarter's results included three items that adversely impacted our earnings. These items included charges for non-cash securities impairments on mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities deemed to be other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") of $5.8 million, an increase in the allowance for loan losses above last quarter's level by $3.6 million, and a special assessment by the FDIC imposed on all banks, of which our share was $1.5 million. These items aggregated $10.9 million or $6.9 million after tax. The quarter's results reflect this difficult recessionary period and the challenges facing the entire banking industry. We showed dramatic growth in new customers and core deposits while seeing loan growth moderate in comparison to 2008. Currently, we are experiencing a very high level of liquidity, and our reliance on non-customer funding is quite low. We are also closely focused on our capital structure, which remains "well capitalized" to ensure that our capacity to finance new lending activity remains strong.
Even though we may be experiencing some early signs of economic improvement and some renewed confidence is being shown in the stock market, these are very preliminary, and at best, we are still in a protracted recession. In these unprecedented times, our focus will remain on the long run, on maintaining our ability to support our customers in their growth along conservative lines. Our new business development activities continue to be focused on relationship building, which we anticipate will result in stronger deposit growth along with new loans as new relationships are added. To a large degree, the funding improvement we experienced this year is associated with our success in building relationship banking.
Our principal subsidiary is Superior Bank (the "Bank"), a federal savings bank headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, which currently operates 77 banking offices from Huntsville, Alabama to Venice, Florida and 24 consumer finance company offices in Alabama. Our Florida franchise currently has 32 branches, Alabama has 45 branches. We have announced our intention to close two banking offices in Alabama and four in Florida as a cost reduction measure as mentioned above.
Our second quarter 2009 net loss was $(5.7) million, or $(0.68) per share, compared to net income of $841,000 for the second quarter of 2008. Net interest income increased significantly, from $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2009. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 3.21% compared to 3.12% for the first quarter of 2009. This increase is due principally to improved loan and deposit pricing, which more than offset the impact of the higher level of non-performing

assets. The negative effect of loans placed on non-accrual on the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2009 is estimated to be 0.11%. Our total assets increased to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2009, compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2008. Loans increased to $2.39 billion at June 30, 2009, an increase of 3.6% from December 31, 2008 and 11.6% from June 30, 2008. Our total deposits at June 30, 2009 increased 3.8% to $2.6 billion from March 31, 2009 and increased 11.2% from December 31, 2008.
Consistent with the continuing economic decline's effect on real estate-related credits, our non-performing loans increased during the quarter to $117.7 million, or 4.91% of loans at June 30, 2009, from $74.2 million, or 3.15% of loans at March 31, 2009. This increase was largely driven by three shared participation credits totaling $22.4 million and increases in the 1-4 family mortgage portfolio of $6.5 million and real estate construction of $15 million. Loans in the 30-89 days past due category decreased to 1.50% of total loans at June 30, 2009 from 2.33% of total loans at March 31, 2009. Non-performing assets are 4.77% of total assets at June 30, 2009.
Net loan charge-offs decreased slightly to 0.39% as a percentage of average loans during the second quarter of 2009, compared to 0.42% during the first quarter of 2009. Of the $2.3 million net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2009, the Bank's net charge-offs were $1.8 million, or 0.31% of consolidated average loans, and our two consumer finance companies' net charge-offs were $0.5 million, or 0.08% of consolidated average loans.
The provision for loan losses was approximately $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, increasing the allowance for loan losses to 1.40% of net loans, or $33.5 million, at June 30, 2009, compared to 1.27% of net loans, or $29.9 million, at March 31, 2009.
Short-term liquid assets (cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold) increased $13.5 million, or 15.1%, to $102.9 million at June 30, 2009 from $89.4 million at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, short-term liquid assets were 3.2% of total assets, compared to 2.9% at December 31, 2008. On March 31, 2009, the Bank completed a placement of a $40 million aggregate principal amount 2.625% Senior Note due 2012 (the "Note"). The Note is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") under its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP") and is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Management continually monitors our liquidity position and will increase or decrease short-term liquid assets as necessary. Our principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, federal funds sold and maturities and sales of investment securities. In addition to these sources of liquidity, we have access to a minimum of $250 million in additional funding from traditional sources. Management believes it has established sufficient sources of funds to meet its anticipated liquidity needs.
The Bank continues to be well-capitalized under regulatory guidelines, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.04%, a Tier I core capital ratio of 8.31% and a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 9.83% as of June 30, 2009. The Bank's tangible common equity ratio is 8.31% at June 30, 2009.
Our total risk based capital ratio was 10.64% and our tangible common equity ratio was 7.96% at June 30, 2009. In addition, on July 15, 2009, we began closing on a private placement of or common stock, $0.001 par value per share, pursuant to which we anticipate issuing approximately 1.7 million shares for an aggregate price of approximately $3.7 million. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") finalized three FASB Staff Positions ("FSPs") regarding the accounting treatment for investments including mortgage-backed securities. These FSPs changed the method for determining if an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") exists and the amount of OTTI to be recorded through an entity's income statement. The changes brought about by the FSPs provide greater clarity and reflect a more accurate representation of the credit and noncredit components of an OTTI event. The three FSPs are as follows:
• FSP SFAS 157-4 Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Assets or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ("FSP 157-4") provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). It emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair


Table of Contents

value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale), between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

• FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-temporary impairments ("FSP 115-2 and 124-2") provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. It amends OTTI impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. It does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities.

• FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1") enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures.

These staff positions are effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early application possible for the first quarter of 2009. We elected to adopt FSP 157-4 and FSP 115-2 and 124-2 as of March 31, 2009, while deferring the election of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 until June 30, 2009. The adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 as of June 30, 2009 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. The effect of the early adoption of FSP 115-2 and 124-2 in the first quarter of 2009 resulted in the portion of OTTI determined to be credit-related ($5.8 million, pre-tax) being recognized in current earnings, while the portion of OTTI related to other factors ($4.6 million, pre-tax) was recognized in other comprehensive loss (see Notes 3 and 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). For the second quarter of 2009, the portion of OTTI determined to be credit-related ($5.8 million, pre-tax) being recognized in current earnings, while the portion of OTTI related to other factors
($0.9 million, pre-tax)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133") to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 was effective for us on January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows (see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for other recent accounting pronouncements that are not expected to have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The change in our net income during the periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 is primarily the result of security impairment losses (OTTI), foreclosure losses, FDIC assessments and the accrual of dividends on preferred stock which began in the fourth quarter of 2008. Changes in other components of our operations are discussed in the various sections that follow.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities used to support such assets. The following table summarizes the changes in the components of net interest income for the periods indicated:
