Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control.  The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Our actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements.

Our ability to achieve our financial objectives could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in Part I, Item 2., “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”): (a) “Introductory Note” in Part I, Item 1. “Business”; (b) “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A., as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and (c) “Introduction” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in Part II, Item 7 as well as:
 
§  
our ability to integrate the business and operations of companies and banks that we have acquired, and those we may acquire in the future;
§  
our need and our ability to incur additional debt or equity financing;

the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations;
§  
the accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions;
§  
the effects of harsh weather conditions, including hurricanes;
§  
inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
§  
the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations;
§  
the frequency and magnitude of foreclosure of our loans;
§  
effect of changes in the stock market and other capital markets;
§  
legislative or regulatory changes;
§  
our ability to comply with the extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject;
§  
the willingness of clients to accept third-party products and services rather than our products and services and vice versa;
§  
changes in the securities and real estate markets;
§  
increased competition and its effect on pricing;
§  
technological changes;
§  
changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government;
§  
the effects of security breaches and computer viruses that may affect our computer systems;
§  
changes in consumer spending and saving habits;
§  
growth and profitability of our noninterest income;
§  
changes in accounting principles, policies, practices or guidelines;
§  
the limited trading activity of our common stock;
§  
the concentration of ownership of our common stock;
§  
anti-takeover provisions under federal and state law as well as our Articles of Incorporation and our bylaws;
§  
other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
§  
our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.

However, other factors besides those referenced also could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.  Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.  We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007.  There was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.  The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $2.0 million at June 30, 2007, all of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.  In addition, interest and penalties associated with these unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $213,000.

NOTE 8 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
In accordance with the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), in the first quarter of 2003, the cost related to stock-based associate compensation included in net income has been accounted for under the fair value method in all reported periods.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R "Share-Based Payment"(Revised).  The Company continues to include the cost of its share-based compensation plans in net income under the fair value method.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had three stock-based compensation plans, consisting of the 2005 Associate Incentive Plan ("AIP"), the 2005 Associate Stock Purchase Plan ("ASPP"), and the 2005 Director Stock Purchase Plan ("DSPP").  Total compensation expense associated with these plans for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $137,000 and $889,000, respectively.

AIP.  The Company's AIP allows the Company's Board of Directors to award key associates various forms of equity-based incentive compensation.  Under the AIP, the Company has adopted the Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), effective January 1, 2006, which is a performance-based equity bonus plan for selected members of management, including all executive officers.  Under the Incentive Plan, all participants are eligible to earn an equity award, consisting of performance shares, in each year of the five-year period ending December 31, 2010.  Annual awards are tied to the annual earnings progression necessary to achieve the Project 2010 goal of $50.0 million in annual net income.  The grant-date fair value of an annual compensation award is approximately $1.5 million.  A total of 43,437 shares are eligible for issuance annually.

At the end of each calendar year, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors will confirm whether the performance goals have been met prior to the payout of any awards.  Any performance shares earned under the Incentive Plan will be issued in the calendar quarter following the calendar year in which the shares were earned.  A total of 32,799 shares were issued under this plan during the first quarter of 2007 related to the 2006 award.

The Company did not recognize any expense for the first six months of 2007 related to the Incentive Plan as results fell short of the earnings performance goal.  The Company recognized expense of $745,000 for the first six months of 2006 for the Incentive Plan.  A total of 875,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the AIP.  To date, the Company has issued 60,892 shares of common stock under the AIP.

Executive Stock Option Agreement.  In 2006 and 2005, under the provisions of the AIP, the Company's Board of Directors approved stock option agreements for a key executive officer (William G. Smith, Jr. - Chairman, President and CEO, CCBG).  Similar stock option agreements were approved in 2004 and 2003.  These agreements grant a non-qualified stock option award upon achieving certain annual earnings per share conditions set by the Board, subject to certain vesting requirements.  The options granted under the agreements have a term of ten years and vest at a rate of one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant.  Under the 2004 and 2003 agreements, 37,246 and 23,138 options, respectively, were issued, none of which have been exercised.  The fair value of a 2004 option was $13.42, and the fair value of a 2003 option was $11.64.  The exercise prices for the 2004 and 2003 options are $32.69 and $32.96, respectively.  Under the 2006 and 2005 agreements, the earnings per share conditions were not met; therefore, no expense was recognized related to these agreements.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and SFAS 123, the Company recognized expense of approximately $94,000 and $95,000 for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the 2004 and 2003 agreements.  In 2007, the Company replaced its practice of entering into a stock option arrangement by establishing a Performance Share Unit Plan under the provisions of the AIP that allows the executive to earn shares based on the compound annual growth rate in diluted earnings per share over a three-year period.  The details of this program for the executive are outlined in a Form 8-K filing dated January 31, 2007.  No expense related to this plan was recognized during the first six months of 2007 as results fell short of the earnings performance goal.

A summary of the status of the Company’s option shares as of June 30, 2007 is presented below:

As of June 30, 2007, there was approximately $63,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the nonvested option shares granted under the agreements.  That cost is expected to be recognized over the next six months.

DSPP.  The Company's DSPP allows the directors to purchase the Company's common stock at a price equal to 90% of the closing price on the date of purchase.  Stock purchases under the DSPP are limited to the amount of the directors' annual cash compensation.  The DSPP has 93,750 shares reserved for issuance.  A total of 27,516 shares have been issued since the inception of the DSPP.  For the first six months of 2007, the Company issued 8,778 shares under the DSPP and recognized approximately $23,000 in expense related to this plan.  For the first six months of 2006, the Company issued 7,002 shares and recognized approximately $24,000 in expense related to the DSPP.

ASPP.  Under the Company's ASPP, substantially all associates may purchase the Company's common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 90% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period.  Stock purchases under the ASPP are limited to 10% of an associate's eligible compensation, up to a maximum of $25,000 (fair market value on each enrollment date) in any plan year.  Shares are issued at the beginning of the quarter following each six-month offering period.  The ASPP has 593,750 shares of common stock reserved for issuance.  A total of 59,812 shares have been issued since inception of the ASPP.  For the first six months of 2007, the Company issued 23,531 shares under the ASPP and recognized $51,000 in expense related to this plan.  For the first six months of 2006, the Company issued 9,343 shares and recognized $45,000 in expense related to the ASPP.

Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the weighted average estimated fair value of the purchase rights granted under the ASPP Plan was $5.91 for the first six months of 2007.  For the first six months of 2006, the weighted average fair value of the purchase rights granted was $6.22.  In calculating compensation, the fair value of each stock purchase right was estimated on the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Lending Commitments.  The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients.  These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  As of June 30, 2007, the amounts associated with the Company’s off-balance sheet obligations were as follows:

(Dollars in Millions)

Commitments to Extend Credit(1)
 
$
408
Standby Letters of Credit
 
$

(1)
Commitments include unfunded loans, revolving lines of credit, and other unused commitments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so 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.

Contingencies.  The Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.  In management's opinion, there are no known pending claims or litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.


NOTE 11 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires that certain transactions and other economic events that bypass the income statement be displayed as other comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income totaled $7.3 million and $14.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and $7.7 million and $15.1 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2006.  The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and changes in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale (net of income taxes) and changes in the pension liability (net of taxes).  Changes in unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, on securities totaled approximately ($585,000) and ($270,000), respectively, for the three and six months ended June, 2007, and ($576,000) and ($668,000), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.  Reclassification adjustments consist only of realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities and were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis ("MD&A") provides supplemental information, which sets forth the major factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.  The MD&A is divided into subsections entitled "Business Overview," "Financial Overview," "Results of Operations," "Financial Condition," "Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements," and "Accounting Policies."  Information therein should facilitate a better understanding of the major factors and trends that affect our earnings performance and financial condition, and how our performance during 2007 compares with prior years. Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc. and its subsidiary, collectively, are referred to as "CCBG," "Company," "we," "us," or "our."

The period-to-date averages used in this report are based on daily balances for each respective period. In certain circumstances, comparing average balances for the comparable quarters of consecutive years may be more meaningful than simply analyzing year-to-date averages. Therefore, where appropriate, quarterly averages have been presented for analysis and have been noted as such.  See Table I for average balances and interest rates presented on a quarterly basis.

In this MD&A, we present an operating efficiency ratio and operating net noninterest expense as a percent of average assets, both of which are not calculated based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), but that we believe provide important information regarding our results of operations.  Our calculation of the operating efficiency ratio is computed by dividing noninterest expense less intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses, by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest income.  We calculate our operating net noninterest expense as a percent of average assets by subtracting noninterest expense excluding intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses from noninterest income.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures as part of its assessment of performance in managing noninterest expenses.  We believe that excluding intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses in our calculations better reflects our periodic expenses and is more indicative of normalized operations.

Although we believe the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.  In addition, there are material limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures such as the risks that readers of our financial statements may disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that our measures may not be directly comparable to other companies that calculate these measures differently.  Our management compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and the non-GAAP financial measure as detailed below.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Our actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements.  Please see the Introductory Note and Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report.

However, other factors besides those listed above, in our Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect our results, and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.  Any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.  We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by applicable law.


BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida and are the parent of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital City Bank (the "Bank" or "CCB").  The Bank offers a broad array of products and services through a total of 70 full-service offices located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.  The Bank also has mortgage lending offices in three additional Florida communities, and one Georgia community.  The Bank offers commercial and retail banking services, as well as trust and asset management, merchant services, securities brokerage and data processing services.

Our profitability, like most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference between the interest received on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings.  Results of operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses, operating expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest income such as service charges on deposit accounts, asset management and trust fees, mortgage banking revenues, merchant service fees, brokerage and data processing revenues.

Our philosophy is to grow and prosper, building long-term relationships based on quality service, high ethical standards, and safe and sound banking practices.  We are a super-community bank in the relationship banking business with a locally oriented, community-based focus, which is augmented by experienced, centralized support in select specialized areas.  Our local market orientation is reflected in our network of banking office locations, experienced community executives, and community advisory boards which support our focus on responding to local banking needs.  We strive to offer a broad array of sophisticated products and to provide quality service by empowering associates to make decisions in their local markets.

Pursuant to our long-term strategic initiative, "Project 2010", we have continued our expansion, emphasizing a combination of growth in existing markets and acquisitions.  Acquisitions will continue to be focused on a three state area including Florida, Georgia, and Alabama with a particular focus on financial institutions, which are $100 million to $400 million in asset size and generally located on the outskirts of major metropolitan areas.  We continue to evaluate de novo expansion opportunities in attractive new markets in the event that acquisition opportunities are not feasible.  Other expansion opportunities that will be evaluated include asset management, insurance, and mortgage banking.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

A summary overview of our financial performance for 2007 versus 2006 is provided below.

2007 Financial Performance Highlights –

 
Ÿ
Earnings of $7.9 million, down 5.1% and $14.8 million, down 5.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in 2006.

 
Ÿ
Diluted earnings per share of $.43 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $.44 for the comparable period in 2006, a decrease of 2.3%.  Earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $.81 compared to $.84 for the same period in 2006, a decrease of 3.6%.

 
Ÿ
Decline in earnings for the three and six month periods reflects lower net interest income and higher credit costs partially offset by stronger noninterest income and lower operating expenses.

 
Ÿ
Taxable equivalent net interest income declined 5.0% and 3.5% for the three and six month periods, respectively, due to higher funding costs.
 
 
Ÿ
Loan loss provision increased $1.6 million and $2.1 million for the three and six month periods reflective of a higher level of required reserves during the periods, including both general and impaired loan reserves.
 
 
Ÿ
Noninterest income grew 7.7% and 7.4% for the three and six month periods, respectively, due primarily to higher deposit fees, retail brokerage fees, and card processing fees.
 
 
Ÿ
Noninterest expense declined 3.8% and 1.2% for the three and six month periods, respectively, due primarily to our continued focus on expense control and implementation of cost savings strategies.
 
 
Ÿ
We remain well-capitalized with a risk based capital ratio of 14.66%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $7.9 million, or $.43 per diluted share, and $14.8 million, or $.81 per diluted share, respectively.  This compared to $8.3 million or $.44 per diluted share and $15.7 million, or $.84 per diluted share in 2006. 

The decline in earnings for the second quarter of 2007 of $424,000, or 5.1% was attributable to a reduction in net interest income of $1.7 million and a $1.6 million increase in the loan loss provision, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $1.1 million, a decrease in noninterest expense of $1.2 million, and a reduction in income taxes of $600,000.

The decline in earnings for the six month period of $888,000, or 5.6% reflects a $2.5 million decrease in net interest income and a $2.1 million increase in the loan loss provision, partially offset by higher noninterest income of $2.0 million, lower noninterest expense of $703,000, and a decline in income taxes of $1.1 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning assets, less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities.  Second quarter of 2007 taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased $1.5 million, or 5.0%, over the comparable quarter in 2006.  During the first half of 2007, taxable-equivalent net interest income decreased $2.1 million, or 3.5%, respectively, over the first half of 2006.  The decrease in both periods reflects a higher level of interest expense driven by a rising cost of funds, partially offset by an improvement in our yield on earning assets, which was driven by a favorable repricing variance.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2007, taxable-equivalent interest income increased $0.5 million or 1.3%, over the comparable period in 2006. During the first half of 2007, taxable-equivalent interest income improved $2.9 million, or 3.5%, respectively, over the comparable period in 2006.  The increase is attributable to a favorable repricing variance in both our loan and securities portfolios, partially offset by the overall reduction in the level of earning assets, specifically, the loan portfolio.  The decline in the loan portfolio is attributable to the slowdown in real estate activity and, more specifically, the residential sector.  Earning asset yields improved 41 basis points to 7.76% in the second quarter of 2007 from 7.35% in the second quarter of 2006 and was slightly higher than the prior quarter of 7.71%.  The improvement is attributable to favorable repricing in a higher interest rate environment.  We anticipate that our income on earning assets will decrease during the third quarter due to the lower level of earning assets and an unfavorable shift in mix driven by the loan portfolio.

Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 increased $2.1 million, or 18.6% and $5.0 million, or 23.2%, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods.  The increase is attributable to higher rates paid on interest bearing deposits and a change in mix to higher rate accounts, partially offset by a decrease in long-term debt costs.  The decline in long-term borrowings reflects maturing Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances throughout 2006 which were not renewed.  The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities of 3.12% in the second quarter of 2007 represents an increase of 54 and 1 basis points, respectively, over the second quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007.  We anticipate the rate of growth in our average cost of funds will continue to slow in the third quarter.

Our interest rate spread (defined as the average fully taxable-equivalent yield on earning assets less the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities) decreased from 4.72% in the first half of 2006 to 4.62% in the comparable period of 2007, reflecting the higher costs of funds.

Our net yield on earning assets (defined as fully taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 5.33% and 5.31%, respectively, for the three and six month periods of 2007, versus 5.38% and 5.31%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2006.  The second quarter margin decrease is primarily attributable to higher costs of funds.    Current market conditions, including overall loan activity, a flat yield curve and robust competition will continue to place pressure on net interest income during the third quarter.


Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, compared to $121,000 and $788,000 for the same periods in 2006.  The increase in the provision for both periods was due to a higher level of required reserves.  For the three month period, the provision was impacted by a higher level of required reserves for impaired loans, primarily attributable to one $5.7 million commercial real estate project located on Florida’s west coast, for which a reserve of $927,000 is maintained.  The increase in the provision for the six month period generally reflects a higher level of required reserves (both general and impaired reserves) for the period.

Net charge-offs totaled $1.3 million, or .27% of average loans for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $136,000, or .03% for the second quarter of 2006.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, net charge-offs totaled $2.7 million, or .27% of average loans compared to $934,000 or .09% of average loans for the comparable period in 2006.  At quarter-end the allowance for loan losses was .91% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 194% of nonperforming loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, or 7.7%, and $2.0 million, or 7.4%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher deposit fees, retail brokerage fees, and card processing.

Noninterest income represented 34.6% and 33.8% of operating revenue, respectively, for the three and six month periods of 2007 compared to 31.7% and 31.3%, respectively, for the same periods in 2006.  The improvement reflects both the aforementioned increase in noninterest income and the lower level of net interest income contribution.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts.  Deposit service charge fees increased $345,000, or 5.7%, and $711,000, or 6.0%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  The increase reflects a higher level of overdraft and nonsufficient funds activity and an increase in fees for deposit accounts initiated during the second quarter of 2007.

Asset Management Fees.  Income from asset management activities increased $20,000, or 1.7%, and $195,000, or 8.8%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  The improvement for both periods is primarily due to an increase in new business within existing and new markets and improved asset valuations.  At June 30, 2007, assets under management totaled $767.8 million, representing an increase of $82.8 million, or 12.1% from the comparable period in 2006.

Retail Brokerage Fees.  Income from retail brokerage activities increased $303,000, or 60.4%, and $281,000, or 28.6%, respectively, from the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  The improvement for both periods reflects a higher level of activity by existing clients, increased staffing and improvement in the internal referral system, each of which enhanced sales production.

Mortgage Banking Revenues.  Mortgage banking revenues decreased $52,000, or 5.8%, and $94,000, or 5.8%, respectively, from the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  The decrease is due to lower production, which is generally reflective of the local and national trend of a slower housing market.

Card Fees.  Card processing fees (including merchant services fees, interchange fees, and ATM/debit card fees) increased $296,000, or 9.2%, and $783,000, or 12.6%, respectively, over the comparable three and six periods in 2006.  The increase in merchant service fees is primarily due to higher transaction volume reflective of growth in merchant accounts.  Higher interchange fees and ATM/debit card fees reflect an increase in our active card base primarily associated with growth in transaction deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 3.8%, and $703,000, or 1.2%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  For the three month period, lower expense for compensation ($212,000), advertising ($249,000), training ($158,000), and travel and entertainment ($85,000) were the primary reasons for the decrease.  For the six month period, the decrease was primarily attributable to lower expense for advertising ($384,000), travel and entertainment ($126,000), printing and supplies ($179,000) and telephone ($127,000).  The decline in expense for advertising, training, travel and entertainment, printing and supplies, and telephone reflects the strengthening of cost control procedures and implementation of cost savings strategies.

Various significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail below.

Compensation.  Salaries and associate benefits expense decreased $212,000, or 1.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and increased $77,000, or .25% for the six month period.  For both periods, increases in associate salaries of $893,000, or 8.5% and $1.5 million, or 7.1% were offset by decreased associate benefit expense of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.  The higher level of associate salaries primarily reflects merit and market salary adjustments for associates and officers.  The lower level of associate benefit expense is attributable to a reduction in the projected payout under our stock compensation plans, including both the Associate Incentive Plan for 2007 and our Project 2010 associate stock award for which the expense accrual was adjusted to reflect a revision to the performance target date.

Occupancy.  Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) decreased $201,000, or 4.0%, and $338,000, or 3.5%, respectively from the comparable three and six month periods in 2006.  For both periods, the decline is attributable to lower expense for maintenance and repairs (building) and depreciation expense.  The decrease in maintenance and repair expense reflects improved approval and monitoring procedures for this activity.  The lower depreciation expense primarily reflects the full depreciation of several larger fixed assets, including both premises and components of our core processing system.

Other.  Other noninterest expense decreased $760,000, or 7.0%, and $441,000, or 2.1%, respectively from the three and six month periods in 2006.  Lower expense for advertising, travel and entertainment, printing and supplies, training, and telephone drove the decline for both periods.  All of the aforementioned decreases are reflective of improved cost control procedures and other cost saving strategies initiated in the second half of 2006.

Operating net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus noninterest expense, excluding intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses) as a percent of average assets was 2.28% for the first half of 2007 compared to 2.40% for the same period in 2006.  Our operating efficiency ratio (noninterest expense, excluding intangible amortization and one-time merger expenses, expressed as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income) was 66.15% for the first half of 2007 compared to 66.70% for the same period in 2006.  The improvement in both of these metrics reflects growth in noninterest income and improved control of operating expenses.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $602,000, or 12.9% and $1.1 million, or 12.3%, respectively, from the comparable three and six month periods in 2006, reflecting lower taxable income.  Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 34.09% and 33.89% compared to 36.04% and 35.55% for the same periods in 2006.  The decrease in the effective tax rate for both periods is primarily attributable to: 1) a higher level of tax-free loan and securities income, 2) full amortization of certain deferred taxes related to a purchase accounting adjustment from a prior acquisition, and 3) the favorable impact of disallowed interest payments for an FHLB advance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Average assets decreased $46.1 million, or 1.80%, to $2.511 billion for the quarter-ended June 30, 2007 and from $2.557 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006.  Average earning assets of $2.187 billion decreased $50.8 million, or 2.27%, from the fourth quarter of 2006.  We discuss these variances in more detail below.

Funds Sold

We ended the second quarter with $38.3 million in average net overnight funds sold, compared to $26.1 million net overnight funds sold in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The improvement is reflective of the decline in the loan portfolio partially offset by the decline in deposits, both of which are discussed in further detail below.

Investment Securities

Our investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity and asset/liability management.  As of June 30, 2007, the average investment portfolio decreased $1.3 million, or .67%, from the fourth quarter of 2006.  We will continue to evaluate the need to purchase securities for the investment portfolio for the remainder of 2007, taking into consideration the Bank’s overall liquidity position and pledging requirements.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of shareowners’ equity.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, shareowners’ equity included a net unrealized loss of $1.1 million and $834,000, respectively.  The increase in the unrealized loss is attributable to higher interest rates.  Because the declines in the market value of these investments are attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the we have has the ability and intent to hold these investments until there is a recovery in fair value, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007.

Average loans for the second quarter decreased $58.8 million, or 2.93%, from the fourth quarter, due to a general slowing of lending activity within Bank markets, and a high level of principal pay-downs and pay-offs, including the pay-off of several larger commercial loans.  Loan production and the pipeline improved slightly from the first quarter, but the continued high level of pay-downs and pay-offs from larger commercial and commercial real estate loans has more than offset new production resulting in a net decline in the portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets

Our nonperforming loans were $9.0 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2006.  As a percent of nonperforming loans, the allowance for loan losses represented 194% at June 30, 2007 and 214% at December 31, 2006.  Nonperforming loans include nonaccruing and restructured loans.  Other real estate, which includes property acquired either through foreclosure or by receiving a deed in lieu of foreclosure, was $1.1 million at June 30, 2007 versus $0.7 million at December 31, 2006.  The ratio of nonperforming assets as a percent of loans plus other real estate was .52% at June 30, 2007, compared to .44% at December 31, 2006, evidencing a decline in this credit quality metric during the quarter driven primarily by the higher level of nonaccrual loans.  Strong loan monitoring procedures are in place which allows us to timely identify problem assets, develop effective collection plans, and limit loss exposure.  We believe that the current level of nonperforming assets  compares favorably to our peer group.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to provide for the estimated credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.  Credit losses arise from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to repay, and from other risks inherent in the lending process, including collateral risk, operations risk, concentration risk and economic risk.  All related risks of lending are considered when assessing the adequacy of the loan loss reserve.  The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes collection of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance for loan losses is based on management's judgment of overall loan quality.  This is a significant estimate based on a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio.  The balance can and will change based on changes in the assessment of the portfolio's overall credit quality.  We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 was $17.5 million, compared to $17.2 million at December 31, 2006.  At June 30, 2007, the allowance represented 0.91% of outstanding loans (net of overdrafts) and provided coverage of 194% of nonperforming loans, compared to 0.86% and 214%, respectively at December 31, 2006.  While there can be no assurance that we will not sustain loan losses in a particular period that are substantial in relation to the size of the allowance, our assessment of the loan portfolio does not indicate a likelihood of this occurrence.  It is management’s opinion that the allowance at June 30, 2007 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at quarter-end.

23



Deposits

Average deposits for the second quarter decreased $41.0 million, or 2.02% from the fourth quarter of 2006 due primarily to a reduction in demand deposit account balances of $26.4 million and a decline in certificates of deposit of $10.0 million, or 2.07%.  The decline in demand deposit accounts reflects a seasonal variance in public fund and tax deposit balances which typically spike at year-end, and the disintermediation that generally occurs when market rates increase.  The decline in certificates of deposit reflects our efforts to balance our funding strategy with investment opportunities and, given the current operating environment, an unwillingness to compete aggressively for high cost deposits.

The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits was 22.7% for the second quarter of 2007, compared to 23.7% for the fourth quarter of 2006.  For the same periods, the ratio of average interest bearing liabilities to average earning assets was 78.8% and 76.8%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

General.  Liquidity for a banking institution is the availability of funds to meet increased loan demand, excessive deposit withdrawals, and the payment of other contractual cash obligations.  Management monitors our financial position in an effort to ensure we have ready access to sufficient liquid funds to meet normal transaction requirements and take advantage of investment opportunities and cover unforeseen liquidity demands.  In addition to core deposit growth, sources of funds available to meet liquidity demands include cash received through ordinary business activities (i.e., collection of interest and fees), federal funds sold, loan and investment maturities, our bank lines of credit, approved lines for the purchase of federal funds by CCB and FHLB advances.

Average liquidity, defined as funds sold and interest bearing deposits with other banks, for the second quarter of 2007 was $52.9 million compared to $43.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The increase reflects the aforementioned decline in the loan portfolio, partially offset by a decline in deposit balances.  Liquidity was further impacted by share repurchase activity, an activity which management expects to continue in the third quarter.  Share repurchase activity for the first half of 2007 is discussed in more detail below.

Borrowings.  At June 30, 2007, we had $50.8 million in borrowings outstanding to the FHLB consisting of 34 notes.  For the first six months of the year, the Bank made FHLB advance payments totaling approximately $6.4 million and obtained one new FHLB advance for $1.7 million.  The FHLB notes are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all of our 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, and home equity mortgage loans.

We have issued two junior subordinated, deferrable interest notes to two wholly-owned Delaware statutory trusts.  The first note for $30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in November 2004.  The second note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II in May 2005.  The interest payments for the CCBG Capital Trust I borrowing are due quarterly at a fixed rate of 5.71% for five years, then adjustable annually to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%.  This note matures on December 31, 2034.  The proceeds of this borrowing were used to partially fund the acquisition of Farmers and Merchants Bank of Dublin.  The interest payments for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing are due quarterly at a fixed rate of 6.07% for five years, then adjustable quarterly to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%.  This note matures on June 15, 2035.  The proceeds of this borrowing were used to partially fund the First Alachua Banking Corporation acquisition.

Contractual Cash Obligations.  We maintain certain contractual arrangements to make future cash payments.  The table below details those future cash payment obligations as of June 30, 2007.  Payments for borrowings do not include interest.  Payments related to leases are based on actual payments specified in the underlying contracts.

Capital

Equity capital was $301.4 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to $315.8 million as of December 31, 2006.  Management continues to monitor our capital position in relation to our level of assets with the objective of maintaining a strong capital position.  The leverage ratio was 11.14% at June 30, 2007 compared to 11.30% at December 31, 2006.  Further, the risk-adjusted capital ratio of 14.66% at June 30, 2007 exceeds the 8.0% minimum requirement under the risk-based regulatory guidelines.  As allowed by the Federal Reserve Board capital guidelines the trust preferred securities issued by CCBG Capital Trust I and CCBG Capital Trust II are included as Tier 1 capital in our capital calculations.

Adequate capital and financial strength is paramount to the stability of CCBG and the Bank.  Cash dividends declared and paid should not place unnecessary strain on our capital levels.  Although a consistent dividend payment is believed to be favorably viewed by the financial markets and shareowners, the Board of Directors will declare dividends only if we are considered to have adequate capital.  Future capital requirements and corporate plans are considered when the Board considers a dividend payment.  Dividends declared and paid during the first six months of 2007 totaled $.3500 per share compared to $.3250 per share for the first six months of 2006, an increase of 7.7%.  The dividend payout ratios for the six months of 2007 and 2006 were 42.85% and 38.37%, respectively.

State and federal regulations place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by both CCBG and the Bank.  At June 30, 2007, these regulations and covenants did not impair CCBG or the Bank's ability to declare and pay dividends or to meet other existing obligations in the normal course of business.

During the first six months of 2007, shareowners’ equity decreased $14.3 million, or 9.1%, on an annualized basis.  During this same period, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income of $14.8 million, the issuance of common stock of $0.5 million, stock-based compensation accretion of $0.1 million, and a miscellaneous adjustment to retained earnings of $0.3 million related to the correction of a SAB No. 108 entry made in 2006.  Equity was reduced by dividends paid during the first six months of the year by $6.5 million, or $.3500 per share, the repurchase/retirement of common stock of $23.2 million, and an increase in the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $0.3 million.  At June 30, 2007, our common stock had a book value of $16.87 per diluted share compared to $17.01 at December 31, 2006.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 2,171,875 shares of our outstanding common stock.  The purchases are made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  To date, we have repurchased a total of 1,594,380 shares at an average purchase price of $24.78 per share.  We repurchased 428,442 shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2007 at an average purchase price of $31.36 per share.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not currently engage in the use of derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risks.  However, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients.

At June 30, 2007, we had $408.5 million in commitments to extend credit and $14.3 million in standby letters of credit.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so 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.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party.  We use the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require funding at historical levels, management does not anticipate that such funding will adversely impact its ability to meet on-going obligations.  In the event these commitments require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current liquidity, available lines of credit from the FHLB, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient source of funds to meet these commitments.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make various estimates and assumptions (see Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is established through a charge to the provision for loan losses.  Provisions are made to reserve for estimated losses in loan balances.  The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and is evaluated quarterly by us for adequacy.  The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce a different required allowance, and thereby a larger or smaller provision recognized as expense in any given reporting period.  A further discussion of the allowance for loan losses can be found in the section entitled "Allowance for Loan Losses" and Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Intangible Assets.  Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, core deposit assets, and other identifiable intangibles that were recognized in connection with various acquisitions.  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair market value of their identifiable net assets.  We perform an impairment review on an annual basis to determine if there has been impairment of our goodwill.  We have determined that no impairment existed at December 31, 2006.  Impairment testing requires management to make significant judgments and estimates relating to the fair value of its identified reporting units.  Significant changes to these estimates may have a material impact on our reported results.

Core deposit assets represent the premium we paid for core deposits.  Core deposit intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method over various periods ranging from 5-10 years.  Generally, core deposits refer to nonpublic, non-maturing deposits including noninterest-bearing deposits, NOW, money market and savings.  We make certain estimates relating to the useful life of these assets, and rate of run-off based on the nature of the specific assets and the client bases acquired.  If there is a reason to believe there has been a permanent loss in value, management will assess these assets for impairment.  Any changes in the original estimates may materially affect reported earnings.

Pension Assumptions. We have a defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of substantially all of our associates.  Our funding policy with respect to the pension plan is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set by law.  Pension expense, reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income in noninterest expense as "Salaries and Associate Benefits," is determined by an external actuarial valuation based on assumptions that are evaluated annually as of December 31, the measurement date for the pension obligation.  The Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition reflect an accrued pension benefit cost due to funding levels and unrecognized actuarial amounts.  The most significant assumptions used in calculating the pension obligation are the weighted-average discount rate used to determine the present value of the pension obligation, the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation increases.  These assumptions are re-evaluated annually with the external actuaries, taking into consideration both current market conditions and anticipated long-term market conditions.

The weighted-average discount rate is determined by matching the anticipated Retirement Plan cash flows to a long-term corporate Aa-rated bond index and solving for the underlying rate of return, which investing in such securities would generate.  This methodology is applied consistently from year-to-year.  We anticipate using a 6.00% discount rate in 2007.

The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the current and anticipated future mix of assets in the plan.  The assets currently consist of equity securities, U.S. Government and Government Agency debt securities, and other securities (typically temporary liquid funds awaiting investment).  We anticipate using a rate of return on plan assets of 8.0% for 2007.

The assumed rate of annual compensation increases is based on expected trends in salaries and the employee base.  We used a rate of 5.50% in 2006 and do not expect this assumption to change materially in 2007.

Information on components of our net periodic benefit cost is provided in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein and Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments."  SFAS 155 amends SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  SFAS 155 (i) permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (ii) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133, (iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and (v) amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.  SFAS 155 became effective on January 1, 2007, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements."  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115."  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  The fair value option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions, (ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs) and (iii) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.  SFAS 159 is effective for us on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretations

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority.  The recently issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties.  FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties.  The differences between the amounts recognized in the statements of financial position prior to the adoption of FIN 48 and the amounts reported after adoption will be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to the beginning balance of retained earnings.  FIN 48 became effective for us in the first quarter of 2007 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force

In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-10”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employee owns and controls the insurance policies.  The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“Statement 106”) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (“APB 12”), as well as recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee.  Issue 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.  The Company is in the process of reviewing the potential impact of Issue 06-10.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus the EITF reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-4”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policies.  The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with Statement 106 or APB 12.  In addition, the consensus states that an employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee.  Issue 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.  The Company is in the process of reviewing the potential impact of Issue 06-4.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Overview

Market risk management arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices.  We have risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk and do not participate in activities that give rise to significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or equity prices.  In asset and liability management activities, policies are in place that are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The normal course of business activity exposes us to interest rate risk.  Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market value of our financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. We seek to avoid fluctuations in our net interest margin and to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk through periods of changing interest rates.  Accordingly, our interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are monitored on an ongoing basis by our Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which oversees market risk management and establishes risk measures, limits and policy guidelines for managing the amount of interest rate risk and its effects on net interest income and capital.  A variety of measures are used to provide for a comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk, the distribution of risk, the level of risk over time and the exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.

ALCO continuously monitors and manages the balance between interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities.  ALCO's objective is to manage the impact of fluctuating market rates on net interest income within acceptable levels.  In order to meet this objective, management may adjust the rates charged/paid on loans/deposits or may shorten/lengthen the duration of assets or liabilities within the parameters set by ALCO.

Our financial assets and liabilities are classified as other-than-trading.  An analysis of the other-than-trading financial components including the fair values, are presented in Table II.  This table presents our consolidated interest rate sensitivity position as of June 30, 2007 based upon certain assumptions as set forth in the Notes to the Table.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity analysis is to measure the impact on our net interest income due to fluctuations in interest rates.  The asset and liability values presented in Table II may not necessarily be indicative of our interest rate sensitivity over an extended period of time.

We expect rising rates to have a favorable impact on the net interest margin, subject to the magnitude and timeframe over which the rate changes occur.  However, as general interest rates rise or fall, other factors such as current market conditions and competition may impact how we respond to changing rates and thus impact the magnitude of change in net interest income.  Non-maturity deposits offer management greater discretion as to the direction, timing, and magnitude of interest rate changes and can have a material impact on our interest rate sensitivity.  In addition, the relative level of interest rates as compared to the current yields/rates of existing assets/liabilities can impact both the direction and magnitude of the change in net interest margin as rates rise and fall from one period to the next.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on the banking industry differs significantly from that of other industries in which a large portion of total resources are invested in fixed assets such as property, plant and equipment.

Assets and liabilities of financial institutions are virtually all monetary in nature, and therefore are primarily impacted by interest rates rather than changing prices.  While the general level of inflation underlies most interest rates, interest rates react more to changes in the expected rate of inflation and to changes in monetary and fiscal policy.  Net interest income and the interest rate spread are good measures of our ability to react to changing interest rates and are discussed in further detail in the section entitled "Results of Operations."

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that as of June 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed our internal control.  There have been no significant changes in our internal control during our most recently completed fiscal quarter, nor subsequent to the date of their evaluation, that could significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Legal Proceedings

We are party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.  In management's opinion, there are no known pending claims or litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table contains information about all purchases made by or on behalf of us or any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) of shares or other units of any class of our equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
