NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) -Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure . The amendments are intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized.

These amendments clarify that an in substance reposession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either: (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure; or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completiton of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required.

The amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company's financial statements.

Note 3. Securities

Proceeds from sales of securities classified as available for sale amounted to $10.1 million and $3.7 million for March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

Securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Investment securities issued by the U.S. Government and Government sponsored agencies with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are the result of changes in market interest rates. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may not be until maturity.

Corporate debt securities consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by businesses in the financial, insurance, utility, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas industries. The Company believes that each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities based on evaluations described above. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

The Company believes that the securities with unrealized losses reflect impairment that is temporary and there are currently no securities with other-than-temporary impairment. There were no impairments recognized on securities in the years 2012, 2013 or the first quarter 2014.

At March 31, 2014, the Company's exposure to investment securities issuers that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity is as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is considered such if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The modifications to the Company's TDRs were concessions on the interest rate charged. The effect of the modifications to the Company was a reduction in interest income. These loans have an allocated reserve in the Company's reserve for loan losses. The Company has not restructured any loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings in the prior twelve months.

The following table identifies the Troubled Debt Restructurings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to impairment testing. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company's goodwill is the difference in purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired from the Homestead Bancorp in 2007. Goodwill totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. No impairment charges have been recognized on the Company's intangible assets. Mortgage servicing rights were relatively unchanged totaling $0.1 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The weighted-average amortization period remaining for the Company's core deposit intangibles is 7.0 years . The core deposits intangible reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from acquisitions.

Note 7. Other Real Estate (ORE)

Other real estate owned consists of the following at the dates indicated:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Real Estate Owned Acquired by Foreclosure:

Non-farm non-residential		800		800
Total Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Property	$	2,743	$	3,357

Loans secured by one to four family residential properties in the process of foeclosure totaled $1.0 million as of March 31, 2014.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

The Company 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 and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Contract Amount
(in thousands)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	42,469	$	30,516
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	110,172	$	115,311
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	7,667	$	7,695

Litigation

The nature of the Company’s business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation and legal and administrative cases, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When the Company’s management and counsel determine it has defenses to the claims asserted, it defends itself. The Company will consider settlement of cases when, in Management’s and counsel’s judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders.

While the final outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, and available insurance coverage, Management believes that any incremental liability arising from the Company’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale . Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified Level 3 as of March 31, 2014 include municipal bonds and an equity security.

Impaired loans . Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the loans obtainable market price, if available (Level 1), the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned . Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") at March 31, 2014 are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property’s market; thus OREO measured at fair value would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

( in thousands)	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Available for Sale Securities Fair Value Measurements Using:
Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets	$	30,494	$	36,492
Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs		436,384		441,885
Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs		6,226		5,834
Securities available for sale measured at fair value	$	473,104	$	484,211

The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While Management believes the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The change in Level 3 securities available for sale from December 31, 2013 was due to principally to the purchase of a municipal bond $0.4 million.

The following table reconciles assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs ( Level 3 ):

	Level 3 Changes

ASC 825-10 provides the Company with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Note 11. Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates are generally subjective in nature and are dependent upon a number of significant assumptions associated with each instrument or group of similar instruments, including estimates of discount rates, risks associated with specific financial instruments, estimates of future cash flows and relevant available market information. Fair value information is intended to represent an estimate of an amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. However, since there are no established trading markets for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company may not be able to immediately settle financial instruments; as such, the fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized through immediate settlement. In addition, the majority of the financial instruments, such as loans and deposits, are held to maturity and are realized or paid according to the contractual agreement with the customer.

Quoted market prices are used to estimate fair values when available. However, due to the nature of the financial instruments, in many instances quoted market prices are not available. Accordingly, estimated fair values have been estimated based on other valuation techniques, such as discounting estimated future cash flows using a rate commensurate with the risks involved or other acceptable methods. Fair values are estimated without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of financial instruments, possible income tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Fair values are also estimated at a specific point in time and are based on interest rates and other assumptions at that date. As events change the assumptions underlying these estimates, the fair values of financial instruments will change.

Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain items such as lease financing, investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, obligations of pension and other postretirement benefits, premises and equipment, other real estate, prepaid expenses, the value of long-term relationships with depositors (core deposit intangibles) and other customer relationships, other intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are presented for existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have not been considered in the estimates. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent and should not be considered representative of the underlying market or franchise value of the Company.

Because the standard permits many alternative calculation techniques and because numerous assumptions have been used to estimate the fair values, reasonable comparison of the fair value information with other financial institutions' fair value information cannot necessarily be made. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold and federal funds purchased .

These items are generally short-term and the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets are a reasonable estimation of the fair values.

Investment Securities.

Fair values are principally based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or the use of discounted cash flow analyses.

Loans Held for Sale.

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans, net .

Market values are computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. These loans are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposits.

Market values are actually computed present values using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Deposits are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest payable.

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Borrowings .

The carrying amount of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair value of the Company’s long-term borrowings is computed using net present value formulas. The present value is the sum of the present value of all projected cash flows on an item at a specified discount rate. The discount rate is set as an appropriate rate index, plus or minus an appropriate spread. Borrowings are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Unrecognized Financial Instruments.

The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar legally binding agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and customers' credit ratings. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. Noninterest-bearing deposits are held at cost. The fair values of letters of credit are based on fees charged for similar agreements or on estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the fair value of guarantees under commercial and standby letters of credit was not material.

The estimated fair values and carrying values of the financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are presented in the following table:


	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013

Accrued interest payable	$	2,517	$	2,517	$	2,364	$	2,364

There is no material difference between the contract amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items that are primarily comprised of short-term unfunded loan commitments that are generally at market prices.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management discussion and analysis is intended to highlight the significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. This discussion is designed to provide readers with a more comprehensive view of the operating results and financial position than would be obtained from reading the consolidated financial statements alone. Reference should be made to those statements for an understanding of the following review and analysis. The financial data at March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and provisions) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations for such periods.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage corporations to provide information about a Company's anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, which protects us from unwarranted litigation, if actual results are different from Management expectations. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and reflects Management’s current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including, changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, which could cause our actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations, expressed in such forward-looking statements.

First Quarter 2014 Financial Overview

Financial highlights for the three month periods of 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

●	Net income for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 was $2.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Net income to common shareholders after preferred stock dividends was $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, with earnings per common share of $0.43 and $0.29, respectively. The increase in net income for the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013 was primarily the result of an increase in loan interest income, a decrease in interest expense, and a decrease in provision for loan losses.

●	Net interest income for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 was $10.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively. The net interest margin was 2.98% for the first quarter 2014 and 2.85% for the same period in 2013.

●	The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2014 was $0.3 million compared to $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.

●	Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $1.44 billion; a increase of $5.4 million or 0.4% from December 31, 2013. The increase in assets was primarily from an increase in loans.

●	Investment securities totaled $619.7 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $14.8 million when compared to $634.5 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, available for sale securities, at fair value, totaled $473.1 million; a decrease of $11.1 million when compared to $484.2 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, held to maturity securities, at amortized cost, totaled $146.6 million; a decrease of $3.7 million when compared to $150.3 million at December 31, 2013.

●	The weighted average life of the securities portfolio at March 31, 2014 was 5.6 years a decline of 0.1 years when compared to the average life of 5.7 years at December 31, 2013.

●	The net loan portfolio at March 31, 2014 totaled $700.3 million, a net increase of $7.5 million from the December 31, 2013 net loan portfolio of $692.8 million. Loans are reduced by the allowance for loan losses which totaled $9.6 million for March 31, 2014 and $10.4 million for December 31, 2013.

●	Total impaired loans decreased $2.6 million at March 31, 2014 to $27.3 million compared to $29.9 million at December 31, 2013.

●	Loans classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") stayed at the same level of $3.2 million for March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

●	Total deposits decreased $6.3 million or 0.5% at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. This decrease is from seasonal fluctuation of public fund deposits.

●	Return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 was 0.78% and 0.60%, respectively. Return on average common shareholders’ equity, adjusted for preferred stock dividends, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 was 12.27% and 7.69%, respectively. Return on average assets is calculated by dividing annualized net income before preferred dividends by average assets. Return on common shareholders’ equity is calculated by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average common shareholders’ equity.

●	The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per common share in the first quarters of 2014 and 2013.

●	Other real estate decreased $0.7 million to $2.7 million at March 31, 2014 from $3.4 million at December 31, 2013.

●	Book value per common share was $14.31 as of March 31, 2014 compared to $13.35 as of December 31, 2013. The increase in book value per share is a result of the decrease in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities and due to an increase in retained earnings..

●	Preferred stock dividends from participation in the U.S. Treasury's Small Business Lending Fund ("SBLF") decreased $0.2 million to $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2013. The reduction was due to the increase in qualified small business loans. The Company is at the contractual minimum rate of 1.0% on the SBLF preferred stock.

Financial Condition

Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014

General .

Total assets as of March 31, 2014 were $1.44 billion; a increase $5.4 million or 0.4% from December 31, 2013. The increase in assets represents an increase in loans.

Investment Securities.

Investment securities at March 31, 2014 totaled $619.7 million, a decrease of $14.8 million compared to $634.5 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease is attributed to the sale of corporate securities and a reduction in short term Treasury bills used for seasonal public funds pledging. The investment portfolio consisted of available for sale securities at their fair market value total of $473.1 million and held to maturity securities at amortized cost total of $146.6 million.

The securities portfolio consisted principally of U.S. Government agency securities, agency backed mortgage backed securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds. The securities portfolio provides the Company with a relatively stable source of income and provides a balance to credit risk when compared to other categories of assets. Management monitors the securities portfolio for both credit and interest rate risk. The Company generally limits the purchase of corporate securities to individual issuers to manage concentration and credit risk. Corporate securities generally have a maturity of 10 years or less. Government agency securities generally have maturities of 15 years or less. Corporate securities held at fair value totaled $134.6 million at March 31, 2014. U.S. Government Agency securities that were held at fair value totaled $291.5 million at March 31, 2014. Agency securities that were held for maturity and carried at amortized cost totaled $84.5 million at March 31, 2014. The fair value of held to maturity agency securities was $80.2 million at March 31, 2014. Mortgage backed securities that were held for maturity and carried at amortized cost totaled $62.1 million at March 31, 2014. The fair value of held to maturity mortgage backed securities was $60.2 million at March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2014, $40.0 million or 6.4% of the securities portfolio was scheduled to mature in less than one year. Securities with contractual maturity dates over 10 years totaled $39.6 million or 6.3% of the total portfolio. Mortgage backed securities totaled $62.1 million or 9.9% of the investment portfolio. The weighted average contractual maturity of the securities portfolio was 5.6 years at March 31, 2014 compared to 5.7 years at December 31, 2013. The average maturity of the securities portfolio is affected by call options that may be exercised by the issuer of the securities and are influenced by market interest rates.

Average securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 45.5% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 47.9% for the same period in 2013. At March 31, 2014, the U.S Government agency securities and municipal bonds qualified as securities pledgeable to collateralize repurchase agreements and public funds. Securities pledged totaled $493.8 million at March 31, 2014 and $503.1 million at December 31, 2013. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on investment securities.

Loans.

Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 49.8% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and 46.2% for the same period in 2013. Net loans increased $7.5 million or 1.1% from $692.8 million at December 31, 2013. As we have increased our loans to qualified small businesses, as a part of the SBLF program, our preferred dividend on our SBLF capital has decreased to $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 from $0.3 million for the same period in 2013. There are no significant concentrations of credit to any individual borrower. As of March 31, 2014, 72.5% of our loan portfolio was secured primarily or secondarily by real estate. The largest portion of our loan portfolio, at 47.0%, is non-farm non-residential loans secured by real estate.

Net loans are reduced by the allowance for loan losses which totaled $9.6 million for March 31, 2014 and $10.4 million for December 31, 2013. Loan charge offs totaled $1.1 million during the first three months of 2014, compared to $1.9 million during the same period of 2013. Recoveries totaled $0.1 million during the first three months of 2014 and $0.1 million during the first three months of 2013. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and Note 5 for information on the allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming Assets .

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on which interest is no longer accrued and real estate acquired through foreclosure (other real estate). The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans when management believes there is reasonable uncertainty about the full collection of principal and interest or when the loan is contractually past due 90 days or more and not fully secured. If the principal amount of the loan is adequately secured, then interest income on such loans is recognized only in periods in which actual payments are received.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets and restructured loans where the interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated at the dates indicated.

At March 31, 2014, nonperforming assets totaled $15.9 million compared to $18.3 million at December 31, 2013; a decrease of 13.1% or $2.4 million. Management has not identified additional information on any loans not already included in impaired loans or the nonperforming assets that indicates possible credit problems that could cause doubt as to the ability of borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms in the future. Nonperforming assets consist of loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, and other real estate.

At March 31, 2014 loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing totaled $0.2 million; a decrease of $0.2 million or 50.0% compared to the $0.4 million total at December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014 nonaccrual loans totaled $12.9 million; a decrease of $1.5 million or 10.6% compared to December 31, 2013 nonaccrual loans of $14.5 million. Nonaccrual loans were concentrated in 4 credit relationships for a total of $6.4 million or 49.1% of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2014.

Other real estate owned at March 31, 2014 totaled $2.7 million; a decrease of $0.7 million from $3.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb potential losses embedded in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for anticipated loan losses as well as recoveries of previously charged off loans and is decreased by loan charge-offs. The provision is the necessary charge to current expense to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance commensurate with Management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Various factors are taken into consideration when determining the amount of the provision and the adequacy of the allowance. These factors include but are not limited to:

●	past due and nonperforming assets;
●	specific internal analysis of loans requiring special attention;
●	the current level of regulatory classified and criticized assets and the associated risk factors with each;
●	changes in underwriting standards or lending procedures and policies;
●	charge off and recovery practices;
●	national and local economic and business conditions;
●	nature and volume of loans;
●	overall portfolio quality;
●	adequacy of loan collateral;
●	quality of loan review system and degree of oversight by its Board of Directors;
●	competition and legal and regulatory requirements on borrowers;
●	examinations of the loan portfolio by federal and state regulatory agencies and examinations;
●	and review by our internal loan review department and independent accountants.

The data collected from all sources in determining the adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis by Management with regard to current national and local economic trends, prior loss history, underlying collateral values, credit concentrations and industry risks. An estimate of potential loss on specific loans is developed in conjunction with an overall risk evaluation of the total loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, and impaired. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Also, a specific reserve is allocated for our syndicated loans. The general component covers non-classified loans and special mention loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect Management's estimate of probable losses.

Provisions made pursuant to these processes totaled $0.3 million in the first three months of 2014 as compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2013. The provisions made in the first three months of 2014 were taken to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance proportionate to risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Total charge-offs were $1.1 million for first three months of 2014 as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2013. Recoveries totaled $0.1 million during the first three months of 2014 and $0.1 million during the first three months of 2013. For more information, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comparing March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2013, the decline in allowance provision is attributed to improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and to the fact that the impaired loan portfolio did not suffer additional declines in estimated fair value. The credit quality improvements were across most loan portfolio types with the largest improvement in non-farm non-residential loans, commercial and industrial loans, and construction and land development.

The Company charged off $1.1 million in loan balances for the first quarter of 2014. The amounts were partial charge offs concentrated in two loan relationships which totaled $0.9 million or 81.9% of the total charged off amount. The charge offs were provided for in prior periods as specific reserves for these loans. The details of the charged off loans in excess of $0.3 million are as follows:

1.	The Company charged of $0.4 million on a non-farm non-residential loan secured by a hotel. The non-accrual loan had further deterioration in value which required the additional write down.
2.	The Company charged of $0.5 million on a non-farm non-residential loan secured by a hotel. The non-accrual loan had further deterioration in value which required the additional write down.

The remaining $0.2 million of charge-offs for the first quarter of 2014 were comprised of smaller loans and overdrawn deposit accounts.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had classified $27.3 million in loans as impaired compared to $29.9 million as of December 31, 2013 . The $2.6 million reduction in impaired loans was principally due to a $0.6 million credit relationship that was no longer considered impaired in the first quarter of 2014. $0.9 million of the reduction in impaired loans was due to charge-offs . $0.6 million was due to principal payments on impaired loans.

All accrued but uncollected interest related to a loan is deducted from income in the period the loan is placed on nonaccrual. During the period a loan is in nonaccrual status, any cash receipts are first applied to the principal balance. Once the principal balance has been fully recovered, any residual amounts are applied to expenses resulting from the collection of the payment and to the recovery of any reversed interest income and interest income that would have been due had the loan not been nonaccrual. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $12.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014 was $9.6 million or 1.35% of total loans and 73.3% of nonperforming loans. See Note 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits .

Managing the mix and pricing the maturities of deposit liabilities is an important factor affecting our ability to maximize our net interest margin. The strategies used to manage interest-bearing deposit liabilities are designed to adjust as the interest rate environment changes. In this regard, management regularly assesses our funding needs, deposit pricing and interest rate outlooks. From December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, total deposits decreased $6.3 million, or 0.5%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2014. Average Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $6.0 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014. Average Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $70.9 million when comparing March 31, 2014 to December 31, 2013. Average time deposits decreased $12.8 million, or 2.0% to $638.2 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $648.4 million at December 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2014, public fund deposits totaled $516.9 million. During the first three months of 2014, public fund deposits increased $13.4 million. This increase is due to the seasonal fluctuation of public funds. The Company has developed a program for the development and management of public fund deposits. Since 2007, the Company has maintained public fund deposits in excess of $175.0 million. These deposits are from local government entities such as school districts, hospital districts, sheriff departments and other municipalities. Several of these accounts are under contracts with terms up to three years. Public funds deposit accounts are collateralized by FHLB letters of credit and by eligible government agency securities such as those issued by the FHLB, FFCB, FNMA, and FHLMC. Management believes that public funds provide a low cost and stable source of funding for the Company.

As of March 31, 2014, the aggregate amount of outstanding certificates of deposit in amounts greater than or equal to $100,000 was approximately $436.8 million. At March 31, 2014, approximately $226.4 million of the Company's certificates of deposit had a remaining term greater than one year.

As we seek to maintain a strong net interest margin and improve our earnings, attracting core noninterest-bearing deposits will remain a primary emphasis. Management will continue to evaluate and update our product mix in its efforts to attract additional core customers. We currently offer a number of noninterest-bearing deposit products that are competitively priced and designed to attract and retain customers with primary emphasis on core deposits. We have also offered several different time deposit promotions in an effort to increase our core deposits and to increase liquidity.

Borrowings .

The Company maintains borrowing relationships with other financial institutions as well as the Federal Home Loan Bank on a short and long-term basis to meet liquidity needs. At March 31, 2014, short-term borrowings totaled $10.2 million which is an increase of $4.4 million from December 31, 2013, and consisted of repurchase agreements of $8.4 million and a line of credit totaling $1.8 million. The increase in short term borrowings was concentrated in the change in repurchase agreements. Overnight repurchase agreement balances are monitored daily for sufficient collateralization. The Company had long-term borrowings totaling $0.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2013.

The average amount of total short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $13.1 million, compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Company had $100.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit outstanding obtained solely for collateralizing our public deposits.

Equity.

Stockholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and the ability to absorb unforeseen adverse developments. Total equity increased to $129.5 million as of March 31, 2014 from $123.4 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in stockholders' equity was primarily the result of the increase in other comprehensive income totaling $4.4 million and net earnings of $2.8 million. The earnings for the quarter are reduced by common dividends of $1.0 million and preferred dividends of $0.1 million for a total addition to the Company's retained earnings of $1.7 million.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Income.

Net Income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.8 million, a increase of $0.7 million or 33.3% from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.7 million which is a increase of $0.9 million from $1.8 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in income can mainly be attributed to an increase in loan interest income of $0.4 million, a reduction in interest expense of $0.6 million and a decrease in provision expense of $0.6 million. Interest and fee income on loans was $9.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014; an increase of $0.4 million from $9.1 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in loan interest income can be mainly attributed to an increase in the volume of loans originated when compared to March 31, 2013. Interest expense for the first three months of 2013 totaled $2.4 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from $2.9 million for the first three months of 2013. The changes in interest earnings and expenses resulted in a net interest income increase of $0.9 million to $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 when compared to $9.6 million for the same period in 2013. The provision for loan losses decreased $0.6 million from $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2014. Net gains on securities for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 were $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Noninterest expense decreased $0.1 million primarily from decreased expenses associated with other real estate and various other non-interest expenses. The provision for income tax expense increased by $0.3 million to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in tax expense is a result of the increase in income for the quarter. Earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $0.43, an increase of $0.14, or 48.3% per common share from $0.29 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net Interest Income.

Net interest income is the largest component of our earnings, and is calculated by subtracting the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the income earned on interest-earning assets. This represents the earnings from our primary business of gathering deposits, and making loans and investments. Our long-term objective is to manage this income to generate optimal income that balances interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risks.

A financial institution’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of a non-financial company, in that virtually all assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Accordingly, changes in interest rates, which are generally impacted by inflation rates, may have a significant impact on a financial institution’s performance. The impact of interest rate changes depends on the sensitivity to the change of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The effects of the varying interest rate environment in recent years and our interest sensitivity position is discussed below.

Net interest income in the first quarter of 2014 was $10.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 9.8%, when compared to $9.6 million in 2013. For the first quarter of 2014, loans and securities made up 49.8% and 45.5% of the average interest-earning assets, respectively; 47.0% of our loans are floating rate loans which are primarily tied to the prime lending rate or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). For the same period in 2013 loans and securities represented 46.2% and 47.9% of interest-earning assets, respectively. The cost of our interest-bearing liabilities reflects a lower cost of funds paid on interest-bearing deposits. As of March 31, 2014, time deposits represented 49.3% of total deposits, which is a decrease from 53.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2013.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 3.72% at March 31, 2013 to 3.69% at March 31, 2014. This is largely attributable to the 0.38% decrease in the average yield on loans from 5.86% at March 31, 2013 to 5.48% at March 31, 2014. The interest-bearing liabilities average cost decreased to 0.85% at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.11% at March 31, 2013. The average borrowing costs decreased slightly from 0.98% at March 31, 2013 to 0.96% at March 31, 2014. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 2.61% for the same period in 2013.

The net interest income yield shown below in the average balance sheet is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and is a measure of the efficiency of the earnings from balance sheet activities. It is affected by changes in the difference between interest on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the percentage of interest-earning assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses.

The provision for loan losses was $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The lower 2014 provision was based on an assessment of the loan portfolio as well as other qualitative and quantitative factors considered by the Company's management team. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014 was $9.6 million, compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2013, and was 1.35% and 1.48% of total loans, respectively. The allowance for loan losses decreased due to the charge-off of loans that had specific allowances reserved. Management believes that the current level of the allowance is adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio given the current economic conditions, expected net charge-offs and nonperforming asset levels.

Noninterest Income.

Noninterest income totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014; a decrease of $0.6 million when compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net securities gains were $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Noninterest Expense.

Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, net cost from other real estate and repossessions, regulatory assessments and other types of expenses. Noninterest expense totaled $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $7.7 million for the same period in 2013. Salaries and benefits increased $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $3.8 million compared to $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $1.0 million in first quarter of 2013. Other noninterest expense totaled $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $3.2 million the first quarter of 2013.

The following is a summary of the significant components of other noninterest expense:

(in thousands)	As of March 31, 2014		As of March 31, 2013
Other noninterest expense:
Legal and professional fees	$	457	$	522
Data processing		274		330

Regulatory assessment		361		476
Other		869		907
Total other expense	$	2,801	$	3,197

Income Taxes.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes is a result of higher income for the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013. The Company's statutory tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was 34.5%; this is relatively unchanged from 34.5% for the first quarter of 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management.

Our asset/liability management (ALM) process consists of quantifying, analyzing and controlling interest rate risk (IRR) to maintain reasonably stable net interest income levels under various interest rate environments. The principal objective of ALM is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and to maintain adequate levels of liquidity.

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans secured by real estate and fixed rate securities in our investment portfolio, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Board of Directors has established two committees, the Management Asset Liability Committee and the Board Investment Committee, to oversee the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Management Asset Liability Committee is comprised of senior members of Management and meets as needed to review our asset liability policies and interest rate risk position. The Board Investment Committee is comprised of board members and meets monthly. Senior Management makes a monthly report to the Board Investment Committee.

The interest spread and liability funding discussed below are directly related to changes in asset and liability mixes, volumes, maturities and repricing opportunities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those which are subject to repricing in the near term, including both floating or adjustable rate instruments and instruments approaching maturity. The interest sensitivity gap is the difference between total interest-sensitive assets and total interest-sensitive liabilities. Interest rates on our various asset and liability categories do not respond uniformly to changing market conditions. Interest rate risk is the degree to which interest rate fluctuations in the marketplace can affect net interest income.

To maximize our margin, we attempt to be somewhat more asset sensitive during periods of rising rates and more liability sensitive during periods of falling rates. The need for interest sensitivity gap management is most critical in times of rapid changes in overall interest rates. We generally seek to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by maintaining a relatively balanced mix of rate sensitive assets and liabilities on a one-year time horizon. The mix is relatively difficult to manage. Because of the significant impact on net interest margin from mismatches in repricing opportunities, the asset-liability mix is monitored periodically depending upon Management’s assessment of current business conditions and the interest rate outlook. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is maintained within prudent levels by the use of varying investment strategies.

The following interest sensitivity analysis is one measurement of interest rate risk and is set forth on the following table. This analysis, which we prepare monthly, reflects the contractual maturity characteristics of assets and liabilities over various time periods. This analysis does not factor in prepayments which may significantly change the report. This table includes nonaccrual loans in their respective maturity periods. The gap indicates whether more assets or liabilities are subject to repricing over a given time period. The interest sensitivity analysis at March 31, 2014 shown below reflects a liability-sensitive position with a negative cumulative gap on a one-year basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity.

Liquidity refers to the ability or flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available to meet customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. Liquid assets include cash and due from banks, interest-earning demand deposits with banks, federal funds sold and available for sale investment securities.

Loans maturing within one year or less at March 31, 2014 totaled $135.7 million. At March 31, 2014, time deposits maturing within one year or less totaled $413.5 million.

The Company maintained a net borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $106.1 million and $99.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We also maintain federal funds lines of credit at various correspondent banks with borrowing capacity of $70.5 million and a revolving line of credit for $2.5 million with an availability of $0.7 million as of March 31, 2014; this excludes the availability with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company had a $1.8 million outstanding balance on these lines of credit as of March 31, 2014. Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to satisfy current operating needs.

Capital Resources.

The Company's capital position is reflected in stockholders’ equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. Further, our capital base allows us to take advantage of business opportunities while maintaining the level of resources we deem appropriate to address business risks inherent in daily operations.

Stockholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and the ability to absorb unforeseen adverse developments. Total equity increased to $129.5 million as of March 31, 2014 from $123.4 million at December 31, 2013. The in crease in stockholders' equity was the result of the increase in other comprehensive income totaling $4.4 million. The earnings for the quarter are reduced by common dividends of $1.0 million and preferred dividends of $0.1 million for a total addition to the Company's retained earnings of $1.7 million.

Regulatory Capital .

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the FDIC require banks to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Similar capital regulations apply to bank holding companies. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure “Tier 1” capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income) and total capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off- balance sheet items. Under the guidelines, one of its risk weights is applied to the different on balance sheet items. Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk weighting. All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core or Tier 1 capital. These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

At March 31, 2014, we satisfied the minimum regulatory capital requirements and were well capitalized within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.

	"Well Capitalized Minimums"		As of March 31, 2014		As of December 31, 2013
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
Consolidated	5.00	%	8.97	%	9.14	%
Bank	5.00	%	8.99	%	9.17	%

Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	6.00	%	13.88	%	13.61	%
Bank	6.00	%	13.91	%	13.66	%

Total Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	10.00	%	14.90	%	14.71	%
Bank	10.00	%	14.93	%	14.76	%

At March 31, 2014, we satisfied the minimum regulatory capital requirements and were well capitalized within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.
