Currently, the Corporation must obtain regulatory approval prior to paying any dividends on
these trust preferred securities. The Federal Reserve approved the timely payment of the
Corporations semi-annual distributions on its trust preferred securities in January and March,
2005.
NOTE 10 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
During the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation issued 925,636 shares of its common stock at
$8.17 per share, the then current market price, to the new members of the management team and other
investors, in a private placement. The Corporation received proceeds, net of issuance cost, of
$7,328,000.
On April 1, 2002, the Corporation issued 157,500 shares of restricted common stock to certain
directors and key employees pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan.
Under the Restricted Stock Agreements, the stock may not be sold or assigned in any manner for a
five-year period that began on April 1, 2002. During this restricted period, the participant is
eligible to receive dividends and exercise voting privileges. The restricted stock also has a
corresponding vesting period, with one-third vesting at the end of each of the third, fourth and
fifth years. The restricted stock was issued at $7.00 per share, or $1,120,000, and classified as a
contra-equity account, Unearned restricted stock, in stockholders equity. During 2003, 15,000
shares of this restricted common stock were forfeited. On January 24, 2005, the Corporation issued
49,375 additional shares of restricted common stock to certain key employees. Under the terms of
the management separation agreement (see Note 3) entered into during the first quarter of 2005,
vesting was accelerated on 99,375 shares of restricted stock. Restricted shares outstanding as of
March 31, 2005 were 92,500 and the remaining amount in the unearned restricted stock account is
$333,000. This balance is being amortized as expense as the stock is earned during the restricted
period. The amounts of restricted shares are included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation, using the treasury stock method, until the shares vest.
Once vested, the shares become outstanding for basic earnings per share. For the periods ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Corporation recognized $519,000 and $50,000, respectively, in
restricted stock expense. Of the $519,000 expense in 2005, $486,000 is related to the accelerated
vesting from the management separation agreements and is included in the amount of management
separation cost.
The Corporation adopted a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the ESOP) effective May 15,
2002 that covers all eligible employees that have attained the age of twenty-one and have completed
a year of service. As of March 31, 2005, the ESOP has been leveraged with 273,400 shares of the
Corporations common stock purchased in the open market and classified as a contra-equity account,
Unearned ESOP shares, in stockholders equity.
On January 29, 2003, the ESOP trustees finalized a $2,100,000 promissory note to reimburse the
Corporation for the funds used to leverage the ESOP. The unreleased shares and a guarantee of the
Corporation secure the promissory note, which has been classified as a note payable on the
Corporations statement of financial condition. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from
collateral based on the proportion of debt service. Principal payments on the debt are $17,500 per
month for 120 months. The interest rate is adjusted annually to the Wall Street Journal prime rate.
Released shares are allocated to eligible employees at the end of the plan year based on the
employees eligible compensation to total compensation. The Corporation recognizes compensation
expense during the period as the shares are earned and committed to be released. As shares are
committed to be released and compensation expense is recognized, the shares become outstanding for
basic and diluted earnings per share computations. The amount of compensation expense reported by
the Corporation is equal to the average fair value of the shares earned and committed to be
released during the period.
Compensation expense that the Corporation recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2005 and
2004 was $66,000 and $52,000, respectively. The ESOP shares as of March 31, 2005 were as follows:

The Corporation has established a stock incentive plan for directors and certain key employees that
provides for the granting of restricted stock and incentive and nonqualified options to purchase up
to 2,500,000 shares of the Corporations common stock. The compensation committee of the Board
determines the terms of the restricted stock and options granted.
11
All options granted have a maximum term of ten years from the grant date, and the option price per
share of options granted cannot be less than the fair market value of the Corporations common
stock on the grant date. All options granted under this plan vest 20% on the grant date and an
additional 20% annually on the anniversary of the grant date.
In addition, the Corporation granted 1,423,940 options to the new management team. These options
have an exercise price of $8.17 per share. They have a ten year term and a tiered vesting schedule
as discussed in Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporations
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The Corporation has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123) which allows an entity
to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value-based method of
accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The
Corporation has elected to follow APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options. Accordingly, compensation cost for fixed and variable stock-based awards is
measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market price of the underlying stock over the amount
the individual is required to pay. Compensation cost for fixed awards is measured at the grant
date, while compensation cost for variable awards is estimated until both the number of shares an
individual is entitled to receive and the exercise or purchase price are known (measurement date).
No option-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had
an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The pro forma information below was determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its employee
stock options under the fair value method of Statement 123. For purposes of pro forma disclosures,
the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Basis
of Presentation
The following is a discussion and analysis of our March 31, 2005 consolidated financial condition
and results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 (first quarter of 2005)
and 2004 (first quarter of 2004). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles.
This information should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004.
Restated Results of Operations and Financial Condition:
We
are restating our previously reported financial information for the first quarter of
2005 to correct errors in those consolidated financial statements relating to its derivative
accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133).
In 2005 and prior years, we entered into interest rate swap agreements (CD swaps) to
hedge the interest rate risk inherent in certain of our brokered certificates of deposit (brokered
CDs). From the inception of the hedging program, we applied a method of fair value hedge accounting
under SFAS 133 to account for the CD swaps that allowed us to assume no ineffectiveness in these
transactions (the so-called short-cut method). We have recently concluded that the CD swaps did
not qualify for this method in prior periods because the related CD broker placement fee was
determined, in retrospect, to have caused the swap not to have a fair value of zero at inception
(which is required under SFAS 133 to qualify for the short-cut method).
Fair value hedge accounting allows a company to record the effective portion of the change in
fair value of the hedged item (in this case, the brokered CDs) as an adjustment to income that
offsets the fair value adjustment on the related interest rate swaps. Eliminating the application
of fair value hedge accounting reverses the fair value adjustments that were made to the brokered
CDs. Therefore, while the interest rate swap is recorded on the consolidated statement of condition
at its fair value, the related hedged item, the brokered CDs, are required to be carried at par,
net of the unamortized balance of the CD broker placement fee. In addition, the CD broker placement
fee, which was incorporated into the swap, is now separately recorded as an adjustment to the par
amount of the brokered CDs and amortized through the maturity date of the related CDs.
The net cumulative pre-tax effect of eliminating the fair value adjustment to the brokered CDs
at March 31, 2005 is $230,000 (representing a $962,000 elimination of the fair value adjustment to
the brokered CDs less a $732,000 adjustment to record the unamortized CD broker placement fees).
The cumulative after-tax impact was a $145,000 reduction to retained earnings. Although these CD
swaps cannot retrospectively qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, there is no effect on
cash flows for these changes, and the effectiveness of the CD swaps as economic hedge transactions
has not been affected by these changes in accounting treatment. The increase to previously reported
net loss and reduction in retained earnings did not cause any violation of our debt covenants and
did not cause either our or our subsidiary banks regulatory capital ratios to fall below the
well-capitalized levels at the end of the period.
Overview
Our principal subsidiary is The Bank, an Alabama-chartered financial institution headquartered in
Birmingham, Alabama, which operates 26 banking offices in Alabama and the eastern panhandle of
Florida. Other subsidiaries include TBC Capital Statutory Trust II (TBC Capital II), a
Connecticut statutory trust, TBC Capital Statutory Trust III (TBC Capital III), a Delaware
business trust, and Morris Avenue Management Group, Inc. (MAMG), an Alabama corporation, all of
which are wholly owned. TBC Capital II and TBC Capital III are unconsolidated special purpose
entities formed solely to issue cumulative trust preferred securities. MAMG is a real estate
management company that manages our headquarters, our branch facilities and certain other real
estate owned by The Bank.
Our total assets were $1.427 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of $3.7 million, or .26%, from
$1.423 billion as of December 31, 2004. Our total loans, net of unearned income, were $942 million
at March 31, 2005, an increase of $7.5 million, or .80%, from $935 million as of December 31, 2004.
Our total deposits were $1.079 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of $12.1 million, or 1.14%,
13
from $1.067 billion as of December 31, 2004. Our total stockholders equity was $99.0 million at
March 31, 2005, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 1.53%, from $100.5 million as of December 31, 2004.
On January 24, 2005, we announced that we had entered into a series of executive management change
agreements. These agreements set forth the employment of C. Stanley Bailey as Chief Executive
Officer and a director of the corporation and chairman of our banking subsidiary, C. Marvin Scott
as President of the corporation and our banking subsidiary, and Rick D. Gardner as Chief Operating
Officer of the corporation and our banking subsidiary. These agreements also provided for the
purchase by Mr. Bailey, Mr. Scott and Mr. Gardner, along with other investors, of 925,636 shares of
common stock of the corporation at $8.17 per share. We also entered into agreements with James A.
Taylor and James A. Taylor, Jr. that would allow them continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of
the corporation and as a director of the corporation, respectively, but would cease their
employment as officers and directors of our banking subsidiary.
Under the agreement with Mr. Taylor, in lieu of the payments to which he would have been entitled
under his employment agreement, we paid to Mr. Taylor $3,940,155 on January 24, 2005 and are
scheduled to pay an additional $3,152,124 on January 24, 2006, and $788,031 on January 24, 2007.
The agreement also provides for the provision of certain insurance benefits to Mr. Taylor, the
transfer of a key man life insurance policy to Mr. Taylor, and the maintenance of such policy by
us for five years (with the cost of maintaining such policy included in the above amounts), in each
case substantially as required by his employment agreement. This obligation to provide such
payments and benefits to Mr. Taylor is absolute and will survive the death or disability of Mr.
Taylor.
Under the agreement with Mr. Taylor, Jr., in lieu of the payments to which he would have been
entitled under his employment agreement, we paid to Mr. Taylor, Jr., $1,382,872 on January 24,
2005. The agreement also provides for the provision of certain insurance benefits to Mr. Taylor,
Jr. and for the immediate vesting of his unvested incentive awards and deferred compensation in
each case substantially as required by his employment agreement. This obligation to provide such
payments and benefits to Mr. Taylor, Jr. is absolute and will survive the death or disability of
Mr. Taylor, Jr..
In connection with the above management separation transaction, we recognized pre-tax expenses of
$12.4 million in the first quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2005, we had $4.2 million of accrued
liabilities related to these agreements. See Note 24 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for further
information.
Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The
provision for loan losses represents the amount determined by management necessary to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at a level capable of absorbing inherent losses in the loan portfolio.
Managements determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which is based on the
factors and risk identification procedures discussed in the following pages, requires the use of
judgments and estimates that may change in the future. Changes in the factors used by management to
determine the adequacy of the allowance or the availability of new information could cause the
allowance for loan losses to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank
regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, may require that additions or reductions
be made to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments and estimates.
Results
of Operations
We incurred an $8.16 million net loss for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $1.23 million net
income for the first quarter of 2004. Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share was
$(.44) and $.07, respectively, for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, based on weighted average
shares outstanding for the respective periods. Return on average assets, on an annualized basis,
was (2.31)% for the first quarter of 2005 compared to .41% for the first quarter of 2004. Return on
average stockholders equity, on an annualized basis, was (32.80)% for the first quarter of 2005
compared to 4.91% for the first quarter of 2004. Book value per share at March 31, 2005 was $4.95,
compared to $5.31 as of December 31, 2004. Tangible book value per share at March 31, 2005 was
$4.29, compared to $4.62 as of December 31, 2004.
The decrease in our net income during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of
2004 is the result of certain nonoperating charges related to the management changes which occurred
in the first quarter of 2005, the recognition of losses in the bond portfolio and losses from the
sale of certain assets (see notes 3 and 4 in the condensed consolidated financial statements and
the noninterest income and noninterest expenses sections of managements discussion and analysis).
Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities used to support such assets. Net interest income
increased $682,000, or 7.64%, to $9.6 million for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $8.9
million for the first quarter of 2004. Net interest income increased primarily due to a $2.7
million increase in total
14
interest income offset by a $2.0 increase in total interest expense. The
increase in total interest income is primarily due to a $95.6 million increase in the average
volume of loans and a $121.4 million increase in the average volume of investment securities.
The increase in total interest expense is attributable to a 24 basis point increase in the average
interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a $207 million increase in the volume of
average interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was
2.84% for the first quarter of 2005, compared to 2.60% for the first quarter of 2004. Our net
interest spread and net interest margin were 2.94% and 3.06%, respectively, for the first quarter
of 2005, compared to 3.22% and 3.35% for the first quarter of 2004.
Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2005 increased $206 million, or 19.2%, to
$1.277 billion from $1.071 billion in the first quarter of 2004. This increase in average
interest-earning assets was offset by a $208 million, or 20.4%, increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities, to $1.224 billion for the first quarter of 2005 from $1.016 billion
for the first quarter of 2004. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities was 104.4% and 105.4% for the first quarters of 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Average interest-bearing assets produced a taxable equivalent yield of 5.78% for the
first quarter of 2005 compared to 5.82% for the first quarter of 2004.
Average Balances, Income, Expense and Rates. The following table depicts, on a taxable
equivalent basis for the periods indicated, certain information related to our average balance
sheet and average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Average yields are calculated
by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities.
Average balances have been calculated on a daily basis.

The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to volume and rate
changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in
each. |
Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $2.7 million, or 68.6%, to $1.3 million for the
first quarter of 2005 from $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to the
$739,000 gain we realized on the sale of our Morris branch during the first quarter of 2004
combined with the $909,000 loss we realized in 2005 in our investment securities portfolio and
$230,000 decline in the fair value of our interest rate swaps ( See Note 1 to financial
statements). The investment portfolio losses were realized as a result of a $50 million sale of
bonds in the investment portfolio that closed in April 2005. We reinvested the proceeds in bonds
intended to enhance the yield and cash flows of our investment securities portfolio. The new
investment securities will be classified as available for sale. Service charges and fees on
deposits decreased $279,000, or 20.1%, to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 from $1.4
million in the first quarter of 2004. This decrease is primarily due to a loss of transaction
accounts from 2004 to 2005. Management is currently pursuing new accounts and customers through
direct marketing and other promotional efforts to increase this source of revenue. Mortgage banking
income increased $42,000, or 10.4%, to $446,000 in the first quarter of 2005 from $404,000 in the
first quarter of 2004.
Noninterest expenses. Noninterest expenses increased $12.0 million, or 105.4%, to $23.3 million for
the first quarter of 2005 from $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2004. This increase is
primarily due to the management separation costs of $12.4 million incurred in the first quarter of
2005. The management separation charges primarily include severance payments, accelerated vesting
of restricted stock and professional fees (see note 3 in the condensed consolidated financial
statements). Salaries and benefits decreased $184,000, or 3.3%, to $5.4 million for the first
quarter of 2005 from $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2004. Occupancy expenses decreased
$183,000, or 8.5%, to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2005 from $2.2 million for the first
quarter of 2004. We also realized a $355,000 loss on the sale of our corporate aircraft in the
first quarter of 2005.
Income tax expense. An income tax benefit of $5.05 million was recognized for the first quarter of
2005, compared to income tax expense of $319,000 for the first quarter of 2004. The primary
difference in the effective rate and the federal statutory rate (34%) for the first quarter of 2005
and 2004 is due to certain tax-exempt income from investments and insurance policies.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses represents the amount determined by
management necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level capable of absorbing
inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan loss calculation is segregated into various
segments that
17
include classified loans, loans with specific allocations and pass rated loans. A pass rated loan
is generally characterized by a very low to average risk of default and in which management
perceives there is a minimal risk of loss. Loans are rated using an eight-point scale, with loan
officers having the primary responsibility for assigning risk ratings and for the timely reporting
of changes in the risk ratings. These processes, and the assigned risk ratings, are subject to
review by our internal loan review function and senior management. Based on the assigned risk
ratings, the criticized and classified loans in the portfolio are segregated into the following
regulatory classifications: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. Generally, regulatory
reserve percentages are applied to these categories to estimate the amount of loan loss allowance,
adjusted for previously mentioned risk factors. Impaired loans are reviewed specifically and
separately under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Statement No. 114 to
determine the appropriate reserve allocation. Management compares the investment in an impaired
loan with the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective
interest rate, the loans observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan
is collateral-dependent, to determine the specific reserve allowance. Reserve percentages assigned
to non-rated loans are based on historical charge-off experience adjusted for other risk factors.
To evaluate the overall adequacy of the allowance to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio,
management considers historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans, trends in
classifications, volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, economic conditions and other
pertinent information. Based on future evaluations, additional provisions for loan losses may be
necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. See Financial
Condition Allowance for Loan Losses for additional discussion.
The provision for loan losses was $750,000 for the first quarter of 2005. We did not record a
provision for loan loss in the first quarter of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, we had net
charged-off loans totaling $336,000, compared to net charged-off loans of $2.6 million in the first
quarter of 2004. The annualized ratio of net charged-off loans to average loans was .14% in the
first quarter of 2005, compared to 1.20% for the first quarter of 2004 and 1.52% for the year 2004.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $13.0 million, or 1.37% of loans, net of unearned income at
March 31, 2005, compared to $12.5 million, or 1.34% of loans, net of unearned income, at December
31, 2004. See Financial Condition Allowance for Loan Losses for additional discussion.
Financial
Condition

deposits in other banks and federal funds sold) decreased $5.3 million, or 11.6%, to $40.6 million
at March 31, 2005 from $45.9 million at December 31, 2004. At March 31, 2005, short-term liquid
assets comprised 2.9% of total assets, compared to 3.2% at December 31, 2004. We continually
monitor our liquidity position and will increase or decrease our short-term liquid assets as we
deem necessary.

million at March 31, 2005, from $288.3 million at December 31, 2004. Mortgage-backed securities,
which comprised 21.7% of the total investment portfolio at March 31, 2005, decreased $3.3 million,
or 5.4%, to $57.3 million from $60.6 million at December 31, 2004. Investments in U.S. agency
securities, which comprised 58.5% of the total investment portfolio at March 31, 2005, decreased

first quarter of 2005, we had a $50 million sale of bonds in the investment portfolio that closed
in April 2005. We reinvested the proceeds in bonds intended to enhance the yield and cash flows of
our investment securities portfolio. The new investment securities will be classified as available
for sale. The total investment portfolio at March 31, 2005 comprised 21.6% of all interest-earning
assets compared to 22.8% at December 31, 2004 and produced an average taxable equivalent yield of
4.3% for the first quarter of 2005 and 2004.
Loans. Loans, net of unearned income, totaled $942.4 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of
.80%, or $7.5 million, from $934.9 million at December 31, 2004. Mortgage loans held for sale
totaled $22.0 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of $13.9 million from $8.1 million at December
31, 2004. Average loans, including mortgage loans held for sale, totaled $953.9 million for the
first quarter of 2005 compared to $858.2 million for the first quarter of 2004. Loans, net of
unearned income, comprised 75.01% of interest-earning assets at March 31, 2005, compared to 73.88%
at December 31, 2004. Mortgage loans held for sale comprised 1.75% of interest-earning assets at
March 31, 2005, compared to .6% at December 31, 2004. The loan portfolio produced an average yield
of 6.3% for the first quarter of 2005, compared to 6.4% for the first quarter of 2004. The
following table details the distribution of the loan portfolio by category as of March 31, 2005 and

Deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $93.5 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of
4.5%, or $4.0 million, from $89.5 million at December 31, 2004. Noninterest-bearing deposits
comprised 8.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2005, compared to 8.4% at December 31, 2004. Of total
noninterest-bearing deposits $69.0 million, or 73.8%, were in the Alabama branches while $24.5
million, or 26.2%, were in the Florida branches.
Interest-bearing deposits totaled $986.1 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of .83%, or $8.4
million, from $977.7 million at December 31, 2004. Interest-bearing deposits averaged $989.1
million for the first quarter of 2005 compared to $812.2 million for the first quarter of 2004. The
average rate paid on all interest-bearing deposits during the first quarter of 2005 was 2.5%,
compared to 2.1% for the first quarter of 2004. Of total interest-bearing deposits, $731.4 million,
or 74.2%, were in the Alabama branches while $254.7 million, or 25.8%, were in the Florida
branches.
Borrowings. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaled $146.1 million at March 31,
2005 and $156.1 million at December 31, 2004. Borrowings from the FHLB were used primarily to fund
growth in the loan portfolio and have a weighted average rate of approximately 4.04% at March 31,
2005. The advances are secured by FHLB stock, agency securities and a blanket lien on certain
residential real estate loans and commercial loans. The FHLB has issued for the benefit of our
banking subsidiary a $20,000,000 irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Chief Financial
Officer of the State of Florida to secure certain deposits of the State of Florida. The letter of
credit expires January 6, 2006 upon sixty days prior notice; otherwise, it will automatically
extend for a successive one-year term.
Junior Subordinated Debentures. We have sponsored two trusts, TBC Capital Statutory Trust II (TBC
Capital II) and TBC Capital Statutory Trust III (TBC Capital III), of which we own 100% of the
common. The trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing mandatory redeemable trust preferred
securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of such trust
preferred securities solely in our junior subordinated debt securities (the debentures). The
debentures held by each trust are the sole assets of that trust. Distributions on the trust
preferred securities issued by each trust are payable semi-annually at a rate per annum equal to
the interest rate being earned by the trust on the debentures held by that trust. The trust
preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of
the debentures. We have entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and
unconditionally guarantee the trust preferred securities subject to the terms of each of the

redeemable, in whole or in part, by us on September 7, 2010 and July 25, 2006, respectively.
The trust preferred securities held by the trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve

As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the interest rate on the $16,495,000 subordinated
debentures was 6.71% and 5.74%, respectively.
Currently, we must obtain regulatory approval prior to paying any dividends on these trust
preferred securities. The Federal Reserve approved the timely payment of our semi-annual
distributions on our trust preferred securities in January and March, 2005.
Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses within a range we believe is
adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We prepare a quarterly analysis
to assess the risk in the loan portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. Generally, we estimate the allowance using specific reserves for impaired loans, and other
factors, such as historical loss experience based on volume and types of loans, trends in
classifications, volume and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, economic conditions and other
pertinent information. The level of allowance for loan losses to net loans will vary depending on
the quarterly analysis.
We manage and control risk in the loan portfolio through adherence to credit standards established
by the board of directors and implemented by senior management. These standards are set forth in a
formal loan policy, which establishes loan underwriting and approval procedures, sets limits on
credit concentration and enforces regulatory requirements. In addition, we have engaged Credit Risk
Management, LLC, an independent loan review firm, to supplement our existing independent loan
review function.
Loan portfolio concentration risk is reduced through concentration limits for borrowers, collateral
types and geographic diversification. Concentration risk is measured and reported to senior
management and the board of directors on a regular basis.
The allowance for loan loss calculation is segregated into various segments that include classified
loans, loans with specific allocations and pass rated loans. A pass rated loan is generally
characterized by a very low to average risk of default and in which management perceives there is a
minimal risk of loss. Loans are rated using an eight-point scale, with the loan officer having the
primary responsibility for assigning risk ratings and for the timely reporting of changes in the
risk ratings. These processes, and the assigned risk ratings, are subject to review by our internal
loan review function and senior management. Based on the assigned risk ratings, the criticized and
classified loans in the portfolio are segregated into the following regulatory classifications:
Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. Generally, regulatory reserve percentages (5%,
Special Mention; 15%, Substandard; 50%, Doubtful; 100%, Loss) are applied to these categories to
estimate the amount of loan loss allowance required, adjusted for previously mentioned risk
factors.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, impaired loans are specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable
that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement.
Impairment is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan with the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, at the loans
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A
valuation allowance is provided to the extent that the measure of the impaired loans is less than
the recorded investment. A loan is not considered impaired during a period of delay in payment if
we continue to expect that all amounts due will ultimately be collected. Larger groups of
homogenous loans such as consumer installment and residential real estate mortgage loans are
collectively evaluated for impairment.
Reserve percentages assigned to pass rated homogeneous loans are based on historical charge-off
experience adjusted for current trends in the portfolio and other risk factors.
As stated above, risk ratings are subject to independent review by internal loan review, which also
performs ongoing, independent review of the risk management process. The risk management process
includes underwriting, documentation and collateral control. Loan review is centralized and
independent of the lending function. The loan review results are reported to the Audit Committee of
the board of directors and senior management. We have also established a centralized loan
administration services department to serve our entire bank. This department will provide
standardized oversight for compliance with loan approval authorities and bank lending policies and
procedures, as well as centralized supervision, monitoring and accessibility.

A delinquent loan is placed on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days or more past due and
management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts,
that the borrowers financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. When a
loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan during the
current period but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported
interest income; any prior period accrued and unpaid interest is reversed and charged against the
allowance for loan losses. No additional interest income is accrued on the loan balance until the
collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is
finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual write-down or charge-off of the principal
balance of the loan to the allowance for loan losses, which may necessitate additional charges to
earnings.
Impaired Loans. At March 31, 2005, the recorded investment in impaired loans under FAS 114 totaled
$5.4 million, with approximately $1.9 million in allowance for loan losses specifically allocated
to impaired loans. This represents an increase of $300,000 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2004.

Potential Problem Loans. In addition to nonperforming loans, management has identified $140,000 in
potential problem loans as of March 31, 2005 compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2004.
Potential problem loans are loans where known information about possible credit problems of the
borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the
present repayment terms and may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming.
Stockholders Equity. At March 31, 2005, total stockholders equity was $99.0 million, a decrease
of $1.5 million from $100.5 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in stockholders equity
during the first quarter of 2005 resulted primarily from a net loss of $8.0 million offset by
additional net proceeds of $7.3 million resulting from the sale of 925,636 shares of our common
stock at $8.17 per share, the then current market price, to the new members of the management team
and other investors, in a private placement. As of March 31, 2005 we had 19,020,943 shares of
common stock issued and 18,756,632 outstanding. As of March 31, 2005, there were 52,914 shares held
in treasury at a cost of $368,000.
On April 1, 2002, we issued 157,500 shares of restricted common stock to certain directors and key
employees pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the
Restricted Stock Agreements, the stock may not be sold or assigned in any manner for a five-year
period that began on April 1, 2002. During this restricted period, the participant is eligible to
receive dividends and exercise voting privileges. The restricted stock also has a corresponding
vesting period with one-third vesting at the end of each of the third, fourth and fifth years. The
restricted stock was issued at $7.00 per share, or $1,120,000, and classified as a contra-equity
account, Unearned restricted stock, in stockholders equity. During 2003, 15,000 shares of this
restricted common stock were forfeited. On January 24, 2005, the Corporation issued 49,375
additional shares of restricted common stock to certain key employees. Under the terms of the
management separation agreement entered into during the first quarter of 2005, vesting was
accelerated on 99,375 shares of restricted stock. Restricted shares outstanding as of March 31,
2005 were 92,500 and the remaining amount in the unearned restricted stock account is $333,000.
This balance is being amortized as expense as the stock is earned during the restricted period. The
amounts of restricted shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation, using the
treasury stock method, until the shares vest. Once vested, the shares become outstanding for basic
earnings per share. For the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, we recognized $519,000 and
$50,000, respectively, in restricted stock expense. Of the $519,000 expense in 2005, $486,000 is
related to the accelerated vesting from the management separation agreements and is included in the
amount of management separation cost.
We adopted a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the ESOP) effective May 15, 2002 that
covers all eligible employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed a year of service.
As of March 31, 2005, the ESOP has been leveraged with 273,400 shares of the our common stock
purchased in the open market and classified as a contra-equity account, Unearned ESOP stock, in
stockholders equity.
On January 29, 2003, the ESOP trustees finalized a $2,100,000 promissory note to reimburse us for
the funds used to leverage the ESOP. The unreleased shares and our guarantee secure the promissory
note, which has been classified as long-term debt on our statement of financial condition. As the
debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral based on the proportion of debt service.
Principal payments on the debt are $17,500 per month for 120 months. The interest rate is adjusted
annually to the Wall Street Journal
prime rate. Released shares are allocated to eligible employees at the end of the plan year based
on the employees eligible compensation to total compensation. We recognize compensation expense
during the period as the shares are earned and committed to be released. As shares are committed to
be released and compensation expense is recognized, the shares become outstanding for basic and
diluted earnings per share computations. The amount of compensation expense we report is equal to
the average fair value of the shares earned and committed to be released during the period.
Compensation expense that we recognized during the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was
$66,000 and $52,000, respectively. The ESOP shares as of March 31, 2005 were as follows:

Liquidity
Our principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, federal
funds sold and maturities and sales of investment securities. In addition to these sources of
liquidity, we have access to purchased funds from several regional financial institutions, brokered
and internet deposits, and may borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank under a blanket floating lien
on certain commercial loans and residential real estate loans. Also, we have established certain
repurchase agreements with a large financial institution. While scheduled loan repayments and
maturing investments are relatively predictable, interest rates, general economic conditions and
competition primarily influence deposit flows and early loan payments. Management places constant
emphasis on the maintenance of adequate liquidity to meet conditions that might reasonably be
expected to occur. Management believes it has established sufficient sources of funds to meet its
anticipated liquidity needs.
Forward-Looking
Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements made by us or on our behalf. Some of the disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, including any statements preceded by, followed by or which include the words may, could,
should, will,
would, hope, might, believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, plan, assume
or similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the assumptions underlying the
statements and other information with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals,
expectations, anticipations, estimates, intentions, financial condition, results of operations,
future performance and business, including our expectations and estimates with respect to our
revenues, expenses, earnings, return on equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, asset quality,
the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and other financial data and capital and performance
ratios.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties which are subject to change based on
various important factors (some of which are beyond our control). The following factors, among
others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from our goals, plans,
objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements: (1) the strength of the
United States economy in general and the strength of the regional and local economies in which we
conduct operations; (2) the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and
laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (3)
inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; (4) our ability to successfully
integrate the assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management we acquire or merge into our
operations; (5) our timely development of new products and services in a changing environment,
including the features, pricing and quality compared to the products and services of our
competitors; (6) the willingness of users to substitute competitors products and services for our
products and services; (7) the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and
regulations, including laws, regulations and policies concerning taxes, banking, securities and
insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; (8) our ability to resolve any legal
proceeding on acceptable terms and its effect on our financial condition or results of operations;
(9) technological changes; (10) changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and (11)
regulatory, legal or judicial proceedings.
24
If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information and statements proves
incorrect, then our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those
expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this annual
report. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking information
and statements.
We do not intend to update our forward-looking information and statements, whether written or oral,
to reflect change. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by
these cautionary statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes in our quantitative or qualitative disclosures about market
risk as of March 31, 2005 from those presented in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
The information set forth under the caption Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Market Risk-Interest Rate Sensitivity included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, is hereby incorporated herein
by reference.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CEO AND PFO CERTIFICATION
Appearing as exhibits to this report are Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and
our Principal Financial Officer (PFO). The Certifications are required to be made by Rule 13a -
14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Item contains the information about the
evaluation that is referred to in the Certifications, and the information set forth below in this
Item 4 should be read in conjunction with the Certifications for a more complete understanding of
the Certifications.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and PFO, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure
controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives.
We originally conducted an evaluation (the Evaluation) of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our CEO and our then-serving Chief Financial Officer
(CFO), as of March 31, 2005. Based upon the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of
March 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material
information relating to The Banc Corporation and its subsidiaries is made known to management,
including the CEO and PFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being
prepared.
In connection with the amendment to our financial statements described in the Introductory Note and
Items 1 and 2 of this Amendment No. 1, we re-evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2005 and, in connection therewith, we identified the following material weakness in our
internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for hedge transactions: a
failure to ensure the correct application of generally accepted accounting principles, including
SFAS 133 and its related interpretations for certain derivative
transactions, as described in the Introductory Note, and failure to correct that error subsequently. Solely as a result of this material
weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March
31, 2005.
Simultaneously with the filing of this Amendment No. 1, we filed an amendment on Form 10-K/A to our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as previously amended,
reflecting the same material weakness as of that date and, for that
reason, concluding that our internal control over financial reporting
and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004. Other than as set
forth in that amendment and this Amendment no. 1, there have not been any changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
While we are a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, we
believe that there are no proceedings threatened or pending against us at this time that will
individually, or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations. We believe that we have strong claims and defenses in each lawsuit in which
we are involved. While we believe that we will prevail in each lawsuit, there can be no assurance
that the outcome of the pending, or any future, litigation, either individually or in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or our results of
operations.

None, other than as previously reported on Form 8-K.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
None.
