FIRST STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2008

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These
unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. As such they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to comply with Regulation S-X were included. The operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year of 2008.

NOTE 2  NEW ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a
restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

In February 2008, the FASB
issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on
a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and
liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is
effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

NOTE 3  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

First State Financial Corporations 2004 Stock Plan, which is
stockholder approved, permits the grant of share options for up to 500,000 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the plan, the option price is not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally
vest over five years and have a ten year contractual term. Certain awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plan).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted 71,250 stock options. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted 24,000 stock options.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 5,800 options vested and no options were exercised. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 6,400 options vested and 1,050 options were exercised.

NOTE 5  FAIR VALUE

Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active
markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level
1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use
in pricing an asset or liability.

Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes on securities with similar characteristics (Level 2
inputs).

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of available for sale securities. The fair value was derived based on market prices or dealer quotes on securities with similar characteristics (level 2) and
amounted to $63.4 million as of March 31, 2008.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of impaired loans. The fair value of certain assets was derived using significant other
observable inputs (level 2) and amounted to $13.8 million as of March 31, 2008. The fair value of certain other assets was derived using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) and amounted to $17.8 million as of March 31, 2008. Impaired
loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $39.0 million, with a valuation allowance of $7.4 million, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses
of $2.4 million for the period.

bank also initiated a $4,000 Federal Home Loan Bank advance with a variable interest rate.

|Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following commentary presents managements discussion and analysis of First State Financial Corporations financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008. It
should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included elsewhere in this report and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Corporations 2007 Annual Report on Form
10-K. In addition, the following discussion and analysis should be read together with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Corporations 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, which contains important additional information that is necessary to understand the Corporation and its financial condition and results of operations for the periods covered by this report.

As used in this report, the terms we, our, First State Financial, company, and corporation mean First State
Financial Corporation and its subsidiary unless the context indicates otherwise. The terms bank and First State Bank mean First State Bank. We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in
understanding our financial statements. We will discuss the changes in certain key items in those financial statements and the primary factors that accounted for those changes.

OVERVIEW

We are the parent of First State Bank, a community bank headquartered in Sarasota, Florida with offices in
Sarasota and Pinellas counties. The Bank is committed to growing by:



| |  |  | Providing customers with access to local executives;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pursuing commercial lending opportunities with small- to mid-sized businesses;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Developing new products and services to generate additional revenue sources;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Cross-selling products and services to existing customers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Adhering to sound credit standards and maintaining the continued quality of assets; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Acquiring and developing new branches within our geographical area.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the key developments during the first quarter of 2008 include:



| |  |  | The purchase of $23.1 million in securities to increase the duration of interest earning assets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Plans to open two new branches over the next 12 months: Branches opening in Clearwater and Venice in the 2ndquarter of 2008.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net loss of $1.1 million primarily due to an increase of the loan loss provision.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We continue to face a variety of challenges and opportunities inherent within the banking industry which are characterized by the uncertainty in the timing of interest rate changes, credit quality and intense
competition. The Company continues to position itself to better serve its customers in the Pinellas and Sarasota markets. As part of our strategic plan, the management team and employees will continue to build upon our past successes by building
customer relationships, monitoring credit quality, monitoring our margin, and expanding our presence within our geographical market.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008:

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings. Net interest income is comprised of interest income, and loan-related fees, less
interest expense. Net interest income is affected by numerous factors, including the level, pricing, mix and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as interest rate fluctuations. For purposes of this discussion, net
interest income has been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis which restates tax-exempt income to an amount that would yield the same after-tax income had the income been subject to income taxes.

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first three months of 2008 and for the first three months of 2007 was $3.6 million and $4.6 million,
respectively. Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis decreased by $1.0 million, of which $1.3 million was due to a decrease in rates. Average earning assets grew 6.5% for the first three months of 2008 over the first three months of
2007, from $425.2 million to $452.9 million, with the yield on average earning assets decreasing 118 basis points. Average interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings) grew 9.0% for the first three months of 2008 over the first three
months of 2007, from $352.9 million to $384.7 million, with the annualized cost decreasing 3 basis points.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the first three months of 2008 was $691 thousand compared to $496 thousand for the same period of 2007. The increase from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to a $240 thousand gain on the sale of securities and property
partially offset by a reduction in mortgage banking fees. Mortgage banking fees decreased $57 thousand, from $160 thousand in the first three months of 2007 to $103 thousand in the first three months of 2008 as a result of a decline in volume of
transactions closed. The decrease in mortgage banking fees was offset slightly with an increase in service charges and other fees. Service charges and other fees were $328 thousand in the first three months of 2008 from $313 thousand for the same
period of 2007.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

For the first
three months of 2008, non-interest expense was $3.1 million compared to $2.9 million for the first three months of 2007. Occupancy costs represented the largest increase in non-interest expense. New office space was completed to centralize certain
operations and departments of the Bank, resulting in increased occupancy costs. As of March 31, 2008 there were 129.5 full-time equivalent employees compared to 108.5 at March 31, 2007. Salaries and employee benefits remained relatively
flat for the first three months of the year versus the first three months of 2007. Salaries and employee benefit expense did not increase in relation to the increase in full-time equivalents as bonus expense was not recorded during the first three
months of 2008. The increase in full-time equivalent employees is a result of continued growth and to staff new branch openings.

INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded income tax (benefit) expense of $(739) thousand and $739 thousand,
respectively. Accordingly, our effective tax rates were (39.4)% and 36.8% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The determination of effective rates reflects items which are not taxed for income tax purposes, primarily tax-exempt interest income.

LOAN PORTFOLIO AND ADEQUACY OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses represents the Companys estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, the largest asset category on the consolidated
balance sheet. The determination of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the evaluation of several factors: the ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss experience, trends in
past due and nonperforming loans, risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect probable credit
losses. Other allowance considerations include the use of estimates related to pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loan loss experience and an allocation of reserves for current economic trends and conditions.

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the
Companys control, including the performance of the Companys loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and regulatory guidance.

The Companys allowance for loan losses consists of three elements: (i) homogenous loan pool valuation allowances determined in accordance with SFAS 5 based on the quantitative loan loss experience of the Bank for similar loans
with similar characteristics, with additional qualitative risks based upon the best judgment of management; (ii) specific valuation allowances determined in accordance with SFAS 114 based on probable losses on specific loans; and
(iii) general valuation allowances based on existing regional and local economic factors, including insurance and tax changes and increased market risks that may affect a particular category of loans.

On a monthly basis, management performs an analysis of the adequacy of the loan loss allowance. The analysis uses an eight point grade system to rate the loan portfolio.
The eight categories are 1-Superior, 2-Very Satisfactory, 3-Satisfactory, 4-Acceptable, 5-Adequate, 6-Special Mention, 7-Substandard, 8-Doubtful. Each loan is assigned a rating at origination and then reviewed periodically. All significant
commercial loans classified as either substandard or doubtful are reviewed at the end of each period to determine if a specific reserve is needed for that credit. A specific reserve is very common for significant credits
classified as either substandard or doubtful. The establishment of a specific reserve does not necessarily mean that the credit with the specific reserve will definitely incur loss at the reserve level. It is only an
estimation of potential loss based upon anticipated events. A general allocation is made for all other commercial loans based on factors including historical loss rate, perceived economic conditions, recent trends in loan loss history, and
concentrations of credit. These factors are reviewed and updated as necessary on a quarterly basis.

Residential and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually. These loans are grouped into pools and assigned
risk categories based on their current payment status and managements assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans. The allocations are based on the same factors as used for commercial loans. When appropriate, a specific reserve
will be established for individual loans. During 2007, due to continued market deterioration, the Bank deemed it necessary to begin reviewing select residential and consumer loans individually.

The balance in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2008 was $10.0 million, or 2.55%, of total loans. This is an increase of $2.4 million from the
December 31, 2007 allowance balance of $7.6 million, or 0.6% of total loans. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans is primarily a result of the Banks $2.9 million provision in the first quarter of
2008. The increase to the loan loss provision was necessitated by an increased allocation of $2.8 million to one commercial loan relationship, consisting of six loans to a manufacturer. The six loans amounted to $8.3 million as of March 31,
2008, with a reserve balance of $3.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the loan balance increased, but the collateral supporting the loans decreased, which created an additional reserve requirement. While these loans are
classified as impaired, they continue to perform contractually.

It is our policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income and classify a loan as
nonaccrual when principal and interest is past due 90 days or more unless we determine the principal and interest on the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an
earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful. Loans are not returned to accrual status until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain. Interest accrued and
unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is charged against interest income.

Some of the Banks nonaccrual loans are considered to be
impaired. A loan is considered impaired when its determined that it is probable that all the contractual principal and interest due under the loan may not be collectible. Nonaccrual loans are reviewed individually for impairment when the
relationship includes $50 thousand or more of loans outstanding. The impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of
estimated future cash flows.

Our impaired loans were $39.0 million at March 31, 2008, or 9.9% of total gross loans, compared to $31.0 million at
December 31, 2007, or 7.7% of total loans. At March 31, 2008, $31.7 million of the impaired loans continued on accrual status and the customers are to substantiate future cash flow projections. Management continues to monitor the worth,
paying capacity and collateral pledged of the borrowers; however those loans classified as impaired are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The remaining $7.3 million
of the loans has discontinued accruing interest.

Our non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.57% at March 31, 2008 and 1.03% at
December 31, 2007. There was $7.4 million in non-performing assets at March 31, 2008, compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2007.

During
the first quarter of 2008, the allowance was increased by a $2.9 million charge to the provision and offset by $523 thousand in net charge-offs. This is compared to the first quarter of 2007 activity of a $191 thousand charge to the provision offset
by $10 thousand in net recoveries. The increased provision since the end of last year was primarily due to one relationship as discussed previously.

ASSET / LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISKS

Changes in interest rates can substantially impact our long-term profitability and current income. An important part of our efforts to maintain long-term profitability is the management of interest rate risk. The goal
is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk and liquidity. Interest rate exposure is managed by monitoring the relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, focusing on the size,
maturity or repricing date, rate of return and degree of risk. The Banks Asset / Liability Management Committee oversees the interest rate risk management and reviews the Banks asset / liability structure on a monthly basis.

The Bank uses interest rate sensitivity analysis (GAP analysis) to monitor the amount and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates. The GAP
analysis is not relied upon solely to determine future reactions to interest rate changes because it is presented at one point in time and could change significantly from day-to-day.

The impact of adjustable rate loans and mortgages has been factored into the allowance for loan loss reserve. To mitigate our future risk associated with the repricing of loans, management adheres to a conservative
underwriting approach to minimize this future risk. Furthermore, management has avoided the use of certain loan products typically associated with speculative real estate financing, such as negative amortization residential real estate loans and
sub-prime lending.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of an adequate level of funds to meet the loan demand and deposit
withdrawal needs of our customers. The Bank monitors and manages its liquidity position so that funds will be available at a reasonable cost to meet financial commitments, to finance business expansion, and to take advantage of unforeseen
opportunities. We manage the levels, types, and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources available to fund current and future needs.

For
banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan commitments and withdrawals of deposited funds. Funds to meet these needs can be obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or other sources of funding. Many
factors affect a banks ability to meet liquidity needs. The Banks principal sources of funds are deposits; payments, paydowns, and maturities on loans; payments, maturities, and sales of investments; and capital contributions by the
Company. As additional sources of funds, the Bank has credit availability with the Federal Home Loan Bank amounting to $70.5 million and Federal Funds purchased lines available at correspondent banks amounting to $5.0 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

We and the Bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements which involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items. These capital requirements and classifications are ultimately subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

|Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market
risk is the risk that a financial institutions earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity
rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. The Company has assessed its market risk as predominately interest rate risk.

Interest rate
sensitivity as of March 31, 2008 was analyzed using a simulation analysis of the Companys sensitivity to changes in net interest income under varying assumptions for changes in market interest rates. Specifically, the model derives
expected interest income and interest expense resulting from gradual and parallel shifts in the yield curve. Rate changes are matched with known re-pricing intervals. The Bank uses standardized assumptions run against Bank data by an outsourced
provider of Asset/Liability reporting. The analysis indicates that, while a decreasing rate environment would cause our margin to compress, the decrease in net interest income is not as dramatic as the increase we would receive in a rising rate
environment. This is primarily due to the Banks ability to manage its liabilities. Competition for deposits in the Banks market areas is intense. By managing maturities and rates as well as looking to other sources of funding, such as
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, we attempt to control the compression on our interest rate margin in such a way as to cushion the effect of a declining rate environment.

The Companys simulation analysis has its limitations, as the assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment and as a result the model cannot perfectly
forecast net interest income, nor exactly predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of balance sheet components and interest
rate changes, market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.



|Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rule 13a-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, that are designed to cause the material information required to be disclosed by the Bank in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that a control design, no matter how well operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of

the control design are met. Due to inherent limitations in all control designs, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer our controls and procedures in place as of the end of the period covered by this report were evaluated. They concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No material
weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data have been identified. We made no significant changes in our internal disclosure controls and
procedures or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of evaluation by management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As of the end
of the period covered by this report, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, enhancements were made to the financial reporting process, however no changes were made that were considered
material or reasonably likely to materially affect, the Banks internal control over financial reporting.
