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, 2011.
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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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
There are no recent accounting pronouncements to disclose for the first six months of 2012.

A summary comparison of securities by type at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is shown below.
The scheduled maturities of securities at June 30, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
At June 30, 2012 approximately $443.2 million in securities were pledged to secure public fund deposits, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
The following is a summary of the fair value of securities with gross unrealized losses and an aging of those gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2012.
8
At June 30, 2012, 88 debt securities have gross unrealized losses of $0.7 million or 0.33% of amortized cost. All securities with unrealized losses were classified as available for sale at June 30, 2012. The Company believes that it will collect all amounts contractually due and has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until the fair value is at least equal to the carrying value. The Company had 1 U.S. Treasury security, 18 U.S. Government agency securities and 62 corporate debt securities that had gross unrealized losses for less than 12 months. The Company had 7 corporate debt securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer. Securities with unrealized losses greater than 12 months had a total amortized cost of $2.7 million. Securities with unrealized losses less than 12 months had a total amortized cost of $202.6 million.
If an equity security has an impairment that is other than temporary, then an impairment loss shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment would then become the new amortized cost basis of the investment and is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. For debt securities, other than temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings if the Company is required to sell or is more likely than not to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. If the Company is not required to sell the security or does intend to sell the security, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount representing credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount related to credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. 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. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, Management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry reports.
The number of investment securities issued by U.S. government and government agencies with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are primarily the result of market interest rates. At June 30, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities in its current portfolio until recovery, which may be until maturity.
The corporate debt securities consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by the following types of organizations: financial, insurance, utilities, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas. Also included in corporate debt securities are trust preferred capital securities, many issued by national and global financial services firms. The Company believes that the each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities. At June 30, 2012 the Company had the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.
The held to maturity portfolio is comprised of government sponsored enterprise securities such as FHLB, FNMA, FHLMC, and FFCB. The securities have maturities of 15 years or less and the securities are used to collateralize public funds. As of June 30, 2012 public funds deposits totaled $452.5 million. The Company has maintained public funds in excess of $175.0 million since December 2007. Management believes that public funds will continue to be a significant part of the Company's deposit base and will need to be collateralized by securities in the investment portfolio.
Securities with unrealized losses are currently performing according to their contractual terms. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities for the foreseeable future. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. As a result of uncertainties in the market affecting companies in the financial services industry, it is at least reasonably possible that a change in the estimate will occur in the near term.
The Company did not record an impairment write-down on its securities for the first six months of 2012. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an impairment write-down on securities from one issuer of $0.1 million. This write-down was partially offset by a subsequent gain on sale of the securities of $45,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
At June 30, 2012, the Company's exposure to investment securities issuers that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity was as follows:

The following table summarizes the components of the Company's loan portfolio as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
The following table summarizes fixed and floating rate loans by maturity and repricing frequencies as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
The majority of floating rate loans have interest rate floors. As of June 30, 2012, $255.6 million of these loans were at the floor rate. Nonaccrual loans have been excluded from the calculation.
The following tables present the age analysis of past due loans at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The Company's management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan.
For all loan classes, past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for nonaccrual status. Generally, when collection in full of the principal and interest is jeopardized, the loan is placed on nonaccrual. The accrual of interest income on commercial and most consumer loans generally is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 to 120 days past due as to principal or interest. When interest accruals are discontinued, unpaid interest recognized in income is reversed. The Company's method of income recognition for loans that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectability of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid.
The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans by class:
11
The Company assigns credit quality indicators of pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful to its loans. For the Company's loans with a commercial and consumer credit exposure, the Company internally assigns a grade based on the creditworthiness of the borrower. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, the Bank internally assigns a grade based upon an individual loan’s delinquency status. Loans included in the Pass category are performing loans with satisfactory debt coverage ratios, collateral, payment history, and documentation.
Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or in the Company's credit position at some future date. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.
A substandard loan with a commercial and consumer credit exposure is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt by the borrower. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans require more intensive supervision by management. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and thus, placed on nonaccrual. For loans with a consumer credit exposure, loans that are 90 days or more past due or that have been placed on nonaccrual are considered substandard.
Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values.
The Company periodically reassesses its credit quality indicators and has revised its methodology in 2012 contributing to the increase in special mention credits over the previous periods.
The following table identifies the Commercial and Consumer Credit Exposure of the Loan Portfolio by specific credit ratings:

ASC 310-30 Loans
The Company has loans that were acquired through the acquisition of Greensburg Bancshares, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. These loans are subject to ASC Topic 310-30. The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable at June 30, 2012. The amounts of loans subject to ASC Topic 310-30 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:
There have been no additional provisions made to the allowance for loan losses subsequent to acquisition of these loans. The loans acquired in the acquisition of Greensburg Bancshares, that are within the scope of Topic ASC 310-30, are not accounted for using the income recognition model of the Topic because the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be collected.

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Company's management on a monthly basis and additions thereto are recorded pursuant to the results of such reviews. In assessing the allowance, several internal and external factors that might impact the performance of individual loans are considered. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions and their impact upon borrowers' ability to repay loans, respective industry trends, borrower estimates and independent appraisals. Periodic changes in these factors impact the assessment of each loan and its overall impact on the allowance for loan losses.
The monitoring of credit risk also extends to unfunded credit commitments, such as unused commercial credit lines and letters of credit. A reserve is established as needed for estimates of probable losses on such commitments.
A summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses, by portfolio type, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
