2008 ANNUAL REPORT
2008 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Shareholders, I am certain that you have watched, as I have, the almost surreal changes that have swept across the global economy over the past year. Bankruptcies and deteriorating confidence in some of our oldest and most recognized financial institutions provide ample reason for us all to pause and assess our financial lives. While a multitude of sectors in our economy, and worldwide, will continue to feel the impact of this recession well into 2009, I take comfort in the fact that Seaside is fundamentally different from most banks. Seaside s core business strategy is not product-specific, promotion of growth for growth s sake. Every Client Advisor at Seaside approaches each new piece of business not just as a transaction, but as part of an ongoing relationship, beneficial to our clients and to Seaside. We believe our 2008 results, during these historically difficult economic times, validate the soundness of our business model: Our deposits are growing on pace with projections We are actively extending credit in the markets we serve and have outstanding credit quality in our existing portfolio We continue to implement our aggressive, but controlled, growth strategy across the state of Florida We are located in attractive markets with strong industry organic growth rates and above-average wealth characteristics We invest opportunistically in people and businesses that are synergistic with, and a complement to, our long-term value proposition We have a sophisticated and robust product set that rivals large regional financial institutions We have hand selected the best bankers in Florida Our Client Advisors operate in an open environment where they are able to remain product neutral and are not limited to sell within a specific line of business We are well capitalized and have been selective in choosing additional investors The bank is operating in a safe and sound manner, with sound operating procedures and compliant systems While I am pleased with our 2008 results, we are ready to work hard to continue to grow Seaside in this recession. I am confident we have a tremendous advantage with our highly experienced, talented group of Client Advisors and Wealth Management professionals, in addition to our office and support professionals. Without their hard work and dedication on a daily basis, none of our current or future results would be possible. We are grateful for the opportunity to build Seaside into something special. On behalf of all the Directors and professionals of Seaside National Bank & Trust, I want to thank you for your continued support. Please do not hesitate to call me directly with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Gideon T. Haymaker 2

2008 ACCOMPLISHMENTS YEAR IN REVIEW This has been an exciting, busy and extremely rewarding year for Seaside. We experienced tremendous growth in our deposits, loans, total assets and assets under management as well as raised capital in an increasingly difficult economic environment. DEPOSITS GREW 267.5% FROM $72.2 MILLION TO $265.4 MILLION LOANS GREW 263.1% FROM $58 MILLION TO $210.6 MILLION TOTAL ASSETS GREW 188.5% FROM $127.3 MILLION TO $367.3 MILLION ASSETS UNDER ADVISEMENT GREW 72.6% FROM $56.3 MILLION TO $97.1 MILLION $5.4 MILLION OF NEW CAPITAL FROM AN INVESTMENT ISSUANCE To support our growth, our physical office network more than doubled, and we experienced a 100 percent increase in the number of Seaside associates, including four key hires to lead our newly expanded regions. In early 2008, we added two well-known and respected leaders to our Board of Directors. Seaside now has twelve active and committed Board members who meet monthly to provide oversight and direction to the bank s executive management team. In mid-2008, we expanded our product offerings to include indirect lending through our Dealer Financial Services group. We also launched a new advertising campaign and a Web site redesign. In June, we received notification that our name Seaside National Bank & Trust and our design mark are now registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. We continued to invest in our systems and technology to ensure we maintain integrated and flexible technology. In an ongoing effort to be financially prudent, we developed a centralized purchasing process. We realized an almost immediate cost savings for the processes and procedures that were established. Throughout the year we were fortunate to receive a number of accolades, which validated our hard work and success. 4
