Welcome to the Seacoast Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call. My name is John, and I will be the operator for today’s call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Please note that the conference is being recorded. And I will now turn the call over to Dennis Hudson. Dennis, you may begin.

Thank you very much, and welcome to our second quarter conference call. Before we begin, I’ll direct your attention to our forward statements contained at the end of our press release. We will be discussing certain issues that constitute forward-looking statements. And accordingly our comments are intended to be covered within the meaning of Section 27A of Securities and Exchange act. With me today is Chuck Cross, who heads up Commercial Business Banking Line. Also here is Bill Hahl our CFO, and David Houdeshell our Chief Credit Officer. During our call this morning, I will be covering a few topics that are important to us as we look ahead to the rest of the year and into 2015 and beyond. Most importantly this quarter, we begin to develop faster momentum across the board as our strategic investments that we have been making are producing great results. Our revenue growth this quarter was quite meaningful as you saw and it was led by the best margin improvement, in fact the best net interest income growth that we have seen since coming out of the recession. Our adjusted pretax pre-provision income grew by 12% during the quarter as revenue growth continued to improve and our core expenses remained in line with our expectation. Credit costs continue to fall, leading to another quarter of provision recapture. Our adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.12 per share. As you know last quarter we announced the acquisition of BankFIRST in Orlando and I'm pleased to say we received approval for this transaction from our primary regulator much quicker than we expected. In fact we received our approval in a record time. So we’re headed for a closing in early October, October 1st in fact, following shareholders meetings that are scheduled for mid-September. We still need…

Thank you. I will begin the question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions). We do have a question from Michael Rose from Raymond James.

Just wanted to get a little color on the additional cost savings. You mentioned that it's primarily branch consolidations. How many branches do you expect to consolidate? Can you give us any details on where these branches are? Maybe they are in closer proximity to some other branches that are underperforming, and if you can give us some color on some of the additional costs that will come out associated with this new announcement?

Well, most of the costs indeed are out of branch consolidations. We haven't yet started to announce it but we will. They would represent some of our lower performing offices and many of them are in markets that we’re going to evolve forward post-merger with the BankFIRST merger. So it’s kind of a combination all over the market of some of our lower performing offices and again we haven’t gotten to the point where we're ready to release the exact names of those offices. I think it involves overtime build five offices.

Okay. That's helpful. And then on the commercial pipeline, obviously pretty good advancement this quarter. What drove that? Was it any particular market? Was there a specific focus by you all in any certain categories or geographies that resulted in that increase? And should we expect that to continue to grow?

Yes, I’ll let Chuck Cross maybe add a few comments in terms of where some of that growth is coming from.

Yes, I think it’s a combination of the commercial lending teams being in place for a good period of time and also our focus with those bankers on lead generation. They are just out in the market a lot more than we've all been in a long time.

I would say that a good amount of volume is coming from all over the market. We are seeing very even performance across our footprint. Obviously, some of the metro areas to the south and south Florida and even in Orlando, we’re seeing better volume coming out of those markets there actually I would say Chuck beginning to convert back into growth mode now at this point in terms of the market.

Correct.

Okay and then just one final housekeeping question. You recognized some merger-related costs this quarter. Just remind us again, if you can, how much more in additional merger-related expenses you expect to incur.

I think in the announcement we had, was it 6 million?

Right.

That we announced and so we’re $5.5 million - $6 million and so we’re beginning to basically even to that number between now and the end of the year.

And then you will have another $4 million in the fourth quarter from the new initiatives?

Right.

(Operator Instructions) Now we have question from Christopher Marinac from FIG Partners.

I wanted to ask about the Accelerate initiative, sort of where that stands in terms of its loan generation and how you think that will evolve in future quarters?

This is Chuck Cross. The Accelerate program is mainly in the metropolitan areas and as Denny said before, that’s where we’re seeing growth in those markets and we’re taking part in that growth. So we see a nice acceptance from those markets and we see it continuing to grow in the future.

I would say kind of where we’re in the evolution of that channel, we were in startup mode a year ago, still acquiring talent, still building out the locations and so forth, but primarily focused on building talent. You flip forward to today and I think between a year ago and today, we’ve done a much better job of sales management and with the talent we have and we continue to add talent to the teams. But it's more refining the model. And as we look ahead over the next year, I think we move to -- we call it internally a 2.0 model, where we have much better support from our data analytics folks helping us with better targeting lead generation, which is going to be quite helpful. I’d say the other thing happening Chris is we have as we have -- now that our core markets are improving and we’re seeing much better business conditions in some of our legacy markets, we're also stepping up and we will have some announcements probably next quarter on what we’re doing to generate small business activity into some of retail branches as well. That’s beginning to produce some nice results for us. So as kind of where we in this evolution of Accelerate, we're now at a more sustainable -- we think at a more sustainable place where we will continue to see new business developed out of that channel on a more consistent basis over the coming quarters and again a lot more work to do in our retail offices to small business as well.

And I guess if we look at the total dollar amount of loan growth, Denny, is Accelerate a meaningful part of that or still just a small contributor to the net dollars?

It’s meaningful, right. Our markets are over legacy markets are much thinner and the business activity has been a little slower to return, although it is definitely returning now. A year ago, I couldn’t have said that. Today, we’re seeing much better borrower conditions and expansion starting to happen and so forth, but those metro markets have been very important for us over the past year. And as we look ahead, they will continue to be important for us. And as we look in Orlando, we think the acquisition that we'll close right at beginning of October really moves us much further down the road in that market. It gives us some great branch coverage across the entire footprint to supplement what we already have going there and it dramatically increases our presence in the market to the point where we become one of the top leading community players in that market. So we’re actually very excited about the impact that the acquisition has on us. And I mentioned that the outset that BankFIRST has a great production team, small business and medium sized business lenders just like our guys. And when you the put two together, we’re not looking at any -- doing anything there in terms of cost. We just see nothing but opportunity as we put the two teams together and bring it forward in that very, very important and vibrant markets. Orlando market is growing very nicely now and we see a lot of positive opportunity there for us over the next year.

And then, Denny, one last one just on acquisitions. Just given the fast approval that you're seeing on BankFIRST, is it possible to consider another acquisition in 2015?

Yes, we think it is. We think it is. I think it’s important for us to get our underlying core earnings moving up and that’s obviously a really important thing for us do between now and the end of the year.

And we have a question from Scott Valentin from FBR & Company. Scott Valentin - FBR & Company: Just looking at the margin, it seemed to have stabilized between 3.05% and 3.10%. Just wondering if that is the outlook going forward. I noticed that loan yields were down a little bit linked-quarter. But it seems like maybe origination loan yields are getting close to portfolio loan yields?

I would say that’s true and the margin improvement we saw this quarter was definitely for the reasons you just stated. I think the big headline though is we thought over $0.5 million growth net interest income from the first quarter. And again, we’re seeing better, more sustainable we think volume and growth there that will continue to push we think that number up. When you look at our margin back over the five quarters, we’ve had pretty consistent performance. We're beginning to see now some improvement. Any other comments on pricing, Chuck?

I think deposit mix is the other thing that’s helpful over the 12 month period in bringing down other costs and supporting the margins. And as we continue to improve our loan production overall, which really emerged nicely both in the first and second quarter here this year, that’s what supporting it. And you’re correct that our add-on rates now on the portfolio are just about where we're at.

And the big driver to that change is and the big driver to – the big driver to the change is loan mix. And if you look back historically the loan growth we were producing two years ago was primarily in the area of residential loans and most of what we put in the portfolio were adjustable-rate loans at relatively low yield compared to portfolio. So it was a very sort of a struggling period where the only growth we could find was on the retail side, primarily in the residential mortgage where now as you well know have successfully begun to grow much more rapidly our commercial focus. And so we’re now seeing that loan mix began to shift back away from residential into commercial. The yields are better. And finally I'd note this acquisition that we’re going to close brings with it a much more favorable mix of loans and we plug that into the equation, we see further accretion in loan yield. And a lot of that is driven by an equally valuable, if not more valuable deposit portfolio with even accretion and DDA mix and the like. So the whole mix part of the equation accounts for our extraordinarily low interest margin that we have today and have had historically over the last couple of years and I hope I've given you some flavor and color in terms of why as we move that loan mix in the right direction, we believe over time we’ll see modest growth in the margin. And then again acquisition couldn’t be coming at a better time for us, pushing our margins up even further because of the more favorable mix of loans and equally favorable mix of deposits. Scott Valentin - FBR & Company: Okay. That color was very helpful. And then just one follow-up question. In the table on loan growth, it shows that the commercial pipeline is up pretty substantially year-over-year from about $47 million to $58 million; but the commercial loans closed it down. I didn't know if that is just normal business variability or anything happened in the second quarter of '13 versus second quarter '14 that would account for the drop in commercial loans closed?

Just kind of normal variability, whether something gets closed at the end of month, into the quarter or two weeks into the next quarter.

(Operator Instructions) I'm showing no further questions at this time.

Great. Thank you very much for attending our call today and we look forward to talking with you again next quarter and reporting further progress. Thanks.
