EXPLANATORY NOTE

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 to amend and restate financial statements and certain other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These amendments restate the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other financial information for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, previously reported on Form 10-K. These amendments are being filed to change the Company’s accounting for certain interest rate swap derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”).

During 2004, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $15 million, of which $10 million remained in effect as of December 31, 2006, to hedge the variability in expected future cash flows on certain floating-rate Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. At inception, the critical terms of these swaps were viewed as matching the critical terms of the hedged FHLB advances and, as a result, it was determined that changes in cash flows were expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis as provided under SFAS 133. Therefore, the interest rate swap agreements were deemed to be effective cash flow hedges during the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, consistent with SFAS 133.

The Company has now determined that although these swaps were economically effective, the initial assessment of matching critical terms for the interest rate swaps and the corresponding hedged FHLB advances was incorrect. In each circumstance, the interest rate swap contained an embedded written option that allowed the counterparty to terminate the interest rate swap under certain conditions. Since the interest rate swaps and the FHLB advances did not have absolute parity and the critical terms of the instruments did not completely match, the Company has concluded, and its Audit Committee has concurred, that the swap transactions did not qualify as cash flow hedges and, therefore, any fluctuations in the market value of the interest rate swaps, including any accrued interest, should have been included in other non-interest income resulting in quarterly and annual mark-to-market adjustments. As originally recorded, fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income, with accrued interest recorded as a reduction of interest expense on FHLB advances. There is no effect on cash flows or total stockholders’ equity from these revisions.

For additional information on the restatement, see Note 1, Restatement in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

PART I

Item 1. Business

General

This Form 10-K/A contains forward-looking statements which are statements that are not historical or current facts. When used in this filing and in future filings by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases, “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “projected,” or similar expressions are intended to identify, “forward looking statements.” Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in economic conditions in Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s market area, changes in the position of banking regulators on the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, and competition, all or some of which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investing activities, and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s financial performance and could cause Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (or the “Stock Company”) is a federally chartered stock holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). The Stock Company was organized on January 1, 2003 as part of a three-tier mutual holding company reorganization plan adopted on May 30, 2002, for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock issued upon reorganization of Atlantic Coast Bank (or the “Bank”), formerly known as Atlantic Coast Federal, a federally chartered stock savings association, together referred to as the Company. Since the primary activity to date of the Stock Company is holding all of the stock of Atlantic Coast Bank, the terms “Bank” and “Company” may be used interchangeably throughout this Form 10-K.

On October 4, 2004, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation completed a minority stock offering in which it sold 5,819,000 shares or 40% of its common stock to eligible depositors and the Bank’s Employee Stock Option Plan (“ESOP”), with the majority of the 14,547,500 shares outstanding being retained by Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC (the “MHC”). Net proceeds from the sale of the shares were of $51.7 million, net of conversion expenses of $1.9 million and proceeds loaned to the ESOP of $4.7 million. Use of the proceeds is discussed in the Business Strategy section of this Item.

In July 2005, the Stock Company issued, out of previously authorized but unissued common stock, 258,469 shares of common stock as restricted stock awards to outside directors and key employees under the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan (the “Recognition Plan”). The Stock Company also conducted common stock repurchase programs during 2005 and 2006, resulting in the repurchase of 1,029,139 shares or 6.9% of total outstanding shares of common stock. At December 31, 2006, the MHC owns 63.3%, or 8,728,500 shares, of the stock of the Stock Company, with the remaining 36.7%, or 5,055,830 shares held by persons not associated with MHC and the Stock Company. The Stock Company holds 100% of Atlantic Coast Bank's outstanding common stock.

The Stock Company has not engaged in any significant business to date. Its primary activity is holding all of the stock of Atlantic Coast Bank. In the future Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation may pursue other business activities, including mergers and acquisitions, investment alternatives and diversification of operations. There are, however, no current agreements in place for these activities. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation does not maintain offices separate from those of Atlantic Coast Bank or utilize persons other than certain of Atlantic Coast Bank’s officers. Directors and officers of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation are not separately compensated for their service.

Atlantic Coast Bank was originally established in 1939 as a credit union to serve the employees of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. At the time of the conversion from a federal credit union to a federal mutual savings association the Bank’s field of membership consisted of about 125 various employee groups, residents of Atkinson, Bacon, Brantley, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Pierce and Ware counties in Georgia, and employees of CSX Transportation Inc. (“CSX”), which is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. However, as a credit union, the Bank was legally restricted to serve only individuals who shared a “common bond” such as a common employer.

On November 1, 2000, after receiving the necessary regulatory and membership approvals, Atlantic Coast Federal Credit Union converted to a federal mutual savings association known as Atlantic Coast Bank that serves the general public. The conversion has allowed the Bank to diversify its customer base by marketing products and services to individuals and businesses in its market area. Unlike a credit union, the Bank may make loans to customers who do not have a deposit relationship. Following the conversion management of the Bank began to emphasize residential mortgage lending and commercial real estate loans and to reduce automobile and consumer lending activities which had become unattractive lines of business due to delinquencies, charge-offs and competitive pressures from financing programs offered by the automobile manufacturers. Consumer lending, such as credit cards, have also incurred historically high delinquency and charge-off rates. See “-Lending Activities.”

The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, home equity loans, commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, automobile and consumer loans. The Bank also originates multi-family residential loans, commercial business loans and commercial construction and residential construction loans. Loans are obtained through retail staff, through brokers, participations with other financial institutions, and wholesale purchases.

Revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and other internal earning assets, such as investment securities. To a lesser extent, revenue is generated from service charges and other income.

The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which generally include savings accounts, money market accounts, demand deposit accounts and time deposit accounts with varied terms ranging from 90 days to five years. Deposits are solicited in the Bank’s primary market area of southeastern Georgia and the Jacksonville metropolitan area.

Market Area

The Bank intends to continue to be a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Bank is headquartered in Waycross, Georgia, with branches in Waycross, Douglas and Garden City, Georgia, as well as Jacksonville metro area, Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, Neptune Beach, Fernandina Beach and Julington Creek. The Bank also has a branch in Lake City, Florida, which is located approximately 60 miles west of Jacksonville, Florida. Waycross is located in Ware County, Georgia and the dominant employer in town is CSX Transportation, Inc., which operates a major railroad facility there. The market area of southeastern Georgia is marked by limited growth trends and is a largely agricultural-based economy. Based on the most recent data available, Atlantic Coast Bank’s approximate deposit market share in its Georgia markets was 3.63% and in its Florida markets was 1.34%. The Jacksonville market is one of the most affordable cities in Florida with ample employment opportunities and an appreciating housing market. The city serves not only as a financial hub, but also as a regional healthcare and insurance center. It also has a healthy tourism industry, has recently become active as a host city for major sporting events such as the Super Bowl in 2005 and the 2006 NCAA basketball tournament regional site, and is home to the 3rd largest port in Florida.

Lending Activities

General. The Bank originates one- to four-family residential first and second mortgage loans, home-equity loans, land and multifamily real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and to a lesser extent automobile and other consumer loans. The Bank also purchases loans, principally one- to four-family residential mortgages, in the form of whole loans as well as participation interests, for interest rate risk management, portfolio diversification and to supplement organic loan growth. Loans carry either a fixed or adjustable rate of interest. Consumer loans are generally short-term and amortize monthly or have interest payable monthly. Mortgage loans generally have a longer-term amortization, with maturities up to 40 years, with principal and interest due each month. At December 31, 2006, the net loan portfolio totaled $639.5 million, which constituted 75.9% of total assets.

At December 31, 2006, the maximum amount that the Bank could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower’s related entities under applicable regulations was approximately $12.2 million. At December 31, 2006, there were no loans or group of loans to related borrowers with outstanding balances in excess of this amount. The Bank’s largest lending relationship is a $5.9 million mortgage loan participation with a large Florida mortgage banker. The second largest relationship is comprised of four loans totaling $5.3 million secured by the income produced by the underlying commercial real estate. The third largest relationship is comprised of twelve loans totaling $4.8 million and secured by commercial real estate, commercial equipment and a residential real estate mortgage on the primary residence of the guarantors. The fourth largest relationship totals $4.5 million and is secured primarily by income producing commercial real estate. The fifth largest relationship totals $3.9 million for development and construction of residential homes in the Jacksonville MSA. All loans have personal guarantees as a secondary source of repayment and were performing according to the terms of their agreements at year end.

One- to Four-Family Real Estate Lending. At December 31, 2006, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $334.0 million, or 52.14%, of the gross loan portfolio. Generally, one- to four-family loans are underwritten based on the applicant’s employment, income, credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. The Bank will generally lend up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one- to four-family residential loans. Should a loan be granted with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, private mortgage insurance would be required to reduce overall exposure to below 80%. For highly credit worthy borrowers, the ratio may be extended to 89.9% depending on the occupancy of the property. Borrowers electing an interest only payment are qualified using a fully amortizing payment based on the fully indexed interest rate. As of December 31, 2006 the interest only portfolio totaled $49.9 million, 14.9% of the total mortgage loan portfolio.

Properties securing one- to four-family loans are generally appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the board of directors. Borrowers are required to obtain title and hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary, in an amount not less than the value of the property improvements. Currently, the Bank originates one- to four-family mortgage loans on a fixed-rate and adjustable-rate basis. Management’s pricing strategy for mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions and consistent with the Bank’s internal needs. Adjustable-rate loans are tied to a variety of indices including rates based on U. S. Treasury securities. The majority of adjustable-rate loans carry an initial fixed rate of interest for either three or five years which then convert to an interest rate that is adjusted based upon the applicable index and in accordance with the note. The Bank’s home mortgages are structured with a five to forty year maturity, with amortizations up to 40-years. Substantially all of the one- to four-family loans originated or purchased are secured by properties located in southeastern Georgia and the metropolitan Jacksonville area.

All of the residential real estate loans contain a “due on sale” clause allowing the Bank to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property, subject to certain laws. Loans originated or purchased are generally underwritten and documented pursuant to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae guidelines. The Bank sells loans to investors on the secondary market to fulfill customer demand for product(s) that do not fit in the Bank’s portfolio strategy.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Bank offers commercial real estate loans for both permanent financing and construction. These loans are typically secured by small retail establishments, rental properties, storage facilities, and office buildings located in the Bank’s primary market area. At December 31, 2006, permanent commercial real estate loans totaled $60.9 million, or 9.51%, of the gross loan portfolio.

The Bank originates both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans. The interest rate on adjustable- rate loans is tied to a variety of indices, including rates based on the Prime Rate and U.S. Treasury securities. The majority of the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans carry an initial fixed-rate of interest for either three or five years and then convert to an interest rate that is adjusted annually based upon the index. Loan-to-value ratios on commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans require monthly payments, amortize up to 25 years, and generally have maturities of up to 10 years and may carry pre-payment penalties.

Loans secured by commercial real estate are underwritten based on the cash flow of the borrower or income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower and guarantors. Loan guarantees are generally obtained from financially capable parties based on a review of personal financial statements. The Bank requires that commercial real estate borrowers with balances in excess of $250,000 submit financial statements, including rent rolls if applicable, annually. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. Rent or lease assignments are required in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans are performed by independent state-licensed fee appraisers approved by the board of directors. The majority of the properties securing commercial real estate loans are located in the Bank’s market area.

Loans secured by commercial real estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. See “- Asset Quality - Non-Performing Loans.”

Other Real Estate Loans. As of December 31, 2006, other real estate secured loans totaled $34.4 million and consisted mainly of land loans, but also includes loans secured by multi-family property. The Bank offers land loan financing to commercial and individual borrowers who can support the debt service. Loans to commercial and individual borrowers secured by land total $26.5 million and loans secured by multi-family property total $7.9 million as of December 31, 2006. Generally, these loans carry a higher rate of interest than do residential permanent loans. The Bank typically generally underwrites land loans based on the borrower’s ability to repay, credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Presently, the Bank will lend up to 90% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price on land loans to individuals.

The Bank offers both fixed and adjustable rate land loans to commercial borrowers. Essentially all of these loans are secured by property located in the Bank’s primary market areas of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. The loans carry a maximum loan-to-value of 65%. If the borrower is a limited liability company or corporation, the Bank will generally obtain personal loan guarantees from the principals of the borrowing entity based on a review of their personal financial statements and personal credit report information. Loans to commercial borrowers secured by land are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow of the borrowing entity or guarantors is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

The Bank also offers loans secured by multi-family residential real estate. These loans are secured by real estate located in the Bank’s primary market area. At December 31, 2006, multi-family residential loans totaled $7.9 million, or 1.2% of the gross loan portfolio. Multi-family residential loans are generally originated with adjustable interest rates based on prime or U.S. Treasury securities. Loan-to-value ratios on multi-family residential loans do not exceed 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans require monthly payments, amortize over a period of up to 30 years. Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate are underwritten based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower. The net operating income must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. Rent or lease assignments are required in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing multi-family residential loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by the board of directors.

Real Estate Construction Lending. As of December 31, 2006, loans for the construction of real estate totaled $37.4 million, or 5.84% of the total portfolio. The real estate construction portfolio consists of both residential and commercial construction loans. Residential construction loans, including those purchased from brokers, are generally made for the construction of pre-sold builder homes to individual borrowers. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had $32.5 million in residential construction loans. Residential construction loans are underwritten according to the terms available on the secondary market. Generally, construction loans are limited to loan to value ratio not to exceed 85% based on the lesser of cost to construct or the appraised value upon completion. The Bank offers both construction only and construction-to-permanent loans.

Construction only loans to individuals generally have a term of 12 months with a variable interest rate tied to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus a margin ranging from .50% to 1.5% with a loan to value of no more than 85% of the cost of the construction or appraised value, whichever is less. These loans are underwritten according to secondary market guidelines and must qualify for permanent financing as part of the origination process even if the permanent financing will be obtained from another mortgage lender. The Bank also originates construction only loans to builders to finance the construction of 1-4 family residences. The builder must have sufficient cash flow to repay the debt based term loan. As of December 31, 2006, loans to builders for the construction of pre-sold or speculative 1-4 residential property and lot inventory totaled $6.3 million.

Construction-to-permanent loans are structured where one closing occurs for both the construction and the permanent financing. During the construction phase, which can last up to eighteen months depending on the nature of the residence being built, a member of the loan servicing staff, the original appraiser, or a fee inspector makes inspections of the site and loan proceeds are disbursed directly to contractors or borrowers in accordance with the loan funding schedule as construction progresses. Borrowers are required to pay interest only during the construction phase with the loan converting to the terms of the amortizing note once the construction is completed. Typically, these loans convert to adjustable rate loans which are either held in portfolio or sold on the secondary market.

Home-Equity Lending. The Bank currently originates both fixed-term fully amortizing equity loans and open-ended interest only home equity lines of credit. At December 31, 2006, the portfolio totaled $91.1 million, or 14.22%, of the gross loan portfolio. The Bank generally underwrites one- to four-family home equity loans based on the applicant’s employment and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Presently, the Bank will lend up to 80% of the appraised value less any prior liens. For high credit worthy borrowers the Bank may lend up to 110% of the appraised value less any prior liens. This ratio may be reduced in accordance with internal guidelines given the risk and credit profile of the borrower. Properties securing one- to four-family loans are generally appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the board of directors or the value is determined using a qualified asset valuation model. The Bank requires a title search and hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary, in an amount not less than the value of the property improvements.

The Bank’s home equity lines of credit carry an adjustable interest rate based upon the prime rate of interest. As of December 31, 2006, interest only lines of credit totaled $33.9 million, or 37.21% of the total home equity loans. Borrowers requesting interest only lines are qualified using 1% of the commitment amount for determining the borrowers’ capacity to repay. All home equity loans have a maximum draw period of 10 years with a repayment period of up to 20 years following such draw period depending on the outstanding balance. Currently these loans are retained in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Consumer Loans. The Bank currently offers a variety of consumer loans. Consumer loans are principally fixed rate, generally have shorter terms to maturity, thereby reducing exposure to changes in interest rates, and carry higher rates of interest than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2006, the consumer loan portfolio, inclusive of automobile loans, totaled $63.6 million, or 9.93%, of the gross loan portfolio. In recent years, the consumer lending portfolio as a percentage of the loan portfolio has continued to decrease due to management’s emphasis on real estate loan products.

The most significant component of the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio is automobile loans. Automobile loans are originated primarily on a direct basis to customers through the Bank’s branch network. Loans secured by automobiles totaled $29.6 million, or 4.62% of the gross loan portfolio as of December 31, 2006. Automobile loans have a fixed rate of interest and carry terms up to seven years for new automobiles and a maximum of five years for used automobiles. Loan-to-value ratios for automobile loans are up to 100% of the sales price for new automobiles and up to 100% of value on used cars, based on valuation from official used car guides.

Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

Loan Originations, Purchases, and Sales

The Bank originates loans through its branch network, the internet and its call center. Referrals from current customers, advertisements, real estate brokers, mortgage loan brokers and builders are also important sources of loan originations. While the Bank originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, origination volume is dependent upon customer loan demand within the Bank’s market area. Demand is affected by local competition and the interest rate environment. The Bank also purchases loans, principally one-to four-family residential mortgages, in the form of whole loans as well as participation interests for interest rate risk management and portfolio diversification and to supplement our organic growth. In addition, the Bank sells participation interests in some of its larger real estate loans.

Asset Quality

When a borrower fails to make a timely payment on a loan, contact is made initially in the form of a reminder letter sent at either 10 or 15 days depending on the term of the loan agreement. If a response is not received within a reasonable period of time, contact by telephone is made in an attempt to determine the reason for the delinquency and to request payment of the delinquent amount in full or to establish an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current.

If the borrower is unable to make or keep payment arrangements, additional collection action is taken in the form of repossession of collateral for secured, non-real estate loans and small claims or legal action for unsecured loans. If the loan is secured by real estate, a letter of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower when an agreement for an acceptable repayment plan can not be established or agreed upon. The letter of intent to foreclose allows the borrower up to 10 days to bring the account current. Once the loan becomes 75 days delinquent and an acceptable repayment plan has not been established, foreclosure action is initiated on the loan.

Real estate loans serviced by a third party are subject to the servicing institution’s collection policies. Contractually, the servicing institutions are required to adhere to collection policies no less stringent than the Bank’s policies. The Bank tracks each purchased loan individually to ensure full payments are received as scheduled. Each month, servicing institutions are required to provide delinquent loan status reports to the Bank’s loan operations department. The status reports are included in the month-end delinquent real estate report to management.

Delinquent Loans. The following table sets forth the Bank’s loans delinquent 60-to-89 days and 90 days or more past due by type, number, amount and percentage of type at December 31, 2006. Loans past due 60 days or more total $4.3 million, or .67% of total loans. Real estate loans 60 days or more past due total $1.3 million, or .20% of total loans. Construction loans 60 days or more past due total $747,000, or .12% of total loans. Other loans (consisting of home equity, consumer, and commercial non-real estate) total $2.2 million, or .35% of total loans.

Non-Performing Assets. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days and more, and foreclosed assets. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has deteriorated are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loan is 90 days and over past due. Generally, all loans past due 90 days and over are classified as non-accrual. For loans on non-accrual, interest income is not recognized until actually collected. At the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against current income. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had no loans delinquent 90 days or more that were accruing interest and loans 90 days or more past due and non-accrual loans as a percentage of total loans were .48% and .40% of total assets. For the year ending December 31, 2006, contractual gross interest income of $90,000 would have been recorded on non-performing loans if those loans had been current. Interest in the amount of $66,000 was included in income during 2006 on such loans.

Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Assets. Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned. At the time of foreclosure, the property is recorded at the lower of their estimated fair value less selling costs or the loan balance, with any write-down charged against the allowance for loan losses. Other repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of the loan balance or fair market value. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had real estate owned of $286,000.

Classified Assets. Banking regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Bank and regulators to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered not collectable and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management and approved by the board of directors. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

In connection with the filing of the Bank’s periodic reports with the OTS and in accordance with its classification of assets policy, management regularly reviews the problem assets in the portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. The total amount of classified assets represented 6.30% of equity capital and .67% of total assets at December 31, 2006.

The aggregate amount of classified loans at the dates indicated was as follows:

	At December 31,
	2006		2005
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Loss	$	-	$	-
Doubtful		686		1,719
Substandard		4,915		5,398
Total	$	5,601	$	7,117

At December 31, 2006, $2.0 million of classified loans were impaired, as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS 114”), down from $4.5 million at year end 2005. Loans considered doubtful were $686,000 down from $1.7 million at year end 2005. Loans are classified as special mention when it is determined that a loan relationship should be monitored more closely. Loans are classified as special mention for a variety of reasons including changes in recent borrower financial condition, changes in borrower operations, changes in value of available collateral, concerns regarding changes in economic conditions in a borrower’s industry, and other matters. A loan classified as special mention in many instances may be performing in accordance with the loan terms. Special mention loans were $8.5 million at both December 31, 2006 and 2005. All loans classified as special mention are performing according to their contractual terms and no losses are anticipated at this time.

Allowance for Loan Losses. An allowance for loan losses is maintained to reflect probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated losses incurred in the loan portfolio. Management’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include a SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”) component by type of loan and specific allowances for identified problem loans. The allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in SFAS 114 and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans.

The SFAS 5 component is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of the loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and non-performing loans affect the amount of the SFAS 5 component. Loss factors are based on the Bank’s historical loss experience and on significant factors that, in management’s judgment, may affect the ability to collect loans in the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed and established by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting the Bank’s key lending areas. Other conditions such as credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio exist as of the balance sheet date are considered as well. Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with the Bank’s senior credit officers. To the extent that a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date evidences any of these conditions, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date does not evidence any of these conditions, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance.

Management also evaluates the allowance for loan losses based on a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of the secured collateral, and economic conditions in the market area. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows management expects to receive on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. For all specifically reviewed loans where it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement, impairment is determined by computing a fair value based on either discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and are excluded from specific impairment evaluation. For these loans, the allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses policy described above.

At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $4.7 million or 0.73% of the total loan portfolio and 154.2% of total non-performing loans. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective and requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. In management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses represents all known and inherent loan losses that are both probable and reasonably estimated as of December 31, 2006.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses.

Investment Activities

General. The Bank is required by federal regulations to maintain an amount of liquid assets, such as cash and short-term securities, for the purposes of meeting operational needs. The Bank is also permitted to make certain other securities investments. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Commitments.” Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is provided.

The Bank is authorized to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and government sponsored enterprises, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federal savings associations may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings association is otherwise authorized to make directly. See “How We Are Regulated - Atlantic Coast Bank” for a discussion of additional restrictions on the Bank’s investment activities.

The board of directors has adopted an investment policy which governs the nature and extent of investment activities, and the responsibilities of management and the board. Investment activities are directed by the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, in coordination with the Company’s Asset/Liability Committee. Various factors are considered when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated short and long term interest rates, the level of interest rates, the trend of new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.

The current structure of the investment portfolio provides liquidity when loan demand is high, assists in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and maximizes earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk.”

Investment Securities. The Bank invests in investment securities, for example United States government sponsored enterprises and state and municipal obligations, as part of its asset liability management strategy. All such securities are classified as available for sale.

SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS 115”), requires that investments be categorized as “held to maturity,” “trading securities” or “available for sale,” based on management’s intent as to the ultimate disposition of each security. SFAS 115 allows debt securities to be classified as “held to maturity” and reported in financial statements at amortized cost only if the reporting entity has the positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity.

Sources of Funds

General. The Bank’s sources of funds are deposits, payment of principal and interest on loans, interest earned on or maturation of other investment securities, borrowings, and funds provided from operations.

Deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts to consumers with a wide range of interest rates and terms. Deposits consist of time deposit accounts, savings, money market and demand deposit accounts. Historically, the Bank has paid attractive rates on deposit accounts. The Bank relies primarily on premium pricing policies, marketing and customer service to attract and retain these deposits. Additionally, the Bank will purchase time deposit accounts from brokers at costs and terms which are comparable to time deposits originated in the branch offices.

The variety of deposit accounts offered has allowed the Bank to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. As customers have become more interest rate conscious, the Bank has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows. Pricing of deposits are managed to be consistent with overall asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability objectives. Management consider numerous factors including: (1) the need for funds based on loan demand, current maturities of deposits and other cash flow needs; (2) rates offered by market area competitors for similar deposit products; (3) current cost of funds and yields on assets; and (4) the alternative cost of funds on a wholesale basis, in particular the cost of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). Interest rates are reviewed by senior management weekly. Based on historical experience, management believes that the Bank’s deposits are a relatively stable source of funds. Despite this stability, the Bank’s ability to attract and maintain these deposits and the rates paid on them has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

Borrowings. Although deposits are the primary source of funds, the Bank may utilize borrowings when it is a less costly source of funds, and can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, when additional capacity is required to purchase loans or to fund loan demand or when they meet asset/liability management goals. Borrowings have historically consisted of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Advances from the FHLB of Atlanta may be obtained upon the security of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $144.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding.

Subsidiary and Other Activities

At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation did not have any active subsidiaries other than Atlantic Coast Bank. During 2005, Atlantic Coast Bank formed Atlantic Coast Holdings (“Holdings”) as a wholly owned subsidiary for the purpose of managing and investing in certain securities, as well as owning all of the common stock and 85% of the preferred stock of Coastal Properties, Inc. a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). The REIT was formed for the purpose of holding Georgia and Florida first lien residential mortgages originated by Atlantic Coast Bank. The activities of First Community Financial Services, a subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Bank, were consolidated into Atlantic Coast Bank in the fourth quarter of 2003.

How We Are Regulated

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations, which are applicable to Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and Atlantic Coast Bank. The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations. Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect the operations of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and Atlantic Coast Bank. In addition, the regulations governing Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and Atlantic Coast Bank may be amended from time to time by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation or Atlantic Coast Bank. No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form any such changes may occur.

General. Atlantic Coast Bank, as a federally chartered savings institution, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the OTS extending to all aspects of its operations. The Bank is also subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which insures the deposits of Atlantic Coast Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the OTS and are subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting stockholders. The OTS regularly examines the Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of Atlantic Coast Bank’s board of directors on any deficiencies that it may find in the Bank’s operations. The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of loan documents. Any change in such regulations, whether by the FDIC, the OTS, or the Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and Atlantic Coast Bank and their operations.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation

General. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation is a federal mutual holding company subsidiary within the meaning of Section 10(o) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. It is required to file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and any non-savings institution subsidiaries. This permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that it determines to be a serious risk to Atlantic Coast Bank. This regulation is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors and not for the benefit of stockholders of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation.

Activities Restrictions. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries are subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions on their business activities specified by federal regulations, which include performing services and holding properties used by a savings institution subsidiary, activities authorized for savings and loan holding companies as of March 5, 1987, and non-banking activities permissible for bank holding companies pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or authorized for financial holding companies pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

If Atlantic Coast Bank fails the qualified thrift lender test, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation must, within one year of that failure, register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. See “- Qualified Thrift Lender Test.”

Mergers and Acquisitions. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company or acquiring such an institution or holding company by merger, consolidation or purchase of its assets. In evaluating an application for Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation to acquire control of a savings institution, the OTS would consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and the target institution, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and the needs of the community and competitive factors.

Waivers of Dividends by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation. OTS regulations require Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC to notify the OTS of any proposed waiver of its receipt of dividends from Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation. The OTS reviews dividend waiver notices on a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if: (i) the mutual holding company’s board of directors determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties to the mutual holding company’s members; (ii) and the waiver would not be detrimental to the safe and sound operation of the institution.

In 2006, Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC waived receipt of quarterly dividends in the total amount of $3.7 million. It is anticipated that Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC will waive dividends, from time to time, paid by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation, if any. Under OTS regulations, public stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio) in the event Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC converts to stock form.

Conversion of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC to Stock Form. The OTS regulations permit Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization (a “Conversion Transaction”). There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur. In a Conversion Transaction a new holding company would be formed as the successor to Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (the “New Holding Company”), Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC’s corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Atlantic Coast Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the New Holding Company. In a Conversion Transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC (“Minority Stockholders”) would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock in the New Holding Company determined pursuant to an exchange ratio that ensures that the Minority Stockholders own the same percentage of common stock in the New Holding Company as they owned in Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation immediately prior to the Conversation Transaction. The total number of shares held by Minority Stockholders after a Conversion Transaction also would be increased by any purchases by Minority Stockholders in the stock offering conducted as part of the Conversion Transaction.

A Conversion Transaction requires the approval of the OTS as well as a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the members of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC and a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the stockholders of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation other than Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC.

Atlantic Coast Bank

The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. As part of this authority, Atlantic Coast Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. When these examinations are conducted by the OTS and the FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings institutions are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings institution’s total assets, to fund the operations of the OTS.

The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies, including Atlantic Coast Bank and Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the OTS is required.

In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of Atlantic Coast Bank is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the OTS. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. Atlantic Coast Bank is in compliance with the noted restrictions.

Atlantic Coast Bank’s general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank’s lending limit under this restriction was $12.2 million. Atlantic Coast Bank is in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation.

The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution, which fails to comply with these standards, must submit a compliance plan.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

Deposit accounts in Atlantic Coast Bank are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. Atlantic Coast Bank’s deposits, therefore, are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments.

On February 15, 2006, federal legislation to reform federal deposit insurance was enacted. This new legislation requires, among other things, an increase in the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $130,000 (with a cost of living adjustment to become effective in five years). The legislation also requires the reserve ratio to be modified to provide for a range between 1.15% and 1.50% of estimated insured deposits.

Effective March 31, 2006, the FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) into a single fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result of the merger, the BIF and the SAIF were abolished. The merger of the BIF and the SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund does not affect the authority of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 1.24 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution

On November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations that assess insurance premiums based on risk. As a result, the new regulation will enable the FDIC to more closely tie each financial institution’s deposit insurance premiums to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, which becomes effective in the beginning of 2007, the FDIC will evaluate the risk of each financial institution based on its supervisory rating, its financial ratios, and its long-term debt issuer rating. The new rates for nearly all of the financial institution industry will vary between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. At the same time, the FDIC also adopted final regulations designating the reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund during 2007 at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank did not pay any federal deposit insurance premiums under the existing assessment schedule.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Federally insured savings institutions, such as Atlantic Coast Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The OTS has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio or core capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings institutions. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Atlantic Coast Bank meets the requirements to be considered adequately capitalized, as well as those required to be well capitalized. The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, as defined by regulation. Tangible capital generally includes common stockholders’ equity and retained income, and certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income. In addition, all intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, must be deducted from tangible capital for calculating compliance with the requirement. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had $2.9 million of intangible assets consisting of goodwill of $2.7 million and net core deposit intangible of $227,000.

At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had tangible capital of $77.5 million, or 9.3% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $64.9 million above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 4.0% of adjusted total assets unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card relationships. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had $2.9 million of intangibles, which were subject to these tests. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had core capital equal to $77.5 million, or 9.3% of adjusted total assets, which is $44.1 million above the minimum requirement of 4.0% in effect on that date.

The OTS also requires savings institutions to have core capital equal to 4% of risk-weighted assets (“Tier 1”). At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had Tier 1 risk-based capital of $77.5 or 13.1% of risk-weighted assets, which is approximately $53.9 million above the minimum on such date. The OTS also requires savings institutions to have total capital of at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital as defined above and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The OTS is also authorized to require a savings institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 90% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

On December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had total risk-based capital of $82.2 million and risk-weighted assets of $590.0 million; or total capital of 13.9% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $35.0 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date.

The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against savings institutions that fail to meet their capital requirements. The OTS is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an “undercapitalized institution,” which is an institution with less than either a 4.0% core capital ratio, a 4.0% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and until the plan is approved by the OTS, may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The OTS is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.

As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company controlling an undercapitalized institution must agree that it will enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the institution’s achievement of its capital requirements.

Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios of less than 3.0% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0% and is considered “significantly undercapitalized” will be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes “critically undercapitalized” because it has a tangible capital ratio of 2.0% or less is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the OTS must appoint a receiver, or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC, for a savings institution, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any undercapitalized institution is also subject to the general enforcement authority of the OTS and the FDIC, including the appointment of a conservator or a receiver.

The OTS is also generally authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on Atlantic Coast Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on its operations and profitability.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

OTS regulations impose various restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.

Generally, savings institutions, such as Atlantic Coast Bank, that before and after the proposed distribution are well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OTS may have its dividend authority restricted by the OTS. Atlantic Coast Bank may pay dividends to Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation in accordance with this general authority.

Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the OTS prior to such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well capitalized following the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations, must obtain OTS approval prior to making such distribution. The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See “- Regulatory Capital Requirements.”

Liquidity

All savings institutions, including Atlantic Coast Bank, are required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test

All savings institutions, including Atlantic Coast Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank was in compliance with the test.

Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a national bank charter or become subject to the restrictions applicable to national banks, unless it re-qualifies as a qualified thrift lender within one year of failure and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. If such an institution has not yet re-qualified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new FHLB borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such an institution has not re-qualified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies.

Community Reinvestment Act

Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC-insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the OTS, in connection with the examination of Atlantic Coast Bank, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Atlantic Coast Bank. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS. Due to the heightened attention being given to the Community Reinvestment Act in the past few years, Atlantic Coast Bank may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its local community. Atlantic Coast Bank was examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance and received a rating of satisfactory in its latest examination.

Transactions with Affiliates

Generally, transactions between a savings institution or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the institution’s capital. Affiliates of Atlantic Coast Bank include Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and any company, which is under common control with Atlantic Coast Bank. In addition, a savings institution may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings institutions as affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

In addition, the OTS regulations prohibit a savings institution from lending to any of its affiliates that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary.

Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must generally be made on terms substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals.

Privacy requirements of the GLBA

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, provided for sweeping financial modernization for commercial banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the United States. Among other provisions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institutions’ privacy statement and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of personal information with unaffiliated third parties.

USA PATRIOT Act

The USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law on October 26, 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act gives the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA PATRIOT Act also requires the federal banking agencies to take into consideration the effectiveness of controls designed to combat money laundering activities in determining whether to approve a merger or other acquisition application of a member institution. Accordingly, if the Company engages in a merger or other acquisition, controls designed to combat money laundering would be considered as part of the application process. Management has established policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations.

Federal Securities Law

The stock of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation stock held by persons who are affiliates of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was signed into law by President Bush on July 30, 2002, in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandated additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements. Savings institutions are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window,” but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

Atlantic Coast Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by the board of directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing.

As a member, Atlantic Coast Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Atlanta. At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank had $7.9 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, Atlantic Coast Bank has received substantial dividends on its FHLB stock. Atlantic Coast Bank received dividends of $412,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Over the past two fiscal years such dividends have averaged 5.01% and were 5.73% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Under federal law, the Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of Atlantic Coast Bank’s FHLB stock may result in a corresponding reduction in Atlantic Coast Bank’s capital.

Competition

The Bank faces strong competition in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Lately, another element of competition for real estate lending in the Florida market has come from the financing arms of national builders who have increased their production in the Florida market. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. For purchased loans, the Bank faces competition from other lenders and investors.

The majority of deposits are attracted through the Bank’s branch and ATM network. Competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments. The Bank competes for these deposits by offering superior service, competitive rates and a unique ATM arrangement that gives the Bank’s customers use of all competitor ATM at a discounted or no fee charge. As of December 31, 2006, management believes that the Bank held 1.75% of the deposits in its primary market areas.

Employees

At December 31, 2006, the Bank had a total of 177 employees, including 15 part-time employees. The Company’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The business, and an investment in the common stock, involves risks. Summarized below are the risk factors which management believes are material to the business and could negatively affect operating results, financial condition and the trading value of the common stock. Other risks factors, not currently known to management, or that are currently deem to be immaterial or unlikely, also could adversely affect the business. In assessing the following risk factors, the reader should also refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Risks Relating to the Business

The loan portfolio possesses increased risk due to the substantial number of multi-family, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, which could increase the level of provision for loan losses.

The Bank’s outstanding commercial real estate, commercial business, construction, multi-family, and automobile and other consumer loans accounted for approximately 27.1% of the total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2006. Generally, management considers these types of loans to involve a higher degree of risk compared to first mortgage loans on one- to four-family, owner occupied residential properties. These loans have higher risks than loans secured by residential real estate for the following reasons:

·	*Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Business Loans.* Repayment is dependent on income being generated by the rental property or business in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.

·	*Commercial and Multi-Family Construction Loans.* Repayment is dependent upon the completion of the project and income being generated by the rental property or business in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.

·	*Single Family Construction Loans.* Repayment is dependent upon the successful completion of the project and the ability of the contractor or builder to repay the loan from the sale of the property or obtaining permanent financing.

·	*Multi-Family Real Estate Loans.* Repayment is dependent on income being generated by the rental property in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.

·	*Consumer Loans.* Consumer loans (such as automobile loans) are collateralized, if at all, with assets that may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the loan due to depreciation, damage or loss.

Management plans to continue to increase emphasis on construction, commercial and commercial real estate loans. As such, management may determine it necessary to increase the level of provision for loan losses. Increased provisions for loan losses would negatively affect the results of operation. For further information concerning these risks, see Item 1. Business -“Lending Activities” and “- Asset Quality.”

The loan portfolio possesses increased risk due to rapid expansion and the overall unseasoned nature of the portfolio.

From December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2006, the balance of the gross loan portfolio has grown from $337.1 million to $640.5 million, an increase of 90.0% with approximately 66% of that growth occurring in the last three years. Much of this growth is in one- to four-family residential properties generally located throughout southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida. As a result of this rapid expansion, a significant portion of the loan portfolio is unseasoned, with the risk that these loans may not have had sufficient time to perform to properly indicate the potential magnitude of losses. During this time frame, the Bank has also continued to experience a historically low interest rate environment. The unseasoned adjustable rate loans have not, therefore, been subject to an interest rate environment that causes them to adjust to the maximum level and may involve repayment risks resulting from potentially increasing payment obligations by the borrower as a result of repricing. At December 31, 2006 there were $394.3 million in adjustable rate loans which made up 61.6% of the loan portfolio.

The geographic concentration in loans secured by one- to four- family residential real estate may increase credit losses, which could increase the level of provision for loan losses.

As of December 31, 2006 approximately 71.4% of the total loan portfolio was secured by first or second liens on one- to four-family residential property, primarily in southeastern Georgia and northeastern Florida. A major downturn in the local or national economy, or a sudden change in interest rates could adversely affect the Bank’s loan customers’ ability to repay their loans. In the event that the Bank is required to foreclose on a property securing a mortgage loans or pursue other remedies in order to protect the Bank’s investment, there can be no assurance that the Bank will recover funds in an amount equal to any remaining loan balance as a result of prevailing economic conditions, real estate values and other factors associated with the ownership of real property. As a result, the market value of the real estate or other collateral underlying the loans may not, at any given time, be sufficient to satisfy the outstanding principal amount of the loans. Consequently, the Bank would sustain loan losses and potentially incur a higher provision for loan loss expense.

If the allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual losses, income may be negatively affected.

In the event that loan customers do not repay their loans according to their terms and the collateral security for the payments of these loans is insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance, the Bank may experience significant loan losses. Such credit risk is inherent in the lending business, and failure to adequately assess such credit risk could have a material adverse affect on the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of the borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of the loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loans losses, management reviews the loan portfolio and the Bank’s historical loss and delinquency experience, as well as overall economic conditions. If management’s assumptions are incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may be insufficient to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio, resulting in additions to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is also periodically reviewed by the OTS, who may disagree with the allowance and require the Bank to increase the amount. Additions to the allowance for loans losses would be made through increased provisions for loan losses and would negatively affect the bank’s results of operations.

Dependence on the management team to implement business strategy and execute successful operations.

The Bank is dependent upon the services of its senior management team. The operations and strategy are directed by the senior management team, a third of whom, have joined the Bank since October 2004. Currently, only the president and chief executive officer, who has served in such position since 1983, and the chief financial officer, have an employment contract. Any loss of the services of the president and chief executive officer or other members of the management team could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s results of operations, its ability to implement its business strategy and the Bank’s ability to compete in the market.

Changes in interest rates may hurt profits.

To be profitable, the Bank must earn more money in interest received on loans and investments than it pays in interest to depositors and lenders. The Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Discount rate four times during 2006, from 4.25% to 5.25%, with all increases occurring during the first six months of 2006. The Federal Discount rate has a direct correlation to general rates of interest, including the Bank’s interest-bearing deposits. As explained in more detail in Item 7A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” the Bank’s mix of asset and liabilities are considered to be sensitive to interest rate changes. Accordingly, if interest rates continue to rise, net interest income could be reduced because interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, increases more quickly than interest received on interest-earning assets, including loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. In addition, rising interest rates may negatively affect income because higher rates may reduce the demand for loans and the value of mortgage-related and investment securities. On the other hand, if interest rates decrease, net interest income could increase. However, in a declining rate environment, the Bank may be susceptible to the payoff or refinance of high rate mortgage loans that could reduce net interest income. For a further discussion of how changes in interest rates could impact the Bank, see Item 7 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

Strong competition in the primary market area may reduce the ability to attract and retain deposits and obtain loans.

The Bank operates in a very competitive market for the attraction of deposits, the primary source of funding, and the ability to obtain loans through origination or purchase. Historically, the Bank’s most direct competition for deposits has come from credit unions, community banks, large commercial banks and thrift institutions within its primary market areas. Particularly in times of extremely low or extremely high interest rates, the Bank has faced significant competition for investors’ funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. During periods of regularly increasing interest rates competition for interest bearing deposits increases as customers, particularly time deposit customers, tend to move their accounts between competing businesses to obtain the highest rates in the market. Competition for loans comes principally from mortgage bankers, commercial banks, other thrift institutions, insurance companies and credit unions. Such competition for deposits and the origination and purchase of loans may limit future growth and earnings prospects.

If economic conditions deteriorate, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted as borrowers’ ability to repay loans declines and the value of the collateral securing loans decreases.

The Bank’s financial results may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including decreases in real estate values, changes in interest rates which may cause a decrease in interest rate spreads, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and the Georgia and Florida state governments and other significant external events. The Bank holds approximately 26.0% of the deposits in Ware County, the county in which Waycross, Georgia is located. On the contrary, the Bank has less than 1.0% of the deposits in the Jacksonville, Florida, metropolitan area. Additionally, the Bank’s market share of loans in Ware County is significantly greater than its share of the loan market in the Jacksonville metropolitan area. As a result of the concentration in Ware County, the Bank may be more susceptible to adverse market conditions in that market. Due to the significant portion of real estate loans in the loan portfolio, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on earnings.

The Bank operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

Atlantic Coast Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision, its chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures Atlantic Coast Bank’s deposits. As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which financial institutions and their holding companies may engage and are intended primarily for the protection of the federal deposit insurance fund and depositors. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operations of financial institutions, the classification of assets by financial institutions and the adequacy of financial institutions’ allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation, could have a material impact on Atlantic Coast Bank and Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation.

The Bank’s operations are also subject to extensive regulation by other federal, state and local governmental authorities, and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions that impose requirements and restrictions on operations. These laws, rules and regulations are frequently changed by legislative and regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that changes to existing laws, rules and regulations, or any other new laws, rules or regulations, will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect the business, financial condition or prospects.

Risks Relating to an Investment in Common Stock

Stock price may be volatile due to limited trading volume.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market System. However, the average daily trading volume in the Stock Company’s common stock is relatively small, less than approximately 10,000 shares per day in 2006, and sometimes significantly less than that. As a result, trades involving a relatively small number of shares may have a significant effect on the market price of the common stock, and it may be difficult for investors to acquire or dispose of large blocks of stock without significantly affecting the market price.

Public stockholders own a minority of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s common stock and will not be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s holding company, Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC owns approximately 63.3% of the common stock. Directors and executive officers own or control approximately 7.1% of the common stock. The same directors and executive officers that manage Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation, also manage Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC. Public stockholders who are not associated with the MHC or Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation own approximately 29.6% of the common stock. The Board of Directors of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders because the MHC owns a majority of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s common stock. For example, Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC may exercise its voting control to prevent a sale or merger transaction in which stockholders could receive a premium for their shares or to approve employee benefit plans.

Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options awarded to directors and management will dilute public stockholder ownership.

Directors and management currently hold options to purchase approximately 560,000 shares of common stock, or 4.1% of total common stock outstanding. There are an additional 145,000 shares available for future awards of options under the current stock option plan, or 1.0% of the common stock outstanding. Stock options are paid for by the recipient in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The payments are not made until the option is actually exercised by the recipient. The issuance of common stock pursuant to the exercise of total stock options under the stock option plan will result in the dilution of existing stockholders voting interests by 5.1% unless shares are repurchased to cover such exercise.

Ability to pay dividends is limited.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s ability to pay dividends is limited by regulatory requirements and the need to maintain sufficient consolidated capital to meet the capital needs of the business, including capital needs related to future growth. The primary source of income is the payment of dividends from Atlantic Coast Bank to the Stock Company. Atlantic Coast Bank, in turn, is subject to regulatory requirements potentially limiting its ability to pay such dividends and by the need to maintain sufficient capital for its operations and obligations. Thus, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to pay dividends to common stockholders, no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such dividends, and no assurance that such dividends, if and when paid, will be maintained, at the same level or at all, in future periods.

Atlantic Coast Federal MHC may never convert from a mutual stock to a capital stock form which could adversely affect the market value of the common stock.

Management believes that the current market price of the common stock is partly based on anticipation by investors that the parent company, Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC will convert from mutual form to capital stock form in the future. This conversion, which is commonly known as a “second-step conversion,” would permit members of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC to purchase shares of successor common stock, and allow the Company’s stockholders, other than Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC, to exchange their shares for a number of shares in the new stock company based upon an exchange ratio that ensures that such stockholders own the same percentage in the new company that they owned in Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation immediately prior to the conversion. A “second-step conversion” requires the approval of the members, the Company’s stockholders and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The market value of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s stock could be adversely affected if investors sell the common stock because they no longer anticipate that a “second-step conversion” is imminent in the near term.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “ACFC.” As of March 23, 2007, there were 14,813,469 shares of common stock issued, with approximately 2,000 stockholders, including approximately 1,500 beneficial owners and other persons or entities holding stock in nominee or “street name” accounts with brokers.

The Company began paying quarterly dividends in May 2005 using earnings from investments and uninvested proceeds received from the minority share stock offering on October 4, 2004. Future dividend payments by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation will be primarily dependent on dividends it receives from its subsidiary, Atlantic Coast Bank. Under OTS regulations, the dollar amount of dividends that Atlantic Coast Bank may pay is dependent upon its capital position and recent earnings. Generally, if Atlantic Coast Bank satisfies its capital requirements it may make dividend payments up to the limits prescribed in the OTS regulations. See Business -“How We Are Regulated-Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions.” Atlantic Coast Bank may not declare or pay a dividend on, or repurchase any, of its common stock if the effect thereof would cause the regulatory capital of the institution to be reduced below the amount prescribed by the OTS for adequately capitalized institutions.

The following table sets forth the quarterly market price range of, and dividends declared on, the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s common stock for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, as provided by NASDAQ:

The 2005 income tax expense includes a benefit of $895 for the elimination of a tax-related contingent liability for the same amount. The tax-related contingent liability had been established by the Company in 2000 upon becoming a taxable entity and reflected the tax effect of the bad deduction taken by the Company in 2000 and 2001 calendar tax years. The Company believed the filing position was supportable based upon a reasonable interpretation of the federal income tax laws and the underlying regulations. However, due to the lack of prior rulings on similar fact patterns, it was unknown whether the accounting method would be sustained upon audit by either the federal or state tax authorities. The applicable statute of limitations expired with respect to the 2001 tax year on September 15, 2005, making the contingent liability unnecessary.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Restatement

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 to amend and restate financial statements and certain other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These amendments restate the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other financial information for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, previously reported on Form 10-K. These amendments are being filed to change the Company’s accounting for certain interest rate swap derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”).

The Company has now determined that although these swaps were economically effective, the initial assessment of matching critical terms for the interest rate swaps and the corresponding hedged FHLB advances was incorrect. In each circumstance, the interest rate swap contained an embedded written option that allowed the counterparty to terminate the interest rate swap under certain conditions, while the FHLB advance did not contain such matching terms. The Company did have the option to prepay the FHLB advances, however, it was not a contractual requirement. Since the interest rate swaps and the FHLB advances did not have absolute parity and the critical terms of the instruments did not completely match, the Company and its Audit Committee have concluded that the swap transactions did not qualify as cash flow hedges and, therefore, any fluctuations in the market value of the interest rate swaps, including any accrued interest, should have been included in other non-interest income resulting in quarterly and annual mark-to-market adjustments. As originally recorded, fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income, with accrued interest recorded as a reduction of interest expense on FHLB advances. There is no effect on cash flows or total stockholders’ equity from these revisions.

For additional information on the restatement, see Note 1, Restatement in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

General

Historically, the Bank’s principal business has consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and the business community and making loans secured by various types of collateral, including real estate and other consumer assets. The Bank is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, particularly interest rates, as well as government policies and regulations concerning among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Attracting and maintaining deposits is influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investments offered by other financial and non-financial institutions, account maturities, fee structures, and level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are affected by the demand for funds and thus are influenced by interest rates, the number and quality of lenders and regional economic growth. Sources of funds for lending activities of the Bank include deposits, borrowings, payments on loans, maturities of securities and income provided from operations, as well as proceeds obtained in the minority stock offering. Earnings are primarily dependent upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income and interest expense.

Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on such loans and investments. Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on such deposits and borrowings. Earnings are also affected by the Bank’s provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains from sales of loans, commission income, interchange fees, other income, non-interest expenses and income taxes. Non-interest expenses consist of compensation and benefit expenses, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing costs, outside professional services, interchange fees, advertising expenses, telephone expense, and other expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances, including, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, performance of the economy, financial condition of borrowers and laws and regulations. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, accounting for deferred income taxes, and the valuation of goodwill. Accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required by considering the past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated value of any underlying collateral, whether the loan was originated through the Bank’s retail network or through a broker, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired. Loans individually evaluated are generally large balance and/or complex loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans. This evaluation is often based on significant estimates and assumptions due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change. The general component relates to large groups of small balance homogeneous loans that are evaluated in the aggregate based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses and related provision expense are susceptible to material change in the near term as a result of significant changes in individual borrower circumstances on larger balance loans. The allowance for loan losses was $4.7 million at December 31, 2006, and $4.6 million at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.73% at December 31, 2006, and 0.78% as of December 31, 2005. The provision for loan losses for each quarter of 2006 and 2005, and the total for the respective years is as follows:

	2006			2005
	(In Millions)
First quarter	$	0.1		$	0.5
Second quarter		0.2			0.6
Third quarter		(0.1	)		0.4
Fourth quarter		0.3			0.6
Total	$	0.5		$	2.1

This data demonstrates the manner in which the allowance for loan losses and related provision expense can change over long-term and short-term periods. Changes in economic conditions, the nature and size of the loan portfolio and individual borrower conditions can dramatically impact the required level of allowance for loan losses, particularly for larger individually evaluated loan relationships, in relatively short periods of time. The allowance for loan losses allocated to individually evaluated loan relationships was $500,000 at December 31, 2006 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $500,000, primarily due to the improved financial condition of several borrowers. Management anticipates that there will continue to be significant changes in individual specific loss allocations in future periods as changes in borrowers’ financial condition, estimates of underlying collateral and the impact of economic changes are difficult to predict and can vary widely as more information becomes available or as projected events change.

Valuation of Goodwill

The Bank assesses the carrying value of goodwill at least annually in order to determine if it is impaired. In reviewing the carrying value of goodwill, management assesses the recoverability by evaluating the fair value of the Company’s community banking segment, which is the Bank’s only business segment. Any impairment would be required to be recorded during the period identified. The Bank’s goodwill totaled $2.7 million as of December 31, 2006; therefore, if goodwill was determined to be impaired, the financial results could be materially impacted.

Deferred Income Taxes

After converting to a federally chartered savings association, Atlantic Coast Bank became a taxable organization. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary difference between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations are subject to interpretation with respect to the determination of the tax basis of assets and liabilities for credit unions that convert charters and become a taxable organization. Since Atlantic Coast Bank’s transition to a federally chartered thrift, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation has recorded income tax expense based upon management’s interpretation of the applicable tax regulations. Positions taken by the Company in preparing federal and state tax returns are subject to the review of taxing authorities, and the review by taxing authorities of the positions taken by management could result in a material adjustment to the financial statements.

Business Strategy

The Bank has concentrated its lending efforts on the origination of residential real estate loans along with various consumer loans and other secured commercial loans (including commercial real estate and small business lending) for portfolio retention. Additionally, the business strategy emphasizes retail deposits along with FHLB advances as the Bank’s principal sources of funds.

The Bank’s primary objective is to remain an independent, community-oriented financial institution, serving customers in its primary market area. The board of directors has sought to accomplish this objective through the adoption of a strategy designed to maintain profitability, a strong capital position and high asset quality. This strategy primarily involves: (i) emphasizing the origination of residential real estate loans, home equity lending, and where opportunity presents itself, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, and small business loans, (ii) maintaining a portfolio of securities with various types of investments that enable the Company to balance risk, rate of return and liquidity needs, (iii) controlling operating expenses while providing high-quality customer service, (iv) purchasing one-to four-family residential mortgage loans for the purpose of interest rate risk management, and (v) increasing non-interest income through expansion of products and services to deposit customers.

After completing the initial minority stock offering, approximately one-half of the net proceeds were contributed to Atlantic Coast Bank. The remaining funds were initially invested in mortgage-backed securities, FHLB bonds, short-term commercial paper, and short-term time deposits at Atlantic Coast Bank. As these investments matured the funds have been used for general operating purposes, including dividends and stock purchase programs. Atlantic Coast Bank invested the contributed funds in short-term securities purchased with agreements to resell, short-term FHLB bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and residential one to four family mortgage loans.

The Bank also used the additional capital raised in the minority stock offering to support expansion efforts in northeast Florida and southeast Georgia through normal expansion of products and services and the expansion and/or improvement of the Bank’s retail branch network. During 2006, the Bank opened a new branch in St. Johns County just south of Jacksonville, Florida, completed construction for opening in early 2007 of a new location to replace an existing older leased facility in Neptune Beach, Florida and obtained zoning approval for a new owned facility to be built in 2008 at a second St. Johns County site. The results of operations may be significantly impacted by the Bank’s ability to effectively implement its plans for expansion. Should the Bank be unable to attract significant new business through its expansion efforts, financial performance could be negatively impacted.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005

General. Balance sheet growth for the period ended December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005 reflects a double-digit increase for the second consecutive year. Deposit growth slightly exceeded loan demand, allowing the Bank to internally fund the loan growth. Investment securities grew as the Company leveraged its borrowings.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents is comprised principally of balances held in other depository institutions. It is expected that the balances maintained in cash and cash equivalents will fluctuate as other interest earning assets mature, management identifies opportunities for longer-term investments that fit the Company’s growth strategy, or daily operating liquidity increases or decreases.

Securities available for sale. Securities available for sale is comprised primarily of debt securities of U.S. Government-sponsored organizations that issue mortgages, or mortgage-backed securities. In the near-term management expects the composition of the investment in securities available for sale to continue to be heavily weighted in mortgage-backed securities or the debt of U.S. Government-sponsored organizations that issue mortgages. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Bank purchased approximately $61.6 million of investment securities, which includes securities purchased to replace those designated for sale as of March 31, 2006 (see Comparison of Results of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 - Non-interest Expense), nearly all of which were mortgage-backed securities or the debt of government-sponsored organizations.

Real estate mortgages held for sale. Real estate mortgages held for sale are comprised entirely of loans secured by one- to four-family residential residences. Approximately $5.9 million of the balance outstanding at December 31, 2006, is composed of individual residential mortgage loans assigned to the Bank in connection with a loan agreement with a mortgage broker entered into during 2006. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Bank provides funds to the mortgage broker for individual mortgage loan closings. In exchange the Bank accepts an assignment of the individual mortgage loan pending its sale to various third-party investors arranged by the mortgage broker. Upon acceptance for purchase by the third-party investors, the loan agreement requires the Bank to reassign the loan back to the mortgage broker at par, for completion of the third-party sale. The Bank receives interest income upon the sale of these loans for the period of the assignment. As of December 31, 2006, the weighted average number of days outstanding of real estate mortgages held for sale was 20 days.

Loans. Following is a comparative composition of net loans as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

	As of December 31,												Increase (decrease)

Loans, net	$	639,517					$	580,441					$	59,076			10.2	%

The composition of the net loan portfolio is heavily weighted toward loans secured by first mortgages, home equity loans, or second mortgages on one- to four-family residences. These loan categories represented approximately 66% and 70% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The relatively modest increase in Bank’s largest loan category, one- to four-family residential mortgages, reflects a change made to the marketing strategy in the second half of 2005 to reduce emphasis on this category of loans due to the on-going flat/inverted yield curve, which has continued to hold interest rates on longer-term loans low relative to the Company’s cost of funds. More recently, growth has been negatively impacted by the slowing in residential real estate sales activity in the Bank’s markets. Recent reports by state and national real estate organizations have reported substantial declines in residential real estate sales activity in the Northeast Florida markets, as well as in Florida in general. As a result of these factors, management believes that growth in one- to four-family residential mortgages will be slow to moderate in the near term. During 2006, in order to supplement internal retail loan origination volumes, the Company purchased $36 million of variable-rate one-to four-family residential loans. Depending on liquidity, earning needs and the supply of high-quality loans management expects to continue to purchase adjustable rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to supplement internal loan originations and maintain current loan portfolio balances.

The Company’s loan portfolio is also heavily weighted in the state of Florida with 68 percent of one- to four-family loans being secured by properties in Florida. Georgia represents the second highest concentration with 27 percent of total one- to four-family loans. At December 31, 2006, 95 percent of the Bank’s residential construction loan portfolio was concentrated in Florida. 2006. At the end of 2006, approximately $17.9 million of the outstanding one- to four-family construction loan balances were associated with builders who had three or more concurrent projects with Atlantic Coast Bank.

	Georgia		Florida		Other States		Total
1-4 Family First Mortgages	$	86,283	$	225,959	$	21,758	$	334,000
1-4 Family Second Mortgages		35,622		54,769		671		91,062
1-4 Family Construction Loans		1,653		30,814		-		32,467
	$	123,558	$	311,542	$	22,429	$	457,529

Total loan growth during 2006 was achieved primarily from home equity loans, construction loans (primarily for the construction of one- to four-family residential properties) and other real estate collateralized loans. The growth in other real estate collateralized loans has been primarily from loans to real estate developers for the acquisition and development of one- to four-family residential developments. The interest rate terms for these loan types are generally indexed to the current prime rate, and accordingly have more favorable interest margins relative to the Bank’s cost of funds. The majority of the construction loan balances at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are composed of loans acquired from mortgage brokers under arrangements that require the balance to be paid off with permanent financing form a third-party lender at the completion of construction. Given the current interest rate environment the Company expects to continue to focus its lending efforts in the near term on home equity lending products and financing the construction of one- to four-family residences.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Allowance for loan losses was .73% and .78% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Allowance for loan losses activity for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

	2006			2005
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Beginning balance	$	4,587		$	3,956
Loans charged-off		(1,215	)		(2,326	)
Recoveries		858			836
Net charge-offs		(357	)		(1,490	)
Provision for loan losses		475			2,121
Ending balance	$	4,705		$	4,587

Net charge-offs to average outstanding loans was .06% in 2006 as compared to .27% in 2005. Gross charge-offs in 2005 included a charge of $605,000 in the second quarter of 2005 for the remaining balance of a commercial real estate loan relationship which had been made for the construction of a commercial water treatment plant. There were no similar large charge-offs during 2006.

The allowance for loan losses consists of general allowance allocations made for pools of homogeneous loans and specific allocations on individual loans for which management has significant concerns regarding the borrowers’ ability to repay the loans in accordance with the terms of the loans. Non-performing loans totaled $3.1 million and $2.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and total impaired loans decreased to $2.0 million at December 31, 2006 from $4.5 million at December 31, 2005, due to improving credit conditions of borrowers or loan payoffs. The total allowance allocated for impaired loans was $0.5 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. As of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, all non-performing loans were classified as non-accrual, and the Bank did not have any restructured loans or loans 90 days past due and accruing interest as of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans, excluding small balance homogeneous loans, were $1.1 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, all such non-performing loans were also reported as impaired loans.

Included in nonperforming loans is a pool of small equipment and automobile leases the Bank purchased in 2001. The balance of the leases, net of the allowance for loan and lease losses allocated, was $623,000 and $634,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. During 2005 the Bank signed a settlement agreement with the bankruptcy trustee of the seller, which led to the receipt of $297,000 in lease payments that were being held by the trustee. This payment, along with approximately $11,000 in 2006 and $9,000 in 2005, was applied to the principal balance outstanding. The leases are backed by surety bonds and the Company has filed a claim with the insurance company for approximately $1.7 million plus interest, which represents the balance of the leases at the time regular payments ceased in late 2001 less amounts received in 2005 and 2006. The insurance company has denied the claim, alleging the seller of the leases engaged in fraudulent lending activities. The Bank, along with numerous other creditors who purchased the leases, has pursued collection of its claim by filing a lawsuit against the insurance company. Legal costs incurred in association with the collection of the leases were $212,000 and $335,000 for 2006 and 2005 and are recorded in outside professional services in the consolidated statements of income.

The previous charge-offs on these leases and the current level of allowance for loan losses allocation for the remaining balance of these leases are indicative of management's best estimate of the probable losses incurred, based on consultation with legal counsel. Management continues to vigorously pursue collection on the surety bonds, including the $623,000 ($773,000 remaining balance less $150,000 allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses) net amount included in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2006. Management believes that there is a possibility that no amount will be collected in the future; therefore, additional losses may be incurred up to the $623,000. Collection of the full $1.7 million claim may also occur, although this is not considered likely as the Bank likely will need to settle at some lower amount, and may not collect any amount.

Deposits. Savings and money market deposit account balances grew during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the end of 2005, as the Bank increased the interest rates paid on its money market products to meet the rate of competitors in its markets. While raising the interest rates was necessary to both protect and grow deposit balances, management believes to a certain degree it has led to a disintermediation within the Bank’s deposit products, particularly from interest-bearing demand accounts, whose balances have declined during the year partially off setting the growth in money market account balances over the same period of time.

The increase in time deposits as of December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, includes approximately $6.7 million of additional brokered deposits. The brokered deposits have been used to replace maturing certificate of deposits and fund loan growth. Management expects future deposit growth as the Bank expands its products and services in new and existing markets particularly in core deposits. Additionally, management anticipates that the Company will continue to purchase brokered deposits to meet liquidity demands when interest rates are favorable.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Historically, the Company has only utilized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta or broker originated certificates of deposit as an alternative to organic deposits for funding its lending and investment activities. While management expects FHLB advances to continue to be a significant source of funds in the future, the Company also initiated its first financing arrangement involving the sale of securities under an agreement to repurchase during 2006 to take advantage of favorable interest rates relative to deposits with comparable maturities.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are secured by mortgage-backed securities with a carrying amount of $29.0 million at December 31, 2006 with maturities beginning in February 2011, or, beginning in February 2007, individual advances may be terminated in whole by the lender each following quarter. At maturity or termination, the securities underlying the agreements will be returned to the Company. At the date of the transaction, the interest rate was fixed at 4.53% until February 2007, at which time it converts to a floating rate of 8.50% minus 3-month LIBOR up to a maximum rate of 5.75%.

Depending on the availability of suitable securities and the prevailing interest rates and terms of alternative source of funds, the Company may continue to sell securities under agreements to repurchase in the future.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The Bank borrows funds from the FHLB to support its lending and investment activities. The increase in FHLB borrowings as December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005, is due to additional advances of $40.0 million used to replace $25.0 million of advances that matured in 2006 and fund lending growth. In connection with its asset liability management strategy, the Company pre-paid a $5.0 million advance from the FHLB during the second quarter of 2006. The advance, which did not have a pre-payment penalty, had an original maturity date of February 2014 and an interest rate based on the 3-month LIBOR plus 22 basis points. At the same time the Company also terminated an interest rate swap agreement prior to maturity it had used to hedge the FHLB advance.

FHLB advances had a weighted-average maturity of 71 months and a weighted-average rate of 4.42% at December 31, 2006. The Company expects to continue to utilize FHLB advances to manage short and long-term liquidity needs to the extent it has borrowing capacity, needs funding and the interest cost of FHLB advances is attractive compared to deposits and other alternative source of funds.

Stockholders’ Equity

Net other comprehensive income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 resulted from an increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities of $204,000. Going forward, management expects changes in interest rates to continue to cause swings in unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

During 2006, the Company’s board of directors declared regular quarterly cash dividends in the aggregate of $0.42 per share. Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC which holds 8,728,500 shares, or 63.3% of the Stock Company’s total outstanding stock, has waived receipt of the dividend on its owned shares for each quarter of 2006. Total dividend payments waived by the MHC were $3.7 million. Management expects the MHC to waive receipt of payment on future dividends for its owned shares.

In August 2006 Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation completed its stock repurchase plan that began in early November 2005 by repurchasing approximately 200,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $17.28 per share. In September 2006 the Stock Company’s Board of Directors approved a new repurchase plan to permit the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation to purchase, over a 12-month period, up to 10%, or 478,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. Following the approval of the new stock repurchase plan the Stock Company repurchased approximately 190,000 shares at an average price of $17.92 per share. As of December 31, 2006 approximately 288,000 shares of common stock remained to be repurchased under this plan although no assurances can be made regarding the number of shares, if any, that will actually be purchased, or the price that will be paid for such shares.

The Company’s equity to total assets ratio decreased to 10.81% at December 31, 2006, from 12.49% at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the rate of asset growth through December 31, 2006 and the stock purchase program. Despite this decrease, Atlantic Coast Bank continued to be well in excess of all minimum regulatory capital requirements, and is considered “well-capitalized” under this requirement. Total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.9%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.1%, and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets was 9.3% at December 31, 2006. These ratios as of December 31, 2005 were 15.9%, 15.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $5.1 million, an increase of $104,000 over the year ended December 31, 2005. Net interest income increased 7.7%, or $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2006 to $21.7 million, compared to 2005, as a result of growth in interest earning assets combined with an increase in the interest yield on such assets that more than offset the rising cost of deposits. Provision for loan losses decreased 77.6%, or $1.6 million to $475,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $2.1 million in 2005, on the basis of improved credit quality. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 grew by 0.9% to $8.0 million, as compared to $7.9 million in 2005, due primarily to increased service charges and fees. The slight increase in non-interest income was offset by increased non-interest expense which grew $2.1 million, or 10.5%, to $21.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $19.6 million in 2005, due to increased compensation and benefit costs and other operating costs.

Interest income. As shown in the table above the increase in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, is largely due to the rate earned on interest-earning assets, although growth in average outstanding interest-earning assets also contributed to such growth. Loans accounted for approximately 81% of the interest income growth, or $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005. While the majority of the increased interest income from loans was due to increased average outstanding balances, the Company also increased its yield on average outstanding loan balances as a result of growth in prime interest rate-based loans. As discussed above in “Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 - Loans,” the flat/inverted yield curve over the last 12 months and a softening in residential real estate sales has led the Company to increase its emphasis on prime rate interest-based loans, such as home equity lending, construction loans and commercial real estate loans. The growth in average outstanding balances of home equity loans, construction loans and commercial real estate loans for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, accounted for approximately 76%, or $49.1 million of the total $64.3 million in average loan growth. During the same period, the average prime rate increased 100 basis points from 7.25% to 8.25%.

The growth in interest income from investment securities and other interest-earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005 was due to increased yields on these assets which have tracked upward consistent with increases to short-term interest rates.

Management expects interest income will increase as average interest earning assets and interest rates on such assets increase. Growth in interest earning assets is partly dependent on funding from deposit growth in existing markets and the opening of new branches in the second-half of 2006. Interest income could be adversely impacted by continued low interest rates on longer-term loans, such as one- to four-family residential loans and the availability of the type of interest earning-assets desired for investment by the Company.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, was partially due to growth in average outstanding balances of interest-bearing deposit accounts, but more significantly due to increases to interest rates paid on those accounts. During the period of time from the end of 2005, until the end of 2006, the Federal Reserve Board increased the target rate for Federal Funds borrowings by 100 basis points, from 4.25% to 5.25%. In general, this has led to significant rate increases to interest-bearing deposit accounts in the Bank’s markets, where competition for deposits among financial institutions is intense. In order to fund loan growth and maintain deposit market share, the Company has increased interest rates on its money-market accounts, interest bearing demand accounts and time deposits. The rate of interest expense on FHLB advances has remained relatively flat for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, as new advances have generally had longer maturities and, therefore the Company has benefited from the flat or inverted yield curve. Given the current interest rate environment, and the intense competition for deposits in the Bank’s market, management does not expect interest rates paid on deposits to decline in the near term.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased during the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, as the growth in interest income outpaced the growth in interest expense. As discussed above, increases in prime rate based loans has, in part, enabled the Bank to increase the overall yield of the loan portfolio, in addition to steady growth in average outstanding balances. In addition yields on securities have increased as short-term interest rates have tracked upward. Net interest spread, which is the difference between the interest yield earned on interest earning assets and the interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, decreased 7 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005. For the same comparative periods, net interest margin, which is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets decreased 7 basis points.

While the net interest spread and net interest margin held up reasonably well, declining only 7 basis points for the year, the Company experienced significant margin compression during the fourth quarter of 2006. During this period, deposit growth of $27 million significantly outpaced loan growth of $15 million. Further, the deposit growth occurred in the highest tiers of the Bank’s money market account and time deposits. This deposit growth in the most expensive deposit products during a period when loan growth did not keep pace led to a net interest margin decline of 21 basis points to 2.85% in the fourth quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Management anticipates continued interest margin compression in the near term.

Provision for loan losses. The Bank establishes the provision for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level required to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, the source of origination of those loans, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions, source of loan origination, and other relevant data. Larger non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific allowance allocations are provided for such loans when necessary.

Based on management’s evaluation of these factors, provisions of $475,000 and $2.1 million were made during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a decline in specific reserves for large non-homogenous loans as a result of improved credit quality and a decrease in net-charge offs. For the year ended December 31, 2006 net charge-offs were $357,000, while for 2005, net charge-offs were $1.5 million.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses based on all known and inherent losses that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may necessarily be based on changes in economic conditions and changes in borrower situations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2006, is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income. The components of non-interest income for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

							Increase(decrease)
	2006			2005			Dollars			Percentage
	(Dollars in Thousands, restated)
Service charges and fees	$	5,745		$	5,351		$	394			7.4	%
Net loss on available for sale securities		(163	)		(80	)		(83	)		103.8	%
Gain on sale of real estate mortgages
held for sale		67			121			(54	)		-44.6	%
Commission income		314			406			(92	)		-22.7	%
Interchange fees		791			752			39			5.2	%
Bank owned life insurance earnings		840			603			237			39.3	%
Other		411			784			(373	)		-47.6	%
	$	8,005		$	7,937		$	68			0.9	%

Services charges and fees, which are earned primarily based on transaction services for deposit account customers, increased as a result of increased ATM and check card overdraft fees which began in the third quarter of 2005. The implementation of overdraft fees for ATM and check card overdrafts was part of a several fee initiatives started in 2005, which focused on improving the Bank’s discipline over service charge fees and collections. Management expects the growth of service charges and fees to be flat as most of the initiatives became fully effective in the third and fourth quarters of 2005. New growth will principally result from expanded products and services in existing markets and new branches opened in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007.

The net loss on available for sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2006, was due to the recognition of an impairment loss on certain FHLB debt securities held at the end of the first quarter of 2006 for $177,000. The impairment loss was estimated based on the difference between the original cost of the securities and their estimated fair value as March 31, 2006. The securities were sold during the second quarter for an actual loss of $163,000 and the loss recorded at the time the securities were identified for disposal was adjusted to the actual loss at the time of the sale. The securities disposed of had an original purchase cost of $16.0 million and a weighted average yield of 3.84%. They were identified for disposal in an effort to improve the Company’s net interest margin. During the second quarter of 2006 the Company purchased a like amount of securities with a weighted average interest rate of 5.77%.

The growth in bank owned life insurance earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, was due to an increase in the average amount invested from $14.9 million in 2005 to $20.9 million in 2006.

Other non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 included a $10,000 decrease to the fair market value of outstanding interest rate swap agreements. During 2004, as part of its asset and liability management strategy, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount totaling $10.0 million and $15.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to economically hedge the risk of changing interest rates associated with certain floating rate FHLB advances. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company terminated, prior to its contractual maturity, one of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements having a $5.0 million notional value and repaid, without penalty, the associated FHLB advance that the interest rate swap was economically hedging. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $10.0 million, $5.0 million of which matured in the third quarter of 2006, to economically hedge the variable portion of the home equity portfolio against the possibility of declining interest rates. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair market value of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements was $637,000 and $647,000, respectively.

Non-interest expense. The components of non-interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

					Increase (decrease)
	2006		2005		Dollars			Percentage
	(Dollars in thousands)

Compensation & benefits	$	10,947	$	9,369	$	1,578			16.8	%
Occupancy and equipment		2,228		1,738		490			28.2	%
Data processing		1,483		1,348		135			10.0	%
Advertising		847		609		238			39.1	%
Outside professional services		1,994		2,286		(292	)		-12.8	%
Interchange charges		491		624		(133	)		-21.3	%
Collection expense and repossessed asset losses		267		341		(74	)		-21.7	%
Telephone		500		539		(39	)		-7.2	%

	$	21,679	$	19,616	$	2,063			10.5	%

Compensation and benefit expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, was primarily due to increased salaries of $487,000, as well as a $355,000 increase in the recognition of compensation expense for awards made under the Company’s share-based compensation plans reflecting the full year cost of the awards made in July 2005. The remaining increase to compensation and benefit expense was primarily due to increased costs of $524,000 associated with the Company’s retirement plan for certain officers and directors. Normal annual merit increases for associates account for a portion of the increase, along with additional associates for sales and service of private banking customers in Florida and new branch personnel hired in advance of the Julington Creek branch opening in October 2006. Occupancy and equipment charges increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily due to increased building and equipment maintenance costs, including the refurbishment costs at two branches during the third quarter of 2006, along with higher real estate tax expenses. The increased data processing costs for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to 2005, were primarily due to increased software licensing costs for the Company’s operating system, the fees for which are based partly on the asset size of the Company. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company completed negotiations on a new contract for software licensing with terms that will result in reduced costs. Advertising expenses for 2006 increased compared to 2005, as the Company has been more active in marketing through print and television advertisements. Outside and professional services cost decreased for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 2005, as the Company incurred significant fees associated with Sarbanes-Oxley initiatives and tax planning initiatives in 2005 that were not incurred in 2006.

In general, management expects non-interest expenses will increase in future periods as a result of continued growth, expansion, and the costs associated with the Company’s operation as a public company.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, from $1.3 million for 2005. The increase was primarily due to the elimination of a tax-related contingent liability in the third quarter of 2005 of $895,000. The contingent liability had been established by the Company in 2000 upon becoming a taxable entity and reflected the tax effect of a tax accounting method utilized by the Company in 2000 and 2001 calendar tax years. The Company believed the filing position was supportable based upon a reasonable interpretation of federal income tax laws and the underlying regulations. However, due to the lack of prior rulings on similar fact patterns, it was unknown whether the accounting method would be sustained upon audit by either federal or state tax authorities. The applicable statute of limitations expired with respect to the 2001 tax year on September 15, 2005, making the contingency reserve unnecessary. In addition income tax expense increased in 2006 as compared to 2005 due to an increase in income before income tax expense when comparing the two periods. The effective income tax rate on income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 31.7%, compared to 34.6% for 2005 before the tax benefit of $895,000. The decline in the effective tax rate is primarily due to increased income from Bank Owned Life Insurance, which is not taxable for federal income tax purposes. It is anticipated that income tax expense will continue to vary as income before income taxes varies.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $5.0 million which was $1.7 million more than for the same period in 2004. Approximately 50% of this increase, or $895,000 is due to the recognition of a tax benefit from the elimination of a tax-related contingent liability. Net interest income was relatively flat from 2004 to 2005, due primarily to growth in higher interest -bearing deposit account balances, such as money market and time deposits, resulting in a higher cost of funds. The provision for loan losses expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, decreased $854,000 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2004, on the basis of improved credit quality. Non-interest income for 2005 grew by 52.4% to $7.9 million as compared to $5.2 million in 2004, due primarily to the implementation of several new service charges and fee income initiatives and a $466,000 increase in the fair market value of outstanding interest rate swap agreements. Non-interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 13.7%, to $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, from $17.3 million for the same period in 2004, due to increased compensation and benefit costs and outside professional services costs.

Interest Income. The increase in interest income for the years ended December 31, 2005, as compared to 2004, is primarily due to growth in interest earning assets, principally loans. The decline in yields on loans reflects a continuingly low interest rate environment for first mortgages on one- to four-family residential loans, which is the Company’s principal loan asset, in spite of increases in short-term interest rates. Meanwhile, for the same comparable periods, increased interest income on securities has been primarily due to growth in outstanding balances, although the Bank has benefited some from rising yields available on securities. The majority of increased interest income from other interest-earning assets in 2005, as compared to 2004, has been as a result of investments in higher yielding assets, primarily FHLB stock acquired consistent with increased advances.

The Company experienced an increase in total interest income from loans in 2005, as compared to 2004, but there was a decline in total loan yield between the two years. The reduction in the yield is due to the change in the mix of the loan portfolio over the last four years. Beginning in 2002, the Company instituted a strategy to significantly change the mix of its loan portfolio. At the beginning of 2002, approximately 34.0% of the Bank’s loan portfolio was consumer loans, principally automobile and credit card loans for which the Company was experiencing substantial net charge-offs that mitigated their relatively higher yields. As of December 31, 2005, consumer loans represented less than 11.0% of total loans outstanding. The Company’s loan growth over that same period of time has primarily been in one- to four-family residential loans which represents approximately 56.0% of total loans outstanding compared to 45.0% at the beginning of 2002. While the transformation to the mix of the loan portfolio has been successful, it has occurred during a period of time when interest rates on home mortgage lending have been at historical low levels. Approximately 65.0% of the Company’s one- to four-family loan portfolio now consists of adjustable-rate loans, as compared to 22.0% at the beginning of 2002, however much of the adjustable-rate loan growth in 2003 and 2004, consisted of hybrid adjustable-rate loans, whereby the interest rate is fixed for a period of time, before adjusting to the current market rate. Interest rates for hybrid adjustable rate loans added in 2003 and 2004, generally did not adjust in 2005.

All growth in interest income from loans in 2005, as compared to 2004, was as a result of growth in total average outstanding loans from $485.0 million in 2004 to $549.0 million in 2005. Due to the market competition for loans in general, and a flat yield curve, interest rates for new one- to four-family mortgages in 2005 were not significantly higher than interest rates in 2004 despite several rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. As a consequence, the Company focused its growth efforts on home equity lending and one- to four-family construction loans (See “Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004-Loans”) that have interest rates tied to the current prime lending rate and tracked upward during 2005 following Federal Reserve Board rate increases through the year. Although the total average annual yield on loans decreased to 6.12% in 2005, from 6.27% in 2004, the quarterly loan yields during 2005 generally tracked upward.

Interest Expense. Approximately 56% of the increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, was due to growth in average outstanding balances of interest-bearing demand accounts, time deposits and advances from the FHLB. The remaining interest expense growth was due to rate increases for interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and time deposits. The rate increases during the third quarter of 2005, for money market and time deposits, have generally been made to remain competitive within the market as deposit rates have increased in response to Federal Reserve Board rate hikes. The interest rates on interest-bearing demand accounts are above the rates for comparable products in the Bank’s market for large deposits in order to attract new customers and grow core deposits. In 2005, the marketing program for the interest-bearing demand account product was very successful in attracting new deposits, with limited movement from existing customer accounts. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased 21 basis points during 2005 as compared to 2004 as a result of significant increases in short-term rates over the period. As part of its on-going asset and liability management strategy, management paid off higher priced shorter term FHLB advances while new FHLB advances were taken with longer maturities to lower the weighted average rates in an effort to better match the duration of the one- to four-family residential loan portfolio with the duration of the FHLB advances. FHLB advances totaling $84.0 million, including half of the $40.0 million new advances in 2005, are convertible to adjustable-rate borrowings at the discretion of the FHLB, at specific conversion dates in the future. If the FHLB does convert the current fixed rate advances to adjustable rates, the Company has the option to pre-pay the advance without penalty.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. However, net interest spread and net interest margin, declined 67 basis points to 2.62% and 58 basis points to 3.06%, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 due to decline in yields on loans combined with an increase in cost-of-funds consistent with market rates. The decrease in both ratios for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, was due to a 15 basis point decrease in yield on the loan portfolio, while cost-of-funds increased 59 basis points. As discussed above rapid loan growth in 2003 and 2004, primarily in the Bank’s largest loan category, adjustable rate one- to four-family residential mortgages (“ARMs”), as well as the near-complete refinancing of the existing residential mortgage portfolio, occurred during a period of unprecedented low interest rates. Due to the various interest rate reset terms of the Bank’s ARM products, increases in market interest rates in 2005 did not generally cause the interest rates on these loans to adjust upward. The increase in cost-of-funds was due to increased interest rates on deposits which tracked upward in 2005, following Federal Reserve Board rate increases.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank establishes provision for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level required to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, the source of origination of those loans, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions, sources of loan origination, historical underwriting experience with the particular loan products, and other relevant data. Larger non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific allowance allocations are provided for such loans when necessary.

Based on management’s evaluation of these factors, provisions of $2.1 million and $3.0 million were made during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The provision for loan losses in 2005 was reduced over 2004, as allocations for non-homogeneous loans declined because of improved borrower financial conditions and loan payoffs.

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses as necessary in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses based on all known and inherent losses that are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future loan loss provisions may be necessary, based on changes in economic conditions and changes in borrower situations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2005, is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income. The components of non-interest income for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

	For the year ended December 31,						Increase(decrease)
	2005			2004			Dollars			Percentage
	(Dollars in Thousands, restated)
Service charges and fees	$	5,351		$	3,777		$	1,574			41.7	%
Gain on sale of real estate mortgages
held for sale		121			186			(65	)		-34.9	%
Gain(loss) on sale of securities
available for sale		(80	)		(39	)		(41	)		-105.1	%
Gain(loss) on sale of foreclosed assets		40			97			(57	)		-58.8	%
Commission income		406			301			105			34.9	%
Interchange fees		752			663			89			13.4	%
Bank owned life insurance earnings		603			173			430			248.6	%
Other		744			50			694			1388.0	%
	$	7,937		$	5,208		$	2,729			52.4	%

Services charges and fees, which are earned primarily based on transaction services for deposit account customers, increased as a result of initiatives implemented in the first and third quarters of 2005. These initiatives focus on improving the Bank’s discipline over service charge and fee collections. Concurrent with the implementation of the initiatives, the Company also increased its service charges and fees for certain transactions to be inline with market competitors.

Commission income is earned by the Company from third party financial services provider, when Atlantic Coast Bank customers purchase financial services or products from the financial services provider. Commission income from such sales increased during the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, primarily as a result of initiatives to increase the productivity of sales representatives, including hiring of an additional representative for the Florida market.

Bank owned life insurance earnings increased during the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, as the Company’s investment increased to $20.5 million as of December 31, 2005 from $4.9 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in 2005 is due to additional investments of $15.0 million, as well as earnings accrued to the policies.

Other non-interest income increased $694,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, to $744,000, as compared to $50,000 in 2004 due primarily to a $466,000 increase in the fair market value of outstanding interest rate swap agreements.

Non-interest expense. The components of non-interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

	For the years ended December 31,				Increase(decrease)
	2005		2004		Dollars			Percentage
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Compensation and benefits	$	9,368	$	8,541	$	827			9.7	%
Occupancy and equipment		1,738		1,406		332			23.6	%
Data processing		1,348		1,088		260			23.9	%
Advertising		609		440		169			38.4	%
Outside professional services		2,286		1,797		489			27.2	%
Interchange charges		624		637		(13	)		-2.0	%
Collection expense and repossessed
asset losses		341		200		141			70.5	%
Telephone		539		536		3			0.6	%
Other		2,763		2,611		152			5.8	%
	$	19,616	$	17,256	$	2,360			13.7	%

Compensation and benefit expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, increased primarily due to increased salary and general benefit expense and recognition of compensation expense for awards made under the Company’s share-based compensation plans implemented in 2005. Salary and general benefit expense for 2005 increased approximately $428,000, or 5.0% over 2004, primarily due to increased compensation for all associates for normal annual merit adjustments, as well as higher salary expenses resulting from management changes made to the retail branch network management team. At the annual shareholders meeting in May 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the establishment of the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation 2005 Recognition Retention Plan (the “Recognition Plan”) for the award of restricted stock to directors and key employees. Shareholders also approved the establishment of the Atlantic Coast 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) for the award of stock options to directors and key employees. Compensation expense in 2005 associated with awards made to directors and key employees in the third and fourth quarter of 2005 was $399,000. The increase in the cost of outside professional services for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, is primarily due to costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley initiatives and various tax planning initiatives. Occupancy and equipment charges have increased for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004, due to higher real estate taxes, increased utilities and the additional lease expense associated with the Company’s Florida Regional Center, which became occupied in latter part of the first quarter of 2005. The increased data processing costs for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004, are primarily due to increased software licensing costs for the Company’s bank operating system, which is priced according to asset size and number of users. Advertising expense increased for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due increased television and print media advertising for new deposit and loan products in 2005. Collection expense and repossession expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to outsourced services associated with bankruptcy issues and other repossession activities.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased to $1.3 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, from $1.8 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease is due to the elimination of a tax-related contingent liability of $895,000 set up in 2000 when the Company became a taxable entity. The contingent liability had been established by the Company in 2000 upon becoming a taxable entity and reflected the tax effect of a tax accounting method utilized by the Company in 2000 and 2001 calendar tax years. The Company believed the filing position was supportable based upon a reasonable interpretation of federal income tax laws and the underlying regulations. However, due to the lack of prior rulings on similar fact patterns, it was unknown whether the accounting method would be sustained upon audit by either federal or state tax authorities. The applicable statue of limitations expired with respect to the 2001 tax year on September 15, 2005, making the contingency reserve unnecessary.

Liquidity

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation relies on a number of different sources in order to meet its potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts and cash flows from loan payments and the securities portfolio.

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005 the Company had additional borrowing capacity of $106 million and $90 million, respectively, with the FHLB of Atlanta. Additionally, the Company has existing lines of credit available in excess of $22 million with other financial institutions. The Company has classified its entire securities portfolio as available for sale, providing an additional source of liquidity. Management believes that Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s security portfolio is of investment grade quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. The Company also can utilize brokers to obtain certificates of deposits at costs and terms that are comparable to certificate of deposits originated in its branch network. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $39.4 million and $32.7 million of certificates of deposits obtained through brokers that were purchased to replace maturing branch originated certificates of deposits or to help meet loan demands. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 these certificates of deposits had a weighted average maturity of 20.0 months and 19.0 months, and a weighted average rate of 4.56% and 3.53%, respectively. In addition, the Company has historically sold mortgage loans in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and to create an additional source of liquidity.

During 2006, cash and cash equivalents increased $3.1 million from $38.0 million as of December 31, 2005, to $41.1 million as of December 31, 2006. Cash from operating activities of $3.1 million, combined with cash from financing activities of $92.0 million, exceeded cash used for investing activities of $92.1 million. Primary sources of cash were from net increases in deposit accounts of $56.7 million, FHLB borrowings of $40.0 million, proceeds from sale of securities $29.0 million, proceeds from maturities and payments of available-for-sale securities of $17.8 million and proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale of $16.7 million. Approximately $58.0 million of the increase in deposits came from savings and money market growth in 2006, as compared to 2005, the majority of which matures in less than 12 months. The additional borrowings from the FHLB were used to replace maturing FHLB debt of $25.0 million and fund loan growth. Primary uses of cash included purchases of available-for-sale securities of $61.6 million, purchase of loans to be held in portfolio of $36.0 million and origination of loans to be held in portfolio of $24.8 million. In addition, during 2006, the Company used cash of $6.9 million to purchase shares of its common stock to be held as treasury stock and paid quarterly cash dividends of $1.9 million to common stockholders. (See Capital Resources below.)

During 2005, cash and cash equivalents increased $12.3 million from $25.7 million as of December 31, 2004, to $38.0 million as of December 31, 2005. Cash from operating activities of $9.5 million, combined with cash from financing activities of $98.2 million, exceeded cash used for investing activities of $95.5 million. Primary sources of cash were from net increases in deposits of $80.6 million, additional FHLB borrowings of $40.0 million, proceeds from maturities and payments of available-for-sale securities of $29.0 million, $11.8 million for the sale of securities purchased under agreements to resell and proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale of $10.1 million. Approximately $52.0 million of the increase in deposits came from certificates of deposit growth in 2005, as compared to 2004, the majority of which matures in less than 12 months. The additional borrowings from the FHLB were used to replace maturing FHLB debt of $11.3 million and the remainder was used to fund loan growth. Primary uses of cash included purchases of available-for-sale securities of $58.6 million, purchase of loans to be held in portfolio of $46.2 million, origination of loans to be held in portfolio of $19.9 million, purchase of additional bank owned life insurance policies of $15.0 million and principal payments on FHLB debt of $11.3 million. In addition, the Company used cash of $9.6 million to purchase shares of its common stock to be held as treasury stock and paid quarterly cash dividends of $1.5 million to common stockholders.

As of December 31, 2006, management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which, if they were implemented, would have or reasonably likely to have a material adverse affect on the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table presents Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s longer-term, non-deposit related, contractual obligations, commitments to extend credit to borrowers and purchase commitments, in aggregate and by payment due dates.

Capital Resources

At December 31, 2006, equity totaled $91.1 million. During 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $0.42 per common share that were paid with the proceeds of maturities and payments of available-for-sale securities. Net of dividends waived by the MHC for its owned shares in the amount of $3.7 million, the Company’s equity was reduced $2.0 million in 2006 for dividends declared. The Company expects for the near term, that the MHC will continue to waive receipt of its dividends. The decision to pay dividends in the future is dependent on operating results, capital and liquidity requirements, however the Company expects to continue dividend payments in 2007.

Equity in 2006 was also impacted by common stock repurchase programs. As of December 31, 2006 the Company held as Treasury stock 1,029,139 shares of common stock at an average per share cost of $15.90, or $16.0 million. The Company conducted two separate stock repurchase programs during 2006. Under the first program, approximately 200,000 shares were purchased to replace shares issued under the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan. As of the end of 2006 execution of the second repurchase program had resulted in the purchase of approximately 190,000 shares of a planned total purchase of 478,000 shares. Management expects to complete purchase of the approximate 288,000 remaining shares during 2007. Initiation of future share repurchase programs is dependent on liquidity, opportunities for alternative investments and capital requirements.

Management monitors the capital levels of Atlantic Coast Bank to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions. Atlantic Coast Bank is required by the OTS to meet minimum capital adequacy requirements. Atlantic Coast Bank’s actual and required levels of capital as reported to the OTS at December 31, 2006, are as follows:

											To Be Well
											Capitalized Under
						For Capital					Prompt Corrective
	Actual					Adequacy Purposes					Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
	(Dollars in Millions)
As of December 31, 2006
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	82.2		13.9	%	$	47.2		8.0	%	$	59.0		10.0	%
Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	77.5		13.9	%	$	23.6		4.0	%	$	35.4		6.0	%
Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets)	$	77.5		9.3	%	$	33.4		4.0	%	$	41.7		5.0	%

At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements and is considered to be “well capitalized.” In addition, as of December 31, 2005, management was not aware of any recommendation by a regulatory authority that, if it were implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Under regulations of the OTS, limitations have been imposed on all “capital distributions” by savings institutions, including cash dividends. See Business- “How We Are Regulated-Limitations on Dividends and Capital Distributions.” During 2007, Atlantic Coast Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $10.1 million, plus any 2007 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

Inflation

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets and the Company’s profitability, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of inflationary changes in the consumer price index (“CPI”) coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having corresponding affect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase the cost of funds. In other years, the opposite may occur.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued or proposed accounting pronouncements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risk is one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. Interest rate risk is the possibility that changes in interest rates will negatively impact net income or the value of interest-rate sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. As such, the Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and FHLB advances, re-price more rapidly or at different rates than its interest earning assets.

In an effort to manage to its exposure to interest rate risk, the Company has adopted an asset and liability management policy set forth by the Board of Directors, and implemented by the Asset/Liability Committee. The objective of the Committee is to coordinate, control and communicate asset/liability management consistent with the Company’s business plan and board approved policies. The Committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow requirements in an effort to produce results that are consistent with the Company’s liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.

The Committee generally meets on a quarterly basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to market value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. The Committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The Committee is responsible for reviewing and reporting the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

A key element of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s asset/liability plan is to protect net earnings by managing the maturity or re-pricing mismatch between its interest-earning assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. Historically, the Company has sought to reduce exposure to its earnings through the use of adjustable rate loans and through the sale of certain fixed rate loans in the secondary market, and by extending funding maturities through the use of FHLB advances.

As part of its efforts to monitor and manage interest rate risk, the Company uses financial modeling techniques that estimate the impact of different interest rate scenarios on the value of the company’s equity. Referred to as Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”), this methodology measures the changes in equity due to the impact on net interest margin, over a five-year horizon, from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down 300 basis points. Management believes the EVE methodology improves the visibility of the effect of current interest rate risk on future earnings under increasing or decreasing interest rate environments. Accordingly, the Company believes it is in a better position to be proactive in reducing future interest rate risk through management of the growth of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities within a meaningful time horizon.

The table presented below, as of December 31, 2006, is an analysis of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s interest rate risk as measured by changes in EVE for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down 300 basis points. Also presented, for comparative purposes, is the EVE as of December 31, 2005 considering the same interest rate changes.

(1)	Expressed as number of years before asset/liability reprices to achieve stated rate of interest rate increase

(2)	Represents the cumulative five year pre-tax impact on the Company's equity due to increased or (decreased) net interest margin

The December 31, 2006 table above indicates that, under any of the interest rate change scenarios presented, Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation has a positive differential in duration. Essentially, this means that the time it takes for the Company’s assets to re-price for the assumed interest rate changes exceeds the time it takes for the liabilities to re-price for the same interest rate changes. Accordingly, the Company is considered liability sensitive, although less so in a decreasing interest rate environment. Therefore, for instantaneous increases in interest rates of 1%, 2% or 3%, the Company’s equity is estimated to decrease in value by $2.8 million, $6.3 million and $9.5 million respectively. For the assumed instantaneous interest rate decreases of 1%, 2% or 3%, the Company’s equity is estimated to increase $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million.

Comparing the December 31, 2006 table to the December 31, 2005 table, the Company became less sensitive to interest rate changes during 2006, particularly in scenarios with declining interest rates. This was accomplished through efforts on both sides of the balance sheet. Longer-term single family mortgages were de-emphasized in favor of prime rate based loans, and retail sales efforts were focused on interest checking and money market deposits rather than time deposits, resulting in a better matching of re-pricing timelines which in turn shortened the duration differential. Additionally, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings were executed with longer terms, in an effort to manage asset and liability maturities, which further reduced the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. The end result of these changes was to move the Company to a more interest rate neutral balance sheet.

In managing its asset/liability mix, the Company, depending on the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing its net interest margin than on strictly matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Management believes that the increased net income which may result from an acceptable mismatch in the actual maturity or re-pricing of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide sufficient returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates which may result from such a mismatch. Management believes that Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s level of interest rate risk is acceptable under this approach.

In evaluating Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s exposure to interest rate movements, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables must be considered. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or re-pricing periods, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM’s), have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a significant change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed above. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation considers all of these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Board of Directors and management of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation believe that certain factors afford Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation the ability to operate successfully despite its exposure to interest rate risk. Atlantic Coast Federal manages its interest rate risk by originating and retaining adjustable-rate loans in its portfolio and by selling most of the currently originated fixed-rate, one-to-four family real estate loans. The Company also uses interest rate swap agreements to economically hedge the risk associated with changes in interest rates. As such, during 2004 the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount totaling $10.0 million and $15.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to economically hedge the risk of changing interest rates on certain floating rate FHLB advances. Under the terms of these interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays the counterparty a fixed rate of interest based on the notional amount and receives interest based on a floating rate of interest. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company terminated, prior to its contractual maturity, one of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements having a $5.0 million notional value and repaid, without penalty, the associated FHLB advance that the interest rate swap was economically hedging. In addition, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $10.0 million, $5.0 million of which matured in the third quarter of 2006, to economically hedge the variable portion of the home equity portfolio against the possibility of declining interest rates. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair market value of the outstanding interest rate swap agreements was $637,000 and $647,000, respectively.

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation’s investment strategy is to maintain a diversified portfolio of high quality investments that balances the goals of minimizing interest rate and credit risks while striving to maximize investment return and provide the liquidity necessary to meet funding needs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

NOTE 1 - RESTATEMENT

Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006, to amend and restate financial statements and certain other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These amendments restate the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other financial information for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, previously reported on Form 10-K. These amendments are being filed to change the Company’s accounting for certain interest rate swap derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”).

The Company has now determined that although these swaps were economically effective, the initial assessment of matching critical terms for the interest rate swaps and the corresponding hedged FHLB advances was incorrect. In each circumstance, the interest rate swap contained an embedded written option that allowed the counterparty to terminate the interest rate swap under certain conditions. Since the interest rate swaps and the FHLB advances did not have absolute parity and the critical terms of the instruments did not completely match, the Company has concluded and its Audit Committee has concurred, that the swap transactions did not qualify as cash flow hedges and, therefore, any fluctuations in the market value of the interest rate swaps, including any accrued interest, should have been included in other non-interest income resulting in quarterly and annual mark-to-market adjustments. As originally recorded, fluctuations in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in other comprehensive income, with accrued interest recorded as a reduction of interest expense on FHLB advances. There is no effect on cash flows or total stockholders’ equity from these revisions.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Atlantic Coast Bank ("Atlantic Coast Bank") together referred to as ("the Company"). Also included in the consolidated financial statements is Atlantic Coast Holdings, Inc (“Holdings”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Bank, formed for the purpose of managing and investing in certain securities as well as holding all of the common stock and 85% of the preferred stock of Coastal Properties, Inc., a Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”). The REIT was formed in the fourth quarter of 2005, for the purpose of holding Georgia and Florida first lien residential mortgage loans originated by Atlantic Coast Bank. The REIT is permitted a deduction for Federal income tax purposes of all dividends paid to its shareholders. The consolidated financials also include First Community Financial Services, Inc. ("FCFS"), an inactive wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Bank. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation is a majority owned (63.3%) subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Federal, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Atlantic Coast Federal MHC.

Atlantic Coast Bank provides a broad range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily in southern coastal Georgia and northern coastal Florida. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are generally expected to be repaid from the cash flows from the operations of the business. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers' ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. FCFS was originally formed to provide insurance and investment products and services for Atlantic Coast Bank's customers and surrounding communities. On December 31, 2003, the operations of FCFS were consolidated into Atlantic Coast Bank.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

On May 30, 2002, Atlantic Coast Bank adopted a Plan of Reorganization into a three-tier mutual holding company. The Plan of Reorganization became effective on January 1, 2003. Following the reorganization, Atlantic Coast Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation ("the Stock Company"), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast Federal MHC ("the Mutual Company"). The transaction was accounted for at historical cost. The principal activity of the Stock Company is the ownership of Atlantic Coast Bank. The principal activity of the Mutual Company is the ownership of the Stock Company.

Execution of Minority Stock Offering: On March 12, 2004, and amended on May 11, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Stock Company adopted a plan of stock issuance to sell a minority interest of its common stock to eligible depositors of Atlantic Coast Bank and its employee stock ownership plan in a subscription offering, with the Mutual Company retaining ownership of the majority of the common stock. The plan was accomplished on October 4, 2004 through the sale to eligible depositors of 5,353,480 shares and to the employee stock ownership plan of 465,520 for a total of 5,819,000 total shares sold at $10 per share, representing 40% of the Stock Company's stock.

The issued shares resulted in proceeds of $56.3 million, net of conversion expenses of $1.9 million. With the proceeds the Stock Company loaned its employee stock ownership plan $4.7 million to enable it to buy 8% of the shares issued to persons other than the Mutual Company. The Stock Company also contributed $28.2 million, which is approximately 50% of the proceeds net of stock offering costs of $1.9 million, to Atlantic Coast Bank as a capital contribution. The balance of the net proceeds was retained as the Stock Company's initial capitalization and was invested in time deposits at Atlantic Coast Bank and investment securities. Since the date of the stock offering, the proceeds have been used for general business purposes including additional investment in securities, repurchasing shares of its common stock and paying dividends. In the future the Company intends to continue to use the funds raised from the stock offering for these same purposes as well as pursuing acquisitions. The funds received by Atlantic Coast Bank have been principally invested in short-term interest bearing deposits at financial institutions, investment securities, loan growth and for growth through expansion of the branch office network.

Stock Repurchase Program: During the third quarter of 2005, the Company initiated the first of two stock repurchase programs conducted during the year. The initial repurchase program, which began in August of 2005 and concluded on September 20, 2005, resulted in the purchase of 285,131 shares of common stock to replace the shares issued for the Retention Plan and provide for future awards. In October 2005, the Company began its second stock repurchase program to purchase up to 10% of the remaining outstanding shares of common stock resulting in the purchase of 379,488 shares as of December 31, 2005. During 2006 the Company acquired an additional 394,338 shares of common stock outstanding. Total shares of common stock held in Treasury as of December 31, 2006 was 1,029,139 shares or 6.9% of total outstanding shares of common stock.

At December 31, 2006, the Mutual Company (the “MHC”) owned 63.3%, or 8,728,500 shares, of the outstanding common stock of the Stock Company, with the remaining 36.7%, or 5,055,830 shares held by persons other than the MHC and the Stock Company. The Stock Company holds 100% of Atlantic Coast Bank’s outstanding common stock.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses, realization of deferred tax assets, valuation of intangible assets including goodwill and the fair values of securities and other financial instruments are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents is defined to include cash on hand, cash due from financial institutions and short-term interest-earning deposits in both financial institutions and other investment companies. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions, deposit transactions, other interest bearing deposits made with other financial institutions and securities purchased under agreements to resell.

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company's ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Real Estate Mortgages Held for Sale: The Bank originates real estate mortgages for sale in the secondary market. Real estate mortgages held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate with adjustments for unrealized losses recorded in a valuation account by a charge against current earnings. Sales in the secondary market are recognized when full acceptance and funding has been received. Loans are generally sold servicing released.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned loan fees and costs, premiums on loans purchased, and an allowance for loan losses.

The Bank also purchases loans that conform to our underwriting standards, principally one- to four-family residential mortgages, in the form of whole loans as well as participation interests for interest rate risk management and portfolio diversification and to supplement our organic growth.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level yield method. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts on loans purchased. Premiums and discounts are amortized on the level yield method.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All accrued interest on loans placed on-non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required by considering the past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated value of any underlying collateral, whether the loan was originated through the Company’s retail network or through a broker, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans over $250 thousand by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis and subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less selling costs. Costs relating to improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to the holding of property are expensed.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: Atlantic Coast Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. Members are required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Land, Premises, and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and related components have useful lives ranging from 15 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment have useful lives ranging from 1 to 15 years. Interest expense associated with the construction of new facilities is capitalized at the weighted average cost of funds.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the cash value of the underlying insurance policy. Increases in the cash value are recorded as non-interest income.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, reduced for unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period increased for the dilutive effect of unvested stock options and stock awards. The dilutive effect of the unvested stock options and stock awards is calculated under the treasury stock method utilizing the average market value of the Company’s stock for the period.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulted from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment is recognized in the period identified. Other intangible assets consist of core deposit arising from branch acquisitions. Core deposit intangibles are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 4 to 10 years.

Long-Term Assets: Premises and equipment, core deposit and other intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Benefit Plans: Profit-sharing and 401k plan expense is the amount contributed as determined by Board decision. Deferred compensation plan expense is allocated over years of service.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, since the Company sponsors the ESOP with an employer loan, neither the ESOP's loan payable or the Company's loan receivable are reported in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Likewise the Company does not recognize interest income or interest cost on the loan. Unallocated shares held by the ESOP are recorded as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity. As shares are committed to be released for allocation, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the period. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Stock Compensation: The Company records compensation cost for stock or stock options awarded to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are currently any such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments including commitments to make loans and unused lines of credit, issued to meet customers' financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Derivatives: All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If derivative instruments are designated and qualify as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in earnings as they occur.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on securities available for sale, net of tax, and the fair value of cash flow hedges, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve of $710,000 and $4.0 million, at year end 2006 and 2005 respectively, was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. These balances do not earn interest.

Dividends: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Stock Company or by the Company to shareholders. The Mutual Company, with approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, may waive receipt of dividends paid by the Stock Company. Waived dividends are not charged to the Stock

Company’s retained earnings, nor restrict the amount of future dividends. During 2006 and 2005, the Mutual Company waived receipt of dividends in the amount of $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Stock Company paid no dividends in 2004.

Reclassifications: Certain items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Rounding: For comparative purposes all financial information has been presented in thousands of dollars unless otherwise indicated. As such, immaterial differences of + or - 1 may have occurred in order to conform to the current presentation.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, does not require new fair value measurements, however it does establish a common definition of fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is presently assessing the impact FAS 157 may have on its financial statements, but no determination has been made at this time.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. (“SFAS 158”) This accounting standard amends SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, SFAS No. 88, Employer Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions, and SFAS No. 132, Revised, Employer Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. Under SFAS 158, companies must recognize the over funded or under funded status of single-employer funded defined benefit plans as an asset or liability in its statement of financial condition. In addition, SFAS 158 requires changes in the funded status be recognized as part of comprehensive income as of the date of the company’s year-end statement of financial condition. Relative to the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan, and the related disclosure requirements, the effective date of SFAS 158 is fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 for companies with publicly traded equity securities. The requirement for measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the employers fiscal year-end statement of condition is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008 for publicly traded companies. The adoption of SFAS 158 did not have any material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1N, “Financial Statements - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 addresses how a public company should quantify the effect of an error on the financial statements by requiring a dual approach to compute the amount of a misstatement. The dual approach encompasses both a current year income statement perspective (“rollover” method) and a year-end balance sheet perspective (“iron curtain” method). Companies that will need to change their method of computing the amount of an error must adopt the dual approach for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have any effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF No. 06-4 will have a material effect on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (”EITF 06-5”). This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this issue will have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and 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, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or one of its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer's financial condition.

NOTE 4 - REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES HELD FOR SALE

Real estate mortgages held for sale are comprised entirely of loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties. Substantially all of the balance outstanding at December 31, 2006, is composed of individual residential mortgage loans assigned to the Company in connection with a mortgage broker loan agreement entered into during 2006. Under the terms of this loan agreement, the Company provides funds to the mortgage broker for individual mortgage loan closings. In exchange the Company accepts an assignment of the individual mortgage loan pending its sale to various third-party investors as arranged by the mortgage broker. Upon acceptance for purchase by the third-party investors, the loan agreement requires the Company to reassign the loan back to the mortgage broker at par, for completion of the third-party sale. The Company receives interest income upon the sale of these loans for the period of the assignment. As of December 31, 2006, the weighted average number of days outstanding of real estate mortgages held for sale was 20 days.

The charge-offs in 2004 include a $4 million charge-off on one lending relationship that was previously classified as an impaired loan. During the first quarter of 2004, the operations of the borrower ceased when key business permits necessary for the borrower to conduct ongoing operations were revoked by the municipality where the borrower operated. Accordingly, management recorded additional provision for loan losses on this lending relationship in the first quarter of 2004 as well as the $4 million charge-off. During 2005 an additional $605,000 of the loan relationship was charged-off, leaving a balance of $55,000.

Nonperforming loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified as impaired loans. For 2006 and 2005 contractual gross interest income of $90,000 and $149,000 would have been recorded on non-performing loans if those loans had been current.

Included in nonperforming loans is a pool of small equipment and automobile leases the Company purchased in 2001. The balance of the leases, net of the allowance for loan and lease losses allocated, was $623,000 and $634,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. During 2005 the Company signed a settlement agreement with the bankruptcy trustee of the seller, which led to the receipt of $297,000 in lease payments that were being held by the trustee. This payment, along with approximately $11,000 in 2006 and $9,000 in 2005, was applied to the principal balance outstanding. The leases are backed by surety bonds and the Company has filed a claim with the insurance company for approximately $1.7 million plus interest, which represents the balance of the leases at the time regular payments ceased in late 2001 less amounts received in 2005 and 2006. The insurance company has denied the claim, alleging the seller of the leases engaged in fraudulent lending activities. The Company, along with numerous other creditors who purchased the leases, has pursued collection of its claim by filing a lawsuit against the insurance company. Legal costs incurred in association with the collection of the leases were $212,000 and, $335,000 for 2006 and 2005 and are recorded in outside professional services in the consolidated statements of income.

The previous charge-offs on these leases and the current level of allowance for loan losses allocation for the remaining balance of these leases are indicative of the Company's best estimate of the probable losses incurred, based on consultation with legal counsel. Management continues to vigorously pursue collection on the surety bonds, including the $623,000 ($773,000 remaining balance less $150,000 allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses) net amount included in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2006. The Company believes there is a possibility that no amount will be collected in the future; therefore, the Company may incur additional losses up to the $623,000. Collection of the full $1.7 million claim may also occur, although this is not considered likely as the Company likely will need to settle at some lower amount, and may not collect any amount.

The Company has originated loans with directors and executive officers and their associates. These loans totaled approximately $3.0 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The activity on these loans for 2006 was as follows:

NOTE 12 - INTEREST RATE SWAPS (continued)

During 2004, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps agreements with notional amounts totaling $10 million as of December 31, 2006, to offset the risk of changing rates associated with two of its Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. These interest swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore, changes in market value are reported in current period earnings.

Summary information about these interest-rate swaps as of year-end is as follows:

	2006			2005
	(Dollars in Thousands, restated)
Notional amounts	$	10,000		$	15,000
Weighted average pay rates (fixed)		3.43	%		3.42	%
Weighted average receive rates (3 month LIBOR)		5.38	%		4.23	%
Weighted average maturity		7.1 years			8.1 years
Fair Market Value	$	668		$	702

The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is reflected in other assets with a corresponding debit of $34,000 in 2006, a credit of $521,000 in 2005, and a credit of $181,000 in 2004, to income recorded as a component of other non-interest income.

During the second quarter of 2006, in connection with its asset liability strategies, the Company terminated, prior to its contractual maturity, an interest rate swap agreement with a $5.0 million notional value. Upon termination of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company also repaid the associated FHLB advance, with no early termination fees.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $10.0 million. One of these agreements having a notional amount of $5.0 million matured in the third quarter of 2006. The Company entered these swaps as part of a strategy to economically hedge the variable portion of the home equity portfolio against the possibility of declining interest rates. These interest rate swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore, changes in market value are reported in current period earnings.

Summary information about these interest-rate swaps as of year-end is as follows:

	2006			2005
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Notional amounts	$	5,000		$	10,000
Weighted average pay rates (Prime)		8.25	%		6.79	%
Weighted average receive rates (fixed)		7.15	%		7.07	%
Weighted average maturity		0.7 years			1.1 years
Fair Market Value	$	(31	)	$	(55	)

The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements is reflected in other liabilities with a corresponding credit of $24,000 in 2006 and a charge of $55,000 in 2005 to income recorded as a component of other non-interest income.

NOTE 14 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In connection with the minority stock offering, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of its employees with an effective date of January 1, 2004. The ESOP purchased 465,520 shares of common stock from the minority stock offering with proceeds from a ten-year note in the amount of $4,655,000 from the Company. The Company's Board of Directors determines the amount of contribution to the ESOP annually but is required to make contributions sufficient to service the ESOP's debt. Shares are released for allocation to employees as the ESOP debt is repaid. Eligible employees receive an allocation of released shares at the end of the calendar year on a relative compensation basis. An employee becomes eligible on January 1^st or July 1st immediately following the date they complete one year of service. Company dividends on allocated shares will be paid to employee accounts. Dividends on unallocated shares held by the ESOP will be applied to the ESOP note payable.

Contributions to the ESOP were $625,000, $580,000 and $568,000 during 2006, 2005 and 2004. Contributions include approximately $142,000 and $75,000 in dividends on unearned shares in 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 15- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2005 the Company’s stockholders approved the establishment of both the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan (the “Recognition Plan”), and the Atlantic Coast Federal Corporation 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Recognition Plan for 2006 and 2005 was $595,000 and $289,000. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Stock Option Plan for 2006 and 2005 was $308,000 and $110,000. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for stock-based compensation for 2006 and 2005 was $287,000 and $76,000.

The Recognition Plan

The Recognition Plan permits the Company’s board of directors to award up to 285,131 shares of its common stock to directors and key employees designated by the board. Under the terms of the Recognition Plan, awarded shares are restricted as to transferability and may not be sold, assigned, or transferred prior to vesting. Awarded shares vest at a rate of 20% of the initially awarded amount per year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the award, and are contingent upon continuous service by the recipient through the vesting date. Any awarded shares which are forfeited, are returned to the Company to be re-awarded to another recipient. The Recognition Plan became effective on July 1, 2005 and remains in effect for the earlier of 10 years from the effective date, or the date on which all shares of common stock available for award have vested.

During 2006 the Company’s board of directors awarded 29,818 shares of common stock available under the Recognition Plan to directors and key employees. The restricted shares awarded during 2006 had a grant date fair value of $523,000.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of non-vested shares was $12.84 and $12.31 at December 31, 2006 and 2005. There was $2.3 million and $2.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares awarded under the Recognition Plan at December 31, 2006 and 2005. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.7 million no shares vested during 2005.

The Stock Option Plan

The Stock Option Plan permits the Company’s board of directors to grant options to purchase up to 712,827 shares of its common stock to the Company’s directors and key employees. Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, granted stock options have a contractual term of 10 years from the date of grant, with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Key employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, while outside directors are eligible for non-statutory stock options only. The Stock Option Plan also permits the Company’s board of directors to issue key employees, simultaneous with the issuance of stock options, an equal number of Limited Stock

Appreciation Rights (The Limited SAR). The Limited SAR are exercisable only upon a change of control and, if exercised, reduce one-for-one the recipient’s related stock option grants. Under the terms of the Stock Option Plan, granted stock options vest at a rate of 20% of the initially granted amount per year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant, and are contingent upon continuous service by the recipient through the vesting date. Accelerated vesting occurs if there is a change in control. The Stock Option Plan became effective on July 28, 2005 and terminates upon the earlier of 10 years after the effective date, or the date on which the exercise of Options or related rights equaling the maximum number of shares occurs.

During 2006 the Company’s board of directors awarded 50,613 incentive stock options to key employees with a weighted-average exercise price of $17.85.

NOTE 15- STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

The weighted-average fair value of each stock option awarded is estimated to be $3.45 on the date of grant, and is derived by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2006			2005
Risk-free interest rate		4.60% to 5.10	%		4.07% to 4.30	%
Expected term of stock options (years)		6.0			6.0
Expected stock price volatility		21.84% to 23.24	%		23.79	%
Expected dividends		3.12% to 3.64	%		2.65	%

The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock option. Although the contractual term of the stock options granted is 10 years, the expected term of the stock is less because option restrictions do not permit recipients to sell or hedge their options, and therefore, we believe this may result in exercise of the options before the end of the contractual term. The Company does not have sufficient historical information about its own employees or directors vesting behavior, therefore the expected term of stock options is estimated considering the results of similar companies. Also, since the Company did not begin trading its common stock publicly until October 5, 2004, there was limited history about the volatility of its own shares. Therefore the expected stock price volatility is estimated by considering its own stock volatility for the period since October 5, 2004, as well as that of a sample of similar companies over the expected term of the stock options. Expected dividend is the estimated dividend rate over the expected term of the stock options.

A summary of the option activity under the Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 2006, and changes for the year then ended is presented below:

The reserve had been established by the Company in 2000 upon becoming a taxable entity and reflected the tax effect of a tax accounting method utilized by the Company in 2000 and 2001 calendar tax years. The Company believed the filing position was supportable based upon a reasonable interpretation of federal income tax laws and the underlying regulations. However, due to the lack of prior rulings on similar fact patterns, it was unknown whether the accounting method would be sustained upon audit by either federal or state tax authorities. The applicable statue of limitations expired with respect to the 2001 tax year on September 15, 2005, making the contingency reserve unnecessary.

NOTE 17 - REGULATORY MATTERS

Atlantic Coast Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The prompt corrective action regulations provide for five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.

At December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Atlantic Coast Bank was classified as "well capitalized." There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2006 that management believes have changed the classification.

The Qualified Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If this test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, FHLB advances, and dividends, or Atlantic Coast Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes this test is met.

Banking regulations limit capital distributions by savings associations. Generally, capital distributions are limited to undistributed net income for the current and prior two years. During 2007, Atlantic Coast Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $10.1 million, plus any 2007 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

At December 31, 2006, the undisbursed portion of loans closed is primarily unfunded residential construction loans with fixed and variable rates ranging from 5.0% to 9.75%. At December 31, 2006, the unused lines of credit and commitments to fund loans were made up of both fixed rate and variable rate commitments. The fixed rate commitments totaled $28.1 million and had interest rates that range from 4.5% to 18.0%; variable rate commitments totaled $48.9 million and had interest rates that range from 4.55% to 11.5%. During 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a Florida mortgage broker that allows, but does not require, the Company to purchase up to $50.0 million of residential construction loans. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximately $16.3 million and $29.5 million was committed under this agreement.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had fully secured outstanding standby letters of credit commitments totaling $332,000 and $307,000.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

Since certain commitments to make loans, provide lines of credit, and to fund loans in process expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. In addition, commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those loans recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has employment agreements with its chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”). Under the terms of the agreements, certain events leading to separation from the Company could result in cash payments equal to two times the CEO’s salary and one and one-half times the CFO’s base salary. Since payments are contingent upon certain events, the Company accrues for no liability.

The Company maintains lines of credit with two financial institutions that total $22.5 million. There was no balance outstanding with either line as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Accrued interest payable		1,058		1,058		795		795
Interest rate swaps		31		31		55		55

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, other interest-bearing deposit in other financial institutions, securities purchased under agreements to resell, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest, demand and savings deposits and variable rate loans or deposits that re-price frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on quotes provided by the issuers of the interest rate swaps, who are the only permissible re-purchasers of the contracts. The estimated fair value of other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.
