From the FDIC: Centennial Bank, Conway, Arkansas, Assumes All of the Deposits of Gulf State Community Bank, Carrabelle, Florida

As of September 30, 2010, Gulf State Community Bank had approximately $112.1 million in total assets and $112.2 million in total deposits. ... The FDIC estimates that the cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) will be $42.7 million. ... Gulf State Community Bank is the 147th FDIC-insured institution to fail in the nation this year, and the 28th in Florida.

Another 40% or so loss on assets. Ouch.
