EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

Summary Results

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,552,000 compared to $2,322,000 for the same period of 2007 as after-tax securities gains decreased $993,000 (from $0 to a loss of $993,000). Included within the change in after-tax securities gains was an other than temporary impairment charge relating to certain equity securities held in the investment portfolio of $1,222,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $0.40 compared to $0.60 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.98% and 9.43% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 1.57% and 13.21% for the corresponding period of 2007. Net income from core operations ("operating earnings") increased 9.6% to $2,545,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $2,322,000 for the same period of 2007. Operating earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 10.0% to $0.66 basic and dilutive compared to $0.60 basic and dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

The nine months ended September 30, 2008 generated net income of $5,740,000 compared to $6,938,000 for the same period of 2007 due to a decline in after-tax securities gains of $1,542,000 (from a gain of $409,000 to a loss of $1,133,000). Included within the change in after-tax securities gains was an other than temporary impairment charge relating to certain equity securities held in the investment portfolio of $1,601,000. Earnings per share, basic and dilutive, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1.49 as compared to $1.78 for the comparable period of 2007. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.21% and 11.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 1.57% and 12.63% for the corresponding period of 2007. Operating earnings increased 5.3% to $6,873,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $6,529,000 for the comparable period of 2007 resulting in basic and dilutive operating earnings per share of $1.78 and $1.68 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the Company's performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature. Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company's performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company's core businesses. For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains or losses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they

necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.)

Interest And Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $131,000 to $9,108,000 compared to $8,977,000 for the same period of 2007. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of growth in average taxable investment securities of $15,963,000 coupled with a 48 basis point ("bp") increase in the related securities yields for the three months ended September 30, 2008 over the same period of 2007. This combination resulted in a $345,000 increase in taxable investment securities interest income. Over the same time frame, the average balance of tax-exempt investment securities increased $8,048,000 with the portfolio yield remaining stable at 7.06% resulting in a $97,000 increase in tax-exempt interest income. On a taxable equivalent basis, the interest income from the investment portfolio increased $492,000 due to the portfolio composition and increase in taxable investment security balance and yield. The decrease in dividends received is the result of a decrease in equity investments coupled with a general decline in the dividends per share received from the equity holdings. Interest and fee income from the loan portfolio decreased $310,000 as the rate reduction actions of the Federal Reserve Board's Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") served as the foundation for the 54 bp decline in loan portfolio yield.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, interest and dividend income was $27,092,000, an increase of $643,000 over the same period of 2007. The reasons for the 2.4% growth in interest income for the nine month period are identical to those for the three month period ending September 30, 2008 discussed above. The growth in average loans of $6,972,000 coupled with a 37 bp decrease in the loan portfolio yield due to the decreasing prime rate resulted in a decrease of $624,000 in loan interest and fee income. Average investment securities and interest bearing deposit income increased $1,267,000 due to an increase in average balance of $27,636,000 and a 12 bp increase in yield. The increase in yield was due to an increase in yield on taxable and tax-exempt securities of 16 bp and 12 bp, respectively. The increased yield was primarily the result of approximately $30,000,000 in bonds that were added during the last half of 2007 as part of a leverage strategy. The asset allocation between loans and the investment portfolio composition resulted in taxable equivalent interest income increasing $849,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $517,000 to $3,595,000 compared to $4,112,000 for the same period of 2007. The decreased expense of $425,000 associated with deposits is primarily the result of a reduction in rate paid of 106 bp on time deposits. Factors that led to the rate decreases include, but are not limited to, FOMC interest rate actions over the past year, campaigns conducted to attract 8 to 12 month maturity CDs that have resulted in an increased repricing frequency, and decreased average utilization of $10,038,000 in brokered CDs. Short-term borrowings interest expense decreased $58,000 as the increase in average balance of $18,305,000 was countered by a decrease in the rate paid of 206 bp due to the FOMC rate actions over the past year. Long-term borrowings interest expense decreased $34,000 as the average balance of such borrowings increased $1,270,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, while the average rate decreased 31 bp to 4.33% for the 2008 period. The change in average balance and rate is reflective of $29,600,000 in long-term borrowing maturities during the first half of 2008 at an average rate of 4.77% offset by the acquisition of $10,000,000 in long-term borrowings at a rate of 3.18% during the third quarter of 2008.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $508,000 to $11,542,000 compared to $12,050,000 for the same period of 2007. Interest on deposits decreased $713,000 due to the reasons noted in the three month analysis discussed in the proceeding paragraph. Borrowing costs increased primarily due to the addition of borrowings during the latter portion of 2007 as part of a program to increase net interest income through the purchase of fixed rate investment securities.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin ("NIM") for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was 4.23% compared to 3.98% for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase in the NIM was driven by a 74 bp decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities that more than compensated for a 29 bp decline in the yield on earning assets. The decrease in earning asset yield is due to the impact on the loan portfolio of the FOMC rate decreases over the past year offset in part by increases in yield and balance within the investment portfolio. The growth in the investment portfolio was driven by a strategic initiative in the third quarter of 2007 to increase tax equivalent net interest income by purchasing fixed rate instruments in anticipation of the decreasing rate environment that has continued to date. The decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities to 2.93% from 3.67% was driven primarily by a reduction in the rate paid on time deposits of 106 bp. The reduction was the result of a shortening of the time deposit portfolio initiated in the early stages of 2007 that has resulted in an increasing repricing frequency during this period of decreasing rates.

The NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 4.04% and 3.96%, respectively. The impact of the items mentioned in the three month discussion also applies to the nine month period. A 65 bp decline in the rate paid on time deposits served as the foundation for a 41 bp decline in rate paid on deposits, while the FOMC actions steered the yield on earning assets and cost of borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management's quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served. An external independent loan review is also

performed annually for the Bank. Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

The allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on management's consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to non-performing loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2008, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local economy, increased unemployment, and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions, and reductions in income. Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank's loan loss allowance. The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

While determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.

The allowance for loan losses increased from $4,130,000 at December 31, 2007 to $4,268,000 at September 30, 2008. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.15%.

The provision for loan losses totaled $110,000 and $230,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $10,000 and $60,000 for the same periods in 2007. The amount of the increase in the provision was the result of several continuing positive factors, including but not limited to, an . . .
