Quarterly Report
• Changes in interest rates and valuations in the debt, equity and other financial markets.
• Disruptions in the liquidity and other functioning of financial markets, including such disruptions in the market for real estate and other assets commonly securing financial products.
• Actions by the Federal Reserve Board and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.
• Changes in our customers' and suppliers' performance in general and their creditworthiness in particular.
• Changes in customer preferences and behavior, whether as a result of changing business and economic conditions or other factors.
• Changes resulting from the newly enacted Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.
• A continuation of recent turbulence in significant segments of the United States and global financial markets, particularly if it worsens, could impact our performance, both directly by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities and indirectly by affecting our customers and suppliers and the economy generally.
• Our business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry restructures in the current environment by changes in the competitive landscape.
• Given current economic and financial market conditions, our forward-looking financial statements are subject to the risk that these conditions will be substantially different than we are currently expecting. These statements are based on our current expectations that interest rates will remain low through 2009 with continued wide market credit spreads and our view that national economic trends currently point to a continuation of severe recessionary conditions through 2009 followed by a subdued recovery.
• Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to
operate our businesses or our financial condition or results of operations
or our competitive position or reputation. Reputational impacts, in turn,
could affect matters such as business generation and retention, our
ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and funding. These
legal and regulatory developments could include: (a) the unfavorable
resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory and other governmental
inquiries; (b) increased litigation risk from recent regulatory and other
governmental developments; (c) the results of the regulatory examination
process, and regulators' future use of supervisory and enforcement tools;
(d) legislative and regulatory reforms, including changes to laws and
regulations involving tax, pension, education and mortgage lending, the
protection of confidential customer information, and other aspects of the
financial institution industry; and (e) changes in accounting policies and
principles.
• Our business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through the effective use of third-party insurance and capital management techniques.
• Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can have an impact on our ability to respond to customer needs and to meet competitive demands.
• Our ability to implement our business initiatives and strategies could affect our financial performance over the next several years.
• Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention, as well as on our credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues.
• Our business and operating results can also be affected by widespread natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities, either as a result of the impact on the economy and capital and other financial markets generally or on us or on our customers and suppliers.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
detailed information and consolidated financial statements, including notes
thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our consolidated financial
condition and results of operations are essentially those of our subsidiary, the
Bank. Therefore, the analysis that follows is directed to the performance of the
Bank.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
2009 vs. 2008
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $3.0 million to $5.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009. Reported tax-equivalent interest income
increased $3.8 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2009. The increase primarily resulted from the acquisition of Columbia Financial
Corporation ("CFC") as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The acquisition of
CFC contributed an increase in net loans in the amount of $160.7 million, an
increase in investment securities in the amount of $138.3 million, an increase
in federal funds sold in the amount of $517,000, and an increase in
interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $129,000. Reported interest expense
increased $1.3 million or 21.3 percent to $7.5 million. The acquisition of CFC
contributed an increase in deposits in the amount of $264.7 million, an increase
in other borrowings of $31.9 million, and an increase of $4.6 million in junior
subordinate debentures.
Net interest margin increased to 3.95 percent at March 31, 2009 from
3.79 percent at March 31, 2008. The increase in margin resulted primarily from
the yield on interest-bearing deposits decreasing 69 basis points to
2.07 percent at March 31, 2009 while the yield on total borrowings decreased 223
basis points to 1.75 percent at March 31, 2009. A decrease of 252 basis points
on the short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was the
primary reason for the yield decrease in the total borrowings as the long-term
borrowing yield decreased 1 basis point over the same period. The short-term
borrowing had an average balance of $46.6 million and $28.7 million as of
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The yield decreases were driven by the
rate decreases enacted throughout 2008 by the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) as well as local market competition. The yield on interest-earning assets
decreased 59 basis points to 5.70 percent for the three months ended March 31,
2009. The yield on total loans decreased 76 basis points to 6.31 percent for the
three months ended March 31, 2009.
The following Average Balance Sheet and Rate Analysis table presents the
average assets, actual income or expense and the average yield on assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009
and 2008.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
2009 vs. 2008
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, evaluate potential charge-offs
and recoveries, and assess the general conditions in the markets served.
Management remains committed to an aggressive and thorough program of problem
loan identification and resolution. Periodically, an independent loan review is
performed for the Bank. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly and
is calculated by applying historic loss factors to the various outstanding loans
types while excluding loans for which a specific allowance has already been
determined. Loss factors are based on management's consideration of the nature
of the portfolio segments, historical loan loss experience, industry standards
and trends with respect to nonperforming loans, and its core knowledge and
experience with specific loan segments.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to
make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at
March 31, 2009, 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 or employment and delays
in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased
levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions
and reductions in interest income. Also, as part of the examination process,
bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank's loan loss allowance. The
bank regulators 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.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $60,000 and $0 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Management concluded the increase
of the provision was appropriate considering the gross loan growth experience of
$4,982,000, increases in nonperforming assets, and the general downturn in the
national economy. Utilizing the resources noted above, management concluded that
the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for
probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
2009 vs. 2008
Total non-interest income increased $666 thousand or 133.2 percent to
$1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase primarily
resulted from the acquisition of CFC as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The
service charges and fees increased $159,000 or 66.5 percent to $398,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009. Gain on sale of loans increased $49,000 or
104.3 percent from $47,000 in 2008 to $96,000 in 2009. Brokerage income
increased $18,000 or 47.4 percent from $38,000 in 2008 to $56,000 in 2009. Trust
income increased $114,000 or 300.0 percent from $38,000 in 2008 to $152,000 in
2009. Other income increased $288,000 from $73,000 in 2008 to $361,000 in 2009
as a result of a $68,000 gain recorded on the sale of the Main street facility
as well as increased ATM transaction revenue and related surcharges.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
2009 vs. 2008
Total non-interest expense increased $2.3 million or 133.5% from $1.7 million
in 2008 to $4.0 million in 2009. The increases primarily resulted from the
acquisition of CFC as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Salaries and employee
benefits increased $1.1 million or 110.1 percent for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. Professional fees increased $101,000 or 153.0 percent from
$66,000 in 2008 to $167,000 in 2009. Other expenses, Occupancy, Furniture and
Equipment, Professional fees, and Directors fees all experienced net increases
as a result of the CFC acquisition.
One standard to measure non-interest expense is to express annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average total assets. As of March 31, 2009 this percentage was 2.79 percent compared to 2.73 percent in 2008.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our consolidated assets at March 31, 2009 were $569.5 million which
represented an increase of $1.2 million from $568.3 million at December 31,
2008.
Loans increased 1.6 percent from $320.1 million at December 31, 2008 to
$325.1 million at March 31, 2009.
The loan-to-deposit ratio is a key measurement of liquidity. Our
loan-to-deposit ratio decreased during 2009 to 72.7 percent compared to
73.7 percent at December 31, 2008.
INVESTMENTS
All of our securities are available-for-sale and are carried at estimated
fair value. Available-for-sale securities are reported on the consolidated
balance sheet at fair value with an offsetting adjustment to deferred taxes. The
possibility of material price volatility in a changing interest rate environment
is offset by the availability to the bank of restructuring the portfolio for gap
positioning at any time through the securities classed as available-for-sale.
The impact of the fair value accounting was an unrealized gain, net of tax, on
March 31, 2009 of $1,646,000 compared to an unrealized gain, net of tax, on
December 31, 2008 of $1,622,000, which represents an unrealized gain, net of
tax, of $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The following table
shows the amortized cost and estimated fair value of the investment securities
