Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Holding Company Operations

Forward-Looking Information: Certain information contained in this report, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are subject to important factors that could cause action results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, including without limitation, the effect of changing economic conditions, changes in interest rates, changes in lending activities, changes in state and federal regulations, and other external factors which may materially impact the Company's operational and financial performance.

Critical Accounting Policies: The Company's accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. The accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our most complex accounting policies require management's judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. Detailed policies and control procedures have been established and are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments.

Other Than Temporary Impairment of Equity Securities: Equity securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term "other than temporary" is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

Allowance for Loan Losses: Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. The Company's allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known, and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as well as the prevailing business environment; as it is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Company's methodology of assessing the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: As discussed in Note 1 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company must assess goodwill and other intangible assets each year for impairment. This assessment involves estimating cash flows for future periods. If the future cash flows were less than the recorded goodwill and other intangible assets balances, we would be required to take a charge against earnings to write down the assets to the lower value.

Deferred Tax Assets: The Company uses an estimate of future earnings to support its position that the benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced. The deferred tax assets are described further in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of $523,594 or $.33 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $636,341 or $.40 per share for the same period during 2008. The decline in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 of $112,747 or 17.7% was primarily the result of the decrease in net interest income and noninterest income, offset in part by the decrease in noninterest expenses and the decrease in income tax expense. As compared to the prior year, noninterest income declined $170,977 or 37.1% primarily due to decreases in the net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities, service charges and other fee income and in other operating income. Net interest income decreased $19,278 or .9%, primarily due to the decrease in the interest and fees earned on loans, offset in part by the increase in the income earned on investment securities combined with the decrease in the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Noninterest expenses decreased $25,459 or 1.4% during the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to decreases in salary and employee benefits expenses and other operating expenses, offset in part by increases in occupancy expenses.

The ROA was .81% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to 1.01% for the same period of the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008, the ROE was 7.34% and 9.50%, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Holding Company Operations

EARNINGS ANALYSIS - For the three months ended March 31, 2009

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, which is the primary source of earnings for the Company, is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly effect net interest income. Table Two presents the average balance sheets and an interest rate analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, net interest income fell $19,278 or .9%, from the same period in 2008. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to the decline in the interest earned on loans, offset in part by the increase in the interest earned on investment securities and the decrease in the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities combined with the changes in market rates of interest resulted in taxable equivalent net yield on average earning assets of 3.83% at March 31, 2009 as compared to 3.97% at March 31, 2008. The average earning assets increased $6.4 million or 2.7% from March 31, 2008 to 2009.

Interest and fees on loans decreased $145,594 or 7.0%, from the same period in 2008 due to the decrease in the yield earned on loans, offset in part by the increase in the average loan volume. The taxable equivalent yield on loans fell 72 basis points, to 6.48% at March 31, 2009 from 7.20% at March 31, 2008. The average balance on loans increased $5.4 million or 4.5% since December 31, 2008. The increase in loan volume was primarily due to an increased demand for commercial and commercial real estate loans.

During the first quarter of 2009, interest income on investment securities increased $72,144 or 5.5% as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in interest income on investment securities was due to the rise in the yields earned combined with the increase in the average volume. The taxable equivalent yield on investment securities rose 12 basis points, to 5.51% at March 31, 2009 from 5.39% at December 31, 2008 and fell 9 basis points from March 31, 2008. The activity of the investment portfolio increased with the average volume increasing approximately $1.5 million or 1.4% since December 31, 2008 and $6.4 million or 6.2% since March 31, 2008.

Interest expense decreased $159,410 or 11.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to decreases in the average interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities which were offset in part by an increase in the average balances of interest bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest bearing liabilities fell 37 basis points, from 2.69% at March 31, 2008 to 2.32% at March 31, 2009, while the average volume grew $6.3 million or 3.1% during this same period. The decline in the average yield on interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to the decline in the interest rates on certificates of deposit accounts. The yield paid on certificate of deposit accounts fell 45 basis points, to 3.75% at March 31, 2009 from 4.20% at December 31, 2008 and fell 64 basis points from March 31, 2008. The increase in the average volume was primarily in savings and interest bearing demand deposits.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $170,977 or 37.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to same period of the prior year. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the change in the net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities combined with the decline in service charges and other fee income and the decrease in other operating income.

The net gains (losses) on investment securities decreased $119,894 or 106.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net gains (losses) on sales of investment securities was primarily attributable to sales recorded by the Company and its subsidiary bank in 2008. During the first quarter of 2008 the Company's subsidiary bank sold approximately $6.9 million of investment securities to take advantage of reinvestment opportunities within the current market interest rate environment. A net gain was recorded related to those sales of investment securities and amounted to $112,713. The Company accounted for securities losses of $7,393 during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and securities gains of $114,253 and securities losses of $1,752 during the three month period ended March 31, 2008.

Service charges and other fees represent the major component of noninterest income. These charges are earned from assessments made on checking and savings accounts. Service charges and other fee income fell $46,133 in the first three months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, down 22.6%, from 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in overdraft charges of approximately $41,800. Also service charges on deposit accounts declined.

Other operating income represents fees from safe deposit box rentals, sales of checkbooks, sales of cashiers' checks and money orders, utility collections, ATM charges and card fees, credit life commissions, credit card fees and commissions, income earned on bank owned life insurance and various other charges and fees related to normal customer banking relationships. Other operating income decreased $4,950 or 3.5% in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the decline in other operating income was primarily due to decreases in credit card fees, checkbook sales, other miscellaneous income and a decrease in the earnings related to the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance on its key officers, offset in part by increases in ATM fees and FHLB fee income.

Table Two Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rate Analysis (dollars in thousands)

The following table presents an average balance sheet, interest earned on interest bearing assets, interest paid on interest bearing liabilities, average interest rates and interest differentials for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Average balance sheet information for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and December 31, 2008 was compiled using the daily averages. Total loans are gross of the allowance for loan losses, net of unearned income and include loans held for sale. Non-accrual loans were included in the average balance computations; however, no interest was included in income subsequent to the non-accrual status classification. Loan fees and unearned discounts were included in income for average rate calculation purposes. Average yields on investment securities available for sale have been calculated based on amortized cost.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Investments

Investment securities increased approximately $2.4 million or 2.2% from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. The investment portfolio is managed to attempt to achieve an optimum mix of asset quality, liquidity and maximum yield on investment. The investment portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency and corporation securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed securities and equity securities. Taxable securities comprised 84.7% of total securities at March 31, 2009, as compared to 84.1% at December 31, 2008. Other than the normal risks inherent in purchasing U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency and corporation securities, corporate debt securities, mortgage-backed securities and obligations of states and political subdivisions, i.e., interest rate risk, management has no knowledge of other market or credit risk involved in these investments. The Company does not have any high risk hybrid/derivative instruments.

These securities are carried at fair value and the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of taxes, are reflected as a separate component of stockholder's equity until realized.
