CREDIT QUALITY. The provision for loan losses at the Bank increased to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2009. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses at the Bank was $908,000, an increase from $639,000 for the same quarter of 2009. Continued weakness in residential and commercial real estate and high unemployment levels in our market areas had a significant impact on our net charge-off levels and resulted in a higher provision for loan losses at the Bank.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the provision for loan losses at ALC was $478,000, compared to $850,000 for the same quarter of 2009. Non-performing loans at ALC have declined from previous levels, and charge-offs have declined, thus requiring a lower provision for loan losses.
