Highlight of Business Operations:

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset / liability method by recognizing the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that been that have been recognized in an entitys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in addressing our Companys future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns such as realization of the effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carry forward, and changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof. A valuation allowance is established when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become realizable. In this case, our Company would adjust the recorded value of our deferred tax asset, which would result in a direct charge to income tax expense in the period that the determination was made. Given the sensitivity of our Companys financial performance to changes in net interest margins and increasing reserves associated with loan losses and other real estate owned, sustained negative financial performance could provide sufficient negative evidence to necessitate a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. In addition, our Company is subject to the continuous examination of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Our Company accrues for interest related to income taxes in income tax expense. Total interest expense recognized was $4,000 and $9,000 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total accrued interest was $37,000 and $31,000, respectively.

Our Company recorded preferred stock dividends and accretion on preferred stock of $489,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, resulting in $465,000 of net income available for common shareholders compared to net income of $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Diluted earnings per share increased from $0.00 per common share to $0.10 per common share. Although the provision for loan losses decreased $755,000, or 30.1%, from March 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, net income continued to be negatively impacted by the higher provisions our Company has been experiencing during this current economy.
