Highlight of Business Operations:

We continue to have success in growing core deposits through many channels including enhancing our brand recognition within our communities, offering attractive deposit products, bringing in new client relationships by meeting all of their banking needs, and holding our experienced sales team accountable for growing deposits and relationships. During 2011, we increased our core deposits by $57.4 million, or 10.6%, and core deposits represent 60.5% of total deposits compared to 57.0% at December 31, 2010. Total deposits increased by $40.6 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2010 and by $56.6 million, or 6.1%, from September 30, 2010.

Our pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, totaled $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2010. The pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, as adjusted, for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the 2010 period was positively impacted by gains on the sale of loans receivable, increased card-based fees and commission income, and reduced FDIC insurance premiums and regulatory assessments and professional fees.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $11.5 million for the comparable 2010 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest income decreased to $33.0 million from $35.4 million for the 2010 period. The weighted-average rate on interest-earning asset decreased to 4.12% and 4.30% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, from 4.56% and 4.78% for the comparable 2010 periods. The decrease was primarily due to higher average balances of investment securities, lower average balances of loans receivable, and the current lower interest rate environment which reduced the yields on loans receivable and investment securities. The

Interest expense on interest-earning deposits decreased to $1.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 from $2.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the comparable 2010 periods.
