Highlight of Business Operations:

Our net earnings for the first quarter 2012 were $154 thousand, compared to a net loss of $129 thousand for the same period a year ago. The increase from a net loss to net earnings was primarily due to lower provision for loan losses, higher net gains on sales of real estate owned (REO), lower compensation and benefits expense, and lower provision for losses on loans held for sale and REO, which were partially offset by lower net interest income.

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $423 thousand compared to $181 thousand for the first quarter of 2011. The $242 thousand increase from the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to higher net gains on sales of REOs, which was partially offset by higher net losses on mortgage banking activities and lower service charges for loan-related fees and retail banking fees.

The Companys effective income tax rate was 32.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 40.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Income taxes for interim periods are computed by applying the projected annual effective income tax rate for the year to the year-to-date earnings plus discrete items (items incurred in the quarter). The projected annual effective tax rate incorporates certain non-taxable federal and state income items, federal and state tax credits, and expected increases to the valuation allowance for projected deferred tax assets.

The efficiency ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 71.60%, compared to 75.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The improvement in these ratios was primarily due to the profit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of lower provision for loan losses, higher net gains on sales of REO, lower compensation and benefits expense and lower provision for losses on loans held sale and REO, which were partially offset by lower net interest income.

Net cash inflows from investing activities totaled $16.6 million and $12.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net cash inflows from investing activities for the first quarter of 2012 were attributable primarily to principal repayments on loans and securities and proceeds from sales of REOs.
